Recoils! ruction.
Tbo Richmond DispatcJi says that
"our Northern brethren, with won?
derful unanimity-even Democrats,
iu many eases, voting with the majo?
rity-have agreed to ratify thc consti?
tutional amenda* nt; that is to frame
new State constitutions for these
Southern Stale-, and pronounce all
our ablest and best citizens perjured
traitors."
Our Northern brethren admire
themselves very much in every point
of view, but if they had a strong
point (though tiny say who shouldn't)
it is generosity, forbearance and
nobility of position. We ?ire often
assured that history makes no men?
tion, since the earliest ages of any
"conquering nation," which imposed
such mild terms ou the vaucjnished.
They might have slain, banished or
hanged ns all for treason-others
would have done it in such a case
and, behold, they only require us to
overturn our own State constitutions
?flire fja&i to come iuto court and
plead guilty.
Whether the radicals are now going
to rely upon carrying out the consti?
tutional amendment by the votes of
t?te "represeuted States," and thus
forcing it upon the South by military
power; or whether they will rather
(Concentrate their strength upon Ste?
vens' enabling Act, which is to disa?
ble Southern men from voting upon
itheir own concerns in their own
States, we caunot yet predict. Bul
-as the Supreme Court stands right in
xhe way of both these projects, il
seems probable that they will en dea
vor, in the first place, to got rid o:
the Executive and judiciary hy car
rying through impeachment of tin
one, and consequent re-orgunizutioi
of the other.
And now comes another prepara
?fcory measure. Mr. Stevens ba
?added to bis "enabliug Act" :t claus
providing for the suspension of th
habeas corpus all over tlie South, an<
governing those Districts under mai
"tial law until the}- shall have bee
admitted lo representation upon th
new basis. It seems soniewhai
strange to propose thc enactment <
martial law over a territory so ?>r<
fouudly tranquil as tho.South is nov
but it is quite in keeping with t'i
radical theory that we are now :
war.
On the other b ind, may be ol
served a proposal which has just bee
brought into tho Kentucky Legisla
tnr?-a sarcastic paragraph on whic
tve published from thc New Yor
Herald ou yesterday-at proposal f<
'ten regiments o: infantry ..{o res?
all aggressions and maintain the prii
ciples of State rights," said troops t
be subject to the call and order <
the President.
?Ou the whole, it must now be ev
dent to the radical leaders that, a
"though their voyage on the trouble
sea bas been so fair prosperous, the:
are breathers ahead. The Preside]
and Supreme Court cannot be di
missed like a country postulaste
AU these indications and prognostic
foreshadow trouble, and iu the
eventuality may prove the Lliibili
of tue doctrine of republican G
vernments, and that the people a
incapable ol' self-government.
A REVOLUTION, INDEED. -Porn?
has tlie impudence to make the fi
lowing suggestion to Congress:
'?What the emergency demands ?
first, the repeal of tho laws which a
thorizc the President to appui:
heads of departments. This won
at once get rid of the whole Cabin?
from Mr. Seward, the heat!, dow
ward. The same or other laws mig
immediately be enacted providil
for the several heads of department
and limiting their terni of office
om; year, unless re-appointed ai
confirmed. The Senate might tin
'advise1 the President to bil the Sta
Department, tLu Treasury, ?iud tl
rest with gentlemen distinguish)
for virtue and patriotism. Jt won
be his constitutional right to wit
hold his assent, from the appointive
of any individual; but ho must a
point some one, and that appoh
ment must have thc sanction of tl
Senate. The result would be a coi
promise of personal preferences, ai
an agreement upon a *C iuet'"whi<
would be in harmony with Co
gross."
Of course, Butler, Forney, Sui
ncr, Brownlow and such like won
bc the only men "distinguished f
virtue and patriotism," who could
fourni by the Senate. This propo
tion is nothing less than a revol
tionary plot.
Benefit Lotterie-? at thc South.
