THE PUBLIC FINANCES.
A friend of ours recently asked us,
in a private conversation, why tho U.
S.. Bonds were ever issued ? As this
is a question in which the public are
more or less interested, we will try to
answer it. Indeed, all tho questions
bearing upon the finances of tho coun
try, -whether they relate to the tariff,
TJ. S. Bonds, National Currency, green
backs, or taxation in its myriad forms,
ought to interest every man, woman
and child of the land ; because, in a
correct solutipn of them, we are all
more or less concerned.
When tho war commenced, and for
some six months subsequently, the
Government paid those to whom it be
came indebted in gold. The soldiers
who first enlisted were paid offin gold;
and all the supplies were purchased
with gold and silver. But after while
he gold became exhausted ; and the
Government issued what were termed
"deraaud notes.' These notes gener
ally passed at par, or nearly so, and
before they -were finally retired they
-actually commanded a small premium.
J5ut, as the war progressed, the Gov
ernment got tired of these "demand
notes," and issued what is called "le
gal tenders," or "greenbacks and
Congress passed a law requiring that
these legal tenders should be received
in the payment of the ordinary debt
of the country; that whenever a man
was indebted his tender of these legal
tenders should be a complete acquit
tance. The courts of the country
sustained the power of Congress to
do this thing, and they decided that
it was legal to thus discharge the in
debtedness of the country, even though
an obligation had been given payable
in gold. At that time Mr. Chase was
Secretary of the Treasury. After
some hundreds of millions of green
backs had been issued he became
alarmed, and announced that ' there
was too much currency in the country,
and some scheme must be adopted by
,wljlcli ft coitld be curtailed.
He finally made a proposition that
-the Government should issue bonds ;
and this wa3 accepted by Congress.
Soon the 5-20's, 7-30's and lO-lO's were
thrown upon the market and were
sold. The capitalists who bought
these bonds did not pay gold and sil
ver for them, as some might suppose ;
but thev took greenbacks which on
an ,averagp cost them about 40 cents
pn the dollarand bought these bonds
with them. The Government then
took the greenbacks and paid off the
soldiers and liquidated other expenses
of the Government with these green
backs. It was in this wav, as we un
derstand it, that the TJ. S, Bonds were
issued,
"We never could see why it was that
Chase, and a Mongrel Congress, were
not content to issue greenbacks as
they were needed which bore no in
terestinstead of resorting to bonds,
which bore from six to eight per cent,
interest, and even more, according to
jthe price of gold. They told us that,
.if we continued to issue greenbacks,
.the .yolame of currency would be so
.great that the country would be ruin
ed. ; Their argument amounted simply
to this : That if the Government owed
two billions of greenbacks, drawing
no interest, it would be bankrupt ; but
jf it owed that amount in bonds, draw'
ing six or eight per cent, gold-interest,
the country would get along swim
mingly and all would be well. We
have seen people humbugged, but we
never before knew a great and intelli
gent nation so completely bamboozled
as in this instance.
The truth is, at the time this system
of issuing bouds wag inaugurated, the
people were go .occupied in viewing
the-marehicg and countermarching of
armies, and the fuss, and feathers, and
tinselry of grim-visaged wary that
they had no-timey nor no desire to ex
amine this 'question of finance as they
.would have done under different xsir-
cumstances. And besides, if any wri
ter, or speaker, dared to discuss it and
place it in its true light before the
people, he was almost sure to be seized
by some tool of Stanton and incarcer
ated in some of the numerous bastiles
of the land. 1 - : ;
We have seen that TJ. S. Bonds
.were-bought, by bondholders, with
.greenbacks at par, -which - cost--them
,on an average forty cents on the dol
dar. " We h:ive shown, in former nura
bers, that the actual federal .indebted
ness is over $3,000,000,000. The Mon
grels ol aim that this debt must bo
paid ; and that it must be paid in gold.
Tho readers of tho Democrat know
that wo think it is very doubtful
whether this debt can ever bo paid ;
but we aro not in favor of repudiation.
Let us try awhile longer to pay the
debt. If, however, it ever is paid, it
will bo in greenbacks. It is barely
possible to cancel it in this way. If
tho national debt remains in its pres
ent form that of bonds, held by tho
few, drawing usurious interest in gold
and exempt from taxation wo shall
every fifteen years pay a sum for in
terest alone that is equal to the prin
cipal, and yet not one dollar of the
latter will bo paid. If wo cause tho
debt to assume the form of greenbacks,
held by the people, without interest,
it is possible to redeem every one of
them in fifteen years, with the money
we shall othcrwiso pay for interest on
the bonds.
We shall treat on this subject more
fully in future numbers.
Geo. II. Pendleton'. This gifted
orator and statesman of Ohio, thus re
fers to the inherent differences between
the white and black races: "They
belong to a different race. They have
diflerent blood and bones and organi
zation. They have different tastes,
habits and capacities. It is not mere
ly a difference of climate, or sun, or
birth, qr education, or color. It is an
inherent or radical difference pf race,
qf blood, of nature, of capacity, of in
tollectj which no training can efface,
no associations, qr habits, or discipline
can extinguish... CJotJ made them dif
ferent, man cannot make them the
same or equal. And all the observa
tions of our pxperience is that the
commingling of the blood of the white
and black races injures fyotb."
WmrriNO Ourselves. Mr. Thad.
Stevens, in a conversation with a cor
respondent of the New York Herald,
says that at the time of the proclama
tion of a blockade of all the rebel
ports, he looked upon it as a great
blunder and absurdity, for if the rebel
States were still in the Union, as the
Government and himself then held,
"we were blockading ourselves." Yes,
and so were fighting ourselves; burn
ing and devastating ourselves ; per
forming hari-kari upon ourselves ; ty
ing .ourselves to a whipping-post and
giving ourselves nine-and-thirty, well
laid on ; palling our noses and kicking
ourselves out pf prosperity and free
dom, and finally, taxing ourselves with
a debt so enormous that our children
and pur children's children may wish
"oursei res" had never gone and done it.
Vermont Election. In times past,
says the Chatfield (Minn.) Democrat,
it has been the annual custom with
the black Republicans to blow terribly
over the "great victory in Vermont !"
There was an election held in that
State on the 3d ult., but we sec no
glorification headings in the "loyal"
prints over the result. Why? Be
cause the Democracy have so reduced
the "treraenduous majority" that they
are ashamed to open their heads.
When Radicalism begins to give way
before the light of Democracy in Ver
mont, where it is so dark, politically,
that the "blue-bellied" inhabitants go
to bed to save "tallow dips," we may
safely conclude that it will soon be day
break all round.
According to tables presented to the
Albany (N. Y.) Convention, it appears
that the total Mongrel vote in twenty-
three States last fall was 2,001,871.-
The Democratic vote was 1,644,308.-
The Mongrel majority was, therefore,
417,563. Half of these votes, or 208,-
787, would have changed the entire re.
suit of the election. That is t.o say,
that a change of less than six per cent
in the aggregate vote would have put
the Mongrels out of power. We
commend these figures to those who
suppose that that the North is wholly
and Jiopelessly Abolition, and that
there is no use of making any exertion
to save our country.
The President, in his campaign against
the radicals since the removal of Stanton,
has increased both their hatred and re
spect for him, They are mads to feel that
he is, at least a man of brains and energy.
His removal of Stanton was thought to be
a bold movement. When this was follow
ed by. the ejectment of Sheridan and
Sickles, the Jacobins thought the presi
dent was tho power to be feared rather
than despised. Then came the assump
tion that he and not Gen. Grant was
charged with the execution of the laws
and the victory over Grant. Thus, in a
few days the president has met and van
quisled Stanton, Sheridan, Sickle, Gran
and congrpss; the latter by a construct jon
of its laws.
We have a circulating medium o
$750,000,000, and the taxes paid to
the Federal and State Governments
are 8800,000,000 a year. There is not
money enough in the .country to pay
the taxes if they were all called for at
once, and yet the bondholders tell us
that the - currency, is too great in
amount already. " They seem to think
the people want money -for xxo other
purpose, than to pay taxes. , : '

