The Opinions of Senator Morton on Kcnu
diuliou. From the iV. T. Tribune.
In Lis speech on thn Funding bill, delivered
in the Senate July 13, Senator Morton took
ground, side by side wiili Pendleton and
liutler, that it is lawful and Tight for the
Government to pay the Fiv-twentj bonds in
legal-tender notts. "In matters of Buch im
mense magnitude," eaid he, "the nation can
only be bound by the law;" and laying aside
conscience and common sense, he proceeded,
In justification of the financial plank in the
Democratic platform, to quote from the various
acts authorizing the issue of legal-tenders a
number of declarations identical in substance
With the following:
"The notes herein authorized shall be re
ceived In pavmeulof all taxes, Internal duties,
exclHPB. debld, und demands of every kind due
the United btttus, xcepl duties on Imports,
and all claims aud demands against the United
fcHales of any kind whatsoever, except for In
terest upon bonus aud notes, which shall be
paid In coin, and shall also be lawful money
and a legal-tender in payment of all debts,
public and prlvaie, within the United States,
except duties on imports and Interest afore
Bald. "
Keither the provision above quoted, nor any
of the others produced by the Indiana Sena
tor, makes any exception in favor of green
Lacks. Greenbacks, he declares, are there
fore to be paid in legal-tender notes. For,
to use the argument aud the very words of
the Senator. "If vou prove that the Gov
ernment is bound to pay these (greenbacks)
In coin, you do it in the face of four direot
and plain statutes, as unequivocal as any
Btatutes that ever were written." Every
greenback carries on its face a promise
on the part of the United States to
pay a certain number of dollars to the
tearer. What of that? The people of the
United States, upon Senator Morton's inter
pretation of the acts of Congress, are at liberty
forever to repudiate thoie promises. They are
furthermore at liberty to keep them depressed
thirty per cent, below their par value. And if
thirty per cent, why not ninety-nine ? On
the plea of relieving tax-payers and keeping
to the letter of the law, Pendleton, Morton,
liutler, and Stevens, in company with the La
Crosse Democrat and the maiu body of those
Who will vote the Democratic ticket in No
vember, propose to perpetrate this swindle on
the creditors of the Government until the en
tire national debt disappears, paid without the
departure of a single gold dollar from the
Treasury.
What a revolution has swept over the finan
cial opinions of Senator Morton since August
27, lfc07, may be gathered from the following
extracts from a speech of his nivie in Colum
bus, Ohio, at that time.
"The Democratic leaders of the North intend
to make tbelr Until ana desperate maud tor
existence and power upou thai question) (repu
diation). They will appeal to tue base it pas
sions of the people, to ineir cupidity, to their
BelUshness, to the Satanic temptation of exemp
tion from taxes, to the poor azalnst the rloli,
and to labor agatnttt capital. One of toe
latest forms In which repudiation has shown Its
horrid front Is the proposition to pity oil' the
Whole national debt iu greenbacks, It is
very absurd to talk a!)oui paying a debt by giv
ing another obligation for It which Is not to be
paid. And I notice this proposition, as a weak
device of the enemy, by which, they approach
tllreot repudiation."
General Rosocrans for Mexico Our Rela
tions with Mexico.
From the N. Y. Herald.
The appointment by the President, and the
prompt confirmation hy the Senate of General
Kosecrans as Minister to Mexico during the
closing hours of the late session ot Congress, will
le something of a pleasant surprise to the
country. A patriotic soldier, whose splendid
Cervices to the Union cause in the great work
of suppressing our late Southern rebellion
Will never be forgotten while the nation lives,
a line scholar, a man of liberal ideas, and a
good Catholic, General Roseorans is the very
wan as our Minister to Mexico to make the
most favorable impression on that Govern
ment and people iu reference to the wishes and
purposes of the United States in our future
relations with the Bister republic. Such an
appointment is of itself the most flattering re
cognition of the government of Juarez, aud
carries with it the most friendly intimation
that as far as possible our Government will
assist him in the establishment of law aud
order, industry, and prosperity, in accordance
With the Monroe doctrine.
