Radical Legislation.
We must admit that we are exceed
ingly puttied in regard to Radical legis
lation. In a history of the late war tor
Southern Independence, published by
Messrs. Van Erne A Horton of the
New York Day Book, the question is
assumed and argued with considerable
show of reason, that the Radicals are
bnt the offspring of the monarchial or
strong! Government party which figured
so largely but unsuccessfully in the early
history of the United States. The au
thor traces the party from its organiza
tion, through all its changes and varia
tions, down to the present time, and shows
that the object is now, as it was then,
the overthrow of Republican institu
tions, and the establishment of a mon
archy or central despotism upon their
ruins. We can account for the idyos
incracies of Radical legislation upou no
other hypothesis. In all the bills of
general interest which have been intro
duced into Congress, or which have
passed that body, there is an apparent
determination to ignore the Constitution
and State Governments, and to concen
trate all the power of the Government
in the Parliament or Congress, or fail
ing in that to establish some central
power which shall be supreme nnd ar
bitrary in its functions. We say that
this is the inevitable tendency of all
their legislation ; and we wonder that
the people of the North are so blind
that they cannot see it. We wonder
particularly that capital does not see it,
and interpose its influence to check the
torrent of political destruction.
A wise and patriotic course would be
to re-adrait the Southern States to all
their rights under the Constitution, with
the guarantees which, they have already
given for the abolition of slavery, and
the protection of the negro in all his
legal and personal rights ; grant a gen
eral amnesty to all “Rebels," so called,
and release Mr. Davis from Fortress
Monroe. Such a course would strengthen
the Radical party immeasurably. Nay,
it would give strength and perpetuity to
the American Union. It would reestab
lish peace on a firm and lasting basis,
and create a prosperity unexampled in
the history of the country. It would
place the people of the South under oh*
ligntions to the ftadical party, as it
were. Aud, in a word, it would do
more to settle all our national difficul
ties, reconstruct the Union, aud bind
the sections together, than all the
Constitutional Amendments, Military
Bills, and Louisiana Bills combined.
"We commend tile policy to them lor
their serious consideration.
The New York Times.
Much has been said about the Radi
calism of the New York Times, and
the fickleness of its principal editor,
Mr. Henry J. Raymond. Well, the
Times is a Radical paper, and Mr.
Raymond may chance his base, politi
cally, once in a while, but he has never
been as vindictive toward our people
as the most of his party are. He has
alwavs a kind and considerate word for
the South, and a denunciation of the
harsh measures of the Thad Stevens
party. He has, too, one of the best
and most conservative correspondents
in the South—“Quondam” —who writes
from this City ; and altogether is a
better fiiend to us than some people are
willing to admit. In a recent issue of
his paper he gets off the following very
clever piece of sarcasm on Northern
charity, which is too good to be lost.
At the same time, it tells some very
wholesome truths on the Radical Rad
icals :
Relief foe m South. —The Tri
bune says:
“ We are sorry to learn that the be
nevolent and patriotic efforts of the
Southern Relief Association to alleviate
the distress prevailing in several of the
Southern States, are not receiving the
encouragement which they deseave.
The cry for help comes up day by day,
but the Northern people are chary of
their contributions, and the demands
upon the Committee far exceed the
mefcns at their disposal.”
The “ Northern people” are too busy
with other Southern interests just now
to give much attention to such common
place matters as as starvation and dis
tress. We want the Southern people
well under martial law; we want to
make sure that all their negroes have
the right to vote, and then we will en
quire whether they are starving or not.
Probably two bundled thousand will
perish this year—blacks and whites in
discriminately—mainly in Northern
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and in
the back districts of South Carolina:
but there will be a good many left, .ana
it is very important that those who are
left should be under martial law. It
will not do to let starving men have the
benefit of the writ ol habeas corpus.
Besides, while they tire starving, they
can be managed more easily. If we
teed them we should make them more
insolent, uud tiny might think it un
reasonable In us to stick bayonets iuto
them afterward in order to make them
sincerely sorry for their rebellion. The
best way is, now we have got them
down, to keep them down. Starving
will help bring them to a realizing
sense of their condition and character.
There's nothing injures a man’s morale
like feeding lum when be is hungry.
That's j ust the time you can do with
him as you please.
Negro Suffrage.
Aa the article to be added to Con
stitutions of Btetae, by the new plan of
reconstruction, couoooted by the friends
of the South, ieestoperetive a condition,
although it appears in the preamble only,
as the adoption of the amendment to the
Federal Constitution, and without iU in
corporation into the State Constitutions,
the whole plan will become abortive, it
is well to consider what effect thie ar
ticle will have upon the voting fran
chise. By the way, however,. It should
be remarked that the great objection to
the rejected amendment applies with
equal force to this—to wit, that uo
where, either in the preamble or
the body of the article, ie found any
promise that upon its adoption the
rebellious States shall be restored to
full relations in the Union, and no
further conditions shall be required.
