The Ricbmoud “We are
beginning anew era, and must bare new
ideaa and new men*’ Very true, no
donbt, says the Memphis Bulletin , but
it does not follow that we would approve
the Constitutional Amendment. The
people must be trusted to select their
own representatives. If unwise in this,
they are the sufferers. The country,
the people must learn, has undergone a
thorough revolution. Whole systems of
industry have been overturned, nnd new
ideas and habits of thought and action
must be adopted. To groan, to whine,
or curse, is all in vain. We most accept
the inevitable. The South—the great
body of its thinking people—were less
culpable for the evils of the hour than
Northern partisans; but the inquiry has
nothing to do with the question before
ns. We now enter upon new modes of
existence, and the sooner we adapt our
physical and moral habits to inexorable
facts, seising information from every
quarter, and divesting ourselves of pre
judices with which the wisest are imbued
by partisan controversies of former
years, the hetter for us and those who
may five after us.
Our repining*, complaints, ill-con
cealed discontent, and those occasional
explosions of fury, designed to entrap
the admiration of the thoughtless, hardly
excite derision. Think how powerful
the North hasbeeome. Count its navies
and armies. Estimate its fabulous
wealth. Measure its railways. Count
its cities and number their inhabitants.
The North is conscious of its boundless
power. These poor, desolnte States—
some of them, if sold at auction, would
not bring as much money as the two
sides of Broadway—these impoverished
States, disarmed, and their people strug
gling for bread, neither excite the enmi
ty nor jealousy of the imperial North.
The South is simply a shuttlecock, with
which politicians are playing a game
that involves pilfering of the Treasury
and the gratification of vaulting ambi
tion. We are very poor, very helpless,
and have nothing left us save honor
won by men who bore mnskets against
destiny.
Let us, then, meet our fate bravely.
We can easily measure it. There is
transformation of habits, subdivisions of
estates, reform in modes of agriculture,
divestiture of prejudices—these are
“amendments’’ which we must adopt.
Those ethers that we read about con
cern the politicians of to day and our
posterity forever. Let these dispose of
them. Let us hoe corn and dig pota
toes, and attend to all the great produc
tive interests of our section. It is the
part of wisdom and will prove the part
of profit.
The Bankrupt Bill.—lt is an
nounced that tfie Bankrupt Bill, which
passed the House of Representatives at
the last session of Congress, is now
before the Senate, and will soon be
acted upon by that body. Senator
Poland, of Vermont, has taken it in
charge, and among those who are
urging its adoption are Senators John
son and Sumner, which shows that the
question is free from any connection
with political considerations, and comes
before Congress upon its own merits.
The World says the bill has been pre
pared with great care, to prevent dis
honest men from taking advantage of
it, its object being to enable honest
men, who have been victimized by the
late war, to resume business. We sin
cerely hope that favorable action will be
taken upon the matter, and that speed
ily. We heartily concur in the opinion
expressed by p cotempomry. that a wise
law adopted for permanent operation to
enable the bankrupt to liberate himself
from the tbrahloin of debt, after the
honest surrender of all the property he
holds, would be productive of great
benefit to the active and industrious,
while it would cherish the energy and
inspire the hope of men who have the
courage and industry to begin life anew
after the disasters of war and trade
have bereft them of properly.
The freedmen have been busy since
the first ol the mouth in procuring cm
ployment—those that are willing to hire.
Many, however, exhibit predilections for
silting up “upon their own hook,’’ on
farms and in shops, etc., and the new
year has, we think, clearly developed the
fact that the number of freedmeu iu the
District has decreased considerably in
the last twelve months, many having
gone West for richer lauds and higher
wages. The influx into the District ol
this class of population has not near
mad« up the number moving out.—

How to tiro in ****••
An American writes to Philadelphia,
from Paris, aa follows < '
“An immenle number Os American*
are expected next spring, and hotel and
restaurant keepers anticipate rich pick
ings. And perhaps a few woids ot ad'
vice to such df yOnr readers ns intend to
come may not be out of place in tkyi
connection. If the party is a single
man, sud haa no disposition to be unne
cessarily floe cod, he hod better, on his
arrival, give his banker au order te find
him a sleeping room in a convenient
part of the city, say within three or four
squares of the Hotel do Louvre, or the
Grand Hotel, or of the lower end of the
Boulevard dee Italiens. At this time
furnished rooms can be obtained in these
localities at low rotes —some of them of
small sire, being procurable for twelve
francs -a mouth, including attendance.
