Do the Dcmociata Indorse President
Johnson's Reconstruction Policy ?
W notice that the Democrats, in thoir various
conventions throughout the country, are making
haste to avow their support of the policy of
President Johnson with reference to the re
storation of the Rebel States. We advise our
eafrer Democratic brethren to fto a little slow in
this matter. In their hurry they may indorse
too much.
The restoration policy of President Johnson,
so far as carried out, rests upon precisely the
same ultimate principles as that of Congress.
The only difference is as to details not as to
principles. It is a question of degree not of
kind.
A little review of the history of this recon
struction business -will fully substantiate our
declarations. Whpn, by the overthrow of the
Rebel armies, the strife ot arms had ceased, what
was the aotual political condition of the South ?
It was this: In each State there waB a State
Government, with its full array of officers, execu
tive, legislative, and lu.lieial, in full and undis
puted operation. (We leave out of the account
the two or three States where there was a sort
of divided Government, as in Louisiana, etc.)
These Governments had come down in regular
and unbroken succession from the old Govern
nionte of these Slates while in the Union. Tup
Rebellion had made no bnak iu the cbvtin of
continuous State existence. Eai h State Govern
ment had grown regularly out of its predecesior.
Moreover, these Governments were the choice,
the undoubted choice, of the people. Nobody
denies that. Still furihpr, they were the only
State Governments within thoe Slates. It thoy
were not legal and valid Governments, then those
States had none al ali. . They were the regular
successors of the previous Governments: they
were the choice of the people; they were in
actual operation: and they bad no competitors.
It is difficult to perceive how the case could be
made stronger.
Now, the Democratic theory is, that these
State Governments in the Rebel States, al the
close of the war, were loylil, valid, and constitu
tional the true, as well as only, governments
there. The Democratic theory of the political
effects of the war demands thU conclusion. For,
if thete were not the lest! and valid governments
of those States, then they had none ; the a their
governments had lapsed, ml they had bacome
mere unorganized communities.
Now, what was President Johnson's view of
the matter? Did he go to work upon this
Democrat Jo theory ? Was this the principle upon
whioh he commenced the scheme of reconstruc
tion T By no means. He went to work upon
exactly the opposite theory. He looked upon
those Rebel State governments as mere usurpa
tions, possessed of no legal or rightful authority
whatever. In cutting themselves loose from the
Union, by their own free and voljntary action,
and in wasiog war in their corporate capacity
upon the Union, they ha 3 ceased to have any
constitutional existence, and were the mere
organs of Rebellion and revolution. Accord
ingly, be at once overthrew them in toto. Not a
vestige did be leave of these governments, from
overnonf legislatures, . and judges, down to
magistrates, constables, and path masters. He
swept them completely out of existence. In
vain did they plead State rights. In vain did
they urge that they were still in the Union. In
vain did they contend that Rebellion could not ,
take any State out. of the Union. In vain did
they urge any or all of the pleas which the
present Democratic theory of their status author
ized them to urge. The President was Inexorable.
They were mere Rebel organizations, having no
valid or constitutional existence, and out of
being they must go ; and out of being they did
go. Bven in the Amnesty Proclamation the
President specially excluded from its benetits
" all persons who held the pretended offices of
Governors of State in Insurrection." The Infer
ence la Irresistible tha, In the President's view,
during the whole war, the Rebel States wore
without valid and constitutional governments.
And this is precisely the view of Congress and
the Union party. ,
The first step In the process of reconstruction
being to overthrow the unconstitutional Rebel
governments, the next step was to organize
something in their stead. This was done accord
ing to a certain programme laid down by the
President and executed by his agents. It was
new work from the bottom. And now, lust here,
did tbe President take the. ground that these
States, as soon as reorganized, were entitled to
unconditional admission into the Union? By
no means. He Insisted that certain conditions
precedent must be performed by them before he
would recognize them as entitled to admission.
And here, too, the principle underlying Ws action
and that of Congress Is identical. Each impose)
certain conditions precedent to their admission.
It la only a question of particulars. The Presi
dent says, you must do one thing; Congress,
you mubt not oaly do that, but a little more.
The President imposes those conditions which
he thinks the safety of the country demands.
Congrero Imposes such conditions a it thinks
tbe saloty of the country demands. Each goes
upon (be principle that tome conditions may be
constitutionally demanded.
Hence, we repeat the admonition to our
Democratic brethren with which we started out,
that In Indorsing President Johnson they may
find that they are edorlng too much. The
principle of his reconstruction policy, as carried
out by him, axe identical with those of Congress
lib Vb8 Union party. It is merely a difference
IgK-PAftyXjra
of (udgment as to wlMt conditions ought to be
imposed upon the Rebel States before they are
allowed to participate In the government of the
country.
Pennsylvania Delegates to the August
Convention.
Tbb Convention which is to as-emble in our oliv
on the 14th of August was called at the instance
of what was termed Conservative Union men,
with tbe declared purpose of being composed of
all parties who favored tbe Presidential plan tit
reconstruction. It was not designed, as we
understand it, by lis originators, to bo a resur
rection of the dead carcass of Democracy. Its
delegates were not to be selected from the sup
porters of the Chicago platlorm, but it was
designed to harmonize the conservative Repub
lican element, to make it tbe centre around
which micta Pemocrals as were pleaded could
cluster to make them the accessories and the
Johnson Republicans the nucleus. Such, at
least, was tlieavowed intention ef the organizers
of tho Convention.
It would seem, however, that In our own
Mate, at least, the Democracy iniend to
monopolize the whole airair, and leave the
Johnson men out in the cold. The Slato Cen
tral Committee of that party have coolly ap
pointed delegates for the entire State, without
giving the people a chance lo chooso their can
didates, or allowing the conservative Rop ib
licans to have any voico in the matter. It is
pertictly consistent with tbat misnamed organi
zation to take all power out of the hands of toe
n. asses, and exercise it in a small and select
coterie ol leaders. The people are rewarded lor
yielding all their vital poer by being given
soft phrnscs; and addressed as "gentlemen,"
"sovereigns," and the Hkc. They get a shadow
in exchargo for a substance. In this case the
usurpation is complete. j
True, it is glossed over with excuses in regard
to want of time for diwtrict elections. The cull
was out In tho early part ot the month, and cer
tainly eix weeks is enough to hold elections, If
the leaders desired the election should be heid. Bat
such was tot their wish, and the consequence is
that the delegates are appointed. All of the
gentlemen selected' are well known in the
Democratic ranks. They have chosen from
our city, G. M. Wharton, Colonel Pat
terson, Richard Vaux, Judge Levis, and
"190" Brown, all Democrats of the most virulent
party stamp, and are of a character not to join
any coalition, unless the Convention join with
tho Democrats,, and not Dcmociats with the
Convention.
The Riches of .Railroad Stock.
The desire to invest in railroad stock is eapily
explained by reference to the returns made
during the past year by the leading roads In
the country. According to the latest annual
reports of thirty. seven of the principal railways
of the Eastern, Western, and Middle Hates, two
paid dividends of thirty-live per cent. last year,
one of thirty per cent., one of fifteen per cent.,
two of twelve per cent., thirteen of ten per cent.,
three of nine per cent., one of eight and a half
per cent, two of eight per cent, two of six per
cent, one cf five per cent., and two of three
and a;half per cent. Only seven omitted divi
dends. The entire profits of the thirty-seven
roads amounted to $56,096,670. The earnings,
expenses, ana dividends are in the aggregate
for the last fiscal year, of those of most interest
to our readers, as follows:

