The utter confusion Of all principle
which the Radicals arc introducing
into the government, is exhibited in a
uill passed In the House on Monday.
II declares that the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments have been duly
ratified, and are binding on every.
body. Ii this be 80, the declaration Of
Congress 90 that effect Is wholly su-
porhuous and obtrusive. The Con.
stitution can gain no additional sane.
tion from any aflirmance by Congress,
and if there is a well-grounded ohjec.
tion TO the ratification Of any alleged
Amendment, Congress cannot cure or
remove the objection. Any right af
fected by it win bo passed upon by
the Courts of Justice, unless Congress
bully the Courts by an act forbidding
them to consider anything which Con.
gress has declared to be settled This
has been proposed, and we shall not
be surprised to see il proposed again.
A step was taken in this line OF usurpa
tion in a bill passed last week in the
House. 1t denounces fine and impris.
onment against any State Legislature
,hat shall entertain proposition TO
reconsider vote adopting an amend.
ment to the Federal Constitution
This is ominous of future frauds, by
which partisan Legislature may sud
denly pass an amendment hostile TO
the interests of tho people, and the
next Legislature, elected, perhaps, on
that very issue, shall be powerless 10
repeal the fraudulent act. This last
: pretense is as imprudent an usurpa-
tion rs the radicals have yet attempt
ed The public interest demands that
, until an amendment is finally adopted
by the requisite number of States, ,aiy
one of them shall be entirely free 10
J reconsider its action. At any tine
when three .fourths Of the States con
, cur, then an amendment is adopted,
= and is a part Of the Constitution
, which only can be changed by a ike
q three.fourths vote Of the States. Bat
Q till this concurrence, ii is both Just
D and desirable that every State should
z maturely consider and if necessary
5 revise the action of Legislature in so
g grave matter This has always
}. seemed selfevident till now. But
mark the change wrought by the
}. policy of the Radicals. An alteration
Q in the fundamental law is no longer
c looked upon as the grave, deliberate
e act Of an intelligent, rejecting people
1t is now considered by the Radicals
as party triumph, sort of snap
e jugment got by fraud or force, and tC
n be kept by the same means. The ne
gro suffrage amendment passed by 4
i Pennsylvania Legislature elected on Q
n pledge not to pass it, is model, il
;, seems, which the Radicals expect tC
= follow, and to facilitate such frauds OF
:, the people is the aim Of the bill passed
Q last week. If a Legislature fraudu
$ lently adopt n Radical amendment
}. and new and honest Legislature, a
d the next session, rctract the fraudu
3, lently obtained assent in obedience {,
9 the will of the people, then all th'
i honest legislators shall be fined anC
n sent to prison. This is Bingham's bill
/ which has passed the House and gon'

CESSNA PHoToGRAPHED.-Ihe cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune
(RadicaD has been speculating upon
the result of the next election for Con
grcssmen in Pennsylvania. He gives
his idea of the member who repre-
sents the 10th Congressional District
after this manner: "John Cessna j;
an inscrutably little man, caucus

when the door was closing 10 con
verts, when the last invitation had
been said and the last bars of the
awakening hpmn sung. He rushed

and appeared as saint washed ant
forgiven. Since that critical period
his voice has been the loudest amongst
the singers of the new song. He wa'
elected to Congress by about six ma
jority only. He is noted this session
as a man who took advantage Of {
mapping time OF the House TO crowC
into seat a man notoriously moi
elected. In appearance he is dul
yet sinistcr.faced man, Of that sort al
whom simple men look, saying,

The Radical papers still devote
much of their space TO the case Of the
invenilo African at West Point
Though General Howard, who has
made q fortune as dry nurse to young
negroes, declares 10 published let
ler that he suffered the same things
when he was at West Point, yet the
Radical Congress and the Radical
press find wonderful difference in
the fact that now 1t is a negro who
has n grievance. In spite OF every
effort TO monster it, it seems small
enough. One cadet objected TO be
the negroes messmate, and another,
when the weather was hot, sheered
off from close proximity, in the
drill. Perhaps not one Of the Radical
editors, who are laboring to make po.
lltical capital out of these incidents,
would relish this association for their
own children, but they are determined
to force it on the children of other
people. We shall, probably, have a
new iron.clad oath devised, in which
passionate fondness for negroes will
have to be professed and sworn to by
all Radical appointees to Office. But
this ought not to be applied to the
cadets now at West Point. Most oi
them bought their appointments from
eminent Radicals, and paid then
money.
This transaction was formally rati
fed by the Radical majority 10 Con
gress, who excused Covodo and But
Ter, of Tennessee, on the express
ground that tho money paid for thel
appointments enured to the benefit o
the Radical party. Now it is mani
festly unjust TO impose new terms int
these Radical contracts. The boy
fought as white boys, with the feel
r ings and habits of white boys. 1t !
fraud for the Radicals now TO say
"you must sleep with negroes, or w
: will turn you out, forfeit your pun
chase money, and sell your places L
, others" This is unjust-yet who ex
poets Justice or decency under th
! present Radical regimel The negr
!, was sent to the Military Academy b,
the Radical leaders, as negro wa
thrust by military power into th
Senate of the United States-to dc

GETTING UNEAsY.-Grant's Cabinet
is getting so filled up with "bloody
handed rebels" that Secretary Fish
has made three movements TO get
out. But "the greatest captain of the
age" invariably refuses to accept his
resignation, stating that he cannot
keep house without him so the said
Fish is invariably compelled to take
the water, in order to watch the "ma.
chine" while the government" is on
"bust" 1t is indeed a fine thing
for the country that there is one sober
statesman in the Presidential family
who prefers duty and honor to pleasure

nTREAsoN ODIoUs"-There is no
surer sign of the rapid decay of radi.
calism than the appointment of Major
Aekerman, late of the Confederate
Army, TO the position of Attorney
General of the Uuited States. The
nomination by Andrew johnson of a
man of such antccedents would have
been promptly rejected by the Sem
ate, and would have furnished fresh
fuel TO keep alive the rage of the peo-
pie against that parsonage. But we
have no doubt that Major Alderman
will make much better adviser OF
the President than Attorney General
Hoar. He certainly would not be
guilty of such an absurdity as that OF
Hoar, who gave the opinion, less than
year ago, that war still existed in
Texas. Nevertheless, it is hard that
a loya Massachusetts, man should have
to make room in Grants cabinet for
a Georgia rebel.
The Harrisburg Patriot remarks
'that Major Ackerman, formerly ol
the staff of General Robert Toombs,
of the Confederate army, now Attor-
ney General of the United States, has
not yet entered on the duties of hii
Office. Major Ackerman is in favor
ofan immediate admission Of Georgia
and is also of opinion that the recon
struction OF the Southern States hal
been fully completed. From all O.
which we conclude that Major Aek
erman, late of the Confederate army
is very sensible fellow. Our intense
loyalty is, nevertheless, greatly shock
ed TO see one of the truly loyal from
Massachusetts compelled to yacat'
the Office of Attorney General of the
United States TO make way for {
Georgia rebel. Treason should b,
made odious"
