VMCfft#B« Wo dlroot oiwatlon to SB *M« srtiol* from tbo Now York World, wklek wo wpobllok In to-day'* paper, upon Ik* condition of affair* in Florida. Tbo radicals oksfge the delay In roeonatruotlOB upon fk* President and tbo Democratic party. This accusation comes wltk ill grnee from Ike party tkatkaakad complete control of Ike forernaMBt for tke past six years, and upon wnom Ike reepoBelblllty must rest for tbe present disturbed condition of public affairs. If tbe proper course bad been pursued Immediately upon tbe surrender of Lien and tbe overtbrow of tbe military power of tbe rebellion, long since tbe Union would have been restored and tbe blessing* of peace and prosperity would bate reeled upon tbe land. The President did make an effbrtlobung back tbe rebel States to tbeir proper place* in the Union, and bis measures to that end bad, for a while, tbe sanction of the radical party. Kven Morton made a speech late in IMA, to show that tbe terms offered by tbe Eicontl vo to tbe people who bad engaged in the rebellion were less liberal and more exacting than those which had been proposed by President Urttcor.*. Congress, it will be recollected, took tbe work out of the PreeldcnS’s hands, but to this day, although several reconstruction measures have passed that body, no terms of reconciliation or restoration bare yet been proposed, the acceptance ef which would he a guarantee to tbe Southern people that they would be admitted to an equal representation in the Government, with the rlghte and digoi y of tbe States unimpaired, that It should be regarded by thoee in power aa a final settlement of tbe controversy. Even If tbo rebel States should organise under What Is known as the military reconatructlon bills, Congress In tbat case reserves the power to admit or reject them. Wo may say that the radios! msjorlty in Cn»w*~«s ass no settled or avowed policy in regard to restoration. It has a purpose, however, and that la no restoration unices tbe Southern States arc completaly radicalised, bound hand foot to tbe radical p trty. And this regardless of tbe moans by which tbe end shall be accomplished, or Its effect upon tbo welfare of those States or tbe well being of the country generally. Can any man who has the welfare of tbe country at heart, after reading the article from the World to which wo have referred, have any doubt but reconArnction should be hindered, delsyed, precraatlnated until a diflerent condition of affairs exists in the exclqded States? It would be a groat calamity to the Nation, leaving out of view theresulta upon tbe white people In those States, If tbe politteal power In them should be controlled by tbe ignorant and degraded black population a people totally unfitted for tbe trust, and who are moro likely to relapse into barbarism, than to advance In intelligence, civil!f zatlon and refinement. Better military rule, military despotism, than to Africanize one third of tbe States in tbe Union, and make A them a charge upon tbe public treasury, and a source of weakness. Instead of contributing, as heretofore, to tbe wealth and power of tbe nation. Tbe people should consider these things. We have arrived at a turning point in our national history for weal or woe. Tbe radical leaders to maintain tbeir party supremacy are ready to pursue a policy in the reconstruction of tbe Southern States, which must prove disastrous to tbe future prosperity and progress of tbe nation, and It Is for tbe people to determine in tbe coming elections whether tbey will continue that power In tbeir bands. Wnalt Repudiation; On tbe 17th day cf July, 18C7, an act waa passed authorizing a "national loan and for other purposes,” and acting under tbe previsions of that law the subscription agent of tbe Government Issued proposals for the new national loan, bearing Interest at th« rate of seven and three-tenths per cent, per annum. The announcement was made that "pursuant to Instructions from the Secretary of the Treasury.” these evidences of indebtedness should be In tbe shape of notes redeemable at tbe end of three years in yold f and tbat the interest would be payable semi-annually, at the mint, aNo in {/old> Holders bad the option at the time tbeir bonds matured, of converting them Into six per cent, gold bearing bonds, having twenty years to run. This was a plain contract, and these seven- thirties, as tbey were styled, were tbe first application made by tke Government to tbe people fora loan. For two and a half years tbe Interest was promptly paid in gold. But at tbe date of maturity, in 1HA4, paym«nt of the principal was declined, and also of tbe Interest remaining due on tbe same, except on condition that the principal would be taken in legal tender notes, then at a discount of from fifty to sixty per cent., as compared with poM. An application to tbe Treasury Department for redraw was cavalierly responded te (despite tbe solemnly pledged faith of the nation) by tbe Assistant Secretary, who said that these seven-thirties were “considered on a party with all tbe temporary loans of tbe Government, all of wklek If has been tbe settled custom of this Department to pay In lawful money.'' This Is a plain statement of tbe faets, aa we find them m tbe Philadelphia Age, and we give them without note or oomeaent. We leave off as w# began, with tbe query, “Waa It Repudiation?*'and if tbe answer Is in tbe affirmative, as this was done under radical rule. “Who are the Reptidiators?” » • w Vi h* Pny* Ik* Taxes. The radical orators claim that only tbe rich pay the luxes. Senator Morton said tbe other day, in a speech In Ohio, that “the men who mailt) tbe noise uboflt taxes are those who generally pay the least. Taxes fall most heavily upon capitalists.*’ A poor man knocked this sophistry square in tbe bead yesterday, by a simple statement ef facts. Ten years ago be hired a bouse for sight dollars a month. Yesterday be tried to rent tke same premises, but tbe owner, tke same now as then, demanded twelve dollar* for th# use of tbe property, and it is In no hotter condition than It waa-no addition or Improvement kae been made to It to make It snore desirable or valuable, “How ie this,” eald tbo renter—“why thia inoreaee la tke rent! Tke aa# of tke property ie wortk no more now than it waa tea year* ago." "Ah!” •ays tks landlord, “yon do not understand tke matter. Tbe text* have iacreaaad vastly, and consequently I must add to tbe rent auffloieat to meet tbe tnoreaeed tax." This little Incident demoaatratca conclusively who pays tbetaxw. It Is not, as Senator Morton argues, tbe capitalist* upon whom tbe taxeafail most heavily, but it la upon the povf man, tbe laboring mao, whose indu-try give* valoa to capital. If capitalists pay tbe taxes, they flrst collect them from tbe poor man. Tbe capitalist who ten years ago was satisfied wltk eight dollars a month for tbe rent of a bonne, now dean and* twelve dollar* for tbe oa* ef tke same property, and wby ?

