2 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1870. srxxixT or inn mrss. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THE CASE OF WHITTEMORE. From the X. 1'. World. The re-election of Whittemore by a heavy majority brings up two question!! of very unequal intercut. The first and minor ques tion relates to his reception by the House which pronounced him unfit for a neat, and would have expelled him if he had not, like the snake's in St. Patrick's time, "committed Huicjde to save himself from slaughter." The other and more important question has reference to the fitness of a negro constitu ency to make a creditable use of the elective franchise. The mere parliamentary question has no great popular interest. We incline to think that Whittemore will be admitted, and that, on the whole, he ought to be admitted to his seat. His exclusion would set a bad prece dent; a precedent all the more dangerous from the fact that he would be rejected by a Congress controlled by his own political party. We should be sorry to see it established as a principle of parliamentary law that an ex pelled member can be a second time excluded if he has been re-elected by the voters of his district. There is no conceivable limit to the abuses which might be perpetrated under color of such a principle. It might easily be pushed to such an extent as to make the will of a party majority of the House supreme over the choice of any Congressional con stituency, and enable a political faction to maintain itself in power in defiance of the people. If an expelled member's constituents condone his offense, it is safer to give him a new trial, and let hiB place depend upon his subsequent conduct, than to incur the risk of subordinating the will of the people to the caprice of a partisan majority in the House. It is doubtless a bad thing to have a district represented by an unworthy or an infamous member. But it would be a worse thing to deprive the people of their freedom of choice in the election of their representatives. We do not recollect any previous instance of the re-election of a member who had been expelled (Whittemore 's retirement was equi valent to an expulsion) for a scandalous breach of trust. It is only a negro constitu ency that could be so wanting in self-respoct. But after admitting negroes to the suffrage, we must accept the legitimate consequences of the experiment. All the Congressional constituencies must stand on the same level, and are entitled to the same rights. If a white constituency should return an expelled member, their right to choose their repre sentatives ought to be respected, and until he has committed some new offense, he should be received in deference to his con stituents. So far as we are aware, this principle has always been recognized. In the debate on the expulsion of Lyon and Griswold, in 1708, one of the speakers re marked, "In order to get rid of these re proaches, he hoped all parties would unite in expelling these members. If their con stituents choose to send them back, he hoped no member would associate with or take notice of them." Which clearly implied that the House had no power to exclude them from their seats if they should be re-elected after expulsion. In the debate on the proposed expulsion of Lyon, the next year, Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, one of the ablest members of the body, made remarks which conveyed the same implication. Lyon, whose term had not expired, had been sentenced by a oourt, and during his imprisonment had been elected for the next Congressional term; and his frieads argued that if the people of Vermont chose to have him for their representative nobody had a right to object. Mr. Bayard's reply admitted that his re-election entitled him to his' seat for the next term if he should be expelled for the residue of the unexpired term. He said that "the member was not re-elected to the present Congress, nor was any return made of his re-election to the next." A line of remark which clearly im plies that a re-election for the same term would operate as a eondonation of his offense. The return of Whittemore, a disgraced member, challenges attention chiefly by its bearing on the fitness of the Southern negroes for the political duties thrust upon them by the reconstruction experiment. The case of Whittemore has more notoriety than that of the other carpet-bag members; but the new Southern representatives are pretty much alike. Whittemore is a conspicuous Bample of the whole lot. The First District of South Carolina, from which he is elected, has a greater preponderance of negro voters than any other Congressional district in the South, and therefore furnishes a somewhat more striking illustration of the operation of universal negro suffrage. The experiment must be judged by its fruits; and thus far its fruits justify the opposition made to it by the Democratic party. The experiment must in deed run its course ; but it is to be hoped that it will not always produce results so