Invariably in advance for the period ordered TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1867. oei the Kemlt of the Late Elections ' imply the Abandonment of the Con grrteional IMan of Keconstructlont Thb World maintains that since the late eleo tlona Congress ia bound to abandon its pre sent plan of reconstruction. It assumes that the people have decided against negro suf frage not only in the North, but also in the South. Us argument is that, if the people of Ohio, Kansas, etc., vote against granting the suffrage to colored citizens in their respective States, it would be very inconsistent for them through their representatives to force It upon the unreconstructed States. Its claim is that eaoh State shall decide the question of suffrage for itself. We shall attempt to show that negro suf frage in the States that are in the Union, and negro suffrage in the Southern districts, under the Reconstruction laws, stand upon an en tirely different footing; and that the Congres sional plan of reconstruction is thoroughly consistent with leaving each State to deter mine the question of suffrage for itself. For the convenience of the argument, we shall commence with the proposition last enun ciated. The Republican theory is that there are no States, in the sense of legally organized politi cal corporations, in the South, but merely Unorganized, or provisionally organized, com ftumties, waiting to be organized into States. The entire work of reconstruction rests upon this assumption. If it be not correct, then We give up the whole contest. If there has been no break in the chain of legal continuity, so that the people of South Carolina, under the provi sional organization of which Governor Orr is the head, are, in the contemplation of the Consti" tution and' of the law, as truly a State of this Union as are the people of Pennsylvania, then We wash our hands of all schemes of ''recon struction." They are unconstitutional and bsurd. But we do not so believe. We hold that the acts of secession, together with the aots of war which constituted the Rebellion, destroyed the State organizations of the Seoeding States, so that they were no longer States of the Union, but were merely commu nities of rebellions citizens inhabiting the soil of certain portions of the United States. The Reconstruction acts are but the carrying out of that clause of the Constitution whioh provides that the United States shall guarantee to each of the States a republican form of government. The people of a State that has lost its corpo rate existence cannot, under our system, reor ganize themselves. The initiatory proceedings must originate with a higher power. But we are doubly fortified in our theory; for if any should deny that the acts of seces sion and war destroyed the constitutional char acter of the State organizations of the seceding States, as States in the Union, then the conclu sion irresistibly follows that Mr. Johnson, in overthrowing these Rebel State Governments t the close of the war, was guilty of revolu tionary violence, and the organizations he assumed to erect in their stead were mere usurpations, destitute of all constitutional validity. And thus we are brought to the same conclusion as before, that there are no States in the South, but merely communities waiting to be organized into States. Now, we lay down the broad proposition that, in organizing a community into a State, Congress has no moral or legal right to discriminate among its citizens except for crime. Least of all has it the right to Introduce the absurd idea of color as a basis of disfranchisement. The Constitu tion knows neither white nor black it knows only citizens. So Congress, in organizing the Southern communities into States, knows the people of these communities only ai citizens of the United States. It has no more right to disfranchise the blacks than it would have to disfranchise the whites. Were it to constitute the State of only a portion of the citizens, it Would be creating an oligarchical rather than republican form of government. There is, then, in the Congressional form'of reconstruc tion, no forcing of negro suffrage upon ."States," nor upon anybody. There is no forcing of negro suffrage, more than there is tt white suffrage. There is no organized State npon which anything may be foroed. Con gress simply finds, as a result of the Re bellion, that in a certain portion of the Union the people have lost their State organizations, and are in a dissolved and disorganized condi tion. They cannot of their own motion reor ganize themselves, for there is no legal autho rity ia their midst to prescribe the first steps to be taken. Congr, by necessity, as the paramount authority in the nation, and in accordance with the constitutional require ment to guarantee a republican form of gov- crnment to each State, steps