Mr. Seward is pursuing his traffic in real estate with a good deal of pertinacious en terprise end seems determined to have the Danish posessions in the West Indies, cost what they may. The latest accounts are in effect that the three islands comprised in this negotiation can be had for $11,500,000 a mere bagatelle with a nation that has a debt of $2,500,000,000 on its hands. What we want with these islands we are at a loss to conjecture, unless the Secretary desires them to" mix .in with the frozen regions added to our" territory on the North, to give the coun try an agreeable temperature, upon the same principle' that the Scotchman com pounded his punch. lie put in whiskey to mike it strong water to make it weak lemon to make it sour, and sugar to make it sweet. Mr. Seward seems determined to counterbalance $7,000,000 worth of frigid zone attached to us upon the North by an addition of $11,500,000 worth of the torrid on our South, and in this way give us a more equal climate. Seriously, it is to be hoped that the Senate -wilt shut down the gate on these real estate transactions by refusing to confirm any more treaties in that direction until the national debt is re duced and the burthens of the people les sened. Taxes are sufficiently onerous now without having $11,500,000 more added to thein. ... . Chief J ustice Chase gives considerable at tention to financial matters. lie thinks the time not far distant when the Government will have returned to specie payments, when he considers all the United States bonds will 02 redeemed in specie. On the subject of a uniform currency the world over, he is at present much interested. He also thinks the banking system of this country will be adopted by the rest of the world. He con siders the- experiment here has proved its practicability. . ... -A Good Hit. Thomas K. Beeoher, the eccentric clergyman of Elmira, holds forth in a column of the Elmira Advertiser every week,' saying many things sharp and quaint. Two weeks ago he got off the following : "The Jess a man knows, and more liquor he drinks, the more determined he is to make this "a white man's government." That strikes us as being one of the home truths of the age in which we live. It will lar repeating and loss none of its piquancy thereby. It may not be generally known that in Sweeden elementary education is almost u niversaf, and that in that country, for, near ly two hundred years, the ability to read and write has been indispensible to the as -sumption of the functions of citizenship'. There this old monarchy leads tfie van in the elevation of the qualifications of its sub jects, before committing to them that share in political influonce and duties which are granted to its citizens. The Democrats are evidently impressed with the idea that what they call the graat reaction was only a sport. Senator Bucka lew, ia a speech in the Quaker City, recent ly, asserted that the voice cf the minority was not sufficiently respected iri this coun try, and called upon the people to demand a legislative alternation in the laws regula ting the thing. The Honorable Senator will shortly be out of office. Records kept during the war show that cold steel plays but Tittle part in modern battles. In three years there were repor ted on the Union side only 143 bavonet wounds, and 105 sabre cuts. Gunpowder does the work. Modern artillery and lone range rifles give little chance for the bayo net or the dashing cavalry charge; Since Gen. Sherman made his address to the Army of the Tennessee, the Democracy have commenced "going back" on him. The shots he fired into the "lost cause" in dicate to them that he is not qnite sound ; therefore he is not quite so much a Presi dential candidate as he was a week ago. A complaint is made that the Internal revenue for the year has fallen off. A close calculation will probably disclose that the falling of, outside, of the whisky frauds, ia in proportion to the contraction of the cur rency. - Chief Justice Chase, while at Richmond last week, was not visited by any of the reb els, Even the members of the Richmond bar refrained from paying their respects to him as is customary. For drunkenness, drink cold water; for'i health, rise early; to be happy, be honest;" to please all, mind your own business. Southern View of Grant's Position. The recent victories of the Dempcratic party in the North have encouraged pome of the rebel presses to the expression of timid opinions on the Presidential question. One of these (the New Orleans Crescent) at the head of - half a column of attempted sneering at General Grant, says: "If Grant has any politics he is proba bly a Radical. At least lie knows that the Radicals have absolute control of the Re publican party, and that his nomination muit come from tlem. We presume he expects nothing from the Democratic par ty. If the recent overwhelming defeat of the Republicans have