prevail at the North, tt is very evident that the Southern people experience no lively satisfaction at the real and anticipated Department changes announced from Washington. As a general thing they appea. to have arrived at the con elusion that the legislative branch of the Government has, and will continue to [-have, almost absolute control of the work of reconstruction that such being the case, it is not only useless, but worse than useless, to interpese any opposition, inasmuch as every act of resistance merely adds to the radical momentum and to the severity of their own conditions. They have become convincod of the folly of longer persistence in political recalcitra tion when no good can come from it. £50 we infer from the comments of the better class of Southern journals upon recent events.

The object of the company is to develop the capabilities for cotton raising in countm* other thanjtlie United States. The blockade of Southern ports gave additional life to the Association, but now, that the war bas ceased, it has relapsed into its former languid condition. The publication of instructions ?ud the distribution of fre*b seed, has resulted in renewed exertions in Turkey, India andJBrazil. The managing committee report that they havo partially succeeded in somo of the objects, having removed difficulties, revived confidence at promoted cultivation. However, there always appears to be some essential obstaclo to complete success, and the operatives use tho saw-gin in such a way as to injure the staple. Under these circumstances the cotton is unsalable.

soerns to
portend some terrible to-do in the politica world in a few days but we have an ab dine conviction that so far as the South is concerned, we are still only 'swinging round the same old circle —and wo say nothing is going tw happen-to our good. •'We have only too clearly defined ideas as to what is calculated to contribute toward relieving the South of its present embarrdssing situation the first is tha President Johnson shall keep quiet the second is that the Northern Democracy shall disband. It is this Noithern Democracy that is the occasion and the apology for the continued fusilade of the South after their arms have bean laid down for two years. They say they are going to carry Ohio—and what good is that going to do to anybody? Can they carrv the United States The Southern States they cannot carry how many
Northern States can they carry? how many? Tb* people seem to us deranged —and us reckless of the sufferings of the South tif they are mud. So far us words can do it the Northern Democracy undoubtedly keep the fig of the rebel}im flying. Whether they do or not, they are regarded as so dointi by the public sense of the North. The" public mind there does not distinguish between them and the South a Pennsylvania or Vermont farmer naturally concludes that Air, Pepdleton and General Wise are in sympathy with each other, and if Mr. Pendleton recummends the repudiation of the national debt, the Pennsylvania or Vermont farmer believes that the South is already scheming to inflict that fatal stab on thu national faith.''
The Charleston Courier, in ccmrjQent'ng upon tho removal of General Sickles,
says ''While good may come of these chang"es, the result is, at best, doubtful. The mere excitement, unrest and anxiety, attendant upon these changes is prejudicial in its (ifl'ect on the peace, the business and prosperity of the country.''
The Richmond Whig says: '•There in one fact that should notescape the careful attention of the Southern people, and that is that the work of reconstruction still goe3 on under the acts •of Congress, and that there is
to
human
eyes no possibility of better terms being offered to us. 'Mr. Johnson himself stands committed to the "faithful execution of those acts.' If we, powerless as we are, trust ourselves upon the arena, and take part with him in his war upon his multitude of enemies, when Congress assembles our last state will bo infinitely worse than our first. Our true policy is to abide the tempest that is now sweeping over the country, shelter ourselves as well as we can, follow the appointed track of reconstruction, and be in a situation to be benefited rather than injured by the ccurseof affairs.
The Danville (VirginU) Times remarks "We must accept tho term3 of reconstruction demanded by Congress, because we can not do better Somo say nevor they prefer to remain under military government. But they lose sight of Ibe fact tluit Congress may not give them their choice. Besides, it may not be bet tor to live under military government.— Wo may not always have such an officer as' General Schofield to rule over us and we may h.ivc negro suffrage, and negro officers, and military -..overnment, too. •'It ismostunwie not to accept the tonus of tho conquer. Those who refuse ought surely to he made to dictate terms. But wo have no power, our soldiers have surrendered."
These and other expressions of South ern opinion indicate that tho sagacious portion of the South view with no favor tho prospect of a prolongation of strife between the two branches of the Government. They have no sympathy with Northern democrats in their efforts to rekindle the fires of reconstruction excitement, aud to widen tho breach between the Executive and Congress.
