The tone Of the Southern press on tue
ConEcription law just passed by the Rebel
Congress, shows The existence Ct alarm at
it's consequence The law is sweeping in its
character. All the able-bodled men in the
con{tderacy are to be forced into the army,
and there is to be no more waiting for volan-
tcers OF re- enlistment5. The idlers, reluctant
to 60 into the service, are constrained to 60.
The soldiers who hare served out their peri
DDS Of enlistment ara forced to continue In
the field. The Memphis Aralanche, of the
18th, says:
There will be many, very many, doubtless,
who will shrek In violent tfepldation IS to
its enornity. Pandora's box couldn't hold a
patching to it! Destruction Of the liberties
Of the people, encroaching upon States'
rights, oppression: especially to the soldier
months, VAS there ever such an enormity, a
monster in its very inception, forced down
the throais Of a people claiming to be free,
and now battling for their Independence. :.
It will sweep from our street corners aud
other public lonnging placea, the meddlera
brave soldiers passing through the streets oi
our cities, or by railroad stations, where the
q1adnuncs are wont to assemble. It will hold
bound to military service all alike, between
the prescribed ages.
Let no obstacle be raised to impede it. Il

and suicidal to resist it. Who would deaert

Colored Property-Holdcrs In the Dis.
tr1ct OF Columbia.


The report Of Mr. Kennedy, Superintendent
Of the Census Bureau, relative to the colored
property holders Of the District Of Columbia,
does them the greatest injustice. He says:
''Tle real estate is owned BY sos persons,
"aycragiDg $1,a05 each. The real and per-
"sonal property is owned by ,175 persons,
"ayeraging s640 each. The total free colored
sspopulation in the District Of Columbia is
"11,131. The number of free
"colored males over 20 years Of age is {, ,4s7.''
After recapulating the numbers Who own
property valued at or over certain specified
sums, he concludes with the statement,
"9, $50 return no property" This is true on
its face, bnt grossly falsc in the idea which it
CONVEYS. The {, ,956 other persons arc women
and childrcn-n1embers Of families. The head
Of the family is put down as a"property-
holder" and his wife and eight children are
returned rs nine other persons owning no
property! This is q dirty trick Of q Buchanan
office holder retained by Republican Admin
istration, whose morbid hatred Of free negroes
impcls him to diEtort the truth in such way
as to leave the impression on the mind OF the
reader that four fifthA Of the free colored peo-
pie in Washington are penniless panpers, when
the very reverse is the truth. In that very
! District Of Columbia the ratio Of white prop
crty-holders to the gross white population is
smaller by almost one half Tim in the case Of
the colored people, who arc thus stigmatizcd
as psupers. The free blacks have thriVed,
| supported themselves and Accumulated a large
amount Of property by industry aud frugality
in spite Of all the prosecutions and oppres
sions they have suffered, and all the restriction
fastened upon them by the SlAzeocracy fo1
sixty years. They have not only provided
their OWL support but have purchased the
freedom of hundreds Of their enslaved rela
tires,

A Democratic Senator Of the United
States, writing to friend in this city, (also
a Democrat,} who had furnished him copy
Of our new Constitution, says: "It may
abe an improvement On the old for all TINT
HIhow to the contrary, but it is not such
an instrument as I would have advised,
anor can have high opinion Of the legal
"acumon Of the men who made it. The
sspeople Of Illinois are alone to be satisfied,
"however, but 1t seems to me they will
"only adopt the new as q choice Of evils
"and because the old IS 50 much more de-
ssfectiye. It vas unfortunate that you had
"not better talent IN the Conveution..''
We commend this opinion to the people
Of OUT Stats as Of one wholly unprejudiced
and impartial, and who has nothing to
gain or to hope for in any party benefits
that may accrue under the Constitution.
We may not use the name Of the writer,
but it is enough to know that he is cs-
teemed among the best lawyers Of his
State, and has had long and honorable
career in the Senate. Can any fair man
come to another conclusion than this?

Last Monday evening the colored people
Of Chicago held meeting for The purpose
Of giving an expression Of thauks and grat-
itude for the Act Of Emancipation in the
ed by a body Of men superior in point Of
Intelligence and morality to any Of the pro-
slavery gatherings IN that city since the war
began. The matter Of cmigration Was brought
up by some incidental allusion to the uutair
means used to retard emancipation; but IS
and as the general feeling xas oi sladness
and coDEratulatlon, It received merely pass
ing notice But this fact gives additional
weight to the testimony Of these glad- hearted
people: In the preamble To the resolutions
which they adopted, they say: "An impress
that in the event Of emancipation the influx
Of freed slaEes to the North Would be great"
and they "repel" the idea as : duty, which,
they declare, ave owe to ourselves and our
race" They declare "that they are now, and
ever hare bet y. loyal to. the Federal Govern

Jet In tbs name Of q common humanity, they
Thank our soldiers for their noble deeds.

cd the News OF the Chicago Election
Iolfef.

