The recoustruoiion problem, nnder the policy, of CoDgress, ia workiu Itself out in a manner which -freotually demolishes all preconceived Republican theories upon the subject. The Tadical rnissionarie.-', who were to go down South and denionntrate to the world that the rule of ignorant ami uncivilized negroes ia far superior to an enlightened "white man's gov ernment," have confessedly made a miserable failure. The "orgauizera of Southern society" have already turned their bioks upon their own pet organization. It is true, they have allowed the negroes to vote them (their new masters) into the Legislatures, and other fat and comfortable places under the new State governments. But when they have come to the point of actual political equality, the right Of the colored man to share these ollioes, as contemplated by Congress, the latter suddenly finds himself snubbed by his patrons and left out in the cold. Who would have thought that these South ern patriots, ar excellence, these yauuted champions of negro equality, would have been the first to repudiate "an American citizen of African descent" as "a man and brother?" Who could have supposed that, after smelling at the ebony nosegay so enthusiastically, they would so soon have cast it aside as a rank weed ? And that altar mounting on the brawny shoulders of the freedman to the coveted positions of State Governors and of members of CoDgress, they would immedi ately turn round and kick over the ladder? If any Northern man, or newspaper, was wicked enough to suppose that the great object of these social levellers was merely to use the negro for their owu political preferment, and that the interest professed in his elevation to all the rights of citizenship, was a mere subter fuge and sham, does not the sequel prove that he or it was justly denounced as a cop perhead? The State of Georgia was to be the mcdern Utopia, where the beauties of a fraternity and equality of race3 would be first illustrated. Lut, alas 1 for the plani of the Radical Republican leaders, the fraternal spirit has been invoked in vain, and the bubble of reconstruction, on the Congressional basis, has exploded all too soon for their suc cess in the coming Presidential election. . But having thus prematurely shown their true colors, and thrown the negro overboard, with the millstone of political disability tied to Lis neck as the Democrats were accused of intending to do, in case they came into poirer again the organs of the radical party are at their wits' ends to avert the dauger to their cause which this Georgia legislative imbroglio Is likely to inlliut upon it here at the North. Their carpet-bag allies in that State, jealous of negro competition for office, and suspicious of negro fidelity to their party, have done the deed which stamps ihetn both a3 hypocrites and ingrates. And now, in the face of this damaging exposure, they meanly seek to evade the responsibility of their acts, and to throw it upon the Democratic minority of the Georgia Legislature. But this dodge will not answer to cover up the radical tracks in this little alfair of discord in "the happy family." The pretence is too bare-faced and too much at variance with well known facts to deceive the publio. The Demo crats were in a minority in both branches of the Georgia Legislature none of them were elected to it by negro votes; they had made no political promises to the freedmen, and were under no obligation to them. If some of them voted with the Republican majority to unseat the colored members of the House, it was be cause the exclusively radical Convention, which framed the new Constitution of Georgia, made its provisions so ambiguous as to render it doubtful whether the colored citizen was constitutionally eligible to office. The radicals in the House had the numerical power to con strue the law in his favor, without the aid of the Democrats, had they chosen to do so. Bat this did not tally with their objects. They had purposely framed a Constitution of doubtful import, and which their leaders in the Con vention secretly declared might be used to exclude the negro from cilice, though they openly assured him to the ooutrary when his vote was wanted. But the next time the colored voter in Georgia ha3 an opportunity to exorcise the right of suffrage he will be likely to think twice before giving his vote to the political "scalawags" who have been so profuse in their promises of patronage, and who have so de liberately broken them, lie has been deceived and betrayed by his own chosen friends, who have used him as a hobby to ride into power, while he had no favors to expect or reciprocate from the Democracy, who, in the long run, will prove his best friends. But the radical majority were proof against all appeals, not only to their gratitude as