There are rumors from Washington and other quarters of a desire or intention on the part of a certain section of zoalouH Republi cans this winter to take sovere menaures with regard to Georgia in short, to put her com pletely back under military rule, by way of puniribing her for the crimes, disorders, and genoral spirit of disobedience to the law by which she is aillicted. Georgia, as our readers may remember, is neither in nor out of the Union. Indeed, her condition is perhaps the most singular in which any community cvor found itself. She fulfilled all the conditions of adinksion which Congress prescribed by an net passed for the purpose, Juno 2.", IMS; General Meade oflicially certified the fulfil ment of some of these conditions; the fulfil ment of the remaining one the ratification of the fifteenth constitutional amondinont was duly proclaimed by the l'residont, and tho Georgia Representative! were therefore duly admitted to the House. It only remained to Admit her Senators, but they were refused ad mission bocause, in the interval, the Legisla ture had expelled its colored members, its right to be the sole judge of the qualifications of its members having boon formally acknow ledged in a telegraphic despatch to Genoral Meade signed by the members both of the Ju diciary and Reconstruction Committees of the House. The Senate, therefore, deliberately disregarded the act of June 2.1, and refused to admit the Georgia Senators on the conditions therein prescribed, and by mere resolution prescribed other and fresh conditions, one of which was that the Legislature should lay ttsido its claim to judge in all cases of the qualifications of its members. No reasoning in support of this extraordinary performance was ever produced. Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, wrote the majority report of the Judiciary Committee, but nobody but himself would sign it, which was not surprising, as it was simply a piece of wild declamation. Messrs. Conkling and Frelinghuysen, however, ad hered to its conclusion, which was that the Georgia Senators ought not to be readmitted, taking their stand apparently on the discre tionary power of the Senate in judging of the qualifications of its members, while Mr. Trumbull made a majority report, containing an argumont on the other side, which has never been answered, and is, as it seems to us, unanswerable. Since then matters have Tomained unchanged. Georgia is in the Union to all intents and purposes, except that Bhe has no representatives in the Senate. Legally, there is not the smallest flaw in her claim to be considered a State in the Union any more than in the claim of Oew York. It is now proposed, however, it is said, to put her out of the Union in fact as well as in form, by placing her under ''military govern ment," the reason being that the people of the State are saucy and turbulent, and that the revenue and police officers find it difficult to discharge their duties properly, and that, in short, life and property are not as secure as they ought to be. It is quite safe to say, however, that the condition of the State in these respects is no worse than either North or South Carolina or Tennessee, and is pro bably not one-quarter as bad as that of Texas is likely to be for the next fifteen or twenty years. Indeed, the only reason that exists for not dealing with North Carolina and Ten nessee as it is proposed to deal with Georgia, is that in those Slates negroes were not ex cluded from the Legislature before tho State Lad been formally and completely admitted to the Union. It is, however, hardly neces sary to argue against the right of Congress to expel a State from tho Union and put it under martial law because a majority for the time Jbeing is not satisfied with the local adminis tration of justice. Those who believe Goor I'iaisinthe Union do not neod to be convinced that she cannot be put out of it in this way. But those who do not believe she is in it, and who now propose to put her back under military government, would do well to ex plain to us what they mean by "military gov ernment," and in what respect such a govern ment would differ froin that now in exist ence. It is all very well to talk of giving General Terry "absolute control" of the State, but what is meant by his "absolute control '(" Ileal military government that is, a govern ment of military officers, with a force of sol diers and police at their disposal sufficient to make tho roads safe, bring robbers and mur derers to justice, enforce the collection of the taxes, and drive rogues and vagabonds into honest industry would, as we have often said, have been, in our opinion, an ex cellent thing for the South for four or five years after the war. Both blacks and whites would have profited by it enor mously. But no such government was ever instituted at tho South. The govern ment the Reconstruction acta set up, for all social purposes, differed from civil govern ment only in name. The Governor of tho State was called a general, and the Stato a district, but in all else things went on as be fore. Sheriffs hunted down malefactors, civil courts tried them under the laws and consti tution. Indeed, the only marked way in whioh the Reconstruction acts affected the machinery .of civil government, was by the exclusion of most of the intelligent, educated men in