MrNGEN TIE ETHYOLOGLST.

On Tuesday last Mr.. Mungen Dem, Ohio
undertook to prove to the House of Rcpresen-
tatives "that the Black man is physiologically
different from and inferior to the White
IMAM We have thought Congress to be a
body raised and maintained for the political
government of the country, according to the
Constitution, but this Mr.. Mungen seems to
consider il sort of Academy of Arts and
Sciences, and reads papers to it as if it were
ROYAL Society, or n College of Craniologists.
We protest against this in the very beginning,
because if one Honorable Member is allowed
to lecture upon Ethnology, we shall have
another holding forth upon Chemistry, and
third upon Geology, until somebody may be
calling for Special Committees upon Spiritual
Rappings and Animal Magnetism. The bust
ness of Congress is to make laws, and not to
settle the disputes of the scientific. However
theorists may differ and debate whatever may
be the views of Darwin or Agassiz, or even of
Mr.. Mungcn, we assert that there is only one
kind Of man known TO the Constitution
and the Laws. II is not the business
of legislation to settle the comparative
merits of races, and, exalting the Circassian, to
put down the Mongol- Tartars, pass resolutions
against the Malays, dehumanize the Philippians,
and determine the status of the Indian Ameri-
cans We cannot legslate upon hair. We cam
not call the previous question upon compilations.
We cannot divide the House upon the matter
of high cheek bones. We cannot send eyes,
and noses, and jaws, and facial angles to com
mttee A man. n man this is the simple
formula which must guide us in law making,
and if we should undertake TO establish an ar
istocacy of species, the absurditics and contra
dctons in which we should find ourselves

We have received from gentleman of Vir-
ginia a letter which we believe fairly expresses
the sentiment of large party of the best men
of that State. 1.-The great majority of Virgini-
cans" says our correspondent, particularly
"those who bore the brunt of armed strife,
"beheld with vexation and many misgivings
" the Intellectual efforts of Mr.. johnson to force
"his policy upon reluctant people, and an
"ticpated the result of that great blunder for
(which, be it spoken in all candor they alone
ARE suffering unmerited punishment. &.
"They recognized fully and completely the one
+" important fact with which they have calmly
4" and nationally to deal, that the Republican
"party is the controlling power in the Govern
"ment, and that they must look for the sou-
ton of their troubles TO the recent legislation
" of Congress as definitive of the entire sub
eject Without reserve they accept the stu
cation But with the passing away OF old
Southern notions in political matters there
must come great change in Southern social
and industrial life. Virginia wants an infusion
not only of Northern liberty, but of Northern
thrift and enterprise. "TO secure the earliest
" fruits of the new principles" continues our
correspondent, it is necessary to obtain the In
"telligent and energetic cooperation of Northern
"slill and capital. Come and help us recon
"struct on the new basis"

send it Minister, and ridicules "a
absurd and impertinent the idea that
Mexico should grant such a plea for mercy,
proffered in such way. This is tho tone of
the Mexican answer. and we fear that it ia
true to the spirit of the MexicGn people. BY a
series of surprising bluadefs Mr.. Seward has
succeeded in obtaining, in return for his
appeals for mercy, tbz pleasure of Senior Alta
miranos letter, and If this were all we should
bear our grief u. silence. But he has also sue
ceeded III accusing resentment where he might
easily have cemented friendship; he has
seeTred fiat denial of a just prayer, TO which
ordinary craftsmanship would have obtained
consent; he has made Mexico, that might have
been our warm and faithful ally, jealous and
wrathful nation, feeling for the United States
almost the same Indignation which it cherishes
for Austria and France.

