THE NEW YOKK SUN, | FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 2, 1865, ae — - Fast Day. Tae veneral compliance of our citizens With the Presid: nt'e reco oendation for ® national fast day, 'n rexpect for the memory of Anaanam Lixcom, was creditable to the people, aul & fitting expression of their esteem for the late President. Pusinoss was almost entrely sue gended, appropriate rervices were held in all te eburches, and, but for the absence of drapery, there were the same marks of resect for the Jarnented dead, which were observable immedt- ately after the travedy at Washington was porpe- trate?. The observance yesterday, o@ @ day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer, was the leat yeneral tribute of the people in re- membrance of President Lisoors, Unlike the spontaneous expressions of grief that immodiately followed hia doath, t) atof yesterday wan an officially sppointed day of mourning, and was observed it every city, town and hamlet tn the United Btates, The people have now shown the measure of their eppreciation, and have attested the atrength of their admiration for the estimable qualities of Avnanam Loxoons, May bis successor prove o# eccepialle to the country, and be ne brighten or- Mament to the hizh position which be fills, Reorganization of Political Parties.

Democrats and Republicans alike noknowlolye this fect, and now that the rebellion has passed into nistory, tho question naturally arises, what new sheme for party discussion will eupplant the ques sion of slavery? Parties we must have, for they are an inevitable, aud indeed, @ necessary ai- gunct of republican government, De} lo questions muss arise, for parties cannot exes with- aut topica for discusmon and agitation, The ner- eour activity of the politicians is not likely to leave the people long in ignorance concerning the basis apon which political parties aro to be reconstructed, Already the sladows of coming events begin to appear, and even in the chaon of parties, we begin w discern the shepo they aro to take ander the skillful manipulation of the poli- siciana, The party leaders must receive credit for economy in their political capita’, if in nothing aise, When thelfrugal hourekeeper breaka a cook my utensil, sho revolves the question inher mind @hethe: the pieces cannot Le made available for some other usc; and politicians necrn to proceed apon the same principle. Slavery is doa, pimit the fact, but the negro * atill liv aes la broken, but the scent of the rose attll ling- ors about the wreck, and in that acent there ia still something available, The negro is now to be made the bobby in the political arena, and the chief ciders are already preparing to mount, The radi- sel extremists, struck the key-note at the anti- slavery convention held in Ruston on Wednesday of this week, Waenpatt, Pmiuiins subtmmitted « re- solution to the eflect that “the reconstruction of the rebel States, without nero suffrage, is a prac- sical surrender to the Confederacy!

In the épeeches which he has deliveret 7 the route of ois present tour in the secede! States, he bas uni+ formly expressed the conviction that the negroes muat be enfranchised, Atone stago of his jour- avy he weut so far as to qualify negroes to vote, and under hweeve they voted for 1 clected a own Mayor, In this, we have the political creed of the Caasafactiicn, The third el of radicals ere less explicit and outspoken in their views afgn the question, but they have boldness enough to bint, in a general way, that the President acted very aa rd the necroes, Vn not providing for their serent, in bis Worth Carolina proclau: # class retain in the background for the sake of expoliency, but their views are clearly Ceflued in ther own minds and sooner or later they will appear upon the sur- nevertheless ‘y tows: face of politics, Here we have, therefore, three grades of racdicals,—the p ive, the comparative, end the su —each dif. fering from the others in degree, tut all united on one point—that the negroes must be invested with the right of # ec. Thie isthe eadical platform, and upon it they are ready to taunch out for the battle of politics, Oa the other band, we bave the conservat! re so diviled into Gogrees, and differing upon migor topics; but on this question of negro enfranchisoment they are a anit, holding to the dootring promulsated by Axpesw Jounson in his Jost proclamation—th, the States have the constitutional, an! ulefeasible right to regulate questions of su‘frage in their own way. This subject, therefore, 1s certain to become the basis for the reconstruction of political parties, Every indication points to it, the political straws ali ‘low that way, and the evidence dally becomes ir rer, tha: the negro isto take the place lately oveupled by Blavery, an the reali of party poli- ties The Vate of Inordinate Ambition.

