THE DA1IA EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1866. THE ITEW YOEK PRESS. Editorial Opinion of the Leading Journals Upon th Most Import lant Topics of the Hour. COMPILED BVXttT DAT TOVL 1VE1UHQ Ttt9Rira Senator Tatei oa Univeisal Suffrage. From the Iribune, It b probable that the lecond clause of the Anti-Slaver Amend ient will be a good deal dtocossod and availed of iu the legislation that Is to' precede Reconstruction. -Tne power to enforce the prohibition of elaverv bj "appro priate loglnlatioa'' miget bo derived from the first clause of the amendment under a previous provision of the Constitution, but it wm none the less a prudent precaution to affirm it in ex press terms. Several measures based on this second clause are now before Congress, among them -the following, introduced last January in the Senate bjr the lion. Richard Yates, of Illinois: "Be it enaoted by the Senate and Honse ef Repre sentatives of the United Mate of Amenoa in Jou gress astembied, lost do 8 aie or territory of the united States iball, by any constitution, iaw, or other regua ion whatever, ueretoiore in foroe or Bereattei to te adeptod, maks, or entorce, or in auy manner recognize aay dutiaouon between cit sens of the Cniuid States, or of any tttat or Territory, on ateoant oi race or color or condition, and that liereat.er all citizens, witnont diitincioa ot race, color, or condition, shall be protested in the tall ana equal enluymeut ana exercise 01 all taeir civil and politiual rights, motudinj toe rijht ot suffrage." It is about two years since Illinois, under the puldance, we believe, of Oevernor Yates, abo lished her black code, which was scarcely belter than a slave code, and here now is her Governor, become Senator, and presenting a bill to protect all citizens without dsstinctlou of color in the enjojmentof all rijrhts, including the right of eull'rage. Tbis progress is somewhat character istic ol the West, which is apt to make up Us mind with a considerable degree of decision. What it wants, it wants with a will. Mr. Yates may or may not be ahead of his State in this matter, but ho assumes the risk fearlessly: "Gentlemen ask me 'if 1 will ee before the people of Illinois with sucb a proposition as this?' Ay, in deed, and welcome it. I have no foar ot tbe result. Through Hie o ouds ot tbe present 1 see ibe bright ness of tbe future. There la di-ep.seated in the hearts of the Amtncaii people every where, tbe firm conviction ti at this novro question, however un T atable its discussion may be, will never be set tl d until it is adjusted upon tbe principles of justice and equality." If Congress does possess the power to regulate by such a bill as this the qualifications of electors, there is no little forco in the suggestion that its exercise is tbe only sure way to settle questions of reconstruction. Whether any par ticular amendment to the Constitution will be adopted is aoubtlui, and whether it can or can sot be, it involves delay, whereas legislation is complete, ppeedy,. aod, Mr. Yates believes, will be etiective. the war, in his view, was to de termine "whether the Constitution and laws of the United States were to be the supreme law of the land, or whether State Sove reignty was to be tho supreme law. The Union conquered, yet it is now proposed to leave to the local politicians of the several States the adjuHment of the relations of the freed men; and by so doing to imperil all we have gained politically by the war, and to abandon the ireedmen themselves to the con trol of their old masters, or of the white class which they aided to subdue. But by the anti slavery amendment, tbe termer slave nas become a freeman; his disability is removed; he steps from his condition of slavery into tho family of freedom, becomes one ol the body politic, and is one of the sovereign people. He does not seed that tbe. rights of citizenship should be conferred on him; they are his; And all that is necessary is that he should be protected in their enioymeut. Tbe distinction between civil and political rights isaa illusory one; at any rate, the ballot is necessary to the secure enjoyment of all other rights and as it is admitted! that Congress bas the power to pans laws to protect the lrcedman in his person and property, it must have the power to protect him in the exer cise of the elective franchise. Nor is Senator Yates disturbed by the cry that his demand is impracticable that such a mea sure cannot be carried. "As tor me, I would rather face tho musle and meet the responsibility like a man, and send to tbe people ol the State of Illinois the boon ot universal bulhage and of a lull and coinplote emancipation, '.ban meet the taunt ol Northern demagogues that I would force sufl'rae upon North Carolina, and lea nouses, ana Delaware, while 1 had not tbe conraie tu prescribe it tor car own tree status. Mir, it will he the crime ol the century if now, huvinr the power, as we clearly Lave, we lack the nerve to do the work that is riven u to do. "Let me say to my epablian trlonds, you are too late.