The Pardoning Power.

In the seventy-fourth number Of
the Federalist, Mr.. Hamilton, speak
ing of the pardoning power in the
Constitution, its intentions and uses,
and after having argued that if it
were committed to Congress it might
be corruptly abused to too great
clemency, says:
"On the other hand, when the Sc
dition had preceded from causes
which had inhamed the resentments
Of the major party, they might often
be found obstinate and inexorable
when policy demanded conduct of
forbearance and clemency But tie
principal argument for reposine the
power of pardoning in this case in
the Chief Magistrate, is this: In
seasons Of insurrection and rebellion,
there are often critical moments,
when well-timed offer of pardon to
the Insurgents or rebels may restore
the tranquility of the commonwealth;
and which, if suffered to pass nnim-
proved, it may never be possible

process of convening the Legislature,
or one of its branches, for the pur-
pose of obtaining its sanction, would
frequently be the occasion of causing
to let slip the golden opportunity.
The loss of week, % day, an hour,
may sometimes be fatal %
This great authority would seem to
conclude that the thirteenth section
of the Act of 1862 was unnecessary to
endue the President with complete
powers over the whole question,
either before or after the conviction
and that the Constitution gives to the
President power to extend amnesty
by proclamation, which would work
a remission of all statutory penalties
and forfeitures.

What is Coming.

Tho National Republican, Official, J
of Friday, repeats what it has before
said as to the radical scheme for pre-
venting the Southern States from vot-
ingEat the next Presidential election;
and reiterates, that in the event that
the electoral votes Of those States
would, nevertheless, electa President,
if counted-that candidate, whoever
he might be, would be President, or
we would have another revolution,
more bloody perhaps tltan the one we
have passed through, because there
would be loyal sentiment in the
North to support the South in her
electoral rights.
This statement, coming from the
official organ of the President, is signi-
ficant but we suggest that if the
Southern States be reduced to q terri
torial condition by Congress in the
meantime, what advantage will the
interposition Of President johnson
be when the election of President
comes on? Our opinion is, that if the
President intends to interfere at all
with the acts of this unconstitutional
Congress-, he should do it long before
the time for the election of President.
There may not be Southern State
in existence at that time-that is, as
sovereign State-and his interposition
would then come too late.
There is trouble brewing in the fu-
ture of our national affairs, which
may be arrested by firmness and
prompt action on the part of the
Executive. One or other branch of
the Government must direct the af-
fairs of the country but every right
thinking man will pray to save US
from the Congressional despotism
now being sought to be established
by Stevens and Sumner.

TEE DEMocRArs-The correspc n
dent of the New York Times writes
from Washington, that the Democrats
have had no formal caucus, but have
nevertheless resolved, after holding
several informal conferences, to be
less belligerent than they were at the
last session-hoping that the radicals,
if allowed rope enough, Will hang
themselves. The honest people Of
the country will rejoice if the anti
cipated result shall follow.

The radicals of the North are
attempting to alter human nature,
and reverse the current of human
feeling. They think to make peo-
pie towards whom they are manifest
ing fiendish hate, and loading with
opprobrium and oppression, admire,
initiate, fraternize and love them.

has IN article felicitating itself on the
poverty of the Southern people, and

tuition in some parts of the Southern
country.

The DeSDotisrn.

The New York Herald, of Friday,
says :
The republicans of Congres, have
resolved, among other things in eau
Gus, to provide by law:
FIRsT-That no name shall be placed
on the roll of the next Congress ex-
cept from States entitled to represen-
tation by law.
SEcoND-That no electoral votes
shall be counted for President and
VicePresident Q86S) cast by any
State excluded from Congress.
THIRD-Ihat the first session of
the foltieth Congress, instead of
meeting IN December, as usual, shall
meet on the 4th of March next, at the
close of the present Congress.
Considering, therefore, that the
House, by On overwhelming majority
has resolved to adhere to the pending
constitutional amendment as the ba-
sis of Southern restoration, this pro-
gramme simply means that the ex-
cluded States shall have no voice in
Congress or in the approaching Presi-
dental election, unless they abandon
meantime their present declared pur-
poses of holding out against the
amendment. "To this complexion
they must come ut last" and the
sooner the better. This is the whole
case in nutshell.
This is our future The establish
ment of q perpetual Congress, we re-
gard as the worst form of despot-
ism, for in this way that body would
acquire power thot would eventual
ly overwhelm the executive and Judi
ciary departments Of the Govern
ment.
So long as the several departments
of the Government confined them
selves to the sphere of their constitu-
tional duties, the Government was
well managed, and there was little
danger rs to an infraction of the
Constitution, or to the liberties Of
the people. But the law-mal1ine
power of the Government has usurp-
ed all power-extinguishing sover-
eign States, taking charge OF the
Treasury department, and over riding
the conservative provisions of the
Constitution, and setting at defiance
all remonstrances from the Execu-
tive. They thus install despotism
which must bring the country to
ruin.

