ALLEGED NULLITY OF 1HE EMANCI- PATION EDICT. ‘Yon practical manof atfairs Itseems alittle Jate in the day to discuss the nulllty of Presi- dent Lincoln's Emanelpation Proclamation; and yet rot, Welling opened theargument in the prtary mumber of the North Amertean Review, which ts continued on the same side by Rehard 1 Dana in the Issue of the sane verlodical for August, Both writers admit that the Emancipation Proclamation was a great polltieat acts that it was superseded by the amendment to the Constitution abolishing slavery; that it pre- sents a consplenons figure In Aineriean his- tory; but that the proclamation abolished sluvery, or was even a slep towards that de sirable consummation, is a deluston which they ure trying to remove from the prb- Me mind, Mr. Dana states lis po- sition fully when he says that what the Emancipation Proclamation “assumes to do is something which neither the President, nor Congr nor the whole, people of the loyal States, by amendment to the Constitu- tlon, or in any other manner, coutd have ef- fected.” ‘To justify this strong statement Mr, Dana goes on to deseribe how the coun- iry then stood, ‘The Southern States had de- elared thelr Independence of the Nation; hit orgunized a Confederate ollgurehy, based on, slavery, with a large army and an English bullt and equipped uavy that gave us great trouble at sea, ‘The final result of the War was then doubtful, and our Government fully recognized n state of belligereney be- tween the two powers, and acted upon the rules which prevail In public war. ‘The act of tho President was done solely as a“ war mnvasure” by virtue of the powers vested In him as Commander-in-Chief, and, as the region upon which the edict was to operate was beyond our military occupation and cone (rol,”? Mr. Dana thinks the only ques- tlon that we need ask fs, whethor aw -Commander-in-Chicf cotta effeetually do such an get, Ie holds that he could not; that the slavls would never have been liber ated except upon the suceess of the. Union armies nnd the overthrow of the Confederate forevs,—all of which may.as well be conced- ed, and as far asthe purely legal tectinleal argument Is concerned Mr. Dana may have walned his ense,. But what are tho facts? Tho President, and Congress, and the loyal States dented that the Unton had been constitutlonally dis- solved, ‘The President clatmed that he had as goad aright Iu South Caroline as he had in Massachusetts, and that if the Natlonal fag was insulted {1 Southern States, aud the Federal laws disobeyed, It was done at the peril of the actors, Largo armies were fn the field for no other purpose than to enforce the Inws in the so-called seceded States, War measures were resorted to for tho sumo yhrpose, Some of these uieasures ngalnst treason and rebellion may not have been in strict conformity with the Hleral requirements of the Constitution, and woukt have failed, per- aps, to have received the sanction of.(he Judlefal tribunals, In thnes of great public peril {tis not always possible to adhere toa strict construction of the organie law. ‘To dose would be to sacrifice the armies, and with them the Constitutionitself.

Even many: Democrats in the North wore patutully con cerned for fear the Constitutlon would fn rome way br “ violnted* by the President, or Congresy, or the Union armies In the cons duet of the War to save the Constitution, In tho dark days of 1803, Goy, Seymour, of New York, sald; “Wo now pausy to sce whit kind of # Government tt ls fur whieh we are asked ta pour out our blood and our trens- ure” Ie wanted the Rebels conquered ne- cording to the forming of Jaw. So did other Copperheads, In the debate in the United Stites Senate upon the question of employ- ing black ten da the War for the preserva: on of the Union, Senator Browning, of Mls nols, Interrupted Senator Howe, of Wiscon- sin, with tho remark that “there was no constitutional authority for i.” Mowe rev ited, “Let us doit then in the name of God and the Union,” The Proctunation of Eniancipation was issued In tho name of God and the Unton, anil ft the interests of humanity. From 1°60 to ISHH it was a terrible struggle for Natlonal esistenee. ‘The North was fighting for a stake infinitly greater than any written Con- atitution or other form of words, What if some portlonsof ithavebeon uxeveded,—what If the whole of It had been Int aside until the country was saved,—world thore not have been wisdom enough left to have re- adopted It or formed a new one? But who could reconstruct the broken arches of n tuned nation? The first duty of a Govern- ment ts to exist, and to asgert and malntain its right to exist. For this purpose a nation possesses certain war powers oniside of any written Constitution, «The President un- Voubtedly had this in view when he penned {hat ininertal instrinment, for the vital pas- sage reads ns follows: “Dy virtue of the Tower vested fa me as Commander-in- Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States in: thne of actual armed rebellion against the authority aud Government of the United