Loyalty. from the Tribune. The most urpcut need of our country to day J-., that lier people, North and South, should thoroughly understand each other. At pre sent, tliey arc completely belogfred and ut iross-purposes; and one of the chief instrument of their mutual misconception is the unambigu ous word, lojalty. Let us try to elucidate their confusion. : Since the surrender of the Rebel armies, but jiiorc especially within tho last year, there have been ninny murders and other outrages perpe trated at the South. Most of these have been murders of Unionists by those who, while the urntrple lutd, gloried in beltifr known us Hecotionists or Confederates. ionio of the victims were Union soldiers; other, Southern Unionist:?; many of Hum were white, but wore we black; and we lack proof that the i-pirit which impelled to tnebe homicides is yet txtinc). . , , "Well, what ot it?" asks a Copperhead. "Have there not been murders ac thp North as well murders by men in blue overboatn as well as iu threadbare prey? murders by toose you fi.ll loyal us well as by cx-Keoels? murJers of voltes 'by blaek3 as well as oi blucks by white? nd is it not notorious that riKht here in New York, there nre several murders committed to every one th.ir OuKey li:ill manages to have inuii.-hed ? Then what are you trying to make cut ? Just this, sir and we beg your Southern friends to take careful heed of it that, while jnurders aud other outrages are deplorably common in all purts of our country, and the perpetrators too frequently escape arrest, con viction, and punishment, public sentiment at the North favors and demands the execution of the law neainst criminals, while it seems not to do so at the South, w hen the perpetrator was a ltebcl and his victim is a Unionist, especially a black one. Can we be mistaken as to the fact ? If bo, pome one cau Jeuaily point us tr a score of recent instances or, at least, half a dozen wherein the Rebel sdaver of a black, or otner conspicuous Unionist, has been promptly pur sued, arrested, indicted, tried, convicted, and punished by the State or local authorities as reconstructed by l're'idcut Johnson. And we ehall be very much obliged to any one who will Javor us with even one well-authenttciited case wherein the white Southerner who has felo niously killed a necro has been treated by the local or State authorities precisely as his victim would have been had the flayer uud the blaiu changed places. Now il killing a necro Is practically recarded and treated as no ciime, or a very venial one, toy the ex-Iicbel authorities of the Suuth, how can the South expect the present or the uext Congress to recognize those authorities as 3eaitimaie, aud auinit men of like spirit and purposes to seats in either House? lloiv can Mix one expect it? Let us illustrate by a case wherein no negro lad any part whatever, and which has passed through several stages of adjudication. An agent ot the Federal Government seized a Jot of cotton in South Carolina, near Augusta, Georgia, as having been subscribed or con tributed by the planters who grew it, to the service and support ot the Rebel Confederacy: therefore forfeited to our Government by thf undoubted laws of war. Certain United St ites soldiers were set to euardiug that seized cotton. One night, two sons ot the planter, with two or three accomplices, crept up to those soldiers under cover ot the darktiess, shot them dead, and ran off the cotton beyond recovery. But lhe culprits weredueovercd by General Sickles, arrested, tried by a military commission, con victed oi murder and sentenced to death. Pre sident Johnson commuted that sentence into perpetual imprisonment in Fort Delaware, whither they were duly conveyed. But United fcUatcs District J tultre Hall, ot Delaware, soon took them out of the fort on habeas corpus and set them at liberty, on tho assumption that their trial and conviction by a military court was illegal and invalid a position which we under daud to have eiuoe been fully su'taine 1 by a majority oi the Supreme Court iu the Milliyan case. Now, then, is there one man on all the earth who believes that these midnight assassins of Federal soldiers for simply doing their duty aire, or ever were, in danger of being arrested, tried, convicted, uud punished, by the present 3ocal authorities ot South Caroliua or of Georgia ? And, if not, what is the action of the Supreme and District Courts in their case but a proclamation of impunity to R jbel assassins? And is it within the compass of human imagin ation to fancy John Marshal pronouncing a decision whereof this would be