NOTWITHSTANDING the fact- that the Fenian Convention met in secret session at Cleveland, tho proceedings appear to havij leaked out. Except on account of the mischief which has already been done by this organization, and the fear that further harm may result from the insane actions of the leaders, it would bo a waste of time to pay any attention to its proceedings. The time for Feniun success ha.- passed. Whether the object is to attack Canada, or to promote an insurrection in Ireland, any attempt that may be made is sure to fail. The British Government is fully informed of the schemes of these misguided men, and fully prepared to meet them whenever and wherever they may be made. As previ.us attempts to annoy great Britain have failed, it may be assumed that nothing can be done hereafter that will succeed It is, therefore, a fraud to keep up this organization, and a robbery of tbe poor people from whom contributions sire solicited. If it is true that the Irish chambermaids of Troy lately held a meeting und resolved that the Fenian fraud was "played out," and that they would give no more of their hard earnings for tho support of the leaders in the imposi tion- They acted wisely. Whether there was such meeting or not can mako but iiula difference. The real or assumed sentiment.* of the chambermaids of Troy ought to be those of overy son and daughter of Ireland in the United States.
According to tbe report thore was considerable talk in the Convention and very brave resolutions entered into. The "Secretary of War" reported that the grand army^consisted of ninet^-tbree hundred men, not enough to subdue Canada and revolutionize the British Empire. For the supply of. those heroes, there are several stand of muskets, batteries of can* Don, sabres and pistols, in quantity enough to allow every man to carry one pistol, two guns and three sabres. The Brother-
hood resolve that tbey will men to their circles, for the very lant reason crets." that icoiuwiiv ., iu. in England and Ireland, and that W British detectives did not discov
1T is announced by the confederate democratic organs of the country that tbe result of the reconstruction policy of Congress will be the establishment of no. gro supremacy in the South, and such supremacy, we are gravely assured, is pregnant with disaster to the whole Union.— But do those who assume this position themselves believe in the probability of such a state of things being brought about by means of that policy We are persuaded they do not, and that this bugbear is simply employed by them in the hopes of diverting attention from the real issues involved in the struggle between the
President and Congress. At any rate, if they do believe in it, that fact stamps them as utterly unfit to be trusted or respited as guides of public opinion. The thing is monstrously absurd, and would be hardly worthy of serious attention were it not so manifestly mischievous in intention and tendency. It is true that the black-i of the South, as a class, are heart and soul with the Radicals, a fact which does them infinite credit. For why, let us ask, have they allied them solves with the Radical party Because, we answer, they havo sense enough know who are their true friends, and heart enough to be sincerely grateful those through whose instrumentality the groat boon of emancipation was conferred upon them. They understand very much better than many of their detractors what the late war meant, and they have wisely resolved to stand by the men who are de termined that the long and bloody con flict shall not have been waged in vain.' Tbey are with tho Radical party solely on tho ground that it is the party of free dom. It is the grand question of liberty —of the full enjoyment, under irreversible guarantees, of civil and political righta upon which their attention is now fixed to the exclusion from their thoughts the collateral issuea of the political fight between Democrats and Republicans
Let the two great parties in the Union change sjde3 —if that were possible morrow let the Democrats become the champions of American citizenship on the broad ground now occupied by tho Re publicans, and let the Republicans ignore the principle of equal rights lor all, and the colored people, both of the North and the South, we are sure, would immediately change sides too. Politics is not aques tion of race, and the colored man is not by nature any more of a Radical or Con servative, as the case may be, than the white man. Circumstances may make him a Radical but circumstances maybe equally potent in making bim a Conser vative. Do him justice let him have all his rights as a citizen, and he will no more vote by race, so to speak, than the white man. The blacks in the South are a unit now, because they instinctively apprehend that the work to be done there in their in teresls imperatively demands that thoy should act together as one man, When reconstruction shall have been happily ac complished, on a solid basis of justice, we may expect to find tbe particular bond which now unites them for a special ob ject loosened, and to find them ranging themselves, precisely as their white fellow citizens, on different sides in the peaceful conflict* which tho development of new issues on questions of national importance will bring about.
