It is (of course) denounced and exieta.e'd

bomb-proof variety :)- but not many even
of those, talk of Twisting it, whiffle the poi- ;

dwindling. And for this ther e is excellent
reason, in . the fact that, if , the ex-R , be's
refuse to organist' their Slate .. under the

ists (White and Black) wil4 .organize
each of and by themselves.: lf, then, the
er Rebels should insist on testing the con
stitutionality brlhe act bef re the Supreme
Court; they wilt simply compl that Court
to decide whether a State orgz nization by
loyal men in obediktee'to an ' Aet of Con
gresti-or a rival organization by ex-Rebels
itf - defianee of Congress shall 1/8 recogniz

bable that a majority even of our present
Judges will decide.that, issue gainst Con

..
The ten Rebel States are to be ' i.eorgan

are to choose Representatives and SiMatols
to claitn seats in . the present . (X.Ltli) Con.
gress. So much is already wsurelL And
it is moraliy certain that the great: body o
their people. irrespective of palit difference ,
of polities or condition, will pluticipate in
such reorganization and . electie n,

those which in 1866 disrai. d. the cities of
Memphis and New-Orleans., i
.The only clouds on the Ito izon are fair
ly chargeable to an omission by Congress
to prescrib , the machinery w iereby Recon

That the oinision is unflatunate, is al
reach manifest in Virginia and in Louisiana.
In Virginia, the Blacks and other lovalks
are exhorted not to vote it, the election

In Louisiana, it is repor,ed that the ex

persist in this stupidity. if they mean to

not before the niightest and- neglected Lot
