PUBLIC FINANCES.

The New Orleans Crescent, in an ar
ticle on the public finances, makes the
following sensible conclusions Mr.. Nc
CuLLocH, so orr special telegram informs
US, is highly satisfied with the financial
prospect, and will recommend all mea-
sures tending TO the re-establlshment OF
a specie basis. We are not informed,
however, precisely what measures are
relied on to accomplish this object If
it is meant that there is to be forced re-
sumption of specie payments, we fear not
only that such a measure is impracti-
cable, but that the effort TO enforce it
will be followed by disastrous conse-
quences. What is especially desirable
is that, for the future, there shall be no
further expansion of the currency; but
that a gradual system of reduction
of the volume of the paper cir
culation shall be adopted, and
strictly adhered to, Such system, how
ever, is inconsistent with the idea Of
that speedy extinguishment of the public
debt which is favorite scheme with so
many who fancy that it would be very
fine thing to pay eff couple of thousand
millions in a miraculously short space Of
time. The absorption Of the currency
by taxation concurrently with the heavy
impositions necessary for the rapid re-
demptiou of the public obligations would
be too much for the industry of the coun-
try.
1t would certainly be very desirable to
get rid Of the debt; bat if the process
should ruin industry and trade, it would
not be pleasant after all In addition
TO the reduction of the paper currency
to an amount commensurate with the
actual wants of the country, it would be
very expedient to equalize all the pub
lie securities by converting them into
bonds bearing a uniform rate Of inter
est. Five per cent would be high
enough, and VIC believe that a CONVEX.
sion Of the whole amount would be
practicable at this figure. The complex
system of fve-twenties, ten-forties,
seven-thirties, bonds bearing gold in
terest and bonds bearing interest in
currency, is productive of great confu
sion, and tends to depreciate the value
Of government securities. Converting
them all into one kind Of bonds, bearing
fair and uniform interest, payable in
gold, would greatly simplify the public
finances, and would increase confidence
in the Government; and would, thereby,
hasten the approach of the moment when
specie payments could be resumed nat
urally and easily, and without any violent
shock to our commercial system.

AN INDEPENDENT EDITOR.

The editor Of the Cynthiana, Ky. }
Neps, in making an appeal to his sub
scribers who are in arrears, to pay up,
says: ave hope they will settle with
out delay. Not that We need money
oh, mol Our ink is given to US, we steal
our paper, and we win our printers
wages at seven up So it costs us
nothing to carry ON business. Never
theless, as matter of accommodation,
and to ease their consciences, we will
take what they owe us, if they will send
it Immediately. Now's your chance

JOHN n. sURRArr CAPTURED.

By telegram from Rome, yesterday,
we see that JOHN II. SURRATT, implica'
ted in the assassination of the late To-
mented President LINCOLN, has been re
arrested in Egypt, and will be forwarded
to the United States under proper guard
as soon as possible.
This is a striking Illustration of the
old axiom that murder will out, and that
crime will follow US in our lonely wan
derings even to the uttermost confines OF
the earth-and though for time we
may seek safety in flight and solitude,
yet there can be no escape from a guilty
conscience.

REPRESENTATIVE NEGROES.

The Peoria GIL. } Democrat says 1t has
been supposed by many that the story OF
the election of two negroes to the Legs
lature Of Massachusetts was hoax, OF
at least that they were elected IN joke
as a lesson to the Radicals. The Spring
field Republican, a moderate paper In
most things, says it was thing intended,
and that they were chosen as the actual
representatives of the Radical element in
their respective districts. MITCHELL is
from the richest and most aristocratic
ward in Boston, and of course his cleo
ton is the expression of the regard in
which the negro is held in the upper
ten circles of the Hub of the Uni
verse" The other is elected from Charles
town, q city only second in wealth and
aristocracy to the negro ward in Boston.
We have no disposition to find fault with
the choice of these richest and most ar
istocratic" districts. They know better
than we do who will best represent them,
and have chosen such as will best do It,