A negro private letter from Feruaiidia, Florida, says tbe residence of ex United State* Senator Yclee waa recently mobbed by negroes, and seriously damaged with stones and other mlaallea.

Tbe Democrats carry ten of tbe nineteen organized counties In tbe Territory, and elected a majority of tbe council. Very

good.

More of the Same Leaven.—The Chicago Tribune wants a duty of forty cents a head levied upon all foreigners coming into this country. That is the radical Idea. If a negro wants to enjoy the benefits of tree government, let the Government feed and support him until he is able and willing to take care of himself. If a white man, born in a foreign country, wlsbes to enjoy tbe benefits of free government, make him pay a tax for tbe privilege. Tbat is radicalism. —The New York Herald calls tbe proposed Impeachment an attempt to put out a President for the base motive of getting control of the federal patronage for electioneering purposes, and asks, if the threat is carried out, what course the Democrats will pursue. It hopes tkat the party may defeat Impeachment without resort to force, but If tbe President Is deposed for so cause but fidelity to tbe Constitution, tbey will shrink from no sacrifice necessary to vindicate tbe law which would be violated In his person. —Three hundred thousand millions of dollars (nearly one-third of tbe entire taxable property of the Northern States,) Is relieved by radical legislation from taxation. Eight hundred millions of dollars are wrung from tbe people annually by tbe federal, State and municipal authorities In the shape of taxes— an average of $27 for every man, woman and child in the United States, Including the negroes! From all this grievous burden the bondholders are exempted, but tbe bondmen are not. —England never oecame complete mistress of tbe aeas until sbe abandoned ber protective policy and opened her ports to tbe commerce of the world upon tbe payment of nominal, fixed duties. Since adopting ber free trade policy, her prosperity has bad no parallel in Europe. A like career awaits this country, when a like policy ia adopted. Ws have tbe material for ships and greater varieties of products to fill them with than any other people in tbe world. Foreigners can not bay our substance unless we also buy tbelra. It la Idle to suppoe* that comsaerce can be carried on wk*n we refuse to buy tbe feed* of others, but seek to sail for gold and gold only. Our mines produce more gold than we want already, and to refuse to bey goods. Is to shut ont tbe opportunity to sell goods, and commerce dies. —The New York Herald says: Tbe platform of tbe Republicans of New York, as enunciated at Syracuse, Is a very diluted, cowardly, fraudulent affair. It Is as wlskywashy and worthless as tbe trashy speech delivered by Master Roseox Conkuno at tbe opening of tbe exerdaes. It touebes every weue in a gingerly, timid manner. It Is gingerly on negro suffrage; gingerly.on Impeachment; gingerly on Sunday law* and probibitten.

