On this second warning, DOnohue armed him

vgAT soUTBERY LolALhTS THINK.

The Southern Republican Association, Of which
Thomas j. Duraut is President Daniel II. Bingham
Secretary, and nearly every leading Unionst OF the
South member, has adopted series Of resolutions
and memorial, which have been presented to Con-
gress. The Reconstruction Committee, to which they
we're referred viii seriously consider tho principles
they affirm.
The resolutions claim that, after the surren-
der Of the Rebel States, their population
passed under the control Of the President
only in his character Of commanderin-chie and that
in this capacity he had the power TO control them and
maintain order until the will Of Congress could be
asserted, but no longer They declare that, in author
izing portion of the people to frame new Constitu'
tions the President ranscended his powers, and that
the Governments thus created are Illegal. Upon
these grounds Congress is called upon to set aside
these spurious organizations, and establish Others IN
which the following principles shall be embodied
Admission to the right Of suffrage and eligibility
to Office Of all loyal citizens Of the United States OF
whatever race or color they may be. Exclusion,
until relieved by Congress, from the right Of SUI.
frage, and from all offices Of honor trust or profit,
"whether under the Government Of the United States,
or any Territorial, State, municipal, or other au.
"thorty whatever, Of all persons who held Office
under the Confederate Government, or any State
power or authority proclaimed heretofore, by Con-
"gress or the Executive, in insunection against the
United States; whether said Office was military or
"civil or Of whatever nature IT may have been; and
"also of all persons who voted for the ordinances
"of Secession, OF who adhered to the Rebellion and
"gave it aid and comfort"
The memorial, in sustaining these positions, briefly
reviews the Rebellion the sufIerings Of the Union
men in the South, and tho effect of Mr.. Johnson's
policy. II shows that the men who began the Rebel
lion control the Southern States and fill all the
offices; that the worst Rebels have been chosen
presentatiyes in Congress- that the Civil Rights bill
is disregarded, Union men and Freedmen murdered,
as in New Orleans or socially and ciyy prescribed;
that the Constitutional Amendment has been defanty
rejected in short that Treason stands where It did in
1861, triumphant and Loyalty lies PROSTATE, as in
1863 Our views Of the policy now to be pursued do
not in ell respects agree with those above stated but
that does not prevent US from saying that this me-
mortal is entitled to respectful consideration, as COM
ing from men who are In position to know the
facts, and whose loyalty Is beyond suspicion.

We give in another column the history of our city

indifference to the interests Of the public, and extreme

pensiye legislation which will increase the tax levy,
even above that Of 1865, when $ls,2O3,S52 were
squeezed out Of the pockets of the people We might
care less for this heavy taxation were the
proceeds honestly administered, but it is doubly
oppressive when we know how many millions are

Victor Hugo has written, like Garibald letter of
sympathy with the cause Of the Cretan insurgents.
1t eloquent and stirring, is everything that comes
from Hugo's pen. lie sees in the future united
Greece with Athens and united Italy with Rome as
capital. The unanimous support which the chief
representatives of liberal opinions all over the world
give to the national aspirations of the Greeks in Can
dia and other Turkish dominons cannot fail to have
an irspriting influence upon both the insurgents and
the sympathizing Greeks, and thus to contribute to
their final triumph.

+ The report of the condition of the New-York hos.

as usual the receipts Of that valuable institution are
much less than the expenses. The Governors Of the
Hospital will probably again petition the Legislature
for grant asserting that in of its refusal they

patients, or to sell the hospital grounds, and
build new hospital uptown. We regret
that this charity which for seventy years
has aided the poor Of the city should itself suffer from
poverty. Yet we think that as the grounds
Of the hospital are valued at s2,5OO,OOO. their