If we look to those countries in which the blacks have for many years enjoyed political rights, we shall find nothing whatever giving countenance to the pe culiar views of the alarmists. On the contrary, it is notorious that in Jamaica and other British West India colonies of the freedmen have repeatedly given their suffrages to white candidates for legisla tive and municipal honors, in preference to black candidates, on tho ground both of identity of political views, and of the superior fitness of the former for the re sponsible duties of public life. Thoy know but little of the black man who imagine that he can be easily made a dupe of by demagogues. His aptitude in reading character is something extraordi nary—as all must know who have had dealings with him and where the rights of property are concerned—where pro' tection of life and property is in question where the maintenance of lawful authority is at is?ue^— he is a conservative in his sentiments as the most violent Tory who ever shouted for King and Constitution. The cry of negro supremacy in the South is an artful ruse, but it is at the same time piece of arrant nonsense.
THE Chicago Times announces that the Democracy "will not hold themselves responsible for President Johnson's Ad« ministration.' We do not know anything that the democratic party is responsible for. It is an entirely irresponsible organization, without power, principle or platform. It will not be even responsible for the "here the goes, there she goes" course of ths Chicago Times.
THE Cincinnati Commercial ot Monday morning says that "a duel took place near Connersville, Indiana, on Thursday morning, between Hon. J. W. Carmichael, formerly of tbe State Senate, and James W. Mayo, a lawyer in Indianapolis. Two rounds were fired: the first resulted in a §osh wound to Carmichael. In the secondt Mayo received the discharge in the region of his heart, and was taken from the ground by his friends and a surgeon. The pffair originated from the fact that Car* michael had accused Mayo with cheating at tbe gaming table."

beg loaf® to -11 the attention of your readers to the '.ubject of the time of pay. ment ot the national debt.
The total debt on tho first of the present month, less tlie amount of cash in the Treasury, was $'2,492,783,365, and includes $365,164,844 of greenbacks or legal tender notes, and $29,392,172 in fractional currency. The total bonded debt, at the same time, including old bonds, issued before 1861, was $1,732,361,510 40.
Of this amount one hundred and sinety eight millions four hundred and thirtyone thousand three hundred dollars ($198,431,300) draw five per cent, interest and fall .due in 1904, and are what are com* monly called
:'Ten
Forties." Two hun
dred and eighty-three millions six hundred and seventy-six thousand one hundred dollars ($283,676,100), drawing six per cent, interest, fall due in 1881. Twelve hundred and five millions seven hundred and ten thousand five hundred dollars, ($1,205,710,500) draw six percent, interest and fall due in 1882, '84, '85 and '87, and are what are commonly callcd "Five Twenties." Tbe interest on all these bonds is payable in coin. There were outstanding on the first of the present month four hundred millions seven hundred and eighty-six thousand and twentyfive dollars (400,786,025) of three years' "Seven Thirty" notes, due in June aud July, 1868.
The law creating the "Ten Forty" bondB provides that the Government shall have the right to redeem them at any time after ten years from ths date of their issue, and this right of redemption will accrue in 1874. Tbe law creating the "five twenties" provides that tbe Government may redeem 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, '7Q and '72.
The right to redeem these different bonds at tbe expiration of five and ten years, as above stated, is a mere privilege reserved by tbe Government to be exercised or not according to its convenience, and there is no moral or legal obligation to pay off one of them a hour before it is due. When these laws were passed it was supposed it might be to tho interest of the governmeni to payoff 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 democratic politicians that the Government shall at onco pay off in greenbacks all the bonds which it has a right to reedeem, and shall continue to do so from year to year, as the right to redeem shall accrue, until the whole is paid, whieh would thus be done in seven years and the moro violent are insisting on the immediate discharge of the whole debt by compelling our creditors to take an equal amount of greenbacks to be issued for that purpose,
Tha latter proposition would require the immediate issue of more than two billions of greenbacks, and tbe former the issue of alike sum within seven years, and either would be clearly fatal to the credit and the prosperity of the 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 1868 but tjje Government has the privilege of reedeeming them in 1867.
According to the last monthly statement of the Treasury Department, there arc now absolutely due and must be paid on presentment, various notes, bonds and certificates of indebtedness amounting to nineteen millionb four hundred and forty thousand three three hundred seventy-five dollars and eighty-sev-en cents. There are six per cent bonds falling due in 1867-68, and must thou be paid, amounting to fourteen millions eight hundred and ninety-one dollars and eighty cents.
There are of three years compound inr terest notes, which will fall due in 1868, and must then be paid, seventy-eight millions eight hundred and tbirty-nino thousand six hundred dollars. How shall the Government get the greenbacks to pay the debts that are due next year, and to redeem the five hundred and fourteen millions of five-twenties
There are three ways First.j By issuing new bonds and redeeming with the proceeds of their sale but this would make a new debt of like amount, as the time has not oome 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 6ix hundred millions of greenbacks, and this operation must be repeated from 'year to year until after 1874.
