New York, Tuesday, October 2, 1866. THE NEWS. EUROPE. By the Atlantic cable we have the London Stock Ex- change aud Liverpool cotton market reports dated at noon yesterday, October 1. Consols were quoted at 804 for money in London at that hour. Five-twenties were at 7034. The Liverpool cotton market opened very active yes- terday, October 1, and prices had advanced one-fourth of ® ponny at noon. The steamship Nova Scotian, from Londonderry, Sep- tember 21, was off Father Point yesterday on her voy- age to Quebec. Her telegraphic advices, which we pub- ligh to-day, embrace some of the details of the progress Of the Austro-Italian negotiations to her day of sailing, with the main pointe of the letter addressed by the King of Prussia to the people, thanking them for their devo- tion to fatherland and their mainvenance of the “mis- gion” of Prussia. THE CITY. ‘The Board of Aldermen held a regular meeting yester- Gay, but failed to transact auy business of importance. During the session, however, a communication was re- ceived from the Law Department in answer to a resolu- tion of inquiry relative to the legality of section 12, chapter 876, of the laws of 1866. Said document set forth that iaasmuch as the section referring to the sub- Ject was mot embraced in the title of the bill alluding to the appointment of Councilmen to the Senatorial dis- tricts of the city, the section of the jaw was tn violation of the State constitution, and therefore void and of no egal effect. The Board adjourned to Monday next. General Santa Anna is now negotiating a loan of $5,000,000, for the purpose of carrying out his plan of Fecoustruction in Mexico, and is assured of success in the Mogotiation in a few daye. A number of ox-federal offi- cers catied on him yesterday to offer their services in his mow campaign. His son has not yet left the city, as it ‘was expected he would do.on Saturday. It is believed ‘by those high in authority in Canada that Secretary Seward has used his diplomacy to bring about the league ‘Betwoon Santa Anna and the Fenians. General Dix took formal possession of the New York Naval Office yesterday, and assumed the duties attached 40 bis new commission as Naval Oficer of the port. A meeting of the Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, was to have been held last evening in the Great ‘Wigwam for the despatch of business, but in consequence of the absence of the Secretary no proceedings took place, evidently to the disappointment of several gentle. men who were in attendance. ‘The sessions of the National Methodist Episcopal Con- ‘vention were held yesterday, in the morning, afternoon end eveuing. A resolution expressing sympathy for and Promising aid to the Methodist Chureh in ‘Ireland was offered and passed. The day was principally occupied ip the transaction of business, and the evening in ad- ‘dreapes and dovotional exercises. The Convention will meet again to-day and adjourn sine die. Five fresh cases of cholera were reported in this city Yesterday. Dunng the forty-cight hours ending yester- day afternoon burial permits for thirteen cholera dead were issued. The mortuary report for last week showed @ total of 487 deaths, of which thirty-eight were from cholera. The cholera has re-appeared again on Gover- Bor’s Island. ‘The inquest upon the remains of the victims o! the tenement house fire that broke out at the corner of Thir. teenth street and Avenue A on the morning of Sunday, September 23, was yesterday brought to a close, The Jury rendered a verdict to the offect that tho fire was tho ‘work of an Incendiary, and expressed its appreciation of the persistent endeavors of Captain Mount, of the Sev- enteenth precinct police, to discover the perpstrator of the Nendish act. An inquest on the body of Mary Pinkney, who was reported as dying-from injuries roceivod at the hands of ber employors at 126 Grecawich street, has revealed the fect that death was caused by hemorrhage of the stomach, brought on by intemperance and previous Ginease. The jury decided accordingly, and the prisouers wero discharged from custody. George B. Goddard, 4 Secoaston Vigilance Committee tan of Arkansas, was arrestod in this clty yesterday alternoon on a warrant issued by Justice Clerke, of the wuperior Court, The complaint was made by Wm M. Newman, of this city, who alleges that the prisoner, with others, composing vigilance committee at Camden, Arkansas, seized hie stock of goods, worth $20,000, and turned it over to the confederate govern- ment. The prisoner was ordered to find ball in the sum of $60,000. ‘We. Percy, the lawyer who was committed to prison for contempt of court by Judge Barnard, has brought an faction for slander against Charles Godfrey Patterson, also e lawyer, damages being invd at $6,000. This is the sec ond walt growimg out of the altercation for which Mr Perey was confined at the Ludlow etreet jail, the gentie- man having already instituted proceedings against Judge Barnard for false imprisonment, ‘The trial torma of the different courte opened yoster- Gay, but in consequence of the absence of juries, and in some instances mo cases boing ready, were adjourned over until this morning. The Court of Oyer and Terminor sat yesterday, but, beyond the calling of the grand jury, no business was trammacted. Am entry clerk in the New York Custom House was arrested on Saturday lact and temporartiy committed by the United States Marsha! for, it 1s alleged, appropriat- ing nearly $600 of governmont funds to his own use, {hq money is sald to have been squandered at a faro and proceedings will be instituted against the to reciaim it. meeting of the Sixth Ward Radical Associa. }f a Es s a5 Brovkiyn, took place lest ovening at Latimer | \ei> wittiame, the deformed panper who beq that, General Hiram Welbridge atdgegeed | puveed on rempiaiom With kying se mmntonsn N the present canvass, and the roasens tn favor of adopt- ing the Congressional amendments. At the close of his remarks he introduced a set of resolutions to the effect that the events of the last five years had done much to confirm their faith in the practicability and advantage of purely popular governments. The resolutions were adopted. General Woodford was the next speaker. In hig remarks he merely gave a repetition of his late cam- paign speeches. S. B. Chittenden was nominated for both the short and long torms of Congress, by the Third District Republican Convention of Brooklyn, ast evening. His opponents for the nomination wore George B. Lincoln and George H. Fisher. ‘The stock market was buoyant and excited yesterday, and Erie rose to 881;, with a strong demand, Gold was strong and closed at 146%. ‘The week opened yesterday with increased activity and buoyancy in commorcial circles, and there was quite @ general advance in prices, particularly of domestic pro- duce. Cotton was active and 2c. a 8c. higher. Coffee was in fair demand and firm. On ‘Change there was con- siderable excitement, and corn advanced 2c. a $c. per bushel. Flour, wheat and pork were also higher and in better request. The market for becf cattle ruled heavy under con- tinued heavy receipts, and prices were fully 3¢c. lowor’ on all grades. Strictly prime sold freely at 1734¢., buta fow of the choicest offerings realized 18c., which may be considered an extreme rate. Other grades varied from 10c. to 16c, a 164¢c., a8 to quality, the market closing heavy and with still a downward tendency. Milch cows wero dull but nominally unchanged, varying from $50 to $110. Veals were steady at prices varying from 9c. to BSc. al4c,, as to quality, Sheep and lambs were in fair do- mand at about last week’s prices, ranging from $3 75 to $7 a $7 50, Hogs were steady; prices show a wider range, but this was owing to a greater difference in quality ; the sales were at Lic, a |1440. for heavy Western, and 10%c, alle. for other kinds—the mside prieg for Michigan. The total receipts were 6,437 beef cattle, 75 cows, 1,338 veais, 26,024 sheep and lambs, and 1,496 hogs. tice MISCELLANEOUS. Our correspondence from the Pacific coast of Youth America is dated at Santiago, Chile, on the 25th of August, Valparaiso on September 1, and at Pahama on the 23d of September. The idea of making peace with Spain is not entertained for a mument among the Chileans. They are anxions to carry thd war into the enemy's country, and demand that their/navy shall appear before Cadiz. The Secretary of Foreign Affairs remarked at a diuner during the last week of August that Chile would ever regara Spain in the light ofa nasural enemy. It is very doubiful if anyagent would be received who might come from Spain to pro- pose terms of peace. Defensive operations in the vicinity of Valparaiso are still waking, several large forts and batteries being in progress. ‘The three steamers pur- chased here by MoKenna are‘being fitted oud as ships of war, Tuoker, the ex-rebel, who was appointed Admiral of the Peruvian navy, has been installed Commgnder-in- Chief of the allied squadron. Montero, the Admiral who mutinied on account of Tucker's apppointment, was still im confinement with his officers. The United States