partisans, but to their devotion to the "higher law" which, on most occasions, is their favorite refuge. They not only voted to expel their colored frieuds, but added insult to injury. One of the latter (Turner) in speaking in his defense, told them that the whole isue hiugt d upon the question whether he was a man or not, and they must decide his rights as a member upon that groutd. This appeal to their humane prin ciples, however, was of no avail. Mr. Turner had to "wnlk the plank" with the rest of his proscribed brethren, and is now probably rumiuating in retirement over the decision of Lis late radical associates, that he is not a mm. General Grant and the French Military Critics. From the N. Y. Evening tout. The World follows up its personal abuse of the greatest soldier of the republio by print ing a lojter dated Paris, "from our owu cor respondent," which begins thus: 'fubilooi.inloB ihrouKliout Europe Is elated With lhehopot sent uk the Kepu oilcan anar chy at en end In the UuiieuStates. Tbe utmost contempt 1 Jell In Kurope for General (irant, U he ronch ollirers are unanimous la tleuying him military talents; and an they become mora familiar with I ho history of the war their esll inate of him sinks." As France is the most military nation in Europe, and the criticisms of her Bstentillo officers ara deservedly esteemed as final, when made with care and candor, any General to whom they are "unanimous in denying mili tary talent," must be admitted to ba of smal' note. It is with curiosity, therefore, that one turns, after reading the World, to such a book as Major-General Regis de Trobriaud'a "Qaatre Ans de Campagnes a L'Armee du Potomac;" which, though issued in Paris but a few months ago, is already the acreptet expression of trench military and publio opinion on the conduot of the late war for the Union. The terms in which General de Trobriand expreBseB his "utmost contempt for Geunral Grant," and "denies" to him any "military Ulents," are so striking that it is worth while to give a literal translation of them: ' It was necessary Blve all," in Jsfil. to call lo the supreme command or all tno land forces f mau wIiokb Biilliouty woulu Oh eufroHd by tlie grandeur (,f llH Mrvlcs arid tt.e brJlUiicy of Ins mciemt-H, t,,i ,, cai,;iilo f .Itrnci Inu roinprehtnsiveneis which had been lacking till then. "Only one man united thean condition Cenersl U. 8 Grant, Kor two years bis natna Imd sif adily giown In splendor, by the fame of the snccPFKPB of onr armies in Hie West, lint tie s, under bis com in and, were character 1 .:d by pecullnr viRor and lerjRCli.y; victories galne l by hltn had always been tortile In greit results, lie had conceived estr-torjlnary enterprise, aiid executed mprveliios lmvirs. In tnls pMut of view, iho hlHtory of Uranl'H camoalnos on the Mississippi must remain tbe most stntftilur lliiiMiatloii ol the American character and genius applied to tbe art ( war." And, after sketching the means used and the results obtained, General de TrobrUud adds: "This series of operations, conducted with as much perseverance as energy: these ohsUolcs met on all sides; these enterprises followed up by every aaeucy ; these batt'es succeeding battles and victories linked with victories; and this peislHtmcy of effort, never satisfied while anvtrilug lemained todo there you haveUene ral Grant." There is reason, it would seem, to suspeat that the HWW's correspondent in Paris, par haps by not understanding the peculiar dialed there spoken, has confounded two very differ ent men. There are two candidates for the next Presidency, and there is one of them, not General Grant, for whom it may be said, without serious violence to truth, that "the utmost contempt is felt in Europe." The fact is that publio opinion there does not respect highly any man of any nation whose sympa thies are with the enemies of his country; whose victories are the defeats of his fellow citizens. But our business now is merely with French military critio'sm; and Hi highest authority, General de Trobriand, has a word to say ou the attitude of the Governor of New York in the dark days of the Union, the sum mer of 1SU3: "The Governor, Horatio Seymour, whose atti tude and conduct towards the national G overn ment had been of a character to encourage rather than to prevent the riots, had no taonm except, in concert with his party, to make capital of them In order to hinder the enrol ment. Under the pretense of ascertaining whether some error had not stolen Into the reck oning of the Slate's contingent, aud of waiting until the querdlon of tbe constitutionality of the law could be submitted tojudlolal tribunals, he demanded of the President the lndellilte postponement of the draft.. Tne oojootof this attempt Is plain. It was to dry up the source of the reinforcements necessary to tho army, in order to lesseu, if not destroy, the results of the victories at Gettynburg auu Viciisbur.it; aud While the Confederate Government should rei.ew Its forces by a universal conscription, to reduce our forces by stopping the drift and dis couraging volunteering. These were the meaus by which the Peace Democrats nf the North attempted to obtalu either the final reooaol tlou of a fe'outhern Confederacy, or the establish men tot a new Union, founded on the subordi nation of the free aiates to the supremacy of the sluve States." Does not the World admire the frank, direot way those Frenh military critics have of speaking their minds ? What everybody here . i . 