INTERNAL We once heard an old gentleman say, "our forefathers went to war over the stamp act' and got the negro, while in 1861 we went to war over the negro and got the 'stamp act,' " and in the shape of Internal Revenue taxes this war burden remains with us still. There are, however, well defined rea sons why the laws levying these internal taxes should and will be repealed. In the first place, the Democratic party in Congress is committed to their repeal at the earliest possible moment com patible with the interests of the govern ment. This party has not now a ma jority in either branch of Congress, but In the Senate the waver of a few Re publican Senators, will enable the Democrats to pull the measure throush. In the lower house the Democrats are also in the minority, but there are so many members from the West who would favor it, that it can be passed whenever it can be made to appear that the taxes are no longer needed to main tain the credit of the government. Again, the revenue of the govern ment now approximates one thousand millions of dollars per annum, which in round numbers is five hundred millions of dollars more than is necessary to pay the ordinary running expenses of the government. The surplus of course is levied to pay the national debt, and this is All very well except that there are a great many people who don't want to see the debt paid off at the rate of five hundred millions per year. Among this class are national bank officers and hold ers of national bank stock. As long as the government bonds are outstanding they serve aa reserve capital, and as se curity to the public of the solvency of the banks, and although it is probable that interest will be cut down to 3 per cent, they are now taxable and the inter" est approaches really 6 per cent. In these days this is considered a good rate of interest for a security that is converti ble at will into cash. We see, therefore, that if the debt is Daid off our national banking system, a3 it now stands will Buffer annihilation, and that too in the face of the fact that it is the best that has ever been devised, so that every man interested in the national banking System, as well as all holders of govern ment bonds would be glad to see the debt perpetuated. To these may be added, without re gard to party, that large and influential part of the members of Congress, in both houses, who are in favor of a pro tective tariff, but who see that the reve nues of the government must be reduc ed. They would much prefer that the heavy hand of legislation should be laid on the internal revenue exactions than on the custom house duties on importa tions. The protectionists already seem badly frightened. Their circular, call ing for a conventionin New York, says that "manufacturers should now assert their right to protection with both hands, and demand the full and unin terrupted guarantee of the laws." These same protectionists have protection ranging from twenty-five to two or three hundred per cent., and still tkey demand more bounties more tribute to be wrung out of the people, when they repeatedly tell us that they can un dersell the world, which means that they need no protection at all. They now want to saddle the tribute system on the country, and impudently "de mand the full and uninterrupted guar antee of the lawsHalthough the United States Supreme Court has emphatically pronounced the system of forcing peo ple to pay subsidies to manufacturers unconstitutional. But higher bounties cannot be levied, while there is an over flowing treasury, and while the Demo cratic minority, watching for a chance to strike, guards the portals of legisla tion. To these may yet be added a large and respectable class of our people who think that the payment of the national debt, if it can be safely carried at S per cent, interest per annum, can with jus tice be remanded to future generations for payment, because in the first place any business can afford to pay 3 per cent and so it is really better to owe the debt than it is to pay it, a3 long as the country is prosperous, and money is in demand, and in the next place the present generation has already paid very much more than its share of this self same debt. With all these causes combined we Bhould not be surprised to see the whole internal revenue system wiped out of existence by the next Congress, satis fied as we are that the country is ripe for the change. If a vote could be taken to-day on the subject, in North Caro lina, free, untrammeled and stripped of party prejudice, the ballot-box would show, not counting the revenue officers and their attaches, themselves, at least forty to one in favor of repeal. The people have long borne the burden through patriotism. Once convince them that there is no longer a necessity for it and it would vanish so quickly that people wouldwonder how it ever existed at all. rnnrA in from all DOrtlOnS 01 .IDS country some few - had even ' been torn from the walls of houses where they had been pasted as worthless for any other 'purpose than wall-paper but fast as they poured in, the demand for them continued, as active and as earnest as ever, and they have steadily and "rapidly advanced in value. No sane person ever had any idea that any of the Southern States would recognize nnv tinrtion of the Confederate debt, and as the parent government has long since been defunct, there have been many speculations as to why these old bonds were worth anything at all. Section 6 of article 1 of the constitution of North Carolina reads no fniinws- " but the State "shall never assume or pay, or author "ize the collection of, any debt or obli "eation. express or implied, incurred in "aid of insurrection or rebellion against fh TTnihfirt st.at.es. or anv claim, for "the loss or emancipation of any slaves.' We suppose that the constitutions of other States contain a similar clause, as Congress claimed, and really did exer cise the right, under the reconstruction laws of annrovinor or disapuroving the constitutions of the States adopted af ter the war, and before they were regu larly received back into the Union. j The Confederacy being dead to all intents and purposes, and the States themseves forbidden to pay any part of the war debt, for which the Confeder ate bonds were issued, the statement that these worthless relics of the "lost cause" had suddenly appreciated in value to the amount of M of one Per cent, took everybody by surprise. But there is said to be an explana tion, and this explanation is to be found in a telegram published in an other column this morning, in which it is stated that seventeen millions of dol lars remain in the Bank of England to the credit of the deceased Confederacy. This would naturally belong to the United States as the assignee of the Confederacy, but it seems that Uncle Sam. under international law cannot Baying a Hatr Raleigh News-Observer. At a certain house in Salisbury street a squalling negro baby, now apparently about a yearoia, nas ueeu a uuiaauuo for these many m&nths. A few days ago its mother, wnose love ior ner noisy offspring was never very great, enter tained oners ror me saie or excnauge m. the infant. A childless negro woman, with, it is to be noped, a more motneriy disposition, wished to secure the child to supply the missing link in her own home-circle, one iouna me motner, i appears, disposed to give up tne cnua, but also desirous to get value received for it. Upon such a oasis or excnange, the negotiation was made, and on yes terday tne lniant was iransierreu iruiu its old to its new mamma. The con sideration in the bareain. was a red shawl and a pair of new shoes, which mother number two gave to tha origin al parent. Nobody interferred in the transaction, which was bona fide and jrrpiatlv to the satisfaction of both par ties. The infant had nothing to lose and all to gain by the change, while the people who have been compelled to listen to the yells of the juvenile for so long are happy. It is seldom that a bar gain gives so much pleasure all around. claim the money without at once be coming liable for the debls. It maybe said,first,that there is a sum of money belonging to the late Conrea eracy, lying in the Bank of England, variously estimated at from 0200,000 to $17,000,000; and, second, that nobody will ever get it without a biff fight with TTnpla Sam. who has to-dav the ear of both the government Great Britain.

