The complication Of the domestic af-
fairs Of the United States WIS never more
remarkable than at the present moment.
The work Of reconstruction has not ae-
tually made progress, for all sections and
parties admit that the framework Of soci-
city 10 the Southern division Of the Union
is as much dcranged now as it ever has
been. Government by the bayonct and
the forcible suppression Of thought, which
every rejecting. man in the country
heartily ,deplorcs, and even the most ex-
treine regard with secret aversion and
n,isgiving, seem likely to be extended
through the present generation. The
longer q rule Of this kind il maintained.
thc more difficult it becomes to terminate
it, because the discomfort which it excites
renders severe repressiyc measures indis.
pensable. The American people arc at
| length accustomed to state Of affairs
from which they would formerly have
turned with indignation-to the existence
on their continent Of purely military
government over ten millions Of their
fellow citizens, whose representative men
are put under the ban, who are not only
excluded from the Federal legislature and
Federal Offices, but are deprived Of all
! voice in the government Of their several
States The community that is subjee-
ted to this treatment accepts it without
murmuring, but the passive attitude OF
submission into which it has fallen is ev-
en- more nnprolnising for the peace and
welfare OF the country than open resist.
anee. Forciblc opposition, If any could
be made. might easily be quelled but
when one-third Of great nation, whose
concurrence in the general government is
necessary to its prosperity and security,
declines TO take any part in it, and sits
down in listless indifference or despair,
either coereiyc or conciliatory measures
viii prove unavailing. The Southern
people say that since Congress has deter
mined that the negroes must govern, 50
shall it be, but they will not give their
sanction to the proceeding By recording
their names in an assured minority at the
polls. Theie are not many even in the
radical party who look with satisfaction
on the probable perpetual estrangement
Of the Southrcn people, and the incor-
operation into the main structure Of the
government of the FIVE military districts
which have virtually superseded ten or.
gained Statcs.-London Times.

Facts and Fignres OF the PubIic
Debt.

E45 & a
To the Editors Of the Enquirer:
There are but few persons who have
any conception of the vast numbers con-
tanned in billion. In order to arrive at
something like definite understanding
of the ifnmensity Of such sum, let Us
suppose one billion Of silver dollars TO be
placed in o heap, and one man set to count
it, how long would it take him to count itY
Some will say, perhaps month, or maybe
three. six months, or year, but we will
let figures answer. We will suppose that
an expert would be able to count and
arrange in banking house order, one every
second at that rate he would count sixty
per minute, three thousand six hundred
per hour, (and allowing ten hours for
days work, thirty-six thousand in a day,
one million in month and two days, and
| in one year ten million Eight hundred
thousand, and one billion In ninety-tWo
years. Now, let rs suppose our National
debt to be no more than 1T is generally
stated to be, say about 81, 100, 600, 900,
and If We divide that sum by 10, 300, 900,
the sum that could be counted In one
year, we find that it would take $50 years
to count the National debt; and yet some
of our Radical friends would have US be-
licve that the debt is mere trihe, while
they 20 on with their reckless sgextrayagance
spending $3.50, 100000 Of the peoples
irnoDey every year, mainly for the purpose
Of perpetuatIng their own power and
supporting twenty to thirty thousand cor
rupt officials. Think of these things,
ye tax payers, and consider whether it.
would be better to continue in power
party so unscrupulous and hypocritical,
and so recklessly extravagant in expend-
iture, or return to the good old Democrat
ic principles upon which. the Govern
ment was administered in former times,
when our taxes were so light we scarcely
knew We had Government to support.
Z. G. G. IS
TThe calculation Of E, c. G. shows the
immensity of the public debt, aud how
long it would take to pay it by counting
out dollar by dollar in silver. There is a
way, however, net so tedious: pay off In
one thousand dollar greenback bills, five
hundred dollar greehbaek bills, and one
hundred dollar greenback bills. Its mag
nitude will not be so enormous, in fact,
as it appears when treated in that way

The PUBLIC DIsGUsTED.-Thot the
pubic mind has become disgusted with
the extreme measures ofmany prominen
men in the Union party We have little
doubt. The evident determination of some
among them, not only to secure the col
ored race in the enjoyment of equal rights
but to give them absolute ascendancy in
the government of the country, has repell
ed very many who have hitherto acted
with the Republican party. Thore is nc
doubt, moreover that the violence and
reckless partizanship which has marked
much of the action and more of the espeech
es of republican leaders, the disregard Of
Constitutional obligations. the manifest
determination to keep political power il
their own hands, by whatever means, and
the evident purpose to exclude the South
ern States from the Union until they car
rely on their support of the most radica
measure of public and of party policy
have caused very many members of tha
party to distrust the wisdom and the pa
triotism of those who have usurped iti
leadership and coutrol. ~ X Times.

