0 TI1E NEW YORK PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LIADINO JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. 00riirD JVIBY DAT FOB ATKMKO TELEGRAPH Contract the Currency. From (he Tribune. . - The Ghlctiffo papers say that a coramittoe, rcyrescutiriK the merchants and manufacturers of that city, will soon visit Washington, to uo Cnf?ross to postpone contraction of the car rency. What areunienls those geutlemen will use we do not know, but certainly none more novel than the old threat of a sudden fall of prices, and unknown financial troubles. Con traction will be called a risk; the country Is unprepared for It; better have too much depre ciated paper moucy than too Little specie. The financial wolf which It is predicted will devour us takes the shape, In these disturbed imagina tions, of an enormous gold dollar. We will cheerfully meet the danger of its appearance. Thus far, the Secretary of tbe Treasury has bad small power from Congress to contract the currency. Toe laws parsed at the late session tied his "hands; but, under such power as he did possess, he has retired the revenue fund of $50,000, 000, issued to redeem temporary loans, aud $10,000,000 which Congress permitted him to withdraw within six months after tbe 121b. of April. A few millions, under the clause pro vidintr for monthly contraction, have also been withdrawn; yet there are now about $380,000,000 legal-tenders in circulation. Gola closed on Sat urday at il37j, and a little arithmetic wiil.saow bow ranch specie the?e $380,000,000 reprejent. Our dollars are not dollars, and pretend to a value they do not possess. With this inflated currency there can be no stability of prices, and the ordinary foresight of commerce is ever liable to be baffled by a rumor in the street, or a false telegram from Washington. Business, based on a shitting and uncertain currency, is h house built upou the sands; when the floods come and the winds beat upon that house great may be the fall thereof. Wo do not 6uppose that there are any bold enough to advocate the perpetuation of paper currency, but we know (hat men like this Chicago coin mitteo practically strive to secure it by object ing to all measure whl-h even look to a re eumption of specie payments. It ts, in their opinion, always too soon to begin. In our Judgment, a day is approaching when it will be too late to resume epecte payment by steady and sure contraction when the paper balloon will suddenly burst from the excess of its own inflation. We would prevent a revolution beyond our control by beginning while we have the power to direct it. Mr. McCulloch, in bis report, urges the neces sity of contraction and specie payments, and we truHthis arguments will have more weight with Con?ress than the lobbying of Chicago committees. Existing restriction upon the power of the Secretary to withdraw legal tenders'should be loosened. Congress can do the country no worse service than to let the mistakes of last pprlng govern the legislation of this winter. At least, let us nave a beginning; let something be done to tear tbe painted paper matk from tbe prosperity we really possess; let us feel the ground we stand on. Tnere is no safety in any other course. Reconstruction of the South De Novo The Last and Final Plan. From the Herald. The Important bill for tbe reconstruction of North Carolina from the very foundation, which Mr. Stevens introduced in the House of Repre sentatives on last Thursday, is the last, most thorough, and we think final plan of settling the whole question of Southern restoration. It la comprehensive and both liberal and conserva tive at the same time. It leaves no room for quibbling about pretended rights based upon a state of things anterior to the Rebellion and subjugation of the South. It deals frankly and directly with the actual condition and status of that section of country. It is, we are persuaded, the surest and readiest way to restore the South within tbe shortest time practicable. This bill, it is true, only provides for 're establishing civil government in North Carolina, to enable it to resume its former relations as one of the constituent States of the American Union;" but it is undoubtedly the plan in sub stance which is to be applied to all tbe other Rebel States. And although it was introduced in aquiet, unostentatious manner, "at the request," as Mr. Stevens said, "of several gentlemen from Horth Carolina," it was evidently carefully prepared, and endorsed by the domiuant party in Congress as a platform ana basis of general action, in introducing this treasure, framed by tbe mind of a statesman, Mr. Stevens has abandoned the role he sometimes takes of an extreme radical partisan, and