We have stated the facts in the oase with jadicial calmness. If they wound any one's sensibilities, the fault is hisor the facts—not ours. If dishonor is in- volved in going into a caucus to nominate a party candidate, and, being there beaten, coming out to in- trigue with the common adversary to defeat your own nominee, we cannot help that. * Men of honor” are supposed to have a rather lax code of social morality; yet there is not o horse-racer or otber ** sport” in ‘America who would consent to stand in like prodica- ment with Mr. Foster's, or could hold up his head among hisassociates if be did. To go into cancus in- tending to abide the result if you win, but repudiate if you are beaten, is todo what no blackleg not already crop-eared would stoop to. No man breathes a word in disparagement of Gen. Ferry. It is not the man that is objectionable, but bis straightforward, Radical convictions, If for these heis to be beaten after his fair nomination, and another elected by Copperhead and * Conservative” votes, it is presumed, of course, that this will be the end of the Republican-Union party. But thatisa gross mistake. The party will live, whatever may be the fate of its betrayers. “ CIPHERS,” The National Intelligencer utters this moan: “'At the Hagerstown m”“"i of Disunion Proscriptionists [frionds of fresdom] of Maryland, they resolved against negio suffrage and in favur of voting population as the basis of rep resentation ia Congress. This would throw out half of tie rescat representation of the State in the House. The idea gn been joined by the Radicals, Are the people of Maryland for thus abnegating their power aud influence in tho councils of the nation " To which is added this sad suggestion that ** Mary- land is to be a cipher in the national councils.” —TLet us look, in the first place, at ‘‘the power and influence in the councils of the nation,” which the people of Maryland aro expected to abnegate.

A bill was Et-ll:ll to cstablish in the District of Colum Reform choo!. A bill to incorporate the National Deposit Company of Washington was debated and referred. The resolution declaring Mr. Delano entitled to his seat was adopted without debate. A bill was reported to equalize Dbounties. Tho tax bill was considered in Committeo of the Whole. A number of petitions were received, aud the Houso adjourned. Tho Senate on Monday will take up the Constitu- tional part of the plan of Reconstruction which has been adopted by the House, and (it is understood) persevere in its consideration until its fate is decided. Meantime, all manner of amendments aud substitutes will be proposed, and voted on—and some of them, we think, will be adopted. If in the Senate, we should vote for every prop- osition caleulated, if successful, to bring the plan more nearly to what should be its twin bases—Univer- sal Amnesty, Impartial Suffrage. Let us haveall | freo men oqual in the eye of the law in this country as | they are in every otber throughout Christendom, and wo shall gladly forego all proscription, confiscation, or other penalty or disability imposed because of the { Enfranchizo the Blacks, and we would 1 Rebellion. have none di; sed, not even for a day. d vote on every proposal to amend this apirit we shou the House measure. Having improved it wherever we could, we should yoto for the measure s it passes to its third reading. Wo cannot each have exactly what bhe would wish; we must often defer to the convictions of others. Whatever may be the shape of the measure when presontod for final action, we are confident that it will be far better than a failure to agree on s plan of Reconstruction, and we entreat every Unionist in the Senate to vote Yea. Mr. Schenck reported yesterday from the House Military Committeo a Dbill to *‘equalize bounties.” ‘Wo do not see that it isin any respect better thau the pending bill in the Senate, or that any effort has been mado to meet the objections to that bill which have Leen repeatedly urged, and are still unanswered. FAST AND LOO Lafayetta 8. Foster, Wm. A. Buckingham and Orris 8. Ferry are three men who have fitly been honored by the people of Connecticut. Next Winter marks the close of twelve years' consecutive service in the Senate by Mr. Foster; while Mr. Buckingham has been Governor for the last eight or nine ycars— longer than any ono had been before him since the days of the Trumbulls, Gen. Ferry hasfbeen a less successful politician; but he was thrice the Republican candidate for Congress from the Western Distrigt, once elected,and twico beaten by a half-hand- ful of votes, When tho War broke out,he volunteered, and served in it to the end, attaining the fank of Brigadier-General. Thoroughly loyal and true, be is inferior in no quality to either of his lato rivals, Yet hio had been 50 long in the Army, out of sight of the acti liticians, that, when his name was presonted to the late Republican Scnatorial caucus, ho received but 24 out of 144 votes. But he gained on every ballot thenceforth till the seventh, when he wasynominated by a clear majority of 14 votes. Mr. Foster, on the other hand, led on the first hal- lot, whon he had 65 votes: but, though he thrice had one more, and once one less, ho could not be pushed ahead, and closed with exactly the vote he had on the first ballot. Look once more at the instructive tally: Ballotlst. 