QUARANTINE CONTROVERSY REVIVED. ‘The.nale of the Quaranting property on Staten Island ‘and the arrangement of Quarantine matters will again ‘be one of the imzortant questions of the session. For several years past there has been a sharp controversy Detween two factiors upon this subject. Ono aide, unde ‘the lead of the Quarantine Commissioners and the Gover- Ror, baye labored for the passage of one bill for the settie-~ ment of the vexed question and the disposal of the lands on Staten Island, as well ac the ostablichment of @ new ‘Quarantine depot. The other faction, under the lead of ‘Dr. Jerome, Lieutenant Governor Campbell and the radi- @als of the Senate, have had another mode of arranging the same question, and having it nally disposed cf. Either would, doubtless, when fully explained, be satisfactory io ho inhabitants of Staten Island. ‘The former combiua. tion has succeeded in controlling the House and the jatter ‘the Sénate; and thus the matter was sure to fal! botween. She two, and the question remain at the adjournment pre- pisely the same ag at the commencement. The question Will bo again brought up this winter, with a fair prospect Of the same result as heretofore, and end with nothing -done for Quarantine, “In-the meantime the question is being agitated by a Portion of the inbabitants of Siaten Island, at least by ‘Mose who. have settled on the island, from New Jersey, to get upatradte between the State of New York and CASE 4 3 ; . ane ’ them during the early of last week have now, we believe, been ree The suspension is general; but at the same time ne bank refuses to supply its dealers with coin for the payment of duties or, any other necessary purpose. The dis- sentient banks likewise agreed yesterday to re- ceive United States Treasury notes on deposit as money, stipulating, however, that checks drawn against them should be paid in Treasury notes. This refinement will not last long. If every bank dealer is hereafter to have two kinds of accounts— one in bank notes and another in Treasury notes— the labors of cashiers and tellers will be measura- bly increased. In the course of a few days it will burst upon the mind of the managers of our banks that if United States Treasury notes arenot worthy of being considered as valuable as New York bank notes, the capital of our banks, which is nearly altogether invested in government securities, can- not be worth much. The banks are not in a posi- tion to cast slora upon government credit, and the less nonsense we hear hereafter about calling de- posits of Treasury notes “special deposits,” the better it will be for their interest. We published yesterday a report: and resolutions whichare said to have been passed at the meeting on Sajurday before last, and which, for some reagon or other: have been kept concealed from the public ever since. The point of these documents isan appeal to Congress to make provision for the funding of the paper about to be issued by government. This is excellent, and we trust the committee will press the subject on the attention of Mr. Thaddeus Ste- vens and his colleagués. It would have been bet- ter, perhaps, if the representations of the banks had not taken the form of a threat. They must perceive that they are helpless in the matter, and that, whatever Congress does, they cannot help receiving Treasury notes on deposit, Their expe- rience during the past eix months ought to have convinced them that neither Mr. Chase nor Con- gress is dependent upon their favors for means to carry on the war. Money bas been rather close during the week, mainly in consequence of the calling in of loans by some of our leading banks. A notion prevails among some of our leading bank managers that this is a good time to shut off mercantile and other eustomers with a view to strengthen the banks. To be consistent, the banks which favor this theory must go into liquidation at once. Every one knows that the banke have invested nearly all their capi- tal in-‘government sccurities, If, in consequence . of this anomalous position, they now deliberately ‘Now Jorsey—the latter to have Staten Island annexed, | Tefuse to perform their proper duties to: the mer. ‘the fwand to form hereafter a portion’ of the State | cantile community, they will obviously relinquish of New Jersey, and the State of New York to be. oid, bya transfer of Sandy Hook as @ quaran- iy Me ry) for the city of New York. We to that the Board of Supervisors of Richyiond “Granty hive already passed # resolution petitioning the ‘agisataro vo rake that trade, under ‘the idea of being ‘Selidved from taxes as s00n as they are annexed to the ‘mation of Jeresy. This may prove an interesting picceol ‘Rows to the New York business mon and merchants who Feside on the island, and, since such a transfer won)d re duce the value of property about fifty per cent, we ima all claim to the title of mercantile institutions, and the mercantile community will at once proceed to institute new banks, under Mr. Chase’s scheme, to take their place. What would become of the commercial assets of the exieting banks in this event we forbear to inquire. Some of the more farsighted of our bank presidents argue that the loan aagttonts system ought to be carried out to its extent at the present crisis, and that the banks should ase their government securities as glde thas they wil! be inclined to roject the project of the | @ banking basis, and accommodate their dealers orzeyites of the island. ‘THE END. ‘We have thus endeavored to review the important questions that will be brought before the Legislature dur- ‘fing the present session. There are a number of jobs of ‘{@0 great importance that we have bren obliged to omit Moe want of room. We have, we believe, enumerated ali ‘the !mportant schemes, unless it ia those that will be to that extent. This would certainly seem the safer course to pursue in view of the mercantile paper now held by the banks. If government promises to pay are worthless, nothing is of any value. And if the banks shut down on