1 x I 1 .."a .1; Knows 10 he true, oat noooay is qun uisro epectful enough to say, they put in the plain est language, without circumlocution. Te this critic, Mr. Seymour's attitude is simply one circumstance in the conduct of the war; Gene ral Grant's character is simply another circum stance; aud without a vestige of personal or partisan feeling, the cool, straightforward man of military business tells what they were, as he would mention the width of a river to be bridged, or the strength of a battery to be silenced. "Utmost contempt" is scarcely the phrase to express the French officer's ap preciation of these things; "an exact appre hension of facts a3 they are" conveys the idea better. The National Debt. From the lf. Y. Tribune. The debt of the United States on the 1st inst., is officially reported by Secretary MoCul loch, as follows: Total debt bearing interest 2,182.2!2.1C0 l)o. ou which interest has stoppeJ... IS.tfti 3,214 Uo. never yet heailng Interest 412,981,011 Add bonds Itst-ut d to I'acillo lUil road Companies 33,311,000 Grand Total S2,(il8,i3(J1285 From which deduct cash in the Tieabury 107,611,971 Leaves our nclual debt $2,535,014,313 Deduct tbe bonds issued to 1UU rouds and payable, principal aud interest, by them 35,311,000 Leaves the debt of the nation S2.500 .300,313 The National debt is therefore two aud a half billions of dollars, though a oonsideraole portion consists cf green backs, postal cur rency, treasury notes, etc. etc, long since burnt, lost at sea, or otherwise destroyed, so that payment thereof can never be required nor made. The fact that over twelve millions of interest bearing bonds on which interest has been stopped (the bonds having matured, and the Treasury standing ready to redeem them) are not presented for payment, arguei that many of these have been lost also. But we offset the lost greenbacks, etc, against the contingent liability to pay the $35,314,000 of bonds issued to Pajifio Railroad Companies, to secure which the Government has a second mortgage on their roads respectively, and consider the debt just about $2,500,000,000. This is an increase of $12,079,632 during the last month, caused as follows: By paying Russia In gold for Alaska and tbe icebergs 87,200,030 Cy lf-suing bonds to the I'acltto Hiill roud Companies 3.101,030 Together SK),3U0:h Real Increase of debt. 1.775. Mil The California aud the Omaha Pacific Rail road Companies aie each working with all its might to puth its roa l as fast and as far as possible before it shall be met by the other their contract with tbe Government proving so profitable that each wishes to make the moit of it. They will doubtless have met within the year ensuing; but meantime they will have required and received from the Treasury some JO,lUU,UUO to $4U,UUU,UUU more ot these bonds, which the Government must pay if the Companies should ever default as they surely need not, and we trust will not. The Russian bear has drawn blood this month $7,200,000 in gold that we grudge him, and do not think his icebergs fairly worth. However, that is done and cau't be undone. He mustn't do it again, aud is not likely to try. To be sure, there are St. Thomas, and Sa maria, and that unknown isle in the Indian ocean, yet behind; but the Senate Las ratified none of these jobsand Governor Seward can't be Secretary of State forever. So we will hope and trust that our real estate operations are about over. (O I General Rosecraus 1 please don't buy any more of Mexloo to run your railroad over. Leave ua our money wherewith to pay our just and heavy debts.) The national debt was $2,757,000,000 over and above all money in the Treasury ou the 1st of August, 18U5. Since that time, we have paid oil and muBtered out large bodies of our volunteers for the war; we have paid muster ing out bounties to a majority of them; we have paid many more millions to States for arming and equipping their men during tbe war; and we have reduced our internal taxes by more than one-half. We wish that reduc tion had been less rapid and less sweeping; yet the present taxes will suffice if they can be honestly, faithfully