@ Mr.. Sumner has invented a new
mode for despoiling the Southern people
of their property. He offered a resolu-
ton in the Senate, on Wednesday, declar-
ing "that the reconstruction of the rebel
States would be fastened, and the best in
terests of the country promoted, if the
President Of the United States, in the ex-
ercise Of the pardoning power, would re-
quire that every landed proprietor who has
been engaged in the rebellion, before re-
ceiying his pardon, therefor should convey
to the freedmen, his former slaves, GER
tain portion Of the land on which they
have worked, SO that they may have a
homestead in which their own labor has
mingled, and that the disloyal master may
not continue to appropriate to himself the
fruits of their toll" It is scarcely to be
supposed that any "landed proprietor"
would ask OF desire pardon upon any such
terms; neither is it likely that the Presi-
dent would "require" any such rascally
condition Of those seeking pardon Can't
somebody help these precious rascals to in
vent some plan by which they can plumber
the Southern people Of their property with
out mourning any personal responsibility :?
This seems to be the only obstacle in the
way of wholesale conGscation.

GS Among the various bills proposed,

Among the various bills proposed,
explanatory of and supplementary to the
acts of March last, that offered by Mr.
Drake is the most radical. It prohibits
the commandants of the several military
districts from ever appointing any persons
to office who had ever been engaged in re-
belllon against the United States and who
had given aid and comfort to the enemies,
and who cannot take the oath required of
all officers of the United States; and that,
precedent to the admission of any rebel
State, its constitution shall provide that all
elections shall forever be by ballot, and it
shall ever remain a member Of the Ameri-
can Union, &c. Which, being interpre-
ted, means, if it means anything, that all
who participated in the late war, on the
Southern side. are to be deprived of all
political rights; for, if they shall be rem
dered ineligible to hold "'any office" under
the State governments provided for by the
acts OF Congress, they will not be permit
ted to vote. The object of these restric-
tons is to prevent any others than the So
called unconditional union men, from
occupying seats in State conventions or le-
gislatures, or otherwise participating in the
enactment or administration of the laws
We cannot imagine what can be the pre-
text for such sweeping restrictions, in the
face of the general acquiesceuce of the
Southern people in the requirements of
the laws now in force. Certainly nothing
has transpired to justify such harsLness.
We must look to other reasons for the So
luton OF the problem. We are told that
the governments Of the Southern States
must be reconstructed and administered
according to the creed of the radical par
ty. based upon the political and social
equality Of the whito and black races
To accomplish this utopian scheme, all the
civil Offices Of those States must be filled
by the worst class of men in our midst
Here is the truth in a nutshell We shall
see what will become of Mr.. brakes bill.
