Knee the Issue. I'rom Hit Tribune. The Constitutional amendment now awaiting ratification by the States was matured and passed, bUiO Republican majority in Congrosa. No Dttnocrat iaTored It In committee J no Demo crat Tole for it In eltLer'IIouaer" Johnson and Johrworjifltu would have beaten it. i they could. Had they been able to control one-third of the vote in either House, they would liavo beaten it; in every State Legislature which has acted on it thus far,, they, to a uiau, have fought it. Up to this hour . they have unanimously done lheir worst to defeat it. 1 The Constitutional amendment has thus boon made by them the main issue ia the presunt canvass. It "need not havo been hadtbeynot chosen to have it so. It is a party issue because they as a party oppose and peek to defeat it. liowf - I. They assert that. the Republicans have not proposed it in pood taith. In their view scores of Mich' men as Will fid Pitt' Fessenden, Henry Wilson, John Sherman,' Lyman Trumbull, Timothy O. Howe, etc., are tricksters and cheat", who spent months in devising an amend ment to the Constitution-which the South would not accept, yet which the North would conciiier fair, so as (in their phrase) to "per petuate disunion.1 - We do not deem this deserving an answer. They wko really snpoose that eminent states men 'are simply sharper of a low prude will coutftnie in this fnUb, whatever maybe said to the contrary. They are to be. not convinced, but pitied. . But those who mislead them know better.' ' II. 'They assert that there Is no certainty that the States lately in revolt have no assurance that their representatives will be admitted to seats in Congress if they should ratify the amendment. , In ' a certain sense, that is true. We can imagine a fashion of ratification that would not insure instant admission to Congress. A State might 'ratity with palpable intent to have the amendment engrafted on the Constitution, but in order to' acquire power to defeat it. But if any Bute shall lu pood faith ratify it,1 accepting it as a settlement of t ho chie.r matters in dis puteand doing its best to have it generally ratified and.. acquiesced in, then we presume that Hlale will - be treated exactly as Tennessee las already been. She ratified it, and was fully represented m both Houses of Congress within the ensuing week. Why is not that reasonable celerity ? ' ... III. They proclaim that, whether with or "without good reason, the Southern States will not ratify. . . . Wo answer that this assumption is at war with reason and- probability. The-e States easerly desird readmission to Couarcss. . The loyal States, through Congress, have proposed terms "which the impartial must (and. do) pronounce lair and liberal. Tne judgment of the country approves them. If, now, the South should vir tually say, lwo will not ratify, we prefer to stay ut;" public opinion would respond, "Stay out, then; we can stand it as long as you can." Tbe South will find ttiis a losing business, and back out of it uneracefully. She will prefer to keep oot, that Is, to-rattfy and come in. The proofs of this already afforded are decisive. Tbe Northern Copperheads saw fit to fight the amendment desperately in Congress. They made it the main issue in the ' present canvass. Yet, after having so made it, they are clearly afraid to meet it. They bolt : the amendment, because it precludes giving 1 a South Carolina Rebel double the power id our Union that is accorded to a New England republican; vet they do not dare to tight it on thid ground. Nor do tbey like to stand up and argue that the Rebels have the same rinht .to enter Congress to-morrow as if tbey had never sought, to de stroy the Union. The loyal heart of the nation non-concurs. They are compelled, thereiore, to shuffle out of an issue ot their own raising, and to try to prove that the radicals do not mean what they say that Congress spent months in framing a Constitutional amendment on purpose to have it defeated and that the Tuckerton Whistle or Pendleton Gas-Bag is the authoritative organ of the Republican party, and not its National Committee nor its leading journals. ,It in a desperate: undertaking; but what else can they do if -a The. Constitutional Amendment In the South. from the Herald. We nave before us, in a Mississippi paper, a letter from the late Provisional Governor Sharkey, now one ot the United States Senators