be said' in its defense than that it is modelled
after the Fugitive Slave law, it VIII certainly be
vetoed. This is a strange ground for approving
the bill TO come from Republican journals; and
besides, it is not true Tie Fugitive Slave law
was enacted to carry out plain provision of
the Constitut on. But where is the conshtu-
tlonal provision the CIVIL Rights bill is intended
to enforce?
Ono influential Republican journal saws that
when the States declined 10 execute justice be-
tween man and man in relation to fugitives, the
Federal Government irtervened. Yes; but not
between man aud man in the State of their resi-
dence; and here lies the whole burden of the
controversy. The constitutional provision which
the Fugitive Slave law undertook to enforce,
reated to persons "hed to service or labor in
one State. unoer the laws thereof, escaping into
another So long as master and slave remained
in the State OF their residence, the law had no
application; and hence the attempted analogy

A Disgraceful Spectacle.

From the Herald. ......
The Senate OF the United States which ought
to be body distinguished for its dignity and
high sense OF propriety, has for Secretary poll
teal demagogue who daily abuses the President
of the United States in the coarsest language.
This man, it is well known, is the editor Of or
controls, two newspapers-one in Washington
and one in Philadelphia. He makes these the
channels through which he vents his spleen
upon the chief OF the nation. This is sad conf
mentary on the times, and shows the demora-
liMng revolutionary spirit that is abroad, and
that has even penetrated the Senate. 1t is
step towards the orgies ot the Jacobin ConVen-
tion of France. The appointment of this man
to the respectable position OF Secretary of the
Senate, looking at his history, was remarkable,
and showed how low that great body had fallen
from its former high character. But il is posi-
lively disgTaceful Tor the Senate to retain him,
now that he is daily pouring out coarse abuse
upon the President. a decent respect from one
coordinate branch of the Government is due TO
another.
That is the way to make Government respect
able in the eyes Ot the people. But for the
Senate-that dignifled body Of the nation, which
is q part of the eXecutive' and holds q particular
relation TO the Presdent-to tolerate such con-
duct Is ineXcusabIe. The Senate, out of respect
TO itself as well as to the President, ought to dis
miss him at once. Nursed into political exist
ence by that weak and scheming old Copperhead
politician, Buchanan, whom he betrayed, he has
belonged to all parties, and Is ready to belong to
any party to serve his ends II is high time
such Northern demagoaues were squelched, as
the Southern ones have been. Let these North
ern Marplot politicians be put down, as their old
mischieyous companions of the South have been,
Al least let not the Senate OF the United States
keep this one the worst Of all, in the high office
he holds, If he will follow his mischieyous in
stincts and throw his venom upon the chiel o.
the nation, let not the Senate sanction it by any
| connection with him.

The King of Siam.

Letters from Singapore, dated on the goth of
January, announce the death of the second
KING OF Siam-Who;e name in full, was P'ra
Bart Somdet Pra Pawarendr Ramesr Mahis.
waresr P'Ta Pin Klau Chau Y Hua. He had been
in Ill health for five years. and in June last his
disease began to assume a dangerous form. His
remains were deposited in a golden urn, deco
rated with diamonds, and placed in a particular
throne, and after the usual period OF lying in
state, according TO the~Siamese custom, were
buried with great ceremony. The King
ascended the throne in 1851, his brother be-
coming "First King" Both were remarkable
men; noted preeminently above all the
moparchs OF the East for their attanments
and their love of progress. The enlightened
spirit which prevailed in their councils encour-
aged the introduction of the foreign clement
the development of internal resources, and the
use of modern inventions and the arts and letters
of the West. The second King, especially, showed
the llveliest interest in the great movements Of
the world, cherishng a love of European and
American literature, opening his palace freely 10
foreign visitors, cultiyating diplomatic relations
with the nations of the West, contributing papers
on scientific and political subjects to a little
journal called the Siam Times, printed at Bang
kok, halt in English and half in Siamese, and
subscribing for American newspapers and
periodicals. His death is a severe loss TO his
Aingdom.

