this platform, leaving the question of negro
suffrage to the several States, the Republicans
last year gained their greatest Victories
greater than the victories of Lincoln But
with the rejection of the amendment by the
Rebel States Congress took the bold ground of
prescribing for them new conditions of rec)n-
struotion, embracing under a supervising
military dictatorship, universal negro suffrage
and white Rebel acknowledgements which in
evitably point to negro supremacy in the
reorganization of the Rebel States.
This unexpected and dangerous revolution
airy experiment has given the definite voice to
the California election, whatever may be the
superficial explanations Of the defeated party.
Iublic opinion is crystalized against that
ultra-revolutionary joint Committee of Safety
which has undertaken, not only to recon-
struct the South, but the general Govern
ment itself, on a system which proposes to
abolish the Executive Department and the es-
sential reserved legislative powers of the
several States. There is also beginning to
be strong active public sentiment against
that Federal political machine organized
and put in operation by Mr.. Chase in his
national bank system, and fully maintained
by McCulloch, under which these banks
receive bounties or perquisites amounting
to twenty. five or thirty millions a year,
extracted from the packets of the people,
and under which we are threatened with a
moneyed Oligarchy more powerful and cor
rupt, and more grasping and insolent, than
ever was the slaveholding oligarchy of the
South in the height of its demoralizing reign.
However patriotic Mr.. McCulloch and his
chief engineers of the Treasury may be, how
ever pure may be those beautiful nymphs of
the industrious band of feminine operatives in
the Department, the system under which the
Treasury and our financial affairs is managed
needs retrenchment and reform, and the people
| begin to feel it. From the causes we have
recited a counter revolution has set in against
the radical excesses, and experiments, and
destructive schemes of the Republican party;
and the movement will now go on. We should
not be surprised if it were soon to assume the
rushing force of the Niagara rapids, and swiftly
bear the party in power into the abyss of the
Horseshoe Fall. Ifrevolutions never go back
wards, this counter revolution against our
ultra revolutionary radicals must run its
course to the organization of new national
party, maintaining together the great issues
settled by the late war and the form of gov
eminent established in the Federal Consti-
tuition.

The Russlan UltLmatuln.

From the ~ Y. Tribune
The crisis in the Eastern question has come
at last. The Ambassador of Russia at Con-
stantinople, Ignatief, as we learn by especial
Cable despatch to the Tribune, has, in the
name of his Government, made formal de-
mand for the cession of Crete to Greece, and
for the bestowal of equal rights upon all the
Christian subjects of the Porte. These de-
mands are declared to be the ultimatum OF
the Russian Government, and an answer is
asked for within ten days.
Supposing the cable despatch to be entirely
oorrect-as we have no doubt it is--the great
turning point in the history Of Eastern ku-
rope has been reached. Whatever answer
the Porte may give to the Russian ultimatum,
the power of the last Mohammedan dynasty In
Europe will be forever broken. Should the
demand be granted, Crete be united with

The Southern Future.

From the ". Y Times
Ahere Is much unnecessary gloom and wall
ing IN the South. 1t chiefly proceeds from the
politicians, who, having always lived by Office
or by bloekade-running, hastened to Washing
ton to obtain dispensaton, and thus labored
to repair the broken hgaments of party.
These predatory adventurers, deprived Of
Office and Of the possibility of Office. utter loud
howls of despairing rapacity, and declare the
South ruined because they are no longer on
the payroll.
The South has great power and reserved
resources, no less important to themselves
than to US. There are, however, some errors
SO constantly taught by the place-hunters, that
the whole people begin to believe they are true.
One of these errors is that the South is to pass
under the domination of the freedmen. All
sensible men in the South have acquiesced in
legal and political emancipation. The indica-
tions are undoubted that no determinations OF
these rights win be embodied in the law or in
the dealings between white and black. The
ensuing election will terminate much of the
excitement, for the indifference of the poll
ticians 10 the voter after the election is noto.

operative will then adjust themselves.
But the apprehension Of colored supremacy
has entered into the popular mind here as wsll

The Counter REVOLUTION Coming ut Last.

From the ". Y. Herald
1t is an old axiom that revolutions never
go backward;" but it is none the less true that
when revolutionary movement is pushed
beyond its legitimate ends, the party concerned
init is demolished by popular reaction. 1t
was so when the great F,enoh Revolution Of
1889 fell into the hands of the Jaoobins, ard
when they attempted to shape it according to
their monstrous notions of "liberty, equality,
and fraternity" An equally decisive reaction
followed the Puritanical excesses of the Crom-
wellian Commonwealth of England in the
restoration of the monarchy and the Stuarts.
How the great American Revolution marked
by the most gigantic and the bloodiest civil
war in the history Of mankind, and resulting
in the extinction of the late Southern slave
holding oligarchy, with the abolition of
slavery, is to be finally shaped, is a question
for time to determine. We think, however,
from recent events and all the signs of the
times, that it may be safely assumed that this
great revolution has reached its eliminating
point, and that a counter revolution of public
opinion against the destructive schemes of the
ruling radical faction has fairly set in.
The remarkable results of the late California
election are but larger and a ripening deve-
lopment of the same underlying causes which
DSBdA w iIu AplS6olOh db blO SOhAOCtlCuL
election last spring. The concurrent voice
from the recent territorial election in Montana
indicates the widening influence of the same
general causes, and Mondays election in
Maine substantially tells the same story. The
overwhelming success of the Republicans of
Maine last year, on the largest popular vote
ever polled in the State, on the platform of the
pending constitutional amendment as the
policy of Congress against the reconstruction
theory of President Johnson, we accepted as
an infallible indication of the voice of all the
Northern States in favor of Congress; and so
it turned out to be, from New York to the far
West, by results analogous to the results in
Maine.
But what is this constitutional amendment,
upon which the popular judgment of the great
North was so emphatioally given last year in
favor of Congress and the Republican party
1t is an amendment which provides, among
other things, for the disfranchisement of Ger,
tain leading Rebels, subject to a two-thirds
vote of Congress, and which provides that
each of the States itself may elect whether /.
will have, and how far it win have, negro
representation with negro suffrage, or how far,
in counting its people for representation in
Congress, twill sacrifice its blacks in exclud-
ing them from the right of suffrage. Upon

