THE BURDEN OF PUBLIC DEBT.
Among a hundred authorities who wrote
and spoke and legislated for England while
her debt was growing from one hundred
and twenty-nine to, eight hundred and
eighty-four millions of pounds sterling,
which it did between the years 1776 and
1816, there were but two men whose appre
hension of its effect upon the national pros
perity in any measure corresponded with
the truth. These were Sir Joan - Sue
claret and - Emmen Brinni. They be
lieved that England could bear her debt,
pay it, and grow in wealth and power
under it. DAVID HOME, in 1776, when
the debt stood at the lowest amount here
mentioned, said that the revenues of more
than two-thirds of the kingdom were al
ready mortgaged Or anticipated forever.
ADAM Slant said, at the same time, that
Great Britain could not, without great dis
tress, support a burden a little greater than
that which has been already laid upon her.
And Dr. Pawn, in 1777, said that the ad
dition of a foreign war to the civil war of
the American Revolution would raise the
national debt to two hundred millions, in
nominal value, and sink it- to nothing in
real. worth. And so tie cry went on
increasing in forebodines of evil until
nearly everybody came to believe that the
English debt must either be repudiated or
sink the nation to utter bankruptcy. Aftei
the battle of Waterloo, when the total debt
was four thousand three hundred millions
of dollars, with an annual interest of one
hundred slid sixty-one and a quarter mil
lions, and was a charge of forty-vile dollars
on the hundred of the private property of
the 'United Kingdom, scarcely a man of
authority was bold enough to entertain or
ROMP a hope of DUCcesafally struggling
under the intolerable hurden. But what
has happened in'the half century that has
since elapsed ?
Rfrat. The principal of the debt has been
reduced three hpdred and eighty millions
of dollars, and the annual interest thirty
three and a half millions. This, indeed, is
not much in imount, but in burden the
reduction , is immense ; for in the meantime
the wealth of great Britain has grown from
ten thousand five hundred millions to thirty
two thousand, millions of dollars, or over
thrice the value of 1816, and the charge hes
fallen from forty-one to a fraction over
twelve per cent. of the value of the national
wealth.
Second. The annual interest in the year
1865, is a little less than one hundred and
twenty-eight millions of dollars, which is a
tax of but four-tenths of one percent. upon
the property of the nation ; in 1816 the in
terest of the debt was one and fifty-four
hundredths of one per cent., or nearly four
times greater. But the most recent history
of British finances is still more striking.
The official report of the exchequer shows
that in the five years ending on Slat March,
1665, filly-two millions three hundred and
thirty-one thousand dollars of the prinei
pal of the debt has been paid off, and in the
same time one hundred and thirty-nine
millions of taxes were remited or abolished,
by which is meant that the rates have been
so far reduced that upon the like value of
the previous subjects of taxation the total
revenue would have been reduced to this
amount. Here we have reduced rates -of
taxation, reduced debt, and increasing re
venue running together! The people con
suming more, buying cheaper, and paying
snore into the treasury than ever before,-
and all this has been accomplished precise
ly during the time when the staple industry
of the usually most prosperous portion of
the kingdom was struck down by a failure
in the supply of cotton, and half a million of
opemtives, whose aggregate wages had pre
viously reached the sum of one hundred and
forty thousand eight hundred dollars per
diem, or above forty-two millions per, year,
- were for about half the period changed
front producers of wealth into burdens
upon public benevolence;
Add to all this the fact that for nearly
this whole period of five years, the market
of the United States for British goods was
greatly reduced, and we have the fullest
proof that in the new era of wealth-pro
ducing agencies the nation's industry and
enterprise, though clogged by an accidental
failure in one of the greatest branches of its
trade, and a vast. reduction in its, best mar- -
ket, have proved more than a match for the
heaviest burden of debt borne by any people
under the sun. History, it is said, is--phi
losophy teaching by examples. Here is a
piece of history very full of instruction, if
men will but read it aright. Unfortunately,
however, men are much more disposed to
use history as a memory than as a philo
sophy; and under a vague notion that his
tory is ever repeating itself, they take half
the data of a past judgment, and apply the
same conclusions when they recur. Thus,
England was a debt-crushed nation when
she was worth but a third of her present
valuation, and when Wealth grew at less
than a third of the present rate ; and, there
fore, if we have 4, debt equal to three-fourths
ahem when her wealth was but two-thirds
of ours now, somehow or other, we are as
hopelessly involved in debt, burden, and
taxation as she used to be 1
It is as well known. as anything of this
kind can be known that the wealth of the
United States increased in the ten years
from 1840 tolBso but sixty-four per cent.,
and in the ten years from 1850 to 1860 one
hundred and twenty-eight per cent. ; and
it is by no means unlikely that the in
crease of the ten years from 1865 to 1875
will double again. The experience of Eng
land in this respect exactly corresponds
with' our own in the last twenty years.
That is, her growth of wealth has doubled
in the last decade, under the operation of
like eauses—supporting and corroborating
ours: But here and henceforward we
part company with her. She must live
under the economic laws of the Old World ;
we have discovered and entered upon a
new one, to which the adage that history - is
philosophy teaching by example has so
slight application, or fitness that it falls im
mensely short of prophecy for our future.
