Hiram McCullnugh, whoso majority ol over ;tii()o is strong enoueli to re-elect him. John L. Thomas, Jr.. vhort:)re9ents the Second District, was lor several ycirs United Mates Attorney tor lhiltlnioro, and iu the Con vention to amend the State Convention was an urgent advocate ot uncompensated emancipa tion. He is an industrious party leader, and will carry his dhti let. His opponent, Archer, lias always been in sympathy with the Itchcla; but backed by Collector Webster and the oMice holders appointed by the President, threatens to increase the Rebel' poll ot 1H6I. Joi-cph J. Stewart, the Union candidate In the district formerly lepreseuted by the lamented Henry Winter Davis, was a believer iu Dniilas'j doctrine, belore the war. but at the time of his nomination wiwremovca from theollieeof As e.'sor because of hostility to the President's ioliey. His opponent, Coloiiel Tlielps, wIki ii jiv leprcsei.ts the district, served with credit during the war, and was accounted a radical. In Con gress he voted for the appointment ot a con struction Committee, and in favor of the freed men'sbureau bill, and the Constitutional amend ment. 15ut he has since denounced these meas ures, and accepted the nomination of the Rebel conservative party, with a view of dividing the Union vote, which is m a majority of nearly SOUl). The Fourth District has an able and tearless representative in ex-liovernot Francis Thomas, who will undoubtedly be re-elected. In the Fifth District the political Esrypt id' Maryland the Democrats have a majority of more than 6000, which the nomination of .Mr. .Montgomery lilair will, if possible, destroy. The ultra Democrats declare they will not fuse with the conservatives.and already Ceneral Thomas F. Bqwie has been put lorth asan independent candi date. It is not yet definitely understood that Ifeujamln 0. Harris, the most' popular candidate among the Maryland Rebels, has ceased to be a competitor. Mr. Blair's opponent, William J. Albert, is a sincere and earnest radical, who possesses wealth, reputation, aud local popu larity. For the State Contiollership the candi dates are Colonel Unite, an ultra radical, who distinguished himself in several battles under (Jrant, and Colonel Leonard, who commanded Home Cuards, and threw down h's bloodless Hword in digust when President Lincoln de creed emancipation. In 1H04 the vote of Maryland for President stood 40,150 for Liucolu, aiid 32,733 for MeClel lan; and in the same year the majority in lavor ot the new Constitution was but 475 iu a wholo vote of 63,873. In lMJO the entire vote for Pre sident was 1)2.14:4; the Democratic majority 67,554. Taking the latter Bcures an esti mate ot the full vote of the fetate, both loyal and dWojal, a clear Rebel majonty is reckoned by the friends of Swautt and Blair, in case the registry law, dislrauchisinsr Rebels, can be etiectually disregarded at the polls. Governor Swann, in order to gam a seat in the U. K. JSenate, has, without BcruDle, advised the Rebels to perjure themselves by taking the registry oath, which, in common with Revcrdy Johnson and Montgomery Blair, he pronounces uncon stitutional. The registry lists, however, must pass the inspection ol judires sworn to exclude disloyalists; and though thousands of names have been added this year, the Rebels seem to be slow in following the pernicious counsel of the (iovernor of the State. Of the ten thousand added to the register in Baltimore, it is calcu lated that one-half are returned Union soldiers anil voters who neglected to register themselves nt the previous election. The Union men of Maryland have everything at stake in the contest this tall, and have entered the canvass with determined and tin nparintr effort. Should they Icce, the State will be recommitted to Rebel rule, aud the good work of the past four years will, as secessionists openly assert, be revolutionized. The prospect tu ruuu resuu, aioeu D.y me perna y ot swuuu and Blair, is a spur toreuewed zealj'and though the true men ol Maryland have to contend against the worst influences that can be brought to bear upou a people, they show a will and earnestness that cannot be finally overcome. Tlic Penalties of Rcbi-Ulou. from the World. Wc thought it was only Mr. Johnson who used the stultifying argument that the Rebel States should have a voice in determining the penalties of Rebellion, as if a criminal at tUe bar fchould also be a memoer of the jury. Tribune, The short sentence here cited contains, as iu a nutshell, the seminal fallacy by which the Republican party is misled. In liestowingr some care on its refutation, we do not expect to con vince zealots who, having determined, from partisan motives, to reduce the representation ot the South, seek ouly pretexts and care nothing for reasons. The deprivation