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We yield much of our editorial space
to-day to synopsis of the President
Message, a document which has been
anxiously looked for in every section OF
the country. What positions the Presi'
dent may assume now in the reconstruc-
ton of the Southern States, will be read
with interest at every firesides in the
South. ANDY JOHNSON, at present, is
the only great hope of the South. de
stands, to-day, as "Stonewall, re-
sisting the encroachments Of fanaticai
Congress upon its dearest vested rights.
Should he fail us, and we be placed
entirely at the mercy of THAD STEVENS
BUTLER, SUMNER 4 Co., then we may
bid farewell to States Rights, and ex-
meet to see the once free South reduced
to conquered provinces. Already we
see by telegram that Mr.. SUMNER yester-
day gave notice of a bill abollshing all
State governments in the South, and
declaring that the South shall not vote
nm the Constitutional Amendment We
have not time nor space to-day Tor
lengthy review of this able message, but
il has the ring Of the true metal about 1t,
and we can but congratulate the South
ern people that they have such an able
and fearless representative, and one
who does not falter beneath the whlrl-
wind of the fercest opposition. There
is no sublimer spectacle in history than
ANDY JOHNSON, the Great Tribune OF
the People," resisting the encroachments
OF despotic and fanatieal Congress
He to whom was extended the tempting |
offer of being the next Radical candidate
for the Presidency, and, of course, over
whelmingly elected, has spurned their
bride, and, fearless in the conviction OF
right, has yielded to notemptation which
could induce him to change the line of
his duty, and extend even-handed JUS
tice to the whole country. We commend
careful perusalof this document to our
readers.

Abrogation of State Governments
The Negroes to be Armed and Quar-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The committee
appointed to prepare a programme OF
action for the Radical caucus on Wed
nesday evening, have their propositions
all cut and dried The bill they will
offer for the approval Of the caucus is
very similar to the one offered in Con-
gress by Hon Thad Stevens.
It coniemplates an abolition Of the
present State governments in all the
Southern States on the ground OF their
unconstitutionality. and provides for the
appointment Of a commissioner for each
State, who shall have power to appoint
the civil and military officers necessary
for the promotion Of peace and good
order.
The commissioners are to call conven-
iioHs for the purpose Of adopting a con
stitution with view 70 admission IN The
Union. There is a difference Of opinion
as to the right Of franchise. Some are
in favor Of only loyalists voting some

Prentice on Negro Suffrage.

Prentice says it is of no sort of con-
sequence that three or four papers in
the South favor the adoption of negro
suffrage as a means of getting their sec.
ton back into its old position in the
Union. Where one Southern paper sup
ports the loathsome policy, scores scorn
and scout it. And as with the press so
with Northumberland no division in
public sentiment worth noting. If the
Odious measure proposed were put to q
vote in the South, there would be a mere
squeak on one side and Thunderstorm
on the other
The reason suggested by the Mobile
Register for the Southern peoples assent
to negro suffrage is that they are now
under Northern military power subject
in all things to Northern combination,
and that they may well escape from such
condition by any means possible. But
the obvious reply to this is, that, what.
ever the present condition of the South
may be, it is condition forced upon her
against her will. She submits to it only
because she cannot help herself She is
not responsible for the humiliation she
endu-es. But, if she vote to have negro
suffrage, the act will be her own. She
will be disgraced not only with her own
consent but by herself.
And tbs only by herselfthat the South
can be disgraced. She may be oppressed
and ground down by superior power,
freedom of speech and of action may be
denied to her, her life's life may be al.
most crushed out of her, and yet, if she
deport herself proudly in her evil days,
bearing with stoical philosophy what she
cannot avert or cast from her, but
siernly disdaining to be made an agent
for the infictien Of wrongs upon herself,
she will keep her selfrespect and the
respect of mankind And self-respect is
the basis of all material prosperity worth
achieving or seeking.

MAMMALIAN.

Mexican affairs, according to our latest
accounts, seem to be exceedingly con-
fused. 1t appears to be certain, how
ever, that MACMILLAN is now residing at
Orizaba, as a private gentleman, without
pretending to exercise any of the func-
tons, and that the authority Of the
French military power is gradually wan
ing. The people of the country have no
hopes of a solution of their difficulties,
except through American Intervention.
