Pated by the most sanguine of those
who We're conversant with the state
of the country at the close of the

We're general, have become now To-
Cal and partial. In large portion
OF the country the negroes have
gone to work in goodspirit. The
reduction or the number of military
posts, the absence of outside inter
ference between employer and en-
ploye, the removal from the minds
of the freedmen of many delusions
and vain hopes, the renewal of a
good understanding between them
and the planters, and the apprehcn-
sion of the introduction of some
competitive labor, haye all contribu-
ted to this result. If these and 9TH
er causes are left undlsturbed by
special and ill-considered legislation,
if, after the assertion and mainten-
ance of the civil and legal equality
OF the freedmen, the Federal Gov
ernment, or rather Congress and the
Legislatures Of the States, would
leave the future relations and desti-
ny of this population to be shaped
and determined by their own con
duct, by circumstances and natural

An English humorist speaks of the

The personal conceit of the Senator
from Illinois is not certainly very
tar removed from even this exagger-
ated estimate of self. In the Sen
ate he imagines himself sort of
Sir Oracle, and that every thing he
utters partakes Of the very essence
ofinfallibility. He is acute, hippant
and fluent in debate, but with none
OF those great qualities that belong
to the true statesman. We can
very we'll imagine that he might
make avery sharp, active practition-
er at the bar of some country court
"a very good to worry, circumvent
and badger a tough witness; famil-
lar with all kinds of chicanery, and
not over scrupulous how he wins
the cause of his client so that he
wins 1t. His speeches always put
one IN mind of housewives reti-
cule, containing gloves and memo
randa. keys and handkerchiefs, and
an almost endless variety of every
thing. For the arena where he now
fiourlshos, nature clearly never in
tended him, but that is the case of
large majority of those who sit with
him. His fanaticism, while, per-
haps, not quite so demonstrative and
offensive as Summers and Wade's.
is not particle less bitter and in
tense. He is an idealist, who would
govern this nation by whims and
crotchets that never could obtain a
lodgment in any skull but that of an
anti-slavery fanatic.
The Senator from Kentucky, Gar
ret Davis, has given unmistable evi-
dence Of tile possession of tile quail

the PALMER days of the State he SO
tearlessly represents. He watches
with intense solicitude the move
ments of the fanatics in the Senate.
and dashes down upon front, flank
and rear of all their measures, with
an impetuosity and gallantry that
reminds one Of the better days of
the Senate He brings to bear, too,
upon every question, the resources
ofa mind ofgreatpowerand capacity,
thoroughly versed in the learning of
the Constitution, and the lessons of
history. In all his long connection
with the public councils of the
country, he has never put forth such
energy and power as he is now ex-
hiblting in these the trial days of
the republic. He possesses indomi-
table courage, and he stays MT for
sneers or threats, but bears gallant
ly on right down upon the center of
the line Of his adversaries. Wilson,
smarting under the lash of his in
dlgnant eloquence, endeavored last
Winter to hove him expelled from
the Senate. No one, who heard it,
can ever forget the tone of defiance
with which he courted the inquiry,
or will fail to remember the able
whitening and sarcastic speech with
which he defended himself against
the malignant assaults Of the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts. He over
whelmed his antagonist, and since
that time Summers colleage has
been very cautious net to provoke
him further.-Neu York Ne,rs.

Lecture by Carl Schurz at the
brooklyn "A Academy of Music.

Lecture by Carl Schurz at the
Brool1lyn Academy of Music.
The first Of a series of lectures
on national affairs, to be delivered
before the Brooklyn Fraternity,
was given last night at the Brook
lyn Academy of Music, by Carl
Schurz, late Major General in the
Federal Army.
The audience was tolerably large,
although there was plenty of room
to accommodate three times the
number.
Mr.. Schurz commenced his lee
ture by a brief and general review
of the events of the past few years
which had led to the country being
divided in sentiment, and to the
Inauguration of President Johnson's s
reconstruction policy. He had not
the slightest doubt of the good and
honest intentions of Andrew John
son, but there was an old proyerb
which declared that the road to hell
was paved with good Intentions
1t had been generally considered
that the proper policy of the North
was to give the South plenty of lati-
tude, or in or words, plenty of
rope. Congress was to hold to 9TH
er end of the rope, so that at least
the rights of the Northern people
would be safe from Interruption
They had, in his opinion, kept on
giving the South plenty of rope, un-
til, as he thought, they had little
else to give. When they gave to
the South representation in Con-
gress, all the rope would be exhaust
ed, and then, he Thought the North
would lose its end of the rope
And what guarantees had they for
the future good colduct of the
South? what promises even? Alas
the value of the promises of the
South were molly to be valued by their
acts, and they had seen what the
tendency of them were. Under the
peculiar circumstances of the time
he did not believe in giving the
South more rope at present, for
there was nothing then that could ar.
rest their fatal course. [Some ap-
plarse.] There were three points
upon which the South would. once
more become unit, if every license
were given it. These were: First,
strenuous opposition to al endeavors
% pay the national debt accumu-
ated by the people during the war;
secondly, demand for compensa-
ion for the loss Of slave labor lost

blers to slobber over the press. This
everlasting aim is to degrade the
South by degrading its poor, but
the measure they mete out to others,
even the lowliest of these, shall be
meted back to them.

The time has never been when thew

the Philadelphia, New York and
Boston, Journals fill column after
column with horrible narratives of
human ;,depravity and wretchedness.
In that section the tendency is for
the rich to become richer, the poor
poorer. Never yet have we beheld
anything approaching the leprous
condition of the North, and God
for bid chat ever We should. Here,
trul., the most of US are impovcr-

are ignorant, but not degraded:

or to restrain and limit their eyer-
else ef these rights, will be equally
prejudicial. The laisscz nous tuire
doctrine has no more forcible appli-
cations of employer and cmrloy6.-
As long as the laborer is free and has
equal rights before the law, it is a
positive injury to him to enact spe-
cial laws in his favor. Hence the
whole system of the Freedmen's
Bureau is founded on an unwise po-
7icy, and produces only mischief
There is no need for any such tribu-
nal, as long as the laws of Congress
and those of the several States, i'm
pose upon the courts and all officials
the duty Of extending to freedmen
all the rights enjoyed by all other
citizens. Let any class, especially
the weaker and more ignorant class
of any society, learn or imagine that
they have special projections, guar
antees and privileges, and they
would certainly form an exception
to the general tendency of human
nature if they did not become less
seif-reliant and more presumptuous
and exacting than when distinctly
taught that they must depend on
their own merits, and trust to their
own efforts for successful rivalry
with the rest of the community.
The proof of the truth and Justice
Of this proposition has been amply
shown by the experience Throughout
the South of the last six months.-
In localities far removed from the
intermeddling Of the agents of the
bureau, the freedmen have been
more contented, peaceful, industrI-
Gus and prosperous. They have
worked better and more steadily, and
have reaped the rewards Of iudus-
ty by increasing their comforts,
avoiding vice and dissipation, and
escaping many frauds, imposltions
and extortions. Under such cir
cumstances it has been found prac-
ticable and profitable to allow them
an interest in the crop-an arrange
ment which has not proved feasible
IN localities which were exposed to
the constant supervision and inter
meddling of the Freedmcn's Bu-
rcau. For these, and many other
reasons, we regard the..existence of
the bureau a positive evil, especially
to the freedmen. The recognition,
by some general act of Congress, of
the equal rights Of this people
would be all that was sufficient, even
If that were necessary, to insure
them a full protection against all
laws or acts by which they might be
aggrieved, or their equal ri { hts CUES
toned or assailed'-Picayunc.
