Congress has actually refused to appro-
pirate million and half of dollars for
repairing the broken levees on the Missis-
sippi, because, as one member said, he
wanted to "drown out the rebels little
longer" Of course the whole nation must
suffer, not one section alone, by the miss
ing crops. That is fair specimen of
congressional wisdom.

The Negroes.
Hon. s. r. Mallory, in a letter from
Fort Lafayette to citizen of Florida,
says that all who study the strides of
public santiment on :he subject of
slavery during the last quarter of the
century, cannot fail to see that, with
or without the proposed amendment
to the Federal Constitution, slavery
can never be re-established within
the American Union. He says it is
lie to speculate upon the advantages
or disadvantages of freedom to the
negro, and the fact cannot be ignored
that he is q permanent element of the
Southern population; and with re-
ference to Florida, all schemes for

- Debts Due the North.
The Spscial Committee appointed by
the New York Chamber of Commerce
to consider the propriety of enforcing,
by every means afforded by the law,
Northern claims against Southern
debtors, submitted the result of their
deliberations to that body on Thurs
day, in the shape of memorial to
Congress
t'The Committee set forth that at the
commencement of the late civil war
citizens of the rebellious States were
indebted to creditors in the North,
for money loaned and goods sold, to
the amount of about $3.50, 600, 900,
and that only small portion of it
has since been iquidated, while Oh
the other hand large proportion of
the residue has been, or soon will be,
barred by the State statutes of imita-
ton. In order that these claims may
be adjusted, therefore, the memorial
lists pray for the passage of law ex-
empting suitors in the Federal Conrts
of the Southern States from the
operations of statutes of limitation
passed by State Legislatures, for q
period long enough to afford legal
creditors an opportunity to enforce
their demands.
After an animated discussion, the
memorial was unanimously adopted,

Tho Military I'm tho South.
In the House Of Representatives, at
Washington, last week, q resolution
was introduced to the following effect:
"That in order to the maintenance of
the national authority and the pro-
lection of loyal citizens of the seeded
States, it is the sense of the House
that the military forces of the Govern
ment should not be withdrawn from
those States until the two houses of
Congress shall have ascertained and
declared their further presence there
is no longer necessary"
This resolution was adopted by q
vote of "a to 81. We cannot perceive
how this can be considered more than
an expression of opinion. 1t is
manifestly in opposition to the views
of President Johnson and General
Grant, and as the former is Com
mander-in-Chief of the Armies and
Navies of the United States, by the
Constitution thereof and the latter
the highest executive officer of the
army under him, we imagine the
resolution will be of little avail.
