H agnnnlmlt)- of Admiral Scmuics,
From the Vrilmne.
We liko niopnnnimity. It is ono of tho rarest
and noblest t Virtues, nnd In the smallest quan
tities Khould be thaukiully accepted. How
grateful should we then be for the overflow of
this virtue Rraonir, the Rebels ever slnoe Mr.
Johnson, with bis usual propriety, put the
Union In the position of an epaloeist for Its
victory. "We are a brave and ftalunt pepel,"
says John Pesky," "iiu nnv dun our best to
distroi the Union, and wo don't regret wot we
hav dun, but onlcy that wo didunt sukieed.
But our boley caws is roolml, and therefor we
chierfully gtv It up." With ecuial srenerosity,
General Wade Hampton, who asserts that "the
South it, and ever tins been, lojal, in the proper
acuso of the term," is willititf notwithstanding
tbo Bliamelul breach of lultti of which the North
is guilty, and the "cruel and unnecessary war
it wacod that the Krbel States xhomd take
their old places in the Union. So Mr. Stephens,
' ot (Jeonna, 'te Vice-President of theConfede
racy will reluctantly consent to take his seat In
the Uniled States Senate, and perhnps Mr. Davis
might be persuaded to go back wittt bun.
Robert K. Lee, bo Southern papers nobly ur?o,
would be the v rv man to take command of a
Union army, as, liavtue done his bast to destroy
the Gov mment, he ouaht to know how to de
fend it. Examples of this kind arj numerous,
and the South is full of chivalrous Rebels who
are wi Iintr to lorget f be shameful behavior of
the North, and endure the drudgery of office
and the painful humiliation ol a share in tne
(iovernnient.
15ut occasionally we meet with a Rebel who
rerues to forgive our crimes. "Admiral
Semmes," says the Augusta Chronicle and Sen
tinet, "has a-ked from the Federal Government
no office, and we doubt, tronf our knowlodge of
the man, if he culd be induced to accept one
it featured. " What I can this be possible f
Have all Mr. Johnson's labors to purify the
Government and make it ht tor. Southern gen
tlemen to take part in been vain f Here we
have a President who declares that the leaders
of the Union party are as much traitors as tae
leaders of the Rebellion ; who answers all talk
of the barminir ot Jell. Davis by sugge-dug the
bangmg of Toad. Stevens: who describes the
Coueress ol the United Stales as an illegal and
unconstitutional body; aid yet the chivalrous
fcemmts rclusts to be mollified 1 He hai asked
no position of the (iovernnient! Startlinq;
news, which will alarm the nation. What is
worse, be cannot be induced to accept one.
Yet, when we . recall bis distinguished career
at sea, and tbo list of American ves
sels robbed and burned by the Alabama,
it Is easy to imagine what value he
would be to the Navy Department. Of course,
he could take nothing l"?s than an Admiralty:
but he declines everything. Yet ltwasbuta
little while since toe "Admiral" was in some
danger ot being offered a position by the Govern
ment, and a very elevated one, which it would
not have been in bis power to refcise. B it the
Government, with its accustomed brutal wapt
ot macnanimity, refused to lorea' that honor
upon the gallant rover, and is justly punished
by his dignified refusal to have any thine to do
with it. The moral of the situation which Mr.
Johnson has so ably brought aoout is under
stood by the Chronic'e and Sentinel, and we are
certain of the truth ot it statement: "While
neither the South nor its distinguished citizens
are disposed to abuse the National Government,
we are very sure that none of us eel in any
degree grateful for the way in which we have
been treafd. The magnanimity of the Federal
Government we entirely lail to perceive or
appreciate." ,
Prospect of a Reduction In Duties auil
Taxes.
From the Herald.
We have information whtcb leads us to be
lieve that the Revenue Commission, appointed
to make Investigations Into the subject of re
venue and to report thereon, will recommend a
reduction on taking off entirely the tax on
manufactures and raw articles, as well as a re
duction of the income tax, probably to three
per cent, on Incomes over a thousand dollars,
and Tutting it off on all under that amount. It
is believed, too, that tLe Secretary of the Trea
sury will endorse this recommendation in his
own repc rt to Congress next December.
