NEW YORK MORALS. crime of
feticide, as it is now called, has been
properly the subject of newspaper
comment. The extent of this crime
is not exaggerated; indeed, it is not
realized. A fact has just come to
light in a village not more than thirty
miles from Rochester, that shows
how frequently this crime is commit
ted, and with what impunity. In
cleansing the vaults attached to
hotel-a first-class hotel-the work
men removed no less than eight
bodies of infants in all stages of de-
composition. One of these was en-
closed in a satchel, another in pair
of soldiers pantaloons, while others
were evidently deposited without CO.
vering. How this was all done, and
just when, is o mystery which cannot
be disclosed The hotel is much fre-
quented by travellers, and guests at
the hotel may have brought these
deposits among their baggage to be
thus disposed of and concealed from
view. If the history of each foetus
could be written, what tale of crime
might be unfolded. In how many of
these cases actual murder-infanti-
cide-was committed, it is impossible
to say, as no close Investigation was
made. However disgusting the sub
ject, we deem it duty to put this
brief outline of facts upon record as
part of the history of the times.

In the House Of Commons, on the 7th
| inst, the annual bill for the abolition OF
stone and Bright spoke in favor Of the
| question being compromised some way or
other.
| The bill was passed to q second reading
| by 285 to 252. The announcement of the
vote was received with loud cheering. It
| is thought that the vote indicates an early
solution Of the question, although the pre-
sent bill will doubtless be rejected by the
| House OF Lords, as usual.
The London O,ol says: ssThe American
Government has intimated that it is in
possession Of full information as to the
States, and will not permit . ny acts OBJ
noxious to the British Government Of
| which its laws can take cognizance.''
| Fenian affairs are unchanged. Unim-

| Der Of prisoners committed in Dublin, since
the suspension of the hd6eds corpus, is 173.
The Atlantic Telegraph meeting, held in
London on the 9th inst, unanimously ap-
proved the arrangements Of the directors
for laying the cable this year.
The London Herald says meeting of
! the supporters Of Lord Derby was to be
| held, on the 8th, at the residence Of the
Marquis of Salisbury.
| The London Post contradicts its an
nouncement that DisraeE had proclaimed
among his friends his readiness to assume
the Government with the obligation of
| bringing in the Reform bill.
| The Post now says that Disraei made no
/ such announcement.
| Official returns Of British exports. for

| under the suspension, of the habeas corpus
Act, up to the 7th, was 176, of whom 42
are Irish Americans. Four have been dis
charged.
The London Times, of March 9, says:
We have reason to believe. that at the
meeting of the conservative party, held
yesterday at the house of the Marquis Sal
isbury, it was resolved that no opposition
should be offered to the introduction of the
Reform bill on Monday next; but during
the interval between its introduction and
the second reading, which it was under

The London Times continues to protest
against dealing with parliamentary reform,

Sir John Grays motion, on the Irish

Loyaltx ut the south.

he newspapers of the extreme
3ipe are engaged in picking out of
iy.ie testimony before the Reconstruc-
ton Committee such statements as
show evidences of u feeling of dis
content and dissatisfaction on the
part of the people of the South,
which, to MS, seems to be an unpro
fitable business.
All we can expect of them-all we
have any right to demand of them-is
submission to the laws. The hot
headed returned soldier will vent his
spite in words for time; the planter
whose home has been destroyed will
curse the blue coats who did it; but
if they yield obedience to the laws,
and fulfil all the conditions the Go
vernment imposes upon them, it is
all we can expect or hope for.
The extremists who are insisting
that they shall be held in state of
bondage until they do love us, ask
what guarantees have we that they
will not again rebel?
l. Their lack of strength. Were
they strong enough to again rebel,
they would not have stopped when
they did They laid down their arms
because they could no longer WELD
them-now they are without arms,
and disorganized, while the Govern
ment is stronger than ever.
2. Their interests. They are lite
rally ruined, and must have term of
peace to rebuild their broken for
tunes.
They are made of the same mate
rial as other men. They fought for
their idea-they lost, and they are
making the best of what is left them.
AS a matter of course, they will save
out of the wreck all they can, and
will strive to get back into the Union
with as much of what they went out
with as possible.
It is the duty Of the Government
to re-admit them on such terms as will
guarantee a lasting peace, and make
another rebellion impossible. But to
hold them aloof until they profess to
love a Government they do not love,
until they kiss the hand that smote
them-until they are SO changed as to
worship system they were educated
to Opposes to pass sentence of
exclusion on at least the present gene
ration. We can force them to obe-
dience, but not even bayonets can
take them farther.
It makes no difference to the Go
vernment or the people what they
think, so that their acts do not run
counter to the Jaws made for them.
The old feeling will die out, and
the ancient love the Government
will take its pla and this result will
be reached before the present gene
ration fades away, if prudent coun-
sells prevail at Washington. There
should be inducements held out for
loyalty, as we'll as punishment for
disloyalty. It should be made to the
interest of the Southern people to
yield willing assent to the require
ments of the Government, and in a
short time the anti-secessionists of
those States will control them.
The admission CT the Tennessee
and Arkansas members is the first
step to be taken i'll this direction.
There can no evil result from it, for
Congress has the power to guard itself
against the admission of improper
applicants. No man can take the
test oath who would not be an acces-
sion to the strength of the Union
maj, ity.
Let them in, and, in doing so, put
premium on Southern loyalty.

