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.

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. Tiik Sa(-rki) Huli..—This distinguish ed stranger will receive his friends this afternoon at Mike Lipmau’s circus. + > 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.
