FUNDING THE DEBT.

From the ~ y. Tribune
At last-much later than we had hoped-
the Secretary of the Treasury gives notice
that he will attempt to fund the bulk of the
national debt in bonds bearing lower rates of
interest, SO as to reduce the burden of that
debt. If fifteen hundred millions of the five
twenties can be funded even at five per cent.
the debt will be lessened by the sum of fif.
teen millions per annum; if all the bonds ad-
vertised 10y the Secretary should be taken at
par on his terms, the saving TO the American
people would be rather more than twenty-five
millions per annum. Let US all do our best,
therefore, to promote and secure the funding
OF the debt.
Other governments, as well as many CON-
panies, seek to borrow money in excess of
their present liabilities: not SO the Govern
ment of the United States. 1t seeks to bor-
row the means Of paying what 1t row owes,
and for no other purpose. If the fifteen hun
dred millions it wants should all be subscribed
forthwith, there would not be one dollar
more of its promises afoat thereafter than
there are now. Every dollar subscribed to
these new loans will eancel and extinguish
a dollar of outstanding debt. The money
market, whether OF this country or OF the
world, will be nowise disturbed or straltened
by the success of these loans.
On the 9th Of March, when the books for
subscription are to be opened, it Is hoped
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-02-11

that peace between Germany and France will
have been restored. The cloud of war which
hung over the Black Sea will have been
effectually dispelled. The misunderstand-
ings between our country and Great Britain
seem on the eve Of settlement We see no
reason, therefore, to doubt that the 9th Of
next month will be a favorable time to
attempt the funding of tho debt
Should the effort result III failure, the sole
cause of that failure will be the dlapidated
condition Of our currency. The Secretary ex-
acts payment for his new bonds either in out
standing bonds of the Government or in coin.
We apprehend that this precludes subscrip-
tions from the great body of the American
people. We would gladly appeal to those who
have a few hundreds or thousands in a savings
bank to withdraw it aud invest it in the new
bonds; but they would receive it in green
backs or national bank notes, which they
would have to sell at 10 or II per cent dis
count In order to procure specie wherewlth to
pay their subscriptions; and this, we Judge,
most of them will hesitate TO do. If the
effort to fund fails, the disparity between
coin and currency must bear the blame. And
then we must all work the harder to appre-
ciate our greenbacks to par with gold.
The rates of interest offered by the Govern
ment are sufficient. To an unpreiudiced
judgment, these bonds are a better invest
ment than we're those issued during the war,
when il was doubtful that the Union would
be restored. Those who then lent their means
to sustain the Government have ever since
been the objects of Copperhesd envy and
hate, because their venture proved a success.
Now let those, without distinction of party,
who want q safe and good Investment, SUBJ
scribe to the new loans. If the rates of
interest seem moderate, remember the CON-
plete exemption from Federal, State, and
local taxation; bear in mind that you can
borrow on these securities as you can on no
other, and resolve to have one security that
is safe beyond contingency

which such a declaration is only the ind rect man.
festatiOn Of a particular line Of policy"
1t was understood at the time that these
sound propositions had Mr.. Summers full
assent. Their application is announced by
Mr. Fish in bis recent Motley letter, wherein
he says the latter was told to place our
grievance mot so much upon her issuance
of the recognition of the insurgents state
of war as upon her conduct under and subse-
quent to such recognition" We take it that
Mr.. Fish and MIR Sumner now agree that the
true use of the Queens proclamation is, in
case OF fair doubt as TO the negligence or
degree of diligence on the part Of che minis
try in srresting any of the cruisers, to turn
the scale in our favor by the evidence of hos
tile aDimus which il furnishes. And the
whole world will agree that the proclamation
ought, as a matter of courtesy, to have been
postponed till after MIR. Adams arrival in
London, and that Earl Russell was wanting
in international comfy, if not Justice, by
failing to make the DELAY.
As TO MIR. Summers complaint that the
treaty contained no recognition on the part
of Great Britain of a rule of international
duty in such cases, the ground for it is nearly
all removed by her neutrality Legislation Of
1870.
In the speech to which we refer the distin-
guisbed Senator started out with the proposi-
ton that we seek Justice as the foundation
of good understanding with Great Britain. -
In that the whole country is on his side. As
the Northern and Southern States of this
Union cannot be safely or beneficently ad-
ministered by the Federal Government on
the principle of hate or spite of one section
for or against the other, no more can such
emotions conduce to good results between
independent nations with commercial contact.
With substantial justice, banishing all ground
for complaint, the contradiction in the Tri-
bUne to which we have referred makes us
hope Mr.. Sumner will be content, and will
assent to honorable means of ascertaining
what justice is on the points whereon this
country is fairly in doubt. AS to the damages
inflicted by one of the cruisers, tho Alabama,
We have, upon the facts before us, we'll
defined opinion that Great Britain ought moi
to resist immediate atonement and payment
and that it is not case for arbitration. The
claim for damage by the other cruisers rests
on different basis of facts.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-02-11

and America is between England and the
United States. Upon this trade now hangs
the British constitution. War for six months
between John Bull and Brother Jonathan
would precipitate a French revolution
in England aud IN Ireland. As it is,
the masses of the British people are
pushing for American institutions, aud there
is no escape for the British aristocracy except
through the closest relations of harmony
with the United States. Yet again, her
Majesty North American territories, under
the New Dominion, stretching alongside our
o%n from the Atlantic TO the Pacific Ocean,
are evidently intended as future important
British balance of power this continent.
But this balance can be established only
through the consent of the United States,
aud to secure this consent the equivalents of
the hsppiest accord between the two nations
must be established.
This ''joint high commission" at Washing
ton on American affairs may be ranked with
a conference of all the great powers on Euro
pean affairs. Anticipating complete settle
ment of all the difficulties pending between
the two countries in this Washington Con-
ference, as ia our northeastern and north
western boundary treaties, we may mark it
as the opening Of new career to England
and to the United States. In a generous
rivalry they will only fight for the COM
mercIal supremacy of the seas; and the
United States, England, and Russia, by land
and sea, will have work enough before them
in developing their vast domains, which
sweep around the northern circuit of the
globe Germany will regulate the European
continent in behalf os peace. The
United States, under the new compact of
peace and amity with England, will hold
Russia on the seas and in China to terms of
peace. At the same time, step by step, we
may look for revolution in Great Britain
and Ireland which will only end in breaking
up the feudal system and in making the land
open to all the people as We have it here.
Gladstone and the English Liberals are mov-
ing, though cautiously, in this direction; but
the most important movement they have yet
conceived for the peaceful liberation of the
British empire and its people from their
feudsl system is that of this ''joiut high COM
mission looking to the settlement of all exist
ing disputes, and to a complete aud compre-
heDsive entente cOTdiGte with the United
States. The Anglo Rebel pirate Alabama thus
comes in as great peacemaker. And what
does tins hitherto ominous word Alabama
signify? 1t means ''Here we rest"

that he does not think It best for Congress to act
