The tep-forty loan is Dow, practicliy, out o: tae market, for of course nv one will subscribe for ine bonds at par apd interest while they cav be bousnt chespor en the Stock Exchange. It would almost scew by Mr. Fessenden’s evident dis Position \o increase tne gold bearing debt, tbat be has no cure for the (ulure payment of the interest on {t !u gold; and this cuspicion fs strengthened by the vague fore- Shedowiugs to bis report. Je one part of the latter be says, 1a retereuce tothe specie debt,“The laws authorizing the 4egue of bonds bearing tnterest in coin apseifoaliy pledged the revenxe from customs to the payment of that ‘tmterest, and provided for the collection of those GutMeta the same currency. In the opinion of the Seo- rotary shat pledge should vot be violated; a departure from: could only be vinda d by one of those State ne- ceasitin Wiich fustify a mation t1 1 moorgrily postponing ts odtigations im Wdcr to preserve the power to discharg: prem ai a futu-c day When the pledge was given no ove anticipmed a possible centinuance of the war for such a Jevgtd of time ag would tcvolve the iucreses of the pub- Lio debt to Lbe point tt bas already astaived, or the possi- Die payment of interest in cola to an smount beyond ibe ability of dusiees on) imports to supply.” And yet, with the dancer bere indicated be‘ore him, be goes Om courting “the wery result be himecif foreshadowed, and there would appear to be little doubt ‘Dut Ubat be will con:imue to do so indefinitely if Congress exerts ne restraining power. When Mr. Powenden talks abouts nation being justified in temporarily postpontug lis obligations, be loses sight of that nation’s credit. He g@eoms to be uvawsre that if a nation, no lees tban a Daoker or merchant, fails to hopor ise written promises to pay, that nation’s credit Is gone, and ite securities de- preciate in value acoordingly, A naiion, by postponing the payment of the interest on its. bonds in the manner Silpulaced for in the ori; inal contract with tbe purchaser, expressed on their face, bankrupts isl’, instead of pre- @erves the power to discharge its obijzations at a future by so ‘Treasury was paying specie interest on « specie loan, we should of coarse hive nothing to say against ft; but five or six per cent in gold on loans of currency, worth even Bow less than forty-five cents in specie on the détiar, % excessive, and, in view of the further Geprectation of our paper money, extremely impoiitic, Uf potruiseus. People see ia the Indefinite increase of the goid bearing debt a disregard of keeping the gold obligations of the goverument within the limit of its abiliiy to pay, and the public credit suffers im proportion to the cistrust Suereby Gocasioned. Uaiil we regame specie pay mevts inconvertibie currency loans ‘ought to be relied upon at rates of intere:t equal to te. ducements offered e'sewhere and corresponding with the cepreciation of the paper money, and these should be solid im the open markets to the highest Didders, Aud i i» far better that the price of government bonds should decline to Gfty cents oo ‘the dollar than that the curresey, which underlies everything else, should be depreciated without limit under the reinous policy bitberto pursued, and which if very much longer parsevered 10, will leave the floances Of the country te nearly as bed @ condition as those of the Qiresdy bankrupt South, It is bigh time that our legis- tors awoke to their responsibilities ia this Important particular, and that the !resrury Department hed o bet. ter appreciation of the brink upoa whioh it is tottering.

The only question to decide, therefore, ts the @asetitutiosality of the act of February, 1862, aod aa the letter of the law of July 17, 1561, does not make thom eitber receivable for custons duties or redeemabio in gold, We See DO reason to dispute it, and this view of the case (tbe Secretary of the Treasury bas already offexatly expressed. The govermmen most be just before tt is generous, and tt needs all the gold it receives for cus- tome duties to pay the interest om tts gold bearing bonds. ‘The following was to-day ’s business at the ollice of the Cried States Assistant Treasarer— Re-eipis Payments Ba\anoe te fe for ev 1 celpta inelude for acount of loan, Herevofore the tax paid by the banks of Massachusetts bas lormed no \nconsiderabie part of the revenue of shat Stele, Thix tax last year amounted to $616,000, Uf the one hundred and eighty-tbree banks of the State thirty- four have fied bonds that they have become national Dauks; DO Many of these aro atill taxed because they somporagily ingue their own bivie, Instead of the national orrency, Sefer the loss to the State Bas been only ebout $27,000, As the books, bowever, become fully rgonized under the national law, and issue the nations! currency, the rovenae (rom \uiseource will deorense, and lo tbe coming year probably eense entirely, ‘The Milford Bank, of Mansaébusetts, tas voted to orgaa- irs under the Natioual Baking law, and to increase their eay (| atortr BNO 600, - ‘The agpousl of four and arain io store at Chidago ow 8 hye. 20,349 ‘The folowing table ‘ex ibite the receipts and shipments Of Hour aud graiu at Milwaukee duricg the weeke cading December 17, tp 1863 2d 1864:— Si = 1s63. «1804. 1468 O01 37100 150 1,110 end of 5 per cent, {ree of government tax, payable 8d of January, reserving a surplus of $50,000.
