REPORT OK TUB SXIXUCTAHT OK TIIK
rmum'BT.
We have oa.-efuily read aod re-read Mr.
Memminger's report, end with an earnest de
sire to be satisfied that his proposed measures
would benefit the country, save the public
credit, restore confidence, reduce price*, re
duce expenditure- hy Qovernrnent, aud insure
ultimate payment of the debt But we must
Wmlidly con ess that, in our judgment, the
propped policy, if adopted, will prove worse
than abortive, that it will benefit nobody but
the present holders of currency, will ruin the
agricultural class, the real backbone and sin
ews oi the t'onlfderucv, will couccutralc the
property of the eouutry in a lew hands, anil
will re-ult at last in inevitable repudiation.
Mr. M>-mminger teems, and doubtless is pei
fectly confident that his measures will prove »
see css ; but so also did be think two year
ago ol the tirat financial plan, which fai id. us
is now admitted, because we had miscalculated
the necessities of the outside world and the
effective r.eor ol the blockade; and twelve
months ago ho was equally confident of t In.
solutpry and saving effects of his co übined
fundiigand taxiug scheme. The Secretary
admits u e.v, as everybody does, that unless u
remedy lor our present couditiou be spetdily
found the whole financial bubble wilt burst.
The mns a res proposed by the Secretary
differ somewhat from those proposed by the
Augusta Bank Convention, and ut first sight
may appear more plausible, became they pro
pose heavier taxation, the taxes to be paid
only one half in coin or coupons, the other
ha.f in new currency. The whole debt except
the foreign ioun, will stand übrmtas follows on
the Ist of January next: Fundel dt bt, §3sb.
000,000, general currency, §693,000,000 two
years notes, §8,500,000, interest notes, $123-
000,000, small bills, §0,000,000, five per cent
«ii 10ur..?, §20,1)00,000, total, §1,213,600.000,
all bearing upon a population of less than
five millions ol whites, shot out from the
inarkcls ol lb • world, and denied by law and
|i_, fict of the power t > accumulate wealth in
the u mil way Irani the soil. To remedy so i
nuumulous and so Icuriii! a condition, Mt :
Meinuiingcr proposes a grand consolidated j
loan of a thousand millions of six [Mir cent,
bonds, payable in twenty years, to be increased
(torn time to tuuc; the inferred funding, wit' - j
ta the coming three months, of ail outs'.imi- j
cur* ncy, except small bills in this co> ol- !

and lastly a pledge of this five per cent, tax
till an enumeration cau be made, atsd then an
apportioned lax, aud after the war u tax o 1
ten per cent, ou exports for twenty years, and
also ten per oeut. on imports. This is an not
lme of ihe general plan. To secure piompt
reduction ot the currency it is proposed to ex
empt Irom the whole tax, for the first year, all
amounts paid in to tbs loan iu January, troni
h If the tax such amounts as may be paid in
February, aud from oue-fourth tin) « i such
sums as shall e paid iu March

BOiU tun wuole outstanding debt by the let ul
Ayrd, except the old bouds, the 7 30 notes,
tue dual! bills, and perhaps the live per cent,
call 10-iis —say seveu hundred millions. Ilie
rein-iu.ug ihree hundred millions, designed to
tarry on the Uoverumeut, we think wih
scarcely be ohid at all, for aieo will not be apt
to invest anything in these bonds beyond what
they are ijrood to invest, that is, they will
Hat puicuase them with aoythiqg but tLe
paper which, ii' not used in that way, can noi
oe used at all. So that within sixty d.y
aoui Ist April, a portion ol the new earn;
must oe .creed into boo is, or else the pledgi
that notes shall not exeeed two bundled luti
iious oaunot be kept. On the Ist o! April
Uu uv.t will be fourteen hundred miUiuus—
&ioo Übd.OUO bonds at an average oi
more than seven and a half per cent, interest
3700,000,000 in new six per cents., 3122,000
000 in seven-thirties, 8200,OW),000 in uou
eurreoev, and 840,000, 0 id call loans, two
years’ notes and Sunil bills. Aftoi the con
traction shall have been accomplished the
S.-creUry thinks the expenses may not ex
ceed 833,000,000 a month, or $300,000,000 to
the close of 1864, by which time the debt
nuder the most favorable circumstance-, will
be $1,700,000, • ,a snm that no reasonable
man can expect to see paid, ncceasHittiue us it
w,\! a tax nearly equal to the whole mi: in
come a Ihe country after the war for many
years, ]! the tor continues to the spring of
1869 end we ought to our calcula ion?
tor that period of time, then the debt, under
this plan, will be at least $5,300,000,000, which
can not be paid
The hist eflect cf the adoption of such a
» measuTe, would be a general rash to get rid
wl Treasury notes, in aly way except bv ia- :
vesting in bonds. Holders will seek to' loan
their notes to credulous property holders, or to
invest in lands, products, and other property.
