From the Timet.
One of the evil remiltlne from tho policy of
ny&teniat.icall.Y ecln(linff Sotithcre rtprcsonta
tUlvci from ConpreR, Is that we are deprivod
of the Constitutionally piovldcd means of ascer
taining the necessities, wishes, opinions, and
nentirurnts of a liirprc sertlon of tho Union, com
prising one-third our entire population. Wo
know that In many tinners the Southern States
are Rufleilng Brently ,or want of proper legisla
tion, or for v nnt of proper consideration of their
necessities in those matters tew, but Important
over rilrli the National Legislature has con
trol, The Executive, no far as lies In his power,
lias carried on the nrrtnotis work of rc-establish-inf
the frustrated interests of the South) but on
a liunitred Mibjecls, and in a thousand points,
leeirtlauon ol, a practical cast is imperatively re
quited, as luiput be expected, alter the cessa
tion ol all cllective legislation lor four Tears,
bo lar as - the entire region lying south
of the Potomac is concerned. In lieu ot
interest and action upon these matters, which,
come clearly vi it bin its constitutional province,
OngreFS luis devoted itself to legislation on sub-
jecis concerning which its power is at least du-
ions, and the most import-tut results ot which
Jiavc been vetoed by the President on conslitu-,
tit.nal cronnils. Were there representatives '
from the Southern States on the floor men fa
miliar with the condition ot things in their re
spective tit ates, and with all the questious on
which they require legislative action, we might
expect to tind not only more intelligent discus
sion ol those delicate bociul topics which require
treatment, but a proper presentation of those
practical interests ot the South which have
been so long iit-electetl, and. which now so im
peratively demand attention. Leaving out ot'
notice here all the pressing matters of Soutu
eru intercBt which have been left out of notice
in Congress, we will name but a single
question that has been- up within a lew days
pat, upon which the nreuments of Southern
representatives would have been ot greit aid
to intelligent legislation. We reler to the ques
tion of an export lax upon cotton. It Is but
natural to suppose that the kno ldgcof mum
bers Irom the South as to the effect upon South
ern industry, upon the cotton culture, and upon
Souttiern prospects generally, of an export cot ton
tax ol two cents per pound, would be more
accurate and intelligent than that of members
from the Northern States. Some may say, even
on this question, which wo bring up merely as
an illustration, the local interests would lead all
the Southern Hcpresentatives to vote one way,
if they bad the liberty of voting; but this is an
argument, if it be an argument at all, that works
both ways, and bears aaainst the vote of North
ern members as strongly as it would against
that of Southern members.
Wo are likewise hindered from obtaining
through legitimate channels tho opinions and
sentiments of the Southem people upon nume
rous important questions ot national interest
by the exclusion of their representatives. Con
gress itself has to fall back upon such means as
It has adopted in calling betore it tor examina
tion prominent mei:, such as Leo, Botts, and
others from the Southern states. The people
generally have to tall back upon what they
learn from the newspapers; and this differs so
widely, accordinely to the predilections of dif
ferent journals, that nothing but confusion can
result to tho public .ludgmeut. Even those who
regularly see Southern papers find it hard to
gather from them the public sentiment of the
body of the Southern people.
Iu one sense, newspapers are an index to
public sentiment, but like indexes generally,
which only gfve hints and detached glimpses bt
a subject, they are very apt to mislead those
who have not some familiaritv with tho matter
treated of. Out of a great body of Southern
papers now betore us, wo could, by adrbit and
unscrupulous' scissoring, detach and bring to
gether pieces that would represent as prevalent
any state ot opinion and feeling we might de
sire. We all know what discreditable ends
some ot our contemporaries constantly serve
by this moans; and we would as soon go to a
man's most malignant enemy to learn his true
character as to these sources to learn tho real
condition of affairs.
Wo would obtain far more satisfactory answers
to such important questions as thoso which the
Congressional Commit tee put to General Lee,
than were given, were tho representatives from
Soutlu rn States admitted to places in tho Na
tional Legislature. We would be no less strin
gent than the most stringent we would be no
less stringent than PreFhlcut Johnson himself,
in requiring from these representatives, before
Ihey took their seats, the most conclusive evi
dei.ecs of loyalty ot siiirit and purpose. Hut
bein? satisfied a to tlii-i, we thould als-i feel
Butistied that the nation at large would have
more intelligent opinions upon' the Southern
"situation," and that Congress would be abb; to
legislate more intelligently upon Southern In
terests, were these representatives admitted to
their seats.
