M. Ballet and Gym-Oastlo Oomblna' Ion. FRIDAY, JULY 3, 18G8. The Taxation or National Bonds. Is oar late edition of yesterday we published the report of the Committee of Ways and Means, made to the House of Represent ati yes in accordance with positive instructions, which provides for the retention by the Secretary of the Treasury ef ten per cent, of the interest now paid on Government bonds.

When the Committee made its report it directly stated the members of it "are opposed to the proposition embraced in this resolution, and report the bill only in obedience to the positive order Of the House. They reserve to themselves their rights as members of the House to oppose in every possible way the adoption of a measure which they regard as hostile to the public interest and injurious to the national oharaoter." It is hardly necessary for us to Bay that we heartily commend the report of the committee, and hope that the hasty action of the House does not intimate a determination to be guilty of the greatest wrong which it oould possibly iniliot upon the country. Such an aotion would be more than a political crime; it would be a political blunder. In whatever light we view the measure, whether as sound policy or Bound morality, it appears alike opposed to the doctrine of common sense and justice. The following is the text of the bill: "Be It enacted, That fr and after the passage of tbls act, there shall be levied, collected, and paid a tux of ten per centum on the amount of Interest hereafter due and payable on the bonds and otber securities I the (Jailed States.

To secure tbo collection of Biild tax tbe amount of imprest hereafter ud on any bands or otber securities of tbe United Htates, bearing Internal at six per cent Hhall be at tbe rate of only five and a half per ceuium; and bearing interest at the rate five per ceuium Hball be at tbe rate of only four aud live-tenths per and If bearing Int- rest at, tuo ite of throe per oent. Phall be at (be rate of oulytwoand seven tenths per coot, per annum. No higher rate of Interest tban is prescribed shall he paid on any bond or other security of the United States now onistaudlng or authorized to be lflsued, all conditions of any such mils or security, end lawn or parts of laws, to the contrary notwithstanding." Viewed first in the light of morality, as that ia the great guiding star of national aotion, we oannot bat deplore the adoption of such a law aa a calamity of no mean magnitude. The nation, in her darkest days of internal strife, called on her children to supply her with the money with which to defend her life. How readily they responded, history will decide.

On receiving their private funds, she engaged to repay them on certain terms. She agreed to exempt the principal advanced her, from taxation, to pay the debt in gold, and to hold it inviolately free from all forms of national taxation. This is her contract. No evasion can disguise it, no verbal niceties avoid it. In honor she is bonnd not to tax, in any shape, her bonds, but to pay on them annual interest of per in gold.

She is pledged so to do. Now when, by the aid given her by her citizens, she has successfully overcome her enemies, and stands once more erect, what do her statesmen propose to do Not to pay the 6 per cent, as agreed upon, but to pay per oent. minus 10 per cent, of that sum, or, in reality, to let the national debt bear but 5-10 per cent, interest. A man has a $100 United States 0-20 bond, and on it is yearly entitled to $6 in gold as interest. The Government does not pay him it keeps fifty cents and pays him 5-50.

This may be called financiering. To onr minds, however, it seems like a theft of fifty cents. It ia repudiation, and whether snch an act be done by a private person or a great nation, it is alike dishonest and morally wrong. Looking at it again in the light of sail policy, we cannot but see that such a course is a mistake. The future is hid in impenetrable mist.

As a nation we cannot tell what ia in store for na. It is not only possible, but it ia probable that we will want to borrow money again. Hardly any nation can go through fifty years of life without needing a loan of money. II we repudiate, either totally or partially, and eully our honor and make doubtful our faith, where will we get money if we want it again On what terms will it have to be negotiated, if it ran be negotiated at all The lesson of Mississippi ia to plain not to be heeded. She repudiated, aud if ever a State waa punished for a wrong deed ehe waa.

She could get no money on any terms, and her very name became a by-word of reproach throughout all the world. Viewed then in the light of policy alone, the proposed measure should receive an overwhelming defeat. But it ia also unjust to the bondholders. There is a popular misconception in regard to the taxation of the interest of the United States securities. It ia generally thought that the IntereBt received from Government bonds is not taxed.

