FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Heavy sales of gold by large holders took the “bear”? side. Cash gold became more abun- dant, and it was lent quite as much at a thirty-second as a eixteenth. A purchase by @ private operator of two wuillions from a ‘prominent speculative banker late last pight led to rumors which induced nume- rous sales, under which the ‘price declined early in the afternoon to 14234, after opening at 145};. It subsequently rallied to 1444, however, and closed at 144 a % at half-past five P, M. It was rumored that the shipments to-morrow would be very light, which assisted in depressing the price; but up to four P. M. $750,000 had been booked by two steamers. Although speculation has little material power over the price of gold for a week together, it has shown itself yesterday and to-day in a disturbance of the natural course of the market, The rise yes- torday was assisted by speculation, and to-day spoculation was equally potent *in turning the tide. But whatover fluctuations may attend the market from time to time, its natural fendency is obvious te any one who is conversant with the financial and commercial condition of the country. And this feature of our finances it will takes years to develop, The stock mar- kot sympathized with the decline of gold, and sales to Fealize wore made freely. At tho first board Erie was 1 per cent lower than at the second board yesterday, Wow York Central 34, Hudson 1%, Michi- gen Southern %, Cleveland and Pittsburg %, * Northwestern 3, Rock Island %, Fort Wayne 1%, Cumberland 1.

Money has been in somewhat greater demand to-day, owing to the increase of speculative business. Call | loans -have been made at 526 per cent. First class commercial paper has passed at 7 a 8 per cent. ‘The foreign exchange market has been quiet, but etoady. Leading drawers have asked 110% a % for their sixty days bills, and 110% a111 at short sight. ‘Theve rutes were, however, not fully maintainod in all cases on the street. Mercantile bills are scarce at 109% a %. Some doubt having arison as to the intent of the President's proclamation with regard to its removal of the twenty-five per cent tax on cotton parties here instituted inquiries which resulted in replies from ‘Washington to the effect that the tax in question was femoved by the proclamation. President Johnson's prociamations with regard to the Southern trade would have beon better had they beon more explicit. Mr. Jay Cooke has just caused to be written and pub- ished an article which bears about the same retation to political economy that Baron Munchaugen’s travels do to veritablo narrative. The article in question concludes with this remarkable paragraph :— No! let us accept tho public debt as public wealth, as the bond of political and national union, as the safeguard of industry, as the basis of our banking, as our orphans’ and widows’ fund, The national debt, rightly managed, will be the national blessing It is needless to say that there could be no greater ful- lacy than the belief that public debt is public wealth. It is Kindred to and oqually false with the opposite doc- trine inculcated by a celebrated French revolu- tfonist that ‘‘all property is robbery.” There have been mon, in monarchies of uncertain dura- tion, -who have sought to make believe that ® national debt is a national blessing, not to the poofle, however, but to the rulers, whose dynastic powers were endangered. So far from @ national debt Doing a blessing, it isa curse to any people, It is a mortgage upon their industry, a stumbling block in the way of onterprise, anda clog upon the wheels of both national and individual advancement. A national debt, to be permanent, must be enforted by power, independ- ently of the will of the people, and all such coercion is oppressive. The history of every nation proves a heavy mational debt to have been a drawback to it; and isa national debt any more likely to be a blessing to us than to monarchical Europe? Are the people of the United States any richer or better for the taxes they ‘are now paying? Would it not be more conducive to our intorests to have to pay only half or quarter the taxes wo aro now paying? What taxpayer finds his taxesa Dlessing? And does the fact that our national debt will soon be more than three thousand millions brighten his Prospects at all? The iden of a national debt being a na- tional blessing in any form originated in the assumption ‘that the holders of it would be firm in their loyalty to thoir government, and that a large debt involved an equivalent political support of it, But this power of stockholders to sustain a government is vastly overrated; for their number must necessarily be insig- nificant, in comparison with that of the non- holders of government securities, in any country—and thono last include “the lowes orders’ of society, who fare always the most formidable in revolutionary move- ments. But im this country, where the government stands by the will of the people, a national debt offers no support to its institutions, being merely an encumbrance, and nowhere in the world, it may safely be predicted, will ‘more impatience of the restraints of a permanent ua- tional debt be manifested than here ; for it is antagonistic to our free spirit and the genius of our institutions. When the writer of the article referred to tells us that ach of the five reat Powers of the world have a perma. | Noent national debt, and points to them to sustain his thoory, he draws false conclusions from the influence of their dobt upon thir history, and falls into errors that Aro