involved would soon put an end to all Con-
gressiOnal business whatever. 1t Is hardy
worth while even for Mr.. Mungen to undertake
to rival the sages of Laputa. These are the
plain common sense views of the case, and all
Others are fanatical, speculative, and destruc-
tive.
Whoever in his vanity or his folly, under
takes to make race the test of political equality
must first encounter and overcome the fact
that in the United States 1--WE have nothing to
do with any other country the moral and IN
tellectual differences between Blacks ana
Whites are not nearly so great as between
Whites and Whites. There is not vice, there
is not an infrmity, there is not a disQualiiica-
ton imputed to the African race Gas here ex-
isting) which may not be found emphatieaDy
exhibited among the Circassians ~ here exist
ing) There is no pretensc 81 setting up any
other than moral dis;inctions, j. e., it is not
| claimed that the African should be excluded
from citizenship, with all its immunities,
simply becadsd ac is black The argument
is that, being black, he is Ignorant OF
stupid, or otherwise incapable. 1t is
evident, therefore, upon these premises, that
color should not be made our standard, but
character, that is, if we are to set up any
standard at all. Tried by this test, we very
much fear that Mr.. Mungen wouldn't be in
Congress tO-day-that tens of thousands OF
whites wOnld be disfranchised throughout the
country-that a great many free and easy char
acters who do business upon their votes would
find their capital suddenly reduced to nothing.
The supelfine theorists should be at least just
and consistent. IL Mr. Mungen demands that
for certain qualities of character the Blacks
should he deprived of citizenship, he will be
neither just nor consistent, nor decently Dem
Ocratic if he OverlOOks or winks at the same
deficiencies and disqualfcations in the Whites;
and yet, if it were proposed to disfranchise one
hundred OF Mr.. Mungen's Democratic cOnstitu-
ents for the identical reasons for which he
would disfranchise all the Blacks, he would
raise such howl of Indignation in the House
that members Of sensitive turn would be
forced TO go out This is all his ethnOlogy
amounts to, and our readers will agree with us
in saying that it amounts to very little.
Somebody has remarked, in writing upon
this subject, that with all his knowledge and
cultivation, and all his lofty pretensiOns, the
"white man is still a savage at heart" The
laws which keep him within the pale of social
duty will be found equally effective in their
operations upon his dusllicr fellow creature,
and il he claims voice in the enactment of
those laws, for the purposes of self-restrant,
the privilege must be conceded to all who are
to come under their influence.

In direct refutation of what has been alleged
against him, to the effect that he looks with
no friendly eye upon the movement for secur-
inc to the freedmen the full rights of Ameri-
can citizens, Gen. Ord, in an order recently
issued by him, gives evidence of his desire and
determination to see justice done TO the blacks
of the Military District Under his command.
He is anxious that every facility should be
afforded to them for registering as voters, and
instructs his subordinates accordingly to dis
abuse their minds of false ideas as to the in
tention and probable effects of registration,
aud to encourage them to register. From the
tenor of his order, it is evident that it would
moi be his fault if the registration lists OF his
district fail to show goodly array OF colored
voters. He sets his face against any Interior
cncc, or intimidation, to prevent the freedmen
from exercising the right which the law gives
them in this matter, requiring that all cases IN
which attempts are made to tamper with the
people shall he reported to him, with view
to .hc punishment of offenders.

II is reported that serious troubles have
broken out in the Austrian province Of Gallicia,
and the troops which were sent to put them
down have been beaten by the rioters. The
origin of their troubles is traced to Russian
emissalies Galicia is inhabited by two differ
ent Sclayic tribes, the Poles and the Ruthenans.
The former are, on the whole friendly TO the
Austrian Government, while the Ruthenans,
who regard themselves as being oppressed by
the Poles, are looking for aid to Russia. AS
the Sclavi constitute by far the most numerous
race of the Austrian Empire, and as, with the
exception of the Poles, all other Sclayic tribes
are greatly disconnected with the Austrian
policy, a continuance of these troubles might
involve a very serious danger TO the empire.

