It really lsja wonder that this oountrjr ex isted so long as It dU, withont the direct aui and encouragement of black voters. It seem to he a well-authenticated historical fact, that the Republic did get on quite comfortably for something like eighty years, while the Hacks not only did not fight our battles nor control our elections. It Is true there were a good many things that were not ex actly as they should have been, but neverthe less the country prospered; the crops were good; the liberties of the people were protected; we went through one war with Great Britain and another with Mexico very creditably; commerce flourished; taxation was light; we paid our national debt; foreign nations envied ns, and we, in turn, and for the sake of keep ing np good fellowship, despised them and on the whole we got along very comfortably; and In all this we had no help from the blacks Lnt, on the contrary, devotea a great deal of our time to abusing them and whipping them and keeping them in slavery. But now we are told that bat for the nnpro We should go forthwith to eternal smash. The Tribune tells us that but for the blaok soldiers in our armies the Rebellion would have tri umphed. Our Union was saved from utter destruction onty by the invincible arm of the enfranchised slaves. The whites proved ut terly unequal to the task. And now nothing but black votes can save the Republican party from overthrow and the Union from ruin. l'ossibly all this is true; but we cannot jsay , its truth has ever been made quite clear to us. We honor the blaoks for what they did contribute to the success of the Union arms, but we cannot forget that they also lent a good deal of strength to the Confederate force. We believe it is true that no negro ever be-, trayed a Union man; but we are not aware that the negroes ever betrayed a Rebel sol dier. Treachery is net among the sins of the negro character; they are generally faithful to the side they happen to be with. And while we would have their merits and services fully acknowledged and rewarded, we are a little tired of hearing all the credit given to them for the defeat of the Rebellion and the salva tion of the Union. One reason, perhaps, of our weariness is, that we don't believe it all belongs to them. We cannot help thinking that some of it belongs to the white soldiers also. "If the blacks are not enfranchised," says the Tribune, "Vallandigham can beat General Grant for President." The Tribune evidently would not shed many tears over that result. But it is mistaken. Principle still counts for something among our white voters. Vallan digham did not carry Ohio when he rau for Governor two years ago, and yet the blacks of that State were not "enfranchised." White votes will still tell and on the side of the Union, too, in spite of the Tribune's croakings. The Next Frldcy The Drift of Pub . Ho 8ttt(lmt. From the N. Y. Time. The Democratic organs continue their ex ultations over, the result of the late elections. This is both natural and" proper, though it ueems to us a good deal overdone. Practically so far as offices go they have gained very little by them; their importance consists wholly in the evidence they afford of a change in the political sentiment of the country. The Democrats look upon this change as rendering absolutely certain the return of their party to power. In this we think they will be very much mistaken. We look upon it as much more likely to render that event impossible. The laW elections, in ' our judgment, will compel the Republican party to make General Grant their Presidential candidate. They dare not nominate anybody else, however much very many of their "leaders" would like to do 80. If Ohio and Pennsylvania bad gone Republican by as large majorities as they did two years ago, and if the fall elections generally had shown no abatement of Republican strength, the party would have felt reasonably sure of electing any man they might nominate, and probably Judge Chase would have been their candidate. Hut such a proceeding now would be by no means safe. The elections show, beyond all controversy, a revulsion in publio sentiment against the measures and policy with which Judge Chase is most closely identified, lie 4s more thoroughly committed to the principle of universal negro suffrage than any other publio man of equal prominence as a candi date; and that principle has been most dis tinctly and decisively repudiated in Ohio. It is all very well te say that the Republican party cannot abandon it that they must "fight on," and "rally afresh to theoombat," and "keep the banner of eternal Justice very high," and all that sort of thing. So it may, and so it should; but it does not intend to be beaten in the next election. The party does not see very well how the cause of jus tice and the rights of the negro are to be aided by the election of a Copperhead Presi dent; and it does not intend to permit any such result. It will go in to win, and it will nomi nate as its candidate the man who is most sure to be elected. No one can doubt, or fail to see, that the sentiment of the whole country points to Grant as that man. Nine-tenths of all the Republican journals and politicians of the country look upon hid nomination as ffn abso lute necessity, and as an equally absolute cer tainty. Pour months ago we said that the time waB not far off when "the very existence of the Republican party, as well as the welfare oi ine country," would be seen to demand his uuumiBuuu. was jusi as imperative a necessity men as it is now; but it wag not so generally seen ana known to be such, it needed the elections which have Just been held to open tne nation s eyes to the fact. Now General Grant, as the candidate of tin uu'uu nuu uojiuumvuu jjivjr, win come nearer to being elected unanimously than any other man since James Monroe. The Dam party cannot put in nomination any man who can hold the field against him, or get even a .-11.

