A NATIONAL DEBT A NATIONAL
BLESSING.
This phrase whose paternity is due lo
someone Whose views ot finance were
founded ou unsound principles, has been
unjustly applied by certain newspapers to
the suggestions put forth by Jay Cooke in his
recent pamphlet on the sufficiency of our
resources to meet our National obligations.
This is a perversion of Mr. Cooke’s views an«l
objects. His estimates are of course partly
hypothetical, being founded ou the probable
nature, but his leading computations and
conclusions are based ou facts derived from
official sources. The census returns which
record the increase of our wealth aud pop
ulatiou cannot decieve The annual reports
of the Commissioner of Patents, which
mark the course of invention and discovery
in the more useful arts, cannot be mere fic
tions. The Commissioner of Agriculture
who has stated the most surprising results.iu
this pursuit, of labor-saving machinery, by
which the pioductive power of the country
has been vastly augmented—could not have
been indebted to imagination tor his facts.
The true theory of Mr. Hand those
who are of the same opinion as himself, is
the rapid pi ogress of the United Stales iu
wealth and numbers, within one or two
decades gives assurance of the sufficiency of
our present resources to meet existing obli
gations, i. e., our current expenditure aud
the interest of the public debt— but that our
future. resources,iu all probability, will enable
us to discharge the ptincipal of the debt in
the year 1890.
These arc important conclusions. They
differ from the views entertained abroad of
the supposed capabilities of the people of
the United States to maintain during peace
a costly military establishment, aud pay the
interest of a heavy war debt, that it was
both expedient and patriotic that the facts
should be prOimvlged. "y*
THE STOCK OF COTTON
Estimates the widest apart have been made
of the last crop, vet to come to market.—
The extreme figures range between half a
million and some millions of bales. The
elements of calculation in ordinary times
have been extremely uncertain as regards
the cotton crop. The wide extent of coun
try to which the culture extended increased
the chances of false estimates, but the acci
dents to which the last crop has become
;liab)e from the casualties of war, have ren
dered all calculations on the subject unre
liable. The estimate we deem the nearest
approximation to the truth is that which
computes the stock at between one million
and one million and a half of bales, Eet us,
then, assume the stock tQ be one million and
a quarter of bales. As observed by the New
York Journal of Connneme, this quantity of
so valuable a staple oaifne made the basis of
a highly remunerative trade as soou as the
ports are opened.
If we suppose the price not to exceed
twenty-five cents per pound, au aggre
gate of 1,125,000 bales would produce fi
value of at least $1,250,000. This would be
one half the value ot the cotton exported to
foreign ports from the United States iu the
yiaj-IHOU.
nut to produce the desired results, there
should be no obstruction to the export. The
removal of the tax of twenty-five per cent,
is a step in the right direction. The subsist
ing tax of two cents per pound will be no
serious, if any, impediment, to the export.—
An export duty is, of course, out. of the
question, unless the Constitution is amended.

News from Haytl.
Pi'ogress of the Rebellion—Defeats of the. Insur
gents —Assassination of General Marristt
President Gefrard Able to Hold His Oton.
By the arrival qf the brig Startled Fawn,
Captain Bhaw\ yesterday, we are in receipt
of advices from the island of Hayti up to the
27th ult.
President Geffrard bad issued a proclama
tion on the 20th of May grafting complete
amnesty to the inhabitants of the northern
and north-western provinces, including all
officers aud men belonging to the military or
naval forces who may surrender to the legi
timate authorities, the members of the pie
tended provisional drawn up at
Cape Haitien on the 9th of May, being alone
excluded from the benefits of the amnesty.
Those sections which still continue in rebel
liousagainst the government are by the same
proclamation declared in a State of siege,
subject to martial law, and to be considered
as public enemies.
In another proclamation, dated May 27,
the President appeals earnestly to the people
and the military to use every effort to speedi
ly crush the rebellion.
Two columns of rebels had abandoned their
leaders and goue over to the ranks of Gen
eral Papailler, commanding the government
forces, their renewed allegiance being signi
fied by enthusiastic cheers for President fitef
lrard.
