Nothing new was elicited on the trial, and the case Was disnissed. = A few davs since Nergeant Robinson of the Twentysixth Pre. oinot received information that a piece of the stolen silk was then in the trunk of Van Varick, at the residence of his mother-in-law, in the Fifth Ward, he having boarded there for & of the robbery.

Tho unpaid taxes of the Robellions States, and the batter workings of the Reventa law, will bring to the Government dering the next fisonl year over One Hundred Million of dol- lars in wddition to the reveuue now obt States, which, for the preseut year, aro estimated st Five 1ons. A tax of five (5) cents per pound upon this cotton would $40,000,000; which, in addition to the $100.0%,000 just wonld cost Two Hondred and Fifty Mitons, Tuis cotton tax would soon pay all legal elaims of Union men in the South or elsewhere who have suffered lossss ocoa- #ioned by tie Rebeilion; and ia five yoars time would aid in ox- tinguisking our Natfoual Debt at the rate of fifty millions s year. This Is a subject worthy the consideration of Mr. Wells, during our passsgo througl ** the critical financial period.” 1t would also bave & tendeucy to make a goodly portionof tials debt fall where It properly belongs, and at the same time render aid to the loyal men who knew no sacrifice too great when the Uniou was in dauger of being subvorted to the fo- tercats of that class who so valiantly glerified *Cotion as King.” The cost of equalizing the boantiss has bean a subjaot of rosourcos; henoe, any comparlson of revenuo syatems of European powers is distasteful aud unbeooming an Amorioan, when Lis saggestions proffer their oxperionce as a guide for us, decnased oame forward | espeoially whon we realiaq tat the rulers constitute the Govern- monk tn ono onso and the *peoplo " the Governmons in the other, And, as we draw vory lightly upon the Old World for Ioasons In the advancements of Civllization, Art, Soienoes, Moohantoal and Agricultural pursuits, 1t is useless for me to say that our fluancial success, during all our great struggles for national existence, has astounded the fiuaneial world, and it would provoke & amile from England even were we to-day willing to confess that the Government bad reuosted David A. Wolls to announce that, beoauso Kugland never realized but $375,000,000 in one ysar as a rovenue upon the eapital and industry of that country, that if we continue to draw from the wealth of this nation $340,000,000, devastating fiuanoial ruin would onsuo before we Liad completed our passage through the * oritical financlal period.” Mr. Wells indioates that, during the noxt fisoal year, o large falliug off of revenae will ocour, arisiug from ** dimiuished fm- portations,” **changos in velue,” “ deoroase of production,” &o., &o. Now, this is a mere unwarranted assertion, with ry evidonco of proof to the contrary.

T am thankful to Mr. Wells for his remark. ** that nothing but the sslvation of the nation iteelf could warrant any fmm diate tacrease of the Natioual liabilities, or the people's tazes.” Did the moa whom th bouaty bill {ntends to benefis sace thiy nationt or was it the Treasury Department ! ‘Was the woalth of the Nation taxed as heavily as the blood of ita patriots t Had it beon necessary, Mr. Wells and every other good citisen would have sdvooated the expenditare of $5,000,000,000, in adlition to the preseut debt, to have pre served our Nationality. Is it gratitude then to tarn our backs apon the Nation's proservers because they ended the Rebellion at the time they Aid ¢ Mast we forget them because peace has removed tue horrors of wart or Fifase 1o idlos, the 101t 10 the maimad she widowwd. and the unemployed thousauds of freedom's Boblest sons, be 0ause one man would achleve o financial record which ke would enjoy more than the oxpressed gratitude of grateful people’t Not a single remonstrance has ever been received in the Halls of Congress against this bill unless signed by two Goy- | arument officials, whose labors are devoted for an lucrease of their own rank, with corresponding ingrease of pay. May the Lord Lave mercy upon the vaulte of our Treasury whoo such men arv its self-constituted guardians! No other country can equal our prosparity or liberality as s people, and in “no other country are inland revenues and customs duties as Hght as they aro in this. Asarule, the rates of excise dutiea—such as stamps, liconses. aund all advalorem taxes—are o much higher than ours that, ina mujority of coses, the minimaw: forelgn tax is greater than the maximum tax levied by the United States in the samo case or ocases; and this rulo 1s nearly as generally applicable to taxes accruiog from custome.” Our exponditures «s well will compare more favorably with those of any foreign Government. “The Ausirian land tax amounts to 16 per cent on the net products of all the land in the Empire, exolusive of the * Con- sumption,” ' House-rent” and * Income Taxes;' and there is 10 foreign Goverument to-day that can be named by Secretary McCullooh or his adviser, Mr. Wells, whose Government taxes are not in excess of those of the United States. Our people are 100 brave to be frightensd by these stories of “exorbitant taxes” and “lusurmountable debt,” or that are passing through a * critieal financial period.” At the close of the Rebellion, our estimated expenses were about 000,000 per day. Does the Secretary or Mr. Weils st would exceed the entire sum necessary 1o oqualize the bonatiest It would seew so.

