THE FAILURE OF OKN. LEE.
The caprice of fortune aud the uncer
tainly of war have been signally illustrated
in llie lot of Gun. Lee. We cannot but dis
credit the rumor that it is intended lo indict
hitu lor high treason, but fatff has visited
him hardly enough already. For him alone,
the most consummate of. nil commanders
in America, was reserved a destiny which
his own lieutenants aud bis oft defeated ri •
vals were permitted to cscapo. He alone
lost a decisive battle, lie alone BUlVcrcd an
absolute and irrcincdiablo disaster. Never
before, in the whole lijslory of the war,
was a victory tollowed up, a rout made
complete, or an army compelled to surren
dor. Never before was a general in cliiet
taken prisoner In the fluid by number gen
eral in-chief; uevur was a campaign con
cluded by capitulation and submission.—
The braggarts aud blunderers who at the
beginning ot the war cost their countrymen
no dearly, still evaded this extremity of dis
aster, and were always enabled to report
their annius-as "safe." Lee him elf, after
one of his most brilliant victories, lamented
the invariable absouco of results, and com-
pluiutd that he could never capture a divi
sion or even a brigade of the vanquished
enemy. These trophies it was bis fate not
to win for himself, but to contribute tooth
ers. The war was at last concluded and
the cause lost by the very commander who
hail done more than nil the rest to promote
aud sustain them. Yet all this did in reali
ty but spuuk for Ids extraordinary ability.
He suffered the final defeat simply bt cause
lie was the last to be beaten.
Uis lieutenants escaped because lie was
unconquered. Early was gradually driven
out of the Slieuandoah Valley by Sheridan,
hut he had Richmond open to him in his
rear. Johnston was driven across the Cam-
linas, hut he held his forces together with
the assurauco that there was Richmond to
retire upon, Lee, however, the support ami
stay ol all the rest, had only his owu nrmy
and his own position, and round that army
and position the artnicH ot one Adversary
after another steadily closed. Whenever a
divisional commander retreated before a
Federal force that force became disengaged
lor the combined campaign against Lee.—
Ilo held Richmond so long that at last
there was nothing elso left ’fir the enemy
to take. The capitals ol Georgia and Sitfllh
Carolina, though tar in bis rear, had been
taken already, aud although he still guard
ed the frontier ot the Confederacy, the in
terior had been penetrated and occupied
tMuid him. North and Houth, East aud
West, the loo gradually encompassed him,
and for months the eud was at hand. That
lliis end for him, should be not only defeat,
hut prosecution, is ton strange an event to
he believed. Twelve months ago there was
not an American ot the North but would
have enthusiastically hailed his accession to
the command ot air the armies ot the Re
public.
It is obvious, however, that the abrupt
ness of the end, combined with the terrible
crime by which it was signal zul, has affect
ed the American Government. Not ouiy is
a new aud more uncompromising President
at the head of the Stale, but the Slate itsel!
is under the influence ot natural passion.
Peace came at lust with an absolute shock,
and the collapse ol the South was so sudden
and complete that it removed all immediate
necessity of conciliation or compromise.
Let the North do what they will, the South
tor the prrsmt CAn fight no more. The
juries lrom Arkansas and Tcxas-aie but.
apochryphal, and, indeed, wc kuow that no
organized forces from these parts could bo
brought effectually upon the scene of war,
even when the Mississippi was In thuhands
ot the Contederates. The North, in short,
is so absolutely master of the field, that
President Johnson Is exempted from many
of the considerations which President Lin
coln but a few months since would have
been compelled to entertain. Yet it must
lie acknowledged that as regards foreign
nations his policy has been unexceptionable,
and we trust that the plain interests ot the
future may gradually prevail with him in
his internal admiutstru'ion, over theoretical
conceptions of allegiance and treason.
