This amendinent has been pleaded by tho Northern Democrats ns a supposed bar to tho allowance of any Southern claims, for damages or losses by war. This isn weak dlovice, purposely employed to decelyo those unfamiliar with tho nature and character of those ciahins, ‘Tha amundment prohibits tho 3s but wl euch sdubts, ations, and claims shall be held legal aud payment. of sny debt fncurred tn ald of tho Rebelllon by the Confeder- ney or by any State or municipal Goverment, and It also. prohibits the pay- ment or compensation for slaves lost or emancipated, and that Is all that It pronibits, ‘Tho prohibition uf oven theso debts deponds for Its eMicacy upon the maintenance of this amendment, and the validity of the adoption of this amendment ts denied by the Govern: wents, tho jualelary, and the people of nt least sixteen of the States of the Union, and the valldily of that amendment will be among the first questions tested when the Democratic party obtains control of the I ecutive nnd the Judleinry of the United States, But ihis amendment does not direct- ly or Mndireetly bar or prohibit the allowances and payment of tho vast array of other claims, compared with whieh tho Rebel debt 4 iid the price of the slaves are small, in 1861 Congress levied a direct tux upon all tho States proportioned nceording to rep- entation, ‘Chis tax was pald by all the Northern States and partially by some of the Border States, and by the Rebel States after the War, ltis now demanded that so mueh of this tax as was collected of. tho Rebel States, $2,492,110, shall be refunded, with twenty years’ Interest, by tha United States, after tha War n tax was lovled on sales of cotton and petruleum, just as there had been ntaxon silea generally; the tax on cotton Was $68,000,000, which, with Interest, would how amount to $170,000,000, and this it 1s de- manded shall bo pald not ta the cotton-pro- ducers, buttothe “ States” In which the cot ton was grown!

The constitutioanl amendment does not come within gunshot of them, Tho crrorof the distinguished speakor Is moro puzzling, beeaude, as reported, he falid in anothor part of his address recently, that the Republican majority in Congress hitd mill $100,000.00 of such claims, ‘This, | presuing, a trite, Hf he means that Republicans have voted to pay Union mon whose property was taken for publig use tho value of tho proporty so taken. {Applause Rut whether correct in the amount ornot, ho 16 certainly correct In auy> ing that tv: y has been so pald, Does not how that such clilms aro not the Constitution?

These elatmg embrace every variety of loss or daniage Incidental to war, Lt isn univers sal law of nations that during a war all the Inhabitants of the enemy's country are sub- Jeet to the rules of war, and have no claims or demands upon the victors for any compen- sation for any damages or losses sustained by them In that war, ‘The consequences of the war are to be sustained by those who aro defeated. Hence It is that no persons resid- Ing within the Confederate Iines or territory Nave any legal demand upon the United States fur any loss or damage sustained by them during the War. It fs beenuse this Is the universal Jaw that the demands of the Southern people ure “clalms,” and not legal demands, a3 they would bo Sf under any known law they were entitled to com pensation, ‘hoy ask compensation as a benevolence; they appeal to tha discretion of Congress, and not to any principle of Justice or recognized Jaw, If they had any legal warrant for payment, all thoy would have to do would beta present their deuiands to the ‘Treasury officers and be pale, and in every case where there waa the slightest legul obligation the money has been pal, Congress has gone further, and relaxed the Jaw to the extent of paying {ull compensa: tlon for Insses and damages, wheraver the suiferer could prove that during tho War and when the loss was fustained ho was nota participant in the Rebellion, and was loyat tothe Union, ‘Tuis was entirely ontslde of aud beyoud anything of the klad ever pre- viously dono by any other nation in Cliriaten- dom, and over $10,000,000 have been pald. since the War to men nt the South for Jouses sustained by them for which no responsl- bility or nbilgnuion rested upon the United States, aud In eases where the claimants could estublish tholr personal loyalty to the Government of the Union, Who, then, aro the present