scandalous as have thus far attended it. lielief is to be looked for, for the present generation at least, rather in the political skill with which the negroes are managed than in the progress of their rude apprentice ship. The natural leaders of Southern poli tics have been so fettered and repressed since the war, that we have not any sufficient data for judging what the negro voters may be brought to do under their guidance and con trol. That they can be easily influenced by local leaders is proved by the success of Whittemore, who has had no difficulty in get ting himself re-eleoted in spite of the ban put upon him by the Republican leaders at the Federal capital. One discredited man in close intercourse with the negroes secures more of their confidence than the whole Itepublioan party elsewhere. They have all the credulity of ignorance, and can easily be manipulated and practised upon. In the course of a year or two tney may fall under tne control or a better class of leaders than the interloping Radicals who went South with the army and the Freedmen's Bureau. If it were still an of f n question whether they should be in trusted with the suffrage, it ought to be de cided in the negative. But since they possess the dangerous privilege, political skill must attempt to avert, as far as possible, the mis chiefs of the experiment. At the very worst, the evil will bring some compensations. If the negroes shall continue to elect such scandalous follows as Whitte more and the other carpet-baggers, the section they represent will nave no influence in Con press. In former days the ascendancy of the South in the national councils was out of all proportion to its numbers, owing to the vigor, ability, and character of the Southern representatives, lne carpet-baggers are re garded with contempt, and they and their constituents will be alike despised until the Southern whites regain their old political influence. We shall be disappointed if tue natural leaders of the South permit them selves to be outdone in the arts by which ignorant voters are controlled.. In the greater part of the South, the whites are a majority, and in such districts they can be neither out voted nor outmanoeuvred. THE TAX BILL AND FINANCIAL QUES TIONS BEFORE CONGRESS. From. the K: I'. IleraltL At last Congress has begun to work earn estly at the different measures relating to taxation, funding the national debt, the cur rency, and other money questions. One or the other of these questions is up every day end pretty fully discussed. Still they are in such a state of chaos, there is such a wide difference of opinion about them, and the two houses have for the most part such sepa rate and conflicting bills, that we cannot yet see what shape legislation will ultimately take. A great part of the session has been wasted on these measures. There is not time now for any such comprehensive legislation on them as the country needs, and there does not nppear to be the statesmanlike ability in Congress for that. We must be contented, therefore, with the best that we can get. The Funding bill reported by General Schenck from the Committee of Ways and Means differs from the Senate bill, and has been a good deal modified since it was first introduced and went to the committee. It provides for funding a thousand millions of the debt at the uniform rate of four per cent, interest. The new bonds or consols will have thirty years to run, and it is believed by Mr. Schenck that the holders of the five twenties and capitalists will be willing to ex change their securities or to purchase- the new ones at par. It is thought that the dif ference in interest between the expiring or short-time six per cents, and the new four per cents will find a compensation in the in creased value of the thirty-year bonds. Ihen, with a view to bring them to par value, it is proposed to exempt the new securities from all taxation, and to cease paying interest on the old securities as tney become due, unless the holders surrender them to the Government at their par value. It has to be seen how far the holders of the five-twenties will volunta rily change them for the thirty-year bonds. The reduction of one-third the interest makes a great difference. But as the five-twenties full due the holders of them will be compelled either to take the new four per cents or pay ment in money for their bonds at par value. Ibis is perfectly fair on the part of the Gov ernment, and, indeed, liberal, considering that the bonds, which did not cost over fifty or sixty per cent, in currency, are to be re deemed in gold. It is questionable, however, as was said before, if the bondholders will take the four per cents at par, and in that case there is reason to fear the Government will not be able to find the gold to redeem such a vast amount of securities. Would it not have been better, as the Committoe of Ways and Means have gone so far in pro posing to reduce the interest, to have adopted the more simple plan of changing the whole debt into consols