If the signs are not deceptive and the
revolution does not reverse the law Of
nature and run backwards, the Radical
party through whose agency the Southern
people have been plundered, insulted
and ruled despotically, will lose control
of the next popular branch of Congress.
The N. Y. Sun, edited by Lincoln's Assis-
tant Secretary of War, shows that of the
thirty-one Congressional districts Of New
York, the Democrats carried, in the ju-
dieial election, twenty-four, 50 great was
the revolution in the rural districts. The
Sun continues
OF course it is not to be presumed that the
Democrats will be able TO maintain their
supremacy in all of the twentY-fOur dis
tricts at the election next November. But
the vote just cast shows that it will require
a desperate struggle for the Republicans 10
wrest more than five or six of them out OF
the hands of the Democracy. thus leaving to
that party a decisive preponderancc in the
delegation from this State in the next Con-
QresS.

In another column will be found the
Social Equality Bill of Sumner. the
great High Priest of the Republican
party.
The party of which he is the
leader advances to the position declared
in this measure. They now propose by
the friction of practical Legislation, which
will force the blacks into unnatural rela-
tons with the whites, to obliterate the
prejudice of caste" 1t is to be made
crime which is to be visited with severe
punishment for keepers of hotels erected
for the accommodation of whites to refuse
accommodation to the blacks. 1t is pro-
posed to impose heavy fines on railroad
companies who in providing accommoda-
tons for travellers shall presume to
recognize distinctions of race in their
arrangements. 1t is proposed to invade
the churches with this no-distinction in
novation and to compel white and black
to occupy the same pews. 1t is proposed
to huddle the children together in the
schools and thus to implant in their sus-
ceptible minds the dogma that it is imPi-
GUS to regulate any relation of life what
ever by so absurd a condition as the color
of the skin. And to sanctify this dogma
of Republicanism, the partizans of that
school propose to go farther and declare it
penal offence to have separate cemeteries
for the burial of the dead!
All these provisions, and more of the
same kind, are embraced in Summers
bill They accord with the sentiments
embraced in the lecture which leading
Republicans at Washington placed in the
mouth of the Mississippi Senator, Revels,
and sent him forth to utter before the
audiences who assembled to hear that
Republican idol. And they accord fully
with the Social Equality legislation of
the new Republican regime in this State.
ReveIs is unquestionably proper repre-
sentative of their creed. 1t is embraced
in their school bill 1t is the distinguish
inc feature of their Railroad scheme.
Sumner makes the field on which these
vital questions are to be fought; as broad
as the Union, for which God be praised
The struggle may be a hard one, but the
iscuo cannot he doubted

The people of this State have disa-
greeable remembrance of the Committee
of Five" 1t was an instrumenhIty OF
the Republican party IN 1858, When II
was defeated in the attempt to adopt
constitution which would have isfran-
chised probably one-half of the white
citizens. 1t was the same formidable
body on which our distinguished follow
citizen, Judge Sharkey, fired with militia
nv ardor, with his lieutenants Potter,
Wharton and Green, led his famous
charge; and who, dislodged from the
State capitol, re-appeared in force to re-
new hostilities in Washington City.
1t was the hope of our people after the
members of that famous conclave had
all been provided for under the new reg
ime. that in their misfortunes they would
at least have rest from its torrents But
in vain. Softly and gently as the fall of
a snowflake bill drops upon the Senate,
declaring that each of the said Commit
tee of Five, viz: w. III. Gibbs, 7. w.
Stringer (colored) A. S. Dowd, james
Weir, and III. w. Barry, together with
their clerk (these committees must all
have their clerks shall be compensated
at the rate of six hundred dollars for their
services, making in all the snug sum of
IL -, civ bupdrod dollars
The bantling was decked in the robes
of purity. 1t was lucky, too, in Its
champion who was no less person than
the renowned Republican leader, Morgan,
of Yazoo. He pleaded that the Com
mittee had not been paid for their toll
and perils in the cause of the dear peO-
pie. They had the consciousness of a
good deed well performed, but would
that keep together the souls and bodies
of impecunious carpetbaggers who have
come all the way here fIom ''hum" to tax
and to disfranchise unfGgiven rebels? 1t
was a burning shame which the tear of
the recording angel could never blot out,
that these laborers had not received their
hire. This appeal was not in vain. The
bill passed the Senate in less time than
it takes to tell the story.
But the small hand of vigilaIt Conser-
natives who have on more than me occas-
sion come to the rescue of the people in
the nick of time, were on the abrt. Har-
dy and others protested stronglyand gave
ominous limitations that all was lot right;
and Stone, by skillful manicure, secu-
red the privilege to move reonsidera-
ton. Meantime the auditors books had
told frightful story. They reeoied that
that the Committee of Flee had akeady been
paid for their se1vices-viz: from the ad-
journment of the Convention to the issu-
ance Of the Military Governors procla-
nation, the identical term during which
the resolution appointing them specified
they should be compensated. This fact
was announced in the Senate. 1t explo-
ded like bomb-shell, and Morgan's elo-
quent appeals vanished into nothingness.
Stones motion prevailed. The bill was
recommitted. A search warrant will
scarcely bring it to light To the Pilot
we leave the task of defining the trans
action. We suppose it may be caIled'a

