Who ARE "THE PEOPLE W-The
Presidents plan for construction of the
new Southern States provides that one
tenth Of the voters in each case may Or
ganize and administer the new govern
ment, of course sending Representatives
to Congress. The constitution of the
United States, however, provides that
"the House of Representatives shall be
composed of members chosen every sec
ond year By the people Of the screrat
States" Can one tenth of the people of
any state be considered "the people,"
within the meaning of the constitution
The President SAYS that Congress is the
judge ofthe qualifications ofits own MEM
bers. True-but Congress cannot right
fully repeal the law of its own existence.
1t requires no painful exercise of the per-
ceptive faculties to see, that if the Presi-
dent may limit the pepole" of State
to one tenth Of the voters, he may also
limit the number to five persons or to
one. Such are among the absurdities
which follow the assumption of power
outside the law.-ML NswS.

The Two Plans.

The Louisville Journal, commenting
on the Presidents Message and his "plan,
observes
:" If our readers would contrast with
this plan in all its forms the simple plan
of the constitution, let them turn to the
inaugural address of Governor Bramlette.
No reconstruction says the Governor
in that noble paper, . is necessary. The
government is complete-not broken
not destroyed; but, by the blessing Of
God shall endure forever. A revolted
State has nothing, therefore, to do but TO
cease resistance to law and duty, and re-
turn to its fealty, organize under its con-
stitution, rs it was before, and would be
now but for the revolt, and thus place it
self in harmony with the Federal Gov
ernment. Thus, all that was suspended
by revolt will be restored to action. But
will not the dominant powers require
terms other than thesei Will they not
require the revolted States, as condition
precedent to restoration Of their rela.
tions, TO adopt either immediate or grad
ual emancipation3 These are grave
questions, and suggestive of dangerous
and wicked experiment. We trust to
plighted word and constitutional faith as
guaranty against such an issue. Nothing
but disregard of honor and the principles
of humanity can force such an issue, and
we will not invite an evil by battling it
into being"
Little did our Chief Magistrate dream,
when he expressed this generous trust,
that, ere the sands of the year already
waning should run out, this issue would
be forced deliberately by the President
Yet such is the fact. The fact should
awaken the loyal people of the Union.

GET ENoUGH SLEEP.-We have often
heard young men remark that four or five
hours Of sleep was all they wanted aud
all that the human system required. The
habit OF going without sufficient sleep is
very injurious. Thousands, no doubt,
permanently injurc their health in this
way. We live in fast age, when every
body seems to be trying to pervert the
order of nature. If folks will persist in
turning night into day, it is not to be
wondered at that few last out the allot-
ted term of life. No matter what be a
mans occupation-physical or mental, or,
like Othello's, "gone," and living in idle
ness-the constitution cannot last, depend
upon it, without a sufficiency of regular
and refreshing sleep. John Hunter, the
great surgeon, died suddenly of spasmod-
lc affection OF the heart, disease greatly
encouraged by want Of sleep. In vol
ume just published by a medical man,
there is one great lesson that hard stu
dents and literary men may learn, and
that is, that Hunter probably killed him
self by taking too little sleep. "Four
hours rest at night and one after dinner,
cannot be deemed sufficient to recruit the
exhausted powers of the body and mind"
Certainly not; and the consequence was,
that Hunter died early. If men will in
sist in cheating sleep, her "twin sister,
Death" will avenge the insult.

THE administration majority in the
House of Representatives voted to man
against submitting the question of the
constitutionality of the conscription act
to the adjudication of the Supreme Court
Of the United States. Either these gen.
tlemen expect decision adverse to its
constitutionality or they do not. If they
do not, it was wanton folly to remove the
strong feeling in the public mind against
the bill by procuring an Endorsement of
it from the highest judicial authority. If
they do anticipate decision adverse to
the bill, their vote proclaims an utter in
difference 20 the constitution, and will.

GENERAL FREsoNr's GRIEVANCES s. General
Fremont has written letter to General
Schenck the Chairman Of the Military Com
mittee Of the House, which may be regarded
we suppose. as very significant document
coming from an independent candidate for the
Presidency. II is anything but friendly in its
tone towards the administration. Indeed it is
. severe rebuke for harsh treatment at their
hands, which the General complains Of a. en-
just and offensive in retiring him from
active service against his will for the space of
sixteen months; next, in reducing him to serve
under Gen. Pope, which he pronounces ian un-
meritcd insult" and finally, in giving an import
ant command, which was expressly arranged
for him by the Secretary Of War and approved
by the President during the last session Of Con
gress. to another officer. General Fremont is
grievously offended at these slghts, and he
takes the opportunity of telling the public so