the State from all share in working it. The Union men who took office and went into politics were by no means the best of their class, and they were reinforced by persons from the North, to a large number of whom doubtless Injustice wan done by Southern and Democratic papers, but who certainly, as a body, were not persons whoso advent was any gain to the South. Tho fact is, that the state of things we established at the South, pending tho reconstruction of the States, has probably been ono of the worst ever witnessed, To call it a military government wouia be an insult to tho army. No soldier would, if left to himself, tolerate it for a momont; and that its results have not been worse than they Lave been reflects the highest crodit both on whites and blacks, nnd especially on the blacks. It has consisted, as everybody who Las seen it knows perfectly well, in tho com mittal to the most ignorant, tho poorest, and least reputable of a great community of tho administration of iU justice and of its finances, and indeed of tho work of logislutin for the exigencies of ten millions of people emerging suddonlv from a bloody civil war and a social revolution. No such experiment could succeod. or will ever succeed. Tho Almighty docreed that it should not when Ho gave man his reason, and provided that it should regulate human affairs. That the disorders of every kind which alllict Southern Sooicty should be groat is no wonder; the wonder, is that they are not grenter; and to talk of punishing them, and removing thorn. by remanding a State back to this state of things, is like remanding a man to the bar room to cure him of drunkenness. h lo'ig as we koep up a government at the Uixuh which men of intelligence and charaotor and I wealth at the South donpise and dotost, and I which has not even that lowest of all govern mental claims to respect brute foroe at com mand instead of putting an end to turbu lence, we sow the seeds of it. We do not blame the authors of the Recon struction policy for the results of their policy. It was just and expedient that the pruno movers in the Rebellion should be excluded from all share in the management of affairs while the basis of society at the South, and the relations of the revolted States to the Union, were undergoing revision But to persist in keeping up this abnormal stato of things, and, above all, to thrust back into it any State which has even partially made its way out of it, would be the hoight of folly and wickedness. Congress may bo fairly de fied to make Bociety at the South either Rober, orderly, industrious, or law-abiding. It may pass what acts it pleases, and things will re main as they are till tho individuals of whioh Southern socioty is composod are improved; and the work of improving them does not fall either to General Terry or the Reconstruc tion Committees, l'rovidence has reserved that for laws whose operation bogan with tho creation of man, and will only cease with his extinction. THE "SATURDAY REVIEW" ON INTEll VIEWING. From the Jf. T. World. The Saturday Rcvfcw, in common with tho press of New York, has been struck with wonder at the onterpriso displayed by this journal, which it mildly calls a "famous' newspaper, in tho matter of Father Hyacinthe. As Mr. Weller observed upon his erotio per ficcntiors, we "don't take no pride out on it." It is by no means a difficult thing to astonish and awe-strike your English journalist with a stroke of newspaper enterprise, nor do we enjoy a monopoly of producing that sensa tion in his insular and figuratively as well as literally hide-bound bosom. Even the Tri bune, which prints such very stale news for New York, is a prodigy of enterprise in Lon don, as it is a literary and political prodigy at home. But the Saturday ltecinw, in its won der over the feats which, we beg to assure it, mere mortal men can attain to do by the use of merely natural means, goes so far as to attribute to us superhuman powers and supernatural agencies. It is not, per haps, surprising that an unenlightened and superstitious Saturday lierir.ie should take this view of an achievement so impossible to the faculties of its compatriotio journals. Even as tho credulous German populations were wont to ascribo an intimacy with tho infernal powers to tho mythical Faust be cause ho was equal to feats of intelligence which baflled them, or a-j tho authorities of Paris prosecuted tho historical Faust on a charge of "magic" for inventing that art of printing which the World has only utilized and extended so immeasurably beyond its original scope as to make of it in effect a new creation, do the scoffers of the S'turduy Review now charge upon us tho sorceries and conjurations which its prototypes charged upon ours. But time- has shown how ridicu lous tho chorgo was in their cases, and pos sibly the British journal of Willi will have advanced ro far beyond the British journal of the present period that Englishmen and Saturday Reviewers of that rewoto epoch can appreciate and explain, without resorting to the theory of supernatural interposition, tho deeds done in tho World of ixr,1.). Tho spocitio allegation of the Saturday Jli'r view is that this journal would, if it had au opportunity, "interview the devil." Doubt less it would, and glory in the chance of con futing that potcntato out of his own mouth. The only