Steadman's mission will be productive of much good if it can bring us a few more reports like this of the intelligence and dignity which he finds among the blacks of the South, NORTH AND SOUTH-LET US UNDER- NSTAND, There ia at present a general and laudable desire among the better portion of the Southern Whites to be fully and fairly comprebended at the North, In- stead of the old formulas—** If you don't stop talking that way, we will withdraw our trade and starve you,” or “If we can ever catch youon our soil, we will bang you," Southerners say, *‘ Hear and understand us at the North!" Had this apirit prevailed six to ten years ago, it would have saved the blood and desolation of a terrible war. Let it be upheld and encouraged, and we shall never have another such calamity. The Christian Index, Atlanta, Georgia, insists that the South is not understood at the North, and, in order that it may be, sets forth what it deems the real sentiment of the South in an article which we hero copy by request, to render it as conspicuous as we may. Itis as follows: 4 POUR MISTAKES. The great obstacle to reconstruction in Church and State, in fact and in_ foeling, lies in mutual misunderstanding of the facts in_regard to esch other by the Northeru and Bouthern people. 17 the truth were known at the North os to what is said, and done, and thoaght, aud felt in these Southern States, we beliove that a controlling number of the people thero would be inclined to extand to us such treatment as we Qesire and as we thivk wo deserve. Thore are four loading which wo think th udgmonts of us are entire- it they could be correctly fuformed on these ieve that & vast stride would be made toward ‘With a sineere desire to do good to our fellow- Father in Heaven, we procead to men- aod 10 put on record our solemn testi- real peace, men, and to glorify tion these four thin mony in regard to them, First : It is believed at the North that the people hers con- sider the late dispute still unsottied; that they are anxious for anothier oprortunity to resort toarms; and that thoy are ready and ripe to avail themselves of the first occasion to make ano- th;r iuurb(o! independenoce. P Al this our Northern friends are ontirel " Thore is not word of truth in it. h-n-.; ’?..’-.'é'.!'fi'.’.'.‘u of whom it not say that there are none; but we ¢ know of none and have heard of nons. The people hers are not thinking sbout srms nor about independence; the ideas for which the war was fought are considered obsolete and are seldom spoken of. The great iden with almost every one is to take care of himself and improve his own condition. Kevolution is, of all things, tho furtbest from their wishes or thoughts. Second : It ia believed at the North that th s horo u gen- eral disposition to persecute the negro race, aud, 1if ible, to reénsl . othing cad be further from the truth. Daring the war the slaves for the most part stood by their mastors, labored for therm withoat overseers in thousutds of instances, and sympa- thized with them and sustained thewm in eve; ble way to the last, Bince the war, they have conducted themselves with a degreo of propriety whioh, under tho circumstances, is & wonder to the wogld. These things inoreased ::'Hu nens of feclings whiob were kind before, andthe ne, held in higher estimation at the South tuis dav than it ever has been.

