The Presidents remarks to the Southern
delegation, yesterday, on restoration gcner-
ally and the future status of the negro in
particular, arc printed in full in to.day's
papers, and arc hailed by oil true mon as an
earnest of the real purpose of the Govern
mont, and Of the good intentions which arc
to govern the people Of the South in their
future conduct.
Tho declarations Of the President, taken
in connection with the clear, semi. official OK.
position of his viows as reflected in the recent
letter of Secretary HARLAN, gives tho people
a complete insight into the policy to be pur-
sued in disposing of the vexed question Of
negro suffrage in the Southern States.
In word, each Southern State must come
to Congress with q Constitution guaranteeing
to all its citizens REPUBLICAN, FORM OF Gov
observation-disclosures Senators and Repre-
sentative will not obtain seats.
A constitution not giving to the freedman
the means to protect his freedom, cannot be
republican, and will surely bo rejected, to,
gether with those who bring it. This is
constitutional; this doctrine was avowed in
the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN in June last.
The attention of the South Carolinians
was directed to it by the President months
ago. Secretary HARLAN, speaking for the
President, roitoratos it, and the loyal people
everywhere say "Amen."
1t appears that ex.rebol Senator II. 8
FooTE, foreseeing this obstacle to the read
mission of the seeded States, declares, 81
prefer to end our trouble OF once, by granting
suffrage to the freedmen" This, he says, il
to be the price by which immediate represcn
tation Is to be obtained in the National Le
gislature for all the States of the South.
FoorE is getting sensible.

FoRT SMITH, Ark, Sept. l0.-The Indian
Council yesterday was taken up in reading
stipulations to be added by the Government
upon all treaties in the Southwest. The
stipulations propose grand consolidation Of
all the tribes into one National Territory,
which shall be at present tho Indian Terri
tory, and such others as the Government may
decide upon. The tribes now living in Kan
sas to be removed to the South, and the South
western tribes are expected to compel the
Indians of the plains to observe the treaties.
The Indians now here say they understand
ley were called to meet the late rebel tribes
and renew friendly relations with them and
not to make new treaties, which they are un-
willing aud unauthorized to do. None but
loyal tribes are now here, but others are ex-
| rected soon.
Replies made to-day by different delegations
present to propositions presented to them on
Saturday all speak fayorably Of the policy
of the Government, and, appear anxious to
renew friendly relations with it, and many
of them promise their aid in bringing the
hostile Indians Of the plains to terms.
| Messengers arrived to-day from the council
in session at Armstrong; Academy, had by
the Cherokees and ChOctaws, stating that
their delegates will arrive on Friday.

New York, Sept. IA Beaufort letter,
of tho 9th, states that not single house can
be had in New Bcrne, and warns Northern
ers who intend cmigrating there to bo pre-
pared accordingly. The lack of mechanics,
saw mills, and building material, combined
with refusal of property holders, who have
been identified with the rebellion, to sell any
of their thousands of acres of timber land
within sight of New Berne prevents any
progress in building by ehtsrprisng persons
It is proposed that mass meetings be held
ut Beaufort, New Berne and Washington, to
demand the enforcement of the confscatior
act, If this proscriptivo policy is not aban-
doned.

The FINAL SURREEDER.-LEE's capitula-
ton to GRANT was prompt and graceful
JonSsroN's surrender TO SHERMAN was no
loss bscoming and now we have the party
which by habit calls itself the Democratic
party, giving in to its victors, without a
confession of the fact, it is true, but in sub
stance. 1t docs not disband it does not
abandon its machinery Of organization; il
adheres to its old name and purposes but it
quits the old issues, says nothing of its late
characteristic opinions, selects its best can,
didates from the ranks of its late opponents,
and promises support to the President whom
it did not choose and to his reconstruction
policy which it did not suggest.-NeW Porh

NEW YORK POLITICS.

The evidence Of the utter decentralization
of the Democratic party. and the indications
of its speedy dissolution multiply day by day.
Resolutions mean not muoh-especially when
they emanate from the Now York Democracy.
The record of Gen. SLoCUM stands forth as
the platform upon which that party is COM
poled to 60 before the people, and upon
which it stands unwillingly and ungraceiully
enough. Gen. WILLIAM ii. SLoCUM was a
whig. In the fusion year-l855-he, with
the great majority Of his party, went into
tho Republican movement. As a member OF
that party, he was elected to the Legisla-
ture-elected with the countenance and sup,
port, and, indeed, If we mistake not, upon
the instigation Of Mr.. THURLOw WEED.
He Joined the army, and to his appoint
ment as General the influence of Mr..
WEED again contributed As a General,
while in command in the Army of the PotO-
mac, his conversation was of the most radi.
cal character. There was no General in
that army whose views were more freely ex-
pressed or were more utterly opposed to the
principles then, and until within the last
two months, constantly expressed by the
party which has now undertaken to put hin
forth as its representative. And since h,
has been in the Southwest, If We may judg'

respondence, he has advanced MS rap
