Votes for Reputation.

d. the friends Of negro suffrage take
into consideration the probability that
every negro vote will be a VOC in favor
Of Reputation In their anxiety to con.
fer the franchise en- the freedmen. that
circumstance may have been uvcrook
ed. The negroes. as race. are ucith-
by nature or experience qualified to ar
prccate the relations between debtor
and creditor in moral point of view !;
and it is rot likely that they will ne
elect an opportunity to vote Themselves
free from the burdens Of taxation.
Tho negro rarely works voluntarily. OK
cept TO provide the ncccssnrics Of life
ana to crafty his daily appetite for lit
tie lnXrlc2. When lie finds that he has
to work 30 much the harder to assist in
redccmiog the financial ple'lgcs of the
government, he will not be found SC
sensitive in regard to the sanctity OF
the public national debt as to sacrifice
his personal case and comfort before
that crushing financial Ju.grrnant.
A'''. i''''"pH' 'Ilt lAdVltHlr, iU so Epal
onsly urging negro suffrage, have ii
view the probability of a popular SEMI
mcnt in favor Of reputation. They
see, perhaps, that the masses are begin.
ing to chatc under the pressure ofcnor-
nous taxes. They appreciate, perhaps
the difficulty Of preserving the iniola-
bility Of debt that the debtors have
the power to to cancel by n given num-
Der Of slips ofp pr thru into u bal
lot box. 1t is yet to be demonstrated
that government contr He'd by tho
popular will, in which the people are
sovereigns, will continue, throughout
all the changes Of partisan sentiment
and fortune, to acknowledge u public
debt that drains cvcty ounce of reyenn,
aud swallows up the best part Of tn,
profits Of labor. 1t is fair to prcsum,
that, sooner or later, the rallying cry OF
some political party will be reputation
and in that event the partisans of tina
measure may rely upon the negro vote

CarniyA! Of Crime.

The country seems to have emerged
from the most terrible Of wars, only to
have entered upon a carnival Of unparalI-
eed crimes. In all quartz RS there are
murders, bnrg,arics rapes, assault with
intent TO Kill, gambling, pockrtp'ckirg,
and drunkenness, to an alarming extent.
Domestic tragedies, Opponents, and
"scenes' OF that kind, abound scduc-
tions and revonges are chroniclcd on CIV.

"shootiHg alfroys," multiply. Prostitutes
with hrogon Impudeocc Haunt their iincrv;
acquired from the wages Of sin, in the
face of responsibility, aud put en- more
airs than could scarcely be expected from
the most moral and refined lady who
treads the drawing room. Almost every
day we hear Of ouragos pcrpetratcd upon
inn cent young females by british scoun-
drels, who lay in wait for them as the
Tiger does for his prey, and following this
one reads OF murders, where the victims
are literally chop ed to pieces with axes
sometimes a mother and daughter
while asleep in their beds. These crimes
are accompanied VIII circumstances Of
such unparalleled atroci'y rs 10 shock the
whole community. and is enough to cur
de one ; blood with horror Deplorc it
as we may-deny it who may--it is nov.
crtheless painfully apparent that with
he close Of the war there has burst upon
the land an Eruption Of crime quite with
out parallel in the annals Of civilized life
We might Gil columns with the murders
and ouragcs chronicled from every quar-.
ter. Does not much of the responsibility
for this lie a, the doors Of the preachers
who promulgated politics instead Of re-
lgion to their congregations That tho
political clergy have done more than al
others to produce the state of affairs above
described is undeniablc; and it is equally
apparent that they are both disinc lined
and unable to undo the work of immoral

They have been false guides, not biint
ones to the people, willfulIy leading then

Glass; they have shown themselves mor'
dishonest and unworthy of public respec

distant when this will be the settled con
viction of the mass of honest and inteli
, GENT people. Whether they can or vii
do anything to avert the natural conse
ouences of this fact and conviction, re
mains to be seen. Ifso, tie sooner the
set about it, aud The more earnestly the,

The Cabinet Crisis.

The Washington correspondent, of the
New York Herald was informed on Mon.
day by the members of the Cabinet that
there have been no collisions between the
Executive and his constitutional advisers
Their personal relations are perfectly
atricablc and possibly, with the excep.
ton of Secretary Seward, they are will.
ing to retain their places, except in the
event of an eyigency that might place the
President in position 10 make recon-
strucion OF the Cabinet dcsiriblc. This
is the exact understanding Of the matter.
Thus far Mr.. johnson has not indicated
whether their designations would be ac
ceptabc or otherwise. The fact that he
has not avaled himself Of the proposal
is significant that there is no demand re-
qu.rin.. an Immediate change. 1t may
be questioned whether it would be agree
able FOR the President to part indlscrml'
uatcly with all the members of his Cabi
net, especially those appointed by him
self; but in tlv event Of necessity tor !
change he is assured that even they vii
not fall back upon the Tenure Of Ollic
bill, or for any reason claim cXcmptio
from S,an,on's fate.