vote that was given against sustaining the
Governors veto, while thevote published
in the same issue of the Official Journal

met with an ignominious defeat.
The Pilot says:

the moral health of the Republican party OF

ocratic votes and Republican votes all told,

that of its opponents numbered so many as
ST.
The facts were really these; one Dem
ocrat voted with thirty-three extreme
Radicals, making "a; and eleven voted
with the twenty-seven Republicans who
stood by the Governors veto, making 80.
Every Democratic member who was in the
city yesterday voted upon that measure.
Suppose no Democrats had voted, the
bill would have passed over the veto by
six majority. And so much for Republi-
can virtue. This is not the first time
that the Democratic members have had
an opportunity to show their power, and
exert their influence to stay the current
of Radicalism, and justice demands that
they have the credit of it. With sorrow
we are compelled to record the fact that
one broke the ranks when he was most
needed in the line.

The Radicals in Congress have a sum-
mary way of adjusting matters to the
necessities of their political organization.
In Louisiana, a Democratic delegation
was elected by overwhelming majorities,
which they cancelled in majority of the
cases by sending the members elect back
to their constituents, without permitting
them to take their seats. But they went
further in another case. They admitted
Newsham, Radical, to a seat who was
defeated by several thousand majority.
The Washington correspondent of the n.
Y. Times (Rad.) accounts for this action;
"That as the rebels had by force of arms
prevented a Republican from being
F'elected, the House was determined to
''show them that there was power high
ser than their ballot-boxes, which could
select whOmsoever it choose, and that it
twas of no consequence what they did in
"the district, and it seemed to be to some
''of the majority no sort of consequence
"what unconstitutional, unjustitiable and
''foolish action they may perpetrate in
'fsuch cases.

No Amnesty.

Credulous people who based their hopes
on the pledges of the Republican leaders
that their party would pass an act of
Universal Amnesty as soon as the States
were reconstructed under Republican
auspices, are doomed to disappointment
In the House on the 18th, Stokes, OF
Tennessee, offered bill for removing the
political disabilities of every person dis
franchised, and ON a test vote it was de-
feated by III to 59-eUery Democrat potiny
for 1t. In the Senate on the 10Th, Rob
ertson asked to take up bill removing
the disabilities of five thousand persons.
Whereupon, on the motion of Sumner,
the great High Priest Of the Republican
party, it was indefinitely postponed by
vote of % to 23-aU the Democrats noting
against pOstponeme'at..
1t is now evident that the party in pow
er do not intend to pass an act of Gen
eral Amnesty. In the desperate straits
to which they are reduced, they intend
to retain their control over the pardoning
power for the purposes of political specu-
lation. Thus, they will sell pardons by
the retail or wholesale for Republican
votes. The market for this character of
political prostitution is open. Who wants
to trade?