Price* will at once rise, 6e*anse people
i not want to sell anytfcing for notes which now
pass as currency, anti depreciated as they are,
. still answer all the purposes of trade, pay
i debts and taxes and buy property, bat which
in their results aiustloeeali that power, and
: become converted iutu bonds, wholly unsalea
! ole at any price, because all will have as
much as they desire, and a great deal more,
and the coupons of which, though nominally
; equivalent to gold, can not become currency,
I nor be of any use except to pay taxes. Con
i fidence will be lost, rather tlrn restored, for
men will be constrained to beiit ve the debt
wiii never be paid, aud that really there is no
design in this measure to p iy debt, but simp
ly to keep the currency icdac. 1. and thus pre
vent cnormoas aud constancy augmented in
flation, and to enable holders of old currency
to get rid of It by loaning to the agricultur
ists. Men will not sell either their property
or their products at aoy price, in currency
which must go into bouds that will probably
never be redeemed, until compelled, and that
compulsion can not come till Jnly, and then
a general revolt of tho property holders.
The country, we think, can scarcely bear an
a<l udvrem five per cent, tax, pays hie as this
tax must be, lor the property of the country
can scarcely produce five per cent, iu currency t
while half the tax must be paid in coin or its
so-cnllcd equivak'nt. Alter the severe con- ;
traction proposed shall have been eonsumma- !
ted, and the circulation is reduced to two huu
...cd millions, prloos ought to tail, and would
eertaiiiy.if there were any basis for reasona
ble confidence. But it matters little how much
I he currency is reduced, hile the debt in
creases, and the resources for payment arc mi
ll* fined and doubtful. We must reduce both
debt and currency at once, or the financial
system will fail. An equal ad valorem tux is
a delusion—is wholly nngnited to our present
condition. Equality is one great humbug.—
What we Cecil is not au equal, but un cquila
aUe and tolerable tax, nnd one that will
yield a large revenue,and still not injure any
interest. Five per cent, payable in currency,
even at present prices, is very severe, but pay
able one half in coupons ol the consolida'ed
six per cents., is outrageous and intolerable,
and yet it does uot yield any considerable
revenue. The agriculturist can ill bear live
per cent., while many others can belter afford
to pay re i, t uuty, or fifty per cent. It is
nothing hut justice that those who „avo made
money, as it is called, by the war, without
adding to the real wealth of the country,
should bear their proper proportion of the
burden, and lenllythey will be benefit ted by it
severe tax on themselves,which shall also claim
Crcm other cl isses a proper tax. if a large
part o! the debt can now be paid, us wo be
b ve it can, nnd without great hardship, thus
| reducing tiro currency and the debt at the
! -nine time, aud restoring confidence by get.
! ting the debt wititiu manageable bounds,
those who lnvo uinassed currency will be,
bent-fitted, because its value can and its pur
chasing power will be enhanced. But ii sim- j
jile reduction of currency by a process which
j [lays no debt, und which can not possibly give !
| confidence for tiro reason, that it docs not
plate the debt wb'ro it can be handled, can
in 1 increase the power of the present or any
new eurrency, *u*i>.m... -
flunk currency.
Mr. Merominger intimates that his live pr
cent, tax will yield one hundred and twenty ;
millions, one half payable iu coupons, to lie
1 applied to paying interest, and the other half
payable in new currency, to be applied to re
mit daily expenditures. At present privies
live per cent, on the property of Georgia alone
will yield seventy millions, und yet this prop
erty does not yield so much ; amt besides the
State will levy ono per cent, on fourteen mil
[101)1, and if prices collapse by April, when
the State returns must be made, one per cent,
may not yield six millions, aud eight millions
of appropriations must be mot by State
Treasury notes.
The man that owns one hundred thou.-aud
dolurs wort i ol land, negrowaad livestock—
ucttiul property—must, under Mr. Mcmmin
ger's scheme, pay five thousand dollars tax,
the hilf of which, payab'e iu coupons, will
require him to invest nearly iorty-two thou
sand dollars in consolidate i bonds, or else pay
twenty-five per cent.-premium lor coupons, or
twenty-five per cent, additional in Treasury
notes, thus making his tax $5,62.7 in curren
cy. In nine cases out of ten he never has live
thousand d dims in Treasury notes, an 1 lie
will not invest his forty-two thousand dollars
in bonds which lie cannot sell, and which will
answer no purpose bat to save him six hun
dred and twenty-five dollars in taxes. -Vs a
rule, he will buy bonds only with that amount
of notes he happens to be caught with when
the bill passes, or with only so madias he cin
! not by some means get rid of by April. ITe
would be estremely foolish to sell his proper
ty for notes to inve-t iu bonds whereby to pay
tuxes, or to borrow forty-two thousand do : -
•irs for the same purpose, which he must
j some day pay in gold, paying inter** f to -be
leuder meanwhile, when be can avoid both by
paying six hundred aud tw.uty-five dollars
extra tax, iu additiou to his five thous .ud,
hard as the t x would bo to nay. Consequent
ly. the only iuvestors in the propos'd bonds
I will lie those who have snrreucy uud oaunot
get rid of it, which will not be the faimers
and planters, who have bnt sm .11 amounts
and will not seek to increase them. The man
who has nothing but a huudrsd thousand in
Treasury notes must invest Ms all in bonds,
unless lie can previously invest in property or J
loan to individuals, and for the first year get, j
at best, six thousand dollars in coupons ex- !
empkiroin taxes, and forever alter, as long as !
he gets. nything, must take six thousand do!- j
lars in these coupons and pay back fivp thou !
sand dollars in taxes, the bonds meanwhile nn j
saleable, because everybody has them that
, j wants them, J.he coupons worthless at curren
‘ j ey, gnd sue thoc* ml of them oob at best ca
pable of yielding him twelve bandit 1 ami fifty
, dollars
We sincerely believe that the system, if
i adepte t must fail, and that it will cause eon
-1 fusion distrust, loss of confidence, aud finally
. i repudiation, and that the people will not sub
-3 mit to it if enacted.

