Aa Ohio corre?ionilt'nt of the Chicago in
l,n", disvufMiig the lesson of the late elections,
Educes the Bhortoomiiigs of Congress, as well
as the Wanders of local managers, as the causes
Of disaster.
In Ohio, aa iu California, and now again in
this Flat, tLtf l0l ftI organizations appear to
litre di."l'IJ',J remarkable indifference to
ilia moral sense of the Kepuhlioan party. The
corri'i'!leut f 'ur radical contemporary
thrges that iu Ohio, in many instances, the
worst men were nominated for' office "Gov
ernment plunderers and political outcasts"
from whose support the best elements of the
party naturally recoiled. In the writer's own
county, a quartermaster who had been con
futed and dismissed the service by court
juartiid was awarded a conspicuous position on
the ticket, and in other counties the character
Of the nominees is alleged to have been vile.
Another cause of alienation has been the
proscription of the soldiers in the organiza
tion of the county tii kets; while the Demo
crats adroitly acceded them honorable posi
tions. To these local circumstances the Tri
lunn'1 correspondent attributes the defection
of thousands of Republicans, who refused to
lie participators in the degradation of their
party. Will not our New York managers
profit by the lesson while time remains to cor
rect the blunders which in some districts have
been committed? They may rest assured
that here, as iu Ohio, a large class of republi
can, voters will refuse to support the nomina
tion of candidates whose antecedents render
them unworthy of confidence. Party alle
giance ia not strong enough in these days to
carry through corrupt and dishonest nomi
nees; and any attempt to test the question
Will enure to the beuetlt of the Democrats.
15ut the correspondence of our Chicago con
temporary does not limit the moral of the
Ohio election to local considerations. These
Were sufficient, no doubt, to render intelligible
many of the changes in the composition ot the
btate Legislature ami the tilling of local otfioe-t;
but they represent only iinperlectly the influ
ences that have operated to the preju lice of
the Kepublican party. Any lesson upon the
Subject would be iueouiidrte that Jailed to
touch the discontent which has been occi
eioned by the refusal of Congress to satisfy
the demauds of the country on other questions
than reconstruction. Here is the first count
in the indictment to which the leading radical
journal of the Northwest gives circulation:
A ground work for serious dlimatUf totioa

These are complaints to which the popular
heart of the country most earnestly respond.
Outside of the circle of party manager and
office-holders, the feelinir is" uul vernal that
Congress has addressed itself too exclusively
to the strictly political aspect of reconstruc
tion, and has consequently overlooked the
urgent practical wants which have followed
the suppression of the Kebellion. The neces
sity of retrenchment has not been recogu'ed.
The evils and injustice of a crude and vexa
tious system of taxation have received very
limited attention. The dangers incident to an
Inflated and inconvertible currency have been
met with nothing like adequate precaution.
On each of these points Congress is chargeable
with more than negative faults. Its sIhs had
been fewer were they only sins of omission.
In truth, however, it has been lavish instead
Of thrifty in its expenditures. Although it
has effected some reduction of internal taxa
tion, it has doctored the tariff for the benefit
Of special interests, and almost always for the
worse. And though it sustained the very
moderate scheme of contraction which Mr.
McCulloch has partially carried out, it pro
duced an impres&ion which the speculators
and gold gamblers have turned to account.
Judged according to any intelligent standard
Of statesmanship, it must le admitted that
the last Congress signally failed to realize the
wants of the country, and the opportunities
for affording relief which existed side by side
With the question of Southern reconstruction.
A similar consciousness of the weakness
Which the inefficiency of Congress has entailed
upon the Republican party may be traced, we
think, in the speech of Senator Morgan, as
Chairman f the ratification meeting held last
week in this city, lie does not, indeed, arraign
Congress after the manner ef the writer we
have quoted, nor does he rebuke the wretchel
taste and worse judgment which are visible in
certain of the local nominations. Hut he
clearly indicates the necessity of legislating
more earnestly for the relief of the struggling
Industry or tue country, ana the peru oi louder
neglecting its material requirements. The
revision of our system of taxation and the
reduction of its burdens the inauguration of
an era of retrenchment and the judicious
management of the currency, are matters
which Senator Morgan points out as tests by
which the capacity of Congress will properly
ni? large def5ree determined.
