THE OUESTION OF REPRESENTATION
SETTLED.
The passage of the concurrent resolution,
■which we announced a few days ago,exclud
ing the southern States from representation
in either House until Congress shall have de
clared them entitled to representation, can
not but be regarded as a triumph by the rad
icals over the restoration policy of the Pres
ident. The vote by which the resolution
passed is the same as was the vote upon the
President’s veto. This unauthorized as
sumption of power settles the question lor
the present, at least, and amounts to a form
al declaration that the people of the south
are still to be regarded as aliens and enemies
to the government of the United StateB.—
The painful evidence is thus presented that
fanatical partizansbip has culminated in suc
cessful opposition to the conservative senti
ments of the President and his patriotic sup
porters, in the face of the notorious truth
and with the knowledge that the war had
ended for nearly a year and that peace and
order for the same period have prevailed
throughout the length and breadth of the
excluded States. For nine months past taxes
have been due and payable in every south
era State, the ports therein have been open
ed to the commerce of the world under the
same tariff of customs, and no higher tar
iff has been exacted upon importa
tions in the ports of Savannah or Charleston
than in Boston or New York ; the right for
one citizen to pass from one State to another,
without let or hindrance, and to traffic with
out toll or import wherever he pleased, has
existed; the postal service and the right to
send letters to all parts of the Union have
been accorded without restriction.
The judicial authority has received the
submission of willing obedience, and yet the
Radicals say the Union is not restored, and
proceed to act upon this assumption despite
the earnest expostulations of the President
and the more conservative of their own par
ty against the evils with which the cointry
is threatened, by the schemes of a juntt) sit
ting and plotting in secret, to which a party
majority in Congress has assigned away its
owu functions of independent thought aud
action, aud whose behests it carries into ef
fect by force of relentless and uureasonbg
party drill.
It seems, however, that in accordance will
the tenor of the resolution just passed, atd
by permission of the Reconstruction Com
mittee, Tennessee is to he accorded the privil
ege ot representation in the National Legis
lature. Resolutions to this effect have been, vc
reponeu u™ m o-™—u.,— Bine- \w,
ham; but the conditions tberefn provided
are as insulting as they *•'- anti-repulnican
and unconstrttU' 1 ^'-*■ **• requires, in the
first “ c ’ at State shall maintain
■T *l e8 f, nt constitution; and secondly, that
she shall not app«ni *i. T "
iuat r. »isc * raws which now disgrace her
statute hooks. It will be seen from this that
the committee relinquish no part of their dic
tatorial power in this slight departure from
their contemplated programme. The very
act of Congress by which this State is to be
restored to the Union will compel the pre
sumption that it had ceased to exist. The
constitution, which the resolution requires
shall be maintained, expressly provides that
the present Legislature of Tennessee shall
arrange the whole franchise question, which
legislation shall then be equivalent to an
amendment of the constitution. The Legis
lature have or will pass an act disfranchisin
all who sympathized with the South in the
late conflict, and the object of the condition
in the resolution admitting the State is to per
petuate the law and the consequent degrada
tion of a large majority of its inhabitants.
If Tennessee resumes her position in the
federal household in accordance with this
theory, it will seem to establish the doctirnc
more firmly that the southern States are out
of the Union and dependent upon congres
sional action for their readmission. This
scheme of reconstruction is so manifestly
opposed to the well digested plan of the
President, that in the event of its passage he
will not hesitate to strike it dead with his
veto.
bodies the Wretched pretension of a white
man's government; that it assumes, what is
false in constitutional law, that color can
be qualification for an elector; that it posi
tively ties the hands of Congress in fixing the
meaning of a Republican government, so
that under the guaranty clause it will be con
strained to recognize an oligarchy, aristo
cracy, caste and monopoly, together with the
tyrauny.of taxation witbont representation, as
not inconsistent with such a government;
that it positively ties the hands of Congress
in completing and consummating the aboli
tion of slavery in pursuance of the second
clause ot the Constitutional amendment, so
that it cannot for this purpose interfere with
the denial of the elective franchise on ac
count of color; that it installs recent rebels
in permanent power over loyal citizens; that
it shows forth in unmistakable character as
a compromise of haman rights, the most im
moral, indecent and utterly shameful of any
in the history of the country.
The reader will perceive that this formid
able array of charges and specifications is
made not so much against the obnoxious
amendment as against the still more obnox
ious people of the southern States, and that it
serves to show the true animus of that most
radical wing ot a radical party under the
guidance of its bold and indomitable leader,
Mr. Sumner.