is made tbe leader of a great party for earning out a grand and comprehensive policy. Tbe bill was reiorred to the Committee on Territories, but we suopose it will not, lie there long. In all probability it will soon be biought before Congress asrain, wheu the whole question of restoration will bo discussed and disposed oi for all the other Rebel States as well as lor North Carolina. The preamble of the bill declares that the citizens of North Carolina did rebel and vio lently "tet eside and destroy the organize 1 con stitutional Government of the said State." This is directly in conflict with the theory ol the President, upon which the whole ot hi? pro gramme ot reconstruction wa fomded. He held that the functions of the Rebel States were only suspended and not destroyed. But this theory, whether sound or unsound, has no prac tical value now. The Ccngress of the United States, which alone has tbe power to define the statu of these States and to refuse or admit them to be restored, thinks proper to declare that, after having put down the Rebellion, it "finds no government organized or officers qualified, according to the requirements of the Constitution of the United States," in the Rebel Stales. It is then assumed that the action of the President throughout in the Southern States was under the war power and martial law, for the purpose of "preserving petce and order and of relieving hi subordinate military officers from executing details of civil regulation," and that now "it is the duty of Congress by law to cause to be organized a Government, repuull can in form, bused on the civil aud law-making power of the nation." This is the whole argument on the part of Congress upon which that body proposes to act. It is not even said that the President exceeded his duty, nor is it assumed that what he did was illegal. In fact, the bill legalizes so iar every thing he has done. But it Is claimed that h was not competent to complete the work of restoiatioe, and that, consequently, the law making power of the nation the Congress of the United States has to finish It. In doing thta that bbdy. by the terms of Mr. Stevens' bill, deems it proper to bpgin da noop at the foun dation oi all government in this country-that is, by a regular constituent convention chosen by the body of tbe people. This convention is to frame a constitution, republican in form, under which, when approved by Congress, the Slate will boeutitled to cUlm admission, and the people "all tbe privileges and immunities uppertaining to the citizens of the other States of the Union." We are struck with the broad and liberal pro visions of this bill with regard to the suffrage. In the election of delegates to the sovereign Convention to form a Mate Government, it is provided "that all male resident citizens of the age pf twenty-one years, without distinction of race or color, who can read or writ, or who may own W fee real eatale of the assessed value of one1 hundred dollars or more," Khali be allowed to vote, This is more liberal than tho sutlrflge law ot New York for the neero. Yet we know tnal lew, comparatively, win uu mm liberal and conservative. But with regard to rTHE DAILY KVEN1NG ; TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, )ECEMER7?; 18GG, !.t.Pr?!pd"UVly.A:h1'.! I "!?.Lhe.'!Jr Mr"rrtales malnlVto the . MILLINERY1. TRIlllMlNftS t"tn i Vhc-rAirc WroAnA-r. the white it province "that no one who -has heretofore exercied tho right ol suffrage shall be disquali fied from voting at the said election.". This Congressional bafts of suffrage for the election of n constituent convention Is the best, we thirik, lor all the Southern States to alopt tn forming anew their State Governments. It Is an excellent bai, and would probaoly secure their prompt admission to Congress, and consequent complete restoration. As to the delegates to bo chosen to the con vention, they will be required 'to take an oath prcrribcd in the bill, that iher did n it will msrly. attor tbe 4th of March, 1884, support the Rebellion, that is, tiiat ttiey wished, it 'hey bad had the power, to accept the terms of President Lincoln's proclamation of December, 1803, to end the Rebellion, and return to their allegiance to the United States; and also that they will hereafter faithfully support the Constitution and Gcvernment or the Uoiied States. This, we take it, after all, is not such a terrible oath. We do not see anyitalrxr "iron-clad" aoout It. None but tho most determined and incurable Rebels would be debarred from taking it. By tar the larger portion ol tbe Southern people must have becomo disgusted with the Rebellion and desired to return to their allegience to the United States by the 4th of March, 