We publish today the proceedings of the
last days session Of Congress. twill be seen
that the Judiciary committee in the House
took occasion to rerannp the stale and absurd
charges against Jefferson Davis, and that the
patriotic members in positive violation OF the
Constitution, which forbids such a thing in
direct terms, voted to increase their pay for
the session from three to five thousand dol
hrs. This, however, is not to be wondered
at II would be strange if men who have VIC
lated the Constitution in every other conceiv-
able respect had stickled at still another viola
ton, which put two thousand dollars into the
pocket Of each member. Our readers, as well
as ourselves, will at least feel a sense Of relief
that this conyocaton Of bad men has at last
dissolved, and that we are to be free frem

THE LATE RIOTS,

If fair chance We're given to the ordinary
Judicial tribunals to investigate the origin OF
the late riots and the circumstances attending
| them, it would be clearly proved, not only that
the deluded followers of the conventlonlst re-
VOTERS were the immediate aggressors, but that
they were deliberately and nlaliciously ino1ted
to violence by their white leaders. The testi-
n,onv AZ to the outbreaks overwhelming that
If was precipitated by the negroes who at
tackled citizens in the street and then resisted
the police in their efforts to arrest the aggres-
so1s. But after ALL the question ''who fired
the first shot is unimportant in street riot
Ii is difficult almost impossible, to answer
such a question with certainty. Whether the
first shot was fred or the first blow was
struck on one side or the other side, by this
man or that man, is a point which cannot be
discussed when q riot is raging, when passions
are aroused, when men are arrayed against
each otherin deadly and unreasoning hostility.
The riot must be suppressed. The authorities
must act with promptitude, yigor and deter
mination, and then, when quiet is restored the
courts must try and punish those who are re-
sponsible for the outbreak
IN tnls case u IS an easy matter to 1lz the
Fesponslolllty' Inc whole proceeding Which

gaze attempt OF lew unprncpled political
adventures to seize on the State government
by e1tra-oonsntuhonai and e2tra-iegal MEANS
Totally without a constituency among the
loyal voters OF the State these men knew
that they had no possible chance OF success
except by stimulating the hopes Of the eredQ-
lous negroes, and exciting their passions to
the point OF resistance to the law, with the
expectation that military intervention would
turn the tide Of events in their favor. The

white emigrants, desirable and valuable exchange
could be effected The Peninsula is one OF the
garden spots of Virginia, and the farmers in that
section are despoled of everything they can raise
by the negro la2zaroni who have enngregated
around Hampton. Let the bureau continue this

Cause Of Radiealism at tue south.

The Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press, ('sOccasional," sketches the
course of the Southern rebels who seeded
from the Union, inaugurated war, confiscated
the property of their loyal neighbors, inflicted
all sorts of brutal indignities upon those who
opposed their reasonable course and remain
ed devoted to the old flag, and when beaten in
a game with their own weapons-efeetually
whipped out-they come back again, claiming
not only all the rights Of loyal men but even
more privileges than were ever enjoyed before
the rebellion. They demand in Maryland, IN
West Virgins, in Kentucky and Missouri, the
repeal Of all laws passed by those loyal States
to protect themselves against treason and
traitors, and claim to be Democrats and patri-
OTIS of the first water, who differ from others
only in that they have suffered and risk
ed more to secure to themselves and their
States the full benefits of liberty and inde-
pendence-iberty to enslave others; indepen-
dence of all the liabilities of treason. They
claim the same high-handed prerogatives that
they hoped to reach through success in arms,
and their Northern allies, who have sympa-
thized with them from the start, insist that
these claims shall be honored, and that they
shall be clothed with all needed power to over
ride, as they have for o score Of years, the
rights of those who, during the recent strug-
gle, have proved true to the flag, loyal to right,
and observant of the supreme law of the
land. In allusion to this state Of things, the
correspondent above referred to says: sisri .ai
Do you wonder, with these plain facts be-
fore you, that the tried friends of the Govern
ment in the South are radicals? Can you
wonder now that Winter Davis, so conscien-
tious in carrying out his principles to their
logical conclusions, followed the path OF duty
In the midst of frowns and threats, and that
he created party ready for any fate but sub
mission to treason? Do you wonder now that
Missouri sends to both Houses of Congress
such decided, uncompromising and determin-
ed representatives2 Do you wonder that the
loyalists of West Virginia stand side by side
with such men as Sumner, Stevens and Wade
For precisely as the sympathizing copperheads
and traitors came together before and during
the war, so do they coalesce now that the war
is over. Then there is but one course left for
the gallant population who have suffered frorn,
and contended against both; and that Is, to
retain all the barriers erected against the plots
of the traitors; and if they fail in this, to ap-
peal for protection to the Executive. Is it not
monstrous that the traitors who were defeated
and chastised by the Union arms should be
permitted to come back to their former homes,
there to renew the villainies that marked their
conduct before and during the war?
