THERE were two fundamental pro.

THERE were two fundamental pro-
positions prominently before the last
Congress. One Of these contemplated
the continuance of high taxes and the
rapid extinguishment of the public
debt, and had the Secretary Of the
Treasury as Its chief and prominent
advocate. The other proposition was
a measure antagonistic, and looked TO
a prompt and decided reduction OF
taxation, leaving an equitable portion
of the public debt to ~posterity to pay,
for whose benefit as much as for that
of the present generation it was IN
CURED; and this latter proposition, 1t
was understood, had the favor OF the
Executive, and, so far as there was a
manifestation of opinion. of the great
body of the people. The taxpayers
were fer it, and they include almost
everybody. There were few who
wanted to pay a liability In the present
that might have been passed over to
somebody else In the future. But In
this particular instance there was
equity as well as political economy on
the side of the least possible taxation.
Congress finally determined on the
policy supposed to have the personal
favor of the Executive, as opposed to
the rapid debt-paying policy Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, and passed
a bill reducing taxation some eighty
or ninety millions Of dollars per
annum. Still, 1t Is observed, interest
payments are continued on the re-
deemed debt, thus favoring unneces-,
sary taxation. The idea Is that pos
terity ought to bear a portion Of the
cost of the war, as 1t has a share Of all
the advantages that may result from
it; and 1t Is questionable economy to
unduly tax the country when all its
energies, weakened as they temporarily
we're by the war, are requisite to its
reinstatement in vigor and the fullest
production. While these reasons are
good why taxation should be lightened
in the present for the payment Of that
sacred obligation, the national debt,
there should not be waste of money in
any other way nor on any other object
that the present generation Is no more
responsible for than Is posterity.

THE SEAT OF WAR
FROM PARIS.
The secre, Trea,y-The Emperor In
the Field.

the Field.
PARIS, July 30.-Emilie olivier,
Prime Minister, had an interview yes
terday with the principal editors Of
Paris, during which he explained the
position of the Government OIL several
questions concerning Prussia. He
gave some explanation of the secret
treaty project which Benedetti had
previously given, relative to the mea-
sures taken by the Cabinet some time
ago, to effect a general disarmament.
He said those efforts were merely In
termediary to those of Earl Clarendon
for the like purpose. Bismarck replied
to Clarendon that King William re-
fused absolutely to dlsarm. Olivier
said he gave the honor Of his name and
that ofhis colleagues that no other offer
was made to Prussia than that made
to Clarendon on the Rome question.
olivier said 1t has seemed equitable
and useful to the French Government
to evacuate Rome because Italy had
kept her promises, which unites us
more closely with italy and Austria.
Captain L.ouetz, inventor of the
" Mitralleuse," has gone to- the army
to inspect the weapons the Govern
ment has received for the six new bat
tallions of the National Guards Of the
Seine. The whole of the guard are to
receive new guns.
The Journal 06iciel publishes Bene-
detti's explanation Of the secret treaty
affair. 1t is we'll known that Bismarck
made France an offer, both before and
after the war with Austria. The sub
stance of the offer was that France
should take Belgium as compensation
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Prussia.
The Emperor, In all cases, declined
the proposition. The very moment
the treaty of Prague was concluded,
Bismarck again betrayed a desire to
restore the equilibrium, and made sew
eral proposals looking to combinations
affecting the integrity of the States
bordering on France. During one OF
these conversations, Bismarck declared
to Benedetti this secret treaty project,
which has just been made public, and
which Bismarck has kept ever since.
This accounts for the handwriting.
Benedetti gave notice Of the contents
Of the proposed treaty to the Emper-
or's Government at the time, but the
proposition was promptly rejected.
,Benedetti adds that the King of Prussia
was not favorable to Bismarck's plans.
To-day the Emperor assumed COM
mand-in-chief of the army. He has
been hard at work to-day with General
lie BGuf, arranging the necessary de-
tails.
The Prince Imperial visited the
camps to-day, and was received with
great enthusiasm.
The health Of the army Is perfect.
There has been no serious engage
ment !; all rumors to the contrary are
false,
It's reported on the best authority
that the recent mission to Vienna Is a
complete suecess. Austria will not
take umbrage at present, and the Ital-
ians In Rome will remain In accord
with Italy.

The neutrality of England, Russia,
Austria and Italy Is now pretty we'll
assured for the present. The shock OF
arms for a time at least will be con-
fined to France and PruSsia, and with
out others mingling in the fray will be
bloody enough.
