Their Acsolute Security.—Nearly all active credits arc now based on Government s-viiriti'-s, and banks hold tlier, as the very best and strongest investment tiny can mak, If it wore possible to contemplate tlw financial failure of the Government, no bank would beany safer- II money Is loaned ou individual*notcs or bond aud mortgage. It will be payable in tho same currency as tho GoTi-iuineni t>ays with, and no better. The Government never has failed to meet its engagements, and the national debt is n first mortgage upon the whole property of the country While other stocks fluctuate from ten to fifty, or even a greater per cent., Government stocks are always compar.i tively firm. Their value is fixed and reliable, beyond all other securities; for while a thousand speculative bubbles rise and burst, as a rule they are never below ]iar, and are often above. ItsLieeral Interest.—The gcnmi! rate of interest Ik six per cent., payable annually. This is seven and three .tenths, payable srmi-aiinit.illi/. If you k-nd on mortgage, there must bo a searching of titles. lawyers' fees, stamp duties and delays, and you will finally have returned to you only tho same kind of money you%-ould receive from the Government, and less of it. If you invest in this loan, you have no trouble. Any bank or banker will obtain it for you without charge. To each note or bond are affixed five "coupous" or interest tickets, due at tho expiration, fci each successive half-year. Tho holder of a note has, simp ly to cut off one of these coupons, present it to t*> nearest bank or Government. Agency, and receive his interest; the note itself need not be presented at all. (j r a coupon thus pevablo will everywhere bo eipu'valen',, w j, cn due, to mo ney. If you wish to borrow uin»',y cents on the dollar upon the notes, you have the hijr; UM t securit y )n tLIO mal . ket to do It with. If you wi 6 >. to sell, it will bring within a traction of cost and iiiti/.-est at any moment. It will be very handy to have in t'.ie houso. Ji is Convertible '.„t 0 a six pcs cent, gold-bearing bond. At the expiration of three years a holder'of the notes o! the 7-30 Loan has the optiou of accepting payment in full or of funding \u notes in a "i.v per cent, gold-interest bond the principal payable in not less than five, nor more than twenty yours from its date, aa the Government may elect These bonds are held nt such a premium as to make this privilege now worth two or throe per cent, per annum, au adds so much to the interest. Kotos of tho same class, 1; Sued three years ago, are now selling at a nito that fully proves tho correctness of ibis statement. Its Exemption from State on Mvnicip.u Taxation.— But aside from all the advantages wo have onumersled, ft special Act .of Congress exempts all beads rust sVmwu no««»/ran local taxation.' On the average, this exemption Is worth about two per rent, per anuum, according to the rato of (itsHon in various pans of the country. It v a National Savings Bane.—While this loan pre sents great advantages to large capitalists, it oilers special inducements to thoso who SEN* to make a safe and profita ble Investment of small savings. It is every way tho besl Savings' Bank: for every institution of this kind must sotuohow invest iv deposits profitably iv order to pay in terostand expenses. Tliey will invest largo!} in this loan. as the besl investment. But from Hie gross iulermt which they rscoivn, they must deduct largely for tho expenses ot the Bank. Their usual ratu of ftrtereet allowed to deposi tors Is 5 per cent, upon sums over &>OO. Tho person who invests directly with Government will receive almost 60 per cent, raoro. Thus the. man who Deposits JIOOO in a. private Savings' Bank receive* 60 dollars a year interest if he deposits tho same sum in this National Savings' Ban It ho receive, 73 dollars.

Where hcartwrecks incessantly roll. THE SITUATION IN TEXAS. The progress of reconstruction and conciliation seems to be quite rapid in Texas, and it would appear from the la test accounts that the people are willing to take a more practical view of the matter, than in most other States of tho South. While in some States, they re fuse to recognize the fact, or rather, fail to comprehend it, of the entire freedom or the colored population. The people of Eastern Texas, with perhaps the largest slave population, and richest cot ton lands in the South havebeld a public meeting in Marshal, which is the most important city in that portion of the State. The Secretary of this meeting was R. W. Loughery, who for more than twenty years has been the editor of. the Marshal Republican, the ablest and [ most influential Democratic journal in the State. A series of resolutions were ] adopted, recognizing the abolition of slavery by the President's proclamation, as also the necessity of a restoration of | good feeling among the people. The platform of this meeting is sointeresting that we publish it in full, and recom mend it to the consideration of South ern men everywhere. Your committee believing that they faithfully represent the views and feel ings of the entire population of the county, and they doubt not the State, though not called upon to express an opinion beyond their immediate neigh borhood, respectfully represent: — 1. That they recognize the war as over, and are anxious for the establishment, not only of good order, but of good feel ing between all sections of the country. We belong alike to tho Union, and de sire as early as possible to restore it to its original vigor, with its protection and civil rights, and the principles of consti tutional freedom. 2. Texas not having been the theatre of war, and her citizens having been ac customed uninterruptedly to the rights, privileges aud immunities which belong to the civil government, feel keenly the sense of personal insecurity arising from the civil law being temporarily suspend ed, and are solicitous for a return to the civil government; that for this purpose they respectfully memorialize the au thorities of the United States to aban don all apprehension of resistance, eith er direct or indirect, upon the part of our citizens, and to rest assured they will do all iv their power to restore the reign of good feeling and good govern lneut. With an earnest assurance of this fact, and satisfied it will be soon attested by the officers of tho United States now here or on the way to Texas, who will receive nothing but kindness and cour tesy from our citizens, we doubt not the government will give every assistance in its power to aid in restoring, as speed ily as possible, the civil government. Resolved, That, as law abiding citl- I zens, we will respect the emancipation I proclamation as a war measure, desiring a b the same time to have good order, in dustry" a,ltl sobriety among the negro nonulaii. ''i. aud l 0 caro for them ' as wo status, as consistent v, which is the tiou of the United States, wucft ls lac supreme Jaw of the land. _. -„, f . Resolved, That, desiring in frc ° a J,f, ~ to establish good order and good fe>. .°' we desire the aid, countenance and sJ'**" i port of the United States and its officer's, and to bury everything in the shape of prejudice. If wcarc henceforth to live under one government, every good citi zen, North and South, ought to conspire to aid in rendering that government ac ceptable to all. Resolved, That, as evidence of good faith upon the part of the citizens and late soldiers of the Confederacy, we hope that all public property surrendered to, or claimed by the United States, wilT be promptly restored. . en l — Boston 3oot and Shoe Market.-- There has been some improvement in the market, aud dealers are anticipating an early call for Fall and Winter goo.ds.