elect from said Btate, as ' reconstructed, in the absence of Congress, under the conditions Im posed by President Johnson. In this letter, dated Wathington city, September 17, and ad dressed to Governor Humphreys, the writer Bavs: !'The publio prints inform me that our Legislature is to be convened in extra session on the 15th bt October," ani that "tbe proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States as a fourteenth article may possibly be submitted to the Legislature lor its adoption or rejection." Mr. Sharkey then proceeds to give his opinions on tbe. amendment, involving a number of objections, ot which the lirst will serve our present purpose. . 1 He says: "in the first place, I do not believe the amendment was recommended by two thirds of the Congress of tbe United States," that "the constitutional House of Representa tives consists of members chosen by the people of tbe several States, and tiie Senate con sists of two Senators from each State," and that "it is very clear that a bdy not so composed or, in other words, where a considerable num ber of States are excluded from representation in both branches is not the Congress ot the United States." Now, we have to, de clare it as our deliberate opinion tbat a more revolutionary proposition that this never entered into the head ot any ot the leaders of the late Rebellion; that if Mr. Shar key is right, we have had no Government of the United States during the last live years, nothing better than an unconstitutional Congress or two, all the acts of which are null aud void Tn this extremitv the objection of Mr. Sharkev will carry bim; but he flualiflos it by saylug that 'when the Southern States adopted the amend ment abolishing slavery tbe state of things was very different. They had not elected or sent members to the Coneress which recommended that amendment. But when this amendment was proposed they had elected members who ap peared at the' proper time aud demanded to be admitted, but were rejected. We are not, there lore," he says, "to be told that we have recog nized this as a constitutional Congress." This does not mend the matter; loritabollsbes the Thirty-ninth Congress aud puts the lately rebellious states into tutu very uubuuuik yuai tion that, having gone out to loin in an armod conspiracy to overthrow the Government, and having been reduced, after a four years' war, to tbe alternative of lajlng down their arms, they are all right again, aud Congress can do nothing till they are restored to their seats. This is tho chop logic of Mr. Sharkey. It has the true ring of the old State Right nullification and seces sion theories of South Carolina bofore the war, and no man uttering such doctrines at this dav is fit to represent any State in Congress, for he does not recosrnlze tbe issues that have been settled by the late war for the Uuion. It has been settled by tbo war that secession Is a fallacy; that State sovereignty is a fallacy; that a State has no right to secede; that the States concerned in the late Rebellion are sub ject to its consequence, including the abolition of slavery, the repudiate of all the debts and vbligaUons incurred by them in the Rebellion, and to such other conditions of restoration as the Congress aahering to the Government of the United Htatcs in the war may think tit to Impose. President Johnson, acting upon these tixei facts, undertook his work of Southern recon struction. To his Provisional Governor Sharkey (this same Sharkey), of Mississippi, on tho 20th of July last, tho President, tbroueh Air. Howard, addressed a telegram embracing these words: "Tho President sees no reason to interfere with General Mooum's proceedings. Tho Government of the State will be provisional only until the civil authorities shall bo restored with the ap proval of Congress." Aealn, on the 12th of September, 1n a despatch to Provisional Governor Marvin, of Florida, the President says, through the Secretary of State, "It must be distinctly understood that the resto ration to which your proclamation refers will be Subject to the decision of Congress." This settles tbe question, for Congress Is the law making power of the United States, lloro ovor, ns tuis Thirty-ninth Congress stands oi0 cially recogr.izod by tho President as the Con pris of the United States, ils sovereign autho rity over this matter of southern restoration I placed