Could Not Incur n Forfeiture Oh
Their State Existence.

Thetr Etnuo HIxhbtCmOOs
The Ne,c York Times of the 22d inst. in
forms It's readers that though 1t is perfect-
ly true that the States which lent themselves
to the rebellion did not and could not mereoy
incur any forfeiture Of their State existence IL 10
YET none the less true that the great mass
of their people did make themselves amena-
BILE to the penalties of treason which en-
brace every personal forfeiture"
If the Southern States "did not and
could not" 'incur any forfeiture of their
State existence" by reason of the people
therein engaging in Rebellion, how comes
it that the party in power insists upon such
action as shall be equivalent to a declara-
ton that they did thereby forfeit "their
State existence?" This is the engrossfhg
question of the hour. The question Is not
whether the people OF those states Dy
engaging or participating in the Rebellion
rendered "themselyes amenable to the
penalties OF treason;" but the question
is, do the Southern States exist as States
iu the Unionp And if they exist as States
in the Union, In what section, In what
clause of the Constitution is there to be found
authority by which they can be differently
dealt with from other States in the Union?
If they are States in the Union, TO all in
tents and purposes, they have precisely the
same rights in the Union as States that any
other States havet--nO more and no less
Hence, to compel them, in any manner
whatever, to do that which it is held not ad;
missible to compel other States to do, the
people of which were not In Rebellion, Il
usurpation of power; or, il the language
will please better, is the exercise OF power
that is clearly unconstitutional. u Lgr q.
It's now asserted by journals that stand
high as authority in Administration circles
-FoRNEY's Press and the NJ. Y. Euening Pos
that the President and every one of the
| Departmental of Governments acting on th'
theory that the War is not over, and tina
Congress will likewise act on this theory
Wherefore this? Why do the President ant
every one of the Departments Of Govern
ment act on the theory that the War is no
over, and that Congress proposes to do like
wise? The War is over; everybody know
that. Not a vestige of it exists. 1t wa

everybody. Why, then, do not every De
partment of Government recognize ant
proclaim this fact? The answer is to b,
found in this: they are acting ,oithoM III
sanction Of the Constitution of the Unitet
States they are administering the Govern
ment, so far as certain States, at least, ar
concerned, as though this were military
dynasty; they are administering it unde

General CARL ScHURz is a Radical, and
fayors radical measures as general thing.
He was sent on special mission of obser-
vation throughout the South by the Presl-
dent Since his return from that mission
of observation, we are Informed, he told
the President that Negro Suffrage could
not at present be enforced at the South
without large standing army. The late
elections, where the issue was nakedly
made In the .'loyal'' States, disclose the fact
that Negro Suffrageisvery little more pop
ular than that In the East, North and West.
This feeling Of opposition to Negro Suif--
trage in the South will be set down by the
Radicals as conclusive that the Southern
States must not be admitted to coequal
participation in the Government, because,
as they claim, the hearts of the Southern
people have not undergone the necessary
change. In this connection, it may be ask
ed, is 1t q 'sdisloyaln feeling that prompts a
majority of the people in the East, North
and West to oppose Negro Suffrage? and
that If the Southern States are to be denied
their representation in Congress because OF
the non-extension of suffrage to the Ne
groes, why should the Representatives
from Eastern, Northern and Western States
that have voted down Negro Suffrage be
received? i,ca.,e -, ,,l fs.,... i,,,.,,..ii

That General Comfy, who is understood
asthe "heavy man. of the Columbus Mo1n-
ina Journal, and decidedly "heayy" he Is,
too. has no affection for the Democratic
party, he takes pains to disclose. In part,
this may arise from the fact that out OF
vote OF l0,4SO given in this county on the
second Tuesday Of October last for Repre-
s,ntative, els7 testified that the principles
h6 brotessed to represent were contrary to
their convictions Of right. This, too after
he and the then editor of the State Journal
had visited various parts of the county and
implered the people to vote for him; and
because neither he nor the State Journal
were able to convince a majority OF the
voters of this city and county that it was
their duty to vote for him, since mounting
the tripod he has vented his spleen upon.
the majority. On the 9th Of November, in
an editorial he characterized the members
OF the Democratic party as fags and toad
eaters :" and Notwithstanding we suggested
to him the impropriety Of using such Ian
guage toward the members of the Demo-
cratic party, on the 22d of November he
characterized them asa body who held
"decercv and godliness" in such especial dis
favor that they would not tolerate an editor
who gave to either the slightest support or
appreciation. The next morning, in an ed
itorial In which he undertook to establish
his assertion that the Democratic party is
dead, by citations from couple of South
ern journals, he used this language:
"We have already quoted largely of these
indications, that the S0Sthern leaders are t'r-
ed of their faithful t0adN eaters Ethe Demo-
crats) at he North, and they are disposed to
hare respect for true manhood tohich obtains

averted, which the Journal in its issue of the
22d argued was not essentially necessary,
they are pronounced indecent, and because
they wish to have the Federal Government,
in all its departments, conform its official
conduct to the spirit and letter Of the Con-
stitution, they are reprobated~ by this
paryeuue as ungodly. BY his edito-
