would be much relieved, had this organization
and election already taken place

nea. Governor Bramlette, Of Kentucky,
whose mind has been 80 difficult to train in
modern views Of Government, has at length,
though slow to learn, made considerable pro-
gress in the science of governing atiff neck
people: though heretofore so hostile both to
President Lincolns Emancipation Proclama-
ton and the action Of Congress on the sub
ject of an amendment to the Constitution, he
has at length become party, and it is hoped,
an honest convert in favor of both these i'm
portant and indispensable measures; we now
have strong hopes that through the action OF
the incoming Legislature about to be elected,
that Kentucky will wheel into the Union line,
and exert herself in behalf Of these great
measures, which are indispensable to the
welfare and happiness not only of his
own State, but of the Union. In this connec'
ton, though of. less consequence, we think il
proper to refer to the convictions which have
also been working upon the mind of Govern.
or Magofiin, the late Executive Of this State,
whom it will be recollected on the breaking
out of this rebellion was not only first among
rebels, but the most ardent in favor of sepa
ration and Of slavery: at that time the Gov
ernor was believer in the divine right Of in.
voluntary scrvitude, and abounded in Scrip
tural quotations as long as the moral law in
proof of his position; now however he has
become convert to the views essential to the
reconstruction of society in the late Slave
States, and we believe with equal zeal is Ia
boring conjointly with Governor Bramlette in
the proper rc.cstablishment of South society
this change so hopeless at one time, we art
pleased to witness, and welcome with much
satisfaction We believe the time is not re
mote when in all the matters of the Govern
ment, the utmost harmony will prevail among
all the States of the Union happy change
and we pray God that it may be speedy in it,
necessary accomplishments.

CONTRACTS WITH FREEDMEN.
The Tribune's Washington special says
General Howard, of the Freedmen's Bureau
altogether disapproves Of the action Of Capt
Bryant, sub-oficer Of his Department in Geor
gia, in fixing the price of colored labor, and
telegraphed him to this effect upon
learning the facts in the case. To guard
against the recurrence of similar proceedings
on the part Of his Assistant Commissioners
General Howard at once issued circular let
ter, stating that he felt disinclined to fix the
rate of compensation in all cases, and recon
mended that they simply approve of all con
tracts between employer and employe, being
careful always to see that the latter received
wages commensurate with the labor performed

Securing the Public Debt.

We observe among the proceedings of
Congress, Il resolution offered by Mr.. Ran
dali, of Kentucky, which was adopted
yeas 1862, nays Ito the purport that ''the
public debt created during the late rebel
lion was contracted on the faith and honor
of the nation; that it is sacred and invio-
late, and must and ought To be paid, prin-
cipal and interest, and any attempt to re-
pudiate, or in any mannnr to impair said
debt, should be universally discomtenanced
by the people, and promptly rejected by
Congress If proposed"
Ii is to be feared that the devil has been
whispering TO Mr. Randall, who is an in
dividual of no remarkable stabilty-that
he is in danger of becoming repudatOr.
This is the Kind of tribute which men pay
to their own integrity when they begin to
lose confidence in it; sort of obituary
notice, bearing testimony to virtues upon
the point of dissolution.
We hope that the public creditors-espe-
cially those who remember the resolution
several years ago passed with such unanim-
ity by the same body, that this war is not
waged for the abolition of slavery. but
solely for the preservation of the Union,
and what followed twill take great cOur-
age from this solemn pledge Of our National
Legislature, and that our public securities
viii go up accordingly. The thing most to
be wondered at, now that swearing is so
much in fashion, is that the mover of the
resolution did not propose to put the mem
bers of Congress under oath never to vote
for reputation. This would have fixed
things beyond a peradventure.-C Cincinnati

white and 1874 black natives; 32S57 Irish /;
1888 Germans; 2,Sl0 English; 90l Scotch
and $50 French were arrested. The crimes
against the person were greatly in excess OF
those against property. OF the whole 6S,-

over eleven thousand. The largest number
of the ARRESTED were between 80 and 40
The married were about 10000, and the

able how large number of them could

GreenbacIxs aud High Prices.


The impression is gaining ground that
Congress, in compliance with recomen-
dation of the Secretary of the Treasury,
win provide for gradual and steady fund.-
ing of the floating debt and a regular
withdrawal of greenbacks, with view of
contracting as rapidly as possible the Ma
tional Bank issues. This is result gencr-
ally desired, as it is conceded that the pres
ent high prices Of all articles issOwing to
thG inflated currency. During the war the
opinion was expressed that when the con-
test ceased prices would be reduced. But
the war has terminated, and there is no re-
duction.
Few expected that at the end of n season
unusually productive, and in the midst of
peace, they would be compelled to pay
higher prices for all articles used in the
family than they paid during the war, when
gold was at two hundred and fifty, and
rising. But they are compelled TO pay
higher for everything, and, as a matter OF
course, will sustain any movement calcu-
lated to bring figures to a legitimate
standard.
The Detroit Free Press, in appealing to
the business and working men of the nation
to join in compelling Congress to strike at
the root Of the evil, and remove the prin-
cipal cause of the high prices, the imitation
of the currency. says:
''lf the people who are affected by these
prices Will bat unite in saying the word,
Congress will not dare to refuse, early in
the session A rpInpye thig Initiation tyhigh
is the heaviest of all our taxes. Not only
does it keep up prices, but by its uncer-
tainty and fluctuations in the price of gold
1t renders il impossible to do business with
certainty-the margin of uncertainty must
always be against the consummer, and the
superabundauce of currency stimulates
speculation and compels every man to
charge an eXorbitant profit in self-defense.
Congress can cure this. Congress can con-
tract currency till it and gold assimilatc in
value Congress can restore specie paw
ments; and when Congress does this it will
accomplish all that we can ever again hope
TO see done, and that is not to get back TO
old prices, but to restore the equilibrium
between wages and living. Therefore
what we really want is a return to specie
standard, with reduction of circulation to
the needs of business-when we will again
realize the comfort, SO well known of old,
called good times" and mankind can
Judge at the commencement of the year
how he will come out If he pursues Il
certain COURSE"
These are sound views. SO long as the
state of our currency compels us to pay
excessive prices for all articles of home
consumption we shall be shut out from
equal competition in the markets of the
world. The development of the vast re-
sources of the country is being seriously
retarded by the effects of an inflated cur
rency. Congress, at an early day, should
apply the remedy.

The LITTLE FALLS TRAGEDY.-We yes
terday printed the details of the bloody
tragedy at Little Falls, In which a Mr.. Wal
radt, wife and daughter were slaughtered.
A coroner's jury has investigated the affair.
Proceeding TO the chamber where the
body of Mr.. Walradt had been discovered,
a jug stained with blood and partially filled
with liquor was found i'm one corner of the
room. In the mean time, the money, checks
and other valuables had been discovered in
the house in an undisturbed situation, and
the jurors were forced TO the conclusion
that in fit of temporary insanity, proba-
bly, induced by indulgence in liquor, Daniel
Walradt had dragged both wife and daugh-
ter from their beds and murdered them In
the inhuman manner which was described
by the Utica Observer yesterday.
/ Probably, iniuriated at the realization OF
I the deed he had committed or maddened
4 by liquor, he had, with the cunning char
aeteristic of am insane man, arranged his
own death in the manner we have described
The funeral took place yesterday morning.
The occurrence of the tragedy had caused
immense excitement in Ilerkimer County,
and the funeral of the deceased family was
largely attended.-Rochester IN. ~ Union.
