Let this be proved, The pickpockets, who are the rats of the town, who infest the ill-smelling cars on the Bowery line, who burrow down in the concort saloons at night, and worm their evil way into all the crowds of this world-like city, are to live in more wretched victime than ever, They had a shivering time of it yes- terday before the Police suthorities, when an in- wector, as cool a3 Inspector Bucket Limself, told them lie * would as soon kill some of them as not.” The independent and secret order of pickpockets, of which there has not heen so distinguished a muster for years, were badly frightened, of course. Eighty special detectives have put to work to clear ont the rat-ridden neighborhoods; and this it is which gives comfort to all who ride in the cers that one of the grost pests and disgraces of the city, beside the grogs geries and concert-saloons, will be troated to a scverer | purgative than fright. —— THE STEEDMAN REPORT. Messrs. Steedman and Fullerton were sent South to wake a report against the Freedmen's Bureau, and have done their errand, Nobody will be surprised by thig; for every one expected it, Aftor the veto of the figst Freedmen's Bureau bill, but especially since the passage of the second over another had tho sunissioners made a different report, they would ¢ rebuked and shamed their master. ** Come, me Israel,” the behiest of Balak of old to the prophet; and John essence the . Steedman might have been as houest as Balasm had he been stopped on his way by s angel: but if is manifest that he beld interconrse in the South with quite another order of bhoings. There is not iu ail the land a hard, selfish. crucl cmployer of Blacks, who thinks they ought still to he reto, o lay they are pot, who does not hate and malign the Preedmen's Bureau=nay, who does not impaticntly await its overthrown. Aud there is not a neighbor- liood of Blacks in all the South which docs not value the Bureau and pray for its continuance. Al who are accustomed to assert that *free niggers can't take care of themselves"—that they * will mever work unless compelled to"—that *they are bound to die off," &e., &c.—are eager that the Buresu should be abolished. Why ? - We presume abnses have existed, and that some still exist, in the management of the Burean. It powers are anomalous; but so are the evils it wag created to vang a great extent, it Aas vanquished. thaw a make-shift, a stop-gap, intended to bridee the chasm between Slavery and complete Freedom, Close the chasm, and the Bureau will have been supenveded. Lot the of this country, and of every part of it, It was never more | treat men secording to their worth, regardless of theix culor, and we will urge the instant aholition of th Bu But, 50 long As the White Bouthrons skall quite generally assnme that * Negroes have no rights which Whites are bound to respeet,” it will be needed. The effort Lo make capital against the Burean is pal- pibly ained, Take the case of the Black Union soldier whose wife, in his absence in the amay, hired out for the year, snd whom the Commissioner decide d mast falfill her contraet, thongh her husband, having been discharged, wished to leave her employer and come to live with him, This was & hard cae, doubt- lest; but does it justify the Steedman comment that “It is evident that this ofticer considers » labui contract ore sacred than a marriage contract.” Had the officer decided that the woman's contract might be hroken because her husband wished it the comment wonld doubtless have been barsher and more pungent, . v Again: Moot of ihe Blacks contracted last Winter for a year's work at lower prices than they could now obtain; and a good many of them are, quite naturally, discontented. There is no evidence that the Bureau azents did other than what seemed to them hest for the Blacks, Now look st the Steedman “improve : ment” of the facts: “ The lwllflmullnnllnn freedman has in the South is the value of his Iabor in the market; and if he is loft free to dis- t all times, 10 tbe bighest biader, unsekled by 31de for him by Bureau offieers, no apprebersion ueed befolt for his safety or success. 1f the men oou'd at this momeut demand the Wiges b the high price of the products of the South would justify, oge doliar per day nad howsd would bo the ruling wages, instead of ten or twelse dil Jare per month, the prices now paid.