the public, they will some day find themselves burthened not only With a large amount of government, securities Presented for our neighboring city, Brooklyn, which of which they cannot sell, but likewise with on im- ‘Atobias become a favorite place for th» jobbers to trump | mense quantity of commercial paper which will be ‘SP special jobs and money making schemos, and we have valneless. The notion which seems to be enter- Sodoubt thatthe same number affecting the interests | tained by some of our bank managers, of fighting OF that city will be presented as usual. In all of this ‘there is plainly a rich ficld for the lobbymen at Albany. ‘The facts sustain our frequent statements that the jobber® ‘would take advantage of our national troubles, anil go in ‘with a rash for the plunder, under the idea that no attan- tion would be paid to their operations. Whata field Hon. ‘Masa Greoley will have for recuperating his finances, and the situation, can only lead to loss and rain, The part of wisdom is to recognire the crisis, and ac- commorate oneself to it. Foreign exchange closed yesterday firm at 1132 114 for bankers’ bills on London, and 5.05 for bankers’ billa on Paris. At these rates, calling Preparing fer a grand rush for the mantle of Preston King | 801d 1% a2 per ceut premium, there is still a profit ‘ne year hence. ‘With this we leave the matter in the liands of the law- ‘makers and the lobby, urging our citizens at thesame timo to keep asharp lookout for the operat®ns at the State capital, Whatever may be the results of the eersion, we ‘will guarantee that there wil! be a general rejoicing ‘Bhroughout the State when the tidings reach it that the ‘Logislature has adjourned sine die, Postal Affairs [From Roivrook’s United cept Mail.)

It is evident that there is an active speculative movement.in the foreign ex- change market, and it is possible that, unless some untoward event occurs, exchange and gold may both rise to considerably higher points. Brokers and bankers confidently predict 115, and even 120, for bills on London, and 5 8 per cent premium for gold. There is no reason why these predictions should be realized, unless it be the operations of speculators. If, however, the belief spreads that gold and exchange are going toadvance, every one will want to buy, and it is impossible to say what points may not be touched in the excitement. Our foreign trade for the year 1861 must have left us creditors of the world at large, and in ordinary circumstances exchange ought to rule below par. ‘The anomalous position of our finances and the ope- rations of speculators may, however, for a time re_ verse the natural tendency of the market, and lead tothe advance which is so confidently expected. 6 ized, whether applied to male or female | We can only say that such an advance wil! not rest offces.

Tt is quite desirable that Congress ‘should watch the course of trade. Tn the event of any tendency toward an increase, of imports of @ry goods, the doties ehould be increased. Bo Joug a8 the war lasta this country wants no foreign manufactures of wool, cotton, silk or linen, It eeanot afford to pay for them, or for any British manufactures @ ivon or steel. When the rebellion is suppressed it.vnay possibly become desirable to yeopen oar markets to the products of foreign in dustry. But so long as the rebels persevere, on the strength of hopes of foreign recognition end aesistance, we enn afford te indulge in pwr- eheses of any foreign goods which can possibly be dispensed with, Our exports continue to be Mueral, and the railroads contime to supply the Reaboard with igege quantities of flour and pro- visions for export, Specie is moving eastward, though not in large amounts as yet. We can afford to spare a large Fnantity of gold to Burope, if it should be needed. The first week of suspension by onr banks has passed over without any accident. When the banks commenced business on Monday last they had romething over $23,000,000 in thel® vaults.” $24,000,000; so that they have ga‘ She week. Now that suspension has actually taken place, the banks will probably lose no more apecic, Tho differences which existed between are better than they were a week ago. The ad- vance is due, first, toa general notion that the beer of government paper and the suspension The | f specie payments must cause an fnflation; secondly, to the settlement of the difficulty with Great Britain; and, thirdly, to the impression thai vigorous and successful military movements gyre at hand. The stock market has not, however, taken the bound which many operators looked for when they first heard of the suspension of specie pay- ; latterly we have been importing | ments. The fact is, nothing has yet happened Our dry goods imports | which should necessarily cause stocks to rise, The inflation has not begun, and many wecks must elapse before the increase of the currency is actually felt inthe general markets. Money i in fact, apparently scarcer than it was a we < ago. By-and-by, when the country begins to be gorged with paper money, it will be cafe to look for the usual phenomeva of an in- flation; at present, if those phenomena become apparent in the stock market, as they are develop- ing themselves in the exchange market, it will be safe to conclude that the fature is being anticipat- ed. We look, however, with confidence for an advance in United States €’s and 7.30 Treastry Hotes. The moment government begins to pay its debts in paper bearing a very low rate of interest, or nowe at all, the holders of that paper will. con. vert it into the government 6’s and 7.30's, se long as these cah be bought at a moderate price. To what extent the general market would sympathize isa fair matter for speculation. The great rail- roads are doing the best winter busimess they ever had. The Ceatral and Erie will each show over $300,000 increage for December, bd 6 much or more in January, Tt is expected thet the Committee of Ways ond Means in Congress will report to-morrow a bill for prosecution of the war.