RctartlinR RECONCILIATION.


Retariing Reconciliation.
yesterday received letter from a
highly intelligent man of business in
New York, telling me of the unusual
dullness in trade there, and mention
ing, as the leading cause, that the
unsettled condition. and bitter feeling
of so many Southern people is having
telling effect uponspeculaations:
No; let your business men of the
North put down the unsettled state
of their markets to the legislators at
Washington, to excitement caused by
the Fenian leaders and impending
difficulties with England, to the con-
fused condition of the Franco -Mexi-
can question, to anything else they
please; but let us have no such RI
diculous confounding of cause and
effect as to be mistaking the means of
suffering, down -trodden people for
growls of defiance.
[ had an opportunity, to-day, of
meeting another grand fallacy that
exists very largely in the North. A
friend Of mine, just arrived on visit
from New York, and an ardent up
holder of the Congressional policy,
consequently as violent an opposer of
the Presidents, was laying down the
law as to the absolute necessity of
keeping these people down, until
their feelings were totally changed.
I asked him-supposing that their
feelings were now inimical to the Go
vernment, which I denied-how long
he would keep them down in state
of probation ? "Just as long," he
said, "as was necessary
years" "Would he then admit them
to the full rights of citizens ?'' I
asked. Yes," he said, elf they
were fit for it.. And do you think, y
asked him, THAT you would then
have any more loyal citizens, after
years of distrust, alienation and op-
preston, than you would now, by
trusting to their honor and good feel
ing ?''. Oh y said my friend, tri-
umphantly, 'but by that time the
whole character of the South would
be changed by the large influx of
Northern people and Northern senti-
ments.'
I told him, very plainly, that this
was one of the most idle and danger
Gus fallacies of all who take up that
very unrepublican line of argument.
England may for while enforce such
a state of things against Ireland; Rus
sia against Poland, or Austria against
Venice, but one-half republic can
not do it against the other portion.
Either the South would remain de-
sert and ultimately wreck the national
finances-which the masses of the
North would never permit-or if it
did not remain desert, but Northern
people were tempted here, in spite OF
everything, to embark their fortunes,
every Northern man so coming would
strike hard with the native-born Vir-
ginian against any central despotism
that would then be attacking rights
common to all. I gave him his choice
of the two horns of the dilemma, but
I don't remember that he took either.

SUITS FOR GOVERNMENT MONEY IN
THE SOUTH. The former Collector of
Customs at New Berne, N. c., in re-
ply to the invitation to return to the
Government the amount of money
he had on hand when that State Sc
ceded, replies that the money was de-
posted by him at the time with the
depos;tary at Wilmington, and en-
closes his receipt for the amount
$1,025. The funds were afterwards
confiscated by the rebel government.
The reply does not satisfy Commits
sioner Sargent, who has directed pro-
ceedings to be instituted for the re-
covery of the money. Similar pro-
ceedings, it is stated, viii at once be
commenced against all public officers
in the South, who. at the commence
ment of the rebellion, had Govern
ment funds in their possession, and
failed to return them to the Treasury.
