Now what ie this but a reproduction of tbe ?sj !u lui theory of a ??liking fund ? Every one ?eojuainteu with th? financial Tiikt 'ry ?T England" during the present century, know that thia "Sinking. Fumi '' was-; tb* pet ?oberne, the Fula ilorijaua, ut Mr. PITT'S gt ul US ; by which he came wt'l nigh ruining England. And it is equally ?ell known that a plain, ahrcwd Scotchman, Dr. ?IAHILTOX, demonstrated to the British Parliament that the entire scbemi was an utter fallacy, based upon an assumption radically false; and that rjo political economist or states man in Europe having any regard for bis reputa tlon, would veuturt, at this day, to advocate a linking fund as an expedient for pay tug off a national debt. This " sinking fund " ii a mere trick among statesmen by which ?hay stave oft' present embarrassment, and leave the future, and greater ruin, to their successors in office. This we believe w?s tb? ease with WILLI AU PITT : and we presumo Mr. MCCULLOCH ii following th* ox . ample of the gToat Euglirh commoner. Mr. PITT had to? great an intellect to haTo been really do ?-?ved by io ebvious a fallacy. Mr. McCcLLtcu, it ii true, does not mil this a linking funJ, but it ii io nevertheless-pork still, ?Sith a change only of the gravy. What is his proposition ? Why, to raia* Two Iluudred Mil lion dollars, by taxation, UO millioni to pay the interest of th? national dob;, and 50 millious to be applied to the reduction of the' principal. Now'a Sinking Fund, statsd in plain English, ia nothing hut tbii : to wit, the railing, either by taxation or loan, a sum of munoy beyond the ne oesjary expenses of Government, which money is to be applied to the pajm-ut of tho principal of the na ti nal debt. And this* is jail what Secreta* ry McCn.l,ocn now propoiei to do-bj a tax of 5? million dol?an, It ia singular thnt fifty years after the publica tion of Dr. DAMILTOKH book, the American peo ple should be called upon again to discuss the expediency of a Sinking Fund. "There is no royal .road to wisdom;" neither is thero any ledgerdemain or hocus-pocus by which a mao, or a nation, may mako mousy. AnAii him and MOXSIBUB Sar both teach that the productive in dustry of a country is its bu ly means of wealth. The idea, therefore, of making money, or in creating national wealth, by lax mg the people, is a simple absurdity. Let us state the case in plain English. The Secretary propoias by a tax of 5 per cent upon the reto?eces of the country, by which he means its income, to raise SO millioni of dollars. This 50 mi'.lioni w|U first be oollested by the tax-gatherer from the people; it will be hurried to Wash'ibgtou and deposited in the Treasury; the crediton of the Government, who are tbs self.saipe people, will next present their demands st the Treaaury o "ice; and this sams li fly millions will again ho paid back to the people. Now who will be made richer by sending out tax-gatherers into thirty-six States to collect 60 million dol?an, convey it to Washington and pay it out again lo the same people ? It would be difficult to conjecture who would be made richer by this abmrd proctss, but easy enough to see who would bo niado poorer, namely, every tax payer under the Government; and this to the serioui amount that it would cost tho Government to,eollect and disburse 5? millions, the expenses of tho Congress that paites the act, of the tax gatherer, of the Treaturer, and ull hii subordinates ia any way engaged in b.isidling the 50 millions, the rent of Treasury buildings, tho cost of books, stationery, Ac, Ac, Ac, the per centage for stetting* while 50 millions pass through a thou sand hands in dark vaults at Washington, and most of all perhaps, tho loss of interest upon 50 millions while passing frupj the tax payer to the Government creditor. This is a simple statement of the great financia! mystery known as a Sink ing Fund, divested of the technicalities of Treas ury Reports and stoek jobbers. Aud th i i ls the profound schemo by which the TreA?urrr propoioi to psy^ft1 for the people of the United States, Threo Thousand Million Dol?an. It wai the advice of a wite man to his son to "go out into the world and eoe by what folly it was governed." We have never known a more opportune timo for inch an excursion than tbe prdicnt, and the place should be the Troasury Omeo at Washington, The entire system of tax ing a peuple beyond the actual and ecenomical expon?e? of Government is basod upon thc fatso principle that Corerr.ruent makes a better uso of money than individuals. Otherwise, if the people can make more profit oui of money than Govern ment, the.-i the nv<ii?y had better be left in their bands; and they left to attend to their OWD busi ness. And heneo tho conceded wisdom of the petition of the Dutch merchant', " Laisses nous faire." England after a few spasmodic otTorts to pay off her national debt by a Sinking Fund, abandoned the work, and sal down quietly under the burden. And we venture to predict that the United States Government will repudiate its debt, or else do the same thing. ? -?--? ?&- The obituary notice of Mr. Jous HAR LI.NO, Sr., has been received, and will appear in our next ia*ue.