Tbe New Kansas Senator.
Governor Crawford, of Kansas, has appointed
Major E. G. Ross, of Lawrence, to till the
vacancy in the United States Senate caused by
the suicide of the late Senator James II. Lane
Major Ross is one ol the early settlors of Kansas)
and for a long time, in company with his
brother, W. V7. Ross, Esq., was connectod with
the press in, Kansas, founding first the Tribune,
and afterwards the b'taXjfiecord, both at Topeka
He has held several minor offices in the State.
During the war be was connected with the
11th Kansas Volunteers, and proved himself an
efficient and valuable officer. Upon the close of
the war he became connected with a paper at
Lawrence.
Major Ross is an original and radical Republi
can. Ills vote will be found uniformly on the
right side. i
Well Put. Governor O. 8. Morton, of In
diana, at a recent meeting held at New Albany
in that State, made a speech in favor of the
Amendment and the Republican purty, In which
he well described the attuude of the Democracy,
and pointed out the position in which that party
at present stands. Ia a few words he does away
with all their sophistry in regard to the Irre
sponsibility of the Demooracy so lar as high
taxes are concerned: i
"As to the i Union, there would be nona if
the Democratic party of the North had not
teeen defeated at the polls, and the Democratic
party of the South had not been deleated upon
the field ot battle, every Democratic orator
and newspaper aeronizes upon the subject ot high
taxes. Tuey dwell pathetically upon tbe op
pression ol the people, and pretend to thank
God that the Democratic party bas no responsi
bility in the matter. But, how stands the
great fact? These high taxes, one and all, were
levied by the Democratic party. Tuit party is
the author and creator, absolutely, oi the great
debt which now rest upou the country, not,
indeed, by direct legislation, but by bringing
upou the. country the terrible necessities
out of which it has grown. Had It not boen
lor the assurances given by the Demooratio
party of the North to the people of the South,
that no resltanee would bs olfered to secession,
and that the Government and the people of the
North would be hold still while tbe work of
establishing a Southern Confederacy should be
perfected, the Rebellion never would have bsen
undertaken. When a Democratic politician
come around you clamoring about hfh taxes,
you can turn to him and say, as Nathan did to
David, Tbou are the man.' The encourage
ment you gave to Rebels first levied these taxes.
The assistance you gave to rebellion continued
them, and the persistent and devilish malice
with which you traduced the Government, tne
army, and the -treat cause lor which we strug
gled, swelled them to what tbeyare; and now
you go abmt as public disturbers, by falsely
ascribing to others the direct consequence of
jour owu wickedness." , , . -

Suicide of a Wail Street Broker.

a young man twenty years ot are, ol respec la

committed suicide yesterday by shoottna- him
self through the heart and lungs with a seven
barrelled revolver, at halt-past lour o'cIock

tery prounds at ached to the First Presbyterian
Church, ot which deceased was a memoer, and
has been a regular attendant lor years.
He was not laboring under Any observable
mental deranereuirnt at the time of the occur
rence, bavin? arrived in the half past 3 o'clock
P. M. train Irora New York, in company with
some ladies (relatives), whom, alter leaving the
train, be placed in a carriage, saying he would
walk along. He immediately pioce-ded to the
cemetery, which is situated on the Main street,
entered the grounds, and when about a hun
dred yards Irom the Bate, on a grassy mound, at
once shot himself, no was seen by two little
gris at play in the cemetery, who gnve tbe
alarm to a man at work near by: but he was
dead before the leborer reached him. Three
balls entered the left lung, and two others-at
one orioce the upper auricle of the heart,
causing almost instantaneous death. He dis
charged five barrels of the pistol.
An inquest was held, but no pocket-book or
Eapers ol any kind were found on the body;
