STATUS OF THR SOUTHERN STATES.

The three distinct theories most prominent
in public credence relative TO the present status
of the States lately in rebellion, are, briefly,
as follows: -..t,
First, that those States destroyed and forfeit
ed their State relation by the act Of rebellion
thus becoming virtually Territories, to be leg
islated for, and received into the Union, in the
same manner and on the same conditions as Ter
ritories. This is substantially the theory late
ly argued by Thsdeus Stevens in Congress
Second, that rebellion impaired the functions
of the States only during the actual struggle
that the suppression of the insurrection COM
pletely restored the vitality of those functions,
aud consequently the recusant States return
to their old places in the Union without the as
sistauce or intervention of Congress or the EK-
ecusive. This is the view commonly promulged
by the democratic leaders. ., 8
The third and more general theory upon the
subject insists that secession is constitutional
impossibility, and the revolving States therefore
never ceased TO be essential parts of the Union;
but that their functions are suspended by their
own act of insurrection and treason, and they
cannot rightfully demand perfect restoration in
the Union until proper safeguards have been
provided against recurrence of the crime and
calamity of which their citizens, in their mu-
nicipal and individual capacity, have been
guilty. This is substantially, as we understand
il. the opinion of President johnson and the
Union majority in Congress.
What safeguards precisely are necessary to
insure the country against future strife and re-
bellion, is question on which there is room for
many shades of difference. The subject is GER
tainly fraught with consequences too grave 10
Justify precipitate and unrehective action
The evident temper of Congress, however, war
rants full confidence that it will deal prudenily
and Justly with the mouentous issue, and we
believe the President to be in full accord with
its spirit and ultimate purposes. Let US coun-
tenance no divisions, but with msgnanimity and
patience hold steadily in view restoration
based upon righteous and enduring foundation.

CITADEL, Marcn Il, IOoO.
The Commission met at 1890, A. NJ,
and continued the trial of James Craw-
Keys, his son, Robert Keys, and Elisha
Byrem.
The Judge Advocate stated that he re-
ceived ipformation-from the Counsel for
the accused, and from other sources, that
one of the horses of the soldiers murder
ed at Browns Ferry, on the Sth of Octo-
Der last, had beer. found in Anderson or
Pickens District. An arrest of the per-
son, in whose possession it was found,
had been made. No such information
has yet officially been. communicated to
the military authorities in Charleston, al
though reply has been received from
Gen. Ames to a tclegraphic dispatch ma
king an inquiry as to such rumorcd fact.
He further stated that he did not wish
to delay the case, but at the same time
deemed it proper to say that evidence
may be elected, in the event of such in
formation proving true, which it would
be important to introduce in this case.
That, if no serious objections existed, he
would prefer to suspend the prosecution,
permitting the defence to introduce such
testimony as they may deem proper to
submit, before the final close of the pros
ecution, and renew the prosecution as
soon as the result of the Investigation in
to the matter can be known.
On motion, and in order to allow the
Judge Advocate opportunity to obtain
further information in the matter referred
to, the Commission adjourned to meet on
Wednesday, the 14th inst, at 1870, A. NJ.