Mr. McCaliooh in his lester, as poblished 1n The Wash- ington Republican, says it will cost 8250,000,000 or $309,000,000; and fn the same letter, aa furnished to the New-York prese, hio reduces his opinion $30,000.000, but does not reduce uis esti- mate of interost to be raised annually, He, perbaps, oan ex- plain this more readily than myself; and as 50,000,000 is quite au item during a “eritical fiunncial period,” it dessrves bis at- tention. 1 have made the subject of cost to equalize the Government bounties o speciaity, and assame nothing when I assert that I have devoted more time and means to asoertain the true cost than any offictal or otker person in the country. I have songht and securod statistios from every buresu in connection with it, aud pabiisted my statoments and statistics to the world, and received the satisfaction et least of knowing that I had ex- posed Gen. Fry's Incompetency to give a corrsot answer to any question that involved the uses of the multiplioation table. Gen. Fry assorted that it would cost $084,000,000: Ihave shown that it would cost only §136,000,000, The Secretary of the Treasury used this statement of Gen. Fry during bis early op- position to the bill as an argument sgaiust its passage at this time; and I remark, with tho anthority of & very able and fa- fluential member of Congress, that the Heeretary intimated that if the cost to *equalize” the bounties would not exceed two bundred millions of dollars, it would occasion no serious embarrsssment to the country's finances; aud, under such oir- onmstances, all its requirements could bo met without the aid of aloss. ‘Why this sudden chango of opinion when the cost is reduood beceach the figures stated t Ls it the result of a greater change of polloy in other quarters that partake more of a political than finanoiai charactert Lot the Beoretary answer. Bat how aro the figures mads to reach two hundred milllons, even by the mathematios of the Provost-Marshal and Pay- master-Gouoral. They include isgtheir ostimate all men wn- paid, who are now provided by Law forkthe payment of theas bountics ; ond by sach unfair moaus they endeavor to swek the cost even bayond the figures I have mentioned, as Gen. Fay makes no deduction for causes well known to every department by uames of disobarge prior to expiration of term of servios, de- sortions, excess of credits, transfers, &e., &c. Every dollar beyond ono bundred and thirty-six millions would be paid by the (Government whether this bill passes or not, for all the new mon, aa they are termed, are fully provided for by law, and the proposed act will not basafit them one dollar, only i the adjust- ment of thelr accousts, a4 1t is intendod to limit the foes of at tornays. 1 challengs thess ** Treasury Guardians” tosubmit a table of 008t to the people or to Congross.

