Whatever be the result of the refarenoe of the Kentucky credentials to the Eleotioa Com mittee, the fact of the referenoe on the ground assigned ly General Logan forms preoedent that cannot safely be recognized. ' A apeolflo accusation against an individual applioant for a seat, aa urged by Mr. Sohenok in the case of Judge Young, is, tm its face, regular and just.!' Mr. McKee, the contestant, haI filed a protest, preferring, among other charges, that of disloyalty; '.and though Mr. Young repels the Accusations in their order with a clearness that looks not tinlike truth, the House had no alternative but to make the matter the subject of inquiry. General Logan, however, V introduced an altogether differ ent element into the question. Without specifications of any sort to rest uponwith out evidence that ' the 1 seat of any member other than Mr. Young's ,1s . disputed by hid opponent, or called In question by any portion of his constituency, General Logan laid down the principle that the State itself may be dis franchised, because the politios of its people do sot come up to his standard of loyalty. "lie was not willing to sit there and allow any man to take the oath when he knew that that mem ber's constituents were disloyal, and would send no other kind of man to Congress if they could avoid it." Bo he is reported to have spoken. 1Mb action was predicated, then, not upon the known disloyalty of the "Kentucky delegation, bnt upon the presumption ' that they are disloyal, because that is the alleged character of the prevailing , sentiment is the State. -I . It is not surprising that Mr. Bingham pro tested against a doctrine that would enable Congress not merely to exclude objectionable members, , but practically to disfranchise any. Btate whose party affinities may diller. rom those of the majority. - The wonder is that the House entertained a proposition which assails the fundamental right of States to representa tion.. For if General Logan may to-day de prive the Kentucky members of their seats by the bare assertion that their State is disloyal, what shall hinder some other member, to morrow, from shutting out New York, or Con necticut, or Indiana, if the complexion of its Toting be not agreeable to the party dominant in Congress? Mr. Speaker Colfax professes to have found a justification for the wholesale reference in the adoption of a similar proceeding last Con gress in regard to Tennessee, i But. the oases are not analogous. Tennessee was one of the States 1 excluded by their own aots from the privileges of the Union. It had been, to all Intents and purposes, a Rebel State. , And its exceptional treatment in respect of readmls sion arose in part from the loyal character of its Representatives.. , The Committee on Elec tions . was, therefore, the proper' tribunal to determine the facts on whioh the question of admission or xolusion depended.'. The posi tion of Kentucky affords no room for this issue. It never was out of the Union.' Its population contributed largely to the Rebel armies; , no doubt it largely sympathized with the Confe racy; and it is certain that the Democratic party, who were victorious in the last election, evinoed a disgraceful preference for candidates who in spirit, if not in the body, warred against the Union. Inasmuch, however, as the State never forfeited its rights as a member of the Union, the Speaker's acceptance of General Logan's dogma on the plea that a precedent had been set in the oase of Tennes see, falls to the ground.. The question derives much of its import ance from the known desire of an extreme party to bring Kentucky, Maryland, and Dela ware within the range of Congressional inter ference. Against all the charge of disloyalty is preferred ; the circumstances relied upon to Sustain it being their failure to grant negro suffrage and the non-disfranchisement of citi zens alleged to be disloyal. Behind and above all is the support they render to the Demo cratic party, and the continued election of ob noxious representatives.. Hence the might of Congress is invoked to "rehabilitate" these States on the basis of negro suffrage; to be coupled as some ' contend with a scheme of disfranchisement akin to that which breeds disaffection and danger in Tennessee. Gover nor Brownlow, too, relies upon Congress for help, if. notwithstanding his usurpation and his unlawful plans, the people refuse to re-elect him. .-. , We are not at liberty to scout these propo sals and pretensions as absurd, and therefore nnworthy: of serious notioe. That they are monstrous, judged by a constitutional stand ard, cannot be denied; but they are in no degree worse than the precedent inaugurated by General Logan in reference to the Kentucky representatives. To impugn the right of the constituencies in a State within the Union to Bend whom they please subject only to the testa ' already established is, in effect, to reduce the States to the grade of provinces, over all the affairs of which Congress may exercise jurisdiction. If this be acquiesced in, the -proposed work of "rehabilitation" , may be expeoted to proceed without let or hin drance, . We indicate the danger broadly, but with out 'any belief in its imminence. It shows what would be if certain extremists obtaiued the mastery, rather than what is in any way probable. The measure introduced again by Mr. Sumner, and the ground assumed by General Logan, are proofs sufficient of the ex istence of a tendency to make loyalty a pre tense for overthrowing the most sacred rights of States within the Union. On the . other hand, the proceedings of the last few days have established both the ability and the pur pose, of large Republican majority to dis countenance extreme measures, and to hold in check the men who promote them. The game good sense and moderation which carried the present reconstruction scheme over the nitimi of the ultraists, have evinoed their purpose and power by the passage of resolu tions limiting the business of the session to the single question of amending the law. It ia evident from these resolutions that the strength of the dominant party is not on the side of violent or wanton unconstitutionality. m i)a th nontrolliue element of the party. wa look with confidence for the restraining i..Ai. which rash counsels and reckless intrigue render necessary, as well to save the party as to preserve the peace of the country. , .

