UoUI fluctuated in price during the lastweok J-oni 134 to 13!), showing what the spooula Jors call a foveri.su state of the market. The jiows from Kurope, and not auy domestic trouble, has been the cause, or rather the gold brokers and operators seized the opportunity afforded by the difficulties between Prussia aud France regarding Luxembourg for ere" ating an excitement, in order that they might gamble iu gold. If even thore should lie war in Kurope, that would be no good reason for any great change in the value of gold or stocks here. We should not be mixed up in such a war, and should pursue the even tenor of our way just the same. At firHt theYo might be a little disturbance in the ptock and money markets, through some of our securities being sent home; but this would be sli-lit and only temporary. In the end we ehould probably be benefited by a Hood of emigration aud money to this country. Bat there does not appear to be any ground now for fluctuations on the war idea. The latest news is more pacific. With regard to these nps and downs in stocks and gold, the truth is they are in the result of gambling, and are not produced by natural causes. Kvery event or circumstance, however trilling, is caught up and exaggerated for the purpose oi sending up or down the market price, and very often the most barefaced bogus news is invented and circulated for the same purpose. People should not be disturbed, therefore, by these fluctuations in Wall street, aud should not, unless they are in the ring, touch stocks or gold at such a time. Governor Jenkins The Fallacies of Opposition to Reconstruction. From th Herald. Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, has addressed to the people of that State from Washington an extra-gubernatorial manifesto, which we are glad to see is appreciate! at its true value ly the Georgians, who pronounce it trash. Odd ' notions of the relations of some great recent events dominate the Governor's reason. He remembers that Congress assures the world that the war was waged, not for the oblitera tion of States, but for the Union; and he Says, "With these ideas in your minds, in April, 18U5, you in good faith ceased resistance; laid down your arms, and made full sub mission." We may say iu all candor that "ceased resistance" is a good phrase; but it is not an accurate description of the forced surrender of Lee and Johnston that abso lute destruction of the power to resist that laid the South prostrate at the conqueror's feet many months after it had detiautly re fused to listen to all proposed terms; and yet Jenkins fancies the South has a right to claim those terms. There is a very ancient illustra tion exactly in point. The fisherman by the seaside piped all day, but the fish would not dance. Towards night he drew his nets, and as they came into shallow waters the fish hopped up and down at a very lively rate. "Aha," said the fisherman, "you will dance now, will you ? But you wiil find it will be to quite another tune." So the South should naturally understand and we believe does understand that, having held out till the last grasp, it cannot honestly claim what would surely have beeu conceded if it had accepted terms and laid down its arms at a time when resistance was still possible. Governor Jenkins advises his people to expeot support from the judicial department, whose decrees cannot be overridden by Con gress. Modern laws fortunately are not like those of the Medes and Persians. Ours espe cially are the expression of the popular pur pose, and grow with our growth. It is the office of the Supreme Court to interpret the laws that the people have made, to decide in disputed cases what was the true intent of the law-making power the people. But the appeal to the people is higher than that to the interpreter of their intentions; and if the Supreme Court shall decide that the laws already in existence must be construed as Jenkins claims, then Congress will merely make the case clearer by passing laws so distinctly expressing the popular will on reconstruction that misunderstanding will be impossible. Thus the course of Governor Jenkins is mere folly; and the South, in despising his teachings, shows a practical wis dom full of promise for the early re-establishment of law and order over the whole country. The South In 1807. From the Tribune. The Senate having adjourned, Henry Wil son has resumed the canvass which lie com menced at Petersburg, the last great citadel of the Rebellion, and will journey through the Southern States, speaking once or more in each State as opportunity may be presented. General Wilson was an earnest, avowed oppo nent of slavery long before the Republican party was formed, as he has since been one of that party's foremost ehampions. Bom to poverty, he has preserved that inheritance unimpaired; inured from childhood to labor and frugality, his education is that of the common people, but is such as only New Eng land and the communities sprung from her loins have hitherto proffered to the children of the poor. In his