positively ludicrous, ax witness the following :— Tt was not the industry, persistency and frugality of the British people—it was not their insular position—it was not their coals nor their iron stone—that gave them supremacy on the ocean and in the money markets and trading exchanges of both hemispheres, Their insular was against them. Their limited inland terr - was unfavorable to empire. and thoir climate made them dependent upon other countries for their bread. They became supreme as merohanta, manufacturers and money-lenders, simply because tet se national raed added four thousand millions of capital to their ly acquired wealth, and simp! because this vast fatusion of wealth, ‘which had every business virtne of standard coin, spurred the industry of the island, developed its mineral resources, invented and in motion a vast mass of machinery which spun, ‘wove and hammered for the world, undersold the world, ‘and sent the world to London to pay debt and to borrow gmoney. What place among the cities of the world would pot a anent Amgrican debt of four thousand millions ive Now York? So England's greatness is owing to her enormous na. tional debt, and New York would be a great city if we only bad a debt equally large! The writing of this kind Pf nonsense may help to pay tho board billa of the em- Their want of space | practical purpose. The debt we have acoumulated was the necessary re- of war we sthorefore, our ouly sidebars vol ipo tre 30 ‘| far as the war is) ¢on it) wae) worth” 7 | all that ft cost ; but it leawge up*saddied with @ burden ‘Whderwhich thé people already bogin to chafe, and which we have not yet fully folt. : The precious article with which we are dealing goes on to say that our national debt is so much added to our national wealth in this wise:— ‘The funded debt of the United States is the addition of $3,000,000,000 to the previously realized wealth of the nation. It is $3,000,000,000 added to its ava'table active ‘To pay this debt would be to extinguish this capital: and torlose this wealth. ‘To oxtingutah this capl- and lose this Wealth would be an inconceivably great national misfortune. This, our national war debt, should be held forever in place as the political tie of ' the States aud the bond forever of a fraternal nationality. It will sive a common interest. in the Union that nothing elso can give, | Ib will impart to a cop between thirty-five millions of ple the unity of focling arising from a community of interest in a copartnership of $3,000,000,000. Tied to the Union by the Union debt, nor West rn States, nor Southern States—States beyond the Rocky Moon- tains, nor States by the Atlantic. sea—States that plant, nor States that weave—States that mine, nor States smelt and hammer—can ever find inducements in aec- tional interests to draw asunder from each other. We recommend the writer to read “The Woalth of Nations,” by Adam Smith, and Alison's ‘History of Europe” at least, before he essays another similar oxploit in politico-economie science. But each succeeding para- graph deems'to outvie the ‘reat in absurdity. Thus we are told that the jegue of thie National bank notes is at prosent restricted to three hundred millions; “but no man,” says this long-sighted @nancior, “‘will say that that volume of currency is enough for the coming wants of the nation. This is not @ hazardous opinion which declares that in less than twenty yoars our national bank note circulation will be one thousand millions of dollars.’” ‘This is advocating the paper money theory and the national bank system with a vengeance, and if such ar- guments are inspired by the government, a8 some sup- pose they may be, coming as they do from a semi-official source, they are likely to lead to a very unfavorable opinion of the financial intelligence whigh is enthroned at Washington. Articles of this kind, @hile thoy cannot benefit the public credit, are certainly Calculated, in #0 far ag they have any influence whatever, to do it harm. Govornor Pierpoint, of Virginia, has issued the follow- ing proclamation with regard to the banks thers: — Tux Coumonweautu ov Vinainta, Executive Devartmet, Ricumoxp, June 6, 1565. : Under the provisions’ of section forty-five, chapter fifty-eight, of the code of Virginia, I have appointed the following citizeng of the commonwealth as commis- sionors, namely :—Charles Palmor and Horrace 1. Kent, of Richmond, ‘and Lewis McKonzie, of Alexandria, to whom all tho officers, or those having charge of the assets of the different banks and branches of the State, as well ag the independent banks organized under the laws of Vireinia, shall roport without delay the condition of said banks, setting forth the capital, circulation and de- scription of the notes on hand, deposits, specie on hand, and where depesited; bills receivable, foreign and domes- tic; bills of exchange, notes on other banks, and names thereof; stocks and bonds, and a description thereof, and where deposited; real estate, and value thereof; amount due other banks, and the names thereof; and, in fact, a [mee full statement of the affairs and condition of 0 The commissioners above named will fix an early day, as soon as the reports are reccived, for exchanging the notes on hand by the banks, with a view of reducing the circulation of tho State. To this end it is expected that no sale or disposition of the notes be made. Prompt action on: the part of the banks and commis- stoners is necessary, from the fact that heavy tax is im- posed by the United States on all circulation outstanding, whether employéd or not, D F. & PIERPOINT, Governor.