Potcction and High M'ages.
From the Trilune.
Piotcction is the true policy of industrial
countries wherein wages are high. Free trade
is the policy of industrial countries wherein
wages are low. Wages in Gn at Britain ure only
about one quarter of what they at e iu the United
Sta'es. Free trade, therefore, is lust the thing
for the British. That would open our ports to
their low-priced goods, the prod net of low-priced
labor, and would drive our mechanics from
work into idleness, wherein they would buV
everything and sell nothing, till they came by
starvation to a deadly competition lor employ
ment with foreign operatives, who labor lor
the bheer means to keep soul and bedy together.
in tho "copper mines." as Frederick Douglass
calls the traitorous section of Northern politics,
it is consistent lor Americans to advocate and
plot with foreigners Bntish free trade. Tho
cotton planiers wi-ro educated by Calhoun to
the policy ot keepirg the Yankees from manu
facturing, and conlining them to raising cheap
food for their slaves. The failure ot their Bo
bell ion has nol sottened the temper of this edu
cation. The reconstructed South would vote
solid to destroy the wealth-producing industry
of the loval States. And their unprincipled
slaves in the ''copper miues" would lick their
shoes while they voted with them. But what
xplanatiou can be given for the votes that
would tail alter these, cast by men who don't
Teside in tho copper mlnei. but do dwell in that
neighborhood, and aro mighty loud ot their
residence T
Inflation Blunders.
From the Tribune.
It la instructive to note that no champion of
& currency of printed lios can possibly state
fairly the positions they pretend to controvert
Thus, one of their last efforts reads thus:
"You claim that it would be eood polioy to with
draw irom circulation the fix or seven hundred
millions ihf I ,' in toll htutog iiidebtorinong wliic.U in not
now arawiug Interest, and convert it into bonds

nothing of the kind. What we "claim" is tuat
the Government shall speak truth, as honest
neoiile do. It has issued several iiundroa mil

That is bad morality and bad finance. Let it
simply redeem its notes in coin on presontati
at ihe Pub Treasurv iu New York, and then

so
many of tlu-m as are uselul to and uoedod by

example, cau ubo greenbacks iu our business to

Tiie World Moves.
From the Daily Aevt.
, To-day a year ago, that saw the power of tho
Confederacy crumblo iu the ruin that befol its
capital seemed, also, iu that losi, to lnaugu
rate tho decline of ono of tho main principles of
the Republic. Apparently, in that day, the
champion that had done battle for the rights of
the States lay conquered beneath tho heel of
Apolyon. Centralization, in that moment,
flushed with tho victory that had been accorded
it, raieed the piean abovo its prostrate antago
nist; and to the appeasing of Its long-cherished
hatred of the South, it. united that other plea
sure that should spring Irom tho triumph of its'
old conspiracies agaiust tho spirit of republi
canism. How these conspiracies were sprung, first In
the Senate and more recently in the House; how
tin; Kaclii-al Directory in tlinse bodies, led by
Stevens und Sumner, respectively the Manton
and Kobesplerre ot the movement, prated exult
intrly of Vittr purposes to tho detriment of the
republic; how the former could find no other
name for the President than "the man at the
other end of the avenue;" hew ttio latter openly
nccusea uie rresment ot senning in a "winto
wit hing message" to the Scuato; and how,
f.nallv, when their -purposes were made appa
rent, Mr. Johnson cut them short iu t'.ieir anti
contitutional career by his two vetoes ot their
revolutionary measures against the rights of
States h! I these events w ill live in history as
a part of tho record ol the times that saw arise,

The Woman's Itights Bill and the Civil
Rights Bill.
From the Herald.
