We have no reason to retract or regret our cordial welcome to Mr. Stephens on his entrance into the Held of Southern journalism. We desire to see no important question of party policy decided without thor ough sifting and full debate ; and there is a manifest advantage iu hav ing in tile arena of discussion (he keen logic, ripe experience, and ro bust sincerity of a statesman like Mr. Stephens. He compels us to respect his views even when we are con strained to dissent from and combat them. Although Mr. Stephens' statements are usually crisp and clear, aud quite free from trimming vagueness, lie seems for once a little misty upon the dead-issue question. We are not cer tain that we fully understand him, and suspect that our views and his are not so widely at variance as they mqf seffn. We beg that on one or two points he will he a little more precise and explicit. In a long article signed witli his initials in The Atlanta Sun of July 3, headed “On What issues Shull wc go into the Fight?” Mr. Stephens maintains that some of the issues of our former politics are dead, and oth ers full of sap and vitality. Tims far, at least, we agree. So far as wc differ, it is in drawing the line be tween tile issues whicli have become obsolete and those which still remain as questions of practical polities. We only disagree as to the comparative length of tlie two catalogues. Our list of the issues which should be la belled “ dead” and laid away iu the hortu.i siccus of dried specimens is a little longer than his; hut this seems to he the whole difference. One of the points on which we wish Mr. Stephens would define his views with more precision is the principle on which the dividing line should be drawn. What are the symptoms of death ? By what rule of classifica tion must we determine which issues shall he inserted in the catalogue of dead and which in the list of live is sues ? If we can agree upon such a rule, the controversy is practically ended. Mr. Stephens declares it to he his opinion that the right of secession is a “dead issue.” Now let us examine the grounds on which he rests this opinion and see if the same rule of judgment would not include several issues which he insists are not obso lete. Mr. Stephens still believes that the secession doctrine is tenable in logic; that it is a fair deduction from the history of the Constitution and the structure of the Federal Govern ment; and yet, though believing it correct in principle, lie unhesitating ly consigns it to the limbo of lost tilings. The Constitution has not been changed on this point, by amendment or otherwise. It remains precisely as it stood in the winter of 1801. when Mr. Stephens felt coh- itruined by the paramount allegiance he owed to the State of Georgia to follow it out of the Union against his own judgment of expediency and his own eloquent protests. Why then does he so frankly class secession as a dead issue? Solely because the logic of events is practically more conclu sive than the unrefuted dialectics of Mr. Calhoun. We insert what Mr. Stephens says on that topic: The right of secession for all practical purposes was, as we understand, decided by the war; not that war can ever settle or decide auy principle or truth iu matters of government ot justice between men or States, any more than in matters of sci ence, art, or religion. War may decide and may determine permanently ques tions of policy, but never questions of right. A legitimate result of the late war, we believe, was, the eettlement—and set tlement forevcT—in this country of the policy of secession as a practical modo of redress against auy usurpations on the part of the Federal government. This legitimate result of the war has been accepted in good faith by all those States which recently resorted to this mode of redress for what thoy regarded breaches of the ^common compact and threatened usurpations by their confed erates. Hereafter, the mode of redress for all abuses of power by the Federal government which they seek will be to make common cause with all the friends of tho Constitution in all the States. We are glad to find from the ablest political pen in tin* Southern States this clear admission that policy and practicability are legitimate grounds So of the old question of negro slavery. The Southern seoeding States all—every one of them—abolished that institution by their own acta. This act on their parts respectively may or may not bo con sidered as a legitimate result of the war. Whether the one or tho other, however, it was done by these States themselves, and after the close of the war—after they had fully resumed all their obligations to the Union under the Constitution, and were fully recognized by the 1 Vd»rul Government as constituent members of tho Union, and entitled to an equal voioe upon all questions pertaining to its welfare, even those touching changes iu the organic law. It is by the acts of these States that tho XUHth Amendment of the Constitution is now a valid part o f which the Federal government may not at its pleasure set aside. On thin alone ire are willing to unite irith all friend* of liberty in all the Staten of the Hit ion, in the coming contest to pul out of /lower those itho hare the present control of the Federal gorernment, and who hare so wickedly abused their high trusts—whose / f ogress, if not arrested, wilt end inevitably in des/iotis/n. If the battle bo pitched upon this ground alone, with no soft words of usur pations of any sort, there will be no need of “levies.” Volunteers for their own ac cord, when the signal is given, will pour forth from every quarter with that enthu siasm^ for the cause which love of liberty ever inspires, and which in popular elec tions is ever the surest “earnest of victo ry.” A.