of the South of a part of tne representatives to which the Constitution entitles it, is presented in the liuht of a judicial process tor punisniug the crime of Rebellion. Congress is likened to a jury sitting on the trial, aud the Tribune scoffs at the idea of the South, which it calls "a crimi nal at the bar," having a voice in the verdict. It is this lavorite idea of the Republican party, that Congress is engaged in the udmiuUtration ot criminal jubtice, which we expect to explode as an argument, however invulnerable it may be as a prejudice. - J Before probiua its m-riu, we will flist expose some ot its seli-eontradietious. If the curtail ment of Southern representation is a penalty tor rebellion, why is it to be iutlicted ou Mary land, Kentucky, and Missouri, States with a large negro population, which did not rebel? Leaving the Republicans to answer this ques tion as they can, we hasten to point out a trou blesome dilemma in w hich they are placed by their favorite idea of a criminal process airainst the Southern Slates. The criminal parties, they my, must not sit ou the jury to eivc a verdict iu their own case. Now, as it is not Coucress, but. the State Legislatures, tutu ratify or reject Con stitutional amendments, this idea oi excluding the Southern States from the jurv, carried to its logical consenucnces, must forbid them any voice ,iu the ratuicatiou. And yet tuey are called on to ratify. Here, then, is the dilemma: Eitherthe ratifi cations ot the non- .eceding States must be held feullicieflt, or else the Idea ot a criminal process luubt be given up. Congress, inthis proceeding, merely acts the part of a prosecutor; the jury bv w hieti it deeded consists of the States, if it is a "stultiiying absurdity" for the jury to be made up in part of the criminals on trial, Con gress has etultiiied itself by submitting the penal amendment to the Southern States for ratifica tion. What could bo more Btiiiildly self-stultl-lying than to say that the Southern States can not participate In proposing an amendment iu the same breath in which it is conceded that they have an equal voice in deciding whether it shall be adopted? How can they be, at the dame moment, d.squalitica for the inferior func tion and capable of the superior? But exposing an opponent's inconsistencies is tats ?i WVftlUv tisttsr t4 to VvUg iwJ L.P.LJI thfln to convince. Quitting, therefore, this meihort of attack, wc proceed to show that the disabilities sought to be indicted on the South as penalties ot rebellion contravene the esta blished principles of penal lusttce. The -most essential of these principles is, that parties and accusers shall not be pudges, as the North fianimcs to be in judging and punishing the South. It may be replied that this idea would subvert criminal Justice altogether, as the thief m it? lit use it as a plea against society, whfcli Is a judge In its own case in sending him to prison. This reply would be as sophistical as it is plausible. Society is not a judge in its own rase in trying and punishing a thief. It makes the law d'eclaiing the penalty belore the theit Is committed, and when it cannot be known whom the law will allect. It appoints a public nrosecutor. but it mves the accused the bene fit of counsel of equal ability lor his de'ense. Instead of allowing the neenser to appoint the jury, they are selected by lot, and not permitted to serve If they have previously formed an opinion of the case. To these pre cautions for preventing society from being a judge in its own case, Is added "the right of the prisoner to challenge as many ot the jurymen as he pleases, Jf he thinks they have a bias against him. To crown all, the trial is under the'direc lion of a judge whose tenure ol oflice and mode of compensation aie intended to render him as independent and impartial an umpire between society and criminal on trial, as he is between plaintilf and dele ndant in a civil suit. It is only in the most despotic Governments that society U a judge iu its own case in Hie prosecution of criiii.iials. The Vthole elaborate machinery of criminal jnr.spriidciiee in liee governments is contiived iorthc express purpose of preventing a mau'-s accusers, or any party interested neainst him, iroin being his judges. The law which oidains the penalty of his crime must have been enacted before' the crime was com mitted, never afterwards, became an ix post I'm to law coniounds judicial and legislative functions, and wakes society a judge iu its own cn?e. It is manifest, then. Hint the method adonted b the Republican party tor "determining tho lienaliies of rebellion," Is in plain vioia'ion ol every established principle of criminal justice. The law decreeing Ihe penultv is ex post facto: tne chief prosecutor is made th" judge; nnd the accused, being excluded from Congress, arc not permitted to up riearu in tneir own defense. To no ti led under niiex Mw-Zncfolaw. iudged bvtlie accusers, and denied a hearing iu dcicnse, is a combination of all the tyranny which it is pos sible tupiactise under the foriiisol neual justice. Congress, the 2r6i?