WHY THE REBELLION CoLLAPsEp.-
There is truth in this statement of the
Mobile News:
"The South is not only overcome, but
has overcome itself in its own gigantic
efforts; it has not only been conquered,
but it is exhausted, attenuated, and pant
ing for life's breath. Its spirit is gone and
its strength is wasted; it does not even
nourish the rancorous and vindictive feel
ings which usually accompany defeat, for
it has hardly the consciousness of defeat.
Like Greece, it may be said of it
Enough, no foreign foe could qucll
Thy soul till Of itself il fell"
''Tt is impossible for any souiherner to
trace the precise time when he was con-
quered. No Waterloo, no Pultaw marks
his fall; no. A few insignificant skir-
mishees, the convulsive and spasmodic eff
forts of a hopeless conflict, the last throes
of dying giant, and the light which
had so long vacillated and hickered
sank back into darkn ess, leaving the
enemy himself in utte,. surprise at his
easy victory. 1t is this almost gentle
death which contribut ed so much to the
prompt reconciliation between the two
sections The great conflicts at Sharps-
burg, Gettysburg and Shiloh had long
been forgotten, and the southern warrior
stood sullenly prepared for the worst,
ready to die, but knowing his death
would not save the cause Then, when
by an intelligent policy the great leader of
this nation reopened to them the fold of
the Union they stepped in without regret,
as well as without exultation ofjoy-they
had long exp, cted it."

PARDoNs.-The rush of par Ion seek
ers to to Washington has abated, and
there were few at the White II ouse on
Monday. There is no doubt but the par
don brokers have been doing thriving
business. Some of the rich rebels have
paid hands ONE sums to their pardon pa
pers put through promptly, and it is in
simulated Il lat some Of the presidents off
cial household have not been able to keen
their hanc entirely clean. Some time
ago the pr esident suspended the work of
pardoning for a week in order to break
up this corrupt business, but it is probab-
ly impossible for him to prevent it alto
gether unless he takes the whole matter
into his hands, for which he has neither
time nor strength. The insinuation put
forth in some quarters that the president
himself has pecuniary interest in the
pardon interest in the pardon brokerage
is simply infamous

- The October elections, so far as
heard from, have gone very favorable to
the Union party. Pennsylvania gives
about $4,000 majority, and Ohio about
$4,000. In the city of Newark, N. j.,
at local election, the Unionists made a
gain of 2,400 over last year, which gives
a good deal of hope that this benighted
State may be redeemed this year. The
Iowa election resulted in a Republican
triumph. Nebraska had state election
on Tuesday, but the result is not learned.
California has gone strong Republican.

- 1t is proposed 10 bring the southern
States 10 terms on the suffrage question,
by making the voting population the ba-
sis of representative. There is manifest
injustice in giving to the south political
power based on population, which, in
itself, has no political weight, and there
can be no doubt that such an arrange
ment would give to southern politicians
new views on the subject of suffrage, and
hasten the time when the blacks will be
be entranchized. 1t is SAID:
The next movement will be for an
amendment to the constitution 10 appOr-
ton representatives to Congress according
TO the voting population, and this will
certainly prevail, because everybody sees
that there is no other means Of equal
izing representation and preventing the
southern states from holding a large ex-
ress of power in the government. No
party will dare oppose this amendment,
and its adoption and reference to the
states should be one Of the first acts OF
the next Congress. This amendment
adopted, we shall soon see a party organ
lied in the southern states for equal suff
rage, and it will be very likely 10 be car
ricd in some of them quite us soon as tt
Ia in Connecticut.
Perhaps this will be wise movement
but there is another side to that question.
Such ali arrangement would at once pro-
duce general scramble to attain poiti
cal weight in the states, by the manu-
facture of voting material, from every
source. Wise men, generally, when not
blinded by motives of present interest
concur in the opinion that the greatest
danger to our institutions lies in our
alarming tendency to extreme democracy.
Hut such q measure as this would give
us such an impetus in that direction as
would soon leave little to be accomplished
in the matter Of removing all restriction
TO voting. No educational, or other
test, would again be spoken Of, and such
as exist would he repealed before the next
census is taken. We are not disposed to
argue against giving the ballot to women.
but with such system, argument
Of that kind would be as little regarded
as the ''idle wind" Every woman in
the country would speedily be reckoned
with the ''votng population" We
should hear of no more shiploads Of
"anxious and aimless'' votirg population
sent from Massachusetts, to the Pacific
coast. They would all be needed al
home to maintain the political influence
of that state. And then, we should
have fierce howl from the Pacific ant
Rocky mountain states, Where mer
abound and women do not, against The
injustice of giving such undue weight tt