The PardOning Poyver OF the Presldent

The PardOning Power of the PresId ent,
From the ~ Y. World.
Whether President Johnson has exceeded
his powers in issuing the new amnesty procla-
nation is evidently different question from
whether the proclamation is a wise and we'll
timed exercise of authority. 1t is the first of
these questions only which we propose to dis
ouss in this article; reserving the second.
The Times has long article denying the
right of the President, in which it says of tne
proclamation -
''It is deliberate defiance otsCongress and It's
authority, reputation of us enacted laws
and an assertion of the Presidents determina
ton to take the work Of reconstruction into his
own hands. IL is an attempt to abrogate the
conditions of reconstruction prescribed by Com
gress, and TO invest the Rebel element with the
means OF breaking down the restraints which
have been pTudenty imposed on the prelimi-
nary workings of reconstruction. IL is an lnso-
lent use of a power which Congress- in Deeem.
Der last, explicitly took away. Mr.. Lincoln
sought and obtained legislation to authorize his
ptCciamations of limited pardon and amnesty;
MT Johnson dares to proclaim almost univer-
sal pardon and amnesty, although the measure
under which Mr.. Lincoln acted has been specid-
cally repealed. Congress has sOlemnly said that
no such proclamation shall be issued; Mr. John
sen nlngs the opinions Of Blnckley and Black
Ia the lace OF Congress and the country, and
Claims for his will the authority of the supreme
law. WHAT more fagrant form could executive
usurpation take short of dicLatorship2'
This is rather specimen of raving than Of
reasoning. 1t is quite true that Congress, last
winter, repealed that section of the Confsca-
tion act which undertook to confer on the
President authority to issue amnesty procla-
nations; but as the President possesses this
authority by the Constitution Independently
of Congress, the repeal is of no consequence
except as signifying the will of Congress that
he shall not exercise one Of his constitutional
pTerogatives. But what right has Congress
to say that the President shall not do what the
Constitution says he may dog The Times,
with surprising hardihood, or more sur
prising ignorance, attirms that President
Lincoln sought authority from Congress- to
issue his limited amnesty proclamation. So
far from seeking such authority, he pre-
pared veto of the bill which pretended to
confer it. He did not, indeed, intend to veto
il on that ground, but in the course of the
message he alluded to the section pretending
0 confer this grant Of power in terms Of

or very nearly onetenth of the total.
Whoever, therefore, asserts that we can
never pay fairly and fully, does so in the teeth
OF the fact that in the last two years, with a
large military force, nearly half our country
ravsged by four years of desolating civil war,
our industry disorganized, ten States out of
gear, the passions of the late conflict still
active, and with Ioor harvests, we have paid a
tithe of the sum, and that without thereby
sending one child hungry to bed.
OF course, we can do far better henceforth.
''lt is the first step that costs,' and we have
taken that bravely and successfully. When
any villain suggests some Shiny mode of
cheating the national creditors, let us say,
"Get thee behind me, Satan!' and press
steadily on!

SKUNKs DESTROY HONEY BEEs.-Mr.
M. S. Snow, Forestville, Chautauqua Co.,
N. T., reports to the American Agricul-
turist an original observation in regard to
the fact stated in the he aiding of this arti-
Gle. He writes:
1t is well known fact that skunks
dig out the nests of the humble bee, taking
the bees, but leaving the honey undis-
turbed. There is hardly a farmer or
farmers son, but has met with their
work while going about the pastures and
meadows. But it will surprise people to
know that they will attack bees in their
hives and eat them readily, as though they
were harmless as flies. This occurs when
the hives are near the ground, or within
their reach. They carry on the work
dextrously. If no bees are outside, and
the pickets are withdrawn, they will actu-
ally stick their noses into the hives and
snuff, to bring them to sense of their
duty and when they come out they will
take them right and left. At other times
they scratch upon the hive to accomplish
the desired effect. Those who keep hives
near the earth, and find the alighting
board soiled, and the grass or earth
scratched over, may be sure that skunks
have been at the bees. This is matter
of my own original observation.

Frnsr ADVICE TO A MARRIED Coup.

FIRST ADVICE TO MARRIED CouP-
LE.-First, there must be no anxiety
about livelihood. Whatever the income
on which you can rely, resolutely live
within it, resolutely keep surplus ahead,
resolutely keep out of debt. This is the
first condition. There is no enjoyment at
home, or of the thousand beautiful things
in this world, with the anxiety of power
ty. Live poor, work hard, forego all lux
uries and any attempt at elegance, until
you have achieved the practical indepen-
dence of an honest and assured subsis-
tence.
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1867-01-18

A Wires INFLUENcE.-You fancy,
perhaps, as you have been told so often,
that wife's rule should only be over her
husbands house, not over his mind. All
no, the true rule is just the reverse of
that. A true wife in her husbands house
is his servant; it is in his heart that she
is queen. Whatever of best he can con-
ceive it is her part to be; whatever of
highest he can hope it is hers to promise |;
all that is dark in him she must purge in
to purity all that is failing in him she
must strengthen into truth; from her,
through all the worlds clamor, he must
win his praise; in her, through all the
worlds warfare, he must find his peace.