The women of America have sense enough to
perceive that their time has come. They aro
determined that the agitation la Congress about
universal suffrage shall not be understood to
refer to negro suffrage alone. They claim the
right to vote, uud iu a circular, which we pub
lished in jcstcrday's.paper, they have called a na
tional convention, to meet at the Church of tho
Puritans, on Thursday next, in order to direct
the attention of Congress and the people to this
important subject. All distinctions of color
having been abolished, Meidames Stauton aud
Anthony now demand the abolition ot all. dis
tinctions of sex. The negro is not to be ex
cluded from tho ballot-box on account of his
skin, und why should a woman be excluded on
account of her petticoats ? Great stress has been
laid upon the f act that the word slave does not
occur in tho Constitution; but the word woman
is also ignored in that ancient and respected
document
There is nnt an argument used in favor of
negro suffrage which is not quite a9 potential
in iavor 01 woman suurage. uu tneotnor nana,
most of the arguments used against giving tho
ballot to the negro fail to apply in the case of
tho woman, y negroes served the country
during the recent war, so did women, it
negroes are born free and equal, so are women.
But the accusation of want of intelligence, so
often urged against the blacks, cannot be made
against our lair female friends. Nor can it bo
said ot women, as it is ot the negroes, that ihey
will be too much under the lulluence of the
white men, since tho contrary is notoriously
the case. The time, then, is propitious. Wo
have a Congress ready tor any extravagance.
Let some radical member present a Woman's
Bights bill, aud it will pas more easily than the
Civil Itights bill, and bo much more acceptable
to Ihe people, i
By way of hints or texts for the addresses to
be delivered "by persons to bo herealter an
nounced," Mrs. Eli.abeth Cady Stautons cir
cular places belore us a low of tho reasons why
women, as well as negroes, should be allowed
to rote. And let us declare in advance, lest
this conjunction of w omen and negroes should
prove ollensive, that the association is suggested
by the circular Itself, and is, indeed, one uf the '
very strongest points upon which iho women of
America rely in their appeals to tho tyrant, man.
lor justice and equal rights. In the most logical
and irresistible manner they take it for granted
that this Covcmmeet is a failure, and then ex
plain that this is because our practice has not
i.een according to our principles that is to say,
because we have not given equnl rights to all
men, women and ncproes. Well, it tho Govern
ment is a failure, weih.nk that tho above ex
planation is about as good as any other. The
next step of this sublime argument is very plain.
11 the Government is uluilurc, and it withholding
equal rights is the cause thereof, then we have
only to bestow equal rights in order to make
Hie Government a success. And here Mrs.
tstiinlon cud the other women tind fault with
Congress, which only proposes to give equal
rights to the neyio'es. Whv, that will not
remedy the evil. That will nut "come ono line
nearer the Republican idea." The negroes are
not "all." Women, too, must be endowed with
those 'Tights privileges and immunities" be
tore we can "reconstruct the. Government on
the one enduring rusis that has never vet been
tried." TliPre is the whole matter in a nut-
t-heil, as clear as the sky in Juue and as irvefu-
lanic as me logic ol events, it is true tnat Mrs.
Manton and her lovely assistants did uot have
space enough In their circular to tell us why
this Government is a failure, or to prove that
the founders ol the republic, the originators of
our "republican idea," intended that women and
negroes snouin vote: cor to lntorm us now a
"basis that has never vet been tried" can bo so
confidently pronounced "the one enduring
basi:" but h11 these trilling omissious will doubt
less be supplied at the convention uext Thurs
day. Mrs. Stauton' circular reminds us of Cal
houn's speeches, because if von admit its pre
mises you cannot deny its conclusions. But in
this respect its logic is also not so verv ditlerent
Iron i that of the famous stanza, familiar in ull
well regulated households:
If a man who turnips cries.
Cries not wheu bin hither dies,
' 1 Is a proof ttiut be would rather
Have a turnip than his father.
