TTie leader otThe Republican p irty in Congress made a soeech at Bedford, Penn., oh the 4th inst.. reviewing the proceedings of last session, an-d ex : plaining, quite at length, his views of the p licy suited to the present crisis. His expositions’ better deserve atten tion than those of any other Republi can, inasmuch as he lias greater power Ito give his views effect. . Mr. Stevens has sufficient clearness j of logical perception to enable him to see ihat ti.e,exclusion of the Southern Stages froth Congress is indefensible, if it be admitted that the Constitution is in force now the same as it was previous to tLe rebellion lie there fore boldly contends that all .the con stitutional rights of the excluded States were ‘extinguished by the war. He contends that the. present jurisdiction of the Federal government over those j States is not deiived tUm the Consti tution but from conquest; and that they can possess no rights under the Constitution until alter such rights have been again conferred by Congress which is alone empowered to admit States into the Union. As Mr. Ste vens’sl whole argument hinges upon these positions, we deem it fit to in sert enough of his language to exhibit the importance he attaches to them. “The President and his squad (it .does not deserve the name of party) contend that the war made no changes in the condition of our institutions un der the Constitution. That the rights and liabilities of all our former citizens rebel asu well as loyalj feUiaiu unchang ed. This exhibits a most deplorable ignorance, or eulpable-treachery. No greats war between acknowledged bel ligerents ever left the condition and fiigliljs of the parties after the same as tjefotej iralqss if wort so stipulated hy the treaty of potfee. The War leaves them without compacts, without rights, except the rights of war. When it is ended, new treaties are to be made; or if one party submits the conqueror ■ prescribes the futufe'l'elative condition of the parties, without regard to their •relative condition before the war.— Tho- vanquished have no rights except vs hat the conqueror gratits. This is much more so, when one of the bcl- ligeients is composed of rebels! You are aware that a convention of traitors was lately held in Philadelphia.— Most of theta had actually borne arms against the United States, and helped murder half a million of our citizens. Asew r sympathizers at the North who ought to have been South met with t them. They extinguished the Dem ocratic party, and blotteu its name j from the vocabulary of parties. No Democratic party can lieniieforth exisd. They laid dtwn an elaborate party 1 creed or platform of principles for this conglomerate mass. Being tiaitors, they of course adopted the President’s views. Ilera is their fundamental article, to which all the others conform. Mr. Raymond’s address says: ‘.*T.l e Constitution of the Uuited ’ States is to-day precisely what it was j before the war, the supreme law of the land, anything in the constitution or laws of any State to the contrary not withstanding. And to-day also, as before the war, all powers not confer red by the Constitution of the general government, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the several States or the people thereof. ‘•The United States acquired no new power, no rights either territorial or as civil authority, which it did nob possess before the war broke out.” This strange, wild and wicked doc trine was unanimously adopted by the conclave What ! Six millions of re j beb who had renounced the Constitu | tion, who had murdered five hundred ! thmisami of our eitizens, who bad loaded the’ nation with debt and drenched’it with blood, when conquer | ed had forfeited no right; had lost no jurisdiction or civil authority; and these conquerors had acquired none, because there was a Constitution which, while they obeyed, protected them, but which they had discarded and teen to pieces by war! Was there ever before a human brain frenzied enough to engender such folly; or a human front brazen enough to utter it ? No principle in national law is clearer : than phat when belligerents inaugu rate a war which is acknowledged to t be a putdic war, all the former obliga tions, treaties and compacts between the parties become null and void, and Tkomasville, Georgia, Thursday, September 27, 1866: after the war are to be renewed or repudiated as the parties agree, or as the conqueror decrees. If either par ty i* utterly subdued, his life, liberty and property arc at the disposal of the victor.” ; 1 . ~ . ! Assuming that bis theories are of .course correct, Mr. Stevens proceeds to tell his hearers what Cjngress ought to have done, We invite the atteu* tic nos the Southern people to this extract. lie aajyr: “In my opinion Congress was dere lict in another particular. I have always held that whiie but few of the bellig erents should suffer the extreme pen alty of the law. yet that a sufficient fund should be levied out of their property to pay the expenses and dum ages of the war. Congress, iu July, 1862, declared all their property for feited, and directed the President to seize it for the benefit of the United States ; more than .ten billions of prop erty thus became vested in the United States. Proceedings against more than two billions of property, including the abandoned estates, bad been instituted and were in progress. The President has. restored to the traitors nearly the whole of it. Thus has he illegally given away half enough to pay. the national debt. He has enriched trait ors at the expenses of loyal men. And. yet Congress, bold as it was, had not the courage to reverse these proceed ings and compel the Executive to do his duty. I trust that our constituents will give us more courage, so that at the next session we may compel the President to do his duty and execute the laws. These are omi-sions which I frankly confess and sincerely deplore. But our crowning rin was the omis sion to give homesteads and the right of suffrage in the rebel States to the freedmeu who helped fight our bat-’ tics/’ We quote his remarks in favor of NEGRO SUFFRAGE.