(cn:uintains, is to be regarded in the light of a jury engaged in trying tne South for the crime ot rebellion. But vh n be fore did a jury ever assume indirect a change in the law. and dictate a penal tv which the law had not established? This "jury" insolently presumes to judge the law, aud condemn the law, and to domineer over the law as it does over the accused. Or if we couf ider Congress in its proper light ol a legislature, instead of a jury, it is itself in daring rebellion aeaiust the Constitution. The Constitution, in positive terms, iorLids Congress to pa's any ex po.s? facto law; that is, any law prescribing a different or p.rcater puuishmeut for any crime than was in force at the lime it was committed. But the present Congress not only defies aud violates this prohibition, but insists ou apenaltv which is fo extremely t'.r post facto that the Constitu tion itself must be altered belore it can be in flicted. The Constitution as it stands and the laws ns they have been enacted provide sufficiently lor the suppression ot a rebellion when it is in nr.i- gress, and for thctjpunishment of traitors after us ciose. congress, says tne Constitution, may declare the punishment, of treason: Cn has declared the punifhment of treason, and prescribed the method ot trial. All thi lmrtiri. pants in the late Rebellion, or as many of their leaders as the Government chose to proceed against, might have been tried, and, if con-' victed, sentenced to loss of property or to death. msicuu vi minding tuc legal penalties, the Government has chosen to lemit th"m. Con gress intended, or at least authorized this, bv i. ...... n i ,1.. 1 ! ... J iiirLLimn iu me law a provision rnai tne Presi dent might, "by proclamation or otherwi-e," aud on any conditions he judged proper, absolve the guilty by amnesty or pardon: which carries as complete an exemption lrom all future penalties or molestation as an acquittal by a jury. The rresiuent can ueituer revoke a pardon once given, nor can Congress by new hws ordaiu other penalties for a crime subsequent to its commission. The Government, therefore, has exhausted its penal authority in reference to the late Rebellion, except m relation to the very few unpardoned Rebels. This abstinence lrom enforcing the legal pen alties ot treason is frequently urged iu the Re publican journals as an arguuieet for the fair ness aud propriety of the ex post 'facto penalties now sought to be inflicted. Besides the fnfnl objections to this kiud of ollset founded on the principles of criminal justice, and the nrohibi- tions of the Constitution, it is repugnant to natu ral equitv in blending the innocent ami thn gniltyi n the same nndistinguisliing punishment. At least half of the Southern whites were lnvei p'ed into the Rebellion by the lies or forced iuto it by the threats of the secession leaders. Aterall the'agonies and losses they have suU'ered there is no faiiness in punishing them further for crimes not their own crimes of which they were not the perpetrators but the victims. Tlic C'oustlt utlounl Amendment aud the v' Sulli-Qgc ll'ii-stlou. AVom tfie Times. The Albany Evening Journal continues to in sist that the adoption of the Constitutional amendment will close the question of recon struction, and that further conditions of admis sion will not be imposed upou the Southern States. This may be so we trust It is. But as it is mainly a matter of opinion, dependent upon the future action of Congress, we do not care to discuss it further. ' All we have said on the subject has beeu that Congress is not pledged, by any direct action of its own, to the admis sion ot the Southern States upon the adoption ol the amendment; that, on the contrary, it re jected a bill inteuded thus to pledge it; and that some of its prominent leaders have already de clared their purpoc to insist upon further con ditions, and especially upou negro sui) rage, as essential to admission. The Journal insists thnt the peopl will de mand immediate restoration ot the Union by the admission of the Southern Slates, upon the adop tion of the amendment. We think so too, and we hope this demand will not be thwarted or evaded by the advocates of more stringent and less reasonable measures. We bold, in common with the Journal, that the suffrage question belongs exclusively to the States, and that Congress has no right to compel any State to allow negroes, aliens, or anv other class ot its inhabitants to vote. This is among the powers expressly