secretaries of tho J reasury were "very

the outbreak of the war, when G or em or
Seward urged a call for 300,000 troops,
Mr Chase had jhe number cut down to
AftA . , c. . . ,

icais reprcsentea tjovcrnor o. as being t
"timid and "holding back.
Rut while Mr. Chase was affecting
economy, Jay Cooke, Governor Sprague,
and other friends of tho Secretary of the
Treasury, were making large fortunes,
upon the strength of which he is now
running for President, though in accept
ing the office of Chief Justice he virtu
ally withdrew from political life. He is
the first Chief Jutico of the Supreme
Court of the United States who has de-!
scended from the bench to canvass, man
age, huckster and higgle, with white and
black, from Charleston to Saratoga, for
himself as candidate for President.
The Mountain in Labor. The fires
of revolution ara scarce stamped out in
Crete ere the Sultan grants a general
bait llJTC
passed since "this cruel war was over,
and tho American President is still dis-
cusdng the terms perhaps tho policy, of
oblivion and amnesty even for the Greek
huibusters who incited Ins subjects to re
volt, and put in great jeopardy the integ
rity of his empire. Should our Republic
an ruler at length make up his mind to
brave the wrath of the Radical Jacobins
by granting amnesty, wo fear it will suf-
er in comparison with that of the absolute
Asiatic. Let the President dare to bo as
magnanimous and bold as the Sultan. An
amnesty that excludes the great men of a
defeated cause, the natural leaders of
people, is no amnesty. Ar. 'O. Picayune.
Truth Stranger than Fiction.
We often see things happening to persons

in re ii itic, mo iruin oi wnicn we wouiu
doubt if wo read them in the naes of
works of fiction. An instance of this
kind OCCurcd la tely in this place. A gen-
tleman, Mr Reid by name, has been em-
ploved in the office of the City Engineer
of Oakland, as a draughtsman, for some
time past. His course was marked by in
dustry, and his manner was quiet and
unassuming: he met with but little atten
tion from our people. A gentleman arriv
ed here last Saturday from Victoria (where
iur. ivem nas relatives living; ana lniorm
ed him that he had been hci to property
in England worth Jt45,000.To prove tho
truth of his assertion, he offered Mr. Reid
X500 as spending money. Mr. Reid
leaves here soon to take with him the best I
wishes of his friends, who have increased
rapidly in number and earnestness since
his good fortune has bepn annonneed.
