Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, is
in this city, and speaks calmly but en-
couragingly OF the condition OF society
and the tone of opinion in that State.
The labor question is fast adjusting it
self, and less animosity exists between
the blacks and whites than Northern
people generally suppose. As an evidence
of this he cites the fact that the Georgia
legislature passed AN act providing in a
few words that freedmen shall have the
right to contract and enforce contracts;
to sue and be sued; testify in the courts,
and to lie subjected to the same punish
ment for like offences as whites. The
same statutes apply to blacks and whites
and the same courts take cognizance of
the offence. No distinction is made on
account Of race or color, so that all are
equal before the law Beyond this, how.
ever, Mr. Stephens asserts that the peO'
pie of Georgia desire nothing so much
as their practical restoration to the
Union, and that they honestly intend to
adapt themselves TO the new conditions
by which they are surrounded aud make
good their professions OF sincerity,
The President c0ncurs in the opinion
of the Secretary of the Treasury that
it is desirable that the State of Alabama,
and other Southern States, should be al
lowed to assume and pay their proper
tion of direct tax now due, and there
fore recommends legislation by Congress
to that end The value of assessed real
estate, by act of Congress, is $4,000 600;
the proportion OF Alabama is nearly
$3.50 900.

The Combat Thickens.

The contest for United States Senator is
waxing warm among the Radicals The as
pirants for that distinguished honor are mar
shaling their forces, and endeavoring to bring
all their personal influence to bear upon the
struggle. The two prominent candidates are
Governor Curtin and General Cameron, and
we think it safe to predict that one or the
other will be the drawer of the successful
prize. Governor Curtin has great popularity
with the masses of his party, while General
Cameron possesses considerable strength
with the managers. Our editorial brother,
who is SO fond of making inhammatory
speeches from the upper window of his
sanctum, at the corner of Seventh and Chest
nut, has been completely distanced in the
race, and is now turning his undivided at
tention to military matters in Baltimore.
Shutting the battle afar off, he has donned
his regimentals, and viii no doubt lead a
squadron to glory when the project of
drenching the streets of the Monumental
City with blood is carried into execution
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts,, and the gal
liant Schenk, of Ohio, are with him in this
fight, and prodigies of valor may be expect
ed from this famous trio of military heroes.
In the meantime, the Senatorial battle is
being fought with daily increasing vigor in
Pennsylvania. As calm observers of the
struggle, we will faithfully chronicle all the
movements of the rival chieftains, and
keep our readers g booked up in all the
details of the Kilkenny fight that is now
raging with violence among the victorious
Radicals of the old Keystone.-Age of the
