The Secretary Of State telegraphs to Gov.
Perry OF South Carolina that he is TO continue
to exercise the duties OF Provisional Governor
until relieved by special order from the Prri-
dent The Secretary also expresses the regret
OF the President that neither the Convention
nor the Legislature Of that state have declared
the Rebel debt to be Illegal, and that the
state seems to decline 10 ratiiy the Const-
tutional Amendment aboli-hing Slavery. This,
and the reply Of the Pre- idcnt 10 the North Car
olina delegates, seem to indicate very clearly
that there is to he no hurry in admitting the

the Union, and that they viii be kept under

The ripe result of the election has complete
and a symmetrical beauty which it is soothing
to contemplate. There never was q canvass in
which the issues were more plainly, candidly
and courageously presented, and the verdict IS
Of proportionate value. 1t is a verdict in favor
of Liberty, of Law, of Order, Of Justice and Of
Humanity. Had the popular intelligence been
less acute, and the popular conscience less SEN
sitive, the State might have been scared out Of
all reason and equity, and, by different deter
mination, dsastrouSly affected the cause OF
rational reconstruction throughout the nation.
The telegraph will carry cold comfort to the
unregenerate maligDants of the late "Confed-

wide world for them to look for sub
stantial aid, or even for shadowy sympathy.
The position is not pleasant one, but it will
do them good, as st. Paul was converted by

that the coalition between the Copperheads OF
New-York and the sOre.heads OF the South is