A man says, "I have an income of $2000 from mortgages, and I must pay a tax of $100 to the United States. Yet my nephew, who has $2000 a year it bonds', pays nothing." We have heard thla said again and again; yet it ia 'stupidly false. A man who has $2000 a year In bonds paya jaat the same as a man who has $2000 a year in eny thing else. All incomes from whatever source are taxed five per cent, and that includes all bonds. So that the injustice denounced, ia no injustice at all.

The proposition of the Iloose is to deduot ten per or te make Government bondholders pay just as mnch on their inoome as any one else. The wrong thus done is palpable. We feel sure that the House will follow the alvice of the committee and assign the proposed repudiation to a legislative grave. The Registry Law. The Supreme Court, by a majority of one voice Judges Thompson, Strong, and Suarawood against Judges Read and Agnew decided the Registry Law to be opposed to the Constitution.

The decision we published yesterday. We cannot express surprise at the result, although it causes regret. The objects of the law were most commendable. All good citizens join together in wishiDg that some plan could be devised which will secure fairly the rule of the majority, without fraud of any kind. The Court was emphatically in favor of a registry law of some kind.

But any one who has read the present draft cannot doubt that it wa3 unconstitutional in many of its provisions. It added qualifications not required by the Constitution. The fault lay with the author. He made a serie3 of stupid mistakes. He made a residence of nineteen instead of ten days necessary, and gave a vague and indefinite power to the Aldermen and canvassers.

If these defects oould be remedied, as we wish they oould, we think that a law at once just, stern, and legal could be secured. The refusal to confirm it, while to be regretted, is, we repeat, no ground for surprise. Congress yesterday had under the present system of reporting debates in the ConyriHsional Globe at the public expense by paid reporters, and agreed to continue it. The chief argument made in defense of this custom was that, as everything is reported, members are held to a strict responsibility for their sentiments as well as their vote3. On the other hand, the temptation to talk or rather to write or have written a multitude of essays on political subjects ia greatly increased by the natural desire of every membar to have his own name spread frequently upon the voluminous pages of the official journal.

The real debate of Congress forms but a small portion of the matter printed as such. There are an abundance of members who, without uttering a single thought calculated to inlluenoe the deliberations of their associates, or to convey an iota of information, still insist upon delivering or having printed speeches, which nobody reads. These 'Bunkum" efforts are, in most instances, totally useless, for they have ceased to deceive enlightened rural constituencies, and they should be abolished. OBITUARY. Ueaaral Lafnyatt, C.

Baker. Bilgadier-Oeneial Lafayette C. baker, ex-chief of the Detective l'olloo, died at an early hour this morning, at hM residence In this city, No. 11 dS Coates street, In the forty-second year of his age. Tne deceased was a grandson of Colonel Remember Bilker, of Vermont, whose name figures so prominently In the Revolutionary annals of that State.

General Bakei'n lather, bearing the same name aa his grandiather, removed from Vermont in 1815. and became a resident of Stafford, New York, where Liiayette was born on 13th ol October, 1H2G. Three years after the family removed to the adjolnlug town of Elba, where they resided until Lafayette attained his thirteenth year. The family then removed to Michigan, locating on the site of Lansing, now the capital of tbe State, but at that time a dreary wilderness. In 18-18 Lafayette left Michigan, and alter residing in New York: city for two years, came to this city, where he was engaged In business pursuits for about three years.

In 1803 he started for California, where he began a life of adventure which has been seldom equalled. While crossing the Isthmus of Darien ho became Involved In a dispute with some of tbe natives, who were endeavoring to Impose on an Irish emigrant. Mr. Biker espoused tbe latter's cause, and did not rid himself of the matter nntll ho had shot two the natives deadin remained! concealment several weeks, while, their frien were seeking his life iu revenge. After his arrival In San Francisco he engaged in business pursuits until 1856, when the famous Vigilance Committee was called into being by the great disorder and lawlessness which prevailed.

