EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING
JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-09-26

is unanimously hostile TO Southern rights. the
South would be as powerIess in Congress as 1t
is out of H.. The pretended advantages of inn
mediate ratification are therefore futile and
hollow.
The assertion that the excluded States will
have to come to this at last is not well sup
ported. II the ten excluded States stand united,
the amendment cannot be forced upon them
until the number of States is increased to
forty. True, few years may suffice TO make
this addition; but Kentucky and Maryland
win equally decline to ratiiy, as the amend
ment would also reduce their weight IN Con-
gIess. Instead OF ten non-ratifying states there
will therefore, be twelve; which would require
the whole number OF States to be increased 60
fcrtY-eight before the amendment could be
carried, which will not be in this generation.
Nor is it supposable that a great part of the
white population OF Missouri will be perma-
nently excluded, as at present, from their
political rights. As Missouri is not q negro
suffrage State, the party in power may not
choose to hasten its downfall by ratlfying the
amendment.
In that case, there would be thirteen non-rati-
fying States, and thirteen can postpone the
adoption OF the amendment until the number of
States Is increased to ftty-two, which is a greater
number OF States than we are ever likely to
have the Territories being only nine, and the
present thirty-siX States being sixteen less than
tifty-two. Even when the whole seven Terri
tories shall have become States, eleven nom
Iatiiying States will suffice to defeat the
amendment, So far is it from being true that
the amendment must prevail at last, il the South
shall steadily resist it,.
Even If the South were willing to purchase
admission by surrendering a part of its repre-
sentatives, it has no assurance that it could be
admitted by making the sacrifice. Congress
has told the Southern States nothing OF the
kind, and they would be foolish to pay the price
without pledge from this slippery Congress
that it would not be paid in vain. The journals
which are obtruding their advice TO ratity at
once would be better employed in advising
Congress to furnish such pledge. Until this
is done, the advice, if ever so reasonable in
itself, Is premature.
Will the trio of Republican journals which are
urging immediate ratification by the Southern
States, tell us what course they propose to take
if those States persisently stand out, and insist
on their constitutional rights?

HORACE GREELEY FOR SENATOR Leg
islature which meets 10 Albany next January
will be called upon to elect q U. s. Senator
for six years. Hon. Ira Harris, whose term
OF Office expires 1t Ma, ch, is a candidate for

Curtis has been men toned also in that con-
necsion. Within a week or two, Horace
Greeley's name has been brought forward BY
many of the papers of the State and is receiv
ed with unexpected approval. Mr.. Greeley
who has been inquired of respecting his can
d.dacy, says: s. L shall certainly accept the
Senatorship and endeavor to discharge It's du.
ties, should l be elected. And | shall BIZ
grati6ed TO learn that our newly chosen Leg
islature shall judge me the man for the place.
The New York Times and the Herald urg,
Mr.. Greeley's election and it is even sale
that John Morrissey favors it, though OF

OREGoN.-The Legislature of Oregon at
first ratified the Constitutional Amendment.
The lower house afterwards, two Union mem
hers having been unseated-adopted resolu-
ton declaring that the ratification of the
amendment did not express the will of the
house. TIE vote was "a yeas to % nays, one
member elected as a union man voting with
the Democrats. This vote was teleeraphed
over the country as rejection Of the amend
ment. Afterwards this disapproval was recon.
sidered, and the motion to disapprove wa.
negstved by vote of "a to %, the vscilla;lng
union member voting with the Republicans
Oregon may therefore be counted as one Of
the states which have ratified the amendment.

The Geography and History Of

This book which has been introduced in
many OF the schools in the State, ought this
winter to 60 into all of them. 1t is the ONLY
text book on that subject either in use or in
print, and it ought to be in the hands of
every scholar in the common schools of Yer.
mont. If Geography or History ought to be
studied at all, the Geography and History of
Vermont ought to be studied in Vermont
schools. Town superintendents, teachers and
parents should use their efforts to introduce
this book-at least they should make such An
effort if they regard it of any consequence
that the children of Vermont should know
anything of the GEOGRAPHY and History of
their own State.

CHANGE OF BAsE.-Tne Chicago Times and
Boston Post, two Democratic Iapers, have
Stree the fall elections advised their party to
adopt impartial suffrage as plank IN their
platform. The party will not be converted
to any such doctrine, however 1t has no
hope ior the future except in alliance With
southern e1-rebels, and impartial suffrage
would be political death to traitors. The
leopard may possibly change his spots, but

ALLOWING xxsrosDENrs TO rrsrrrr.

ALLOWING 6E6P0NDENTS TO fR0fUY.
The act allowing respondents to testify is
radical change in criminal law. 1t must
however, be an advantage to innocent person.
charged with offences. The real criminal
will be SLOW to avail themselves of the privi
lege, and, uDleo ready to add perjury 4
their guilt. will plead guilty. Justice seldom
is perverted by allowing persons to testify
who knoso the facts, whether they attempt t
misrepresent them or not. A sharp Gross
examination will generally discredit false
witness.
Highway surveyors and farmers who are
drawing logs to mill, will do we'll to examine
the laws in relation to highways.
REDEMPTION OF BANK BILLS.
Holders of the bills of any of our State
banks should read the act prescribing the
course to be taken by such banks in the re-
demption of their BILLS We doubt the wis
dom of such legislation. as We can see No
good reason why banks should be released
from their promises to pay on any easier
terms than individuals. But inasmuch az
the Legislature has provided, that The banks
complying with the requirements of this bill
shall be released from all obligations there
after to redeem such bills as were not pre-
ented within the year, the only safety of the
holders Of this State money is to present it
within the time given for redemption.
INTEREST.
The act relating to interest, v lille not in
fact changing what has been the usual method
OF computing interest, is yet a necessary
declaration of the law in that particular
Those having occasion to compute interest,
either receiving or paying it, will do well to
Keep this legislation in mind.
PRESERVATION CT FISH
We hope the people of the State will, by
common consent observe the law for the pres
ervation of fish. There can be no do bt that
our lake., ponds, rivers and brooks would
produce trout much more abundsntly if they
were lot visited by fishermen cut Ct season
and the experiment of peopling again the
Connecticut and other waters of the State
with shad and salmon is one which ought
to have the aid of every person who enjoys
pisca.ory sports or the dainty luxury of these
fish when prepared for the table. We hope
the penalties of this bill will be visited upon
every person who violates it's provisions.
STATE TAX.
The tax of ffty-fve cents on the dollar was
the least sum which the Treasurer could esti-
mate as adequate to meet the current expenses
of the State for the year. The act shows
where this money is to be paid, although the
it ms named in - ction three were of course
estimated AID they will be as likely to ex-
coed as to fall under the estimate While
this tex is less than last year, It is yet large
enough 70 admonish the people that the
Stale expenses should be kept at the lowest
possible limit. The State ought rot to be
nIggardly, but until our annual State tax is
sidtrably less than ffty-fve cents on
dollar, retrenchmeLt should be practiseJ
wherever possible. One and one-half Der
cent of this tax was occasioned by The legIs
lation increasing the pay of officers and meO.-
bers of the Legislature.