Minister to Ecuador had arrived at Quiio. From the Central American Siates the news is unime portant. The seat of government of Honduras was about being removed to Gracia, A heavy earthquake visited the city of San Salvador on the 20th of August, but no damage was done. Mosquera, the President of Colombia, was prosecuting the ship canal scheme across the Isth mus, but had declared he would not permit the secession of the State through which it was proposed to run it from the national government. The New Granada Legis- lature have resolved to disobey ceriain instructions of Mosquera, apd matters have thus become embroiled, 80 ‘that serious consequences may be expected. Mr. Chandler, the District Attorney of the United States Circuit Court for tae District of Virginia, in which Jet Davis wasto have been tried, arrived at Norfole yesterday from # consultation with the judicial authort- ties in Washington, and gives the intelligence that no term of the court will be held in Riclimond to-day, this being the time to which it was adjourned at a previous session. It is considered probable that application for a writ of habeas corpus will be immediately made to one of the judges of the courts of the State for Davis, and ils trial in the latter courts willbe prossed. It is further alleged that the President has promised that such a writ should be respected. Allen P. Eggleston, whof murdered Captain Meater, at Newport, Ky., in June last, was execdted at that city on the 28th of September. He made a lengthy speech to the crowd assembled to witness hisdeath: When tho trap was sprung he fell to the ground, the rope having slipped, and, when about being picked up, he requested the Sheriff not to let such an accident occur again. He remained firm to the last. Richard Thairwell, one of the murderers of James A. Houseman, in Fayette county, Pa., im April last, was executed yesterday at the town of Fayétte, in Pennsy!- vania. He died with hardly a struggle. ‘The coroner's jury in the Communipae drowning case were disebarged yesterday afternoon without agreeing to a verdict, seven jurors sustaining an acquittal of Mona- han and five fora conviction.

Thirty square miles of peat, from four fo six feet deep, has been discovered in Humboldt county, Nevada Two hundred and forty miles of th¢ Union Pacific Railroad have been completed and acce| by the gov- ernment comm |ssioners. The American Jockey Club had thd@r eecond day's racing at the Jorome Park yesterday, and a more bril- lant entertainment was never afforded to the lovers of sports of the turf. Four capital races were ran, the first being a dash of a mile for two year dlds, Mr. Morris’ Olly Rothiess winning in most extraofdinary time ons heavy track. 4 two mile heat race fuilowed, which was won by Arcola after a severe contest. Then followed a “selling race,” which was won by Richinoed in a canter. Alter this came @ three mile dash between five well known racers, with one hundred pounds up, and this was won by Aldebaran in grand style. The course was fashionably attended, but the numbers were not so large as On the first day. The grand champion match at base ball which was to have been played at Philadelphia yesterday between the Atlantic and AtBletic Clubs was interrupted by the pressare of the crowd of nearly thirty thousand persoss who had assembled to witness the af—fair. The interrup- tion was cecasioned, it is believed, by certain parties who had bet heavily on the result. A Committe of Conference was appointed by the two clubs, and it was agreed to Play the game on Monday week at the Capitoline grounds in Brooklys. The Atlantics will piny the Koystones at Philadelphia to-day, aod the Camden Club on Wednes- any.

Advices of Shanghae, China, state that the expeditions against ‘bo pirates of Yong Chow had failed. Two im- perial detachments had been defeated and two generals who were suspected of treagonable correspondence with the robel leaders had their heads out off by the Viceroy. In New Orleans during the forty-eight hours ending yee- torday evening there were seven deaths from yellow fever ‘and thirty from cholera, In Baltimore one new case was reported. In Nashville twenty-one deaths occurred on Sumday and fifteen yesterday. In Memphis seventy. one new cages wore reported yesterday and twenty-four deaths oceurred during Sunday and Monday Mike McCool, the late victor over Davis in the prise fight rear Gt Louis, has declined the challenge of Jog Cobure, and says that he renounces the ring forever; ‘The coroner's jury holding an inquest over the body of Mra.