The whole course of this civil war has
been unique in its character. The Clouted
erate leaders did more than any insurgent,
chiefs have ever done, and ended witli less
to show for It. Thelr’s was no “ Provision
al" government, organized iu secrecy and
maintained at hazard. For four years thoy
claimed place openly, and not unreason
ably, among tho States of the world. II
the Confederate government was not “ re
cognized" iu diplomatic form, it obtained,
at any rale, every other kind of acknowl
edgment. It was knowu on the Exchanges
ot Europe, and contracted loans on no uii
favorable terms. It found its way into our
Year Books aud geographies, and became,
tor its brief term of existence, a genuine
political reality. Posterity may turu even
to the respectable Alvianche de Gotha, aud
learn who were the Southern officers of
State In the year 1804. Great English states
men recognized the creation ot a new na
lion, and yet of that nation there remains
less now than usually survives the most
hopeless insurrection. Six weeks sufficed
to convert secrBs'on from a mighty revolt!
tion into a treasonable crime.

A DIFFICULT V .NOT TIIOICIIT OF.
We have seen in two or three Northern
papers expressions of surprise that South
urn employers ol negro labor object to giv
ing the prices stipulated in the military or
ders ol Rome localities. They say that these
prices ot labor, arc no move than the old
rates of negro hiring hstore the war, and
cannot therefore ba extravagant or very
hard to pay. The writors who use this nr-
gnment do not take into consideration the
seriously altered condition of the country.
Belorc the war the South was prosperous
and the business of cotton-growing was
then thought ut leant sure to yield money
enough to pay the hire of the negro. We
have, however, heard many a planter con
tend, before the war, that there was no
profit in hiring tho negroes to make cotton
at the rates nt hire then prevailing. The
;profit of the business was at best, precarious,
depending both on the yield of cotton and
its price. Now, when this cliiet money-
making branch of Southern agriculture is
utterly destroyed, at least for the present
year, thu planter has no assurance whatever
Hint the incomo of his plantation will be
sufficient to pay any wai>,c,s to [he negroes
employed. Imbed, he bus no pioipeet ot
such a result.
Tho planters of the South commenced
operations this spring with tho resolution to
raise little or no cotton this year, as they had
done for two or three years previously.—
This policy was adopted, not only because
there was ho sure market for the cotton
when raisod, but because its culture was
discouraged by both the Confederate aud
HI ale Governments, nn the ground that all
the agricultural labor of the c»unt<v was
needed to raise provisions for the army and
the people.
The great raids of the spring, therefore,
did not seriously interfere with cotton plan
ting. Roth those raids greatly distut bed
the labor of the plantations, by taking i If
not only the negroes, hut tint horses amt
mules, and left very many of the planters
without the means of cultivating the giain
crops they had planted. They are thus
left, for this year, without a cotton crop to
bring them in money, and many ot them
even without grain crops antfleient to feed
their families aud Block. All their money
was rendered ulteily worthless by the
downfall of the Contedoracy, and all their
plantation utensils need renewing to enable
thuin to carry on next year’s operations.—
Never before were a people more complete
ly ‘ broke," or more seriously embarrassed.
They have no chauco of income this year,
and the prospect of making anything by
raising cotton with negro labor even next
year Is now very gloomy. The planter who
would agree to pay even live dollars a
month for negroes to raise cotton next year,
it thu present state ot demoralization
among them continues, would have about
as much chance to make tho money by their
labor aa the simpleton docs who invests his
money in a Yankee “gift wile" swindle. To
raise cotton with sure results, the labor
must bo permanent ami steady tor the whole
year, ami the whole force ot the ’plantation
must bo all the time under the complete
control ot ouo skillfull and vigilant director.
It is cgrcginusly lallacinus to conclude
that tho present high prices of labor at the
North are a true standard of what prices
should be at Lite South. It is tue redun
dancy of paper money at the North, aud
its consequent depreciation, IhlU have es
tablished fictitious wages of labor throe,—
No n il redundancy exists at the South—
ind. - ,i wc are in a stale of monetary col-
lapse, and have not iu the entire State ol
Georgia ua large an amount ol a circulating
medium as wo had in one of the (longres-
sianal District! before secession. Money is
scarce, and the crops cut of which our peo
ple formerly m ule momiy are not growiim.
