TAXAfON OF U. S. STOCKS HELD BY NATIONAL BANKS.

corporation;” it is so defined by the Act of Congress
of June 3,1864 (Ch. 106, p. 101 , sec. 8); and taking the two
acts together, Congress has thus plainly declared that the
government stocks which such National banks may hold shall
be exempt from State taxation.
This exemption was declared by Congress for reasons which
seemed to it weighty.
Whether or not the exemption was
wise, is a question we are not at present discussing. The
Federal Government was seeking to borrow money in vast
amounts.
This very Act of February 25, 1862, provided for
such borrowing; and the exemption from State tax was held
out as an inducement to capitalists to make the loans, and as
a means of
perpetually keeping up the credit and value of
government securities. The exemption from a State tax, of
froiri^oHe to three per cent per annum on the amount loaned,
was a bonus to the lenders; and under its influence the banks
of this city promptly came forward and made the first ad.
vance, and thus started the government with means to carry
on the war.
No class, of persons came to the help of the
government sooner, and stood by it more firmly, than the
banks and capitalists who accepted the terms thus proffered,
and advanced their money on the faith of the National Word

decided that the exemption should be allowed

depriving the National Banks of the exemption; namely, by
directing that the capital of every such Bank be assessed to

the place where the bank is situated, and be collected through
the bank by seizing the dividends of the stockholders. The
inventors vainly supposed that learned courts, accustomed to
exercise scrutiny, could not see that the capital, being ex>

party in interest, be it the Bank as an Association or Corporation, or its stockholders as individuals. If a million of

recognized and sustained by the Supreme Court of the United
States, at the December Term of 1862, in the cases in 2
Black’s Report’s above cited. It is also to be remarked, as
particularly decisive of the point now ur\der consideration,
that one of the causes then decided, that $f the Bank of the
Commonwealth, (p. 635, note) arose in 1861, before the law
of February 25, 1862, was passed, and when there was no
Act of Congress declaring an exemption.
(See 2 Black,
635 note, and 23 N. Y. 192.)
The highest court of the
nation, to which the pronouncing of constitutional law is
absolutely committed, has thus established the right of banks
to such an exemption, although no act of Congress may have
conferred it:—being exactly the reverse of the State Comptrollers second proposition.
It being thus clear that Congress has declared the exemption of United States stocks in favor of National Banks as well
as all others, and also that without any Act of Congress for that

This effort to defeat, through Legislative manipulation in
1865, a clear right, purchased by the banks and securred to
them on the fundamental laws of the Union, must end like
the similar attempt made by the Act of 1863.
The State Act of 1865 bears on its face enough to condemn it in any legal tribunal, as being designed to obstruct ,
and hinder the National Government in what it considers to
be its necessary and proper legislation. The Act imposes
taxes on National Banks, for the capital invested in United
States stocks, and leaves all the State Banks free from taxes
on such investments. Such discrimination against National
Banks, not only is a violation of the very terms of the Act
of Congress, which limits the right to tax National Banks to
the same rate *as State Banks, but it is as rude a breach of
the rights of the United States Government, as would be a
fine imposed on a citizen for accepting a federal office or working for the federal government. Congress establishes a National Bank system, to regulate commerce, to supply a paper
currency, and to absorb, carry and hold the National debt;
and the State Legislature resists it by the penalty of taxation,

despite, however, of these diversions of the Treasury,
which necessity impels it to make, the great currents* of
.capital continue from time to time to assert their sway.
Previous to 1857 a steady flow of loanable capital occurred
.towards this country from Europe. The calamities of that
year, however, terminated it, and if the official tables of im¬
ports and exports are to be trusted, the flow has never
yet fully returned.

LIABILITIES AND RESOURCES OF THE TREASURY.
There
be little doubt that the late
Secretary of the
Treasury under-estimated the probable wants of the Treasury,
when he asked Congress for an appropriation of $600,000,000
to meet the disbursements up to December next.
Already
over $550,000,000 of that amount is exhausted,
leaving less
than $50,000,000 of the seven-thirty notes to be yet sold, as
the sole loan resources of the Treasury until Congress again
'assembles,—a period of five months. It thus becomes a very
important question how will the demands upon the Treasury,
during the long interim, be provided for ? The data for esti¬
mating the probable expenses of the government during the
next five months is very uncertain; but it is
practicable,
nevertheless, toLmake an approximate calculation. The only
branches of the public service in which any important reduc¬
tions of expenditure may be anticipated, are' the War and
Navy Departments. With these exceptions, the disburse¬
ments of the government
may be expected to continue to the
can
close of the year at about the rate of the last fiscal year; and
even in these
departments an immediate material reduction
is not to
be deemed
probable. In respect to the larger ex¬
penditures of the Navy and War Offices, the government
takes a credit averaging
fully four months, so that, up to the
middle of August, the accounts of both branches must be
estimated upon the highest war
scale; and, indeed, as there
was no material