Tre work of disbanding the army actually io progress, aud @oldiers wre dally leaving Washington for their homes with pockets well lined with the monetary fruits of their hardships, tolls, and damgers. They have the aympathy, the admiration, the gratitude, of the whole nation ; and these expressions wre very vratifying to a soldier who feels that he in a deserved recipient 0” such honors, But praise will not furniso hima eulsistence, A swall proportion of the soldiers, will doubtleas be et once provided by friends with suitable employment, but the great majonty will bave to depowd upon their unaided efforts, perseverence, and energy, in the future, just as they did before entering the army. A wan who has fought the battles of bia country, oug!itto Lave vo fears for his success in the battle of life; and, with a reasonablo exercise of prudence, no soldier need be apprehensive of the future. Tere ure a few facts, however, that cannot be {uored, aud it is well thatthe eulvlers shoud be almoaished of everyshing pertaining to tia @ fact well kuown to the ¢ wud to many others, that) the gamblers, thieves, prostitutes, swindlers, and scoundrels i all departmente of villainy, regard soldiers as @ target upon whom to exercise their devices The wily rascals are ever on tho alert to ‘spot’ a soldier whom they beleve to have money, and if the vice is now ir Cetrunent, common tia escaped in ruoniug the gauntios that is p pared for bim, he isa lucky man—far wore lucky than many others of bis class. Now, Jiera are no greener than any otierc.assof people, but the ditference between them und other classes, so far as the devices of rogues are concerne!, is simply this:—The sollier has been eo long excluded frora the attractions of a city, be has Leen so long with- ney aud the cusnce to expend it, that when restracut, apd possessor of @ LLeral quantity « from willitary made tho ereenbacks, he naturally feels disposed to “vo in and enjoy him- This is all very wel, ao far us it govs, but thodanger is thatwhile ‘ yiug himself," the scoundrels upon his trail, wil Neve him of his shrewdest of people sora me tneana, re- money. The 1ea fall vietlins to these sharpers, aod it is not strange that soldiers, who ere made the especial should dier sho fn a savin, prey of such characters, Now every returning sole 4d take the precaution to put his money bank, or some other place of security, uffer thereby, before enjoying himael!." Les » not deiude himeelf with the belief thatho te * too sharp for the knaves,"" for if he does he will be very Lhely to regret hia rashuess. After @ rea- snaiie aud rational degree of ploasure-seck- jug, let him proceed, without delay, to secure « ptuaiion in geome cecupation for which be ia qualified, or use the proceeds of his campaig jug in ster some little business on his own account, By dong this be will retain the respect ond esteem which lis m.litary career Las evoked, On the other hand, if he shal! prove reckless and profligate, showing bo disposiuen to sdapt bim- self tocivil pursuits, be will soon take the same place in the e@tiation of the community, whieb other worthless characters bold, and his proud name as @ goldier of tie Union, will be lost in the ofa va d. Therefore, we would impress upon the soldiers the importance of name common taking care of ther money, aud of retnombering that, “There is no friend in need like a dollar or two,” Too Willing By Half. The rebel Governor Cran, of Mississiy pi, ia en- ratiaie Li out, by hus issued @ procla deuvoring to ir Ifin the good opinion protest. He ation for the convention of his Lo rislature, with a view « of the Govern ® very lam f repealing the ordinance faeceasion, and in that document he claine that Miss § participaner in rebellion was “ with | ho intention of aggression, but {.r defence alone." | Ivins all very fine tor Governor Chang to talk in this \ strain uncer present circumstances, but it is Vether late to set up such a pea as this for the pur- Pose of excusing Lis State from the part it bas taken ta the work od the Mississippi furninhe itentot the Boushbern © mtedcracy," and # whole hos, o other 4 wnt staré in the rebel galaxy. Lhe whole Congressional del ogation of Mississippi, including Jerr, Davis withdrew from Congress in abody, which act was eadoreed by the Lexislavure of tuas Stave, and from the time of that withdrawal, until the deathkne!! of the rebellion was sounded, Missismppi wae as Conspicuous in rendering aid to the rebellion a@ any other Bouthern State. Governor Crank's pre- text for excusing his State is evtirely too trans- Parent. The object of it ir, clearly enough, to se- cure for him the privilege of “ reconstructing” with the present legislators, which he has called together by this proclamation, But it will not answer, The Government will pursue the same Course in Mississippi, that it bas already com- menced in Virgiuia, and North Carolina—that of entirely ignoring rebel legislations and rebel gov- enors, Crank may as well make up bis mind to take a place in ‘durance vile,’ along with Vaxon, Letcuen, Browx,and the other gubernatorial lights of