What is there in this constitutional amendment which prevents his co-operation with Congress? Nothing which he has not himself recommended at one time or another. He has himself imposed the main conditions of this amendment upon the excluded States as essential conditions of |. restoration, and he has proposed the others. What, then, is the difficulty? He contends, as it appears, that all the States that claim and are willing to be represented in Congress have the right to a voice in this matter of con- stitutional amendments. He therefore pro- poses, first, that the excluded States shall be represented, and then he bas a constitutional amendment to offer regulating representation on the basis of suffrage that is or may be adopted by the several States, and apportion- ing taxation upon the value of property in each State. This is his plan. His great objection against the amendment of Congress is that it was passed in the absence of certain States asking and entilled to be represented. But how and when did those States secure the right to admission into Congress? They were disorganized and broken up by the rebellion. They had to be reconstructed. The President, in the absence of Congress and jn the exorcise of the discretionary war powers Zonferred by Congress, proceeded to reconstruct them. All things constdered, he did bis work very well; but in the very outset he admitted and pro- claimed the fact that this work would be sub- ject to the approval of Congress. What has followed? Congress has refused to admit the States concerned as reconstructed by the President. But adopting substantially his conditions the two housos have put them into the form ofa constitutional amendment, with the offer to the excluded States that with the ratification of this amendment they will be admitiod. ifthe President, ir. the absence of Congress, had the discretionary power to exact of those States the ratification of the amend- ment abolishing slavery, had not Congress on reassembling in the Capitol the power and the right to demand the ratification of these other conditions of restoration, all that the President had done being subject to the approval of Congress? Are not all the powers of admia- sion Qr supervision or regulation of the States poss séed by the general government? Are they not all invested in Congress? They are, from the beginning to the end. Is not the President required by the constiiution to exe- cute the laws of Congress? He is, from first to last. Here we might contend that as this amend- ment was passed by a two-thirds vote of each house, it should, in the spirit of the constitu- tion, be accepted by the Presidont as a mea- sure which has gone beyond his power of op- position. We are satisfied, however, in an- swering this objection of his as to the exclu- sion of certain States by his own testimony. What Congress ought to have done with those States is not now the question. It is enough that in retusing to admit them on the Presi- dent’s plan Congress has simply exercised its authority over this subject; it is enough that said States are not reconstructed and are still subject to this ultimatum of Congress. The case, then, is clear. There is in reality no disagreement in principle between Congress and the President in this matter. His vetoes of certain bills passed at the late session were justified by solid facts and arguments. But they do not reach the great question of this amendment. The conditions here proposed by Congress are the conditions imposed or sug- gested by the Executive. He has admitted the supervising authority of Congress over his own acts. He turned them over to Congress in his annual message of December last Bad men and bad counsels have stepped in between him and Congress. There is the trouble. The only issue in this conflict is an issue of foolish pride, bad temper and bad taste on both sides. It was fomented in Congress by such radical marplots and fanatics as Stevens, Sumner, Chandler and Ingersoll, and by their stupid but mischievous personal abuse cf the Executive and their savage threats against him. This rupture, however, with a few implacable radicals was unwisely enlarged by the President himseif into a rupture with Congress, There was no necessity for this, as the resulis have shown ; for the radical schemes of universal negro suffrage, universal confiscation and universal disfranchisement have utterly failed, and the plan adopted for Southern restoration by Congress is sub- stantially the President’s plan in every con- dition. What he now proposes in regard to taxation on the basis of property is already in force in our Internal Revenue laws, declared valid by the courts, so that there is no need of any amendment of the constitution on this subject. In one word, if asked what there is in this theory of the President’s opposition to this constitutional amendment of Congress as now presented, we must say {tamounts to nothing. There is nothing in it and it will come to notbing. We have no time or space to waste upon the paltry quibblings of the party journals of the day, nor upon their pitiful and debasing personal vulgaritios on the one side or the other. It is all the more refreshing, however, to meet occasionally with a political journal such as the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, equal to the demands of the crisis in a calm, practical and comprehensive discussion of the great questions of the day. We only regret that such examples are #0 few and far between as we find them among the most intelligent people of all the nations. It is to this per. vading intelligence of the powerfal North that we look for such s ratification of this plan of Congress as will speedily bring the South to its adoption. Nor can we believe that Andrew Jobnaon, @ man of the people, believing in the will of the people, will remain unmoved by the returns of the approaching October and November elections. We have every reason to believe that they will be so decisive as to bury the last remains of the demented, doomed and already broken down old democratic party, and to give @ finishing blow to radipal fanatics and disorganizers of both sections, in the active co-operation of Congress, the admin- istration and the people, North and South, on a Cacsury to Tonries—We publish fo enelbes caoluma this moruing 98 excemirely important correspondence between Mr. Bergh, President of the society for worshipping animals, and Professor Agassiz, of the Hub of the Universe.

