J"hi8uU of the recent elections in the South leaves no room for doubt that Constitutional Conventions will Je ordered in eaoh of the late Rebel States, under the provisions of the Re construction laws jassed by Congress. This iaot Imposes great responsibilities upon those Conventions. The suocess or failure of the reconstruction policy of Congress rests mainly trlth them. The constant argument of the conservatives is that these Conventions are composed of bigoted, Illiberal, ignorant, and Snoapable men utterly disqualified for the Work of making the organio law and frame trork of a State. The only way to effectually answer these charges is for the Conventions to $how by their wrkt that the indictment is false. Notwithstanding all the olamor ' tnat lias been raised by interested politicians, wlio, lor party ends, would prolong the reconstruc tion struggle, if the people see that the work Is progressing aooording to the rule of essential justice, they will endorse and ratify it. The publio mind longs to see this question settled ly the admission of the seceded States to the Union, If that oan be accomplished consistently rith the safety of the country. Sohemes of confiscation and general disfranchisement Should not.be indulged in. Publio sentiment trill not sustain them, beoause such measures would pave the way for new difficulties here After. What the judgment of the country r7ill sustain the Southern Conventions in doing la about this First, the incorporation of fealty to the Union as an irrepealable provision in their State Constitutions; secondly, the se curing of the absolute civil and political equality of all citizens by the strongest pos sible guarantees; thirdly, the adoption of a system of free schools; and, fourthly, the dis franchisement of notorious and leading Rebels Jbr such length of time as the communities in trhiob. they live shall see fit. Constitutions embracing these features, no matter by whom anade, if adopted by the people of the States concerned, will be sanctioned by the general Voice of good citizens all over the country. Oligarchies of race, whether white or black, Will not be tolerated, and for two good reasons JLrat, beoause opposed to the genius of Our Institutions; and, seoondly, beoause oligarchy in control of a State is an oil frarohy wielding the powers of that State in the Government of the Union, and thus affect ing the interests of the people of the whole fuinntrv- Tan man ninth ail wif.1i tla fnrnnrafn functions of ft "State" in South Carolina are ten men to balance the State of Pennsylvania In the Senate of the United States. Ilenoe, all considerations of justice and humanity aside, the very inBtinct of self-preservation must prompt the States which now constitute the republic to refuse admission to any new State Whose corporate powers are lodged in the hands of an oligarchy. All questions of suf frage, as a mere abstraot right, dwindle into InsTgnlfloanoe beside the practical bearings of PUte equality in the Senate. Oligarchies, therefore, cannot be tolerated; and if the con stitutions about to be framed iu the Southern districts shall undertake the general disfran chisement of white or black, it will be the duty f Congress to rejeot them. But if those con stitutions shall provide for truly republican . V.nlnir Via "Statu" upon the broad foundations of the people, Congress will sanotion them, and, once admit ted, no power oan overturn them, The Southern Conventions, then, have an Important work before them. It is theirs to ereot new States whioh shall be faithful to the republic which shall Beoure the education and elevation of the masses, whioh shall render life and property Beoure. and which will lead the Southern portion of our country on to glorious development of its splendid powers and resources.. Slavery, aristocracy, and caste have hitherto ruled the destinies of the South: let us see what liberty, equality,, and fraternity oan now do for her. A a Four-Cornered Fight. Tub political situation in New York city has ftssumed ft very interesting phase. : At the approaching Mayoralty election there will be foul candidates in the field, the overwhelming majority of the Democraoy having caused double split in their ranks. Mayor Hoffman finds his management of the Tammany ring Vuch a profitable undertaking that he is fuxxious to oontinue it: while Fernando Wood, Iacked up by the hungry cormorants of Mozart JI&U, is making a great noise about Tammany . corruption and munioipal reform. Disgusted With the hypocrisy of both these faotions, the guasi respeotable Democrats, under the style and name Oi me Democrats Union, are pro. jaising ft foretaste or the millennium as the result of the eleotion of their oandldate, the eminently respectable Mr. Anthen. Into this double breaoh in the walls of the enemy the i&epublioans have cast tnemselves, with the Hon. William A. Darling at their head. M Parting's reoord is dear and honest, and he deserves the support not only of every Re publican voter; but of every Democrat who has any regard for his own personal interests 2taw" York is a perfeot Eden of politioal thieves, and the only hope of its regeneration la in the success of the Republican ticket, Under these circumstances it is much to be regretted that some of the Republican journals Of that city are urging their readers to Bup ixrt Mayor Hoffman for the sake of defeating lernando. Let the Republican party of the olty present ft united front, and both Hoffman Via Fernando will go by the board. THE DA1L1 EVENING TELEQRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21 18C7. Popular BoverBif ntT in Ueorrl.. I Wk took ociAion ft few dJ "iaoe, la oom-J wonting npon the Virginia eieouon, w can attention to the fact that it had been partici pated in by ft lft'ger proportion of the citizens of that State than had ever before united In any political act