FUNDING,
N NJ. DREW, Secretary Of State.

Mr.. Spinner, the United States Treasur-
err. is very decided in his opinion of the
necessity and practicability of funding the
national debt. Having been written to by
some of the national banks to know his
views about funding, he has given them
in letter which is made public. He is
not only in favor of funding the debt, but
of reducing the rate of interest to four per
cent. He has no doubt that four per
cent stock can be negotiated in Europe, and
thinks that if others can afford to purchase
Il four per cent stock it should be no hard
ship for the national banks to do so. He
says there is fear that unless some fair
judgment is made to satisfy the masses of
the taxpayers, they may take it into their
heads to repudiate the whole debt. What,
then, would become Of the interest of the
banks that bankers have so much at heart,
and of the banks themselves. Indeed,
prudent bankers should ponder well, and
bear the fact constantly in mind that next
to high taxes, banks, Of all institutions, are
most unpopular with the people who have
votes, and who direct the legislation of the
country. If the banks will join their in-
terests with those of the people and will
ask Of Congress for nothing but what is
right and reasonable. they will have no
trouble; hut if they resist wholesome leg
islation for the public good, because they
imagine that it may possibly be against
their present interests, they may find their
mistake when it will be eternalIy too late
for their salvation"
Mr.. Spinner farther says that the fund
ing of the entire national debt at the low
est rate of interest and the best terms pos
sible should now be paramount to every
other financial interest. After the debt is
funded if the banks cannot do remuner-
ative business on the basis established, re-
mission Of taxes or duties may be made
in their favor. He gives the banks credit
for having done nobly during the war, and
hopes they will continue their patriotic
course by assisting the government to place
its loans at low rate of interest so 1.-The
people will be satisfied and reputation will
not be able to raise its hateful head in the
land" This letter will more than ever
convince the friends of the government of
the great need of funding the debt at low
rate of interest, and show the bankers we
think that their interest does not lie in OPP
posing it, but in giving it it a helping hand.

QUESTIONS DECIDED

The Washington Chronicle well says
that ''the vote of the Senate to admit Gen.
Ames as member of that body from Miss
issippi has much Importance apart from its
settlement-of the immediate case in ques-
ton.
1t decides in favor of liberal interpre-
tation of the constitutional provision re-
curing inhabitancy as a qualification of
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress.
1t ought to be the easiest possible thing
for citizen of the United States to ac-
quire an inhabitancy of "A particular State.
The recent decision of the Senate will
tend to promote this result.
1t should be the pride and boast of ev-
cry American that he is a citizen of the
United Staets, and not that he has his
home within the limits of any particular
State. Citizenship Of the United States is
the great thing inhabitancy OF particu-
lar State is minor matter.
Democratic rebels have attempted to
bring odium upon Northern men who have
settled in the South since the war by call
ing them 'carpet-baggers." Let them
learn from the recent discussion and vote
in the Senate that man need not be born
not bred in State to qualify him to rep
resent il in either branch of Congress.
Hencef9rth slet no man attempt to put
down an American citizen in any State of
the Union with the cry of "carpet-bag-
ger"
The vote of the Senate to admit General
Ames as Senator from Mississippi digni-
fjes and honors the citizen soldier of the
United States. Although they are SOL
diers they are freenien, and are capable
of acquiring residence in any State al