States, nud as a fit and necessary war measure, . . . Ido order ant declaurethat all persons held as slaves within sald desig nated States are, and from hencefarth shatt be, free"? Mer, Dana contends, and perhaps theoretically correctly, that ‘no emanelpa- tion of slaves can be effected under the war power, except upon the condition of success- ful occupation.” ‘That was prectsely what was afterwards neeomplished, "The Unton armies did suc- cessfully ocenpy all the American territory then under control of the Rebels, The staves awere emanelpated. A constitutional amend: mont wea adopted and ratified by.the neces- sary number of States forever prohibitiug slavery, and all the reconstructed States have sinee consented to ILin. their new Constitue tions, Under the Constitution of the United States as it existed in 1860 and prior to the Rebellion, slavery was seeure in all tho States south of Mason & Dixon's Ine. Noth- ing could or would have disturbed it so long ng the peoply of those States remained loyal ta the Government, and been entitled to its protection by obeying its laws, But they got tneryand dissatistted because slavery was not nationalized, and they were not allowed to carry thelr slaves Into the ‘Territorios dedt- cated to freedom. ‘They went into an onmn- ized revolt, staked all on-the Issue of war, and they lost. Whether technically a nullity or not, the Emancipation Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln will ever remain one of. the most consptenons polltteal acts In American bis- tory. Tt touched the moral sense of every elvilized nation on the face of the globe, and recelved the hearty sanction of all Christen- don. It would have made the memory of Its iNustrlous author Immortal even If he had not seated the sacred instrument with his own blood. REDUCTION OF PASSENGER FARES, It is a general rule of all monopolies to de- mand the Areatest poss!ble compensation for the least possible service or consiteration, ‘The purpose of benetitlys or gratifylne the public Is always the lust Thought. This, asin rule, hus been the proetice of the ratload managers In this country, and any ylelding or conerssion In this particular has always been inade unter protest, it required years to Induce tho railroad mangers to tolerate even the Idea that ft was profitable to reduce the rates of transportation 20 per cent, and thereby in- ercase the volume of business 50 per cent; that theory was rejected ns opposed to all tho past history ant practices of railroadiam In this country. ;-The ‘Granger ‘ agitatton and legislation, ns well.as tha pros- tration resulting from (ie pantie, broke down the old theory, and tho aggregate of business performed since then, compared, with previous years, attests, tho, wisdom of the change, A great ald in accomplishing: this change has been the adoption of the steel rail; it has enabled railroads to duplicate, over and over, the amount of thelr transpor- tation at less cost than when the fron rail penuitted a limited tonnage. ‘Che railways have diseoyered that by a rednetion of the cost of transportation they ean mks greater profiis at fess mies on an immensely ine ereased business than was ever possible, or even to be hoped for, under the old system. It has at Jast oceurred to the management of Western railways thatthe passenger trafle Is equatly subject to the rile that a slight re- duction of the rates Is certain to swell the profits of the company because of tha great Inerease of business which Inevitably fol- lows, In facet, though the discovery by tho rallrouds that this rule nppiles to passenger trafic even more cortalnly than to the frelght business Js patent, the principle has only Just been put In operation, It has ;buen but a fow months since the Winols Cegtrat and the Alton & St. Louis Railways reduced their regular rates on passenger trnneporta- tion to three cents per mile, and agreed to Issue 1,000-nile tlekets for $25, or two and a half cents ver mile. Tho Rock Island Com- pany promptly followed sult, and now the Burlington & Quincy and tho Northwestern mhnonnee that after Get. 1 the regular local rates for pussengets on those roads will be reduced to three cents per mite, with'1,000- anite tletets at tho rate of two and a halt cents por mile, These rates aro a large concession to the traveling public, Thoy offer-an Indueement, for travel which far excveds tha seeming re- duetion In the price of fares. ‘The fares hitherto haye been from three and n half to four cents per mile, and fn sone enseg 1) exe cuss of those rates. "That tho reduction will Jead to a grent Increase in the number of persons traveling aul in the dlatnnees tray. eled fs beyond all_question and fs sustalned by all precedent. No stronger iNustration.ts required than in the ease of our city rall- ways, ‘The West Divislon and tho North Division Hnes are authorized by Inw to oxact five cents per ride, but these Companies sell tiekets in which thoy give twenty: four rides tor "$i, or ——ttwelvo yites fur 50 cunts, and the great bulk of thetr business fy