J. Mcß.tin, showing a mistake by the ar bitrators in the late arbitration of the property of TANARUS, J. Mcßitin? Laid over for the ur. sent. Council, then adjourned. Win. CLINE, Clerk. From the N. Y. Times. Etclnriiug the “The South has nothing worse to fear,” is the declaration with which the World would break the force of Tuesday’s verdict upon the now ex cluded St ties. ‘J lie argument offered in support of this view lies in a nutshell. The ltc publicans —it sets forth have already iroiK to the length of their tMlier.” They overcame the veto of the Presi dent in the matters of the Civil flights Bill and the Freedman's Bureau Bill, “at.d can proceed no further except by proposing amendments to the Constitution,” and as ten excluded States may calculate upon the uss.s> tance of Kentucky, Maryland and i Delaware, the World reasons that nci. . ther the proposed amendment- nor any other amendment which the Ilepublt i cat s may desire can.be engrafted upon the Constitution. ‘Therefore, it is * contended, the worst possible conset quence of the elections, to the South, will be “a protracted exclusion from Congress.*’ 1 The same line of reasoning is in vogue j at the South. “The worst that can ; happen to us,” say influential Southern journalists, “is continued deprivation j of the right of representation in Cons gross. \\ e need fear no other punish ment. And since wo may cultivate corn and cotton, build raihoads and run steameis, as well without repres- j entation as with it, let us remain as we j are, awaiting the time when our dear ; . friends, the Democrats, shall regain - power, and restore us irrespective of. conditions.” Such is the general train of remaik with which the Southern (f; pie are appea ed t), ufler a passive j ; resistance to the measure presented by 1 Congress lor their ratification They i are encouraged in the bcl.cf that simp- ■ ly by biding their time they may ob tain restoration to the Union upon i their own terms. And on the princi- j , pie that they have “nothing worse to leal’ than they are already accustomed to, they refuse either to ratify the | Amendment, or to offer any other form of compromise as an equivolent. A more cruel delusion is not easy to imagine. One might have thought that the utter, hopeless failure of the j Democracy would Lave taught the isuuth tin: folly ofttusling to that party tor ussistai.ee in the vvotk of restora tion. Its inability to carry a single j Northern State should convince the must zealous Southerners that nothing “ - in the shape ot help ean come from i that quarter/ \\ e should have suppu- j 1 sed, too, that the same appteci, tiuu of events which led the \\ orld to counsel the President sensibly as to his duty, would hate indteed it to speak candt- | ; diy to the boutli. Ot what avail will j be hnther jugglery and double-deal ing ‘! W hut can follow a persistent at i tempt to cheat the South into the aooplion of false hopes and expecta tions, except a heaping up of wrath against the day of vengeance ( For instead of having “nothing worse to tear, tna South fi rs much to \ fear if it continue indifferent to the ( j warning suggested by toe elections.— ll it.scout the terms of the amendment - J now tendered for its acceptance, it may be hetcaftcr compelled to subaiit to 1 terms vastly more .obnoxious. The 1 present amendment presupposes the ! continued posession of the State sov- ■ eretgn y. But if tins be rejected, oth er amendments may be enforced over- : mhng Sta.fo-a^^^^- T 7 ? pv mn j ; suffrage, and investing w;th political power un element that will be fatal to ttie class uow controlling Southern at. fairs. We have among us extremists who watch eagerly for rejection of the piesetit amendment as a pretext for pressing more rigorous demands. They are restrained as yet by the prevailin'’ moderation of the Republican party, as guaranteed by the pledges upon winch uur victories have been uchiev td. Let this amcndiae it fat , and tie ultra Radicals will acquire an iuipor* tance just now deuied them ; and tfien tuo, late, the South wilt discover the mockery which is hidden under the \\ oild s talk about having “’nothin-’ worse to fear.” But these extreme measures must ‘ come iu the form or constitutional amendments, and the ten excluded States, with the help of Kentucky, | Maryland and Delaware, will be able to j prevent their ratification. . 31ust the position necessarily remain thus? Ac cording: to the ol i reading of constitu tional right yes. But the old reading may not always prevail. And then } what may happen-?—Suppose, for in. stance, it be contended that all that is necessary to impart validity to a con. stitut : onal amendment is the thrc fourths’ vote of the States already in ! the Union. Suppose it be bold—and j the point is not without supporters— that the Stat.s now composing Con. I gross are the only State having a law. j ful .voice in the case, an J that three. 1 , fourths of these may alter the Consti- : tution to suit their views. What will then become of the doc t ine that there ! ; is ‘‘nothing worse to fear,” or of the j other consolatory idea that Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware arc on the Southern side ? We are not conjuring up impossible dangers.