The clash of arms drowned for a sea eon the war cries of party; but neither the Whigs nor the Jackson-Van Buren Demo crats of the South ever heartily fraternized with the disciples of Calhoun, who succeeded in 'rolling over them the Juggernaut "oar of Secession. An inundation, while at its height, submerges all old - landmarks, which, as it subsides, more and more distinctly reappear. Even of the old nulliflers, many are ready to say, "What to the use of seeking to gal vanize into life a dead issue f We honestly believed in State sovereignty as we believed in slavery; we believed it our right to secede from the Union, and ' that our safoty dictated that resort; but we staked that right on an appeal to the sword, and lost.

The Republican party has signally tri umphed at the last two Presidential elections, as also in the State contests of 180'5 and 18(i(5, by white votes almost exclusively. . We do not know that a single Lincoln elector was chosen at either election by blaok votes, nor that any Governor or Member of Congress owes his position to negro votes. It is sheer assumption that it may not Bucceed in 68 as it did instil), '64, '(J5, and '66. U. There is no proof but naked assertion tliat the blacks want one of their number placed on the Republican national ticket. The indications all point the other way. . in Wash ington city, in Mobile, and elsewhere, the blacks being urged to present negro candidates have declined, preferring whites as more expel rlenoed and better qualified. We hear of black claims to and demand of the Vice-Presidency only from whites. All we see and hear from Llscks Is adverno tor this assumption.

Short Session. - R m the Herald. ' , ' ' ; 1 ' " ' Congress seems inclined to praotical pur poses and moderate views, and its tone on the important Bubject that has induoed the sum mer session is suoh as will be satisfactory to the country at large. From! the strength of its position we. might have expeoted nothing less than the wise moderation exhibited in its persistent refusal to even hear the extravagant proposals and plans already sketched out by the revolutionary dreamers and agitators, who find that their occupation will be gone if they are nbt permitted to excite the country on some theme newer than the nigger. ' By distinctly shelving the class of visionaries who become dangerous only when Congress, by listening, sends their wildness to the country with a quasi indorsement, it gains the confi dence of the people, and will carry with it, in .whatever it does, the rubral support 'of the whole;nation.. , The people are disgusted with Congressional philosophy, and want no more of it, whether it comes irom Sumner. Wade or Stevens, whether it be a new nigger notion or agrarianism in any shape. ' They want buai ness, and a Reconstruction bill that will settle the country and do away with all possible ve toes by interpretation. i P I he - Committee on Reconstruction of the House has already agreed upon a bill, and presented it yesterday. The outlines given indicate a practical measure. First, we have a declaration that the military government is supreme in the Southern States, and that all other existing governments are superseded, or if continued are continued by the authority of the commanders, and subject to them for all : purposes; second, a clause declaring valid ' all acts of the commanders done under the laws hitherto passed; and, third, an obliteration of the Attorney-Qeneral'a interpretation on the question of the registry .of voters, making the law the guide of the registry boards, and giving those boards the - power to . erase any names already on the roll in cases in which there is reason to believe the oath was improperly taken.' 'Another clause puts it out of the ' power of the President to remove, at his own caprice, any of the military commanders. This last clause, taken with the previous vote sus taining the Generals, indicates how strongly they stand before the country, and how fully it approves of the energetic, earnest, and con scientious course they have pursued in the discharge of their high duty. With their acts thuB approved, and their position made more positive, they will doubtless go for ward in their important labors immensely encouraged and strengthened by such un equivocal evidences of , the national con fidence, i. ; Judging from only this outline of the bill, it is intended to present, it seems, sufficient for the purpose, and it should pass with only enough debate to try the strength of its seve ral provisions, that we may be sure it will not be so easily broken through as the former bills were. Such a bill passed, the main business of the session would be done, and Congress ehould adjourn with as little delay as possible. , Above all, it should waste no time and give occasion for no violent harangues or President making schemes on the topic of impeachment. With a satisfactory law and the commanders out of his reach, the President will be quite unable to throw any fresh obstacles in the way of reconstruction ; and as impeachment would be, therefore, unnecessary, even the disoussion of . it in Congress would do evil by stirring . fresh agitations and excitements to disturb the commercial and other relations of the country with European powers. . . . Tba National Banks Congress and the Currency. From the Herald. Twenty millions a year, devoted from the national income to a sinking fund, would wipe out the national debt in a century. No one advocates, however, such use of any portion of the national wealth; for men are unwilling to add any additional burden to those already borne