clainants? ‘They are nen who were engaged In the Re- Delllon, AM others tava been paid. Tho presont clalinants are (lose whose purtlelpa: Hon in the Rebellion Is confessed, ‘They ask compensation for horses, mules, and othor property taken; they ask foreroys destroyed. by the trampling of arnies; they ask rants tor property aeeupled by camps und quar- ters; they avk compensation for fuet con- Rumed, for property destroyed by fro and in butte; they ask pay for the use of fields on which battles have been fought, and on which the dead have been buried; they ast compensation for property taken by Union troops, and they ask compensation for proper- ty taken and destroyed by Confederate troops to prevent Its felling into the hands of Union armies; they ask for damages to bulldings injured or destroyed by cannon and muxketry daring battles; they ask pay for crops lost because of the pendency of war and the want of labor to gather then, —the whites being In the Rebel ranks nid tho slaves moved away. ‘They axk compensa- tlon fur the use of rallways and steaniboats employed by the Rebols and not pald for, amd captured from the Rebels ant used by the Union troops in the Union service; they ask compensation for all property taken, consumed, and destruyed by the Confeder- ales $n thelr retreats before Union armies; they ask pay for crops not grown, but whieh would have been grown had there been no war and no emancipation of slaves, Tho possible magnitude and Intinit: ya riety of thesa claling can be falutly Image ined when It ts remembered that the War lasted four years, and was carried on mainly in the enemy's country, ‘There Is hardly o man ora family at the South whe waa note sulferer, and there ts notone who ly not on possible clahuant. ‘Lhe first Democratic Legislature of Missourl after tho War ap- potnted a Commission to porpetuate the ovl- dence of losses sustained by individuals In that State, and the nmount of elalins proved tp In less than six months was over $100,- 000,000, This was aoven years ago, when thera was no expectation of a Democratic President and Congress to pay such claims, Now that State can prove tp claims to $700,- 000, ‘Tho scheme of obtalning payment for these logses hing been pertinaclously. pressed by the Demoernts in Congre A most per- sistent effort ins been made by the Demo- eraty to. repeal the requirement that the elatmant was a loyal citizen and had not pare ticpated In the Rebellion, Fafling this, they have resorled to haying claims presented by wiiows, or sisters, or aunts, or children of maen who had served in the army or served in the Rebellion, insisting that these were non- combatants, and, because of thelr sex or age, cond not have been Rebels, ‘The effort tins been made to break down tha universal law ot war, and to pet even a precedent mider which a deluge of clalins, far exceed: Ing the Unfon debt at the close of the War, would be gdimitted, placing the property, tho Inbor, and the industry: ofthe country under an additional mort- gage that will require a century to discharge, ‘Vo admit these elatins would toe to place a mortgage on every farm tu tha Northern States equal to $5 per acre, to be pald with interest during tho noxt century. ‘These ary the claims, speelmens of whieh are now pending before Congress, aud which cannot aggregate Jess than $§2,700,000,000, which will be demanded of Congress, ant which will only require © tnjority vote In each House and tha Presttent’s approval to become a charge upon the Nation and a bute den under whieh the whole North must stax ger. Allthat is needed, therefore, to make tho people of the North not only pay the War debt of the Union and tho private losses of Union mon, but also the entire War losses of the people engaged in the Rebelllon, Is to elect & Democratic Prestitent A PARTY WITH TWO FAOES. Gon, Weaver, the Greenback candidate for President, has evidently mace up tite mind that ft Is about tlne to put the brakes on Democratle euthustasm over a reported Greenback victory In Malne. To bas done this very effectually by sending Gen. inis- fed, the Greenback candidute for Governor of Maine (who was at first reported to have been electert), the fullowing dispatel: T congratulate you on thegrand fight you havo mady in Maine for the National Greenback Labor party. Tt will inspire our friends with contldence, and strengthen thom for the great. Ditties whieh remuln to be fought.