People ask, when will our National debt
be paid t If they mean, when will the ex
penses of the rebellion be paid, w e answer,
they are paid already. The bondholders
of the Government have the receipts in
their hands for the sum total. The ques
tion really means only this : :When will"
these expenses be equallyclistributed among
the entire population for the wealth to pay
the debt is not to be created ; it exists in
the nation already rthe people own all the
land they ever did, and all the property.
they ever did, tuid some of them their threa
thousand millions besides and no man,
woman or child in the loyal States is poorer
by a farthing than before the war began.
This is all there is in this" bugbear of Na
tional debt—this mortgage upon every man's
property and industry. The annual pro
duct of the loyal States is alone four thou
sand millions; in the last four years the.
products have been worth sixteen thousand
millions; at least three thousand millions of
this amnia is surplus over consumption,
profits in hand; and so the expenditure of
ti l ewar has been paid to the people alreadY, -
find all that they have to do with: this
amountof money is to divide it in due pro-
portion and. in due, time, upon the whole
people of the' present and'sneeeeding gene
ration, and them Will be " nobody hurt."'
It will be understood that we arc item
strictly speaking of the burden of the
national debt upon the national wealth,
and in this light will be allowed to say that
it is in fact paid already, and only reqiires
to be distributed pro rata upon the popula
tion or property of the country, and is-not
ill ally sense in diminution of the total
national resources. The nation's right hand
has gainedit, and its left hand must help to
support it. Or, it is to be shifted from one
pocket to another to be. carried-evenly; for
it has been produced as property already,
and is not to be created in future, nor will
it in any way hinder the productiveness of
the future.
WEILM JOHN BUIGHT snorm SEEK.
As its name implies, the House of Com
mons was originally established to repre
sent the commonalty or People of England:
The Parliament itself, though its designs.-
tion be derived from the - French—not
earlier, than the twelfth century—certainly
originated in the Saxon great councils of
the nation, called " Wittena-gemote," or
meeting of wise men. Under the Norman
Kings this assemblage was co n tinued, form
ing a judicial and ministerial as well as a
legislative body. Gradually, its judicial
functions were transferred to courts ofjus
tice, and its ministerial to the privy coun
cil—a remnant of the judicial power be
kg still preserved in the appellate juris
diction of the House of Lords. When the
Parliament was divided into two bodies,
Lords and Commons, the latter assumed
the exclusive right to assign the, supplies to
their proper uses, and as they became
more powerful, would insist. upon public
grievances being redressed by the sove
reign, before they would vote the annual
supplies out of the public. purse. During
the reigns of the Tunons, the influence and
power of the Parliament gradually advanced.
During the four reigns of the STUARTS, 1.603-
1688, there was a continual struggle between
the Crown and the Parliament, each striving
to obtain control of the military force of the
country. On the accession of WILLIAM of
Orange, the Parliament, which had de
posed JAMES 11. and called him to the
throne, necessarily became a greater power
than ever, and at the time (1714,) when
the House of Hanover was established in
England, this legislative body had become
the governing power of the realm. The
two first GEORGES to divide this power,
pitted the Commons against the Lords,
but, at this moment, the Commons possess
the active while the Lords have only the
passive power.
It was hoped that the Reform Bill, passed
in 1832, would destroy a great evil—the
facility with which persons entered the
House of Commons, through the fitvor of
persons who were owners of what were
called " pocket-boroughs," or by actually
buying these seats from men. The ave
rage price, at a general election, for a bo
rough-seat in a new Parliament, which
might lasbi for six years, was $20,000, but
as the average duration of each Parliament
is only three years, this made the cost
about $6,700 per annum, a seat for a sin-.
gle year, when the Parliament had nearly
ran out its time, rising to $lO,OOO. The
borough-owners, for the most part, were
members of the nobility, or untitled posses
sors of great landed estates. When a man,
with or without a title, was absolute owner
of, nearly all the houses in a borough which,
however decayed, (such as Gatton with a
few houses and two hundred and fifty in
habitants, which yet returned two mem
bers,) his agent or steward could say, and
usually did say, "You must vote for so
and-so, or turn out of your residence, at
Michaelmas." This one man, and not the in
habitants, actually returned the member%
In the case of Old Sarum, it was worse.
From the time of EDWARD lIL to that of
WILLIAM . IV., it returned two members to
Parliament and, for the last one hundred
and fifty years had neither house nor in
habitant., The owner of the land which,
once a fine city, it had formerly occupied,
sent whom he pleased into the House of
Commons, as its nominal representatives.
As a general rule, the purchaser of one of
these parliamentary seats was expected,
usually even pledged, to vote with the party
which its proprietor favored. So absolute
was the properfy in these boroughs that the
Duke of Newcastle, who was the principal
proprietor of the borough of Newark,
claimed a right to control the votes of the
electors, and, to justify this usurpation,
once exclaimed, in Scripture language,
"Cannot I do as I please with mine own ?"