driven the Radicals to the alternative of Grant or nothing, with a very good chance for nothing even with Grant, their recent brilliant victories have relieved the Democrats from the necessity cf taking up a doubtful man, or of seeking for other advantages than those conferred on them by the tyrannical, arbitrary, un constitutional and corrupt legislation of their antagonists." After this authoritative announcement from a leading Democratic organ, that Gen. Grant "expects nothing" from that party, we presume Northern organs of the same party will cease their attempts to create the impression that Grant is ia hearty sympa thy with the Copperhead policy. It may be more difficnlt to convince either intelli gent Democrats or Republicans that the lat ter are driven "to the alternative of Grant or nothing, with a very good chance for nothing.'' - In a Bad Way. There is a paper in Baltimore called the Evening times, which may be regarded as a model of fire-eating journalism. It has just nominated Andrew Johnson for President in 1808, when, it aays, we will have the first Presidential election since 1856 ; thus, "Doe it evero ccur to the reader that it is now about eleven years since we have had a Presidential election in this country ? The popular frenzy in 1SG0, which sent Lincoln and Hamlin to Washington, can wxtrcely be called a sober or deliberate expression of the will of the people. It was only what the Indians would call a "big drunk," and as the "drunk" led us into tour years civil war an uchappy condition of things s-uc-ceeded, which made the next so-called Presidential election in 1864 a melancholy farce, in which the voice of the people was stifled by the exercise of a villainous, mili tary despotism. " The Times then proceeds to say that things are still unchanged; that "under ro circumstances, as things stand at present, can we have another full and free Presiden tial election until 1872." If this is true, why has the Times nominated Andrew Johnson for 1868? Is he 'to run as a sec tional candidate and. become a "Rump'' President? The Times is, at least, open to the suspicion of favoring another "big drunk" election. Repudiation. The following letter from that able finan cier, Hon. V. E. Spinner, Treasurer o the United States, will be read with interest. It is direct and to the point. The letter was written to Hon. E. G. Spaulding, Buf falo, New York, and is as follows : "Your note of the 6th instant has been received. If some one who believes in high-toned swindling will write in favor of open repudiation. I will agree to give the subject the consideration of a careful read ing. But-I have not the patience to read any thing advocating the sneaking expedi ent of paying the National debt in depreci ating currcnc3T. The Secretary of the Treasury is sound on that subject, and in his forthcoming annual report will address an argument to Congress and the country that I am suie will please you and those who are neither knaves nor fools! The finance question is to becoiu? the leading one in the reorganization of parties, and I had hoped that such men as Butler and Stevens would have remained with the great body of .'their friends. Having an abiding faith in the honesty of the people, I believe the question will be settled honestly, and that honest Americans will be spared the shame of having their nation stigmatized as a land of cheats and swindlers." A Horrible Disaster. On the mor ning of Nov. 2fst, a horrible accident oc curred on the Cincirmatti, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad. While the passenger train was waiting at Lockland for an extra freight train to switch off, a freight train following ran into the rear of the express train, rour ladies named Morgan, sisters. from New Orleans, and Charles Jackson, of Boston, were killed, and some twenty oth ers were more or less injured. One Miss Morgan had her head completely cut off, and another her entrails torn out. After the accident the cars caueht fire, and hut for this occurrence it is likely the lives of an, except the two above named, might have been saved Mr. Jackson having lost his life in endeavoring tn saro th lmlioo The- remains of the dead were removed to fcpnng Lrrove Vault, at Cincinnati, where they await the order of their friends. What an essay could be written upon the point mat it tne men wno now control Del aware, Kentucky, and Maryland, had their choice, they Would prefer Jefferson Davis to reneral- urant tor .President, and deliber ately repudiate the national debt, unless the rebel debt were added to it, "or the ' rebels paid tor their slaves ! And net everv South ern State but Tennessee and West Virginia icouui be exactly like these but for the Kad- icai-si Adding to them the states which the Copperheads- have carried in the late elections, you would soon have a party that would make every tyrant in the world shout for joy.

