DNED SCOTT REVIVED.

An evening paper objects TO our statement
tAat under the present system Of rcconstrnc-
tfon, the co1orcd people Of the South have no
rights but such Us the whites choose to grant
10 thcul. Hence all rights they do have,
under this system, ptrlain 10 them not as
citizens having inherent rights, but as aliens
and out-lews TO whom the white population,
in ther Legislatures, have doled ont a few
privileges rs matters Of favor and Indulgence.
The coloted people have no citizenship, no
Inherent rights, nothing but what they ro-
:cciye ns matter OF nl,ns in charity from
legislatures elected by exclusively white
clcctors. What Is this In theory and In
fact but the rcitesntion Of Taoey's Dred
Scat doctrine that colorcd men have
no rights that white men are bound TO re-
SPECIFY Under the Dred Scott decision this
doctrine was applied to the negro tndividu-
elly as compared with bis white rnaster. I'm
der the present reconstruction policy It Is
applied 10 tic tour millions of negroes, col
lectivcly, none of whom have any rights that
any bcdy i bound to respect, except as the
eight millions Of rebel whites may grant them.
Il Is the Dsed Scott decision varied slightly
in Its application formerly it applied
10 the individual, now to the COM
lnunlty. : Docs not the President

this basis ? l. il not singular that while nine

1t will be recollecscd that short time
distribution, BY Extra Billy Smith, Of SCI 900
In gold aud silver coin. It was stated, and
has since proven 10 be true, that, anticipating
the evacuation Of Richmond, and the entire
occupation Of the State by the national forces,
the rebel Coy. Smith drew from the Exchange
Bank Of Richmond the aforementioned sum,
and parcelled II out among his friends, stannch
and true. The House Of Delegates appointed
a committee to investigate the affair, aud to-
day report Oh the subject was received.
The committee were instructed by resolution
to report whether the funds were In the
er, 1t they vera not, II any legislation was
necessary TO legalize any distribution that
might have been made. From the report It
seems TINT the money was originally borrow
ed BY ''the usnrped and pretended goveEn-
ment at Richmond" as The AlexaDdrsa Con-
stitution Of the State calls the rebel orsauiza-
tlon, from the Bank of the Commonwealth,
in March, tS65. The loan was apparently vol
nntary, bnt in reality was "compulsory."
This bank not being an authorized deposftary
of tao State, the money was Transferred to
On an order dated April l.. {Query-Did
Extra Billy then know that Richmond was
gone pp.) As the money belonged to
the usulping organization, the committee
argue that BY right Of conquest 1t belongs
properly lO.tu6 UOlLeQ 5la1ES. 10 use tAEN
own words s'ths present government, re-
presenting the State Of Virginia,
cannOt assert any claim to this money BY
right OF conquest, for I'll the rights Of con-
guest, Whateyer they be, belong to the United
States. This Government Is the continuation
Of the rightfnl Government which existed
prior to tie ordinance ofsecession," and does
not succeed the usurpi1g power. It's Consti-
tution provides that Il shall not provide by
Inv for the payment OF debts contracted by
the assumcd organization Of rebel1ious power,
and, therefore,, 1t cannot take charge OF
money obtained by such debts, unless per-
haps by estoppel which would only prove
effective IN case the frauds were Round
in the State Treasury at the time
the rfghtfu1 Government took posses
sion Of tho capitol aud Offices at Rich
moud. The committee find, however, that
the distribution WAS not justified by law nor
excused By the circaHstances,r and recon-
mend that no action be taken ii the premises
by the Legislature, although In their opinion,
the Exchange Bank has right to sue tie par
ties to whom the money was given, and de-
claye the whole subject as one Ut for judicIous
action.
The report of the committee Ia lengthy and
verbose, but the gist 1t Is given above, and
will be scen to assert IN new form the de-
munds Of fEis State to be recognized US LEGAL

