THE VIRGINIA BILL SIGNED THE PO LITICAL SITUATION. Trom the JV. T. World. President Grant hns signed the Virginia bill, and the Stato will of course submit to the unjust conditions imposed npon her by a tyrannical and domineering Congress. Simi lar conditions will be exacted, and the tyranny be in like manner submitted to, in Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas; when this infamous business of "reconstruction" will be fnally Consummated. But the hour of triumph will be the turn ing point in the political tide, and the for tunes of the Republican party will begin to decline from the moment that the subjuga tion of the South seems complete. Vaulting Stmbition will find that it has overleaped itself and fallen on the other side. This device of universal negro suffrage will return to plague the inventors. We are not blind to the seeming security for their unhallowed work in which the Re publican party thinks itself so strongly in trenched. That party, at present, holds posseBttion of every branch of the Govern ment. The Presidency is theirs for three years from the Sd of next March. Their ma jority in the Senate is so large that, con sidering the long terms of the Senators, it will take at least four years to destroy it. When the present vacancies in the Supreme Court are filled, they will have seven of the nine judges of that tribunal; and considering the advanced age of one of the remaining two, there is perhaps more than an even chance that they will have eight of the nine before President Grant goes out of office. With such advantages on the side of the Re- Eublioans, it would of course be futile for the emocratio party to begin a new agitation for the repeal of the reconstruction acts. Kegre suffrage is certain to prevail in the South until alter the next Presidential elec tion; and it is quite certain that the Demo cratic party will not make that an issue in the next national canvass. The Southern blacks will all participate in the next Presidential election; but the Demo cratic party in the South will divide the negro vote and control enough of it to secure every Southern State for the Demo cratic candidate. By this means we shall not only elect the President, but revolu tionize the Senate even before the terms of the carpet-bag Senators expire. The South ern Senators, if they wish to continue in politioal life, cannot afford to be in opposi tion to the preponderating publio senti ment of their own States. Even, the malig nant Brownlow is falling under the suspioion of the radicals since the conservative triumph in Tennessee. In all the reconstructed States, the first elections which take place after their admission will bring the Democratic party into power, and the Legislatures will steadily instruct their Senators in Congress to vote for the favorite measures of the South. In future elections, the Republicans will have lost the advantages which enabled them to carry so many Southern States in the first organization of their new governments. The Freedmen's Bureau, by which the negroes were fed, clothed, and protected, was a vast electioneering engine which enabled the Re publican party to conduct its canvass in those States at the expense of the Federal Govern ment. They will find it no easy matter to raise several millions a year for election ex penses in the South out of their own private Eocketa. Moreover, the Southern elections ave been conducted under military supervi sion, and carried by military terror and coer cion. The registration of voters was made by military authority; appointees of the military officers superintended the polls, counted the votes, made the returns, and the command ing genrral has certified and declared the re sult. Hereafter the Republican party will have no such advantages. They can neither lure the negroes by rations and flattery nor overbear and silence the whites by menace and military violence. The Republicans will never carry another election in the South after all the States are readmitted. The Southern Democrats will possess great advantages for influencing and controlling the negroes. The prolonged perfidy, tyranny, and malignity of Congress have made the respectable white population of theSouth unan imous in their detestation of the Republican party, so that the whole weight of white in fluence will be cast into one scale. If there were two considerable parties among the Southern whites, the anti radical pressure upon the negro mind would not be so uni form, constant, and effective as it is likely to prove when all the wealth, intelligence, respectability, and political skill of the Southern communities contribute to sur round the negroes with a Democratio atmo sphere. Most of the negroes are laborers for wages, and the whites will exert all the influenoe of intelligent employers over Ignorant employes.. When the negroes get into difficulty and need loans, they will bor row of the whites, who will exert all the influ ence of debtors over creditors. The negroes are, after their rude fashion, a very religious and emotional race; and liberal contributions by the whites for the support of their preachers and churches, will win their hearts and lay them under obligations of which they will aot be unmindful in the elections. The negroes are fond of excitement, and great lovers of good cheer, and nothing will be easier than for the Southern politi cians to practise upon this weak side . of their character. If the elections are made festive enough; if they are gay with processions, banners, and inusio; if great bar bacues are held, at which fat oxen are roasted whole and liquors poured out in profusion, and prominent parts are assigned to the negroes in conducting such jovialities, there will be little difficulty in controlling negro votes. Nearly all the property in the South la in the hands of Democrats, and it is only the Democratio party that can make a great and captivating dinplay in this kind of elec tioneering festivities. To suppose that they will not have a powerful effect in Southern politios, would evince great ignorance