POlitleal condition of the country.
THE QUESTION OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ING LET
TER FROM a REPUBLICAN JUDGE.


TER FROM A REPUBLICAN JUDGE.
Judge H. L. Comstock, of Wyoming county, n
Y, who has been prominent and influential Re-
publican, has published letter on the political
| condition Of the country He says the question
to be decided is, whether the Union is saved or de-
stroyed The Congressional Joint Committee vir-
tualy tells US that it ia destroyed and that amend.
mens to the Constitution to be ratified by each of
the States lately in rebellion, are necessary to its
restoration 1t is, he says, absurd to suppose that
| it can ever be restored on such terms. If this
policy prevails the Union is destroyed, The effect
of adopting the report Of the committee will be to
unite the South and divide the North,
The Union party can never stand together on
such platform, and whoever believes it can must
be very ignorant of the signs of the times, The
States lately in rebellion will become more and
more disafeeted, and if held at ALL must be held
as subject provinces by military force. Nothing
but absolute necessity should lead to the adoption
of such policy and it will be difficult to convince
the world that such necessity exists when there
is not an armed rebel in the land, nor the slightest
reason to fear another rebellion, unless portion
of the people are denied their rights. Loyal mem
bers ought to be allowed to take their seats, and
Congress cannot deny the right of representation
to any portion OF the people without violating the
Constitution and dissolvng the Union. Either
these States are not in the Union, else they are
entitled to representation. There can be no middle
ground To say that they are out Of the Union is
to say that the war failed in its object else to
give the lie 10 every thing we sai0 as TO Wnab tnaI
object was while the war was going on.
The report of the committee, moreover, treats
these States within the Union, by calling on them
to ratify an amendment to the Constitution, which
they could not do if they were cut of it. If Con-
gress had admitted these members who were loyal,
and rejected only those who were dsloyal, then
we should have Union and peace, and the loyal
sentiment of the South would have been encour-
aged but when both loyal and disloyalare treated
alike, nothing but harm can ensue. The questions
forced upon our attention are of the gravest
character. They touch the fundamental principles
Of the government. The policy which treats the
Union az having been preserved by the war, and
the States entitled to all their rights under the
Constitution is the only one that can restore peace
andprosperity to the country. We ought to re-
joios 10 see the Southern States and the Southern
| peoPie renewing their allegiance, and sending
loya men TO the councils of the nation.

From the NATION
The hall is rather sombre, daylight
struggling in drearily from the top; but even the
light of dull day makes the gliding glare pain
fully He observes the two little flags over the
Speakers head and has taken his seat before per
ceiying that man is on his legs, behind one of
those little gingerbread desks, harranguing the
House. He cannot hear word he says, partly
because the man does not talk loud enough, but
chiefly because no one is paying any attent ION 10
him, But few members are IN their seats, ana
these are busy writing an exercise which they
vary with another that somewhat amazes our
friend
He tries vainly, and would like to catch word
or two of o speech that seems to elicit such terri
BILE applause. The members are constantly clap
ping their hands with great but not prolonged en-
ergy, at which little hobgobbln pages spring
about running as if to relieve each surcharged
member of his enthusiasm; and our friend gradu
ally discovers that the hand Glapping is not ap
plause, but mode of summoning the page,
He gazes in bewilderment on the Babel before
him. The man is reading his speech, and does so
from printed copy as if he were paid by the line
for it, The pages skip about The members clap
their hands. People come in and look at the show
with stoical apathy, and then go out again. The
man finishes his reading and sits down. Another
man gets up and commences the same perform
ance.
The members 60 out until not over q dozen Of
them are left. The man Is reading his speech
He does not do it very glibly; he does not do it
as if he expected to gain anything by it. Some
humane friend comes to his rescue with motion ;
by parliamentary fiction the speech is considered
delivered, and printed with the proceedings, and
as many copies as the orator likes to pay for may
be stuffed into the glory of a buff envelope and
franked to wondering constituency in his =" dis
trict"
1t may be a necessity in the economy of the
great parliamentary whale that it come up to the
surface and blow off, and then go down again.s If
it could be entirely restricted to the Saturdays it
would be better; one day in six is, after all, not
great deal to devote to parliamentary nonsense.
Making a speech is considered the destiny of our
politicians. The member who should not succeed
in going through the operation just described at
least once in each session, and ranking home
many thousand dirty looking little pamphlets as
evidence, would be considered an utter failure
fraud upon the public. 1t makes no difference that
he has nothing to say. 1t maks still less that no
one wants to listen to him. At the close of his
eatechism 4 some leader Of the House may be
kind enough to shake him by the hand, and con
graduate him on his speech but even the most
yerdant member is not unsophisticated enough to
believe that it had any effect on anybody. It is
very broad farce, and very shallow one. Each
Saturday gets rid of half dozen of these orators

