The New Funding Bill.

The Funding Bill, as it passed
the Senate, provides for the issue
of 400, 100000 of coupons, or reg
istered 10 40 year bonds, bearing
5 per cent, coin interest, for dis
posal in the United States, or else
where, at not less than par value
for coin, or in exchange for 500
bonds of equal aggregate par val
ue; also for four hundred millions
15.40 year bonds, bearing a per
cent. coin interest for similar dis
posal, at not less than par value for
coin, or the redemption of bonds
bearing higher rate of interest;
also for the issue of four hundred
millions Of 20.40 year bonds bear
ing 4 per cent. coin interest for
similar disposal at not less than
par value for coin, or the redemp-
ton of outstanding bonds. A fur
ther issue of the last named bonds
is authorized at the discretion of
the Secretary of the Treasury, pro
vided the aggregate debt of the
United States is not thereby in
creased.
All of these bonds are to be ex-
enpt from taxation.
The Secretary of the Treasury is
authorized to appoint agents in
the United States for the negotia-
ton of the bonds, and sum not
exceeding one-half of one cent, is
appropriated to pay the expenses
ofprcparing, issuing and disposing
of the same.
One hundred and fifty million
dollars annually OF the dutiea on
inn orted goods are applied to the
payment of interests and a reduc.
ton Of the principal Of the public
debt and United States bonds now
held as sinking fund in the Treas,
ury as well as those hereafter pur-
chased shall be cancelled and de-
stroyed on and after the 1st of Oc-
tober next.
The registered bonds of any de
nomination, not less than $1,000,
issued upon the provisions of this
act, are to be deposited with the
Treasurer as security for the circu-
lation Of National banks, The cir
culation of those banks which do
not comply with this provision
within a year from the passage of
the act, to be forfeited; provided
banks shall be allowed, upon Civ
ing thirty days notice to the Comp
troller of the Currency to deposit
legal tender notes with the Treas
ury to the amount of the outstand-
ing circulation, and take up the
bonds pledged for its redemption,
and provided further, that not
more than one-third Of the bonds
deposited by any bank as such Sc
culity shall be Of either of the
classes of bonds hereby authorized
on which the maximum rate of in
terest is fixed at j or 5 per cent
per annum The amount Of circu.
lating notes received by any bank
shall not exceed eighty per centum
of par value of the bonds deposit
ed.
The last section authorizes banks
to be organized and do business
on depositing $4,000 in United
States notes with the Comptroller
of currency in exchange for bonds,
and receive circulating notes the
same as other banks without res
pect to limitations of the aggregate
circulation of the national currency
provided however, that as circula-
ton notes are issued under this
section, an equal amount Of United
States notes shall be cancelled and
destroyed.

BURGLARY IN HIGH Places
While Nj. Packard, formerly City
Clerk, was absent to consult Gov.
AlcOrn whether the authority Gen.
Weber presumed to exercise over
him as city clerk was legal, he,
deeming 1t his duty to care for the
books, seals, &C.. In his possession,
locked his safe and his office to
keep out intruders. But the door
was forced open, aud a day or two
ago the safe was forced open aud
the books and seals taken there
from.
1t Is a nice question whether this
is a burglary or not.
The property never had come into
the possess ion Of General Weber,
even constr uctively. 1t was the
official property of Mr. Packard as
the regular City Clerk.
Was Gen. Webber authorized to
pursue the course he has?
Should he not have taken the
proper legal steps to secu re possess
sion Of the city's property, which
would test his own authority p
Did he shrink from that test?
We think so, and well he might.