by the country, even for so good a pur pose. Yet this very sum twenty millions a year is actually given away, not to wipe out the national debt, but simply to enrich the lucky politicians who own and run that mag nificent financial machine, the . national bank system. There never was such a piece of jobbery and robbery, suoh open plunder of the people, in the finances of any other nation under the sun. Common people understand common finan cial problems very well. If a mau goes into a shop and buys a coat, there is never any doubt in his mind as to which way the money shall go that changes hands on that occasion. If one rides up town in the cars, he knows that he is to pay Bix oents, and never has auy notion that the six cents is to be paid to him. Horses and wagons hired for drives on the road are never paid for by those who hire them. Whoever heard of one using a horse all day for his pleasure, and then declaring at night that the owner should pay him the amount of hire, and not he the owner? Though the people see all this clearly iu com mon transactions, they become blind to these same points when they occur in national finanoes; and it is the actual practice of the Government to reverse all plain problems of buying and selling,, as directly as if ther ' should make the seller pay the buyer. - lianla Vnwn 41... ..11 .1 c""""" mo ,uu use oi vueir capital in their ordinary daily business, and by their transactions with their customers they get their interest and profit on it; yet on this same capital on whiyh they are getting their daily interest and prollt the Government is paying them another full interest, and the people endure a burden in the taxes of twenty millions a year for this iniquitous purpose. Paper circulation is, in the first place, based on the fact that gold is in the vaults; and the paper ia not valuable in itself, but is only valuable as it represents that gold, and the psper is only good If orm may hnvr the -gold on demand, lint now the gold Is wanted to defend tho nation, is drawn out from the vaultsand a national promise to pay, pludning all the property ia the hind, is put in its place, and in ot sidoration of this the nation makes a law relieving the banks of the neoesMty of paying specie on demand. . It is a fair and equal exchange of one article of value for another. pThua the banks are enabled to keep their representative tirctilatlon afloat, td iret their regular interest and profit; yet at the same time they require interest from the nation as if it had not given a full equivalent for the metal loaned. '. If the banks am entitled to interest on the gold transferred to the Government, the Gov ernment is entitled also to interest for what it bna given as the equivalent of the gold, and which evidently answers the same purpose as the basis of their representative circulation. , Congress should destroy this game, and end this grand piece of demoralizing jobbery by the immediate passage of a law depriving the banks of the privilege to issue notes on its bonds, and cancelling the bonds themselves by issuing an equivalent amount of greenbacks in their stead. Thia wonld give a better cur rency, and would save some twenty millions a year to the tax-ridden people. r 1 " - The republican Prty in the South. from the World. , . r The same method of reasoning by . which the Timet undertakes to prove that the tide of pubjic sentiment in the South is running strongly in favor of the Republican party, would equally .prove, if transferred from politios 1 to ' geography, that the Mississippi river runs . north, and that future explorers may be expected to discover that it discharges its waters into' the Arctio Ocean. The Mia sissippi frequently, bends,, Jike an ox-bow, doubling itself into loops which lie, at diller ent turns, towards all the different points of. the compass, , In the, great bend above Cairo it flows for considerable distanoe due north, as it , does also at the bend near New Madrid, and, we believe, in several other places.' If a person should observe the river at these places only, and' at no others, he might draw a totally false Inference respecting its general direction, an error which, would, be. easily cor rected by a single glance at a map. Tbe Times' argument that the Southern people are . flowing towards the Republican party can no more survive ; a broad view of the situation than a notion that the Mississippi runs north could stand a look at the map. The Timet supports its opinion by five isolated fact?, gathered from the - whole vast area of the ten excluded States. , ' t act Erst, Governor urr'B speech, some tnree months ago, cus claiming connection with the Democratic party;, fact, second, . advice by a Southern journal too obscure or insignificant for the , Timet to name 'it, that the Southern people should proclaim that they will not train in the uemocratio ranKs; fact third, General Long- street's letter; fact fourth, a Republican (white men's) meeting in Charlottesville; fact fifth and last, an article in the Jaokson, Missis sippi, Clarion.'' And from . this formidable body of evidence,' representing the opinions of four Southern citizens plus the attendants of the Charlottesville meeting, the Times con cludes that the Southern whites are going over en masse to the Republican party. , , J'er contra ; There happens to be assembled in Washington, at the present time, a body of men calling themselves the Congress of the United States, who have met out of due sea son, as if in a great publio emergency, to legis late concerning these same political neo phytes and catechumens who, the Timet assures