To show the importance of tne views of this
Commti-sion and the probability that Cougres3
may act upon tbem, we call attention to the de
clared object which the Secretary of the Trea
sury and Congress had lu creating a Commis
sion. When Mr. Fessendcn was Secretary he
recommended in his repoi t tor 1861 ttiac Con
gress should authorize him to appoint a Com
mission, to be composed' of three suitable and
etlicicnl officers, to take into consideration the
entire revenue system of the country, loreign as
well as iuternal, to sift it thoroughly, and to
make such recommendations for improving it as
their Investigations might suggest. This met the
approval of Congress. That body saw that a
Commission of this character was the best to
take np the subject, that it would have nothing
else to occupy itself with, and that it would
have the entire period bet ween the Thirty-eighth
and Thirty-ninth Congratses to consider the im
portant matter. The Commission was created
accordingly, and was composed of three gentle
men selected especially on account ol their expe
rience and ability as polit cal economists and
statisticians. It has been in session since last
spring, and has goae through a vast amount of
work. Producers, manufacturers, merchants,
and consumers have been examined by it, and
statistics have been compiled With great care
upon the whole subject. The result of these
labors will be found in the. forthcoming report
which we refer to, and in the recommendation,
which we undorstand will be made both by the
Commission and tho Secretary of the Treasury,
for a reduction ot duties and taxes.
This will be gratifying intelligence tS the
whole country, lor while we are able to bear the
present burdent,and have borne them without a
murmur, there is no necessity to raise a super
abundaut revenue. In tact, to do so only leads
to extravagance, corruption, and demoraliza
tion. The revenue tne last tiscul year ap
proached tlx hundred millions, and it is esti
mated that it will reach between six and seven
hundred millions the year endmj a i8,;7. The
interest on the debt In round numbers is a hun
dred and fifty millions. The current expenses
of the Government ouaht not to exceed a &uu
dred and fifty millions more, including oen
sion, support of the Freedmen's Bureau, and for
claims crowing out of the war, as well as for
thn Rurnort ot the regular departments of Gov
ernment. This Is really a high estimate, and
minht lie reduced probably the first year. Jt
.prtninlv would be too lar?e for times of peace
alter we have disposed of claims growing out ot
the war and tne rreeumen's isureau. men
thprA nhoulJ be a permanent Finklncr fund
established, which need not exceed titty millions
Vrfm three hundred to three hundred and
fifty millious would be an ample revenue. But it
CouKress will abolish the present national bank
svstem. or ra her u it will substitute non-in
terest beailnB legal-tenders lor tne present
' national bank currency, and with these legal-
tenders buy up the Interest-bearing bon is which
the banks deposit as security tor their issue.
ami rirauf Interest from, a great rcauetton can
be made in our expenditures. Twenty millions
a vear at leant, would be saved a suui which
now Is an absolute crratultv to the monopolilug
and dangerous national bank corporations. This
sum might form the fluking fund, which of
itself at compound interest would liquidate the
debt within thirty-five years. In that case the
entire revenue tor current expenses, iuterest and
all. need not exceed three hundred "millions.
Jiall the present revenue-ball' our present taxes
f w
ai'd dutlrg would bcsufllcicnt lKal' t lose pur
poses it the Secretary ol the Trrnnury an I Con
Kress have ability enough to establish a pr jper
tinanc.el svslcm.
