interest to abstract notions Of honor
Especially SO when such notions are
not their own but borrowed from
false friends IN the North. The idea
Of the Amendment being a humiia-
tioR to the late rebels did not origin
ate with them. but was first proclaim
ed from the Presidential mansion.
Copperheads all over the North reit-
Grated the cry, and now we hear 1t
echoed from South Caolina, Georgia
Mississippi. Had the President ad-
hered to the Amendment and the
Democratic party Withheld its opposi-
ton the Southern people would have
been only too glad to get it, much less
would they have thought Of its being
a humiliation tits an unquestionable
fact that the President aud the Demo-
cratic party are the ouly serious OBJ
sfacles to a speedy reconstruction ou
the basis proposed by Congress.
But the result of the late elections
has greatly disabused the Southern
mind Of the delusive influence of its
false friendships The majorities by
which the Amendment has been en-
dorsed are not greater than those which
elected Mr.. Lincoln aud sustained the
/ prosecution of the war What such
majorities mean the Southern people
by this time very well know, aud hey
have neither the disposition nor the
ability to set themselves again in oppo-
sition to what IS irresistible and
ehangeless. They know too we'll the
temper of the Northern people to be-
lieve that any amount of coutumaey
or bravado can change them from their
/ purposes. and that the spirit which sac
rifced 500. 900 lives and three billions
of money to keep them in the Union
viii withhold from them its benefits un-
til they are willing to resume them on
terms at once safe and Just
There Is but one thing necessary to
insure the adoption Of the Amend
ment by every Southern State, and
I that is an infexible adhesion by the
loyal people to the verdict they have
just given. Let there be no wavering,
no backing down and all will be we'll
/ The Southern States will soon be con-
vinced that no easier terms can be OBJ
tanned, and before the Fortieth Con
gress assemblies every one Of them
will be peacefully restored to the
Union on the basis of the Constitu-
tional Amendment.

Speaking of the defeat of its party in
New York the Marion Democrat says Z:
There is one way that the Democratic
boys can carry the Empire State when
the time comes" Ifh means by vio-
lence it must be the cowardly mob vio-
Ienee by which these same Demo
cratic boys, in behalf of Lees rebel
army then invading Pennsylvania, at
tempted to carry" New York City in
July. 1863. But the Democratic
boys" suddenly got very quiet when
Ben. Butler went up there with a
detachment of veterans from the Army
Of the Potomac. The valiant slayers of
Of babies and burners of Orphan Asy-
lums shrunk to their holes before the
bayonets of the victors of Gettysburg,
well knowing that if they did but open
their yelping mouths in the presence
of Gen. Butler they would have got
something worse than spoons" to
howl about The time may come"
for Democratic rebels to repeat the
same dastardly performances, but it will
be when New York has no loyal bay
onets or batons TO interfere with them.
That villainous kind Of courage which
applies the torch to the roof that shell
ters defenseless children, and pursues
and murders them in the street while
escaping from the flames, is not much
to be feared at any other time.

WIEI TIE -AlEENDAEEET BE AC-
CEPTED

If the late elections mean anything
they are an emphatic declaration that
the loyal people oft Northern States
will make no more concessions to trea-
son, and accept no less penalties for
its crime and guarantees againstits rep
etition than those embodied IN the
Constitutional amendment. The i'm
mense majorities they have just given
/ for the Union ticket show a fixed and
unalterable determination to this ef-
feet which leaves the revolted States
the single choice of accepting the
terms offered, or remaining for an in
definite period in the condition ofun-
represented provinces. It Is just now
an interesting query whether they will
take the latter alternative.
1t is hard to believe that after the
lessons of the past five years the South
ern people can be guilty Of such con-
tumacious, wilful and criminal folly
All the rights and privileges conferred
by our Constitution are now offered
them on most just and magnanimOus
terms, and they have but to reach
forth and take them. IF they long re-
fuse injuries must accrue to their
physical, moral and political prosper
ity which will be far greater than any
possible benefits to be derived by such
a course In the Union the Southern
States will rapidly reeuperate from the
ravages of war, and under the free la
Dor system shortly regain much of the
power and prestige lost by an unsuc-
cessful war for slavery. But out of
the Union society will be involved in
anarchy, uncertainty will paralyze all
branches of industry, discomfort and
idleness will prevail, Improvement will
| be slow, enterprise devoid of encour-
/ agement, and capital unattracted viii
seek investment elsewhere. While
the North will be advancing by gigan-
tic strides in power and wealth the
South must lag behind and ultimately
dwindle into a mere political depend
ency In all that constitutes great and
powerful communities, the Northern
States will tower above those of the
South like Ossa over Pelion, and leave
the latter slowly cropping in their shad-
ow. Indeed, the policy which refuses
to accept the advantages of the Union,
when so cheapIy offered, Is most wan
tonly and insanely suicidal, fact
which it will require but few months
or years at most of rebellious persist
ency TO demonstrate. Whether the
Southern people viii have equality in
the Union on the terms Of the Amend
ment is not so much question for us
as for them, since BY refusing it they
decline their greatest boon and bless
ing. Such refusal cannot materially
injure us but will bring infinite damage
upon themselves.
The Southern people are too saga
cious not to know these things. Even
ifthey contemplate another war for in
dependence the wealth aud population
neoe ssary to achieve it they are well
aware can be soonest attained in the
Union. They must see that the bene-
fits of the Union are essential to their
keeping pace with the loyal States.
They cannot be so blind and so bigot-
ed as to sacrifice so much of mater ial

