FINANCIAL BUSINESS IN CONGRESS.

Among the numerous topics of financial interest in the
Congressional proceedings of the past week there are two or
three which stand prominently forward and challenge the
public attention. And chief of all in importance is the Loan
Bill. This act was passed by the Senate in the form in
which it came from the House, and received on Thursday the
signature of the President. In two points of view it is the
most noteworthy law that has emanated from Congress since
the outbreak ot the war.
For first it affirms the principle of
publicity; and requires that all negotiations made by virtue
of the powers entrusted to the Secretary of the Treasury,
shall he reported to Congress at the next session : and, sec¬
ondly, it claims for Congress the power which is obviously
conferred on it by the Constitution, section 8, paragraph 5,
to regulate the value of the circulating moneyof the country.




to he entrusted to any ex¬

his ability and integrity
may be. Accordingly the new law prescribes certain limits
to the exercise of the functions of contracting the currency,
and gives specific directions to the Secretary of the Treasury
by which he is required to guide his operations.
One ©f the objections urged against the hills, for which the
measure before us has been substituted, was that they con¬
ferred too much power on the Executive, and detracted from
the just prerogatives of the legislative branch of the Govern¬
ment.
These objections were urged in many quarters; and,
as we have said, the attempt
has been made with some sucress to meet and to remove them.
That the problem is
completely solved of keeping up, in this direction, the equili¬
brium and harmony of our governmental institutions, few
persons, we presume, will he hold enough to affirm.
But
the country will cheerfully accept the present measure as an
effort in the right direction, an instalment of what is hereafter
to he more completely and maturely realized.
And, mean¬
while, we are fortunate in having at the head of the Treasury
Department a man in whose capacity, integrity, and ex¬
perience general confidence is expressed. Moreover very
little positive use is absolutely necessary to be made of the
funding power prior to the next meeting of Congress, as no
serious amount of our national obligations falls due for more
than

year to come.
The friends of a sound currency will, however,

principle. Mr. McCulloch’s celebrated Fort
Wayne speech had previously enunciated it, and all the pro¬
ceedings of Congress during the present session have been
in conformity with it.
We are glad, therefore, to notice
that in the new loan hill this policy of not increasing the
currency has obtained an implicit recognition, and that the
advocates of inflation have failed to obtain any practical ad¬
vantage in their efforts to impair the hold which this policy
has obtained in Congress and throughout the country.
Another illustration of this point is found in the reception
by the Senate of Mr. Sherman’s proposition, last Monday,
relative3 to the increase of the National Bank Currency. It
will he remembered that complaints have been made that

equitable share of national banks and bank notes. If
any inequitable distribution has been made, it has been done
without the authority of the law, and the surplus notes so
issued should be withdrawn that they may be distributed
where they are wanted. Mr. Sherman’s resolution on this
subject will be found elsewhere. It has been referred to the
Finance Committee of the Senate and will no doubt elicit
considerable discussion and may finally result in the applica¬
tion of the proper remedy.
The only remaining Congressional topic which we have
space to notice is the question of taxation, which was yester¬
day referred to in the House by Mr. Morrill. It is much to be
regretted that questions of such vast moment should have
been so long deferred.
At a late period of the session, espe¬
cially when cholera is supposed to be approaching, we much
fear that, as has happened informer sessions, the tax measures
will be pushed through their several stfgps and will become
laws, without that thorough preliminary exhaustive examina¬
tion both by individual members and by tne public, which
is one of the best safeguards against mischievous tax legis¬
lation.
Next week it is supposed the country will know
more definitely than at present the precise nature of the chief

capital sought investment in the United
States than at any other period; and soon after the outbreak
of hostilities in the Southern States, large amounts of capi
tal were sent to Europe for supposed safer employment, facts
showing the tendency of capital to seek foreign investments
pending a condition of war. Should the occurring of war
between Austria and Prussia call forth this usual tendency,
the capitalists of Germany seeking a sound and stable se¬
curity into which they may change their investment have at
hand just what they desire, in the Five-twenty bonds.
Hith¬
erto, they have shown a remarkable confidence in our se¬
curities.
They have taken them in preference to the bonds
of their own governments; which, even in times of peace,
have been driven to negotiate their loans in London or Paris.
It would be difficult to conceive why, in the prospect of a de¬
structive war, they should sell our. securities to invest in
those of their own governments.
It is true that, in time of
war, there is always a el ass whose financial judgment is in¬
fluenced by their political zeal; and it is quite probable that
some German capitalists may be induced even to sell out
Five twenties and take up national securities; nor is it im¬
possible that some bankers, from motives of loyalty or po¬
litical advantage, may use their influence to induce others to
take that course.