beyond dispute. Tho case lies in a nut shell. The latelv reb-tlious States, dc jure, have never been out of the Uuion; but, de facto, they were carried out by their Rebellion, are out now (excepting Tennessee), and will remain out till rciuhtuted on the terms imposed . by Congress. ... Tennessee has been relnstnted on the terms laid down by Congress In the Constitutional amendment before tbe . country. President Johnson has thought tit to appeal from Conirresa to the people against this amendment. Here, as tvtnts have shown, he committed anunfor tuiiate mistake. We hope, however, that he will be guided by the verdict of the people in the1 approaching elections. KJ have no doubt as lo what that verdict will be. Falling in with the. overwhelming public sentiment of the North, he tnav still recover his lost ground In a hmt to tho Mississippi Legislature to lead off for this Constitutional amendment. A hint from Presl dent Johnson will suflice throughout the South apainst all the exploded State sovereignty theories of such unreconstructed Southern fol lowers of Rhctt, Mason, and Slldell, as Mr. Shsrkev. Otherwise, the best opportunity aud tho best terms lor restoration that the excluded States can ever obtain will bo lost, and with them will be lost the opportunity offered the Administration tor securing the balance of power In tfloneress. and in the reconstruction of par ties for the future. Restoration, power, and prosperity are offered with this amendment, while from its rejection delays, agitations, and tbe peri's of utter ruiu and couiusion awuit the excluded States. The National Debt Extensive I.liulcla- . tlou 1 u September. , From the Times. . " Secretary McCulloeh has just given lo the publio another most encouraging exhibit of the national indebtedness. The details show a net liquidation of $22,316,226 during tbe month of September; of $06,951,425 since June 1, 1866; and of $184,016,334 since August 1, 1865, when the debt was largest. The net indebtedness of the country August 1,1865. wa $2,757,253,276; October 1, 18ii, was $2,67.t.33ti.y4J; net liquida tion in lourceeu mouths, $183,016,334. . Thus it appears that the debt has been can celled at the monthly rate of over thirteen mil lions since August 1, 1865. It is quite confi dently anticipated that tuis rate of liquidation can be easily maintained until the public bur dens 3hall have been reduced to moderate pro portions, and until tbe legal privileges of premature redemption of too interest-bearing bonds and notes shall have been exhausted. Through the summer and early autumn of the current year, the progress of liquidation has feen very rapid, having averaged over twenty bour millions a month. The footings of the last three debt statements compare thus: , , , , AUK- 1. Bcpt 1. Oct. 1.

Met Indebted'! 2,633,99 Hi V dM.M.1) $! . Gratifying bead way is being made in funding the temporary obligations ot the Government, as a neces-ary preliminary to their prompt dis charge. Five-twenty bonds are steadily super seding the less manageable burdens,' such as Seven-thirty notes, tnus measurably relieving the Department from apprehended embarrass ment, and enabling it to make timely provision for the-claims of the national creditors by bring ing the debt as nearly as practicable, under ex isting authority, into a consolidated and ' con trollable form. More than eigbty-six millions of the Seven-thirty loan (orieirially $830,100.000. now reduced to $743,006,005) have thus been tiinded. The notes so provided lor. were nearly all ot the first series, maturing in August of the coming year. Hence, it seems that over a fourth of the notes of this series (originally amounting to $300,000,000) have been prematurely funded, lessening, to this extent, the inipendinsr calls on the Department for cash or bonds, according to the reserved rights of noteholders. The bulk of the series will doubtless bo as satisfactorily arranged for, ahead of maturity. Half of the temporary lean ha9 been cancelled during the month. It was as much as $15,536,000 ou the lstult.; it is now down tp $22,500,000. These are important gains for the Treasury. , Of the cash reserve of the Treasury, the coin portion shows a gain of nearly ten millions, and the currency share a decrease of less than fifteen millions within the month.' The actual figures are a3 follows: CASH 1H TREASDBV. . '. Sept, Oat I, I860.