In a practical point of view, we have not the
flighteat doubt that the present Congress will
give woman tho sull'rage after it gets through
with tho negro. Senator Sumner, the radical
leader, shows great lack ot gallantry in not
allowing the women tho preference. Mrs. Stan
ton Indignantly asks, "Should not our petitions
command as respectful a hearing in a republi
can Senate a a speech of Victoria in tho
liouse of Ixirds But she might ask, still more
indignantly. "Should not a Senate of whito
men attend to the righto and wrongs of
hfiecn millions of white women who pay
taxes, Instead of devoting themselves exclu
sively to three millions of Ignorant negroes 1"
One of Mrs. Stanton's other queries "Shall an
American Congress "pay less honor to the
(laughter of a President than a British Parlia
ment to the daughter of a King?" may as well
be omitted in future publications; for its forco
s somewhat -weakvuod by the fact that the
daughter of the President U not known as an
advocate ol won tin's light'. Neither do we
believe that the wrorgs ot woman, as rccapitu
la'ed by Mis. Stt.ntn, are calculated to cause
a crushde on her liehall. Mr. Stanton's com
plaint is that women constitute "the aristo
crucv," and that "woman holds an ideal posi
tion above nmn and the work of Me," and that
this Is "initiating tho pomp, heraldry, pud dis
tinctions of an clleto European civilizition."
Ib-re is just ground, perhaps, mr complaint on
the part of man; but it is ccttainly rather sin
gular lor woman to find fault because we make
lirr an aristocrat find plAce her above us and
will not let her woik. Nevertheless, if woman,
docs not like it; i she prefers to have a ballot
in hoi hand "and tiler ity on her brow;" If slid
wniits to iry her fortune with the roughs at
primary meetings and do her Mrs. Cauriloing on
a grand scalo upon tho lloor ot Congress;- it she
insists upon aislfiing-us in our political can
vases and cairying her knitttngor embroidery
into political conventions; if, in short, she Is
really desirous of hVuring on the stump and
being recogtuxed as "iieir-anparent to tho
throne," or candidate for the Presidency, why
should we oblect? We have had so many old
women in politics and high places that a fow
young ones would be a decided relief. The peo
ple would rather have woman sutlrago than
negro Buflraec any day.
Ma) hap tho radical Senators, who were so
williDg to accept Senator Stewart's bargain of
UMversal amnesty tor unlversul suffrage, will bo.
equally willing to substitute a Woman's Rights
bill lor the Civil Rights bill. Jf so, we will guar
antee them against another veto. What says

fiblc Stevens ? The protect would crouto many
n ore mi'bons ol new voters and bo much less
dangerous to the Republican party. Who will
move its adoption? Where is tho Reconstruc
tion Committee?
Is Ihe President Hound to Execute an
Unconstitutional Law ?
From the World.
This question is merely speculative as yet.
Considering how completely tho radicals are
checkmated iu the New Jersey Legislature, tho
chances are good that the" veto will be sustained.
Even if Ihe Civil Rights bill passes over the veto,
the question of its enforcement by the Presi
dent does not necessarily become practical. As
the bill is drawn, its execution depends mninly
on 1he judiciary. The swarms of new officers it
contemplates are not appointees of the Presi
dent, but of the various Circuit Courts. The
Courts ate to appoint us many Commhsioners as
they please; and these Commissioners, in turn,
can appoint as ninny persons as they please to
make arrests and execute their process. True.
the President is several times alluded to in the
bill; but the power it clothes him with are
merely permissive, not mandatory. lie "way"
empower person to execute the' act; "it shall
be laa-fur H r him to order the courts to hold
extra sessions at unusual places lor the trial ot
offenders; "it shf.ll be lawful'' lor him to employ
the army to enforce the provisions of tho act.
He has "the color of law to help him if be
ckcosm to exercise the power; but there is
nothing in the net to constrain bis choice.
Ihe bill might have been differently drawn.
I( might have run "The President shall ap
point, by and with the advice of the Senate,"
the new officers charged w ith the execution of
the law. If impeachments should follow from
its non-execution, the juiges of tho Circuit
Courts would be the culprits; the bill declaring
that "it shnll be their duty" (a form not merely
peim'ssive, but mandatory) to appoint the addi
tional Commissioners necessary. The question
ot impeaching the President cannot arise under
this bill, even if it should become a law.
But the ability to pass this bill over his veto
implies the ability to pass other unconstitu
tional laws, in like manner. When tu radicals
ieel sureol their power, other acts will be passed
requiring the co-operation of tho President in
their enforcement, against his sense of cpnotitu
tional obligation. What would bo his duty in
such a cafe is a grave question, which he must
decide lorghimself, if it should arise. Power to
pass laws over his veto is power enough to im
peach und depose htm; and us the radicals as
sume that a law is cjiistitutional iu passing it,
thev would also assume that it was constitu
tional in condemning the President tor its non
eutorcement. Under such circumstances, many
important and delicate questions would arise.