of the negro character. i THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL BATTLE.! From the X. T. Sun. The next House of Representatives may prove to be abodyof extraordinary import ance, for it will not only have to legislate upon subjects of unusual magnitude, but it may have to elect a President. The evidences of wide diversities of opinion on loading questions become day by day more apparent in each of the political parties. Q'hese diversities break out in the debates of Congress and of State Legislatures, in the messages of Governors and the resolutions of conventions, through the columns of publio Journals and the speeches of private indi viduals. The opinions of the Western Demo cracy, for example, are decidedly opposed to those of the Eastern in regard to the proper mode of reducing the national debt and en larging the volume of the currency; while, on the other hand, the Western Republicans differ from the Eastern quite as Boriously on free trade and a high protective tariff. In deed, the Western leaders of both parties are more in accord with one another on financial and commercial subjocts than with distin guished members of their respective organiza tions on this side of the AUaunies. Ho, tod, we find ahlag6C4ltlo opinions be tween the North and the South on reodn Rtiuction, the validity of the so-called carpet bug governments, the permanency of the fifteenth amendment, and the admission of the whole body of the late rebels to the right to vote end hold office. If we are to trust the inost solemn declarations of the leaders of those peculiar elements below the Potomac and the Ohio, npon which the Demooraoy must rely for a party in that sootion of the Union, they intend to aocept in good faith the whole series of reconstruction measures. On the other hand, magnates of the Northern Democracy seem ready to stake the triumph of the party on the success of a fierce crusade against these measures. Now, though these four factions have some points of agreement, they exhibit so many more of antagonism that it seems hardly pos sible to preserve old party organizations in tact after the pressure exercised by the great exigencies of the last dozen years is removed. There is, therefore, a serious probability that we may see four formidable candidates in the field for the next Presidency, instead of only two. Our history records several occasions of this sort. The most conspicuous was in 1824, at the general dissolution of old parties near the close of Monroe's administration, an epoch, by-the-by, very similar to the present. Five candidates entered the lists Jaokson, Adams, Crawford, Clay, and Calhoun. The last named soon retired, leaving the other four to contend for the prize. Crawford was the regular Democratio candidate, Adams represented the policy and the wishes of Monroe, Jaokson reflected the passions and the enthusiasm of the West, while Clay, who had long been the eloquent advocate in Con gress of a protective tariff and internal im provements, relied npon his personal popularity. The result of the struggle is instructive. The caucus candidate of the Democracy was beaten for the first time in twenty-four years, Crawford receiving only 41 votes. Clay got but 37, while Jackson obtained 99, and Adams 84. There being no choice by the Presiden tial Electors, the names of the three highest candidates were sent to the House of Repre sentatives, when Adams, through the aid of Clay, was chosen, thus giving occasion for a cry of bargain and corruption against those eminent statesmen that rang through the land for a dozen years afterwards. For all substantial purposes, Crawford and Adams were regular candidates of the two parties; yet the large majority of the people ignored their claims; and why? Because the ancient regime in each party had lost its prestige; and, more especially, because the issues out of which sprang the war with England in 1812, and on which the two par ties had been divided, had passed away, and the people would not tolerate further conten tion about them, but demanded a reorganiza tion of parties, and the consideration of the new questions then rising for settlement. Is not the nation just entering upon a state of affairs analogous to that whioh marked the Jackson and Adams epoch? Do party leaders believe they can carry the two old political organizations unbroken through the coming campaign? Let them look to the materials that will compose the next House, for it is very likely to be culled upon to eleot the next President. SHALL WE HAVE A NEW CONFLICT WITH THE MORMONS? From the X. T. Times. Mr. Cullom's bill for the suppression of polygamy in Utah has evoked from the Mor mon a a fierce protestation that they will fight sooner than submit to it. The whole temper of Brigham Young and of his people upon the subject is defiant and belligerent. To all appearance it must soon become a practioal question whether the measure is to be pushed to a bloody issue. This question could be settled forthwith if it could rest only on the two fixed points that polygamy is a monstrous evil, and that the authority of the Government ought to prevail within its own territories. But these are not necessarily the controlling considerations. They do not control in our wars with Indians, who murder, scalp, pillage, and burn, and practise other evils quite as bad, perhaps, as polygamy, and who, though living within the national territories, are equally defiant of the national authority. Our attitude towards the Indians is determined not simply by gene ral principles, either moral or political, but by considerations of expediency. In con sidering whether to fight any tribe of them, we ask whether our objeet can be gained by war and by war only, eud whether it is worth the expenditure of blood and treasure neces sary to accomplish it. When we are forced to a negative conclusion in these respects, we pronounce the war bad policy, and abstain from it. Why should we not apply some thing of the same method to our relations to those other anomalous people of our Western wilderness ? We