Review of the Report of the Secretary of
the Treasury—War Debt of the Confcd-
crttcy, tonUnnetl—Sinking Fanil.
NUMBER SEVEN.
•
It has been seen that Mr. Mem ninger esti
mates the annual interest on the war debt of the
Confederacy, down to the 1st of Jnly neat, at
$48,360,000, and the amount of the taxes he
proposes at about $60,000,000 net, imposing on
gross income 10 per cent, and on property 1 per
cent. We have shown that taxes on both in
come and property would be duplicate .taxation.
This could not have been intended by Mr.
Mcmmingcr, for if intended the produce of such
a double tax would amount to nearly one hun
dred millions of dollars, when according to bis
estimate not more was required to be raised
than aixty millions of dollars to pay the annual
intyeat on the war debt. This would be exclu.
•ive of an income tax on professions, salaries
&c. There must be a choice, therefore, between
an income tax and a property tax. A.tax on in
come it the most just and expedient. This
subject cannot, however, be properly viewed uni
less in connection with the whole expenditure
and the entiro fiscal resources of the Confeders
ucy. If we may suppose the duties on imports'
.ions adequate to all the wants of the governs
ment except the payment of the interest on the
debt, we may direct our attention exclusively to
Direct taxation tor the means of discharging
• that interest. But this would preclude us from
the benefit of Esport duties, which would great
ly lighten the burthens of direct taxation. If
such duties could be combined with taxes on in
come it would form the best of financial ars
rangementa under the conditions and limitation*
that will in an after part of this article be sug
gested.
Real estate is now taxed very heavily,
property tax would bear with peculiar hardship
on the agricultural interest. The waste from
war has been extensive, fnd the reparation will
bo alow. Farms and plantations hove been des
olated. Labor in the Sonth has been violently
Jivoiced from the soil, and its productive poW'
era consequently lessened. Besides these cir
cumstances an almost general deterioration in
the value of landed estate, ard the general with
, drawal ot capital with skilled laoor irom agrii
culture have depressed all the interests connec
ted with it. These circumstances have not only
checked improvement, but greatly impaired the
sources of reproduction. UntiLthe recuperative
powers of oor people are in spme degree reator
ed—until their energies are somewhat recalled
from warlike operations to peaceful' pursuits,
only the gradual, increase of taxation should
take place.
And here we.would remark tl.at the burthens
of this wsr should not be made to fall on the
present generation in a disproportionate degree
We have been engaged in a conflict ot two years
duration, of almost unexampled severity and
hardship, for tbe salvation of that independence
and those liberties which are the heritage as
well of posterity as the present generation. In
any fiscal arrangement that may be made the
distributive share in such a con.cm will and
must be disproportionate, but when is taken
into the acoount the physical suffering and men>
tal distress—tho wear and tear of body and mind
—the loss of valuable life—the waste and rav
age of a desolating! war - no pecuniary eati<
mate can balance the benefits and the losses
between the present and future. The prac-
tical deduction from this view is that posterity
should pay a part of tho price for the preserva»
lion of the public liberties with the sovereignly
and independence of these Southern States; and
that such a deferred payment of the principal of
the debt as well not be felt as too great a pres
sure on the resources o( the present generation
is due to justice and equality. To discharge the
public obligations gradual payments and gradu
al taxation should form the basis of any fiscal
arrangements.
Mr. Memminger’s scheme violates these
principles. Ho proposes to discharge the
principal of a debt in a period that will be
found too limited and sadden for the growth
of prosperity, and although he suggests
reduction in the rate of interest from eight to
six per cent, wo havs shown that this is more
apparent than real. The interest and semi
annual payments on account of tho principal
according to Mr. Memminger’s scheme, gill
amount to about aixty millions per annum.—
To liquidate a debt of eight hundred millions
of dollars by semi annuaf instalments, besides
the annual payment of nearly sixty millions
wonld be a more rapid progression of burdens
than has marked the fiscal policy of any
country in similar circumstances. .
