At the Republican' Congressional Caucus at Washington City last week, some interesting statements were made as to the progress being made in the Southern States in the extension of sound political principles. The report shows that the Executive Committee have collected about $17,000, which has mainly been expended in the employment of speakers and organizers, and furnishing reading matter in the South. The Committee have in their employ about sixty colored men and a num ber of whites engaged in the work of organizing the party in the rebel States. Senator Chandler gave a glowing account of the importance of the work, and said that every Republican member of Congress could raise at least one thousand dollars in his district, to be expended in advancing the cause; and said that if means were furnished, the Committee would guarantee to the Republican party the ten Southern States at the first election. Senator Wilson, of Massachu setts, stated that the election in Virginia would probably be held in Sep tember, and the result would aston ish the nation. lie was certain that the majority which Virginia would give would place her in the first rank of the Republican States of the Union. Several members of both houses made brief and interesting addresses, urging the importance of the work, and claiming that a dollar expended at this time would be worth one hundred expended a year hence. The Ilouse of Reaise Letter from Gov. Baker. It is known to our readers that the last Legislature made partial provision for the establishment of a Ilouse of Refuge for juvenile offenders against the laws, and for vicious and unruly youths. It is an institution which has been badly needed in Indiana for years, and it is a matter of congratulation that the Legislature at last took action upon the subject, even though the appropriation was insufficient for a full and proper establishment. Governor Baker selected a Commission of prominent and humane citizens to carry out the legislative provision, (if which Charles F. Coffin, a leading Quaker citizen of Wayne County, is President. This Commission, in conjunction with Governor Baker, have located the Ilouse of Refuge at Plainfield, Henjlricks County, and have the buildings under way. We have been permitted to read a letter from Governor Baker to a gentleman of this city, in answer to some inquiries relative to the provisions to be made for the admission of inmates and similar matters, and as the letter contains information of interest to the public, we have asked permission to publish it. The letter of the Governor was not written for publication, but as it gives an account of matters which the people of the State will de:re to read, we make the following extracts: " The construction of the buildings for the Ilouse of Refuge has been let, and the Commissioners expect to be ready to receive juveniles by the 1st day of January next. No tempo

rary arrangement for the reception of inmates has been made, nor is sveh practicable. .The Commissioners have adopted the " family system,' as contradistinguished from the 'congregate' plan. " Under the family system, the inmates are divided into families of fifty each, each family v having a separate house, and being under the control of an Elder Brother and an Assistant Elder Brother. The family is divided into two classes of twenty-five each,

and these classes alternate in study and labor, one half of each day being devoted to study and the other half to labor. " No Superintendent has yet been appointed, and none I suppose will be until the buildings are nearly ready for occupancy. As under the family plan more dependence is placed upon moral suasion and less on coercion, much of the success of the institution will depend on the Superintendent and his assistant officers. " The Commissioners will, if possible, endeavor to procure one or more tried men who have had experience in such institutions. " According to the plans adopted by the Commissioners, the institution when finally completed will oonsist of one main building and ten family houses, besides shps, bake houses, milk houses, tc. "But as the appropriation made will not be near sufficient to build all these, the Commissioners have, as I think wisely, determined not for the present to attempt to build the main building (which will be for the chapel, dining-halls, &c), but instead thereof to commence by erecting three family houses, one large shop, a bake-house, milk-house, barn, &c. By this plan they hope to be ready to accommodate about one hundred and fifty inmates by the commencement of next year, and. to have the institution in good working order when the-next Legislature meets. Experience has shown that the minimum number that can be managed advantageously in any one institution is about five hundred; and the plans of the Commis sioners, if ever carried to completion, contemplate an institution of that capacity. " Tne Institution at Chicago is a sort of cross between the Family and the Congregate systems; and our Commissioners in their plans provide for the modification thereof, if the Family system, pure and simple, is found not to work well by engraf ting thereon the Chicago ideas." The great Summit Tunnel through the crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountain chain, has generally been looked upon as a .three or four years job. But the Californians, in their impa tience to push forward the Central Pacific Railway, have put in practice the underground tactics which their quartz mining bad taught them. They attacked the tunnel at both ends, and then sunk a shaft in the middle down to the levl of the grade, and worked bqth ways. The tunnel will be 1,000 feet long through the solid ock. It was commenced last Sep tember, and on the first of June only four hundred and fourteen feet remained to be taken out. The progress made is'sixty feet per week, at which rate the job will be completed by the first of August eleven months from the time the ground was broken! After passing the mountain, the way is open without serious obstacles to overcome, clear to Salt Lake, which the Californians are confident of reaching before tlfe Eastern Division of the great work gets there. Robert Toombs, formerly United States Senator from Georgia, and afterwards a rebel officer, wrote a letter recently, in which he said: " I regret nothing in the past, but the dead and the failure, and I am to-day ready to use the best means I can command to establish Jthe principles for which I fought." This is the sentiment of nine tenthsof the leading ex-rebels in the South. This man has just received an unconditional pardon from the traitor, Andy Johnson. The Xew York Press on the President's State Debt Message. Seme of our Democratic friends are quite incensed at the severity of our article on Saturday in reference to Mr. Xiblack's vote on the Rebel States Debt theory of President Johnson. For their information, and as interesting reading for the public, we make a few extracts from our latest file of New York papers : From the New Yoik Herald. " The President yesterday sent to the Senate a poor little message, transmitting certain documents, in re