It is all folly for a man to put up at
either one of the big hotels, at a cost for
rooms of from live to forty francs a day,
and to dine at the table d'hote for three
or four times the price iliat would be
charged him for a good meal at a re
spectable restnurant. But His not the
thing, exactly, to patronize the restau
rants in the Boulevards, for they are
gotten up in grand style, and some of
them are said to pay 200,000 francs a
year reut—consequently, their charges
are high, and one doesn’t get any better
dinner for eight or ten francs at the
Restaurant Foy or Maison Doree than
he could get at Kingsley’s, in your city,
for half the money. 9
“A short distance, however, from
either of the Boulevards, in any given
direction, are numerous restaurants
that set very good tables at reasonable
prices—say fifteen to twenty cents for
breakfast, and twenty five cents to a half
dollar for dinner. A dinner in almost
any oi these places for a quarter of a
dollar, consists ot a dish of soup, half a
pint of moderately good claret, two
plates of meat, one plate of vegetables'
and about half a pound of first-rate
bread. Desert and coffee would’cost
ton cents extra.
I was in Paris nearly six weeks be
fore 1 learned how to get a cheap break
fast or dinner, but was finally posted by
agood Samaritan in the shape of a New
Yorker, who was frank enough to say to
me one day, npon learning that I had
just paid away seven francs and a half
for a dinner at the Trois Freres, that I
was a bigger fool than he had given me
credit for being. Re further said that
his dinners were very fair, and that they
usually cost him a franc each, although
he was occasionally extravagant enough
to pay a franc and a half.
At his request I dined with him next
day, at a small but neatly kept restau
rant, in the Faubourg Montmatte, and
the price for both dinners was three
francs and twenty-five centimes—sixty
five cents. There was as much on the
table as we felt like eating, and the
cooking was done to a turn. Since
then I have eaten at the same place, at
an average daily expense ot about forty
five cents, exclusive of ten cents for the
inevitable cup of black coffee and cognac
in the early morning—a beverage which
every Parisian and nearly every sojourn
er in Paris appear to consider the next
thing to the undiscovered elixir of life.
Report of the Freedmen’s Bureau.
The following communication was
sent to the Senate on Thursday by the
Secretary of War:
War Department, 1
Bureau of Refugees,Freedmen.etc., >
Washington, Dec. ill. 1866. )
Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War :
Sir —ln response to the resolution of
Congress, asking for the reports of the
Assistant Commissioners of this Bureau,
together with a synopsis of the local
laws respecting persons of color ns they
now exist in the late slate States, I
would respectfully submit the enclosed
reports :
The questions from this office to the
Assistant Commissioners with reference
to the population of freedinen in the
South have been only partially answered.
In Virginia the freedmen have decreased
in number. 'J he estimated population
at this date is 500 000. In North Caro
lina it is estimated the population at
this date is 860,000.
In South Carolina the number of
freedmen has decreased, being estimated
at 375,000. Georgia is estimated at
400,0007 Florida fias remained about
the same as when the census of 1860
was taken, being 62,677. In Mississippi
a census has been taken since the close
of the war, showing a slight decrease ;
320,000 is the aggregate colored' popu
lation of the State.
In Louisiana no change is reported.
The number is 350,000. In Texas the
Assistant Commissioner reports an in
crease. The colored population is es
timated at 200.000. In Missouri it is
represented that the freedinen have left
the Suite in large numbers for Kansas,
lowa, etc. It is estimated that the col
ored population has decreased about
100,000. In Tennessee the Assistant
Commissioner estimates an increase
from 282,000 in 1860 to 300,000.
The reports of all the Assistant Com
missiouers transmitted to this time had
not been received when I made my
report to Congress. The Assistant
Commissioners of the States of Louis
iana, Florida, and Arkansas, report an
increased disposition on the part ol the
freedmen to take advantage of the
Homestead AcJ»
The decision of one of the District
Judges in the State of Missouri, thut
the "Civil Rights Bill was unconstitu
tioual, has no doubt robbed the colored
people of privileges iuteiwUd to be
secured to them by that law. It will be
suen from these reports that tho ma
chinery of tho Civil Rigl ts Bill is not
in full operation in some portions of the
country, for many criminals that ought
to be brought to trial under that bill
gre ullarge.
The Assistant Commissioners gener
ally favor the present contract system.
The freedmen are reported as having in
most cases faithfully performed their
obligations. 1 ntn glad to be able to
report that employers have, as a general
thing, settled with the freedmen in ac
cordance with the term* of their con
tracts ; yet when any of them have failed
to do so the State laws have not in all
cooes afforded to the freed Men the proper
remedies’aed protection.
I eat) special attention to the vagrant
laws of tho State* of Maryland, Geore
ght, Mitwtastppi, Louisiana and Texaa.
_ The small time allowed after the ex
pire'i in of one contract before a person
must enter another to escape vagrancy
will occasion practical slavery. The
arrest ot assembled parties Os vagrants
upon information given by any party,
his trial by a Justice of the Peace, and
the sale of his invoices at public outcry
for payment of the fine and costs, with
out limit ns to time, whipping, nnd
working in chain Bangs, present some of
the obnoxious features of these irregular
laws.