history, his character, and his con victions, General Wilson fairly represents and embodies that great party which has raised four millions ot our countrymen from brute chattelhood and law-guarded ignorance to the dignity of free manhood and the rights of American citizenship. llis journey south ward is designed to command the fundamental truths whereon the Republican party is based to the understandings of those who have hitherto heard of them only through the pre judiced misrepresentations of that party's enemies, and to the acceptance of all who would have true and lasting concord between the North and the South, based on universal justice and impartial freedom. They do grievously misapprehend us who imagine that "the radicals" would array the blacks of the South against the whites. Right is of no particular color; and genuine aristo cracy makes no more account of a man's hue than of his stature. Most men would rather be six feet high than five feet; yet those of the lesser stature, though in a certain sense unequal to their taller neighbors, have equal rights in the law's eye, and are equally enti tled to vote, to sit on juries, and to hold office ti a alarmed. If any class or race are gene rally unqualified to fulfil certain publio trusts, i. referred because of their supe- i n l iliiu&u pv r - ' THE DAILY .EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, j TUESDAY, rlor qualifications, which affords a gool reason for the preference not of their lineage, which affords no reason at all. The Republican party is to be organized in the South because it is eminently needed there. Its principles, fairly expounded and heartily accepted, will banish feuds and in sure general harmony. We have already joyful premonitions of "the good time coming" in "conservative" meetings to pre pare lor State organization, wherein whites aud blacks are mingled as officers and speakers, aud special efforts are made to win the suffrages of negroes. If any rogard these meetings with disfavor because they are calcu lated to win votes away from our tickets, we do not. Since our principles triumph, what mat ter if our party suffers? There are many blacks who are in kindly relations with their old masters, who still employ them, on whose estates they iive, and whom they havo ever regarded with ad miring pride and affoctiom These will pro bably vote with those old masters, provided they feel sure that this does not involve voting against themselves and their children. We ; look, therefore, for a considerable negro vote i for the conservative tickets, mainly in the ' more secluded rural districts, where the Re- i publicans are known only through the incul- j pations of their adversaries. Still, the law of I gravitation everywhere vindicates itsolf as I truly in the ascent of a balloon as iu the fall of a stone and our adversaries can only secure black votes by a very olose approximation (in profession, at least) to our principles. Our loss of a few seats in Congress and other oflice3 will thus be bounteously compensated. Wendell Phillips lectures this evening in Brooklyn on National affairs. It is his custom to speak disparagingly of Henry Wil son to characterize him as a trimmer, and even as unfaithful to the cause of impartial freedom. We would not retort these imputa tions. Mr. Phillips has won wide and endur ing renown by his life-long and unselfish de votion to the cause of the slave. To assert that he has often erred in his manner of com mending the cause, ia only to say that he is human. Had it pleased God to make him more charitable and considerate, enabling him to see that those who differed from him were not necessarily cowards nor villains, ho might have done the good cause better service ; but then it is high praise to say that he has done what he could. Knowing Henry Wilson inti mately, we are sure that his devotion to human liberty has been as thorough as that of his defamer ; while w judge that it has been decidedly more practical, and thus more efficient. There are beings mean enough to insist that Mr. Phillips has beeu well paid for his anti slavery lectures, just as there are those who will say that General Wilson has achieved and retained desirable positions by his anti-slavery politics. We despise these diverse detractors with equal heartiness. Mr. Phillips need not have been an Abolitionist in order to attraot large and paying audiences; and General Wil son renounced the party which steadily ruled Massachusetts, and seemed likely to rule her forever, in order that he might more effectively uphold the equal rights of man. Let each have his meed of honor; for each has de served it. Cannot Mr. Phillips be persuaded to traverse the South and address her people ? He would, of course, have large audiences, with rare op portunities for doing good. Though he has never yet supported a Republican candidate for President, aud has rarely spoken of any act of the party otherwise than in disparagement or deprecation, he would be heard with in terest by the Southern Republicans, and might give