Jleconstruction and the Admission or
the Lnte Ilcbel States.
Mr. Colfax, in bis eloquent address before
the members of the Uuion League, in New
York, a few days since, took occasion to most
emphatically express the opinion that, if the
late Rebel States should go on and reorganize
in good faith under the requirements, and in
accordance with the provisions, of the Recon
struction act, they would be admitted to par
ticipate in the political power of the Union.
Senator Wiison has uniformly advanced this
opinion in the addresses he hasten making
during his Southern tour.
There is no doubt that these gentlemen cor
rectly represent the sentiments of the Repub
lican party, and foreshadow its action. There
Las never been any intention by that party to
delay the admission of the late Rebel States
for one hour beyond what was demanded by
the safety and welfare of the nation. Its
measures have been proposed in good faith.
Had the Rebel States accepted of the Constitu
tional amendment, they would have been
admitted; and if they shall now act in good
faith under the Reconstruction act', they will
be admitted. But their action must be honest,
and up to all the requirements of the law.
Their elections must be fairly held, without
violence or intimidation, and their Constitu
tions, when framed, must contain the amplest
and most irreversible guarantees for the rights
of all the people. All their laws which grew
out of slavery, and which still foster its spirit,
must be swept away. There must be no badge
of enforced inferiority left upon any of their
citizens. In other words, reconstruction must
be thorough and complete. The States must
come up free in the highest sense, aud with
. forms of government which shall be so truly
and evidently "republican" as to leave no
Toom for doubt or question. And if they do
so they will be admitted promptly, cheerfully.
What the Republican party has been after
in all this contest is the essential triumph of
tho principles of freedom and equality, which
were in truth the vitalizing principles, the in
spiring forces of the loyal side during the late
great war. That war was the physical side' of
the irrepressible conflict between freedom and
despotism. The South fought to overthrow
the Union, founded on the principles of repub
licanism, and to erect upon its ruins a rlave
empire, founded on the essential principles of
despotism. The North fought to preserve the
nation, and with it to preserve and perpetuate
the great principles of hu jian freedom upon
which it had been originally founded. The
South was beaten, and its great effort since has
been to save from the ruins of war as much as
possible of the fabric of despotism. It has
sought by political strategy and finesse to save
itself from the logical effects of the war, and to
defraud the nation of that complete triumph
of republican principles which its victories
upon the field of physical conflict justly en
titled it to.
Mr. Johnson's echeme of reconstruction was
Bimply a political movement to save for the
South as much as possible of aristocracy.
Under it the old and corrupt rule of classes,
instead of the people, was to bo perpetuated.
The political State was to be composed only o f
the ruling classes, and was essentially aristo
cratio in its form. In some instances the large
majority of the people were to be disfranchised
and proscribed, while a feeblo oligarchy was to
be intrusted with the whole power in the
State. Of course all this was veiled under an
' ostensible devotion to the Constitution, that most
convenient device of political villany in this
country; but its real aim and object, its only
political eignificancy, was to establish a
Southern aristocracy, whose power should
reside in and be wielded by the very Rebels
who had but just been compelled to lay down
their arms, as the defeated party in the great
war in which the nation had been engaged.
Mr. Johnson was, in this matter, as truly the
Southern leader in opposition to the ideas and
instincts of the nation, as ever Robert E. Lee
had been upon the field of battle.
We can now begin to realize the tremendous
danger we escaped by the splendid uprising of
the people in the elections of last fall. The
Rebel scheme of reconstruction was over
thrown. The full power of Congress over the
whole matter was definitely affirmed and Bet-
tied. The way was opened for a scheme of
reconstruction which shall give the nation the
fruit of its victories over slavery and rebellion,
and which shall give us homogeneous laws
and institutions, founded upon the great prin
ciplea of human freedom and equality. The
beneficial eflects of this measure, even in its
incipient stages, are bo apparent as to extort
confession, if not admiration, from its enemies
If it 6hall be carried out in good faith, and the
late ttebel btates present themselves with Con
ptitutisns and State Governments conforming
to the requirements of the Reconstruction act,
ineywui ue received and welcomed to the
powers and privileges of States in the Union.