- <L\s I said before the great issuo to be met at this election is the question of negro rights. I shall not deny, but admit, that a fundamental principle of the Republican creed is that every be ing possessing an immortal sou) 18 C( I UJ d before the law. They are not and cannot be equal in strength, height, beauty’ intellectual and moral culture, or social acquirements, these are ac cidents which must govfern their con dition according to circumstances. — 13ut in this Republic tbe same laws must and shall,apply to every mortal, American, Irishman, African, Gorman or Turk. It is writen by the finger of the Almighty law-giver, ‘Ye shall have one manner of laws, as well for the stranger as for one of your own coun try ; far I am the Lord your God.’ “I need not be admonished that the support of this doctrine on the eve of an election is dangerous, especially in counties bordering on tbe slave States. A deep seated prejudice against races has disfigured the human mind for ages. For two centuries it has op pressed the black man and held him in bondage after white slavery had ceased to exist. Now it deprives him of every right in the Southern States We have joined in inflicting those wrongs. How has the father of this blameless race rewarded this prejudice —treated this despotism ? Let the stain 6 upon your garments, and the gory-graves that dot a thousand bloody battle-fields give the sad answer. ‘•This doctrine may be unpopular with besotted ignorance. But, popu lar or unpopular I shall stand by il until I am relieved of the unpopular labors ot earth. Being the foundation of our Republic, I have full faith in its ultimate triumph. I may not live to see it. I may net be Worthy of such happiness. It it is to be finally Ue seated, and the hopes of man thus extinguished, I pray God that, when it happens, I may be insensible to human misery ; that my senses may be locked in “cold obstruction and in death.’ ” That there should be no doubt-as to what lie intended to do in Congress he has thus declared himself boldly in favor of CONFISCATING REBEL PROPERTY. “Who denies that this is the law of nations but the advocates of treason, who deny our right to make them pay the expenses of the war? Tley cry out against confiscation for crime, as if it were inhuman God will ng, I shall try it again, and see if they do net pay part of the cpst and damages of the war before they help to make our laws. 77 These extracts show the aiiimus of the Radical party, and warn us of what we may expect if they succeed in overthrowing the party which now stands face to face with them in the Northern States. In view of the de signs here made public, how utterly unreasonable and unworthy of notice, asks the Richmond Dispatch, are the puerile'objections raised by grumblers in the South ag.inst the phraseology of part of the platform adopted by the Conservative National Convention. The Riot at Indianapolis, In diana. —The Chicago Times has from a correspondent some further particu lars of the disgraceful proceedings at Indianapolis, Indiana, on the occasion of the airival of the President and party there. The correspondent of the Times says: The President was introduced to the crowd by Sol. Meredith, and attempt ed to speak, hut the crowd would not let him. The President said : It you will let ms soeak five minuets, I will —‘ (Shut up, you damned traitor, or Pll shoot you 1” came from a voice. ‘‘Shoot the damned traitor 1” “Shoot him “Shoot him 1” cried several voices.) Bang, bang, bang ! went three •shots. A group of “Irishmen, carrying a transparency with the motto “Irish men welcome the President/’ were attacked and severely beaten, and in discriminate firing commenced, some twelve shots being fired. A terrible scene transpired, in which men with torches were beaten rnd driven off by Radicals, who were armed with clubs and pistols. The President, Grant, Farragut, Custar and many others of the gentle* men composing the President’s party witnessed the whole affair General Grant saw a dozen shots fired, and remarked that it was the most dis graceful scene he ever saw. A large •number.of Irishmen were injured, in cluding two who were severely wound ed. • An organization called the loyal league, with a tattered flag) caused all the trouble —which was premediated. General Grant commanded them to go home, which ‘ they did,, all the while swearing that the President should not speak in Indianapolis. Bc-fore the Radicals dispersed they had thorough ly cleaned out the Irish clubs and Johnson men, and had the field to themselves. Andrew Steward, an Irishman, wras shot in the eye, and has since died. -Walter Rucken, an old man, wounded in the knee, and John Stay was shot in the hand — ■m -m m +-- Adjournment of the FenJaN Congress.