Mr.. Blair does not seem to have fright
ened Boston by his threat of new civil
war. In reply to his assertion that the
South would not endure exclusion, THE
Journal energetically "begs leave to tell
him" that it is too late to crack the plant
alton whip at the North; thst the South
had to submit, that It does submit, and
that it will be ground into the earth if it
attempts to rebel again. Mr.. Blair will
discover in due time that the day for bull
lying the Free States has gone past never
to return.

Ma-The NeaO York Times, in its new
loye,makes use of some very queer language,
for instance:
at is not necessary to adopt any mea-
sures to demonstrate the unanimty OF the
southern people in support Of the admins
tration policy of restoration as opposed to
the Congressional policy ofreconstucuon.
No one doubts that the Rebels are in
favor of Andy Johnson's policy. 1t IS the
best reason in the world why loyal men
should oppose it.
1t is always good policy to study first
what your enemies would have You do, and
then do tie opposite Mr.. Raymond pro
poses to reverse the maxim.
A few reasons why "lIy Policy should
not be adopted. simply to please the rebels,
are suggested. The southern people went
into rebellion voluntarily. It, at least, was
not forced upon them. The Constitution
of the United States defines the acts com
mitted by them to be reasonable. Treason
is penal offence. Punishment is never
inflicted by the criminals, but by those

"SIGNS OF THE TlMES.r

The following editorial from the New
York Herald is among the many signIhi-
cant "signs of the times"
THE RECENT AND THE COMING ELECTIONS
THE PROSPECTS.
1t is an historical axiom that revolutions
never 90 backward. It's truth has been
affirmed IN the great political events of this
country since the adjournment Of Congress,
and especially in the recent state elections.
1t was reasonable to suppose that the Jaco-
binical violence, recklessness, and ferocity
of such political reformerS as Ben. Butler
in the east, Senator Chandler in the West,
and Parson Brownlow in the South, would
have a damaging effect upon their party
when brought to judgment before the peo-
pie; but it is strikinly apparent from the
result of the recent elections in Maine that
the popular mind is controlled by larger
questions, against which tie sayings or do
ings of this or that fanatical politician 90
for nothing. Tha great body of the Amer
lean people to which we are indebted for
the suppression of the most formidable re-
beIIion in the history of mankind are eYi-
IDENTIFY determined to have substantial Sc
curities for the future before they pronounce
the good work of the restoration of the
Union complete-that, il short, Southern
reconstruction shall rest upon the solid
foundation of the Federal Constitution, re-
gardless of the disturbing forces of radicals,
copperheads, rebels, rufians, or fanatics,
North or South.
From the elections which have occurred
since the constitutional amendment was
adopted by Congress for the reconstruction
of the Southern States, we are satisfied that
the amendment is to become the basis OF
southern restoratioD-that it Will carry and
be carried by all the Northern State cleo
tions yet to come, and that, with New Jcr-
sey leading off, it will be ratified by them
all, AMI become part and parcel Of the su-
preme law Of the land. Nor have we any
fear Of the consequences. There Is nothing,
after all 80 very Objectionable in this ameDd-
ment-nothing which President Johnson
himself has not, at one time or another, re
commended to some southern State or 20
Congress, and nothing upon which there
should have been a disagreement between
the President and Congress. Let US for a
moment look at this amendment again. 1t
is as follows and is called the

The " y. Times thus speaks Of the
vote of Congress increasing the pay Of its
Members:
"The extra $4,000 was needed to secure
their reelection. Each Member has that
sum ertra, to be devoted to this specific
purpose. The Radical Members are thus
put in possession of grand corruption
fund, amounting to something over $780,
OOO,' ''among the membeFs-nearly every
one of whom is to be a candidate for re-
election. 1t was proclasmed before the
session closed that Congress must be Sus-
tanned by the reelection of its present
members 1t is now clear that this in
crease of pay was one of the practical
measures by which this result is to be
brought about
ALI which imPeIs us to ask:
/. Has the Editor of The Times taken
''the extra $4,000"
2. Does he or does he not presume that
he will need it to secure his reelection?
8. Dare he let his readers know that the
proposition to increase the pay of Congress
was moved in the House by Mr.. NiIbIack
of Ind, and in the Senate by Mr.. Riddle
of DeI-two bitter Copperheads?
4. Dare he let them know that, while a
large majority of the Democrats in the
House voted for the increase, a majority
of the Republicans voted against it?
5. What did he do, or try to do, to pre-
vent this increase Of pay2
6. What Democrats, if any, have refused
the extra pay6

The Maine Victory.

