The Oracle is at it again. He perceives
"weathercocl' Inconsistency in condemning
the bailing of JEFF. Davis and approving the
proposition to permit the Southerners disquali-
fed from voting to become voters on taking an
oath that for the last three months they have
supported the Reconstruction laws, and will
continue to support them. This wonderful
Oracle no doubt thinks this would open the
way to the ballOt-b box for jeff. Davis. If jeff.
Davis has been and will be the supporter of
the Reconstruction laws, it doubtless would;
but IL takes an Oracle TO discover the danger
lurking in the plan, and the Inconsistency of
which they who condemned the bailing of JEFF.
Davis are guilty in approving It, for nobody
not endowed with less wisdom than our Ora
Gle could have the news that Davis and Thad
Stevens have been all the while, and are still,
acting together.
There are in the South a large number of
true and loyal men, who, by the terms of the
Reconstruction laws, are disfranchised. Last
week Senator Wilson prepared bill relieving
by name some hundred and fifty of that class
from this disability. Thousands more are lust
as deserving, but to search them all out or for
them to present themselves for special enact
ment, would be impracticable. With the view
of getting at way whereby all these cases
would be reached, the Tribune proposed the
above oath, and we believe it was the Tribune
that said that no one but born blockhead
would suggest that it could work injury to
anybody or anything in the interest of loyalty
or justice, while it would be a stroke of
simple justice to large class of as true men
as live.
The Republicans in Congress are prepared
to go still farther in this direction, and we call
the Oracle's attention to one fact on this
point. The Tennessee delegation in Congress
Except Patterson) have united in a petition
to the Legislature of their State to repeal a
portion of the Franchise law. They say
To the Senate and House of Representatives
o Tennessee
The under signed, citizens of the Sta'e, your
const tuents and personal and political friends
repeal the sixteenth section OF the Franchise
act, thus giving full effect to the principle on
which is based our restored State Govern mentS
by obltterating from the statute books the last
vestige OF legislation which imposes disabilities
where there has been no blame, and which
neither time nor merit can remove. 1t would
graf fy us and we feel sure IL would crafty the
great body of your constituents, to know thai
you had acted in this matter promptly anC
unanimously, and as in duty bound wewil
"Washington, Dec 7.
(SigI ed) "Joseph s. Fowler, Horace Maynard
W. b. Stokes James Mullins, A. ID. Mum
John Trimble, Samuel M. Arneil."
The above was prepared after a full con
ference with the Republicans in both Houses
of Congress, and is the initial step to a general
policy which doubtless is destined to encounter
the terrible rebuke of Sir Oracle.

pev.Iopm,n,. IN enc south.

Ffom ne ~. Y. Herald
Although some Of our contemporaries seem
10 find CLEANS of sunshine in the condition Of
Me South, we confess that no such desirable
Higns are presented to our view. 1t is true
that fine conservative demonstrations have
Sust occurred in Richmond, in Macon, Ca, in
Mobile, in Little Rock Ark, and elsewhere.
Conservative clubs are in process of organiza-
lion in the Carolinas, as well as in some Of the
other unreconstruoted States.
1t is stated that Florida has chosen an anti
radical majority to her constitutional eonven-
ventions General Hancock the military com
mander in New Orleans, has also thrown
new and more congenial feeling into the ad-
ninistration of affairs in Louisiana. But no
one whose eyes are open can fail to observe
Indications of a determination on the part of
Congress to enforce its extreme doctrine of
Southern reconstruction. This is bad enough
II no other unpleasant cloud obscured the view
20 happier days for the South. Yet we find
that the Alabama Convention has adjourned
and presented a constitution for the sufrages of
the people of that unreconstructed State-or
those who are favored with the elective fran
Chise-containingp provisions abhorrent to every
respectable and responsible white man living
within its borders. We also know that black
supremacy conventions are now in session
an Georgia and Louisiana, that others will
shortly assemble in Mississippi and Arkansas,
and that so far from expecting reason and
federation from those bodies, the reverse can
only be expected Moreover, we have ac-
counts of unspeakable distress among both
whites and blacks throughout the once
fertile Southern domains. These accounts
are accompanied by others which ex-
hibit the lamentable lengths to which
Northern radicalism has progressed in
prostrating commerce, destroying agriculture,
sundering family ties, uprooting civil law, and
in seducing the ignorant blacks into the belief
that no more labor is due from them, that
they have worked long enough, and that the
inheritance of the whites, once their masters,
becomes now their own. The fact that con-
spiracies exist to carry out their ideas is no
longer doubted. Names, places, and dates to
that effect are in the hands of the authorities,
and that great mischief is meditated cannot be
doubted. In view of these developments,
occurring every day, we say we confess we
cannot discern the CLEANS of sunshine through
the black Southern clouds which some of our
contemporaries, with all the keenness of their
optics, allege they have discovered. But

the heel of radicalism be firm, let them keep
up their courage let them be patient, and
await the hour of their complete redemption,
which every sign portends will occur within a
tWelvemonth.