Indeed, we do not reeard it as by any means certain that the Democratic party would nominate a candidate against him; but the result would be the same in either case. Nor will it be at all affected bv the nomination of a radical candidate, through such a movement as was attempted at Cleveland in iou againm air. Lincoln, fiuch a nomination would swell the vote which Grant would receive from the Democrats, far mow than It would weaken the Republican Oeimral Grant's eleotiorf we haU regard a4 the crisis and -contamination of .the Union movement, which began w.tU the war against secession, ind which still remains unaocom-r-llhhed. He has the confidence of the whole country of all the people in all sections and of all parties. No man on, even in thought, impugn liis patriotism, or doubt his absolute and complete devotion to the Union cause. It would, perhaps, be too much to say that but for him the Rebellion would have triumphed for we cannot admit that its sup pression depended upon any one man but certainly no one man did anything like so much as he to effect its defeat and overthrow, liis services in the war, his faith in the Union, his steady, unfaltering perseverance in tfnj measures he deemed essential to sucoeas, the calm self-reliance, the undisturbed equanimity with which he met reverses when reverses came, and prosecuted the war to the glorious victory by which it was finally crowned, have given him a hold upon the people of the whle country which no intrigues of party can in the least disturb. His position on the various questions which have disturbed and divided the country is one which will vindicate itself against malevolent or factions assault from any quarter. When the war closed ho urged the most speedy restoration of the Union, consistent with the principles on which the war had been waged, and which the victory had established as essential to the peace and safety of the country; and he has never ceased, from that time forward, to press upon the South the ' acceptance of the measures which would con duce most promptly to the attainment of that end. ilis publio views are not, in the slightest degree, the result of his passion or his reseut meut; neither party feeling nor personal interest has any share in the formation of his opinions or the guidance of his conduct: he acts solely from a calm conviction of what is required for the public good. Neither radical nor conservative, in his opinion! or his acts, so far as those words have acquired a party meaning, he has the confidence of all parlies in the integrity of his motives, the unselfish-, nens of his views, and the practical, straight forward character of his mind. His election would disarm all hostilities, and induce a cor dial cooperation of all classes and all parties in the great work of the practical reconstruc tion and restoration of the Union to more than its old harmony and prosperity. After great convulsions like that through which we have just passed, there comes a time when party resentments lose their fervor and their force when the contending seas grow calm from weariness, and when men are glad to seek again the peace and rest to which tley have been strangers so long." Great communi ties, after long contention, are often glad to abandon the hope of settling their troubles by the strifes of faction, and are only too glad to put their trust in some one man, who has challenged their admiration by his ability, and commanded their confidence by his fidelity and unselfish devotion to the publio good, Suou a moment has arrived for us. The people of ims couniry, disgusted by tne unseemly and profitless wrangles of the last two years, hope less of reaching national union through the violence and bitterness by which they have been marked, will be only too glad to place at their head so tried and so true a leader as General Grant, liis administration will dis solve hostile parties, and lead inevitably to new organizations and new combinations better adapted to. the emergencies of the times than those which, have already outllvd their 'day. and are rather hindering than aid ing the great work which the necessities of the day demand. Can Ravonstructiom Bo Ilevaraeil 1 Fi cm the JV. Y. Tribune. Some of our Democratic friends are working themselves into the belief that the reconstruc tion policy adopted by Congress can be re versed, and the law3 passed last winter for the organization of State governments on the basis of impartial suffrage can be repealed, by De mocratic victories this fall. Suppose the victories won, what would be the result f No members of either House of Congress can be elected until 