KDIDAY, PECEMPER 7, 18G0. The True Point at Issue. 'iu-i Age, In discussing Mr. Sumncr'a rccon 8ii m Hon resolutions, says : 4 iiif bar in the way of this proportion is tlii Jmst, Maicd bv the I'residpiit, and nrgo.l in our ioli i.nis more than one1, that Governments u.it ,u all the. Southern iilntes, and hence Cmi btcww lins nntb;ii? .lo do with reconstruction, exm-l to allow the people representation." The lucstlon Is not whether "Governments ciht in. the Southern States," but whether those Governments are loyal, valid constitu tional Governments, and "republican In form." And the Constitution, In imposing upon Congress the duty of guaranteeing to every State a republican form of govern ment, necessarily clothes that body wl.h the power of deciding wliat are and wbat are not republican forms of government. State Governments existed In all the Soutl.ern States at the close of the Re bellion, but tbey were Rebel State Gov ernments, and President Jobnson over threw them. The Age, we believe, en dorses that action of the President, and in doing so of course concedes that the mere existence of State Governments in the South ern States does not determine the rightful ness of their existence, much less the justice of their c'alm to share political power in the government of the Union. That the present organizations called State Governments, in the territories of the late Rebel States, are utterly illegal, fraudulent, Bind unconstitu tional, we deem to be susceptible of the clearest proof. That they are not republican in forni is equally evident. That they are composed of persons lately in rebellion, and are as throughly Rebel in character as were those oveithrown by President Johnson in April, 1805, hardly adtrts of a doubt. Congress, therefore, in interfering with these illegal and usurping organizations, will be but following out the strict letter of the Constitution, while it will also remove what 8 now the chief obstacle to the peace and piogn es of the country. Xew Oi leans Massacre to be Ventilated. No mobe disgracolul page of American his tory will ever be written than that which rhall truthfully detail all the facts in regard to the New Orleans massacre. It will be remembered that the President, in his noto rious St. Louis speech lint summer, distinctly charged the responsibility of that affa'r upon tie Congress of thi. United States. The intercuts of justice require that that bloody massacre shall be investigated, and all the firts connect d witli it ba placed beiore I i.e public. We are, therelore, glad to see tUat the House of Representatives yester day adopted the following resolution. It is .said that the Committee will proceed to Sew Orleans next Monday to commence its wpik: "Jietoived, That a committee of three members 1h appointed hy the Spenser, whoie d ltv (.hall bo to pr cecd, without unnecessary delay, tj New OrlraiiP. in tbe State of Lt t'slana, to intko an investigation into all in a' tor j connected wiiti tbe reei)t bloody riots iu tint city, which too. place on (he 31nt o' July and the 1st of Augim, JhGC, and particularly to inquire luto tbe origin, pi Krees. and termination ot the riotous pro-ccediDR-; fhe names ol tbe parties enynirad i:i li;the aets of atrocity p-TpUU'd; ihenirnojr of kiiled and wounde?; the charact r and amouut ot property destroyed, and whatiier aa I to abatement thbfo acts were pirtic puted in rw member' of '.he organization claiming to bj the 0 .eruuient of L mi'hiin, and report all the the. s to ihe llotise; and the Seraeamt-ut- inns, or li s depuu, and tbe stenographer of the Hoil, aie directed to acooir.pHnv the said Committee, tmu Hint all tbe expense-, of this investcition l e vad outot ibe coutingent fund of the House; the Comm. ttee to have power to send for poi sons and papers and examine witnesses under oath; also to appoint a clerk, and to rpport suoh legislative action as may be requisite, in view of the condition oi aftairs in tbe State of Louisiana." No Presidential Re-elections. The motion of the Hon. B. F. Wade, to so amend the Constitution as to render the President ineligible to re-election, seems to us eminently proper. By sucl an alteratioa of tbe supreme law oi our land many ot the evils which aie now incident to the general administration would be obviated. The occu pant of the Executive chair, under the pre sent system, consumes his term of office with the exertions to secure his re-election. All his actions tend toward? that result. All that would be likely to injure his popularity is carefully refrained from, and the admistra tion of government becomes rather the means of personal advancement than the exponent of justice. If, however, be must be satisfied with the honor once accorded blm, and bis office close when tb four years bave elapsed, the great incentive to a sacri fice of right for popularity would be with drawn, and the result would be a marked mprovement in the policy of the Executive. While, therefore, much good would probably result from this change, we expose ourselves to uae 188 ut l'1''0 6' The only argument that caa De advanced for the eligibility ?f tne President is, that when we get a good oflW er we Bnoula' retain him. But then all the bad one9 deB're tne honor, and exactly in proportion ,t0 the,r worthlessness j will they ufe the power o." tho Government, j to ftid their personal umbitiou. " 18 hest that the good be limited as well a tlie bd, for better to be deprived of one faithful" ser vant than expoe ourselves to the corrup tions which many faithless ones would attempt. We hope the amendment will twelve, the early sanction, of Congress. THE DxfLY EVENING TELEGKAPIL PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 18G6. The Appointments A Iteform Needed. Uon Lkonaui Mykba, oi this city, Intro duced yesterday in the House tho following very Important preamble and resolutions ' Whereon, Under the; Constitution