TAMMANY VICTORIOUS.

The sachems of Tammany have sue
ceeded in removing the deadlock in the
New York Legislature by the outright pur-
chase of one Winans, republican. The
price for which this dishonest creature sold
himself was cheap only S75, 000-cheap
for him because no money can compensate
him for the infamous position he occupies,
and cheap for the buyers because his vote
will enable them to carry through their
schemes of plumber now pending in the
Legislature. The whole transaction is one
of the most disgraceful character, to the
buyers as well as The bought. 1t stands

AMNESTY.

The tender of Amnesty to the South by
Congress rests upon the consideration of
expediency, not upon the principle of adj
ijusting rewards and punishmcnts accord
ing to past political deserts. The rebels
fairly forfeited their political rights in the
government. We are not bound to accord
them any. But we find them occupying a
part OF the country, and able by their per-
sonal influence to exercise indirectly a vast
power in shaping the politics and social
institutions Of the South although not per-
mitted to hold Office or vote. 1t is prob
able thatth very condition of distranchise-
ment in which they are held operates
through sympathy to give them a stronger
influence than if they were fully restored
to the rights of citizensh p. Now, then, of
what advantage is it to the government to
keep the rod suspended above them Will
it help us practically in the work of recon-
struction to continue to punish them? Will
it make them any betterP We have held
them DISTINGUISHED for the past six years
without any beneficial effect so far as we
can see upon their temper or the restora-
ton of their States to peace and prospect
ty. So long as we continue to hold them
thus they are positive enemies of the gov
eminent by their present condition, to say
nothing of their past relations. They can
not be any worse than they are. Enfran-
chisement will take away the dangerous
power which sympathy gives them. They
will work in the daylight instead of the
dark. The union which exists among
them as class will be broken and they
will divide. Clearly it seems to us that
the argument is decidedly in favor Of am
nesty AS . measure Of policy for the gov
eminent. Particularly at this time is it
expedient when. the government is pre-
pairing to exert all its power to crush out
the lawlessness which prevails in the
South. The offer of amnesty shows that
the government is actuated by no vindic-
tive spirit towards the people of the South
in its steps to suppress the ku-klux. 1t
makes no war upon former rebels because
of their past misdeeds, and amnesty is its
pledge to that effect, but it visits with a
sternly corrective hand those who are
leagued against the laws and trample the
rights of persons and property in the dust.
Amnesty casts the past behind it and looks
to the present and future. The question is
not what do the rebels deserve, but how
shall we best restore the South to peace
and prosperity, for their and our benefit?
Unfortunately the Senate has defeated it
at this session, and postponed its adoption
to future time