whatever; so that the Consti tutional Convention just elected would be the most truly a representative, popular body of any that had ever exeroised governmental functions in the "Old Domini n." We are now called upon to chronicle a simi lar state of facts with reference to Georgia. At the election just held there the vote is the largest of any legal vote ever oast in the State. The official return is 188,047, as the total registered vote, 100,410 as the total vote cast, of which 102,283 were for the Conven tion and 4127 against it, being majority for the Convention of 98,150. At the Presidential election of 1856 the total vote of Qeorgia was i)8,800; at that of 1800 it was 100,365; so that the present vote slightly exceeds that of 1860. But the 'most striking eontrast is afforded between the present movement for a State Government . in Georgia and the illegal and usurpatory attempts made by President John son to fix up a State organization there. Mr. Johnson's government was sanctioned by just 37,200 citizens, that being the total number of votes cast for "Governor" Jenkins in 1865. If anything ever deserved to be called a "rot ten borough" government, it is one attempted to be foisted upon a people by 37,000 citizens out of 188,0001 And yet it is the overthrow of such a "government" as this by one springing directly from the people, and overwhelmingly sanctioned by them, that is called in Demo cratic parlance the "destruction of ft Statel'' The truth is, the organizations cooked up by Mr. Johnson were as destitute of popular sanction or approval as they were of legal or consti tutional validity. They were not the pro ducts of the people, but the nianufaotures of the Exeoutive. They were as far removed as possible from that sacred oreation of the peo ple, a "State." In flagrant contrast to these Executive organizations are the civil corpora tions now being made in the Southern districts by the people. These latter, at every step, are sanctioned by the people. First, the peo ple vote whether they will have a Convention or not; then for members to constitute it; and, finally, upon the Constitution that the Convention may frame. A want of popular approval at any of these stages vitiates the whole work, and it falls to the ground. There is no rushing of anything on to the people. Congress prescribes the steps, but the people must take them. Do we hazard anything in saying that States thus organized, springing directly from the people, and sanc tioned by them, will be more sacred in all the elements of true legality than any which have ever existed in the South ? or that, once admitted to the Union, they can never be overturned, exoept at the point of the sword ? We Bay that such States will stand. Reoonstruuted Georgia, firmly bonnd to the Uoion b? i"pealable provisions of her fundamental law, and still more firmly by the affeotionate loyalty of the majority of her citizens, will tower immeasurably, in all the elements- of ft noble Commonwealth, over that old Georgia that tore herself away from the Union, and quenohed her corporate life in the floods of revolution ! So of all the Rebel communities. They will oome into the' Union reconstructed, regenerated, and disenthralled, fitted to become worthy members of one great republic. Proper Departments for Our Public llecords. By act of Assembly all deeds, titles, mortgages, and conveyances affecting any real property in any county of the State are compelled to b recorded in the office of the proper Court or Recorder, and during the time allowed for re cording, these documents remain in the posses- sion oi ine oincers appointed. In the oase of wills, the originals are also permanently depo sited, in iaot, tne titles or all of the property owners in Philadelphia depend to ft greater or less extent on the preservation of these publio records. Every reader of This Even ik o Tblbgbaph who is possessed of reai estate, has his main security for quiet posses sion in the fact that all of the previous owners have transmitted a clear title to him, and every step in which title can be verified by record. When it is remembered that many of our citizens depend entirely on the publio acknowledgments, and do not possess them selves of the original deeds, the real value of the safety of these doouments can be appre ciated. Yet is a notorious faot that not one of the offices provided by law for the purpose of being a safe deposit of the archives, is pos sessed of a fire-proof building in which they may be kept. On the contrary, the offioea alloted to them are in a state to render them Imminently liable to destruction by fire. The State House Row la old. Its wood work, dried by years of age, would?, if oaoe lighted, burn like tinder. There would be no hopes of extinguishing the flames if onoe they cot under headway. Any morning the citi zens of Philadelphia may wake up to find the whole of the old building destroyed, and all the titles with it. This loss would be irre parable. Yet the authorities have, with almost criminal negligence, negleoted to take any precaution for the proper preservation of the documents entrusted to their oare. In other words, by law they compel us to leave these valuable deeds in their possession, and then omit to take ordinary precautions for their safe keeping. The smallest county ia the State has safer and more ample accommoda tion for Its publio reoords than the great city of Philadelphia. The little town of Media has a oourt-house fire-proof aud burglar-proof, wnicn exceeds In substantial structure and safety the beat building provided by our city. " uegngenoe be cor rected. It U ft duty due to their conntitueuta that proper buildings be at onoe neottrod. An daj ma,b too laU to hare the evil oorreoted. Let Counoils make the needed appropriation l for the purpose, and the property-holders will pay all the required taxes with a satisfaction