Southern Reconstrnction-The Power and the
Programme Of Secretary stanton.
Has the age Of miracles returned! One
would think so from the amazing political events
almost daily transpiring around us. How, for
example, short Of some miraculous agency,
can we account for the extraordinary fraterni-
zation on Monday last at Columbia, the State
capital Of South Carolina, Of whites and blacks
at political colored meeting for the celebra-
tion OF the enfranchisement of the coiored race.
This meeting, by invitation, was addressed by
General Wade Hampton 0he owner only the
other day Of over thousand negro slaves), w.
i. Dessaussure, and other leaders of the ruling
white class Of the Palmetto State, and by Rev.
David Pickett and Beverly Nash, black men.
That the best spirit of harmony prevailed on
this novel occasion between these late white
masters and black slaves on this new platform
Of civil and political equality is evident from
the fact that the black speaker Nash, on behalf
Of his race, promised petition to Congress to
repeal the white rebel acknowledgements in the
laws of Southern reconstruction which deprive
the blacks Of the political services q those in
whom they have the greatest confidence.
Now the question recurs, what can be the
secret.of this wonderful fraternization Of Wade
Hampton, the embodiment Of Southern white
chivalry, and Beverly Nash, the representative
Of Hampton's emancipated black slavess We
think we have the explanation at hand. In
the ten excluded States Census of 1867 the
population of each was thus divided-except-
ing rough estimate for Virginia deducting
the new State Of West Virginia.

be proposed during the present session. This
ance Of job and is full of imperfections.
But good or bad, il is inexpedient to enact it
into law at this time. The State Constitu-
tional Convention, which is now certain to be
held, will beyond doubt lay down a system of
government for this city which, to be efficient,
economical and satisfactory to the people, must
entirely change the existing system. The
wharves and piers, as well as all other city
property, will then probably be placed in the
hands of Department OF Public Works, and
all the present Independent commissions will
give place to departments responsible to one
executive head. Any machinery that may now
be put in motion by the Legislature will there
fore be liable to be altered or interrupted by the
operation of the new system, and the expense
attendant upon the change will be an urneces-
sary charge upon the taxpayers. The people
of New York who are interested in the pros
perity Of the city do not ask for any Of these
tinkering jobs at the hands Of the present
Legislature. The applicants for the Piers and
Whaves bill, and for all the other schemes at
Albany at this time, are only the spectators
and lobbyists, who hope to make a profit out
Of them. They are looking to their own pock-
cts and not to the real interests Of the city and
of the taxpayers. The Legislature should re-
fuse to favor these jobs, and should leave the
whole question OF city reform in the hands Of
the Convention Of Revision.

decided at Raleigh that The stay law, even

First, that the laws OF the laad. and a.
handed down to US through its sages and de-
cisions, are to be administered BY its accus-

any other power; and secondly, that within
his jurisdiction (of which, Of course. alone

iiu! the tact that it does 80, nov causes grief
to macy Iowa RADICALS who were Jealous in

fault is not that the law excludes rebels

1t IS with this view OF it, that the St Louis
Democrat, the leading radical organ in mis-
souri,, sa}s:
Michael Hahn, Governor Of Louisiana
| under the Banks organization, was refused
registration The other day, because he had
gwen voluntary aid to the rebellion." 1t
i. alleged that he signed circular letter nd
vising res's'anee TO the federal government,
ana made the presentation speech when the
the ladies p ssented flag to one Of the rs,
lebel regiments raised IL New Orleans. But
