In the House thc bill to provide for the pay? ment of the principal and interest of the bonds .and stocks of the State In coin was freely dis? cussed.

The bUl to change the county seat of Barnwell back tn Barnwell village, and the bill to grant the right of way across the Charleston and sa? vannah railroad, were postponed until Mon. ay. An effort was made to drag the bill to aid thc Chatham Railroad from the Railroad Committee, but failed. There was great rejoicing among the opponents of the bilL The following bills received their firs; reading: To amend the law in relation to landlords and tenants; to define the weight of crude turpentine, (an orders being understood, unless especially stipulated to the contrary, to mean barrels, the weight of which shan be 280 pounds,) and the bill in relation to fences.

When the UR was first taken up, Corbin wanted to give Qe judge of the First Circuit $4??, but Cain and Nash opposed the motton. Cain bitterly denounc? ed Carpenter, aa unworthy of any consideration. He said that he had treated the colored people shamefully. Leslie and Corbin warmly advocated Carpenter. Arnim gave notice that he would introduce a bill to compel lawyers, doctors, painters, tailors, bricklayers, shoemakers and merchants, to bny $50,000 of S:ate stocks and bonds for the better protection ef the people of the State. This was intended as a burlesque on the bill to better pro? tect the holders of insurance policies, and created great laughter.

The bill to incorporate tbePollcy-holder's Life and Tontine Assurance Company was taken up, and passed after considerable discussion. The twelfth section, providing that the personal property of the company be exempted from taxation, was stricken ont. When the bill was taken up, AUen, \ of Greenville, made a motion to have the name of Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken stricken out, and anlmaC verted upon the character of the gentleman In a most undignified manner. Corbin and Cain ob? jected jh? the motion, and Allen seeing that the rest of the senators were opposed to any such ac? tion as he proposed, withdrew his motion. TOWNSHIP POSTS. A report from the county commissioners of An? derson County was submitted to thc Senate to? day and appropriately referred. They state that ?hey had marked off the township boundaries ac? cording to law, bot had not placed thc posts at the boundaries, and recommended that they he allowed to put up oak posts instead of Iron or atone, as required hy law, stating that thc oaken ones would be much less expensive, ami would answer the purpose equally as welL STATS PROXIES.

THE COUNTY OF COOSAWHATCniE. The Senate Committee on Counties and Co Oiticers to-day reported unfavorably upon bill to create the County of Coosawhatchie, a lng that the expense ncccssaiy to ccrry otu objects of the bill would be too great. It wi remembered that thia bill was intr- 'ed session. It provides that from and alter the p. ai thea?, a new county shall be formed ou1 ol Counties or Rarnweil and Beaufort, and sba known and designated as the County of Coo* hatchie, the northern boundary to begin at point of contact of the present Connties of B well, Beaufort and Colleton on Big Salkehati and thence run directly to thc point ou the Sa nah River opposite the north bank of Rocky C (which is in Georgia,) where it empties into Savannah River; the southern boundary to bi at the Saikehatchie, fifty teet south or the Sa nah and Charleston Railroad, and ran pan with the track or that railroad, us lt now ls, far as the angle ic the track of that railroad i west of the Coosawbatcale River, and thenci rectly to Sister's Ferry, on thc Savannah Ri and the eastern and western boundaries to i<c present eastern and western boundaries of Counties of Barnwell and Beaufort betWeeu points above indicated on thc Saikehatchie Big Saikehatchie to thc east, aud on the Saran to the west.