Twaddling Tilton is a young man who lives by his notoriety and gains his noto- riety by his extravagance. His aim in life is to make a sensation, and he has not enough sense to care how the sensation is made. He began his public career by letting his hair grow until it was as long as the tail of Barnum’s woolly horse. As this long hair attracted con- siderable attention, especially among the barbers, the Rev. Toddling Tilton imagined that it exalted him above his fellow men, for- getting that any woman could excel him in his capillary display. Then he set himself up as a second hand Henry Ward Beecher, and tried hard to imitate this divine in his speeches and writings, but lacked the brains to succeed. Through Mr. Beecher’s patronage he was in- troduced into colored society, and, fdon eclipsed his great origing] in {he Violeiice of his views, By 204 %y, presuming upon La RSpularity with the more ignorant Yiacks, he undertook to instruct Mr. Beecher as to his duty; but he re- ceived a public quietus in the lecture room of Plymouth church and subsided for a oon- siderable period. Mr. Beecher’s withdrawal from the Independent opened the way for the Rev. Tattling Tilton to secure the editorship, and since then he bas been fooling more out- rageously than ever. He was as full of fight during the war as an egg is full of meat until he was drafted, and then he decided to stay at home and wear “the white feather.” Now that the war is over he thirsts for slaughter again and is ready to shed any amount of other people’s blood to annihilate the South. He is the person who walked arm-in-arm with Fred Douglass at the Philadelphia black and white convention, thus gelling his name ih all the papers. Fred Douglass rewarded him by de- claring that he was the finest young fellow that had lived since Jesus Christ, which is pre- cisely the sort of compliment that the Rey. Twiddling Tilton is silly enough to accept. This preliminary sketch of the present editor of the Independent is necessary in order that our readers may understand the drift of the article which we republish in another column. The Independent is a journal that falsifies Scripture by serving both God and mammon, mixing piety, politics and patent pills, divinity, dry goods reports and quack doctors’ stuff, in 8 irong dose for religious radicals. Although it pretends to be a church paper, no one need be at all surprised to find its leading columns devoted to a review of the recent address of the Republican National Committee. The article is as long as the Rev. Throttling Tilton’s hair, and is spun out for the same reasou—to attract notice. He takes two columns and a half to tell us what everybody knew before, viz: that the ultra radical leaders are opposed to the constitutional gmendment now before the States. As it was upon this very amendment that the radicals were beaten in Congréss it does not re- quire the Rev. Trotting Tilton to tell us that. He says thathe knows personally the leading radivals, ia and out of Congress, and that they “have no intention of making the amendment the final measure of admission.” Of course not. Neither Thad Stevens, Ben Butler, Rev. Pitchpine Brownlow, nor any of the rest of the radical gang are ia favor of admitting the South at all; but the conservatives defeated them in Congress with this very amendment, and they will defeat them in the coming elections on the same ground. The radicals are in a hopeless minority in Congress, in the republi- can party and in the country. Their intentions are of no consequence, one way or the other. The Rev. Tinkling Tilton, and the prominent radicals whom he “knows personally” are mere nigger worshippers and represent nobody but themselves, for even the in- telligent darkeys repudiate them. The National Committee, not the Rev. Tonsorial Tilton, speaks for the republican party upon the subject of reconstruction, and that committee promises that the Southern States shall be admitted so soon as they adopt the amendment. Here is aatrong hint for the atatesmen of the South. The amendment which the radicals so bitterly oppose is the very thing for them to accept. They ought to seize upon it at once, without further quibbling. When we first res- cued it from the obscurity to which ithad been consigned by radicals and democrats alike, a great many persons were inclined to think that the Huratp, too, had become ultra in its views. But the most conservative man in the South taust now eee that the adoption of this amend- ment is the simplest, the surest, the safest and the swiftest means of reconstruction. The terms may not be just what we could wish, but they are the best that the South can obtain. The Rev. Tumbling Tilton exhibits all the best points of the amendment in his attempted attack upon it. The very fact that he and his masters do not like it and cry for something more stringent ought to nerve the South to grasp it at once. Both Congress and the republican party are pledged to admit every State that ratifies it, and this is certainly becu- rity enough. If the South waits for another Congress the people may come up to the radi- cal platform of unqualified negro suffrage and compel the South to submit, Of the two evils why not choose the lesser?