terrible trM<—Lafayette Courier.

—An old man named Cooms, living at Lebanon, attempted suicide on Tuesday last. It appears that his family has suffered a good deal from sickness lately. A few weeks ago his wife and daughter died. The trustee of the township concluded on account of their destitution, to send the balance of the family, who were sick, to the county poor house. Driven to desperation the old man concluded to rid himself of the burdens of life.. He placed btmself on tbe track x>«toyctto Railroad** raw aver by tbe train going northward, but the cow catcher knocked him off. The old man determined, however, upon self destruction, crawled back upon the track, so that the balance of the train passed over him, cutting off both legs between the knees and thighs. Strange to say death did not ensue, but the county will be put to considerable expense for surgeon’s fees and attention, far more than would have been necessary If the old man had received tbh proper sympathy before misfortune drove him to the des-

Hcceasfructie* la Florida. If Ibc people of toe North bad any adequate conception of what Is going on In tbe South, and what Is to be too inevitable result, tbey would rise en matte and sweep toe wbole reconstruction scheme, witb all its machinery and aU Its doings, clean out of existence, by an overwhelming burst of public opinion tbat would compel its instantaneous abandonment. But tbere is no public opinion, formed or forming, because there is a profound Ignorance of the facts. Tbe mass of tbe people of too Nortbern States know scarcely more about the real condition of society on wbtcb these reconstruction measures are operating, about tbe character of tbe negro population, or tbeir capacity to undertake toe carrying on of a popular and republican government,than tbey know of what is tbe condition of affairs in Abyssinia. Very few people in tbe North know anything whatever of toe common occurrences, or of tbe strange social pbrn : a a that take place among toe negroes uuu .uat mark the character o( tbat population; nor does scarcely any one in tbe North take tbe slightest heed of tbe official acts of the military authorities, which are utterly anomalous, subversive of all legal distinctions, and Introducing confusion and dislocation Into tbe most minute political and social concerns of those

unfortunate communities.

Tbere is in preparation for tbe future of

those States a condition of things tbat has never bad a parallel even in Soutb America; and tbat will render a return to military and despotic government absolutely unavoidable. Having had tbe means of learning from perfectly authentic and reliable sources tbe state of affairs In Florida, we are prepared to describe things that ought to astonish mankind. Florida is a State tbat needed no coercion of any kind in order to bring her into ber true relations to the Union, and no interference between toe two races In order to insure tbe kindly treatment of tbe blacks. There was scarcely a malignant secessionist in tbe whole State, from tbe beginning of tbe separation. Tbe people of Florida east la tbeir lot with toe confederacy more from compulsion and necessity than from ortglnal choice; and although tbey contributed tbeir Ml quo tot* tbe Souiien matt, wbsfi ffc«t eanae ws* Umikep wen ready to resume tbeir place* la toe Union, and to pay a towal obedienewto Ks jost constitutional authority. Of conrs* ftey mjectad the proposed amendment of thATedsnl Constitution which seuftot to emnjjwf them to establish negro suffrage, or to subnaiMoagrent reduction of tbeir congressional representation. Tbey rejected it because tbey knew tbe otter unfitness of tbe negroes te become voters; bat, at tbe same time, tbey proceeded in tbeir legislation to do everything for tbe negro tbat bit new condition of freedom rightfully demanded at tbeir bands. Negro suffrage ia now to be forced upon tbe people of Florida, through tbe reconstruction measures, and tbe following Is tbe actual condition of things on