If a noble wanted to obtain higher rank
in the peerage, if a great landlord desired
to become a noble, if a retired millionaire
citizen wished to be made a Baronet, which
is the first step in the ladder of titular dig
nity, his machinery was set to work in the
House of Commons. If he owned one or
more boroughs, he would barter the 'Votes of
their members for the " dignity" he coveted,
and if he did not possess such ownership,
he bought borough-seats for himself and his
adherents, and surely won his way—by
prudently voting for the Minister—to the
desired result.
In most cases, when a noble was or is, (for
the Reform Bill which abolished the Tory,
carefully preserved moat of the Whig pocket
boroughs,) anxious to have ins own politi
cal views represented - in the House of Com
mons, he made it safe by returning his own
sons, or, at least, near relatives, or close
connexions of his family. In the last Par
liament there were over two hundred and
fifty members who did not belong to the
Commons, but were scions of the No.
bility. In the Parliament which dis
missed Sir ROBERT PEEL from office,
in 1846, there were two hundred and
sixty-six of these aristocratic gentlemen,
consisting of Peer's eldest sons, heirs-pre
sumptive, younger sons, grandsons, bro
thers, nephews, cousins, sons-in-law, bro
thers-in-law and fathers-in-law, besides four
Irish peers. Here were three-sevenths o
the Commons' House drawn from a class
at perpetual antagonism to the interests of
the Commons or people. The " Third Es
tate of the realm is not what it should be.
The Commons' House of Parliament should
consist wholly of Commoners, but really
includes a great-many of the nobility. In
the new House, the Duke of Devonshire
has one brother and three song ; the Mar
quis oD Westminster has two sons and a
nephew; the Duke of Buccleugh, the Mar
quis of Salisbury, and the Earl of , Derby,
have two sons each. Thus _ five, nobles of
the highest rank and greatest wealth ac
tually send thirteen of their own nominees
into the new House of Commons.
Mr. BRIGHT, and the small but compact
phalanx who act with him,
"Few and faint, but fearless still,"
are endeavoring to extend the right of
Voting to all men of adequate age, that is,
to all who pay taxes. He would ex
clude all who cannot read and -write;
but the 'want of elementary education
in England is so great that this would
deprive too many of the franchise, The
number of voters in the British Isles is
about one million whereas it should be
seven. A long time will elapse before the
franchise will be thus extended. If Mr.
BRIGHT wants to make the House of Com
mons represent the people, he has to sup
plement his Reform Bill, by inserting a
clause that no son or heir-presumptive of a
peer, no Irish peer, no member of the Gov
ernment, no on:The-holder, plaeeman, sine
curist, nor pensioner, shall be eligible to
vole in the House of Commons. If desira
ble, each Minister might attend and speak,
but - without any right to vote. The pre
sence of re,cognized representatives of the
Government might be useful, for state
ments have to be made, questions answer
ed, explanations made; but it really is
monstrous that the members of the
Cabinet, with their paid adherents, shall
vote on, and make majorities upon, their
own measures. The Commons, once
cleared of its noble element, and relieved
from the presence of officials, would, at last,
fairly represent the people of England.

at that time was MilitaTY Tennoll
- In Nov embed' met Mi. &daft, the first

Lion of Governor Johnson, who, in September
(1803,) appointed him as an agent to attend to
these people exclusively. lie held that office
up to April, 1864, a p4riod of seven months,
during which he received about ten thousand
persons, the poor whites of Tennessee, Geor
gia, and Alabama.
I took notes of his testimony at the time,
and submitted them to Mr. Oviatt for correc
tion, and thus amended I now reproduce them.
" It was pitiable," he said, "before the office
that he filled was created,-to see the listless
reas and extreme poVerty of the refugees,
who, during his term, were of the lower class
almost exclusively. 'The men who Recompil e
niedthe parties would sit down on their mise
rable and rude furniture with a stolid apathy,
as if they had no interest in life and no mo
tive for exertion. They paid no attention to
anybody or anything, until their women came
back and told them that they had found a
place to go to until they could leave the city.
The thought never seemed to suggest itself to
them that it was the duty of the husband to
go and search for a shelter for his wife and
children." Mrs. Oviatt, who'• had lived in
the South for fourteen years, and who
had seen a great deal of the life of
this class added to her husband's state
ment that was precisely the was in which
they acted at home. " They depend for
everything on their wives," she said. I asked
her " What did these men do, then 1" "Oh !
go fishing and hunting, and . drink whisky
when they can get it," she responded. "The.
women do pretty much all the hard labor." I
asked if they could read, and what proportion
of them 1 Kr. Oviatt replied that their
nuance was "beyond anything we can con
ceive of in the North." "It was . amazing.
There is not one per cent. who can read."
inquired concerning their morals, and was
told that nearly all the boys of eight and nine
and upwards were smokers; that "they all
swore and lied without auy exceptions, and
so do all the women'," he added. " They all
swear and they all smoke br chew tobacco or
dip snuff', and sometimes all four 1" I had
heard enough along the military Tailroads to
have formed an unfavorable opinion of their
fidelity to the marriage vow but Dlr. Oviatt
said that in his opinion they were worse in
that , respect than the negro women them
selves.
