THE POLICY OP TSE KEPUBLXCAXS. b
The hiatory of the paet two montha cltorly g
bows tlio settled policy of ihc dominant party p
to treat tbe Southern States at conquered c
provinces, and to restore them to the enjoy- t]
m?nt of political rightB only on oonditions Ri
which would deprive them of all political pow- p
?r iu the Union. The design to delay their |(
reiteration was early manifested iu the appointment
of tbo Congressional Reconstruction c,
Committee, aud hae been abundantly confirm- 4
?d by tbe proceedings of Congress and the ^
declarations. of its avovrod leader*. It was v,
shown in the refusal on the part of Congrow to t,
repeal the test oaths, thus imposing upon the ^
representative a qualification unknown and ,
repugnant to the Constitution?a test whioh 0
ooold not be obriated by any present or fu- c
tare loyalty, aud to meet whioh iuvolvod a f,
recreancy to all the inatinobs and itnpulsos of a g,
trae ci'iceu and proper representative. The j
policy is manifest in the Bill which is now j,
condinp in the Senate fur Hip ?nn(!nti<n??
? o " VJ? ^
the Frecdraen's Bureau, Had which will readily j,
pus both Hontee?a measure which perpet- a
nsjea a foreign jurisdiction, repugnant to our 0
feelings, derogatory to tho rights of the States
and incompatible with the enjoyment of civi! r
-liberty. The policy is clcarly indicated in the p
late resolution of the Hons*, calling upon the p
President to suspend the withdrawal of troops ^
from the Sooth until euoh time as Congrces ^
ehall deem expedient?still further, in varioue jj
billa introduced for the establishment of tcrri- p
torial gorernmenls at the Sooth, and all look- p
irg to the indefinite postponement of oor ree- w
% toration. la carrying ont this policy, the t>
1 Radicals bare not aoropled to involve them- b
aelveain ft tangled web of inconaiatencies.? j,
They have praeticaliy disavowed tbeir owo p
theory of government, nnd bare repudiated u
t!ie principles which could alone justify thei
legislative and executive action for the paat ]t
four yaara. They have admitted a diuolntion A\
of tbeUoion and that by the action of tbe ^
Statea themselves?that, after all, the late war jj
waa aometbing more tban a rebellion. With
what consistency then can they bold ua guilty <j]
of treaaoD, and an6tain tbe various proclaraa- ^
tiona of the Executive or Acta cf Confiscation y
passed by Congress t Consistency, however, y,
is a virtue to which the Radicals lay no olaim, u
and they hold ne to be io 01 oat of the Union ^
as may beflt suit party-purposes. We are in w
the Union whan called upon to diacliarge the p,
do ties and obligations which it imposes?to 4,
pay oar share of the taxer, and to sustain our
quo to of the national debt, but out of tha (a
Union whan wo demand the raciprooal rights tlj
which their perTormanaa pre supposes. p
But after we have undergone an indefinite gj
probation, upqn what terms do.the Radiaals ^
propose to reatore ua to the fraternity, of 8t]
States! They would admit tia under an -
? J.
amended Constitution imposing such terms and t;
restrictions as would deprive us of all political ^
power, or any capaoity to affect their own jfl
party triumphs. Prominent among these pro- ^
posed amendmenta, is the proposition, to limi^
Southern representation to the voting population
only?thoa toroing the South either to lose
more than one third of its representation or to tl
extend the elective franchise to the blaoka. ?
Bhould the letter alternative be adopted, they O
would promise themselves an acoeaion of party ft
strength from their black co-adjotors. Be- T
twean the two alternatives, we do notsuppose bi
that the people of the South would hesitate tl
long. Sooner would they forego all Federal in
representation than 'extend an unrestricted p
franchise to the negro. To n? witv ?1 '*

PRIVATE THEATRICALS.
