1 bis is a very’ impoitant question, and one
about which patriotic and wise men may
differ. The greaf, and almost the only ar
gument in favor of the measure, is the be
lief, that the State endorsement is neces
sary’to sustain the credit of the Confeder
ate currency. But when we come to ex
amine the grounds of this opinion we shall
find it without foundation. The whole
property of every’ individual in the Con
federacy is already pledged to the pay
ment of these bonds, and Congress has un
limited power to reach this property by’
taxation, and the States l»y their endorse
ment can only’ pledge what was already
pledged and subject to'tlic debt before*;
and wo think it is unreasonable to suppose
that a State endorsement under these cir
cumstances, would advance their credit

not needodt nor will it increase their value.
It is not endorsements that will sustain
our credit, but taxes-to provide means for
payment. If Congress would impose a
tax sufficient to pay tlie interest on our
bonds and provide a sinking fund for their
ultimate redemption, the world would see
that we intended to pay our debts and our
credit would immediately rise. It is not
endorsements that will give confidence
and raise the value of our Confederate cur
rency, for all of our property is already
pledged ; but it is some certain indication
that wo intonil to pay both interest and
principal. But there is another difficulty
almost sure to follow State endorsement.
Congress then might avoid the responsi-
abilify of imposing taxes to pay our debt
and turn that disagreeable business over
to the State Legislature, and as these Leg
islators had no hand in making the debt,
they might thiuk they were not in honor
bonnd to pay it. What has been done
might be done again. Some ot the Con
federate States have in days past repudia-
aied their own bonds. Might we not iear
that when the day of payment come and
taxes pressed very heavily, some State
Legislatures might repudiate the paper an
other Legislature had endorsed? We are
not in favor of repudiation, but we fear
greatly if it is left to the State Legisla
tures some of them will dodge the respon
sibility f oimposing heavy taxes, by repu
diation. We are in favor of Congress, the
body which made the debt, providing the
means for payment. In this way there
will be no chance for any State to*void
paying her share, for Congress will not
act through State Legislatures, but can
tax every individual citizen of each State,
and this is tlie only fair and legitimate
plan for sustaining our credit and paying
our debts. •

“There arc no Tears ia IlraTCa.”
I met a child, his feet was bare,
His weak frame shivered with thdcold,
His youthful brow was knit with care.
His flashing eye his sorrow told.
Said I, “poor boy why weepest thou?”
“My parents both are deao,’’ he said;
“I have not where to lay my head:
O, I am lone and friendless now!"
Not -friendless, child; a Friend on high
For you Ins precious blood has given; •
Cheer up, and bid each tear be dry,—
“There are no tears in Heaven."
I saw a man in life’s gay noon, ,
Stand weeping o’er his young bride's bier:
“And must we'part," he cried, “so soon!”
As down his cheeks theie rolled a tear;
- ‘ Heart stricken one,” said I, “weep not
“Weep not!" in accents wild he cried,
“But yesterday my loved one died
And shall she bo so soon forgot.'!’
Forgotten! No! still let her love
Sustaiu thy heart with anguish riven;
gtriev thou to meet thy biide above,
And dry your tears in Heaven.