After a long conversation, I returned to the
habits of these people, and asked again, "Do
they all smoke-, or chew, or clip?" Mr. Oviatt
did not remember a single exception. Not
one. The lower strata of these lower classes,
he said, take the tobacco leaf, dry it, and chew
it, without any other preparation. Dir. Oviatt
could not recall a single instance of women or
good-sized girls who did not use tobacco in
some form. A young girl,- a refugee from
Northern Alabama, who was present, was
asked if she knew of any woman or girl among
her acquaintances who did not smoke. "Only
ono—granddaddy's folks," she replied ;-" the
old man's opposed to tobacco. But his is the
only family. Iltnow that don't smoke.) ,
These people have one peculiarity that is
generally supposed to be characteristic of the
negro. When they fall sick they rarely re
cover. They seem to have no tenacity Of life,
I made inquiries as to the relative self-reli
anee of the poor 'whites and the negroes. Mr.
Oviatt said that he had taken pains to gather
the statistics touching on this point, and per
mitted me to copy a paragraph from a private
letter that he had written to a philanthropist
thereon. It was dated February, leCrt.
"A few words, now," ho writes, "about the
refugees and the contrabands. I:find that for
the five days ending the 15th instant, the
number of rations issued was, for refugees,
36413 ; for city poor, 3,3; for contrabands, 971
The number issued during the five preceding
days was, for refugees, 3,9/9 ; for city poor,
1,94.0; for contrabands, 474. rutting the two
together, we have for ten days, 5,169 of city
poor, and 1,445 of contrabands—being - about
three and one-half for city poor for one Mick,
supposing that their numbers were equal.
But when we learn the relative proportion, it
speaks still better for the black ; for we have
23,000 whites in Nashville, and onlyo,ooo blacks.
We find, therefore, that we are feeding .03 1 4,
per Cent. of the whites, while we are feeding but
.016 per cent. of the whole negro population.
In counting city poor, I only take into account
those who were residents here previous to the
rebellion all the rest being
. under the head of
refugees ; and, at the same time, in taking the
total:number of blacks in'the eity, I have taken
colored refugees and all. Take the white as I
have the black, and the percentage is about
.036—telling badly for the whites.
" I promised you some statistics comparing
the blacks and Irish. I am told the Irish. popu
lation of the city is about 3,000. The popula
tion, therefore, is as one to three of the blacks.
Now, more than siityper cent. of the city-poor
are Irish; and, taking the comparative num
ber relieved, we have six Irish to one negro;
or a disproportion as against the Irish of eigh
teen to one—eighteen Irish paupers to one ne
gro pauper. Truly it may be said, as one friend
remarked to me a few days ago, 'Better let
the blacks take care of themselves, and put
some one to hiring out and providing for the
whites.' "
So far Mr. Oviatt, with his experience of
10,000 of these members of the new ruling class
South ; • and his wife, with her fourteen years'
life among them. After taking their testimony,
I ballad at the liefugeh Henke, I fOnini it in
charge of a colonel whose name I failed to note,
and liaye since forgotten. He said that there
had been an averae of 3,000 refugees a month
pass through this house all summer long, and
at the time of my visit they numbered at least
4,000 monthly.- Since the date of its establish
ment no less than :35,000 persons hadifound a
temporary shelter under its roof. I asked the
colonel whether these people were intelligent
or the reverse. "Lord !" he exclaimed, as if
amazed that the thought of intelligence could
be associated with them., "they don't know Ii
from. a bull's foot. Half of them don't know
anything at all. You have to kiek.everything
into them." Be described the men in the same
terms as Mr., Oviatt used—as good-for-nothing,
listless, lazy, and stupid ;• and the women as
dirty in their habits and in their morals worse.
But it was the women, he quickly added, who
did all the work. .
A few months later, I met at Cincinnati the
Secretary of the Refugee Commission, who
thwidescribesthe refugees thatpassed through
its Temporary Rome : "Of these refugees," he
writes, " about two-thirds are worthy people,
though they are ignorant and apparentlyhave
always been- poor; they are industrious and
anxious to improve, and seem honest andsim
ple-hearted. About one-third are lazy and
irty, and SO,apathetic as to leave little hope
for improvement in this generation. Still they
are not likely to swell the,police reports of the
North. The absolutely vicious make a very
small proportion of the whole. Three-fourths
of the whole—the women—have been trained
to till the soil, obtaining a scanty living among
the hills of Tennessee and Georgia." This is
_written of an experience of less than dye 111111-
dred refugees, but is valuable as far as it goes
to illustrate the character of the new ruling
class South.,
. .
Carlyle says that every human brain, no
matter bow -brutalized, has got some dim
theory of the universe which it would profit
one to hear, if stated with a becoming , brevity - .
