Congress acting Outside Of
the Constitution. .Our Lkbrl.
ties In Peril.
From the New York Herald.


Stevens has plainly declared that
all the Reconstruction acts are out
side the constitution. This is say
ing that righfully they have no force.
Congress, acting outside the law
that gives it its authority, is no
longer Congress. It's utterances are
not Law, and it is the duty of tho
nation to resist it. Who're must the
resistance begin. Congress by this
law puts itself and its creatures in
direct conflict with tho constitution
and the President as the Executive
Of that constitution. The Same du-
ty that required tho Executive to
defend the constitution as against
Southern rebels requires him to as
sert its supremacy when menaced
from other quarters. It did not re-
quire the Intervention Of the Su-
prone Court to tell what must be
dope when Fort. Sumpter was fred
on. This law proposes TO put Gen.
Grant in command Of the new dis
trict, deriving his authority directly
from Congress. General 0rant is

Of Nhich the President is the Com
mander-in- -Ghisf. General Grant

Let tho people ofthe North reflect
on ths unquestionabls fact that the

Alexander III. Stephens Wow
of Affairs in the south.

Washington Correspondents ofths New York Herald.
Alexander H. Stephens, in con-
versation with o. friend who saw him
recently in Philadelphia, took q
very dcspondent view of affairs in
the South. He pronounced the fu-
ture before that section Of the soun-
try frsught with gloom and disaster,
and can see nothing in the policy OF
reconstruction but the operation Of
q fearful scheme, whose Ultimate 70.
suit will be tho destrac of eth
er the black or the white race.
Every day, he says, it becomes
more painfully evident that the es-
arrangement between the races is
widening-on the part. of the ne
groes from the effects Of such instruc-
tion IS teaches them to distrust and
oppose the whites, and on the part
/ Of the latter from an abhorrenoe Of
the negro leaders and an instructive
aversion to be ruled and legislated
for by ignorance and STANDARDIZATION.
From what fell under his own OBJ
servation in Georgia, he Was unable
to dsteet anything like spirit ON
either side tending to mutual SYM
.pAthY Of sentiment and interest.
Radical emissaries from the North
hxve .sown tho seeds Of evil disssn-
sioa with . terrible earnestnsss, and
the diamssric opposition Of the races
! now visible sll over the South. must
in.the very nature Of things, lead.
atiome time or other, to fearful
collisions. This inevitable result,
MI. Stephens declares. as dispas-
sionate observer. forces itself ire
siatibly on his attention. A war Of
races desired by some and indiffer-
entity hssded by others, is, TO his
mind. consequence as sure to hap
pen, under tho Radical method Of
reconstruetion, as it is impossible
to aveid II the precedents Of history
For the impulses that control human
nature be taken into account. !, . :