in and prescribes tlie rules ana regulations under which the people may proceed to reorganize themselves Into States. In doing so it treats the citizens as possessed of equal rights. It can do notU lig else without violating the fundamental principles of equity and of American consti tutional law. After these communities have ! n organized into States, and are admitted into the Union, then their power over the question of suffrage will be the same as that possessed by the other States. If they then choose to disfranchise a portion of their citi zens, whether on grounds of color, eduoation, property, or what not, it will be their own affair. We hare thus demonstrated that the Con gressional plan of reconstruction is not incon sistent with allowing eaoh State to regulate the elective franohise for itself; and we now proceed briefly to show that negro suffrage in the Rebel communities, and in the loyal States of the Union, stands upon essentially different grounds. In the North, it ia a mere question of justice to a few colored citizens who are de prived of a right; in the South, it is not only a question of justice to millions of citizens, but it is a question of national safety and of the perpetuity of the Union.- There must be a loyal element at the South to balanoe the dis loyal element, or there is no sufficient guar antee of the fnture safety and peace of the country. To reorganize the Rebel communi ties upon an exclusively white baais, is to re organize them upon an exclusively Rebel basiB. To confer the vast powers of States in the Union upon Rebels, intensely hostile as the mass of them are, and ever will be, to the Union, is deliberately to Invoke another war and to pave the way for national disaster and possible overthrow. Such a step involves the giving to the 291,300 Rebels of South Carolina an equal power in the Senate of the United States with the three and a half millions of loyal citizens of Pennsylvania 1 It puts the 78,000 Ethels of Florida on a par with the four and a half millions of loyal citizens of New York! It gives the 357, 45 (J Rebels of Louis iana as much power as the two and a half mil lions of loyal citizens of Ohio ! Now, there is no escaping this result except in balancing the disloyal element at the South by the loyal element, and that element is the colored citi zens. The blacks are attached to the Union by the strongest of all possible ties. It is to them the synonym of freedom, of education, of moral and physical elevation, of enfranchised and ennobled manhood. They are loyal by an instinctive necessity, as strong as life itself. They are the only loyal element at the South upon which the nation can rely. Hence, we say that negro suffrage iu the South stands upon an altogether different footing from negro suffrage in the North. The exclusion of the negro from" the ballot-box in Ohio may be unjust, but it involves no national peril, except in that wide sense in which all injus tice is perilous. But the exclusion of the negro from the ballot-box in South Carolina involves a national danger of the gravest character. It means the creation of a disloyal Slate, to cast an equal vote in the Senate with any other State, and to wield the vast and uncontrollable powers of a State in opposition to the peace and life of the nation. Negro suffrage in Minnesota, which has just adopted that measure, means justice to perhaps five hundred citizens, but it doos not change the essential character of the State. Negro suf frage iu Louisiana means justice to fifty thousand citizens, and a loyal Slate true to the Union. Negro suffrage at the North is justice; at the South, it is justice plus national safety. Hence, we maintain that it would require vastly more than the result of the recent elec tions to justify Congress in abandoning the present plan of reconstruction. We refuse to recognize the vote of Ohio or of Kansas against negro suffrage in those States as a vote in favor of Rebel supremacy in South Carolina and Mississippi. We have not the slightest doubt that upon the naked question of the Congres sional plan of reconstruction, as opposed to the Johnsonian or Democratic plan, every Northern State would go for the Congressional plan by overwhelming majorities. The true question is not negro suffrage at the North, or negro exclusion at the South, but negro suffrage or Rebel supremacy in the South; and upon that question a vast majority of the loyal people of the North are in favor of negro suf frage at the South. That Broad Street Job. The contractors for the Nicolson pavement and their friend the Mayor seem to be likely to reenaet the old story of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Their course in attempting to mutilate the beauty of Broad street, by forcing the pavement on the people, in opposition to the wish of the masses and in