The Policy of Concession.


fact that the manner in which the
Jacobins in CONGRESS- have received
She proposition for the restoration Of
the States, said to have been agreed
upon by the President and some OF
the Southern Governors, should be
enough to satisfy the people of the
excluded States that every concession
made by them to radical prejudioes
but weakens their cause and multi
plies the demands of their enemies.
The position Of the Courier is cor
rect. The plan referred to is sub
stantially that of the constitutional
amendment, dropping its most odious
feature-the prescription of Confede-
rate leaders. 1t grants negro suf-
frage, the inviolability of the ma
tional debt, and declares the Union
perpetual. What more could reason
ably be asked? The answer is simply
that the major portion of the white
population shall be disfranchiscd-in
q word, that while the negroes are
admitted to the right Of suffrage, the
whites shall be excluded. It is stated
that this very proposition Of the Pre-
sident and Southerners was the cause
Of the presentation and adoption Of
Williams nefarious scheme, which
Thad. Stevens fathered and forced
through the House
We have already published the
substance Of this malignant scheme,
devised by the Jacobins for the
humiliation Of the South, and from
it they Will not be driven so long as
therc is a hope of victory. Every
concession, the Courier says, that is
made by the South, raises their
hopes for further concessions and
encourages them to make fresh and
more stringent demands.
The true policy Of the South, is to
make no propositions whatever. She
cannot so dishonor herself, as to con-
sent that the mark of degradation
shall be fixed upon the noble men
who led her people in that great
struggle, which has made the world
ring with their heroic deeds, and
they may be assured that the
Northern mind is not now in con
ditioa to agree to any settlement that
does not involve that disgrace. The
burdens that are put upon them,
they can bear SO long as they pre-
serve their self-respect and their
honor; but these sacrificed, their con
dition would be pitiable indeed.
Nothing the South can do or say will
change in the slightest degree the
resolute purpose Of the Jacobins to
strip them of every particle of
political power. They may fail in
their schemes, but it will not be be-
cause the South complains or makes
partial concessions. These but in
crease their appetite Tor vengeance.
and incite them to further aggres,
sions.
SEPARATE BILLS. The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore SIN
states that it is deemed not improba-
BILE that separate bills, applicable TO
the several States, (as in the case of
Louisiana,) will take the place of the
general reconstruction bill cit is
known that bills for the States sepa-
rately are in the course of preparation

Is IT TRUE?-The National Repub-
lica', Of Friday, has the following
item:
1--WE learn, with regret, that Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens was seized, yester-
day, with a sudden and serious
illness, which indicated that his ply
steal strength is greatly prostrated. y
What cause, in the name of COM
mon sense, has the National RepubH-
can to regret" the sudden ailment of
Stevens? Some down this way would
wish that it was the premonitor of
his easy exit to another and-happier
world!

FENIAN RIsING.-The New York
Herald, of Friday, has the following
special cable despatch, dated Dublin,
14th instant:
Important news has been received
in this city from the South of Ireland,
to the effect that the Fenians made a
rising" this morning, at Killarney,
in the County of Kerry, and marched
towards Kenmare.
British troops, with force Of an
tillery, are in pursuit of the enemy
Kerry is q maritime County in the
Southwest of Ireland, with the es-
tuary Of the Shannon River as its
Northern boundary, the Atlantic
Ocean on its Western edge, and the
Counties of Limerick and Cork form
ing its Southern and Eastern bound
ary. Its population is about 100000
persons, a large proportion of whom
speak only the Irish tongue. The
region is extremely wild, rugged and
mountainous.
The tewn Of Killarney, where the
rising" is said to have taken place,
is situated near the centre of the
County Kerry, on the famous lake of

Southern Presbyterian Churches.

We learn from the Baltimore SIN,
of Thursday, that a meeting was held
in that city at the Franklin Street
Church. Oh Monday. evening, for
the purpose of taking steps for aid
ing the suffering Presbyterian
churches and ministers in the South
The meeting was opened with
prayer, aud then addressed by the
Rev. J. Leighton Wilson, Secretary
Of the Board Of Susteutation in the
South. DR.. Wilson made known
the condition Of the Southern
churches and minister's He stated
that about 153 churches had been de
stroyed, or so mnch injured during
the war as to be Of nc use IN their
present condition, and that of the
1,50O Presbyterian churches in the
South, one-third Of them would pro
badly become extinct unless some i'm
mediate aid is obtained for them out
side of their own limits. He made
a full explanation of the condition Of
the churches and the necessity of
giving immediate help.
After other addresses, the follow
lug ICSOlullOuS were OIISrCu.
Resoiced, That every effort should
be made to aid our suffering Presby-
terian churches in the South.
Resolred. That with view to raise
the means required, the chairman be
authorized to appoint a committee of
such number as he may deem best,
who shall have power to increase their
number and take all necessary steps

sons as they may deem best calculated
to raise present and future aid in be-

The resolutions were unanimously

Of forty or more gentlemen, at the
