Dclci.dn est Carthago The only Remedy
tor Southern Tyranny.
Tub barbarity and oppression which charac
terized the conduct of the Southern planters
lr their dc:. lings with their late ulaves Imme
diately afi r the conclusion of the war, were
attributed by many to that natural revulsion
of fueling incident upon the total destruction
of all their .icconccived notions of 'propriety.
We agree villi our ably edited contemporary,
The rrc,v ;cn It says that "no one expected
that the ?n t social and industrial change
involved in : :ancipation could be produced
without seri s confusion; and as the South
was compi- ,! to complete this tardy act of
justice at a ! aent when she was reduced to
the utmoi-t . utution by the war, Its inherent
difficulties .. .. iv intensified by her impoverish
ment" But at the ' ie time we cannot avoid the
thought that South lias certainly bad time
to show sod . mptoms of willingness to con
form to the . ' regime. Nine months have
elapsed sinci ! power of rebellion ceased,
yet treason s, :. continues to wander to and
fro, showin;' o signs of weariness. What
was at first lained by a natural indigna
tion at the (a . J of their schemes is rapidly
becoming clu . :; and unless some steps are
taken to r:i . 'j the evil, we will see it esta
blished ptiL . tntly in the cotton-growing
States. 'J . . t that the day Is far spent, and
yet no good r . omplishcd, is gradually dawn
ing upon a ' ; iiies at the North. Even those
who have I n most favorably inclined
towards the k icnt policy are growing restive
under tlw i utinual postponement of any
ign of rin. :.;nce, of any returning of a
spirit of ti..iy. The recent action of the
S( uth Carol u a. Legislature has had the effect
of Stirling nany lrom the fond belief that
fl c Iiebels v v re receiving the kindness ex
tmlfd them in good faith. Lest we be
'jonght to put a prejudicial construction on
le "Palmetto" code recently adopted by the
. islature of that Commonwealth, we will
cujtutj account as published in the New
o: k lime: a paper exclusively directed by
u. 11 en it y J. Raymond, the leader of the
i rerv.'iive Republican wing of the House.
. -'y u one can accuse him of entertaining
. predjudices against the Southern people,
s paper testifies to their hardness of
" c i-i.d love of tyranny. lie says:
.. .. ido u icreut blunder (which politically is
. tu u crime) in insisting upon, virtually
... ..feting ine Ireedmen in ita law code and
iU, by drawing judicially a marked line
. .i tlie two races. In amending tan crimi
1 . . of the State, these astute repre8enta,,ive3
. . ..ud in iramins; what might not innppro
. be Btyli d a bloody code. In making the
I ol a bale ot cotton or a horse a capital
. , without benefit ol e'ergy, they have reu
u convieiion lor such an oll'enae almost
iblo. In prescribing long years of cou
i jnt at hard labor lor certain otl'cnses when
.o is no penitentiary in the State, and many
r Districts have net even a common fai'L, -t'ic
v .uive been guilty of a palpable absurdity,
.in. in adding to the lust of penalties tor
collie the odious feature cf the lash 111 the
c: - ol freedmen, they clearly lose sight
o that ppirit which now rules Congress aud
M. country, and which watches with jealous
e e aud remorseless determination every move
ment made at the South. It woul t hae been
bt't.er to have dispensed with all this cumber
some and odious legal and judicial machinery;
to nave drawn no such distinction on oar statute,
b' oks between the white man and the black;
but to have embraced and included all under
the common law of the land which, with some
tiipht. rooditications, would have answered every
purpose, been more acceptable to the people,
una less oll'ensive to our Republican Iricnds who
sit in high places. As it is there are many who
believe that this necro code will never receive
the sanction of the National Government; that
the District Courts will never be allowed to go
into operation; that Generals Grant and Howard
will be more fully than ever persuaded that the
time baa not yet come vhen (he military caa bo
removed from our midst, or the Provost Courts
cease their jurisdiction over the freedmen of the
South."
While many of the provisions of this code,
in which Dkaco would have luxuriated, are
rendeied inoperative by their over-severity,
yet still they show the spirit which actuates
the rulers of Southern opiaion. It lays before
the North the fact that the love f power and
spirit of dominant prejudice still is in force.