Before the war the people of the North did
not pay anything like as high wages lor
while labor as some of the military "regU-
lalionsS ii iv“ sought to establish lor negro
labor nt the South.
The monthly Wages of female house ser
vants at the North before tins iallutiou ot tho
currency, was from $5 to $7 per month, and
neither ololhiug nor medical attendance pro
vided for. For field laborers the price was
§8 to $12 per month, with food only found,
and the laborers only employed a fraction
ol the year at that. This was really not
more than $o or $ii per month for the "first
elass" negro would be, allowing him wages
for the whole year, and clothing and giving
him medical attention.
\Ye saw, a lew days since, in an article
urging Northern capitalists to engage iu the
work ol raising cotton at the South, a calcu
lation made as to the cost per pound. It
computed the wages of the negroes lor only
nine months iu the. year. Every cotton
planter knows that this will not ilo; it is a
common saying among them tlfat, "it takes
thirteen mouths in tlicyearto make cotton,”
‘and it is quite certain that it takes the full
year. Besides, it would lie not only cruel
hut greatly demoralizing to the, negro to
give him work lor only nine mouths iu the
year. This, ol it sell, would ruin the busi
ness ol any company undertaking to raise
cotton iu that way, mid it would so'break
up the arrange in mis ol tile plantation as to
require thu constant procurement of now
and miknowq hands. The negro must bo
provided with a homo ami employment (or
the year round, and all things' necessary for
liis uomlort and health must lie provid
eil as a part ot lii.s compensation—with
many of them Such provision is all or very
nearly' all that their labor is at any time
worth to tlm employer—or that stability ami
continuity of jnjbor noee*Bry to tffl success
ful raising of cotton cannot be secured

PKOBABLK EXmoriUX OF TIIK
XKtiUO It ACE,
Wc have already shown by statistics col
looted before the civil war began, aud by
reasonings Oil those statistics compiled by
the census bureau before the Emancipation
proclamation was published, that the negro
population of the United Stales tferc likely
lo follow (though at a .'dower pace) iu the
same road by Which our Indian tribes arc
advancing to certain extinction. Wc art* now
to show that emancipation will hasten this
result.
A part of our proof must still depend on
the figures ot the census report. Between
the year ltf-50 and 181)0 the free negro pop
ulatlnu of our northern cities deqllued; and
the total idcrcase ol the whole tree negro
population ot the country was less than halt
hs great, in proportion, as the increaso of
the slaves; and this in spile of the fact that
the tree negroes were recruited fry large
numbers nt'manumitted and tugitivu slaves.
These tacts prove that, a slate of freedom
checks the growth •>) the negro popula'io’u
There was perhaps never a people so fa
vorubly situated for allowing the procrou
live principle its fullest vigor as were the
negroes in a state of slavery. In a slate of
trculoift many men do not marry nt uii, and
many others defer man iage till a late peri
od, from doubts of their inability to support
a family. Among the slaves, this pruurn
tial check had no’place; or to exprest it in
Malthusian language population never press
ed upon the means ot subsistence. The
slave population has, accordingly multiplied
without any interposition of tho voluntary
check. But even in this condition, the in
crease oft he slaves was leas than two-thirds
as great in proportion, as that of the whit
population of the country; the wliitrs increas
tug 88 per cent, and the slaves a little mme
than "j per e nt. A part ot the dispart-y U
due lo|whic imiuigistion; bat tho d:ff

The chief (nose is, iimbm'itt'dly, the li
cautious huhils of tlm tn-gr h*h. Oi Die ci

This piogpny of »i If-cotivicled lioutujouH-
ueBH prove, by implication, the illegitimacy
of at least qii equal proportion ol ttie pure
blacks; I'm- il is not lo be supposed that the
nfgrctvKH practice morn vii'ue toward their
own race than toward thu whites. This li
centiousness operates as mi immedRfto cheek
on population by rendering the teiualcB less
prolific; and as a remote, hut inureilUrtunt
check, by reason ol the diminished tenacity
of existence of a mulatto stock. It lms
been shown by researches in tin* West In
dies, aud confirmed by the rcsultn of obser
vatinu everywhere, llniL mulatloos seldom
propagate beyond the third generation; and
that, even in the first generation, they are
move subject to disease, with a larger pro
portionate mortality, thuu pure-blooded ne
groes. While,therefore,theS m hernslave's
wore more favorably situated for procrea
tion than any other pe<ple that ever existed,
their moral degradation was a more power
ful check than tlio difficulty of supporting
a family, and const queut postponement ot
marriage, among our while population.