of thi United States the President of tho United States ban power to appoint oiI'icpm of tbe United Statei", whose appointments are established by law only by and with the advice an i consent of the Senate, except temporarily to till up vacan cies that may happen in the reoe of tbe Senate; and whereas. The present Chief MagUtrate, it is alleged, has, in numerous instaureg, failed to nominate Mich officers to the Senate for such advice and coi sent until Its session hid nearly clospd, and then, after rejection, reappointed them or designated others for their places, thus virtually exercising the eole power oi appoint ment; and whereas, Id uumerou other instances he ho?, it Is all' ped, appointed men to office, and allowed a session of the Senate to elapse without sending it their name for onQrma tion; and whereas, Uehai alo, it is allied, in numerous instances, during the recess of the Seiia'c, made op point men'. 9 to office where no vacancies bad happened or existed: b it 'hesolQcd, Tiiat tlic President of tb-i United States be and he ts hereby requested to cotn nuimca'e lo the Ilo.iw, ut as early a day us popsihle: "1. The names of all persons reappointed by him alter rejection by the Se-uate, or the names ol others appuiute I in the'.rstetd, with a deal imtit n ot tbe offices to which they were so appointed, and the dates of their several ap pointments and ot their nominations to tha Sen ate. "2. A like list and designation of all persons oppointcd by him whose names were withheld trom the Senate during its session. "3. A like list and designation of all appoint ments made by him during the recess of the Siiiate where no vaeaucy had happencl, and, if to till vacancies then a complete statement of how such vacancies occurred." We trust that, while Congress has this sub ject under consideration, it will introduce a thorough and radical reform into our whole system of public appointments. The practical carrying-out of the vicious maxim that " To the victors belong the spoils," has done more to aorrupt and degrade Ameri can politics, and to Injure the public service, than any. or all other causes com bined. The present id a favorable time for inaugurating a reform which shall go to tbe root of the matter. To be Investigated. Tnrc House of Representatives yesterday, on motion of Mr. Pike, of Maine, adopted a pre amble and resolution reciting that three United S ates soldiers were murdered in South Carolina on October C, under circum stances of pecul iar cruelty ; that several per sons were arrested, t'ied, and condemned by a military commission for eaid murder; that such persons were subsequently reprieved and sent to Fort Delaware, from which they were taken by habeas corpus and set free ; and resolving that a select committee of three be appointed by the Speaker to investigate the circums'ances attending the murder, and by Whose proCUiement tho reprieve and transfer were made, and the consideration for tbe same, and the reasons thereof, and all the fact connected therewith; the com mittee to have power to send lor persons and papers, examine witnesses under oath, and to report to the House such action as it may deem necessary. What gives especial interest to this matter is that it is charged that a present Cabinet officer, who was at that time practising law in Washington, received an enormous fee for using his personal influence with the Pre sident in ob a'nlng a reprieve for these scoundrels, who have Just been set tree. Democratic Gratitude to the President Mb. Le Blosd, a Democratic member of the House from Ohio, in discussing yesterday the bill providing for tho assembling of the For tieth and each succeeding Congress upon the 4th day ot March of the years in which the Congressional terms of office commenc e made tbe following allusions to the Presi dent : "I can se nothing but mischief in this whole system of legislation, an I I would much raibcr, 11 trentlcnieu are bo ng to legislate in tbat way, that they would at once make a bold strike, a no take the had of the Executive oif. (Ones 01 "ijood" and ''Let us understand the niituer." Laughter.) We have no interest iu the lisecu tne on this s de of the llou-e not tbe least.

Irue, whenever he ran into our line of policy, we wtio bound to sustain him; Out we never pretended to shoulder tnat which this radical party has put int power. To do V ould destroy an? party in the w o rid. (Roars of laughter. )"' Pride and Povcily Raleigh, N. C, December 6. Colonel Ltach, Chairman of the Committee on tbe Conti(u tionul Amendment, reported In the Stale Senate to-day adversely to tbe ratification of the amend ment. Both Houses of the Lieislature have resolved unanimously to accept the protFer ot assistance made by the Freedmen's Buieau to the destitute whites and blacks. Tbe pride of the chivalnc Southern heart is too great for it to submit to the degrada tion of adopting the Constitutional amend menta provision at once most magnanimous and just. But while we of course admire the hauteur which will refuse humility, yet it stiikes us, good, honest souls, that there is a slight inconsistency iu unanimously accept" ing Northern charity and feeding on North em alms, when they will not assent to any of the requests of tbe donors. Think how badly the North would feel, if both its amendment and its bread were to be re jected ! For tbe glory of pride, we hope that hereafter both Noithern aid and Northern proposition will be treated with scorn by our Southern neighbors. TnK law authorizing the payment ol loyal" slaveholder for their slaves who enlisted in the Union army, Is very likely to be repealed. It ought to be. Thk probabilities are that Nebraska and Colorado will both be admitted as States during tbo present session 61 Cngr-ess,1 Maximilian ig Baid to display the sam4 symptoms of Inaaulty Lis wife did m'uer rec enj yiait to Europe, Bfward and Stevens.