So these degraded poor whites have their no
tions of the "rebellion,lts cause, and cure,"
which I often heard delivered with many an
oath, and flushing of the cheeks, and flashing
of the a e, and amazing grammatical blun
ders. When at Dalton, and at other points in
Georgia, I saw hundreds of the home guards,
all of whom were fully developed specimens
of the poor white trash. They came chiefly
from the hilly northern counties of Georgia, in
which the loyalists—nearly the entire poor
population—had been very cruelly persecuted
by the rebel authorities. They frankly avowed
that their solepurpose in seeking to be recog
nized by the r ederal Government as regular,
or rather legitimate, troops was to obtain -re
venge. They wished to 'have the power to hang,
shoot, and destroy in retaliation of the wrong,
that they had endured. They desired, in other
word_p_, to. be Federal bushwhackers, '
ported, armed, and equipped by the National_
Government. They were equally ignorant
and vindictive; yet they understood clearly
enough the Arne philosophy of the rebel
lion. They never spoke of the rebels but
of "these big nigger-holders," who, they said,
with one accord, mutt be killed and their es
tates divided up, or the Union would never be
secure. a You can't get a principle out of a
man unless you kill him," said one of them to
me. "That's a fact," said the other; " you
must kill a man to get the principle out of
him." The first speaker went on to show that
the "big nigger-holders " were thormighly
aristocratic ; that while they held the land
and owned the labor the poor man must neces
sarily be driven to the sterile mountain dis
trictS, and, as a consequence, that the same
class who brought on the rebellion -would be
ag! in in power, and constitute the State, and
educe the present state of things within a
few "ears. "For," he added, "this war has
only , grOilhd the principle into them worse
than ever." - I found this to be the almo.st uni
versal sentiment of the loyal poor whites of
Northern - -Georgia, Northern Alabama, and-
Eastern Tennessee.
After visiting nearly every town from
Athens; Alabama, -to Atlanta, Georgia, and
from Nashville to Chattanooga, If - thus wrote
last autumn of the - habits and houses of the
poor whites, and if my notes are rough and
unpolished, they have at least the fidelity of
a daguerreotype as:,to details, and may serve
indeed as a pleasant change to the smooth and
scholarly English of . your,:other contributors :
" I have more than'oneemeidentally alluded.
to the prevalence of dipping and snuffing as
pyactised by the woraettßown here. In travel
ing by railroad every one has chances enough
to see women smoking. They do not seek to
conceal this habit. Ttley can be seen sitting
very often, with- their chairs tipped back, se
renely smoking at the doors of their houses.
The pipes that these daughters of the South
delight to patronize are frequently, I think
generally, made out of a corn-cob whittled
down. 1. or stems they use vanes and goose
euills. The custom is not merely common, it
is universal among the lower classes.
"I walked on foot from Decatur, Alabama,
to Athens, twelve or fifteen miles, and during
this trip first saw with my own eyes the
practice and the apparatus of dipping , . As
this is an indoor pasttime, the traveller has
less chance to see it than its twin-sister vice—
smoking. It was at bieDonaldfs Station. I
went into a house, a large log-cabin, and asked
if they would get me a dinner. There were
two girls and a few children in,. the house.
One of thegirls seemed to be about eighteen,
the other about fifteen years of age. But I
found that they, were each three years younger
than my estimate. They called the woman
of the house, the sister of the elder girl.
She came in, said that I mowt dine there
if I could wait, and lay down on a bed in
that one of the two rooms that served for
kitchen and dining apartment. I will not stop
to deikeribe either room. It is enough to say
that it—that everything in it—was cheerless,
and rude, and dirty ; that it had no cellar, no
closets, and only a thin floor ; and that through
the walls and through the floor the wind might
enter, and the rain might enter, even if the
king of England couldn't enter. The woman
was realiy 'sick. She spat blood—and snuffy
saliva, When she wanted to spit—which she
often did—she slightly raised her long lank
form, and spat against the sides of the house.
Sometimes she missed her mark and spat
against the high head-board of the bed.
" After my dinner of bacon, corn bread, and
buttermilk was eaten, the girl who cooked it—
quite a pretty young creature—before going
out for sonic water, went to her sister's bed,
and tried to slide a tin - box that I saw under
the pillow, beneath her apron. I playfully
protested, and asked her if she dipped snuff

After the battle of Nashville had an excel- -
lent opportunity of seeing the poem white::: of
Southern Tennessee and. Northern Alabama
in their own homes. I accompanied General
Stedman, now commanding in Georgia, in the
movement which was designed to prevent
Hood from recrossing the Tennessee. In -re
turning we scoured the bottom lands between
Huntsville and Stevenson, which are exclu
sively occupied by the poor Whites. I find
that I thus recorded my experience of the
country and the people :
"The section that General Cruft and I tra
versed on this ride was a part of the bottom
lands and the bluffs of the Tennessee. it is
inhabited almost exclusively by poor whites.
There are Very few slaves and no i rich people
-anywhere. But poor as it is, and out of the
way, it had not escaped the eagle-eyed con
scription of the rebels, nor the visits of their
guerillas, nor the retaliatory calls of the home
guards, who style themselves loyal, and are
so, but refuse to do other than local duty,
which enables OM to plunder with the
semblance of authority. It is everywhere the
same Stone—low, wet wooded land; the trees
leafless, tall, thick, with dwarfish, ungraceful
branches; here a worm-eaten trunk, still
standing ; there a stray bunch of green bushes,
to make everything around it appear the
more dreary h
y contrast: a 'God-forsaken
country,' if there ever was one, to look at on
a cold, rainy clay, from horseback and a
hungry The cliffs, on the other hand, are
steep, rocky, covered with dull, ashen-colored
trees—the haunts of the guerilla and the
buzzard ; they are as cheerless as the bottoms
that they overlook.