ANDREW JAcKsoN.-He was Indeed
an extraordinary man; the only man I
ever saw that excited my admiration to
the pitch Of wcndcr. To him knowledge
seemed entirely unnecessary. Hesaw in
tuisivelY into everything, and reached a
conclusion by short cut, while others
were beating the bush for. the game.
His reasoning was impulse and his i'm
pulse inspiration. He never
sought an object that he did not succeed
in attaining, and never fought battle
that he did not win. General
Jackson was not only an honorable but
an upright man, and equally scorned a
mean as dishonorable act Whatever
he might have been in his youth, he was
a pious man in his old age; and though,
as Corporal Trim says, q our army sEore-
terribly in Flanders" the General had
conquered the habit before death :
1t was not the politeness of conventional
habits but the courtesy of the heart, and
his department toward his family, hi
guests and his slaves was that of patri
arch of old presiding over his Hocks, his
herds and his dependents.-J. 4. Pduld-

MEDICAL ETHICS.

DR.. Augustus X. Gardner has been 4 ply
sician in good standing in this city for % years.
He is a graduate, we believe, of n regular
medical college he has attended all the regu-
lar lectures, paid all the regular fees, passed
all the regular examinations, and probably has
regular parchment diploma neatly framed
and hanging up in the back office. His name
has long been borne on that regular list of the
professional elect called The Medical RegiSter-a
list, as everybody knows, which embraces abso-
lutely all doctors competent to give dose of
physc, and outside which there is no saliva
ton. Moreover, until few hours ago he was
a member of that eminenty regular and con-
servative body, the NewYork Academy of
Medicine. DR.. Gardner however has lately
undergone professional annihilation. lie is not
regular any longer. His name has been scratched
off the book of life. He has been kicked out
of the Academy. His parchment is of no more
use to him now than if he had cut it out of a
drum-head Whatever may have been his ser
vices TO the sick and suffering during his %
years practice, whatever his accuracy in dag
noss, his skill in prescription, his faithfulness
to duty, his success his reputation, his general
standing among physicians-there is no doubt
ABOUT MN HOWj Hc Is u pdIIin anu an ou''aot'
lie need not expect any more fees. He may
take down his sign and sell his gig. Patients
are warned to keep away from him, and, to use
the language of one of the regular" gentle
men who have brought upon him this dreadful
doom, he is probably at the present moment
wandering alone in this great city and dying
"a living death"
The crime for which DR.. Gardner has been
sentenced to this awful fate is neither poison
ing patient, nor stealing money, nor forgery,
nor bigamy, nor, in word, any crime known
in the decalogue. There is no pretense that he
is not good Christian,,a a good doctor, and an
amiable gentleman. He has neither the plague,
the yellow fever, nor, to the best OF our
belief, any other disease which makes him
unfit for the company of the rest of man
kind. But the Committee on Ethics" OF
the Academy OF Medicine have been looking
into his life. and have discovered that one OF
his intim ate friends is hom9pathist. This is
his offense The friend might have been
liar, drunkard and a blackleg, and the Com
mittee on Ethics would not have cared a

farthng But to consOrt with a man who Is,
regularly speaking, amedical hereto; who pre-
fcrs lit,lc doses to big ones; who sets llahne-
mann above Esculapius. and cnres diseases IN
one way instead Of another. argues, 1t seems,
a degree of ethical delinquency which requires
the scyerest punishment. IL was not alleged,
be it remarked that Dr. Gardner himself had
apostatized from the faith OF the Academy.
Nobody charged him with administering the
little white powders For aught we know he
may prescribe nothing but blue pills and pare
corc every day of his life. But having as we
said before. an intimate friend, who, though
bred regularly" had fallen away into the
Hahnemannic delusions, DR.. Gardner has been
guilty of the sin of consulting with him some
times on professional questions, has met nm
at the bedside of some suffering patient and
given him the benefit of his advice and ex-
pericnce. This is the crime for which there is
no forgivincss
One might almost suppose from the actoh Oh
the Academy that homeopathy was catching, so
that regular doctor who came near pracu-
toner of that dcvilish art would be apt to spread
the infection, even if he did not succumO TO II
himself The Committee suggested IN indc-
finite suspension of DR.. Gardner during the
pleasure of the Academy sort OF ethical
quarantine of nobody knows how many days
during which he might have leisure to repent
"of his error" but we are pleased to learn
that the culprit manifested no signs of remorse
whatever, and expressed his determination to
"do so again" whenever the occasion offered.
Whether the action of the Academy will be
quite as efiectual az they supposed in depriving
him of the chance to do so again, we very
strongly doubt. For our own parts, we are not
prepared to believe that DIR. Gardner is now
walking the streets gnashing his teeth In lone
illness and agony of mind. We are not so sure
about his dying a living death" We think
it probable that he is quite as good doctor
now as he ever was If his name can't be
printed any more in The Medical Register we
dare say he can manage to have it retained in
the New York Directory, which is vastly bet
ter book with better circulation. And when
he made his choice to leave forever the rldl-
culous Academy rather than break off inter-
course with his homeopathic friend he did
what was manly and sensible. and what will
prove, we dare say, as advantageous to his pro-
fessional career as it was creditable to his in
dependence.
