The Neir Nation, newspaper recently
started at Richmond, Va, has the following
on the question from gentleman Of Alexan-
dria, 4 Virginian and former slave owner,
who has had a great deal to do with labor,
having been merchant in that city for
thirty years. With his views and spirit
prevailing at the South, reconstruction
would be easy:
"It has been stated in the North and in the
South, that the colOred people will not work;
that they are idle, lazy, and worthless; that il
is desirable they should be removed from the
South and their room supplied with white labor;
that if this is not done, the crops cannot be
planted. cannot be raised, cannot be garnered.
This is net true to any extent. They are neither
idle, lazy, nor worthless. II is not to be won-
derel at that some Of them have focked into
the villages, towns, and cities Of the States
They have been informed that their former
masters do not want them; that they DO not
wish to employ them; or, if they do. it is at
such rate as is shameful to contemplate, CON-
pared with the prices paid for slave labor in
1859 and 1860. What we're these wagesl For
field hands, from 500 to Sl20 per annum,
besides houses, clothing, medical attendance,
! and provisions. Fer women from $50 to S75,
and the same provisions. Now since the war
notwithstanding the high prices Of clothing and
medical attendance, only from SEQ to SO per
annum are offered payable at the end Of the

The Stockton Case.

The case of Mr.. Stockton, claiming to be
legally elected as L, S. Senator from New
Jersey, was decided on Tuesday. The 1850
luton declaring Mr.. Stockton not entirled
to seat, was adopted, ayes %, noes 81.
The ayes and noes were as follows:
Yeas-Messrs. Brown, Chandler, Clarke,
Conness, Cragin, CressKel, Fessenden. Grimes.
Howard, Howe, Kirkwood, Lane Of Indiana,
Nye, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sherman, Sprague,
Summer, Wade, Williams, Wilson and YATES

Hendricks, johnson, Lane of Kansas, Nc
Dougall, Morgan, sNesmith, Norton, Poland,

Willey-2l.
Not roting-Messrs Dixon, Wright and
Foot, who we're sick; Foster, (paired with Nor
rill who is in Connecticut and Stewart. (Who
did not vote.)-6.
The whose case, to our view lies in nut
shell. The facts on which the question
arose, are simply these. The business Of
electing a L. 5. Senator was before joint
assembly of the n. j. Legislature. With
out any law authorizing it, the Joint As
sembly determined that the election should
! be decided by a plurality vote. Not only
. was there no law authorizing such decision
but it oOntrayened all previous rules and
usages in that State, a majority being
necessary there for an election, as every
where else, in the absence Of any law
under which an election can be made by
| plurality. Stockton received 40 votes and
/ there were II votes for other persoDs.-
! Stockton was declared elected and received
his credentials. In the q. S. Senate. his
right to hold seat being raised, the subject
I was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
which by majority reported the election as
lawful one That view of the matter was
taken by some of the Committee who were
; politically opposed to him, particularly by
i Messrs Trumbull and Poland. 1t is amaz-
ing to US how those Senator's could have so
decided. When the vote was taken in the
Senate on concurring with the report Of the
Committee, Stockton himself voted, thus
giving himself one majority. This was too

Ma. Foor's LAST HouRs.-SenatOr Foot

GEN. 4. +. LES TESTIMONY "A long ac-
count appears of tie evidence Of the rebel
general IN chief, r. z Lee, before the congres-
sional committee Asa whole i. is Of very little
Importance, either as regards the questions
put to him or his answers. Many of the in

and ..I don't know, =. have neysr thought
particularly about it, It may he 20,
q" presume it's" and the like, Constitute
the burden Of his replies One thing how
ever struck us forcibly. In answer to in
quiries about the treatment Of Union Iris-
oners at Libby prison, Belle Isle, Anderson
vile, Salisbury, &c be claims to have been
profoundly ignorant He says, in sub
stance, that he never knew but what they
were as well treated as they could be-ehat
he had nothing to do with prisoners after
he took them and turned them over to the
proper oficials-made no inquiries and had
no reports about thom-in short was as
ignorant on the points of their being fed or
starved, fairly cared for, or left to perish
when sick. or to be shot down at the caprice
of their guards, as if he had been on another
planet lie only seems to remember that
he was always anxious for fair exchanges
This remarkable ignorance on his part OF
the atrocIous treatment Of Union prisoners
by the rebels, can only be accounted for by
supposing that 1t was an arranged plan that
he was not to inquire or to be told anything
officially on those matters, and that all the
statements to be found in the public prints
on both sides concerning them, be was to
treat as Of no account whatever. His tcsti-
mony does not raise him whit in our esti-

step, or rather stride, towards Capitalization,
and the concentration Of all Legislative powers

the bill must be to resusciiate the spirit Of rebel