them timely counsel. We believe he might learn something useful during a few weeks of free conference with the Southern people of all classes that he would return more considerate, therefore more influential, than he went. May he not be induced to make the experiment ? The Senate Close of the Kxtraordlnary Session. from the Times. There was a good deal of work done at tha extraordinary session of the Senate, which came to a close on Saturday night. The greater part of the three weeks of its existence was taking up in manoeuvres on the great offico holding question; but even that matter was dealt with in a more satisfactory manner than appeared possible at one time. The more practical Senators, having seen that irreparable aamage resuu to tne public service irom an indiscriminate refusal to confirm the nominees of the President, wisely concluded to confirm as far as possible, instead of rejecting as far as possible. It is true that there were not a few exceptions to this course, and some of them very discreditable to the Senate; but, nevertheless, it may be said, particularly during the last week, to have formed the Senate's rule of action. A few days before the adjournment, Senator PeBsenden informed us that the Senate had confirmed eighty-Jive per cent, of the President's nominees; aud although the confirmed parties were not in every instance the first choice of President Johnson, yet it may be surmised that in all cases they were tolerably satisfactory to him. It was certainly quite as natural that the President should decline to make appoint ments of men who were bitterly hostile to him tself and his administration, as that the Senate bhould decline to confirm men who had been prominent in denunciations of Congress. And it seems to be a reasonable, even if it be not an iltogether accurate, mterence from the position of both parties, that the offices would fall into the hands of persons whose partisanship was of the less violent order, and that thus the public xervice would be benefited. This remark, doubt less, requires modification, by the consideration that a system of compromise, as regards in dividual appointments, was established be tween Senators and the Executive. It is so gratifying, however, that, through all difficul ties and antagonisms, the practical work was finally done, and mny most excellent ap pointments made aud confirmed, that we do not feel inclined to be unnecessarily critical as to the minor details ot the business. The sweeping charges of bargaining and corruption made by the organ of Wendell runups are not worthy of a passing thought. .besides its struggles in the worK oi appoint ments, the Senate did a most excellent thing at this extra session in confirming the Seward treaty for the cession ot Russian America. It was the first business which the President laid before it three weeks ago; and though at first a large majority of members were opposed to the ratification of the treaty, it only required a week's consideration to secure all but unani mous assent. This action alone gives import ance and significance to the session; and the fact is already discerned that it has bearings which promise to bo widely and deeply felt in times to come. . There were no less than three propositions from as many Senators during the brief ses sion in favor of the mediation of our Govern ment between the belligerents in Mexico. When it is noticed that these came from such men as Senator Johnson, of Maryland, Senator Bumner, of Massachusetts, and Senator Hen derson, of Missouri, it seems remarkable that none of them received favorable consideration. We regard the circumstance as a most unfor- ! tunate one for Mexican interests, and not at all favorable to our own interest. We feel confident, however, that if not now, then before long, our Government will be compelled to take notioe of Mexican affairs, and institute a vigorous policy in regard to that oountry. We take a totally different view of the propo sition that was mado by a Senator at the closing hour of the session, in favor of our Government mediating between France and Prussia in the matter of Luxembourg. It is just as well that this idea was introduced to the Senate at the moment of dissolution. On the whole, it must be said of the Senate and its labors at this session, that in ceasing to assault and thwart the Executive that in cooperating with him in carrying on the pub lic service that in confirming the Russian treaty, and working in general for the publio interest, there have been ends subserved of no little Importance to the American people. A Final Fling from the Free Traders. We transfer to the columns of Tub Evbnino Tblkgraph the following timely and excellent article upon the proposed Republican cam paign in the South from the Iron Aye, and heartily endorse every word of it: Our readers are aware that a Committee of Republican members of Congress is at present in session at Washington making arrange ments for the political organization of the States lately in rebellion, and the distribution among the