The North md South.

The New York Sun, of Friday, says:
ssThe late commercial depression at
the North is attributed by the Rich
mond Enquirer to our unsatisfactory
relations with the South, and to what
it deems the impolitic attempts Of
Congress at reconstruction. It is no
doubt, true, that if the South held
it's old relations to the North the con-
dition would be one more favorable
to trade aud commerce between the
two yet it must not be supposed
that the North depends for its pros
perity on the continuance of Southern
trade. New York has never, ut any
time, reached so high q degree of
commercial prosperity IS during the
war, when all Southern communica-
ton was entirely suspended. AL
though some branches of industry
suffered, others received q proper
tionate stimulus, and the condition
of the entire North was so far from
ruinous, as Southern predictions
would havedhad it."
The New York .S,oa knows better
than the sham statement it makes
above. Whatever Of prosperity the
North enjoyed during the war, ema-
mated from the United States Treasu-
ry, in the shape of shoddy contracts,
pickings, stealings, &c. If this we're
not the case, what is the cause of the
depression in business, the .Suu itself
records from day to day.

The President has discomftted
the thimble-rigging politicians, by
ignoring the discussion of constitu-
tional amendments and the negro
suffrage issue. He knew that mes
sage to Congress was not the proper
place to discuss questions so wholly
within the province and jurisdiction
of the States; but the thousand and
one wiseacres who think they could
conduct the Government as easily as
they throw off Il political paragraph,
would have had him discuss and
arguefy every topic in the range of
governmental science, and provoked
a controversy with every crotchet in
the land

Cotton.

SoIo4uS W VIC DSSU GuJuOT1C1cS,
the wants Of the world in our great
staple is estimated at 3,5oO,O 900 bales.
Putting down the products of the
Southern States at 100000 bales,
which is above the mark; East Indies
600, 900; Egypt 100000; Brazil for
13o, 600 bales, gives a supply of 3,0O0,-
900 bales. Setting the stocks on
hand at the beginning of the year
against those that Will be on hand at
the close, We have then deficiency
In the supply of 10000 bales.
Under these circumstances, it is
reasonable to anticipate an advance
in the price Of cotton, or at least that
it will not decline, and Will, doubtless,
advance more than the, scant supply
would warrant The advance in price
very often goes ahead Of the real de-
fciency Of the supply, for the very
apprehension of short supply often
Increases prices far beyond their
legitimate circle
AS far as we can observe from our
exchanges in the gulf cotton growing
States, and in the States of the Mis-
sissippi valley, the cotton crop of the
whole Southern States will not much
exceed 100000 bales, although it
may reach 100000. We will take,
for instance, case in Alabama. A
planter Of that State offers to the Mo-
bile Times list of fifty plantations
in No2ubee valley, in which were
raised in 1860, 5,513 bales of cotton
this year the crop is but 1, Goa de-
1iciency Of 1000 bales. Besides this
falling off in the staple, the writer
thinks there is only about one tenth
OF crop Of corn or meat.
From Louisiana, Arkansas, and
other States, We have pretty much
the same accounts, and we do not
think that we have any cause to
change our earlier estimates, made in
the PAemc at the opening of the
season-say 10000 bales.
We place these estimates before our
cotton-growing friends, and leave
them to govern themselves in the dis
position OF the staple Our opinion
is, that cotton cannot materially de-
cline in price, and our belief is that
it will advance. The movements of
cotton must of course be governed by
the absolute wants and Necessities Of
the producer; but as a general rule,
we think those who can hold on to
their cotton bales, will not lose by
doing SO.

States Rights.