Noav that the negroes are free, the chock
on their inorvaso wliieli has heretofore ox»
isteil will be reinforced by tin* prudential
cheek* Tlm preference given by the em
ployers of labor to the more energetic aud
capable while races, will keep Die negro
population constantly pressing upon (lie
means ol auhsiSffeneo: and ibis, the greatest
and most certain of all cheeks lo population,
will begin at once to nut on the negroes with
a force and sTeadiiiess nnlclt by any other
class of the people of the United States—
When our population becomes dense, ami
its rapid progress is arrested by thu causes
which operate in old countries, the feeblest
will first; and the decaying rumiiuiits then
left of the uegroes will easily succumb!
What we have described would take
place, even if emancipation had been grad
ual and prepared for by wise precautions.—
But its Muddeuucss, and the general destitu
tion prevailing in the South at the time it
takes places, will terribly aggravate its evils
and accelerate the steps by which the ne
groes are doomed to extinction, Perhaps
one-third of the emancipated are children,
incapable, under any circumstances, of tak
ing care of themselves. Thrown loose,
without protectors, in the very crisis of a
destitution amounting iu large sections, to
dearth, they will be swopt away by snores
of thoufflhds, their parents in many cases
perishing with them. This work ot destruc
tion is already proceeding with great rapid
ity. The derangement ot Southern indus
try is so great that little will be Raised this
year, and the nejpt yeur will also be a year
of scarcity iu tlie South. A people above
all others unfitted to struggle with difficul
ties, commence their life of freedom in a
state of absolute beggary, and in a; commu
nity which has wasted all its resources 'in a
long aval'. A more unfavorable combina
tion of circumstances cannot be imagined.—
The figures o( the next census may, there
fore, be expected to tell a fearful tale ot ex
termination.
from the New York Evening I\nt,
Sl'FFRAOB IN BNOLAND,
On the 8th of May a great debate occurred
in the British Parliament upon the question
of an extension of the suffrage to a more
nnmerons class ot working men.
Tin* right to vote is at present confined in
Great Britain to cerlaiu classes ot the popu
lation. Under present regulations, occu
pants of houses ot the yearly value of jCIO
are electors in the towns, and a correspond
ing class iu the comities. The proposal de
bated in Parliament avas to give the suffrage
to £6 house holders, and thus to admit a
largo number ol the working men,
With these limitations the voters in Great
Britain, in a population ot over thirty-one
millions, auiouuted in 18li t to 1,833,090;
but our Presidential vote in 1801) numbered
4,002,170, with a population, if we leave off
the three and a hull millions then slaves,
three millions less. The distribution of these
electors in different districts is somewhat
singular. Wales returns one member oi
Parliament for every 1,800 voters; Scotland
one for every 1,939; Ireland one for every
1,938, and England one for every 2,073,
One const ittienoy, or district as we would
call it, that ol London, returns tour mem
bers; it has 17,393 voters. But it is not
this yt'eat electoral strength wliich'gives it
four representatives, tor another with 20,000
voters sends but three members; and an
other with less titan 5,000 voters sends three
also. The West Riding of Yorkshire, witli
40;47G voters, sends but tavo representatives;
Manchester, with over 20,000, sends but
two; twenty two districts which send two
members each to Parliament, do so with
less than 0,000 voters;* and six have less
than 200 voters, yet send two members
each, Ol the 140 districts which send one
member each, two have more than 5,000
voters; fourteen have less than 300; five
have less than 200, and three—all Irish —
havu respectively 140, 145, and 103.