- You have (tone too lar to roeeoe now. Four million people, ono-sevento of your whole popula tion, yon baro set tree. Will you stand back ap palled at the enolianwioiit your own wand bis caih dupf Tbe sequences ef your own teachings are upon you As lor me, I start not back appalled when universal sufliare coulronts me. When the bloody gho. f of slavery rises I tay, 'Shake voor ghty locks at mo; I did it.' 1 aooept the situation. I lie lit not against the lotrio of events or the decrees of I rovidnnce. 1 expected it, Sir, and I Meet it half way. 1 am for uoivortal suffrage, I bid it all hail." Tho speech is throughout in the same cou rageous and hopelul tone, confident of tbe future, land of the inalienable fidelity of the pcuplc to tno idea of political equality. The Reconstruction Committee and Oar Foreign k l lends. - - From the ?ime$. We venture to think that if t'-ie labors ot the Reconstruction Committee, thus far, have not given very general satlulaction at home, they have been estimated at their jupt value abroad. There has not been a single step taken by that Committee, hitherto, that has not aiforded su preme gratification to the Gregorys, the Roe bucks, and the Lairds of the House of Commons. There has been nothing in the radios! temper, as displayed either in the Reconstruction Com mittee or in the House, that has not carried tbe greatest loy into the household of every enemy of the Union, from Vera Cruz to Paris. All that was predicted for us of political failure, as tho neces9ury consequence ot mili tary success, the opponents of the President's policy here are doing their best to realize tor us. Were there an international difficult; to arise to moirow, we t-houM practically present the sasse eeciioual and geographical division as when the legions of Lee and Stone wall Jaokson were en camped on Loudon and Maryland Heights. If wo have escaped this terrible danger thus far if we escape it henceforth is it due to the judg ment, discretion, and patriotic forbearance of the radical faction t Is it not rather duo to tbe same conciliatory temper which steadily refused to yield to radical impulses in conducting the foreign relations of the Government during the hottest and most dishearteuiug period of the Rebellion f The verv teniDor broucrht to Lear unon the management ot our foreign affairs during the loner, exasperating season ol Rebellion, makes it ossible if not lotss tor the radicals to say and to t o their utmost to-day, either in or out of Congress. Had there been a radical for Secretary of State durmg the 2reiU crisis there certainly would bive been no such tree speech in Congress or. for that maiter, speech of any kind as we hear vo-dav. Th verv license theje extreme politi cians' have at this hour is a license procured for tiwrn and maintained for tUf-ro by statesmen who have cone thiough the severe discipline ot iteenmir a bridle uoon their tonzues. wo one ratiatilu ot tairlv estimatiiicr the polltieiU situa tiou expects that Mr. Stevens, or men ot his type, realize this fact. They are an ineapable of seeing where there lay extreme peril abroad, wmle the war lasted, as they are unable to see where extreme peril may exist no, after the war has ended. In b.itu cases, their Judgment shows the same leeblcness. Iu the very heat of the conflict, oue section of them, headei by the New York Triliunt, desired forelca intervention; another, headed fey a more courageous leader, desired a declaration f foreign war. Tbe Gov ernment rofusfd to listen to either elass, then. It refuses to listen to eitner, now. The situation Is not essentially changed, as far as the spirit, the pluek, and the faith of sound-hearted Ameri cans are concerned. The firmness of the Execu tive is nst as essential to the salvation of the country tbis year as it was when the radical hounds were on Mr. Lincoln's track lour years ago. The Reconstruct! Committee Its At tempt to Assist the Republican Party la . tbe New England .Elections. Frtm the HermU. The Reconstruction Committee has given to the world a series of carefully chosen extracts from tho evidence before it on the condition of the Southern States. There is now in the hands