Washington, Sept. 18. The War Department has received copies of the following orders, issued on the 9th and 10th iost.. bv Brevet Maior General Ord, commanding the Fourth Military District, for the purpose of securing peace and quiet, and prevent ing violence, disorder and riot throughout that military district: ine assembling ot any organiza tions or bodies of citizens under any pretense whatever, is prohibited. The proper civil officers, post commanders, commissioners, and agents of the Lfureau of Refugees and Freedmen will use all means at their disposal to cause the enforcement of this order. Precautionary measures to prevent such assemblies, by sending guards to attend public meetings, or such other action as may be deemed advisable, will be takeu by the post commanders on all proper occasions. In event of its violation, the au thorities above named are directed to make some 1 effort to cause the arrest of the armed portion of the as semblages, and when arrested, they will be held in confinement for trial by a military commission. Arms found upon tbe persons present will be seized and held by the officer mak ing the arrest, subject to orders from these Headquarters. , The practice of carrying fire-arms is prevalent among bullies and cowards, and not preva lent in well organized, civilized com munities, and it is the intention' of the General Commanding to take all tivnrttiA.l mAACVAa " otAn it ttn)' all persons reMdingjwithin the limits of this Military District, who subse quently to the 9th of April, 1865, volU u iai m j v a. --a w uiov a v aawau vuvi or the States lately in rebellion, and have since returned to a residence in the United States, will within thirty days from the receipt of this order, report in person or in writing to these Headquarters their full names and jlaces of residence, giving post omce address, in order that a copy of the parole oath administered to the rebel armies on their surrender may be furnished to each, to be duly taken and subscribed to.

ESTABLISHED. 1831.

From tbe Indianapolis Journal.! nnen the Public Debt Should

. f rata. . , To tbe Editors of tbe Journal r . Without intending to discuss all : the questions cohnecte d with our " finances, such as" taxation of the boods, retirement of the : National Bank currency, etc., I beg leave to

call the attention of your readers' to the subject of the time of payment of the national debi. ' . . ;

The total debt on the first of the present month, less the- amount of cash in the Treasury, was tZ, 492,783,-

365, and includes , $365,164,841 f .

greenbacks or legal tender notes, and $29,392,172 in fractional currency. The total bonded debt, a t the same time, including old bonds, issued be fore 1861, was $1,732,3Q1,510 48. Of this amount 'one hundred, and ninety-eight millions four hundred and thirty-one thousand three .hundred dollars ($198,431,300) draw five per cent, interest and fall due in 1904, and what are commonly called " Ten Forties." ; Twd hundred and eightythree millions six hundred and seven ty-git thousand one hundred dollars ($283,076,100.) drawing six per cent. luieresi, uu. uue in icoi. xweive hundred and five millions seven hun dred and ten thousand five hundred dollars ($1,205,710,500) draw six per cent, interest and fall due in 1832. r84.

135, and '87, and are what are .commonly called Five Twenties." The . iuterest on all these bonds is payable in c6in." There were outstanding on the first1 of the present ' month four .

hundred millions seven hundred and eighty-six thousand and twenty-five dollars $400,786,025) of three years' "Seven-Thirty " notes, due iu Juna and July, 1868.1 , ; The Jaw creating the " Ten-Fortv"

bonds provides that the Government , . shall have the right to redeem them at any time after ten years from the date of their issue, and this right of r redemption will accrue in 1874. The , law creating the five- twenties' pro

vides that the Government may, re-, deem them at any time after five years from the date of issue, and this right of redemption! will accrue in regard to those already issued in 1867 '69. '70 . and 72. V The right to redeem these different bonds at the -expiration of five and ten years, as above stated, is a mere . privilege reserved by the Government to be exercised or not according to its '.' convenience, and there is no moral ct" legal obligation to pay eff one of them

an hour before it is due. When these" . laws were passed, it was jupposed it might be to the interest of the Gov- ' ' em merit to pay off the debt, or some ' portion of it, before it was .due. and

the right to do so was accordingly reserved. . " It is now proposed by the Demo-, cratic politicians that tbe Government shall at once pay off in greenbacks all the bonds which it has a right to re deem, and shall continue to do so trom year to year, as the right to redeem shall accrue, until the whole is paid, which would thus be done in seven years; and the more violent are insisting on the immediate discharge of the whole debt by compelling our creditors to take an canal amount of greenbacks to be issued for that purpose. ' Ihe latter proposition would re quire the immediate issue of more than two billions of greenbacks, and the former of the issue of a like sum within seven years, and either would be clearly fatal to the : credit and prosperity of tho country Of the "five-twenties, five hundred and fourteen millions seven hundred and eighty thousand and fifty dollars were issued in 1862, and are not due until 1882; but the Government has -tbe privilege of redeeming them in - 1867. , According to the last monthly - statement of the Ireasurv Department, there are now absolutely due and must be paid on presentment, various notes, ponds and certificates of indebtedness amounting to nine teen millions for hundred and forty thousand three hundred and seventyfive dollars and eighty-seven cents. . ($19,440,375 87.) There are six pet cent. , bonds falling due in 1867-68. and must then be paid, amounting to fourteen millions eight hundred and sixty-nine thousand seven . hundred and ; ninety-one dollars and eighty ' cents. ' . . , ; - There are of three years compound interest notes, which will fall due in lsott. and must then be paid, seventy- - eight millions eight hundred and thirty-nine thousand six hundred dollars. . . How shall the Government get tbe greenbacks to pay the debts that , are due, and that will be due next year, and to redeem tne nve nunarea , and fourteen millions of "five-twen- . ties?" .... There are three ways: ; First. By issuing new bonds and re- -, deeming with tbe proceeds of their sale: but this would only make a new debt of like amount, as the time has r not come when a new, bond bearing a lower rate of interest can be sold at par. Second. By levying a tax more than double that of the present: but this the country can not and will not bear. Or, Third. By issuing within the next twelve months not less than six hundred millions of greenbacks, and this . operation must be repeated from year toiyear until alter i.