bearing 3-63 per cent, in terest, and to have made them convertible into money and reconvertible at the option of the holder? Some of the other features of the Funding bill are good enough. Authorizing the Secre tary of the Treasury to use the gold in his vaults to buy up and cancel the six per cent, debt, and providing for the cancellation of the debt already purchased, are proper provi sions. It is doubtful, however, if the clause constituting the Treasury a sort of gigantia bank of deposit is either sound in theory or can be practically carried out. 1 his would make the Treasury Department what it was never intended to be, would complicate its business very much, and would be a doubtful and dangerous experiment. Then, how is it that nothing is said about the national bank? being required to take the new four per cent. securities in this bill? It was proposed that these institutions should be compelled to take the new bonds to deposit as security for their circulation. This would absorb three hundred millions of them, at least. Why are the banks thus favored? Have the national bank interests and lobby proved more power ful than the Committee of Ways and Means or than Congress? The whole interest on the securities deposited by the banks is clear profit and a clear gift from the Government; for they get the profits on the currency sup plied by the Government, and surely they ought to assist in funding the debt at a lower rate of interest. The bill reducing taxation, which was fought so desperately by the high tariff men, is one of the best measures of the session. But it has yet to run the gauntlet of the Senate. The reduction is on many articles of prime necessity, and to the estimated amount of about fifty millions a year. There might have been a greater reduction of taxes; for the revenue of the country would have borne that, and a large surplus income only leads to extravagance and corruption; but this is a step in the right direction. There is no time now to remodel at the present session our tax and revenue system, and we may be thankful for the best we can get. Still the whole svstem is complicated and far too costly. We ought to raise a sufficient income from a few articles of luxury and general consumption, as England does, and this would reduce the army of office-holders and the cost of collection. One of the best propositions that has been made in Con gress on financial and currency matters was that of Mr. Randall on luesday to issue legal tender notes in place of the national bank currency. This would save eighteen millions in gold a year to the Treasury and give the country a uniform and perfectly reliable cir culating medium. But whatever Congress is coins to do with regard to these various measures relative to the taxation, finances, and currency of the country should be done at once. While they are pending business is suspended to a great extent, i'eople are nn willing to do anything while the future is uncertain. Let us nave some decision soon, so that trade, commerce, and business gene rally may follow their usual course, and that the people may know what lies before them. SOUTHERN LITERATURE. From, the N. T. Tribune. Can anybody tell ns what is "The Poes que ?" Of Toe, per e, most of the old habi tues of newspaper olnoes in New York have a very distinct remembrance as an exceedingly seedy, ill-conditioned individual, who wrote. when sober, some genuine poetry, and when drunk a good deal of labored trash. The few real poems are there to speak for themselves; unhealthy and powerful as some poisonous growth, yet giving evidence oi a unique, absolute genius, both tempting and impos sible for mere talent to counterfeit. Lately, however, he has gone up among the gods of the South. Every new aspirant for literary honors, below Mason and Dixon's line, is now approved or condemned as Poesque or non-Poesane. The new adjective troubles ns. If to be Poesque meaus that these peopla are out of money, and out at elbows, trying to make their daily bread or moruinc bitters by scribbling verses or siau deiu upon men who befriended them, the cim is lamentable enough; but if it means that tbe mob of gentlemen and ladies who write with such alarming ease in the South all design to draw their inspiration from "the scoriae rivers that roil their sulphurous cur rents down Yaanek,"the state of affairs is appalling and must be looked to at once. The Wertherian and Byronio epidemic! in our fathers' days were disastrous; but what are we to do if the Southern school girls and boys, instead of going into well-conducted offices or shops, permanently abandon them selves to "tbe mad pride of intellectuality, or to wandering down ghoul-haunted wood lands with Psyche their soul ? buch a catastrophe really seems imminent. A crop of novelists, poets, and essayists has sprung up in the South since the war thick as mushrooms after a rain. There is, too, a coLstant boastful attempt to parade and thrust them en masse upon our notice. The latest compilation contains