collected. This, after General Grant's inauguration, they will surely he. Hitherto we have been paying extra interest. Mr. Buchanan's administration borrowed at tY.lY'. ; ,r vtut, to v-lie oat it luiser.tU. exist ence; and Mr. Lincoln's had to bear up against the damage thus wrought to our national credit, as well as to pay the debt, principal Aid interest, thus oontractel. Mr. Fesseudeu w iB constrained to borrow a very large amount at 7 3-10 interest; all whioh hs now been funded at six per cent, (fire-twenties) save a fraction on which interest has stoppsd altoge ther. So of our compound interest note, except $10,595,410, whioh will soon be wiped out. We have now $85,800,410 drawing bat three per cent., $221 5H8,4l0 drawing live per tent., and $1,784, J03,330 drawing six percent., much of it already -liable to redemption, and which we ought to be able to fund in an un usable bond certainly at five, and probably at f ur and a half, if not at four per cent. The British Government pays less than four pr cent.; the French about four and a half. We cbould be able to fund at least at the Frenoh rate but for the fear of repudiation. And, if our debt were funded at four aud a half per cent., the saving in interest from the rates we now pay would of itself cancel the entire prin cipal of the debt within half a century. Mr. McCulloch still persists in keeping on hand $92,570,901 in speoie; from whioh de duct the amount of his Certificates of Depo sit ($25,101,020), and his net coin surpluj is $07,408,281. In our judgment here are at least $50,000,000 of coin hoarded which might far better have long since been ex pended in buying up matured debt. Had this $50,000,000 been so applied two years ago, it would have extinguished more than $00,000,000 of debt, and saved over $7,000 of interest. The coin, liberated from its pri son, would have done vast good; the extinc tion of so much debt would have increased the market value ot all our publio secu rities. It would, moreover, have di. minished the temptation of em ployes to peoulate aud of burglars to rob. These convictions we have repeatedly expressed; but Mr. McCulloch has a way of his own. Now that he is out for Seymour aud Blair, while admitting that their finanoial plat form, if carried into execution, would prove as ruinous as it is rascally, we do not expect auy good from him. He will doubtless do his best to help his ticket; and raising the credit of the Government and the market value of its bonds will not help to elect Horatio Seymour to the Presidency. We are, therefore, prepared to see the worst possible face put upon our finan cial condition hence till after election. But the people oan and will pay their debt. This is not nearly so diilioalt an undertaking as was the overthrow of the rebellion. Let us survey the past aud take courage: Fund.d Debt of the United States, less cash in the Treasury: March 4 '01.. ttiO.180 8.55 Ju-e 1, 1S07.S2.513.615 P"7 Jutv 1. 1P6I ...

There must still, we suppose, ba some honest people left who really believe that blacK is black ani.white white. If any such do exist, and if it ever ouours. to any of them through accident or design to pick up a cur rent number of the New York Tribune, its articles on the Southern aspect of the passing politioal crisis, must affect them very much as De Morgan would be aileoted by a series of papers written to prove that two and two in exceptional cases make five, or Darwin, by an attempt to demonstrate the direot descent of the Massachusetts sea-serpent from the union of a Spanish Jack with a Florida alligator. General Fori est, in a long and frank con versation with a Northern correspondent, de olares his belief that nothing could possibly make the Southern white people punish the negroes for that tyranny over their late mas ters of which Brownlow and his cut-throats have made them the tools. The Tribune forthwith represents General Forrest (not, of course, on the same day on which it published the report of his conversation aforesaid) as having declared that the Southern whites were arming to repeat on a great scale the abominable massacre of "Fort Pillow," and as bent on exterminating the Southern blacks. General Lee declares that the opposition of the Southern whites to seeing the "political power of the country in the bauds of the negro race proceeds from no feeling of enmity, but from a deep-seated conviction that at present the negroes have neither the intelligence nor other qualifications which are necessary to make them safe depositories of political power." Upon this the Tribune, whioh knows that this feeling is shared by the people and em bodied in the Constitutions of New York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, California, in short of every Northern and Western State in