change
service until the middle of
May, beyond the cessation of the
waste connected with actual
fighting, it would not appear
warrantable to reckon upon
any important reduction in their
actual expenditures until after that date.
It would therefore
seem that,
until the middle of September, the demands upon
the
Treasury must be estimated at but little below the rate
during the most costly periods of the war. From
that period until
Congress is able to authorize the raising of
further means, it may,
perhaps, be a fair estimate to reckon

must be added about
of the
Treasury, for the
months, in round numbers, $250,000,000; which
is $250,000,000 below the probable expenditures.
To meet this probable deficiency of $250,000,000, the Sec1
retary of the Treasury has the sole resource of issuing Cer¬
tificates of'Indebteduess.
Either a large amount of claims
upon the Treasury must be allowed to stand over until new*
appropriations have been made by Congress, or the larger
creditors of the government must accept payment in this class
of securities.
Neither course is so desirable as prompt cash
payments ; but necessity fixes the choice between these alter¬
natives; and all parties will prefer the issue of Certificates.
It is quite likely, therefore, that by the middle of December,
if this plan is pursued, the amount of Certificates of Indebt¬
resources
next five
edness
outstanding will reach $300,000,000.
Secretary, however,, has authority, under the Act
of March 3, 1865, to convert, at the option of the holder,
any Treasury notes, or other obligations bearing interest ”
into Seven-thirty notes, or any other class of bonds authoris¬
ed under the $600,000,000 loan Act.
Should he avail him¬
self of this authority, by converting the maturing Certificates
of Indebtedness into Seven-thirties, or into gold interest bonds,
he might thereby avoid the issue of Certificates of Indebted¬
ness to a
very large amount.
Such, then, being the wants of the government, and such
its resources, the question arises is it not advisable that
an Extra Session of
Congress should be called to authorize a
new loan ?
At present the public are disposed to lend liber¬
ally to the government; there is, however, no certainty as to
how long this disposition will continue.
The prevailing dull¬
ness of trade throws
upon the market a large amount of un¬
employed capital, which naturally seeks investment in national
securities.
Can we be certain that next year the
recupera¬
tion of commerce will not place these idle means in
trading
and industrial enterprises, leaving much less money
at the
disposal of the government ?
Is it not, therefore, important to borrow as much as
possible.now, while the public are so willing to lend ? There
may he political considerations which make the President in¬
disposed to summon Congress before the regular period ; but,
to us, it
appears that financial prudence would dictate the
calling of an Extra Session.

of these stray bits of freedom, sandwiched as it were between

was that they built the foundation for all that critical and

anxiety is fej •, among the larger holders and dealers, to know
what measufis the Secretary of the Treasury will adopt for
meeting thefinevitably large expenditures from the present
time until till meeting of Congress,—a period of five months.
The only borrowing resource left is about $30,000,000 of the
third series of the seven-thirty Treasury Notes, which added
to the income from internal revenue, from customs and mis¬
cellaneous sources may produce an aggregate of perhaps
$225,000,000 of receipts for the five months. As this will
probably not more than half equal the expenditures, the ques¬

be almost said that other branches of trade are lost sight of.
Early in the week the movement was very strong, and prices were
tending to a further advance. But the increased receipts of Cot¬
ton at the ports, and at this port, together with the partial failure
of the speculation for a rise in gold, dampened the ardor of pur¬
chasers, and the close is rather still. The receipts of cotton at this
market thus far for July are about forty thousand bales.
Standard Sheetings have been a little mismanaged, and the
market for them weakened in consequence. Last week a leading
brand was held at 35c.j but as this price could not be realized—
favorite marks being sold at 34c—the advanced price was abandoned,
and the goods were rather urged at 34c., when buyers withdrew, and
now only purchases were to supply immediate wants.
This day
there were sales made by speculative holders at 33c.
In Prints and Printing Cloths much excitement has prevailed.
Standard 64 x 64 cloths have sold at 25 cts. on the spot, a price
that carries up the cost of first-class madder prints to about the cur¬
rent selling prices, and necessitating a further advance if a profit is