THE MOV STATS MiUTIV.
The bill passed at tbe late session of the
Legislature, re organizing the militia of Geor
gia, provides for the appointment by the Gov
ernor of an Aid-de-camp for each Senatorial
District, whose duty it is, with three or more
assistants for each county, to enrol! all free
white male residents of his district, who are of
the age of sixteen years and not over sixty
years of age, except those who shall actually
be in the army or navy of the Confederate
States, or in the State service. Upon the
completion of the er rollmeut he forwards
complete lists, in duplicate, to the Adjutant
and Inspector General, and files copies with*
the Clerks of the Superior Court for their
respective counties. The Aid is also author
ized, with the approval of the Governor, to
consolidate two or more adjoining company
districts into one, and in cities to divide dis
tricts. Upon receiving the company reports,
the Governor is authorized to arrange the said
companies into battalious and regiments,
without regard to county lines, or if need be,
Senatorial Districts. As soon as the arrange
ment into battalions and regiments have been
completed, the Governor will issue orders for
the election of company, battalion and regi
mental officers. With regard to batlalion and
regimiutal organization, the bill conforms tu
Confederate regulation. It provides, however,
for four lieutenents to each company, divid
ing the company into for squads and assigning
one lieutenant, one sergeant and cne corporal
to each squad. This change has been made
for convenience of drill of those companies
which may be scattered over a wide extent of
territory.
j At all election* tnembors of the .State
I Guard who are absent in the Slate or Coofeu
erate service are allowed to vote. As soon as
the Governor U advised of the completion of
the organization of tho militia at.d r this act,
in any Senatorial District, it is mad,- the duty
I of the Governor to declare the; militia organi
! zution heretofore existing suspended, and the
officers under said organization relieved from
their command, and said officers shall be sub
ject to all the military duties intpo.-’ed by this
act upon persons of the same age with them
selves. The militiu enrolled under this act are
to be divided into two classes. The first,
composed of those between seventeen and fifty
years of age, constituting what i-s culled the
militia proper ; and the second c!a?s those be
tween sixteou and seventeen years of age, and
between fifty and sixty years of age, cojisit
tuting what is to be known as the mlliti* re
serve. Both classes are organized together,
but the militia reserve are not required do
drill or perform other wlitury date s contem
plated by the act. They are a strictly reserve
force never to be called on until the militia
lms been exhausted. Whea the militia
prop, r have been called into active si-rvieethe’v
arc to lx; organized ii necessary info brigades }
or division:-, us the case luuy btj, in all cases
elec ting their brigade or division commanders, |
who, however, hold their officers oiily during j
tho time such commands are; in actual service, j
AVlicuover n requisition is made fry the I
I ’resident of the Confederate Htr in- on Geor-!
gia for troops for local defeuco, the Governor j
is authorized to apportion the- number re- 1
ions and companies provided lor by this act.
who may be drafted under the superintendence
of (he Aid-de-camp for each Senatorial Dis
trict, provided that unmarried men, bachelors,
or widowers without children, ahull be sub
ject to draft before married meu or widowers
with children. Discharges for physical disa
bility under this act are to be granted by the
Aid de-camp of the Senatorial District on
certificates of tlyj district surgeon, appointed
for that purpose by the Governor. Persons
liable to service under this uot in the employ
of the Government of the Confederate States,
or of any railroad may be detailed on applica
tion Irom the Secretary of War, or the i’rvsi
deut or Superintendent of the railroad The
Governor is authorized to prescribe the kind
and number of military exercises for non-com
pliance, with which parties are liable to fine
of not less than tinea uor more Ilian fifty
dollars, to be collected by fieri fiaaas issued
by the Aid-de-camp of each Senatorial Dis
trict. No person is liable to be enrolled under
this act who is liable to conscription.
The only exemptions provided for in the
bill are those created By the Constitution in
reference to ail officers and members of the
executive, legislative and judicial department*
of government, ministers of religion in the
actual care of any crgaaiized church or. syna
gogue, mid such other persons as the Gover
nor may deem it necessary for tlid*public in
terests to exempt.
These are the roam features of our new
miiitary system. Its object is to have Geor.
gla thoroughly prepared to repel any at acks
of the enemy during tbe coming spring Un
der the able executive management of our
Governor it canuot fail to be of great service,
and will do much towards strengthening our
gallant armies now in the field.
