Mr. Johnson has discovered another mare's nest.
He has formally suggested to Congress the possibility
that Congress may, as the consequence of enforcing tli°
Reconstruction Act, be compelled to yote the whole rove°,
-
required to pay all the governmental expenses of °
Southern States, and that the Federal Government Pei,
become liable for the whole debt of these States incurre"
previous to the war. Wo are afraid Mr. Johnson has hee:
consulting "the College of London" or "the Britis-a
jurists," by whom the unfortunate Maximilian was induce
to believe that ho had a good title to the Mexican throne,
or ho would hardly fall into such absurdities. H° surenill
knows that no Government ever becomes liable for
gill
debts except such as it chooses to assume. Congress
have to pay the debts of the Southern States, and to Are"-
money for all their expenses, whenever it pleases to do e°;
but not sooner. There is no process for collecting olel3elo
from Governments against their will. if Mr. Johoe'n
writes many more messages, we shall be driven into seri°-5
i misgivings as to the state of his health.-7'he Natioo•
T ° here was an important caucus of the Republie-tur
members of Congress on Monday evening, July 15; scl),i,-,
Morgan, of New York, presiding. General Schee; st
Chairman of the Executive Committee, elected at the
Session, made a report stating that the Committee had c`;‘,,
lected about $17,000, most of which has been spent in
ploying speakers and organisers, and furnishing relio
ing matter to the South. The Committee j 5
61.4
employing some sixty coloured men and sev°oo
whites in organising the Republican party ill
Southern States. Judge Kelly gave a favourable accv-of
of prospects in the South, and urged the necessitY of
going forward with this work. Senator Chandler,
aie
Michigan, said every member of Congress ought to t the
at least $l,OOO in his district for these operations in boa
South, and ho believed' if ample means were-furnina
at least two of the reconstructed States °file
be carried at the first election. Senator NIP-0.
said the result of the election in Virginia, next Sept
ber, will astonish the nation, for she will take rank I°ooo
the first Republican States. It was agreed that sl°'!heril
I should be raised for the Southern field, and the luerejooo
pledged themselves to do their utmost to raise it; $l3O,
was subscribed before the meeting adjourned. '°
orAO
publicans of the country will not fail to respond lib
to this call. A dollar spent now in the South will aoce,
plish more than ten a year hence. It is the seed-00eRepublicanism.
