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.