Let us all rejulee, dAstES Il, WEAVER, Gen. Weaver showed a keen senso of humor when he adopted for his congratu- latory message the very same phraseology which Gen. Hancock used. Hancock tele- graphed Waisted that his election would “inspire our frlends with confidence and strengthen them In the preliminary battles which remain to be ‘fought elsewhere,” Weaver says the same thing, but he takes pains to point out who * our friends * ore, He says.they are not the Democrats, who aro “masquerading behind the Greenback party.” Ho reentls the fret that tho Green- backers in Maino refased to ninke any con- eesslong to the Democrats, and that the Intter swallowed both the Greenback eandidate and tho Greenback platform; and, while he congratulates the Democrats on what he concelves to be “ goo sense”? In voting tho Creenbaek ticket, he reminds. them that they would have fallen about 40,000 votes short of carrying the State If ‘they had made asep- arate party fight. ‘Tis dispatch from Qen. Weaver exposes completely the linpertinence of the Demo- crats in celebrating tho reported election of Gow. Plalsted. Tie ‘Trmusn tndieated the ubsurdity of this business at onco; but whon tho Greenback candidate for Presi- dent also ridfcules it, the Demveratic pre- tense of a party victory {1 Maine becomes: strikingly Indierous,—ttoubly so from the fact that even the Greenbackers do not ap- pear to have enjoyed the trhunph whieh the Democrats were celebrating. ‘The Demo- crata were shouting over 6 victory of another party whieh had not taken place, If any- thing more absurdly contradictory than this cnt be Imagined, the Democrats may be sate- Ty trusted to discover it, But there is 2 serious ns well as a lndi- crous site to this Democratic adoption of a reported Greenback victory in Malne, 2t was an quthoritative notice that the Demo- erats nro prepared to adapt any theortes whieh thoy may be persuaded will ald them in the purpose of securing the ofices ant restoring a “Solld South’? to supremé pow- er, Gep. Hancock gaye this Insincere and daugerous poliey the stump of his approval when ho telegraphed ils congratulations to Gen. Piaisted and tuo Greenback party of Malne, Hancock is running as hard- money candidate for President, Tu his letler of neceptaneo ho gave hie ap- proval to the Deraocratic platform, which explicitly declares in favor of “honest monoy—the strict maintenanes of the pubis fuith---conslating of gold and silver, and pa- per convertible into coln on demand.” ‘Tho party which tried to elect Gen, Plalsted Gay- ernor of Maine Is nvowedly, porsistently, and Uncompromisingly opposed to thia poli is In favor of doubling the present yolume of Iegal-tonder notes by substituting thom for the National-bank notes, and of exhausting the United Stutes Treasury of its coin re- sources by paylng off the bonds which mature. next year Instead of rofund- ing thom.

