We do not doubt the correctness of
this conjecture. The Radical recon
struction legislation in the Southern
States will fasten upon them a debt
from which they can never hope to re-
cover, and the freedmen will, when
ever the question is presented in a
tangible form, gladly seek relief from
the war debt of the Federal govern
ment in reputation. The pretext will
have been furnished by the reckless
course of the Radical schemers them
selves

Speculative calculations by verv
high Democratic authority fix the
chances for the nomination at New
York, as follows: Pendleton 2in10.
Chase 2 in 10; Hancock, Doolittla
Hendricks, Dix and half a dozen Others
range lower. Close and impartial
reading indicates that Chase's chances
are very good and equally close. and
impartial watching here demonstrates
that Chase desires, and that potent
friends are working assiduously for
his nomination.

The Congress does not hesitate to
amend the constitutions adopted by
the reconstructed States. That of
Georgia undergoes this process. The
very feature is proposed to be stricken
out which caused many white citizens
of the States to vote for its adoption.
Why did not Congress make up consti-
buttons originally, and fasten them
outright on the several provinces ?
The power and the right are surely
concurrent and co-equal, and if a con-
stitution may be changed it might
have been made IN toto as we'll at
Washington as at Atlanta-New York
World.

Extra Ordinary Democratic Reac-
tom Inn South Carolina.


The telegraph informed us yester-
day that the democrats had gained a
majority of the districts in South Caro-
lima, at the recent local elections, hav-
ing secured sixteen out Of the thirty
one districts. There are about five
white districts in the States-Spartan-
burg, Oconee, Greenville, Anderson,
and Chesterfield But this gives only
a faint idea of the extraordinary re-
action in the popular vote in the State,
as compared with the vote on the new
constitution. We find that in Union
county the demo cratic gain has been
nearly two thousand, in Kershaw over
seventeen hundred, in Laurens over
thirteen hundred, in Chester over one
thousand, and so on throughout the
State. These local elections show the
strength of the conservatives in South
Carolina, and are indicative of what
they are capable of doing when they
bring out their entire force Beside
the practical benefit locally Of the con
servatives in the South polling full
vote, the moral effect in the North and
West is highly important; and we sug-
gest that hereafter, at every election
there be united effort in all the South
ern States, to bring out every conser
vative vote that can be relied upon
We have always believed that the white
conservatives, with such sensible col
ored voters as are not under the thumb
screws of the Radical carpet Dagger.
and submissive to arbitrary militar,
direction, are capable of controlling
every State in the South. 1t would b,
a curious, but to us a not unexpected
event to find the Southern States in
strumental in electing Democrat al
the next President of the United States
They can do it if they try.

The following is the Presidents


message vetoing the Arkansas bill:
The approval of this bill would be
an admission that the act for the more
efficient government of the rebel
States, and acts supplemental thereto,
were proper and constitutional, where
as the Presidents opinion is I'M
changed in this respect, but rather
strengthened by results attending their
execution If Arkansas is not State,
this bill does not admit her; if she is
State, no legislation is necessary to
her representation in Congress. Each
House, under the constitution, judges
the election returns and qualifications
of it's own members, and nothing is
necessary to restore Arkansas but the
decision of each House of the ehgibil-
ity of those presenting credentials.
If this plain and simple plan of the
constitution had been adopted in 1865,
instead of legislation Of doubtful con-
stitutionality, and therefore unwise
and dangerous, restoration would long
since have been accomplished. The
President again recommends the adop-
ton of the constitutional plan. The
terms proposed are scarcely applicable
to territory--certainly not to State
which has occupied place in the
Union for over quarter of a
century. The President is unable to
find any authority for the conditions
of the bill in the Federal constitution.
The elective franchise is reserved by
the constitution to the States them
selves. The bill fails to provide how
Arkansas shall signify her acceptance
of the fundamental conditions nor
does it prescribe penalties for their
notification. 1t is seriously question
ed whether the constitution has been
ratified according to the law assumed
to be in force before it's adoption. The
Arkansas constitution restricted fran
chise on it's ratification by tests I'M
known in the reconstruction acts
among them the acceptance of the po-
litical and civil rights of all men. 1t
is we'll known that a large portion, if
not large majority, of electors do
not accept this test, and if applied to
voters North, there is reason to believe
many of them would remain away
from the polls rather than comply
with it's degrading conditions.
The President concludes: 'sShould
the people Of Arkansas, therefore, de
string to regulate the elective franchise
so as to make it conform to the con-
situations Of large proportion of the
States of the North and West, modify
the provisions referred to in the fun
damental condition, what is to be the
consequence? Is it intended that a
denial of representation shall follow
And if so, may we not dread at some
future day a recurrence of the troubles
which have SO long agitated the coun-
try? Would it not be the part of wis
dom to take for our guide the Federal
Constitution rather than resort to
measures which, looking only to the
present, may, in a few years. renew in
an aggravated form, the strife and bit
terness caused by legislation which has
proved to be ill-timed and unfortu-
nate"
The bill passed over the veto by 1lO
to 31-a strict party vote except Stew
art of New York, who voted with the
Republicans.