This Vigilance Committee consisted of 2-00 men, each known only by his number. Baker's being 208. lie was cne of the most active and eltioient members of the organisation, and did his full share in the work of rescuing Sau Francisco from anarchy. Resuming his business pursuits after the disbanding of the Vigilance Committee, Baker remained In San Francisco until 1801, in waicn year he paid another visit to New York, intending to be absent from his California home for a brief period only. Previous to his departure, the leading merchants of the city presented to him a ruHKUlileently-inonnted cane, as an acknowledgement of bis services lntbecauso of law and order.

Just as he was preparing to return to the Pacific coast, the first act lu the great drama of the civil war occurred, and Baker determined to enter the natloual service in a capacity congenial to his experience aud tastes. After several interviews with General Soott, an arrangemeut was llually elfccted, In accord auce with which he started on a secret mission to Richmond, to discover If possible the numbers and disposition of the Rebel forcos In and around Manassas Gap. Before he could get through the Union lines be was arrested by order of Gen. Uelntzolman, and sent to Washington under guard. Again starling, he contrived to get within the Rebel lines, by representing himself as a Southerner long resident In California, who desired to return to his native section, lie reached Richmond, had an Interview with Jeff.

Davis and Toombs, secured an appointment as a secret agent of the Confederate Government, learned some important faots oon. cerning the disposition of the Rebel troops, and finally reached Washington to make his first report to General Scott, after several' hairbreadth escapes with his life. In this way his work was and it expanded In tbe course of a few months Into the extensive operations of the secret service bureau of the War Department, of whloh Baker was the responsible head. To assist the operations of the service, a regiment of cavalry was recruited iu the District of Columbia, of whlou he became Colonel, bis commission 09 a Brigadier-General, long promised him by Mr. Lincoln, not being made out until after the cap.

ture of the companions of John Wllkos Booth, In return for his share in which he recolved it from President Johnson. To follow General Baker's course throughout the Rebellion would be Impossible within the space and time at our command. The operations of his bureau extended over the whole country, and no Il9bel sympathizer; enjoyed a feeling of security when his name was pronounced. lie mtde many mistakes, and has been accused time and time again of a corrupt and wilful exercise of tbe great authority lodged In his hands. The Pemooratio press soon began to denounce hlrn lu the most unmeasured terms, and by the close of the war he had seonred the enmity of several of the leading Republican Journals.

That he deserved a measure of this calumny Is not to be denied, for his wore at times characterized by recklessnecs, if not by a spirit of personal animosity. But that time will abundantly substantiate his claim to having done tbe nation material servloe In the hour of its greatest perl), we have no doubt. lie was earnest, active, and efficient, at least, if he was not always and altogether impartial. The Secret Service was a new and unheard-of Institution in this country, and it was not a matter of surprise that the open spirit of freedom should at times rebel against its clandestine wny of doing things, tbe only manner iu whloh its operations could bo carried on with a shadow of success. On tho 17th of June, 1R05, General iker tendered his resignation, having previously frequently applied to the Secretary of War to be relieved from duty ns Provost Marshal of the War Department, lie experienced some difficulty lu ootalning an honorable muster-out, having Inclined tbo hearty contempt and hatred of President Johnson, with whom he finally parted after a very stormy luterview concerning the pardon-brokerage operations 0 the notorious Mrs.

Cobb. After his discharge Uiineral Baker repaired to Philadelphia, and here prepared a voluminous history of the Secret Service of (ho Government during the Rebellion, which was published by King Batrd, of thlsclty. Since its publication he has continued to reside here. For three minlhs previous to his death he was confined to the house by Illness, the disease which finally proved fatal being on attack of typhoid fever. From General Baker's book on the Seoret Service we make the following extract, showing the spirit and manner in which the operations of his department were conducted: "Upon my return from an expedition Into Lower Maryland, when within a mile from the Slate line, I met a farmer with a wagon load of slaves, consisting of a father and mother, with their two small children, and a wife's sister, all In charge of a constable and a loice of armed citizens.

The slaves, lied baud und lout, aud thrown upon tne straw in an old country wagon, were on their way btck to bondage. And this was done In the name of iw, to pactty the men who were plotting to Uesiroy the Unl I "I was completely exhausted; but, norved to action by Indignation too intense for expression, I demanded the authority lor tbe horrible proceeding. Tho claimant produced his parcu-merit, bearing tbe seai of Commissioner Cox. lie nourished the precious document belore me, and diitcttd my alteuMou to tue great seal of tbe United "Upon careful perusal of it. I found that it bore tbe names of only four slaves, while the load Included five.