The peonts of the North have been lonn‘-r‘ $old that the opposite of all to believe what we tell them; but the facts are as we state. % Third : It is believed at the North. the momont the thern lo are clothed with political pows will use thelr influence for the intion of the Wo Lave never heard this scheme p ma, aud it probably would never Lave l& wo had not ved the 0 enoug o to sustain the Government nnder which we expeot to live. ‘Fuurth: 1t Ia blleved at the Nort that the Soathern people, 1f Iuvested with political power, would endeavor to force ui the Government the assumption of the debt of the late U foderagy. *Wo tfo not bolieve that tia idea ever entered istetho wil droam of the most visonary man in Bouthern .J.“.i:' We have never heard the subject mentiomed, except with ridi. cule, and, a8 in the promllr case, we believe It never would bave beou mentioned at all, il it had not been thrust upon var attention by the Northern press. 1f the people at the North could only know the truth in re- gard to the four poluts above spokeu of, we belie at o would hulu&uu change 1n public nd in iblic feeling there, and that the result would be a of frieadly relations aud of material prosperity. will see these lines; of those who see , some, we have no doubt, will believe all wo bave said, for some of them know that our testimony can be relied on; some, wo fear, will say'that we willfully falsify; and others will probably say that wo mistaken a8 10 the facts, We I t our evidence to tell us what and if they domand evidence, vk we can pledge i 50, let them Inder, Atlanta, ?.‘w‘?fl.“'d’q'flm""""“‘““ publicly or pri- Comments by The Tribu 1. We are quite sure that The Indez is right in dis- claiming for the South any desire or purpose to re light the flames of Civil War. The experience of the 1ate War is too recent and terrible. Yet we see that the South is constantly and powerfully incited to do that very thing in a different way but in the same spirit. She is openly urged by Northern Copperheads to send Benators and Representatives to Congress, who will take seats by forco and violence in defiance of the law of the land, and thus constitute an opposition or mondwnmu. which will Involve the country afrosh in the horrors of intestine convulsion and war. We entreat The Indez to watch and warn sgainst this project. Itis certain, if pressed to realisation, to deluge the land in fraternal blood, to no good end whatever. II. We quite agree with The Inder that the better portion of the Southern Whites do not mean or wish to oppress the Blacks, Yet this rather negative good feeling does not shield nor save the Blacks from intol- erable wrongs and oppressions, as wo have lately seen at Memphis and other points. The low-bred South- rons do love to oppress and abuse the Blacks; and the better class do not actively interfere to protect them; and they never will so long as the laws of the South are not just and equal. So long as the South allows the most ignorant and vicions White foreigner to become a citizen and a voter after a fow years' residence, and denies those same privileges to intelligent, exemplary Blacks born on her soil, she never will and never can be just to two-fifths of her people. That “Blacks have no rights that Whites are bouud to respect,” is an axiom ingrained in the very core of Southern society and jurisprndence. The Index doubtless thinks the Blacks of Georgia bave all the rights of Whites except thoso of voting, holding office, and sitting on juries (rather important exceptions!) but it is mistaken. If a Black, having a case in a Georgia court, wished his own brother to appear for him as counsel in that court, it would not be allowed. And this is but one instance out of many of the inequality and injustice of the laws of Georgia. That they have been and would still be worse, if Presi- dent Johnson had not insisted on [meliorations, The Index cither knows or can learn. The facts that pure and refined Northern womea, who go South to teach Dblack children, are very generally treated with hostility by the Whites, refused board in their families, and often in- sulted and abused, and that negro school-houses have been burnt by scores, and in widely separated locali- ties, and that, while hundreds (at least) of Blacks have been murdered by Whites in the South since the War ended, and not one of the murderers convicted and punished as such by the civil authority, are con- clusive on this head. s IIL We accept what The Indez says of the National and Confederate Debts respectively, as proof that many Southern Whites feel and mean justly and loy- ally with regard to them; but Gov. Wise is also a Southron, and his recent proclamation that ** Green- backs will soon be worthless” is testimony quite as cogent and significant as that of The Inder. Each represents, doubtless, s phase of Southern opinion. Wo fear those who hold with Wise are by far the bolder party. —Finally, we wizh, on the main point, to go further than The Indez. It assures us that the South does not intend nor seck to break out of the Union. We agree to this, and add that a majority of the Southern Whites mever did, before they were maddened by lies and bloodshed, wish the Union dissolved. The revolutionary party in the South was never more than a daring, unscrupulous, domineering minority, until the Southern heart was “fired” to madness by the bombardment of Fort Sumter, But there is just such winority in the South to-day; and it is #s likely to clutch and misuse power in the future as in the past. We entreat The Inder, with all {riends of Peace, to keep an eye on this cabal, and be prepared to counteract its machinations. . THNE REIGN OF TERBOR IN TEN. NESSEE. The following letter was sent to Gen. Schenck at Washington, and forwarded to us with permission to publish it. Wo have Gen. Schenck's authority for saying that it is from a perfectly trustworthy and truthful man, who is fully able to substantiate all he says. Itis such statements as these that justify the sending & Congressional Committee to Tennesse to which The Post, two days ago, 8o heedloss! objected. Perseontion of the negro now at the South means hatred of Emancipation, and a de- termination to set the laws of the Union at defiance, just as the negro riots in New-York in the Summer of 3 meant ald to the Southern rebellion. Federal troops were used in the one case, and Federal authori- ty must bo resorted to in the other to sustain the laws of the United States. The following letter is only ad- ditional evidence of that necessity : Muaus, Tono., May 4, 1866, My DEAR GENeRaL: T bave intended writing you ever sicoe I cawme to Tennessee, but I have been expecting from day to day that the worst would come, and 1 could tell you all iu one jettor.