" The people axe like the Country—as dull
eyed and stupid as the lowlands ; as gaunt,
angular, and vacant as the bluffs. Their dress
is coarse; their food is coarse; their manners
and their thoughts are coarse. I write not of
the rebels only, but of the entire population.
Rebel or loyal, it is all the same in, quality.
They have no love of culture, of civilization,
or of truth. The schoolmaster was abroad
when this section was first settled, and has
never returned, to stay, UP tO date. To and
young women who can read and write is the
rare exception—to find them as i °rant as
the plantation negro is the co on rule.
They are not to be blamed. They have had no
chance and no encouragement. The wealthy
slaveholders frowned on all attempts to edu
cate the people, and the prejudices they
created, or the vileness of their social systeffi,
speedily drove away any warcdering Yankee
whom accident or philanthropy or a desire
to better his condition drifted into these be
nighted regions.
" The houses of these people are rude log
buts, mostly without the interstices properly
filled up, and therefore as cold as they are
primitive and cheerless. It is singular to see
bow little 'gumption' they have. One loses
patience with them. Instead of going to work
and filling up all the gaps in the walls, and
thereby , keening out the cold, they pile cords
of wood on ilreS on the hearth, beneath chim
neys that are built outside of the cabin, and
that thereby scoop up alt the warm air as fast
as it is made. So they shiver. and roast, roast
and shiver, freezing on one side and scorching
on the other, turning themselves round like
human spits, heating themselves by , detail and
cooling themselves by sections, instead of se
curing by a little labor a comfortable room,
where they could make one job of it and be
clone with it, and then go to some other work
'like Christians.' To make the matter worse,
the wind takes the liberty to visit them
through the floor. I did not wonder at seeing
so many pale, wan consumptive women. Their
style Of living is 'barbarous enough to kill a
civilized horse. There is a heathendom. in
America that we have got to redeem before
we can lay a just and permanent aleipx to the
character and reputation of a civilized land."
Although my notes are still unexhausted, I
cannot intrude any further on your space. I
bad- intended to show by another series of
facts that there mug be universal suffrage in
the South ; that the disfranchiaement of aiiq
class, instead of helping to promote an endu
ring peace, will inevitably produce instead,
not a war of sections as recently,but of classes
and of races as in St. Domingo.

[From the Delaware County Republican.)
The County Meeting of the Union men of

Since Lockhart's death there has not up-
Peered a more readable article in the London
Quarterly Review, than that . upon Grouse, in
the new number, just republished in New
York, and received from W. B. Zieber, 106
South Third street. It is full of pleasant de
tail, and gives the history and mystery of
grouse-shooting in Scotland as it never before
was given. There is a paper on The Close of
the American War, more moderate than usual.
The other subjects are The Appian Way—
Christian and Pagan Sepulchres; Browning's
Poems, strongly eulogized ; North Polar Ex
ploration ; Gleanings .from the Natural nista
rY of the Tropics ; The Church and her rela
tions to Political Parties; Carlylol9 Frederick
the Great; Sanitary Reform in London; and
The Elections.
The September number of the Atlantic Month
ly, received from T. B. Pugh, Sixth and Chest•
nut, opens with the beginning of what pro
mises to be a thoroughly good story, called
"Coupon Bonds." There are continuations,
respectively, of " Needle and Garden," lk Mar
vel's "Doctor Johns," and Mrs. Howe's most
sensible "Chimney Corner." An account of
an American's visit tO-Ansa Edgeworth will
be read with interest on both Sides Of the At
lantic ; and we recommend " Our Future Mill.
tia System" to all grades and classes of men.
The poetry is not as good as it ought to be in a
magazine of such high pretension as this, but
most of its prose is very good. prom" Run
ning at the Hands," evidently a relation of
facts by an eye-witness, we take the following
account of the petticoat capture of Air. Jeffer
son-Davis:
Andrew Bee, a private. of Company I, went
to the entrance of Davis , tent, and was met by'
Mrs. Davis, "bareheaded and barefoot," as he
described kber, who, putting her hand on his
arm, said
" Please, don't go in there , till, my dayghter
gets herself dressed !"
Andrew thereupon drew back, and-in a few
Minutes the young lady (Miss Howell) and an
other person, bent-over as with age, wgaring a
lady's "water-proof," gathered at the waist,
with a shawl drawn over the head., and carry
ing a tin pail, appear, and ask to go to " the run"
for water. - Mrs. Davis also appears, and says :
" For God's sake, let my old mother go to
get some water !" .
No objections being made, they passed out.
But sharp eyes were Upon the singular-look.
ing , 4 old mother." Suddenly, Corporal Hun
ye; of Company` C, and °the* at the same in
stant discovered that the" old mother" was
wearing very heavy boots for an aged female,
and the Corporal exclaimed: -
" That is not a woman! Don't . you see the
boots." and, spurring his horse forward and
cocking his carbine compelled the withdrawal
of the shawl, and disclosed Jeff Davis.