One of the meet pleasant entertainment* of
be season was prisented for the gratification
if a snail aadieoca on Thursday evening last,
n the ahape.of a number of *ary attraolire
ilaye, in whiob the charaoters wet* perlonated
>y several of the young ladies and gentlemen
f our Village. It wae a rari/al of the very
mpnlar amusement contributed by the "Thesiana"
before tha war, with this novel feature,
nd very deoided improvement, that the female
haractera were represented by ladiea. Hon at
ieet can furnish only an inadequate ropresendtion?a
"counterfeit presentment'' of.the othr
sex, which may pass current with theirown.
iwt cannot elude the scrutiny of those "who
ro to the manner born." The thin gaise is
enetrated, and whatever Protean farm tha
haraoter may eaauuie, "llie man's the man for
' that." A charm of thp?? ?Vill?o? tu.i.:
- . ?u?kir
aU" arises from the sympathy which exists bewc?n
(be performers and the qudtence, and
rliicli furnishes a source of oonstant interest*
part from the nature of the play or the merit
f the acting:. The performers are fast friends
nd earlj' associates?the audience are'eympa
biting relatives and acquaintances. Well
nown characters assume new phases, and it is
iteresting to mark how far real characteristics
re mergad in the assumed, and individual peouiarities
lost in the representation. Above all,
liere is something in the freshness of youthful
njoyment aud in the radiance of ita sunny
opts, which is atjall times and to all, irrasisti
Iy Bttrncti**?to the joung who enjoy the full
ommunion of it* glowing hope*, and to the old
rho.onec sgain look with youthful eyes upon
fiat wfftld, whiuh has proved to be but a "iloge
nd all the m$n aod women merely player*."
tut a truoe to reflection.
The first piece, of the very attraotire proramme
of the eveuingY entertainment was
The Dond Wiot," so well known to those of ue
rho have ?eon it performed by the "Thespiana"
f old. Louisa, was personated by Miss Jane
' ; Chatter, by Miss Rom B.; C*pt. Cannon,
y Mr. Willie M.; Heotor Tiuiid, by Mr. Bu<}ne
A. ; Mr. Wiseman, by Mr. Clark W.;
rederick Thornton, by Mr. George W. The
haracters were all well sustained?such was
lie universal impression?and it requires no
iretch of gallantry to admit that this was meciaily
true of thoae personated by the young
idies.
The next piece was a ?haradc?'Thantom"?
ansiilincr of Iwo wnrm * m?.? ?< "?
era know, a charade it a riddle, the aubject of
hioh is a word consisting of syllables, each of
rhioh furnishes an enigma, and together unite
3 give point to the whole word. Here, the
Iagiaian'a wand that movoe the action of the
rholo piece is a ledy's fan., and, in the hands
f the fair heroine, the very susocptible heart
f the hero, Tom, who with the characteristic
aoility of the name, ia aoon immersed in a love
erape. Tom ia the clerk of a Wall Street
tanker, and the first acsnc ahows how the fair
eroine attracted by an advertisement in the
Ttrald, and aocoinpanied by ker mother, came
i search of the lost property, and carried
way aemeihir.g more, in the auaccptible heart
f our young hero.
The fer.ond arene discloses visions of love and
omanoe which now dawn upon the hitherto
roiaic life of our hero?showa how the young
eople were willing but the old lady inflexile?how
the "golden applea" were guarded
y an Argus eyed keeper in a negro Claudiua?
ow Claudius, like Achillea bad his vulnerable
oint, and hpw he was overcome by Tom'* spearing
suddenly before hitn, arrayed in a
'bite sheet, as a veritable "Phantom"?finally
ow the old lady's scruples were otiviated
y our hero's entering into partnership with
ia employer, and the hopes of tbe young peo1s
realised in that other partnership?"eonaumlation
devoutly to be wished"?matrimony.
The characters were all well sustained?the
>vo acenas eon amort. Mr. Jiramia B., personted
the Banker, Mr. George W., our hero Tom,
lies Belle 9. the "inexorable duenna," and
lisa Sophie B., the fair heroine.
Lastly but not "leaatly" followed "The Toolea"?
the inimitable Toodles, with Misa Marie
r. aa Mra. Tabilha Toodles, Miaa Belle S. aa
iry, Mr. Tnlly B. aa Timothy Toodlea, Mr.
rillie M. aa the Naval Officer, Mr. George W.
i Frank Acorn, Mr. Robert McB. ?a G?orge
corn, Mr. Clark W. aa the Lawyer. The piaoe
aa admirably performed?with a proper ap-cciation
of time, place and circumatancaa, and
le regard to "the modeety of nature."
