WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING BE-
FORE THEY ACT.

EORE ACE-
Thaddeus Stevens Committee of Fifteen

of sending subcommittee to the South to
enquire into the real condition of things be-
fore it.acts or submits any report to Con-
gress. The Thirty ninth Congress must be
a very thick-beaded collection of persons, if
It is not pretty we'll acquainted with the
condition of things" in the South.
Upon this contemporary very properly
remarks that, since the close of the war,
Northern people of all classes and every
shade of opinion, in public and private ca
pacities, have journeyed through the South,
and all made known, in greater or less de-
gree, their impressions. The Chief Justice
of the United States, accompanied by
quite number of persons, among them
newspaper correspondent who made
known through Northern newspaper
everything seen and heard upon the way
bearing upon the condition of things" at
the South, took journey down the coast
and up the Mississippi" and no one viii be-
lieve but that he observed closely and re-
ported in some degree his observations. Gen.
Grant went on tour of inspection, and
Carl Schurz was specially appointed to travel
through the South, did so, and published his
report. Newspaper correspondents innu-
merable in the lately rebellious States, send
their letters to the Northern press. We still
have soldiery and military commanders in
the South who make their reports. The
press, conventions, letters, etc, are good
sources from which to derive information as
regards their disposition in reference to pub
lie affairs. ..qls 4aaF aEs lsTt
Yet, with all these facilities for knowing
the temper and wishes of the South, the Rad
ical element in Congress feigns ignorance Of
them, and will in all probability appoint
committees to go there to discover nothing
but what it knows perfectly well already.
1t is easy to conjecture what sort of persons
will constitute these committees and the
character of the reports which viii be made
by them. They might as well pocket the
funds necessary to bear them through their
jouneyings, shut themselves up for few
days and employ one or more Of their num-
Der to prepare "report," and submit it to
Congress Such one would, no doubt, be
every whit as true picture Of the condition
of the South'as one compiled from the per-
sonal knowledge and observation of the men
forming the committees and be quite as eff
fective in gaining their object, which is so
plain that "the wayfaring man, though a
fool, need not err therein" The longer the
restoration policy of the President is pre-
vented from being carried out the longer will
the balance of power remain in the hands of
the Radicals, and make or break the Union,
they will not give il up. They will no more
willingly release their hold on public affairs
than grim death gives up his victim.

FROZEN To DEATH.--We understand
negro man was found dead on one of the
back streets early yesterday morning. His
death resulted from want and exposure.
This ease should be a warming to the fliany
negroes who are still idling their time away,
and who have nothing whatever with which
to sustain life. Il is settled fact that the ne
groes must work, or they will surely suffer-

We find the following very sensible
and cogent remarks in the Lorain County
Nel0s
We are daily astonished at the reason
ing and arguments of apparently sensible
men who are preaching the duty of mag
nanimity toward the rebel leaders. Am
nesty to the misguided, ignorant and, in
a large degree, irresponsible rank and file,
all loyal people seem disposed to allow
But we regret exceedingly the growing
disposition-ot which such men as Henry
Ward Beecher, Gerritt Smith and Horace
Greeley are the special pleaders-to ex-
tend pardon to those leaders upon whom
rests the crime of deliberate causeless re-
bellion, with its four years of unspeakable
sacrifice and suffering Would they wiPo
from our statute books all laws against
treason2 Do they realize that the course
they so eloquently advocate puts a pre-
MUM upon the resort to arms as a redress
Tor real or faneied wrongs Do they be-
lieve in punishment of any crime Do
they realize how the course they adVocate
undermines the security of all govern
ment We cannot see how, according to
their views, they find any magnanimi-
ty" in the treatment Millions Satan ex-
perienced when he raised rebellion in
Heaven.
