In the controversy going on about the re admission of the seceded Stab s, their polit ical relations alone seem to be considered, and this does not cover more than half the ground. To be sure, the act of bringing these States back, is purely a political one, but should we not know what manner of person it is that we incorporate into this body politic ? When individuals offer them selves as members of a community, certain restrictions are laid upon them, before they can participate in the franchises munities pertaining to citizenship ; and if these are not complied with citizenship is denied. This holds good of all persons who have committed no crimes against the laws of society. Persons however, charged with crimes are by law forbidden citizenship, and this because the safety of society requires it. Here the social condition of the parties offering themselves as members of a com munity, is taken cognizance of, from the very necessity of the case ; and, if this so cial element of the character, is so impor tant in individual cases, why should it be overlooked in the admission of whole com- i munities ? Individuals, in themselves, are, ' comparatively speaking, harmless for evil in a community, yet what special pains are taken to guard it from injury in this quar-, ter. No good citizens has ever complained j of these restrictions, and no community has ' offered to remove them,so that the presump tions are strong that all acquiesce in them. And why should not the same principle , prevail in re-admitting the rebel States into the Fnion? Here are whole communities j charged with having committed the gravest j crimes against society, and the government, j and who are still able to inflict the severest injnry (and show a disposition too, to do it) | asking to be incorporated into the body ! politic, without any amendments for the j past, or security for the future. In the ' light we have presented this matter, does it not seem strange that any body should think of granting this favor ? It is not denied that many of the rebels | still abuse the whole North without meas- 1 ure. Editors, preachers aud worner. lead off in the tirade. If any one doubts it, let him read Southern newspapers. He will there find enough malicious hate, and low vitu-1 peration of the North, to satisfy him. For I we think wc were never more soundly bera ted,and vilified,than we now are by the rebel press. Of course, this does not constitute j the whole Southern population, but it does j represent the sentiments of the large ma-1 jority. And if these people ure restored to , all their former rights while they are thus ; abusing us, what will they not do after- j wards ? The presumption is, that as they desire restoration, they are now under some restraint ; and how long will peace last af ter such a restoration ? We must not for get that it was this gross misrepresentation and abuse of the North that prepared the Southern people for the desperate fight we have just ended ; and ean anyone doubt Vint that those who are now using this woa pon against us, purpose mischief? The means are the same, and the end sought af ter is the same. Is it wise to expose our i selves to this danger ? It looks to us like the height of folly. Besides, what is the need of haste in this restoration ? No harm can come of delay. The rebels went out of their own accord, and they made calculations to stay out, so they must be best fitted for this. If they are left out in the cold until their temper is cooled, reason may resume its sway, and the profits of peace, amity and homogenous rtess may become visible to their mental visions : and then they will become a bet ter people, and the possibility of another civil war between the North and South will be forever removed. it tin* social element of the seceded States is not radically changed, no matter what the political arrangements are, there can be no permanent peace between the North and the South. This must be palpable to every reflecting mind ; and if we cannot be at peace when together, we had better remain apart until in a condition b> insure lasting tranquility. Il leading rebels were punished for their crimes,so that odium and punishment would attach to traitors, as a matter of certainty, and all political rights withheld from those of the rank and file, who voluntarily took up arms against the government, there would soon be a change in the tone of Sou thern arrogance, and spite, and sure indica tions of lasting peace would come up.