These demands are in nowise inimical to the
policy of Congress on the reconstruction qties-
n,e ?ett8Ure8 which the differences
with the 1 resident may yet necessitate. li at
they are a protest against the further neglect
ct material concerns, and the continued sacri
fice of great practical questions on the altar of
an insensate partisanship. Let the reooustruc
tion of the South be completed, by all means,
And with the least possiole delay. iut lt not
tlie performance of this task be pleaded as an
excuse for inattention to the industrial, enm
juercial, and iinanoial necessities of the repuAd c.

FYoi the N. V. 'JYibunt.
The States of Alabama and Loulbiana have
already held elections under the Reconstruc
tion acta of Congress; the rest are about to
follow. A charge of tactics on the part of the
fielf-styled "Conservatives" deserve consi
deration. The acts of Congress require, first, a careful
registration of all persons who are legal voters
In the respective States; next, aa election
jfLoreat thw? Vetera Elxall tUttr-ah
that a Convention shall or shall not be held to !
reorganize the State. Delegates to said Con- !
venlion are usually ohosen at this election,
but, nuless a majority of all the voters regis
tered vote at this election, the wnoie move
ment is invalidated, and the Convention must
not be held.
At the outset, the "conservatives" (ex-
Rebels) were inclined to "accept the situation"
in good faith, and to unite with their heartily
loyal fellow-citizens in reorganizing their re
spective States and in choosing officers to
govern them. Kven so bitterly Copperhe.il a
sheet as the World advised tliem to do this.
not as intrinsically desirable, but as the most
Judicious course practicable. Some of the
leading routbrons, like (Joveruor lirown, of
Georgia, Wrde Hampton, General Longstreet,
and Ueiieral Jell. Ihompson, took tins course.
The niaioiity, however, inclined to a sullen.
dopced, passive resistance. They very cene-
rally regi.-tercd, but declined to vote; hoping
thus to nullity the movement for a Convention
and protract indefinitely the "military despot
ism" which they represent as so intolerable.
This manoeuvre failed. Iu spite of yellow fever
nr.d concerted "conservative" efforts to keep
voters from the polls, both Alabama
and Louisiana have cast a decided majority
of their registered votes, and thus iu-
eured the holding of conventions. Vir
ginia and North Carolina are about to
tollow; but the results of recent elections
have impelled the change of tactics already
Doted. The "conservatives" in each of these
States are making desperate efforts to carry a
majority of delegates in tneir respective con
veLtioi s; ami, as each State has a decided ma-
joiity of whites registered as legal voters, aud
as tl e Kepublicans nave been much divided,
they cherish strong aud reasonable hopes of
succef-s. The conservatives will vote " No
Convention," but they will not abstain from
voting as their brethren in Alabama and
Louifiaua did; and it is quite probable that
Virginia will poll a heavier aggregate next
Tuefday than she has ever yet done. A like
result is quite possible in North Carolina.
And if nine-tenths of the whites shall prove to
be conservative, they may carry the conven
tion, or, failing in this, they may vote it down
and prolong indefinitely the military rule.
Conservatism means simply a denial of the
right of suffrage to any but whites. Such is
held to be the purport of recent elections at
the North; and Virginia proposes to follow the
fashion set by Ohio. The black3 are not seek
ing to disfranchise ex-Rebels; the ex-ltebels
art seeking to disfranchise the blacks. e
ardently hope that the attempt may be sig
nally defeated.
South Carolina and Mississippi have each a
clear majority of colored men on their regis
tries; and it puzzles us to see how the mi
poi ity can hope to disfranchise the majority.
We shall be somewhat astonished if sensible
"conservatives" shall unite in the effort. It
can have no other effect than to embitter the
relations of the two races, 'i here should have
leeu no thought of white or black in politics;
but if a laree majority of the whites in any
State see fit to make the disfranchisement and
political suppression of the blacks the corner
stone of their edifice, they absolutely compel
every black to stand against them. Thus the
Memphis Appeal, edited by Albert Pike, a
paroled prisoner of the United States, born in
New England, sets forth hisjereed as follows:
"A government of white men for white men,
and no political miscegenation.
"loyally to the Union of the States; fidelity
to the Cc list tutlon iu its true intent and
iiH i.nine; ohi dl( nee to aud raaintonaucj of all
lawn, Slate and national, constitutionally
lllHt( it.