lives, buys and sells, marries pracises his
religion, disposes of his affairs and estate and
is ptaceably buried, unless he incurs sp 'eder
death as the pensty for breaking them. When,
therefore, in the regulation OF her internal
police, or with aview to amendingpub morals
q State torbids certain business to be carried
on, her citizens are bound by the prohibition,
and 1t is beyond the powers OF the general
Government to set it aside. Still less can 1T
assume TO permit, under the color Of collecting
revenue, what 1t has no power to authorize:
Among subjects OF taxation which are allowed
to exist by State laws, the FEDERAL Government
may select such as it pleases for contribution
but it cannot, indirectly any more than directly,
originate such as do not exist against the eX-
pressed will of the State.
Consider the mischief that would follow from
the admission and extension OF such claim.
New York visits with severe punishment the
disturbance Of the 1epose OF the dead The
Government might reap revenue from the trade
of the resurreCtionists, and introduce II by The
fiction OF a license OHIO torbids usuriOu5 con-
tracts. The Government might open profitable
source of income by authorizing associations
Tor making loans on usury under the device OF a
license. None of the States allow public gaming
houses, and few OF them tolerate lotteries. But
under the convenient shelter of q license the
Government might erect and be enriched by
such establishments in contempt of the moral
sentiment OF States. In word, II the National
Government were permitted to extend its right
OF taxing its citizens so as TO enlarge its range
by creating or esiTnating the modes of business
in which they might engage, the sphere of
State citizenship would be wholly invaded by
usurped authority.
Arguments upon these grounds will doubtless
have their due weight IN the decision of the
case now before the Supreme Court. The
revenue syftem of the Government is already so
burdensome as to require all the vigilance OF its
officials TO prevent evasions. 1t would be un-
wise to increase the obstacles TO its successful
working by adding the hostility OF States to the
reluctance OF individuals, or to extend its scope
at the expense of settled constitutional prin-
ciples.

Has Congress ANY Policy?

The point has been made in support
of the President that while he has dis
tinctiyc policy looking to the early res
toration of the rebel States, Congress
has no well defined plan or purpose to
the same and but occupies the attitude
of captious obiector without any ulti-
matum OF the innumerable Constitu-
tional amendments proposed as the ba-
sis of reconstruction but one has passed
the House. We refer to what is known
as the Blaine amendment for the equali-
cation of representation according to
population except when suffrage is de-
MED or abridged on account of race or
color This amendment was reported
from the Reconstruction Committee and
passed the House by the requisite two
thirds vote. 1t has gone TO the Senate
and as viii be seen by our dispatches in
another column was under discussion
this (Tuesday) afternoon. The tele-
graph last night speculates upon the
probabilities of its defeat as follows:
1T is generally conceded here that
the Blaine amendment to the Constitu-
ton will be defeated in the Senate A
full Senate contains fifty members, and
twenty seven votes will kill the amend
ment, being more than one third. The
eleven Democratic Senators will unques-
tionable vote against it as will also, it is
alleged, the following named Senators :
Messrs. Sumner, OF Massachusetts Dix
on, of Connecticut, Morgan, of New
\ FORK; Cowan. of Pennsylvania Wiley
and van Wrinkle, of West Virginia :;
Henderson, of Missouri, and Stewart, of
Wisconsin, making nineteen in all.
This disposes OF the Blaine amend
ment and leaves Congress so far without
8 policy.
The other amendment known as Bing-
ham : Amendment, by which ''the rights
and privileges of the citizens of one
State should be secured by congressional
legislation in the several States was
literally slaughtered in the house of its
friends. 1t had been regularly reported
from the Star Chamber with the high
endorsement of the Graad Council Of
Tn, and after full and free discussion
1t was found that a majority, ample for
the THAI. Stevens raid, was powerless TO
unite upon the proposed measure, and it
was kicked under the table. there 10 re
