Lords and Commons.

1t had been hoped that the English peers,
while protesting against the bill for discs
tablishing the Irish Church, would have
allowed tho bill to pass in such q m8nner
that the victory Of minority in the hered.
itary chamber would not have been re-
garded as the defeat Of the House OF Lords.
But prudent counsels have not prevailed,
nor does it appear to be desired to evsde a
direct vote ON the question Of accepting or
rejecting the bill. A proposition was made
to postpone the consideration Of the bill 70.
six months, which wouid have killed the
measure for thasessions Anotiaer sugses-
ton was to SO amend tHss bin az to make IL
like the play Of Hamlet With the part OF the
Royal Dane omitted. Neither course would
have availed anything to hide the fact that the
House Of Lords was thwartiDg the strong
est majority Of the House Of Commons
known in modern times. The public mind
liz always attracted, IL not overawed. by
manly courage, and Lord Derby retains the
respect Of his opponents, in and out Of
Parliament, when he urges the unequivocal
rejection, by large majority, Of the Irish
Church bill. The cable dispatches state
that twenty-five Conservative peers will de-
cline 70 fellow this policy, and that the de-
fection Of others is possible; but the
strength Of the Conservative party In the
House Of Lords 10 90 great that 1t oan bear
even moro serious loss than that Of twen-

This is the theory

them by the Commons. This is the theory
Of the constitution, and in the present in
stance 1t reduces itself to the question
whether Lords or Commons shall rule. An
assembly Of great landowners, Of few sue
cessful professional men, and Of bishops,
is MOI an assembly which can bring itself
into true accordance with the Liberal CON-
stituenoies. The whole cast Of mind Of the
ordinary peer makes him unfit to deal with
such questions as those which tho condi-
ton Of ireland is now evoking. The Con-
servativs peers have 40 more community of
feeling with the people Of Great Britain
than they have with Timbuctoo; but they
have the constitutional power to set at de-
fiance the popular will, and the pluck does
not seem wanting.
But what comes after? The British pso-
pie are overwhelmingly in favor Of the pas
sage Of the Irish Church bill. The Glad
stone administration came into power upon
that issue, and must fight the contest
through. An appeal to the country is un-
necessary, for the country has decided not
only in favor Of the Irish Church bill, but
in favor of an Irish land bill, if just and
equitable measure can be framed. The
Lords know their position. Already are
heard the mutterings Of the coming storm.
The extremists, few in number but strong
Of lung, demand the instant abolition of
the hereditary Upper House. The most
steady going journals ask-how can the
House of Lords yield so as to do itself the
least harm? 1t is the opinion Of the Liber-
ais that the Upper House can only find safety
in the distinct recognition of its position.
AS Lord Salisbury said last year, an hered-
itary body is debarred by its very nature
from setting itself up to judge what is best
for the nation, when the nation has judged
for itself The best thing that can happen,
in the interest Of the Upper House, is that
the Lords should distinctly admit the prin,
ciple that when general election has been
held to decide point, and the decision has
been recorded in bill adopted by moon
testable majorities in the Commons, the
function Of the Lords is mainly reduced to
explaining why, although they pass the
bill, they protest against it and disapprove
Of it, and throw the whole responsibility of
the consequences upon the Ministry and
the other House. The Lords may not be
prepared to take this step; but there is al
ways the hope Of o change in opinions
until the gage is actually thrown down by
the rejection Of the bill whose passage the
people with one voice demand. This is
certain: II the Lords will not bend they
must break

TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY %, 1869
Congress and Universal Suffrage.