It is all gemmon. Certainly, not a dollar would be required for interest before Septetber, 187, and then only sufficient to meet the payment of tnterest dule at that date, aa it is proposed to lssue bouds to the soldiors; aud I prosnme that they, s & clase are as potriotic as eny other, end woald seek no higher intorest than other peopie upon the Government's indebtedness to them. Uuless there should be & marked improvament in the manage- ment of eur present pay department, ocrtaluly not over 840,000,000 of these bonds would be paid the first year; so that, {nstead of requiring 815,000,000 or $1£,000,000 for interest in currency, it would only require 3,000,000 for the first yoar's payment, and none of that dua until September, 1867. The Pay Department (Gen. Brice), assisted by Gen. Fry, lo- alst that not half of the money voted will ever reach the soldls In answer to this, I quote a section of Mr. Julian's bill, now before the House, which {s sufficlently explicit to set at rest all wuch idle asse:tions: 0. 5. And be it further enacted, That, whenever applioation e made by any eisimant through an attorney, the claim- aut stall furnish bis Post-Ofice address, givin name of e connty end Stave 1o which it ia situsted, ate amount of commission or fees whick the sttorney is to receive for bis services 1 the settiement of the claim; whiok in noone sumof 810. The Paymaster-Ge; amonnt due,shall eause to be trams- ch claimant the full emouns thereof, keas tho feed to be ttorney: which sball be paid in person or trass- L address as the attorney may direct.” - The money goes direct to the the soldier, the fee to the attor- ney; and, if fraud occurs, it must have its origin in the Pay Department. Ttis, certainly, should convizce any person who is willing to be couvinced, that the law is intended to and will benefit ouly the soldier (or his lawful heirs) who has claims un- der it Anotber grave charge by these same energetio minds is that the discbarges of the sdldiers have been bought by speculs- tors, who are claim agents. 1 will Just quote the law upon that subject as & sufliclent an- swer. Here Is the law as eusoted by Congress July 29, 1844, and February 26, 1852, ‘The former sct provides * that whesever & claim agalnst the TUnited States shall hereafter be allowed by & resolution or act of Congress, the money directed to be pald shall not be paid to ary person but the eiaimant or his executors and adminis- trators, unless such parsons shall produce a power-of attorney oxecuted after the enactment of the sct, and exprossly reoiting the amount allowed tlereby, attested by two wituesses and acknowledged in the proper form." The latter act provides " that all transfers and assignments Berealter made of any claim upen the United Biates, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, shall be absolutely null and void, unless the ssme ahall be freely made and executed Defore two witvesses, after the allowance of such claim, the ascer- tainment of the emousnt dur, and the dsaning of o warrant for the poyment thereof." 8o it will be readily seen thst the sale of & discharge paper would be but an idle ceremony, and of no force whatever. A “discharge” paper s simply the evidence that the person pamed o 1t Las served for auch a time in the United Btates service, sud will ot of itaelf sustain @ claim for eicher bounty or arrears of pay. The laws 1 have just quoted are very plain and decistve In their intent; and it will be as readily observed that, If any class of speculators have purchased these dischazge papery with & view of realizing benefits therefrom, or {f they bave trified with the necessities of the soldier and obtained them by mek- {ng sdvances, it is not In the power of the speculator to obtain one single dollar tpon them until after the soldier receives the money in s own Lands, No person can obtain it but the soidier or sailor for whom it Ju intended, if the Departments perfarm their duties properly; and, if fraud stould ocour, the Departments are responsible 101 specalator caunot colleot with the disolarge paper; while the soldier can collect upon his own spplication, properly at- tented, wichout the fling of bis dlscharge; as tho evideuce of Tis service is kept also in the War Department, and is obtain- able at any time for Lis assistance i the collection of a claim. Another objeetion is urged that i8 will require five yoars to wottle the deceassd men's acoounts now in the Second Auditor's office, without the addition of elaims that would arise by the passage of this sot, This was s fatal Nank movement whoen the Seoretary permitted this statbment to be urged over the wires.

The woldier will willingly aceept tais monsy when paid in bonds, aad the increased prosperity of the couniry, as I have shown, will maet all the requirements for interest when due.

Every indication now tends toward an tucreased prosperity; far boyond the bistory of the past. The wealth of the loyal States from 1850 to 1860 {noreased about 125 per cend. It will excoed that ratio tor the ten years ending in 1870, The tncrease of wealth reduces our debt by lessening the ratio of tazatlon. “1f in 1816 the debt of England was sa inoumbrance of @414 upon .every hundred of the value of the three kingdoms, but now osly 818 34 ou the hundred, thongh it stands i pound sterling within & trifle of iss Lighest Bgure,” if the Inorease of wealth ocoasioned this, what will be the effect on our debt?