We Biihimt that Southern States ratified the amendment abolishing slavery “by their own actsbut no body knows better than Mr. Steubens that those acts were not voluntary. They were done at the bidding of Andrew Johnson, then the master of half a million of soldiers. Mr. Ste phens would need lint a small share of his acumen ami logic tp make out a strong case against the validity of those extorted ratifications; hut it would he an idle expenditure of argu mentative skill. The real reason why the abolition of slavery is final anil irreversible is that it is sanctioned by such a body of settled and strenu ous public opinion, that mi attempt lo re-establish slavery would kindle the whole country into a conflagra tion. ltislH-eaii.se of this slat From the Wit-bin. . he 14th and 15th instants, we make lie following extracts—.first from the testimony of Judge Wright, given before the Committee on the 13th inst.: Ka-Klnx Organization*. Mr. Pool, (a member of the Commit tee, and Radical Seuutor from North Car olina) demanded to know about Ku- Klux organizations; whether there were not such organizations in Georgia and other ports of the South. Judge Wright said that if the question was whether there were regular secret organizations, with secret signs and pass words, and orguuized under a head, or in accordance with any design to restrain auy class of citizens from exercising their privileges of citizenship, or with a pur pose of resisting tho authority of the Government, he answered no. He bad no knowledge of such organizations. But lie added that there were, iu some .. localities, local organizations for the pur ... . '*! pose of preserving the peace and repress- puhlic sentiment, that the stability oi jng lawlessness for tho general good, and emancipation is so immovably fixed. | be bad no doubt but that such organiza- aml that it would be so idle and in-, tions bail sometimes committed excesses, tile to contest the validity of timd perpetrated wrongs against imlivid- thirteonfh amendment. And if there ' . Th‘‘? wer ® organizations ef- =- a similar slate of public- feeling re- TT? I ut * om - it ? m Tot ' ,. , iiiq. nnil lie had known no instance m which, in his Hoction of country, thoy had specting negro civil rights nud m suffrage, it would, he equally futile and unprofitable to undertake a cru sade against the fourteenth and fif teenth amendments. If we accept their substance (as we believe Mr. Stephens does) what will it avail to quarrel with their form? Practical statesmanship disdains to waste effort on the husks of a question after ac cepting the kernel. As M r. (Stephens does not wish to deprive the negroes of their newly acquired franchises, he practically admits that negro suffrage and negro civil equalityare dead issues. In opposing the amendments he is therefore fighting with shadows. The contest of Don Quixote with the windmills had more of the character of a real battle. There could not he ;ited such a thing. He stated that the worst acts of violence he hail witnessed in this regard were the violent outrages committed by Itodical negroes upon persons of their own color who had attempted to vote with the Democrats. He had once Been the white citizens or ganized and armed to protect negroes who desired to vote their personnl senti ments, iu opposition to the wishes of the ltadicul organizations. ikIrc Mr. Pool then questioned Judge Wright as to his religious opinions, and was told that tho witness professed a very humble and simple faith; that be was, in fact, a feet-wnshing Baptist. This answer puzzled the North Caro film Senator not a little, for it was evi dent he had never heard of the feet a more fantastic political comedy than I washers. He asked the Judge if fect- to admit negro suffrage to he a dead issue and at the same time make the fifteenth amendment (which does nothing but ordain negro suffrage) a live issue. The comedian laughs with with one side of his face and weeps with the other, and it is not easy to tell whether he is really jocose or grieved. Be consistent, Mr. Stephens, and if you do not wish to spill the water make no futile attempts to break the pitcher. Mr. Stephens seems equally chi merical in insisting that the recon struction acts are a live issue. When wc descend from the a-rial region and cloud-land of vague declamation lo the solid ground of fact and precise ideas, we find that the reconstruction acts cannot he repealed, for the sim ple reason that they are no longer in bins wan a doctrine or an observance. The Judge replied that tho doctrine of feet-washing was derived from the “Last Hopper, ” ns described hv the Scriptures, anil that its followers believed thnt it was a Christian duty and privilege to perform the same office toward one another, in imitation of the humble example set His Disciples by the Saviour of mankind.— He added that ho had witnessed the ob servance of feet-wnshing administered to humble negroes by white brethren of the faith, and would cheerfully perform tho same ceremony himself if occasion de manded. Tho disciples of this faith were generally sincere believers in its efficacy. pie reason that lliey are no longer in force. IIow can an obsolete and do-1 finiet act of Congress lie a live issue? Mr. Stephens might with as much pertinence contend that the old Alien and Sedition laws and the Embargo law are live issues. By the very terms of the reconstruc tion acts they ceased to he operative in any State from the date of the admission of Senators and Represen tatives to Congress from tliut Stale Loyalty to the Government. Mr. Pool wanted to know if the Judge was loyal to tho Government. Said the Judge, “that depends on what you moan by the word loyal.” “But,” said Mr. Pool, “I waut a direct answer.” “Then,” said the Judge, “you cannot have it.” IIo then proceeded to say tliut tho Irish people wore loyal to tho British Clown in that tl lid not tho English don.: to the English rule. But the English Government did not hold out any in- ducomouts to that people to the loyal in their souls to it. If Mr. Pool meant that loyalty which has its seat in the soul of the citizen ; which is true to a principle because that principle is true, aud which adheres to the government because itbe- were uuable to resist his advances in this regard. “During the time he was in, he paid out $58,000 in rewards for the apprehen sion of fugitives. He paid out $08,000 for advertising bis proclamations, which were unheard obexpemlitures in this re gard.