The Laureo.ville Herald of the 5th ind., says : The announcement of the death of this distin guished divine, though his precarious situation wat known to tunny, cannot but carry a pang of sorrow to the hearts of his many admiring friends? and to the Methodist Episcopal Church at large, of which he was an eminent end loved pastor. Our readers will remember that, some weeks since, Mr. MeSwuin, unfortunately, had his leg brokon, bj jumping from his bogr/y, in appre hension of danger fi om an unruly horse. Ile ?ufferod intensely with tho broken limb, but his physicians think the broken bones would have healed, had not a diarrbioa fallen upou him, which running into a typhoid disentery, with the in flammation attending the fracture., proved more than his system could bear, und which terminated fatally on Monday morning last, about 1 o'cUck. Mr. MeSwain had been an active and efficient preachor for oror twenty-five years, having served ai an itinerant in almost every corner of Ibis State. Ile was, for a time, Presiding Elder of the Cokctbury District, Ka\ wu?, at the lime of biston th, an itinerant preacher on this circuit .

The sol? result of Fenlanism, so far as we can se?, is a struggle for place, power and money hare, in America, and the arrest and imprisonmtat ?f a few honest but imprudent men in Ireland. The crown has not yet tumbled from Victoria's h ?ucl ; neither have the shtxklos been struck from th? limbs of Ireland. Th? /hole thing seems te b? a bubble or a iwindle. Having road and reflected upoh th?-story of the Killeen ny Cats, we rather anticipate a similar result in th? present case, thinking lt mora than likely that, vary soon, noth ing will be left of Fenianism bnt a few mangled remains for the coroner to hold an inquest upon. Negro Suffrage* Female Suffrage, Rad 4 tenham, Hell-fire. " And all that sort of thing." Th? Rsv. Henry Ward Bo ?cher has been delivering aa address in the Hall of the House of Represantatives at Washington, before n large andiene?, in favor of universal suffrage, Itt?lflding isuwrir. Tb? ?hoi? thing-as may ba well imagined from th? latter olause of th? preceding paragraph-was a-w-f-u-1 ! A "negro minister"' (nigger preacher) opened the meeting-or the performance rather. Three members of the Cabinet wer? present, and noarly all of the Senators and members of the House. Mr. Beecher claimed the right of suffrage not only for the black man, but also for ?h? black woman ; and, after the black woman, for the whito woman. Polities, be said, would always be barbarous until men and women gir? their votas together. " Woman is the great ??viiiser, and when woman atops at home and man goes abroad, the man begins to be an animaL" And this umi Beecher, as wa have before narrated, has written a book in which he expresses : he strongest doubts touching the reality of hell-fir* and the eternal punishment of tb? w eked. The thing has mad? a strong impression upon oar mind, for Beechar is a very great light, and wa earnestly hope, in view of the malice, venom and wickedness of Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, old Beacher himiolf, and all the devils that make up tb? Rad ical Pandemonium, that his doubts are well founded. Congressional. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. . SENATE.-There was no business of impor tance transacted. HOUSE.-Williams offered a resolution, that in order to maintain tbe national au thority, and to protect the loyal citizens of the seceding States, th e military forces of the government should not be withdrawn from those States until Congres* declare their presence unnecessary. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. In responso to the Senate resolutions a*k> ing why Jefferson Davis has not yet- been tried, the Pr?sident, to day transmitted a message, enclosing a letter from Attorney General Speed who state? that no Circuit Court has been held in the late rebellious districts since thc termination ol hostilities', and holds the opinion thiit tho late insur gents who ur? waiting trial should be tried ouly before civil courts, when they are fully and actually restored, and has not thought it proper to advise President Johnson lo cause criminal proceedings to be . instituted against Mr. Davis or any other insurgent in the States or districts in which they were not actually present during the prosecution of hostilities. Senator Wilsou introduced a bill fixing the peace establishment of the army. It provides for 7 regiments of artillery, 16 of cavalry, CO of infantry j each branch to have a propor tionate number of black troops officered by white men. Home offered a resolution declaring that the seceding State* had forfeited their rights. Ile made a speech denying the doctriue ol destructibility of State governments, aud said the President had no right to restore the rubel States, bis duties being only exe cutive. In the Houfe, Wilsoa, of Iowa, made a speech in support of the bill extending negro suffrage in the District of Columbia. He said the social element here fostered seces sion. He made a lengthy speech on tho subject. Browycr, of Pennsylvania, opposed the bill, on the ground that this was a white man's government. SchofiehJ, of Penn., favored the bill. A gentleman from New York, who came down thc road yesterday, reports that at Or.elika a negro girl, some sixteen or seven teen years old cam? in, with her ears cut off close to her head, and alleged that it wax doue by a man in United States uniform, be cause she would not let him do violence to her person. No notice hud been taken of the outrage by the military authorities. Such inhumanities should be ferreted out, and tho guilty parties punished severely who ev er they may be. Where the civil authority bas not power to act, tim military certainly bas, and we trust between tho two co acts of thc kind will be allowed to disgrace tho com munity.-Montgomery Advertiser, Otb inst.