ANOTHER INSURANCE COMPANY. There seems to be a prospect of the General. sembly organizing Itself into a fire iusnrai company. To-day Burrel James, (colored.) ref. sentative from Sumter, gave notice that he wo shortly introduce a bill lo indemnify D. J. R ertson, and Dubose A Co.,of Sumter, for losses s fained by them through the "action of an arni band of incendiaries." it is thought that t biU will pass in the House. This seems to bi very unjust measure. It will take business rif out of thc hands of the fire insurance compani of which there are several very good ones in t State. If persons whose barns, stores or g houses are burnt, arc to be reimbursed the State, thc fire insurance companies h better leave the field. Tersons will either : fuse to take out policies with them at all, or take out policies, and then destroy their prc ' etty, which latter method will prove more dist trous to the companies than the former. But is presumed that only Radicals will be paid f their destroyed property. That will, of cours be a good thing for them. All of them will i snrc their property in the regalarly organlzi compaules, and when it is destroyed, (which w bc done by "armed bands of incendiaries," as i onc'wlll for a moment believe that the owners i tlie negroes, whom Governor Scott In his Surat proclamation Invited to act as incendiaries, wou do It,) they will get thc money for thc policy bel and also thc money for the policy extended by tl General Assembly Assurance Association. Whi next ? THE BAXBBBO ICE Manufacturing Company incorporating bill b: only received its first reading in both bodies thi far, bot will bc passed at an early day. It pr vides that Frank Arnim, Henry Legier and Isl: Legier be declared a body politic, with a caplu stock of fe., ri ty thousand dollars, to be divided int shares of one hcndred,dollars each, with the prlv lege of increasing thc same to au amount not e: cecding thirty thousand dollars, and that imnii ?Rattly after the subscriptions to the said eonipE ny shall amount to four thousand dollars In act m cash paid in, thc corporators may call a meetln of the stockholders for an election of such office: as the by-laws agreed upou by said stockholder shall prescribe. DBAS, A bill to grant aid to the Chatham Railroa Company, which was introduced In the Hous last session, wus called up in that body a fei days since and made the special order for to-day When the hour arrived it was taken np, and without much ceremony, referred to thc Com mitlec ou Railroads, which is generally consider ed as burying lt forever. It kicked and ttrug gled for State pap for a long time, and it sccmi cruel to have deprived lt of the desired anti need ed nourishment when it seemed FO near accoiu pushing its object. MOKE FEES. There ls a Senate bill awaiting passage wilier provides that it shall be lawful for the treasure i of the State of South Carolina to charge and re ceive for each certi?cate of stock, lu transfer o thc same from one party to another, one dollar to be appropriated to his own use; and a furthei sum of fifty cents for each blank used In th? transferring said sum, to bc for thc use anil benefit of the State of South Carolina. THE OOIN BILL. There was a hot debate in thc House to-day, on the special order-a bill providing that rl;e prin cipal and Interest of the State stocks and bonds bo paid in coiu. McIntyre, Fcriter, James, col? ored. Miller, McKinlay, colored, and Purvis were in favor of postponing the consideration of thc bil! to almost any time, from to-morrow to ten years hence. Elliott, colored, DeLarge, colore:!, Tomliusou aud Morrison, colored, were in favor of its being considered at O::C?, claiming that lt spoke for itself. McKinlay claimed that thc bill had not been considered by the Com? mittee 0:1 Ways aud Means, to which it had been referred. This insinuation raised a perfect storm around thc old man's ears. Elliott, George U;e, Uayue, and others, members of said committee, denied the statement in toto. DeLarge, chalrmau of said committee, stated that the bil! had been thoroughly discussed at both meetings, t>"r it ivas probable that his colleague (McKinlay) had not heard them, for he had noticed that at one of thc meetings tie (McKinlay) was asleep by thc arc-from what cause he did not know; that the fourth report of the committee was signed by every member except McKinlay. After considerable wrangling, Elliott secured thc floor. 113 denounced the ac? tion of those who desired a postponement as childish-he wanted these members to show some degree of manliness, but they would not. The excuse they had just f und for a post? ponement of thc consideration of the bill that they had not had timo to think over it-showed great imbecility on their part ; they had bud plenty of time. As for the "gentleman from Coileton,'' (McIntyre, who had made numerous motions to postpone.) the speaker knew well enough his imbecility. If he thought over lt forever so long, he would know uo more about it thau he did now; in fact, te was imbecile in niiuil, and in everything else. After rapping the opponents of the UH pretty severely. Elliott took bis s*at, an<l thc discussion somewhat nagged, but was continued until thc hour of ad? journment. It will come np again to-morrow. It is thought by '.onie that the bill will not pass; others think it will, if it be amended so as to pro? vide fer the payment only of the Interest (not the principal) In coin, lt is reported that an amendment will be offered to pay the members, State officers and pages in coln also. TnE NEW JfKY BILI., Oirercd by Tomlinson in the House Tuesday, pro? vides that there Baal! be appointed bj thc Govcr nor, and confirmed by thc Senate, three persons, who shall be styled the jury commissioners of the State, who shall hold office for fear years; that these