total disregard to the symmetry of the street, is likely to arouse so much popular indignation that every contract that they may make here after will have to be forced through Councils by main strength, if, indeed, it can be got through at all. The oonduot of the contractors is of a character to excite the utmost opposition, and, if persisted in, will, while it gives them a few more thousands for Broad street, effectually preclude a general adoption of the improve ment. The total disregard of the 'beauty of the street, and the grasping avarice, and even greed, which they display, will cause them to encounter a host of enemies, whioh a little discretion could have avoided. Because the Nicolson pavement is a tolerably good thing is no reason why we should be charged two prices for it, and have twice as much of it laid as is needed. Yet we under stand that the contractors are charging those who opposed the job four dollars per foot, and those who favored it twq dollars and twenty five cents per foot, while in Chicago it was laid for much less ; and the cost of laying it here, making liberal estimates for all expenses, will not reach one dollar and seventy-five cents per foot. The profits derived from such a little job can be easily estimated.' We are told that a property,holder, having twenty feet front, has to pay from three hundred to four hundred dollars as his share of the ex pense. This is certainly a very heavy charge on the holders of property, but if it was needed, neither they nor we would object to it, but when it is increased in order to enrich the contractors, and a vet heavier burden is laid on their over-taxed shoulders, we think it time mat some one should Interfere. We have already adverted to the fact that tne accommoaations above Master street are ample for carriages, and that south of it they are insufficient, for pedestrians. A careful calculation by an engineer approxi mates towards the accommodations for car riages of whioh the fifty-seven feet above Master street are capable, and it shows that twelve thousand carriages can conveniently pass there every day, and that from six to eight carriages can with ease drive abreast, while the unsightly width south of Master street is capable for twelve carriages abreast, a preposterous number. We leave it to any of our readers, so far as the beauty of the street is concerned, whether north of Master, with its double rows of trees and its oorreot proportion of sidewalk and street, it is not much more beautiful than south of that street. IieBides all this, it must be remembered that the Nicolson pavement, although better than what we have had, is not the acmo of perfec tion. With the advance of science and im provement, it is possible that a still better in vention will, within the course of a few years, be discovered, when this will have to be r moved. Shall we, then, tax so enormously for what will probably be but comparatively temporary ? The plank roads, within ten years deemed the roads par exc.ellaece, have all been discarded to-day. Why, then, should the Nicolson be perpetual? Again, it must be remembered that in laying the gas pipes, water pipes, etc, whole sections will have to be taken up, and defects must exist in laying it down again. All these ciroumstanoes should be taken into account, in the lavish expenditure in favor of tne improvement, in iaot, we hope that Councils will on Thursday reverse its action, and act as the good of the masses demands by passing the bill over the veto of the Mayor. Commissioner llollins and the Whisky Kings. It is said, and we have no doubt truly, that the whisky "rings" of New York, Philadel phia, and other cities are making a combined effoit for the removal of Hon. E. A. Rollins. Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Their success in this etlort would be a public calamity. As long as Mr. Rollins stays at the bead of the Department, there will be some ob stacle to the complete despoliation of the reve nue by these conscienceless violators of law. Even he cannot do a great deal, for his hands are tied by the absurd vagaries of Secretary McCulloch, with his humbug revenue "Boards," which are of about as much prac tical use as the fifth wheel to a coach. If the whole management of the Revenue Department were confided to Mr. Rollins, as it ought to be, we have not the slightest doubt that he would instantly carry the revenue upon distilim spirits up to three or four times its present amount. He has become pretty thoroughly familiarized with the operations of the whisky men, and with the devices they resort totodefraUd the revenue. He is also well posted as to the real character of the collec tors, assessors, agents, and inspectors who constitute the local officers of the Revenue Department throughout the country. He knows who are faithful, and who are in league