The treodiuen on the Ogeches and Savan ivers are gotiiog, on {e tice plaz tatious. from ten Lo fitteen doilare per month, ‘ooutract for the year, while the laborers tinoigia Central Railroad, which runs betw are gotting $1 50 per day.” —Does Gen, Steedman believe that these field- | Lands could command * 1 per day and board” alt the year round 7 1f not, how unfair to state that they might oot this moment ** obtain that rate ! Ko the “ @14 a day,"” paid to railroad hands, does not include loard, which plantation bands receive beside their wages, But it was absolutely dishonest to suppress, as the roport does, the fact that the Blacks of the ex-Rehel States have no property, no houses, and aro subject, in several, to State laws punishing vagraney, &c., which abvolutely compel them to enter into o frosh coutract, directly after an old one expires, on penally or imprisonment. Thus, the vagrant act of ssippi (Nov. 21, 1865) provides that **all freed- wan, free negroes and mulattoes in this State over (he age of 18 years, found, on the second Monday in January, 1866, or thereafter, with no lawful employ- went or business, shall be deemed vagrants,” and ubject to fine and imprisonment, Wouldn't the Blacks have had & nice time refusing to eontract and standing out for higher wages, under this law ! Yet there i« no hint of its existence in the report ! 1f the Commissioners had frankly said, ** Give the Blacks Equal Rights and Equal Laws, and abolish your Freedmen’s Bureat at once,” we should bave hailed thieir report with enthusiasm, But seeing how South- ern statute-hooks are covered with most unrighteons, oppressive inbibitions, disabilities, and penalties, to which Blacks only are subject, wo marvel that honor- able men could have conspired to aggravate their perils and sufferings by snch an unc andid, injurious satement, I one recommendation s it periect adaptation to the Presidential purpose. —_— Johu Raudolph, ane; ;{ ;ho Ditterest oppouents o | Protection, was so able a thinker that in carrying ont his Free Trade theories to their neceseary result, he invariably made them ridicnlons. He looked back with regret to {le golden age of Virginia, before Yankee manufictures had ruined the peace of the State, “One ship," he wonld say, * sufficed, in those bappy days, for all the commerce of that part of Virginia with the old world, and it was namned the London Trader. When it was about to sail, all the fumily were called together, and eacli member was invited to mention the articles ho or she wanted from Louden. Iirst, the mother of th¢ family raye on's to Steedman was in | and docs his best to make them regret that | quish—which this report shows that, to | in her list; next, the children, in the order of their ages; next, the overseer; then, the mammy, the children's black nurse; lastly, the house-servante, ac- cording to their rank, down even to their clildren. When months had passed, and the time for the ship's return Was at hand, the weeks, the days, (be hours, were counted; and when the signal was at last descried, the whole household burst into exclamations of delight, and there was festival l'in the family for many days. John Randolph could never forgive American manufacturers for destroying this colonial system of dependence upon Enrope. Virginians conld not stoop to manufactures, and even Defore tho war the consequence of her folly was ruin. The very mensions of the Randolphs wero razed to tho earth, and the James River flows through a fertile, uncnltivated waste, Here is the natural conclusion of Froe Trade, an agricultural people ruining their future by directly encouraging foreign manufacturers. IR Sl JOMN GHT ON ENGLISM LIRERTY. In bis letter to the Secretary of the Reform League, replying to au invitation to the meeting it had been proposed to bold iu Hyde Park, Mr. John Bright puts the following query: * If a public meeting in a public honest men are denied the franchise, on what founda- tion does our liberty rest, or is thero in the country any liberty but the toleration of the ruling classes?” He then significantly adds: **This is a serious ques- tion, but it is necessary to ask it, and some answer must be given it.” There is something startling in these Dold words—no doubt well considered— of the famous English Democrat, and wo are mot surprised that they have kindled the fury of the Tories against their autlior, and even called forth the condemnation of some who make a lLoast of being Liberals. It has been so much the fa<hion to hold up England as, above all other coun- tries, the land of liberty, and the majority of English- men g0 religionsly belicve in this dogme, that it must appear to certain classes in that country something Wkin to dreadfnl Dasphemy when a native-born En- glishman of Mr, Bright's intellect and position pre- sumes to question whether, after all, the English peo- ple really enjoy the political freedom of which their public writers, their statesmen, and their orators, are wont to vaunt. The English Lave Leen accustomed to hug the idea that they are the fr people on the | ' | | | cordially i this; and for good and sufficient | reason so far as they are concerned; and as for the ! masses, why they have been taaght to sing ** Britons never shall be slaves,” which implies, of conrse, that Britons, one aud all, are preéminently and gloriously free. But now, 600 years after the Magna Charta was extorted at the point of the sword from the weakness of a tyrant king, and 200 years after the Decluration of Rights and the Bill of Rights Lad lai foundation deep and broad for the edifice of political liberty, there steps forth from the people’s ranks a Englishman of no small power and no meex repute, and ! boldly asks the question, Are the people of England | after all a free people? or is their liberty avything | hetter than ** the toleration of the ruling classes 1 "l t the langnage, let it he noted. of oné gnorant of the peculiar characteristics of English in- tions and their workings, but of a man thoroughly | seqmainted with the whole structure of English so- and with the wide-spread ramifications of En- law amd its operat are not words in the heat of p deliberation, and with an camest pur- { poses for to th cod, Mr. Tright | some must be given idering | these things, it i« no wonder that his pointed query hould Liave mi-ed o storm in the Tory camp, | canwed no small perturbation even among sel-com enned evidently after seri ay rertain la the i | placent Liberals of a But it strikes us that or of Mr. Bright's question I gestivencss. It takes the form of insinuation, but it points nevertheless most unmistakably to a broad | fncts long as there is in England *“a ruling class’ distiuet from the great body of the pe England t ng, upheaving < in its truthfl sug- | is not, Tn the proper acceptation of the term, politi { cally a free country. So lung as the elective franchis } =the birthright of every citizen, whatever his condi- | tion—is denied to the masses, the masses are, politi- cally, nothing betterthan serfs, It is o fact not to be denied that in Evgland the masses—the working veople, the nation’s chief strength, the sonvce and the sustentation of the national greatness, aud power, and wealth—are politically ignored, and, worse than this, are Leld in contempt by the classes in power. Look at the exhibitious we have had duriug the late debate on Parliamentary Reform in the Hons Commons. I what terms did the Lowes and the Elchoes of that body speak of the workingmen of England? Why, 1+ an ignorsnt, venal, drunken, brutal mob, to whom it would be a most perilous experiment to concede political rights. And we have now Lord Derby, and his ministerial colleagnes, speaking, with the most ng airs, of * granting permission to the people” to hold public meetings in certain pnblic , for the discussion of political questions, We in spirit of enmity to England, and with no desire to depreciate her. Still we can- not but look upon these things as nnequivocal signs nal degeneracy, and alarming symptoms of Al danger, I we are to believe the Tories, the ) ontside the pale of the favored classos are nothing better than & mob. And it we look impar- tially at the case as it stands, we see a broad line of demarcation, with caste on one side clutching o monopoly of rule, and political serfdom on the other, straggling, apparently in vain, for liberty, 1In either case there i« imminent peril to the internal peace and the safety of the pation, Without pretending to the gitt of prophe (el safe in predicting that Lu- hand is on the eve of serious civil conyulsions, which can only be averted by timely concessions to those demands which the people are now urging on the attention of the ruling classes.

