THE EVENING STAR. The Largest Cireulation in the Distrist, W. D. WALLACH, Editor and Prepricter. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY.........NOVEMBER 27, 1566. “S7 READING MATTER ON RVERY PAGE.

Chronicle for the quarter ending September 30, 1866, as taken from the books of the Internal Revenge Office, are as follow: EveNtne STAg. THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH. No. 6. There never was a more mistaken idea than that of the hardship of the terms demanded by the North as the condition precedent to the re- admission of the lately rebellious States to Congress. This idea is being insisted upon principally by the two classes who are des- tuned to “ go under,” politically, whenever the South may be restored to full commanion in the Government in accord with the North with reference to the future of the Union as a whole. We refer to the ciass of secession lead- | ers at the South, and the politicians of the North, who, adopting theories of that class: lett untried no effortto aid it to destroy the Union during the war that did not absolutely endanger their individual liberty and lives. One may search the history of every civil war and its Consequences that bas eccurred as far back as accounts of the history of nations have been preserved, to find terms granted to the unsuccessful party to any great civil war so lenient and truiy fraternal as those which Congress, on behalf of the victors in oar war now offer the South. These termsare, simply’ an offer that the South shall consent to share with the North, East and West in the enjoy. ment of ail the blessings and privileges which the latter have worked ont ef the opportunities afforded by American institutions. They ask not for the life of a single man of all whom they regard as leaders in the work of bringing about the rebellion, whieh has cost them (the North) the lives of hundreds of thousands of their children and brothers, and three thousand millions of na- tional property (the public debt) and perhaps half as many millions, the property of indi- viduals of Union sentiments, North and South. The only penalty they demand is, after all, but & mere bond of security for the preservation of the peace and property of all sections in the future. itis the exclusion from participation in United States office-holding of any grade, of the men of the South who were the leaders in the rebellion. As the burnt child dreads the fire,sothe North will not (as it should not) Temit to these men their former opportunities to work mischief for the whole country. The demand tbat the South shall not enjoy repre- seutation in Congress for their former slaves unless enfranchising them, involves no hardship whatever. It simply places the South on terms of abseinte equality with all other sections of the Union in this matter of Tepresentation in Congress, and applies with equal force throughout the land. Itinvolves no obligation on the part of the South to de- volve the privilege of the vote upon the freed. men. Thatis a question left by the proposed amendment wholly to the solution of the South itself. It may eatranchise the Regro in its | midst, at its own option, whenever it considers it to be its imterest so to do. The loss of its right to representation tor two-fifths of its former slaves is a ma‘ter of little practical im- portance, more especially when it will have the option of ge!ting full representation for all it. former slaves whenever it may deem that policy best for its own interest. The main reason why the amendment is distasteful to most persons in the South, is because im ostracising from Fed- eral Government-employment the class re- sponsible fer the rebellion and its conse- quences, it sets the seal of national reprobation upon the cause for which the South, one and all. suffered so much through the machina- tions, usurpation and short-lived despotism of that class. With nine-tenths of the white people of the South the question is, ten, but little more than one of pride and sectional Pique. lt touches individual personal interests (except of the class referred to above) in po manner whatever, save in proposing to benefit the Southern people to a wonderful degree, ‘whenever, through its opportumty, they accept the offer of Congress to re-enter the Union with all the rights enjoyed by any and all at the North. We are no believer that the Cop- perhead press at the North and Southern State Officials and the press of the South in the inter- est of the perpetuation of the tormer power o! the secession leaders, can mueh longer prevent «he Southern masses trom comprehending these | few plain tacts. Though knowing well that not | one man in @ handred throughout the South as + yet sees & newspaper not in the interest of ber pariy Of retrogradation, we do not be- | > Heve it possible that in the altered condi- tion of her affairs the truth in these mat- ters can be very much longer shut ont | from her popular mind “Yet it is by no means impossible that it may fail to effect @ lodgement therein until after Congress, tired of waiting for the light to break in upon the | South, may, under the lead of extreme men: | resort to €xtreme measures to carry out the | views of the latter. No one doubts the power of Congress so to do, though hundreds of thou- sands deny their right so todo. Nor does any one conceive of any feasible plan by which the exercise of that power can be prevented, when- ever Congress so wills. facts which should be realized in the minds of all the South as speedily as possible. Of what avail, therefore, are Southern or Northern pro- tests concerning the Constitutional rights of the South im the present crisis? Who, that pro- pose to ignore them. will be moved an inch from the conclusions wrought in their minds by the war, by such appeals trom sources in- imical to the eause of the Union as involved in the war! Never were ink and breath more sigually thrown away, than in arguing at this time to show that the Constitution fails to give the victors in the late war complete power over the terms upon which the lately rebel- lioms States shall be permitted to resume their position im the Union B FOR NE - vason B GRO SUF. The course of the National Intelligencer, in coming out for negro suffrage, creates some- what of a sensation througnout the country. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says: The National Intelligencer hitherto most bitterly opposed to the colored race, astonished its readers on Friday morning by following im the wake of the Ohicago Times, Its editorial says that ‘there never can be stable peace in this country until the colored Yace are made entirely equal before the law in regard to civil rights. It 1s desirable that after Jong 4nd injarious agitation the South should €pontaneously do this.’ At the negro meeting 11 the fair building, the otber pigbt, Col.

This is the fifth provision house in that city which has failed recently, and th bottem is not reached yet.