Mr. Mcmmiuger approves of ntt principle
of a sinking fund but objects to its adoption
on account of the abuse and misapplication
of which it is susceptible. If increase of
taxation is the price to be paid for a sinking
fund he prefers immediate to future payment—
semi-annual payments to tbe chances of ae
cumulation by compound interest. In con
formity with hiB theory of discharging public
debt he recommends liquidation by semi-an
nual payments. We have spoken of deferred
payments on account of the principal. Let
us explain.
We lay it down as a postulate that there can
be no efficient disobarge of a public debt on
* less money can be obtained at a lower-rate of
interest than the rale at which it was borrow
ed, or what is an i-teatical proposition, unless
the rate of profit is below the rate that pre
vailed when the debt was incurred If
can borrow money in the Conlederate States
at five per cent, to discharge a public debt
Which eight per cent is paid, or if the rate of
interest is eight per cent, or above that rate
in the Confederacy, and we can borrow abroad
at a lea rate than ei$ht per cent, the advan
tage of each an operation will not be qnes-
tionedr Could ws obtain money at Icbs than
eight per cent, it wonld be beneficial to pay
off the wh >le of our publio debt speedily.
If England could borrow money by a fall
in the rate of interest at 2 per cent, per an
num permanently, it wonld be. financially ju
dicious to discharge the whole of her consol
idated debt, which bears three per cent. If
she were, eo converto, to borrow for this pur
pose at more than 8 per oent. she wonld in
crease instead of diminish the publio bur
thens. Bat this is in effect what is every
day done when the rate of profit, and conse
quently the rate bf interest is above the rate
paid for borrowed money by the publio. It
requires no argument to show that if that
portion of the capital of the nation that is
drawn from it in the form of a tax, to form a
fund, to redeem a national debt, yields in
their hands 7 per cent., and it liberates a
publio obligation, carrying 5 per oent, that
is a national loss. The error here is in sup
posing that the sums drawn from the people
by taxes, to constitute a sinking fnnd, are
not as productive in .their hands, and will
not aoonmnlate as rapidly as if placed out at
interest to be compounded. The fall in the
general rale of interest below the rate at which
money has been borrowed for publio use, and
applied to the disobarge of tbe debt, is the
only real sinking fond. All others so called
are mere delusions. When the British gov
ernment paid off the Navy & per cents, in
1828, she acted on this principle. The inter
est of money had fallen to 4 per cent. She
offered to pay off the holders with 4 per cent,
stock, or to accept payment of the principal.
A large majority assented. The dissentients
ware paid off by money borrowed of the Bank
of England at 4 per cent. We have alluded
to a permanent fall in the rate of interest and
of profit. The latter regulates the former,
not at those occasional or exceptional periods
when the money market is disturbed by pe
cuniary pressures and panjes, bnt in the long
ran. Money ie at times in Enrope at 1£ and
2 per cent, as at other periods it is at any price
for which it can be obtained. It is when the
rate of profit declines permanently, carrying
with it the rate of interest, below the rate at
which money has been borrowed for pnblio
uses, that a prudent financier will think of
paying off the publio debt.
Now Jet us apply to our situation these obvi
ous principles; Is money now, or is it probable
to be at a lower rate of interest than we are
paying on our pablio obligation ? Is it not, on
the contrary, likely to be aa high if not higher !
Is there any other part of ti.e world in which
we can obtain money at a less rate of interest
than we are paying on our Confederate debt?—
There is. We can obtain money in England at
5 per cent to pay off engagements at 8 per cent
per annum, by making proper financial arrange
ments. The mode of doing so will be the sub
ject of our next article. C
Oar 6pectal Richmond-Correspondence.
Che fail of New Orleans In Congress—Five Millions of
Dollars for tbe Belief ot Soldiers' families—Editors in
dispensable In conducing tbe War—Important Philo
logical dirnover;—Congress and the General* Assembly
of Virginia, Ac.
