A Cheap Job or Whitewashing.
It is amusing to bcbold the subterfuges re
sorted to by our conservative brethren to
clear the memory of the late Chief Justice
Taney of that terrible shadow, the intamous
Dred Scott decision. They now pretend that
the Chief Justice did not decide "that the
negro had no rights that the white man was
bound to respect," but that he merely
asserted as a historical fact that such was
the universal sentimeut of the country at the
time of the adoption of the Federal Constitu
tion, and for a hundred years before.' But
this does not mend the matter any. Tlie
assumed historical fact is no fact, but au
abominable falsehood. There never was a
time in this country when such a sentiment
was generally entertained. At the very
period to which Chief Justice Taney ascribed
the prevalency of that inhuman sentiment
negroes were citizens of the United Sta tes.were
voters on the same terms with other persons
in a majority o( the States, were soldiers in
the Revolutionary army and in the militia
of many of the States. So that the late Chief
Justice is forced into the position either of
having been grossly ignorant of the history
of the country or bavin? invented aa inia
mous sentiment, and falsely ascribed it to the
fathers of the republic.
There is no escape from this. The line of
defense resorted to by Taney's apolo
gists proves it. Thus, our Democratic
contemporary attempts to show that
Taney's statement that the negro
race was regarded as having no rights
that white men were bound respect is his
torically correct by toe weak device of
quoting the language of a Massachusetts
judge, forty years after slavery had been
abolished in that State, in which the judge
describes the condition of a slave, and de
scribes it correctly, as slavery existed in the
United States from the beginning down to the
time of its abolition. But the question is
not as to the condition of slaces, but that of
the negio race. Taney's sentiment was in
vented to lustily the exclusion of free colored
men from citizenship in the United States.
That our contemporay should have resorted to
such a petty and transparent quibble shows
how dcspeiate poor old Taney's case is. He
stands convicted before the bar of history, of
invenlina an infamous and inhuman senti
ment, and then of falsely ascribing it to the
noble men who founded the American Re
public; and he did all this for the purpose ot
decitizenizing tn entire race, and ot extend
ing a system oi terrible oppression over all the
'lecritorles of the United SU es.
The history of the Dred Scott decision b
instructive. That decision was the fruit of
a conspiracy between the Sapreme Court and
the slave power, to extend slavery into the
Territories of the United States, and, flnallyi
into the free States themselves. It was in
exposing this conspiracy against the liber
ties of the country, that Abraham Lincoln
first achieved that distinction which after
wards made him the standard-bearer ol the
nation in its great and bloody contest with
the slave power. The decision itself never
carried with it any moral weight. The con
science of the nation condemned it. The
other departments of the Government, and
the Court Itself, have since ignored it.
Negroes are now recognized by all the De
partments of the Government as citizens, and
are admitted to practice at the bar of the
very Court which decided that they were not
citizens, while the friends of the late Chief Jus
tice are vainly seeking to screen his memory
from the opprobrium of the civilized world.
Let the Supreme Court of to-day take warn
ing ! 1 here is an immortality of infamy as
well as ot glory.
A Long Needed f inancial Itelorm
Wn. have freqently stated that the present
condition of the finances of our State removed
us but one step above repudiating Mississippi.
With an ample revenue, and a yet more bril
liant prospect in the future, the Common
wealth has allowed her notes to mature and
become overdue, without taking the proper
precautions due her honor of providing for
Iheir redemption. The consequences are,
that while bearing regulaily paid interest,
and being as safe bonds as any in the country,
yet they have been for years considerably
below pr. The original holders of these
bonds have lost heavily by this derelictiou
of duty ou the part of the State. They
recive in paper what was designed to be
paid in gold; they cannot sell their bonds
without heavy loss, and are at the same time
taxed by the State and National Governments-It
is, therefore, with no surprise that we
hear cur contemporaries in neighboring States
reflecting strongly on the loose, not to say
dishonest, mode of conducting public business
in Pennsylvania. The condition of our State
debt can at present be looked calmly in the
face without any alarm. We are in a posi
tion to right ourselves upon the record,
and to take up all tiiese protested notes.
The total Indebtedness of the Commonwealth
amount to $35,000,000. Of this sum $23,000,000
. are already due: the remaining 12,000,000
will tall due before 1878. The matter to be
at once attended to Is that sum which is now
overdue.
Hon. George Coonell yesterday moved In
th iSen&te & bill which contains within its
provisions the substance of the plan urged by
us some months ago. Ills act authorizes the
State Treasurer to borrow $23,000,000, on nix
per cent bonds (free of taxation), to take up
the overdue bonds of this Commonwealth of
the same amount ; the new issue to be divided
as follows : Five millions payable at any
time after five and within ten years. Eight
millions payable at any time after ten and
within fifteen years. Ten millions payable at
any time after fifteen years. Bids for the
loan to be opened and awarded to the highest
bidder, but no certificate to be negotiated for
less than par value. Tl)o overdue bonds and
certificates may be received in payment
1 he provisions of this plan have the sanc
tion of our able State Treasurer, Mr. William
II. Kembte, and seem to us at once feasible
and Just By this course the State does not
Increase her Indebtedness one cent It
merely makes what is now a dishonest debt
become a lawful and legitimate one. It
makes the form of debt uniform, and increases
its value thereby, as a regular issue of the
same general interest and length of time
before maturity is much easier negotiated
than a number of small miscellaneous loans.