24 3. &h. S 3 Forry. 26 o “ " .4;: 17“; Foste .65 66 G 66 G5 66 65 Buckisgham . 55 . s n 1 3 — Hero you soe plainly that tfo Wajority, thougi divided in their preferonces, wero fixed on one point —they would not have Mr. Foster for a third term, Could he have obtained barely eight of the 55 votes originally cast for Buckingham, he would have beon nominated; but among all the 55 frionds of Bucking- ham, there was but ene who did not prefer Ferry to Foster. Suchwere the circumstances under which Gen. Ferry was nominated by a decided majority of the Republican-Union members, and the nomination thereupon made unanimous—the election being ap- pointed to take place on Wednesday last. On that day, the House accordivgly voted, with this result: The Senate consists of 21 members; so, if the two Houses were to meet in joint ballot, and every Sen. ator vote against Ferry, he would still be elected. Yet the Senate, by 12 to 8 (1 absent), postponed the election to nezt Wednesday; and a desperate effort Andin | souls—515,918 white and 171,101 black. In 1860, be- fore the war, when the Rebels were in voting trim, the State cast 92,462 ballots, and had seven votes in the Electoral College, The Maryland Republicans think thac 92,462 ballots should represent so much power and nomore. The Copperheads contend that they should represent 171,101 blacks, who are nonde- scripts in Maryland law, and with no more right at the polls thau so many horses and cows. And if Maryland does not retain this right to vote, the strength of 171,101 more souls than she recognizes at the ballot, she becomes a cipher! Perhaps Louisiana will be a better illustration. That State had before the war 697,002 people—351,656 white, 325,273 black. She cast in 1860 50,510 ballots, and had seven votes in the electoral collego. If Louisiana has her right share of political power, then there are 41,952 cipher ballots in Maryland alone! How is it in the North? Maine, with a population of 622,279, and a voting population of 97,015, casts ectoral votes. New-Jorsey, with 672,035 )18 votes, bas the same number. It Maryland is right, thero are 5,456 disfranchised voters in Maine, and 28,663 in New-Jersey. If Louisiana bas her fair share, and no more, then 47,403 voters are disfranchised in Maine, and 70,615 in New-Jerscy. Two States are permitted to disfranchise, eliminate and utterly destroy the political existenco of 556,404 of their inbiabitauts, aud yet to bave a3 much influ- ence in the Union as two other States which recognize a similar popular existence. In other words, 142,072 voters in Maryland and Louisiana are as influential as 210,043 voters in Maine and New-Jersey, and have precisely the same voice in the electoral college. We | can easily fignre ont 76,071 cipher voters in thie cal- culation who bave no more power at our ballot-box thau so many Hindoos—who are nullified by the ex- | istence of a monstrous slave oppression, which belongs | to the past with all its sin and shortcomings, and | should be swept away. If President Johnson's opinions twenty years ago were worth considering to-day either as matter of record or illustration, we might show that he once ed gimilar views on this cipher question. | Ie once thought that a slave aristocracy in the South should not be permitted to out-vote free labor repre- sentatives in the South. We do not dwell upon taat, | The argument we present is so clear and compact that we losa patience with those who pretend to question |it. The argument of the Presidential organ only shows that the sympathizers with rebellion do not in- | tend to yield a single point of their old Slavery privi- leges. They will keep the negro a nondescript, and yet insistupon voting him as a citizen in reprosentation, using his strength at the ballot-box. By the Lelp of Providence, we trust not many moons will pass until this injustice is remedicd. bat seven el people, and METROPOLITAN LIQUOR-DRINKING. Since the organization of the Metropolitan Board of Excise, which took place just four weeks ago yoster- day, 3,600 persons have been licensed to sell strong and spirituous liquors in quantitios of less than five gallons. Thus far about 1,500 of that number have received and paid for the privilege. The revenue from this traffic up to five o'clock last evening was $335,- 000, Under the rule, adopted by the Board, there are but two classes of license, the first, allowing the sales of all kinds of liquor, including ale and beer, costing $200; thg socoud, permitting ouly the salo of ale and beer, and costing $100. Noarly three-fourths of the licenses grauted belong to the first-class, and the indi- cations are that this proportion will not be matorially changed. We presume the numbor of drinking houses patronized by Germans, who almost invariably confine themselves to beer a3 a