CHI A Es TON.
FRIDAY MORNING, MAY Is, 1sss..
outh Carolina HALFWAY IL. 70 Union.

South Carolina Halfway IL, t,e Union.
The omnibus bill readmitting the States
of North and South Carolina. Georgia, Ala
bsma and Louisiana to representation in
Congress, was passed yesterda.. by the
United States House Of Repre- sentatives, and
FIVE of the Southern States stand on the
threshold Of the ever-glurious Union. It is
true that the conditions are somewhat hard,
but the South did not bargain for any resto-
ration under the auspices OF Radical Con.
gress. The Southern States are temporarily
radicalized, and hence they may be trusted
with vote, but it is singular, nevertheless,
that the great condition Of readmission
should be set aside by restoration itself.
1t is enacted in the omnibus bill that the
five States named shall be readmitted to
representation when their Legislatures shall
have ratified the fourteenth constitutional
amendment, provided that the constitution
of the said States shall never be 30 changed
as to deprive any persons Of the right to
vote who are entitled to vote by the present
Radical constitutions. This is the provision
of Congress, but the fourteenth constitu-
tional amendment leaves the question Of
suffrage to be determined by the States, and
when it shall have become part of the
Constitution Of the United States it will
give the States the very right that they re-
nounce as the condition of their restora-
tion.
Even the wisest folks trip sometimes, and
the step Of the House CT Represent ltiyes
may be overcome by the passage Of a sup
Elementary restoration bill providing that
wherever, the laws of Congress and the pro-
visions of the United States Constitution
are at variance, the laws of Congress, and
not the Constitution, shall be held and
understood to be the supreme law of the
land.
/. By our latest kilograms it will be seen
that the House has stumbled over the block,
and has amended the bill 80 as to prohibit
any change in the suffrage laws which is
not impartial in character and operation.

FALL MEETING OF THE METAIRIE
JOCKEY CLUB.

The first day of the fall meeting was in
augurated Saturday. There were two
races, the first being for a stake for all
ages, one and half miles, entrance $50,
the Club to add $3.50, to carry 100 pounds;
but the second was the great State Post
Stake, three mile heats, entrance $250O,
the Club to give $1,000 and plate valued
at $1,000. This, of course, was the great
race, the event of which has been can
vassed for some time past, In the first race
three entries were made, viz: Bismarck, by
Colonel james Michigan; Tom Green, by
@. A. Hamilton, and Transit, by E. War
wick, Colonel Nelligans horse having the
call by long odds. The race terminated
as expected by Bismarck coming in an easy
winner, Transit second and Tom Green be,
hind from the start. There was not the
least chance for victory for either
Of the last named nags. The time
made-3:2s-was not so very slow, eonsid
ering the wretched condition of the track
as all the labor bestowed on it could moi
make il look anything better than a dirty
paste, and nobody ever expected anything
but slow time.

CoMMuNIoATIoNs.--We publish to-day two
communications on political subjects. Each
was written bya citizen of education, patri-
Otsm and earnestness, and yet they widely
differ in their tone and recommendations,
The writer Of one urges severity against
the unrepentant rebels, while the author of
the other pleads for universal suffrage and
universal amnesty In some particulars
we differ from the views expressed in both
communications but as we are decided
friends of free speech and free press we
publish any communications on public
questions written in gentlemanly style
and by responsible citizens.

There has been some flutter about this
huge pile of brick and mortar, of late,
among persons who have managed to worm
themselves in there and live at Uncle Sam s
expense. 1t seems that Perry Fuller. Esq,
the Democratic carpet-bag Collector of the
Fort of New Orleans, has succeeded in
getting his department fuller than the
law requires. Therefore, about one hun
bred of the hungry patriots who have en-
sconced themselves in very comfortable
and easy places will have to get up and
CO." for it is rumored that their peculiar
kind of services are no longer required
As many of them are fine specimens of the
muscular man, we would kindly suggest
that the first of the year is fast approach
ing, wheR the new crop season will set in,
and that instead of waiting for something
to turn up let them go to turning up
the soil and producing something.

Church of the AEeasiah-Rev. MT Holland.
The congregation which had the good
fortune to be assembled yesterday morning
in the Church Of the Messiah lat present
under the care Of the Rev. Mr.. Holland),
enjoyed rare spiritual and Intellectual re-
past. The subject of the discourse was
"The house not made with hands" that
supermundane mansion which each man
builds for himself, and to the erection of
which each thought and word and action,
each transient emotion, even, help to con-
tribute. The text was illustrated with a
lavish profusion Of images which displayed
the mental opulence ofthe speaker. Science,
poetry, history and the events Of every
day life, all were made tributary to the
calculation of his subject, so that an atten
tive listener, like ship freighted with
gems, might lose half the cargo and ye
reach home richly laden.
We shall not do this eloquent and elabo
rate discourse so great an injustice as to at
tempt synopsis Of it, but we would sug
gest to such Of our readers as have no
connected themselves with any particular
denomination Of the Christian church, ant
yet have Sabbath hungerings after spiritua
food, that they could not do better on sucl
occasions than attend this church. Here
they viii be cordially welcomed, and will
hear such an exposition Of christian trutl
as can not but arouse the mind, land ma
touch the heart.

A Mrs. Tucker, with an eye to fame and
profit, has inflicted upon an already OPP
pressed world the "Life of Mark NJ. Brick

published it, and Crescent City ballad

In the hope of favorable mention" a
copy has been sent to the great Southern

brother and colaborer for years, Brick

A CARD.
NEW ORLEANs. Nov

NEW ORLEANS, November 26, 1869,
To the Editor of the Republican:
siR-An article in your paper Of yesterday con
spicuously parsdes my name at the head of list of
those who have paid the special one per cent State
tax in the First District
Individually this would make no difference to me
But the President of the Real Estate Owners As.
ISOLATION, now contesting before the courts the
legality OF said tax, explanation is necessary,
which is simply this:
First-l paid the tax BEFORE the formation of said
association.
Second-I did NOT pay it because / believed it to
be LEGAL. but for the like others that did
not desire to INDIVIDUALLY contest it, and incur
heavy expenses, in matter in which each taxpayer
in the State is interested.
Yours, respectfully.
noH st JOHN A. STEVENSON.