Turpen- tine Tilton’s article ie a hint by which the Southern States will do well to profit, Tar Greex Art 1 Coxcases.—It will be seen by @ reference to our “City Politics” article in another column that John Morrissey, & professor of the Greek art and a banker of the German watering place style, is making a bold push for Congress, Sinee he has the reputation of succeeding in everything that he undertakes, we dare say that he will win in this contest. Once in Congress he will exert an important influence in elevating that body. Why should he not be the very man to bring about that reform?

I ie er If he can only bring Congress up to this stand- | the terrible ordeal of four years’ carnage had ard what a great reform it will be. It is understood, however, that certain long Mustached gentlemen in Tammany Hall, who are supporting @ candidate for Governor with » long mustache, are trying to prevent his nomination and to force him out of the race. But this professor of the Greek art and the banker is not so easily disposed of. Since it is now « foregone conclusion that Tammany Hall and’the democratic party are to be effec- tually killed at this election they may find it necessary to make friends with Morrissey; for he will be just the man to bury the party decently, in order and ina becoming manner, and pay the funeral expenses. If they drive him off we fear that there will be no one left with sufficient means to perform that work. Mexico, Santa Anna aud the Fenians. The telegram which we publish this morn- ing from Canada announces that the govern- ment officials there are satisfied that the move- ment of Santa Anna to regenerate Mexico with the assistance of the Fenians has the co-opera- tion of Secretary Seward. It may be that the head of the State Yephriment has taken this ae to cet Out of his position in regard to wate Fenian movement, gpd shat L adopted this as a piece of sira 2 4 gain favor in that quarier. Several weeks singe we gave a construction (o the neutrality law, as it affected this Mexican question, which at that time it was considered probable that our courts would hotd. That was that an ex- pedition fitted out here to operate against Maximilian would be declated no violation of the neutrality laws, for the reason that the United States’ had in no way ever recog- nized any other than the republican gov- ernment in Mexico, and herefore such expedition was not intended to wage war against a government, prince or State with which we were at peace. We could not be at peace with a pretended empire which we refased to recognize. Under this construction of the law it seems that Santa Anna is fitting ont his expeditions, enlisting the Fenians, and is in a fair way of stelking a telling biow for his country. To the extent of placing this interpretation upon the neutral- ity iawa, which ts unquestionably the correct view to take, Santa Anna urtquestionably has the co-operation of our government, Whether this is the work of the State or Law Depart- ment at Washington it makes but little differ- ence. It will enable Santa Anna to carry out his movement, and that is all he will ask. A distinguished general recently remarked that with ten thousand veterans under the command of Sheridan he could drive the French out of Mexico. Themorale of the French forces has been very much weakened since then; and we dare say that with a force of six or eight thousand of the men inured to the battle field in our war 4s a nucleus, Santa Anna can enter Mexico and rescue that country from the hands of Maximilian and the French, All that will be necessary will be to take along with him a large supply of arms and ammunition, and he will soon have an army of Mexicans rallying around him that will make all opposition useless. This, we presume, is Santa Anna’s plan of operation. If he manages his card with the skill that we give him credit of possessing, success is cer- tain. His movements, we understand, have no connection with Ortega or Juarez; bat he may, on his arrival there, join hands with one or the other and thus make short work of it. Since Juarez has refused to accept Santa Anna’s assistance to re-establish the re- public, he may propose an alliance with Ortega and thus labor to place the legal and constitutional President of that re- public in the chief magistrate’s chair, in spite of the protests, intrigues and despatches of Romero. At any rate the movement now on foot bids fair to work out important results in regard to that country and enforce the principles of the Monroe doctrine which have been so long ignored by the