Richmond, February 6, 1863.
The fall of New Orleans has, at length, be
come a prominent subject of discussion in the
House of Representatives. Tbe Secretary of
War, in his Annual Report to Congress, having
referred to the matter in terms not tbe most flai
tering to the patriotism and pride of the pe
of that city, Mr. Villere, a member from Louis
iana, took occasion to protest against the lan
guage employed by the Secretary, and, in a most
spirited and eloquent vindication of the people
of New Orleans, intimated that the “feebleness
of resistance” was properly chargeable to inert
ness at Richmond. Thus the matter rested for
some days, when Mr. Barksdale of Mississippi
introduced a resolution calling for all the cor
respondence. by telegraph or mail, on this sub
ject between the authorities at Richmond and
the military and civil authorities of New Or
leans, subsequently extended by another resolu
tion calling for tbe correspondence between
General Lovell and the War Department, and
between the President or the Secretaries of War
and Navy and the Governor of Louisiana on the
subject. The preliminary debate on the intro
duction of these resolution promises an inter
esting discussion, when the whole subjeci comes
before the House, especially as it is announced
by Mr. Barksdale on tbe one side, that the cor
respondence called for will hot only exonerate
the authorities at Richmond from all just cen
sure for that melancholy disaster, but will show
that everything was done, or directed to be done,
that was proper and expedient under the circum
stances ; while, on the other side, Mr. Foote is
pledged to demonstrate “that the same persons
were responsible ftr this terrible catastrophe by
whose criminal want of capacity it had happen
ed that his own home, Nashville, had fallen into
the hands of the enemy.” On these two pro
positions all future controversy in reference to
New Orleans, will turn; hence, I state them in
full, so that the future action of the House on
Mr. Barksdale’s rstolutions may be fully com
prehended, believing at tho same time, however,
that there are other questions more vitally affec
ting the welfare and interests of the Confederacy,
at the present juncture, which should claim
both precedence and pre-eminence at the hands
of Congress. When tbeives and burglars have
entered your house, their capture or expulsion ii
tbe first duty ; how they got in should be con
sidered after you have made proper efforts to put
them out.
Mr. Lyons of Virginia has submitted resolu
tiona proposieg to appropriate five miUins bf
dollars tor tbe relief of the families of noncom
missioned officers andjprivatea now in the army,
or who have died in tbe army, whose necessities
require such relief, to be divided among the
States in proportion to the number of troops
famished by each* and to be paid over to such
officer as the States may respectively designate.
Mr. Conrad’a proposition, heretofore no
ticed, to restrict the privileges of the Press
by the enrolment of editors, was brought be-
fere the Honse on Tuesday last, in a modified
form, so as to exclnde all editors from ex
emption who are not themselves practical
printers. Mr. Conrad said, in delivering
himself of this important modification of his
original teetotal editorial emolument resolu
tion, that he would not object to exempting
printers, because they were trained to a par
ticular art. But it required no training to be
an editor, for “ an editor waa only a writer.”
This is a most important discovery, and it is
to be hoped that, in acknowledgement of the
compliment paid to their craft by the honor
able member from Louisiana, tho printers
throughout the Confederacy, will diffuse
such valuable information as widely as pos
sible. It may save millions of dollars that
are now thrown away upon schools and col
leges, for the art of writing can be acquired
in a few months, and candidates at once qual
ified for the editorial tripod. If Mr. Conrad
wonld only follow op his investigations, and
stumble upon the discovery that “ Statesmen
and Legislators are only talkers,” he wonld
complete the cycle of the occult soienoe and
deserve a monument “perennins ore.” His
resolution was voted down by a majority of
twenty-one.