A difficulty occurred between a fow colored soldiers and the police of the oity. It has grown into & most borrible riot. Every colored oburch and sohool house had been burred. Thousands of dollars worth of property bas been destroyed, more than forty colored peopls bave been shot fu cold blood, women have been burned in thoir houses, women have been shot down walking the stroet. “The wmont flendish outragos have been committed. Every man who wore a blue uniform or a black skin was in dangor of his life, and hois to-day. Lhave no doubt there is a secret organization backing up and sustaining this thiog. 1t s been necessary to send all the lady teackers North to prevont their boiug murdered. The United States flug is no protection unless encirelgd by United States bayonets. Something must be done for this country; loyal men, black and white, mast be protected. This country is no more fit to be admitted into the Union than Joff. Duvis ia to be President. It bebooves the Radical men iu Congress to stand by theright, and when it bocomes necessary, the men who fooght the last war are ready to fight saother. 1 n fires blazing atone time; I have seen ‘women shot down; I hiave seen men murdered, and all this for 0 other reason and for no other offeuse than that they were loyal. Ifthere is any power in the Government let the loyal men of the land be protected. Oneof our officers has been shot down in the streets of (Grenada, Miss., for no other reason than that he wore a blue auiform and was doing duty as an officer of the Government. ‘Throughous this whole country such & spirit exists that o man cannot oall blslife hisown and proclaim that he isa Union man, What Tsay, General, I will back up with incontestible proof, aad will faralsh tho affidavits to establish overy asser- tion, . 1 hope that this mockery will bs ended—sending officers of Government fato this cduntry to Brotect the people whom you Bave set freo, without the power to enforce a $300 judgment.

EQUALIZING 1ES, The Massachusetts Senate has rejected a bill fo the * equalization of bouuties " in that State, and hasr likewise rejected a motion to reconsider. The schewe wus pushed in Massachus@tts by precisely the samo arguments which are urged for the Congressional bill. In the House the measure was carried by the votes of members who, under the act, would be entitled to re- ceive bounties, the Bpeaker receiving their votes upon the entry of a memorandum in the journal whereby each representative released his vlaim. How these gentlemen could, by this or any other means, renounce their strong personal bias in favor of the sct, does not appear. In the Senate the final vote was 13 to 21, and we trust members of Congress will bear in mind that it i3 a much harder thing for a State legislator to resist the personal in- fluences from his constituents in favor of a measuro by which they are to profit, than it is for a Represent- ative in the House. And gince it is certain that the Dill is to be carried throngh Congress—if carried at all —by help of a factitious popular pressure, we hope the successful resistance to a similar pressure in Mas- sachusetts will prove an encouragement to such men in Washington as do not sincerely approve this claim- agents’ and bounty-brokers’ conspiracy for the en- largement of the publio debt. ‘We believe evidence in any quantity could be had to prove that the soldiers do not demand this alms from the public treasury.