..Ism sir, very respectfully, your obe
dient servant, 0. O. Howard,
Major General and Commissioned
Gkkmax Studknt Lifk.—Student life
at the great universities of Germany,
such as Halle, Gottingen, Munich, Jen*,
is exceedingly cheap. A letter writer
from Munich says:
The temporal needs of the German
Btudents sre few and easily supplied.—
Two hundred florins ($80) will carry
him through the ten months of his at
tendance. lie rents a cheap room in a
cheap locality in the city, for which
$2.50 per month is a large prigqdo pay.
In the morning he seeks out a “condi
torel,” or an eating-bouse, and takes a
cup of black coffee and a twist, (frj cts.,)
or a “schoppen” of beer (2 cents). :
At noon he orders soup, then “rind
fleisch’’ (Iresh beef boiled as dry as
dust), and sour krout, or some other
vegetable that will serve ns a basis for
vinegar (9} cents), and concludes the
day with a coll joint, and a salad or a
“schoppen" of beer, and a piece of
black bread (2# cents). Au additional
hundred florins will insure him his
matutinal coffee, and add a third course
to his dinner, besides substituting, now
and, then, an English roast of the thigh
ot an occasional goose for his dry meat.
It will also improve the quality of his
segars, for the German student will
smoke his long pipe or a segar, and
carry a cane topped with a right angle
of ivory, whether he has two hundred
florins or five hundred. The shawl
which the poorer student carries over
his right shoulder three months in aygar,
and wears in regular style six months,
as also the umbrella, which he must
carry as soon as there is a greater space
of clouds than of clear sky, are brought
home, and cost little. If he should
require anew suit it would cost but
$11.50.
A Crows or Thorns, “Who
wouldn’t wear a crown ?" asked the
editor of the Boston Post, and by way
of enforcing his question, he refers to
the wretched condition of many of the
rulers of the earth. Napoleon has a
painful disease; Victor Emmanuel a
paralyzed right arm ; Bismarck is con
stantly ill; Maximilian is almost a
fugitive, and his Empress, Carlotta, is
insane; the Queen of Spain daily con
templates dethronement; the King of
Hanover is kingdomless ; his Queen
and the Empeior ot Austria are said
both to have had their hair turned grey
by trouble within a week’s time ; the
Pope weeps day and night; and Victo
ria is the victim of a confirmed melan
choly. Who would wear a crown ?
And in addition to this, when we think
the President of the United Stales has
his life almost badgered out of him by
politicians, pardon-seekers, and needy
aspirants for office, to the query may be
added—Who would b'e one of the rulers
of the earth, be it in kingdom or re
public, and pay the fearful cost 7
A Reminiscence of 1861.—Things
have slightly changed since the 22d of
April, 1861, when Secretary Seward
wrote the following to Minister Dayton
at Paris:
“I need not furiher elaborate the pro
position that the revolution is without a
cause, it has not even a pretext. It is
just as clear that it is without an object.
Moral and physical causes have deter
mined inflexibly the character of each
one of the Territories over which the
dispute has arisen, and both parlies after
the election harmoniously agreed to all
the Federal laws required for their or
ganization. 'Hie Territories-wilt remain
in all respects the same, whether the
revolution shall succeed or shall fail.
There is not even a pretext for the com
plaint that the disaffected States are to
be conquered by the United States if the
revolution (ails; for the rights of the
States, and the condition of every being
in them, will remain subject to exactly
the same laws and forms of administra
tion, whether the revolution shall sue"
ceed or whether it shall fnil. In the
one case, the States would be Federally
connected with the new Confederacy •
in the other they would,* as now, be
members of the Un'ted States ; but their
constitutions and laws, customs, habits
nnd institutions, in either case, will re
main the same.
The Freedmen.—Gen. Howard and
suite, of the Freed men's Bureau, arrived
in this city on Saturday, and since that
time have been visiting the colored pop
ulation und examining into their condi
tion. Last night the fieedinen turned
out in large numbers, with torches, ban
ners, transparencies, etc., and escorted
tho General mid party to the African
Church, where several addresses were
delivered. General Howard advised
them to remain where they were—that
inducements were held out to them to
emigrale to other States, but thut re
moval's iTefe always troublesome, and
often very far from advantageous. He
advised them to be industrious and
übido by their contracts ; impressed upon
them the importance of education,
stHliug that, throughout the Southern
States, there were now over 150,000 col
ored children being educated, and con
cluded his remarks with patriotic expres
sions, which created considerable feeling
among the dusky nuditory, —Columbia
Pheenix,
Bkecueb on Dancing. —He says:
“Do not hesitate to dauoe among your
own family and friends, wider the sup
position that it is wrong. It is certainly
your liberty, and it is right and whole
some. Some young ladies asked me,
‘Who may we reckon as within the
cirple of eur family P Whoever is near
enough to you to sslnte you is in your
fsmtfy, and all others may be safely
considered os not in yow family. Yow
brothers, and sisters, and cousins, and
those with whom yon maintain your
relations like unto those which exists in
the household, you may regard as
within your family circle. But I think
that if a person wants to know the
truth, he will find no difficulty in
making the proper demarcation in this
regard.”