Mr. Kenneth Raynor of North Carroll
ma, one of the. few prominent southcrners
who have kept aloof from the rebellion,
has written u letter, to which allusion has
already been made, favoring the separa-
ton of the white and black races in this
country. He declares that if separation
is not made, the southern states will, in
ten years, relapse INTO barbarism, AMI as
serts that the labor Of the black race can
not be made available in the South. In
North Carolina, he says, public opinion
is unanimously in favor Of separation,
and the same view is gaining strength
rapidly over the South. lie also says
there will not be two hundred bales OF
cotton grown in North Carolina the pres
ent year.

The Grand List of the State Is about
one million Of dollars, and tax of fifty
cents on the dollar will probably raise
money sufficient TO cover the current liza
bilities OF the year.
We are not to forget, however, that
we have large funded debt, winch will
be burthensone to u.eet, If none of it is
provided for before it falls due. The
close Of the war AMI the return of our
soldiers, has greatly diminished our cur
rent expenses, and at the same time our
agricultural, and all other industrial
interests of the State, were never
in Il more prosperous and healthy con Ii,
ton and | feel confident that any
amount of taxation demanded by the best
interest Of the State, will be met cheer
fuzzy by the people, and its payment will
not DC fel, as burthcnSome.
The Treasurer estimates that State
tax o. sixtyfive cents ON the grand list of
this year, would raise Sl50,000 above
the current expenditure. to be applied in
purchasingin outstanding State Bonds,
and for the next six years tax
of forty cents on the dollar of the grand
list. yearly, will raise a sum sufficient to
meet the current expenses of the State,
and leave yearly surplus of $50, 900
TO be used in buying the Sta,e Bonds as
they came into market. Should this be
done TO that extent, in 1871 but $751;
GEO Of our funded debt will remain I'M
paid; sum that can easily be provided
Tor AS the bonds fall due.
Our State Bonds are now selling at n
discount of four or five per cent, and
should gold continue TO command pre-
MUM, as 1t will be likely to do yet for a
considerable time yet to come, this, with
the fact that the general Government and
most OF the States are paying higher
rate ofinterest than is paid on our bonds,
will probably depress their market value
to a still lower point If the State is in
funds to 20 into the market as purchas-
er with Others, it will be able TO make pos
tive gain on its purchases, beside stop
ping the accruing interest.
Connected with this subject of raising
money by taxation. we are to remember
that all our property, no matter by what
, name called, except such as is expressly
exempted by positive law, should bear its
equal taxation. If or laws produce
that result now, then ali is well on that
score; but it they fail to accomplish that
end, your scrutiny should lead you to their
proper amendment.

SALARIES AND FEES.

by our present law the States Attor-
neys Of the several counties are salaried
officers Compensation in this mode is
made more to depend upon the population
of the several counties than on the labor
done and service rendered TO the State /;
and ! submit to your judgment whether
this mode has not a natural tendency to
diminish watchfulness over the public in
terest by those officers. As far as my
own personal observation extends am
induced to believe that crime now is not
so thoroughly ferreted out, and the Grim
inal so certainly brought to punishment,
as when these officers were paid for what
they did and for nothing more. If this
be the fact, cur present law is defective

JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

Permit me, gentlemen, to call your at
tentjon to that class of The rising genera
1iuu denominated juvenile offenders. This
Class embraces children OF both sexes, and
their number is sensibly on the increase.
To reform such, while they are undergo
ing restraint as punishment, should be
our unceasing endeavor. Very few crimes
committed by this class are punished by
confinement in the state prison, and though
confinement there is somewhat reforma-
tory, yet the stigma of having been in
the state prison is almost forever inefface-
able. Far the greater number of juven.
lie offenders are, of necessity, punished
by confinement in the county jails. where
they are most generally associated with
old and hardened criminals, who at once
devote themselves to teaching those chill
dren the art and mysteries of crime; so
that, when discharged, instead of being
reformed, they are more likely to be thor
oughly corrupted.