The following paragraph contains
:i very high compliment to the reli?
gious sentiment and principles of the
Southern people, for their cou clem na?
tion and rejection ol" all doubtful
schemes of raising money for pa?
triotic and benevolent purposes. A
reputation for such consistency is a
jewel of inestimable value, it is to be
hoped that no pressure ol' poverty or
prospect of present ?ttl van to gc will
tempt any of our good people to in?
troduce inte' any of their laudable
enterprises, in any form or under
any name, thc objectionable feature
of chance purchases, which contains
in embryo the principle, and will
Certainly foster the passion that sus?
tains thc gaming table and the biro
bank. it is something to preserve
the reputation which the editor ol'
the New York Chr?Minu Intelligencer
ganerously awards to the South; it
is more to preserve our youth from
the paths which indirectly lead to
ruinous vice, and to withhold the
fair and the wise, the noble and the
good, from such compliances as will
enable the worst enemies of public
virtue to plead their example in ex?
tenuation of immorality and crime:
"LOTTF.UY CrAMitTjTNii.-The Chris?
tian Intelligencer, of New York, com?
mends the zeal of the Southern peo?
ple in repairing the waste of war and
restoring their literary and religions
institutions. Their efforts and sa?
crifices are truly praiseworthy. Re?
ferring to the action of the Tusca?
loosa Presbytery condemning the
purchase of lottery tickets tor the
ostensible "purpose of rebuilding the
.State University of Alabama, the edi?
tor says: 'We are glad to lind such
fidelity to principle-we fear that
many professing Christians at the
North may take a rebuke from this
Gulf State."'

SUMNER . ON TUF. PRESIDENT.-A
special despatch to the New York
Times, of the 19th, says:
Senator Sumner concluded his
j speech in tito Senate to-day, which
he was prevented from finishing yes?
terday because of the interruption o?
Mr. McDougal. It is the bitterest
excoriation of the President that has
yet been delivered in either house.
Nothing that the Senator himself has
yet said can equal it for severity o?
language aud emphatic denunciation.
As it is reported in fidl elsewhere,
your readers eau peruse it for them
selves. Reverdy Johnson spoke ir
reply, and made a good legal point
against the Senator from Massachu?
setts by asserting that if the trial o
impeachment should come before
I the Senate, he hud disqualified him
self from silting thereon by the*s<
?expressions of opinion, and shouh
be peremptorily challenged from t lu
I panel of jurors. Mr. Johnson thei
j went on in a palliating defence o
the President; which, conting fron
; one of his friends, was not mue1,
i better in effect than the strong lan
j guage of Mr. Sunnier. The debat?
i filially closed with the passage, nt .
j o'clock, of tlc bill under considera
j tion, vi/.: thc tenure of office bill, b;
?a vote ol' twenty-nine yeas to nin
I ?mys.
THE IMPEACHMENT. -The Now Yoi-'
j Times, of Saturday, has the foll?n
Ling brief editorial on this subject:
President Johnson, we understand
is in nowise alamied'at the nienacin;
demonstrations made against him i
Congress. If impeachment be detei
mined upon, in a constitutional way
ho will throw no bar in the way c
the fullest investigation of ever
charge, personal and political, apo
j which it may be founded. On th
! contrary, he will do all in' his pt.we
to secure tho most searching invest:
gation into tho facts of every accusn
j (ion contained in the articles draw
i up. Of course, it cannot but be t
j the last degree disagreeable and ai:
j iioying to such :i man as Andre1
Johnson, to undergo trial upon sue
grounds as those which have bee
put forth. But if tho ordeal mus
come, the more fully every circuit
stance is elicited, and the moro tin
? roughly eaeh point is tested, themor
! satisfactory must be the result to hin:
i self while he remains President,
well as in the view of his future pos:
i tion in history. In fact, so far as r<
; gards Mr. Johnson himself, there i
every reason, considering thc lengt
j to which the thing has now gout
I why he should earnestly desire thu
! it be carried through. Detter fe
I him even that he should be threat
j coed with removal from office, on a<
I count of some of the charges relic
j on to secure ?hat result, than that h
j should rest, without investigatioi
j under other of the imputations tin
j have been brought against him.
_ . . -.- -
COMMERCIAL FAILVRES.- By a r<
j port made by a commercial house i
j New York, ifc appears that, darin
i 1866, there were 632 commercial l'ai
ares in the Northern Slate.; of th
Union, of which thc total liabilitic
amounted to $47,338,000. This is
j greater amount than has been lost b
i failures in bhc Northern States durin
any year since 1861. In 1865, th ci
were 530 failures, with $17,625,00
losses. In the entire country, durin
1865, there-were 1,505 failures, wit
j $53,783,000 lossc -.