Since the French invasion and the establish
ment of the empire of Maximilian our rela
tions with Mexico have been mainly conducted
through Senor Romero, Minister of the repub
lic at Washington. Since the withdrawal of
the French army of occupation aud the over
throw of the empire, with the bloody death of
Maximilian, the republic has been awaiting at
the national capital a duly accredited Minister
from Washington. Meantime the representa
tives in Mexico of all the European Govern
ments who had recognized aud served under
the empiie having been dismissed with the
restoration of the republic, General Kosecrans
will be the first ambassador on the grouud
from any of the great powers in the
work of reopening commercial relations under
the republic. To a question on the subject iu
the liritiuh House ot Commons, on Monday
last, Lord Stanley replied that Mexico (the
republic) broke off relations with England iu
consequence of England's recognition of the
empire of Maximilian; that if the republic
Should make overtures for their resumption
there would be no difficulty about it; but that
dignity and fielf-renpeot would not permit
England to solicit the renewal of oilloial inter
courae between the two countries. And so it
is with France, Spain, Ur-lginm, and Austria.
General Rosecrans, therefore, on his arrival at
the Mexican capital will find himself, in refer
ence to the international affairs of Juarez,
master of the situation.
Meanwhile our special correspondent at
Home has given us a curious bit of news in
relation to Juarez and the Church and Church
party. It thus appears that with all his sius
and transgressions against the Church and the
Church property of Vlexino Juarez has found
rrace with the forgiving Holy Father; that his
Holiness, at the request of Juarez, has con
firmed the nomination of six bishops made by
the latter to sees in Mexico; that the Pope
- eeized the opportunity for a hit at the heretio
Prime Minister of Austria, iu announcing these
appointments to the cardinals in consistory
directly after delivering his allocution against
the abolition of the Austrian Concordat, and
that such juxtaposition must deeply wound
the Austrian imperial family and still further
Widen the breach between Vienna and Rome
Juarez is said to have written an autograph
letter to ine rope, couched in the most pui
tent style, apologizing for his past acts and
promising a splendid future for the church in
Mexico. On this tack, however, Juarez will
be apt to fail, as Maximilian failed in betray
ing the party with which he came iuto power.
It was the liberal party with Juarez. It was
the Church party with Maximilian.
The European complications suggested on
the Mexican question from these new relations
between Juarez and the Holy Father we are
strongly tempted to consider. It will Bufn
for the present that they must wldn the
breach between the Pope and Austria, and
tend to closer relations between Austria, Italy
and Germany at large and Rnssia. We are
dealing, however, with the mission of General
Rosecrans to Mexico. As a good Catholic he
will command the confidence of Juarez, his
government and people, all Catholios; but as a
pood American, General Rosecrans may be
useful to Juarez In defining to him the beauty
and simplicity of the Amerioan system of the
complete reparation and independence of
Church and State The world is coming to this.
England is breaking ground in this dlreotion;
Austria, in a few bold strides, has advauoed
from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century;
in Mexico we had supposed the question set
tled in the removal of the late empire, after a
serifs of bloody struggles running through
nearly half a century. If Juarez is now on
the back track he will be swept aside. As the
best advice we can give him we should advise
him on this vital question of Churoh and State
to consult freely with General Roseorans, if he
would learn the secret of the internal strength
of the Government of the United States and
the way to a prosperous prolongation of Mexi
can independence.
Disturbing Reconstruction.
From the N. Y. Times.
The World tends forth the Llair and Hamp
ton poison somewhat diluted, as in this para
graph: "Why should reconstruction be more acred
than hi) J thing else? The radicals have derl lo J.
and spat upon and disregarded the wise and
benefloent i ederal Constitution, And made It a
thing of no account, and yet a whisper against
this precious Africanizing scheme of recon
struction of theirs is met, by a whirlwind of
fraiitio execrations. To sbut olrall Inquiry into
Its merits they bawl that it is a fixed fact, aud
appeal lo tbe cowardice of the people not to
disturb it. Why shouldn't it be disturbed if it
la wrong? We are a practical people, aud if a
fact wan Axed an hundred limes over, and fixed
wrong, thai Is no reason but that it should be
fixed an hundred limes more, If necessary, until
It Is fixed right. We want no loose ends left
hanging In this matter, and It maybe as well
tor thse gentry to so understand the purpose
ol the people."