The Humanity of Cobble-stones.
August Bkmiont, Henry Grinnell, and W. C.
H. Waddell, a Special Committee of the New
York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, have published a report which puts
the disadvantage of the present system of
pavement in an entirely new light. The Com
mittee declare in favor of the Nioholson pave
ment, because the cobble stones inflict a cause
less, wanton pain upon the horses. After
treating of the merits of the case, they say:
"The oval stones of the street, ana the dden
depression formed between them, m ike 11 1m
poxNlble lor the horse to find a flat resting
place for his foot, or any two like places or
tinllorm surfaces upon which to tread with
BSNumnce and conllilence. Thus his feot are
being continually wrenoued from side to side
while th upward oval projections of the stones
are continually pressinx against and bruising
the irog of the foot, on which no pressure
should be allowed; which is not only luhumau
to the horse, but destructive to his usefulness
to man. The free and easy stepping of the horse
depends much upon theassuritnceatiorded him
by a level and uniform roadway. Ho soon ao
qulres the muscular habit, or habit of motion
ndiiptfd to the thorough fare on which he travels
but where there is no uniformity of surface he
acquires no feeling of confidence or habit of an
easy mechanical movement. The free and
natural Rait of a horse does not depend wholly
upon a Hat surface and foothold, but upon his
assurance of finding his foothold Just on the
spot where the foot may fall. A horse submit
ted to uncertain foothold and indefinite sliding,
soon acquires a mixed and hobbling Rait, and
consequently suffers while undergoing suoti
abuses; and the Huss aud Belgian pavements
do not obviate this evil; and although not pre
cisely germane to these remarks, this pave
ment would cause an absence of noise and a
consequent prolonging of human life."
We commend this idea to the gentlemen
who met on Monday in the.iBoard of Trade
Rooms. This is a new reason for having the
improved kind of pavement recommended, aud
the idea of each member of the new Society
subscribing a trifle of $1000 per capita for the
purpose of relieving the dumb brutes, would
be a good one. Should any cause, however,
delay the immediate carrying out of the idea,
we would suggest that a petition be presented
to the Commissioner of Highways, requesting
him to keep the cobble-stone3 in their places,
and not have a small mountain or a series of
pitfalls, like those just now at Third and
Chesnut streets. If the legs of the noble ani
mal, the horse, or the nobler animal, man,
are not broken by the miniature fort and
abattis erected near us, it is because other gods
as well as Bacchus watch over the destinies of
man and beast.

Money continues abundant and easy of access
at 6J to 6 per cent, "on cull," ana 7 to 10 per
cent, tor acceptable psper. In mercantile circles,
on tbe whole, we notice -a slight Increase ot
business, though there is no gfcucral activity,
the necessity lor stern economy in all depart
ments of business being very generally recog
nized and practiced. As to prices ot the eeneral
run of merchandise, there i9 little change, and
the complaint of small margins and no margins
is quite universal. Breadstuff, and some other
necessaries of life, continue to realize ex
travagant prices, aud as long as the cost of
living keeps up to the present scale, the con
sumption aud production or' the country musi
continue to be retrrded

Norton, Esq., wh9 elected President, to supply
a vacancy caused by the resignation of Robert
Moiris, Esq., who has presided over its manage
ment since its organization in 1857. Mr.
Norton is a self-made man active and
energetic and his lufluencc will tend to
largely advance its interests as well as those ot
the mercantile community. He is its largest
stockholder, and there is a manifest propriety
in his accepting the position. The bank has

THE OPINIONS OF SAMUEL C. PERKINS AND
O. W. RIDDLE. KSQS.
To thefiettysburg Asylum for Invalid Soldiers:
There have been submitted to us, by members of the
corporation, a letter dated lhe4th Instant, addressed to
Jtrlgailier tieneral H. O. Slckel, Treasurer, by Hou,
Deiijunnn Harris Brewster, the Attoruey.Ueneral, to
gether with the act of incorporation, passed by the
Legislature and approved by the Governor March iu,
Ihi.7: also, the minutes of the meeting for the organi
zation of the corporation, and the by-laws adopted for
lis government.
1 Here Is a perfectly plain legal method of testing
nny of the fitifatlons Involved In the letter of the law
olllcer of the Commonwealth, or which he may desire
to raise under ibis act of Arsembly.or the organiza
tion of ihe Company under H: and we cannot but ex
press our surprise that the public press should have
been made the vehicle or altucks upon the corpora
tion and Individuals connected Willi It, instead of
resort being had to the courts of justice. We are fur
ther of opinion that the character or some ot the
articles which have appeared 10 print is esseutlally
libellous.
Our advice Is that the corporation and Its officers go
on under tbe act, and ubb all such legal remedies for
the maintenance, delense, aud protection of their
rights as may from lliue to time seem expedient.
Very reapecilullv,
