Fate Of the Secesh Aristocracy.

Ofvengeance inflicted on@the planters Of
Alabama by the returning rebel soldiers, DR.
Hunt, formerly editor of the Buffalo Gem
mercial Adrertiser, gives the following &C
count in recent letter from Selma:
'This region, you know, is in the heart
of slaveocracy. Estates are large, lands
fertile, and the blacks constitute twothrds
of the population. 1t has entirely escaped
the horrors Of war. The poor whites were
all forced into the army. The Itch staid at
home in what were called bomb proof po-
sitions," that is, were detailed On some
hunbug pretense of serving as agents, con
tractors, commissioners, etc. These latter
grew rich ,--app arently richer than eTer be-
fore-and showed their zeal for the Con
federacy by hunting down the poor con-
scripts and deserters, who were numerous
particularly in the barren hill region Of
Talledega. .
The next scene in the drama was the re-
turn Of the paroled army Of Lee and John
ston. The "prisoners of war affiliated Or
fraternized at once with our troops. It was
an era ct good feeling based on mutual res
pcct But on the other hand they came
back breathing vengeance against the bomb
proofs I was up in the hills, seventy
miles from here, alone and without escort
or guard, and naturally saw and heard
much from both sides. Old citizens were
fleeing from their homes, and pitconsly ap-
pealed to me to know If We could not send
troops to their rescue. The soldiers were
openly defiant to what they themselves
called the id old secesh," robbing them
of mules, cattle and provisions; and with
qnivering lips telling me of all the long
catalogue Of wrong and outrage Of the last
four years. Several murders had already
occurred and several more had since hap
pcned They that took the sword have fall

and prominent citizens were hung. And

DO go freely through all the country with
out danger. But the rich cannot. The
slaves, CT the other hand, behave well.
Through all the debasemont and ignorance
Of the blacks there is Christ-like element
in their character, gentle and forgiving
spirit which is wonderful. They know and
insist upon their freedom but they have
already learned that liberty implies labor
and are mostly at work again for wages.
and their terror-stricken masters, hunted
down by the returned sodiery, timidly turn
to the niggerS for protection.

What Congress Can do.

The Wisconsin, makes the following sum-
mary of what the next Congress can do to
relieve the nation from the charge Of injus-
tice and wrong
1st. 1t can give to the freedmen of the
District Of Columbia, the ballot.
I'd. 1t can make colored men legally COM
petent to testify, and to sue and be sued in
all parts Of the United States Courts in
every Territory and State.
3. 1t can make him citizen Of the Uni
ted States, entitled to all the rights and
privileges of United States citizenship.
4th 1t can, by law, define Republican
form Of Government, to mean one where
all the citizens enjoy an equality Of person
al and political rights Or, in other words,
it can ordain the equality Of all men before
the Law.
9TH 1t can refuse to receive back into
the Union, any seeded State whose consti-
tuition DISTINGUISHES men on account Of
race, descent, color or creed.
9th. 1t can assert, in practical form
the primal principle ofa Republican Gov
ernment-that government must be by tbs
consent Of the governed. BY adhering tC
these principles, it can establish justice
promote the common welfare, and secure
the blessings of liberty to all the people.

The Wealth Of the Country.

