As Tire bill Introduced by Mr. Stevens for the reconstruction of the late Rebel States promises to be the Important mcasuro of the session, It may be well worth while to devote some little attention to its provisions. The preamble asserts that the eleven States which lately formed the Government called the "Confederate States of America" have forfeited all their rights under the Constitu tion, and can be reinstated in the same only through the action of Congress. This em braces essentially the ground upon which rresldent Johnson based his right to recon struct the fetate Governments of the South, nis form ol expression was that the Rebel lion had "destroyed all civil government" at the South. Botn Congress and the Fres'dent agree, therefore, that the Rebellion necessi tated the creation of new Slate organizations In the districts of country originally occu pied by the loyal State Governments of the South, and subsequently usurped by the un constitutional and revolutionary Rebel State organizations. This is a point of great Im portance, and is the key really to the whole struggle. It confines the question wholly to the power and right of the rresldent, solely and on his own motion, to organize States and give them a constitutional status In the Union. It is not at all a question as to the effect of the Bebdllou upon the State organi zations of the South, for both the Presi dent and Congress agree that its effect was to destroy those organizations. This effectually does away with all the metaphysical absurdities of "once a State always a Si.afe," the acts of secession having "no effect," and all that kind of talk. Both parties start out from an acknowledged fact, viz., the overthrow of all civil government the abolition of all State organizations by the Rebellion. The simple question remains, What department of the Government Is au thorized to reconstruct the South? Mr. Stevens' bill asserts in its preamble that the work of reconstruction belongs to Congress; and it goes on to prescribe that the eleven States lately In rebellion, except Tennessee, may form valid State Governments in a cer tain manner. But here we are at the outset met with the created In the late Rebel States. What shall be done with them? Shall they be over thrown, and no organizations at all be left, lor the time being, In these States ? Mr. Stevens' bill proposes no such thing. It simply recog nizes tbe facts in regard to these organiza tions, viz., that they were illegally formed in the midst of martial law; that in many in stances their constitutions were adopted under duress, and not submitt?d to the people for ratification ; but that they are de facto governments, and are now to be by Congress legalized as valid lor .municipal purposes until they shall be duly altered. The bill next provides for the organization Ot loyal State Governments, to take the place of these temporary municipal organizations created by the President. To this end elec tions are to be held in each of the ten unre constructed States on the first Monday in May, 1807, for the choice of delegates to Constitut'onal Conventions, which are to assemble at the former capitals of the respec tive States on the first Monday in June, to frame Constitutions which shall be submitted to the loyal voters of the several States for their ratification or rejection. The officers for the conducting of these elections are to be appointed by a Board ol three Commis sioners in each State, which Board is to be appointed by the Supreme Court of the Dis trict of Columbia. The returns of the elec tions are to be made to these Commissioners, who are to grant certificates of election to the members elected. So far the bill con forms to the best precedents for the for mation of State Governments in this Union, and is altogether superior to the laws pre earibed by President Johnson for the con struction of his State Governments. The next vital point that comes up is as to who are to be considered ''the people" in the formation of these State organizations. Here Congress proposes to adhere firmly to the principle so uniformly maintained throughout the war, and by no one more conspicuously than by President Johnson himself that the loyal people, and they alone, are to be con sidered as the people, for the purposes of State organization. Hence the bill provides that the right of voting and holding office Shall be conferred upon all male citizens over twenty-one yea's of age, of one year's resi dence In the State anyl ten days in the elec tion district, the term "citizen" to cover all persons (except Indians not taxed) bora in the United States or duly naturalized. All persons who were ol full age on the 4th day of March, 1861, and who have held office under the Government called the "Confede rate States of America," or sworn allegiance to it, are declared to have for feited their citizenship, and to have re nounced their allegiance to the United States,' ' and ' shall not be entitled to vote or hold office until five years alter they shall have filed their Intention or desire to be rein Tested with citizenship, and shall swear alle giance to the United Statesnd renounce all jUlegiauce to all other gOYernmeata or pre tended governments ; provided, however, tliat such of the above as are otherwise qualified shall be allowed to vote and hold office upon taking an oath that, on the 4th of March, 1864, and at all times thereafter, they were opposed to the continuance of the Rebellion and the establishment of the Confederate Gov ernment, and desired the success of the United States, and would have complied with the requirements of the proclamation of the President of the United States, issued Decem ber 8, 1803, could they have safely done so. This is quite as liberal as those who have participated in the Rebellion could expect . It enforces no pains and penalties of confisca tion or lha. like, but simply says to those who voluntarily renounced their allegiance to the United States, and adhered throughout the war to the fortunes ol the so-called Confede racy, that they cannot be restored to political power without going throuih a probation and formalities analaprous to those required of foreigners applying for citizenship in the United States. . . There only remains to bo guarded the republican character of the Governments to be framed; and this is done by the simple and ust requirement that the Constitutions to be framed shall gnarantee an equality of rights, privileges, and immunities to all citi zens ot the State. When the Constitutions shall have been presented to Congress, and app oved by that body, the S tates will then be declared entitled to all the rights and sub ject to all the obligations of States In the Union, and shall then, and not before, be entitled to representation in Congress. This is the simple, just, and comprehensive plan proposed by Mr. Stevens for the recon struction of the late Rebel States. We believe it to be both right and practicable ; and we hope that Congress will stand by th's mea sure as a finality in regard to the vexed prob lem which now agitates the nation. The Veto Message. The veto message of the President in regard to the Suffrage bill in the District of Columbia was expected, and therefore nobody is disap pointed now that it makes its appearance. Its arguments are specious but utterly untenable, and are merely the old sophisms wherewith unjust power seeks to perpetuate itself. The constitutional right of Congress to regulate the matter of the suffrage in the District cannot be questioned. The only question that remains is, whether the proposed exercise of power accords with justice and moral right The entire argument of the President on this point is, that we must not do this act of justice to the disfranchised people of the Dis trict, because those who now have the power there are opposed to it. But this style of reasoning cannot be allowed. No man is wronged because simple justice is done to his neighbor. It the present voting population of the District, or a majo rity of them, are opposed to an act of simple justice, tli at is no reason why the people of the United States, through their Representa tives, should hesitate to do It. The truth is, the wishes of this faction of the people of the District are entitled to but very little respect. They were mainly a disloyal set during the war, and had it been left to their vote to decide, would have chusen Jeff. Davis in preference to Abraham Lincoln. 1 he President's opposition to the extension of the suffrage Is based upon the same grounds wherewith the autocrats of the Old World oppose the. extension ot the suffrage there. They are good arguments for a despotic government, but they are poor ones for a republic. There is a certain risk in allowing the people to vote, but it is a risk which in republican forms of government is assumed at the outset. Ship News. New York, January 7.
