LARBEST CIRCULATION IN THE BUY ANPCOUNTV
FRIDAY JANUARY g6. 1SBO-
thb spkech op senator oool.it-
TL.E OK RECONSTRUCTION.
Senator Howe, a rabid Republican, intro
duced in the Senate, a few days since, a reso
lution virtually annulling the official acts of
President Johnson and establishing provi
sional or territorial governments in the
Southern States. Ou the 17lh inst., Mr. Doo
little, of Wisconsin, the personal and politi
cal Iriend of the President, made a speech in
reply to this revolutionary proposition which
is attracting much attention as a remarkably
clear and forcible exposition of the policy of
the Administration and the constitutional
powers of Congress appertaining to the sub
ject of reconstruction. Tbe elaborate utter
ances of the Senator on the occasion referred
to are entitled to much consideration as the
honest convictions and just reasoning of his
own superior mind, but when regarded as
unerring judications of the fixed and states
manlike policy of our patriotic Chief Magis
trate and the great mass of his supporters,
they assume the highest consequence to the
people of this country.
We therefore propose to give a brief
synopsis of the principal points of Mr. Doo
little's speech, the publication ot which in our
columns is precluded by its great length.
After showing that the question whether
the Southern StateB are in the Union or not
is one of great practical importance, Mr.
Doolittle went ou to prove by various acts of
Congress, and by the constant policy of the
Government, that they are and have always
been held to be in tbe Union. In proof of
this assumption ho quoted largely from the
last public speech made by Mr. Lincoln just
beiore his dentil, aud cited many of his pre
vious official acts to show that he had al
ways held this position. That the loyal peo
ple or the United States, represented at Ball!
more, approved it bj T tbe renomination of
Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency. And, as il to
make the endorsement of this part of Mr.
Lincoln’s policy more emphatic, Mr. Johnson
was nominated for the Vice Presidency, the
very man, of all others, who had for a long
lime been engaged in the great work of re
constructing civil government in the State ot
Tennessee upon tho basis of that policy. It
was objected, says Mr. Doolittle, by some
iu that convention, as it is in Congress, that
Tennessee had no right to representa
tion, hut, on motion of the distinguished
Senator from New York (Preston King),
now no more, her delegates were admitted.
One ot her sons, in spite of the objection ol
Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, that he was from a
foreign State at war with the United States,
aud therefore an alien enemy, was nomina
ted lor Vice President; and by these nomi
nations that policy was sustained by the
Convention. The elecion came ou. That
policy and the administration which pro
claimed it, and the Convention which en
dorsed it, were sustained by the people of
the United States. Alijjding to the fact that
Congress held the States to be in the Union,
he says as soon after the disastrous campaign
of 18G2 as the members of Congress could
conveniently assemble, in that hour of deep
humiliation to the people of the loyal States,
a resolution passed both Houses by an al
most unanimous vote declaring the purpose
of members iu the prosecution of the war,
and especially the determination of Congress
in relation to the status aud rights of the
Southern Stales- In' that hour of defeat,
when humbled betore the nations, Congress
declared almost unanimously :
“That this war is not prosecuted upon our
part in any spirit of oppression, nor for any
purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor pur
pose of overthrowing or interfering with the
rights or established institutions of those
States, but to defend and maintain the su
premacy of the Constitution and all laws
made in pursuance thereof, and to preserve
the Union with all the dignity, equality, and
rights ot the several States unimpaired ; that
as soon as these objects are accomplished
the war ought to cease.”
The speaker,closes this branch of the sub
ject with citations of numerous other in
stances ol Congressional legislation affirming
the indestructibility of the Union.
The radicals, to sustain their theory of
dissolution of the States, lay great stress upon
the appointment of Provisional Governors by
the President in the absence of constitutional
authority to do so. Mr. Doolittle, in his re
marks upon this point, says: tho President
does not make the appointment of these
agents, call them what you please, by virtue
of his authority as a civil Chief Magistrate.
They are not civil appointments. They are
in no sense civil officers, for there is no law
under which they are appointed at all. They
are mere military agents of the President,
as Commander-in-Chicf of the army, who is
bound to ascertain the fact which he must
know before he can discharge bis duty of
mustering the forces out and of withdrawing
the army. He sends these agents into the
several States for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the rebellion is suppressed; not only
•'hetlter the people have ceased armed re
sistance, but intend to submit in good faith
and make no more resistance to the authori
ty of the Government. The reason why the
Administration, instead of employing a Gen
eral in command, appointed special agents
to do this duty, was two-fold : first, because
it was supposed that some person who had
personal influence among the people, who
had not been connected with the army,
might have more influence iu prevailing with
the people to accept the situation war had
brought upod them than one who had passed
through their country in the terrible storm
of war, and whose red right baud had been
to them like the scourge of God.