the natural result? And if more soldiers, or other loval persons, snail be murdered uuder like circura- tUnees, and their assassins shall laucrh to scorn the Huegestion of punishment, will not the rlood of the blain lie heavily on the souU oi David Davis, Stephen J. Field, Samuel Nelson, Uathan Clifford, and Robert C. Grier? We are not attempting to scan the legal aspects of the grave questions involved. We consider the cases In their direct, practical bearings, and we deplore the impunity they seem to give to crimes impelled by Rebel malice as a very seri ous obstacle to the restoration of the Union. We do not favor the requirement by Congress Cf a retrospective, plupenect loyalty. Iu view of all the facts, this seems illiberal and unwise. Albert Gallatin was said to have taken part in the Pennsylvania Whisky Rebellion; yet he aifterwards became one of our most honored and trusted statesmen. We believe many who were zealous Confederates are now hearty Unionists, und we must regret the denial to such ot auy opportunity to earn bread or serve the country. Let us have a bankrupt law for lhe hopelessly indebted, and something corres ponding to it for those who, having been Rebels, are Rebels no more. But every act, decision, or Movement which tends to foster present dis 3oyalty at the South to protler impunity to crime and outrage which have their impulse in malice engendered by the Rebellion or its over throw is a new and formidable barrier to re constiuction, and as such to be sternly resisted. Southern Destitution Measures for its Ucuer. from the Timet. We earnestly trust that the meeting last Fri. day will be but the beginning, and not the end, of Northern sympathy with Southern Buffering. It is to our disgrace that the matter Jias been so long delayed. We were told, as early us last fall, that there would necessarily l)e great distress and want in many of the States cf the South this winter. The statements made ty responsible public functionaries, and by the agents of the Freedmen's Bureau, as to the condition of things in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, aad even in North Carolina and Virginia, were such as khowed that there was a Jearful deficiency of the necessaries of life, and a widespread, helpless poverty. We see abuudaut reason also to believe that leading men of the South many of them being lhenibelves ruined and broken forbore to mike anv exposure of the facts, or any appeals for public help, because of a dread they eutertainod that Southern suffering would meet with jnockery rather than practical sympathy in the Jiorth. The Southern papers reproduced the vengeful utterances of malignant and stony Jiearted nittn and newspapers of the extreme wnti-Southern party, and these were accepted us evidences of the spirit that dominated the Jiearts of the Northern people. It must not be J Kit to the discredit of the South that human eellng still exists there, and that the character of the once proud race, now defeated aud wrecked, has vet In It a touch of the oM prlle. Naked and hungry, they have haUled foryurs wi'h the trlant power of tho Noith, and h i I sut tired an 1 bled until they fell w lih exhntion.

Hut still tli- lacs ca ne to iif in local newppapern, in tie lerters of cor refponocn p. In legislative reports, in sia-ia'lc ot relief iimiisheU, and in reports to General llcward. As winter opened and advanced, the unhappy anticipations ot the fall months were moie than real. zed. The scanty crops were round to be even 1"-ps capable ot upplving the want than had been pre tirtel, anil the poverty was found to be deeper and more widespread than bad been calculated, upon. There was a defi ciency both ot food and monpy, and industry was all nut ruined. The people In the country fled to the towns, and tho resi lent ot the towns could do but little to keep them. Vast numbers of widows and children, the haple-s relics of OonUderate soldiers, were found in a State like Alabama, for example to be living on the brink ot starvation, and with naught but winter and despair before them. Many of them found relief through tbe Freedmen's Bureau, but to thousands ot others there was neither relief nor hope. From hundreds of localities we have f-een accounts of thee things, and manv of tin m have been published and referred to from time tu tune in these columns. It is tearful to read of such thins in America: Amfrici, which cxistn in the imagination of the world astbt! land of plenty the land of burst ins pianaries tbe land ot corn and wine aud oil; America, which is ready to teed all the r. st ot mankind, and