The National Hatelligencer, of Thurs
day, in an article on the political
situation, says:
If the State Government in Yer
mont was destroyed by an English
invasion which held possession of
that territory for one or more years,
it would be in the power of the peo-
ple-nay, it would be their inaiienable
right-to meet in convention and re-
organize State Government. And
if the State had been held so long by
British bayonets that many of the
people had succumbed and united in
the institution of different Govern
ment, they wonld not, by that fact,
be debarred from taking part in the
reconstruction as citizens of Vermont,
unless there was law to prevent it.
All that the Executive would have to
do with the question, would be to as
certain and announce that military
resistance was so far overcome as to
justify the people in the re-establish-
mont of civil authority. Virtually
this was done. On occupying the
South, military law was gradually
withdrawn, and as fast as the State
Governments were rehabilitated, the
civil authority was substituted for the
military.
We do not deny that if Congress
had been in session it might have
taken the determination Of this ques-
ton out of the hands of the Execu-
tive. But unless this power was e1er-
cised, it would be bound by his acts.
Congress never made but one attempt
to determine on what basis the peo-
pie should exercise their indefeasible
right of recognizing their State 60
vernments when overthrown by the
rebellion, and that was defeated by
Mr.. Lincoln's failure to sign the bill.
In the absence of any legislation to
control him, the President was sole
Judge, subject only to the limitations
of the Constitution and of express
statutes. The rccusant citizens, in
the absence of law depriving them of
their rights, were legally citizens of
the United States, entitled to all the
privileges OF such the moment they
abandoned armed resistance, and
exposed only to such penalties as the
law imposes
We do not deny the right of Con-
gress to have DISTINGUISHED every re
bel as penalty for his offence; but
not having done that, we do claim
that all save the excepted classes in
the amnesty proclamation are reha-
bilitated, and that Congress has 10
more legal authority to destroy the
State governments of the South than
the State governments of Pennsylva-
MIA or of Illinois. Itmade blunder
in failing to impose disabilities for
treason, and to provide basis of re-
construction, and it is NO " too late to
think of going bei.;.l it. Recon
struction is not Andrew Johnson's
work. The State organizations of
the South are not of his creation.
That was the work of the Southern
people themselves. Those organiza-
tions exist by the act of the men of
Mississippi and South Carolina, by
the net of citizens who cannot now be
punished ny the arm of the Federal
Government, for the bulk of them
are absolved of their offence by the
terms of their parole, and of the am
nesty proclamation.

The GovERNMENr REVENUE. is
stated in advices from Washington,
that the radicals will make deter
mined and persistent effort to de-
tach the entire control of the Govern
ment revenue from the Executive, in
order that they may possess greater
facilities for plunder and spoils.
From the foreshadowings already
made, there is nothing at which the
radical majority will hesitate, and
it is evident that the leaders have
made up their minds either to control
the whole machinery OF government,
or to utterly destroy it. Simmer
has SO avowed, Stevens has 50 avowed,
and so have the rest of the leaders,
and what they dictate, the balance
will subscribe to.

o't in the stable and warehouse belonging
to Messrs. Calnan & kreudcr, which de-
stroyed that building and the one adj a.
cent, occupied by Mr.. Z. C. plumer for gas
fitting purposes. The loss of Messrs. Cal
nan * Kreudcr was very severe, as .he
burnt building contained several bales of
cotton. fine horse, quantity OF furniture
and provender. Earnest endcavors wero
made TO rescue the horse, but the fire had
made such headway before the alarm was
given, that it was found impossible to do
so. Mr.. Plumer's losses will not exceed
$500 The fire was doubtless the work Of in
cendiaries, and Messrs. Calnan i Kreuder
have offered a reward of 800 for any infor-
nation leading to their detection.

FROM WAsH1NGroN.-Th cores
pondent of the Baltimore Sun writes:
The Senate has adjourned until
Monday, to enable the committees to
arrange business for this session of
Congress. Another purpose of this
adjournment is to enable the Repub-
ican Senators to hold caucus, which
meets tomorrow, at 10 o'clock m., to
consider what action shall be taken on
the House bill providing for the
repeal of the thirteenth section Of the
law empowering the President to
grant pardon and amnesty, ETC.. also,
to determine what shall be done with
the measures proposed by the caucus
Of Representatives last night. 1t is
understood, too, that the several bills
to regulate the tenure of Office, and
Mr.. Kelley's bill to create the internal
revenue department, will be discussed
IN the Senate caucus.
Objection is made especially to the
feature of Mr.. Kelley's bill, which
gives control of the internal revenue
department effectually to the Supreme
Court, which tribunal, it is claimed,
would be prostituted to polit;ca! and
financial interests should the bill be-
come law.