rarely experienced when a demand is made on them by the city government A Lost Word on the llroad Street Dill. Thih afternoon City Counoils will either re consider their aotion in regard to the Mayor's veto of the Broad street bill, or by failure to discuss the subjeot, allow the views of his Honor to become tho law of our cityt There are numerous reasons already adverted to which demand of our representatives a re consideration of their previous vote. In a republio the wishes and comfort of the great majority of the people should be con sidered in making the laws. As we have no privileged classes, the desires of the few, whatever their wealth and soolal position, must give way to those of the many. In the case of Broad street, one hundred people favor the widening of the pavement where one favors the views of the Mayor. As we are now ex pending thousands of dollars in attempting to beautify the handsomest street of our oity, the symmetry of the plan should not be marred In order to enrich contractors. If the views of the Mayor prevail, then we will have a street one part of whioh is muoh wider than the . other; and when viewed from either end, ft most unnecessarily awkward effeot is the result. In the proposed improvement ample room Is reserved for carriages, but at the same time the wants of the pedestrians are attended to. Unless this improvement is oonourred in, the people will be crowded together on the narrow pavements, while the effeot of the carriages will be impaired by the wide space, which will not show them to advantage. The plea of the Mayor is based on a probable future contingency, that the room for eques trians may not at some remote futtire day be sufficient, while the arguments in favor of the bill are present and visible to any one who will walk Broad street on any clear afternoon. Lastly, the property-holders, those whose daily and hourly interest lies in the proper arrangement of the street, and who are the least likely persons to do anything to Injure its beauty and advancement, are all in favor of the contemplated aotion of this bill. For these reasons, if for no others, it ia the duty of the Common Council to reconsider its action, and yield to the wishes of the people. Ten Years' Imprisonment for Stealing Money irom a setter. A xoung Post Office olerk was sentenced in New York a few days since to ten years' hard labor in the penitentiary for embezzling letters. His thefts had been detected by means of decoy letters containing money that was marked. His oounsel endeavored to create sympathy for him on this aocount with the jury, on the ground that "tempta tion" had been thrown in his way, but it is difficult to see how money inolosed in a letter could be a temptation to a man who had not already tampered with the letter sufficiently to find out what was in it. Every Post Office olerk knows well enough that money is con tinually passing through the mails, and if his virtue is not strong enough to resist the temptation to steal, he had better seek some less exposed situation. The Judge, in sentencing this young man, Bald: "You have been oonvioted of embezzling let ters from the post office in which you were a clerk. Tbe crime charged upon you is peculiar. and the frame of the statute ludloates tbe In-. tention that it should be punished with severity. It must be understood by those who are in the Post umee ueparimenianu intrusted with the correspondence or tne country, tnat no tampering witn it is anowaoie. xnere is no such thine as a trivial violation or this statute. The term of imprisonment fixed by the law is rot less than ten years nor more man twenty. The points of law arced oy your counsel have Deen careruiiy considered, ana no reason is found in them why you should not be sen tenced. I have also considered the request that you should be imprisoned In the County Jail, but I think for offenses under this statute suoh a request cannot be conceded. I have con cluded that the proper sentence is that you snail be Imprisoned for ten years at hard labor m mo Aiuttuy renitentlary." The Scheme for Dividing Texas. Wb see no good reasons for the proposed divi sion oi Texas into two States, a Boheme which is ascribed to Mr. Stevens. The State is large enougn, it i8 true, to be out up into four or uv x.,w states, nut the population is not yet excessive for even one State. Every new State implies two new Senators in rw. and we think the two whioh Texas will have bo soon as she Is admitted to the Union are as many as her population will entitle her to for some time to come. r . The Johnson Commutes. Last eveninsr an event took plaoe in has hardly received the our oity which attention which demands. We its politioal significance refer to the meeting of the "National Union State Committee," assembled at the Girard House. As we have not heard any of the names of the distinguished gentlemen who participated in the movement, we are com pelled to take it for granted that our genial friend Dr. Swann presided. We are sorry to see a decrease In the members of that illustri ous organization. Before the eleotion it had an office of its own ; now it meets in a small parlor of an hotel.. To-morrow J Where will it meet to-morrow f The main achievement of the meeting last night was the adoption of a re solution averring that "the National Union party retains an abiding and unshaken faith in the firmneBB, wisdom, and integrity of Andrew JohnBon." We oan only say that if the meeting wag oomposed only of such per sons ( as held suoh a sentiment, we think the managers wise in taking a private parlor, for if the whole party had attended, there would have been no inoonvenienua from overorowd- ing the room. The London O&smw announces that Qanen Victoria is about to emerge from her long seclusion, and that the next season will be one of the uiodt brilliant of hur reign. ' SPECIAL NOTICES.
