MONTGOMERY BLAIR.-This turbulent poll
tician, during the war occupying position
in Lincoln's Cabinet, professedly a Union
man, but still a warm friend of Little
Mac" and always playing into the hands of
them conservative chaps" so well described
by Orpheus C. Kerr, is now the leading man
of the johnson party, select few from
which, styled as National Committee, have
enunciated platform, the whole gist of
which is embodied in the few last lines tele-
graphed:
1t is obvious from the course of Congress
that it means to maintain its power in the
Government, its tyranny over the South by
the abuse to which the African population is
to be converted. Congress is now. revou-
tionarv Convention. The President in bis
22d of February speech adopts the motto .
stand to-day prepared, as far as | can, to
resist these encroachments upon the Constl-
tuition and Government"
Strange, is it not. that Congress, the direct
representatives of the people, should have the
assurance to claim a right in the Govern
ment, sustained by no other authority than
the Constitution and the will of the people?

SWEET REvENGE.-Senator Cowan, OF
Pennsylvania. is revenging himself upon the
Radicals by having their supporters IN his
State turned out of office, and soldiers of the
war appointed in their stead Though we
believe Cowan radically wrong in his sup
port of the Presidents policy, and in the
feeling that governs him in thus seeking re-
venge, yet we endorse the act because good
arises therefrom. We favor the policy that
gives place to men who have proved their
love OF country by fighting for it at the peril
of life and limb, instead of to the lazy wire
working politicians who staid behind to
catch the spoils. We are content to entrust
the affairs of the government in the hands of
those who fought to preserve it.

FIsH.-Last week we noticed the little
matter of Hol. Taylor catching a nine foot
sturgeon. Gooch noticed it too. and being
at Dog Greek at the time, he just went down
mento, and hooked one out of lot that was
cavortng around there, and brought him
down here in his wagon. We measured that
fish. 1t was ten feet plump. Gooch says
he supposes he could have done great deal
better if he had tried.

mont, and to live in pes and unity with the peo-
pie OF the loyal States, extending to all classes
republican idea OF liberty and equality They
should exhibit in their acts something moro than
an unwilling submission-a feeling, il not cheer
full certainly not offensive and defiant; and they
should evinco utter reputation OF all hostility
to the General Government by an acceptance of
such just and reasonable conditions that gov
ernment should think the public safety demands.
Has this been done: Lot us look at tho facts
shown by tho evidence tskon by the Committee.
And tho "facts" 'lookcd att great sa-
tirist onco said: "Nothing is more unreliable than
facts, except iiguros." It is unnecessary for us
here again to advert to the manner in which these
"facts' were obtained; nor need wo alludo to the
jaundiced gassos through which the Committee
afterwards examined and cola; ed them, in the
preparation Of their Report. These "facts,"
familiar to us all. And we need, therefore, not be
| surprised at the conclusion:
With such evidence before them, it is the opn-
ion of your Commtteo
l. That tho States lately in rebellion woro, Mt
the close of tho war, disorganiZod communities,
without civil government, and without constitu-
tions other forms by virtue of which political
relations could legally exist between them and tho
Federal Government.
II. That Congress cannot be expected to recog-
| nize valid tho election OF men from dsorganzed
| communities, which, from the very natnre Of the
case, were unable to present their claim to repre-
sentation under those established and recognized
! required. =.
III. That Congress would not be justified in
admitting such communities to participation in
| the government OF tho country without first pro-
viding such constitutional or other guarantees as
will tend to secure the civil rights of all citizens
OF the republic, just equality Of representation,
protection against claims founded in rebellion
and crime, and at least temporary restriction OF
the right Of suffrage to those who have not ac-
lively participated in the effurt to destroy the
| Union, and tho exclusion from positions OF public
| trust of at least portion of those whose crimes
have proved them enemies of tho Union and un-
worthy of public confidence"
Now, after tho Directory had delivered itself
of these three propositions, ono would have
supp sed thoy ought to have been satisfied to
rest their case. Not so. They evidently have nc
great confidence in the Inherent strength of their
argument. They next enter elaborate plea
showing why these States arc not entitled to i'm
mediate representation in Congress. To make
out this case, they scall attention to few undis
puted and notorious facts and the principles o
public law applicable thereto" But we have tres
passed already sufficiently on the patience of ou,
readers, aud shall follow Committee and Report
no further. TIE pursuit were bo otless and alto
gether Improbable.
