ton on their part. They feel that Il Is no
longer necessary TO disguise the truth, and at
last they show symptoms OF alarm, acknowl-
edging that the South must be indeed weak,
and unable to resist the steady tread and
onward advance Of columns such as those
which SHERMAN has so successfully led to
the Atlantic coast. This Is fully confirmed
by the strong sentiment arising in tho minds
Of many Southern men in favor Of arming tho
negroes, and sending them into ;he field. This
is the dernier ressort-the last resource 10
which they can apply for men. No reasonable
man can suppose that DAVIS would ever
consent. or listen for q moment, TO any such
proposition, did he not feel that the Rebellion
had reached the point when no more troops
for its support could be raised except from
the slave population. In his dire extremity
he Is compelled to look 20 them for help, or
else succumb at once. The South is drained
Of It's white fighting mon, and there are no
more to oil up the depleted and falling ranks
Of the Rebel army.
But this last proposition is perilouI one.
The slaves Of the South are men long held in
bondage, and long signing Tor the day That
shall deliver them from thralldom. Once put
into the field, their officers will discover that
little reliance can be placed in them as sol
diers, and it would require at least one white
veteran regiment to keep a slave regiment up
to the mark. The offer Of freedom viii have
no effect upon their ambition to be free. They
know that with the success OF the Union arms
they gain their freedom without lighting for

II DAVIS & Co. want to end the war al short
notice in behalf Of the Union, let them by all
means arm their slaves, and the thing will

THE SIXTEENTU CONGREssIONAL
DIsTRtCT DIFFICULTIES.

The difficulties involved In the Congress
sional contest in the Sixteenth District app
pear to be somewhat complicated. Hon. A.
II. CoTFRoTH, Democrat, and General VIII
LIAM II. KooNrz, Republican, ran for Con.
gress last October, and claim to have received
a majority Of legal votes. Neither Oft the two
returns made to the Secretary Of the Com
monwealth has been signed by all the Election
Judges. The majority of the Board consists
of Democratic Return Judges, whose decision
that number of soldiers votes should not
be coun.ed in from Fulton and Bedford
counties, notwithstanding the votes wer5
regularly returned to the offices Of the differ
ent prothonotarip5, IS the pivot upon which
The real difficulty turns. General KooNrz
il cirding the army votes rejected by the
DtnoUa ic Return Judges, has majority Of
sixty-oight. With the facts with respect to
the army votes, however, the decision Of the
Governor has nothing at all to do. His place
was merely to decide which ofthe two returns
before him was legal. The mltter was re-
terred TO Attorney-Goneral MEREDITH, who
decided that both the returns were illegal.
Neither KOOSrz nor COEFRoru therefore Is
declared by the Governor elected, aud upon
Congress, therefore, the final resolution Of the
subject devolves.
The opinion Of Attorney-Generll MERE
DITH is prelaced by minute detail OF the
facts In his statement of the law he remarks
that in the present instance It happens, for
the first time, it is believed, that two different
bodies of men, each claiming to be the Board
Of District Return Judges, present papers
which they style returns OF the election. He
reviews the illegality of KooNrz's and of
CoFFRoTH's returns, and at the conclusion Of
his opinion remarks;- -
"But as the Governor cannot, If satisfied that
the Ofense has been committed, thrus. the
offender into the penitcniary, and thus usurp he
power Of judiciary tribunals, so neither can be
constitute himself q judge Of the election, and
thus usuTp The power Of the House Of II present4-
tives, which is the proper tribunal n udiudiCa5e
omit. He hasuo more right TO put votes ntO Iue
county returns than the county judges OF elec.
tOns had 10 put them out, or to treat as vAii
the acts of "A seeding majority OF the county
judges Of election, than ne would have to treat
as the act Of the House a bill emanatinS from
simi ar seeding minority Of that body. HI duty
Is uot 10 lend himself 70 revolutionary action of
any kind. He is 70 preserve order, not TO abst
confusion. He is to OBEY the act Of Assembly,
and as no returns have been presented, such rs
that ect authorizes him to base his proclamation
upon. am Of opinion that he has no legal course
but % state that fact as his reason for not deClar
ing the name of any person 20 have been returned
as elected in the Sixteenth Congressional Dis
tricf."

Tho Letter OF SIuIIer's FatheF.

The letter written by Muller, the recently exc
cuted murderer, to his father, asking the paterna
blessing, has been published. The reply which
reached Muller two days before his execution,
was very brief, and was wOrded as follows.-
"UHAPPY soE We received your letter on the 9th OF
November, but alas how deep have you fallen You ask
as 70 forgive you We do forgive you, and II you are guy

"YOUR UHHAPFT FATHER-
"LANGEN DEAnACu, November D."
The extreme breyity Of the letter, in compa
rison with the length Of that OF the son 70 which
was a reply, and its general tone, produced an
impression on the minds of the sherifis and tho
authorities at NeWgats AZ the time, that the con-

ard disorder, in tho belief that whore all
Is apparently In process Of revolution,
they may rise to the surface, like the dregs of
seething cauldron. We think therefore,
that any access of criminals and crime that
may be discovered in the cities Of the country
ought not TO be ascribed TO the demorallzing
influence Of the war on our own people, but
rather to the influx Of set Of professional
rascals, who have elsewhere graduated in their
calling, and have temporarily come hither to
practise It, under what they suppose to be
favorable circumstances.
At all events, any asccrtaincd growth of
crime among us should be mot by correspond
ing increase OF vigilance on the part of the
police, and severity in the administration Of
criminal law. All law-brealcrs, whether native
or foreign, should be taught by the authori-
ties that crime here has no sanctuary, and
that this country Is not a field in.which 10 can
flourish in impunity. Cours and juries, thera-
fore, have an important work to do at This
crisis, and they should perform it punctiliously
for the sake OF private security and public
order. We would not, Of course, counsel un-
reasonable rigor in the d5pensation ofiusiice /;
but the conditions of the time equally forbid
the exercise of a weak judicial clemency.

WEAKNESS OF THE REnELLrov.

Nothing that has transpired since the Re
beluOn commenced has gone further to prove
the weakness OF the seeded States than the
triumphant march of SHERMAN through
Georgia. 1t establishes the fact that the
Rebels are unable TO check the progress of a
Union army pushing It's way through the Cot
ION States. When SHERMAN's movement
was finally understood at Richmond the Rebel
papers spoke confidently of the ability which
Georgia In herself had at command 10 make
nus expedition end in disaster. Day after day