1808. It would be in vain to ask the present Senate and House to repeal the laws which by a twe-third vote they have adopted, and return to the President's policy of reconstructing the South on the basis of the white vote only, mne-tentns ot whion are Rebel and nro-slaverv. For nearlv two vear3 alter President Johnson came into power, the ? policy of reconstruction on the white vote only was fully tested, its lruits were the black codes of South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, and other States, for the recnslavement of the freedmen, debarring them from owning lands, hiring houses, disposing freely of their ser vicuh, and providing them the kuout and the iasu as a substitute for wages, aud the ruin live oiave jaw, wim ns uiooauouuds, as a remedy for discontent. Laws were passed by the Legislatures and municipal governments elected by the white vote only, disarming the colored soldiers who had fought for the Unionj taxing severely all occupations followed by colored men, limiting their right to testify as witnesses in courts, and to meet in public assemblies. Not a single law providing for the education of freedmen was passed. Acts abolishing slavery and repeal lug the ordinance oi secession were wrung from them only by moral coercion and under protest. But further than this none of them could be driven. Nowhere did they give equal, or any civil rights to the blacks. A black man must hire out for the whole year during the most disadvantageous season, viz., the first weeks in January, thus excluding him from all employments but agricultural and menial labor, lor in no others would employers hire for so long terms; he wa forbidden either to buy or hire a house or land, thus breaking up that first and. highest element of freedom, the family, and compelling all its members to live as menials in white families or lield hands on white men's plantations. If permitted to testify in court at all, it was before a judge whom he had no vote in electing, and a jury from which all of his race were excluded. Justice, to him, was an impossibility. A' different code of rights, of punishments, of taxes, was made out lor him from that which governed his white master. If the.se barbarous and oppressive laws needed enforcement, a Rebel sheriff was authorized to call upon a Rebel governor, who summoned into the field the same Rebel armies that surrendered at Appomattox, com manded by the same officer, and whose or ganization was continued under the name of State militias. The race-thuB sought to be oppressed were two-thirds of the people in Bouth Carolina, three-fifths in Mississippi aud Louisiana, and one third in the entire South. The blacks saw that their coveted liberty, pro claimed by Lincoln, was vanishing under Johnson's system of reconstruction. They cried out iu agony that their condition was tenfold worne than when In slavery. Then they had each but one master, and his heart might soften. ".Now," said they, "we serve a mob, and it is merciless." Negro-killing became the amusement of the chivalry. If a negro looked impudently, be was shot. If lie'dafed to be industtlons, his property wa burned. If he sought higher wgen, he was pent to Jail for idleness. If he got out of woik, he was sold as a slave. Fifteen hundred mur ders of negroes, for whioh nobody was ar rested, were reported in Texas. Daily, like murders were perpetrated, and went un punished, in every Johnsonized State. Tht Preedmen's Bureau aud our military officers were powerless to stop this incipient war against the black race. For want of the ballot, every means adopted to protect them was inadequate. Rebels aud Democrats were equally furious in denunciation both of the Freedmen's Bureau and of our military occu pation of the South, which were all that paved ibe trembling blacks from an immediate re turn to slavery, Ihe President, to stop the "irriiation" of the late Rebels, was too rapidly withdrawing the troops aud working to abolish the Bureau. Before tlio freedmeu there were but three alternatives the ballot, exteiminationor slavery. All sensible men saw that partial suffrage was perpetual war, and that white suffrage nu-ant a war or races. President Lincoln on numerous occa nions, and President Johnson iu his letter to Governor Sharkey, had recommended that the suffrage be given to all blacks who could read and write. The South received the proposition with greater scorn than it afterwards showed towards universal suffrage. Evidently.it was in vain to look to the white vote of the boutu for the remedy. That was itself the disease. There was no remedy save in Congress. That body could not have