The Indiana Outrage.

'''T The New York Times RadicaD
makes severe criticism .lf upon fhte alb
isurd doctrine Of Senator Morton that
the two-thirds requirement in the
Constitution of Indiana only refers to
the tWo-thirds present, Of the mem
bers, whether they have resigned or
not. The Times. we'll says: ''' -
'nH" But the view itself suffers from
two important drawbacks. In, the
first place, it has the, disadvantage of
being, obviously, a piece of special
pleading in, support of partisan pur-l
pose and being a partisan plea, with
a1l its clearness, il. lacks ,cogency.sand
moral force. In the next place, it
conflicts with the construction hi:h-
ierto put upon the provision BY both
PARTIES, and with the reasoning relied
upon at the outset to justify the de-
cision of the presiding officers. r..
=" Until the exigency for this inter-
probation arose, neither party
deemed that The constitutional two
thirds meant less than two-thirds of
the Whole number of Senators, and
members respectively. Both the Sen
ate and the House acquiesced in this
rendering in Il Marcel last, when the
Democratic one-thftdl bolted to avert
a vote upon the amendment. iIf Mr..
Morton's theory5is correct, the Legis-
1ature should then have gone on with
its business, regardless of the absence
| of those who had resigned their seats.
And the fact that that course SKas not
pursqead--that the resignation of one
third was, held by both parties to zen

Indeed, when once 1t became apparent that
English Professionalism would positively not
respond to the cry of No Popery, and would

self saw at once the thing was an anachrOnism,
and quietly dropped it. There is story
of a man who, being rather profuse
in his coincidence with the widow of a friend,
and observing that the bereaved lady did not
quite seem to appreciate his sympathetic utter
ances, promptly changed his tune, and said /:
"Well, Madam, IL you take it in that sort of
way, can assure you that care just as
"little about the matter as you don This was
quite in Mr.. Dsraeli's style. When he found
that the English people cared nothing about the
fate of the Irish Church, he soon made it quiz
city evident that he cared just as little. There is
nothing in the great meeting OF Conservative
members. There is nothing in their grand new
policy Mr.. Disracli's speech was probably a
very ingenious, plausible, and even animatng
harangue, but his amendments are sham.
Those which would be worth carrying he knows
he can never carry; those which have any

partisan sense, the trouble of division.

One who cannot chop efficiently will lind q

and secure the planting Of others all around it,
thus increasing the value of its lands and al
fording eager markets for its produce. 1t would
be a miniature New York, and, after passing
its crisis, would be constantly reinforced by
troops of relatives and friends of the colonists,
from this City and from every quarter.
We can't help wishing that thousand such
colonies were now filling up their ranks in our
City and its suburbs. Each Of them would serve
TO enhance rather than deplete the abiding
growth and prosperity of New-Yorl1.

list of Consuls, Internal Revenue officers,

actuated solely by the desire to benefit
the service, has listened very readily

and has already recalled several nominations

GEN. SICKLFS.

We simply call attention to the Washington
dispatches in some Of our contemporaries In
reference to the relations of Gen. Sickes
toward tho President, and deny upon authority
the statement that there has been any "mis-
understanding" All the interviews between
Gen. Siclles and President Grant have been
especially friendly and cordial.
We understand that the President took an
early occasion, after his Inauguration, to tender
to Gen. Sickles various public employments.
He was offered command in one of the South
ern States, which he declined and the mis-.
sion to Mexico which, for domestic reasons.
he WAS compelled also to decline IIa
was asked to accept the mission to Spain.
The President has recognized in Gen. Sicklcs
man of more than ordinary gifts, with brilliant
record during the war, and self-saeri-
ficing in his devotion to the Republican party.
Few men have been so strongly tempted.
When President johnson meditated his
detection from the party which made him
President, Gen. Sickles was among the men
he especially sought to seduco He named him
to prominent foreign mission. He rendered
him tho Collectorship of the Port of New
York, and we believe it was under
stood that he might nave succeeded Mr..
Stanton as Secretary OF War. He was sent
into the Carolinas at critical time Ia tho
work of reconstruction. If he had carried out
the spirit Of Mr. Johnsons policy he
might have paralyzed the loyal element
in those States, and delayed, If not
destroyed, their rehabilitation. No General
was moro patient, earnest, and liberal
in his policy both toward the Blacks and the
Whites. While with one hand he secured
freedom to the oppressed, with the
other he showed justice and magnan-
unity to tho dominant Rebel party. His
administration was brilliant and successful.
He brought the Carolinas into proper relations
with the Government. No States have been
moro thoroughly reconstructed. He was stricken
down on the eve of tho completion OF tha
work because he refused to obey the
mandates Of the President. Coming back to
the Northern States he gave his time and in
telect to the consolidation of tie Republican
party, on the basis of universal suffrage, and
especially to the nomination Of Gen. Grant az
the candidate of that party. lie was among
the earliest supporters of Gen. Grant for the
Presidential nomination.
Because of this record, Gen. Sickles is now
made target for the virulcnt abuse of the
enemies of freedom. He leaves the army; lie
takes no public Office; he returns to civil life
Those who attacked him when he was
leader in the party of justice, now
attack him as private citizen
We regret to lose his cOunsels and
his efforts at this time. There are few men so
gifted now in public employment. The as
saults made upon him will be regarded by his
fellow countrymen as the idle wind which
passes by. Gen. Sicklcs belongs TO history.
The nation which he has served so well will
surround him in his retirement with its conf
dence and its support.

The mystery about the Elevated Railroad
bill, and the use of the names of A. II. Stewart
and William B. Astor, without their consent,
as cOrporatOrs, resolves itself into this The
corporators proper are not named, but are
referred to as tho Constructing Company"
Besides these the bill provides for Board of
Commissioners, who have full power to control
the building and operating Of the road. The
section creating this Board reads as follows;
"The Governor, the Mayor Of the City OF Ncw.York
the President OF the Central Park Commission aud VIM
B AstOr and Alexander T. Stewart OF said city, here
by appointed Commissioners OF said railway and const
tued members OF Board Of Commissioners to be known
the Central Elevated Railway Commission OF the CITY
of NewYork whose duty shall be TO promote tho object
of this act" &c.
We understand that Messrs. Stewart and Astor
were not aware Of the use of Their names in this
manner.

Until the grounds of the decision Just
rendered in tho Spanish Admiralty Court,
declaring the American vessel, Mary Lowell,
a legal prize, are received, we cannot say that
it is unwarranted. But, unless the evil
dence revealed very different state of
affairs from that narrated in Admiral
Hof7s dispatches, the Spanish Courts would
seem to be quito as ready to sanction gross
violations of international law rs the Spanish
navy is to commit them. The brig Mary
Lowell was reported captured between the
man-of-war's anchorage and the inner harbor,
within British jurisdiction. If this be true,
and the Spanish Courts really undertake to
hold the prize legal, they are blessed with a de-
gree of assurance that must astonish even their
Own neOnle.
New-York tribune., 1869-04-16

English double us In their acreage, and thcy
do it chiefly because they buy moro bones and
feed more roots and rich food to their stock.
III. Almost every county in the South de-
priyes itself of half a million annually by buy.
ing what the farmers ought to raise When
agricultural wealth was the badge Of reapecta
bllity, the planter Of three hundred bales was
three times as much hOnored as he who sold
one hundred. Hence the temptation to plow
the whole face of the land and skim it of wha.
plant food lay within three inches of the top.
But we have changed all that. Tho Southern
farmer of 1870 who stands first in his county
will be the man who has the greatest number
OF agricultural products to sell, and who pays
out money for hardly anything but salt and
iron