^ He expended betweeu $400,000 aud $500,000 for contingencies, aud nev er showed a voucher for the money so spent. He put Foster Blodgett iu charge of the Atlunta and Georgia titate Rail road, who knew as much about railroad ing as tho‘learned pig.’ Blodgett paid the State $25,000 the first month and $20,000 the second mouth; and after that never paid a cent or made a return. He ran the road down, wore out its stock, aud brought it in debt to the extent of $700,000, which the State of Georgia is now paying off. It is generally believed that Blodgett plundered the State to the extent of two or three millions. In the meimtimo a bill VM worked through the Legislature leasing the road to Senators Cameron, Scott and others, for twenty years, at $25,0(X) a month, or $300,000 a year. To show’ what a good thing this party have of it, it is only necessary to stato that before the war the road brought ill 1600,000 a year, and tbit at a time business was not a third of what uow. Thus the people have been I robbed by the local governments the Fed eral Government has given them to the present time.” •nl Intent* of tilt- People Tow a rrixNortli- ern Men—Dr. Angler. In giving tho terrible plunderings of the State by Bullock and his carpet-bag government, the Judgo was asked by Mr. Pool if lie did not think some of his opinions originated in his prejudices to wards Northern men. “Not at all/’ re plied the Judge; “I have no prejudices against Northern men. God does not uiuke good and bad men by parallels of latitude aud longitude. Look at Angior, our Treasurer; he is a Northern man—a Republican, but an honest man. There has stood at the door of the treasury, fightiug all the while, like a lion at bay, for the welfare of the people.” The Judge was asked if Angier had not joined the l)t moenits. “Not at all,” replied lie. “He supports General Grant, 1 suppose, and goes with the honest Re publicans. The people of Georgia owe him an eternal weight of gratitude. Hud he joined with Bullock and his public plunderoi s, no man could tell the extent of their robberies.” nglir’fl iiy—Tlie I*«ne of TeMtlrn Slate D Dr. Angier, Treasurer of the State of Georgia, was examined before the Com mittee on Southern Outrages, tho 14th in stant. Ho presented facts uud figures showing a damaging record against the Administration of Governor Bullock, of Georgia. Aside from any exhibition of partisan feeling, ho showed wherein Bul lock had violated the plain letter of the law in numerous instances. On the sub ject of the issue of tho new State Taonds mid the Governor’s effort to conceal the amount aud disposition mode of fhem, the testimony of this witness was most crushing, ami fully corroborative of oth er testimony un the same point, and showed conclusively that Bullock had both transcended nud disregarded the law of the State. He exhibited samples of the different clusscs of bonds the Governor had had engraved, and proof of the number and amount of each, showiug an amount almost incredibly in excess of the authority of the statute cre ating them. There was $200,000 to bo raised to pay tho salaries of tlie Legislature, and $350,000 to pay tho bonds of the State falling duo this year. The Legislature authorized the Gover nor to issue currency bonds to pay the $200,000, and gold interest bonds to pay tho $350,000. On account of flie $200,000 authority, Bullock issued $2,000,000, and had the State Treasurer’s name engraved on all tho coupons, without tho knowledge or consent of that officer. To pay the bonds falling due, ($350,- 000,) he issued $4,000,000 of bonds, bearing gold interest He has never re ported to the State Treasurer, or any State officer, how many of these bonds havo been sold.

JolIN-toN. sup*ni)L*n>la*t j tooth piuki by this clear admis sion Mr. Stephens ts estopped from again arraigning tlie progressive ma jority of the Democratic party for recognizing irreversible facts. In such cases charges of deserting prin ciple for expediency are as irrelevant as tiiey are discourteous. We do not accuse Mr. Stephens of bartering right for policy because lie lias yield ed the convictions of his judgment to the fortune of war; nor can it serve any good end for him to use sucli censorious language towards Democratic opponents who apply tlie same rule of judgment to other eases. Every argument employed by Mr "! Stephens and Ii is school against tin ii! progressive Democrats i* an valid argument for controversy on tie They arc as much body to tlie charge of renouncing principle for expediency. On the se cession issue Mr. Stephens reasons like a statesman; and if lie will apply the same rule of jading to other is sues, there will presently be no differ ence between us as to which issues are dead. You cannot expect a people to love a government that refuses their right* of citizenship.

He lias avowed no such intention ; but if tlie State govern ments are to stand, why raise unprac tical questions respecting their origin? A change in their respective constitu tions, if desirable, is not a question of Federal politics, hut of Stale politics, and Mr. Stephens would place him self in glaring contradiction to his own cherished principles by making the domestic government of the States a Federal issue.