which necdB but to hear the cry of distress from any part ot the elobe to send lorth lis ships, luden with bounteous sup plies, to be distributed trcely to all who are needy. The sufferers in this instance, too, were our own countrymen and our own countrywomen. They were Americans born, aud beloimiug to the lately liauchty, lately rich, liitely "Sunny South." Years atr'o they were rebels, it is true, but well, should thnt steel us asrainst sympathy with Miflering, or lead those who dwell in abundance to look coldly on the distress of deso late women and children? We do not doubt, that now a movement for relief has been begun, there will be a prompt presentation of reliable reports to tho pu'ilic, ano Biicaeiiorts us win ui once im.i i uiv urici sities oi the case. The beneticence of out citi zens requires no other ttiuiulu than the knowledge that it is needed. President Johnson's Reliance Upon tlie SoutUern States. ' I'rom the Herald. We have the information from Washington that the President adheres strictly to his policy that he docs not intend to give way that while he eipects nothing but opposition from 1 Congress, he looks to the South to susraiu him in Lis position against the unconstitutionality of the reconstruction acts aDd movements of , the two houscp, and that as there ia no desire for a compromise on either side, except among the impotent few without influence or skill, the opinion begins to prevail that the shortest road to a settlement lies in the Thrall's plan of pushine through the work of this great revolu tion, even to Mr. Johnson's impeachment aud removal lrom otlice. The most important fact in this statement of the situation is the President's reliance upon the Southern States. In the Washiucton corres pondence of a Charleston paper (January 12) upon this poiut, it is said thai a political and intimate friend for many years of President Johnson hud a long and confidential interview with him some days ago, during which the President satisfied said triend that "even iu tha matter of recognizing the preseut rump Con gress, whijh 1 did not think he would, there were ample reasons to justify his course;" and that a "Texan, not one of the delegation, who saw the President tho day before yesterday, came away with profound und unexpected con fidence in his firmness;" aud yet again, that "it is pretty certain that the Supremo Court will soon decide that test oaths are unconstitu tional" (the decision has since been pro claimed) and that, further, the same court will, in the Alabama case (taxes not paid on the ground that tho Slate was iu a Temtorlid con dition) decide that States are States, not Ter ritories. From this testimony it appears that while the President relies upon the Southern States foi the success of his policy, those States rely upon the President to restore them to both houses of Cougrpss, iu spite of all that Congress has dono or may do to keep them out. How is this thing to bo done? The President, it is broadly intimated, contemplates a new ex periment. South Caroliua, for instance, is to be persuaded to try the impartial suffraueof Massa chusetts, to whites and blacks alike, ot a read ing and writing qualification, and is thus to elect a Legislature and loyal members ot Con cress. Tlie President is then to extend to the Rebels of South Carolina a general amnesty. The members thus elected to Concress are next to apply for admission, and Congress, it is thought, will not dure to reject them. All this programme proceeds, however, upon Mr. Jonn son's theory that South Curoliuu, under his legislative authority, and without the consent of Congress, is really restored to her rights as a loyal member of the Union: und it is just here that the shoe pinches. The real issue between him and Gonsrress is a question of rieht and power, lias he or has Couaress tho rigut and the power under the Constitution to reorganize a State destroyed or suspended in its functions as a State bv rebellion against the Constitution and the Uuiou ? Clearly the right and the power are with Congress. Mr. Johnson so stated the case in 1805 to some of his Provisional Gover nors, for the in'.ormation ot all, In proclaiming that all his proceedings in the reornnization of the Rebel Slates, in tae nb-ence ot any expres authority lrom Congress, were merely provi fioual and subject to the approval or rejection oi uoncrcss. Ilud Mr. Johnson held fast to this sound doc trine, all would have turned out well between hmi and Congress. The pending Constitutional amendment, ' instead of being indignantly re jected, would have been