" A Ilodiciil j-et Needed Cliongo -Northern
and Southern Representation.
One ol the provisions of the bill recently In
troduced by Gt neral Schkkck, and of whoso
passage there Is said to be but little doubt,
amends the Constitution bo aa to procure the
appointment of representatives in accordance
will) the number of voters, and not of inhabi
tants, as the present law roads. The change
to be thus effected in our whole political sys
tem is a most radical one, and should receive
the calmest and most thorough investigation
before any dechion Is arrived at In the re
sults it will produce, it could only be exceeded
In Importance by the adoption of a property
qualification for suffrage, and far more swoop
ing than any such action could bp. It Is, in
fact, the only door through which the Gene
ral Government can interfere with the right
of citizenship ; and even in this instance, its
agency Jis rather secondary than final In its
results, although not the less powerful because
of its being Indirect.
The original drafters of the Constitution
were particularly caie ful to leave to each
State the right of prescribing what should
qualify a vqter within its limits. That the
States Lave availed themselves of this privi
lege Is testified by the diversity of qualifica
tions. In Massachusetts the term of years
needed before naturalization is much longer
than in some of the new Western States,
while in New York a negro must have six
hundred dollars' worth of property before he
can vete, wh'le here no wealth can secure him
BuOrage. Other equally distinct differences
exist, each State availing itself of its privi
lege, and prescribing who shall be its citi
zens. Whde, therefore, Congress cannot say
who shall vote, it caa, however, so apportion
the representation as to exclude a larr?e num
ber of residents from being counted In the
apportionment. v The pre3eut law as it exists
allows one representative for every 127,030
fiee residents, while in the South three-fifths
of the slaves were added. Siuce the proclama
tion: of freedom, and tlio adoption of the
constitutional amendment forever abolishing
slavery, the South have gained two-fifths more
influence than they had in the days when
human servitude was tueir corner-stone.
Thus, formerly it would have taken 230,000
blacks to secure one representative, while
now 127,000 are entitled to one, although
iiot one vote can be cast by the whole
number who are represented. According to
the census of 18G0, the Southern States were
entitled to eighty-four members of Congress.
These eighty-four members represented about
eight million whites, and three fifths ef four
millions of slaves, or two million four hun
dred thousand slaves. Now the white popu
lation, at 127,000 to each representative would
have been entitled to sixty-seven members, the
remaining seventeen being secured under the
constitutional law. At the present time, in
place of 2,400,000 blacks being counted, there
will be 4,000,000 who will be represented by
thirty members in the lower House, or they
will thus gain thirteen more members, or a
number equal to the whole influence of Maine
Kew Hampshire, Vermont, and Rhode Island
combined. The additional power thus Hccared
is theirs without extending to the blacks a
single vote, or giving them willingly a single
additional privilege. In fact, the Norbh, in
a flush of gratitude, has forced upon the
South thirteen more members of Congress, as
a reward of their rebellion. The fruit of their
treason is this acquisition of power, and,
should they be readmitted, we would have
ninety -se von Southern to one hundred and
forty-two Northern representatives, or a popu
lation numbering but 8,000,000 whites has
nearly as much power as one including 2,200,
000. This is a gross and flagrant violation of
the fundamental doctrine of a republican Gov
ernment, a repetition of the old truckling syco
phancy which we had hoped the war had suc
cessfully obliterated, a crying injustice to
the Northern voter, and a system wheih can
not but promote ill-feeling between the sec
tions, and end angerour national life.
The only feasible remedy Is that suggested
in the Reconstruction Committee, and which
General Schenck says has the approval of
the President. The national authorities have
no right to extend to the blacks the privilege
of suffrage, as that is specially reserved ior
the local powers ; but they can decide on the
elective apportionment of the House. The
measure advocated is to limit the apportion
ment to voters, and not to residents. To say
that every 25,000 voters, and .not 127,000 In
habitants shall constitute a Congressional
district, and thus cut off all minors, women,
and blacks from having an influence In Con
gress which they cannot themselves exert.
By this meats only such Southerners as shall
. be pardoned citizens of t,he United States
would be counted In the enumeration, and
all blacks and traitors be excluded until they
were admitted to the right of suffrage. This
would act as an Inducement to the whites to
extend the privilege to the freedmen in order
to secure additional representatives, and would
Lave the effect of securing perfect equality of
Influence between the citizens of evey por
tion of. the Union. We therefore warmly ad
vocate the adoption of the amendment by
TIIK DAILY EVENING- TKLEGItAl'H PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,
Congress, and its submission to the various
Legislatures of the various Katea.
I3y the adoption of such a change, the vexed
question of the future state of the blacks
would be settled by giving it over to the
States, and letvlng it to them whether they
would secure the additional power by extend
ing the additional right, or continue to pam
per to their prejudices, and remain with a di
minished influence. We firmly believe that, In
such an alternative, the love of power would
overcome their hatred of the blaclt, and suf
frage bo almost Immediately extended.