Englishman whom tradition assures us to have had tho favor of an interview with him is St. Dunstan, who, with the same blind ness of what possesses human interest that characterizes his successor the British jour nalist of to-day allowed his visitor to return without oven taking notes of the conversa tion for the benefit of his "homo organ," tho Chronicle of Glastonbury Abbey. The Ger mans are not reputed livoly journalists, but Martin Luther certainly showed more appre ciation of the availability of the devil than St.' Dunstan. Whereas the canonized Eng lishman let him go unreported, the excom municated Protestant, as vulgar persons would put it, "slung ink" at him like a man and a reporter. In this particular, we avow ourselves imitators rather of the German than the English model. But, though we thus maintain tho propriety of interviewing the Devil, by way of making known his views to our great constituency, the members of which are total strangers to him, we do not see that it would result in any practical advantage. We would then have him at first hand, it is true, but we are not without utterances plainly inspired by him, and authentic contemporaneous exposi tions of his opinions. V e read, and occa sionally quote, the Saturday Rceiem. We have actually interviewed and reported the incarnate Henry Ward Beecher. And daily we receive and read and refute the messages which tho personage in question daily de livers upon the fourth page of tho Tribune. Thus it will be seen that we do virtually "in terview tho Devil," as tho Saturday Rerieie justly avers that we stand ready to do. Those little personal details of horns and hoofs and tail, which alone would be supplied by such an interview as that periodical suggests, would be interesting, no doubt, but they would add nothing to our practical know ledge. The natural curiosity which the Saturday Reviewers feel about these, his in cidental appendages, must bo postponed, we fear, until they do their own porsonal and posthumous interviewing with him. To show the absurd misappreciation of "in terviewing" in the British mind, we may ob serve that tho Saturday lit rieie proposes to import it into the British realms. This is well enough. But to what end? To let the British public know tho opinion of the Queen and the Archbishop of Canterbury npon the World' account of the slums of London, or some such subject of transcendent moment? To give to tho British public an easy and col loquial expresssion of the views of thoir statesmen, philosophers, divines, and trades men upon the uppermost questions of poliiiyt religion, nnd finance? Not at all. Having got this benign and instructive custom natu ralized, the Saturday lii oicie would prosti tute it to the scurvy purpose of drawing out "Mr. Ay 1 ton." Just Heavens! Who is Ayr ton, tLat public journals should be cumbered with him? Thus doos "tho eye sco in any thing what it hns the means of seeing," and thus does tho British mind degrade tho last best fcif't of America to man. CANDIDATES FOR SPEAKER. Vom the Lancattcr Expretm, Wo notice that Rome of tho Democratic newHpnpers, including those in ITarrisburg a iid Lancaster, are up in arms ugainst th selection by tho Democratio members of the lower houKo of tho Legihiuturo' of Kauiuol Josephs, of Philadelphia, ns their candidate for Speaker of the J louse at tlio opening of the M-seion in Junuary. It appears that Jo sephs has boon sending out circular soliciting the votes of his fellow Democratio members ,for the place, not that there is any chance for his election, but that he may be recognized as tho leader of the party in the House, and his personal influence thus be increased. These papers denounce him as "the prinoe of those professional legislators who make money by making laws," one who "hires votes and pays his hirelings in open day;" in short, he has beon known in the Legislature here tofore as a corruptionist of tho deepest dye, always ready to join the corrupt nion among the Republicans in evory scheme to plunder the treasury or put monoy in thoir own pockets. It is alleged by the papers in question that B. B. Strang, of Tioga, who is declared to be the head and front of the Republican division of the corrupt ring last winter, will be tho candidate of tho Republican caucus for Speaker, and will undoubtedly bo elected; and it is intimated that the object in making Mr. Josephs the Democratio candidate is to allow tho Republicans to escape from tho odium that would naturally attach to the choico of such a man as Strang, by showing that the Democratic candidato was equally if not more elishonost and corrupt, and thus deprive the Democratic party of the political capital they would otherwise bo able to make out of the bad conduct of tho Republicans. It is no doubt true that tho corruptioni.sts in both parties would regard it as a groat point gained to have tho opposite party, as well as thoir own, committed and put upon the record as functioning the various rascally Bchemes of plunder which rogues in and out of the Legislature are constantly couoocting, and we must acknowledge that tho Domu cratic newspapers which protest against the adoption of a course on the part of thoir members, which would lornl countonance to the worst and most assailable acts of their political adversaries, deserve credit, and are pursuing a policy the best