When 1 pointed the culvul-rous and cjulldent owner to the apparently unimportant circumstance, bo replied, vVe don't cnunt that pointing to an Infant three months old, lu the arms of a mother, whose feet weie tied, while sue leaned against the side of the vehicle. "I BUKweied: 'The mother was a slave, and the child whs born lu bondage. You claim, the mother, and of eourt the child Is kidnapped; aud as vou profess to sbidios uiu.hu, and are violating the statute, I arrest tne entire company." lie warmly protested, and threatened resistance. "He said. Take the baby; what in do wo want of the baby? We want "The mother began to weep.

One of my men was touched, and, turning to me with pleading tore, inquired if I would separate the mother and child. The display of a dozen of CoR'n revolvers, by myself aud assistants, satisfied my excited fritiid that I was in earnest in expressing my interpretation of the law. I sprang into tho wagon, and with my sabre's point cut the ropes. "i bis, I think, was the first practical application of the principle of the famous Emancipation Proclamation of later date. "I directed the horses' ho uU to bo turned toward Washington, when the owner and driver of the load remonstrated, and said, wltu au oath: 'Let the niggers walk to said, 'no.

You brought them here, and must carry them "Tbe poor captives sank on their knees; tbe venerable old man exclaiming, with uplifted hands, 'Bless God 1' and the mother adding. God bless Colonel Baker "I took them to my headquarters and set them at liberty. "xcis transaction, or course, Drought upon my head the curses of he slaveholders ot Lower Maryland. But I bad violated no law, on account of the fortunate presence of tbe baby. "A delegation called on Mr.

Lincoln the next morning, protesting auainst tbe arbitrary act. producing, as before, tbe sacred parohment. I wns summoned to the White House. The President said: 'Baker, a serious charge is preferred against directing my attention to tie document, with the lmruiry, 'What do you know about the case "I br lefly made my statement, giving prominence to the number ol the slaves, and the Juvenile supernumerary. "Tbe Chief Magistrate, worthy of the nation he represented, replied Jocosely: 'Well, Baker, 1 guess the baby saves you aud dismissed the whole aflalr, leaving the 'contrabands' at larso, out! myself to the prosecution of my thankless profession." A Railroad from St.

Louis to Texas is con. sldered desirable. A Texan, writing to the St. Louis Jtepublican, urging the construction of a railroad from St. Louis to Texas, the Neuoes and Rio Grande rivers there are 1,000,000 head of horned cattle, aud 100.0JO head of horses and mules.

The trade of San Antonio with Mexico amounts to $3,000,000 an. nually. It would take a railroad fifty years to carry all tho cattle in Wt stern exas to St. Louis. Cattle In that country are bein killed for their hides alone, Hesiys such a railroad would not only make Hi.

Louis the stocn market of Ameri ca, but would develop tue finest copper, coal, and sliver mines In the world Kt. Lc tils, us yet, does not seem to realize the fact. The Delaware Democracy are a progressive set of people. The Constitution of the Slate framed in 1770 contained the following provision: Kvery freemau, having sufficient evidence of permanent common Interest with, and attachment to, the community hatu a right of Buflrage." In happy contrast with this Is the declaration of the recent Demoeratiu State Cou. vention: 'The elective frauohiso is apolitical privilege, and not a natural ithi.

and Is to be granted or withheld as shall be deemed best." Citakitt is Contauious. Durinj the last three years, two citizens of New York, Chauncey and Henry Rose, have distributed among our charitable associations in an unostentatious manner, the large sum of 81,150,000, equivalent to over 81000 a day during the whole' period. Such a remarkable instance of benavo lent inunllloenee should not go and we gladly add tbe name of Rose to th limited but honorable list which already includes PeterCooper, George Peubouy, and tue lute Mauhew Vassur.

The New Orleans Republican, of the 27th ult Any: Tluee men, whose reputation as desperate characters seems to be pretty well eitabiisned In Rapids parish, and who have become tbe terror of colored people In that parish, were arrested on Monday night, about thirty miles from Alexandria. Their uames are Lirkln D.