An attraetive feature of the evening'a enter
inment, wae the very choice musio by the
ibbeville Glee Glob," led by Mr. J. Liry
and Mr. John A. T. The whole afr
waa a deeided evKceaa and no email

WASHINGTON NEWS. 1
W'ABniNOTow, January 19.?Tho House of
Representatives has passed the nprro suffrago
bill, aud though it applies only to thfa District, c
over which Congrees nas exclusive jurisdiction j
yet, in faot, it is a declaration of purpose to ,
1-a.iaua wie principle lo ereiy Stato in the i
South. Id fact, it is n declaration of equality |
following that of libert3'. The black race is (
to be the pet race of the North, and, on all t
occasions, and for every purpose, to be pre- t
ferrei by the United States Government lo the t
whites. A new era opensupon u?.
The declaration of the dominant party in
the Senate, dhow that it is their purpose, either f
by legislation or constitutional amendments to i
keep the Southern States out of the Uniou ;
for they admit that tho foroed adoption of the I
President's measures ought to be, and will be ,
repudiated by them. The Radical Republicans
will be satisfied with nothing short of n .
social war, in which the negroes ehall triumph.
All these measures tend to that end, and to
this purpose is proposed the staBdiog array of
seventy-seven regiments, consisting, in large
part, of black troops. 1
This party, if thoy long hold power in Congress,
will compel national bankruptcy. Is it i
not a part of their ecbetpel Some things look <
like it. I .
Conservative men, who are out of politics. 1
remark that Congress is wrong in opposing reconstruction,
inasmuch as the grouna of opposition
is that the Southern representation will 1
not agree politically with them; aa idea which
is subversive of free government, of whioh a 1
free representation of the popular sentiment is I
the only foundation. i
The destruction of slavery is tbus likely to 1
be attended by the loss of liberty.
It is idle to speculato upon the action of
President Johnson when the frfcc Degro suffrago 1
bill for the District shall came before him. It
is pressed upon him for the very purpose of a J
forced oud distinct issue. If he yields to-4he
storm he will ever afUr during the remainder \
of his terra be necessarily subservient to the ]
views and purposes of the dominant party.? (
People generally think that he will yield to
eircumBtanceB and sign the bill. Others think
that he will return it, with his objections, and '
throw upon Congress the entire reuponeibility '
of inaugurating a policy of negro equality. " '
.... vHunutuu ucic^aica, six oreeven in Dumber,
after an agreeable interview with the ,
President and eorae of liia -Cabinet, have gone ]
to Richmond. They will have fine weather (
for their visit, nud 1 hope will he pleased with
it. They hiive stated hero that they do not '
come with any propositions for the repewal of
the Reciprocity Treaty, but only to exchange
views upon the subject of the future relations
between the North American British proviu- 1
ce?. (
Behind the Sckxks ix wafntkoton.?"We i
learn from private advices from a well-inform- \
ed source, that the following Republican Sen- {
ators may be relied on, npou teat vote, to sustain
the President: Doolittle, Morgan, llarri?, *
Stewart, Cowan, Trumbull, Dixon, Henderson,
Anthony. Lane, of Kansas, and Lane, of Indiana.
The Democrat*, who number ten in J
the Senate, will uphold him to a man, which

the Senate. Io the House, .tlie calculation is
not so favorable, but enough it now known to
satisfy all parties of the impossibility of passing"
any measure over the President's veto.?
This secures to the Executive, beyond a per adventure,
littimaU tiiwmph. Congress has never
vet been able to sustain, and successfully conclude,
any war with the President whioli was
begnn with less than a two-thirds vote. It is
expected that the admission of the Tennessee
delegation will be the first trial of real strength,
although the radicals would prefer to make s
"negro suffrage in-the District the question ;
but the President is known to feel a great personal
as well as State interest in the former -i
issue. Slid ill sdiimfmont will In tli? Anfiitlnaii?

The President and General Grant treat with t
proper indifference the attempt of the House
of Representatives to take command of tha
army- That body, it will be r?memb?red, i
adopted a resolution, some tea. or twelve days *
ago, declaring it inexpedient to diminish tne
number of troops now auoking their thumbs
in Southern garrisons, but the . constitutional 4
head of the army takes such intrusive advice
at what it ? worth, and noes on withdrawing
the troops?thus at the same'lime diminishing
the sice of the army and carrying out it* pa- ojfie
policy for Southern rsconatruotion and
self-government. A few days since we hud the
newa that the greater part of the large mili- ?
tary force, black and white, whioh haa been
for some time past in the State of Texaa, was
ordered to be mastered ont of aerviee; and
again on Saturday last orders were received at
Fortress Monroe to mnsteF oat *11 the volunteer
troops in that department?the carrying
