Different STYLES Of Loyalty,

We are told by the Boston Common
,cealh that many earnest lOyalists are
fearful of the ratification of the amend
ment by the South. Earnest loyalists
in the South, on the other hand, fear
that the amendment will not be adopt
ed and a great many very respec table
loyalists there, who do not make loud
professions of earnestness, would like
to know whether the amendment was
offered in good faith or not. The Au-
gusta, (Ga.) Constitutionalist inquiries,
with some earncstness, what the North
really wants, and proceeds to say:
s.Does she want the South to adopt
the constitutional amendment under
positiye guarantee offull restoration 7
Let Congress make the solemn assertion.
No such guarantee has ever been given,
but we have been deliberately told, be-
yond denial of any authoritative source.
that even this humiliation, were our
people disposed to accept it, would
not snffice. Gentlemen of Con-
gress who are supposed to represent
the North. tell us, in plain language,
what You really want us to do in order
to secure restoration. Ifyour terms are
too exacting we will honestly declare
them to he so. and submit to the will
of Providence with clean hearts. If
possible of acceptance, we will accept
them, and accept them with good
faith"
This looks fair aud, if honestly seid,
it is fair. 1t deserves an honest and eX-
plicit answer. If earnest loyalty" in
the North means what the Boston Com
monwedIth thinks, Congress was not sin
cere in offering the amendment it was
a pretty trick. Has anything worse
been said of Congress than this p
Springfield Republican.

The Admission or Nebraska.

Opposing the proposition to admit
Nebraska asa State, the st. Louis Bepub-
licdn enters into an examination of the
legal questions involved, and incident
ally gives history of the movement
designed to bring about this object, as
follows:
In the opinion of the President, Con-
servative Republicans and Democrats,
the objections to the admission of Ne
braska are insuperable on the highest
legal grounds. Acting upon the theory
that the people of territory cannot
proceed to form a State government
without authority first conferred by
Congress, that body passed an enabling
act in 1864, authorizing the calling a
convention Of the people to form a
State Constitution, to be afterward sub
mitted TO the vote of the people. The
time within which this was to be
done was fixed by the Enabling Act.
That convention was called and met. 1t
assembled, did some talking, but
framed no constitution, and adjourned
without doing that which they were au-
thorized by the Enabling Act and
called together to consider by the peo-
pie. The inference was that the con-
vention of the people were opposed TO
framing constitution, and did not de-
sire to form q State Government. The
Enabling Act expired, and no Congress
ional authority existed for initiating
the necessary steps to organize State
government. In this emergency, the
Legislature, without legal authority,
assumed to discharge the functions of a
convention, and framed State consti-
tuition, which they submitted to the
vote of the people. The town council
of Omaha, however, had just as much
authority to frame a constitution and
submit it TO the people of
Nebraska, as the Legislature of the terri
tory. But this constitution, so framed
by legislature without legal warrant,
was submitted to the people, and the
vote upon it raised the essential ques-
tion, is the population of Nebraska suf-
ficient TO authorize the formation Of n
State Government The entire vote
was three thousand nine hundred and
thirty-eight. This would indicate a
population of less than twenty thOu-
sand, rating the vote Mt one in five of the
population. At an important election
held in Nebraska in October last, in
volving local matters exciting the in
terest of the entire people, only nine
thousand votes were cast, indica-
ting a population of less than
fifty thousand people, supposing
that the vote nine thousand was
legal. But this is in fact no
evidence that the population of Nebras-
ka reaches thirty-fve thousand. There
has been no census. 1t is mere matter
of opinion that the population is less or
more. There is no means of knowing
that majority of the legal voters voted
for the Constitution unwarrantably
framed aud submitted by the Legisla-
ture. No election Laws were in exist

A writer in the New York Tribune has
taken sudden alarm lest the negro, being
taught to read, may learn something
from books that may not enhance his
appreciation of Yankeedom. He thinks:
"There ought to be radical change
in the present system of education OF
all classes; and as the colOred people
South are homogeneous, and directly
under the tutelage Of the United States
Government. correct system might
he adopted in their case with great
benefit. L here should be renlodeling Of
school books especially made for this
class of learners, which books should be
adopted by all societies, powers and or
ganizations having the education OF the
freedmen in charge, so as to cause the
universal and exclusive use ofthe new
books among the people. The primary
books should be interspersed, not only
with abstract moral precepts, but with
political aphorisms, enjoining loyalty
to the government and laws of the
United States, teaching the distinction
between the duties of persons to their
particular State governments and their
allegiance and duty to the General
Government. Also, the
nature of treason, and that traitors are
a nuisance on earth and an abomination

The Stafe Debt.

