The Confederate Debt.


Nothing could be more foolish than Whist
the so-called syndicate say, as appears from
our issue Of yesterday, about the debt OF
The late Southern Confederacy, and their
scheme for securing the payment OF some
part Of it.
In the first place, the debt is not owing
by the States which once constituted the
late Conicderacy. The debt is theirs only In
the same sense that it is the debt OF the indi-
yidual persons who resided within the
limits of the late Confederate States. Vir-
GINA, for example, owes not dollar OF the
Confederate debt: and TO claim that she
owes any part OF ii is to claim that the citi-
zens OF Virginia in their character OF resi-
dents with the bounds OF the late Confede-
racy lie under moral obligation to pay
each his part OF il. The claim is pre-
posterous one, and we should wonder at
the folly of the men who set it up II we
did not bear in mind what DEAN SWIFT
said a hundred AID fifty years ago concern
Ing the class of persons engaged in this
scheme.
Secondly, what could be more visionary
and mpracticable than the proposition that
the United States" shall "set aside" the
fourteenth amendment, which prohibits the
payment of any part Of the Confederate
debt? How set aside? To read what
the syndicate say on the subject would
leave upon the mind the impression that
Congress has the power 10 "set aside
part Of the Federal Constitution. Nobody
would or could infer that it would require
the affirmative action OF twenty-nine out OF
the thirty-eight States OF the Union to
"set aside" the fourteenth amendment.
Yet such is the fact.
Thirdly, what profound ignorance Of the
real state of things in the South is shown
in the threat to prevent capital from flow
ing to us. In the very same papers which
contain the wonderful plans OF this Won
derful syndicate we read accounts Of grand
schemes of northern capitalists to invest
millions of dollars within the limits OF the
late Confederate States. Why, there is so
mUcU cdpllii III tuiS Cutullil Via" IL II NVih'
PEELED to seek investment in the South.
We need not go abroad for dollar, LET our
schemes be what they may. Every year
the United States Government pays of fifty
or n hundred millions Of it, debt, and those
millions are at the command Of our people.
Besides. it is not unlikely that majority
of the voters in each OF the late COnfede-
rate States would rejoice to know that their
State government could borrow no money
either in Europe or elsewhere.
But it is useless to fight against the In
evitable. The foreign Confederate boud-
holders are the victims, we suppose, OF
spectators. Those bondholders know no.
thing as to the nature of our Federal Gov
eminent. They do not realize the impos-
sibility of carrying out the ridiculous
schemes so often proposed to them. But
they ought to have sense enough to know
that il there were any prospect whatever
of securing the payment OF any portion OF
the debt of the Confederate States, the
bondholders in this country would know
the fact and govern themselves accord
ingly.

TIE DARING RAIDERS DAUGHTER.
louisville CommercaLI
Miss Johnnie Morgan, the Generals
daughter, was the heroine OF the Morgan
rednlon in Lexington. 1t did not require
a practiced eye to deGect the warm admira-
ton entertained for her by her fathers
faithful followers, and considerable time
was spent in presenting them To her. Her
close resemblance to her father awakened
in them many OF the memories OF the event
full past, and her sweet face, lady-like grace,
calm and gentle voice, as she expressed her
great Joy at meeting them, stirred their
hearts and secured for her all the love
and veneration they once had for her
father. After paying glowing tribute to
General Morgan, Orator Black turned TO
Miss Johnnie, who rose gracefully at his
erecting. He told her that his comrades,
who had loved her illustrious father while
living and reyered him while dead, had
accorded him the pleasing task OF convey
ing to her from them gentle token Of the
faithful allegiance which her father en-
loved and the warm admiration they felt
for her. He became eloquent as he pro-
ceeded with his theme, and closed by say
ing that "never since the days OF ancient
chivalry did gallant knight crown fairer
queen," and handed her n velvet ease con-
tanning 4 handsome gold watch and chain.
She stood up brayely under the trying
ordeal, during which old soldiers eyes
were blinded by unrestrained tears, and,
turning to the sea Of faces, she said with
beautiful composure: "Dear friends, |
can't begin to tell you how happy YOU have
made me, and how grateful | feel to you
for it. l assure you that i love you as
dearly as my father did, and l sincerely
hope that you may always be as happy
as you have made me to-day" As she
bowed her acknowledgements the giant oaks
trembled under the deaiening shouts that
went up from thousand Threats and the
boom OF the artillery.
