The debt of England, which is the greatest at preaent,- ls even now but a little in exceas ot tiat iff'France, and the extraordi? nary credit of-60,000,000 francs, voted bythe Corps Leglslatlf makes the two debts almost equal. But the French Ministry acknowledges that this sum will be entirely inadequate for such a war, and so we can expect that new sums may be voted at any moment. The Chambers of Prussia have also voted a credit Of 120,000,000 thalers, but the debt of the country is so ?mall that even a larger increase will not put the Prussian finances in a pre? carious condition. -A firm in New York City recently sent to the United States Treasury a $60 Continental Bank note, asking if it is redeemablo. In re? ply, the Treasurer states that the Continental money was never redeemable by the United States. By the act of August 4,1700, (1 Stat? utes, 140,) it was receivable at the treasury lu subscriptions to a loan, at the rate of one hun? dred dollars in Continental to one dollar in specie. By the act of March 3, 1797, (1 Stat? utes, 516,) It was declared that said money should be receivable as above until December 31, 1797, and no longer. He also adds, the only value the note can possible have is as a curiosity, and that without doubt it is a coun? terfeit one. Free Speech and Free Discussion. The political canvass in South Carolina has advanced to the secoud stage. Trick? er}' and subterfuge have failed, and now, as at Chester, the satellites of the Ring meet the arguments of the Reform candidates with stones and bludgeons. Whether we shall advance to the third stage-that of Winchester rifles and bloody riot-depends upon Governor Scott, and not upon the party of Reform. The honest people of the State do not invite disorder. Conscious of the strength and purity of their cause, they de? sire to set argument against argument, and fact against fact. But they will not be brow-beaten or driven from the hustings, though all the rifles in the Union were level? led against them. It has been evident, from the opening of the canvass, that the Scott Ring dreaded the effect that might be produced upon the col? ored people by the close reasoning and fiery eloquence of Carpenter, Butler and Ker? shaw. They devised an ingenious plan for keeping the freedmen away from the Reform gatherings. With the published list of ap? pointments before them, they, upon nearly every occasion, ordered a Scott barbecue, or so-called nominating convention, to be held on the day of the Reform meeting, at a spot .several miles distant. Their runners were sent out in all directions ordering the ne? groes, in the name of Governor Scott, to keep away from the Reform meetings. Rumors were industriously circulated that the Reformers intended "to poison" the col? ored men at the Reform barbecues, and now and then a crowd of the slaves of the League beat, without mercy, an isolated colored man who had the courage and the sense to think for himself, and look to his own interests instead of working on for the interest of the Ring. By these means hundreds of freedmen have been kept away from the Reform meet? ings, and this, to the chagrin of the Scott faction, has wonderfully strengthened the position of the Reform party. The colored men who did hear Carpenter, Butler and Kershaw have been, for the most part, con? vinced and converted, and they have spread over the country the watchwords of Reform more thoroughly and effectually than could have been done by our most active public canvassers. If the Reformers are as weak and corrupt, and the Ring is as strong and pure, as the Scott emissaries declare them to be, why should tbe colored men be de? barred from the privilege of witnessing the discomfiture of the Reformers by the cham? pions or the Ring ? Is it feared that they cannot discriminate between the true and the false ? Have they not the honesty and the manhood to love what is right and to hate what ia wrong ? The Reform party con? tend that the colored people, as free men, can judge for themselves; that the colored peo? ple, and not Scotty & Co., shall determine whether it is best for them to vote on the side of Whittemore and Orr, or on the side of Hampton, Kershaw, Perry and Wardlaw. The Scott Ring do their be3t to drive the negroes from the Reform meetings. The Reformers invite all honest men to come to their meetings and hear and decide for tbcmsrlvcs. In fact, thf? Ring dread the influence of truth and candor. Hence their efforts to hold the colored people in political chains, and to whip them into a blind sup? port of the Scott party. That these efforts have failed, the muetings in the up-country show, and this led to the attempt made at Chester'to bully the Reformers into, silence. This was the flr3t meeting at which both Scottites and Reformers had spoken on the. same stage. A written agreement had beea made which bound the meeting to hear, without interruption, all the speakers. The Reformers listened attentively to what Chamberlain and Tomlinson had to say. But when Carpenter and Butlerihad stripped them bare, had rebutted their arguments, disproved their assertions and exposed the iniquity of their party, thi3 Senator Wim? bush, one of the signers of the agreement, provoked a disturbance and egged on th"* colored people to a riot, in which Judge Carpenter and others were exposed to serious danger. As it wa3, two inoffensive citizens were wounded by the mob. We are glad that the decent people of Chester did not, as they might have done, drive the mob out of the town. The Re? formers had on their side every element ? strength and security. They could have whipped Wimbush aud his gang into obe? dience. But, we repeat it, we are glad that they held their hands. A like forbearance will not always be shown. What we desire is a peaceful canvass, without