Mr. Wigfall lias introduced into the Sen
ate a bill regulating tho mode in which im
pressments of private property for publio use
shall bo hereafter made. It provides for just
and prompt remuneration from the govern
ment, and protects the citizen from the wan
ton, oppressive or unnecessary exercise of
this power. All property so impressed is to
be immediately appraised by three or mortf
disinterested oitizens, and if the officer im
pressing deems their appraisement just.and-
fair, he shall endorse approved; if otherwise,
he shall Btill endorse his reasons, and deliver
the paper to the owner for payment‘by the
proper offioer. Wanton, oppressive or unne
cessary impressment is to be tried by any
court having jurisdiction of ordinary tres
pass, and also by Court Martial, and, on con
viction, such officer shall be dismissed from
the servioe. The loose manner in whioh tes
timony has been given before tbe various
Committees of Congress, and especially Com
mittees raised for the investigation of frauds
and corruption having thrown almost insu
perable obstacles in the way of ferreting out
the truth in regard to such matters, Mr. Gar
treil has reported, from tho Judiciary Com
mittee, a bill to punish false swearing, and
for other purposes. This bill will interpose,
it is to be hoped, an effectual bar against such
practices in future, and thus subserve the
publio interest.
The resolutions of the Georgia Legislature,
relative to the misconduct of Quartermasters,
Commissaries and Surgeons, when first pre
sented to the House, were referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs. They have
been reported back, withont any action
thereon, for reference to the War Department,
and the Committee discharged from their
further consideration.
The Supreme Court bill is “still dragging its
slow length” in the Senate. Should wo ever
have two political parties in the Confederate
8tates, their origin will be traced to the dis
cussions on this important measure. The
ablest men we have in the Senate have taken
part, or will participate, in this discussion;
and it is easy, to perceive, from tho ability
and vehemence with which the most irrecon
cilable and antagonistic theories of govern
mental policy have been advocated, that the
neeeleBs of party organization is already
formed and only awaits tho restoratioa of
peace and energetic development. I merely*
siate the fact now apparent to every person
who has attentively followed up this able and
interesting debate.
A very important resolntiou was adopted in
the House, to-day, which will save about sev
enty-five per cent; of tbe time devoted to the
proceedings of that body. It ha* become al
most a practice to introduce bills and resolu
tions with long speeches purporting tQ explain
their object, but in reality intended for the
eats of a respectable old gentleman whom
people call Buncombe. This fellow, whoever
he is, has already occupied a large portion ot.
the present session. He is now, by virtue of
the aforesaid resolution, restricted to an al
lowance of five minutes on all bills and reso
lutions hereafter to besubmittid. This is a
most excellent mqvemet, and I only regret
that, want of time before the mail closes, pre
vents mo from giving to its author’s name the
benefit of your extensive circulation.
The Hftue of -Delegates of Virginia is la
boring over an extortion bill They will,
doubtless, succeed in passing something qfi|that
name, after its extraordinary performance in
the line of sumptuary legislation. ToRacco
is, hereafter, to be raised by legislative rale,
and stocks and pillories, await tbe daring
transgressor who exceeds the number of'‘bills”
fixed by law. In tbe Senate of the General
Assembly, Mr. Collier, of Petersburg has ta
ken strong grounds against guarantying, the
publio debt of the Contederaffiy. Two Stales,
h«- RKitetidt <1, have done so, but they were
• Sti.es isolated from the desolations of war
mat were sweeping over this commonwealth.”
Iu regard to the bill exempting from conscrip
tion all persons who had furnished substitutes,
the Senate and Honse of Delegates have disa
greed and a committee of conference has the
matter now in hand. In Congress, the ques
tion of exemptions ha? not been touched since
the date of my last letter, and the whole mat
ter now stands on the motion to recommit,
with increased chances that that motion will
be defeated—tbe bill passed pretty much as it
came from tbe committee and sent to the
Senate.
Mr. Marshall of your city has made a con
tract with the Government for tbe manufac
ture of Morse’s Breech-Loading Carbiae.—
The President and Secretary of War were
highly pleased with the weapon, and are wil
ling to give it a fair trial. The peculiarity oi
its cartridge, in view of the possible capture
of our ammunition by the enemy, alone pre
vents its more genial use in the army.