"HeatoraMnn of disfranchised cHlzon to all
rlithiH and pi lvilKeH of which they have been
d kuwlfd; no prosecutions or dlnquallticiitious
for political opiniohk; for the past, oblivion of
olIt'i'Ms; lor the present and future, Union,
ptnee, luw, and order.
"IVrpctuul HH.surunco to all freemen (of the
African race of all the civil rights of freemen."
What Bort of civil rights the African race
are likely to enjoy under the unchecked rule
of such men as Pike, they were shown at the
takine of Fort l'illow, and again at the Mem
phis butchery of the following winter. If the
blacks are allowed even to give testimony
against whites who assault, maim, and rob
them, it will be imcause such whites as Pike
no longer rule the country.
Ihti Aiwal thus responds to our restate
ment of universal amnesty with impartial suf
frage as the true basis of reconstruction:
"You cnunot 'close up the work of reconstruc
tion' on any eucb. baaia. You cannot bribe the
people of the Bouth with universal amnesty to
accept neKroes aa their political equals. Your
own people in the .North, eveu lu Oulo, will
not accept theuiHBHUch; aud the true men of
Uii'Poutn are not suukeu quite so low as to
utcei t aa thrir tqiiula (hose who are deemed
iipUi to be Hit equal of Hie rneu of Ohio. Your
bilbe of uulvriHal umnesty Is not worlh
piioiiRh. You cannot buy men's sonls with it,
i, or llieir honor or at H-rcupect. Those whom
you con purchase will not prove worth the
buying."
Our readers know that we have steadfastly
dikclaimed any idea of bribing, or coaxing, or
bargaining iu any way with such inveterate
Rebels as Pike. We suggested the bases of
reconstruction which seemed to us states
manlike, generous aud lenellcent. If those
who made war on the L'uion for slavery's sake
are not willing to stand henceforth on a foot
ing of perfect political equality with those who
vanquished and compelled them to surrender,
we must forego the hope of having the aid of
the former in the work of reconstruction, on a
basis of amnesty and liberty. We are con
soled by the reflection that, as the Union was
upheld against their host efforts, it may not
be impossible to reconstruct it without their
tool ration.

The Slgnl Aranca of th Vote ou Nero
unrK I u uuio,
fYot the X. Y. Herald.
The Republican State of Ohio, the hotbed of
Western radicalism, the home of Chief Justice
Chase, who is the nigger-radical candidate for
the Presidency, has emphatically refused to
cive the negroes the suffrage. No amount of
B W
ingenuity on the part of the partisan press or
radical orators can explain away the signifi
cance of this fact. There is a clear majority of
sixty to a hundred thousand votes again
civiuu tbe nufTiaue to negroes in the State.
The leturus are not all reported, but the Re
publicans concede a maiority of sixty-five thou
sand, while the democrats claim near a hun
dred thousand. Take it at seventy or eighty
thousand, which is probably near themaik,
oreveu what the Republicans admit, sixty live
thousand, it is a surprising majority, aud un-
'ir.urtuie evidence that the negro Htiurage
policy of the Republican party la utterly
acouiru vj me people.
imi to uuderhUud Low remarkably emphatic
this vote of Ohio u, we must contider the
manner iu wi.n u the quet,Hua was put, and
the status of the negro lu that but, n was
mixed up with other queationa with party

was suppoppd, douMIeM, by tbu political
managers, that bythus bringing the question
belore the people, mixed np wun party issue
In an election, the people generally would vote
with their party, aud not discriminate between
one question and another. Mr. Chase went
home to vote for negro puffrago, and to give an
example to the Republican voters. Other radi
cal leaders were equally as earnest in their
efforts to carry the State on this issue. H it
tlie people did dhcriihiiiate in a very remark
able manner, for a vast number who voted for
the party ticl ct voted at the same tune ag-nust
nero mflrHge.
