the situation.
As no well informed person can now
doubt that the majority in Congress is
sustained by a large majority of the
people of the State* there represented,
we can only form a correct judgment of
the feeling and disposition of that ma
jority by keeping billy pasted as to the
speeches made by their leaders and the
editorials in their journals.
The time is near at hand when our
people must decide their course politic*
ally and socially, and we deem it our
duty, as an independent organ of the
people, to publish the speeches and edi
torials reflecting the views and intentions
of the majority, as we find them in
the Northern journals, and thus enable
all to form a correct judgment upon the
situation. The following is from the
Herald of Feb. 26 •
Historians have been sorely puzzled
to determine the fate of the ten lost
tribes of Israel, and our political philos
ophers are as much perplexed in there
efforts to forecast the destiny of our ten
outside rebel States. The general drift
of passin? events therein, the prevailing
tone and temper of their leading organs,
political managers and ruling classes,
the evidence of Geuerals Grant, Thomas,
Sheridan, Howard, Schofield and other
intelligent Union soldiers, all declare
that the spirit of the rebellion still lives
and that the dream and the purpose of
Southern independence are still pre
dominant from Bull llun to ihe liio
Grande. The defeated associate con
spirators of Jeff. Davis still recoil with
horror from the idea of subordination to
‘'the Yankees,” and with unmingled
disgust from the idea of negro suffrage.
Every one of the ten legislatures set up
by President Johnson in those rebel
States has rejected the easy terms of
the pending Constitutional Amendment
with scorn, contempt, and something of
defiance. What, than, is the prospect
of their submission to, and co-operation
with the Government upon this new
bill, this ultimatum of Congress ?
Very much,in theanswer to this ques
tion, will depend upon the course of
President Johnson. It is clear that the
ruling white class of the South expect
ed, until our Northern elections of last
fall, a restoration to Congress under Mr.
Johnson's policy, placing the rebel
States substantially as they were before
the war, and with the door open through
the Supreme Court for the re-establish
meiit of negro slavery. We know, too,
that after those elections the confidence
re-affirmed by Mr. Johnson in the final
success of his policy still encouraged
the deluded leading politicians of the
South lo hold their ground, and that
they still looked to the Supreme Court
for a deliverance. With this new bill,
however, hanging over the excluded
States, and with the sword of impeach
ment hanging over President Johnson
as by a single hair, Southern indiffer
ence, contempt and defiance in reference
to Congress, are giving way to convic
tions of helplessness against the will of
Congress Southern leaders on the old
track of Calhoun are beginning to see
that the incoming will be quite as radi
cal as the outgoing Congress ; that they
must accept the terms proposed by Con
gress or that they will have no voice in
the next Presidential election, and that
if excluded from that election they may
be held indefinitely in their pieseut help
less and ruinous position.
This new bill of reconstruction con
tinues- the State establishment set up
by Mr. Johnson as provisional govern
ments subject to the will of Congress,
and leaves it to the people ol each State
concerned whether they shall proceed at
once to reorganize on the terms laid
down or wait a little longer under the
supervision of martial law. We pre
sume that the present Southern Gov
ernors and their Legislatures, under this
discretionary power, will prefer to hold
on yet awhile until they can make their
soundings and make their arrangements
concerning the negro vote, so that we
may hear of no Southern movement
under this bill for the election of a reor
ganizing State convention until after the
crops of the coming summer shall have
been secured. Meantime, from the re
establishment of martial law and the
submission of the Southern people, to
their '‘manifest dignity,” we may expect
Northern enterprise and capital to be
invited to the development of Southern
resources in the way of cotton, corn,
rice, sugar cud tobacco, and on such
terms as will give a great impulse to
Southern industry and profitable har
vests to all concerned.
M itb the last vestiges of slavery and
the old slavery epoch cleared away, the
revolution inaugurated with the seces
sion of South Carolina, seven years ago,
will be complete—the last remaining bar
riers against Northern emigrants, North
ern enterprise, skill and capital will be
removed, and the great Northern tide
of emigrants will he dverted from the
West to the more inviting soil and cli
mate ot the South. This bill will open
the gates, and the gates opened the tide
will roll in upon the South and down to
the Gulf ol Mexico, fur more reviving
and fertilizing than the annual swel
lmgsof the Nile.
TAXES.