At fs entirely new In substance and in form, atleast so faras the people of Chicago are concerned. It Is the first lecture, If we ate not mistaken, In which Col. Ingersoll has recognized the srentness of the manhood or teachings of Christ. For tho first tne he seems now to admit that the founter of the Christian religion was greater, In ntl the es- sentials of wisdom, merey, and truth, than Confuctus, or Buddha, or Zoroaster, ortheat- thor of the Mosule dispensation itself. “For the man Christ,’ said the lecturer, “1 have Infinit respect. ‘Che pluce where man- las dled for man is holy ground. Let ine say once for all, to that great and serene man, I gladly pay—L gladiy pay the tribute of, my adintration and niy tents.” But the tecture is net remarkable only, or chiefly, for the homage it pays to the char- avter of Christ. It contains statements of the most startling Import, many of then new to the Inlty at least, and calculated, if not met and refited, to unsettle the faith of thousands. ‘The statement relating to the lospel of St. Matthew is one in polnt. Col. Ingersoll reviewed, or professed to review, the whole of that Gospel,—the. first, the Jongest,. the most elrcumstantint, and on tany accomnts the most important book in the Now Testament,—the only one contain- Ing the full genentogy and early life of Christ,—and he asserted that it nowhere tenehes the doctrine of salvation by faith; that It Imputes no words to Christ which ean innke bellef a necessary part of the Christian seheme of salvation of souls; that, on the contrary, It constantly holds out the promise of salvation by works, deeds, and conduct alone. Cu). Ingersoll made these strong as- sertions: Thave read you everything in Matthow on the subject of salvation, hut ts all there ts. Not one word wboyt believing auything, It ls tho gospel of decd, the gospel of charity, tho goapel of aeif-denii, nnd bf only that gospel had been preached perseeution would never have shed One drop of bloat. Not one, Now, according to the testimony, Sutthow woe wall nequalnted with Chriat. Aecordiug to the teatimony’, b been with Him aud His compunton for years, If Ie war necessity to belleve anything in order to ket to Heaven Matthow should hive told us, ‘This statement traverses the theory that belief in the atonement and divinity of Christ is essential to salvation from Hell, 16 ig true the lecturer found tn the other Gos- nels passages which pronounced the most fearful penalties against those who should not belteve; but he declared these passages to be interpolations, Ie satd they were in consistent with themselves and with each other, And with much foree he argued that, If belief were the great and casentinl thing to eternal bilss, Matthew must havo suid so, In an Insplred communication, writ ten by an Apostle and an Evangellst, one who heard the words of Jesus as thoy fell from His lips, how could the maln condition of salvation, the sine qua non, bo omitted ? —this, in brief, is the arguinent of Col, In- gersoll, Men tearned in divinity, who have consid- ered objectionyand criticisms of this kind per hapsimany times, and disposed of them to thelr own sausfaction and that of thelr congrega- tlons, may bo amused at the perthincity and the earnestness of Ingersoll. ‘They may find du the vast audlences which gather to hear hin only fresh evidence of the perversity and depravity of the human imlad, But there ts another faso of the subject which must and will recelve the attention of the clergy. ‘Thoy must Interpret theso great ,oulpourings of the peoply as Indleatlons of religious unrest aud discontent, ‘They must see in such meetings, addressed by such an orator on such a theme, a social fenomenon of very great fmportance, and une that no minister of. the Christian religion can afford to neglect. Lngersgtl is preachtuy the dovtrlne of ngnostielsm or religious know: nothingisin, and bls Clrele of hearers Is grow- {ng rapidly wider and wore attached to hia ‘Theso are facts whiel no clergyman can ige nore, Heretofore thelr complaint has been Chat Ingersoll gave them nothing speetic, nothing tangible, to lay hold upon, But this difientty las been remover by the hast lecture, Here Js something specitic. Here isa distinct allegation, According to Ingcr- soll, the Gospel of St. Matthew contains “not one word abont belleving anything” fs a condition of salvation; itiy ‘the Gospel of deed,” he says; At telly men that they oan Uo snved by doing right, whatever they may Delleve. Tho clergymen of Chicago cannot consider any subject In thelr discourses next Sunday that will bo nearer to the minds and the needs ot thelr hearers, or that wil} more gratify curious attendants, or that will, it properly and cilectively handled, do mere good, than o discussion of Ingersoll’s atate- ment of 4 What We Must Do to Bo Sayed," und especially his specifications relating to the Gospel of St Matthew, Clergymen Itke Dr, McMullen, Dr, Courtney, Prof, Patton, Dr. Thomas, Dr. Lorimer, and Prof, Swing conld not'do a greater services to thelr par- Ishloners next Sunday than In refuting the errors, whatever they may be, conlalued In Col, Ingersall’s last lecture, ‘Tir celebration of the fflieth anniversary. of Bolylan Independence bas directed attoution tn the recent murvelous growth of the City of Antwerp. Most Americans will be astonished on being told that Antwerp to-day ranks third Ainong tho great mwaritino ports of Europo, coming directty after London and Liverpool.