which the negroes are found in numbers sufficient to make it at all worth while to consider thein as a political element, deliberately accuses Gene ral Lee, and through him the Southern people, of being hostile "to regarding and treating the negroes as human beings, with the rights per taining to humanity." l'oes the 'J ribune suppose that the use of a capital letter II in spelling "humanity" invests such wretched cant as this with an air of phi lorophical candor ? The Declaration of Inde pendence was put forth to the world by the lepresentatlves of thirteen American Common wealths, in whioh "political power" was with held, not only from negroes in and out of . slavery, but from thousands of white laboring men, from white women, from white children. Were the American electors of 1770 hostile to "regarding and treating" all the non-voting population of this country "as human beings with rights pertaining to humanity 1" Mississippi, North Carolina, and other South ern States, passed in 1805-0, the Tribune solemnly informs mankind, a series of aots making provision for the suppression and pun ishment of vagrancy among the vast horde of negroes set free by an aot of sudden and forci ble emancipation. Upon this the Tribune declares that "ao quiepcenoe in such criminal legislation by the Northern people whom thoBe blacks had so greatly aided to put down the Southern Re bellion would be criminal perfidy." Is this sort of BtulT written to be read by men or by moon-calves ? Not to speak of the monstrous perversion of historical truth involved in the assertion that the "Northern people were aided to put down the Southern Rebellion" by the millions of blacks who remained quietly at their homes, working for their owners and feeding the South while the war was waging, how atrooious is the absurdity of branding as "criminal" legislation intended to arrest one of the greatest evils against which society has had in every country of the world to struggle, from the downfall of feudalism to the present hour I Were the vagrant laws of Queen Elizabeth orimiualf Are the vagraut laws of Fngland and the Northern States at this day criminal? Or are we to understand that the thing which in the white man is a social scandal and wrong, inviting stern justice and au auiiteiB Land of control, becomes in the Ufk man a laige ad O'.-b' eoj'.uI fact, dv- BervlDg encouragement and protection? Of oource, some vagrant laws are bolter thau other vagrant laws, but to denounce the making ef vagrant laws as a crime, because from the necessities of the case, those laws are likely to affect a race which happwus 1 1 enj y the privilege of being blaott, is such a piece of folly as shocks one, evn in the Tribune. It is hardly three days ago that the TV bane held up to execration tbe practice of selling wuue Tagranis ana paupers by auction which prevails in Conneotiottt, to a certain extent, and in Massachusetts quite generally. Cer tainly there is no provision in any vagrant law in all the "criminal legislation" of Him Southern States so mean aud bo degrading to human nature as this. Does the Tribune, therefore, propose that the power of regulating their owu dotnaatlij affairs and of determining who shall exercise the control of politioal power among th-m shall be taken away by General Grant's bayo nets from the people of Massachusetts and Connecticut 1 Democratic Conservatism and Republican Kadicalism. From the Charleston U. O ) Courier. "Democratic conservatism is ruin, bnt Tie. publican radicalism Is peace, order, aud pros perity." This extract from the editorial oolumn of one of the Northern journals, conveys, iu a single sentence, the efforts in the interests of the Republican party to pervert the truth aud maintain a rule of wrong and injustice. The large majority of the Northern people are, beyond doubt, opposed to the Reconstruc tion acts. They would have preferred a restora tion effeeted upon the simple and safe basis of tbe Constitution. They are aware that the Republican party have been in the absolute control of the Government ever since the ces sation of hostilities, and could have had a per manent and fraternal peace at any moment. This awaited their bidding. They had the power in their hands. They had but to exert it on behalf of tranquillity, and right, and peace, with its unity aud blessings, would at once have been attained. They, however, preferred the lust of dominion to the welfare of the land. They set up the reign of their faction, in the place of the free soopa and safe security of the Constitution. And, in so doing, they betrayed their high trust and im periled tbe dearest hopes and most precious liberties of the nation. And for this aud the unconstitutional and irresponsible Governments erected without right at the South they have. ben justly arraigned