The New York Herald's correspOn-
dent with the Overland Telegraph Ex-
pedition, writing from Petropalovski,
in Eastern Siberia, gives an encourag-
ing account of the progress of the work.
The Russian corvette YaTiog, a vessel
carrying seventeen guns and three hun
dred men, is detailed to assist in laying
the sea lines. The following is a rec
apitulation of the work on the Russian
said of the Pacific: Major Abasa has
explored the route between Ghijiga and
OchOtsk, and found 1t feasible for the
construction of the telegraph. Can
tain Mahood has explored the route
from the mouth of the Amoor to the
Ochotsk, and found it feasible for
work. Lieut.. Lennon has explored
the route Ghijiga to Anodyrsk, and
from that point to Anadyr Bay, and
found it feasible for the work Capt.
Macre has travelled among the Tehueh-
tbs, the savage tribes in the northern
part of Siberia and found them entirely
Major Abasa has travelled
among the Kerikas and the native
and found them en-
tirely friendly. Capt. MahOod and
Major Abasa have travelled among the
Tungusi and other tribes between Chi
jiga and the mouth of the Amoor and
found them entirely friendly.
The Tungusi revealed to them a route
through the mountains, which they
have hitherto kept secret for their own
uses. Work has been commenced at
several points, wherever Workmen can
be procured. Poles were being cut,
and houses constructed for stations
and supply depots Points have been
along the Okahatski for land
ing supplies and material for the line
these are mainly at the mouths of riv-
ers, that may be used for transporta-
ton to the interior. A sufficient num-
Der of workmen will be provided at
Yokautsk for building the line where
the natives are not In desired abund-
ance, or are unwilling to labor Major
Abasa has already made the prelim-
mary arrangements for obtaining these
wOrkmen. Materials and supplies will
be provided as fast as the ships arrive
at Ghiiiga.

The result Of the election in New
York turns out better than was antic-
ipated. Forty-seven of the interior
counties gave Governor Fenton a ma
jority of 1867, and he will have a
net majority Of not less than $4,000
in the State. Ia the rural districts
there have been immense Republican
gains, for the intelligent country peO-
pie, unlike the depraved and ignorant
roughs of the city, cannot be bought
with money. or induced to vote for
gamblers and thieves.

The Chicago Times, a leading organ
of the Democracy in the Northwest,
has suddenly abandoned Andy John
son and taken up negro suffrage as a
better cure than my policy for the
ills and woes of its party. The fol-
towing is Its argument in justi ication
of its course
I'm the frat place, we must cut
loose from the administration of And
rev johnson, and leave that hybrid
concern to float on the sea of public
contempt into which it some time
since entered, and from which no pow
er can rescue 1t. is not the late de-
feat attributable more largely to this
Administration than to all other
causes combined What is there Ia
its composition to command popular
confidence Who belonging to it is
entitled, by reason of his antecedents,
or of his craftsmanship, to the conf
dence or the respect of the Democrat
ic party ? Certainly it is not Andrew
johnson, nor William III. Seward, nor
Edwin NJ. Stanton. True, this ad
ministration had a right policy, but
the policy having failed, and having
failed, too, through the feebleness and
folly and offenses against public prop
erty of the administration, why should
not the Democratic party abandon ad-
hereuee to which is death
What next? !? Can the Democratic
party succeed until the negro question
shall be gotten out of the way +? 1t
cannot. What next Is not negro
suffrage inevitable and is it not the
quickest way to get the negro question
out of the way, to at once cOncede the
suffrage, making issue only to the de-
gree to which it shall be conceded ?
We know that many Democrats have
not reached this advanced view of the
case, and that such still feel greatly
inclined TO revolt at the proposition of

A law of the State, of New York re-
quires every voter to register his name
and residence a certain number of
days before the election. In New
York City there were no less than 49,
600 persons regularly registered who
could not be found at places given as
their residences on the day before the
late election. This is doubtless the
Democratic floating population which
furnishes the political stock in trade
of the Morrisseys and Woods.

AN INTELLIGENT COPPERHEAD.-
The so-called Democratic party, like
all other unrighteous organizations,
fourishes best where there is the great
est amount of ignorance and bigOtTy.
An example of this Is given by cor
respondent of the Jackson Standard,
who writes from Scott Town, Lawrence
county, Ohio. The writer says:
Permit me to relate a conversation l
had with one of the leading Democrats
of this place-an old man eighty-six
years old-smart and active, worth
twenty thousand dollars, and, as a mat
ter Of course, a very influential man.
This is no fction-it is an actual fact.
We were talking about Andy J ohnson.
I said I had stuck to him long after
most of his former friends had given
him up, but that for several reasons I
was compelled to drop him. What
are some your reasons ?'' asked the
old man. "Well, said I, zone reason
is, that after having the Freedmen's
Bureau bill read to him section by sec
ton, and expressing himself well sat
isfed with the provisions of the bill,
then, after the bill became a law, he
vetoed it." Here the old man inter
rupted me by saying, why, yoU'er
mistaken 4; for this man bureau is John
sons right hand man, and him and
Grant went around with the President
making speeches, when he went
through the country; so they tell
me- don't know it only as they tell
