THE NINE BILLS.

!, The passage ofthe Civil Rights Bill
over the Presidents veto is but one of a
series of measures before Congress,
which the Radicals propose to force
through. Let the South not Aatter
itself that this particular bill, bad as it
is, is the worst. The Chicago Tribune,
the great Western organ of Radicalism,
thus enumerates the measures its party
deems necessary. Upon nine PROPOSE
tons it is willing to reconstruct the
Union. They are thus stated by that
journal
The amendment to the Constitution
apportioning representatives according
to the number of voters instead of the
population, and designed to promote an
extension of the elective franchise to the
freedmen.
2. The Freedmen's Bureau bill, de-
signed to afford that temporary protec-
ton to person and property of the freed
men, which is necessary by reason of
the fact that they are deprived of the
ballot, of the right to sit on juries, to
hold office, to bear arms.
3. The Civil Rights bill, depriving
any State of the power to pass laws
whereby colored persons shall have any
less or fewer rights of person or proper
ty, or be subject to any other or severer
penalties for offences than white per-
sons.
5. Senator Henderson's amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
making suffrage uniform, irrespective of
color, and universal
6. Senator Stewards resolution pre-
scribing universal suffrage as a condi-
ton precedent to the re-admission of the
seeded States, and rendering them uni
versal amnesty ON compliance with this
condition.
2. Senator Wilson's joint resolution
offering to RI s. he Baeeeded S les
as soon as them legislatures shall extend
the right of suffrage to such of the freed
men as have borne arms or can read.
s. The report of the Minority Com
mittee, Messrs. Boutwell, and Wasburne
on Tennessee, admitting the Represen-
tatives of that State as soon as it shall
extend the suffrage to the freedmen.
8. The bill to extend the suffrage tC
the freedmen in the District of Colum
bia. Passed in the House, but no actor
taken by the Senate.
Each of these measures, says the Mem
phis Ledger, looks with a single eye tC
one grand result-equality of the Negro
with the white race in the South. Be
yond the interests of the former, RaGi
calism appears to see and know nothing
There is no sort of doubt that the lead
ers of that faction really believe that tn
African is superior to the European
But while this is the fact, SINGULAR,
enough, they propose to protect him b.
law, as if he were an infant and inca
pable of acting for himself. 1t is diff
cult to determine which is greater-th
delusion or the inconsistency of Radi
calism.

Gen. Grant has recommended the un-
conditional release of Major Dick Nc
Cam, now confined in Jail at Knoxville,
on the ground that the act for which he
was confined was committed when civil
law was subverted, and in his capacity
as soldier. The subject has been re-
TERED TO Gov. Drownlow, and IL 10 sl.o
opinion of the Memphis Argus that the
release will soon be granted.

nrTha New York World, con

rag The New York World, com
menting on the disbanding of negro
troops and the opposition of the Radical
press to that measure, says
The only use we have for troops, of
and kind, at present, is to guard the
Western frontier against Indian depre-
dations, aud to preserve domestic tran.
guilty in the South. So far as the lat
ter use is concerned, we would prefer
to see not only negro troops, but all troops
disbanded, reserving only sufficient to
completely man the Southern forts. The
Southern militia is the best safeguard
against internal disorder in that section,
as the Northern MALTA serves the same
end here. If there are domestic distur-
Dances in the South, it is the Southern
people who must chiefly suffer, and who
have therefore the chief interest in their
suppression Why should the North be
taxed to preserve domestic tranquility i'll
the South, any more than the South to
preserve tranquility in the North
But conceding that, for precautionary
reasons, 1t may be needtul to keep some
troops in the South, it is equally the
dictateof prudence and of economy that
white troops shall be used, and not
black, The reason is plain. The OBJ
ject of any troops is to put down possible
resistance, and the presence of black
troops tends to excite the very resist
ance they are kept to quell. The South
detests negro troops. They unpleas-
antly remind it of what it is for the in
terest of both sections should be speedily
forgotten. 1t is only because negro
soldiers tend to keep up irritation and
bitterness, that the amiable Radicals in
sist on having them retained. If sep
aration were made and the black soldiers
all sent to the Western frontier to fight
the Indians, leaving only white soldiers
in the South, there would be Just as
great camor as is raised on their dis
| bandment.

The n. O., j. & G.. N. RAILROAD
1--WE are informed" says the Standard,
chat there is a reliable party ready and
willing to lease the N. O., J. & G. N.
Railroad for term of years, at a price
that will pay the interest on the bonds as
fast as it accrues, and pay up the bonds
at maturity, and build the road through
the State and to its Northern terminus,
and connection with the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad in a short time
We hope that the adjourned Stockhold-
ers' meeting, to meet again in New Or
leans next Monday, will authorize the
incoming Board Of Directors to make
this arrangement. 1t will not change
the present status of the company. The
proposition is plain one and easily I'M
derstood. 1t demonstrates itself to any
one that will take the trouble to investi-
gate it,"
I he completion of this road is a mat
ter of vast importance to our State, not
only to Central and Northeastern Missis-
sippi which is primarily concerned, but,
through community of interests, to all
sections. While the Centre needs road
the Northwest needs this road, affording
a choice of markets, and creating such
competition as will reduce the price of
freight for them, and, at the same time,
have tendency to bring down the freight
tariff generally throughout the country.

THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
The legal effects of the Presidents Pc
cent proclamation, declaring the war at
an end, are much wider and more rami-
fed than would at first sight be supposed.
There are several acts of Congress that
have their existence dependent upon the
duration of the war. The joint resolu-
ton of Congress, approved February g.
1865, excluded eleven States from par
ticipation in Presidential elections, be-
cause they had been declared in insur-
rection. The act of March 3, 1865, Gre
ating the Freedmen's Bureau, expires by
its own enactment one year after the end
of the rebellion. An act of March 3,
1868, authorized the President, during
the present rebellion, whenever in his
Judgment the public safety might re-
quire it, to suspend the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus" and President
Lincoln's proclamation of Sept. Is, 1863,
suspending the writ, declared that the
suspension should continue throughout
the duration Of silch rebellion, or until
this proclamation shall, by a subsequent
one to be issued by the President of the
United States, be modified or revoked"
The recent proclamation of President
johnson also changes the army and
navy from a war to peace footing, re-
ducing officers pay for Communication, for
rations, forage and horses, to which
those of high grades in the army are en-
titled. In addition TO the laws men
toned above, there are quite number
of other acts, such as those relating to
the militia, the National forces, drafting,
&c, which have reference only to the
continuance of the war-Philadelphia