Corley, Millard Corley, and Lewis Tally, and they are charged with the wlltut and deliberate murder of Natban Green, Dinah Hodman, Coarles Ilnlfman, and Henry C'orney. Tbe prisoners were brougbt dowu the river on tbe steamer St. Nicholas, au 1 arrived here yesterday morning, under the charge of a Deputy Uullt States Marshal, nud unaided by soldiers of the 201 United Stales Infantry. The Deputy Marshall accompanied a deiHchmenl of the 2Ulti United States Infantry, under the command of Brevet Lleu-teriRht Colonel J. C.

Bates, who took wl.h him Lltutenant B. Curney, and Dr. J. F. M.

For-wood, Surgeon of the regiment. They led Alexandria at 5 o'clock lu tne evening, and guided by the light of pine knots, marohed until midnight, when they surrounded the prcnibes occupied by the alleged murderers, Ira the piney and arrested luem. No resistance whs made, though oue of the jarty came out with a double-barreled shot gun, but as soon as he raw the superior numoers against tt-iem he yielded without attempting to raise bis weapon. Tbe parlies arrested have the reputation of being pretty desperate oharauter.s, and hence a large squad of military was employed to captuie tbetn. The murders occurred six or reven weeks ego In tbe piny woods, some six miles from tho camping ground of the alleged murderers, and the acts were commuted under horrible olroutnstaniitfs.

One colored woman aud two colored men were bung, and oue colored man was shot by the uilscieants.

DISGRACEFUL DARTER. A Motber fUlla har Daughter for Two Tnouiaad Dollars. The Winona (Minn.) Republican of the 2th ult. sajf-: Our neighboring city or uwatonna has been agitated aud exeiteu over an elopement alTair which occurred there last week, tue particulars of which were receive 1 lromu gentleman wuo came lu ou tbe train yesterday. At Uwatonna restued a milliner, Mrs.

My-rick, who was lh other of a young and fascinating daughter of ivtiout sixteen. A very respectable young run named OJell, had been (jujlngllie JuvtKhter alteutlou for sometime, and It was currently reported and believed that tLty were crjeuged. Mutters stood thus when a man from Chicago, or ome clly further isl, to whom Mrs. Myriek was Indebted in tne sum of S1j0o, eauie to Uwatoaua, aud made the acquaintance of Mis Myrlck. He no sooner saw her than be determined to possess her, and being a man unscrupulous ns- to what means tie employed, be olfered Mrs.

Myrlck to release her from her obligation of 8iJO0 If she would give him ber daughter. Whether she required much urging or not is not known, but she finally acceded to the proposition. There was another parly to be consulted, how-e er. The young and lunooent girl snruutt from the idea ol -lug sold bartered lor a price and that to a man whose character seamed anything but fair, and whose purposes appeared coloied with dishonor. She hastened to tier lover with the tale, and tbey promptly decided to elude the vigilance of the mother, and thwart her mlserab'e designs by a speedy marriage.

They took the first truln going ist, ant were soon as tney thought beyond tue Iowa line, but unfortunately, they alighted from the cars sooner than they Intended, and they were obliged to take a catrlage and drive to Cresoo. This delay gave the mother time to overtake tbem. She telegraphed to Creco, and bad them arrested, and after her arrival, with her miserable partner In the disgraceful bargain, a mock trial was bad and OJell was held In custody at bcr request until she got started home with her daughter. But instead of goiug to Uwatonna the party look the eastward bound train. Tue young cirlwas almost frantic, aud, It Is said, attempted to leap from tne train.

It is also reported that she attempted to jump overboard at Prairie du Chien. The young man returned to Owatotna with his l'athor. The whereabouts of Mrs. Myriok, her daughter, and tbe man who sought to have possession of her, are not now known. Mis.

Myrlck's milliner shop Is closed up, and tbe public opinion is very much agalust her. It could hardly be otherwise with any woman who would deliberately sell her daughter In that manner. RELIGIOUS NOTICES. Op. TI1K DAILY UNION II A It h'SaJ WK.fc.TINU.
