SENATOR REYELS.

from tho Albany Journal
The election of Dr. Revels, O colored man,
to the United States Senate from Mississippi,
presents in direct and practical form a ques-
tion arising naturally under the reconstructed
condition of the South. 1t was not to be sup
posed that the colored race, admitted to
equality of civil rights and political privileges
by the fundamental law would be content to
exercise the merest elementary functions of
citizenship-to satisfy themselves with voting
white men into Office, and resist the desire
and temptation to seek for themselves the
honors and emoluments of public station. In
South Carolina and Mississippi, for instance,
the black population is equal in numbers to
that of whites. 1t embraces many shrewd,
intelligent, ambitious men. Such persons
naturally secure the confidence and support
of their own class, and the wish to be repre-
sented to them must be instructive. Thus we
find that the reconstructed Legislatures
invariably had many negro members,
Nor has the experiment of fusion been at
tended with so many difficulties as were
anticipated. In Georgia, special occasion
of trouble arose, through the judicial folly and
blindness of the Democracy. But in North
and South Carolina, Alabama and Louisiana
the freedmen Legislators have acted with such
moderation and wisdom as to command re-
spect, allowing themselves to be guided by
principles of sound craftsmanship, avoiding
| all extremes and evidenclng an eagerness to
prove themselves worthy of the high trusts
bestowed upon them. So far as State admin
istration is concerned, the problem may be
considered settled. But we have yet to see
the black man taking part in affairs of the
National Government, occupying seat in
Congress, and impressing himself upon the
Federal policy. Can the barriers of custom
and the prejudices of race be sufficiently
overcome to render persons of color welcome
in the halls of the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives And will they be able to hold
their own in competition with the intellec
and political ability of the race that has
heretofore held exclusive control in matter
of state
The election of DIR. Revels presents thi
issue in striking form, alike from the ex
alted nature of the Office to which he lay
claim, and from his own personal character
istics. No doubt he is an admirable type @
the more intelligent colored people. He ha
enjoyed the advantages of a superior cole
eiate education, of service in the pulpit, an
practice as professor of medicine. He ha
mingled much with men, under favorabl
circumstances, and gained a good practici
knowledge respecting ''the ways of tn
world" In successful canvass for tn
, State Senate of Mississippi, be develope

il before the people, and sound views of poll
tical economy. Even the conservative papers
of his section approve the choice, believing
as they do that no other leading member of
the Republican party would be more likely { o
advocate a policy of moderation, generosity,
and mutual forbearance, He will certainly
be more devoted to the welfare Of the coun-
try, and prove truer exponent of the
peoples interests, than was JEFF Davis when
he occupied the seat to which the Doctor has
been chosen. II colored members are to
figure hereafter in the proceedings of the
United States Senate, it does not seem possi-
BILE to have selected one better fitted to inau-
gurate the practice.
The point is made that ReVels is disqua-
lifted under that provision of the Constitution
which requires that Senator shall AVE been
for nine years a resident Of the United States
This resuscitates the dictum Of Judge Taney
in the Dred Scott case, that o negro was not
o citizen, and assumes that he became such
only by virtue of constitutional amendment
in 1866. But the practice of the majority in
Congress has been to regard all persons as
citizens who are natives of the Union, and
the disqualification is held applicable only
to aliens, who are invested with the suffrage
itself through processes of naturalization.
Even If the other view were taken, precedent
is against literal application of the theory.
When Texas was annexed, and when
California was admitted, their inhsbit-
ants had been foreigners, yet they
we're Immediately accorded representa-
tion in the Senate and House, notwithstand-
ing the requirement Of nine years citizenship
for one and seven years for the other body.
A similar plan will no doubt be pursued
towards the reconstructed States If DR..
Revels is denied his:seat, lthe pretense may be
set up that he is legally disqualified, but the
fact will be that his color operates as bar
against admission. In view Of the long and
successful fight which the Republican party
has made for civil equality, it does not seem
probable that the maj jority in the Senate will
care to assume this ground. The test must
be made some time-better have it come
while the friends of the colored race contro
all departments of the Government, and while
they are likely to have the encouragement OF
sympathy and fair play.