It has doubtless surprised many that the
7-3O loan has been so rapidly absorbed by
the country. Even the most sanguine did
not calculate that the whole amount would
be taken before the first day Of September,
and many extended the time to the first Of
October. Yet the whole amount is sub
scribed before the first of August, not by
spectators but by actual investors. Thus
proving that the surplus wealth of the
country has taken the loan, from It's earn
ings. During the week after the surrender
of Lee and Johnston armies, ninety eight
millions Of dollars were subscribed to the
7-30 loan. A considerable amount was
taken on speculation but even the large
amounts were soon absorbed by the earn
ings Of our industry, During the subse-
quent week the subscriptions at Philadelphia
were small but they have again risen to
the enormous figures Of ten millions a day.
The success Of this loan has no donbt
been caused by its high rate Of interest.
New York only allows seven per cent. in
terest, but the government pays seven and
three-tenths and no state taxation on the
loan The laws of Wisconsin only allows
seven per cent. As a consequence no one
invests money in Wisconsin securities, but
puts it in the 7-30's It thus drains all
the capital from the state, and checks en-
terprise of every kind. Where capital is
scarce, as it must be in new state, the
folly of keeping the interest below what the
national government is paying is one of
those absurdilies which has characterized
cur legislation.
Since the seven thirty loan is exhausted,
money can now be borrowed for other
enterprises. It has been the source of sur
prise both in Europe MS well as in America
that our nation could take such vast loans
in the course Of single year. 1t was pre-
dicted abroad that the close Of the war
would leave our people in such q state OF
exhaustion and bankruptcy that our gov
eminent could not obtain money enough to
pay off the army. And, therefore, we
could not disband five hundred thousand
men without leaving them dissatisfied, and
thus provoking disorder and riot But the
army is being disbanded and paid off. and
the men go home to their old Focations. and
become useful citizens and productive mem
bers of society. II has required vast sums
to paw the army, bnt there is satisfaction
in knowing that not soldier will be de-
prived of bis wages when he returns home
It will require two or three hundred mil
lions more to take up 81 the national in
debtedncss, SO We may expect another loan

past two months are truly appalling, and
it is quite certain that the nation could not
have stood the strain Of another year Of
war for if it cost so much to close up the
accounts now, the aggregate would be still
more frightful after another year Of war.
The last campaign against Lee was con-
yulsive struggle, which strained this great
nation to its utmost, both in men and
treasure. We have succeeded that saves
all. Had we failed, the darkness Of nation

Treasurer Hastin IS.

Our excellent County Treasurer, Francis
Vivian, informed US that he lately had oc-
casion to visit Madison and transact some
business connected with the State Treasur-
er's Office. He speaks in the highest praise
of the very able and expeditions manner in
which all business connected with his office
is Conducted. He says no claims are put
off to future day because they are little
hard to overlook or understand, but are at
tended to at once Now this is as it should
be, and Treasurer Hastings is making him.

Treasurer Hastings is making himself hosts
of friends by these acts Of kindness to them.

The Suffrage Platform.

The Green Bay AdUocate, after answer
ing the objections to negro suffrage at the
South, and showing that the same objections
apply to the great mass Of the Southern
whites, says:
we are to let the South not only vote
but decide who else is to vote, wouldn't it
be fair to draw this line, for instance. Re
CARELESS where it hits or misses, let the men
in the South vote -
]. Who are able to read and write;
q Who have been in the habit Of work
ing and earning their own living;
3. Who have borne arms in the Federal
service during the Rebellion; and
4. Who promptly assent to the Emanc-
patton policy, and cheerfully yield allegiance
to the Federal Government.
We think TINT will settle this question OF
negro sufrage-will be eminenty just to
the white population Of the Southland as
such we announce it as our platform.

Sheridan On the Battle Field.

The following characteristic of the brave
and noble Sheridan, is from Harper for
August:
There was some occasion for the display
Of personal daring and the exercise of in
fluence by example on the part of Sheridan
at the battle of Five Forks. His presence
on every part Of that contested field, it is
now generally conceded, has as much to do
as generalship with tAe final result of that
battle, where every thing depended on the
persistence Of the attack on the weak point
which Sheridan had discovered Tt is
doubtful if success would have followed the
efforts Of a general who had been content
to direct the battle. Sheridan led He was
in the front line, under the heaviest fire, at

Lincoln, but that did not stop his piracisS.
He refused to regard it as the termination

How MANY SOLDIERS ARE WE MASTERING
Our ?--It now appears, says the Wisconsin,
that we had nearly a million of soldiers in
the field on the tenth of April last. The
government is mastering out eight hundred
and fifty thousand men. The figures are
so enormous in proof of the military power
of the republic. that Europe will be amazed.
Gen. Parsons, in a recent speech at old Yale
College, stated the following as reliable data
which he obtained from the war depart
ment:
Secretary Stanton had already sent home
about seven hundred and fifty thousand
soldiers that one hundred thousand would
be on the route in few days, and at the
time OF Lees surrender the Union forces
were within two or three thousand of a
round million of men.