iakiug the Republican majority in the eb'c
tioiis Ifst year ai d the majority n w n'Minst
negro suffrage, there is a change of at le.ist a
huml ted thousand Republican votes, and pro
bablv a charge of n hundred and thirty thou
sand. Nor wan tln-re any apathy or indiffer
ence on the qtl'-stioti, for the vote of the State
was larger than ever before. The people
tinned out, as they never did before, purposely
to express their disapprobation of negro suf
frage, jiiatas Mr. Chase went home expressly
to vote for it. N"Ver was the policy of party
leaders in and out of Congress so sigdally
denounced as this has been by the mas of the
party itself. Hut this is more surprising still
when we look at the status aud insignificant
number of the negroes in Ohio. Civil rights
are not denied to them there, no is there
any disposition to refuse them all the pro
tection afforded by the laws to the whites,
(iving them the privilege of voting would
have had little or no effect upon the
politioal issues in the State, because they
are comparatively few in number. There was
no fear of negro supremacy or a negro balance
of power in Ohio as in the South. The white
vote would always be overwhelming there.
What, then, is tlie meaning of such an em
phatic refusal to give the negroes suffrage? It
means that the superior white race-the
Anglo-American and all the other branches of
the Kuropean race which constitute the body
of American citizens will not degrade the
country and Government by admitting au in
ferior race to equality with themselves. That,
and that alone, is the meaning of the vote iu
Ohio.
In California the people refused to give the
Mongolian race (the Chinese) the privilege of
voting, trom the same repugnance to putting
an interior race on an equality with them
selves. Yet the Mongolian is far superior to
the negro. Is it surprising, then, that the
American people should be disgusted with the
efforts to make the negroes the lowest race
of mankind their equals ? The conscious-
ss of superiority and the sentiments and
ride springing from it have determined une
quivocally the relative position of these races
to each other. Hut the negro question has
assumed just now the greatest proportions in
another point of view. It is not merely
whether a few negroes scattered throughout
the populous States of the North shall be
placed on an equality with the whites, where
they must always remain comparatively
haimless as a political element, but it is the
effort of the radicals to make them a power in
the republic through their votes in the
Southern States that gives the greatest im
portance to the question. Ihey lorm a large
portion of the population of tlie South, aud in
some States the largest.
I nder the operation of the reconstruction
acts of Congress, which disfranchise a great
many whites, they actually hold the political
power of that vast and valuable section of
our country, lint that is not all. Uur politi
cal eysteni is such that they would probably
hold the balance oi power in the republiu. liw
l'rei-ideut and members or congress enougu
to give a balance of power may be elected by
the negro vote of the South. The President,
probably, would owe his election to that when-i
ever parties were pretty equally divided, l he
organs of the radicals nublunhingly confess
they are now aiming at this object. Ihey
have the hardihood to avow this infamous
inn pose. This great republio to be under
necro government 1 What a spectacle to con
template ! Ignorance aud brutality to rule
Unity millions of white American citizens!
We must recollect that it is the balance of
power that covei ns here, though it may be
secured only by a few thousand votes. The
Southern States in the hands of the negroes,
as they will be if the reconstruction acts of
Concress be carried out, will surely give these
benighted people ot the lowest race mat
power.
What, then, is to prevent them, incapable
as they are, from reaching thejiighest offices 1
And would not the politicians pander to the
prejudices and demands of these people for the
sake of party and the offices of Government ?
A war of races, a ruined South, a vast mili
tary establishment, and, perhaps, a consoli
dated despotism over the whole country, would
follow. We should sink into the condition of
the South and Central American republics, or
a worse one. Such is the alarming prospect
which the in'amous legislation of a radical
Congress has brought before us. And it is
this, together with an inherent repugnance to
negro equality, that has caused the revulsion
ot public opinion m Ohio. Since the siguiu
cant vote in that State, we are not without
hope that the evils of negro supremacy and a
negro balance of power in the republio may
be averted. We may expect the same result
throughout the North as m Ohio whenever the
issue comes, and reckless as Congress may be,
it will hardly venture to defy public opinion
wuen expressed so emphatically.

We regret that our contemporary chooses
to handle a great subject in so loose a way.
We have no fondness for the argumcntum ad
hmhum, or we might easily show that the
string of assertions here made against the
World would be nearly as pertinent against
the author of the Philadelphia address. But
we dislike a mode of reasoning which rests
ou the accessories oi a question and does
not go to its substance. We do not wish
to tease an opponent, but to elucidate the
subject, and we will try to be candid, lest
WPUIiM JttlresU'VIS prove an Impel;-
vious shield to error.
