But let him put in and keep in only such men as he shall find capable and worthy, weeding out the other sort without fear or favor, and he will prove amost encrgetic and efficient Collector. i ————— te motive Dr. Sayre, late resident physician, denies the state- ment made by Dr. Stone, of the Health Board, that there were 21 deaths in November and December last, at Ward's Lsland, from cholera.

The Union State Committee have therefore issued an Address to the People, wherein they say H r ourselves, disclaiming all desire to provoke now agi- tations, of to renew old ones, or (o pursue in any spirit of mero veug and the conntry, we look only to the adoption of such a policy as will certainly securo to us the legitimate rosulis of the dwul{ ry, by which, at the last, loyalty trinmphed over treason in the fiek! of battie. As a matter of plain com- . all of us know that the mere overthrow of that mon_sens Kreat tresson by force of arms did not ehange the sympathies of a sivgle person who in any way aided or countenanced it at only the character, not the spirit, of s hins censed ndwus of the Rebel urce of our present danger is that we no looger coufront it under its former colors, but under specious dis- guises well calculated to deceive us at tho first g T this State it is now arrayed under the name of the ' tird' party, after having for years been the ally of the radieal destructionists of the South—of those who would not have, left one stome upon another in our g 4 moat had they been successful. In the hope of dividing the Union strength, and thus gaining power, it suits this p profess the most ultra support of the President and his pe reatoration. It denounces as ‘Kadicals'the true men Who stood by the Government when this party waa standing by the acy, simply because these true men are determised to er and fufluence Rebels who resigned their positions under the Government in order to attempt the Qissolution of the Union.

I Stephens, as printed clse. where, will be read with a pecaliar interest. The second officer in the Confederacy—but always re- garded as areluctant Rebel—possessing the confidence of the good men of the South more thoroughly than any of their leaders, bis words have more than ordi- | nary meaning. He tells us that an overruling major- | ity of the people of Georgia are now willing to accept the results of the war in all their fullness, to become loyal citizens, and abandon forever any claim to ex ercise the right of Secession. That experiment is a failure, and if nothing else deterred them, the memory of the dreadful war would be suflicient. Emancipa tion is accepted by the people in good faith. The ne- groes desire to work, and the relations between em- ployer and employé are as satisfactory as in any part of the world, Other portions of Mr. Stephens'’s tes. timony seem to strengthen the idea generally preva. lent in the North that Georgia and other States in the South were forced into Secession by the Rebel leaders. As to suffrage in the South, Mr. Stephens assures us that a proposition to extend it to the negroes would not be adopted in Georgia. His cwn idea of a limited suffrage is very grateful, as an evidence of enlightenment on the part of Southern statesmen, which we hope to find more general. The hopes of regeneration in the South must depend to some extent upon such men as Stephens and Reagan. Their course now, in the face of public sentiment, shows the error of the President when he failed to ac- cept the golden moment succeeding Lee's surrender. That mistake Lhas made the work of reconstruction weary and difficult. 'With Congress strennous and bold in behalf of nationality, with leaders like Stephens, willing to lead the Southern people in the 7 advasee tQwand those who so long and so deeply wronged the State | rotection, marched with | tray the country iuto | perfoct Union, a Union of freedom and peace, and founded upon the brotherhood of man. With Andrew Johnson's aid the work would have been easy and harmonious. —_—_— CARLYLE'S ADDRESNS, The installation of Mr. Carlyle as Lord Roctor of Edinburgh University is an event very different from commonplace celebrations and ceremonies of that kind. The offices of Rector and Chanecllor in the British Universities are, for the most part, bonorary, and are filled by men of political and the like celebrity. Carlyle's predecessor at Edinburgh was Mr. Gladstone; Mr. Disraeli was his competitor; while Osford has the Earl of Derby for Chancellor, and the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and Prince Albert have all in their time held similar posi- inburgh breaks the custom, and honors her- indeed tions. self by paying her highest honor to one who her most distinguished son, but whose distinction pro- ceeds i no respect from politics or war. There is | something that touches both the heart and the repre- imagination in the return of Carlyle, as t! sentative of English Literature, to the Uui which he entered, a boy of fourteen, fifiy-six years ago. The occasion, memorable in self, is made still more impressive by the address which he deliv- ered upon his installation. We print it this morning in full. It happens to many a man to be best known by the worst things he has said and done. We fear that by & great number of American readers Carlyle is remem- bered for his dislike to us and our Government. The lless affront of the **Ilias in Nuce" alienated a good deal of regard which had survived the ah- stract and theoretical statements, frequent in Carlyle’s writings, in opposition to the Democratic principle. All the indignation we felt was just; yet we can well afford to forget it all. which The incaleulable servie Carlyle for thirty years past has done us is not by disgust at his failure to merits of our struggle for We should pay a poor com- to be outweighed understand the nationality and liberty. pliment to the intellig, readers if we did not suppose that they will heartily joice at the honor which Edinburgh accords to Lit- ature in her choice of Carlyle as its foremost name, do we beli t possible to read his address with- out profoundly feeling its genuine tone, its hearty Ly with the young men who listened to it, its tenderness, its sound views on brilliant excursions many tilled by its author heretofore, and it and humor, its pr M. its its into fields | by him only, its common sense, and fitness to the oce remember to have heard Mr. Emerson, just after the first volume of Carl Frederick was published, | describe it in a lecture or was written.” Readers of Frederick know that the encomium was well deserved, and we are in- clined to transfer it to this speech, Lan hour and a half, the wise and eloquent old man 5 crowded the experience and the learning of a Atudious lifetime, yet speaks to the young men about him as if he were nearer to them than to the 4 and with a sympathy and kindly interest in {mr fature which goes to the heart. What is the function of & University ? What is the secret of a right education? Those are the questions which he undortakes to answer, The topics treated re such as the faculty and professors of every college }l to consider practically, What books ought to be Jd—what ought a University to try to do with lhu)mmx men who come to it for instruction? Itis onef the values of a great man that he able to discourse profitably on such commonplace topics, In » is no straining after originality when such a man the he has to deal with matters where not originality but experience is the thing wanted. Carlyle is content to recommend to students to be diligent; to dothe task set them thoroughly: to learn how to read and study. He believes the function of a University to be some- thing quite ditferent from instructing those who flock to it in special departments of study—to be good la yers, or theologians, or savans, “1 consider” s Me, “ the very highest interests of man vitally in trusted to them.