The 18th Amendment is not
constitutional law, because:
1.-The amendment was not lie.
gally proposed.
Amendments may be proposed
by n Convention Of all the States,
or by Congress. In the latter case
the Constitution distinctly pro.
vides that "no State, without It's
consent, shall be deprived of its
equal suffrage in the Senate" The
amendment In question was pro.
posed by Congress, and ct 9 time
when several Of the States were re-
fused any voice In the Senate,
though present aud demanding
their equal suffrage.
II.-It has not been ratified by
the requisite number Of States.
There are admitted to be thirty.
seven States belonging to or in the
Union. Twenty. eight 0fthese con-
stitute thFes.fouFths. The Score.
tary Of State enumerates twenty.
nine as having voted for rati6ca-
ton. The list includes New York,
Ohio, and Indiana. The body
claiming to have ratified the instru.
ment in Indiana was net the Legis-
lature Of that State. It was less
than o quorum Of that body. II
was really a caucus Of the members
Of that Legislature who werC
friendly to the ratification. Mani.
testify that action was illegal, thu
leaving but tWenty-eight States
favorable TO ratification, according
to Mr.. Fish's showing.
Ohio and New York have eacE
passed upon the question twice
The Legislature of Ohio o year age
rejected the amendment, and thu
Legislature Of New York ratified
It. These Legislatures have eaCl
reversed their action during theil
present sessions, so that Ohit
stands by her last expression, foI
ratification and New York against
Clearly then, II Ohio may reverse
her expression New York may d.
the same ; or If the first expression
In either case is to be accepted as
flnality, 1t must be In both cases
Therefore but one of these State
can be counted in the affirmative
The court must determine which
may be counted for ratification,
We submit that the rule by which
1t determines the matter must be
applicable to both States, and II ap'
plicable, will throw the vote OF one
or the other out, thus leaving less
than three-fOurths Of The States fol
ratification.
IlI.-Military Districts having
no representation in Congress and
no status as States, have been per.
mitted to vote as States.
Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia,
and Texas are counted as four

sary for ratification. Neither Of

TO REGULATE STATE SUE
sD.I RRAGEs

Property has never been suffl;
GENTLY protected. 1t has been re-
quired in the main to bear the
whole burden Of supporting the
Government. Upon it taxation is
assessed and from it is collected.
There can be no assessed value of
intellect and Of consequence no
revenue derived from it. There
is, then, but one source other than
property upon which q tax is as
scssed and that is the poll. When
this tax is not paid voluntarily
there can be no Legislation to force
the payment of it under the pres
ent and past systems, for where
there is no convertible value
there can be no distraint.-
Yet voters who possess moth
ing, aid in nOwise in defray-
ing the expense Of Govern
ment, control by their votes the
property Of the country. This is
m~anifestly unjust, for no man
should control hat in which he
has no interest. Modern legisla-
ton is eminently selfish and i'm
pure. 1t cares only for self, and
50 long as others have to pay i'm
posed taxation it cares not how
heavy it may be. We know Of no
check which can be put upon it.
Universal suffrage carries with il
the right Of all voters to vote upon
all questions of public Importance.
and hence property holders, jeal'
Gus in the protection of their IN
terests, are forced to surrender
their worth to the tender mercy o.
linen, who know not its value and
who are not interested in its pro.
lection. The injustice Of this, il
strikes us, is plainly apparent to
every one, yet as we have said We
see no means by which it can be
avoided. There is, however, thai
in connection with this subject
which can be corrected and to thil
We desire to attract the attention
of our Legislature.
There are many voters in al
most every State who, although
not possessing property, not alone
vote upon all questions involving
taxation, but vote when they in
no wise aid in the support Of thu
Government which they control
We refer to q very large clasl
Of men who pay no taxes, yet bsv'

as much voice aud management
in the control Of Governmental
affairs as those who, honestly pay
ing their taxes each year, enable
the government to exist, for. none
can exist without money. The
injustice Of this condition Is seen
in this, that II the property owner
refuse or fail to pay his taxes,
his property Is ut once seized and
sold to satisfy the demand Of the
government created BY men who
laugh at the presentation Of tax
accounts. The man who honestly
and fairly pays his taxes has no
more voice than be who refuses
to pay, and having nothing can
not, under the present system, be
forced to pay. This subject is in
the hands Of the Legislature, and
that body can so arrange it that all
in common will be required to pay
their proportiOnate share Of taxes
Under the present system the
State is yearly swindled out Of
thousands Of dollars Of its legiti'
mate revenue. 1t requires just SO
much to pay the expense, and
property is compelled to furnish
it. As slight as is the amount
many voters fail and positively
refuse to pay the poll tax, an'
hence an assessment additional Il
made upon property to cover thi
: deficiency, Some Of the States Il
I the Union have so legislated tina

exist, and we call upon the Legis
: lature of Mississippi to adopt sim
