Certainly they are; but not by the Blacks.
The disfranchisement is imposed by Congress
for specific and prominent participation IN the
late Rebellion. Nobody, we presume, imagines
that this dsfranchisement is other than tenn
porary and-in spite of the fact that the Whites
of the South are stronger than the Blacks IN
every respect, numbers included, and must year
by year become propOrtionately stronger ana
stronger through himmigration-wew will guarantee
with ample security, the concurrence of the
Blacks in the prompt enfranchisement OF every
White provided the Whites will give equally
satisfactory security that they will never again
seek TO disfranchise the Blacks. Who has

The Times speaks of Poland, Hungary and
Ireland as conspicuous failures of the Radical

or that Hungary is or has been disafected
because political power was extended by her

TILE nLLlLnI PHOrLSO-

There is Just now, since the death of Judge
Wilmot considerable discussion concerning the
authorship of the celebrated ProvisO that goes
by his name aud about as great number of
authors are claiming it as there were claimants
for the letters of Junus. A. the great proyiso
did not even pretend TO originality. but WAS
coulcsscdly based upon the spirit Of the Ordi-

defeated only, not murdered, and when the
time came for the accrctiOn of slave soil, Lib

PAST PERJURY And PROSPEC TIg.'
NHnFTU

Gov. SeymOur's hopes are not usually cur
hopes, but we quite agree with him that 1t
would be neat thing if the system of in
" formers and perjury in use during the past
"seven years. could "be laid bare by new
Administration He knows best whether he
would himself make much by this exhaustive
exposure; but he has the less to apprehend be-
cause his own perjuries Gf we may be allowed
to use the word) have been mainly patent or
constructive. He has sworn great many
times, as he hoped for Gods mercy, to
support the Constitution of the United
States. When this fundamental instru-
ment was murderousy assailed by a
large number of men who had also sworn to
support and to abide by it, Gov. Seymour knows
best whether he gave it that hearty and I'M
qualified devotion which his oath required of
him, or whether he expressed preference for
a bogus document concOcted by Rebel lawyers.
Every man of sense can determine for himself
how rapid would have been the resuscitaton OF
the Union, pure and simple, if it had depended
upon anything said OF done by Gov. Seymour
or his friends the rioters in this city.
However, as clean slate is desirable in public
affairs once in a decade or So we trust that the
"new Administration will, so far as possible,
give to the Republic full exposure of all the lies
swindles perjuries, forgeries treasons, pecula-
lations, defaults, felOnes, misdemeanors, and
frauds which have been committed 10y ma
tional servants during the last seven years,
and which have not been discovered by the
Trial of Impeachment. SO far are we from
desiring to have any political iniquity remain

power to hunt, to search, to peep, anu 10

The whole truth will not be half 50 bad rs these
constant hints suTmses, and damnable nnuen-
does which are the main staple OF the ccc-
ti0nccring speeches and letters Of GOV. Seymour
and his associates. When anybody is dcputed
TO examine into the rascalires Of Republicans,
we want him to be a Democrat. without guile
or all guile-we do not care which ana II ne
appears IN the least inclined 10 show any

times more savage in his place. The Demo

Yesterday Gov FentOD sent a veto to the Leg
islature recommending that the New-Yoril Tax
Levy should be put forward, and not left TO
the last hours Of the session. Thercupon Il
person named Jacobs, who, through the over
sight of the people Of Brooklyn at the last
election, got into the Assembly, shook his
ears and moved that the message be returned
to the Governor. If Jacobs can possibly find
time. in the midst of his important legislative
duties, will he favor his constituents with the
time. place. and condition attending the repeal
of the constitutional provision which makes u
not only the privilege but the duty of the Gov
ernOr to recommend to them 1.-THE Legislaturel

II may suit Jacobs TO hold the Tax
Levy back until the last moment,
and thcu cram it with plundcrng amendments,
hut the sufferers here in New orll would pre-
fer that Jacobs aud crew should show their
cards now. We expect to stand n enormous
Swindlc, in any event but, with the permis-
sion Of the illustrious Jacobs, we make bold
to object to the mcrcilcss robbery that he and

famous proviso. They did not; and their hes
itancy bequeathed to It's half century Of fierce
turmoil, ending in devastating civil war. Our
legacy is another age of antagonisn and trou-
ble of elimination and ill-feelng, of jealousy
and danger. Heaven help us through it! But
what if the great idea of the Wilmot proviso
had been grated into the Constitution SO
far as this nation is concerned, we should to-
day have been living in 1868 instead OF drag
ging through the dreadful mire that has fol-
lowed weak c0unsels and civil war. Truth
comes from Heaven, is eternal, asserts itself
above and beyond sponsors; and men are but
instruments-oft dull, blind, involuntary-ln

truth Wilmot enunciated no new idea; they
live in history as promoters, not as creators;
they are honored for the appreciation OF estab-
lished truth and fidelity and zeal In support

THE Er1DEYCE AGAINST THE PRESIDENT

THE FCIDENCE AGAINST THE PRESIDENT
Those who criticise the testimony produced
bv the Impeachment Managers will do well
to remember that the Managers might with en-
tire safety have submitted their case without
swearing q single witness, or putting in evil
dence line of documentary proof. For the
grayamcn of the charges upon which the House
has mpeached the President, and upon which
the Senate are trying him, consists of the at
tempt to remove Secretary Stanton in DISC
bcdence of the Tcnue-Of-O Ofnce law, and tue
attempt to appoint Gen. Thomas, without ask
ing the advice and consent of the Senate, in
viola ton Of the Constitution. Without
these acts the House would never have
impeachcd him, and for these the Senate
cannot avoid cOnyictiug him. Yet the facts
avcrred in the Articles of Impeachment relative
To them require no proof being conceded by
the Presidents answer. For we assume that on
this, as on all other trials, what the respondent
admits the prosecution need not prove. They
have been proved, but as they rested on docu-
mentary evidence already familiar to The pub
lie mind, the proof cxcites no special interest.
If q President can without the advice or con-
sent of the Senate remove and appoint whom
SOINCI he pltdStN--i loN'l NHA'H nv
previous President has ever exercised or
clamed-thcn he Is an unlimited dcs-
pot, and our republic is already rcvolu-
tionized into an autocracy. This is what the
President claims. For acting on these claims
he stands impeachcd. The questions whether
he CONSUMED with Thomas to use force, or
sought to conspire with Emory TO violate the
law placing the military forces under Gen.
Grants control, or whether lis speeches while
swinging around the circle contained rcyolu-
tionary uttennccs which give the clue 90 all
his violations of Law, are all Incidental
and subordinate. The addition OF them
to the Articles of Impeachment WI, made at
the suggestion OF Managers Builder and Bins-
ham, after the original article, were adopted.
The House deemed them wholly unnecessary,
and even prcjudicial, since they tended only 20
divert attention from the main charge.
Whether they have done 50 0r not, those who
think thc proof, or failure Of proof, on these
collateral points affects the main ease, viii bc
vastly mistaken. The case itself can only ID"
affected hy showing that Andrew Johnson did
not attempt 10 remove Secretary stanton aud
appoint Gen. Thomas. This is the one all-Sui-
lclcnt issue. Stick to the question, gentlemen;
