large number of unpaid: bills, many

The reasons' assigned by the revolt-i

frivolous kind• President Castro is
charged with having been unpopular(
and with using the whole influence of

THE Republican Governors of the
Southern States are certainly more lib
eral than some of the persons whom
they govern. Governor Scott,,of South
Carolina, in his recent message, recom
mends to the Legislature, as, a subject
of imperative importance, the removal
of political disabilities from the late
rebels, with a liberal freedom. At the
same tiro . ° Gov. Holdeeof North Car
olina,
is ukring upon the Legislature of
that State a similar policy, and the
Members are considering the propriety
"of petiiioning Congress to remove such
disabilities as far as may be. This,
kindness proceeds from the generosity
of "scallawags" and "cmpet-baggers.!!- - -
How much credit will they receive for
it from the ea-rebels? None.
IT IS BAD enough for the Republi:

President Grant in the great work that
is before him. And the first thing that
now seemq to be attracting the attention
of the loyal men of the land 44 the con
struction Of his Cabinet. — 7: -
Within the ran4s of the Republican
party are to be found so minty men of
ability and good standing that the task
of making the proper selectionof Cab
inet officers will not be one of easy an
ready accomplishment. For the pois
tion of Secretary of State are mention
ed the names of Messrs. Sumner,- Ban
zroft, Motley and Washburn ; for the
position'of Secretary of the Treasury
will doubtless be urged Senators Cam
eron, Morton and Sherman; and among
the names mentioned for Post- , Master
General are to be found those of Horace,
Greeley, John —W. Forney, Edward
McPherson, and J. A. J. Creswell ; the
Secretary of War, it is generally sup
posed, will i be filled either by the pretk

Gen Grant's wisdom in the selection
of Gemulds (hiring the war renders'it
almost a foregone conclusion that his
elirtice of Cabinet officers will be of the
very hest character. Indeed, the Re

confidence in his ability and wisdom.

sorely for having given ono of his aona an.

Although the Above may be but a
fancy sketch, it nevertheless 'contains
a world 4:)f truth; and-conveys - a lesson
at once useful and suggestive. The
burden of the complaint is, that while
the itnethicated sons' remained faithful

this is the natural consequence of the
_diffusion.ofedueation. : -Witlillmeiread
of - tharblee - siffeitie - Mists of ignorance
and 'p';ejudice are fast disappearing,
and stew converts are daily joining the
ranks. of the Republicans. — Nor is this
surprising: Ours is the party of pre
gross, and appeals directly to the best
sympathies of the
„voting- and intelli
gent. It advdcatesuntversal education;
the extensionTritthe right of Suffrage,'
and equal rights to kill men. It also
aims to, do aWay with old abuses,-tile
exploding of musty, prejudicial dog
tries, and substituting in their place a
just Mid liberal policy.
In this State, for the last quarter of
a century, or eVer.since the establish
ment of our noble school system, the
spread Of - liberal ideas has been rapid.
The.people have ceased to listen to the
teachings of demagogues and interested
partizans, and are gradually learning to
think and Act for themselves. It is
upon the intelligence of the people that
the Republican party depends for its
strength and supremacy., for with edu
cation come free thought and liberality
of sentiment, and the consequent down
fall of ignorance, prejudice and bigotry.
In times past the Democratic leaders
basecLtheir hopes of success upon the
ignorance of the masses, and many of
that party opposed bitterly the estab•
Tishment of free schools This was
especially true in the counties of Berks,
Luzern° and York, and to those very
counties, at this day, do the Democracy
look for their heaviest majorities—_
We might give numerous example.
of flie truth of the statement that u mom

(we mean the. poor whitrs !) received
little or no education, there always did

One of the first questions which will
(I me before Congress, says the New
York Tribune, is, whether the XlVih
Amendment has ever been legally rat
ified by_the Legislature-ef4p6t*-Fro
as to convert-the Government of that
'State from a provisional into a perma
nent one, and to , entitle its representa
tives to A seat in :Congress. The
amendment was passed ' by a body, h
large ntimber 'of )vhose members -were
disqualitieil , by the very terms of the
amendment -itself from sitting in -any
jrgisiature ; and, having` - passed it,
these same,. disq nalitied members im
mediately voted that thiyty of those.
bywhose votes the amdndment had
passed had never been lawful members
of that body, and by reason of African
blood could hold no office whatever in
the State of Georgia. If Congress re
spects' thrterms of the Fourteenth
Amendment excluding perjured Rebels I
from holding office, it' cannot allow it-
elf 'to be bound by thn• votes' of any of
this class. If - it respects the vote of
the Georgia Legislature to the effect
that colored-men- cannot-hold office in
GeOrgia, then it cannot count the votes
'of the colored members for the amend
ment and so the amendment would
be rejected by the Legislature. The
State pf, Georgia. is not `yet iu the
- Union - _, - andlts government is merely
provisional. In such case, Congress
should see that the State Constitution
should be amended so as to confer
equal .political rights on both races.
