DITORIAL OPINIOH8 OP VHB LKADIKO JOURNALS CPOH CUKBBRT TOPICS COMPILED BVRBT DAT FOB TBI BVS5IH0 TELBOBAPH. The Case of Georgia. JFYom the Baton Jst. Governor Bullock, of Georgia, Las given la his "testimony" before the R-joonatruotlou Committee on the condition of his State, or wbat it netcU, fid bow tbe needs ought to be answered, lie opposes Mr. Suuiner'g plaster for tbe sore be describes. Tbat is a bill whtoh totally Beta aside the existing governmut., framed as it was by tbe very men now en gaged in an effort to destroy it. It also pro poses a provisional government in its place, subject at all points to the control of Congress. It further provides tbat the Legislature shall be again called together, for sifting out every member who dccliues to take tbe iron-oUd oath required by tbe Reconstruction law, rela tive to participation in tbe Rebellion. Tbeu Governor Bullock is to be made tbe supreme local ruler, and to call to bis aid as much of the strength of the army and navy as he may think necessary for his and his party's pur pose. As to tbe winnowing of the legislature by compelling its members to take an oath otb.ur than the one prescribed by the Constitution of the State, now fairly adopted by the people and praotically accepted once by Congress, it is only a ehftiuelesa pretext to get possession of tbat body for the radical managers. They were entirely foiled by tbe action of tbe Legis lature iu declaring that negroes oould not under the Constitution of the State hold office, and this is their revenge. Under what rale was it that negroes were deprived of tWr Seats in the Legislature f Under none other than that of tbe Constitution itself, which a radical convention had framed, and which was voted for by every negro present in tbe con vention. The olause originally reported by the committee on this 8 abject permitted ne groes to hold office a well as whites, bat ou Jmtting it to a vote of the convention a ma ority of that body struok it out, and twelve negroes voted for tbe motion to so strike it out. The Constitution being framed in this way, it was submitted to tbe people, and ratified and generally aooepted. To make the matter sure, the Constitution on its construc tion was submitted to the Chief Justice of the State and other distinguished lawyers, who did not hesitate to give their opinion that ne groes were not allowed, under it, to hold seats in the Legislature or auy other office in the State. Now how otherwise could tbe Legislature aot in deciding tbe question, than as tbe Slate Constitution expressly directed it to aot f It bad, in eaoh branch, fall control of the quali fications of its members to deoide on their sufficiency; the Constitution told them that negroes were not qualified; and tbe dsoisiou was made accordingly. Then starts up Gov ernor Bullock, with the other radical marplots and managers to back him, and claims through Mr. Sumner's bill that the Fourteenth Amend ment is yet to be adopted by Georgia, when it has been egain and again declared that Geor gia has adopted it. Also tbat, in order to do it effectively, it must be done subject to the condition that "no change shall be made, in fringing tbe rights of sulirage of any class of citizens." Now if anything is plain, it is tbat the Fourteenth Amendment concedes to each State the right to abridge the franchise; but its aotion is balanced by tbe provision that all such abridgments are to be accompanied witll a corresponding representative disability in Congress. Can Congress thus go behind its own offer, and undertake to punish if punishment it is a State for presuming to proceed on tbe strict terms of its proposal f We suppose that this Congress can, for it liu shown tbat it can do anything that boldly illustrates inconsistency and usurpation. It of course can olaim to have the same right to annul an amerdment to the Constitution which it has to trample on the body of tbat instrument. ' Consider, again, that Congress has onoe ao epted this entire action of Georgia by de claring it back in the Union and its represen tatives elect entitled to their seats. Bat not even this clear stultification impresses tbe Sroposed outrage any deeper on tbe mind of r. Sumner, and on tbe minds of all who fol low him in supporting his bill. As for the statements of an unsettled state of society in Georgia, in which Bullock and Sumner seek to hide their motive, it is most emphatically contradicted by the leading citizens of the State and by the respectable organs of publio opinion there. The blacks are doing well, and will do still better if let alone. They are used only to load and fire the radical guns, and the symptoms abound that they are well tired of it. Is Reconstruction really accom plished, as the Chicago platform announced, or is it to become a synonym for resurrection, practiced at every session of Consrcss t J Coal. The N. Y. 'limes wants foreign coal admit ted to our market free of duty; and na are inclined to concur in tbe suggestion. Except for revenue, we cau perceive no reason for taxing an article so balky in proportion to its value as coal Is, eppeoially after its production from our own mines has been so fully devel oped as with us. Now, us we have done on former occasions, we urge Congress, in revis ing the tariff, to make coal free of duty, and thus silence a clamor which has the slightest possible foundation. We balieve coal is usu ally cheaper in thit city and throughout our country than altuo.4 any other artiole in gen eral use; and we doubt that it would be gen erally cheapened by taking off the duties. It bothers us to say how the Government is to be supported and the national credit maintained after the World has bem grutiiiud with " a (iree urtitKinbv tauie, uuu me jt tints wnu nee fuel to cook tbe breakfast; but do let us stop mis noise aooui taxing vue tuei oi vue poori Yet, if we are to co operate with tbe 'him in its crusade, we must ask it to acquire some knowledge of the matter in controversy, and disouss it with some respect to tbe essential facts. We couldn't get on well with an ally Who talks as recklessly as the following: "The duties on bitumluous ooala must be laid, not lor revenue, fur they ar uliu t pro hibitory, but merely to 'protect' half a dozen large capitalism iu P cbusylvauia, and u law hundred workmen , nt tue expense of our wnole seaboard.