This is milk and water, compared with the
strong stuff of the Blair letter, the Demooratio
platform, or the speeches of Southern Rebels.
It shows that though our contemporary's flesh
is willing to go all lengths with and for its
party, its spirit is hesitating and weak.
For the information of this anxious inquirer,
we may remark that nobody has claimed for
reconstruction a sanctity superior to all lawful
methods of change. Nobody has alleged that
it fchould not be disturbed "if it is wrong;"
nor has anybody that we have heard of ob
jected to all needful amendments, "until it is
fixed right." We entreat the Wold, there
fore, to dispel all fears upon this head. It
may go forth unarmed, and urge the expe
diency of as many reforms in regard to the
working of reconstruction as experience shall
show to be necessary.
Hut there are two ways of "disturbing" re
construction, and we fear that the World, in
its desire to keep Brick Potneroy off the
track, has lost the clear light whioh until re
cently guided its steps. Its opinion within
less than a month was that any changes here
after to be made in the government of the
reconstructed States must be made by and
through the people of the States themselves.
It said, for instance, not many weeks ago,
"that negro suffrage oannot be uprooted by
the Federal Government, even under Demo
cratic control." It said agaiu, that "when the
negro Constitutions go into operation, the
former State Governments will be defunct."
Still later, discussing the ?ery contingency
which the Rebel politicians threaten, it main
tained that the local Government entitled to
call on the President for support, "is the one
which is recognized bv Congress by the ad
mission of Senators and representatives choseu
under it. it asserted the existence of "a
complete chain of legal obligations, binding
the Federal authority to sustain the new Gov
ernments against any attempts to change them
without their consent." We might multiply
tbese citations, if it were necessary, to show
how fully and how justly the World under
stood the position before the nomination of
Seymour and Blair on a revolutionary plat-
ioi m.
The World wa3 then alive to the folly and
danger of all modes of disturbing reconstruc
tion by Federal power, or by force, or by any
other agency than that which, the new (Jousti
tutions respectively indicate. Whence the
change in our contemporary's views r Whence
the distorted vision, the affected horror of "the
sanctity of reconstruction," and the timid.
wavering, and unsatisfactory by-play, in behalf
oi ine revolutionists r
We entreat our contemporary to turn for
consolation and enoouragement to its own
columns previous to the date of the New York
Convention. It may take a few doses of physio
with decided benefit to its moral health. It
may learn afresh that henceforward the recon
structed States have their local affairs in their
own keeping, and that if the Southern leaders
of its party attempt to interfere with the local
authorities by violence, the r resident will be
bound to step in and hang them. It will
then see why reconstruction "shouldn't be
disturbed" after Democratic fashion, even
though it be not perfect; while it will per
ceive mat an neeuiui improvements may
in due time be lawfully and peaoeably intro
duced.
"'egro Supremacy."
From the Cliicojju Jiejiublieun.
There is no greater trash of nonsense than
the current talk about the degradation of white
men resulting from black men voting. The
real degeneracy consists in the malignant
stubbornness which refuses to acknowledge in
the negro anything more than a Heaven-decreed
bondsman. The Democratic contempt
for impartial suffrage is but a silly manifesta
tion of aristocratic disdain the feeling of the
lady of quality, who, being on her death-bed,
asked her spiritual aaviser whether slid and
her cock would occupy equal positions in the
mansions of the blest, or whether she would
be assigned to her appropriate sphere iu the
parlor, and Biddy to her natural place in the
kitchen. Nobody, who believes iu a future
state of rewards and punishments, doubts that
the bouIs of some white men will be writhing
and howling in torments, while the souls of
some black men will be supremely happy In
the everlasting city. If a being with a dusky
bkin, kinky wool, Hat nose, thick lips, and
ebo shins can qualify himself, by a life of
purity on earth, for association with angels in
the perpetual presence of Jehovah, how nar
row and contracted must be the heart that
refuses to recognize Buch a being in the Hash
as a ' man and a brother."