At the very moment that the fact of the
passage of this black code is received, comes
the intelligence that Senator Trumbull
will move a bill in the Senate, yne object ol
which is to enlarge the powers of the Freed
men's Bureau, and the other to protect all
persons In the United States in their civil
rights, and furnish the means of their vindica
tion. The first provides that in Insurrec
tionary districts where, by State law or cus
tom, any of the civil rights belonging to white
persons are denied t negroes or mulattoes,
or where they are subjected to different pun
ishment than is prescribed for whites, the
officers and agents of the Freedmen's Bureau
shall, so long as such discrimination con
tinues, have jurisdiction of all cases affecting
such negroes or mulattoes. It also provides
for punishing by line and imprisonment,
through the courts of the Freedmen's Bureau,
any person who shall subject a negro or
mulatto, in consequence of his race or color,
to any other or different punlshmont than is
prescribed for white persons, or shall deny
any civil rights which belong to the white
race. The judicial powers exercised by the
Freedmen's Bureau to cease whenever the
States where it is exercised are fully restored
In all their constitutional relations to the
Government.
THE DAILY EVENING TELKGUAPII. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY S, 1806.
This bill, coming as it does at the very tntf
ment of Ike receipt cf the South Carolina
news, Is most opportune, and will, we earnestly
hope, receive tbe assent of both tha Legisla
tive and Executive branches of our Govern
ment. Some such step is emphatically neces
sary. We believe that the President is con
scientious in his line of policy, and that he
will approve of any measure calculated to
protect the freedmen. The past history of
Mr. Johnson warrants us in the belief that
the straightforward honesty of purpose which
has always characterized him from the time
of bis first entrance into public life until his
elevation to the highest position in the land,
will continue now, and that, should the South
continue ungrateful, tyrannous, and treache
rous, that he will be amon the first to use the
rod. He is giving them a trial, but it is dan
gercus to submit a race to the power of such
wolves as the late Southern slaveholder!. It
may be an interesting psychological experi
ment, but it is unjust to those whom we have
pledged ourselves to dclcnd. We therefore
trust the bill will receive the support of the
whole Union party, and act as a restraint to
prevent a continuance of the policy advocated
and adopted in the "bloody eode of South
Carolina."
"Whosoeveb Putteth nis Hand to
the Plough." The last number of the
Liberator lays before us. For thirty-five
years William Lloyd Garrison, with a
fidelity and courage which morit admiration
even from his foes, has continued the publica
tion of an anti-slavery journal, in the midst of
calumny, hatred, threatenings, and abuse.
But poorly supported in the North, and bit
terly hated in the South, with little or no
sympathy, he has braved danger, and done
what he esteemed his duty. True, he was
fanatical; his radicalism was in advance of
his age; he anticipated the results years
before they came ; yet still he was brave and
honest, and merits our admiration, although
not our support And now he says that his
work is done, his end accomplished, and will
therefore discontinue his journal. Let him
speak for himself.- Here is his valedictory,
set up with his own hand, in the last number :
"The old covenant with death is annulled, and
the agreement with hell no loneer stands. Hail,
redeemed, regenerated Amer.ca! Hail, North
and South, Kast and West! Hail, the cause of
l'eace, of Liberty, of Righteousness, thus
mightily ntreugthenod and signally glorified 1
Hail, the Present, with its transcendent cl iims,
its new duties, its imperative obligations, its
8ti bhme opportunities ! Hail! the Future, with
its pregnant hopes, its glorious promises, its
illimitable powers ol' expansion and develop
ment! Hail, ye ransomed millions, no more to
be chained, scourged, mutil ited, bought and sold
in the market, roDbed of all rights, htintud as
partridges upon the mountains in your flight to
obtain deliverance lrom bondage, branded an 1
scorned us a connectina link between the human
race and tli.a brute creation 1 Hai', all nations,
tribes, kindred, and people, 'made of one
blood.' intere'ted in a common redemption,
heir- of the same immorial destiny! Hail,
angels in glory, and spirits ot the just made per
fect; and tune your harp? anew, singing, ' Great
and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Al
niiehty; jurtand true are thy ways, thou Knur of
SSaiutsl Who shall not fear thee, 0 Lord, aud
glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for
all nations shall come aud worship before thee;
lor thy judgments are made manifest.'"
Wo reerct that the Liberator is discon
tinued. So far the "old convenant" has been
but nominally annulled ; the "agreement" is
only partially destroyed. True, the blacks
are fiee by law. but the work is far from ac
complished. Why Mr. Garrison should
cease his publication when that race for which
he has so long fought is just out of servitude;
when his advice has triumphed, and they are
lree why he should discontinue now, before a
light is found them to guide their steps in a
new and unbroken path, is inexplicable. Can
it be that he is weary with the struggle? I?
it a displeasure to him to stand by the race
and protect them, as much as he did when
they were not yet free ? It is a desertion ; it is a
turning back befoi-e the work is accomplished.
Tbe general who would send in his resigna
tion the moment the line was broken, and
while yet the foe had not surrendered, would
be recreant to his country ; and this has been
Mr. Garrison's action. When veterans like
him take off the armor and doff the gown, the
effect is discouraging to the new recruits, and
detrimental to the cause for which he has so
long been battling.