commissioners sholl appoint for each coun? ty a person to be styled deputy commissioner of the county, whose duty lt shall be, during his four years' term of office, to prepare a list every year of such inhabitants as are not exempted from jury duty by law, the list not to include not less than one in twenty, and not more thauone in ten, of the voters of the county, relying upon the returns of the last registration; that the deputy commissioner shall receive three dollars a day while at work, and five cents mileage when trav? elling in the discharse of his duties. * RionT OF WAT. In several portions of this State there are par? ties who are engaged in manufacturing, and in order to get their wares to the nearest landing er depot iu order to have them shipped to market, have to pay enormous sums for pasplng through persons' fields. These persona having no law to govern them, oharge whatever rates they please, and force the manufacturer to pay it or carry his goods to some depot or landing which is not so near, and to get to which canses great delay and trouble. With a view of obviating this evil, and to give the right of way to manuracturcrs, which will bc satisfactory both to them and the owners o' 'ands, Fcrlter, of Sumter, has introduced in th .- House a "bill to declare thc manner in which the right of way over the lands of persons or cor? porations may bc secured for transporattion of home products to market." It provides that the proper application shall be made by the party desiring such right or way to the nearest local magistrate, who shall examine into thc merits of the application, and order a board of appraisement, consisting of five voters of the vicinage, two of whom shall be nominated by the owner of the land over which the right of way is demanded, two by the party applying for the right and one by the magistrate; and tn default of such nomination by either of the parties within ten days after notice be given, the magistrate shall appoint a number sufficient to supply any de? ficiency; that thc board of arbitration so appoint? ed shall meet at su h time and place as may be appointed by the magistrate, and if, after a lull hearing, the board decide that the demand of the applicant be reasonable, they shall grant the right of way desired npon the applicant paying to the owner of the land such compensation as the board may decide to be proper and Just provided that no such right of way shall bc grant? ed through any lauds within one hundred yards of the owner's dwelling, houses or farm buildings, and that no damage ?bull be done by exposing the cultivated grounds of the owner without proper fencing at the expense nf the applicant; that cotton, turpentine and other products own? ed and hauled to river banks for shipment by parties owning no land on which to de? posit such article* of commerce convenient thereto while waiting transportation, muy be placed and remain, until Rhlpped, on any unimproved ami uncultivated land at the river bank, on such terras as may be pre? scribed by a board of arbitration and appraise? ment, to be appointed In the same manner as the board to grant right of way; that owners of land who may feel aggrieved by thc decision of the board of'arbitration or appraisement, shall have the right to appeal to the Circuit Court; but they must give notice of such appeal, within five days after thc decision, to the local magistrate: that thc magistrate's pay shall be five dollars, which shall coverall of his services, and that each mem? ber of the board shall receive two dollars per day while actually engaged, to bc paid by the party maklug the application: that In cases of appeal, the magistrate shall furnish a fnll report of the case to the Circuit Court, for which he shall re? ceive live dollars from the appellant.

The Darlington Democrat says : Ono of the most co!d blooded and attrocloufl murders ever committed iu thia community, was perpetrated near this town on Saturday last. Mr. J. LeCrunde Dickson, a:i old, feeble and highly esteemed citizen, living on the public road abuut two miles from the town, was brutally murdered on the road, about half-past twelve o'clock P. M., with? in one hundred ?iud fifty yards of his home. The old mun had been to Hie village, made some purchases and collected a Binad amount of money. About mid-day ho left for home, walking." Ho was found lying on thc side of the public road, about one hundred and fit'tv yards fcona his house; he was carried hume nuil soon became speechless-he died about 2 o'clock thu next morning. Although able to speak when he reached home, he was unable lo tell what had happened lo him. He hod evidently received two severe blows on Iiis hood from a heavy palin;:, which was found near him, ami two blows in the face, indicted by the list of his cruel assailout. Ol' these blows he died. By a curious combination of circumstances thc murderer, while thinking himself safe, was ar? rested, and evidences of his guilt were found upon lits person. He is now lu jail, and evidence against lum accumulates. No doubt he thought his victim whom ho followed from the town bail more money on his person than he lound. He has cruelty murdered u good old man. made or? phans of a large and interesting family,anda widow of a most wnrthy and estimable woman, for an old knife, one dollar and eighty-five cents, and a little bundle of homespun. The murderer is a colored man-a youth of bad character, lt is due to our colored population to sav that they expressed great indignation, and, at cue time, seemed inclined to administer sum? mary and extreme punishment on thc murderer. His trial will come; bis conviction is certain: the pardon of the Governor almost as sure. And thea another murder, another trial, another conviciiou and another pardon. IMPORTAXT PROM WASHINGTON.