Both Houses of the Fortieth Congress re-assembled at 12 o'clock, on Thursday. Nov. 2tsi. pursu ant to adjournment in July. There was a largo attendance of visitors and spectators, and the gal leries were filled long before the hour of meeti ng. The expectation of the presentation of the im peachment report in the Bouse especially attrac ted many to that branch. The moment the journal was read in the House, the Democrats through Mr. Brooks, of New York, and Mr. Eldridge. of Wisconsin, oljected to tie newly elected Tennessee delegation being sworn in. on the ground that some of them were dis loyal. The latter addressed the House for an hour, giving specific details of his reasons and facts as applied to each member. A running de bate followed for three hours, when the House fi nally voted to admit all the delegation but Butler of the First Tennessee District, whose credentials were refered to the Committee on Election for investigation into the charge of disloyalty prefer red against him. The rest of the delegation were sworn in. The introduction of a bill in the House of Rep resentatives repealing the law under which the currency may be (and has been) contracted at the rate of four millions a month, shows what the ac tion of Congress is likely to be. For we do not ?uestion that the bill will become a law at anear y day Mr. Edmunds introduced a joint resolution de claring the faith of the Government pledged to the redemption of all the public debt in coin, ex cept where otherwise stipulated in the loan. The Senate met 12o'clock; Nearly all the Sen ators were present. Mr. Wade was on hand, ap parently none the worse of his recent mishap. al though to those who were curious on the subject he exhibited a very uly looking wound on the head, surmounted by about three inchfs of stick ing plaster. Gov. Morton was in feeble health, scarcely able to be in bis seat. Several Senators were absent. Mr Wilson introduced a resolution calling for facts and figures in possession of the Secretary of the Treasury on the repeal or the cotton tax. It was adopted. , Arrangements are being made for the meeting in Washington about the 10th of next month of persons interested in baving changes made in tne Internal Revenue laws relating to alcohol and distilled spirits. The President it is said, will not send in his an nuel message until the rognlar time in Decem ber. A large portion of the document, it is un derstood will be directed to the financial affairs ot the government. - A majority of tbeJudiciary Committee, on Mon day, reported in favor of impeaching President Johnson. Mr. Stevens will soon offer a bill for the division of Texas. It is said that Jeff Davis' counsel will object to bis trial by Judge Underwood, and that if their objections are overruled. they will withdraw from the case and leave the prisoner alone. Davis has reached Richmond. Eadical Humanity. The Radical convention of Alabama has set to work in the true spirit of benevolent reform. One of its first acts is to provide for the restoration of the property of rebel widows and orphans squandered by execu tors, administrators, and guardians, during the rebellion. Hardy's State Sentinel of the 9th of November thus explains this monstrous rebel perfidy. Here we have a picture at once of rebel inhumanity to the poor widow and orphan, and of Radical en ergy to correct the wrong and punish the wrong-doer : , , During the last two years we have had occasion to visit the probate judges' offices of forty of the sixty-two counties of the State, and we made it a point to ascertain to what extent estates had been settled with rebel paper issued by that mob to be used as money, and in every county a more, or less number ot estates had been settled in this way, and this paper tilled every pigeon hole,-drawer, desk and trunk in many of the prop ate judges' offices. The rebel Leg islature of Alabama authorized controllers of estates, whether the effects of these estates were in money or notes, to invest such ef fects in'rebel bonds, which thousands of them done ; and in many instances, after the rebellion was suppressed, these men hurried a settlement of their administrations and paid over cenfederate money. In some instances, administrators who held notes for property of estaJes would compromise with the dcbtois, let them take up the notes at reduced prices, and would then buy con federate money, and return that trash to the court as effects of estates, thus swin dling the poor, sorrowing widows and helpless orphans out of what honestly be longed to them, leaving these poor widows and helpless children penniless, while the administrator had their properly in his pocket ; and all done strictly in accordance with.aset of outlawed rebels sitting as a body to legislate for a people. We could go on and enumerate hundreds of instances where this gigantic plundering has been done ; and as proof we refer every honest man to the files in every probate judge's office in Alabama. The Tendency in the .Episcopal CncTtcn Toward Rome. The Uev. Ste phen H. Tyng, Jr., has an article in this week's Independent, in which he denlores the tendency in the Protestant Episcopal Church in this country toward the Roman Church, in language of which the reader will gain some idea f:om the following quo tation : "Every intelligent Christian must perceive that a most important crisis is ap proaching in the Episcopal Church. The anxieties of all lovers of Protestant truth are aroused lest this venerable communion should again be betrayed to its pre-Refor-mation foes. The steady advance of Trac tarian doctrine, the unresisted develop ment of Ritualistic Reformed churches, and the manifest tendencies toward some sort of intercommunion with the Greek, if not the Roman, church all these facts combine to produce doubtfulness among those within the dear old Protestant Episcopal church. A year more will develop certain features ot their system, which are not now so con cealed as they fancy, and which will demon strate to Protestant Christendom which way these men are facing.