The Rcblonitlon of the Constitulbn South, and North, From the JV. T. Herald. All great struggles bring certain destructive elements to tbe surface against which a gov erning code, modelled in time of peaoe, cannot provide. When tbe life of a nation is threat ened new laws spring to the front, born of the moment and strong in their warlike birth. The country which has not tbe stamina to follow their lead takes a long step backward fails to bold its own In the race of civilization. So it has been in our own late etruggle. Two systems, both gigantic, grew side by side under tbe nio-t favorable ciroumstauoes for both. One was ultra-liberalism, the other was feudal ism nursed by the forces which have been brought so vigorously into action in this century, bide by side they grew nnier tbe same Constitution nntil the parasite threat ened to der.troy the tree and, as a consequence, wreck both. Then it was that both forgot tbe Constitution. The South rudely trampled it under foot. The North also ignored the p iinal law, and, finding it entirely unsuit-jd to cop 3 with that which threatened to blot oat the Constitution and the nation at the same time, did not hesitate to deal blows at the Rebellion, even though tbe sabre strokes clipped the great code at the sama t'me. Doing this, we saved the nation. Who is there iu all tbe broad miles we bold who would have preferred the salvation of a piece of parch ment ? We were without a fundamental oode dar ing our Rebel lion, and we have been without one bince the war clo ed; for there is no Constitution existing so long a3 any one of iu parts is ignored. Tbe non-recognition of one item implies tbe right to ignore another, and so on until il vanishes away on the prinoiple of secession. In all this we of the Union did well; but it has required an immense quantity of common sense to preserve our liberties during this epoch. Nothing but the general diffusion of education, tbe power of tbe press, the vigor and governing force of the elements of progress existing among us, have prevented the loss ef our form of government and the adoption of a military dictatorship. The war threw the Constitution back upon the people, and no greater proof exists of the strength of republicanism thau the fact tbat for seven years we have held oar old form of government safely on deposit. We have pa tiently awaited for tbe men whom we have placed in power to follow our desires, like true statesmen, and restore it, subject to the alte rations which we alone have made by tbe sword. When any Congress refuses this it becomes unrepublicau and dictatorial, forcing, as it were, its own desires into the foreground and basing laws upon them, instead of simply shaping our wishes into legal form. It is only in monarchical countries that tbe people are supposed not to know what they want or what is best for them. If Congress forgets this, then have we taken the first step towards a firmer centralization. To preserve our liberties we must Bweep aside the dross that has accumu lated in Washington. The men there must fall or recognize immediately as a first prin ciple tbat no man can lead the people. - With tbe same good sense which has enabled us to march on in our national greatness, ignoring for a period our fundamental law, we now feel that the moment has arrived for a complete restoration of the law, both South and North- If there still exist brains so weak that they thibk tbat the former feudal prin ciples of tbe South can trample upon and bar tbe mightiest progress in the world's history, they are scarcely worthy of living to enjoy the product of electrioity and steam. We are beginning to be narrow and protective in our governmental policy, and consequently retrograde. Does the North wish to drag the ruins of eleven States after it as it marohe3 onward ? It is scarcely good sense, when those Mates are now willing and able to march themselves, and consequently help instead of retard us. To become powerful again they mutt have a period of rest and progress. Is any one so mad as to think they will go back to look lor support to the Old instead of giving entrance to the mighty New now knooking at their doors ? The great ultimate object of our struggle should be to make tbe nation homo geneous. Who can say that there are two ways of doing it one for the North and one for tbe South 1 Last year ten of the Southern Slates gave less than thirty-three millions of revenue to the national support. This does not indicate prosperity, either local or national, and is scarcely a third of what they should yield wheu free from political disturb ances. There is but one way to meni all this let them alone and give them a chauce to go to work. As there is but one directum for them to move in, they will take it, aai we bhtll be asiouibhed to see how rapidly they will fall in with us ai)d help develop the wou dtrful rbbea of the Wet-tern World. But what is the lit st step towards all this ? It rebta more with ourselves than with thoui. It