General Harriet, commanding a force of
loyal troops, in advancing to attack the town
of Plaisance, held by the rebels, was met by
a white flag and cheers for Geffrard; and in
terpreting these symptoms as the prelimina
ries to the submission of the insurgents, be
proceeded with a few men in advance of his
corps to receive the seeming flag of truce,
wiien the rebel parjy fired upon him killing
him instantly. Infuriated by this act of
treachery, the national forces charged upon
the rebels and speedily routed them with
great slaughter. The rebel leader, Salnare,
is suspected ot complicity in this foul murder.
Turin Salnare who wasfsome lime since con
demned to death by a court martial for the
crime of murder, had, iu connection yvith
General Francois Jean-Josepli, another rebel'
leader, seized the towns of Onanaminthe,
Fort Liberie aud Iron. President Geffrard
lias declared him outlawed.— JV. Y. Herald,
18 th.
, r- .
State '.War Debts.
The subject of the war debts of the several
Status is beginning to occupy the attention
of State officers and politicians, and there is
every likelihood of a vigorous agitation at
some future time in favor of their assumption
by the general government. The extent of
the aggregate indebtedness of States, coun
ties, towns and villages, incurred during the
war, is not yet fully knowj, but it is tar
larger than is generally supposed. An act
of Congress, approved July 17, 1861, pro
vided lor the payment by the general gov
ernment to the Governors of States, or their
authorized agents, of all the expenses at
tending the enrollment, enlistment, clothing,
arming, paying aud transportation of troops
intended to take part in the war. Some of
these local claims have been wholly or par
tially settled, but the majority hfive yet to be
adjttotßdand liquidated... .Nevertheless, a far
larger amount of expenses incurred by States
in the form of bounties, relief money, and
such like, will not be reimbursed to them by
the government, aud hence the’Stale debts
will be largely and permanently augmented,
and a corresponding increase of local taxa
tion will be the result, which will occasion
more or less dissatisfaction, favorable to the
political agitation referred #>. Already the
seven per cent, revenue bonds of this State
are two or three per cent, below par. The
issue of these commenced but recently, in
accordance with section 2, chapter 56, of the
laws of 1865, the same being limited to thirty
millions. The language of the act is: “For
the purpose of raising the money required
for said bounties without delay, the Comp
troller is authorized to issue bonds, in antici
pation of the said tax, to such an amount
(not exceeding thirty millions of dollars) ast
may be necessary, and in such sums and
forms as may be most convenient, at a rate
of interest hot exceeding seven per cent, per
annum.”— N. Y. Herald.
-TheMobile News of the Ist instant tells
of the recent practices of the Mobile sharp
ers on the tender-hearted New Orleans femi
nines, representing themselves as on their
way to Kirby Smith. The New£ says: The
ladies, dear’ unsophisticated fcreatures that
they are, would shell out their last “red"
and “ go in heavy” in the work of setting the
somewhat dilapidated wardrobes ot these
“ boys” to rights, and the “ paroled” would
set out immediately to “jine Kirby" in
Texas, and “jine” somebody else in a social
drink on St*. Charles street. Tte jurflJtiou
lately effdfcted with Smith by some Federal
officers and soldiers has, however, played
the game out. It used to be, long ago—
“ Wake me up when Kirby dies! ’’—lately it
Was* “I’m all right till Kirby caves.”
—FTwo Sundays ago, while Mr. FUelding
Appleberry and family were at .church,' his
dwelling bourse, smoke-house,, bam, corn
crib and stables were set on fire and entirely,
destroyed. From the tracks found on the
premises, they are evidently negroes. Mr.
Appleberry had lately returned from the
Southern army. His residence was about,
twenty-five miles from Memphis.
—Freightful accounts continue to be re
ceived of the ravages of small pox in Jamai
ca, and the mortality among the laboring
classes. In tbe interior districts the people
have been dying like lotten ' sheep ; while
about Marath Bay, those afflicted have been
seen exposed on the highway, there being no
place provided for their reception by the
public.
—The New Orleans Bee In noticing some
recent phanges of military men into editors,
thinks some of them will ruin it in plunging
into “the seething caldron of a journalistic
establishment.where system, purposes, con
sistent effort and rational effect have to be
educed from a chaos of moral and mental
agitations, personal complications, and poli
tical suipri9es and emergencies.” Exactly!
—Commodore Nutt and Minnie Warren
are—or are about to be—married in London. .
