THB DEBATB ON THE SOUTHUBN ciiAinis. - ! - The delayed and dreaded debate -has conie oft! and no damage done save to . the windy Bragg. The Soathern members, notably Chalmers,- of Mississippi and Mills, of Texas, - hit ; the . foolish fellow I some hard blows, bat .'they said nothing that caii be tortured into disloyalty, or that can possibly injure the South. They tool; a position that fairly . represents the most intelligent por tion of the South. Nearly all of the Mississippi members had something -to say, and all spoke moderately and " wisely. I The Washington corres- : pondent of the Baltimore Gazette says of the debate: . "Ia all Ibe remarks made there was no thing to indicate that the Confederate brigadiers meant to make any fight on their .. Northern colleagues over the payment of : - Southern claims. . They took a broad view of the whole question, and their eTjpphatic remarks tucked away the Southern claims bugaboo in its little bed. To the ordinary nhnprvpr it mifrlit annfiftr thnt thin wad tha sum and substance of the debate, but any such conclusion - would be far from the truth. Aside from the simple question of war claims, which the Southerners do not want paid, the debates of yesterday1 fore shadow a policy which is likely to have , crave results. Gen. Chalmers and his col leagues read an unexpected riot act to their Northern : friends. .. It was not pre cisely a threat, rather- more of a prophecy, but stated in such emphatic' terms there could lie no double meaning, - He said in substance that ever since the close of the war and the success of reconstruction the Northern .Democrats had been relying for : tnrsog in nil n o t inn a 1 inaiioo nn f Via .nli support of the South. This they had uni formly received, especially in the last cam paign, and would receive it in future only on certain conditions. The question had now resolved itself into a very simple case, as follows : The South does not desire pay- "sun vi. oujr ucwupuuu vi wu viaima. . This sentiment has been expressed .in the Senate by Southern leaders like Morgan and Hill, and in the House by all Southern men of any prominence. So far, there - fore, as this question ' is concerned mey cave aone au in tneir power . to set ..ine mma oi the national treasury at rest, but - here then ' draw the Hoe. The real animus of the at , tacks on Bragg yesterday was because he had attempted to include the navment of Southern war claims and appropriations for . internal mnravpmnnti in nna unA tha aamo .. - f - .M WMW WUM UW BttillO . nrAnn-!t!n On KSa lkM nA l! juvjivmuuu, . vu iuu yjiu-t IDC tiru BCCUUUB of the Democracy are likely to have a rnn- ture. , The Southern members, who have Deen moormg ever since the war to obtain - from the National treasury some of the same benefits granted the North for inter- . nai improvements, and uniformly without success, now proDOse to1 force aSi onen - " mw UUbOUUU. . AUD 1CU IKN 111 General Bragg indicated this and nothing iuuid. xuejr auusianiiauy served : notice on the Northern Democracy that thnv had , been pulling their chestnuts out of the fire long enougu witnout reward, and were heartily sick of the business." The Southern members in Congress with very few exceptions, if j any . will oppose the payment of all claims set up by so-called Southern loyalists for people who went against their country, when all was at stake , and s- showed the spirit of a traitor to ho. , nor and manhood. We are rejoiced to see this position taken,f or we have, seen, as we thought, more danger to the democracy m this spook which had -vsu wujuis yubui him leruie Drains ot oar enemies than in any other. ' It he so exposed and. silenced and driven in shame to its covert whence it issued that it can -do no damage . m me great -contest that is'just ahead. . The North will seejrom the Utterances of such men as kills and Chalmers, and of nm, llor-m and others that the South asserts no inte- rcst'in these loyalists' claims, but is determined Tather to .resist all fur ther assaults on the Treasury, from that direction. The Philadelphia Times says: "Wn havR nn doubt that such men as Hill and Mills speak not only for themselves but for their constituents, the real Deoole of the South, when thoy denounce these raids upon ine t reasury ror me ueneut ut aa,ui& ers and camp-followers. .There , has been all along more danger from Northern liberality, misdirected, than from South era rapacity in this matter. The cry of danger from rebel claims was uot raised until n Ttmihlirn.n. Cnnrrrtxx Tiad toied millions on this account, without any regard io- equity. and it w,as reared mat a uemocrauc con gress would follow in their footsteps and go Further in the same direction. The worst in nvr. AH war r.inimn will be nrettV closely scrutinized hereafter. Meanwhile it will do no barm for a few more Southern Democrats to put themselves in line with . Senator Hill as opportunity may offer." 4 The, last suggestion is a good one. Let other Southern representative men speak out plainly on the subject. Let rforth Carolina's voice be heard, and on "the sensible and prudent side. The charge brought by the Times, in the words we have italicized, is no doubt true. Some hundred millions have Been voted away already in pay ment of the claims of men who were in no sense i representative or true Southerners. The New York Sun says that at least ninety millions were paid for fraudulent claims. It says, and mark well the words: - f : "Republican claim agents, speculators, patriotic members of Congress, and profes sional politicians, all intensely loyal and Northern by birth, were the chief benefi ciaries of this enormous plunder. Only the scraps that feu from the omcial tables were given to the hungry applicants who were really from the South. "Moreover, the great bulk, of the present claims," which excite so much virtuous in-, dignation, are made up and urged by' Northern attorneys, or owned DyJNortneru speculators. The fact is notorious that most of the class known as cotton claims is now in Northern hands, and that a ring of Northern, lawyers, some of them, too, of the most stalwart stamp, is organized and active at this very time in procuring legis lation to confer jurisdiction on the Court of Claims to decide them." In the face of such well known facts there are such papers of Wide influence in the North as the Tribune, that will ring the changes on these claims, and swear that the South, through its "Confederate Brigadiers," means to make a constant raid on the United States Treasury, until the country is robbed of hnndreds of millions of dollars. Senator Hill voted against a claim, and in his able speech said: T vote against the bill, because, in mv lodgment, it is what we call par excellence a war claim, and 1 am against the payment of all war claims, whether they be loyal or disloyal, unless it be, perhaps, some few exceptions in favor of religious, education al and charitable institutions; and there are very few even of that character that I will except. 1 vole against their payment on principle.' Senator Morgan, of Alabama, also said : "When we propose to reward loyalty I want jto reward the pure article. I do not want to reward any article of loyalty that seems to be in the least degree under sus picion ; and I am determined in my conduct in the senate, when men come from the South or from the North either, claiming the rewards of their loyalty, that they shall prove it to a demonstration before-1 will undertake to reward them on that account." These are the views of the think ing men of the South. The South has no idea whatever of depleting the -Treasury and burdening the country to pay men for whose characters they have no respect and in whose honesty they have no sort of! confi dence. Senator Hill laid down a platform that ought to meet, it appears to us, the hearty approbation of honest and patriotic men in every section. Here it is: "1. We will cot oav war losses, loval or disloyal.' -. "2. We will vote no mora of th nnhlin money and no more of the public credit J : at a . ' . ana no more oi me pudhc lanas to ociid up or enrich mammoth monopolies in the 1 a 1 M . . a enape oi raiiroaa corporations. "3.

