Is Drunkenness on Excuse for

Isdrunkenness any excuse for murder
or for violence Of any sort z Lord
Brougham held that it was an ag-
gravatioE of the oriminality. Ho said
One sees with astonishment and in-
dignation, in cases before magistrates
in the country, intoxication urged in
extenuatjon of offences, whereas it is
q gross aggravation, No magistrate
is entitled to suffer one such word to-
be uttered before him on the part oT
the accused. Any magistrate is bound
to stop the party or bis advocate tho
instant he begins on this, and to tell
him that if intoxicated, be must
suffer a punishment more severe, and
the magistrate is further bound 10
take IL into his consideration when
the prosecutor has stated Il in exz
plating the circumstances ofthe case.
Il il undeniable that a most whole
some effect would be producod by the
general impression being mndo that
drunkenness, though by ksw ii may
not be liable TO punishHfonf, except
by small pecuniary penalty, vet
makes offences to which ia has given

The President said, to promi

in recent interviews, that the worst thing
he ever did in his life was to pardon Mayor
Monroe of New-Orleans, and then sustain
him in his wicked career. He indicated

pressed any regrets at his own connection

the State and that his career in the

the State and that his career in the
Legislature did more to impair its fair
standing, than that of any other man
who has held a seat in it. These are
notorious facts, and we speak of them
because they are notorious and for
a man thus conditioned to make such
au ado about corruption and bribery
against others, seems bold to say the
least of it, and especially so, when
he has been called upon to substan-
tiate his charges, and failed to do so.
The reader must remember that Col.
MCLURE is Republican leader, and
yet he traduces a republican legisla-
ture, without a shadow of excuse,
save only that he could not control
it /; and people might infer if he had
controlled it, that there would be
some ground for the imputations of
bribery and corruption.
We have some knowledge of re.
cent legislatures, and some of more
remote ones, and we declare, and can
prove it by strong facts, that the
present Legislature is one of the
purest bodies of the kind that has as
sembled in our State for years. Ou1
Legislature of year ago, we con
sidered great improvement, and be-
lieve this improvement has been go
ing on for several years and conf.

reckless and wholesale charges of
bribery and corruption are made for
doing right, as ColoRels M'CLURE and

THE NEW PLAN.

The new plan of the House for re-
organizing the States, and for Civ
ing civil Governments to those which
are at present unrepresented, differs
in some essential particulars from
the scheme of Mr.. Stevens, embod-
led in his North Carolina bill, and
the general impression will be that
the alterations are improvements.
1t is provided that there shall be
held in all these States, elections for
delegates to revise their Constitu-
tions. At these elections, all persons
who can take an oath of loyalty dur
ing the war, and none others, are to
be allowed to vote-the principle
being to exclude the Rebels from
participation in framing the organ
ic law. After the Constitution of a
State has been framed, and pending
its adoption by the people, Provis-
ional Government is to be formed by
the Convention, to supersede those
created by the President, and to con-
tinue during the political interreg-
mum. 1t is especially provided that
the Constitutions to be framed shall
embody the following principles :
Equality of suffrage, without dis
tinction or exclusion on account of
race or color a fair and equitable
distribution of civil privileges a
disqualification of unpardoned and
unrestored rebels for places of trust
and power a submission of the
State to the federal authority in all
matters of divided jurisdiction the
endorsement of the Union war debt,
and the unconditional reputation Of
that incurred by the Rebels a
change in the basis Misrepresentation,
which shall place it upon the stand
ard of the voting population.
The Southern States have reject
ed the proposed Constitutional amend
ment. There is no reason to suppose
that this action will be reconsidered
But one course is therefore left to
the majority in Congress, represent,
ing the loyal sentiment of the coun-
try These States must be recon.
structed upon basis of assured 10y
atty, and harmony with the Federal
Government. There is no possibility
of attaining this result, while their
present political organizations con,
tinue in existence. But those Gov.
ernments, Illegal though they are, and
existing only by suffrance, cannot be
changed without the direct interven,
tion of the National Legislature, and
the substitution of others in their
stead. AS the Rebels who are EN-,
ploying the franchise constitute the
only barrier to an effective and
speedy reconstruction, it follows
that they must be deprived of power
for mischief and there is no more
certain way of accomplishing this,
than by enforcing the national law
which makes them incompetent to
exercise the highest functions of cit
izenship, forfeited by their treason.