In the opera of Maritana, when the
King of Spain is preparing to pass HIM
self off upon the wife of the hero rs Don
Cesar de Bazan he encounters Don
Caesar himself, who asks him his name.
81 am" replied His Majesty, "Don
Caesar de Bazan. Who are You" "If
you are Don Caesar de Bazau, am the
King of Spain,' rejoined Don Caesar. So
we say to West Virginia, which would
settle the State debt upon basis pro-
posed BY herself when she was merely
playing" Virginia: "Ifyou were Vir-
ginia. and could fix basis of settlement,
why then we are West Virginia, and
will agree that West Virginia shall pay
at least one half of the debt" Serious
", the idea of dividing the State debt
according to plan proposed by West
Virginia herself, when she presumptu-
ously assumed to be the State of Virgin
ia, is not for a moment to be entertain
ed. That would be to stultify ourselves
indeed. For nothing is more certain
than that the assumption in question
was one of the most bare-faced political
frauds ever perpetrated.

ence, and no man could be punished for
illegal voting, and it is expressly alleged
that in some portions of the Territory
whole companies of Iowa soldiers voted
upon the Constitution. Now il is man
ifest that the Constitution of the
United States contemplates that there
should be something like equalitynmong
the several States composing the Union.
To admit Nebraska with q population
of less than fifty Thousand, with the
right TO send representative to Con-
gress and two Senators, would present
an instance of most glaring inequality.
According to the present apportionment
Missouri can send a Representative to
Congress for every one hundred and
twenty-seven thousand of population.
And so with all the States ofthe Union.
Why should Nebraska, with probably
not third of this number, have the
privilege of sending Representative
to Congress.

At Arlington, General Lees estate
the Uuited States Government has
built q village and populated it with
freedmen, the former slaves of Virginia
farmers. From the following, which
we find in the National Mtelligencer OF
Yesterday, it appears that the condition
of these freedmen are destitute and des-
peTatc:
This is cminently q work of mercy, and
we do not doubt that its claims will 80
home to the hearts of the people.
Those who have at this cold, inclemcnt
season, had a glimpse of the sad spec
tacle which is any day to be seen on the
bleak hills upon which Frecdmens
Village is planted will not he apt to
doubt that there is misery looking down
in literally dark shadows upon the
National Capitol. We are informed
that there are in the vicinity 4 thou
sand poor bcnightcd creatures scattered
in their scanty clothing, freezing habi-
tations, and with doled out Govern
ment ration, upon the Arlington hills
at this time.
These miserable, ignorant, suffering
creatures are here by no act of their
own. The calamities of the times have
placed them there, and it is the impera-
tive duty of this community to bring
their condition and claims to the atten-
ton of the country, and to do their
part in bringing them alienation.
The whole project of such a village
was, in our Judgment, mistake. These
Door creatures should not have been
thus cOngregated in dreary spot, away
from all civilized habitations, and
where even those who are able to do
something for subsistence cannot pos
sibly find anything to do. But they
are there and must be kept from the
more abject forms of suffering, if they
cannot be made decently comfortable.
The destitute condition of the poor,
desolate throng of human beings on the
Arlington hills, known as "Freedmen's
Village" of which our columns have
again and again spoken, has arrested
the attention sf some of our bencficent
people, and meeting was on Wednes-
day evening held at the residence OF
Hon. George W. Mcclellan to devise
means for the alienation of the suffer
ing. II was decided to provide for these
poverty stricken creatures q dinner on
January Sd, and to gather and dispense
clothing to relieve their wretchedness
on the occasion.