is in the hands of Congress a Cougreas which must now rtnieinb. r that the people have elected them and demand that the mandates of the people ba obeyed. The ncii in has finiuied the war, its corruptions, and tha natural oscillations which are the remits of war. Our common sense has carried us safely through where our Congress would have wrecked us. Now we require the restoration of our fundamental code of laws, for the time has pushed when national safety required it to be held in abeyance. To-day we have bat one branch of government our Congress. The Executive is a nullity; the Supreme Court bows to a power it cannot face. Let Congress now evolve the powers which the nation forced it to absorb; give back to the xeoutive branch its full authority; com mence by a revocation or tbe Tenure-of Oflioe till; show confidence iu oue of the first prin ciples of our Government tbe division of it into three separate branches, ihe people wish this, and their with is significant of action if it be refused. The danger is past. The nation daring that danger set the Consti tution aside, for it was a code of peace. War was thus filled with energy. Teaoe has now returned to us. It requires not the concen tration of war. Therefore we, the people, ask for tbat which is best suited to it the Consti tution, South and North. (.'cneral ranl nud Ills Cabinet. From the Jf. Y. Timet. The newspapers, as a matter of oourse, con tinue tbe coustiuotion, and reconstruction, of General Grant's Cabinet, with unabated confi dence and zeal. But the publio faith in their work is less absolute thau of old, and some what less tbau could be desired lor the credit ol journalibin. Nobody now, so far as we are aware, pays any attention to the talk uf tha newspapers about General Grant's Cabinet. It is an nounced, from day to day, tbat the lion. Mr. So-and-So is certainly to go into it; whatever else may be doubtful, that is cert ".in at all events: and the most oertain of all has hitherto been the assertion that Mr. Wash bnrue, of Illinois, was to be Seoretary of the Treasury, or anything else that he might prefer. But even tb's rumor has been a good deal damaged by a lettor from Mr. Washburne himself, in which he says: "SofarnR political position In concerned, I nm content with the one BBMUncd me for the ninth time by m senerous, couth In conHtltu eney, I know but little touolilog Cabinet no polutruente, and take no mock iu auy news paper talk assigning me lo till or that, politico.

Jaud nee nil rights of a 1 men vindicated and protected 1j see an honest, economical, dignified administration of the Government, bringing to tile people peace, quiet, happiness, aud prohperlty. " We have not tbe slightest doubt of the entire sincerity of thse jast and patriottu sentiments, which reflect more real credit on the man who feels and utt.rs them than would any appointment in the President's gift. We are inclined to believe tbat nobody in the country knows auy thing concerning the composition of General Grant's Cabinet. We do not believe ho knows much about it him self or tbat be has given it much thought as yet. Beyond all question bis mind dwells upon it more or leas, but rather, we ima'iue, in tbe way of studying the wants of the Gov ernment and the necessities of the publio ser vice than in weighing the chiins of indivi duals or the respective weight due to ri?al localities and interests, But it is cm ions how many things are "set tle i" for General Grant already not only without his assent, but without his know ledge. We are told every day of matters which are fixed, not by General Giant but for him, by persons and parties that know a good deal more about these matters thau he does, or ever cau, and whose chief anxiety is to give him the trouble of attending to them when he comes into power. It is perfectly well Hettled, for example, who is tosuooeed Mr. Smythe a Collector, either upon his translation to the Russian mission (for which it is uuderstooi "things have been fixed" in tbe Senate), or upon tbe advent of the new i'renident. Some half-dozen of the principal missions abroad have been disposed of, and their prospective iuoumbents are busy with their grammars aud dictionaries, or with tbeoutof thdr garments, in confident expectation of what is soou to ba their fate. All this is very interesting and very inno cent. Playing at administering the Govern ment is as diverting to political parties ?