The Naval Appropriation bill came up in the
House yesterday, and We are glad to observe
that a searching debate is promised by the
opening speeches. 1t is evident that there is
also to be some feeling on the subject, which
we are not glad to see, since the public pre-
fers to have cool-headed people vote away its
money. There is already clear indication OF
the disposition of the House to cut down ex-
penses and dismiss to other duty or other en-
Payments the numerous unnecessary officers
of the navy. Retrenchment is the wish OF
the people, as the House clearly compre-
bends, and retrenchment there will be, in spite
of the naval lobby.

Stone Cutters, however excellent workmen in
their special trade, will prove themselves, by
their present efforts, but poor journeymen at
the task of legislating away all future differ
ences between themselves and their employees.
As long as capital and labor have not common
interests in what they produce, they must
naturally be to certain extent antagonistic,

We are glad to note that the moral Of the
" short story" which appeared in our editorial
columns not long ago has received fitting en-.
fOrcement from the most appropriate source.
The New York and New-Hayen Railroad Com
pany has been mulcted in $3.50 on the third
trial of a suit brought against the Company by
Mr. John w. Coleman for injuries sustained in
being forcibly elected from a train at Stamford
for refusing to pay his fare after protfering a
ticket emitting him to passage from New
Haven to New-York, while he was travelling
from New-York to NewII 1t is cause
of congratulation to the entire travelling public
that the arbitrary policy of many of Our rail-
road companies has received so marked a re-
bulle. These soulless corporations have no
higher motives to which we can appeal, and it
is satisfactory to punish in the pocket-their
only sensitive point-whenever they deserve it.

The legal vote Of the City was about half
poled yesterday; but the illegal was out in all
its glory. In most of the lower Wards, more
fraudulent than lawful votes were cast; some
of the voters making a day of it by voting
from poll to poll-sometimes in the names of
legal voters whom they falsely persOnated.
The men who misrule and rob our City are
fully aware of these villainies. All the ma
chinery of Police and of Justice is completely
in their hands. They could, by simply holding
up a menacing hand, stop these frauds at
once; they do not, because they pay for and
profit by them. Let us see what they wiz say
and do of yesterdays performance in their in
tercst and for their benefit.

FINDING Or DEBT.

We publish herewith deeply interesting
account of a colloquy between Mr.. c. BOwles,
an American banker doing business in Europe,
and the House Committee of Ways and Means
upon the funding of our National Debt. That
subject is one of the profoundest National i'm
portancc, and we wish to see it studied, dis
cussed, and understood, by the masses whom
it so deeply concerns. The funding of the
reduce its annual burden by One-sixth /;
it would be equal in effect to
reduction of the principal of that
Debt by several Hundreds of Millions.
Hence, we insist that the Funding of the Debt
should be first secured before reducing the
taxes which supply the Income which is essential
to our success. So long as the Secretary of the
Treasury is constantly buying and retiring
bonds, and has money on hand to buy more,
he is master of the situation but whenever the
Revenue shall be so reduced that it barely
equals the current Expenditures, he will be
shOrn Samson in the power of the Philstines
of the Street and the GoldRoom. Hence, we
say Hold on to the Revenue until we shall have
achieved the Funding of our Debt
Mr.. BOwles is confident that we can fund
our Debt at four per cent, if proper means
are taken to commend it to the favor of the
masses in Europe. But this involves extensive
advertising printing the bonds in various Ian
guages and paying the interest at the points
most convenient to our creditors; and Congress
looks with disfavOr on these Observation-Disclosures.
We agree with Mr.. Bowlcs, and not with the
majority in Congress. If we could get the
Debt funded in a new four per cent. COnsol at a
cost for agencies advertising, &c, of two or even
three per cent of its face, we would do it
and we regard the current objections to this
course as the cant of a very low order of
demagoguism. Are we wrong in this i'm
preston Let him who would rather fund at
4i per cent at no charge at all for commits
siOns, &c, step forward and announce his
name We care more for results than appear
ances, and do not wish to forget that the in
terest on Two Billions of Debt is
At per cent. .sl2O.Go,00
At per cent.........-..........-.. lOO,0O,OD
At u per cent....................... @,GO,0O
At per cent. b,WO,OO
We are now paying the $l2O,OOO,OOO, very
nearly we want to get down to the 500 100000
forthwith, and as much lower as possible.
Then we shall be ready to reduce taxation,
applying SIMPLY our saving of interest to the
steady reduction of principal and diminishing
the public burdens by nearly slOOOOO,OOO per
annum. But Congress seems intent on re-
ducing taxes first, and letting the reduction of
interest through the funding of the Debt take
its chance afterward. We are sure that is be-
ginning at the wrong end.
However, read Mr.. BOwles's testimony, with
the questions and comments of Messrs. Schenck,
Maynard, Kelley, Allison, &C., and form your
own conclusions.

Two days of the Senate have been wasted
in listening to the idle and needlessly bitter

and Drake; and there really is danger that
the threadbare arguments which were repeated

of discussing the bill to enforce the XVIII
