The Rebel Debt. The editor of the Altoa Democrat, although he pretends to favor President Johnson's reconstruction policy, is out against his forcing the rebels to repudiate the debt created for the purpose of destroying the government, and goes in for the reconstructed and loyal Stites compelling the real Union men of the South to pay taxes to liquidate the debts contracted by the traitors and rebels. In speaking on this subject, in his issue of yesterday, he says: Those States are like children, now, learning the way in which they should go I Give them all the lesson Do not let them have blessings." Teach them to repudiate! Force them to be dishonorable, 'whether they will or uot! The Republican party officials have shown the whole country how to steal the money of the Nation, are bent upon remedying the difficulty by teaching the whole country an easy way to pay debts Here we hare it rerealed to us, in plain English, without any gloating or equivocation, that Dobelbower regards debts contracted for the purpose of destroying the Government, and dissolving tbe Union, as honorable and juit, and insists that they should be paid by loyal and patriotic men-! He would not only burden the reconstructed Slates with an nn- just, unlawful and illofal debt, but he insists that the Government shoold be saddled with an amount of sufficient to pay the rebels for all the alares which have been liberated rebels."

"There are 41 colored tchools in this city and vicinity, witb 91 teacbers and 4,500 scholars. The expenses of these schools are defrayed by voluntary contributions from the north." And yet, shameful as it is true, the colored men are taxed in the District, and the Com. mon Council of Washington, appropriates all the funds thus raised, and uses them for the education of white children. That is a specimen of nobleness of soul and liberality of the Southern Chivalry!

(From the Spnagfiold Republican.) The pulpit needs a lecture from the people on tho length of sermons. Probably the ministers don't know il (il they do, they don't net upon it), but in ninecaeesout often ii sermon more man half an nourlong wem- ries un audience and is voted a bore. The number of clergymen who can interest an nudience longer than that time is very few, and even that class might make their efforts loubly effective by shortening them. Twenty minutes are often bettor than thirty, if they are filled with vital, stirring thought, which an audience can hoar and homo refreshed, instead of exhausted, at 'be close. It is some with preaching with eating thi mind is disgusted with a surplusage ot pulpit pabulum as tho stom- with overloading, and attrong but moderate diet is usually the best, in either caso.

Yet wo know of scores of excfillont ters who eit up nights and laboriously prepare lengthy and ponderous essavs for pulpit reading, when thev had much better be abed and asleep. Wo know of great many who in this enlightened nineteenth century never think of preaching less than three qaarters of air- hour, and leave the church scarcely ILSS fnt'gued than the congregation who have had the mistortune to sit in comfortless and hear it all. One erand cause of this evil 'he want of condensation in sermon-writing.

It is clearly by tho above extract that the peoplo of tbe South look upun the old Democratic party as dead, and that its very remains is an offense unto them.