( "puBS in tbe corner" to children aud it is very much tbe same kind of game. But while General Grant contents himself with merely looking on, we fancy it won't amouut to much, lie is evidently taking a rest before bis work begins. lie does not act in the bast like a man who is eager for office and the purple longing to grasp the eoeptre and wield the power the people have placed in his hands. He has the bearing rather of one who feels the weigut of tbe great responsi bilities tbat will be upon him soon enough, and who values every day of deliverance as a day of relief. Ilia troubles and perplexities will come soen enough, and will bs weighty enough when they do come, lie will not an ticipate tbe day of tbeir coruiug, nor will be fehrink from tbeir weight when they do come. It will not be wise for anybody to set his heart very strongly on seeing any special man in any special place still k'od on seeing him relf there. Those who expect least will be least disappointed. We do not think General Grant at all likely to accept dictation from any quarter, or from cliques and factions of any kind, lie is muoh more likely, in our judgment, to act on all publio questions, and especially on all questions of appointments, with as much of independence and of reliance on his own judgment as our system of govern ment allows to any man in office, which is not, it must be confessed, tt best excessive. We ' are inclined to think that be dojs not intend ' to spend all his time, while President, in de- . ciding on the rival claims of applicants for I c ilice, or in listening to the history of the local political contests and quarrels of Squashtown and l'odunk. He is much more likely to put at the bead of .the various departments of the Government men in whom be baa faith, and then to leave the settlement of all these mat ters mainly to them. In this way, and in this way only, can be hope for time to smoke his after-dinner cigar, or to relieve his bed-room , from a crowd of office-seekers iu time to get a short nap before breakfast. j Gen. Grant and llio Tenure-of-CClce Law. From the JY. Y. World. j The plan reported in our Washington des- , patches on Tuesday for keeping the tetters of I the ieuure-oi-OHice act riveted upon the new President, shows that tbe spirit of distrust, intrigue, and selfish greed of spoils is stronger than tbe simulated respect for General Grant. Tbe cormorants tbat have so long battened on tbe national revenues are not disposed to re linquish their food. Having kept themselves in place by binding one President, they do not ni4.an, if thy can help it, to release his fcticcest-or. On one of the firat days of the session General Butler surprised the country by in tioducing a bill for repealing the Teuure-of-Ofiice law; but be presstd it with no zeal; nobody else has taken it up; and there seems a tacit understanding tbat no action shall be lakeu on it until just before the adjournment. To tbo:e who understand General Bailer's character, bis motives are transparent. He wants a Cabinet office, and hie bill wan his method of notifying the new President that he is willing to bury his former aggressive enmity if General Grant will make lii oue of bis confidential counsellors. Tbe jntssage of tbe bill was not necessary for conveying Cietieral Butler's notification, its proposal sufficing for that purpose. Its author wished to keep himself iu a position to treat President Grant as he has treated President Johnson. When Mr. Johnson succeeded to the Presi dency after the assassination of Mr. Linaoln, General Butler went to him with professions of friendship and confidence, aud asked to be appointed Secretary of the Treasury. This application was slighted. Butler soon after became tbe rancorous enemy of the President, and has never failed to assail him with every weapon he could lay his nanus on. The attitude of Butler towards President Grant will be determined by similar considerations. He has publioly offered to bury the hatchet, but with au implied understanding that tbe pipe of peace shall be lighted with a Cabinet commissicn. Butler will take no further steps nntil be shall bave satisfied himself whether his wishes are likely to be aooededto. If Butler stood alone in such aspirations this maua'uvre of his would be of little conse quence. But tbe motives that actuate him are shared by most of the controlling men of tbe Republican party. Leading members of the two houses do not all want appointments for themselves, but they want them for friends, for dependants, for tools, for meu who can make money by defrauding the revenue aud will give them a slice of tbe profits. Most of tbe : leading Republican Congressmen are regular brokers of offices, this trade being a chief souroe of I heir influence and emolamtnts, nd one of the means by wbioh they reim burse themselves for tbeir heavy electioneer ing expenses. We do not know what it will irst Senator Morgan, of this State, to get himself n elected; but whether it be thirty '.bcusand, or futy thousand, or a hundred thousand dollars, we suppose tbe outlay will be made on tbe strictly mercantile princi ples which are so well understood by this V minent merchant. ""What with the money creut last fall in promoting tbe eleotion of members of the Legislature, and the money it may le necessary to expend this winter in bribing members or buying off competitors, a new term in the Uenate will cost bim a very considerate sum; but a sum that he cau easily eilord, if tbe whisky operators in the internal revenue seiviie shall keep their places and