Ex-Governor Pinchback, colored, of Louisiana, is in Washington. He says the newly elected Senator Jonas is a great improvement on Eastis an abler man with broader views. 'Does Pinch know ? He says the Radicals will harmonize in Louisiana and make a good fight with some show, or suc cess in - the next campaign. He thinks .the Nicholls government might have done more in recognizing his race, but complains of no out rages or invasions of their civil and political, rights. ? Thus far the legislation of Congress has not been marked with any impor tant measures that are calculated to improve the country. It has made,' however, one capital blunder that is well calculated to increase taxation and to add to the burdens of the peo ple. Wo refer to the back-grab pen sion law.

The Aurora says: , V . "W nlwAVH have onnoeed the erection of these branch institutions and we always shall. 4 If the Legislature . had taken ut.

At the time the measure for con structing a Western Asylum was be fore the Legislature, we took occa sion to express a conviction that it -would be wiser to enlarge the Ra leigh Asylum, which is so well man aged, than to ereot one or two addi tional at other points. ' We have no doubt that every Northern Democratic member of the present and coming Congress fully agrees with Messrs. Lockwood and Bragg.- And these Demo crane congressmen oniy renect ine views of their constituents, who are "solid" upon this claim question. Buffalo (2T.Y.) Cou- rier, Bern. The Southern Democrats are pro bably just as "solid upon this claim question" as are the Northern Demo crats. They do not fancy to be lec tured, however, by such fellows as windy Bragg. - They will not vote to pay the fraudulent claims of men whose only merit consists in being false to themselves and their country in the hour of trial. The Goldsboro Messenger states the case truly, exactly, and in few words, when it says: "Eastern North Carolina asks no legisla tive discrimination in her favor. She asks only that the great commercial advantage of her geographical situation shall not be lost to the State, and to herself, by the con troi and management, by foreign corpora tions, of railroads built to promote the con venience and welfare of our State. This, and nothing more, induces us to oppose the combination. We see its bad effects on all sides of us." We find in the last Richmond Dis patch an extraot from some utterance of Mr. McCulloch that is judicious enough to be copied in the Stab. It is good advice as well fur North Carolina as for Virginia : "First. If the debt Question be now settled, do not keep it before the public let it rest: and second.. do not run down your lands and do not speak of the pov erty or your. State, but be hopeful and cheerful, and the future will be bright." There is but little prospect of the bill on army reorganization passing this session. The next Congress will have to regulate the matter and cor reot abuses. There seems to be a general opinion that something must be done not long -hence to regulate and ad just army matters.

JLditob stab: Pender county 18 tuny auve to important measures now before the Legislature, as affect at ing Wilmington and this entire south eastern section of North Carolina. It is needless to say that the entire people of the county are in full sym pathy and accord with Wilmington in opposition to the anti-Cape Fear and anti-North Carolina project of an extension of the Raleigh Ss Au gusta Air-Line Railroad to Charlotte, as now proposed in the .Legislature. An important public meeting was held here to-day. in which this feel ing was strong. Resolutions were passed against any law of taxation to keep up publio roads, and " asserting that the present system was sufficient and efficient, and that there should be a rigid enforcement of the existing law as regards overseers and road hands. . It was resolved, also, thai the inte rests of sheep husbandry demand the passage by the present Legislature of a dog-law, so- called, and that the welfare of all classes and colors demand the passage of each a law to tax doge. " The meeting also took action upon the question of the State debt, taking the position that the present : .Legislature ought to effect some fair, just, find honorable com jromise upon such portions of the state debt as North ' Carolina bound in nonor to pay.