One halt the House of Commons is re
turned by leas than fourteen per cent. of % thu
whole number of voters, under this some
what arbitrary aud irrcgulaa system. If the
ten electoral counties of Westmoreland,
lvviutingdimshire, Hntlnnshire, West Cum
berland, North Cumberland. South Shrop
shire, West Hnsae^, West Worcestershire,
and North and South Wiltshire, wore rolled
into one, their united population would be
less than that of the WeBt Riding of York
shire by 01*7,435, and their nulled constitu
cnees be 8,801 behind that powerful county
division. Yet the teu return twenty mem
bers to the West Riding’s modest two 1" says
an English writer, commenting on this state
of things:
Portarlingtou, which semis one member,
has but 10(1 voters. Each of these 100 happy
and Influential men, exercise as much power
iu the House of Commons as 44 voters ol
Edinburg, 47 of Dublin, 83 of London, 103
of Maucnestet, 147 in the Tower Hamlets,
or 180 in West Yorkshire.
Mr. Ackland, iu whoso " Imperial Poll
Rook" these figures are to he found, sug
gests that every member Bhonld represent,Tn
the House, an equal number ot electors;
hut until this reiorm can he introduced, he
thinks that the votes of members should
count prnpnriinunbly to Die number ol their
constituents. A writer in Chambers’ Jour
nal commenting on this, remarks that in such
a case “the Smoulaj Secretary’s vote would
lie tour times as much as that of the Home
Secretary; the Chancellor ot the Exebeque
would count for eight times as much as the
Pr inter; thu divisional value of tho Judge
Advocate General would he uoarly three
times that of the Board of Trade; and one
or two Undersecretaries would considers
by outweigh the headset their den&rUnunts

Attempt to Asubsunate the Pope.—
The Rome c it respondent of tho London
Register reports tho following curious story:
You w ill punuil me to tell you something
that is very astonishing. It may be that
the matter is not a repl truth, but so many
of thu Illuatrissiini here believe it, that it is
hard for any ouo to put it down as a fiction;
Not long ago, a tall, very well dressed aud
most gentlemanly looking person Tailed at
the Vuticau, on business with tho Pope;
To [tie officer ot the palace, who came to
see what lie wauled, be said he came on
in important errand to the Pontiff, and tha'
his commission was to announce to him in
person, and without a third party being
present. The officer, who was a Chamber'
Uin, iiilortucd him that he demanded an
nmisua! thing, amt consequently that bin
rr quest could uol be entertained.
Tho stranger made a new aiaiirance ot
the political and religious importance of bis
message, aim be did so earnest ty and pleas
anlly, that tho Chamberlain consented to
see the Pope himself, and tell him what
was at hand.
The Cbuinberluiu, therefore, went to see
the Popn; ho found him al-mu on his knees
iu solemn devotion. Haviug waited a little,
ho informed the Pontiff of what was going
oil, and the latter, still on his kneir; replied:
"It is no use for me to see a dead man."—
This answer was perfectly uninlelliglbie to
the Chumberiaiu, hut it caused him lo think
lie encroached, and he withdrew. On en
tering the uutc-chambur, where he had left
the stranger, he fouud him dead on the
II mr, and Die folds of his clothiug were
louiid lo conceal a dagger aud n loaded
pistol.

Worhl well reinai Jts:
ThiB transition from the martial to civil
reyime is gratifying to all. Gen. Weilztl
ami his colored troops have gone, and but
a small garrison in left. Yet, small us it Is,
il iH large enough. Wo are of the opinion
Dial ihc smaller the garrisons throughout
tho interior towns nt the South the better.
Thu presence of soldiers, iu large bodies,
puts a stop to enterprises of legitimate
trade. O.ipilalisis are tearful, aud society
is disturbed. A small guard will be neces
sary, but the sooner the post-offices, the
railroads, steamboats, courts, and public of
fices are placed under the control of the
civil officers the sooner will plenty follow.