— -The Fenian Congress, re cently held at Troy, New York, ad journed sine die on Sunday morning having been in session all Saturday night. Col. W. R. Roberts was re elected President. P. J. Meehan President of the Senate, and J. N. Fitzgerald Speaker of the House. — Gen. Sweeny was deposed as Secreta ry of War, but no successor has been named. His accounts were satisfacto ry, but he was believed to be incompe tent. Gen. O’Neii was appointed In spector General of the Irish Republi can Army, and Col Bailey Chief Mil itary Organizer. It is still hoped that Gen. Sheridan will be prevailed upon to accept the command of the forces. Another movement on Canada will, the Fenians say, undoubtedly be made during the fall if the contributions are plentiful. ■, —~ Tho Tomato for Food. A good medical authority ascribes to the tomato the following very im portant medical qualities,,: 1. That the tomato is one of the most powerful aperients of the liver and other organs, where calomel is in dicated, it is one of the most effective and least hatmlcse medical agents known to the profession. 2. That a chemical extract will be obtained from it that will supersede the use of calomel in the care of dis ease. 3. That he has successfully treated diarrhoea with this article alone. 4. That when used as an afticle of diet, it is almost sovereign for dyspep sia and indigestion. 5. That it should be constantly used for daily food Either cocked or raw, or in the form of catsup, it is the most wholesome aiticle in use. — * ♦ ■ Cross Your “T’s” —It it is not amiss to cross one’s “t’s” in writing cHe mistakes may as in the case of the merchant who wrote to his agent who was cruising round the coast ot Africa, to send him two monkeys. Now the merchant was somewhat de ficient in orthography, so he spelled two, “too,” and a3 he omited to cross his “t,” the agent with some surprisej read the order, “100 monkeys;” At length one of the merchant’s vessels came to port —the deck, masts) and riggin all alive with grinning laces. The puzzled merchant read the agent’s letter with still more puzzled brain : “Dear Sir—Yours of March 10 receiv ed. 1 send fifty monkeys. Have found it difficult to procure so large a number, will endeevor to fill out the balance of your order, and forward by next ship. Yours truly, John Smith.’ The Iron ‘Crown.— When the Austrians recently ceded Venice to France, they carried off from Venice the famous Iron Crown of Lombardy, and its restoration has been demanded by the Italian Government, to whom France has ceded Venetia. This crown, although made chiefly ot gold, derives its name from an iron band encircling the interior, which is said to have been made from one of the nails driven through Chiist’s body at the crucifixion. It was wom by Char lemagne, the first Emperor of Ger many, more than a thousand years ago; was preserved in Italy through the terrible devastations of the Middle Ages ; and was finally worn by Napo leon Bonaparte, who with it was crown ed King of Italy at Milan. When Austria became master of Lombady, the crown followed the fortunes of the country, aod now that the country is again made part of the Italian king dom, the Italian Government justly claims the crown- DAWNING OF A NEVA REVOI.F TIOX, The Radical editor of the Pittsburgh Chronicle, in a criticism under the above caption, upon the conservative course of the New York Times, inter rogates the latter as to its understand ing of the purposes of the President. He asks.’ “Do you understand Mr. Johnson to have resolved, should the Republican preponderance be perpetu. ated iu Congress, to disregard that as the true Congress, and recognize the Southern members, and such of the Northern and Western members ns will go with them, as the true one ? and if he has formed such n purpose, what do you think of it V’ He remarks also : “There is a growing concern in the public mind in reference to this matter, and the people, are becoming Elaruied.” • In its reply the Times repeats its note of warning of an impending re volution, and argues that if the South ern States and districts in the North ern. States sympathizing with them, sufficient in numbers to constitute such legal quorum, should elect Rep resentatives to the House, whilst the Radical Northerners who do not be lieve in the right of the Southern States to representation, should send their Representatatives, claiming that they constituted tho House of Rep resentatives in Congress, then the President would be called upon, as the Chief Executive of the nation, to recog nize one of these bodies as the lawful ore. . Ho must send his message to one or the other and must sign bills passed by one or the other; It cites the law of Congress approved by the President in U 62, now upon the statute books, which, provides “that from and alter the 6th of Match, 1863, the numbers of the llouso of Representative of the Congress of the United States shall be two hundred and forty-one ; and the eight additional members shall be assigned one in each to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, lowa, Min nesota, Vermont, and Rhode Island.” This gives Cougress 241 members,- and by law, a majority of the whole number, or 121 members, constitute a quorum. And tho Times says : Sup pose that members elected from the Southern States should meet in De cember, 1867, and be.enough, added to Northern Members who believe in their right to representation, and who would meet with them to constitute a quorum, and suppose the Northern members who do not believe the South entitled to representation, and who would not meet with, them should meet by themselves, constituting less than a quorum of the whole number. The President must treat one or the other as a branch of Congress, clothed with the power of making laws, and tho other as having no such authority. And, continues the Times, there can be very little doubt, in view rs his known opinions on the subject, that President Johnson will recogni’ze the