COLORADO AND NEBRASKA.-The
pr?cise terms on which these two
States are to be admitted, are tims
.set forth in the bill now before the
President:
SEC. 3. And be it further enacted,
That this Act shall go into effect with
the fundamental and perpetual con?
dition that within said State of Ne?
braska there shall lie no abridgement
or denial of the exercise of thc
elective franchise or any other
right to any person by reason
of rac ; or color, excepting In?
dians not taxed; and upon thc
further fundamental consideration
that the Legislature of said State, by
a solemn oath, shall declare the as?
sent of said State to the said funda?
mental condition, and shall transmit
to the President of the United F . s
an authenticated copy of said . t,
upon the receipt whereof the Presi?
dent by proclamation shall forthwith
announce the fact, whereupon said
fundamental condition shall be held
as a part of the organic law of thc
State, and thereupon and without any
further proceeding on the part of Con?
gress, the admission of said State into
the Union shall be considered ascom
plete. The said State Legislature
shall be convened by the. Territorial
Governor within thirty days after the
passage of this Act, to act upon the
conditions submitted herein.
This, of course, keeps these two
States out up to March 4th, at least.
RADICAL DESPATCH.-A despatch
to the Washington Chronicle, dated
New Orleans, 18th instant, says:
"Owing to the failure of the cotton
crop, planters are willing to sell a
portion of their large tracts to Yan?
kees and to niggers. In-many eases,
farms and parts of farms have been
sold to the slaves that formerly work?
ed on them, a little cash being paid
down, the balance in cotton to be
grown iu future years; but in many
parts of the State, life, and espi cially
black life, is terribly insecure. Mur?
ders of the poor blacks are so com?
mon that they are scarcely noticed,
j Civil law there is. but no justice. In
Mississippi, parts of Tennessee and
Arkansas, Union men lind no better
chance of justice than the negro.
Louisiana stands rather better, but
j through all the South the difficulty
! is, that there is not sufficient power
in the Freedmen's Bureau. There
are but few of the Counties that have
an agent, and without tho aid of tito
military they can do but little in any
County. In some Counties, an agent
j would not be safe himself."
j END OF THE NEGRO DISTURBANCI
NEA I; SAVANNAH.-The arrival ol
Gen. Scott from Charleston, yester?
day morning, had the effect of ad?
justing the difficulties on Ddt;:
Plantation. The General proceeder
to the island, and after addressing tin
negroes for nearly an hour, explain
ing the orders from tho Freedmen's
Bureau; informed thurn that i
would be necessary foi- them to eithei
i contract or leave the plantation. Tin
colored people appeared delighted ti
s:i- the General, and freely consente<
j to either contract or leave the laud:
i by Monday next. The poor freed
; men have been duped and impos?e
I upon hy an unscrupulous, rockies
! and designing man. who bas sough
notoriety, aud would doubtless b<
glad to have some action taken cit ho
by the civil or military authorities
which would place bini in the light o
a bleeding martyr. Gen. Scott ba
wisely refused to grant this reques
by thus summarily disposing of th
matter. -Savannah Republican, 2Zd.
The clerks of the Attorney-Gene
J r.d's office are busily engaged in pre
paring the list of persons who .wer
engaged in the rebellion and hav
been pardoned, to be furnished t
the House. The list ol' those win
left?the United States Congress, tin
j anny and navy, and those who bel
: commissions as generals in the rebe
I army, was sent to the House a fe-v
I days ago. When completed, the lis
I will comprise nearly 1S,000 names,
j General Howard, Commissioner e
the Freedmen's Bureau, has just rc
j terned to Washington from an e^
tensive tour through thc South, an
reports affairs in a satisfactory condi
; lion. The freedmen are doing bette
j than at any period since the close o
! the war. while there is now almos
an entire absence of outrages. Gen
j oral Howard is preparing a report oi
? his trip.
Tiri-: NEW CONSPIRACY.-The rebe
i banquet held in Washington on th
Sth inst., ostensibly to celebrate th
anniversary of New Orleans, wa
availed of to disclose thoprogramm
of the new conspiracy for the ovei
' throw of the Government down t>
the point of another civil war.
i [y-or/ifj/'s Washington Chronicle.
I New York street corners art! nov
j adorned by glass pavilions, the pane
i ol' which are moveable, and bear th
cards of advertisers. One pane cost
$70 per year. The idea is borrowe
j from Paris, where $300,000 in gol
per year is realized by a similar cn
torprise.