Report of the Secretary of the Treasury. Secretary Boatwell, in his annual report tu Congress, which wu1! submitted on Mond;iy, treats first of matters of a-' niL-iltratlon and then or measures or public poi. ./, aud gives a very clear and comprehensive statement or thc natloual finances. In the first division of the report the Secretary .compliments his various bureau oill cers, commends tte report and administration of thc commissioner or Internal revenue. Ac. Thc rollowing are the nioie Important statement* given : Thc revenue receipts have increased $14,431,383, Tor the first Ave months or thc present llscal year over the same period last year, which is regarded and announced as a compliment to the ability and Integrity or the persons employed in that branch or the public service. Tne cost ror collecting the customs dues waa ?i,iv.ii,c47 less the last fiscal year than tao year previous, without any loss of elJleicuoy in tiic service, huton the contrary, it is believed thc means employed lor the detectiou or smuggling are better than ever berorc. Inci? dentally the appraiser's department Ls commen? ded In ibis connection. During the hist llscal year $286,0?3 were pate to certain revcuue otllclals aud informers in eases arising under thc customs reveuue laws. A largo additional sum was al*o paid through the Inter? nal revenue office; the policy upon which this is done is that it stimulates officials to greater ac? tivity In discovering frauds; but m many cases frauds arc not stopped iu the outset, bul allowed to go on until a result is reached which trill inure to the benefit of the otlicere and Informers, instead or checkiug criminal practices al thc outset. The Secretary is clearly of the opinion that the government ought to rely upon public oltlccrs for the proper performance ol' their duties, with? out stimulating them by any contingent advan? tages. Ile recommends an increase ol' the sala? ries or customhouse oin cc rs; and the abolition of the system or giving to them a share or fines, penalties and forfeitures will bc an additional reason ror Hie Increase or salaries. There are now 64 special agents In the service of the department at a daily pay ur $,;?.;s ?5. The organization of the special agents and as slgnmeuts to districts is considered a good fea? ture or the service. The Secretary gives con? siderable ?paco to details concerning thc manu? facture of government not s and bond paper in Philadelphia, tho priutlng or money and bonds, ftc., thc iris; of which has heretofore been given in various forms. In regard to measures of public policy treated of by the Secretary of the Treasury, the follow? ing embrace ali of Mr. Boutweil's recommenda? tions : T.TR DEPRECIATE!* CUBUNCT. The depreciation of the currency is due to two Canses-first, lo au excessive Issue, and. second? ly, to thc want of faull in the government; and ibu extent ol' the miliieno.! of the ilrst-named cause cannot bc ascertained until the second is removed substantially. Whenever our credit, Shall be SO much improved at home and abroad thal holders ol'our bonds are disposed to retain them, even when the public mind is excited upon Snanoiai subjects, wo shall be able to judge more accurately Ute extent of the over-issue or paper money. It is also true that the quantity ol'cur? rency necessary for the transaction of the busi? ness of the country cannot now bc (Ixed accurate? ly. Since the close of Hie war the wants of the Slates of the South have increased, and, conse? quently, a large amount ol' currency has been withdrawn from other sections to supply thc de? mand lhere created. Tho amount necessary for the purposes ol' thc South will steadily increase ror thc next two years. The construction ol'the Pacific Railroad ls likely to result iu the Subsumtion o; paper tor com by the peoplo on thc Cacilie coast, ll is probable that the demand for paper for that purpose win not be less than thirty millions ef do'lars. Asa consequence a very large quantity or com will bc withdrawn from circulation, and thus practically the coin will lio Increased upon the At coast, and the paper In circulation in State of the Rocky mountains will be materia: duced. These changes will tend to diinlnh difference between paper und ?oin. SPECIE BESUMITlON. The ability of thc country to resume specii incuts will not bc due to any special legis upon that subject, but to thc condition of dus tri es, and to Its financial relations to countries. These, of course, will be more ( dependent ipon the general policy of the gc ment. The war exhausted the country of it terlal wealth, and the States of the South