numerical quorum —the body which contains a majority of all the members —as the only body authorized by the Constitution to make laws for the Uni ted States. With the case thus stated and taken in connection with the un qualified assumption of the President that tne Southern States are still with in the pale of the Union and have never been out of it, the consequence necessarily follows that he will send iis message to the larger body, and will sign the bills it passes, if concur red iu by the Senate. But the Senate as at present constituted, politically, will doubtless refuse to recognize the arger body and affiliate with the smaller. The Senate, therefore would take a position antagonistic to the President in such a case. The Times says in this connection : Here, certainly, is danger of a colli sion of authority. We have foreseen it, and have warned the country of it. The Radicals have foreseen it, and have been preparing for it. They lave not Concealed their purpose, in such an event, to appeal to force, and rouse the country to another conflict of arms, It was with direct reference to such a contingency that Gen- B; F; Butler was last winter maile comman der-in-chief of the militia of Massa chusetts. It was for the purpose of preparing for this that a bill was brought into Congress last winter call, ing on all the Northern States to reor ganize, discipline, and arm their mili tia, and proposing to take from the President control of the arms and munitions of war belonging to the Uni ted States, and to distribute them among the Governors ol the Northern States. “Radical members said openly on the floor of Congres that they intend ed to be n ady for such a conflict of au thority when it should arise—that the negroes of the South should be prepared and armed for it also; and that the President and bis Cabinc, and everybody in CoDtress who stood by him, should be driven headlong into the Potomac. And it was a foresight of this contingency, and a desperate desire to attach the commanding Gen eral of the Armies of the United States to their scheme, that prompted Thaddeus Stevens in Congress, and their organs through the counity, to nominate Gen. Grant so ostentatiously for the Presidency, and to invent and ciroulatc so industriously inventions YOL. VL-No. 39. and rumors of his hostility to th* views and policy of President John Son. Their machinations failed. Gen. Grant maintained, and still maintains his personal independence. Xbc Rada lit Phiiailrlpliiii.. ’ One cannot read the detailed rdport® of the Radical disunion convention, lately in -session at Philadelphia, with . out mingled feelings of amazement, horror, shame, grief and amusement. Are these fellows crazy, or are they more'knaves than fools ? is .tho instinc tive query of every one. From the proceedings of Thursday the following gems are reset : A BLASPHEMOUS sc-exe. i The Convention met at half past ten. and the Rev. t)r. Newman, of New Orleans, yesterday elected Chaplain* opened the proceedings with*prayer. After invoking the Divine co-cpera tion for the removal of all prejudices growing out of race or color, the re verend gentlemen dwelt a little on the subject of reconstruction as follows . “Save us, wo pray, from partisan influ ences. Save us, we pray, from outside pressure.’’ This was a gentle hint to Providence to call off the dogs of Con servation who are trying to Bai'ft’ the Radical Southerners out of their„con victions. Then Mr Newman called the Lord's attention to the President in this wise ; “Hear us, we beseech thee, for our nation at large. Deliver us from the rule of bad men —[Cries of Amen] —and especially from him who, through satanic agencies, has been raised to authority over us —£yells of Amen} —and who, abusing that au thority is endeavoring not only to take the life of the republic, but, our per sonal liberty. [Shouts of “Amen/’} Great God, interfere. Arncns till i seemed as rs the roof wouli fall ]’ Oh. make bare thine arm* and save us from his ruinous policy [umens, and cries of “Yes, Lord/’] from the bad counsels of the bad men who surround him. [A delegate, in an audible voice,” “Yes, Lord, Seward and Weed, and'all them hounds.'*] \Ye beseech Thee to dis cover to the American people the base hypocrisy of that party that sustains him. [“Amen/’ louder than ever, in eluding one from Ben, Wade, who wai on the platform. Oh, send a spirit l’i;our Thy throne to arouse the American people in this tremendous hour>m. [Amens from all parts of the hall.J So arouse the clergy, the men who are thy representatives, who are to declare the eternal principles of religion and political justice, that they, in may arouse their flocks to the dangey which threatnes them. Save them, oh Lord, From the ravenous wolves ihjit would devour them. So pour out Thy spirit that the women and children in the land shall be aroused to a sense of duty, to a sense of sympathy, in this’ grand struggle. [Amen.] Now, hear us, and answer us. Preserve Thy. servants before thee; have in Thy kind care and keeping their beloved families, far away, and grant that in all deliberations wc may be guided to right conclusions, and to such conclu sions as shall overthrow the policy of our enemies •, such conclusions as shalt advance religion and civilization ; such conclusions as shall redound to Thy glory. And to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, we will ascribe everlast* ing praise, world without end. Amen.’. Having said this, Dr. Newman took his seat, and a disposition to applaud was manifest throught the audience.. ■ ■■ • < -A . *. . Them Good Old Daze—As for B) Josh Killing*.
