A Question Stated, and Fairly
Answered.

We find the following question and
answer in the N. Y. Tribune. This
answer contains full and fair elucida-
ton of question which appears to
distract the minds of so many people.
Question, by Correspondent: o.
care the States which are refused
representation in Congress, out of the
Union, or in the Union, or out for some
purposes and in for others? ~ ii
ANSWERING States are refused
representation in Congress. Certain
States, which have been fighting for
four years to destroy the Union, are
within the territorial boundaries and
under the rightful authority of the
Union but they are out of their prop
er practical relations to the Union,
and are to be brought back into them
so soon as they safely and justly can
be. Congress has prescribed the way
in the Constitutional Amendment
now awaiting ratification by the States
and Tennessee has followed that way
and it has led her back into her old
status in the Union, which she should
never have destroyed. Let the Others
go and do likewise. N. Y. Tribune

The Lincoln and Johnson Par-
Hes

The Johnson party claim that the
successor of Mr.. Lincoln is carrying
out the policy of the latter, and is in
full sympathy with all his plans and
wishes. AS one of the evidences Of 1t,
"a small item among thousands Of
others-it may be mentioned that they
have employed the notorious "Brick"
Pomeroy, editor of the La Crosse (Wis.)
Democrat, to canvass Indiana in be-
half of the Johnson "policy," through
out the present campaign. Just be-
fore the last Presidential election, this
fellow got off, through the columns of
his paper, the following expression OF
good will toward Mr.. Lincoln and
his policy:
OFF LINCOLN is ELECTED FOR
ANOTHER FOUR YEARS, WE
TRUST SOME BOLD HAND WILL
PIERCE HIS HEART WITH A
DAGGER POINT FOR THE PUB
Lie GOOD"
This is the way the johnson men
are showing the harmony there is be-
tween Mr.. Johnson's views and those
of Mr.. Lincoln.

Northern Governors all Loyal.


The Philadelphia North American,
alluding to the meeting of the Govern
ors of the different loyal States in that
city, says:
1t is little curious, and yet very
encouraging, to find that now, after
all the Governors have spoken, there
is-not one in all the Northern States,
from Maine to Oregon, who is not de-
cisively committed against the treason
of Andrew Johnson. They were all
elected on the issue between loyalty
and treason, were committed to free
dom and the sound reconstruction OF
the Union, and despite the power OF
the President and the influence of his
whipper-in and conscience keeper, they
are all as much opposed to-day tc
Messrs johnson and Seward as theN
were originally to Davis, and Stephens
and Toombs, and Benjamin. The
Governors of the Pacific States wer,
naturally heard from last. They hay,
come out with an unqualified indorse
ment of the Congressional plan of re
construction, and with a fiat Opposi
tlon TO whatever influence thwarts it.

The Attorney General and the
Constitution.

Attorney General Stanbery has de-
livered an elaborate opinion, precisely
as everybody knew he would, affirm
ing the power of the President to make
appointments regardless of the U. S.
Senate. He don't put it exactly in
that way, but that is his opinion. If
the Senate rejects the Executive ap-
pointment of any pardoned rebel, all
the President has to do, according tc
Mr.. Attorney General Stanbery, is tC
wait till Congress adjourns and ap
point him again. And so on to the
end of the chapter. This virtually
destroys that portion of the Constitu.
tion which requires appointments tc
be made "with the advice and consent
of the Senate. ."-[Dayton Jour.

Gus, he has broken his promise by

his promise by vetOing every bill

all loyal men, whether white or black

A Good Record.

Gov. Brownlow, ofTennessee, made
a short speech in Cleveland, last week,
when he was so sick as scarcely to be
able to stand up. The following is a
passage from his remarks:
81 hope and expect, by rest and re-
tirement for year or two, to regain
my health and strength, and 1 hope to
be good for at least fifteen or twenty
years more Of hard fighting against
rebels. [Applause.] If God, how.
ever, in his providences, should call
me off, have no fears of the conse.
quences beyond the grave. If the
books have been correctly kept in the
upper world, as / have no doubt they
have been, there will be small bal
ance in my favor. Laughter
A man with my record need not
fear death. In the first place l never
did anything to aid or abet the rebel
lion, and in the second place never
voted the Democratic ticket"

CURIOUS During the Rebellion
there was rebel guerrilla Gen. For
rest, who gained some repute as the
leader of bad men, but whose reputa-
ton is mostly founded upon the fact
that on the 18th April, 1864, he cap
tured Fort Pillow and its garrison of
about five hundred men, whereupon
began with this rebel leaders consent.
one of the most atrocious scenes of
slaughter ever witnessed on this conti-
nent-neither age, sex, color nor con-
dition restrained the human brutes.
until over three hundred defenceless
prisoners were murdered in cold blood
by this Gen. Forrest and his men,
Well, on the 18th of this month OF
September, in the city of Cleveland, in
meeting purporting to have been
mainly composed of officers who had
served under the Union flag, cheers
were proposed and given with will

"II. Gu ON BEECHER.-"H. g."
of the N. Y. Tribune, closes a review
of Henry Ward Beecher's Cleveland
letter, as follows;
"Mr. Beecher has achieved sudden
and wide popularity. In the concep-
ton of every blackleg, duelist, negro
killer and rowdy, from the St. John to
the Rio Grande, he has all at once
ceased to be fanatic, bigot, dis
unionist, and become an enlightened
patriot and statesman. His praises are
freely mingled with the blasphemies of
the Day Book and the Tibaldry of the
Sunday Mercury. There is not in all
the land one who considers 'niggers
very well , in their place. but that
place under the feet of the whites, who
does not thank him for his letter. The
Thugs of New Orleans are by this
time enjoying it. Gen. Forrest would
gladly preside at meeting to ratify it.
But there is sadness many hearts
where the eloquent pastor of Plymouth
Church has been loved and honored-
a mournful consciousness that they
have trusted too confidently and lovet
unwisely., !, little children, keep youi
hearts from id0ls.' W &aaa

Hopeful.

a Southern correspondent of the
Chicago Times has found a planter
who is hopeful of the future. He
says:
zone thing is certain; there will be
another rebellion about how soon /
don't know; we must be prepared
next time better than this one. We
understand now the fighting pluck OF
the Yankees; that was our error; we
will not make that mistake next time.
We must have foreign alliance before
we strike, and not a mere promise.-
We have learned a lesson now; we
can diplomatize to gain time; but let
us get seats in Congress let us get the
United States troops mustered out
and all will be we'll yet. have never
doubted we would be ultimately indie.