Ought the President to co-operate in a strategem
lor his removal, bv acting precisely as his oppo
nents would wish? Ought he, on the other
hand, to lend himself to break down the Consti
tution? Would such a revolutionary attempt to
put a compliant Republican hi his place justity
forcible resistance ?
01 these points, which are, as yet, merely
speculative, we will consider but one. Tho Pre
sident bfiDg sworn to "preservo, protect, and
deicnd the Constitution of tho United States,"
can be under no obligation to execute a law
clearly repugnant thereto. Tho Constitution
being the kiipreme law, all laws in contlict with
it are void, and should be disregarded or re
sisted, as tho case may requiro, But this prin
ciple can extend only to the action of the Execu
tive. The President can refuse to act under an
unconstitutional law; but he cannot interlere to
control the action or the Courts, who will enforce
it, or declare it unconstitutional, in the inde
pendent exercife ot their own judgment. If an
unconstitutional law declare penalties, and tho
Couits convict and pass sentence, the President
has no more power to dictate to the judges than
the judges to him. But alter sentence, complete
control ovev it belongs to the President by his
power to grant reprieves and pardons. Even
where the law is constitutional, he has this
authority, with no limit on its exercise but his
own discretion. In the euo of an unconstitu
tional law, he would be Instilled in cancelling
eveiy sentence by a pardon a prerogative with
w hieh neit hei the Legislative nor tho J tid ieial De
partment can interfere, as he derives it directly
Horn the Constitution.
.11 President Johnson should assert the inde
pendent rkht ot the Executive to judge for himself
of constitutional questions connected with his
own duties, he could adduce the authority of
tho to most eminent aud illustrious of his
Democratic predecessors Presidents Jefferson
and Jackson. The following exposition, by Jet
lerson, ct his views on the subject, is worth re
calling; it is from a letter to Judge Roane
"iMv construction ot the Constitution is very
(filler cut from what you quote. It is that each
department is truly independent ot the others.
aud lias an equal right to deei Ie lor itself what
is the meaning or the Constitution in the cases
submitted lo its action; and cspeciullv when it
is 10 act ultimately and w ithout appeal. 1 will
explain myself by examples, which, having
occurred while I was m ollice, aro better Known
to me, and tho principles which governed them
"A legislature had passed the Sedition law.
The Federal courts had subjected certain indi
viduals to its penaltie?of flue aud imprisonment.
On coming into office, 1 released these indi
viduals by the power of pardon committed to
Executive discretion, which could never bp more
appiopriHttIv exercised than when citizens wero
Buttering without the authority of law, or. which
waseouivalent. under a law unauthorized bv the
Con' titution, and therefore 'null. In the case of
Mnibury nud Madison, the Federal judges de
clared that commissions signed anl sealed by tho
Prtsident were valid, although not delivered. I
deemed delivery es'-entiul to eouiplete a deed,
which as long as it remains iu the hands of tho
party is, as yet, no deed, and I withheld
the delivery ot the commissions. They
cannot issue a mandamus to the President
or the Legislature, or to any of their officers.
When the British treaty ol . arrived, without
any provision agaiust the Impressment of our
seamen, I determined not to ratify it. The
Senate thought I should ask their advice,
thought thut would be a mockery of them, when
1 was predetermined agaiut following it, should
they advise its ratification. The Constitution
bad made their advice necpssary to confirm
treaty, but not to reject it. This has been blamed
by some, but I have never doubted its sound
uiss. In the caies ol two persons ante-nati,
under exactly similar circumstances, the Federal
Court determined that one of them (Duane) was
not a citizen; the House ot Representatives
nevertheless determined that tho othor (Smith
oi boutu Carolina) was a cuueu; aud uduiiue
lilm to a sent in fbeir body. Duano was a Ro
pi.bllcHn and Smith a Federalist, and these de
cisions were made during the Federal ascen
dancy. "'lhce are examples of my position, that each
of ihe three departments has equally the riaht
to decide tor itself what is It duty under tho
Constitution, without icgsrd to whnt the others