peculiar Policy of the State Department at Washington. The Canadians, no doubt, feel a relief in this new turn of the Fenian movement, for in it they see that they are to be relieved of any farther trouble, at least until this Mexican quee- tion is disposed of and the republic re-eatab- lished in Mexico. This, after all, may be the cause of their belief that Secretary Seward is co-operating with Santa Anna. What Should the Seuth De? Every day furnishes renewed indications that the republicans will at the approaching elections sweep the entire North and West by tremendous majorities. We sve this in the num- bers present and the enthusiasm manifested at their State conventions, at their mass meetings, at their county and municipal primary meet- ings and in the vigor and determination evinced in private conversation. If they quar- rel among themselves, it is only because they feel themselves strong enough to do so without endangering victory, as the democratic party of old once did. That “cohesive power” which sealed the defunct democracy in cordial em- brace whenever the final issue at the ballot box came, now imbues the republicans, and it will be only through miserable mismanage- ment, imbecility and corruption, which killed the democratic party, that a similar fate will attend the present dominant party. The de- mocracy have been consigned to a tomb as silent and dead as that to which the remains of the old know-nothing party were committed years ago. The South cannot hope to revive it by any: galvanic battery they may bring to bear. Before final consignment to its everlast- ing resting place the democratic party pursued @ policy that had not kept pace with the progress of the age for thirty years prior to the rebellion. It pretended to be the especial guardian ofthe South and her rights, and, like spoiled children in a lavish and profligate housebold, the Southerners were led to believe that any- Northern democracy. This fatal error was taught them by poor Pierce and poorer Bu- chanan and their old bunker pro-slavery and scoepted the advice of these men in 1860, when the Peace Convention in Washington offered them comparatively fair and liberal terms of settlement, the Southern people at this time would not have to regret the loss of their property in slaves nor be menaced with per- petual confiscation, disfranchisement and utter ruin. Now, in 1866, only six years later, Con- been gone through, yet, under all the circum stances, and especially in view of the greater evils which the portentous gates of the future may open to them, they cannot butbe regarded as magnanimous, and it can be no dishonor to the South to accept them. ‘These terms are found in the pending constitutional amendment, proposed, it must be distinctly understood, not by the radicals and bitter foes of the South, but by the moderate and conservative mom- bers of Congress. The issue upon this question of restoration between the President and Congress is nota difference of principle; it 1s a difference of temper—bad temper, it may be desig- mated. The President has at various times suggested the very plan of restoration and adjustment which the conservatives im Congress have proposed. The South should remember that itis no work of Thad Stevens and his Jacobina, But it is no time now to ex hibit a narrow and acrimonious spirit in the settlement vf our national difficulties.

The South should imme diately ratify the proposed constitutional amendment. There is no hope, with the pres ent temper the North, East and West are in, for the South to expect better terms; and whether the medicine be palatable or not it is their policy to swallow it and await further events. With complete restoration to the Union and representation in Congress the South can unite with the conservatives and together hold the reins of power and control tbe government for half a century to come. The governors of the Southern States should immediately convene their legislatures, ratify the constitutional amendment and head off the radicals by arranging for the election of mom- bers to the present Congress, which will not dare to refuse them admittance. This work must be commenced at once, for delay will be dangerous. in about two months Congrest will reassemble, and it will be the fault of the South alone if she be not represented. This is candid advice to our Southern friends. What they should do is to accept it, and not imperil their futuro happiness and prosperity by fol- lowing the suggestions of the impetuous and crazy copperhead politicians of the North. THE FENIANS.