Brown, Appellant, vs. Chrisiopher W. Wood- Tuff, Respmdent—Thip cage has beon for hearing befors the Oourt of Appoala, On the 34 day of May, 1850, the relator was appointed by Robert T. Haws, then Comp- troller of the city of New York, to tue office of Commis- sioner of Taxes and Assesament for said county and city of New York. On the Sth of May, 1864, Matthew T. Brennan, then Comptrotier, appointed defendant to the office of Tax Commissioner. On the same day Jonathan 'W. Alien was reappointed by asid Comptroller to said office, and George H. Purserin place of Amor J. Wil- Namson as such Commissioner of Taxes, The Justice charged the jury in favor of defendant, anda verdict was given accordingly at general term. The case has now come before the Court of Appeals. Tho material question for the consideration of the court was as to the validity and legality of the appointment of the defendant | by the Comptroller of the City of New York on the 6th day of May, 1864, the relator having been duly appointed to said office on the 3d of May, 1850, thenceforth holding and exerciseng all its offices. Tho 18th section of the Aogislative act authorized the Board of Supervisors to ap- point three persons as tax commissioners, who were re- spectively to hold office until December 31, 1851, Decem- ber 31, 1862, and December 31, 2853, according to classifi. cation, 1% was the duty.of the Board ot Supervisors to. make @ similar appointment for the following there years, within thirty days- previous to the ‘expiration of thie term of office of said commissioners. In 1857 another act was passed declaring that tn the city of Now York there should continue to be three tax commissioners; it also declared that the persona then holding office should continue to do so until the first Monday of July, 1859. Before this act came into operation a new act was passed empowering the Comptroller to form a new board of commissioners, who should hold office for the period of five years. hier ron Cr as boy act Px: re- the act . conformity witlrthe pethortty conferred by this the then id tho city of New York, Robort T.

By the oxpress terms the act his term, of office was for the period of five years, or until the 3d day of vs * 8 @ a’ ‘The learned Chancellor and the Suprome Court were of opinion that ‘an office tannot be said to be vacant while any person is authorized to act in it and does so act.” The office of Tax Commissioner, filled by the retater prior to May 5, 1864, was not vacant, juently there was no vacancy to be filled by the Comptroller. The learned Tudge fully stated all the legal points relative to the case. Subjoined are a few extracts from) his argument:— Happily, in the present instance, we are not forced to resort to the field of speculation or conjecture of legisla- tive intent, to obviate the anticipated evils which havo been su; would result from holding that this power of appointment of these officors was not exhausted by the Comptrollor with the offlux of the period of five mentioned in tho act of 1859. Tho office of Tax Com. missioner was created by law, after the adoption of the constitution of 1846. It was therefore competent for the Legislature to declare the mannor of the appointment, either through the agency of an election by the people or by appointment by any authority, either local or general, or by tho Legislature itself, as it might deom. just and proper; and the Legislature might, in like manner, change from time to time the mode of appointment or election. * * s . * * The Logislature might well have been satisfied to con- tinue in office the appointees of the Comptroller made under the-act of 1869, and the absence of any further leg- islation prescribing a mode for making new appointments flows Unmistekably an. intont om tho part of the should @o continue until the ing power then authorized to act long a8 they continued to act, and were competent to.act, the public interest would suffer no injury—nay, even the jature inay posed that it would be best - tion of experienced officers in the discharge of the penny, important duties of this office. It Capa eg 1 to. de seen that the laws, as.thon in oxii {vlly provided for the continuance of the board, and the complete and active yor ee yr of all ite funotiona No further legislation wag called for, i€ the Legislature did not desire to. change the incumbents of these offices, unless it was to fills vacancy which might ariso from muerated. Dut every opal : jut every cont fully met and provided for section 4, of article 1 (1 Rev. Stat., 5th ed., p. 408), whicn seams, in the discus- sions of this question in the Supreme Court, to have en- tirely escapod observation. It is in these words:—‘‘Every officers, the mode of whose appointment is not proscribed by the ‘constitution, of is not or shall not be prescribed by law, shall be nominated by the Governor and ap- int by him, with the consont of the Senate.” 080 officers fall within the purviow of this section, and thorefore adequate provision was made by law for their. reappointment upon the oxpira- tion of their term of office, or the filling of any vacancies in their number after tho Comptrol ler's power to fill the samo was oxhausted, or for the appointment of their successors if the appointing power thought proper to change the incumbents. There is no occasion, therefore, to resort to any strained, unnatural or forced construction of the act of 1859, to confer by implication upon the Comptroller power not vested in him by the terms of the act, to provent any of the ap- prehended gg ie pdr mbt etre It bers competent for the Legislature to authorize the appoin mont of these officers in tho first instance by the Governor and Senate, and if tho Legislature had omitted to prescribe any mode for their appoint. ment originally, or the mode which thoy did prescribe became exhausted, or otherwise inap- Propriate, this gonoral provision of law, which was intended to meet all cases, would have been ample for this contingency. Where the mode of a) jntment was not, or should not be prescribed by law, this source of appointment can be invoked properly as the modo of appointment of these officers; and it also can be done where the mode prescribed law shall have been ox- hausted or ceased to be applicable. It is not denied the lature, in terms, prescribed the modo of ment of these officers for the term of five years only ; bi it ts urged that they must have intended to have con- tinued the same mode in the absence of any other provi- sion for a further or continuous appointment. It is seen that the quotation from the Revised Statutes, just made, entirely overthrows this ment by the fact amode of appointment exists is provided for which meets the exigency and reHeves the question from all embar- the con- firmation of the reforoe the said relator have judgmont for amount so found due, with costs of this action. ‘Court of Appeals.