reserved to tie States by the (.imsutution; and if that instrument is sliil ,.i f,,V,meme ,uw,t l'c land, Congress has no Tin ? ns2Verr,df or owrrulr this provis'on. Regulation?1" 'l,1C8tlou ms bo left to -State Our own opinion is that the Southern States If It'ltto the iree operati-.u ot the influe ces" which always contiol political results wfll themselves extend the suffrage to thX colored population. It will beeo.neheir interest o So so-mdeed, it will very speedily become neces sary .o t heir peace, and to the preservation ot those friendly relations between the two races upon which the welfare oi both must hereafter de pend. While slavery existed peace was main, tallied by loree. The iipms had no ri"hts no place in Southern society, no consideration or li.llucnco whatever. This is all changed. Thev are no longer chattels they are pcron The y have rights, and thoB0 rights must and will lje recognized and protected. They have all the rights of free men-the n-bt to sue aud be sued tlio right to earn and receive wane, to make contracts, to hold real eftate, to hold meetings to discuss public questious, to bear arms to petition for a redress of grievances. The en joyment and exercise of these rights gives them power makes them Important elements oi civil and political society; and just as fast as thev become qualiiiod tor the exercise ot political power, they Mill find or lorco their admission - G - -TLEGKA1?1--"-J1 TUESDAY,OCTOBER 2, 18GG. Few persons, we presume,'.- end that the great mass of the negroes of tcj South arc now competent to vote with a wise and considerate regard lor the public. good. Some of them are, but the rfuniber.li comparatively mall. As they become nscd to taking care of themselves as they become thrifty, intelligent, and ron nciousof their new responsibilities, they ought to be arid will be admitted to the exercise of political power for ail cl isses of the Southern people will be equally interested In this result. Besides this general cause operating steadily to secure negro suflracre at the South, we shall soon have another. As soon as the Union is restored, and political activity renewed, the contending patties in the South will ncd and eek the nero vote-jut as they seek the foreign vote in the North. Thi f- oi,o nowr rlul motive for the extension of the sutl rage. , No prejudice can stand against it, and it often utemucN tne founoest and most weigety argu ments. We have the germ of such parties al ready existing in the South. Just as soon a' pressure from wiihont ran be removed, and the South can bo left free to canvass its own Inte rests, and to act from its own Impulse, we shall see in every State rival parties contending for power the party of progress struggling with the party of reaction a party for home manu factures and a party for free trade a parly for internal improvements and a party against them; all the elements of sharp party divisions exist in the Southern Stale?, and will 'bo rapidly developed into full activity just so soon as thev are lelt free to attend to their home nll'airs. And we shall then find the negro playing just ns impoitant a part in tne politics of the Southern states as the immigrant now plavs in the Northern, and with substantially ' the same results. The extirpation of slavery has struck a death blow at flic mere prejudice, based on race or color, which has hitherto excluded the negro from political and civil rights. It may not die instantly, but it will very speedily lose its com manding power, and yield, like all other mere prejudices, to the force of reason and the en lightened and liberal spirit ot the age. The colored race may not, be at once admitted to the right of sutiiage, but it will not be, as it has been Hitherto, solely ' or mainly ou account of its race or color, but because slaverv, and the prejudices which had their root in shivery, have deprived that race of the means and opportu nities of becoming qualified for the eorcise of political power. When that obstacle is removed, its admission will be prompt and easy. Our ForciffnltclntlouM nnd Our Financial System. rrom the Hi raid. X- have the information from Wash lupion that tl.e ofiiciiil .statement ot the public debt will be iss-urd on the 5th of October, that it will show a considerable reduction of the debt, and that the com balance has increased to the same extent that it did during August, namely, about fifteen millions. Other lacts are alio mentioned, show ing a healthy condition of the Treasury, and that, all things considered, we arc getting along under Mr. McCulloch's financial tactics a? well as could be expected. According to his monthly report of September, there was a uet reduction of the public debt for the month of August last of $37,410,108, a reduction since the 1st of