done by the salo of tickuts, It Is not, however, that the Com- pany recelyes but one dollar for twenty-four rldes when If there were no concession it would get one dollar and twenty cents for tho sning servicu; that isnot the practieal re- sultof the reduction, ‘She result of the rule fa that because of the reduction in fare the Company recelyes two dollars for forty-elght rides, when in the absence of such a reduces tlon it would receive but one dollar, or one dlollur cad twenty cents, from tho lesser Humber of persons using the car, ‘The ensh receipts pf the Company aro thus greatly In- ereascd, while the percentige of expenses of the servieo rendered is enlarged to a nominal extent only. ; The scale of probuble travel, ag controlled hy the rate of fare exacted, may belllustrated by a pyramld of ascending prives. Hf the ox- trome rate be demanded, tho number whe can afford or who ure willing to pay such rate is small, If tho rate bo reduced, those who will use the rallways will increase; a3 the price of tlekets Is brought down, the number who can buy Hekets will Inercase la a proportion fur exceeding the mere percentage of reduc: tlon, and will go on increasing until the use of the railway will beeumo not only general but indlspensabdle, There can be no question that the gale of 1,000-mile tickets at two and atl cents per mile will lead thousatds to use tho railways where hundreds used them before, Men will side three times as often at that rate as they rode before, and whole families will take trips and minke Journeys where one member at the old rates would do the traveling forall, While tho publie will thank the wisdom which hins suggested this change. and while stockholders will he gratified by the Increase of travel nnd of net earnings resulting from this rute, it will be found that the rathways may go mueh farther and may improve on the good policy they have adopted, There are those who ean remember when tho rates fer the transportation of merehan- dlse by raft were equal to one-talf a cent per 109 pounds per mile. ‘Things have changed greatly since then, Now, it fs ascertained that merchandise ean be transported by rail 1,000 infles at cost to tho rallway company not exceeding 15 cents per 100 pounds, Tho cost of transporting passengers may exeved that of transporting merchandise to some extent, but not in any approximate ratio to tho present difference between pas- senger and merchandise fares, We do not stlzest that passengers and merchandise be enrried at the same rate per 100 pounds, but we do siggest that the rates for passengers ean be reduced to a uniform sum of two cents per nile for restlar rates, and leave the com- panies an immense protit, Such grate would minke local travel on all tho ronds leading to Chicago {mmense; It would necessitate larger trains and more of them, and fll them all, Itwonkd make travel between tho city and all points within an aren of S00 miles a regular and constant affair,—something that would be a matter of course to every man and familly In all the region traversed by tho rallways. Great as will be the benefit to tha public and the railways from the reduc- tlon of passenger fares to two and a half cents per mile, these benefits would be in- erensed in a for greater ratio if the fare should be reduced toa uniform rate of two cents permile, ‘To this the railways must. eventually come, when they have practically experienced the profits resulting from the re- duction already in THE REWARDS OF NATIONAL HONESTY. Senator Conkling, in his New York speech, enve a brief history of the passnge of the Re- sumption net. He proved that it was a mens- ure of Repudiiean origin; that it was passed through both Houses of Congress by Repub- lican votes; that it was signed bya Repub Mean Presttent; and that {t encountered only opposition and ridicule at tha hands of tho Democrats in Congress and out of Congress, He also hinted at the benefits which have ae- ertted to the country by reason of the public falth and honesty represented by the resump- tlonof specie payments at the earilest prac- tenable moment. But he had already de- voted so much of lis tne to. the elaboration of other important considerations that he was not able to trace out the good results of sumption to their full signifleance. Busluess-men may well employ some of. their lelsure, or some of tho the which they give to polltical matters, in thinking out the vast, far-reaching, anc universal advantages that have grown outof the maintenance of the National faith, the eredit for whieh 1s In- dispainbly due to the Republican polley. Some suggestions may be made which will nasist In ascertaining the tauglble results of Tesnuption, 1, Resumption was the fruition and the evi- dence of National credit, Before resump- ton was accomplished there were only pledges and proniises of good faith which appealed to the confldence of the world and the patriotism of the “American people, Re- suinption was the realization of those prom- iseg andthe redeription of these pledges, ‘The public credit was firmly established by this net of public’ honesty, It pad. From the tine that resumption became practically wu fait accompli. the Government began to reap tho benefits of its honest polley. ‘The Government 6 per cent bonds wero first funded into 5, then 434, and then 4 per cents, ‘the 53 were funded into 4s, ‘The outstand- ing Os and 53 will next year, If Gariletd is elected, almost certainly be converted upon maturity Into bonds bearing only 3!