beverage, will be fairly shown by the number of licenses of the second class, which roveals the immense and al- most universal appetite of other classes of citizens for a more potent stimulant—a fact that is greatly to be regretted, and as yet has proved utterly inexpli- cable. As a nation we eat, drink and live in the most rapid and melancholp manmar. Soclally, we are unique. There is no mirth at table, no conversation over our cups, whether they be filled with tea, coffee or wine; whereas, if they contain any moro stimuial- ing beverage we always drink standing. These facts were commented upon at great length in the Board of Excise when the grades of license wore fixed, and it was mainly with a view to promote tho sale of beer and the social hilarity that churacterizes our Teutonic fellow-citizens that discrimination was made between the different beverages, The sale of liguors at grocory-stores has been en- tirely prohibited. In no case has a license been granted to any person who, in the same establishment, mixed these trades. No license has been granted to the keeper of a brothel, concert-saloon or a resort for thieves. The dance-houses have also been placed under the ban of the Board. Some of the proprietors of tho latter class of drinking-houses have expressed their n',‘magnm to pay $3,000 per annum for license to sell m"h This shows how intimately associated with liguor dflp’ all the other vices are, and sug- gests the possibility that the prico for licenses has been fixed somewhat too low. Thus far no woman has been licensed. The Board, however, have not determined to grant no licenses to women, and it is more than likely some will be granted; but, those who keep brothels, or harbor prostitutes, will no doubt be interdicted. These rules will probably effectually close more than one-third of the houses in which liquor has here- tofore been sold; for the droggists are also prohibited from selling unless they are willing to pay $250 for the privilege, which has the effect of a total hinderance, Thus far, we believe, no druggist has made applica- tion for a license, which shows how utterly unueces- sary the sale of liquor is to the success of their legiti- mate business. Itis estimated, however, that within the Metropolitan Police District, “excluding the Connty of Westohester,” about 6,000 versons will be | | the American Continent. licensed to sell lignors. Estimating three-fourtbs of these as first-class licenses, we have & revenue of $1,125,000 from liquor-drinking, while the remaining 1,500 licenses will pay $150,000 for the sale of ale and beer, making a grand total of $1,275,000 willing- Iy paid for the privilego of dealing in spirituons liguors. The value of the trade may be surmised from these data. 'We are credibly informed that $30,000,- 000 worth of liquor was drank in New-York during the last year; but as it was then sold without re- straint we are Jod to believe & smallor sum will change hands under the new regimé, When we re- member that 11 deaths from starvation and an equal number from drinking took place in the city during the three weeks endmg May 5, we may confi- dently anticipate better things in the coming twelve- month. ] ABEL OR CAIN? A Louisiana judge gives us o foretaste of what may be expected from tho Soutbiern courts in dealing with the Civil Rights law. An application has been made under the act for a transfer of a cause pending in the First District Court of Louisiana in which the facts of the case are not material as the decision turned upon the constitutionality of the act. Prioreven to that question, Judge Abell thinks himself called upon to consider whether there is any such act of Congress— “a grave consideration,” he calls it. We might retort by a historical ~ doubt, in the Whately manner, whether there Do any such person as Judge Abell, but we think we can afford to admit the Judge, although he does arrive at the drendful conclusion that there is no such law as the Civil Rights law. His point appears to be that the Senate which passed the bill over the President’s veto is mot a Senate becanse tho Rebel States are unrepresented in it. This judicial decision, however, is so vague that it states only the premises of an argument, and leaves the more intrepid reader todraw the conclusion for himself. Mr. Justice Abell proceeds noxt to argue that the law, if it bo a law, is unconstitational, and a3 in this branch of his execritation he has the President’s precedents to help him, he gets o famously. The founders of the Government, we are told, were jeal- ous of encroachments either by construction, usurpa- tion by the Federal Government, or control of fac- tion. It appoars to bo the impression of Mr. Justice Abell that Madison and Hamilton foresaw the fright- fal spocter of the Civil Rights bill, and provided expressly against it. This view has the merit of novelty, Wut the Judge shortly repeuts of bhis daring originality, and falls back upon the stock metaphor that * the Federal Governmeut like the sun in the firmament is the center of power and attraction to the family of