Sherman addressed the "So ciety of the Army of the Tennessee," at its annual meeting in St. Louis, on Wednes day, Nov. 13th, 1867, from which we ex tract the following passages: . I have often been asked by my fellow sol diers, when troubled by the reports of the disturbed condition of things at the South, whether after all our labors had not been in vain? Whether we might not again be cal led onto repeat the scenes ot 1863 and 1864. ? Or whether the rebels, defeated in battle, might not in the hur'y-burly of time and politics, regain their "lost cause" and lost f;ride ? . On these points I feel no great solicitude, but whether I can convey to your minds the same conviction I will not aay. Histo ry rarely goes backward, and events in the past are usually as real as the granite rock on which we stand. Surely no men ever had a more glorious cause than we. And never, in my judgment, did war bO completely fulfil its natural office. As early as 1761, an hundred years before our civil war, Virginia, under the influence of Richard Henry Lee, attempted to stop the importation of slaves by a prohibitory duty, but her action was vetoed in Eng land. In South Carolina a similar attempt was made, with a like-result. In Georgia General Oglethorpe began, his colony tor the express purpose of limiting the exten sion of slavery in that direction. Still la teral the time of our revolutionary war, the sentiment opposed to the institution of sla very was nearly universal, so much so that the slave trade was prohibited after 180S, and the word slave was not writ tea at all in our Constitution. , Slavery would, surely have been extin guished in this country by a gradual and natural process, and we might have been spared our civil war, hud not other causes come into play'. It was found that the soil an"d climate of the Sbut hern States were ad mirably adapted to the growth of cotton and had much to do in fastening slavery up on us as a people, and should have a just share in the responsibility for its baneful result. Under these influences cotton be came a power in the land. It was proud, arrogant and claimed to be king. It dicta ted its terms and threatend war unless its imperious demands were granted. It claim ed the right to go where it pleased and to extend itself over lands.such as Kansas and California, not adapted to it or slave labor at all ; and at last it rebelled and set up a government of its own, whose very corner stones were cotton and slavery. Nothing on earth could jfistify such a rebellion, and I only mention these facts in the past to show that others than the people of the South were partially responsible, and should share the natural consequences of their owrr acts. If slavery was the real cause of our' civil war, or even the pretext for it, and if chil dren must inherit the sin ot their fathers, even to the third and fourth generation, then none of us who trace our rights back to the earlier days of this Republic, can es cape this mathematical and philosophical conclusion. We of the North have to mourn the loss of fathers, brothers, sons and friends, and are burdened with a.vast National debt, binding on us in fact, in law and in lioncr, never, I hope, to be questioned by any hoG orable man in America till every cent is paid. Look to the South, and you who went with me through that land can best say if tl ey too have not been fearfully punished. Mourning in every house-hold, desolation written in broad characters across the whole face of their country, cities in ashes and fields laid waste, their commerce gone, their system of labor annihilated and destroyed. Ruin, poverty and distress everywhere, and now pestilence adding the very cap-sheaf to their stock of misery ; her proud men beg ging for pardon and appealing for permis sion to raise food for their children, her five millions of slaves free, and their value lot to their former masters forever. How any Southern gentleman, with these facts plain and palpable, everywhere staring him in the face, and recorded forever in the book of history, can stiW boast of his "Lost Cause," or speak of it in language other than of shame and sorrow, pa-ses my understand ing, and instead of being revived I know that their Lost Cause will sink deeper and deeper into infamy as time more keenly probes its hidden mysteries and reveal; them to the light of the day. Now that slavery is pone, and cone forev er.with its unhappy wrecks left behind, and all danger is past, if any set of men again appeal to