at the bar of publio opinion. Tbat cpiuion has already had voice at the ballot-box. It has had expression on the At lantic as well as the Paciflo slope; and that ex preseion foreshadows a verdict of condemna tion at the hands of the American people in November next. Perceiving the approach of their doom, they are seeking to avert it, by distracing. the at tention of the people from the real issue in volved in the contest. They say that Demo cratic conservatism is ruin, because its success is what they term the success of the Rebellion. Never was greater nonsense uttered, or a more flimsy attempt made to deceive the Northern mind. The question during the late war was whether the South should have a eeparale nationality. The question now at issue, is whether she shall be recognized as a part of the Union, whether tbe Commonwealths are States of, and her people citizens of, the United States. A Democratic triumph, it is transparent, can have no effect upon the issues involved in the late Btruggle. It can in no way establish the independence of the late Confederate States. The issues of the war are deoided and decided forever. It is true the arbiter was the sword. But this renders the3e the more settled. All who . were in the war have accepted the de cision thus rendered. In faot, all parties, and all men at the South, as at the North, have, in good faith, accepted this arbitrament as conclusive and final. There is simply, there to e, an end of it. The controversy is not as to the past. It is as to the present. The South have acoepted the Government of these United States as their Government, its flag as their flag, and its Con stitution as their Constitution. It is, there fore, as a part of the common country that they ask to be recognized, and for an equal f bare in its laws and its rights. Upon this plutform tbe Democratio party stands. There fore it is supported by the people of the South. Had the Republican party announced these views at the close of the war, it would doubt less have likewise reoeived the same support. We deal not with the dead past, but with the living present. How can Republican radioal-ir-m claim to be "peace, order, and prosperity" when, although in supreme power for years, it has yet neither accomplished "peace, order, or prosperity." In fact, can a single measure inaugurated by it be pointed out which has not produced, as its inherent and necessary result, the revival of sectional prejudice, the creation of disorder and financial embarrass ment to the South as to the North. Is it peace to have overthrown the govern ments of the South, and to have erected in their place those born of the bayonet, and in no way representing the interest or voice of the accustomed voters? Is it order to have made the white race aliens and strangers upon their own soil, and to have placed them in subjection to another and inferior race just emerged from a condition of slavery? Is it prosperity to have kept the Union dissevered practically for over four years, and prevented that restoration under the Constitution by which unity, peace aud prosperity might long since have been happily accomplished? If so, then it stands upon the same platform occupied by Mr. Lincoln himself, a Republi can President. We allude to Lis memorable letter , written on tbe 21st November, 1803, when the power of his administration was invoked, to place the portion of Louisiana, then in the posses sion of Federal arms, under "carpet bag" government. This he refused to do in the fol lowing words: Dear Sir: Dr. Kennedy, bearer of this, has some apprehensions that the Federal officers, not citizens of Louisiana, may be set up as candidates for Congress in that State. In my view there could lie no possible objeot in such an election. We do not particularly need members of Congress to enable us to get along with legislation here. What we do want is conclusive evidence that respectable citizens of Louisiana are willing to be members of Con gress, and swear to aupport the Constitution; and that other respectable citizens there are willing to vote for them. To send a parcel of Northern men here as representatives, elected, as they would be understood (and psrhaps really so) at the point of the bayonet, would be disgraceful and outrageous; and were I a member of Congress then, I would vote against admitting any suoh men to a seat. And yet is not what Mr. Lincoln refused to do precisely what the Republican party, since his death, has done in every Southern State ? Are not their representatives in Congress and at home, for the most part, Northern wander ers and negroes elected at the point of the bayonet ? The Southern white race but echo his woids when they declare this to be "dis graceful and outrageous." The fact is D.mo oratfa tohscrvatibm melius peace.