The Declaration of Independence is for all peoples, and all time, 1t i+ the immortal Magva Charta of the human race. no The Raleigh Sentinel, which takes us to task for b ing said that Judge Ruffin decided the new Constitu- tion of North Carolina to be unauthorized and essen- tinlly illogal, does not deny that the Judge wrote the lotter to which this emphatic opinion is ascribed.

That the cable has lasted as longas it has and has worked better with each day's use, is already o pre- somption that it will last for years. It may not be too bold, then, to speculate even thus early on some of its probable cffects on civilization. The secret of civilization is intercoursa. The people tains, rivers, deserts, tribal distinctions, prejudices, ousics, hatreds, intcrchanging nothing of a mate. rial or intellectnal kind, are barbarous. Civilization comes with srmpathy between numbera, It begins with the ribution of products; it continacs with the commnunication of inte and the multipli- cation of mutaal relationships; it reaches perfection with the spread of knowledge aud the diffusion of ideas. 'The civilized man is the man who lives on terms of civility, order, good-will, with his fellow creatures, No onc can estimate the value of the Atlantic Cable as an agency in establishing such termsof living. All other agencies are rude beside it. Steamships and railways are good for coarse work. This is good for fine work. With all our boasted facilities, interconrse is still exceedingly imperfect. No elements of knowledge, art, sympathy, are per- feotly diffused. There are centers of light and wastes | of darkness, There is an ontlying barbarism in the | precinets of great cities like New-York and Brooklyn. The medieval times are perpetuated on Manhattan Island and Staten Island—witness the specimen of je: sources, but the benefit is not for the whole, egraph wires opemte as fire conductors thro distriets, and equalize discovery, intelligen ment, through special communities; but there is much to be done before oue nation can the pulse of an- other. A Ditter experience has shown us that En- gland and America have, as yet, no common under- standing and no common heart. They are too d tant. There is something that does not escape through newspapers and letters—knowledge and experience, ignorance and stupidity, rancor and antipathy accu- mulate, and no sufficient medium exists for their dis- charge over lg s or from remote poinls, At thi« juncture comes in the Cable, Tho very knowl- edge that it i« there, stretching its sensitive nerve from hemisphere to bemisphere, is civilizing in its effect. The thought of it as lying there on the bottom of the deep, threading the mysterious passages of submarine lite, ready to transmit the pulsations of humanity aeross the invisible wouutain-chains, the uuke wrd-of abyzses, the wilderness of sand and sea-weed and vock; lighting up the fathomless dark with its streak { of electric flame; disenchanting space their power to separate; a hand of steel that never looses its grasp: a girdlo never unhraced: a silver eord of amity touching two continents—the mere at it is done, and done by the world-con- humauizing. power, intelligence, and skill; it strengthens and deepens the faith in the unity that prevails ideally, It enlarges our couceptions of human and shall prevail actually, in the enterprises and in- terests of mankind; it suggests the unity of nations and the hrotherhood of men; it makes us feel more st home with foreigu peoples; it extends the circle of our sympathy, and wokens a warm fraternal sentiment towaxd the dwellers at the ends of the earth. The imagination becomes excited by visions of Larmony; the touch of the cord makes our hearts beat with pro- phetic hope of better things to come, Aud why not? The element of uickness and fre- qaeucy that the Cable introduces into our foreign in- terconrse cannot be too highly estimated. It everything. The critical moments are but moments, Whatever happens, happens in a moment, and the | point of supreme importance is the seizure of the in- stant. The world moves not once in three days, but every second, Three days later from Europe is jast three days too late sometimes for the transmission of momentous tidings on which the security of govern- ments and the peace of nations may bang. The steamer may leave just an hour too soon, and may come in just an honr too late for the word of power to prevail, Events big with consequences, or that would, | if improved, be big with consequences to great com- munitics, may oceur and pass unimproved belween the sailing of two ocean steamships, The word in ason 10w be worth columns a day too Jate.