proceeded with greater deliberation. It proposed to the white vote of the bouth a scheme by which It might sua rule the South absolutely, provided it would consent that each Northern man's vote should have the same weight in electing Representa tives to t;ongress as that or each southern voter, and that cert.iin'classes of Rebels should not hold Federal offices. The South rejected with scorn any proposition by which they could not send Lee and Davis to the Senate or vote for them for the Presidency. They de manded with equal hauteur that their old pre rogative of voting not only for themselves but for the biacKs should not be lnvaiea nay, should be enlarged by emancipation, so that the whites who formerly voted lor tnreo-iiith3 of the blacks should now have added to their aggregate vote the power of one full vote for every colored man at the bouth, whether that colored man should vote or not. ihey do manded that a white Rebel South Carolinian's vote should not only vote down two loyal dis franobised black South Carolinians, but three New lorkers, making five in all. Still Congress deliberated for another year. until the unmistakable voice of the people in condemnation of the President's policy, and the culmination of the outrages of the white suffrage system In the negro massacres at New Orleans and Memphis, compelled them to enact by law some Inst and statesmanlike plan far restoring loyal governments to tho bouth, and the Southern States to Congress. For two years the white vote had been only renewing rebellion, restoring slavery, ana "organizing hell." What the South needed was a new constituency in love with freedom and loyal to the Union. Congress dalled it into exist ence by extending suffrage to the blacks. Itn mediately the Impending war or races was changed to a wondrous scene of killing and cooing, in which leading Rebels vied with each other in accepting the. situation, and in patron izing and instructing the black vote. As uy magic the negro-killers desisted from their onivairuun puieuii, nub nuuwiug uuw buuu blacks might have the lawful power to punish them. Legislatures allowed blacks to testily. The stream of justice began to lave the sweat ing brow of oppressed labor. The thought of restoring slavery was no more. In all but the mere fui inula of electing State governments, and admitting representatives to Congress, the South was at peace, the ballot was peace! What if a President is soured because the peace did not come by his plan, and did come by another r hat ir some thousands oi lag gard Republicans fail to come to the polls aud vote to sustain these results as they ought to f Does that mean that the nation has decided to reverse impartial suffrage, the very promise of which, discounted in advance by ine wuoie South, has brought peace ere yet a ballot ha3 been cast 1 Does it mean that we are to con sign the black race, and with it the white, of the South again to Blavery 1 By no means ! The Democratic party can as well repeal emancipation or the Declaration of Indepen dence as impartial suffrage. Whatever may be the course of future elections, reconstruo tion will, beyond peradventure. go on in the manner enacted by Congress, and a refusal to cooperate therein by the Rebel vote oi tne South will onlv result in their self:exclusion from all offices and power in the State and National Governments. If they by their iu action voluntarily hand over the government of their States to the blacks, theirs be the blame. We have reason to believe the blacks alone would prove ouite as good governors as the whites alone have been. They certainly could do no worse, either for the South or for the Union. How la it Donl From the N. Y. World. The World asked us a question the other day which deserves an answer, CI Hug the faot tbat the law forbids the sale of wlilHky, which may been aelzed by the Government, for less than the amount of the tax Imposed thereon, aud as suming tl-75 to be the highest prloe it bai touched since March last, the World Is "ourlous to know how the large amount of condemned whlnkyln Urooltlyn and New York has been disposed of," Inasmuch us the tax is $2 on each tcallon. The World la mistaken In assuming that 81-7o is the highest prioe that whliky baa reached slnee March. It reached $2 for a few days very noon after the organization of the .neijiijuumu ivevenue iioaru. How the sale of eel.ed whlslrvhnn been dis posed of In New York, we are not aware; but we understand from icllnhle unt horit v Unit in Urooltlyn every eallon thul ins hmm H.ild at all 1ms been sold for ii, and that 60,000 gallons were sold at this price to a tingle Ann atone lime.

