Tue attitude Of the Government has been
that Of unyisldipg yet judicous advocacy of the
idea that the establishment Of European mon.
archy on American soil would be regarded as q
standing menace against the republican institutions
Of this country. In his correspondence with the
French ministry, Mr.. Seward seems to have omitted
no occasion for enforcing this sentiment and at last
a definite time has been fixed for leaving the dis,
traced Mexican nation to decide It's own destiny.
Having accomplished this triumph, the Secretary
of State then plainly informs Austria that Maximil
ian cannot 10 maintained In Mexico by fresh levies
of Austrian troops without incurring the aspleas.
ure of the United States. There is no mistaking
Mr.. Stewards words, either in regard to France or
Austria, and IL they meant to be taken as they
appear, the Monroe doctrine has been abundantly
vindicated in the recent diplomacy of the Govern.
ment with respect to Mexico.

THE REASON WHY.

Some of our contemporaries have remarked
upon the fact that the war did not produce
as many reckless criminals as was anticipated
and although the names Of returned soldiers
appear here and there in the records Of mis-.
demeanors, the expectation that crime would
receive q terrible impetus from this class
after the armies were disbanded has been
agreeably disappointed. The reason of this
is. doubtless to be found in the fact that our
armies we're fighting, not for conquest and
national ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, hut to uphold the
Government-to maintain the Constitution
and the laws. War has hardening and de-
basing tendency, but that which produces
the least amount Of such effect is such war
as our armies have been engaged in, as its
results have proven. 1t was predicted that
when the legions Of soldiers returned home
it would be seen that life in camps had de-
moralized them to such an extent that they
would disregard the laws and indulge boldly
in crime. But it should be remembered
that military discipline inspires respect for
authority in the powers that be, and men
are not likely to fear long incarcerations in
our prisons any less than they did the tenn
porary buckings, tyings to cannon wheels,
temporary confinement in guard-houses, etc,
inflicted upon them in the army. As we
said before, the actual condition Of things
jutifes this theory Of causes and effects
Some young men may have been made worse
by army life, but many were made better by
the strong restraints of military authority.

The Freedmen in North Carolina.

HThe Freedmsn's Bureau is in receipt Of the gen
sral report for the State of North CAROLINA for the
quarter ending March 81, Of Col. L. whittlesey,
assistant commissioner. The number of destitute
dependent freedmen has been gradually reduced to
such an extent that issues of ratiuns may soon be
discontinued. The demand for labor still greatly
exceeds the supply, and notwithstanding this fact
there are still large colonies of freedmen at Roanoke
Island and New Borne who are not earning their
support. Those at the former place have been no.
tilted that they would receive supplies after May
!, 1866, and vigorous measures have been taken to
bring about their removal. Similar steps were
not taken with regard to the paupers about New
Berne, on account Of the prevalence of the small
Pox in that town. That maIady is now decreasing,
and Captain seely, superintendent, has already
rented farm upon which he intends to place some
Of the dependents, and require them to do some.
thing towards their own support. A pauper farm
Is in successful operation ut Goldsboro', and the
freedmen camp has in consequence been broken up
