The TWO Policies.

Speaker Celfax, in his recent sere-
made speech at Washington, thus
felicitously compares the reconstruc-
ton policies of the President and of
Congress:
All parties agree that he (Presi-
in his North Carolina proclamation of
May, 1865. he sdeclared that all the
civil governments of the South had
been destroyed by the rebellion. He
then, without calling Congress to-
gether, went on with the work of re-
construction, in the absence of all
lrw upon the subject. Has Congress
made State governments subordinate
to the military power? So did the
President. Has Congress provided
for the calling of State Conventions?
So did the President. Has Congress
authorized their ratification? So did
the President. But he ordered con-
ventions by his executive fat, and
| recognized their constitutions without
their being submitted to the people.
Congress required the people-the
registered voters-to call a nve
ton themselves, and then to approve
or reject their work by a popular vote.
Has Congress required the ratifca-
ton of a Constitutional amendment?
So did the President. Has Congress
established a test oath? So did the
President. Our crime is, [ suppose,
that we provided that those whom
the nation had made free should have
the freeman's ballot for their protec-
ton, while the President did not.
But the results of his policy strik-
ingly contrast with the results of ours.
The nation looked on to see what
fruits would result from his action,
and what were they? In nearly
every State the rebel power resumed
its authority, and became dominant In
their executive, legislative and judici-
al departments. The vagrant and
labor laws, virtually re-enslaving the
emancipated, followed, and murders,
outrages, riots, ripened the
whole. Loyal men were under the foot,
and the reviviied spirit Of rebellion was
triumphant. With our duty to our
country. and on our oaths, we could
not affirm and legalize this policy;
hence the legislative action we have
since taken. Approved in the past,
as we have been, | can not doubt even
a more triumphant endorsement here
after. The President appeals to the
ballot box, and so do we, and by its
decision are willing to stand or fall"

correct, it is obvious that there should

present general policy of Congress,

Suffrage.

The Sandusky Register has the following
sensible article on the suffrage question.
Ohio would give one hundred thousand
majority for manhood suffrage if every voter
would be induced to ask himself what his
objections are, and then to analyze those OBJ
ieclions. Every man who deals honestly
with himself is compelled to admit that in
opposing manhood suffrage he obeys, not
reason or justice, but prejudice against
color which has its origin in Slavery, and
which we shall be ashamed of in ten years
from now. Do what we will we can make
no argument against enfranshisiDg colored
men, which would not if carried out change
our republic TO an oligarchy. We are in
formed that the colored racr is inferior to the
white, and therefore should not share in the
government. Did any Democrat or doubt
ing Republican ever stop to examine the To-
gic of the above proposition? Is it part
of the policy and duty of the American peo-
pie to disfranchise inferior races?" If so,
what degree of inferiority is necessary to
demand disfranchisement? If we may dis
franchise race because of its inferior mem
tai power and personal beauty, why may we
not disfranchise classes for the same grave
reasons? Minorities are "inferior" to maiori-
ties-why may we not disfranchise all min
orities2 Again, some colored men are men,
tally and physically superior to some white
men; why not apply the great Democratic
principle here by enfrancbising the superior
and disabling the inferior?
The very fact that auy race in our midst
is weaker than the dominant one, is the
strongest possible reason for protecting the
weaker race by the freeman's weapon, the
ballot We do not take the control of gov
ernment, nor the shaping of our national
destiny out of the hands Of the Saxon race
by comforting equal rights upon colored men,
who are aud ever must be, small fraction
of our whole people.

The election of Congressman in Ken

that State being the last stronghold Of
the rebel Conservatism, we are not sur
prised to learn that the Estate Rights

The returned rebels of Kentucky have
frequently, within the last few months
been indulging in the amusement of
numbering negroes and otherwise NAL
treating loyal whites and freedmen, and
now we learn that a military force sent
to arrest some of these negro murder
ers was successfully resisted and driven
off by mob at Lexington, on Friday
last two of the party (the Lieutenant
commanding and a private being woun-
ded. Such acts prove that Kentucky
is sadly in need of reconstruction, and
may lead Congress at the next session
to take into consideration the policy of
bringing the State under the operation

affairs exist should go Democratic.

premium) with that he buys or builds
his house, and pays five dollars monthly
with simple interest on his loan, till al
the members who desire it, have been
furnished with loans on similar terms.
When, by the payment of monthly
dues, and the profits on loans, the shares
shall be paid for, they will each equal
one loan, and will cancel one loan. The
shares will be considered at par when
the securities and money in the hands Of
the Association will divide SO as to give
twohundred dollars to each share holder.
Thus the institution becomes really a
Savings Bank,in which each person be-
comes stockholder and realizes for the
use of his money all that the money is
worth for building purposes, which is
always high rate of interest," SO that
shareholders who do not propose to
build now, can find no better investment
for their money than the Building Asso-
citation. The plan can result in nothing
but good to cur city and it will furnish
hundreds of industrious poor who now
pay ten or twelve dollars per month for
rent with permanent and comfortable
homes of their own.

full operation in Cleveland, Toledo and
several smaller cities in the State. Ii
is the design of the association to ena-
bIe persons of small means-who have
to pay high rates of rent, in proportion
to the accommodation furnished-to
borrow money enough to buy or build
snug little home, and pay for it in
monthly dues, which would not amount
TO more in the aggregate, yearly, than
their rents now amount to.
This association will not be an exper,
iment. Similar ones have been in oper-
alton for several years in the Eastern
States, and many men now own houses,
who under the rent system, would still
be tenants after having paid monthly
sums equal to those which have, by the
association, made them householders.
The plan is as follows. The number Of
shares is limited to one thousand.
A share is two hundred dollars.
Every member shall pay for each share
taken by him one dollar per month.
For each share taken he has the priv
iIege of taking "a loan" from the Asso-

If intelligence received by way of Eu'

of Brazil has furnished new evidence o.
his title to be regarded as one of the
most emil ghtened monarchs of the age,
by decreeing the abolition of slavery in
his dominions, on basis that will re-
suit in the entire removal of the institu-
tion in twenty years. Thus, the. .princip-
al feature which has made Brazil so at
tractive as an asylum to "played OUT
''Confederates," is "in process of ulti-
mate extinction"
