The Next Move.

Governor Curtin has, with indecent
haste, issued circular to the Go
vernors of the Northern and Western
States, to assemble their respective
Legislatures in extra session, for the
purpose of ratifying the last constitu-
tional amendment of Thad. Stevens.
The so-called. Southern States are
ignored in this invitation, with per-
haps the exception of Tennessee.
which will be promised admission on
the condition of ratifying the amend
ment.
This move is 80 we'll arranged that
it must be the offspring of the brain
of the Head Centre himself. The
present Legislatures, mostly radical,
are to pass upon this outrageous
measure, and the voice of the people
entirely ignored. But this is of a
piece with all the shrewdness, Chi
chanery and rascality which thus far
have characterized the counsels and
the action of the radical party. But
this movement, cute as it appears to
be, betrays innate weakness, fear to
trust the people of their own States
IN the decision of this important
question. Their record for the past
seven months has been so blurred
and daubed, that they dare not 20
before their own constituents with it's
soiled pages in their hands.
As to this fresh insult to tue South
eru States, it is useless to descant
upon it. They are powerless to do
anything; the Constitution to which
they were accustomed in times gone
by to turn to, as their shield and
protection, is dead letter, and daily
perverted to the base uses and pur-
poses of the majority in Congress.
That document says no State, without
its consent, shall be deprived of it's
equal suffrage in the Senate; but
what care Thad. Stevens and his fol-
lowers for that? True, they swore to
support that Constitution, but the
higher law under which they act alb
solves them from the minor sin of
perjury.

Must be Signed.

A telegram says that the Secretary
of State positively refuses to send to
the Governors OF Legislatures of the
States the proposed amendment to
the Constitution for ratification,
without the signature and approval
of the President.
Referring to the Constitution of
the United States, Article 1, Section
7, we find these words:
every order, resolution or vote,
to which the concurrence of the Sc
nate and House of Representatives
may be necessary, Except on q ques-
ton of adjournment,) shall be pre-
sented to the President of the United
States, and before the same shall take
effect, shall be approved by him, or,
being disapproved by him, shall be
repassed by two-thirds Of the Senate
and House Of Representatives., ac-
cording to the rules and limitations
prescribed in the case of a bill"
This is clear enough, and certainly
justifies Mr.. Seward in his reported
refusal to forward the measure Just
adopted to the State Governments.
The great amendment to the Consti-
tuition, abolishing slavery, passed on
the last day of January, 1865, went
through the regular course of legisla-
ton in both houses, was sent to the
President, and by him returned ap-
proved. It was afterwards submitted
to the States and ratified. This is Il
similar measure, but the radicals are
afraid of Andrew johnson and the
unanswerable arguments he would use
in vetoing it, and therefore it is pro-
posed to order the officers of both
houses to forward it to the respective
States.
Such thimble-rigging, we think,
was never witnessed in any Legislative
body before. ignoring number of
States-ignoring the right of the peo-
pie in every State to be heard on the
subject-ignoring n plain provision of
the Constitution-they are driving
their measures through at a break
neck pace, but may find, after all
their contempt for every other branch
of the Government, the Supreme
Court, and the United States District
Courts throughout the country, will
be an obstacle they will not overcome
so easily.

Prison Life i'm a Republtc.

The revelations made by Surgeon
Craven in relation to the treatment of
MIR. Davis in Fortress Monroe, will
startle, If not astound, the civilized
world. That such treatment will re-
celve the .censure and condemnation
OF every friend of humanity, whe-
ther In America or elsewhere, cannot
be doubted.
The scene descriptive of the fet-
terlng OF the distinguished prisoner
Is one that will touch the hearts of
all who are not thirsting for his blood.
Feeble as he was, surrounded by a
powerful guard, in the strongest for
tress of America, there can be no
shadow of excuse for such an order
TO have been issued as to manacle this
invalid captive. 1t was not for him
self, but for: the country, that he gave
vent to the agonized cry, ooh, the
shame, the shame" He had, few
minutes before, told the officials. who
were carrying out their orders from
Washington, that the war was over,
the South conquered, and that he
had mo longer any country but Ame
r1ca," and requested his keepers to
Kill him rather than inflict that insult
which to him "was worse than
death"
Throughout the whole of this hu-
muhating proceeding. the conduct of
Jefferson Davis-the man WHO, for
four years, had enjoyed the love and
confidence of the people of eleven
States-win command the admiration
OF both friend and foe. The moment
ary impulse to resist what he consi-
dered an unwarranted and uncalled-
for indignity, soon passed, and left the
same grave, calm and oble demeanor
which always characterized him in
the field and in the Cabinet.
We have no heart to dwell upon
this first chapter of Dr. Cravens re-
veiations. The New York World has
done the country good service in
publishing SO freely from this expo
sltlon, which has given it, through
the papers, North and South, a more
extensive circulation .han the book
could have attained. The simple
reading Of the scene narrated in tb;s
opening chapter, will have more effect
than any heightened comment, yio-
lent denunciation or pathetic re-
proaches, be they ever so eloquent
could possibly have.

The advices recently from Liver
pool say, that during the four months
ending May l, the Southern States
of America have furnished fully
one-half of the cotton imported
itno England from all countries. This
is significant fact, inasmuch that
every bale of cotton exported is equal
to so much specie, and therefore to
the extent of its value prevents the
immense exhaustion of the precious
metal from this side, which, notwith-
standing the large expectation of cot
ton, has amounted within month to
over $41, 100000.
And yet this is the great and 60
verning staple the factious majority
in Congress wish to clog and fetter,
both i'll its production and exporta-
ton, by retaliatory tax We say
a'etdlialoTy, for no business interest
i'll the country requires such tax,
and it is only imposed to crafty the
malice and spite Of the radicals, and,
if possible, to punish the South still
further than she has already suffered.