From the Joliet True Democrat, a6th.
On last Friday evening, some Of our rabid
pro-slayery Democrats, elAted By the recent
triumph Of their party in Chicago, exhibited
their reasonable Instincts BY placing au OBJ
scene efbgy, labeled "Abe Lincoln" on the
Island just below the Jefferson street bridge,
one Of the most conspicuous points in the
city. Too cowardly to openly take up arms
against the Government, these Knights Of TIE
Golden Circle seek to weaken respect for the
Government In the opinion Of the Ignorant,
by vulgar caricatures Of its head-our present
noble and patriotic Chief Magistrate, as pure
and: patriotic q man as ever adorned the Pres
idential Chair.
This vulgar .caricature Is still suffered By
our city authorities to remain undfsturbcd
"a standing evidence Of their own disloJai-
ty and disregard Of the fair fame Of our
city. Strangers passing through our city
cannot fail to witness It, aud will give sad
account Of our patriotism aud morality
abroad, which cannot fail to have an injurious
effect upon our business prosperity; for that
Intelligent ands1oyal business men will seek a
home IN community where such exhibitions
Of treason and yutgazitT go unrebuked. For
the sake OF our credit as a city let it be re-
| snoYed by the city authorities.

MAKING BCAPE-G0ATS OF OUR
SOLDIERS.


Downright cowart1ice in soldiers is pun
ishable with death. But retreating before
an enemy, or even running in disorder, is
no proof Of cowardice. It is reported
that one Ohio regiment ran away at the
battle Of Shiloh, and that another
behaved badly: Both, we are told,
have been disgaced. Had the men
Of these regiments taken to their heels
in spite Of guod conduct on the part Of
their commanders, they would deserve this
harsh treatment; but when we reflect that
no precauion YVES taken against surprise
and attack that the disasters brought On
by recklessness, were aggravated by STU
pidity; that whole regiments were left to
shift for themselves hen VIC recall these
facts, the censure Of men who ran, and
the praise of officers whose misconduct
caused the panic, must seem like an at
tempt to establish the novel principal in
war, that private soldiers are to
be held responsible for bad general
ship, while bad generals are to
receive praise for. the individual
bravery Of private soldiers. On the part of
the commanders, it may be q military ne
cessity" to lay all the blame on the shou1-
ders Of their men but there can be no
"mili:ary necessity" for disbanding regi-
ments OF sending them in digrace to
pcs: duty, without at least giving
them an opportunity to retrieve thei1
character. Soldiers rarely run the second
time; but more rarely do incompetent off
.cers improve by experience. One Of Bo
naparte's regiments shamefully fed during
battle in Italy. Next day he drew the
fugityes up in line, and merely looked
sorrowfully at them and shook his head
That was enough With sobs and tear:
they besought him TO try them again. HI
did try them again, and in the next battle
they routed thrice their number of Aus
TRAN veterans Ever afterwards that regi
ment was famous for bravery. Its exam
pie inspired the whole army with cmula
tion. Disbandment would have #rough
mischief Ronapa1te was mighty In tn
SCIENCE Of human nature; and therein la.
the secret Of his power over men. II
never permitted his officers to make Of th
priyatcs scape- goats for their own nliscon
duct.

in Our own State, who, through the Interest
and excitement Of var intelligence, or the

thwerting the schemes Of Egyptian pro-
slavery politicians in the new Constitution, |
might proftably borrow zeal and earnestnes |
in the work tor its defeat from those abroad
with great anxiety lest Illinois endorse and
adopt Inc barbarisms and inhumanitics of
men who, trained for years to do the bid
ding Of negro drivers, even 1ow prefer to
protect slavery first and put its clai1ns be-
fore those Of the Union. There is no one
clause or article in the Constitution more
repugnant to humanity, or thoroughly in
famous than that which relates to the deg
radation and exclusion Of tile black race.
More is the pity, 1t IS no innovation in Hi
nois, but so long as our Black Laws came
down to us from what We were fond Of
believing less enlightened age, and were
practically dead letter, there was far less
to be said than now when in the light of
