CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS IN
THE LEGISLATURE. Both Houses of
the General Assembly of Louisiana
have unanimously rejected the Con
stitutional amendment proposed by
Congress. This is certainly re-
markable result in the history of
this country. The Governor, in his
message to the Legislature, in favor
of these amendments, commends
them as even too just and liberal.
and out of legislative assembly of
one hundred and forty members, not
a single vote is given in favor of his
views. And yet it is we'll known that
in the Legislature there are number
of representatives who have always
been regarded and recognized as good
Union men throughout the late war,
and since. A Governor without
single supporter in the Legislature is
without precedent in the political an
nails of this country. Considering the
large patronage enjoyed by the Go
vernon OF the State, this is certainly
striking proof of the unanimity Of
this people. e.-Ne'o Orleaas Times, Sill.

The Natural Effect.

We have cogitated upon the matter
and came to the same conclusion, OF
the point referred to in the following
paragraph from the Richmond Dis
patch, of Friday:
1t is a question whether Stevens
bill contemplutes the abolition of the
State governments in the South, or
merely places ga power behind the
throne greater than the throne it
self" In view of the fact that many
millions of our State bonds are held
by Northern men, it may be safely
assumed that the latter is the inten-
ton of the bill II our debt were
owing only to rebel and English
''aristocrats, Thad would territori-
alize the State for the purpose Of
rendering her bonds worthless. Our
Legislature will be apt to make no
provision for paying It dollar of in
terest due to Northern men until
Virginia shall have been recognized
by Congress as State, equal in
every respect to New York or Massa-
chusetts. 1t would be useless; for if
Congress may any day legislate our
authorities out Of existence, and
send a commission here to govern us,
the acts of those authorities must be
of little value in law

EESIANISM IN THE UNITED STATES. =
The Buffalo Courier has the following
statistics of Fenianism in the United
States:
The month of January, 1867, has
been an eventful one for the Fenian
Brotherhood in the United States
and all over the globe wherever it has
its ramifcations and branches. At
present, the Brotherhood in the
United States, with the exception Of
thirty or forty circles, recognize but
one head, and that is President VIM.
r. Roberts. Over $50 circles recog-
nize his authority, and ere the 1st of
March, 1000 circles of the Fenian
organization will be in operation in
America. The State of New York
has already 100 circles in good stand
ing, working actively and quietly;
Pennsylvania about the same num-
ber; Ohio rs; Illinois rs; Michigan
36, and the other States of the Union
an equal proportion, who are labor
ing for the same end. The circles
are arming quietly and without os-
tentation or any publicity, and uni
forms are being provided for the
members OF the Organizations in
thousands. The Brotherhood has
the most unanimous confidence and
dependence on the promises of Pre-
sident Roberts, chiefly owing to the
fact that he is, as prominent Fenian
said few days ago, erich enough to
be honest

The Bill of Force.

The National hteUigencer, speaking
of the bill reported from the Recon
struction Committee by MIR. Stevens,
says:
If this bill is the best scheme
which this notorious committee have
to offer for the restoration of frater-
nal feeling throughout a country
lately torn by civil war-if this is the
consummate flower of the statesman
ship of the Thirty-ninth Congress
we shall have to record the melan-
choly fact that the race Of statesmen
is extinct Will not our public men
realize that the war is over-that the
nation demands that its fierce pas
sions shall be hushed-that its dread
machinery shall be put one side?
When the thunders of battle have
ceased, and the soldiers confronting
each other IL deadly array have
melted into citizens earnestly en-
gagged in the arts of peace, shall the
bayonet be still substituted for the
sherit1's process, and the Judge be
thrust untieI The foot OF the general?
Out upon the bastard thought. No
true born American wishes to govern
his fellow-countrymen by the mailed
hand. No lover of freedom would
rear the military commission above
the sacred trial by jury. The party
which attempts to subordinate civil
authority, however imperfect, to, the
arbitrary mandates Of military a,l-
thority, commits political suicide
and if the leaders Of the dominant
party III Congress are so infatuated
as to believe that this nation Will con-
tiulle to back them in their scnseless
policy OF prescription, OF violence
and of hate, they will ere long be
reused from their dream of folly.
That policy is based on falsehood.
1t assumes that the people OF the
South are unwilling to be governed
by law, and have lost their attach
ment to American nationality. and
their faith In the grand destiny of the
AM erican people. Neither is true.
The South WAS without law for
months after Lees surrender; but
American character asserted itself
and preserved order until the Judge
was restored to his bench and the
sheriff, to his office. The surgine
tide of national life, which has
bounded so violently through the
great heart of all the North during
the war, pulsates as yet feebly among
a people impoverished, crushed, alb.
sorbed in the sad struggle for bread
1t needs but the restoration of the
old channels, and they would vindi
cate more fully than ever their attach
ment to the Union and the Constitu
ton. Instead of restoring those
channels: the politicians are mao
enough to seek to destroy them.
The leaders of the old Republican
party are signing their political deatl
variants. They are heaping ur
wrath against the day of wrath. They
are alternating the public confidence
by abusing power instead of nobly
using it, by demonstrating that they
believe in force rather than freedom,
by revealing their incapacity rightly
to employ the fruits Of victory in
healing the wounds of the South,
awakening its dormant patriotism
and adopting the policy of recon
ciliation and forgetfulness. If they
pass the bill reported by the commit
| tee, it will be the severest blow yet
given to their hold on the people OF
the North.