which those measures sr* to operate: By tbe census of 1360 tbe population of

Florida consisted of 77,748 whites, and 62,677 blacks, giving a majority of 15,071 whites. Thta relation, however. Is now reversed, In consequence of tbe removal of great numbers of blacks into Florida during tbe war, and also In consequence of tbe Urge number of whites wbo were killed or died of disease while la tbe confederate service. From tbe most reliable estimates tbat can be obtained, we believe tbe present total population of

Florida to be, In round numbers, 315,000, et slating of 140,000 white* and 175,000 biockt

black majority, 35,000. From tbe same sources ws learn tbat of tbe qualified voters under tbe State laws, all of whom, of course, are whites, oae-fiftb will be disfranchised by tbe appllcatl«n of tbe provisions of the reconstruction acta as administered by tbe boards of registration. Under the State laws tbe qualifications for voting were white blood, the age of twentyone years, elttzensbtp In tbe United States, and residence la tbe State for one year. Tbere

•e no tax or property qualification. Deductg oae-fiftb of tbe wblte voters as dlsfraod, and counting all adult male negroes,

none of whom are disfranchised, as registered voters, it to manifest tbat tbe negro vote, out of a population wblcb has a majority of 35,000 Macks, will Immensely preponderate over

tbe wbite vote.

la other words, tbe political power is to b* overwhelmingly In tbe head* ef tbe blacks. Ias*m**f theeonnttee, note Leen,in whteb Tallabawee, tbe State capital, to included, there will be five negro votes to one while, our readers are well aware tbat these negro voters will consist of men emancipated from a condition of stoverv less than two years ago. But our readers may not be aware of the feet, although it is strictly true, tbat tbe emsacipation, excepting tbat it has conferred on the negro the power of locomotion at will, and tbe power to receive at Christmas tbe balance of what be bos earned and not consumed In tbe year preceding, bat made no praetteat change la ble habits or condition; baa don* setblof to make him a self sustaining man, or to confer upon bim any more power to taka care of himself than be bad aa a slave.

Therbotb occurred m Florida, within tbe last two months, and-w* both aignili rant of tbe nefarious agendas tbat are at work among the blacks of tbe South, tn tbe streets of Tallahassee then appeared a baadblll, announcing that on n certain evening, i certain ball, there would hem exMMttoi scenes from tbe Bible, forth# benefit of te* colored people. When the toeaearrived and tbe curtain roaa, tbere appeared a big, burly negro, pin tactically drewtd, reprew nting tie person wf Christ, with a lighted candle stuck m bis wool to give the Idea et tbe halo around teebeadofStee Savior. Twelve other negroes. Us correspond lag CMtume, represented tbe twelve apeatle*. Tb* performance oonaisted la the exhiMUea of certain scenes te the life of Jesus; and out informant states tbat the idea was understood to bar* been orlglnailr suggNted by amna whit* pesMM to tea colored performere, for lb* purpose of Incatcating tge notion tbet tb* Savior waa a Tb* perforiBMce took* op to a gas ‘ tef ***** disturbance originaudience, which wa* < i f of. blacks. Wa beg _J readers to believe tbat we have not described tbla taoxpreaalUy revolting oecurrene* without having duly verified to aa a fact. Whether It was, te point of fact, tbe suggestion of some white man, or whether it sprang from a negro origin exclusively. It shows of what tbat people are capable of receiving as apolitical Idea, tbe other anecdote, equally authenticated, will teach us. A vUlelnoae Yankee went about secretly among tea negroes te Central Florida selling them, In fours, at fifty cents each, wooden •tabes, painted red, wbite and blue, and ornamented with a small streaaser; telling them that wherever they planted those stakes at tbe four corner* ef a tract of land r She tend would becometbelrs wben the expected confiscation came. It woe rumored that be disposed of m cargo of tees* attoka, and had returned to She Norte to get another supply. Such are tbe people to whom the ment a to llkel;

