TIE LATE REBELLIoUs sTATEs.
The Tribune's Jacksonville (Gs.) CORES
pondence says: Nothing can prevent the
happy and speed restoration OF the CIVIL
government in the late rebellions States but
the corruption of the people by political
demagogues. When the war ended by the
surrender of the rebel armies, the people
quietly acuuiesced in the cessation of hos
tllities and the abolition of the institution
of slavery. During the last four months
the politicians have racked their brains to
devise some means by which the servile
condition of the freedmen might be cOntin-
ued with all its dependencies.
The practice with many has been to
make the negroes labor, but on such terms
as that the employer would receive all the
benefit thereof. It is notorious that in this
State but few white people have COM
nenced labor since the war closed, and
that a large number of the inhabitants
have subsisted on Government rations.
The fact is, had not the freedmen lRbored,
Int little would have been done to produce
a harvest, and the coming winter would
have been 8 season of hunger and suffering.
MANY statements are made in regard 70
the idlsness of the negro, but they are gross
sxsggerations, and the object is to compel
| the Government to institute some form OF

government Of the black man, and reduce
| him as nearly as possible to his former con-
dition. In no way are the negroes rlghta
recognized, and but seldom does he hear the
expression of Wish for his elevation OF
welfare.
| MASS MEETING.
An enthusiastic mass meeting was held
at Lake City for the purpose of welcoming
Governor Marvin and listening to an address
from him. The general policy in regard x
reconstruction, and especially that OF eman
cipation, was presented to the people.
| His utterances on the latter subject are 8
plain and emphatic that some were YER
sorry that they had been slaveholdera
He taught them that the constitution 10 b
formed must secure freedom to all alike
and thas in no form would slavery ever b