While emocratio speakers and writers
insist that negro suffrage is an intolerable aud
loathsome outrage upon the white man, they
neglect to explain how it is that conferring a
right upon a person with an ebony skin ope
rates to degrade a man with a white skin. If
Sambo is the being he is represented to bean
ignorant, prejudiced, superstitious, inoapable
fellow, dep-ndeut in every element of his na
ture, and without progressive capacity then
the superior race has nothing to fear from the
ballot as wielded by his low grade of intelli
gence, for he embodies those very qualities of
mind which become plastic in the hands of
high intellect. Bat the whole history of the
past shows that the portraiture of the ex
slave, as drawn by the ex-master, is a mon
strous deformity, unlike the reality as those
old pictures of the Last Supper, in which our
Saviour is depicted as sitting at a table gar
nished with all manner of modern cutlery,
glassware, and dishes.
In the days when the plantation arlstoorats
had possession of the general Government,
the Southerners delighted to represent the
negroes as "a simple, dependent, affectionate
race," yet the master was constantly on the
alert against slave insurrections. Amid the
grim realities of war, the chattel was boasted
of as a model of attachment and fidelity, full
of admiration for his manacles. It was not
until the black man refuted by his conduct
the theory of his character so long presented
to the world by his owner, that he was hated
and despised. It was the unwelcome lesson
of his patriotism, his love of freedom, his
prowess, and his unbending independence of
thought, taught on hundreds of battle-fields,
in many a bold charge that scattered dismay
and death throughout the Rebel ranks, that
made him an object of supreme aversion to
his former master, and precipitate! upon hi3
almost helpless head the weight of an impla
cable, yet unreasonable resentment. His
enemies fullv comprehend his oower of self-
protection involved in the possession of suf
frage. It is to disarm him, aud place him
completely at the mercy of his foes, that the
cry of "negro supremacy" has been raised.
None better understand the fallacy of the
slogan than those who shout it loudest.
It is true that the negro is not learned, nor
refined, nor rich, as a class, yet they are
making signal progression in each of these
directions. At their present rate of Improve
ment, not many years will be required to
make them, in all respects of iutelleotual
capacity and of property acquisitions, the
equals of the whites, taken in mass. Even
the Israelites, delivered from bondage, do not
Bppear to have advanced so quickly as these
emancipated blacks, in all the elements of
mental elevation aud material prosperity.
Had the Angle-Saxon race been enslaved for
centuries; been kept In forced ignorance;
been reduced to drudgery and toil; beeu
degraded in caste, aud restrained of the
power of self-amelioration; beeu deprived of
the right to acquire property; been sold
Horn hand to hand as so many horses or
swine; been doomed to unavoidable prostitu
tion; been burned at the stake, or hung to a
gibbet, in punishment for resisting the autho
rity ot the master; been beaten with many
stripes on small provocation; beeu separated
for life, at will ot the owner, frotu wile aud
hildren; and been hunted down with blood
hounds, and consigned to unmerciful chastise
ment, or to outright torture, for the attempt
to escape Irom a gunding and almost intolera
ble despotism had such calamities befallen
for ages those who now are ex-masters, then
they probably would not have exhibited, on
being set free, without home, laud, plough,
horses, money, trade, or education, a nobler
progression, within three years, than have the
ex-slaves. Yet we might have had, after the
manner of now, a senseless cry about "white
supremacy."
The Way Mr. Seymour Supported liio Gov
criiiiiciii iu lboo.
