.COLUMBIA. Wednesday Morning:, Dec. 4.' 1867. ' TU* National Debt. "The various burdens of taxation -?hieb the people of the United States jaavo io bear ia their present exhaust? ed condition, is beginning to attract ibo attention of all classes of citizens .^engaged in business. This taxation os imposed for the avowed purpose of ^gradually paying off the national debt. The NeJ? York Sun, a journal which lias made the business and firado of the country, takes the ground that it is an absurdity to imagine "that tho debt must be hurriedly paid, ita position is a tenable one. The ??antry has lately come out of an exhausting war, and it is the worst ?I policy to compel it, while thus weakened ??nd crippled, tu suniu .?very nerve for the sake of seeing ".how soon it can cash the war bill. The country needs a little time to /recuperate from the late exhaustion. '.Give it time to regain its strength; . let it have a fresh start in productive i industry, business enterprise and the v jSovelqpment of natural resources, ?nd, after a while, it will be able to pay the debt with comparative ease. Tho true policy, at the present ."time, is to drain the country as little - ?s possible, by taxation at least, until it shall have gained its an te-war pros? perity. All that the Government now xeally requires is enough money to -.pay .its current expenses and to meet .'.Ute interest payments on the debt. JSuropean Governments never trouble themselves about the principal of ttheir debts, being well satisfied if ttbey can j-uy fhe interest; and this Qieiog pronntl/ and regularly paid, "4he security holders are fully satisfied and content We should take them for financial models, and their policy, in its successful operation, shows -that there is no need for the course "which is being taken by our Con? cessional financiers. Ten, twenty or -thirty years hence the amounts of tthe present yearly tax could be raise d -without half the injury to all the business interests of the country that :it now entails. We should think it ?but : just'that posterity should pay at -least a portion of the debt, inasmuch r as posterity will receive a portion of .whatever beneficial results the conflict ?.may have produced. ^IMPORTANT DECISION.-A decision 'feas been recently given in New York, l?y Judge Hall, in reference to sus? pension of payment of commercial papor os a cause of bankruptcy, -.which may be important to our read? ers. It affirms, by the way, a deci? dion made by Judge Bryan, of this ~r District, rendered last June, in a ?Iiotly contested case in Charleston: ."The Court held that the second aground of the petition is sufficient to entitle tho petitioner to an adjudica rtion. There is some doubt about the ?soustraction of the clause which au? thorizes proceedings ad invitum against any person, 'who, being a ?banker, merchant or trader, has fraud? ulently stopped and suspended pay? ement, and not resumed payment of ibis commercial paper within a period ?ot fourteen days.' -*?lt is claimed by Bomo that pro -soodiugs cannot bo taken nuder the .?lause unless the original stoppage or -suspension of payment is shown to ?a#e .been fraudulent The Court fcowever, agreed with the Unitecr States'District Court of South Caro Jiaa in thinking that this clauso con? templates two oases-tho one of an -original fraudulent stoppage of pay? ment, in which proceedings may bo instituted at once, and tho other of a ?asponsion of payment not fraudu? lent, and not per se au act of bank? ruptcy, but which, if continued for more thau fourteen days, becomes an act of bankruptcy by its continu? ance. ."Tho presumption is that a mer -suant of fuir character, who ia solvent ?x&A deserving of credit, can, by means of temporary loan or other -ariso, pr?vido for resuming payment -of his commercial paper within tho fourteen days." The report of a Congressional In? vestigating Committee states that tho .loss to tho Government from the non ? collection of tho tax on whiskey for Hie last twelvo months is upwards of $100,000,000, while los? on tobacco is eel down at ?25,000,000. Theso losses, it is alleged, are owing to corruption and mismanagement of revenuo col? lectors. ^PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

New York: D. Appletou & Co. This talented writer has brought forth another attractive work, and we feel justified in asserting, that to any person who has read a single one o? Louisa Mu Illbach's dramatic romances thc name of the author will assert the vivid interest of the book. All of her productions are more than entertain? ing-they arc valuable as careful stu? dies of history, minutely and appre? ciatively drawn. In the introduction to the present work, the authoress says: . .4 'I win tho battles, Josephine sins methe hearts.' These words of Na? poleon are the most beautiful epitaph of the Empress Josephiue, the much-loved, the much-regretted and tho much-slandered one. "Even while Napoleon won battles, while with lofty pride he placed his foot on tho neck of the conquered, took away from princes their crowns, and from nations their liberty-while Europe trembling bowed before him, and despite her admiration cursed him-while hatred heaved up the hearts of all nations against him even then none could refuse admira? tion to the tender, lovely woman who, with the gracious smile of goodness, walked at his side; none could refuse love to the wife of tho conqueror, whose countenance of brass received light and lustre from tho beautiful { eyes of Josephine, as Memuon's sta? tue from the rays of the sun." We aro indebted to Mr. J. J. McCarter for a copy of the above.
