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.