It must make that peper @ legal tender; and it must provide that, now cr hereafter, that paper shall be fanded in stock of the United States, bearing 5, 6 or 7 per cent interest, unless it should suit the convenience of the government to redeem it in specie. So far as these points are concerned the Committee of Ways and Means has nodiscretion. The crisis is imperative. It rests with the committee and with Congress to determine the details of the plan— namely, at what period the irredeemable govern- ment paper hall be funded, into what kind of stock it shall be convertible, whether or no it shall bear interest, on what conditions it may be redeemed in coin, and what form of taxation shall be adopted to render it so certain of redemption that it shall not depreciate. With regard to the first point, it would seem that the government enrrency ought to he convertible at all times after midsummer next, It is evident that it will circulate as money throughout the country, and that, once issued, it will remain in circulation for a long period of time. If Congress should decide that it shall bear no in- terest, the longer it remains afloat the better for the Treasury Department. Two hundred millions of dollars can readily be floated in the shape of government paper. Jf so much can be kept out without trouble for two years, at least twelve millions of dollars in interest will be saved. If, on another hand, it, should be deemed advisable to give to the new government currency an advan. tage over ordinary bank notes by rendering it «vi- dend-paying, an annual charge of say three per cent would probably answer the purpose, and in this event it should not be convertible for eighteen oy twenty-four monthe. As to the nature of the stockinto which it should be funded, it is ovly ne- cossary to remark that for twenty years, with brief intervals, the five per cents of the United States have commanded over par in the markets of the world. The present rebellion suppressed, there is no reason to doubt but they would sell at a premium again. If, therefore, Congress feels confident of the power of the nation to subdue the rebels, it would seem sufficient and proper to ren- der the new national currency convertible, at a fixed period, into United States bonds bearing five per cent interest, and redeemable at the plea- sure of the government after twenty or thirty years. Government should, however, reserve the right of redeeming the new currency in specie at the time of ite conyersion. Itis possible that the rebels may succumb sooner than is commonly ex. pected. In this event the United States Treasury will be flush, and government ought not to place itgeif in & position to be compelled to buy up its own pro- mises to pay at twenty per cent premium, as was -done under the Presidency of Pierce. No difficu.- ty should exist with regard to the methods of taxa- tion to be adopted. At the extra session, held in July, Congress imposed an income tax, the worst possible form of taxation for a country like ours, where fixed incomes are unknown, and men’s pro- fits finctuate widely from year to year. In Eng- land, where a large preportion of the wealthy clasees derive their income from hereditary in- vestments in land or in the public funds, an jucome tax is a simple and cquitable impost, In this country no one enjoys a fixed income, and the scheme adopted by Congress in July is neither likely to press evenly on the people of the North, nor to be collected with facility, nor to yield a large amount of revenue. The de- sired object may be much more surely and conveniently attained by taxing specific objects. with regard to which there can be no difficulty, For instance, there might be a direct tax of $40,000,000 apportioned among the loyal States, and collected by the several State governments by the same process as State taxes are now collected: Then a sum of thirty millions might be collected hy asuitable tax on all kinds of deeds, sales, couvey- ances, leases, mortgages, charter parties, policies of insurance, bills of éxchange, promissory notes, checks, sale notes, wills, bonds of surety, and all such justraments a8 convey or insure or hypothe- cate property ormoney. A large sum might be raised by © suitable tax, say 7% per cent, on all trans- fers or issues of stock in bavk, ineuranee, railroad, cana), manufacturing or other stock in incorpo- rated gompanies. If the issues of newspapers and periodicals were taxed, say % of a cent for each daily issue of cach paper, a large revenue would be produced without any appreciable difference to the public. Finally, a large number of objects should be specially taxed—for instaaces spirits, wines and ales, which could be taxed spe- cifically at so much a year when the license to sell was granted; carriages, watches, silver plate, gold jewelry, all of which, in like manner, shonld be taxed in the shop of the vendor; the incomes of revident foreignera, who do not propose to become citizens; all articles of luxury used exclusively by the rich, &c., &c.