The Constitutions of the States are
to be emended by the adoption ot the
following
Article—Every male citisen who
has resided in this State for one year,
and ia the county in which he offere to
vote six months immediately preceding
the day of electien, and can read the
Constitution of the United States in the
English language, and write hie name,
or who may be owner of $250 taxable
property, shall be eutitled to vote at any
election, for Governor of the State,
members of the Legislature, and all
other officers elected by the people;
provided that no person by reason of
this artioleßhall be exoluded from voting
who has heretofore received the elective
franchise under the Constitution and
laws of the State, or who at the time
of the adoption of this ameudmeDt'may
be eutitled to vote under said Consti
tution aud laws.
In brief, this article disfranchises all
white men who may arrive at the age
us twebty-one years, hereafter, who may
not be able to read or write, or own
$250 worth of property, and gives the
right to vote to every negro who may
show that he is possessed of those qual
ifications. It is said that the new plan
meets the approval of President John
son ; we are disposed to doubt it, until
we have more authoritative confirmation
of the report. Its effect is to establish
a white and black aristocracy of educa
tion and property, and we cannot per
ceive how he, the most Democratic of
Democrats can consistently sanction it,
how he, the poor tailor’s boy, arrived by
his merit, talent or good fortune to the
highest station in the world, and still
boasting publicly of his plebeian origin,
bow be, taught to read by his wife
(as it i3 said) after he bad arrived at
mature years, can consistently proscribe
and disfranchise the very classes from
which he sprung. We are inclined to
think the President had nothing to do
with the concoction of the new plan.
But we started to explain the effect of
the Amendment upon the elective fran
chise, aud we intend to attempt to show
that except for an obstacle of very
doubtful effect, free negroes have had a
right to vote in Georgia from the foun
dation of the State Government np to
1861, and there was as little doubt that
they might Constitutionally have held
any office to which they might have been
elected by the people. have
exercised all the privileges of white
citizens, except serving on juries. This
seems a startling assertion, but is never
theless true, and therefore as we and
our fathers lived very well aud happily,
for eighty years under Constitutions
which sanctioned negro suffrage, there
is nothing so very terrible and monstrous
in it after all, and the fact weakens any
objection which may be made to the new
plan of reconstruction, iu this respect,
however objectionable it may be in
others.
We have had three different State
Constitutions in Georgia since the
origin ot the State ; one adopted in
1777, which was superceded by that of
1798, which last was itself set aside by
that of 1861. We have not the first—
that of 1777—at hand ; bnt we are
assured by one of the best constitutional
lawyers and political historians in
tlie State, and it is our own recollection,
that it confined the elective franchise
and the qualifications for office to citi
zens and inhabitants of the State, with
a property qualification, but no dis
tinction was made as to race or color,
A rather singular provision imposed a
fine of five pounds upon every voter
who refused or neglected to vote at any
election.
By the Constitution of 1798, which
continued in force until 1861, the only
qualifications of voters were, that they
should be citizens, and inhabitants of
the State, twenty one years of age,
paid all taxes required of them, and
resided six months in the county where
they offered to vote. Nothing is said
about race, color, or sex.
By the same Constitution, the Gov
ernor was to be a citizen of the United
States twelve years, an inhabitant of
the State six years, with a property
qualification. State Senators were to
be twenty five years of age, nine years
citizens of the United States, three
years inhabitants of the State, and one
year of the county ; aud Representa
tives were to be twenty one years of
age, citizens of the United Slates seven
years, three years inhabitants of the
State, and one year of the county. So
far as the Constitution was concerned,
they could have been of any race or
complexion, provided they were citi
zens and inhabitants.
Now, the whole question, were ne
groes entitled to vote under these Con
stitutions 7 hinges upon the question,
were they citizens 7 Wbnt constitutes
citizenship remains to this day rather
undetermined. If wo take the defini
tion of Webster, and a citizen is one
who has the elective franchise, we no
where fiud that the franchise was con
ferred on the blacks, but, on the other
hand, wo‘ nowhere find it exclusively
conferred on the whites. If we adopt
the definition of Judge Story, “Persons
who are boru iu a country are gcuc-
tC\j deemed citiaena and subject* of
that country,” we may oonaider that
•Ten a larger proportion of negro popu
lation wera citizens than of the white.