grateiully accented by ull the Rebel States. In diverging to this other doctrine that the legislative power of the gene ral Government over the States and Territories belong to the Executive, and not to Congress, he committed a grievous blunder. In appealine from Congress to the people on this issue, and in then disregarding the popular verdict, he st ill further weakened himselt and strengthened the cause of Congress. In turnine now his back upon the all-powerful aud authoritative loyal States, und in staking his fortunes with the Rebel States in their defiant attitude auaiust Congress, he is only repeatine the disastrous lolly to himself and' his allies which marked the final strugule of Kins James the Second, in at tempting, through Ireland, the recovery of the crown of England. A decision' from the Supreme Court declaring Alabama as legally a State reinvested With her constitutional riahts will not help him, because an issue decided by war admits ot no appeal, it ts settled. But suppose the President, backed by the Supreme Court, shall assume the respon sibility to enforce its decrees as the head of the army and navy? A in this last resort ho would Und at least twenty-three of the loyal States Governors, LcpiHlatures, and people arrayed as a unit against him' the experiment will not betried;fora million Union veteran soldiers stand behind tho ultimatum ot Coueress on the issues settled hy the war. What, then, is to be the upshot of this rupture between the Presi dent and Congress, when it is apparent that the legislative department cannot surrender Its rightful authority, Hnd the Executive will not abandon bis assumptions? There remains no alternative but that provided in the Constitu tion lor the impeachment and removal of the President fromlhls oUlce. Mr. Johnson, then, must recognize and give way to the national law-making power over the State and Territo ries, Rebel oa loval, or be must be removed. It is the old quarrel between King and Parliament, as recorded in the blunders and iisfortunes of Charles the First and James the Second, and as the constitutional lowers of our President anil Congress are drawn from the Government oi lOi glnnd the remit of this contlict must be the snn e. The kmc most yield the powers whlen hcloiiB to Pa.lmmetit, or he must, he displaced. Ii Ih only bv the adoption of the one alternative (bat the other can be defeated. The Southern Aid Mrrtlng-. l rom the K'or.d The mei tliiB at the Cooper Institute last Friday evening was less pucces-lul as a tnerp meeting than we had hoped ; but it will answer the Oiily purpose which such a mee.ting can serve, that of culling general attention to the magnitude and urgency of Southern destitution. The great famine in Ireland, which canned the charity of New Yolk and other American cities to gush forth In such abundant stream, near twenty years ago, had less in tt to touch commisera tionto say nothing of tbe fact that the preseut sufferers are our countrymen. There are large areas In the 8tates of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, where the supply of food is Insuffi cient to last throtu'h the month of March, and cases were recited at the meetini of families who have already passed successive dajs without tood. lies ides the State mentioned, there it wide-spread dearth in tho two Carolinaa, and the whole areii ot destitution compiises hundreds ot thousand of square miles. Unless there Is early relief, on a larite Hcale. tens ot thousands of people must, before the spriuir bio-Boms Hppeur, die weekly ot star vation, and ol the diseases which tollow in the train ot 'limine, lhe almost total failure of the coin crop in several of the Mates, and the seaiitiness ol the other crops,' have brougut to the doors of the South a fpectre more hideous than the cariiauo of war. Respectable clergy men are lleeing from their parishes ou missions like that lor which reluctant Jucob sent the son of his old age into Kuy pt. We call attention toj he pictures of aistresh presented to tne meet inir in the remarks oi Rl-v. Mr. Bright and of Mr. Greeley. Henry Ward Beeclier was tho crack speaker of the evening, and we trust wo may never again listen to a crack speaker on a topic, which ap peals so touchingly to humane sympathies. We have heard Mr. Beeclier on many occasions, olten with amusement sometimes with admira tion; but we never hf urd him make a speech so misplaced as that of Friday niuht. It seemed to be hi aim to use this opportunity to atone to the Plymouth counregatiou for the Cleveland letter, which rai.