1864. Every reasonable Southerner will say it is only right that the delegates to form a new loyal State Government should have as much orignal loyalty about him as that. The bill provides for an election of dele gates ton tho 1st of next May, and for the assembling ot the Convention on the 20th of tho same month. It is to be hoped that Conuress will leport a bill or bills for all the Rebel 8f ates to be put through the process of reorgani zation at the same time, and in a similar manner. In the eoncluding clause of the bill the Presi dent is authotized, aud it is made "his duty so to dispose and employ the military and naval forces as to enforce the prompt and efficient execution of the provisions of tbe act." Thus. then, the late Rebel States are to lie forced, by tbe supreme power of Concrcss, to return to tneir status in the Union. Thev will not be allowed to keep the country in a disor ganized condition to gratify their sullen and ridiculous opbosition. or to induleo their absurd lialr-splittiog quibbles about constitutional l klits which have no real existence. . The loyal States are tired of the present aiuormal state of things, and will force restoration upon the people they still hold under subjugation. The northern people want peace and harmonv. and the resources of Ihe court try developed tor their own sake. They 'want that strength, both at home and abrovl, whici a restored Union only can give. This is the secret and moiivo of the present important movement in It tlie (south be wise It will ceate talk nc about its fancied rights aud imagined grievances, learn that there has been a revolution, see that it is absolutely in tbe hands of Us conquerors, and accept promptly the Congressional plan ot re organization and restoration. If they do this, they will be fully restored to the Union within a year or so. their troub es will bo ended, their bcautitul country will enter upon a glorious career of prosperity, and they will help to elect the next President in 18G8. The Authority of Consrress Over the Itccouxtructlou of the South. .From We limes. Mr. Stevens' bill in the House, and Mr. Sumuei's resolutions in the Senate, raise the Southern question in a form that will compel Congress to determine specifically the principles and tbe policy to to pursued. In this respect, both are useful. For, though the action pro posed by Mr. Stevens seems somewhat in ad vance of the requirements ol tho case, seeing that Mr. Spauldlug's resolution In regard to the Constitutional amendment is yet before the Reconstruction Committee, the time for con sidering the general aspect of the question has undoubtedly arrived. If, as Is believed, the ses sion should not close without a final adjustment of tho question, a consideration ot the principles involved is now in order. Knch of the propositions at present before Co igrets proceeds upon a distinct basis. Mi. Spauld Eg would throw upon tbe Southern States the onus ot determining whether they shall bo restored to the Union oi remain as now, subject to its burdens wh.le deprived of its privileges, lie proposes only to exact the ratification of the pending amendment, with evidence superadded that the forms of local government are "not inconsistent with the Constitution ot the United States." The chance to return on these condi tions is offered, and the purpose of Con ress in affording it is to be declared. The iulerence is, that the South may or may tot be restored; the sole certainty leing that it cani.ot escape the jurisdiction of the Federal Government or the obligations it imposes, nor evade the penalties inseparable front exclusion. Mr. Steven., on tho contrary, asserts that the Southern States are btates no more that they ceased to be such, as members of tho Union, when their citizens rebelled against Union authority that they are destitute of properly organized Governments and that tho United States, having subdued the Rebellion, is called upon to provide for the organization of local civil authority. The doctrine ot State suicide is not, indeed, explicitly affirmed by Mr. Ste vens in bis bill; but that it is the animating principle of the measure is made evident by the terms in which North Carolina is designated in tbe preamble and hIso in the body of the enact ment. "Said district formerly comprising the State of North Carolina," is the phrase em ployed, and it is susceptible of no other inter pretation than that the Slate, as such, has ceased to exist. The refeoluilons of Mr. Sumner aflirm what we lake to be indisputable "the Jurisdiction ot Congress over tho whole subject." Thoy further declare tbe ilhgality of the t'lstliig Govern ments in the Retel States, tho absence o' all right on their