but not more.
Rather than tax her citizens beyond onefourth of one percent, her creditors must go unpaid, and her
own financial honor suffer the reproach of bad faith.
The practical question for creditors to determine is whether
they will accept this scheme of compromise, in lieu of the
satisfaction of their claims according to the present contract?
The question which naturally arises as preliminary to de¬
ciding this, is—what will the State do if they do not accept
it?
We certainly cannot lightly come to a conclusion so
dishonorable to the State, as to assume that she will do noth¬
ing. Let the creditors decide not to accept the half loaf
offered by the State, and she will be compelled to respond in
good faith to their claims ; or take the alternative of making
her credit and good name a hissing and a reproach.
She has

It would be easy to show to a reasonable moral

scheme would absorb the whole loan long before any of the

(present) obligations that ten, or eighteen,
twenty-six years hence, he will make them good ? How

greater demoralization of a nice sense of honor in the
discharge of financial obligations would be required on the
part of a party who now thinks it consistent with honor to
offer his creditor three per cent.in discharge of his contract

much

six; to conclude it not inconsistent with honorable
obligation bye-and-bye to refuse to respond to a contract to
pay eight and nine per cent, if it should happen to pinch ?
In short, if the State of Missouri now repudiates her contract
with creditors to pay six per cent., what assurance have they
that she will bye-and-bye respond to her contract to pay
eight or nine per cent? f No, no ; this will not quite do! This
is not quite the material of which financial honor is made.
It don’t quite come up to the professions of the Governor and
General Assembly of their “ fixed and unalterable purpose
that the faith of the State shall be preserved with all her
creditors to the fullest extent.”
If the ability of the State to meet in full its financial ob¬
ligations was at all in doubt, the creditors would doubtless
be ready to consider terms of compromise.
But the Leg¬
islative Committee from which this scheme so disgraceful to
the State originated, dispose of this subject by showing that
a tax of one fourth of one per cent only, will discharge the
entire debt, principal and interest, during the proposed term
of thirty years.
In addition to this the Committee expresses
its entire confidence that the railroads themselves will ulti¬
mately pay principal and interest of the larger part of the
whole debt, and quite possibly the whole of it. The plea
that the necessities of her condition make repudiation of the

greatly esteemed as objects of investment. This high credit was
well fouuded—the great wealth and resources of the Commonwealth
and the honorable course the State had always presen ed towards its
creditors, warranting the esteem in which it was held. The greater
portion of its debt, however, has always been owned by the people of
the State themselves, and not more than five per cent of the whole by
capitalists beyond the limits of the Union.
That the State yet enjoys a high credit is equally well ascertained,
The quotations at New York are higher than might have been ex¬
pected after a suspension of interest for four or five years. Its coupon
bonds now sell for 67@6S in our market, which is a sure criterion that

State of the most valuable of its

accumulated

resources.

The stocks

security for its investments in railroads, banks and
other economical institutions have become
unproductive and in part
worthless; and hence, for the present, the whole burden of the State
debt falls upon the
people. To pay the iuterest on the debt and con
tribution'to the sinking fund will require at least $2,500,000 a
year,
which, in the present condition of the peop’e of the State, is a large sum
to collect from them ; while, at the same time,
they must maintain from
taxation all the appointments necessary to keep
up the State organiza¬
tion. The annual amount of taxes, previous to the war, was about
$8,250,000, and the whole expenses of the State a million more. Five mil¬
lions will be required now, without the aid of investments or the tax on
negroes. Of the determination of the people to do their best to main,
tain the financial honor of the State, however there cau be no
question.
The debt consists of two portions, the old debt or that which existed,
on the 1st
January, 1852, and the new debt or that which has been con¬
as

tracted since that date.

