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.

Last Nig 111 but Two OF THE HANLON BROTHERS WILLIAM, GEORGE, AND ALFRED, And tbeir celebrated EUROPEAN COM BINATION, who will appear TO-NIGHT in an Attractive and Diversified wro gramme. 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. • Admission; Reserved Seats, $1.50.