us, are becoming good Republicans. A glance at the doings and designs of this Republican Congress is as enlightening as a look at the map would be in disputed ques tions of geography. The limes' amiable view of the Republicanized Southern States must, we suppose, be very solacing, but Con gress "don't see it." If the mass of the Southern whites stand with one loot on the threshold of the Republican party, it is a queer sort of welcome that Congress is just now employed in giving them. Why is all civil authority forcibly subverted and the whole Southern people kept under the iron heel of military despotism, if the Southern people are freely renouncing the Democracy and all its works, as the Times argues f What is the need of all this formidable machinery of generals whom Congress thanks for thwart ing the people, military departments which are a territorial badge of subjugation, and armies extorting submission at the point of the bayonet, if the great body of the people incline to be such good Republicans f Why does Congress propose to give General Sheri dan and the others power to unmake and make all civil officers at their pleasure, instead of entrusting the Times' nascent Re publicanswith their election. If the 1'imes' view is correct, the fit thing for Congress to do, even as a body of partisans, is to repeal forthwith all the Reconstruction acts (instead of keying them up to greater rigor and severity), recall and disband the armies, and let the public opinion of the South have free course in reorganizing its local institutions. If the Times believes its own assertions about the' Republicanized South, it is bound to lift up its voice like a trumpet, and give Congress this advice. Why should all these hopeful neophytes of the political church be muzzled and kennelled and cudgelled aa if they were go many mad dogs r What is the purpose of this stark, self-exploded absurdity about a great ingathering of the South into the Republican party f It is evident that the broaohers of this pretense do not believe it; or if they do, let them prove their sincerity by advocating the immediate removal of all outside political and military pressure upon the South, and the full restora tion of local freedom. Until they thus indi cate their consistency, they must excuse our distrust of their motives. Their object is doubtless to discourage and disorganize the Democratic party by creating an impression that it can have no further hope of a Southern alliance. This game is as shallow as the pre tense on which it is played is deceitful, liven granting the premises, the expected disband ment of the Democratic party would not fol low. If the Southern .Rebels should all join the Republican party, its most formidable guns would be spiked by its inability to re peat its favorite charge that many Democrats sympathized with the Rebellion. Sympathized .with the Rebellion I a great portion of the Republican party would, in that oase, have fovyht for ft I In any event, the Rebellion with its causes and its consequences will have become a dead issue in our politics from the moment that all the Southern States are (on whatsoever terms) readmitted. What will be the party creed of the Republicans then r It would puzzle the shrewdest head in their ranks to tell. The principles of that party will all be buried in the same grave with slavery.

I would now say to any of the ownersot Lillie's bales, thai, In view of the preceding fuels, lliey leel the ueed of additional scurlly, 1 will ex change with them, ou lair leruie.givlnt: ineui all tha lute improvements, and the luoi eased security, wtilcu Is claimed to be beyond the reaoh of Burglars, until tome new system shall be developed lu the working Oi Iron, which would now seem hardly possible. Tact Vii. It Is true that tbe Bheel-Iron or ooramon baie, aa now ruude, under ordinary clrcntusiuncea (and when not crushed by the lull ot walls or timbers) usually saves the written matter, but If toe tire la se vere 11 bus to be copied, for the ink will auon lade out: besides, the sale Is twisted up and useless. Ills equally true that the Chilled-Iron Bafe saves the wrilleu mailer lu a perlect stale, thai It does not isde out or require copying, aud that the sale itself Is ready tor lurther use. Auy number or trials In tires, certllled to, prove these lucts, aud If any of the sale venders who are distributing secret, anouymous Circulars to injure the repulalluu ol LllAAK'ti bAFii are not satlshed with these statements, they can have the opportunity ot tenting by tire one of their own bafes with LILLIK'b, on equal terms, whenever they so decide. iACT VIII. In answer to tbe story circulated by Interested parlies, that Lillie's bale had goue up, aud had ruiued Lullle, vim., I would suy that ai no nine id the lust two years could Lllue&bou halt supply the demand I01 biles, and were uuaer the necessity uf loimiug a large stock company, with a very large tupilui, to mewl the demand! aud Mr. Lewis Liille, br., In now the president ot lliul couipauy, which is located ou the Leluwaie, lu Pennsylvania, ueur Kuslou, and Is ine largest bate Works probably lu existence, aud will be able to supply aU demands tor bales. Locks, Chllled-Lron Vaults, etc. In conclusion, I beg to call the attention of my patrons aud fileuus, and the public, lo the i'ucls here preseuteu, aud to say tbut I am very tuanklul tor rasl favors, and that I am prepared to Mrnhli LIL .lK'b .BIJHWLAK A Nil fjltJS ANL BLKulLAK I'llOOF bAFliJS, VAULT llOuHS, CUlLLJiU 1HOS VAULT'S and COM BIN ATLNiN LOCK (5, all at short notice, warranted to be the best aud cheapest In market.