Money being so very scarce with us,
the i axes collected seem to our people
to be excessive, and many perspns
imagine that the Southern people are
paying nearly, if not all, the revenues
needed to support the Government.
'J'he following extract from the Con
gressional proceedings of the 25th ult.,
gives us some very interesting statistics,
showing, among other interesting facts,
that Georgia, even in her present im
poverished condition, paid $4,28-1,918
during last year, to the general Govern
ment—an amount nearly, it not quite
as large as her whole Slate debt:
Mr. Morrill reviewed the various
amendment* reported from the Com
mittee of the Whole ou the state of the
Union. In the court* of hi* remarks,
he opposed the abolition of the cotton
tax. He said it was not an oppressive
ax, and he had no doubt that the
Southern Btstfs would themselves be in
favor of its eontimiauc*.
Mr. Rollins, on the subject, sub
mitted a table showing the amount of
tax collected in the Rebel States for
1866, from which it appeared that the
tax collected ftom cotton was over
fifteen millions, and that from all other
sources was only four and a half mil
lions, a sum which was twelve thousand
dollars less than was paid by the small
State of Rhode Island. This amount
distributed through the ten States
would hardly pay the expenses of col
lection, and it would be as well to
exempt those States from the operation
of the Internal Keveuue law. The

Democracy on the Situation.
We find the following in the New
York Times of the 27th, well known as
a concervative Republican journal:
The leading Democratic journals arc
waking as from a dream. They have
cherished the supposition that by carry
ing out the policy of “passive resist
ance” the South might circumvent the
plans of and be restored to
power free from troublesome conditions.
Under this impression they recom
mended the rejection of the Constitu
tional Amendment and a contemptuous
indifference to the propositions of the
moderate Republicans, By “masterly
inactivity,” it was said, the Republican
Party might be baffled, and with the
unconditional return of the Southern
States to the Union, the triumph of the
Democratic Party would be assured.
This has been the theory on which our
Democratic brethren have operated
during the last seven months ; this the
key note of their policy in conventions
and in the press.
The passage of the Reconstruction
Bill, and the certainty that it will be
come law notwithstanding the Presi
dent's opposition, are circumstances
which have suddenly dispelled these and
other delusions, and brought the Demo
cracy face to face with the realities of
the situation. For the first time they
now perceive that Congress has both the
determination and the power to fix and
enforce the terms on which the excluded
States shall be restored. They discover
that instead of gaining by “ passive
resistance” the South has lost immense
ly ; and they rightly conclude that fur
ther resistance, though it be passive,
will only serve to provoke Congress to
the adoption of yet harsher measures.
To all but the Democracy these acknowl
edgements of the fact appear stale and
unprofitable. They are merely the
fulfillment of intimations which the
Times and other Union journals pub
lished months ago. But in the quarters
in which they now appear they are new;
and as the deliberate verdict of the De
mocracy on the situation, they are sug
gestive, if not important.
How, then, do our Democratic eotem
poraries suggest that the Reconstruction
Bill shall be treated 7 The threats
uttered amid the cheers of delegates in
Connecticut and New Hampshire, and
the insolent tone of the puny Press,
might bo supposed to foreshadow an
other revolution. Os that, however,
there is no danger. Ti e hosts of armed
men whom a certain New York politi
tician promised to lead to Washington,
have received notice that they may stay
at home. Mr. Kevcrdy Johnsou’s wise
words in the Senate have operated like
"oil on the waters.” There is neither
resistance nor the mention of it. On
the contrary, the World, and the Chi
cago limes, the Buffalo Courier and
other prints of that ilk, tell the South
explicitly that a chance of deliverance
no longer exists, and that failure to
comply with the terms of the Recon
struction Bill will mako things worse
instead of better.