What effect this would havo upon the value of the currency and the business of he country need not be discussed, forn jne are so stupid as not to understand it,
If this vast body of currency is to be redeemed, then the debt is not paid, but has only changed its form. Jf it is not to be redeemed, then it will not be worth the paper upon which it ii printed, and re*! pudiation and commercial ruin will be the result. The present vaule of greenbacks
good
I would reduce tha rate of taxation to th6 lowest point that would defray the expenses^ the Government, economically administered, and pay the interest and maturing obligations, and leave the principal of the bonded debt to be disobarged in other and better times.
Who ever before heard of a nation while still exhausted from war, and with wounds unhealed, attempting to pay off the war debt? Foreign nations may admire our ambition in this respect, but would despise our discretion. The national taxes can be reduced by the adoption of the policy I propose, and by the honest and faithful collection of the internal revenue.
In fifteen years, and possibly in five the difference in value between gold and greenbacks will have ceased to exist, by a gradual return to specie payment, and the question of tha mode of payment of the bonds, whether in gold or greenbacks, will have become unimportant. Specie payments can be reached without con« tracting tho currency, by waiting a reas sonabta time, until tuccessful reconstruction and the growth of wealth and business has brought the country up to the existing volume of currency without a financial convulsion.
Tho decline of gold 200 to 40 brought a corresponding reduction in the price of property, attended with great loss and derangement of business. Another inflation of tho currency would be attended with another ascent and descent of prices, and with immense disaat«rs to the nation. What the country needs is repose and stability in our financial policy, and without thuso trade and prosperity must languish. When our debt was contracted, the men who now clamor for its immediate payment denounced bonds and greenbacks as alike worthless, and dissuaded tbe people from lending their money to c.trry on the war and my opinion i?, they mean uo better to the country now than they did then. Now, as then, their efforts is to destroy the publio credit.
The proposition to pay tho public debt in advance is unnecessary, impvicticable and destructive, and would result in ben etit t« none, unless it would be tho gold gamblers, and they would ultimately be hoisted by their owr. Petard," ai they were at the close of the war.
The national debt, can be paid without oppressing the country, not by "hot house" experiments, spasmodic efforts, or violation ol" the public faith, but by the solid growth of tha country in population, wealth and prosperity, under tho administration of a stable financial policy.

SyThS S T'JBNER'.S TiCBOLOKOUREUX 0B die in the hands of the last holder, sun not be sustained by making it a legal tent der or by any other legislative contrivance. Not one dollar of the bonded debt will fall due before fourteen yenr?, and it will then become due at different periods running down to 1904. Can any
reason be given for paying it
SO
long in advance? The country
has not yot recovered from the
war. Trade and commerce still languish throughout the land. Nine States are disorganized and desolate and can scarce pay anything for years to come. The rebellious South caused the debt to be created, but whatever is paid ri the next live or six years must coma almost entirely from the North. Why not wait at least until the South can pay part? AVhy not wait until the country hat recovered from the shock and waste of war? Has not this generation put down the rebellion and done its part, and may it not justly leave the payment of part of the debt to the next? This generation has to discharge a large State, county and municipal indebtedness growing out of the war, and within the next ten years will have to pay not less than $400,000,000 for pensions and bounties, besides extraordinary expenses for Indiun wars and other causes. In ten years our population will have increased ten mil lions, and our taxable property nearly doubled in value. In ten years a tax of twice in amount can be borne easier than tho tax of to-day.
Within ten years the Southern States will be reconstructed and in the enjoyment of comparative prosperity. Within ten years, and perhaps within Eve, the increase of population, wealth and capital will enable tbe government to sell at par bonds bearing a much lower rate of interest than tbe present, and thus consolidate and reduce the debt.
Should the Government find itself at any time in possession of coin or currency that can be applied to the reduction of the debt, it should of course be promptly applied but any attempt to pay the bonded debt in advance by heavy taxation, or by inflating the currrency, will be unnecessary, unwise, and injurious. 1 would pay the interest promptly, according to the contract. I would pay off our currency obligations and other debts as they mature, and »ee to it that the public debt should under no circumstances be ia«rea«ed.