two hundred and forty writers, all living, and with the great majority of them Poe's poems seem actually to have constituted the sole literature with which they were acquainted. The compilation is worth attention, as it gives very fairly an in sight into the present intellectual condition of the South as developed in literature. The editor indulges, from preface to finis, in a perpetual cackle of delight, lie marshals his best, from Mrs. South worth to the callow fledgling who has chirped feebly once or twice in the county newspaper, as the immortals at whose coming the ancient masters, Greek as well as English, will hasten to yield their long held thrones. When we know that this Mrs. Southworth and the author of St. Elmo (as the "De Stael of America ) lead this troop, we can have a very fair conception of their rank and quality. J hero is something pitiable to us iu all this. We cannot laugh at the proud display of "keen satires written by young ladies as graduating odes," at the wild confusion of "scintillating gleams zephyrs freighted with perlunie horror-glares magnolia blooms the tragedies about Greek maidens, Scandi navian gods, or Aztec prophets,"' that rush pell-mell out of the brains of this people when the first outlet of pen and ink is given them. If now and then a glimpse of plain natural feeling appears, the editor hastens to apologize for the homeliness, and turns us to some author "intensely Southern;" by which he means, he tells us, "abound iug in uncontrolled emotion, clothed in tropical drapery." What can be done with these people ? Is it worth while to bit down and reason with them ? to tell them that vague Raspings for thought. without definite thought iu the brain, and the utterance instead of a weak dribble of flamboyant adjectives, is not literature? Can thev understand that "never to have spent more than two hours in writing the longest effort of his muse" does not "speak volumes for the genius of Mr. Flash," but accounts for the effusions so worthy of his name. Are Bombast and Gush ineradicable in their nature? When, in the language of one of themselves, "the amber-hued Falernian of truth and the aromatic Tokay of passion are set before them," must they always choose the Tokay? e chose to be more hopeful about our Southern brethren, and to reject this book, and in fact any recent offering they have made to literature, as a lair sign of their in tellectual status. Surely the experience of the last ten years has taught them steruer and nobler lessons than this mawkish sentimen tality. During the war their actions proved them to be brave men and resolute, lonc-en- duriDg women. "They learned in suffering," says our editor, "what they here teach in soijg. buttering such as theirs ordinarily teaches very little song, but a large amount of sound common sense; and however much their literature may belie them, we believe they learned the lesson. "It was Ares who led them to Athenie," says their eulogist, explaining the sudden appearance of southern writers alter the war. Heaven forbid that the dragon's teeth should yield another such crop! But the truth is, we be lieve that the books which have inundated us are no exposition of Southern thought or feeling, but so many attempts to make money. The first mode of money-making to which an educated person turns when thrown on his own resources is almost invariably au thorship. They would shrink from attempt ing to make a table or a chair, yet they go to work boldly at novel, essay, or poem, without materials, tools, or knowledge of even the rudiments of art. Our Southern friends, we trust, as more ways of earning a livelihood open to them, will seek their mistake; and then, when time has made real their new and broader views of life, we may hope for a literature from them that will be as genuine and strong an exponent of their condition as these crude enorts are frothy and worthless. BROTHERS OF THE MYSTIC TIE. From the H. Y. Tinuts. The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York commenced its annual session in this city ou Tuesday, and will probably adjourn on Saturday. It is composed of several hundreds of delegates from the various lodges throughout the State, among whom are many of the most promt nent and influential citizens of the interior. Yesterday was laid the corner-stone of the new Masonic temple to be erected at the cor ner of lwenty-third street and Sixth avenue, The occasion has called together a large assemblage of Masons from various parts of the country, and the publio display promises to exceed anything of the kind witnessed in this city for many years past, several thou sand visitors from abroad being iu attendance. During the past twenty-five years the Ma sonic fraternity in the Lnited States has in creased in strength and influence very rapidly, and it is now the most powerful and numerous secret order among us. It can boast of at least f(!0,(XH) members. After the abduction of Morgan in 1827 the Order fell into disrepute in the Northern States, and