East and the Wess. The reinforcement
OF the dominant party which has ruled
with so high hand, the restoration OF
the Constitution 10 all its vigor, and the
repeal Of all unconstitutional legislation
by the thirty-ninth and foriieth Com
crosses, are the expected results conse.
qnent upon this popular reaction.
The Presidents amnesty proclamation
is looked upon as a well-timed and
severe hit at the Radicals; and though
II has no legal effect while the recon-
struction acts are in force, il is, never
theless, regarded supreme under the
powers conferred upon the President by
the Constitution. 1t is believed to wipe
out all offenses committed and emu
merated, and places the recipient
precisely where he would have stood
had he never committed any ofense
at all. The question is now argued
= can Congress, by its own laws,
while confessedly acting outside the Con-
stitution, defeat the objects Of the Presi.
dent while acting clearly within the
limits of his constitutional power In
any case, no effect will be realized from
it at present; but it is thought the ques-
ton above will be one Of the main issues
at the North in the coming elections,
and will be a strong card in the hands of
the Democrats against the Republicans.
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1867-09-21

I6r The Herald states that the Radi
cal organs of New York city have lost
one.third of their subscribers during the
last three months; and that this falling
off is in consequence Of the dissatifac'
ton of prudent business men and intelli'
gent, fair. minded citizens with the vio-
lent trades and bloody revolutionary
schemes of the extreme radicals, who
are ready to plunge the country into all
sorts of dangers and difficulties rather
than lose possession Of the spoils of the
government 1t is an indication of the
reaction that is going on all over the
Union, and that will soon appear in
Pennsylvania and New York, just the
same as it has been seen already in Cali
fornia and Maine"
Another circumstance showing the
same thing is the manner in which the
boldest of the radical leaders, Wendell
Phillips, speaks of Grant, Chase, and
others, who are engineering for the
Presidency. The radicals are divided,
and there is maxim that the house
which is divided against itself must fall.
Here is what Phillips says about Chase !:
believe myself that Mr.. Chase's am.
bition is satisfied But it is idle to
speculate upon any chances he (Chase)
would have. He has no support outside
of the national banks, and that is an
isolated influence, / think Jay Cooke
and the other financial kings of the
country are making desperate efforts to
bring him forward as a candidate. But
one thing his friends have lost for Chase
that is the sympathy of the radicals,
and Chase himself is too radical to win
the sympathy of the conservatives; and
so between these two stools he will fall
to the ground. ! do not think these
friends of his are able either to have
him nominated or elected. Chase him
self belongs to the radical section of the
Republicans, and it is nothing but the
presidential fever that tempts his friends
to retain him, if possible, in the conserv-
alive section of that party in the hope of
gaining its support for their man. Chase
does not belong there. His whole life
ia the past would rather rank him with
Sumner and Stevens than with such men
as Fessenden and Sherman. AS / said
before, between these two parties-tke
conservative and radical sections of the
Republican party-Chase must come to,
the wall.

Reg A New York correspondent
writing from Richmond, Va, under date
September u, speaks as follows as to
the effect of the late elections, and the
amnesty; and we will add the effect of
the press, which, while many despaired
and doubted its usefulness, has con-
tinued to vindicate truth and right,
which mainly through its influence is
beginning to PREVAIL
Since the California and Maine cleo.
tons have developed the fact that a
reaction is rapidly taking place in the
Northern mind, the people here begin to
exhibit warm and lively interest in all
matters pertaining to the political future
of the country.
The old do nothing or passivist "
policy is abandoned, with the prospective
demise Of the party whose reign inaugn-
rated it, and once more the slumbering
but powerful energies Of the Democracy
are awakened into new life; starting
afresh with a vigor and energy that
brooks no opposition, sees no defeat, and
with resolve to assume that sway in the
political destinies of the couHtry which
is claimed almost as its right by heritage.
The effect of the news is amazing in
the extreme, and the observer is puzzled
to know with what extraordinary rapid
iiy. as If by electricity, the change has
taken place so visible in the gen.
eral aspect here. Gloom and depression
havegiven place to brighter prospects and
lighter spirits; faces on the street wear a
happy expression not seen before since
the halcyon days Of 1861, when the peo'
pie anticipated glorious future; discus
sion and general chat assumes a more
animated and warm nature on the cor
ners around the public places, and
chiefly at the bulletin boards, where the
"elad tidings" are the first read even
business, lAtterly 90 stagnant, seems to
be affected by the general hilarity, and
today a scene Of hustle, Of merchants,
bankers and clerks rapidly passing and
repassing each other; Of drays, wagons
and carts; Of crowded street cars aud
full stores, is presented, which perfectly
/ bewiiders the uninitiated 10 such degree
/ that he imagines be went 10 sleep IN q
graves ard a few DAYS since aud woke up
| in a thriving commercial metropolis.
The white people here see with unmis-
taxable clearness and foresight that the
great Democratic gains in the two
extremes Of the North-the golden coast
Of California, on the Pacific, aud the
bleak, grin shores Of Maine, washed by
the waters Of the Atlautic-are, without
doubt, the result Of a total Revision Of