many as masserIy Argument. In this parti-

The report of Gen. Carl Echurz, the 1rst
part Of which VIC publish elsewhere, is one of
the most important and Instructive docu-'
ments which 1as been sent In to Congress dur
Ing tho present session. The Presidcnt's mcs-
snlsc and the reports Of the several bends of
departments nre able historic reviews Of VIC
tories gained and Of questions which are IN
tho uain settled by the closing year Of the
war. But Gen. Schurz's report opens up to
us Ia full tic living Issue Of reconstruction,
the al1-absorblng question OF to-day. The
facts therein presented form the inspiration Of
The Republican party In and ont Of Congress,
in Its Issue with the Presidents policy. The
country is indebted to the President for hay
ing included as feature in his reconstruction
competent to show its fa!lacies and Its fall
ures, together with the remedy. Gen. Schurz's
report may be considered as consisting
OF two parts, the flest devoted to the while
population Of the South, the second TO the
freedmen. Rather thau impair the document
by condensation, VIC present tic FIRST part to-
day IN full. It glances over nothing, Int
strips bare the heart OF the South, and cSh1b.
It's It TO us with all Its feeble Unionism aud
atrong dkloYalty, with all lis lore OF q lost
cause, Its hstrcd OF loyal men, whether North
ern or Southern, aud its represscd hut irre-
prcssiblc devotion 10 the ideas that ruled the
Confcderacy. He traces this state Of things
In the elections, in wllcl many candidates up
peal to the voters for their sutftsges On the
ground Of participation in tho rebeIlion-nos
ono on the ground OF thorough loyalty TO the
Union. The man who did not, upon the
passage Of the ordinance OF seces-
sion, go with the rebellion Is
politically pe:secuted, personally hnted and
socially dcspised. Jra. Dasis might as well
nsk 10 bc Senator from Illinois, US for real
Union man to ask for Office at The South.
Tie only exception Gen. Schurz met with WAS
In the case Of Mr.. Crawford, from the State
oi Jones, +" In Mississippi, county which &C.
ccded from Mississippi during the var and
maintained its Independence throughout the
rebellion In defiance of JeG. Davis and lis
miulons. Gen. Schurz shows that eren now
genuine Union men arc not aaia at the South
outside our plckcts, md that the withdrawal
Of our troops would be the sisnal for the
hight Of all real Cnfonlsts 10 the North. A
fimsy prctcnce Of Unionism broke out when
the President's North Carolina proclamation
promised to restore the rebels to tho power
they bad abandoned, but II had Its beginning
and It's end in a desire to monopo1ize the
Offices, nnd make the laws for the South In
such manner TINT the colored people should
be outlaTed and placed In condition or po-
ntical slavery. In the subsequent portion Of
this report, which VIC will present tomorrow,
Gen. schuez proceeds to exhibit the condition
OF the freed people, and to show that under
The present system demonstration they be-
come the slaves of the state-not freedmen
nor citizens. The report will attract more
attention as the session Of Congress continues,
as IL will doubtless be the point Of attnck Of
The Copperhcads and a bulwark OF defence for
the Hcpuhltcnns

TIE LESSON OF THE YEAR.

"Count no man happy I'LL lie dies" says
solon; and his saYins Is quite as true Of peo-
pies and of causes Us OF men, And we have
seen greater examples Of lis truth, both in
public and In individual life, than crer Solon
saw. It is as II the God Of Nations, in bring
ing in tho new order Of things, the democratic
gloGe, wishes to set forth some greater cI-
amp1es Of the essential victory aud immor-
tality Of truth, and of the necessary loath-
somencss and corruption Of falsehood. The
ma1im lus been tAat The world honors sue
cces- It Is partly true, and Jet in great part
1t Ia only true ot that inverted and perverted
world Of tyrants and subjects, Of masters and
slavcs, which Is passing away. The world
that is to le Will honor, what the heart of
man always did honor, nothing but truth !;
and truth Is to be the only success,-truth, of

From The Cincinnati Commercial 18th.

Prcsbytery Immediately proceeded to inycstI-
gate the ease, ond nfter having prnycrfulIy
and deliberately, in several sessions, consld-
ned tho changes made agninst the accused,
and for which le wus summoned 10 answer.
have come to the following result, to-wit:
!. That no evidence Of bis own confession
Of e1tTtnae crime With which be was churred
By rumor, appears but On the contrary, the
witnesses 10 whom said confession was report
ed to have been made, unanimously testify
that 30 far from contessing lie always and u1-
qurufedly denied It.
=. That although no evidcnce presented to
this Prcsbytcry, or which they aru able to
procure, sustains the charge ubcvc alluded
to, yet the Presbytery, By bis own confession,
find the accused guilty OF the sin Of i'm
purity.
). Tint they also find him guilty Of f,lse-
hood and deception In the statement made to
the PresbyterJ, at the time he asked for dis
solution Of his pastoral relation.

and with the purity required by tbs Christian
profession, do solcmnly suspend the saId 81.

our sense ur the honest endeayors or lis seTe-

before us, or whose statement have been made
to the Presb{tery, to act from the outset, In

placed, Justly, prudently and charitably md
that we afectonately exhort the church to
exercise wise and charitable forbearanec to-
ward each other, aud to cu1ttvnte the unity Of