of the oomsalttee a valuable mass of evi dence as to the extent to which tho Southern people are reconstructed la their political sen timents. It is a pity that it did not suit the purposes of the fifteen to lay before the world the whole of this evidence, or a digest of the whole ot 1U The information that would thus have been furnished would have bee a useful, and the people could have learned by it the exact political condition of the late Confederacy. But we could scarcely have expected anything so fair from a body so bitterly partisan. Instead of performing its plain duty in this matter, the committee has given selections from its ma terial, chosen with an epecial view to the etltct they may have on the New Bngland elec tions, it tends out not a faithful report, but an electioneering document. It has garbled the testimony, choosing for present publication only such part, as it deems likely to inflame the puMic mind against the South, and so to strengthen the position of the Republican party In opposing tbe restoration of those States. U will gratify every true friend of the coun try to find that this partisan committee going through all the evidence belore it with this par tisan purpose ia view has been, able to say so little. It will reassure all men and give a new laith in the ultimate success of tho eood cause to find that this notorious Fifteen this radical inquisition bas not been able, after all its labors, to put forward one good substantial argument against reconstruction. Opinions are given. General Grierson "thinks" that 11 tbo disloyal bad been niote severely dealt with there would have been more loyalty in the South at present. It may be very important that General Grierson thinks th s, and yet very sensible persons may doubt if tho best sort of loyalty is made in that way. General Grierson is cogr.izant that slaves have been told that when the soldiers went away they "would be just as much slaves as ever." This proves that there are men down there who will tell lies. But is the tact that there are some liars in a given community to deprive all the decent men iu that community of the benefits ot law, and to entail upon the whole country the evils of anarchy? General Saxton also testifies. This general has always been one ot tho military Dets ol the radical party. He is "a hero that never set a squadron in the field, nor the division of a battle knows." He is a major-general, tuiueh it ia notorious that he was never in a riirht. He owes his promotion not to gallant services, but to a happy choice of political views. It shows the recklesi disrespect the radicals have lor what is good and gieat, and for public opinion, when they set up the expressions of such a man against tbe very poult ive declarations of men like Grant and Sherman. Testiuiony from General Thomas is Included to give weight and one good name to the docu n.eut. But in giving the honest soldier's story they had to give the good with tbe bad, anil though here and there a sentence in what Thomas says indicates that Rebel thoughts are still strong in the South, there is so much that is the other way that these utterances oi one man will alone well nigh destroy the radical position that the Southern States' must be kept out on account of the sentiments ol the people. Thomas, interrogated as to the feel ing immediately alter Lee's surrender,, says that the universal report made to him was to the etlect that tbe mam ot tbe people were very bappy nt the. downfall ot the Rebellion, ana at their prospect ot snoa getting again under the Constitution and Government ol the United States." The "mass of the people" then were not very cood Rebels at that time, and if they now feel less happy at the prospect of get ting under onr Government, is not the inference inevitable that it is the course of the Radical Congress that has made the change? "feoplo in Alabama." says Thomas, "think they have had a fair trial iu their atteinpt;to gain their in dependence, and have failed completely," and that is the whole point on which reconstruc tion turns, and the only paint ot which we require to b sure, in order to be certain that restoration is safe and proper. The people are satisnea mat ineir attempt was a luiiure, ana have thrown away ail the thoughts and hopes it gave rise to. Lesides this declaration of General Thomas, and the similar one previously made by General Grant, all tbe statements ot the radicals the other way are trivial and trashy. We niierht, if eny point was to be gained by it, admit the truth of ail tne radicals say in this document, and In quire What then? When you