The Government Bonds.

A subscriber at Corydon, Iowa, desires a statement of the different kinds of government bonds, rates of interest, dates of issue, time of payment, etc., urging that such a statement would bo of general interest to the public. The public debt statement, when published in full, contains the desired information. The newspapers, however, have not published the full details, of late, the aggregates of the different loans outstanding, ctc., being sufficient for a full comprehehsion of the general financial situation. This recapitulation for Kovember we print to-day.

The principal loans, now represented by bonds of the Government in market, are: 1. Five per cent, bonds of the act of June 14, 1S58, payable after fifteen years, from January 1, 185P. Of these there are 820,000,000 outstanding.

Five per cent, bonds of the act of June 22, 1S60, pa}rable after ten years from January 1,1861. Of these there are about $7,000,000. 3. Six per cent, bonds, (18S1) authorized by the act of February 8, 1861, payable after December 31, 1SS0. About 818,000,000 outstanding. 4. The Oregon War bonds (1SS1), six per cent., authorized by act of March 2, 1861, redeemable twenty years from July 1, 1861. Less than 81,000,000 outstanding. 5. Six per cent, bonds (1881), authorized by acts of July 17 and August 5,1S61. payable at pleasure of Government, after twenty years from June 30,18S1. Of these, the amount outstanding is about $1S9,000,000.-

G. Bonds (5-20s)bearing six per cent, interest, authorized by act of February 25, 1862, redeemable after five and payable after twenty veais from May 1, 1862, of which about 8314,000,000 are outstanding. 7. Six per cent, bonds (1881) of the act of March 3, 1S63, payable after June 30,1881, of which there are 875,000,000 outstanding. 8. Bonds (I0-40s) bearing fiv# per cent, interest, redeemable after ten and payable after fort}' years from March 1, 1864, of which there are something less thau 8200,000,000 outstanding. 9. Bonds (5-20s) bearing six per cent, interest, authorized by the acts ofMarch3and June 30, 1S64, and March S, 1S65, of which there are sis descriptions, the first two redeemable after five and payable twenty years from November 1. 1S64—about 8138,000,000 the third, payable twenty years from November 1, 1865 —about 8200,000,000 the fourth, twenty years after July 1, 1865— about 8300,000,000 the fifth, twenty years after July 1,1SG7—about 8380,000,000: the sixth, twenty years after July 1,1S6S—about 842,000,000.

These are the great "war loans," and the bonds are payable, of course, principal and interest, in coin. There are other evidences of debt against the Government, interest and principal pa}rable in greenbacks, but they need not be noted here. The 10-40s and 5-20s are coitpons, but the others are mostly registered bonds. The 5-20s are now exchangeable for registered bonds, f.imilar as to payment and interest, and many are being so exchanged, but the great bulk of our indebtedness is represented by coupon bonds known as 5-20s and l0-40s About 81,000,000,000 of the bonds, chiefly 5-20s, are held by foreign capitalists, mostly in German}', but a few are held in England, France and Italy.— Chicago Post.

Tax on Dogs.

The suggestion of the Washington Chronicle, mention of which has been made in these columns, to tax dogs, has and is attracting considerable attention. The enforcement of such a tax would add immensely to the wool crop, and save large numbers of sheep, where sheep are raised. It is now proposed to levy a tax of five dollars on every dog, the Gdvernment to supply a stamped and numbered collar for that price to make it a felony to steal the collar or injure the dog while so protected, and giving any one the right to kill any dog without the collar. Tax valuable dogs and kill off the worthless.