From the I'ittxburg CommircntL
In la 0,5 Seymour's gieat anxiety was to
have the draft stopped. Had it been done it
would have given the Rebels the victory. As
the most effective way to assist them he set
himself at work to have the draft stopped,
stimulated the mob to resist its execution,
and backed by his own personal application
the demand of this description of his
"friends" that the law should not be
executed. What makes the matter all
the worse for Seymour, aud shows con
clusively where his heart was, is the faot
that it was when men were more needed
and loyal men were striviug hardest, that
he plied his enorts most vigorously to preveut
enlistments and the execution of the draft.
lie interposed all sorts of quibbles, and finally
interposed the plea of unconstitutionality.
which usually takes longest to decide the plea
which lawyers hopeless of gaining their case
but anxious only to stave on decision as long
as possible, frequently fall back on. Sey mour
knew that what the Rebels, beaten at Gettys
burg and hard pushed at mauy points, wanted
was time. This he undertook to gain for them
by attempting to have the drait suspended
until the question ot the law's constitution
ality could be taken iuto the courts and there
tested a process which might last six mouths
or six 3'ears. Such a proposition he addressed
to Mr. Lincoln, who replied to him under date
Of August o, lbbj, as follows:
"Your communication of the 31 Instant has
been received aud attentively considered. 1
cannot consent lo suspend Hie draft lu New
lork, as you request, because, among other
reasons, time is ioo important."
After suggesting explanations of the alleged
discrepancies in the calculations for the draft,
and expressing a readiness to have all real
errors corrected, Mr. Lincoln contiuued, in
response to other propositions of the Gov
ernor:
"I do not object to ab'de a division of the

It was in this way that Mr. Lincoln was
compelled to argue with the Governor of the
largest State in the darkest time of the Rebel
lion. Is there any reason why his nomination
should not be received In the south with the
greatest approbation, and supported with the
greatest zeal r
An Issue of i'act Decided.
From the N, Y. Tribune.
Tor the last three years we have been urged
bv Southerners to advise emigrants to suet
the cheap lands, cental climate, etc, of the
South. We have often done so, but with
reservations. We tell Northern men who
seek new homes that the South offers great
inducements, but that they will do well to
settle in neighborhoods, forty or fifty families
in a cluster, bo as to have their own mechan
ics, traders, eto., ana not be dependent on
others: for we don't like the spirit evinced by
a large portion ol the Southern whites towards
those who dissent from their politics. We
can advise no man to make his home whore
he will be obliged to support any particular
naitv under the penalty of social ostracism.
This view has been repeatedly arraigned,
rmbllolv and privately, as narrow and unchar
itable, and our Northern people assured that
they may think and aot as they please at the
Sonth, provided they obey th laws.
I he fpppoh of Howell Cobb at the Demo
cratic Ratification meeting at Atlanta, (ia., on
tbe 23 1 iiist., affords a striking aud undesigned
continuation ot our view.
Llowell Conb is a representative man. He
was a Democratto member of Congress for
many years, aud was Speaker during the
Thirty-first. IH was thence transferred to the
Senate, where he perved with distinction until
called to the Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan, as
Secretary of thi Treasury. While holding
that nust responsible position he perverted
its great powers to the furtherance of seces
sion, ai.d was ' powerfully instrumental in
forcing Georgia into rebellion. When heat
lengih resigned to go Sonth, he left the
Ant'. tires in a state ef chaos; having depleted
the Treasury to pay off millions of debt not
yet due at a large premium, and theu tried
to borrow at most usurious rates to fill
the vacuum. Most certainly, if man was
ever a traitor, then was llowell Cobb a
traitor. As such having done his utmost to
destroy the Union he is disfranchised by
Congress.
Joseph a. Drown is also a Georgian by birth

as a Democrat, and did much to plunge Geor
gia into Rebellion. Ilaving got enough of this,
he is now a Republican, favors universal am
nesty and impartial suffrage, and is regarded
as a radical leader. Of him, and such as he.
Howell Cobb thus speaks in his harangue re
ported in our last: .
"A friend told me. as I was comlnir here the