The Great Scandal of the Age. . From the World. ' The statement made by Messrs. Reed, Tucker, and Ould, of the counsel of Jefferson Davis, dated the 2d, and published in the RicLmoud papers of the 4th inst., pluoej tho Chief Justice of the United States In a scandalous predica ment. In most criminal cases, it is the prisoner that skulks, and justlpe makes haste to prose cuto and sentence him. But in tbe case of Mr, Davis, It U tho Judge that skulks, while the prisoner prestos his petition for a trial. The statement of Mxj Davis' counsel is brlet recital of the manner in which they have been practised upon by the court, and led into making a tool's errand to Richmond. On tbe 5th of June, a formal session of the Circuit Court of the. United States was held at Rich mond, at which. Mr. Davis' counsel were profent, ready and anxious to proceed to trial. Instead of Indulging them In this reasonable wish, the presiding Judge adjourned the couit to the 2d of October, promising a trial of Mr. Davis at thatt!mc. The following Is tho lauauage then used lrom the bench: "The Chloi Just loo, who is expoctort to presldo at thi trua, lias named the firm luesdar oi October as the lime when it will be most convenioiit to bim. When this Couit adjourns it will adiourn, nt until the next term, wntch is in November, but nntd tbe first Tuesday in October next. Ttio motion of the District Attorney is therefore granted. This Court will adjourn, not until JSorombrr, bat until 'tho first Tuesday In October, which is pre ferred by tho ( hlet Justice and Attorney-iionoral. The care wid then, if hot before disposed of, be taken up." " Most certainly Judge Underwood did not ven tiirp to mtkc this promibe, in the name of the Chief Justice, without the Chief Justice's authority. Chief Justice Chase, then speaking from the bench, through the mouth of the Dis trict Judge, adjourned the court until the 2d of October, promising that the trial should then proceerl, and that he would be present to con duct it. How will he excuse himself for disap pointing the expectations of counsel, and keep, ing a prisoner, who has been eighteen mouths In close custody, still immutcd in prixou implor ing in vain to be confrontt-d with his accusers ? Why is justice thus refused and delayed by its sworn and paid minister? The following lan guage is copied from tbe Constitution of the United States! , "Iu all criminal prosecutions, tho accused shall enjoy the rinht to a speedy and public trial by an Impartial jury of the State and dis trict wherein the crime shall have been com mitted.'' . Judore -Chase, who is sworn to support the Constitution, aud paid to administer justice, is responsible lor the violation of this imperative direction which the Constitution gives to him. There can be no trial without a court, and how can there be courts if the judges decline to hold them? It is the duty of the Chief Justice to know tho law, for he is its most authoritative expounder. When he caused the court to be adjourned from June ts October, promising to be then present aud preside, lie must have known whether such an adjournment was regu lar, and whether his promise could be legally kept. It is for him to" iuform the country why it bus been violated. . in the great treason trial at the beginning ot this century, which was presided over by the most illustrious ot Chief Justice Chase's prede cessors, there was no ouch discreditable shrink ing liom the presence ot the ' prisoner. Burr hud been arrested in what is now tbe State of Missishippi in January, 1807; ai subjected to an exaniinuliou at Wauhinuton, the capital of the Territory, and detained in custody to be sent to the Federal capital. He escaped from cus tody, but was afterwards rearrested aud was immediately brought to K chmonci, where he ; arrived on the evening of the 26th of March, Now oo.-erve the dates. On tbe 30th he was brought beiorcChiei Justice Marshall, examined, aud committed. He was thu admitted to bil to ad the action of the srrand jury at tne next term of tlieCiicuit Court, on tue 22d of Miy. On the 24th of June, tbe grand jury, of which the colebruted Jobn Raudolph was foreman, brought in a bill ot indictment for treason, to whicb Burr pleaded not guilty, and the trial was postponed to the 3d ot August a delay no greater than was needed for the preparation of the ca?e. Thus prompt was Chief Juiice Chase's illustrious predecessor to discharge his constitu tional obligation to give the peraon charged with trcaon "'a spei'dy and public trial." In a case like this of Air. Davis, a -lay in the trial i denial of justice. It would seem as if the Chief Justice, aware of the feeble and waning health of the prisoner, is hoping that death may iutervene to relieve him from a disagreeable duty. Imprisonment pro'raced beyond neces sity is punishment; and if it ends tho da3 ot the prisoner, it Is the puui-uiuent of death. Punish meiit may properly follow the sentence, if Mr. Davis is convicted; but punishment previous to trial Is ir justice, and if it results in the death of the prisoner, it is murder. Nobody will dispute that to strangle bim in prison, without a tril, would be murder; aud if he is wilfully put to death by the slower processor conduement pro tracted witbout necessity, we do not see how the mode of its iutliciion can affect its moral character.