Yi helher such would be advisable la a ques
tion of extreme doubt, but as the States ex
tending the right will have to bear the good
or ill effects themselves, we are glad that an
inducement will bo offered them to try the
experiment. "The only preparation for free
dom is freedom," writes Macauley; but
whether the only preparation for suffrage Is suf
frage, Is a question which, as it, concerns only
the South, we will li ave for the South to de
cide. The amendment is one demanded by
justice, and will, we hope, receive the early
attention of Congress and the Tresldent.
The Steamship Enterprise
A general mistake has been made in regard
to the meeting of tbs friends o( the steamship
line to Southern ports at the Board of Trade
rooms last week ; and, because it was not
reported In the papers, it has been thought a
failure. On the contrary. It was a decided
success. The facts stated, the money con
tributed, and the spirit of the merchants pre
sent, Lave greatly encouraged the movement.
The meeting was not public, but strictly a
business meeting of the Chairmen of Com
mittees. The enemy of the Corn Exchange Is now
an additional reason for expecting the speedy
establishment of these steam lines. That associ
ation on Saturday emphatically endorsed the
project as indispensable to the prosperity of
the city, iid resolved to co-dperate earnestly
with the General Committee holding its meet
ings at the rooms of the Board of Trade.
Many of the leading members of the Corn
Exchange have been interested in the plan
from the first.
At the business meeting on Friday it was
stated that the subscriptions now reach nearly
500,000, with a number of important com
mittees yet to be heard lrora. We think these
figures tell their own story. The first part of
the work was the hardest. It. has now been
shown that the merchants and manufacturers
of Philadelphia understand the greatness of
this enterprise, and t.ie completion .of the
Fund Is merely a matter of perseverance and
time. In one month, we predict, $800,000 at
least will be subscribed.
To Wuicn of tii e Victobs Belong
the Spoils ? The recent publication of the
amount of prize money allotted to the various
ranking officers ol the navy, has attracted at
tention to the evident injustice which charac
terizes the basis ol such a division. It will
be seen that the officers' receipts only , have
been published, those of the Beamen who con
stituted the crew not being given. We can
tell, however, the amount given to them by
comparison. The law on the subject pre
scribes that the amount of money accruing
from the capture of a prize shall be divided
into three equal parts one of which goes to the
commander of the squadron, unless the vessel
be on detached service ; one to the officers and
crew pro rata to their pay ; and the last to
the Government. It will be thus seen how
Admiral S. P. Lee, in his delicious berth at
Fortress Monroe, receives $99,000 for doing
nothing ; how Pouter, on the Mississippi,
gets his $90,000; while. F are ag tjt, wander
ing from port to port, lashed to the mast-head
during dangerous engagements, winning honor
at Mobile and being every where where danger
threatened and glory could be achieved, gets
for his services $55,000 a little more than
half as much as those who did much less ser
vice and hold a much inferior rank. Thus
he glaring injustice of such a division to the
officers themselves will be seen. ,
It is even more wrong, however, when the
demands of the sailors and subordinates are
considered. What had Admiral Lee or Ad
miral Pobteb to do with nine-tenths of the
captures made; where would they stand?
There is every prospect that they did not see
fhe fight or know of the arrival of the prize
in the neighborhood until she was manned by
a United States crew. Yet one-third of that
prize goes to the Admiral (or holding a spy
glass, and ruling with rigor on his own shipf
while the lieutenant and sailors who secured
the vessel, undergo the danger, and risk life
and all that is dear to secure Tier, receive a
miserable pittance of one-third. The share
which would be allotted to a common sailor
will, if be has undergone all the privations,
be about five hundred dollars, in comparison
with the one hundred thousand dollars of the
useless, safe Admiral in command of the
squadron. Again, the little money even thus
acquired has to bo divided among all. the
crews of all the vessels in sight at the time.
Thus those who do the . work receive less
than those who, safe in the distance, view, or
miles away, are supposed to command the
vessel by which the capture Is effected.
And thkV is called justice I This is a fair dis
tribution of prize money I It is a wrong and
an outrage on the American seamen. It
savors too much of the nobility In the British
navy ; of the Admiral of the Ked, of the White,
and of the Blue. We call on the Naval Com
mittees of Congress to see that some rectifica
tion of this evil is effected. If bravery is to
be rewarded, and daring and heroism en
couraged; if we want Nelsons, Joneses, and
FABBAOUTS,they must come from the lower
' grades, and the best incentive to fame Is to
secuie such a reward as will stimulate the
young to exertion. When this is done, and
justice is secured, then we can expect to see
our navy rise even higher than the lofty
height it occupies to-day.
