nows TINS? The Belfast journal and
the Rockland Free Press are having fre e
fight, and the Journal Democratic takes
occasion to say that ''the now SUPERFICIAL
Rockland Free Press proposed, in 1861
that the bayonets Of its editor and other
Northern Democrats should force back North
ern Aboliionists from invading the South. "

And this pugnacious Democrat, who has
changed his coat since Ghe Journal says he

is now fearful that Governor Chamberlain
lacks ''that confidence in his party, that in

representatives ought to have" If Cham
bcrlain and his companions in arms had been
of the opinion of the editor of the Free Press
in 1861, we should have had no Senator
question in 1870, and we don't believe the
Republican voters of Maine have any more
respect for the opinions Of the Free Press

probable he did once, and upon that she informed
| him that She was his mother. OF course he was
greatly surprised, and says she seems as stranger
still.
| He was stolen from school when about five years
old and his folks tried in vain to hunt him up but
something told his mother TO come here. After
reaching the island she was tempted to go back, but
determined not to give up, kept on and soon heard
that Il Young man by that name lived here, and was

THE FUNDING BILL.
From the NJ Y. World.

From the NJ \. World.
The new bill for refunding the public debt
presented in the House on Monday, has some
novel and peculiar features which will be apt to
strike the public mind as a financial curiosity,
whatever be thought Of the merits or prac-
ticability of the scheme as a whole.
In our opinion, this ingeniously contrived
project is futile, and can serve no other pur-
pose than to amuse the imagination of the
country and confirm its low estimate of the
financial sagacity of Congress. We should
be only too glad to have it succeed; but we
know no good reason for supposing that our
Government can at present, or for many
years to come, borrow money at so low rate
as four per cent. We are perpetually told,
indeed, that the English Government borrows
at three per cent, which is approximately
though not quite strictly true, as the three per
cent. consols sell at nine or ten per cent. below
par. But the British rate was also three per
cent. before our civil war, and nobody then

tax provided for in the bill is the most
unequal that could possibly be contrived.
Indeed, it sets out with fouting equality in
taxation as unworthy of the least regard. It
exempts from taxation all incomes up to
$4,000 year, and levies its imposts upon in
comes above that sum; while, IL the principle
of equality, which the Chicago platform
affirms, were to be followed, there could be
no exemption at all.
1t is evident that none of the Republican
Representatives who voted for this bill can
any longer be considered members of the Re-
publican party. They have set at naught
and pitched overheard two of its most i'm
portant principles; they have made them
selves regulators, and they have voted against
equality in taxation.