pait to representation in Con gress or to vote on Constitutional amendments, aud "the duty o i' Congress to proced with the work of reconstruction" on. a certain indicated principle. The duty of proceed ng with the woik, and that speedily, is to our mind obvious. The per formance of ihis duty, however, will necessitate an authorltittive assertion oi one or another of tbe principles embodied in tho proposition to beaded upon. Between the principle of Mr. Stevens' bill and the principle of Mr. Sumner's resolutions the difference Is entirely abstract. I'ractically, it matters comparatively . little whether we declare iho States non existent, and legislate accordingly, or whether we proceed on the hypothesis that the States still live, but that their disloyal organizations havo been crushed, and that their inhabitants must conform to the will of Congress touching the organizations to be created. The theoretical differenco is never theless of sufficient importance to be weighed carefully with a viowto the constitutional justi fication of the course pursued. Again, either. ot these plans differ funda mentally from the idea which underlies Mr. Spaulding's resolution. To a certain extent, (hat is illogical. It presupposes as well the continued existence of the States within the Union, as the sutiiciency of local organization s growing out of Pre-itlent Johnson's provisional intcrfeience and dictation: yet it concedes to Congress the right to pass upou the local forms of government, and to exact conformity to its btandard of the republican lorm. If Congress may do this, it may do more. And the power which may do this or more may dispt-nse with tho ratification of the Amend ment by the South. ' Here, then, is the pith ol the question as now it stands at Washington. Byway of compro mise, Congress is asked to consider tbe expe diency of renewing the offer of tbe amendment as an olive branch to tho South; this time de claring it to be the condition of restoration, provided there be nothing in local law or forms at variance with tbe spirit of recent Federal legislation. Or, spurning compromise, and dis carding pleas for further delay, Conuress is invited to go on with the work of reconstruc tion, with exclusive reference to the permanent supremacy of Union men and Union institutions hroughout the South. Tbe dmibt which forces itself upon us in rola- question of- time. Rather than permit th dtp sent rtate of affairs to continue I indefinitely, fraught as It is with ill-feeling and peril, we would push lorwaid reconstruction on the Terri torial plan. It were better to ashume that task, with all its delicate contingencies, than permit a practical severance of tho Un'on. or Its resto ration on a basis to b fixed by the Ri-bcl leaders. And to tbis complexion we believe it will comd at last. The folly and contumacy of the South may necessitate and justify it as a means oi"con snmating the victory achieved by the t Union iorces. But is it prudent to take tho atnn hnfnr ulterior measures, even to Lhn nvtnt r hnrrin. ning afresh the work of organizing lotiai Govern ments, we are prepared to concede. Only lot this severe and sweeping policy come not too soon or too hastily. . .... May it not be wise to give the moderate ele ment at the South a little further time for the asseition of its strength? We dare not hop that that strength will prevail; but the trial will be beneficial, inasmuch as it will test the power of tbe rational portion of the people, and will prevent their consolidation against the course which may be afterwards adopted by Congress. Considering tbe qucotiou in this light, Mr. SpauldiDg's resolution seemed to us judicious; subject, however, to the understanding that an extension of time for ratification should not extend beyond the present session. Of the other propositions, Mr. S tinner's is In many rpects prelerable. It Is more in har mony with the principle which pervaded the fiolicy or the Government during the war, and t Is more likely lo commend itself to the popu lar jurigmpiit than tbe doctrine of State suicide in any shape. It has another advantage. A series of resolutions, affirming principles and fact", is a more convenient basis of dtscnsslon than a bill in which principles and details are always more or less mixed. Besides, the time consumed in the consideration of these resolu tions would really be an extension ol grace in connection wilh the amendment, whilo the bill shuts oil' all chance of repentance. The question is the most momentous that has onsen since the suppression of the Rebolllou. And in its solution the country has need ot the patience and the temper as well as the principle of its best statesmen. SPECIAL NOTICES. DR.