From the New York Times May 81
About ~ O'Clock last night flames were diseov-
cred in the kitchen attached to the restaurant be-
longing to the Academy of Music When discoy.
cred the flames had gained such Roadway that
their further progress could not be arrested, and
ia few minutes they spred to the auditorium of
the opera house, aud so on to the stage
When our reporter first arrived on the scene a
dense and suhocating volume of smoke filled the
vast interior Of the building so binding that the
hremen could not gain permanent footing on the
stage, and were soon compelled to fail back. Dis
trict Engineer Bates gave the order for those in
side to leave, and nearly all succeeded in doing So
except Daniel Waters, foreman of Metropolitan
Engine Company No. 5, and private Welsh, of the
same company. When last seen sheet Of fame
barred their exit and as they were missing up to
1870 o'clock this morning, it is supposed that they
persisted in the flames.
BY 1890 the flames had gained such Roadway

Eleven MILLIONS for. Negro Pnupers.


The bogus affair that calls itself a Congress has
just voted eleven millions for Niger Bureau"
to establish schools and support niger paupers in
the South Just think-the negroes of the South
produced some three hundred millions of surplus
or real wealth, nearly all of which was finally Sc
cured to the people of the North, who built their
Fifth Avenue palaces and yoluptious churches on
this result of slavery" and in 1860 there was not
one single pauper among all these four millions of
negroes. Now, this labor and all this mighty pro-
duction of wealth is abolished for the time being;
absolutely as if the negro himself was stricken
out of existence and the Northern laborng classes
are loaded down with a debt of three thousand
millions to accomplish the stupendOus crime.
Counting in the negresses of the South, who pro.
duced as much cotton as the males, perhaps the
producing forces of the two sections were about
equal therefore, it comes to this; not only is the
labor of the negro lost to the whole country, but
every labOring man in the North must, hereafter,
give very considerable portion of each days
toll to destroy the former.
The emigrant, the Irishman, the farmer,
the mechanic, every man who adds to the
production Of the country must first give up a
portion of each days toll to pay the interest on
the debt contracted to ''abolisan the labor Of the
negro in the South, and what is left he may spend
on his wife and children If his children have not
quite enough to fill their bellies or to cover their
nakedness, why The can only reply to them "Be
patient, for though you suffer for food and cloth
ing, and am giving my sweat and very life-blood,
and will doubtless die in the amshouse it is in the
glorious cause of emancipating negroes from
labor" But since this unapproachable crime
of abolition, the negroes are not only lost to pro
duotion, but Northern labOrs are to be taxed
eleven millions more to support negro paupers
Well why not? Since their hand is in, why not
complete the job Why not, indeed, bring the
negroes North and save the expense of sending
agents in the remote South to look after them
Why not indeed, give every negro q white
labOrer to work for him hereafter? 1t would
simplify the matter nightly and be the same thing
in fact.

We have referred at length to this case of Gro
zier's because it throws light upon the course
pursued by post commanders and petty officers in
the interior Of the Southern States and will serve
the continuance of the military occupation and
the suspension of the habeas corpus. As for Gen.
Devens, who is gentleman, which is more than
can be said of his defamers he will survive these
attacks upon his loyalty; and the time will come
when his action in the Trowbridge case will be re-
garded, even in Boston, the only redeeming fea-
ture of transaction otherwise most foul and dis
gracefully. Y News