that every State concerned is to be

New ENGLAND AND THE SOUTH IN
THE FUTURE.-The Providence (R. I. J
Post, in notice of the January
number of DeBoac's Reoien, after re-
marking that the entire magazine,
almost without qualification, is de-
voted to the material interests of the
South, says:
There can be no doubt, sooner or
later, the Southern cotton will be
made into cloth largely in Alabama,
Georgia, and North Carolina; while
the coal, the iron, and the gold of
the South will aid in making it the
richest portion of the country.
We do not anticipate, nor need the
present generation worry itself about
the transference of manufacturing
power from New England to Georgia,
but the transfer will be made, and
within o period short in the history
of a nation. New England will be
rich, but not energetic; cultivated,
intellectually, but not prospering in
material wealth; power Of the past,
and not the hope Of the future.
There will be two classes, the rich
and the unambitious poor, and the
great West and the. growing South
will despise and scorn her, as she
now lords it over them.

JUs1 WHAT WE THINK. New
York World says if the President is
capable of yielding, it would have
been better to save the country from
this long turmoil by yielding long
ago. BY his vigorous opposition to
Congress, he has exasperated the ra-
ideals, and educated the South into
stubbornness. At an earlier stage, the
South would have submitted more
easily, and Congress have been less
exacting. The President cannot JUS
tify himself either morally OF logically
IN keeping everything at loggerheads
for so long a period, if the quarrel is
to be settled at last by Congress
having its own way He should
either not yield at all, or have yielded
sooner, and saved all this gratuitous
mischief.

Army Rule for the sorsn.

Under this head, the National IN
teUigencer says:
ssWhat Gen. Banks uttered III con-
demnation OF the principle of putting
the authorities of the South under
the absolute control of the army, is
but the reflection Of the general SEN
timent. SO deep is the execration
by all the people of this suggestion
of the star-cnamDer c;,bai, that were
their feelings consulted, said conclave
Of conspirators against restored Union
would be instantly relieved from
duty. And here let us ask if men
who shocked the popular sentiment
by 81 odious a proposition ought to
be looked to with confidence for an
other, which they are forced TO pro
mise ii order to escape utter public
odium. DO men gather grapes of
thorns or figs of thistles?' So great
is the repugnance or averso the
country and the House to thtI' latest
scheme, that the latter body ought to
declare want of confidence in the de-
struction mot 'reconstruction) COM
mittee, and not subject the numerous
differing views of members, rs men
toned by Mr.. Stevens, to the consi-
dcration of other members tlan those
hostile to such views. The chief OBJ
ject of the star-chambcr conclave will
be 'how not to- give force and effect
to them.
In another article, the lateAiqence1
says:
ssThe patience of this great, free
people is sublime. They will bear
much abuse of power, much neglect
of duty, especially when committed
in the name of liberty. But they
will not submit to military despot-
ism, though intended for rebels.
They Will not permit the great safe
guards of the Constitution to bc
stricken down in the midst Of peace,
and when the last armed foe has fol
two years grounded his musket. And
they will not much longer permit the
enmities of self-seeking politicians to
keep separate two great sections OF
our common country. The fraternal
feeling of this now speciously divided
nation must be speedily restored,
either by the action of Congress OF
in spite of it,

The STATE OF TRADE-The New
York Commercial, commenting upon
various movements in Washington,
political and financial, as disturbing
the money market, says:
1.-The effect upon commercial Gre
dit may be inferred from the fact
that the two largest dry goods Job
bers in this city have opened the
spring trade with terms thirty days
two per cent, which is equivalent
to twenty-four per cent per annum
upon cash transactions. The none
tary stringency at this centre has
naturally induced a corresponding
contraction of credits in the interior.
the effects of which are now apparent
in the failure Of many Western firms
to respond to their maturing obliga-
tions. How far this decentralization
Of credit may effect the spring trade,
it is unnecessary to estimate. Bu-
siness men, however, do not need to
be informed that the extreme late
ness of the opening Of business, and
the prevailing despondency in all
branches oftrade, are due principally
to this cause.