Folger, who was on Thurs day.nominated and confirmed as Secre tary of the Treasury, is a native of Nantucket, Mass. When he was yet a boy his parents removed to Geneva, New York. In that town the son re ceived hi3 education, and there he has always resided. He began the practice of law in 1S40, and was appointed a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1S44. under the old State constitution. In 1S51 he was elected judge of the On tario County Court under the new con stitution, and held the office four years, j lie was a Democrat until lo6, when he left the party on tho slavery issue, and took an active part in organizing the Regublican party. He was elected to the New York Senate in 1SG1, and serv ed four successive terms, during two of which he was president pro tern., and presided in the absence of the lieuten ant governor. Being an able lawyer and an effective speaker he easily took the lead on the Republican side, and took a conspicuous part in the principal mat ters of legislation, as well as in the ccir test between the warring Republican factions during the administration of Gov. Fenton. President Grant appoin ted him assistant treasurer of the Uni ted Stated at New York in 1869. In 1870 he was elected an associate justice of the Court of Appeals, and held that po sition until the death of Chief Justice Church, in 1880, when Gov. Cornell ap pointed him to the vacant place. At the ensuing election he was chosen chief justice by a large majority. This position he vacates to become Sec retary of the Treasury. The Broken Bank. New York, Oct. 31. A special states that at a meeting of the directors of the Mechanics North Bank of Newark, N. J., yesterday, Cashier O. L. Baldwin stated the bank was not in good condi tion to pay, and the liabilities were so great that further attempts to carry on business would be useless. The direc tors offered to subscribe a half million to put the bank in condition for busi ness. The cashier replied two millions would not do it. Another special states he confessed that all that was left or tne resources of the bank was its building, which was worth fifty thousand dollars. Nominations That Failed.

The daj for banging him was fixed nine times and he was nine times respited, twice on the scaffold with the rope around his The Pay of Guiteau's Witnesses. Baltimore Sun. There seems to be a good deal of dif ference of opinion as to whether the government can, under existing laws, pay the mileage and per diem of wit nesses summoned to testify in behalf of Guiteau. When Mr. Scoville, one of the defendant's counsel, first applied for an order directing witnesses to the number of 44 to be summoned and their attendance procured at the expense of the government, judge jox was in doubt as to whether any witnesses for the defense, vrho reside a hundred miles beyond the boundaries of the District of Columbia, could be paid out of the ordinary fund. Atter consider ing the matter Some days he ruled that while the statute limited such pay ments to witnesses who reside within a hundred miles of the outer limits of the jurisdiction of the district criminal court, yet witnesses brought from re mote places might be paid out of the contingent fund of the department of justice. Saturday Judge Cox re-called this opinion and made an order direct ing twenty or more witnesses to be summoned for the defense at the ex pense of the government without pre scribing any limitation as to distance from which they should be brought In this last ruline Judge Cox is sua tained by Judge Lawrence, first comp troller of the treasury, who holds that the statute relating to the hundred- mile radius does not apply to the Dis tnct of Columbia. CONFEDERATE BONDS; The bonds of the late Confederate States ef America have suddenly taken a rise on the stock market, which can- aot be accounted for upon the theory of any ordinary speculation. It was but a few short weeks ago that the telegraph told us of a sudden rise in the financial capital of the world! of these securities, which had not been heard of or quoted for years. This rise in London was f ollewed almost instan taneously, Dy a similar rise in this country New York called for as many Confederate bonds as ceuld be had, and a wild search was made in many an old trunk and cheat in the South for these hfttiffl. that. lAd been .taaured and hoarded up,, not because, ,thelr owner vr imagined that they would be worth anything, but as mementoes of a Brand and bTavely fought, if unsuccess ful, struggle Thousands of these bonds The Double Ring Show.