And since “redress bv arms” is not
possible, the World delicately suggests
to the South the propriety ami prudence
of accepting the situation as inevitable,
and making the best terms it can with
inexorable fate. We quote from the
World of yesterday:
“ We suppose it will be found, when the
South can abato its just indignation suffi
ciently lor a careful survey, that it posses
sess no machinery or resources, either
political or military, lor fending off this
atrocious oppression. If no such machinery
or resources .hall be discoverable, tbe prac
tical question will then be, whether the
South shall accept the situation under pro
test, or disdainfully submit to it. Wero it
not for the negro element of tho problem,
tho latter would undoubtedly be tbe true
course, as alike consistent with safety and
self respect. But the negro element com
plicates the question, and renders tbe solu
tion more difficult. It is possible that tho
Republicans may, through Government
patronage and appeals to ambition, bribe
und demoralize Southern whites enough to
make, with tbe negroes, a majority ot tbe
inhabitants. If they can succeed in this,
they will reorganize and admit the States,
and the South will thereafter be under
negro rule, and will become intolerable as
the residence of white men. Admitting (at
least by hypothesis) that this danger is not
fanciful, tho question urises (and a very
grave one it is) whothcr it is not better to
• fight tho devil with fire,’ by accepting tho
negro suffrage, which is inevitable, and con
trolling tho negro vote, instead of allowing
it to be alienated by tbe Republicans, as it
would pretty certainly bo by resistance."
The Chicago Times speaks with a
better reputation for sagacity. Imme
diately alter the elections of last Au
tumn it advised the Democratic Party
and the South to accept the principle
of impartial suffrage ; and there can be
no doubt that had the proposition been
adopted, Northern opinion would have
been largely conciliated. Congress
might not have been coaxed lrom ils
position as the sole master of the busi
ness of reconstruction, hut its temper
would probably have been considerably
softened, Our Chicago namesake is
entitled to point to its prophecies and
the result, when it recoin mends u prompt
compliance with the plan which is on
the eve of becoming law. The terms,
it reasons, “are harsh, hut not huuiili
-11 ting,” because the isoutl) is entirely at
the mercy of the majority in Congress,
"and they have Utah the ability and
disposition to enforce much harsher
ones.” To resist is to invite deeper
ruin ; while “her acceptance may turn
the tide of public opiuiou now running
against her, and place her once more
on the course to peace and prosperity.”
With still greater frankness, the
Buffalo Courier declares "that there is
positively no ulfcruative except to ac
cept the political situation and make
the best of it."
If the South be not given over to ju'
dicial blindness, it wiU not disregard
these denthbed repentances of the
Northern Democracy. In a party sense
they are futile. They will neither ob
literate a remembrance of the parly’s
course in inveigling the South to
resistance, nor alone for the shameless
alliance of the Democrats in the House
of Representatives with Mr. Stevens and
his adherents. The utterances we have*
cited are significant, iietherthelestf.
They are a confession that iho sole
remaining hope of the Democratic Party
has been extinguished. And they are
an unlooked for recognition ot the
power uud purpose of Cougress, aud of
the endorsement of both by the opinion
of the North. Mr. Revcrdy Johnson
discerned the truth ; the lauding Demo
cratic organs accept it, and the Presi
dent can have no ratioual expectation
of deriving advautage from. indifference
to its lessons.
If, as is shown by these extracts, the
Democratic party North are giving up
their resistance and counselling the
South to accept and act under the bill
now in the hands of the President, it is
certainly time that the minds of our
best men should turn to the great sub
ject of our present political situation,
and find the proper course to be pur
sued by our people.
When such leaders at the • North as
Ueverdy Johnson advise us to accept
the disagreeable conditions now offered,
we should treat the advise, at least, with
respect.

More About Jmpsachmkxt.—The
Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun of yesterday, writes :
The Judiciary committee, which has
charge of the subject of the impeach
ment of the President, have not yet
indicated when they will be prepared to
report, and are still engaged in taking
testimony. The prime movers in the
impeachment proposition do not, how
ever, abate one whit their determination
to find some cause to justify them in
bringing Mr. Johnson to trial. They
hope to find some excuse in the expec
ted veto of the military government bill,
and will make the general charge that
the Executive has withheld his assent
to laws the most wholesome and neces
sary.
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, who was first to
move in the matter in the House, is in
almost continuous intercourse with Sen
ator Ilowe, of Michigan, who is the
“head centre” of the impeachment ring
in the Senate, and these gentlemen os
cillate between each other's committee
rooms whenever the business of their
respective houses will admit of it. Gen.
Butler still manifests a disposition to
make impeachment a pet measure, and
ever since his return to Washington he
has devoted most of his attention to
Ashley, Boutwell, Loan, Kelly, and
others, who are the most prominent ad
vocates of the movement. The fact that
General Butler and other members have
rented residences would seem to indi
cate an extended session of the Fortieth
Congress, despite the fact that sixteen
States including ten Southern States,
will be unrepresented.