He next takes up the question of repre
sentation in Congress. Having shown them,
to lie States in the Union, and therefore en
titled to representation under the Constitu
tion; having shown that Congress, by the
same law under which the present House
was elected and organized, apportioned the
two hundred and forty-oue members ju-t a8
much among thdse eleven Southern Stales as
among the remaining twenty-five, aud that
under that law the right of representation is
just as certaip as the right of any Northern
State, he then proceeds to consider whether
the Southern States have properly chosen
Senators and Representatives. On this point
the Senator remarked that the Southern peo
ple may. select men ineligible to seats in
Dither bouse of Congress, but they would be
excluded by the test tlbth. While this would
not take away the right to have representa
tives who are loyal to tbe Union, it would de
prive them for a time of Representatives in
fact. The question was. asked, What se
curity bas the Government that the South
will not rebel again if their Representative
arc admitted ? He answered the question
by another: Would there not be ten fold
more danger of their rebelling if represents
tion is not accorded to them than if it is
Who does not know, he says, that the most
ju-tifinble of all causes of rebellion or revo
iuiion is to tax and goveru a people without
representation? Tbe old Thirteen rebelled
against England for that, and four of these
thirteen are amoug the thirteen which the
resolution before the Senate proposes to ren
der to the territorial condition. Up to this
tune the South never had any justifiable
cause for rebellion. But follow out the po
lii y of exclusiou, aud what all the world
will say is a just cause for war will be given
Mr. Doolittle concluded bis remarks by
saying, the war of blood is over. It is now
a moral warfare; a warfare with the reasons,
hearts, feelings, passions, prejudices and sen
timents of tiie Southern people. And of all
the propositions which can be conceived
there is uouo which will shock the reason, so
deeply wouud the sensibilities, aud so much
rouse the passions and prejudices of that peo
ple as the propositiou to tax and goveru them
without representation. The Southern States
should at once be recognized as being in the
Union, entitled to representation, aud Con
gress should take up for consideration each
State by itself, aud enquire iuto the clectiou
returns and qualifications of those who claim
the right to represent them.

TftlS FRENCH STUDENTS.
• We recently- referred to certain symptoms
of discontent in France with tbe existing
order of things among some of the students
of law and medicine, which had resillted in
their expulsion from the Imperial Academy.
They took the opportunity of ^cnriluting
their discontent at Liege which they claimed
to he beyond tbe limits of their curviculum.
That these refractoiy students have acted in
the spirit of most of the youth of the French
schools, evidence bus been frequently af
forded in French history. The spirit of re
volution has frequently taken its source from
the Ecole Poly technique. They have given
an impulse to political opposition, aud even
imparted a direction to it most dangerous to
existing authority. Whether these schools
are nurseries of sedition, destined to give
trouble lo'llie government, remains to be
proved. The sentence ot expulsion against
them decreed by the Minister of Public In
struction remained to be confirmed by tbe
Superior Council of Public Instruction. It
is evident that tbe Ernpomr was desirous of
avoiding extreme measures, showing that this
was an element of danger. The risks nttcD-
daut on a Regency, in case of bis death, the
many factious ready to take advantage of a
vacant throue—the turbulence of these fac
tions and the many aspirants to a dominion
that invites competition—render the chances
equal for another revolution lu France ou the
demise of ihe Emperor.

TRAGEDY AT JACKSONVILLE.
[Prom an occasional Correspondent.]
Jacksonville, Fla., Jin. 23, 1806.
About three o’clock P. M. on Monday, the
22d instant, a sad affair occurred on Bay
street, opposite the auction store of E. D.
Wells. Mcshack Birney, a former resident
of Duval, but latterly a citizens of Nassau
couuty, had some words with a negro by the
name of Tilghman Green. The negro made
some insulting reply, whereupon Birney drew
a knife and inflicted a mortal wound upon
Green, completely severing the jugular vein
upon the left side of the neck. The negro
staggered a few steps backward and fell.
Parties in the street pursued and arrested
Birney, while others went to the aid of the
negro. Two of the city surgeons were im
mediately sent for and did their utmost to
save the iife of the wounded mau, but it is
feared that he cannot survive. There are
various rumors as to the provocation given
by Green, aud in the mass ol conflicting
statements tis impossible to arrive at the
facts more fully than as above stated. Birney
is now confined in the guard house, and will
probably be tried before a Military Commis
sion. He is reported to be a quiet, inoffen
sive mau, yet addicted to the use of liquor,
under tbe effects of which he probably was
when he committed the deed, for which he
will have to be tried.
Economy is Consumption of Gas.—The
Charleston News, 9peaking of Dr. Garland’s
Improved Check Gas Burners says—“We
feel called upon to state that they are a most
valuable fixture, and that no person who is
in the habit of using gas, and who regards a
system of economy as one of the funda
mental rules of life, should he without this
admirable invention attached to their lights.
From as fair a test as could he made ir» our
office, we fee) convinced that we have saved
twenty five or thirty per cent, by attaching
these burners to our gas-fixtures, aud we do
not hesitate to recommend their adoption
wherever gas is used.”
Orders lor tbe above burners left at tbe
store of A. Myers & Co., Broughton street,
under St. Andrew’s Hall, will be nllendcd to.
