The bonds of the State Of Alabama, which were
generally below par under Democratic rule be-
fore the war, when the Republic was, as the Demo-
Gratis love to boast at the height of its prosper
ity, are now, under Republican rule, sometimes
above and never below par" as the papers of
that State testify. Governor Orr, of South Car
olina, makes the same boast for that State. 1.-The
Republican party" he recently said, whatever
may have been its extravaganza or improvdence,
has raised the market value of the bonds of the
State from twenty-six cents in January, 1868, to
about ninety cents at the present time" From
Arkansas we have similar reports. Meanwhile,
see what the Democratic party has done for New
York, Kentucky, Maryland, and other States un-
fortunate enough to submit to its rule.

CIVILIZED TREATMENT OF PRISONERS OF WAn.-
II is certainly very crediable to the German
combatants that the prisoners taken thus far in
the war have been treated with humanity, and
even generosity. From time to time We have
given examples of that compassion to the help
less which is generally characteristic OF brave
natures. 1t il to he presumed that the French,
who are equally civilized, would show the same
kindness to captives, though they had not much
opportunity during the war to exercise this kind
Of hospitality. 1t would seem as il the Germans
were bent upon making involuntary guests Of
the greater part of the French army, and doing
their best to make them comfortable. The cx-
ample is good one, and might be profitably i'm
iated by those who are not aware that outrage,
rapine and the infection of unnecessary pain
are extraneous to war in itself, and practise1 in
this age only by the barbarous and inhuman.

1t is only bubble, unworthy of any sincere

votes of colored men. He was in their houses

and elsewhere and talked to them about poll

mean to make the public believe that he did not
do this with the object of influencing their

France had proclaimed the Republic recalling

of Washington and of Lafayette, to extend the
moral support of its sympathy and good will to
the first Republic of the Old World. The des-
patch was sent yesterday through the French