bear in mind that the Indian evils are not of a permanent character that they must pass away as the country becomes more settled, and the Indians more exposed to the influences of civilization. Why may we not as well avail ourselves of Time as an ally against the Mormons ? Why need we in their case any more resort to violence to fore stall results which anyhow are inevitable ? It is as certain as anything can be, that Mormon heathenism is as short-lived as Indian savagery. We have only to wait for that great inlet of civilization, the Pacific Railroad, te get at its full work, when we shall see the beginning, in Utah, of a quick assimilation with the life, habits and laws of the rest of the country. Polygamy and every other relio of barbarism would soon melt away. We have already seen much of this operation, even before the road has attained its develop ment. Our Salt Lake City correspondent has been constantly chronicling different forms of disaffection in the Territory with the established order of things, and a growing disposition' to form in dependent opinions, more in con formity with the spirit and consoienoe of the age. There can be no doubt that the increasing contiguity with civilization is pro ducing a solvent effect upon Mormonism. But even apart from that, the nature of its own system is necessarily short-lived. It is too rotten, inherently, to last. Like every other system opposed to Divine law, it carries within itself the seeds of its own destruction, and in due time must perish, whatever man does, or fails to do. They every way miss the point who argue against Mormonism aia foul stain whioh must endure forever unless exter minated by the strong arm. We must not forget that, if let aloue, it cannot, at the worst, survive another generation.. , We have tried the strong arm already with I no good result. The anti-Mormon war, du ring the Presidency of Mr. Fillmore, was con ducted with all the effloloncy possible at that day, under very able commanders and with almost unlimited expense. It made no im pression of any lasting value. The only gain that came from it fell into the hands of au in satiate horde of army contractors. And they are the very gentry nowadays who care most to see the experiment repeated. We bolioYO that our present finances do not warrant it, and ate quite as sure that no true interests of the country require it. SENATOR REVEL. From the S. Y. Tribune. Senator Revel is daily expected to make his appearance in Washington. As the first col ored man ever elected to the United States Senate, there is an exceptional interest in the event. There is not the slightest doubt that he will be received with all proper courtesy and treated with due respect. There is yet some legislation required in regard to the ad mission of the representatives of the State of Mississippi, from which he has been elected; but it will not need much time for its accom plishment; and immediately thereafter Senator Revel will take his seat with his colleague, Senator Alcorn, in the Senate. We have net heard muoh of Senator Revel, but those things we have heard of him are calculated to give assurance that he is well fitted for the position to which he has been elected. In the first place he is reported to be a thoroughly respectable man; and this is saying much in days like these, when we see so many men who are not respectable elected to high office. Moreover, he is not only possessed of this intrinsic qualification, but he has the sat isfaction of knowing that it has brought its reward, for a writer who knows him declares that he is respected by whites and blaoks alike. This is certainly a most desirable thing for a Senator; and we should think even more highly than we now do of the Senate if the same remark could be made of every one of its members. In the second place, Senator Revel appears to be a man of char acter and principle. We infer this from hii life-long devotion to moral labors. In his youth, he gratified his craving for knowledge by studying in various schools and semi naries, and as soon as he was properly pre pared he became a teacher and preaoher, in which pursuits he has spent the greater part of his life, and in whioh he has accomplished a large amount of good, not only by his sermons, but by organizing churches. These are strong points in favor of the new Senator. It is something, in these days of corruption, to be able to point to an honorable life and a career of service in the cause of humanity and morals. We should think even more highly than we now do of the Senate if every one of its members had a record of this kind. In the third place, Senator Revel appears to be a truly loyal man. He was a resident of Maryland when the war broke out, and he at once took an aotive part in raising colored troops for the defense of the Union. Subsequently we hear of his aotivity in various loyal works. After the capture of Vicksbnrg, he assisted the Provost Marshal in his duties, and at several other points he rendered important service to the Union authorities. This is another strong point in favor of the new Senator, and will bring him high credit in a body all of whose members (including Garret Davis) boast of their loyal devotion to the Union. In the fourth place, Senator Revel is a man who has had some experience in publio life and in minor official positions. He was a member of the City Council of Natchez, where his friends say he served with honor, and he was also elected to the State Senate of Mississippi. So that he is not an absolute novice in poli tics, and this, also, is a point in his advan tage as a Senator. Taking all these things into consideration, we see many reasons to believe that Senator Revel will prove to be an excellent Senator that he will do nothing to degrade the body of which he is a member, but that, on the contrary, he will be a credit to it. A Senator who is at onoe a man of principle, of loyalty, of respectability, of Christian morality, of experience and intelligence, need not be afraid to take his place in the highest legislative body in the world.