— Very often men must be punished before they will learn that crime cannot be tolera ted! There is no graver error than to suppose that mild treatment will tame the turbulent, and cure the quarrelsome character. The man who asserts this, has yet to learn the first lesson in the controlinent of crime. If it be so, that forgiveness, and an entire overlooking of wrongdoing, and offences, has tendency to cure those evils, why have we courts of law to punish the thief, the house-burner, the robber, and murderer? Is it not for the purpose of arresting crime that we punish for its commission ? And is this principle of criminal jurisprudence all wrong ? Are the moral ethics which govern the civilized world on the questions of crime against society, all wrong? Who believes it ? Then, if we restore to the rebels, with out any punnishment, their former civil rights, they will come back, believing that theij did no wrong in rebelling: and they will come back too, with all their hatred, and their willingness to tight us, or injure us in any possible way. Is this right, or is it safe ? With their sentiments unchanged, and their feelings only aggravated by de feat, the rebels will join our enemies any where, and at any lime, in order to do us harm, or break up the Government. If this can not be done by an alliance with the copperheads, of the North, an alliance will be sought with England, or France, or both, to accomplish our ruin. Is this doubted ? Did they not try this over and over again during the continuance of the war ? And are they not showing us, in every possible way, that their temper, and sentiments are not changed ? Nay more, that they are in tensified. Oh, shall we commit such a fol ly as to throw the government into their hands again, that the precious blood and treasure which have been so lavishly ex pended in its defense, shall all be for naught. Star A severe accident occurred on the Flemington Railroad, New-Jersey on Wed nesday evening. The accommodation line which leaves Trenton for Lambertville and Flemington at 7 o'clock ran oil' the track, owing to the breaking of a rail between Copper Hill and Flemington. The locomo tive was crossing a bridge at the time, and was precipitated over the side and demol ished, an explosion of the boiler taking place. The engineer was killed and the fireman was very severely scalded. For tunately the coupling between the locomo tive and the forward car broke,which saved the train from being thrown over the em bankment. The House of the Maryland Legisla ture has passed the bill to authorize colored witnesses to testify in the several Courts of the State. The resolutions offered some time since by Mr. Speaker FRAZIER indors ii g the reconstruction policy of President JOHNSON, condemning colored suffrage, com plimenting the foreign policy of Secretary SEWARD, aud approving of the Monroe Doc trine, led to an exciting debate. The reso lution complimentary to Secretary SEWARD was stricken out by a vote of 37 to 35, and then, as amended, adopted—year 47, nays 24. The late murder of Mr. JOHN CAMP BELL, in Herkimer County,uear Utica,proves to have been committed by four or five drunken rowdies, who were annoyed be cause he declined to give thetn liquor. Mr. CAMPBELL was the proprietor f the Willson tavern, aud was just starting with his wife in a sleigh to attend a donation party, when the desperadoes arrived and demanded a drink. Five of the party are in jail. i>s£f A gentleman who has just returned to Mobile from a trip among the planters in j in the river counties in Central Alabama, ! reports that since the Ist of January ne groes have been anxious to contract, and have been taken by planters at fair prices, and that the demand for labor is so great through that section that he did not see or I hear of a single unemployed freedman dur ing his trip. Numbers of negroes have voluntarily left Mobile for the purpose of going to work upon plantations in the cot ton-raising districts of the State. The C liicago Republican says that j Miss ELLEN O'MAHOXEY, Head Centress of the Fenian Sisterhood, is not, as is general ly supposed, the wife, daughter, or sister of the Irish Chief, JOHN O'MAHONEY. For many years she was the Principal of the High School at Quiney, and added to her reputation as a teacher by her essays and other productions presented to the Teach ers' State Conventions In 1863 she went to Chicago, and was made an assistant of the Kinzie School. Oaf A disturbance recently occurred at Pontotoc, Miss., resulting in the death of an officer in charge of the Freedmcu's Bu reau in that place. From reports it appears that a large party in Pontotoc became in censed against the bureau and engaged in riotous proceedings. It is said the agent of the bureau was murdered in his bed and i that his assaillants declared their animosity i against the United States, saying they had ! not had war enough and still wanted to fight | the Government. The National Wool Grower's Associ j ation assembled in Pittsburgh on the 18th l inst., and a permanent organization was ef fected. About two hundred delegates were present, representing a capital of at least $1,000,000. Dr. Jrurs F. LEMOYNE, of Washington County, was chosen President. The object of the Association is to advance the wool-growing interests ot the United ' States, to harmonize the interests of the producing and manufacturing interests of j the United States, so as to advance the | prosperity of our common country. B*®"- A party just arrived at St. Louis from tin- plains report tliat, on the2tith ult., a small party of troops wore attacked by about one hundred Indians, near Fort Fletcher, on the Platte. Two of them were killed and four wounded. Only one of them escaped uninjured. The Atchison trre. I've** says the men were walking thought lessly, with their guns in the wagon and their catridges in their sacks. Had it not been for a boy, who discovered the Indians and gave the alarm, all would probably have been killed. SOUTHERN PEOPLE. -There is no better ev idence of Ihe disposition of the great mas ses of the Southern people to disobey the laws oi the nation than the exhibition of their utter contempt for the loyalists of that section, and their general treatment of the freed race. The history of the slave population has not been forgotten. The riches accumulated by slave labor have been sacrificed by mad ambition, in the at tempt to prove our republican form of gov ernment a failure, and for the purpose of establising a confederacy having in its con stitution the reproachable word "slave." Baffled and defeated in their unholy schemes with the wrecks of fortunes alone remain ing, it is natural, after having been van quished by foemen who knew no defeat, that they should revenge themselves upon the freedmen, and inflict untold cruelties, unparalelcd even by the recollections of the palmiest days of slavery Reports received at the freedmen's bureau unite in the state ment that the freedmen conduct themselves with propriety and toil incessantly where fair wages are paid. Notwithstanding these facts the late slaveholders are not satisfied, and but for the presence of the military and the prompt enforcement of the laws, the lives of the freedmen would be imperiled.

The President of the United States was seated in front of the Speaker's table. The Chief-Justice and Associate Justices of the ; United States occupied seat* next t< the President, on the right of the Speaker's ta ble. The beads of Departments, with the I Diplomatic Corps, occupied scats next to the President on the left <>t the Speaker's | table.

Butler, on entering the j hall, was applauded by his friends. The House was called to order at 12 o'- | clock by the Speaker,who,after a prayer by | the Rev. Mr* Boyntou, laid before them a | letter from Secretary Seward, addressed to I the Speakers, making his acknowledgments for the invitation to be present on this oc i casion, but seriously regretting that the | state of his health forbids bis attendance on the interesting national ceremonies. The Cabinet, excepting Mr. Seward, were present. Senator Doolittle conducted the orator of the day to a seat at tint table of the Clerk ;of the House. When the Senators, the ; President and his Cabinet and the Supreme I Court entered the hall, those on tU. tl r ' rose to their feet, and stood until tin former ! were all seated. Every seat in the ball was occupied,from | the fact that here were represented all I branches of the General and State Govern ments, together with ministers from foreign governments—these and thousands ol oth ers uniting in paying their tributes to the memory of the illustrious dead.

Lafayette S. Foster, President of the Senate pro lem, called the House to order, and, in a few pertinent remarks, in troduced the Hon. George Bancroft, who delivered the memorial address. SENATOR COWAN. —This gentleman who by some hocus-pocus was some years ago j chosen one of the Senators from this State. ! proves, as we have more than once said be- j fore to be a southern abstractionist and a pro-slavery advocate in all its phases. He j votes with the southern sympathizers ! against every measure calculated to bene fit the poor, emancipated negro, without regard to its character. He is generally the only man in the Senate, elected as a Union man, who votes in this way. The Other day when the District of Columbia Suffrage Dill was under debate, he deliver ed tht) following statesmanlike view on the question : " It was now proposed, after having freed the negro, to give him the right of suffrage. What would that do? Simply increase his chances for getting his head broken at the polls by a stronger race." Are we to infer that Mr. Cowan stays away from the polls from fear of coming in contact with a stronger head than his own ? — German/own Telegraph. TUF. CHRISTIAN COMMISSION —The Christian Commission held its annual and dosing i anniversary in the Hall of Representatives 1 Sunday evening.