Uteri* impoverished. A necessary oouditii thc resumption of specie payments was tl velopraent of the Industry of the nation, South and Nen ii, and thc consequent accu Hon of the movable produits of industry to an extent that our exports ?f those pro should bc equal substantially to our importi long as lt ts necessary to pay for mercha imported, by the transfer of government I or other evidences of indebtedness to other tries, so long will lt bc impracticable tu re asd maiutain specie payments. When the products of industry exported be equal substantially to tho products of countries imported, there will be no demai specie for export, except what may arise thc circumstance that our bonds held abroa sent hume, sold in our markets, and the pro exported In coln. Wbeu thc credit of the try shall be fully established In Europe, and shall bc no doubt either of our ability or dh Mon to meet ali our obligations, bonds hcreti and now to a large extent, held by mere aud bankers, will be trauslerred to capitatis permanent inveatmcut. When this change have taken-place, thc probability of our seen being sent home under the Influence of pol or financial disturbances in Europe will be slight; and when, ns a concurring fact, on ports, exclusive of public securities, shall be to our Imports, specie payments may be resi without even a temporary embarrassment t business of the country. SHIPS AN KLEMENT OK STRENGTH. One of thc most efficient means of streng lng lae country lu it* financial relations omer coumrleH 1- tue development ot our merdai marine. The returns show that a large amount of the foreign trade is iu Er hands. We are net only thus dependent u] rival country for the performance of the bus which should be in the hands of our own pc but our ability to maiutain specie paymei materially diminished. If the entire foi trade of the country, both of exports and pons, were carried on in American ships earnings would not be less than seventy-llv< buns or dollars a year. At present the fre of the foreign trade in American ships do nc ceed twenty-eight millions of dollars. Wer trade exclusively in Amcricau hands, a large or this diiTereuce of forty-seven million of dc would be due to citizens of thc United States, payable In other countries. This amount would be thus added to our al to pay for goods imported from those count If, for example, an American citizen pu rel: In Xew York a thousand barrels of lor six thousand dollars and export 1 Liverpool in an American vessel, and it ls t sold for seven thousand dollars, a bill of exch may be drawn against the proceeds.and an im ol goods of t he value of seven thousand dollars chased In England entirely liquidated, altin at the customhouse at New York there woul an apparent balance against thc country ol thousand dollars. Hut if. on tlieother hand thousaud barrels of flour are exported In a Ur vessel, thc proceeds of the (lour realized In York, and which can be applied to the paymei goods bought lu England, wm bc only six tUom dollars, and there will remain an actual bali against Hie country ora thousand dollars, familiar example shows thc Importance of r tabllsUlng ?ur commercial supremacy upor ocean. And I deem lt therefore essential tc prosperity that the shipping interest of the G try bo fostered, not only as a nursery fer seai but also as an essential agency in enabling government to institute and maiutain specie meuts. It is au Interest also which, in its di opinent, is as important to thc States and pc remote trota thc seacoast as lt ls to the muri sections. Every addition to our facilities foi export of thc products of thc interior is as ad tageous to the producers as to thc raercuauts shipbuilders of Hie coast. RESUMPTION OR REDUCTION. While I do not uuilcipate thai it will bc necc ry to delay resumption uutll our proper conn dal position ls regained, I am satisfied thai development or lb?: navigation and shipbuik Interests will improve thc credit und rapidly i ment the wealth or the country. Thc suggest that I have made lndlsatc my opinion that lt not be wise to resume specie payments wall large a part of the interest-bearing debt of country ls represented by ??