.in ~ <il)f Dailjj LARGEST CITY CIKCILATION. AUOX.JWTA. OA.B FRIDAY MORNING '“»• >*• W** ~ Congress and Reconstruction. The Constitution Amende™ nod Re construction Tinkers ut \\ ashiugton appear to be pelting rather tired of tlnir arduous mid patriotic labors in the good work of restoring the Union as (in their judgment) it ought to be, and the Constitution (as in their opinion) it should be. With this piping hot wamther, it must be a perspiration pro ducing work. To carry so many Amend' incuts in one's pocket, Congressional responsibility on one's shoulders, and Thad Stevens authority over one’s head, must, indeed, be a heavy job. We pity the poor fellows. They should be relieved—they should have some recre ation—they should be allowed to go home and recuperate. It would be beneficial to their constitutions, as well as to that of the country ; and the peo ple, North and South, would heave a sigh of relief at the dissolution of that august body. The last piece of legisla tion that they have enacted as we learn by the Associated Press telegrams, is the passage of some sort of Constitu tional Amendment, which is to be sub mitted to the Legislatures of the several States. “What constitutes a State?” we know well enough; but we do not know what the Stevenites consider a State, and, therefore, we do not believe that any of the late rebellions States (so called) will be classed among '“the several States.” If, however, it should be -o construed as to include all of the Sta es, the possibility is that it may not become a law; though we rather think it will be, even under that condilioi. This amendment, we believe, fixes the basts of representation on the number of legal voters in a State, and repmft ates the Confederate war debt for ever. Stevy did uot like the amendment. Its Fraitgipaitni <f Afnque is not strong enough for him. It does not give the negro the right to vote; but — hopeful man ! —he thinks that, some thing may yet he done in future legisla tion t“r those who come from— “ Where Afric’e sunny fountains Roll down the golden sand j” that they may yet be allowed this glori ous privilege of casting their “suffer ings" on any and every occasion. And not satisfied with this, the blatant old demagogue must abuse the gentleman at the other end of the Avenue—stigma tizing him as “a usurper," simply be cause he undertook to restore the Union as it was—the Union which the North fought to restore; but which Stevens and his followers wish to exist no more lo ever. This abuse will not deter the President from doing his duty, nor the people of the Union from sustaining hnn. It will fall harmlessly at his teet, but to recoil like the noted "boomerang,” and with tenfold force upon the veno mous Congressman from Pennsylvania. The fall elections will come, and Stevens will go; and for him and his party the fall will, we hope, witness a most terri ble tall. It will then be seen whether Constitutional Liberty and Constitution al Justice have bid farewell for ever to the American Union, or whether the good sense of the American people will triumph over the wicked fanaticism of their polilical leaders. If the former should, unfortunately, be the case, if Black Republicanism should once again triumph, well may we pray to God to have mercy upon the South, for then, indeed, will her glory set in darkness, and her prosperity be quenched by the waters of fanaticism. Let us, however, be hopeful, and trusting in a kind and merciful Provi dence, our beloved section may yet e nerge from its troubles, and become once more the greatness of the Union, the pride of America. Rents in Gold. There may be oftentimes “distinctions without a difference,’’ but we are of the opinion that in the case of landlords there is not only difference from other classes, but a very wide distinction. Thus, for instance, merchants and deal ers make no discrimination in the prices of their goods, on account of the rise and fall in gold. They have the same price in greenbacks, whether gold is 120 or 140; while the landlord demands guld for his rent, or iL equivalent in greenbacks. In the first case, neither buyer nor seller know anything of the fluctuations of the money market, and it would be absurd for a merchant to,sell a dress to one lady to-day at one dollar per yard, and to-morrow the same kind of goods at seventy five cents; and the day after at one dollar and twenty-five cents, all in greenbacks, because gold had fluctuated in that ratio within the a.rme number of days. If he undertook such a practice, tha unfortunate man would beau object of public sympathy, for the abuse (justly deserved too) which ha would receive would be sufficient to cure him of his tolly in a very short time. But in the other case, the landlord, cute observer of times and things, keeps an eye upon the Broker's reports of the Money Market, and knows to a fraction the value of gold and silver, and bonds and coupons, and stocks, and first and second class mortgages, and greenbacks, atid bank bills, and all thewiivisions and subdivisions of money ; he sees no ab surdity in his doing so. Oh, no 1 it is all legitimate and proper in his case. It is only absurd in the case of the mer chant lrotn whom he buys his goods. The merchant must have a uniform price; hut the landlord, he can fluctu ate weekly, monthly, or quarterly, as his rents become due. Happy class 1 Con tinue as long as you can to grow rich upon the stern necessities of those who are at your mercy, for your days of pros perity must he short indeed. Persistence in your unwise policy must prevent the progress of our city, and with its decay must come your own downfall. Ponder well these things, before you persist in your unwise step ; and answer the ques tion if you can, Why insist cpox Gold Rents ? What good will it do ? What harm will it not cause ? —ln the United States District Court recently before Judge Giles, Philip Cash nieyer, under indictment tor treason, appeared and pleaded guiity to the said indictment, and pleaded the pardon of the President of the United States, which he exhibited to the court, and having complied with the conditions mentioned in said pardon, he wat or dered by the court to be discharged.