Borne contend that the right to vote i*
inherent to natural (objects—born citi
zens. Aa there are but three classes of
subjects, there were negro citizen* even
before the day of the Civil Rights Bill.
They ware certainly not aliens (except
those born in Africa or other foreign
countries), they were not denizens, and
if not not natnral born citizens, what
were they? They were certainly not
brute animals, notwithstanding the
speculations of some philosophers, for
they are supposed to have soals, and
there is a vagne and misty idea extant
that some of them go to Heaven.
Such then was ‘ the position the black
race occupied up to 1861. We aay
nothing about the famous decision of
the Supreme Court, for aside from its
Being doubtful law, it did not effect the
rights of the blacks until long after
those rights had accrued under oar
Constitutions. That they did not pre
sent themselves at the polls in all that
lime, and offer to vote, ia no argument
against tbeir possession of the right.
White women did not attempt to vote or
aspire to office, yet their tight to do so
is more unquestionable than that
of the negro, for they were indubitably
citizens, and if they had claimed the
franchise, it could not have been with
held from them.
But the Constitution of 1861, for the
first time in the history of the State,
restricted the right of voting to “free
white male citizens." Doubtless the
framers of that Constitution foresaw
that the time might come in the chances
of war, when the negro might claim his
right so long in abeyance, and they
prudently provided against the contin
gency, With a want of gallantry not
very consistent with Southern chivalry,
they also disfranchised the ladies,
though this might have been a pruden
tial consideration in anticipation of an
irruption of strong minded females from
the North. Whatever the motive might
have been, the insertion of those three
little words “free, white, male," worked
a total change iu the franchise, limiting
it, and qualifying it more than it had
ever been in Georgia. The validity and
binding force of that Constitution may
come in question some day, and it may
prove that the Constitution of 1798 is
still in force and that negro suffrage
(especially now that they are made citi
zens of the United States), is now legal
and permissible.
We have made this short examination
of our State Constitutions for the pur
pose of showing that the dread of negro
suffrage is mostly imaginary, and that,
either through inadvertence or design in
the framers of our first Constitutions, it
remained a question whether free ne
groes could not have exercised the right
of suffrage any time this eighty years.
Perhaps they did not attempt to exercise
it because they were ignorent they pos
sessed it, but in other Southern States
they voted until a very late period, and
wet never heard that any great harm re
sulted. We might have avoided the
humiliation of having the qualifications
of our voters dictated to us, hut poli
ticians and legislators decreed other
wise—now let us console ourselves with
the reflection that negro suffrage, if we
must uufortumitely submit to it, is not
such a terrible thing, for we have lived
under a Constitution and laws which
did not prohibit it, nearly all our days.

HANLON BROTHERS
WILLIAM, GEORGE, AND ALFRED,
And tbeir celebrated EUROPEAN COM
BINATION, who will appear TO-NIGHT

ANNOUNCEMENT I
THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 21, 1866.
THE PUBLIC ARK RESPECTFULLY
informed that Mr. WM. HANLON,
assisted by his two brothers, GEORGE
.and ALFRED HANLON, will appear in
his marvellous act ot
“ ZAPILU£ HOSTATIOIN !”
the most daring parformance that hrs ever
been presented upon any stage, or before
any audience in the world !
Eor this performance, three trapezes or
swings have been built., and secured down
tbo centre of tho auditorium, wich tho
elevated platforms or starting places at
each termination of tho trapezes. The
enormous space of the auditorium is tra
versed in the incredibly daring feat of Mr.
WILLIAM HANLON. Leaping from the
bar of one trapeze to the other, nntil he
arrives at the final platform, some idea of
the superb courage and agility displayed
in this feat may be formed. The great
novelty aud wonder consists in the fearful
speed and consummate grace with which
the daring gymnast dashes through the
air, as well as the unwavering judgment
and unerring accuracy necessary to insure
bis catching at.a certain angle, the oscil
lating bar which is thrown upwards to
meet his grasp when he makes his forward
leap. He next takes the trapeze in bis
hands and springs forward, aud on makiug
the leaps to the second and third trapezes,
h« actually revolves in the air, turning
himself entirely round before ho reaches
them. After this, to cap the terror of the
whole performance, he repeats the leap
from oue trapeze to tho other, making a
somersault iu the air in the interval from
leaping the one bar until he -reaches the
next. No one can fully realize the per
formance without seeing it, when it will be
eaudidly admitted to be completely beyond
rivalry, both in the boidness of its concep
tion, and the uncxempled daring of its
execution, making a legitimate claim to
the appellation o£ tho most marvellous feat
ever presented to the public. •