with the frauds. But his hands are tied. Secretary McCulloch, at the command of the President, foists upon the service, for political ends, the most outrageous characters, swin dlers and shoulder-hitters, drunkards and criminals men whom no business man would trust in his counting-room alone for a single minute. This is no exaggeration. It is the subj ect of universal comment among respecta ble men of all parties. The best evidence of the character of these Revenue Agents is furnished by a comparison of the returns of 18G7, under Mr. Johnson's officers, and 18G5, under Mr. Lincoln's appoint ments. The figures speak most eloquently: Tax Collected on Dis Tax Collected oi Dis tilled Bplrlts Corres ponding Months In tilled Spirits from Msy, 1806, to Oct. 30, 1807: Dist. Put. 32 eeot (jib. on -io $1,197,398-64 284,802-98 6 88,238 3(11 6. 7 61,(179-60 9 130,229 78 2 7,556'58 8 23,20110 1 . 93.409 04 14,140 44 7 . 140.109 20 9.... 132,535 44 2 .... 882,250 9 3 283 006 29 . 1 136,268 72 4 15,412-88 8944,129 08! 12,571,8 15 09 Mr. Johnson is utterly indifferent to the interests of the revenue. Political con siderations are first and last with him. The Revenue Department is only a conve nient instrument for furthering his own par tisan or personal ends. Secretary MoCullooh is the faoile accomplice of this wretched policy. His general theory of the finances may be a very good one. His impulses are doubtless right; but he has not a particle of back, bone to protect the Treasury against the raids of the political plunderers who monopo lize the favors of the President. So far as the revenue is concerned, he would doubtless be glad to see it collected; but he is not sufficiently anxious therefor to set his face resolutely against the appointment of bad men for parti san ends. With Buch influences controlling the action of his superiors, with his hands thus tied, Mr. Rollins can do but little. Still, he manages to give the whisky thieves a good deal of trouble, and to prevent them from having things entirely their own way. Hence their desire to have him removed. We trust, for the sake of the plundered tax-payers of the country, that they may not suoceed. Q1IOICE FRONT SEATS for the WALNUT EDWIN FORREST. AC a DEMY RICH IN G8' OPERA, CHESNUT-MIU BO jVERd.

I next trltd the sledge with all my power lor some time upon the Sate with no success, and I am per fectly satisfied that neither the wedge nor the sludge has any power to open the Safe la any way the bur glar can use them. WM. JONES, Wheelwright, No. 2129 Filbert st. The undersigned, btlng present, saw the opera tion of the drill, and of tne wedging and sledging of the Llllle safe referred to in the certificates of Mtssrs. Morehouse & Co. and William Jones, and f ora the duality of the tool, the Immense power ap plied, and the time employed, I can scarcely con ceive thai It would be possible lor burglars to accom plish as much towards; entering the safe In any time Ihey have te operate, even If not disturbed by the noise from the sledge. CHARLES PAliUAM. THR RESULT. In review of the above statements and certifi cates (the truth ol which Is beyond cavil), the fol lowing facts are demonstrated beyond a quostlou: Flint. Thai Lllile's Chilled Iron Safe will burn up twoot the Steam Patent Safes, one alter the other, the composition wall both being equal, and fctlll be fit for use. ... Second. That Llllle' Safe Is thoroughly flre-proot beyond a doubt. 'J bird. That Llllle' Safe, as now made, Is proof gainst the drill, wedge, and even sledge the ouly praolical Implements lu the bunds of burglars, and the evidence of Us superiority over all other burglar prool safe Is, that no other maker bad the confidence to eveu operate on Lhiie's, or place their own iu com petition, the test having been publicly announced lor along lime, aud free to all to operate upon It, and without response. ... . The object of the lire proof test was not to show that Lllile's safe was fire prool. That has been proved In hundreds ot canes In liresthe most Intense even in great conflagrations but to ascertain what advan tages the Boston Steam patent has over the common method of filling Sale, and the result shows most cle.riylhat its only advantage Is the extra thick uessof the walls. If the .tent is fairly, made. As to the thickueas ofwalls.lt cosib no more to make the cimpoaltion walls six Inches than three Inches, bul theslx-lncn wall in a full-slEd Hafe con tractu the room Inside about one half and the buyer nav 260 lor th i-amerooui with a slx ln' h wail that he would gel lor sua with a three-Inch wall; and If a three-Inch wall will stand any fire required, as Lllile's SaiewlH then the extra tuickneH is uless. But ll is no test' to plice a three-Inch agaiust a slx-lucb wall, a- the latter would stand a louger fire than two of the olbers, bilh Sale made just alike.