1t must seem little singular to such of
our colored citizens as are accustomed to
watch the proceedings of the National Con-
gress from day to day, that a body which,
with so little hesitation or ceremony, has
fastened the equality of the races upon the
South, as principle of government at once
lust in itself and expedient in its operation,
should have found it 80 delicate and difficult
matter to agree even upon the initiatory
step for engrafting the self-same principle
upon the political system of the States of
the North. The Senate and the House Of
Representatives have been wrangling for
weeks over the terms of the pending con-
stitutional amendment which, if adopted and
ratified, is to make the suffrage universal
throughout the Union. The hitch in the first
instance seems to have been in regard to the
right to bold office; and, strangely enough,
the objection came from the lower House Of
Congress. The amendment, as reported by
the Reconstruction Committee and passed by
the House, was declaration that "the right
"of any citizen of the United States to vote
.sshall not be denied or abridged by the
s.United States, or any State, by reason Of
ssrace, or color, or previous condition Of
"slayery, of any citizen or class of citizens
"of the United States" The Senate, which
seems long since to have ceased to be the
Conservative House of Congress, was not
satisfied with this comparatively moderate
proposition, but adopted the following:
"No discrimination shall be made in the
Omitted States among the citizens of the
"United States in the exercise of the eiec-
sstive franchise, or in the right to hold
"of1ice in any State, on account of race,
''color, nativity, property, education or
creed"
The right to hold Office is here added to
the right to vote, and it is also rendered
4ala%ful t9 afix property as s4aGatiHqRaa1 so Hsa
been to admit the Chiuaman to the exercise
of suffrage. The House declined to accede
to the senate resolution, and called for
committee of conference. The motion that
this request be acceded to led to long and
exciting debate in the Senate on Wednes-
day, which ended in the adoption, by two
thirds vote, of substitute reported by the
Senate Judiciary Committee, as follows:
sThe right of citizens of the United States
ssto vote or hold Office shall not be abridged
"by the United States, or any State, on ac-
.count of race, color, or previous condition
'of servitude."
This amendment in turn seems to have
been unsatisfactory to the House, which on
Saturday again modified the measure so as
to forbid deprivation of "the right to vote or
"hold Office, on account of race, color,
s'nativity, property, creed, or previous con-
edition of servitude." 1t remains to be
seen whether the amendment, in this shape,
will be sufficiently radical to gain the con-
currence of the Senate.

The savannah and Charleston r ailroad.

The bill to enable the Savannah and
Charleston Railroad Company to complete
their road has been made the special order
in the House of Representatives for We'd
nesday, the Oath inst.
The Importance of the passage OF the bill
now before the Legislature was fully demon
strated in series of articles published in
this paper during the early part OF the
pre e-snt session. We cannot add anything
to the arguments we then used, but we
earnestly hope that the Legislature, in view
of the important interests involved, in
terests which concern every citizen of this
city ond State, will act promptly in this
matter It is essentially necessary that
this great work, constituting SO important
a link in the chain of our railroad connec-
tions, should be finished at once, or in time
to command the great fall trade in travel
and freight. The nature of the country
through which the road will have TO be
built, renders every day that passes with
out seeing the work begun serious loss to
to the company and the public. The sum-
mer will soon be upon US, and it will require
the greatest exertion to complete the road
by the time indicated.
The benefits which the reconstruction OF
the road will confer upon the laborers to
be employed, and the general advance in
value of all properly along the line OF the
road, and especially of email farms in its
immediate vicinity, which must speedily re-
suit, are considerations which the Legisla'
ture cannot afford, consistently, with
proper regard for the welfare of our State,
to overlook.

The Test Oath.

The 'iron clad oath" which Congress long
ago enacted, seems destined to cause quite
as much inconvenience to the public inter-
ests as to those who are deprived by it from
taking office. The Postofiee Department
continues to be in quandary about it,,
there being maoy postofice towns in the
Southern States in which nobody can be
found who is able to take it. So unaui-
mously do the Southern people seem to be
averse to perjury that the Pcstoffcc Depart
ment is compelled to apply to Congress for
relief, and bill introduced by Mr.. Norris
is now before the House committee on re-
construction, providing for the appointment
of postmasters in places where nobody will
swear the ''iron-clad oath" oriing to
this bill, the fact must be established, in
the first place, to the satisfaction of the
Postmaster General, that emo person Can
s'be procured to act as postmaster for such
"ofice" who will take the oath in question.
And the bill expressly provides how he
shall be satisfied of this. 1t is to be done
by more swearing; "by a&lavits to be fled
sand preserved. First. all the inhabitants
of such village are to be asked to swear the
s'iron, clad oath" and take the postof1icc.
Upon the refusal of every one to do so, oil
of the Inhabitants are to be asked to swear
that none of them can or will swear the
said oath, and all the oaths that no such
oath can be taken are to be ssfled and pre-
'served" by the United States. Then, and
then only, the Postmaster General may look
out for some "loyal," swell -disposcd," and
in other respects 'not disqualified" person
for postmaster.
Here is crcum,ocution with vengeance,
and the more there is of it the greater are
the embarrassments which are disclosed.
The New York Evening Post, leading Re-
publican journal, suggests that simple
repeal of the iron. clad oath would soly.
all these difficulties, and speaks OF the oath
itself as ga mere sieve TO catch men with
''conscieDce, aud TO let men through with
s'out it. 1t ought to be called a law to pre-
"sent men of truth and good repute from
ssholding any Office in the States lately in
rebellion"