ajor General rope and bis subordinate General or Colonel Sprague, who commands in teat State. To this part of our narrative, we call tbo special attention of President Johnson and General Grant. By the jury laws cf Florida, wbite citizens between tee ages of 21 and 60 are liable to be drawn as jurors. Tbs Usta for petit jurors are made by submitting to tb* grand jury a full Ret of tbe qualified voten of tee ceuuty, wblcb ef course includes only wbite men, aa above stated. From tela Hat tee grand jury strikes off tee names of all Imbeciles, drunkards, persons convicted *f or charged with crime, and others wbo are notoriously unfit to act as jurors; tee law vetting in the grand jury a large discretion. Tbe remaining names are placed In a box, each on * separate site of paper, and the jrrors are drawn from this box by tee sheriff and the clerk of the court, tn tbo presence sr tee court. By* recent order. General Pop* has directed teat tee lists of registered voters. Including, of course, negroes as well aa whites, be taken aa tbe jury Usta of tee present and future terms of tee court, and that the revision by the grand jury be entirely dispensed vsith, although tee lew of tbe dtate imperatively requires it. Of course, in many counties, tbere are liable to be ten negro jurymen drawn to two whUea; and in ail teere will be a majority of negroes oa every penal. Thus men utterly Incapable of even knowing what tbey are put tbere for, Incapable of making up a judgment on a common account; aa incapable. In feet, as so many bones or mules, are to be huddled Into a jury box. No wonder tbat tee paopte of Florida are tn consternation about tela order of tee redoubtable

Major General John Fope.

But this Is perhsps not tbe climax of General Pope’s performances. Tbe Judge of the Circuit Court for the middle circuit of Flor ids lately died. Tbe jurisdiction of this court, comprehending nine counties, te tbe most populous and Important section of the State, embraces a fUU law and equity circuit jurisdiction, corresponding to teat of tee Supreme

state of New York. Without

Court in th*

[usband, wbo three months in tbe State, and wbo made bto appearance tbere aa the inventor of a wind mill and of some patent medicines. We need not add teat be came from the Norte. Whether bto wind mill Invention secured bim tbo confidence of General Pope, tee “ windy suspSrntlona" of test gallant officer’s war proclamations might lead us to suspect; but we lave no other evidence on tbat point. Whatever the cause of afflnity, Pope, a Major GeuernMn tbe army of the United States, appoints a judge of a State court, by “general order No." so end so. The State of Florida, observe reader, by and under whose constitution and laws this court exists, to not extinguished; tee court is continued, but Msjor General Pope appoints tee judges. How many New York creditors will be likely to take Judgments In State courts whose Judges are appointed by General Pope? What will tbeir judgments be good for when they have token them? Of all tbe fantastic “tricks before high Heaven" wbtcb are performing by and under tbe reconstruction acts, these doings of General Pope are tee most recent specimen* of tee grotesque and tee absurd, but they are of tbe same character wltb tbe whole administration of a measure which sets at naught all received political ideas, and undertake* to run tbe machinery of State governments under tee command and authority of Federal military power. Perhaps the President to powerless fn tee matter. Perhaps tbe people of tbe United States are also powerless. But this remates to be seen.