calculated of all others to strengthen their party. In the Republican party also, no loss than in the Democratio, its worst enotnics, who will surely load it to destruction if they suc ceed in their projects, are those of its own household, who would organize the Legisla ture in such a way as to proclaim by ac tions, speaking louder than any words, that corruption is triumphant, and plundering the public treasury for private benofit to bo tho order of the day. Let the Republi can press throughout the State show itself no less jealous of tho honor and integrity of their party than their political opponents are of theirs sounding the alarm against all stich corrupt Rchemes as have disgraced the record of recent sessions of the Legislature with their authors and supporters and their voiee will bo heeded and tho party saved. Tho Republican party of Pennsyl vania has not so great a preponderance of numbers over its Democratic competitor that it can afford to allow itself to bo com mitted in favor of legislative extravagance, corruption, and general disregard cf the in terests and wishes of the people, especially after the Democratic part-, taking warning by and avoiding our error.-?, shall present itself before tho people as the champion of honest legislation, and shall givo evidence of its sincerity by refusing to recognize as its cindidatfs men vho have heretofore bom identified with corrupt lueasuros aud schemes. THE COAL QUESTION AND THE DUTY OF CONGRESS, f'om the A". Y. Time. Very soon after Congress meets it will be called upon to take into consideration tho popular grievanco in regard to coal. New Lngland, New xork, and New Jersey are at issue with a few mining and railroad corpo rations who, by Keeping tho market at an exorbitant rate, are able to obstruct indus tries, and to add another to the many ills which the poor have to bear. Where the duty of our representatives lies is clear. The question is whether they will allow themselves to be overridden by those corporations, and iuduced to refuse a measure of justice im peratively demanded. The case is a peculiarly hard one from a double point of view. New England, New Jersey, and this State depend necessarily for their anthracite coal upon the mines of Pennsylvania. But the same capi talized influence control1 ;ng both mines and the railroads by which their product is dis tributed, the price to consumors is kept by its action at a rate which constitutes a severe burden. At the same time the Atlantic coast, which has within reach a supply of bituminous coal, at a reasonable first cost, is deprived of that supply by a tax which is at once impolitio and unjust. The tax is upheld that the mines may charge for the coal an unfair price, and that tho railroads may grow richer by carrying it at charges which are beyond all reason. The producing cost of a ton at tho pit's mouth (say at Mauch Chunk) is about &r8.". to which may be atlded a few cents more for commission and so forth. Ihe New Jersey Central Railroad charges $11 a ton for freight to Elizabeth, making the total cost there about !?.". But the cargo price at Elizabeth is, or was a lew days ago, $4V0 a ton for lump, stove, and steamer coal. We see hero tho enormous profits gained by the mining and railway companies, and the consequent hardship inflicted upon the publio. Of course the Atlantio coast, which asks for the u-o of Nova Scotia coul, but is denied, (ares much worse, on account ot its greater dis tauce from tho mines. And the example given applies to tho Reading Railroad also. which charges a ton for the ninety miles between 1'ort itoruon and 1'ort Rich mond. On the other hand, tho Ohio and Baltimore RoRd, a much more expensive one as to working, from tho ttoepncss of its giades, carries coal from Cumberland to Locust Point, more thnn d mblo the distance of that be tween Ports Carbon and Richmond, lor 2 .ill. The mining corporations have been en abled to produce these results by a system of regulating the market and by producing htiikep, suspensions, aud every possible means or alarming the public, and the ran roads have abetted them. Not only have they done this, but by studious misreprosen tations both have created the impression lhat the supply was unequal to the ileuiand, and that prices must still go higher. Tho consumers, however, or all of them who could do bo, refused to "lay in btonks" in obedience to these alarmist cries, end tho truth becomes understood that "only is the supply cental to, but largely in excess of popular requirements. It is, to be boyed that JttiiH abstinence from purch iso will be persisted in. There seems, indeed, no reason why. in a very large number of cases, tho fcystom of laving up tho winter's supply may not altogether cease. At all evonts, tho time has come when Congress must look tho matter square in the face, and see how far it is justified in preserving a tax on Nova Sootia ,voh, which injures the iron manufactures of the Atlantic seaboard, which operates with jiiufuir preference in favor of tho Ptmunylva- nia iron tunnuftttiturer. and whioh onalle the eenl intt rt bin to imrm&e upon tha poor, Mid ol hlructg every industry which depemlH upon coul for its woil in'j. Tho railroud nionopo- ics and the miners, who austain each other n opposing the repeal of the duty on foreign bituminous coal, must be brought to reason.