" irresistible y civilization Of Mexico. Having
done fhfs. we should then, to show our opinion
of foreign friendship, have directed our news
nopers to assail such men as John Bright, and
Laboulayc, and Cochin. Take the letter Of
Ignacio NJ Altamirano, member of the Juarez
Cabinet, for model. Should it ever be said
that the sympathy of the large and glorious
Liberal party of France and England aided us
in our war? Never. Let us admit that " the
"tcors of ink shed at the news of our defeats
afforded lis some consolation but let us
rise above any petty exhibition OF gratitude
which would only have been construed to
weakness.
OF the present condition of America, its de-
plorablc peacefulness and its Illuminating rest,
we have not the heart to speak. Rather let us
turn TO Mexico, whose Irresistible" civilizing
principles are to-day the admiration OF the
world and the envy of the true American
statesman. There may be some annoyances.
Some of her honest sons have been shot, Others
are exiled, others wander homeless in tne
mountains. The foreign Ministers are hurry

Republic stands defiant; her principles are IT.

The correspondence, demanded 10y resoiu-
ton of Congress- in reference to the Recon-
struction acts, was sent yesterday to the House
by the Secretary of War, and important e1-
tracts are elsewhere printed. We find that
Mr.. Stanton, in May, issued circu-
lar to the Military Commanders re-
ouesting them to be prepared to suppress
anticipated riots, and that Gen. Grants IN
dorsement gave merely general instructions to
take the necessary precautions. The inter
esting correspondence between Grant
and Sheridan shows that Grant had no
intention of repremanding his subordinate
for the removal of Wells, and that Sheridan
declared that the result of Mr.. Stanberys
opinion was defiant opposition TO the he
construction law. Gen. Grant instructed
him to enforce his own construction oil

.1rDGuEyTs AGAINST THE CITY.

The City Tax Levy passed by the Legisla
ture last Winter contained the item OF s394,65O
for judgments against tie Corporation, and
$1,000 for interest and costs on ,::S Same.
We have just got the bill in detail. and a very
pretty exhibit 1t makes. The suit between
MessIs. Devlin and Platt for possession Of the
Office of City Chamberlain, in 1851, costs us
$4,000. When we did not need either of these
gentlemen, it seems rather hard TO pay such
price for determining which of them should
serve lis. Tile Metropolitan Record recovers
81 900 for advertising who supposes that any
part of that money WAS fairly earned The
Transcript obtained judgments to the amount
of $5S,326 for the same service if the essence
of advertising is publicity, what benefit did
the city derive from this outlay, or for the
S371s4 paid to The Daily Ke,cs George Law
RECEIVERS balance of S90,4Oo on the celebrated
Battery enlargement contract. Over 5000
is on account of stands Of colors presented to
volunteer and militia regiments. But the most
outrageous claims Of all are those of Edward
Jones, for binding, printing, and stationery for
the Common Council There are two bills, one
of $3.50, and the other of S21,719, beside a
charge of $6O,4S9 for publishing that disgrace
full swindle known as the history of the Lin
"coln Obsequiesr book which ought to bring
q perpetual blush to the face OF every
man who had anything TO do with it, Grand
total for Mr.. Edward Jones, SOL ,9if.
Our readers probably know pretty well how
most of these judgments are obtained. The
Common Council is forbidden by law to spend
more than certain specified sums for specified
purposes. In defiance of this prohibition they
60 on incurring liabilities long after the ap
preparation is exhausted, leaving the creditors
to sue for their money. Some of the claims, nc
doubt, are just and ought to be paid, the service
having been rendered in good faith; but in
the majority of cases nobody doubts that there
is corrupt understanding beforehand, and il
is not at all impossible that utterly unwar-
rantable suits are allowed TO go by default.
We look to the Constitutional Convention for
remedy; we despair of finding one anywhere
else

and the Fenians The bill was passed, the
most important change being the substitution
of the first section of the original House bill
for that of the Senate; the sections are to
same general effect. The other amend
ments also did not change the intent, but
the phraseology, the House desiring to express
more strongly that commanders and officers of
registration shall not be bound 10y any opinion
of civil officers of the United States. The bin
was sent to the Senate, and in evening session
debated None of the amendments were passed,
and the bill was finally referred to Confer
cpce Committee. The Committee will meet to-
day, and we apprehend little difficulty in the
adjustment of the disputed questions