-20 bonds, and heh European merchants, bankers and manufue ers. Questions that have been raised in re; to thc nature of the obligation assumed by Soverninent lu the issue of these bonds have oubtedly deterred many persons from pure iug them us a permanent investment, and co quently they are largely held in this coontry In Europe for speculative purposes by per.5 who design to put them upon thc market wi ever the advance shall furnish a sufficient ind' ment, or when political or financial disturbar may create a demand for money or other j poses. It ts probable that from seven to nine bund millions of these bonds arc now held In Euri and, to a considerable extent, by persons i will dispose of them under the Influencer which I have referred. Such a panic as ext. in Europe in ISM, at thc npeuiug of the Austi and Prussian war, would be likely to induce return of ii sufficient amount to this country sale, to embarrass business, and, in case o'r sumption, to cause the suspension of the han lt is. therefore, in my judgment, essential t the larger part of the live-twenty bonds be W drawn, aud that oilier bonds bc substituted their place, issued upon terms and condltl which admit of no doubt. In fi. e, the pract question is not merely the resumption of apt payments, (as a raeusiiro by itself lt is net d cull.) but the problem is to resume under si circumstances lint thc position eau be ma talned, not only In times of tranquillity, but t In periods of excitement und peril. Our course, it seems to me, is plain. Ev measure of Hie government bearing upon subject should tend to appreel tte the value of i paper currency. It is probable that some crease in the volume of paper will ultimately necessary, and I. therefore, respectlully sug? that the Secretary of tuc Treasury be doti wiik authority io reduce the circulation of L'nl States notes lu au amount liol exceeding two i lion cf dollars iii .my ono month. Thus will country be brought, gradually ii may be. und , without disaster, into a condition wticti the sumption of specie payments WlU bc easy, If i unavoidable. . UNITED STATES NOTES AND RON PS. On the 1st of December, isco. the principle the peinic debt ol' the United state's, not dedu lng bonds and cash on baud, amounted to j flui>,-Js6,7sy sj. Ofthls amount, th?: sum of $:g 113,23860 ia represented by United States no net bearing interest. The larger part of un? needed for circulation, but the amount can reduced, from the ordinary revenue of the cou try, if Congress shall consider it expedient make provision for such reduction. The fractlc al currency in circulation was $3S,SS5,6(U 6s, a; there ls no occasion for any legislation In ref ence to this item of Hie public debt. There wc outstanding, also, certificates for gold deposit in the treasury to the amount ol' ?JO.S?-.*,94K. T certificates are redeemable on preseniutto These ihre-.: items amount in Hie aggregate $431.601,703 is, and lu making provision for t public debi Ikey are nul necessary to be co Hidered. Un the loan of .lanuary 1, 1861. the sam $7,02-\ooo is outstanding und payable on the l of January, 1871. The loan ol'is.'.s, of $'JO,O0o,0i is payable in 1873. The bonds known as tett-l'or bonds, amounting to 8194,507,300, are not pay ble until 1874. Thc six percent, bonds, payan In 1881, amount to $283,077,600. As the bom known us eighty-ones and ten-forties,amountlr in the aggregate to $478,244,900, are not due an cannot be paid previous to 157-1 and 1861. lt is Ul necessary to consider them ia making provista for a new loan. The Ore-twenty bonds, ameun lng in the aggregate to $1,002,671,130, are cathi iiue, or wiii soon become due, and lt is to iii class of tis- public debt, and lo this class alan thai attcntloD should be directed. c?f this amount the sum of .$75,477,800 has bee purchased since March last, and thc bonds ar now held by the government. Before any mea uro for funding thc are-twenty bonds can be coi sutntuaied lite goveromeui will be able to pu chase at least $75,000,000 more. There will the remain, on the first of July next, about Sl.460.ouu ooo of Ute five-twenty bonds in the hands of tb public creditors, m tao entire Indebtedness < the United States only thc unimportant sum t *v.7.0im,00y will be due and payable previous t 1874. PONDING TUE PIVE-TWENTIES. Under these circumstances. >t docs net .seem t me to be wine t.? authorize the funding of th whole amount of the live-twenty bends, which as is now anticipate.!, will be outstanding on th 1st id' July next, bul that 32?A000,000 at lesli should bc suffered to remain either for purehas or redemption previous to 1874. Should the sun of $250,000,000 be left for Hut purpose, the cutir public debt would be in a condition to be cosllj redeemed. Uetween lS74aud issi, the ten-fort; bonds c- ni l bc paid, and provision also made ru? the redemption or the bonds which will becomi due In inc year issi. It may be wisc torcduci the imposed luau to $1,000,000,000, which wouli then leave the payment previous to l^si ihc sun of 5t'i7o,000,oo), or hardly more than $tW.uoo,ooo i year. Asi-nralng that the proposed loan will be fsr ar amount not exceeding $1,200^)00^000, 1 recan? mend that il lie offered in three classes of $400, OOO.'K o caoh. The first class or 3400.000.00.1 to u. partible in fifteen years, and to bo paid in twentj yeats. Tho second class of stuo.ooo.oooto be pay abie in twenty'.ears, and lo be paid i t twenty five years. The third class of $40O.oto,C0? tu b; payable lo twenty-five years, am] to be paid in thirty years. The essential conditions ol" the new loan appear to me to be these: l3t. That the principal and interest shall be made pavable in coin. 2d. That the bof?ds known as the tlve-f wenty bonds shall be received in exchange for tho new bonds. 