The proposition introduced in
the United States Senate on the
Both ultimO by Mr.. Hamilton, Of
Maryland, to tax Government
bonds, though voted down by q
large majority, is likely to be an
interesting feature yet in our ma.
tional politics. 1t seems an
anomaly in a great and powerful
government, that it should stoop
to tax every bunch of matches
sold throughout the broad expanse
of the United States, and yet dares
not touch the bonds hid in the
Golfers of those who deem It more
profitable to draw the interest rep
resented by their coupons, than to
invest their money in works which
would invigorate trade and employ
the working men of the nation.

The Tribune excuses the Times warm
advocacy Of the Bonaparte side In the
Franco German contest, because only so
could that organ Of the "Copperheads'
maintain consistency and eyinee graft
tude. During our struggle with the re-
bellion, Louis Napoleon strongly sympa-
thized with the pro-sls.ery party and
urged Great Britain to join him in recog-
nizing the independence of the Confed-
crates. 1t was his intention to intervene
in their behalf, and employ the army and
navy Of France to break up the Union,
and erect the slave States into separate
government. So egE
"He was as good 'Copperhead' as
any in the North, and felt toward the
Union all the animosity and hatred ex-
hibited by the Copperhead party. 1t
would be base ingratitude. therefore, for
the Times or the 'Copperheads' now to
turn the cold shoulder toward their ally
and sympathizer in the day Of his calami-
ty and downfall a fellow feeling makes
them wondrous kind and it is but nat
ural that the Copperheads of America
should now offer their reciprocal sympa-
thy to the Copperheads of France, who
refused to permit Federal bonds to be
quoted or sold on the Bourses Of Paris
and France"

Theirs.

III. Theirs has been added to the
French Directory. 1t will be recollected
that when Napoleon plunged France
into the war which has thus far been
only series of disasters and calamity to
the nation, Theirs, in the Corps Legiis-
latJ, solemnly and earnestly protested.
He asked reflection. And this was all
he did ask. The Emperor, according to
the logic of Thier S speech, was mad. and
he asked that the legislative assembly of
France should not also become insane.
And now he, who SO earnestly and
boldly opposed the war, has been called
upon to take prominent position in con-
Quoting the affairs of the nation. Such
a result could only be upon momentous
changes in the situation since the time
Theirs spoke and now. That those
changes have gone against the Emperor
Theirs position shows. Had his speech
been belied by the event, he would be in
disgrace. Instead, he is part of the
supreme directing council of the state,
while Napoleon hardly figures even as
fgure-head - F--&
There is this to be said about Theirs,
that while he opposed the war on its in
ception, he is an intense hater of Ger
many. IF the madness of the Emperor
in precipitating the war shall not have
resulted in such defeat Of the French
armies, as to make it impossible to carry
out his sentiments in practice, Theirs
would surely go for the most vigorous
measures fer forthwith carrying the
war into Africa. As it is, he probably
comes into power too late to save his
country from the defeat and humiliation
which he foresaW would be the result Of
Napoleon insane obstinacy and wicked
ambition. If not too late to save this
great humiliation, it will only be because
Theirs shall radica lly change the nature
Of the contest, and cause the French sol
diers to fight for Republic. and mems
rights all over Europe. 1t was when
they so fought once before, that, though
ragged and shoeless, they marched into
the capitals of nearly every European
power, and beat the armies Of dynast.es
on an hundred illustrious fields.

PRESIDENT GRANTS honest and eecn-
omical administration OF affairs, without
unnecessary noise or display. pleases the
people much better than more snowy
and expensive administration would.
Breckenridge, on being asked what he
thought of Grant, expressed the opinion
that there would be little display in his
conduct Of affairs, and that the laws
would be faithfully executed in way to
please practical, honest people. Breck-
inridge knows as we'll as any man living,
the hollowness of rhetorical show. and
the folly of turning over the fortunes of
the country to windy and wordy politi-
clans. 1t is good thing to know how
to talk but it is great deal better for
a President to know how to collect the
revenues, pay the public debt, and exc
cute all the laws. Gen. Grant under
stands these things.