THE
July 22,1805.]
considerable increase of buiness over last
week, but cannot be called active as yet. Prices in most cases are
slightly hardening. Unfavorable reports from the silk crops have
stimulated those goods, and enabled retailers to get better prices, and
to sell more freely.
Linens and some fine heavy cotton fabrics are
in considerable stock, and are rather pressed for sale. Broadcloths
and other woolens for men’s wear are in small stock, but it is very
difficult to realize a profit upon them, owing to the competition of
domestic goods. Very fine well finished and light weight goods are
doing better. The importation, of which so much has been said, as
threatening to be unprecedentedly heavy, is still on a moderate scale.
The latest advices from the English manufacturing towns repre¬
sent trade as being much depressed, through the reaction that had
set in from the recent speculative excitement.
A considerable fall
in prices of staple goods was anticipated. ,
The importation of dry goods at this port for the week ending
July 19, 1865, and the corresponding weeks of 1863 and 1864, have

loans on shipping 12 per cent was granted, “but
except in such “ perilous ” business no higher rate than 8 per
cent was permitted ( Gibbon's Hist. Dec. dc Fall, chap,
xliv.)
These rates can, however, be no possible indication of the
true value of loans of money at that time, and could
only
have been enacted by the crafty and unscrupulous emperor,
in order that he might take advantage of them for his own
benefit. Rome had long since been reduced by repeated in¬
vasions from the North, and the reign of Justinian, a Byzan¬
tine emperor of vulgar origin, was filled with wars, conducted
by his general, the able Belisarius. It is only relieved by one
white mark—the great code of civil law called the Pandects,
framed by Tribonian and other lawyers, which now passes
by the emperor’s name, and which ^contains the law of in¬
ter ‘ t just quoted.
Nevertheless, this law appears to have remained unim¬
paired until the Christian Church began to assume temporal
power, when, in a. d. 800, during the reign of Charlemagne,
Emperor of the West, the taking of interest was entirely for¬
bidden by the canon law. {Macpherson's History of Com¬
merce, i. 250.)
The same influence next extending to the
Eastern Empire, the Basilics, a partial and mutilated version
of the Pandects were published by the Emperor Constantine
Porphyrogenitus, and contained a similar prohibition. This
was about a. d. 950.
(History Decline and Fall, chap, liv.)
Next, at a great council held at Westminster on the 8th or
9th September, 1126, for the purpose of
regulating the disci¬
pline of the Church and the lives of the priesthood, all clergy¬

et
(History of Commerce, i.
From this time to the year 1197 there is no
reason
p.
318.)
to doubt
that the
taking of interest was interdicted by law, but in that
year, again through the influence of the Church, Christians
were forbidden to take interest.
This was in the reign of
Richard I., Of course, this threw the entire business into the
hands of the Jews, and this
monopoly partly laid the founda¬
tion of that extraordinary wealth which
they subsequently
possessed; though often and dear were the penalties they
were made to
pay for the privilege thus conferred upon them
unasked.

The reluctance of the
early Christians to take interest, aris¬
ing partly from ignorance of the true nature of capital and
partly frqm canonical prohibitions, seems to have thrown the
business
\|f money lending into the hands
of the “Jews in
England. “ The Jews,” says Mr.
Hallam (Middle Ages, ii, p. 400), u were noted for

therefor, sealed with the convent seal. Subsequently, Bene¬
dict had to go to law for the
recovery of his loan, and it

In
enacted in 1197.
After the death of
Henry II. the ;i Jews fell into disfavor,
subject of frequent persecutions under
King John. In the succeeding reign of Henry III. open war
was declared
against them, and in a. d. 1253 seven hundred
of them were slain in London
{Stow's Survey of London, p.
106), An immediate rise in the rate of interest occurred.
Hume says it was 50 per cent.
{History of Eng., chap, xii),
and