The Constitution of 1851,

and the act to create

Sinking Fund, provides that an amount equal to seven per cent, shall
be annually set apart upon the old debt, which amounted then to
$11,971,88S, requiring the sum of $838,028 -68 as the basis. The Constitu¬
tion also provides that whenever after January 1, 1852, a debt shall be
contracted by the commonwealth there shall be set
apart in like man
ner, annually, for thirty four years, a sum exceeding by one per cent,
the aggregate amount of the annual interest
agreed to be paid thereon
at the time of its contraction.
The additional one :per cent.,
by succes¬
sive investment, would retire the debt in the
thirty-four years, the time
a

that all the

new

debt has to

run.

On the 1st October, 1860, the old debt had been reduced to

subject at the recent session of the Legisla¬
ture has resulted in the
passage of a funding law which is now in ope¬
ration. This law provides that the holders of
registered bonds of the
commonwealth issued before April 17, 1861, may invest the interest
due upon said bonds in registered bonds of the State,
beering the same
rate of interest as the
principal, and payable in ten or thirty years as
the holder may elect. The holders of the
coupon bonds of the State,
issued prior to the above date may
invest the interest due in either cou¬
pon or registered bonds, to bear interest at the same rate as the princi¬
pal. All fractional sums of interest due on the above bonds which can¬
not be invested as above, are to be
provided for in the form of certifi¬
cates payable in two, three, or four
years with interest. The interest on
the bonds

gf the restored government issued since the creation of West
Virginia, may be invested up to January, 1867, in State bonds, co pon
or registered at
option. The Sinking Fund is preserved so that the

The Northumberland could not get off the ways when an attempt was
made to launch her a few days ago. It is said that she is the best of
her class, although the English journals write in sharp criticism of the
details of the whole. The Times, for instance, says :
It is very much to be wished that among the other reforms which these iron¬
clads seem to be introducing, the admiralty would adopt the French system of
fastening on the plates with what are termed wood screws instead of through
bolts. The latter weaken the plate very considerably and do not hold it on at
all, whereas the trials made with the French system of fastening at Shoebury
showed it to be so superior to ours as to be literally above any degree of com¬

plated deck-tower is unusually high in the Northumberland, and
is divided into two stories, the lower to be occupied in action by riflemen
only, while the upper story is to be used by those in command of the
ship, and from which also the vessel can be steered in action. „
The draught of water of the largest iron-clads is as follows ; Achilles

fastest ship under steam in the British navy.

also devoted to that purpose.

The miscellaneous list has shown considerable speculative activity.

Coal stocks are more active in consequence of the large increase in
the coal trade, resulting from the suspension of the Nova Scotia

supply, and the additional demand for the purpose of steam naviga¬
tion. Prices of coal shares have advanced in consequence. Quick¬
silver has ranged at 3@5 per cent above the prices of last week,
owing to the scarcity of quicksilver in Europe, and an advance of
10c per pound in the price of the metal at Sau Francisco. Canton
Co. has been speculated in quite freely, upon a report of the pros¬
pect of sales of land to the Government which would be highly ad¬
vantageous to the company; on Thursday the price touched 57,
but has since reacted.
Mariposa has improved from the cause®
which.have affected quicksilver.
Compared with la3t week, quicksilver is 9^ higher; Canton 5;
Mariposa 1$, and Mariposa preferred 3$.

sympathised with the
probabilities of a return of Five twenties from Europe, this consid¬
eration having checked a strong disposition to speculate on the ex¬
pectation that gold would fall to near 120 on the payment of the
May interest on Five-twenties. There is now little disposition to
speculate either for a rise or a fall; the best indication of the nor¬
mal condition of the market being in the fact that loans are now
made generally at 6 per cent interest. Early in the week 1-32@1-16
per cent per day was paid on borrowed gold. The price has fluctu¬

active and somewhat unsettled, but hog
products have latterly shown more firmness. The warlike news from
Europe have revived hopes of a continued export demand, at the rela¬
tively high prices. The late steamer have brought liberal export orders
for bacon, which the improvement in exchange and very low rates of
freight have permitted to be executed, and some 3,000 boxes were s^ld

sumption and coastwise shipment has materially declined ; the export
demand was therefore freely met, and led to but a slight recovery in
the previous decline of prices. Beef is arriving fn large quantities, and
stocks are increasing. Butter and cheese are still in very light stock,
and the extreme prices current are supported.