THE REIGN OF CRIME.
From The N. Y. Herald

FTOW tM N. i. Hdutu.
Nothing in the history of Christian cities
the worst capitals in the worst ages Of the
past--can equal or approach the dreadful
prevalence of crime in this metropolitan
shamble. Scarcely day passes without its
frightful story. Our city news is just now
only spared chronicling two more murders,
similar in character to the Townsend butohery,
by the failure of the murderous aim in both
cases. Already in the one month of this year
we have chronicled a murder or attempted
murder for every day in the month, and not
one of these crimes but seems inspired by a
spirit of fendish savagery equal to the worst
act men or devils could conceive. 1t is not
only that the pistol and the knife are on all
hands the ready arbiters of every difference,
but it is almost as if some general madness
to kill had taken possession of certain classes,
and as if this frenzy rioted in the certainty

Representative Shelby NJ. Cullom Of Illi-
nos, to whom has been rendered the Gov
ernorship Of Utah, will probably accept, but
he will not enter upon his duties until
March next, when his term in Congress ex-
pires.
Old members of Congress agree that the
present session promises to he one Of un-
paralleled dullness, unless General Butler
should succeed in throwing some fre-brands
into the House about the fishery question,
San Domingo, or the Alabama Claims.
The House Committee on Commerce will
meet again on Tuesday next, but will not,
until after the holidays, go to work on the
River and Harbor bill, as they have not yet
received the full report Of the Chief Of En-
gineers.
The Tribune has the following:
1t is considered certain that the XIII Con-
gress will meet and organize on the 4th Of
March next careful canvass has been
made by persons interested in the organize
ton, and none of the reelected members
favor adjournment without electing officers.
1t is understood that caucus of the Re-
publican members of the House will be called
some time this week, the principal object be-
ing to consider the Amnesty bill, and endeavor
TO so harmonize conflicting views as to make
the bill in some form a party measure,
and secure for it the united vote of the Re-
publicans.
1t now seems doubtful that Gen. Schenck
will be prepared to assume the duties of Min
lister to England, which position has been ten
dered to and accepted by him, before the close
of the present Congress. Prominent gentle
men who are in position to be best informed
say that he will not leave his duties in the
House until the important business Of the
Ways and Means Committee is disposed Of,
and that, in any event, he cannot arrange his
private affairs SO as to leave them without in
jury before two months.
bill will probably soon be produced in
the House changing the Territorial capital of
Utah from Salt Lake City to Corinne. The
object of the bill is to remove the Uuited
States officers from a city in which there are
few Gentiles to rapidly-growing town in
which there are few Mormons. 1t is report
ed that the citizens of Corinne, and, in fact,
most of the Gentles in the Territory, favor
the change, and that sufficient land and other
inducements will be offered to protect the
Government from loss by the removal.

Young men who went from this city to the
great West are constantly returning home,
satisfied that Augusta and the old State of
Maine are not the worst places in all the
world. If their experience in the western
country will make them more contentcd with
their native State, and set them at work in
earnest to improve and develope its resources,
a great point will be gained. and experience
will have had its legitimate work. Through
out the West, and especially in the large
cities, there are many young men out of en-
ployment, who are eager to work for their
board, and without means Of returning to
their New England homes, which they left
a little while ago to snake their fortunes"
Every young man should understand that
there is work to do everywhere and in every
department of life. The broad fields of the
West invite to honest toll, but do not produce
wealth without an effort from the seeker
therefor. There arc mines of wealth in good
old Maine, lying in every direction, waiting
for the active hand and trained intellect to
bring them to light. "Plough deep to find the
gold, my boys" and do not get discouraged
if you have to bring up few panfuls OF
worthless dust at first.