Prymouta COUsTr. —That seems to us a very manly letter, and most creditable to the writer. We have confidence enough in the unselfish patriotism that carried us through the war to believe that * Plymouth County” speaks the true sentiments of the majority of the rank and file of the Union armies. We never did credit the assertions of our enemies at home aud abroad that the National forces were recruited for love of money more than for love of country, and we beg the soldiers whose valor saved the Republic not to discredit it or themselves by encouraging or permitting a sordid inotise to be s6’ plausibly imputed to them a3 it may be if they go begging for bounties from Congress or from State Legislatures. the th DEBT-PAYING. In Mr. Gladstone's rocent speech upon the English budget, we find many suggestions that an American may read with profit, It is very pleasant to find our- selves constantly paraded before the nations by tha first orators in the world as the prize boy at school, even if wo do remember not many sessions since when wo wore the one wicked boy among wicked boys, child of many hopes and prayers aud oppor- tunities, going to the bad irretricvably, and wasting the inheritance of a prince among swine and goat- hords. We have now the sublime preéminenco of haviug the largest debt in the world, with the excep- tion of England's; and, when wa come to look at our interest tables, and reckon up the cost of the debt, even larger than England. For a man to be poor is not a rare attainment. To be poor with a million of dollars of debt, brings renown in Wall-st. Accord- ing to Mr. Gladstone, therc seems to be a spirit of emulation among nations as to which of them will reach the latter eminence first. During the last twenty years particularly, the European nations bave managed to incur a debt of about $7,500,000,000. The English debt has generally been considered one of the few existing types of eternity. It is the one thing on this earth which seoms to have had no be- ginuing, and promises to have no end. The debt now is $3,994,545,000—more than $2,000,000 less than in January, 1334, a period proceding the Crimean War. “This shows that in twelve years England has repaired the losses of the Russisn war, aud advanced anew toward economy. To the Russell Ministry belongs the rare crodit ot disavowing English traditions, and regarding the National debt as a responsibility which may be ter- minated, and not as a law of nature, to the world with- out end. England is now in the possession of peculiar sources of wealth, and if she can escape the standing vice of borrowing, which Mr. Gladstone assures us is “startling;” if, above all things, she escapes the tendency to nssume debt, which has become a mania among European countries, there is no reason why she may not arrange for the payment of her eatirs debt. Ter rulers have abandoned the policy of Walpole and Pitt, and no longer give millions to Leip the cause of every forlorn king and kaiser who fecls that is crown is the chief concern of the world. If Eu- ropean powers fight, they must pay their bills. Hano- ver is no longer a burden to the English crown. Pal- merston is dead, and with him all of the * vigor" which expended itself in armament,’and fruitless exhi bitions of strength. Rather than write Mr. Seward a civil lotter on the Trent question, spend ten millions of dollars in getting ready for a war which it was known would never take place. England no louger claims to wear the champion belt of the world, Like the most of these brawny heroes, John Bull has retired and set up atavern. If nations want a bottle-holder or a ref- eree, he is a rare old Boniface who will see fair play. But his own bruises must be healed and his own bills paid, and his tavern is open to all the world, with entertainment abundant for man and beast. While the debt of England has inoreased greatly in the last twenty years, her commerce has trebled. During the last twenty=Yive years it has increased, until now—thanks, in a measure, to Liverpool pirates and Raphael Semmes—it is larger than that of Frauce and America combined. The cause of this is said to be the possession of mineral treasures, especially coal. England can mirfe coal cheaper than any other na- tion, and she controls the industry aud, con the capital of the world. America has thirty-s times the amount of coal in England, and, in a hund- red years, according to Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Mill, the English supply will end. With that ev the monopoly of coal passes to Americ Suppose coal is to fail,” says Mr. Gladstone, *aund to carry away this preéminence of cheap production of ours across the Atlantie, what will happen ? There will be a decline—a decline of rents, profits, and wages, There will bo precisely a reverse of what we have seen for the last twenty years in the increase of rents, profits, and wages. When rents, profits, and wages decline, what will the owners of them do? The owners of wages—those who receive wages—finding wages are higher across the Atlantic, will emigrate. Owners of movable property will find a wider and more profitable field for