Iiet uh hope that In the proposed reduction of
duties and taxes Mr. McCulloch aud Congress
will not Inrget the Soutn, that section of our
country which bus no opportunity of speaking
for itself. An onerous Ux lies heavily on the
production ol a people who are crushed to the
earth by poverty and mlsiortiines. The tax on
cotton should be the first to be abolished. The
South and the Southern people are least ablc.of
any under their present distress to bear a tax on
piodui.tion. We want to stimulate the produc
tions ot that splendid sec ion of the republic
and not to cheek them. Looking, then, at our
immense superfluous income, we are gratified
to see tbat there Is a prospect of our burdens
being lightened everywhere. South as we'l as
North, and that we may hope to take a ne and
statesmanlike course in our financial system a?
well as In our foreign policy.
The Southern Leader and the Constl
tutlonal Amendment.
From the Time.
The feature of the Constitutional amendment
to which the South most emphatically objects,"
Is that which excludes from office the promi
nent actors in the Rebellion. If, Is evident that
neither tho adjustment of representation on the
basis ol voters, instwid of population, nor the
general affirmation of the principle embodied
in tho Civil Ripuls net, would constitute an in
superable hairier to ratification. But tne impo
sition ol (li aDilitks ou the Southern leaders,
civ 1 and military, exclics ttrong and apparently
unyielding opposition.
'i'he movlng-L'pring to the opposition t ) this
section of tho ameudmeut is creditable to the
good laith and personal honor of the Southern
people. They oblect to penalties to be paid
by too?e wnom their continence lifted into
positions of eminence and trust, nnd who by
reason of their prouiinnce are to be singled
out for punishment. It is argued that what
ever disabilities are to be imposed should in
equity apply equally to tho whole South, an 1
that theie would be dishonor and cowardice,
with a smack of ingratitude, in any acqui
escence in the punishment of a limited class.
Hence, the people consider it their duty to
stand by the political lortuno of th"ir leaders,
and in no degree to be responsible for their future
exclusion from power. The idea of ratifying
the amendment is, therefore, peculiarly repug
nant, because implying their direct participa
tion in the infliction ol what to them nppeurs
harshness, it not injustice. Opposition ol this
i aiurc u not easily overcome by rhetoric, or
by appeals toscltish couMderaiious. It originates
in feeling; and where feeling sways the judg
ment, mere argument has but a soriy chance.
The attitude ot the class directly atlccte.l by
the provision has not, thus far, beersuch as to
warrant an expectation ol speedy cbanie in the
Sourberi. mind. So far as we have observed,
not a solitary man who bgured conspicuously
in the Rebellion has publicly advocated the
ratification of the amendment. We know that
in their ordinary interoutMj not a lew of them,
after studiing the manifestations of public
opinion at the North, admit that unless tbo
South concur in the amendment, restoration
will bo indefinitely postponed, and may, per
haps, be made coniiiieent upon more unpulutabte
conditions. But not one has declared his readi
ness to submit to disabilities tor the sake of
restoration not one has appealed to others
similarly situated to endure the punishment
that peace may be secured not one has endea
vored to mitigate the prejudice with which the
pro ision is regarded, or to urge the necessity
of averting great evils by patiently submitting
to lesser ones.
Even those from whose general course a
willingness to make sacrifices might have been
Inferied, are silent on the subject. Goneral
Forrest, who. since the termination of the war,
has striven to redeem himself Irom its iniquities
by counselling loyalty and moderation, and by
setting an example ot honest, earnest industry
even he is mute in rc'.erence to the amend
ment. The cx-Vice-Prcsident of the Contede
racy, wlruse habitual moderation and disinte
restedness have secured for him extended re
spect, bas sent forth no sound or sign Alt who
have taken the trouble to make themselves
heaid belong to the Wade and Hampton type
pioud, baugtity men, who seem to think that
the vanquished are privileged to dictate terms
to the victors, and thai the Rebel leaders should
be promoted rather than, punished because of
their rebellion.
Now, may not the leaders be fairly asked to
change their course, aud to exercise their influ
ence in behalf of the final sclllesicnt of
the vexd question ot restoration? To tho
Wade Hamptons any appeal of this kind would
be ot no avail. Their arrogance is not acces
sible to reason, and their theory of government
is predicated upon their own superiority as a
privileged class. The great body ot the promi
nent men in tho Southern States, we would
gladly believe, cherish a more correct appreci
ation ol their responsibility. To them may not
an appeal be addressed somewhat in this strain!