have shown all th e, what have you proved? What has all this got to ao witn reconstruction r witn constitu tional rights and national policy ? Nothing what ever. All this rehash of the idle gabble ol Schnrz is Impudently irrelevant as to the great question ueiore tne country, it is an examination oi ins pititul points of a people's life, of thelrprejudices, their small vices, their likes and dislikes things witn wuicn tne law aoesnot meddle in countries less despotic than Austria. And all these little points are quoted against the South, and a great party tells us that these are reasons why the nation should Dot re-establish itselt in Ub former strength, and should not restore eleven great States to their natural placos. Did a great party ever before put lorth anything so lost in finbo- cuity us mis r The Test Oath. Frm the World. I'resident Johnson is reported to have inti mated, on several recent occasions, his opinion that the oath Imposed by the Constitution ought to be deemed sufficient A man who swears iresent loyalty, and future fidelity, may bo rusted if ho swears truly. If he would perjure himself with this oath, he would with any other. All the security to be derived from oaths would be as fully had from the Bin pie oath to support the Constitution, required by that instrument as a qualification lor holding oluco, as by any poesiuio mono ui swearing. The TnbwKhaa also, wuhin the last few days, virtuallv exuressed disapprobation of the Lent. oath. Yirtuutty, wo say; tor its article made no direct alluHon to it. But the implication is clear enough, wnen tue xnuune atlirms tbe ex pediency of admitting Alexander II. Stephens, and men like him, to official positions. Mr. btophens cannot swear that he never aided the Rebellion; and yet the test oath requires him to swear to that belore he can take his scat in the Senute. i Secretary McCulloch has found tbe law impos ing the test oath bo ill-jo tlped and inconvenient that be has been obliged to disregard it in ad- miBistenufr the auairs or the Treasury DeoaU ment. Not that Mr. McCulloch would volun tarily violate any law; but wbeu two different laws impose on him inconsistent duties, he mujt, find )ndee lor himself which i of paramount obligation. The tax laws require him to collect the revenue, which can be done only through instruments. There are many revenue districts in the South where , there cannot be found for assessors and collector. can' ble . and responsible nieu. who have never. in auy way, given countenance to the Rebellion, lie bas accordingly, lather than lose the revenue, appointed men who could take no other oath thau that ot allegiance to the f iovfl'liliieut aiul tirielitv to tbnir ofthtia duties. The collection of the revenue beiun the end, and theoulh administered to tne oiiicer only a pro- cautionary means.- Mr, McCulloch, rather than take the responsibility of throwing away the Pouthmn branch of the revenue, assumed tho alternative rasponsifellitv of modifying tbe oath. This tesj oath, whatever may have been said In its justification during the Rebellion, is found, now that we are in possession of the South, to involve the practical abserdity of relieving the South from taxation as a moans of punishing it for iU past disloyalty. ... But the officers thus appointed by Mr. MoCul lech cannot be legally paid by him without a change of the existing law. A convention of the Southern and assessors collectors was held, a few days sii.ee, at Atlanta, wbich resulted In sending to Washington a ooasmittee to solicit from Congress such a modi loaf ion ot the law as would permit them to be paid, and to continue the discharge of their tin tie. ' Some action must be tad, or Congress will abandon the revenue. The enly alternative to tbe repeal of the test oath is an Increase of Salaries to such a pomt that Northern men oan afford to take the Southein collector-ships and asses serships; a change which would be every way inexpedient. Not only would they want a local know ledge necessary to an intelligent dis charge of their duties, but the repugnance of the inhabitants to such intrusion would render their duties difficult and Irksome, and would require an addition to the military force ol tbe South to support them. The best way oat of the difficulty Is to repeal the test oath, and to substitute tberefor tbe oath to support the Constitution. If revtDge for past disloyalty is to be the perma nent policy of tho Government, the South will never be reconciled, and we shall have an ex pensive Government by force instead of the cheap Government by consent which accords with our republican system.