Arrival of the First Passenger Train
over the Gulf Road.—The first passenger
train over the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad
since the rebuilding of the road arrived yes
lerday evening. The train, which consisted
of two passenger and several freight cars,
left Thomasville on Monday night at about
twelve o'clock, reaching the station in this
city at about four o’clock yesterday. The
number of passengers was large, probably
over one hundred. The engine and cars
were decorated with flowers and the trip was
made a sort of jubilee occasion by the partic
ipants.
The return train through to Thomasville
leaves this morning, and another one on Fri
day, the schedule at present providing for a
train only every other day. Daily trains
will commence running at an early day,
probably next week.
Defeat of the Constitutional Amendment
In Regard to Representation.
The matter of chief importance and significance in
Congressional proceedings on the 9th, was the Senate’s
action on the proposed amendment to the Constitution
excluding negroes from the basis of Congressional
representation io aU States where they are not permit
ted to vote, which was some time ago reported by the
Reconstruction Committee and adopted in the House
But little of consequeuce besides this matter received
the Senate’s attention. Mr. Fessenden spoke at length
in its support, and Messrs. Sumner, Wilson, Hen
dricks, Yates, Cowan and others also spoke on it. The
Senate then proceeded to vote on substitutes offered
for the original amendment, including those of Messrs.
Sumner, Henderson and Yates, all three of which, in
different forms, provided for giving the negroes the
elective franchise. All the substitutes were rejected,
and then the question on the proposed amendment
itself came up, and, failing to receive the required two-
thirds in its favor, it was defeated. The vote was
twenty-five in the affirmative to twenty-two in the neg
ative. The nays present a queer mixture of Democrats
aud Radicals. Another amendment in place of the <te-
. l'eated one, basing representation on the number of
Resolutions to this effect hfive been j voters, was offered by Mr. Doolittle. Its consideration
was postponed till-Thursday next, and the Senate ad
journed tail Monday—new rork Herald, 1 Oth.

Proceedings of Congress,
Washington, March 12.—In the Senate to-day Mr.
Sherman presented the petition of a citizen of Colum-

his house. Mr. Sherman read a letter from General
Sherman alleging that Colombia was not fired by Fed
eral authority, but by order of Gen. Wade Hampton.
Gen. Sherman states that the town was on fire when
he entered it. The petitioner was referred to the
Committee on Claims.
The bill to admit Colorado as a State in the Union
was discussed. Mr. Sumner opposed the bill because
of there being no provision in the Constitution to al
low negro suffrage.

ANOTHER SPEECH FROM MR. SUM
NER.
The loquacity of the distinguished Senator
from Massachusetts is truly wonderful. It is
as much a leading characteristic of his con
gressional career as was the same expensive
peculiarity in that of John Quincy Adams or
Henry A. Wise. It was only a lew weeks
ago that Mr. Sumner, in one of his talking
moods, consumed two whole days in deliver
ing an elaborate speech before the Senate
against the constitutional amendment which
provides that no part of a State’s population
which that State disfranchises shall be counted
as a basis of federal power. It filled, we
believe, about twenty columns of tbe Con
gressional Globe. At the conclusion of that
almost interminable address the Senator re
marked that, although he had spoken much
to the subject under consideration, it was
not exhausted; and that he should avail
himself of the first opportunity to resume its
discussion. True to bis promise Mr. Sumner,
on the 7th inst., took up the thread of bis
argument where he had dropped it on the
previous occasion. In his opposition to this
amendment be has been co-operating with
Democratic and conservative Republican
Senators to accomplish its defeat, not
withstanding it is the favorite bantling
of Mr. Stevens and a majority of his
own party. He justifies his anomalous course
by alleging in bis last speech, that the adop
tion of the amendment which be opposes
would result in tbe infliction cf a shameful
wrong upon the negro. His arguments mav
be briefly stated thus: That the proposed
amendment carries into the Constitution it-
nelf the idea of inequality of rights; that it
is an express sanction of the acknowledged
tyranny of taxation without representation;
that it is a concession of State rights at a mo
ment when the country^ recovering from a
terrible war waged against it i n the name of
State rights ; that it is the Constitutional re
cognition of an oligarchy, aristocracy, caste
aud monopoly founded on color; that’it ern-