war when thev have courts to se cure their rights and redress their wrones. I would trust our national destiny again to those grana old national laws which raised our country through the lortir tedious vassa lage of colonization ; which carried us safely through the ordeal ot our Revolutionary war ; led our conquering army ro the gates of Mexico in 1847, and has borne us glori ously through four years of as hard war as ever tested the manhood of any people. With our population increasing thirty1 three percent every ten rears, with our na tional wealth developing in even a greater raito ; witn our irontiers pushing back in ev ery direction ; with farms and villages and cities rapidly covering our vast national do main : with mines of gold and silver and iron and coal pouring out wealth faster than ever did the cotton fields of the South, with forty thousand miles of railroads can any one doubt our present strength, or calculate our future destiny? If our friends at the South will heartily and cheerlully join with us in our future course, I, for one, would welcome them back, cur equals, but not our superiors, and lend them a helping hand. But, if like spoiled children, they will cling to the dead past and shut tneir eyes to the coming future, 1 would only call their attention to the wave of emigration that has swept over our land from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and must soon turn back and flow South. They may oppose, but their opposition will be as vain as it was for them to try to stop the Army of the Tennessee which swept the length and breadth of their land. The next war of Northern invasion will not desolate their land, but will fructify. and regenerate it. The Susquehanna and Cheilango rivers at Binghampton, N. V.were entirely frozen over during Monday night the most rapid freezing known in several years. An experienced Pennsylvania State Sen ator has had his pockets extensively deep ened in expectation of his sojourn in Har The Republican Policy. Harper' a Weekly is always sound and sensible in its views of National and Repub lican policy.- As a journal, that paper has accomplished much good work for the cause of the country, and it3 words, od all sub jects relating to politics, are always full of weight and reason, bpeakmg ot tha Ke publican Policy, the Weekly says that the policy of reconstruction is already declared, and it is in operation. Its fundamental principles is the consent of the governed, expressed in the usual American manner, by the voice of the majority. A certain num ber of the governed are to have no vote be cause of conspiciou3 perjury and rebellion ; but the disability is to be removed at any time by Congress. This policy cannot be revoked without national dishonor and dan ger. Side issues may and should be drop ped. Legislation should be calm and judi cious, lightening the public burden, and looking to immediate harmony. A narrow and fierce leadership should be promptly and plainly repudiated. But the policy of restoration, founded on equity and common sense, must be maintained. That is not extravagant, nor fanatical, nor extreme. It recognizes civil government upon the only acknowledged basis of a popular system. Just &e strenuously as the Republican party opposed. the extension of slavery into free territory, which was the paramount, issue of I860, must it insist upon equal rights as the corner-stone of reconstruction, which is thqjara mount issue of 1867. If the coun try is not ripe for it, it is a profound misfor tune. But our duty is none the less plain. The country was not ready for a policy of non-extension in 1836. But the Republi can party did not feel that it must therefore relinquish its faith and policy. Had it done so, nothing could have saved the Uni ted States from becoming a vast fclave em pire. If, in the present situation, the party should abandon its national policy, it yields to wh it? To a policy which restores the Southern States to the unqualified control of the most disaffected element of the pop ulation, disfranchises the freedmen, and re pudiates the debt. The approval of such a policy by the country would be the con demnation of the war,- and of the American doctrine of liberty and government We have the most unshaken confidence trt the good sense of the American people, and therefore we do not suppose that tbey mean to write "fool" upon the brow of ev ery supporter' of the war, trnd upon the nead-stone of every dead Union Sol lier. ww A Monstrous1 Fevrd-.