-ed about his ears such afrtuzied howl last autumn. We could pardon his rant and his touches ol low comedy, if tho tpirit of his remark had not. jurred on ull the proprieties of the occasion. He Degan by asnecimif uliuiou to the gnat "Union-saving" lnectiuc ut Castle Gar den some sixteen year ngo.and proceeded to rake into the entiails of the defunct Fugitive Slave law, and tear open and cxpoe all the old poli tical wonuds mutually given and inflicted, between the North and the. South, from that day to this. Wo noticed that Mayor Hotrnian l and some other gentlemen n the stase very soon lett, probably not perceiving the connec tion between such a hurnnguo uud the objects ot the meeting. Thoe who fa', it througn h:id nn opportunity to discover that Mr. BVecher's chief argument lor relieving starvation iu the South was, that it wa a rctined method of in tlictinff revenge! He teemed rather to re joice, on the whole, and glorify God that famine had overtaken the South, partly because it atlorded an opportunity to practise what he was pleased to call "Chris tian veneeance." and partly because famine is n necessary means, in the Providence ot God, of couipelliiiir the lazy Southerners to leurn habit- of industry 1 He professed that he could not exactly see tho reason of this wise crdimnce; but some other divine mysteries, he said, are equally bejond Ins depth, which he exemplified by a' string of illustrations, lie did not know, lor insiauce, why every apple-blossom does not glow to be a lipe apple; he did uot know why all babies, "since they take the trouble to be born," do not grow to be men; und he quoted, as embodying some very deep philosophy, a scrap of tombstone literature, to the etlect that a wonder-struck lather, in coin posing an epitaph, did not see what his (lend child "was beaun lor," since he "was so soon ; done lor." But such silly buffooneries were the ; least objectionable part of Mr. Beechei's re marks. IIi Plymouth flock must be a cross between the wolf ami the tiiier, if they needed a labored 1 argument to prove to them that it is consistent w ith their Abolition principles to feed the starv ing ex-Rcbe!s. So far us Mr. Beecher's speech was argumentative at all, this was the sole drift of his' argument. Mr. Greeley's remarks deserve more com mendation. In following Mr. Beeclier, he beuan by administering a quiet and very neat icbuke, fcaying that there were so many topics which it was wise not to touch on fciich an occasion,- that he telt embarrassed let he should say something which had better be onilitcd; and he spoke for the first two or three minutes in amplification ot this thought. He s:iiil nothing which would not have been appro priate it it had preceded Mr. Needier insiead oi following him ; but the garment was so por- i tect a tit that Mr. Beecher's quick eye did not fail to catch his own image in the smooth minor. His whole face was suffused by a pro- loneed blub. He relieved himselt by fre quently whisperins pomcthing ioeose to General Andeison, who eat ou the platform at ! his side; but whether he was making fun of Mr. Greeley's manner, or amtisina himself with 1 other topics, the audience could not know. j Mr. Greeley's remarks were full of genuine i charity and practical gcod sense. His shamb i ling appearance, and Hat, uncouth delivery, were redeemed by an air of artless sincerity which ; secured the close attention of the meeting, and 1 was more impressive on such a subject than oratorical accomplishments could have been, bad Mr. Greeley possessed them. The Idea on ! which his speech was framed it an eli'usion no ; inartificial cau be said to be framed at all was, ! that the generous citv of New York needs no other persuasion to charity than to be made fully acquainted with the distress that requires relief. Putting out of view all tho political questions on which men differ, and every topic or re mem- brance which ha any brier ol irritation in it, be eave a clear nuu pertinent explanation of the present distressing condition of the South and ot its causes, and pointed out the means of relief w hich have the best chance to be effec tive. Nothing could be more considerate, human and judicious than his kind and clumsy remarks, which can grate on no man's sensibilities, either in the North or the South, and which assume that minds of ordinary geue lcsitv need no other inceutive to relieve their perishing countrymen than a faithlul descrip tion ot the facts. We trust the committee appointed hist Friday rduht will be prompt and diliorent, and tnat New York will set a noble example, which other Northern cities will nobly emulate.