June last of $741G0.",H)0, and since August, 18G5, when the debt hail reached its highest, there has been a total reduction ol l;i.6i0.1l)H. At the rate of the last three months it is estimated that the whole debt can be paid olf in nine vears. an, I that at the average of the pastjear it can be settled in sixteen years. It is thus apparent that with the continuance of peace our national debt, which, at the close of the wai, w as accepted as a burden that would rest upon the shoulders of the people lor per haps a hundred jears to come, may be removed wiiLout any extraordinary euorts w ith in the next ten years. But here the Question recurs, if this thing may be achieved under the present loose anu iniiKcsnut, management or our national finances, and under our present heavy aud waste- iui system oi internal taxations and tax collec tions, could not the same result, under some easy reforms, bo reached as soon, while lighten ing at the same time our general scneduleof taxations, internal and external? It is to the solution of this question that w; would now in vite the tpecial attention of President Johnson. He has it now within uis power, b.y carefully digested measures of reform and retrenchment in expenditures and in taxes and in the manage ment of the national Treasury, to open the way for the pajment of our national debt within tittecn j ears, with a reduction of our taxes as we po on, beginning say at twenty per cent., and still cutting them down from year to year till they ieach the stai.dard of a peace establish ment, relieved of debt, iutere.-d, and principal. Sotr ethmg is due to that great body of the people who have borne the immediate burdens of the war, and the lessening of their present taxations especially on the necessaries of life, 11, ay be prufllablv undertaken, oven iu view of some extension of the time when, from the pre Btnt rate of the quarterly or yearly surplus of the Treasury, the whole burden of our national debt will be removed. In this view a recon biruction bill reported from the Committee of Fifteen at the last session ot Congress, giving to the lately rebellious States a margin of ten years for the pajment of their proportion of this debt, would be a good thing; lor in ope rating to the rapid development ot the Industry aud commercial products of the South, this measure would in every way operate to strengthen the hands of the North and to in crease the resources of the Treasury. This bill, as a part ot the reconstruction plan of Congress, should not be overlooked by the South.' Let them come in at once under the amendment, and they will get their ten vears' credit; lor this Congress, after proposing tins inducement, can not safely deny it. But leaving the reconstruction plan of Con gress to take its course, we would urge upou President Johnson the financial reforms and retrenchments suggested as atl'ording him a broad field lor the greatest results to his Ad ministration and the country. We have from time to time indicated some ol the specific measures of ieloim called for, iuciudii.g the saving ol the item of twenty-five or thirty mil lions now absoibed in the perquisites of the rutioiial banks. Then, again, the boundless re.-otirccs of the Government mineral iauds of our new States and Territories from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific, in some way, not to the piejudice of miners and settlers, but to their advantage, might be made to relieve ma terially the burden ot taxes of every taxpayer in the land. In till tlieae suggestions there is a held k r such an executive message to Congress in December as will electrify tue country with a new inspiration of confidence iu President Johnson. Equally inviting and not less to the credit and glot.y of hi Adiimiu-trutiou, is ihe policy sug gested m the preseut stale of things touching our relations with Engluud, Franee, und Spain, Mexico, and the South American States; indem nifies lor Anglo-Rebel spoliation on our coin uierce dining our late civil war, the Monroe dci-iiine, iu Its broad and comprehensive appli cation; n stable republican Government fur Mexico, with tlie a-sisfance of the United States; a system looking to the enlargement of our com uif refill exchanges evert where, arid especially with the independent States of this continent, are subjects w hich mav well command Hie prompt and tamest attention of President Johnson, us amorg the practical measures ot his foreign pol ey. .iu tje broad, inviting fields of our niiai.cialfsvstein, and our foreign atlair. he may 1'ot..l l.y recover the ground he hau lost in his eoiiiiict with Congress on Southern restorutn uut n.ake his administration one of the most J- ckscn UUJ pl)ulur 81uce ,he timc of Andrew 11 Tfn TlTn T linis uiil'-lt Ali 11 FICIAIj r;: "1 '""Tj '.?.