lation to reconstruction, heretofore called for. He makes a return in this message of the expenses of reconstruction, and ventures an estimate of its future cost; and in this estimate makes the quasi assumption that as the Southern States have ceased to exist the United States has become responsible for all the Southern State debts that were incurred before the war. Warming up as he advances, and evidently impressed with the notion that he has at last really got hold of a tremendous argument against reconstruction, the President proceeds to treat this little piece of financial nightmare as a legal fact, and to reason from it whether ".or no such an addition to our burdens in the present condition of. the national debt may not endanger the public credit. Who would expect to find the harmless face of little Snug, the joiner, behind the roaring of such a terrific lion as this? Who would possibly believe that any man who had reached the Presidency of the United States could so absolutely write himself down an ass on such slight occasion? Surely, if this executive bug-a-boo does not frighten Congress into giving up all its reconstruction plans and letting the President have his own will with the States, then it is a bold and obdurate body, and will dare go through the woods in the darkest night. Ifthereisno one in the Southern States properly charged with the debts of-those States, persons of ordinary capacity might suppose that that was one of the risks and consequences of the war, and a thing that we could neither prevent nor remedy; but they are not persons of ordinary capacity who advise the President. That is very clear. Again, persons who see that twice one are two usually understand that a State debt involves a pledge of the property in that State as security, and will suppose that if the State is dead it might be advisable to have a public administrator to settle up the affairs of the defunct in a legal way. But the President and his friends are not of the class of men who can see how it is that twice one make two and it is a useful lesson that they ought to learn. From the N. Y. Times. In transmitting certain reports to Congress, yesterday, embodying information called for respecting the work of reconstruction, the President gives

expression to views which indicate an almost incomprehensible perversion of the scope and effect of the policy adopted by that body. It is difficult to believe that the President himself attaches the slightest faith to these represenations. There is no warrant for them in the law as it is, or as it will be after the enactment of the bill now in his hands. The interpretation of Mr. Stanberry was not more obviously at variance with the intentions , of Congress than is this interpretation of Mr. Johnsou. All that is intended all that is done is to make the so-called provisional governments of the South subject to tlfe respective district commanders. lhc local machinery will work as usual. The local expenditures will be met as heretofore. Local taxation will be relied upon to maintain local civil authority, and on the latter will still devolve the duty of upholding the State credit. The fact that this authority i3 for the time subordinate to the military does not affect the question. It will not b.? permitted to thwart the purposes of the law or to hinder the progress of reconstruction; but otherwise it will operate as now. 2s either morally nor legally does Congress make itself responsible for th support of the State Government or the preservation of the State credit; and any estimate based on the contrary supposition is simply absurd. For the President's sake, we trust that the expected veto will rest upon a more accurate and more reasonable understanding of the policy of Congress than that which pervades the message of yesterday. That policy has its faults and difficulties, we admit, but nothing can now be gained by attempts to misrepresent either its design or its tendency. The President will commit a very serious blunder if he make his far-fetched fallicies the ground of opposition to the action of Congress. From the World. The message sent to Congress by President " Johnson, yesterday, calls attention, in its closing paragraph, to a very grave subject. Congress having taken the ground, in its recent legislation, that we have acquired over the South all the rights of conquest, it logically follows that we have also incurred all the obligations inseparable from euch rights. We cannot assume the advantages of such a relation, without also accenting its liabilities. The South has probably for some time perceived this consequence; which may perhaps explain, what has seemed so unaccountable to many, the listlessness of the Southern people in relation to registration. Although the white voters greatly outnumber the blacks, the returns thus far show a preponderence of negroes on the registers. It has been frequently asked in amazement why the whites should permit this; why they should thus tamely surrender themselves to nesro rule, when they could easily outvote the freedmen, and get control of the new State governments? Probably the white population do not intend that any new State government shall be formed with their consent, in order that Congress may he obliged to provide for the heavy State debts for which it has made the nation liable.

From the New York Tribune.

We are disposed to believe that there is no weapon, however petty it mav be. that Andrew Johnson will not use. now that we have read his last message to Congress. Weakness of intellect aud strength of obstinacy could go no further than in this argu ment that the United States in recon structine the Union becomes respon sible for the legitimate debts of the rebel States. This is mere petti fogKine. The intelligent Democrats who ironically commented on, it in the Senate indicated the severe treatment jUr. Johnson will certainly re ceive from that party when his term of office expires. Did he actually suppose that the, country could be frightened by the debt of $100,000,000 ne invented, or that sucn a seir-evi-dent stroke of demagogism would affect a single vote in Congress, or the result of one township election? We are afraid that Mr. Johnsou did entertain hopes of frightening other people, though we cannot do him the injustice to suppose that he was in the least scared by his own imaginary monster. Those who manufacture bug-a-boos are not terrified by their horns or tail. It would be better for the President were he to abandon this dubious and trivial policy at once. IIKI. BABCOCK.
