Gold Gambling In Wall Street.
from the Herald.
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 n l iliiu&u pv r - '

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. No allegation more palpably untrue