As if - stung by this discovery of his unman
liness, Jeff struck an attitude, and cried out:
"Is there a man among you'? If there is, let.
me see him !"
"Yes," said the Corporal, "I am one ; and if
3'ou stir, I will blow your brains out P , •
" I know my fate," said Davis, 6, and might
as well die here.” -
But his wife threw her arms around his
neck, and kept herself between him and the
threatening Corporal. -
No harm however, was done him, and he
was generally kindly spoken to; he was only
stripped of lus female attire. -
. .
Ds a loan, he was dressed in a complete 'Suit
of gray,a light felt hat, and high cavalry
boots, with a gray beard of about six weeks'
growth covering his face: t
lie said lie thought thatour Government was
WO magnanimous to hunt women and children
that way.
Wimp Colonel Pritchard told him that he
would do the best he could for his comfort, he
answered
"I ask no favors of yomc
Too which surly reply the Colonel courte
ously responded by assuring him of kind
treatment. * - * * * *
Mrs, Davis Was very watchful lest some dis
respect should be shown her husband. She
assumed the responsibility of the disguise,
saying she put the clothing on the "Presi
dent.') She complained that the guard kept
their guns cocked ; but When it was explained
to her that the Spencer carbine was for safety_
carried at half-cock, she seemed content. In.
personal appearance she is nearly the oppo
site of her husband, who is a man wearing an
ill expression of countenance, slim, spare,and
under six feet, while she is quite fair, and of
good size. On the road, both Mr. and Mrs. D&
vie were at times seen in tears. She read the
Bible to him, and be regularly asked a blessing
over their meals. We" Vandals,” ache so often
proclaimed us to 13e, did not disturb tutu.
There were men among his captors who had
been prisoners at Andersonville, but .they
spoke of him without malice ; they only asked
for justice, as they recalled tlicir fearful ex
perience. Davis recognized and claimed the
horse private Lynch had seized, and when he
pleased, was permitted to ride him.
The members of Davis ) staff submitted with
better grace than he to the capture and march,
and were generally q_uite communicative • but
when speaking to Jeff, they removed their
hats, and addressed him as " President Davis."
The most interesting individual of the cap
lured - party, was , famee H. Brooks, a little mu
latto boy, about the size of Davis' son, who
was his playmate. The little fellow readily
affiliated with the Yankees, and became quite
a pet.
The news of Davis , capture spread like wild
lire. The country people came in great
crowds to see him; he did not show himself,
however„ usually avoiding the sight of these
wbo flocked to .see him. We did not under
stand that the people had come to sympa
thize with him, or to do him honor, but only
that they were simply seeking to gratify their.
curiosity. To us they expressed - exultation at
his capture andthe , prospect of peace.

more cast down.
RAIL SHOOTING.—Mr. Walter, the editor of
the Delaware County Republican, at Chester,
himself a true sportsman, thus speaks of rail
shooting in the vicinity of Chester, the head
quarters of that kind of shooting
" The season for rail-shooting does not com
mence until the first of September next. There
in a law in existence which. inilie,ts a fine of
five dollars for every bird killed prior to that
time; and ,yet scarcely a' day passes that we
do not observe some vile poacher carrying
these birds through our streets. They are
mostiy of the lower class of men from the city,
who manage to evade the fine. They are also
killed by gentlemen who come here in yachts
from Philadelphia. To the credit of our gun
ners be it said, but few encroachments have
been Made upon the law. No true sportsman
will bag a rail before the first of September."
WHAT THE SOUTH WHINES or vas Corrisit
isrAnS. The Augusta Chnstifutionalise thus
speaks of the Northern Copperheads:
Before the war they were great on promises.
During the war they were exceedingly great
on doing nothing. The boasted assistance
they were to give the South in case she resort
ed to arms, to force the Republicans from
place and power, was an empty boast-that's
all. These designing politicians are now once
snore at work to entangle this section into
Schemes which will result in their own good,
and our injury. We hope no leading Southern
miggior the masses, will be deceived by them.
If Mt permit ourselves to be cajoled, we will
find out when too late that we have been made
dupes of for the benefit of a set of men who
tare nothing for us except OUr political influ
ence. history proves this. Why should we al
low a repetition of that of which we have al
ready been the only ones to reap bitter fruitl
Let us avoid all entangling political alliances
with the dead Copperhead Democratic party
of the North. We can gain nothing by so do
ing? On the contrary, we will be the losers in.
the future, its we have been in times past. Let
us attend to our own affairs, and our future
will be one of greatness and prosperity.

CHESTNUT•STaIi&T Tinwrna—resterday even.
lug this theatre was reopened for the sect:
son. Deficient in capacity, as compared with
its rivals, it has an excellent situation and
is well ventilated. The stock company has
been much strengthened and increased. Mr ,
and Mrs. W. E. Chapman, Walter Lennox'
Mr. and Mrs. Mordaunt, and many more of the
old company, are retained, with a not unac
ceptable infusion of new performers from
other cities. Chief among these is Miss Jose
phine Orton (lately the "star" of the Warren
Combination Troupe), a young lady of great
ability, with good looks and a fifte figure. Mr.