Southern people of documents de signed to give sound and correct information on the great questions of publio policy which are now of special interest to them. Among the documents solicited by this committee for exten sive circulation in this way, were the speech de livered by Judge Kelley in the House of Re presentatives on the national policy, and the argument delivered in the Senate, by Hon. Senator Cattell, in favor of the Tariff bill of last session. We printed considerable extracts from both these speeches in the Iron Age, and drew attention to them, as exhibiting in a remarkable degree the characteristics at once of profound statesmanship and practical good sense, admirably suited to the exigencies of the times, and, rising above class and party considerations, expounding eloquently aud lucidly the great principles which lie at the foundation of national greatness and national pi OHperity. No documents more wisely suited to the industrial condition of the South disorgan ized and impoverished as it is could possibly have been issued by the Congressional com mittee; nor could they have expended the funds confided to their care with greater judg ment or advantage than in giving them circu lation; but we find by the Evening Post of Monday last that their doing so has excited the wrath of that small section of loyal Ame ricans represented by the Evening Post, which maintains its connection with the Republican party, and yet, with utter inconsistency, advo cates the doctrines of British free trade. In the article to which we refer the Post delivers itself as follows: A friend, a radical Republican, has sent us two of these documents, which he tel-8 us are now f-eut by the Republican Committee at Washington broadcast over the Southern Htates ns Republican documents. One of them Is a speech of William I). Keiiey, of I'ennsylvmilii, inlavorof a "protective tarlfl';'' the other Is u speech of a Philadelphia meichnnt, Uenator Cut tell, of New Jersey, also In favor of a protec tive tariff. This trush, In favor of a measure which tne euoimouM Republican majority in the last Congress deliberately, and iu spite of the most strenuous efforts or Its friends, put under the tnble, is now secretly circulated us Republican sentiment and policy, by the Re publican Document Committee, with money subscribed by Republicans, A more outrageous swindle has not come to our attention for a long time. The circulation of these speeches by the Re publican committee is an ussertlou that a pro tective tariff is a part of the policy of the Re publican party. Of course, such an asser tion is a lalsehood. The protectionist policy has never been approved or put into a platform by any national Republican convention. It has not the approvui of one-half or even one quarter of the Republican rank and file. It would be difficult, even for the Post, to compress into the same space an equal amount of falsehoods deliberate and palpable false hoods, we are constrained to think. The first and most conspicuous is the state ment that "the Protectionist policy has never been approved or put into a platform by any National Republican Convention." The Post knows very well that the Chicago Republican platform of 180'0, on which Abrahanf Lincoln was first nominated to the Presidency, con tained the following resolution, written, we believe, by the pen of the first and greatest of the advocates ol American industry: That, while providing revenue for the support of the general Government by duties upon im ports, sound policy requires such an adjust ment of these imposts us to encourage the de velopment of the industrial interests of the whole country; aud we commend that policy of national exchanges which secures to the woiklngmen liberal wages, to agriculture re munerating prices, to mechanics und manufac turers AT Allenllll! A rwuvrl fi-i 1 1, a) w a Ir 1 I 1 1 . -.t,i. and enterprit.es, and to the nation commercial piospeilty and independence. And although the principle of Government "encouragement" to domestic production is here distinctly declared in a way that never was doubted nor misunderstood, yet the Post Hhsmelessly declares that it was never ap proved by any National Convention ! As false is the allegation that "the lafct Congress deliberately, and iu spite of the most strenuous efforts of its friends, "put under the table" the Tariff bill. It is (mite true that the Jinesse of a few members of the late Congress (probably including the "radical Republican" referred to by the Post as its informant), did succeed in baffling the great majority of that body, and so delaying the measure as to necessitate its eventual post ponement until the next session: hut that. t.h Evening Post, with the fact before its eyes that both Houses of Congress did, by more than two thirds majorities, pass bills, each largely increasing the tariff duties upon imports, should gravely assert that it was "put under iauio uy an --enormous Kepublican ma jt my uoes evidence such a capacity for un- .unuuig jiwNeiioou as, we coniess, surprises us.