its application, and will send their capital abroad. What will the owners of rents do? It appears to me they cannot emigrate. Th emigrate personally, but that upon which they mum:! emigrato. At that period, when reats, wages, and profits decline, the charge on the National debt will romain a permanent mortgage on the lands and durable property of the country.” Therefore, acoerd- ing tqthis logic, while England retains almost a mo- nopoly of coal, while her commerce is larger than any two other nations on the earth, while all the world is pouring revenue into her exchequer, let her hasten to pay off this debt, and no longer keep it as a burden upon posterity. As for our own country, let us imitate England, or, rather, let us set our old mother an example. Already we are meoting our war taxes, and paying as we go. ‘While the great Continental Powers are arming to make war upon problems and’ purposelbss quarrels, we are endeavoring to disband our armies, and do not spend war-bills in times of peace. Don Quixote’s soul, never yearnell for higher impulses, never beat highor with the emotion of manly deeds, than when he found himself on the verge of a precipice. Do not our South American and Mcxican and Fenian schemes become as those of Don Quixote? There is nothing more tempting than war, “There is nothing so insidious a8 financial difficulty. It approaches twith smiles and caresses. Borrowing for the first time appears open to no objection. There is mothing in it alarming or menacing. It is like the cub of the lioness, spoken of by ome of the Greek poets, which was rashly taken by the hunter into his house, When it wos young, itwas reared with his dogs and placed among his children. It was mild in temper, and fawned upon every one. But when it grew up and felt its strength, it deluged the house with gore.” With this stern aud beautifal figure of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, wo dismiss the subject, entreating those statesmen in Congress who would have us cling to war-interests and war- finances, to legal tenders, paper money, and the exhilaration of a false, inflated currency, to be wise now when they may, lest when this system of debt grows to its fullness, its strength shall be our misery and desolation. A correspondent in Connecticut writes us to say that there must be some mistake in the return of gold watches for taxation which we copied recently from® anothir paper. No doubt of it.

We might call them Chinese lo- gicians, much givon to clamor aud torture—in atrifs, noisy and weak, fin trumph, vindictive and crual. If we aduit the doctrine that we can only deal with the South as with tigers, our statesmanship becomow casy. BMM. Fouquiér Tinville and Bertrand Barére have given us historical illustrations of the effact of the Tiger Policy, and loft an illustrious example. We, bowever, have an advantage which those Fronoh- men did not poasess. Their tigers represented a strong party, with armies a¢ their back, and capable of war. Our tigers have gone through war and been defeatod, and can make no resistance. Tiger-huuting in the Jjungles, when we merely know the presence of tigers, without any knowledge of their number, locality, tamper, capacity of resistance, is said tobe very ex- citing and not frea from danger. Tigar-hunting in the Zoological Gardens, with the animals duly caged, is another business. If we consider the ** traitors” a8 30 many tigers, and the South a vast jungle, our duty is plain. 'Wo may place a price on the head of every traitor to be duly delivered at Washington, after the fashion of pioneer legislators, who paid for the bead of a wolf or the snout of a bear, or the tail of a fox. There might be a Tiger Bureau at Washington, to whom the business might be profitably intrusted— with au ege to economy, due care being taken that uo traitor's head should be paid for twice. In the inter- ests of humanity it might be decresd that no young tigors should b taken, say under the age of fifteon. Their imperfect nature might be trained into Labita o peace and loyalty, Beyond fifteen it will be cheapet to knock tho tigersin the head and end the business. We might prolong this dissertation and give many reasons for destroyiug tigers, with a suggestion ox two in the way of starvation, or the distribution of poisoned vietnals in generally frequented places, about Memphis and Charieston for instance, or in Ae vi cinity of Mr. Wiso's residenc, o near the offices of the Richmond papers. Wemight sliow the absurdity, the horror of this argument, by following it to its logi- cal conclusion, aud deseribing our valiant editor for instance, a3 the Gordon Cumming of reconstruction, riding through the Southern juugle on an elephant, and doing deeds of destraction far excceding the ex- ploits of celebrated hunters, or even the revolutionary baptisma of Lyons.

The men who best serve the slave interest now are those whe wish a Tiger Polioy in America. The heart of this nation does not yearn for blood. We can say of our war that it was fought with merey, and fol- lowed by magnanimity, and that no man has beeu slain for his part as an armed Re! ldier.