3d. Thar thc principal be payable in this coun? try, and the interest payable either in the United States or in Europe, as t?e subscribers to the loan may desire. 4th. That thc rate of interest shall not exceed 4.ij per cent, per annum. .oth. That the subscribers in Europe shall re? ceive their interest at London, Paris, Harlin, or Praukfort, aa they may elect. (Uh. That thc bonds, both principal and interest, shall be free from all taxes, deductions, or abate? ments of any sort, unless lr. sha ! be tnought wise to subject citizens of tho United States to such tax upon income from the bouds as ls imposed by the laws pf the United States upon Income de? rived frorfl other money investments. There are two reasons, and each seems to me to be a controlling reason, why the bonds of the United States should be exempt from State and local taxes. If not so exempt, the amount of the taxes Imposed by the local authorities will be added to thc interest thc government will be re? quired to pay. and thus the national government will be compelled to provide Tor taxes Imposed by the local authorities. Secondly, inasmuch as the ability to borrow money may, under some circumstances, bc es senilal to the preservation of the government, the power should not, even in times of peace aud prosperity, be qualified by any concession to the States of the right to tax the means by which the national government Ls maintained. The right u use Its lawful powers free of any condition, restriction or claim of another, is an essential condition of sovereignty, and the national gov? ernment should never surrender or qualify its powers in this particular. THU MEW LOAM. In offering thc new loan, citizens and subjects of other governments should receive the strong? est assurauce that the interest and principal arc to bc paid In coin, according to the terms of the bend? Issued, without auy deduction or abate? ment whatsoever. In order to avoid the necessity of employing agents for the negotiation or the loan, 1 respect? fully recommend that a liberal commission be al? lowed to subscribers, and that, those who first subscribe be permitted to select Die class ul bonds in which their subscription respectively shall bc made. I f urt lier recommend, in connec? tion with the proposed loan, that the banks es? tablished nndor "thc act to provide a national currency" be required to substitute the bonds that may be Issued under the proposed loan act foi those now deposited as security for the redemp? tion of their bills. Should any bank be unwilling to accept the new condition, provision should be made for the surrender of its charier, and au? thority given ror the organization of new banks to supply thc deficiency thus created. An essential condition to the success of the pro? posed new loan, Ls the continuance ot" thc present revenue system. A chief means by which the present holders of the five-twenty bonds can in; induced to surrender them, and receive a bond upon longer time aud at a lower rate of Interest, is thc certainty furnished by the magnitude oi thc national revenue, that these bonds ara soon to bc redeemed. We must be prepared tj offer them thc alternative, either of accepting tie new bond at a lower rate of interest, or payment nf the principal ortbe existing bond. When the five-twen? ty bonds shall have been funded to the amount of $1,000,000,000 or $1,200,000,000, the reven? ues can be reduced materially, and yet sufficient sums be raised to "nv-cr thc ordinary expenses of the government, to pay the interest on the public debt, and also to pay $20,00J,000 to - $.00,000,000 or the principal annually. Should our success in negotiating a new loan 1 be eqnul to ray expectations, based upon the rael that the ability and disposition or the peuple ol the United States to pay the public debt aro sulll ! clent to justify us in assuming that the bonds ul the United States will command thc highest ratet lu the markets or the world, we shall then