We of course undorstand, for we were
among the first to state, the advantages pos-
Fepseu oy me uepunncau party in their large
majorities in Congress and the long terms of
the senators, 'to pass a law requires the con
currence of the three branches of the law
making power, or 4f the President withholds
his assent, a two-thirds majority of the other
two branches. But to prevent the repeal of a
law, a bare majority of either House, suffices,
it hence follows that at least four years must
elapse bt fore the Keconstructiou acts can be
repealed, even though the Democrats should
win every election during that period, if the
Republican paity uses its power to the
utmost.
Hut no man of sense, be he Democrat or
Republican, supposes that the Senate would
be thus stiii alter a general revolution in pub
lic opinion. When it becomes clearly evident
that the country repudiates the reconstruc
tion policy of the Republicans, the Seuate
will pee that resistance would ouly postpone
what it cannot prevent, and that they would
irietrievably ruin their party by standing out
agaim-t the settled determination of the peo
ple. The Republ'cans virtually concede this
in their electioneering appeals. Ihey keep
vociferating with wearisome repetition that
the success of the Democratic party would
break down the Reconstruction acts, aud re
store the Rebels to power. This is an acknow
ledgment that their long lease of the Senate
would avail them little against a powerful
adverse public opinion. If the elections yet
to be held are carried by the Democratic party,
it is certain that the reconstruction policy will
not succeed.
The law may not be forthwith repealed, but
the Southern whites will stand sullenly aloof,
like a horse led to the water and refusing to
drink. It will then be for Congress to decide
whether it will proceed to organize and uphold
pure negro governments. The certain conse
quence of persistence would be to drive the
whole party out of the lower House in the
Forty-first Congress. As soon as the Demo
crats have'a majority of the House of Repre
sentatives, there will be no difficulty m cutting
the sinews of the Reconstruction acts, although
we may be unable to repeal them. The House
would assent to no appropriations for main
taining a coercive military tyranny in the
South; tue iiouse would impeach no oiiicer lor
treating the Reconstruction acts as a nullity,
and the Senate cannot try and condemn till
the Iiouse has first impeached. It is easy to
see, therefore, how the Reconstruction acts
may be made a dead letter after the 4th of
March, lbvJ, even though tue Kepublican
Senate should prove obstinate. We trust that
we have made it sufficiently evident that the
Democratic party, by its great success in the
elections, is not winning a barren victory.
W e come now to a more Immediate point
If the Democrats carry New York and other
States, as we expect, the country will demand
the settlement of tho Reconstruction question
without further delay. Seeing that the radi
cal scheme cannot succeed, the people will be
impatient of persistence in it. There will
arise a moral necessity for an immediate set
tlement on a more liberal basis. We trust
that such a settlement will be reached on the
basis of a compromise in which the Republi
can party will yield something, President
Johnson something, the South something, the
Democratic party something, bach party
will have advantages which the others cannot
fail to recognize; which is a state of things
favorable to mutual concessions and a liberal
adjustment of differences. The strong point
of the Repiiblioana will be their large present
majorities in Congress; the strong point of the
Democrats their certainty ot defeating the
radical policy; the strong point of the South
the ability of its white iuhabitants to render
the Kecoustruction scheme contemptible, by
standing aloof and surrendering the control
of it to the negroes.
Jsoth the South and tlie Democratic party
would be willing to make some concessions to
have the question settled now, iustead of two
or four years hence. The Republicans had
better make concessions than to stand out and
lose all. A settlement thus reached would
have this great advantage: that, being esta
blished by the mutual consent of all parties, it
would bind the honor ot all, and be secure
from subsequent disturbance. Whatever is
deemed essential could at once be put into the
constitution by the prompt ratification of all
the States; and neither party would be a
future hot-bed of sedition, as it might under
the soreness and humiliation of a complete
and insolent triumph by its adversary. In
proposing as the ground of settlement an
amendment securing perfect equality of civil
rights, we did not intend to assume authority
that does not belong to us, and offer an ulci-
malum, but only to express an opinion which
we had no doubt the Democratic party would
readily assent to.
Jf the judgment we have now expressed as
to the probable effect of a continuance of
Democratio successes in the elections be tole
rably sound, the consequences depicted by the
'J hues should be regarded as mere election
eering clap-trap.