¢ per cent Interest, unless the Greenback polley of paylng them .off in order to exhangt the coin resourees of the Government shall prevail with the connivance and aid of the anti-Nationat Democrats, In this way the Government will have saved. fully $40,000,000 annually, or nore than a third of tho annual Interest-chargo upon the people, which must be patd by taxation. Take a purely utilitarian and sellish view of the euse; Ins not this course been more profit. able than would have. been any tax on the Government bonds, or other viohition of the pubhie faith? 2 But the saving to tho Natlonal Govern- mentropresents only a stnalt part of the gain wiich has acerucd to the people by virtue of Public Honesty, ‘There has been a eorrespond> ing saving—perliaps an equal saying—in the reduction. In the rates o£ Interest on debts paid by States, counties, cltles, and towns wich have followed tho axample of tha Ne- tional Government and maintained perfect falth with thelr creditors, ‘Thu ageregate of the State, munietpal, and local debts is ap malling, but great relief has come jn the re- duction by Cully one-third of the tax neces- aury to poy the Interest thereon, A fuw years ago the City of Chicago was compelled to pay Sand 9 per cent for its temporary ace commadations, and it is now able to re- fund {ts 7 por cent maturing indebteds ness into bonds hearing only 434 per cent Interest. This advantage comes pri- marily from the example in honesty whieh wits made by tho General Government, and whieh Chicago imitated by similar economies. and & counterpart of good falth, It may be sufcly estinmted that the interest chia ge on all Stteand munlelpal indebtedness through out the country, In comminnities which eom- mand the confidence of enpltal, will inn yery few years haye been reduced to two-thirds of what it had been before, by virtne of the honest polley whieh tha Republican party has maintained in the General Government, 9 Tha private and quasi-public corpora- tons have bien in due proportions the bene> fleluries of this policy, Tho ratlronds fur Wish a strikliug illustration of its workings. ‘Their ageregate bonded debt Is In excess of the National debt, and the cost of maintain- Ing It Is being proportionately reduced by re- funding ut lower Interest, While the Goy- ernment formerly pald 6 per cent, it now pays: 4, ad will shortly pay t #0 the railroad corporations which formerly pald 7 and 8 per: cent on thelr bonds, now poy 5, and will shortly bo nblo to. refund ot uo. stil lower rate Uf resumption of spccle vay- ments and the public faith be maintatned aud thelr own polluy correspond thereto, Tho ulterior benctits of this saving in interest gxtend to all classes, The public de> tive n benellt therefrom as well as the own ers of the rallroads, ‘Pho facilites of trans- portation ara oxtended, frelghts and fares are reduced, the tracks are renewed with steel rails, new connestions are established, better rolllug-stock is provided, and more employment is given to tabos,—and all this is done while the dividends remain as large as they were before, or are even Increased over tho pravloug average. 4. The same adyantage which has been on- Joyed by the General Government, the State and Jocal Governments, and the rallruad core purations has been extended to the people in their private and busiuess relations upon a much broader seale, ‘The fanner or the householder who has been carrylig a mort- kage and kept up the tnterest thereon ean re- new it, or so mueh of tas he destres still (o borrow, at two-thirds the previous cost.

They receive thelr pay promptly, Thelr families have more comfort fn Mfe, ‘The extenston of rallroads,. the construction of new rolling stock, thy running of more trains, the large amount of bullding that 1s gotng on in this and other cities, tho renewal of warehouses and ni- clinery, the running of mills and furnaces on tl time,—these and all the other elements of prosperity nnd progress have extended to the workhig classes thelr share of the bene fits that run back In Mie end to the mninte- nance of public faith, ng realized In tho re- sumption of speete payments. Can the Atherienn people seriously con- template a “change” rrom the condition of things we have deseribed and: which every: Intelligent man can recognize for himself? Is there the smallest temptation now to expert nent with the financial polley of the Goyern- ment? Iy there any reason why the Govern- ment should now retire the Nattonal-bank notes merely to double the amount of legal- tender paper in violation of the constitu- Uonal restriction defined by the Supremo Court?