Our ScnooL System. The report of Mr.
Cobubn, State Superintendent of the Com
mon Schools, will be submitted in a few days.
A compendium of its contents has been laid
before us. It says that, on the 1st of June,
1803, the whole number of school districts
at that time, exclusive ot Philadelphia, was
1837, of schools 12,546, and of pupils 629,587,
but the average attendance was only 396,701 ;
5641 male teachers were employed, or about
1300 less than in the previous year. The
female teachers increased during the year
from 7764 to 8645, and the total expenditures
of the school system, exclusive of Philadel
phia, for tuition, fuel, and buildings, increased
in the same period from $2,390,900 to
$2,775,484-00. The average monthly pay of
male teachers in the State during the last
school year was only $3182, and of female
only $24-21. In Philadelphia there are 876
free schools ; 74,343 pupils, with an average
attendance of 80s per cent.; 84 male teach
ers and 1194 female teachers.
It is interesting to see the average increase
during the last ten years, as shown by the
following table:
1(166 1.445 10,419 12,118 629 009

The decrease in the number of pupils during
the past year is unaccountable. We can see
no good reason for such a lalilng off. Tbe
extent ion of the scope of usefulness of the
tree school system has kept pace with the
Increase of our population, and we hope that
the day is not far distant when every citizen
of Pennsylvania will and must necessarily
have a competent knowledge ot the rudlmen
tal branches of a good English education.

Death of a New York Journalist. The sud.
den death of Gerard IIallock, for many years
one of the proprietors and principal editors of
the New York Journal of Commerce, will be read
with regret by his many warm friends. Mr. Hal
lock was the son of the Rev. Moses IIallock,
the veuerablc pastor of the Congregational
Church in Plainfield, Massachusetts, where he
was born in 1801. In early lite he commenced
the study of theology under the auspices of his
father, intending to devote himself to the work
of the ministry; but circumstances occurred
which required his removal to New York. He
naturally tended towards literary pursuits, and
soon becamo connected with the daily journals.
He was at firet connected with the New York
Observer, but afterwards associated himself with
Mr. Hale in the publication of the Journal of
Commerce. In politics he was an ardent Demo
crat, and during the Rebellion was a warm op
ponent of Mr. Lincolu'o Administration. It was
universally conceded that he acted lrom honest
impulses, and his entirely blameless llfo made
him friends among those who could not respect
his political sentiments. . IIo was an active par
ticipator in the religious and benevolent schemes
ol the city in which he lived, and his ample
means gave him the ability to do much good in
a quiet and unostentatious way. His denth is a
loss to New York, as he was a public-spirited
citien, and deeply interested in some of the
most important projects now in courso of per
fection. A Conimuuicnlluo.

Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter
Sessions. Judges Allison and Ludlow. The
case of Jetierson Spnnier, indicted for the mur
der of Patrick J. Concannon, was concluded
yesterday. The Commonwealth produced wit
nesses to the occurrence, whose testimony
showed conclusively that Spanier inflicted the
stab which caused the death of Concannon, but
it also showed that the wound was given while
the parties were in actual conflict, aud that the
prisoner was drunk.
The testimony lor the Commonwealth having
closed, Mr. Rcmak, after consultation with the
prisoner, whom he defended, and also with the
District Attorney, and with the consent of the
Court, said to the jury that it had been agreed
that they should render a verdict of guilty of
manslaughter.
Judge Allison stated to the .jury that a verdict
of guilty of murder in the first degree could not
be sustained under the evidence, and that for
manslaughter, as the law now stood, as heavy
punibhment could be imposed as tor murder in
the second degree. A verdict of guilty of man
slaughter was accordingly reudered, and thus
the case terminated.
Commonwealth vs. John Connor. The de
fendant in indicted fwith Lewis Wessels and
Patrick Connor as accessories) lor the murder of
a youth named Michael Fitzgerald, on the eveu
iner of October 31, 1865, by shooting him with a
pistol. The Court granted a motion on Dcnau
ol the defendant that they should have separate
trials. A jury was, therefore, directed to bo
empannelled to try John Connor's case only.
The killing took place at a tavern at I'aschal
vllle, Twenty-fourth Ward, kept by John Neild.
The two Coniiers and Wessels. it teems, entered
the tavern, in which, it being Hallowe'en, were
a number of lids and younir men fancilully
dressed, and enioying themselves. The Conners
and Wessels had drinks, aud a dispute arose as
to payment for them.
A nuarrel then commenced between them and
a parly of boys who were there lor the purpose
ot irivinff serenade. John Connor started tor