States, and they, too, in their spheres are as independent as the stars are of the sun from which they borrow their brightnese.” Then wo have a pitiful pioture of * unrepresented LoWisiana, patient in suffering, but devoted to the Constitution and laws,” but who, Spartan-like, ** will never consent to lay her sovercignty at the feet of Federal encroachments, party violence, or factious usurpation.” This may seem 8 little incoherent. But the Judge does not seom to. know how much vetoing and judicial killing the bill may be able to stand, and not content with declaring that there is no such law, and that it is unconstitutional, he procceds to explain that if there were such a law, and it were constitutional, the case before him does not come under it. Since the memorable adjudication in the mattor of the kottle wbich was cracked when defendant borrowed it, whole when he roturned it, and which he never borrowed at all, woremember no judicial determination which can rival this annibil- ation of the Civil Rights bill by Mr. Justice Abell. + Thrice he routed all his foes, and thrice bs slow the slain.” But whether the bill will stay dead, we still bave our doubts. ANERICA. The British Provinces of North America, which are now engaged in a new effurt to effect, or, at least, to preparea union, have togethera population of morethan 3,000,000 of people, and would, therefore, if united, constitute in point of population, the fourth Ameri- can State, ranking next to the United States, Mexico, and Brazil, The present, and, still more, the pros- poctive rate of increase of its population, is, however, so much superior to that of the two last-named coun- tries as to make it highly probable that ere long a united British America would be the second power of The importance which attaches to it in this point of view begins to be more fully understood on both sides of the Atlantic, and to elicit valuable information on its uatural resources dud its progress. R Among the latest publications on the subject is an instructive pamphlet from T. Rawlings, esq., entitled “What shall we do with the Hudson’s Bay Terri- tory? Colovize the Fertile Belt, which eontains Forty Millions of Acres.” The writer—a former pro- prietor of The Cheltenham Chronicle—after spending many years in. the North-Western States of the Union, has returned to England, and has, in this pamphlet, published the result of his observations on the capabilities of the immenso tract of British territory lying to the west of Canada and to the north-west of the United States, and extending to the Rocky Mountains, and from thence to tho shores of the Pacific. This immense area, generally known as the Hudson's Bay territory, is in its southern portion a mere arid desert, and in its morthern portion a region of perpetual snow; but lying between these two extremes is the “Fertilo Belt” of virgin prairie, with a loamy soil four feet deep, intersected with navigable lakes and noble rivers, and extending over an area 1,000 miles in length by 800 miles in breadth, and containing 40,000,000 of acres of the best soil and climate in the whole world. 1t is this tract of country which Mr. Rawlings brings under the notico of the British public. He recommends that it be gt once transferred from the hands of the private company which s at present _its legal owner to the British Crown; and he ventures to predict that, joined to Canada, it will develop with amazing rapidity, and soon becomo the potartul rival of the United States, both in exteut of population and in material prosperity. The expectations of Mr. Rawlings as to the rapid growth of the ** Fertile Belt” in population and pros- perity are shared by nearly all who bave visited that country. Whether the growth of British America, as long as it remains a British dependency, will ever be able to rival that of the United States we greatly donbt; but it will, at all events, be sufficiently rapid to exceed that of every other American country, and to clothe the relations of British Americato us with particular importance. If, as has now become again highly probable, the British Provinces of North America should succoed in effecting a union, aund in thus laying the founda- tion of & grand empire, threo ways will be open to them as regards their future government: Annexa- tion to the United States, continuance as a British dependency, or the establishment of an independent North American State. As regards annexation, we assume it ae certain that no political party in the United States will ever be strong enough to force it upon our neighbors against their will. They have among themselves some cham- pions of voluntary aunexation, that are in so small a number as to make the continuing separation of the nascent empire from the United States a certainty for many years to come. The choice of British America will, therefore, lie between remaining & British dependency and becom- ing on independent American Btate, under a monarchical or republican form of government. This quostion, ‘we feel confident, will soon be decided in favor of the