continue" to be bis tools. Scores of other leading members of Congress have similar In terests in their own localities. Aud a-3 they would all bave a much Mirer thing in keeping tritd and expert dependants in olli 'a than in iuiiiing tbe hazard of getting new ones ap pointed and continued, it is obvious that the ihtiruits of this whole claps ar adverse to a reveal of the Tennr-of-Oilice law. It Is eahy to understand, therefore, how powerful are the Interests which are openly or i-ecietly hostile to a ielea-e of Geueral Grant from the fetters which bind t'reiident JoLnson. Such outs as hope to be appointed, or get their friends aopoiu'.e.d, would ot course wish the new President to be restored to the liberty which was possessed by all of Mr. Johnson's, predeoefsors. But so b'ng ft they aie in doubt whether they or their livalswill carry off tlw prizes, they will stand by prefer ence iu tbe came position as General Butler; anxious to promote a repeal, if a repeal would biing grist to tbeir mill, but ready to oppose it if it would inure to tbe benefit of their com petitors. The whole tribe of tpoiis-hnnters, of every shade aud stripe, are accordingly waiticg for Ueneral Grant to ehow bis band. And be, seems iu no hurry to relieve the agony of their suspense. The Id", comprising Senators and Repre sentatives who prefer to remain in Congress, and whose friends are now in office, have hit upon a plan which, in tbeir estimate', is very promibing. A bill for the repeal of the Tenure-of-Office act is to be passed iu the last days of the session, in order that Congress may ad journ before the expiration of the ten days ailowed the President for its considera tion. It is fancied that President Johnson will not give it his approval. In the first place, be and General Grant cordially hate each other, and it is supposed that he will not be forward to promote a measure which, would be for General Grant's advantage. Ue of course could not veto the repeal alter having vetoed the original bill. If liuie were allowed him, he would quietly suffer it to become a law by the lapse of ten days. But by its pas sage at too late a stage for that, it will be really defeated by its authors, and the respon sibility fbifted, as they calculate, upon the shoulders of the President. A shallow dvioa I inasmuch as nobody could fail to see through it. But the President tuiht have other motives besides bis dislike of General Grant for not wishing to sign such a bill. The Tenure-of office act wa3 passed for no other purpese than to annoy and restrain him; and lie might regard its repeal, jast at the moment he was about to quit offise, as a frosh repetition of the insult. It would be telling bim to hi face that its whole object was per sonal. It would be like asking a man who bad been Eet in the ttocks to take up the timber and carry it awaywlea his puuish ment was tnded, as if no o'her person could tver be bad enough to furnish a ilia for such fln instrument. The only way the President could tvoid letting bis tueinies thus degrade bim, would be by neglecting to ajt ou such a bill neither signing it nor vetoing it, but leav ifg it to become a law, or not, aoconiiug to the space allowed by Congress previous to adjournment. It is probable that many Republicans will oppoee tbe repeal on pretended grounds of principle, thus shielding tueuieeh'es from General Grant's censure whi!e maintaining the restraints upon his authority. This cau be done with some plausibility, as many of them pretended to act on principle in its pas page. But the real motive will be distrust of General Grant. They know tbat he wa3 not au original Republican ; that he was nevar a Republican by conviction or preference, other wise than as he might have believed it batter to accept the reconstruction measures than to keep opeu the quarrel. They know also that he has a scarcely disguised contempt for the whole unclean herd ot busybodies aud office seekers who make politics their trade and seek to live ou the public plunder, lie does not con sort with such men when he cau well help it; he despises their intrigues and their rigmarole speech-making; and their fear is so pre at that be will give a preference to army officers, tbat Senator Edmunds, a day or two tince, intro duced a till forbidding tbe appointment of military effiuers to the civil service. This bill, and the formidable opposition in the Sonata to tbe transfer of Indian affairs to tha War De partment, bo strongly reooinmended bv Gene ral Grunt, betoken their distrust of him a distiust which is justified by the facts that be wns never at heart a Republican, and that his phlegmatic, unexcitable temperament uutits him lor over becomiujr a blazing radical. The gtiiins of the Republican, party is fanatical imitation, atd there is hardly a man iu the country less cut out for a fana'.ic or au agita tor than General Grant. It will be littl. short (d a miracle if this man and the Rxprblioau party pet on well together. SHIPPING. V LEGAL NOTICES.
