MONDAY, JANfAK if 21, 18G7, The Vexed Question. To the Editor of the Evening Telegraph: Buklinuton, January 15, HQ7. You appear to deny, in your editorial of Monday rtvemufr, that tlio leiral statu of tlio lato Kcbol States has b-en aotcrruinod in an lrrovertblo manner by tlio Supreme Court ot the (Jnltod States. If this bo so, pray intorprot the meaniueol Hie iollowinjt ex tract frorr the opinion ot Juuire Nolson, in the caso Of the Circassian, to be found in 2 Wallace, 158 : "The capture ol lAf port and town of Sew Orleans was but tho restoration of tlio auclunt possesion, authority and laws ot the country, tho continuance and permanency of winch, o lar as tlio rifrht is in yoWf d, depend not on connuost, nor on the success and vicissitudes of armios, but upon the Constitution of the United States, which extends over every por tion of Hie Onion, and is the supreme, law ot the land. The moment the capture took place, and the authoriti of the United States tons established, the municipal lairs of that (lovvrnment. took the place of the iniernattona.1 laws upon which the blook'tde rested." What, al0o, was the meaning of president Lincoln, if your theory bo correct, in his proclamation of September 22, 1802, when lie declarod: "That hereafter, as heretofore, the tear will be prosecuted for the object of praclicali restormi the constitutional relation between the United States and each ot te. States and the people thereof in vhich Slates that relation is or may be suspendtd or disturbed." The question between conquest ami the Constitu tion has been setllcd during the war by all the de partments of the Government in tavor of thu Con stitutioH. The ordinances of secession were not valid in the judgment of the Fedoral authorities; the constitutional bond of union between the States was not repealed; its cftoct waa suspended merely by civil war. When, thorefore, the civil war was endud, its practical force was strain united with its right of supremacy. The object of the war had been accomplished, and the Btatos wore restored to thoir national relations. Any other determina tion will only introduce "confusion worse confounded" and the Republican parly, in attempting to maintain any other, will be ground to powder under the pressuro of tho upper and nether mill-stones of a remorseless lotrio. The Supiemo Court, by the Constitution, can alono hear "suits between citizens ol the diflbrcnt States, ' but not between citizons of the Territories. It has heard at the presont term and doolded suits between tho citizens of States lately in rebellion. If this is not a judicial recognition ol their status as States by that tribunal. .then we would like to be inlormod in what stronger mode such a recognition can bo given, unless it be an absolute decision ol the whole ques tion coming up upon a case stated The question of the status of the late Rebel States presents itself to our mind in the fol lowing form: Are the State Governments, now in existence within the limits of those States, constitutional governments? And this is a question which we very much doubt the capacity of the Supreme Court to pas upon. When a fctate, by rebellion and attempted revolution, has "interrupted," "sus penned," or '"destroyed" its constitutional rela tions to the nation, as a participant in the government thereof, we do not think it can resume these relations except by the consent of the nation, legaily expressed through its Representatives in Congress assembled. We do not think it can be restored of its own motion, or by a decision ol the Supreme Court, or by the fiat of the Executive. There are no precedents to guide us. The question is a new one, and must be settled by the best lights we can obtain . The doctrine that a State may discard all its constitutional obli gations, conlcderate with other Rebel States, wage war against the nation for years, and then, by the mere fact of its being overcome, thoroughly whipped, and subjugated, be enti tled, ot right and without conditions, to resume its old political power in the Govern ment it has attempted to destroy, is to us such a doctrine of misrule most abhorrent and absurd the very essence ot anarchy that we certainly shall not believe the Su preme Court of the United States holds it until compelled to do so by an "absolute decision'' upon a '"case stated." The present State Governments of the late Rebel States are the creation of the Execu tive, gotten up by biuvto supply the place of the old State Governments, which he forcibly overthrew. So far as Justice Nelson's argu ment goes, it bears very strongly against the .egality of these Executive State Govern ments, and in favor of the legality of their overthrown predecessors. Conservative logic in regard to the effect of the Rebellion upon State status leads to the same conclusion. Indeed, neither upon the conservative theory nor upon the radical theory can the legality of Mr. Johnson's State Governments be de fended. So far as Mr. Lincoln's declarations quoted by our correspondent are concerned, we accept them in their fullest significance. The war was waged to establish constitu tional relations between the revolted States and the United States. That is what the Republican party Is trying to accomplish, and would have accomplished long ere this had not the unconstitutional interference of the President, in attempting to create State Governments and give them a standing In the Union, blocked up. the way and prevented the consummation of the work. ThOyVotally misapprehend the spirit of tho great Union organization who suppose that it would permanently exclude the late Rebel v States from participation in the Government. Such is not tu purpose. Rut It doe intend, n restoring these States to power in the Union, tbat the work shall be done in such a way and upon such a basis as will secure the tfghta of ail classes of citizens at the South, and will effectually guard the country against the perils ot future rebellions and revolutions by totally destroying those anti-republican features of society and government out of Vhich they inevitably grow. Upoa tlio THE DAILY KVEMNG