The Question Between Congress
and the President.

The question between the Presi-
dent. and Congress is more one
of the power to name conditions up
on which the lately insurgent States
may resume their Federal rights
than one of the actual status Of the
States themselves. Whether in or
out of the Union by their act of Sc
cesslon and war, the President acted
upon the assumption that their re
latons were so changed that he
could impose conditions that it
would have been impertinent TO de-
mand of the States adhering to the
Union. There seems to be no dis
position on the part of Republicans
or Democrats to question his pro-
ceedings so far. as they went The
fact is that he exacted terms OF the
States as precedent to their release
from military control, and their re-
turn to civil rule.
So far then as the right TO name
conditions is concerned, it appears
to be conceded on all hands. Is it
invested solely in the PresidentE Ii
can be shown by his proclamations
and letters relating to civil reorgani-
cation in these States, that he did
not in the summer of 1865 so regard
it. The Provisional Governors and
Conventions were told that they
must wait the assembling Of Con-
gress before the work could be com
pIeted, and it was the President
himself who declared his policy
simply as an experiment implying
that if it was not found to answer
the desired end it might be set
aside and the whole work be begun
again de moro. rhe assumption that
he alone is authorized to name the
terms and make the coalitions upon
which these States may resume their
places in the Union is dogma of
later growth, encouraged by every
rebel and secessionist in the land
who feard Congress might not be SO
generous in its dealings. and there
fore seek to evsde its action by de-
nying to it the power to act
There is no need, therefore, to go
into any learned and abstract dis
cussion on the question of the rela-
ton of these States. The fact is
that they we're so affected by their

He Favors the Emigration of
Negroes to 0hio-His Vote on
the Black Law.
lFrom Portsmouth Trihuns.l !


The leading copperhead politi-
clans are endeavoring to persuade
the people that the question of Ne
gro suffrage is in issue, and one OF
the questions to be determined by
the coming election. They have
placed at the head of their ticket Mr.
o. +. Moore, as the white man. S
champion, and the most suitable
exponent of the views and principles
of their party IN opposition to ''nig-
gers" Mr.. Moore accepts the situ-
ation," and devotes large portion
of his addresses from the stump to
the African, always expressing great
fear and lamentation at the imminent
danger of Sambo superceding the
white race, and becoming the gov
erning power of the country. OF
course we ignore all such questions
and issues, as there is nothing of the
kind involved in the present cam
paign. But inasmuch as the copper
heads are determined to force. the
people into the belief that it is one
OF the questions to be settled in Oc-
teber, we propose to show that their
leader, Mr.. Moore, has done more to
encourage negro emigration than any
other man Jlolc ruRRiRg upon either tiek-
a. ...H -
Our readers who have heard Mr..
Moore make stump speeches this
campaign, know how fercely he
charges the Republicans with en-
deavoring to elevate the negroes and
remove all restrictions from them
He pictures, in graphic colors, the
deplorable consequences that will
result from this policy in case the
Republicans succeed. He tells us,
with tears in his eyes; that, if the
Republicans get the power, Ohio
will be flooded with ''niggers," like
a saucer of molasses in fiy-time.-|
Why, we listened to Linn the other
night at the Lower Morket house,
while he harped on his ebony key,
till we imagined we saw q young
darkey hanging on every meat hook,
and we really began to wonder if the
''culled pussons" had not already
taken the country. We resolved to
60 to work and investigate the ques-
ton, and see, if possible, who had
voted for measures to induce the
darkeys to come to Ohio who arc
here. We recollected some
thing about the repeal OF the ''Biaek
LaDs;" and forthwith we bounded to |
the garnet and fished out Of an old |
barrel of books and documents per
tanning to the Legislature of Ohio
Among others, we found the House
Journal of the Ohio Legislature fer
the winter of lS50-51. There we
found certain act-a portion of the
Black Lalrs"-''regulating black
and mulato persons" passed in 1907 |
had been repealed in 1919. The bill |
was now February, 1851, before
The House to revive this portion Of
the ''Blaek Laps." BY reference to
the Statutes of 1907, we found this
act to be as follows:

E- The Frankfort Yeoman is not
particularly pleased to hear that
Gen. Stephen G.. Barbridge has been
appointed Lieutenant Colonel in the
Regular Army ''No greater insult, f"
says the Yeeman, ''could be offered
to the people Of Kentucky. If there
be one man more oGious than all
others to the people of this State,
that man is Stephen G.. Burbridge.-
They are equally ashamed of Holt
and despise him, but they hate Bur
bridge with an intensity which no
words can adequately express"
The editor of the Yeomon, con-
sidering where he was in the war
for the Union, and on which side he
fought, is not afflicted with over
much modesty when he comes to
speak for the people of Kentucky
1t IS only by the magnanimity of
those who stood by the side of Bur-
bridge and held Kentucky fast in the
Union, while the Ursa Major of the
Yeoman was tugging to take her
out, that he is new permitted to
speak at all. 1t would be q sorry
day for the country when this rene
gade Kentucky editors recommeu-
dations promoted any man in the
opinion and favor of the Admins
tration. The best card for the Lieu
tenant. Colonelcy that Burbridge
could have, is the hatred OF just
such men.-Cin. Com.

The Pittsburg Convention
Great Crowd and Great En-

CITIZENS KEEP OPEN HOUSES.

lrelegraphic Correspondence Gin. Commercial |
PITTSBURGH, Sept. "a.
The city is full and running over;
the hotels are crowded and the
boarding houses are jammed. River
steamboats, have been brought into
requisition. and are accommodating
as many as they can, but it is difficult
to see where roofs are to be found
for all the delegations that have been
heard from as on their way and to
arrive tomorrow.
The city is handsomely decorated,
nearly every building in the business
streets is in Fonrth of July toggery.
The Pittsburg Commercial Office is
tastefully decked out with flags, and
to- night is in blaze of illumination;
so of other papers OF the Republican
faith. 4
Many prominent men have arrived
to day. Among them Governor Cox,
of Ohio, and General Coehrane, of
New York, and dozens ofthe Brigade
and Division Commanders of the old
Army of the Southwest. Old John
Burns, the hero of Gettysburg, heads
a delegation from his town.
General Butler is on his way. He
stopped at Harrisburg to day, and
will be here to-morrow. His cock
eye is said 10 squint toward the Pres
idency OF the Convention, but he will
be disappointed, as that distinction
will be reserved for fighting sol
der If General Logan arrives in
time. he will be elected President
without any opposition. Ii not, it
will be Cox or Burnside.
A preliminary meeting was held
at the City Hall to night. The at
tendance was large and enthusiastic.
Governor Cox was made chairman,
and, in a trief speech, he advocated |
the Congressional policy as the only (
safe basis of reconstruction. There |
was a great deal of hurrahing done
by the boys. and a general d9Wning
of Andy johnson.