treason, whuin the soldiers ere fast gather- ing ia. Tix Twenty-fift, Corps, comprising the greater part of the colored troops in the Army of the mon, have been assigned to the duty of froelug Texas from any lurking spit of rebellion that may etillexiat the: It is pot apprehended that any organized resistance to the Government will be atternpted, even by the most venomous class of rebels in that quarter, but the desperate character sud uder lawlessuess that mark « large portion of the Texas rebels, makes it necessary to take pro- cautionary measures againet outrages by guerrilla gangs, The population of Texas is made up, to great extent, of reckless desperadoes, who have one thither from older States, either to escape punishment for crime, or to find e wider and safer flel! in which to exercise their lawlessness. Is would not be atrange if, in such a community, there should be gangs of outlawa, who, failing to the scheme of rebellion, shonld sill feel disposed to pursue the natural bent of their disposition by pi'lage and personal outrages, The negro soldiers are admirally adapted for dealing with such characters, and the Government has made e good #eloction in designating them for service in Texas, Being inured tom warm climate, the dia- eases that non-acelimated people incur in Texex, turing the summer season, will have no injurious eflect upon the colored soldiers, Aad as for hunt- iny guerrillag they have @ record that can be trusted for any future emergency. There is an- other reason why this disposition ald be made of the colored troops. If they wero disbanded pow, with the white soldiers, they would of course come north and increase the permanent negro population here, which is already ouch laryer than we want, Their place is in the South, and by retaining them in the service until the States are re-organized, and industrial pursuita again moving slong in the old ehanne!a, the soldiers will naturally come to regard the country where their kindred live, as the proper place for them, And when their military term expires, they will be ‘is- pored to accept the inducements that will be offer- ed for thelr labor, settio down among thew friends, and coloy the fruits of that freedom given them by the Government, for which they have so gallantly fought, The Supply of Wheat. A careful and reliable estimate gives the amount of wheat on hand, waiting Fastern market in the country, North, West and Northwest of La Crosse at four million bushels, of which at ‘east one mil- lion bushels is in the hands of farmers. Some farmers up the Chippewa, St. Croix and Missourt rivers have three years’ coop still in store, waiting for hicber prices, which will never cone, But little wheat is coming forward, held back by the insuiticient price and enormous rates of freight. Oo the Minnesota river, above St. Paul, wheat isa drux at fitty cents a buabel. In the storehouses, thousands of bushels are waitiug traneportation, and thousands upon thousands of bushels have offered from dampness and heating, Some deal- era who bought rsince at « dollar, and even ten shillings, a bushel there, have been ruined by the fall. The president of one of ihe upper river packet companies, loses ot least onehundred thou. sand dollara by depreciation of prices and damage to ‘rain from unavoidable causes, Five years since wheat on the upper Minnesota was worth frow fifty cents to one collar and thirteen cents a bushel, in gold. At present rates of grain aud merchan- dine the farmers are having @ severe time, The Voice of Europe’s W orkingmen, Tie workingmen of Europe have adlressed to President Jounson the following noble letter, Is was received by the editor of the Tzinune from a friend in London, in advance of its dilivery to the Promdoent—whom it has doubtleas reached by this time, No more eloquent or striking utterance has been called out by the assasa.nation, than this from the men who live by labor, and bonor the states men who sprang from their ranks : To Awnrew Jounson, President of the United Stiteas Sin: The demon of the ** poculiar institution,’* for the supremacy of which the South rose tn arma, would jot al'ow his worshipers to honorably sne- nb on the open field, What he had begun in treason he must needa end in infamy, As Pullp Ii.'s war for the inquisition, bred a Gerarda, thus Jetterson Davis's Pro-Slavery war, a Booth, It is notour part to cul words of sorrow and horror, while the heart of two worlds heaves with emotion, Eveu the sycophants who, yoar after year, aud day by day, stuck to thelr misayphus work of morally sssassinating Abraham — Lincoln, and the great Republic he headed, stand now aghast at the universal ou:bu of popular feeling, and vie with each other in etrew. ing rhetorical flowers on bis open grave, They have now at last found out that he was amen neither to bo browbeaten by adversity, nor intoxi- cated by success, inflexibly pressing on to his great goal; Dever compromising it by blind Uaste ; slow- ly maturing bis steps; never retraciag then; car- ried away by no surge of popular favors; disheart- euod by no slackening of the popular pulse; tem.