TMl'Il.HLADMJiriAMONDAY, JANUARY 21, 18G7. accomplishment of this end the national mind in fixed. The Supreme Court may delay the work, but cannot defeat it. So surely as the conscience of the nation refused to be bound by the Infamous Dred Scott decision, so surely will it now refuse to be bound by any deci sion attempting to obstruct the final, fu'l, and unqueMloned triumph of Republican principles in this Government. A Light Out ot Egypt. Ti;e South, it would seem, is gradually awakening to tho fact that the extension to, the intelligent black of the right of suffrage U a necessity, which, while they may dlay its operation, they cannot ultimately postpone. I he O'd North State, in a recent article on tho subject, gives promise of future enlight ened action iu the fate Rebel Uoininonwealilis. It says : "Then, as t'ney must remain among us, does not every principle of Christianity evurv prin ciple of sound morality every voiisideralinu ot (iomcstic iind peueiul policv, require that we should do the Ixvt with them and lor them tuat we can r Should not every attention be paid to thrir mental, moral, and religious culture? Should we not holdout to them every induce ment to become useful members ot society? bhould we not by all menus make them our trieuds by convincing them that we are iier friends? Surely no ritrht thinking man will attempt to answer these question iu the nega tive. 3 'How, then, ia this be done ? This Is the moot perplexing question yet presented, and one which it requires some nerve in the present state ot public opinion to answer. Hut we are happy to know thut public sentiment is rapidly iiucl;iH'oin a change. Thouglitml men are beginning to see the impossibility of keeping among us and governing a population ot lour millions of human beings without making them cur Iriends without making them the friends of the Government which cannot be done with out giving them an interest in the control of it. This can only be done safely by iu vesting such of them as may be capable of exercising it intelligently witli the rleut of siiilraue. "Let us confer the right of sutl'rage, properly guarded that is, with proper qualifications upon the African race iu our midst, or oiler to do bo, and it will go further to effect a chang" ot opiuion in our favor at the North, which the representatives of the Northern people in Con-gre.-s could not resist, than anything else we could do. President Johusou clearly saw this; hence, as the true lncnd of the southern people, he wrote his letter to Judge Sharkey, urging the Mississippi Couventiou to grant tnem impartial suffrage. Subsequent events have demonstrated the wisdom ot such a course, and it is much to be feared that the Southern people will yet have rea-on to regret that they did not follow Ins advice. "In presenting these viewi, we have not been influenced solely by the emergency of the times, as the reader must have perceived. We have not been governed solely by considerations of policy. We arc prepared lo defend our propo sitions upon principle. We have for some tune entertained thee views, as is tvell known t: our Iriends. We were among the tirst iu the State to advocate the right of the iree lmen to testify in the courts, and however oboxiou ihe proposition was when first made, use has reconciled every one to it. And so it will be with this measure if it should ever be adopted, as it certainty will. It embodies all the ad litional privileges which we can saiely grant to the frce lnien. and all that they have any right to demand. It is just, within itse'.f, and cannot be long t existed; it is a foregone conclusion. We would warn our statesmen and politicians thai they cannot "kick aaainst the .ricks;' they will have to yield to this innovation sooner or Icier, and why not make a oirtue of necessity, and cowed it lira'refuliq f The states man wllo attempts to stand stilt al a lim.2 like the present will be unable to render any service to the .'late will be swept away by the current of events. EXT. EN S1VE BURGLARY PARTLY SUCCESS FUL. The DouiIedL WaicUouse No. lft.'l Wasli "liiRtou Street Broken Iuto, audi $'4000 Worth of Mcrcliaufllse Abstracted The Burglars Escape. A nio.-t daring attempt at robbery, iu which the thieves weie partially sucoessful, ocearre.1 earl hist Saturday morning. While one of the officers of the Twenty-seventh precinct was patrolling his post, he accidentally discovered a number ot pieces ot black silk, said to be val ted at $75U0, stowed behind the door leading into the tenement-house No. 158 Greenwich street. Acting upon the supposition that thiugs were not all right, he called for and obtained the assistance of two other otneers, and then insti tuted an investigation, when they discovered that an entrance had been effected iuto the United States bonded warehouse No. 103 Wash ington street, situated immediately iu the rear ot'the tenement-house in which the goods were discovered. This warehouse is owned and occupied by Messrs. M. P. Smith & Co., and contains a 1 irge amount of valuable property, consisting of silks, velvets, satins, cloths, and other merchan dise. The operations of the burglars, the man ner of entrance, the locality chosen to effect the entrance, and the time for carrying their nelarious designs to a consummation, exhibit a great ileal of t kill and calculation. The en trance was made on the tirst floor, and from appearances it would seem that the goo Is hero stored were examined, and left in search of more valuable boot?. On the fourth floor they found something worthy of their attention in the shape ot a number of cases of black silk marked A. T. Stewart & Co. These were broken open and the contents abstracted. The silk, to the value of over $11,000, was taken from the warehouse, but owing to some unaccountable circumstance the thieves were disturbed in their work, and suc ceeded in carrying away only $3500, leaving the remainder as discovered by the otlicer. Every thing, both in the construction of the building and the locality, lavored the burglars In their work. As yet no clue has been obtained that m lead to' their discovery. N. Y. Herald.