--We merely direct, attention | to a contingency that is far from im- 1 probable, and which is actually being i j considered in extreme quarters in con , nection with the am ndtnenf before ! i the country. Turning to Mr. Forney’s j I‘less, we tin 1 that zealous apostle of Radicalism mooting Die plan we have 1 ; hinted at as a plan actually available ‘ if the Souther?. States prove otherwise : unmanageable. It ere ; re 3ir. Forney’s j ; words : ‘•There ‘s no dolu 6 more fatal than that which jus tin s continued I ; odstinaev and virulence in the South i v by the assumption that this amend. 1 ment cannot he completed without j the votes of the recently seceded and still insubordinate States. Are you aware that Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson were elected by the votes of twenty-two out of twenty-five adhering. Commonwealths, and that all | the acts of Congress, including the ! contributions in men and money, and : our vast and unparalleled system, of • : finance, were considerci, passed and ‘ perfected 1 y representatives elected in i the same manner ? \\ hat else is need ed but the application of this theory to j the ratification of this amendment, without the votes of the recently rebel- ‘ lious States ? ’ We say nothing in defence of this method of otvc'itfotiling the difficulty, ’ and should deeply deplore its adoption j as an agency in the task of restoration. 1 Tho South, however, should study the shade as weli as the light of the i ture, that it tiny not he inextricably i involved in dangers of which it seems j not yet to dream. It may then, per- | chance, arrive at the conclusion that ! ; the Amendment,-objectionable though it be, is not the greatest of possible ! evils. This ie not a time for shutting ; out the truth, or for hugging the dc : lu~ion that nothing worse cr n happen. The:e may he many worse things than i the Amendment, -is the South may j | s une day find out. How the JZulicuh will he Bilked — \ A fit Besjjonsa Tno N. Y Wot Id thus replies to the threat of the Times, that the North will take all matters into its own hands and change the Constitution to suit itself: Our trimming contemporary admits that this hypithet cal onsequence of 1 rejecting th • amendment would he ! j completely repugnant to the Constitu- I tion, and yet it intimates its intention ; to favor it if the amendment is not i ratified by the Southern States ! ; ; The Times seems to think that the ! moderate section of tho Republican j | party is so indissolubly wedded to the j Radicals, that it will abet them in the ! I most palpable, glaring, acknowledged j violations of the Constitution.. It is : no business of ours to vindicate any I : part of the Republican party against j : this libel; tor libel it is,- even i! true, \ | according to the ol 1 legai maxim, ‘‘the | : greater the truth the greater the libel.” ■ Conceding, then, for the scope of the ; argument, that the whole Republican party will aid the Radicals to break i I down the Constitution, how will the , case then stand ? Will President Johnson recognize bastard amend- i ments ratified only by ti ree-fourths of the represented States,- as a part of the ‘ 1 Constitution ? By no means. They would he spurned by the Supreme Ccurt. \\ ill the Tunes be good enough to tell us how, under these circumstan i ces, they could he enforced. The Times intimates that univers, 1 negro suffrage is the particular amend- j ment iikely to he forced upon the South by the method it describes.— 1 LB'-'.t is anybody verdant enough to sup. pose that, againsTtTio'un'ani7iu3us , o“ position of the outnumbering Southern whites, and against the indignant sense I | of outrage which the attudpt would 1 rouse, the negroes could approach the P dling-places ! It would require a larger army to enforce such a law than we bad in. the tie q at unv time during ! tiie war. \\ ill the p-j ipie consent to be taxed t) support suc.i an army ? Would, not t‘ic public credit be speed lyengulfcl iu such a bottomless abyss ? i Would President John ion, or either 11 our two great conservative generals permit the army to he used for such a purpose? If the Radicals choose to | make this experiment, if they are will- I ing to g) into the Presidential election ( in the midst of such an embroilment, their presumption must be cquil ta 1 their malignity, if they expect to sue. eed. VOL Vl.-Xo. 48. There is another wholesome consid- I oration which we advise the Radicals, and their time-serving abettors, not id overlook. The physical strength of the country is on the side of the Con stitution. Even if the whole Republi can party is mad enough to support the Radicals in attempting to force negro suffrage on the South, that party is still in a minority of about a million in the United Slates. The male cUt zons of Virginia alone woul 1 cancel* and overleap all the Republican majori ties in this year's elections. If a ma jority of one section undertakes to circumvent an 1 break down the Con stitution, why may not a majority of the whole people come to its roscur ? Adventures oe a Speaker.— A humorous contributor to the St. Louis Republican evidently under stands the capabilities of the English language. He attempt to make Johnson speecli in a Radical meeting with the following results: Fortunately there was but one light in the room, and that was a tallow candle. The first chair hurled at me ! struck it and left us all in the dark. I ! could hear them rushing toward the stand and I made for the door. That was a sympathizing crowd. They couldn’t see me, hut they all felt for me. On they came an l on l went. Came in violent contict with the globe like form of Old Chopps.