most of the lodges were discontinued for nearly ten years, until the political excite nifciit caused by that event had died away, It was not till about 110 that Freemasonry began to revive, but siuce then it has steadily prospered, until now it extends into every county and into the great majority of towns in the State. Freemasdnry flourishes very extonsively in other countries as well as our own. There is no part of the civilized world into whioh it has not been introduced. In Europe it is patronized by most of the governments, and several ruling sovereigns and many of the nobility are members cf the order. There was a time when, iu some of the States, it was prohibited, from an apprehension that it might be made an agency of political mis chief; but we believe that the Pope is now the oiilv ruler who openly denounces it Several jeais ago he issued a bull against the order, threatening excommunication of all Catholics who joined it, the practical result of vthich is said to have been that the Roman coiuiiiurjiou lost more than tbe Freemasons Quite recently the order in the German States has taken decided action against the Pontiff We are told that the Grand Lodgn "The Sun," at Bxyrtuth, has sent an open letter to all the other lodges urging them to keep a watchful eye upon the Vatican, and de nouncing the recent Papal Syllabus as an nnsault upon the moral and spiritual develop ment of the ago. J here are various traditions ai to the origm of Freemasonry, the one most generally ac cepted among the Order being that it was founded by King Solomon at the building of the iemple. Some writers trace striking Analogies between it and the cabala of the Egyptian priesthood, the Elousinian myste ries, and the Essones; but the best authenti cated tradition is that the Order was founded by the roving architects and masons who went about Europe during the Middlo Ages, building Ootbio cathedrals, monasteries, bridges, and other great works. These sub sequently merged into guilds, which finally dropped the operative, and took on what is now known as "speculative" masonry. This was the foundation of modern Froemasonry, and upon it the work and traditions of the Order, as they exist to-day, hae been con structed. It is a great fallacy to suppose that there is any political or sectarian purposo sought to be accomplished by the order, or that there is any unlawful bond of protection to crimi nals who belong to it. It is simply a moral. social, and charitable institution, which has prospered because it responds to the natural instinct of brotherhood, and because it is the means of accomplishing a vast amount of good in an unpretending manner. THE WASHINGTON ELECTION AND ITS LESSON. From the X. Y. Sun. Matthew G. Emery has just been elected Mayor of Washington by about 3009 majority over Sayles J. Bowen. Mr. Emery is a Republican, but opposed to the administra tion of General Grant; while Mr. Bowen is a Republican and the present Mayor, and a warm personal and political fuen4 of tue President. The canvass has developed many points of a peculiar and instructive character. The Democrats early placed a candidate in tlw field; but, when the division in the Repub lican ranks had assumed serious proportions, they wisely withdrew their candidate and ral ricd to the support of Emery and installed him as their accredited leader. The colored voters held the power to de termine the result, and a desperate effort was now commenced to secure their support. Under the lead of Emery the Damocrats con sented to the nomination of a liberal sprink ling of respectable colored men for aldermen and Common Councilmen. They made some very wry faces, but agreed to swallow the Emery concoction. llie administration put forth its utmost exertions to secure the triumph of Bowen. The President took a special interest in his success, for Bowen had figured actively and played a conspicuous part in the matter of the purchase of the famuus house which had been given to General Grant by his admirers. The emissnries of the administration and the attaches of the Executive Mansion perambu lated the departments, and gave the clerks to understand that they were expected to vote for Bowen, and that any delinquency in this crisis would be visited with sore displeasure by the leaders of the Republican party at the. capital. But all was in vain. Tbr negroes turned the scale. And the result is, Emery, Re publican bolter, in the Mayor's chair, and bix colored men in the Common Council chamber ! If the Democratic party of the Union are not given over to hardness of heart and blind ness of mind, they will discover in this Wash ington election the Bign whereby thny ara to conquer in the next Presidential contest. They must divide the negro voto of the South, and thereby carry four-fifths of the States below the Potomao and the Oir'o. The electoral votes of these States, added to those which the party may reasonably hop to obtain in the North, will give them the vic tory. The hour is at hand, but where h the man?