Kvi ry gal lon sold by authority ol the Government Is thus a proof gallon, and for every gallnu thus sold in Brooklyn, ihe full pilco of $J been obtained. We cannot., u vt mmwt;r the World's inquiry lu regard to Now Vark, hut presume tne raots will be fouud to be tue same. -inius. Mr. Courtney writes us a note to say that he is informed by Marshal Mnrravthat all whisky sold by decree of the Court has been sold at $2 per gallon, and some as high as tf2-H5. He adds that every gallon sold, by order of Court, is a proof trallon. aud at least $2 per gallon has been naid. The statement in the Timet being, we infer, on the authority of Mr. Tranv. both the Dis trict Attorneys aver that for verv gallon of whisky sold in their respective districts, on orders of Court procured bv them, not less than two dollars per gallon has been paid to me Marshal. This statement, it will be seen, doeB not answer our original iunuiry. "how is it done ?" Iu order that the publio may. at the Outset, get a full view of the bearings of the matter under consideration, we quote two sections of me aci oi congress of March a, lbo: Hue 21.

It is clear that by this legislation Congress intended to prohibit and prevent every con sumer in this country (whether as a beverage for other purposes) lrom getting a gallon of whisky for a less sum than the amount of the tax. No matter whether the policy be wise or Unwise, the Federal Legislature In tended that by means of no bogus sales, pre tended contracts, or any manner of indirec tion, should anybody, anywhere, get a proof- gallon of spirits for less than two dollars. And to be consistent, congress provided mai if the Government fell into possession of any whisky, it should be destroyed rather than be sold for less than the tax. The practical effect of the twenty-first sec tion of the law which we have quoted is that market lists or price currents give the price of whifkv out of bond, or "elsewhere than in a bonded warehouse." The much extolled fin their own estimation") Revenue Hoard has not been able by three months' effort to make it safe for dealers in whisky to give publicly the price, "tax-paid I" If we believe the market reports, there is no consumption of whisky, it being never out oi bond, inis state of things, while it makes it somewhat ... . -. . . . if i difficult to establish the market prioe in New York of a proof gallon of whisky, makes it at the same time clear that it does not bring $2. We have, howeves, satisfied ourselves by undoubted testimony, drawn from many sources, that the prices of free whisky have this year ranged as follows : In June, ?i-lo to Sfrozj. In July, n-55 to ?!)!. In AuguBt, $1-45 to $1-00. In September, 1-52 to $Du"5. Ibe dates are suggestive. Ihe law was passed in March, and the Revenue Board organized June Ul. Now, unless all the condemned whisky in New York and Brooklyn, amounting to many thousand gallons, sold previous to the first day of this present month, was sold on the "very few days" in July when the prioe lumped uo to 2 05. the publio will be as curl ous as ourselves to know now u can ue mat a Government auctioneer could sell at a prioe so far above known prices in the street. We pass by the laughable commentary upon the way the Metropolitan Board reforms matters, which is afforded by the claim, that the Government cannot at a sale get more at the end of seven months' effort than the tax a circumstance holding out bright hopes for all honest distillers, under Mr. Mcculloch' administration I it wo wore united what motive the Judicial or executive officers, Including district attor neys, marshals, and informers, can have to get up sales which are bogus, and in fraud of the spirit and letter of the law, we reply that unless a sale for two dollars is reported, the whisky must, at the end of three months, be destroyed; and if destroyed, these officers lose their large percentages of the value of the confiscated property. We cannot come to any other conclusion than that the replies of the District Attorneys are superficial, so far as the gist of our inquiry is concerned, and that, upon probing the mat ter deeply, they will find it necessary to ad mit that whisky demoralization has reached the sales referred to. Can it be that the Dis trict Attorneys who, on the Revenue Board, had to deal daily with the fact that whisky was selling for less than the tax, never won dered how it happened that the whisky in which they were interested could be sold for a sum equal to the tax ? Did it never occur to them to ask for a record of the sale3 and as certain who were the purchasers 1 It cannot be that, under the twenty-ninth section, it would be tolerated by the law officers that in formers should, out of their share, settle with the purchaser for the difference between $2 and the market price, any more than such humbug would be permitted, as between private pur chasers, under the twenty-first section.
