THE announcement by the New York

The announcement by the New York
journals that there is q move on foot in
Washington to get the Federal government
to assume the debts of the Southern states
not attributable to the war, is one that will
create no small stir in political circles
throughout the country. That such a
proposition should be favorably received
at the hands of Northern Congressman is a
matter of no little significance. That there
is an appearance of justice in it, no one
will deny. The Southern states were COM
PEELED, as an anteccdent condition Of read
mission into the Union and relief from mil
itary rule, to repudiate their own wal
debts. They were also compelled to en-
body clauses in their constitutions wiping
out Of existence not less than one thousand
millions of property in slaves. Both of
these propositions they complied with, and,
when readmitted into the Union, were sub
jected to equal taxation with the people of
the North for the payment OF the national
debt. The only ground on which this in
equality of burden could be justified at the
time, was that it was a just punish
nent for rebellion. But the punishment
falls on all the people of the South alike,
and at least two-thirds of the Southern
population are now, as well as during the
war, free from all faint of rebellion. In
other words it is reversing the punitive
rule as to the guilty and innocent, and
making two of the latter suffer in order
that no one Of the former should escape
the just consequences of his rebellious
acts.
This is the view now being taken by
some Of the ablest statesmen of the North,
and the scheme is not entirely without its
merits. The amount of these Southern
ante-bellun debts reaches IN all the States
about 1925 ,000, 900 and while they hang like
a milestone around the necks of the impov-
erished people, the Federal government
could pay them all off with less than one
half its surplus income in a single year.
But if there is any merit at all in this
scheme, how much more pregnant with
merit is the suggestion we have made as to
the payment by the Federal government OF
the ante-bellun debt of Virginia? This in.
quiry we shall not press to-day, but shall
consider it in the light Of all the facts we
have to present why this just, righteous,
and most equitable claim should be favo.
rably considered by Congress.

The merchandise markets remained without
noteworthy change, and certainly there was no
change for the better, as there was mani.
fest on every hand an indisposition to
operate. There was almost no demand for
very many commodities; but there was no
disposition to press goods on the market-holdcrs
generally manifestng undminished confidence in
the future. Cotton remained quiet and business
In spot cotton was light. At the Produce Ex-
change there was but little change in the markets.
the most noteworthy of which was the depression
In breadstuffs There was scarcely any in
curry for shipping grades OF flour, and
the market was in consequence scarcely
80 firm, except for fancy brands. Wheat was un-
salable except at a marked reduction, which
holders did not seem inclined to grant. Notwith-
standing, Spring wheat was quoted nominally 1c a