American State. . The more powerful, populous and wealtby British America beoomes, the more the people must find out that it is better for thefs interests to govern themselves than to be governed by a distant country, which is infinitely its inforior in point of extent, and may soon be its inferior in point of population. The better knowlodge of the vast re- sources of the country, the settlement of the * Fertile Belt,” and the consequent increass of population and power may, therefore, be looked upen as so many staps toward the gradual transformation of British America from a European dependency into a froe Amcrican count: THE TIMES AND KOMANSTAMM, Onr neighbor Ths Times seems romarkably solicit- ous on the score of the health of the noted swindlee Kohnstamm, and hopes that, bocause sundcy counter- feiters have been pardoned, the President may be in- duced to extend his clemency to this, as it would seem, over-punished and every way estimable crimi- pal. The facts of this most flagraut case of ratcality must be 6o fresh in the minds of this community as to bLardly need recital; and how @ respectable paper can recommmend its coudonation we canuot understand, As The Times cites the testimony of *the most respectable and influential merchauts of this city” to show that its protegé has always borne a good character hers, it may be well to remark that, at thotrial two years ago, it was proved that forty-sight truo bills of indictmont had been found against Kohnstamm by the Grand Jury; that he had mot ouly bought false bills for soldiers’ subsistence from others, but had employed rupners and agents to procure signatures by fraud, to fill up false bills in Lis own office, and to forga official certificates and signatures a3 raquired. It was proved by living witnesses that ho had porsonally of- fered bribes and inducements to sick officers to sigu false bills, and the sworn confession of Capt. Larned of the Regular Army was offered in proof, in which he acknowledges his complioity in Kolnstamm's crimes, recites the manner in which he had been cor- rupted, and announces his intention to atone for bis dishonor by ocommitting suicids, If wa recolloot rightly, the caso was triad bofore Julgo Nelson of the United States Circuit Court, occupiod three or four doys, and ended in & unanimeus verdiot of guilty within twenty minutes after the jury left their seats. Moreover, the Court, in pronouncing sen- tence, said that the case was ono of surprising turpi- tude, that the criminal bad not ovon the inducomeut of poverty to excuse the crime; and that, so utterly rotten had the Government Disbursing Office been shown to be, the result of tho cass was of a5 much national importauce as the winning of & hattle. Kohnstamm was tried on only ono of the mass of indictments against him, and got off with ten years of punishment; whereas, if couvioted on all the bills, his term would by law have smounted to 430 years. We are woll awara that dasporase efforts Liave heon made in Washington to gloss over this great crimi nal's record, and deceivo tho Presidont into pardoning him; and it is also true that, by leok or by ccook, many respectable merchants aud public guon hava been led to recommend bis enlargement. But we cannot forget that tho records of the Courts in thia district show no case which can parallel this ono foe inoxcusable villaing, carried ou by wholesale; and wo affirm that the publication of a mere digest of the testimony in the possession of the War Departmont would shock the commnnity. Tho actual amount of money stolen by Kohnstamm is about & quartor of & willion, and & civil suit againat his eatate Las hogn. pending ever since he wont to Bing Sing. As for the allegation that the testimony given at Dais trial was not conolusive, it is suflicient to say that his connsel were William M. Evarts, James T. Brady, F. F. Mar- bury, and balf & dozen losser lagal lights, who would have shown their cliont’s ixnocence if thers had been tho shadow of a chanco to convingo the twelvs mea in the jury box, or the judgs on ths benoli. TH The National Intelligencer, which manages to apeak the opinions of Mr. Johuson, and oooupios, we be- lieve, the rather humiliating position of an *‘organ,” makes this point: I is & striking faot that, while Groat Britaia s bably abont to enfranchise great numbers of bor oitisens. m,n- American Republic, 5o far as Cougroas i3 concernod, pro to distranciise wiole peoples.

The Old School Assembly ia likely to bave an animatod debate on the question whother the decliverances of the procoding As- somblies ou the duty of logalty and against Slavery are to be repealed or sot.

Wilson, received 78 votes; the candidate of the Middle (compromise) party, Gurley, 75 votes, and the champion of the Loyal aud anti-Slavery deliverances of the former Assemblias, R. L. Stanton, 158 votes. This result, we believe, foreshadows the issue of the debate on the action of the former Assomblies. It is expected that a part, at least, of the pro-Slavery minority will secede and unite with tho Southiern Presbyterian Church. Ex-Gov.