There can be little doubt but that this loan
will command a premium, for all of which the
State will be the gainer. By the exemption
from taxation, the Injustice now done to the
holders of the overdue bonds is obviated, and a
powerlul argument in favor of the new loan
is thus afforded.
The gradual division of the maturing of the
loan renders it safe beyond all doubt. The
surplus given into the hands of the sinking
fund commission exceeds $1,500,000 within
the past four years, notwithstanding the heavy
war expense. Consequently, there can be no
possible doubt of its extinguishment at the
t;me named. The last clause of the bill is an
act of justice at the expense of policy. It is
cleaily proper that, as the holders of the old
loans have paid par for their investments
therefore they should receive par in return.
Makiug the old loans convertible into the new
will thus do justice, but will lose the State
considerable money which might have been
saved if she went into the market and botight
up her now depreciated bonds.
It is clear, however, that she ought rather
to follow the dictates of right than ot
policy. We do not know but that, after ali,
honesty is the best policy, for additional
confidence is secured for the new loan by this
redeeming of the Legislature and ol the
State. There is nothing, however, at present
to prevent the Legislature at once adopting
th's plan, and having the stain on the honor
of our State at once wiped out. Every day
it remains lessens the confidence of the
people, and makes the negotiation of the new
loan more and more difficult.
A New Movement Foreshadowed.
Indications are not wanting that a serious
endeavor is about to bo made at Washington
to overcome the present "dead lock," by some
new movement based upon the idea of quali
fied suflrage for the blacks of the South and
qualified amnesty for the late Rebels. It is
assei ted that representative men of the South
are beginning to advocate this plan, and that
it has for some time been favorably regarded
by thr President. While it is impossible to
predict what may grow out ot-tli us move
ment, should it bo seriously advocated, yet
we hopefully regard every indication of any
approach towards a settlement of our national
difficulties upon a just and sate basis.
If, instead of wrangling any longer over
our troubles, the whole country, North and
South, would at once honestly accept the
situation, and take the broad democratic
position of equal rights to all citizens as the
basis of recousrruction, this whole question
might be settled in six months, every State
restored to its position in the Union, and a
clear path opened for national progress and
prosperity in the future. Are there any pos
sible dangers which could arise from this
libera', enfranchising policy, that can for a
moment be compared with the clouds of
doubt and peril which now surround us ? Has
our experience of the principles of republican
liberty in the past been so disastrous as to
make us shrink from their lull application
now? Wherein our own country, or in the
world, can we find better governed com
munitiescommunities where the rights of
property, liberty, and life are more sacredly
secured, and all the objects of civil gov
ernment more fully obtained than in tboso
States of the American Union where every
citiabn has equal rights before the law?
How long shall we shut our eyes to the
fact that a simple and sovereign remedy for
all our difficulties lies at our very doors?
The Kansas Senatois.
Hon. S. C. Pomeroy was yesterday re-elected
by the Legislature of Kansas to represent
that State in the Senate of the United States
for six years fiom the fourth day of March
next, and the non. E. G. Ross was elected
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of
the late James II. Lane.
Senator Pomeroy was one of the earliest
settlers of Kanas, and was one oi her most
prominent and useful citizens during the free
State strueg'e. Upon the admission of the
State into the Union he was elected one of
ber first Senators, drawing the long term of
six years. He is among the leaders of the
radical sentiment of the country, and with
tbe legisUtive experience he has already
acquired, will be more than ever an able and
valuable member of the Senate.
Major Ross is also one oi the "old guard"
of Kansas, being among her earliest settlers.
Though a man of quiet and unassuming
manners, be was always classed among the
fighting men in the dafys of the Kansas
struggle, and made a (Jtood record as an
officer during the war. $ He was appointed,
temporarily, by the Governor of Kansas to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of
Senator Lane, and has now been elected to
that position by the Legislature. He is a
true man, and can be relied upon in any
emergency.
Mr. BotJTwmx's bill excluding persons
who have been gul ty of treason, bribery,
murder, or other felonies, or engaged in re
bellion against tbe Government of the United
States, from acting as attorneys or counsel
lors in any United States Court, was passed
yesterday in the House of Representatives by
a vote of 109 to 42. This is the bill over
which the Democrats filibustered all Tues
day night. The bill will undoubtedly pass
the Senate also, be vetoed, and passed over
the veto.
Nevada Is to be added to the Stales that
have ratified the Constitutional amendment.
