From the N. Y. Timet.
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. I It - .. ir. ...in . .
roHpecumie uiiuuin mw. xio win lane one
fourth of the whole Democratic vote in every
Northern and VjBtern btate. 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

we understand from icllnhle unt horit v Unit in

sold at this price to a tingle Ann atone lime.

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,

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.
We commend to the law officers of the Gov
ernment a careful examination into the man
ner of these whisky sales. How are they
managed f