"You have enjoyed the confidence of the
Southern people, and have shared the honois
and rewards which we're at thir disposal. The
influence you possessed you used to promote the
Rebellion. Your motives may have been good
your sense of duty imperious your princi
ples simply erroneous; but at any rate
you brought upon tlio peoale the sufTor
mgs lhey have endured, and the embar
rassments which now surround them.
Grant, if you please, that, according to your
views, this corduct was not criminal; at least,
as results have proved, it was mistaken.
Whether your hearts erred or not, certainly
you led those who trusted you into disastrous
eiror, one of the penalties of which they suffer
In exclusion from the Union. By sacrificing
your own pride and ambition, you may extri
cate 1hem from their position, and contribute
to the return of harmony and prosperity. Is it
not jour duty, then, to submit to the sacrifice?
Does not the spirit of magnanimity dictate a
voluntary surrender on your part of all claim
to office, Federal or State, that the return of
national unity may bo thereby hastened? Are
ou not bound by an ordinary sense of geuo-
rosity to repay the confidence of your-friends
by an unselhch consideration of .their interests
in preference to the grauueation ot your own
pride?"
Such an appeal does not proceed on any
chivalrous hypothesis. It does not imply the
possession oi supei-uuiiiaii virtues by tne iteoei
leaders. It simply presupposes their possession
of common generosity, common justice, and.
we may add, common sense. For, while we
hold th,it, as a matter of dutv. the promoters of
and chief actors in the Rebellion owe to the
Southern people the sacrifice we have sugeested,
we believe thai, as a matter of prudence, they
would una it to tneir ad vantage. Nothing
would so quick! v or .so surelv mitigate tho feel
ing of the North towards them, and help to im
prove meir own position, as tnis aiBpiay ot dis
interestedness, coupler!, as u no doubt would
e, wun tne ratification ot the amendment bv

Good Tiding from Ohio. '
From the World. . t
: The returns of tlie lale election in Ohio have
Just come tolumd, and make a gratifying ex
, Mbit for the conservatives. The total vote
polled was 00,908, which is but 817 loss tliun
tl at cast at the Presidential election In 1SK4,
Including the 41,146 soldierV rotes given
for Lincoln; these 4fi!,90R votes weie divided
thus": f
Democratic. 213.000
Republican 2r.6,302
Republican majority .... 42,0i)0
In 1804, Lincoln's iniajorlly over McHellan
was 69.ftiis, winch, it will bo snen, the Demo
crats have just reduced by the har.dsome figure
ol sixteen thousand eight hundred" and ninety,
which is equivalent to 2RJ per cent. But this is
not tne whole story. Bv a comparison of the
vote ol ench parly this year with that of 1804, It
is found that tho Democrats have lust polled a
Iniger ote than they did two years ago, while
that of the Id publicans this year i. smaller than
tt was at the Presidential election. Look at the
figures:.
- Pern.

Democratic tain in 180G . . .
Republican loss in 180G .
Rep.
2f..'.,164
360.302
8,():i8
8,548
Still more important is the natAnt fa .thai.
nearly all of this Democratic gain must have
come from the Republican ranks, lor, by adding
the loss of the one to the gain of the other the
sum is found to be 16,680, which varies but very
little lroni tho diflerence between the Republi
can majorities of 18UG and 1804. Hence it is
plain tl at. while tho increase in the Democratic
vote may be, in some measure, due to the natu
ral growth of the population, the great bulk of
it was formed by converts irom the Republican
paity. We beg to commend these figures t the
obser?ation of our radical contemporaries not,
however, without adding that a proportionate
change in the vote of this SUte two weeks sinco
ns compared with that in 1804, will make John
T. Hoflman our next Governor. More than that,
such a change, only greater, is now working.
Mark the result.