I [From a Special Dispatch to lh« Now York Tribune] I On the publication of the statement in I (he Tribune a few days ago that the- Secretary of War had interfered with' the attendance of Mrs. Surratt's spirit ual udviser, the New York Times aud an obscure Philadelphia journal took occasion, without any knowledge of facts, to denounce it as a malicious fabrication. The subjoined statement was obtained from the very best author ity, and neither the Times nor the Sec retary- of War dare deny it. On Thursday morning, inst, the Reverend Father Walter, pastor of St. Patrick's, Church in this city, weut to the War Office to ask for a pass to visit Mrs. Surratt, ignorant of the fact that she had already been condemned to sutler death on the following day.— He had never previously visited Mrs. S. ( nor did lie know her except by reputa tion. On application he was informed by General Hurdie, A. A. G. to Secreta ry Stanton, that he could not give him a pass without first consulting with Mr. Stanton, who was out at the time.— Father Walter returned home, and at 1 o'clock P. M., on the same day received a pass to visit the prison, signed, by or der of the Secretary of War, Gen. Hur dle, A. A. G. The messenger who brought the pass to Father Walter, being an intelligent Irishman, Father Walter entered into conversation with him on the subject of the execution, firmly asserting the be lief in Mrs. Surratt's innocence. In half, or perhaps an hourafterward, Gen. Hardie himself called at the residence of Father Walter, and, after some irrele vant conversation, said; "Father Wal ter, you made quite an impression on the mind of my messenger in regard to the execution of Mrs. Surratt." To which Father Walter remarked that he was firmly impressed with her entire in nocence. General Hardie then said:— "Father Walter, the pass you have will, not admit you to the military prison to morrow, because it is not signed by the Secretary of War. I want you to make me a promise to say nothingof Mrs. Sur ratt's innocence, and I will give you the necessary pass." Father Walter, naturally indignant, immediately refused to accede to Gene ' ral Hardies demand, giving him to un ' derstand in the plainest kind of lan ■ guage that no official, civil or military, • could enforce his silence on this point; . and remarking that he knew under ' I whose authority he (General Hardie) I was acting. General Hardie, a convert ed Catholic, by the way, then said, pa tronizingly, that as yet there were no charges lodged against him (Father Walter) at the War Department, to which the latter rejoined that he might his master, Stanton, that he conscien tiously believed Mrs. Surratt guiltless: that he should proclaim his belief, and , that the War Department might hang him If it thought proper. , General Hardie was about to go with f out giving Father Walter the pass, when j tiie latter said: "General Hardie I can not suffer Mrs. Surratt to die without > administering the sacrament; I say yes • to your proposition; give me the pass." . General Hardie then drew from his Eocket a pass, duly filled up and signed y Edwin M. Stanton, admitting him (Father Walter) to the prison until after the execution. Previous to the removal of Mrs Sur ratt from the Carroll to the Military prison, Father Walter had made appli cation to the War Office for a pass to visit her, she being very ill, but in every instance his applications were denied, and, up to the very day before the exe cution, Mrs. Surratt was deprived by the Secretary of War of spiritual atten dants. «m ■ — TheMalden Murderer.—The fol lowing article appears in the Lowell (Mass.,) Courier of Saturday last, on the subject of Gov. Andrew's position in the mat-terof carrying out the death sentence on Green, the Maiden murderer : "We have heard stated what we pre sume is the precise position of Gov. An drew in relation to the case of Green, the Maiden murderer. "Gov. Andrew is an opponent of capi tal puuishnient. He does not believe in its necessity or its justice ; but yet, as a law-abiding citizen, he does not seek to justify his neglect to sign the warrant for the execution of Green on theground of any conscientious convictions of this character. Hia position is that if Green had been legally convictedof murder, in the first degree, by the verdict of a jury, it would then have become his duty to sign the warrant for his execution : but that not. having been thus convicted, no case is presented before him on which he is required to act "The Revised Statutes give the defini tion of murder in the first and second de gree as follows: Murder in the first de gree must be 'committed with delibea rately premeditated malice aforethought, or in the commission of, or attempt to commit, ouy crime punishable with death or imprisonment for life, or com mitted with extreme atrocity or cruelty.' Murder in the second degree ia simply an act of murder not in the first degree. The statue also provides that 'the degree of murder shall be found by the jury.' "Green was indicted for murder,audon being arranged, plead guilty, was ad judged guilty of murder in the first de- I i'ree by the court, aud sentenced to be %,s£•. Now, Gov.