be ia u condition to enter upon the work or reducing tax ! ation at thc commencement or the next session i o f Congress. RKDEMPTIOK OK TUREE PER CENT. CERTIFICATES. On the ruth of June, 1603, the amount of out standing three per cent, certificates and com pound interest notes convenible Into three pei cent, certificates was $71,604,890. Ou the tioth ol June, 1SC9, thc amount outstanding was $54,091, ' 410, showing a reduction of $16,013,4S0 Lu thai , form or indebtedness. On tlie 1st or December, 1809, the amount out '. standing was still further reduced to $40,710,130 i showing a total reduction, In seventeen months or $21,s?8,740. The three per cent, certificates are a substitute ; to a considerable extent, for United States notes being largely held by thc banks as a portion o ? their reserve, and thus indirectly, though not ti ! their rail nominal value, they swell the volume 0 ' currency. I recommend that provision be made fer there demptlou or the three per cent, certificat vs wlthir ?' a reasonable time; and, as a compensating meas , ure ror thc reduction in thc amount or currencj which would thus be caused, that authority bi given to grant charters ror banks lu the State: " where the banking capital is less than the shan to which they would be entitled, toan amouutuo exceeding thirty-five millions or dollars in thi I aggregate. The redemption oi the three per cent eeriillcaies and the additions to the bankingcapl ! tal might be so arranged as not to produce a seri ons disturbance In thc finances or business of tin . country, while additional banking capital wouh be supplied to the sections now in need of it, an. I this without auy increase or thc volume or slrcu . latlon. _ BANKING EVILS. There are two evils in the present banking sys [ tem which require remedy by prompt and elli cicnt legislar ion. The first is the practice on tin part or uanks or allowing Interest upon deposits The effect ol this practice is that monies in Hu hands of individuals, which otherwise might b< loaued for regular mercantile and other business purposes, are diverted luto the custody of banks upon (he idea that, if thc security is not liettcr payment eau bc obtained at a uoaient's notice. Country batiks, and others remote rrom tin large centres or t rattle, having received money 01 deposit Tor which they pay interest, are anxlou t.i transfer such funds io other banks, rrom whlcl they will receive au equal or larger rate orin terest in return. They are stimulated also bj the desire to place their runt's where they cai be ni all times commanded. Thus influenced large sums are placed on deposit with banks il the cities, especially iu thc eily of New York which ls the gr?ai centre or trade and finance foi the Atlantic coast, lu the ordinary cour?e 01 trade thc currency or thc country tends rapidlj to the cities, and it, is unwise tu stimulate tul: tendency by artificial means. lint the evil does not end with the impoverish ntcnt Of the country. As the banks in the eitle may be called upon at any moment to respond ti thc drarts or their depositors, they decllue ti make loans representing such funds upon com murial paper payable on time, bul insist upoi making call loans, as they arc termed, with gov crnmcnlbonds er ether obligations pledged a: collateral security. Merchants generally will no borrow money in large sums payable upon dc mund. The consequence Ls that thc monies thu. accumulated In the city banks are loaned io per sons engaged in speculative pursuits. The extent or this evil is seen In the ract that or the bank loans In the city of New York in Oe tober, 1868, $:i8,ooo,oeo were upon commercial pa per aud $Hb,t>ou.oou upon demaud, with a pledgi or collaterals; ?iud in October, 1S69, $96,000,ooi were upon commercial papar and $56,ooo,ooo 11 poi demand. In thc former year 41 per cent., and li thc latter year ;?7 per cent., of the loans mase bj the New York banks were upon demand. A further result ls seen in the fact that partie: borrowing money upon commercial paper ror legit lu?ate commercial purposes pay rrom three to si: per cent, additional Interest per annum ae compar cd with persons who borrow money forspuculativi purposes, i therefore respectfully r^comuien? thai a law We passed prohibiting absolutely thi payment of iritere.-i by batiks upon deposits, am limiting also their loans upon collaterals to ai amount not, exceeding ten per cent, of theil capita!. 1 um sal ?siled, also, that the practice of certify ittg checks, even when ronds arc in H.e bank t< l?e credit or thu drawer ol* tito check, ?H fraBgh with evil, and thai it ougm lo be sntlre'y pro limited?