The moral effect Of this victory is really
astonishing. 1t has carried terror and in
many eases despair, into the conservative
ranks. Some seek shallow excuses to pal
late their rout, others own indeed it was
terrible defeat, but are willing to continue
the fight. The New York Herald, a spe-
cial pet of Andrew Johnson, but withaI a
competent Judge of the wishes of the pop
uIar heart hangs out the white flag, AMI
surrenders at discretion. 1t is in simple
despair. 1t says;
And so we find the generous and ac
ceptable restoration policy Of the President
turned into contempt by squads ofsouthern
vagabonds here and there, playing into the
hands Of northern radicals ind fanatics, in
such scenes of lawlessness and bloody vio-
lence as those of Memphis and New Or
leans. Such ghastly scenes Of disorder are,
we are satisfied, as revolving to the masses
Of the southern people as to the people OF
the North; but in the stubborn fact that
such scenes are enacted in southern cities,
agjtA the conniUance Of the local autbor-
ties, and that the guilty parties escape
without punishment, the northern mind is
naturally drawn to the conclusion that Pres
/ ident Johnson's magnanimity is thrown
away, and that the intractabIe spirit of the
rebellion still prevails throughout the south
If the moral effects, therefore, shall be
the triumph of the stringent radical party
Of exclusion, against the Presidents gener-
Gus and corciIiatory policy Of southern re-
/ storation, the southern people may charge
/ it to those vicious and rebeIlious elements
among themselves which southern political
leaders have permitted to be used by north
ern radical agitators for their party pur-
poses.
Whatever may have been the causes,
! however, operating to bring about the eX
traordinary results Of this Maine election,
! 1t IS too dec1siUe against the Democracy
and Conservatives to be confined to the
State Of Maine. We apPreheod that, as
IN aU our political contests ofhe past Of
/ q national character, tie result IN Maine
jndicaies the general drqtt of the elections
coming after Il throughout the Northern
/ States. THE prospect n0a0 Of q Conser-
goti0e majority IN the aezt Congress IS
very dou5tui; the prospect Of another

Dearcd at any time since December last.

THE Kissing AFFAIR.-The atrocious in
suit offered to the national flag, the portrait
of Washington, and national air by a num-
Der of rebels at the old theatre on Saturday
night has excited deep indignation among
the most moderate Union men, as well as
among the more ultra ones. Several gentle
men have declared that they were done with
conservatism after that display of disloyalty.
A stern policy is the only one to employ in
dealing with the rabid haters of the govern
ment and all its honored insignia, symbols,
and embleIns. We assure the persons en-
gagged in the kissing business that the Amer
lean people are determined that every man
who lives under the United States flag shall
either love it or fear it. If they have not the
good sense to love it, the soldiers who put
down the rebellion have the power to make
them dread it. God forbid that ever an in
vading army should enter our territory again,
but it will if necessary to crush out the hiss

From Fortress Monroe.

FORT MONROE, May 6.-The revenue cutter
Northerner, with Secretary McCulloch and
family, arrived here this morning on short
visit here and to Norfolk. They retired to
Washington this afternoon.
1t is confidently stated here that the visit
of Mrs. Jefferson Davis to this place promises
to be of long duration. During yesterday
Major General Miles, acting. under instruc-
tions from Washington, directed Lieutenant
McElrath, the post quatermaster, to turn
over for her accommodation one of the case
mates of the Fortress. 1t is understood that
Mrs. Davis applied for a room in Carroll Hall,
where her husband is confined, but was re-
fused by General Miles. The conditions of
the visit of Mrs. Davis, which were made
known shortly after she arrived here, permit
her to have free intercourse with her husband
during all hours of the day, and strictlNkn-
join upon her to use no ilIseaa measI So at

The Sentinel sneers at the best govern
ment in the world" and says it has strip
ped" our people, and made them the poorest
of any people on EARTH This is not So
Our people have been stripped, impoverish-
ed, and ruined by the secessionists and their
latter-day war allies like the Editors of the
Sentinel. We tried to prevent this. We
called on the State to resist Mr.. Davis and
force Il peace, which would have prevented a
vast deal of the suffering. loss, and calamity
which have ovcrtaken us; but we were not
regarded, save as a traitor to the Conteder-
ate cause. The counsel of others was taken.
and the result is known. The Sentinel will
not be permitted to falsiiy history by charg-
ing that the federal government is the prime
cause of our ruin. Up to the moment when
the cotton States made the fatal plunge, the
South had known the government only il
benefits and blessings, and so far as the gov
eminent was concerned, it had made nc
threat even against the South. 1t was seces
sion that ruined us.
We know it is unpopular at this time, IL
this quarter, to write these things and pub,
lish them, but we intend to maintain til,
truth without regard to consequences.

Our neighbors of the Sentinel appear to be
distressed at the idea that something may be
done, somehow or other, to prohibit them
from voting. If "the Confederacy" had
succeeded Union men would have been pro-
scribed, their property confscated and unless
they had begged pardon on their knees or
fled the country, they would have been MUIR
dered. Our amiable neighbors would have
said amen, especially to the latter. Do our
neighbors really think they ought to be
allowed to vote, in the Union, under the
stars and stripes, side by side with loyal
Union men2 Let them catch their breath
and say really, before they answer. No
swearing allowed in school.