B. Young, long at the Walnut-street Theatre'
where he was known and valued as a careful,
reliable, and effective actor in a line which he
may be said to ,have made his own, is also a
member of this company, Mr. Robert Eberle,
formerly of this city, and lately connected
with the drama in Boston, is the new promp
ter, and will be found intelligent and steady.
Mr. Joseph C. Foster, who has had consider-.
able_ theatrical experience, is the stage ma
nager. Mr. Birgfeld presides in the orchestra,
and Mr. W. E. Sinn, Joint lessee, is resident
manager.
The "bright, particular stars'l who shone
last night were Miss Kate Reignolds and Mr.
Sedley Smith. The comedy seleeted, to intro
duce them was a The Wender; a Woman
keeps a Secret," written by Susanahtent
livre, one hundred and fifty years ago, and
still a favorite with audience. and performers.
The verytitle has a certain piquancy in it—
libelling the fair sex, as -it does, by imput'a.
tion. The charaeters, scene, and costume
are Portuguese, and therefore picturesque.
The play was successful in the leading points
of its presentation. Mr. Mordaunt agreeably
surprised us by his spirited and intelligent, if
sometimes rather loud, rendition of Don Felix.
Were he a little more subdued, he would have
:been almost wholly successful. Mrs. Keach
(widow of the clever and much-respected gen
tleman who was stage manager of the Walnuts
street Theatre some years ago) was put into
the character of Isabella, which is too much
for a novice. The lady is young and well
looking, and may yet become an actress. Of
the small Tart of Flora '
a great deal, but not
too much, was made 'by Miss Annie Ward, a
very lively young lady, who has admirable
notions of acting. Her by-play is perfect. In
this line of character she will probably be un
surpassed, ere long. Miss Reignolds, who has
wonderfully improved in all respects since we
last saw her, some years ago, had a fine recep
tion, and played Donna Piotante in a charming
manner. Silo has matured into a very good
actress, and her figure has bnproved into
a becoming fulness which is far removed
from what is called stout. Her action is
natural and graceful ; her voice clear and
sweet, but always audible ; her laugh has the
silvery! ring Of Mrs. Zlishett, and her in tel
lectual understanding of the author's language
thorough and intelligent. She is handsome,
tcoo. In, short, she is a splendid performer.
This evening she will play in "The Youth of
Richelieu?'
WAtitev-sTrtewr TREATEn—The house was
as much crowded as it had been on the opening
on Saturday. Mr. Clarke's Major De Boots was
a wonderful eihibition of "eccentric" comedy,
which is near akin to broad .farce. He seems
to have studied and stereotyped every accent,
movement, attitude, and glance in this mu
sing part. Mr. J. A. Herne is somewhat more
animated, as Mr. Feltz Featherly, than before,
but does not gibe the delicate by-play
which renders the sparkling dialogue
doubly effective. Mr. Fawcett, more assured
than on Ills - first appearance, -played
with greater ease, and' favorably. impressed.
the audience. Beth gentlemen dressed
in very good taste. Miss Annie Graham, ac
commodating her voice to the size of the
house, was acceptable, because audible—her
elocution is excellent. Miss Effie Gertnon, as
before, spoke so low as frequently to,be indis
tinct. In fact she has a part for which she is not
equal. In light ,farce, or as a soubrette, she
plays very agreeably, but there is a long dis
tance between the lowest step in comedy and
the highest. Both ladies were charmingly at
tired; and looked extremely well. Every

The arrest of Edward 13, Netchum, on Fri
day evening has not surprised many persons,
because it was supposed that this rash specu
lator had not left New York, and could pass
his intimate friends without any apprehen
sion of a detection. That this young man will
not escape punishment for his conduct is not
certain. The crimes against society in high
places when not visited bytenalties are calcu
lated to increase the class of offences which
business men deplore, and the influence upon
youthful minds in the great marts of trade
and finance, as well as elsewhere, cannot be
too highly estimated when gigantic offences
are perpetrated with impunity. Thus far no
new light has been let in on the lamentable
transactions of this mfflguided young man, and
it is not yet apparent that he has the power to
explain away his apparent eulpability.
Tile total amount of mutilated fractional
currency redeemed and destroyed for the past
week is 1420,200.
Certificates of Indebtedness, amounting to
K 821,100,. ilaVe-peen reduced Bince, the lath

No additional depositories of public money
have been authorized by the Secretary.of the
Treasury since August 20.
It is proper, in order to prevent an erroneous
impression, to state that the majority of the
banks in the above list are conversions. from
State banks, which were presented prior to
July 1, and which have been delayed by some
defect in their papers, or from which the final
certificate has been 'withheld until their State
Circulation should he redimed within the limits
prescribed by the national banking law. The
two or three new organizations reported were
sanctioned prior to July 1, but have only j ust
perfected their arrangements. Of the entire
list but one hadbeen authorized since the date
named, that one being at Selma, Ala. It may
be stated 'generally that national banks now
being reported organized may properly be
classed as " delayed business" in the Treasury
Department.
The semi-annual coin interest on the ten
forty loan, due on the Ist of September,
amounts to $4,319,2.52.