and Mathew Paris asserts that at the
same
period the debtor
paid 10
per cent, every two months.
In the year 1248 the rate of 43 1-3
per cent, was given for
a loan of
money, as is evidenced by a close-roll of that pe¬
riod. In the year 1272 a bond
granted Bonami, a Jew of
York, by Sir Hugo de Nevill, a Lincolnshire knight, bore
precisely the same rate of interest. As by ordering that all
Jews who lent money on interest should first
procure a royal
license to do so, and from the evidence adduced
by Mr. Bond
{Archceologia xxvii. 225) and the author of Anglia Judaica,
there is reason to believe that the
English monarchs partici¬
pated in the gains derived by the Jews from this business—
a
portion, perhaps a large portion, of this 43 1-3 per cent,
went to the
crown, while another large portion served to
cover the risk or
insurance, so that it is impossible to ascer¬
tain what portion of it
represented the actual value of loan¬
able money.
Taking the St. Edmundsbury transaction for a
guide, it was probably not much over 15 per cent. All this
time the rate of interest in the
Republic of Venice was but
4 per cent.
{Macpherson's Hist. Com., i. 341), though in
the instance given the loan was a forced
one, and was proba¬
bly below the rate current in the Rialto. This was in a. d.
1171.
In Flanders, a. d. 1201, it was from 20 to 30
per
cent. {Robertson's View of State,
of Europe, note xxx). In
Verona, a. d. 1228, it was 12 1-2 percent. {Mid. Ages, ii,400),
though as this was the legal rate it affords us na definite in¬
dication of the state of the market. In Aragon, *a. d.
1270,
the legal rate was 18 per cent.
( View of State, dec., note xxx).
In Modena, a. d. 1270, the legal rate was 20
per cent. {Mid.
Ages, ii, 400). Taking a general view of the state of mari¬
time Europe up to the persecution of the Jewish
money
lenders by Henry III. of England, a. d. 1272, it wonld seem
that the rate of interest for mercantile
transactions, varied
from 4 to 8 per cent in
England, and probably not much
over
that in France.

special correspondent of the
one
of the most inaccessible
spots in the country at this
time, aud is about the territorial centre of the Confederacy as it
stood for a year back.
The following will give an idea of the ways
and means of travel in Georgia and Alabama.
Approaching from
the North, via Nashville, the railroad is running without
interrup¬
tion to the bridge at the Chattahoochee, twenty miles north of At¬
lanta. The bridge, it is said, will be finished next week. The lat¬
ter city was coDspicious as one of the great railroad
centres, where
the great lines runuing north and south and east and west inter¬
sected, and is now only a mass of ruins.
Its extensive depots and
shops are burned, and the wrecks of locomotives, car-wheels, and
other stock, strew the ground. From Atlanta to Augusta the road
is now open, and the distance, one hundred aDd
seventy five miles,
is made in sixteen or eighteen hours.
Westward, the road is open
to West Point, where the
bridge is destroyed across the Chattahoo
chee, and the crossing is made in flats. The road is then open, but
running with very delapidated and scant means to Chehaw, fortyfive miles, leaving forty-five more miles to be made
by wagon to
^lontgomery. This little branch of railroad between West Point
and Montgomery is about the worst and most
pestiferous in the
South. It is of a different guage from the connecting roads, and
of
strap rails. The Confederate military authorities tyed to re lay it
of the same
guage, but, by some unknown influence, were ineffectu¬
al. At the. present time, although
running but one engine and a
couple of flat cars, they charge ten cents per mile, which they do
perhaps lawfully, but refuse to take greenbacks, except at fifty cents
per dollar, which brings them clearly within the province of military
interference.
At Columbus the bridges across the river are also
burned. The road between here aud Macon is also torn
up ; two or
three weeks, will be
necessary to repair it. Columbus is at the head
of the navigable waters of the
Chattahoochee, whence boats of light
draft can run during most of the
year to Apalachicola in Florida.
At present there is but little for boats to do.
At Eufala, a hund
red miles below he1*e, the railroad is
nearly opened to Macon, which

Companies....
The above table exhibits the three important phases of scrip
distribution—the amount outstanding at the end of the fiscal year
1864, the amount declared to policy holders during 1864, and the
point to which scrip issues must accumulate before any redemption
thereof. The total amount of scrip issued by the companies above
named is $11,043,954.' This large sum, though allotted to indivi¬
duals, and yielding interest, is not altogether lost to the companies ;
but until redeemed, is liable to be recalled, in case other assets are
not sufficient to meeet the losses of the companies respectively.
The chances for such a fecall, however, are of minimum probability,
and no instance of such is on record. The interest allowed is pay¬
able in cash, and is usually 6 per cent per annum, though in one or
two instances the rate is 7 per cent,, the Mutual of Buffalo and the
Washington of New York allowing the latter rate. The certificates
are transferable, and are largely dealt in, their value depending not
only on the individual character of the Company issuing, but also
on the probable length
of time to elapse before redemption, the
oldest issuelalways taking precedence. The Atlantic Mutual has
now upwards of $3,000,000 liable to instant redemption, the amount
outstanding'being so much in exeess of the limit of accumulation
b fore redemption.
Viewing this matter of scrip of so much im¬
portance to a large section of the business community, it is our
purpose hereafter to furnish regularly, as in the case of stocks and
bonds, a table descriptive of each series, and the value thereof in
the market,;/ Such a table will take some considerable time to com¬
plete, but |^ill probably appear in our next or the succeeding