tumult and without bloodshed. No eflbrt will be spared to preserve peace, but if Scott will have war, he shall have it-in self-defence. Tbe Eligibility of Members of Congre?. The New Y'ork World calls the attention of the South to the great importance of nominating for Congress those persons who, if elected, can take their seats without any action by that body in the nature of a relief bill. This is the earnest advice of all the friends of the South, for it may be taken for granted that the Radicals will stretch the : law to the utmost, and will make no con- " cession whatever to any person not u - thorough-paced member of their party. They may go so far* as to refuse their seats to < members who are lawfully elected by large majorities, and are in every way eligible. This is what they will do, if they daw, in the case or the members elect from North Caro? lina. Against this usurpation of power the South can only protest; but it can avoid giving the Badicala an excuse for effecting under cover of the law, exclusions which will leave them, as before, in the majority. The Southern members should, nt least, be eligible according to law ; this is demanded of the South in justice to itself, as well as in justice to those Northern members who are ready to battle for the restoration, and main? tenance of a truly constitutional Union. The proscriptive barriers which stand in the way of Southerners are two in number the Fourteenth amendment and the test oath ; nud it unfortunately happens that many Southern citizens who would not be excluded from Congress by the former, are effectually shut out by the latter. '. The. third section of the Fourteenth ameudrrleut is in these words : SEC. 3. No person shall be a senator or rep? resentative to Consress, or elector of Presi? dent and vice-President, or hold any office. Civil or military, under the United States or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member ot Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Con? stitution of the United Slates, 6hall have en? gaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two thirds ot each House, remove such disability. This excludes all citizens who, previous to the rebellion, had held any Federal or State office which required them to swear to sup? port the Constitution ; but it does not ex? clude anybody for simple participation in the rebellion, not even if he was an officer of the Confederate Government or a military officer in its service. Heuce some have in? ferred that such persons are not debarred from admission to Congress. By the Fourth teenth amendmeut they are not, certainly but what is called the iron-clad test oath, which is inflexibly administered to the mem? bers, shuts out all who cannot take it. This oath required by the act of July 2, 1862, which is still in force, is iu the following words: I, A. B , do solemly sw??r (or affirm) that have never voluntarily borne arms against the United States since I have been a citizen thereof; that I have voluntarily given no aid, countenance, counsel, or encouragement to persons engaged in armed hostility thereto; that I have neither sought nor accepted nor attempted to exercise the functions ot any office whatever under any authority or pre? tended authority In hostility to the United States; that I have not yielded a voluntary support to any pretended government, author? ity, power, or constitution within the United States hostile or inimical thereto And I do further swear (or affirm) that, to the best of my knowledge and ability, I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that Twill bear true f<h and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, with? out any mental reservation or purpose of eva? sion, and that I will well and faithfully dis? charge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter, so help ine God* Now if any Southern district elects a member who cannot take this iron-clad oath, it will merely throw away a seat in the House and a vote against Radical tyranny. The oath, according to the New York World, will certainly be enforced; and that oath cannot be taken by any man who, in or out of the army, gave voluntarily any aid, as? sistance or encouragement to the "rebel "lion," orto persons engaged in "rebel "lion." This oath virtually excludes all but Southern Union men as they ,hre called. The candidates must be taken, it would seem, from among Southern Union men, or from among those who have taken up their residence in the South since the war, and who, besides, gave the South, during the war, neither encouragement nor assistance. There i3, however, a modified oath provid? ed by an act passed iu 1868 ; but this modi? fied oath is only for members disqualified under the Fourteenth amendment, whose disability has been removed by act of Con? gress. R. R Butler, of Tennessee, Senator Pool, of North Carolina, aud more recently Senator Johnson, of Virginia, and General Lewis, of Kentucky, were admitted on tak? ing this modified oath ; and there may have been some other instances. But it has no application to ordinary case3. To make our meaning clear, it may be added that General Butler, for example, who wus disqualified by the Fourteenth amendment and has had his Usabilities removed, could take the modified oath and claim his seat, while any private in his command, although not, disqualified Dy the Fifteenth amendment, could not :Iaini a seat, because, haviBg voluntarily been a soldier, he could not take the iron? clad test oath. "We hope and trust that the Southern di3 ;rlct3, bearing these faces in mind, will be specially careful either to nomiuate men ic/to have had their disabilities removed, or those who do not rest under the disabilities of he Fourteenth amendment, and can take (he r on-clad test oath. ?cmoools.
