A LEGISLATIVE LEPER.-The New
York Tribune publishes scorching par
agraph on Winans, the Republican mem
Der of the New York Assembly, who, it
is reported. received 100000 from
Tweed for his vote in favor of Democratic
schemes. The Tribune says:
1t is probable that the darkest hour
in the life of woman is when she wakes
in the morning, after the loss of her hon
or, and feels how empty is the future,
and how pitiful is the price of her infa-
my. The past, with its possibilities of
honest life, selfrespect, and the esteem of
others, is gone forever. Nothing is left
but mere living on the wages of shame,
which stick tc the fingers and burn them
like boiling pitch. A leper. when he
first discovers the fatal whitening of his
skin, is rot more lonely. Into this moral
prison house Orange S Winans entered,
on Saturday He may try to brazen out
his foul misfortune, but he cannot conceal
from himself his sense Of the permanent
worthlesspess of the life he has stained
and polluted. In all 1.-The aims houses and
penitentiaries of the State there exists to-
day no creature so needing. but beyond
the pity Of charitable hearts.

If evidence were wanting that the ku-
Klux outrages are invariably committed
by Democrats. and upon Republlcans,the
great nun Der of instances in which Gov
erment officers have been murdered or
been forcibly expelled from the South,
would place the truth of the assertion
beyond dispute The shooting of a
South Carolina Tax Collector and his
wife and daughter, which is narrated IN
our dispatches this morning, is addition
al proof of the fact. But. as if to render
it indisputable, the South Carolina De
mocrates have taken to compelling their
victims TO make public remuneration OF
their principles as Republicans, under
actual torture and threats of death. The
terrible power for mischief of this secret
political organization is indicated in this
effect; and the absolute necessity of pro-
lection by the General Government is
made clearly manifest in spite of the
most subtle arguments lately advanced
by the leading Democrates IN Congress
against the constitutionality of interior
ance under the law just adopted.

AMNESTY.

| The u. S. Senate having refuse to
consider the Amnesty bill passed in the
House, this qustion remains quiet unit
/ December. AS we have long ago expressed
our firm conviction that the non-recon
ferring of the elective franchise on peo
| pie who have voluntarily sworn away theil
allegiance to our Union. cannot be eonsid.
cred punishment, or, even if SO consld-
| cred an exceedingly light one,-it cannot
be expected, that we feel any sorrow for
the failure of the Amnesty bill.
When, six years ago, Horace Greeley
first brought out the noGsensical parole :
Universal Amnesty, universal elective
franchise, this combination was held by
ninety-nine out of every hundred Repub-
licans to be the ebulition Of distorted
sentimentality. Many may have changed
their views and some even have proclaim
ed it liberal craftsmanship, we how
ever connot agree with them. We hold
still the same, possibly obsolete, opinion bat
which was held by millions six years ago
that the rebellion which had the destruc-
ton of the Union as its sole aim and OBJ
iect, was CRIME. not only legally but
much more so, morally. If tbs liberal
to ignore this criminality and to make the
criminal, whether confessing his guilt or
unrepentingly glorying and even contin-
uing in his crimes. an object of morbid com :
com passion, we never have been, are not,
and hope never to be liberal"
Reconstruction is praisworthy and
highly to be desired, but it ought to be
desired by both the contesting parties; !;
a reconciliation which is forced on an OPP
ponent who is still stubbornly opposed to
your views and aims. is no Cancellation at
all. We merely lay down our weapons
and surrender our defences, while our
enemies seize and use them for further
agressions and of course more successful
ly than ever before. The present condi-
ton of the South certainly furnishes no
evidence that the former rebels are In
state of mind, which should make them
desirable co-workers in the administra-
ton of our commonwealth. The eEmity
against the North has not diminished In
intensity But give us that eUedence,
prove to us, that an Amnesty will be
means for doing away with ku-klux
crimes and for the restoration of law and
order. and we shall gladly withdraw our
objections for the prevention of further
crimes is much more important, than the
punishment of former misdeeds (if, as we
said before, the Withholding of the elec-
tive franchise can be called punishment
for urrelentipg rebels however such
evidences are still wanting. The idea,
that an Amnesty could have any effect on
the Ku-Klux organization is merely a
very undefned, very vague supposltlon,
for which the Southern character forn
ishes no support.

THE AMEN ID RI e = is.

A few days ago, Senator Blair, OF
Missouri, In speach in the Senate OF
the United Sta4es, re- affirmed the cor
rectness of the sentiments contained In
his Broadhead letter, and declared that
If the administration of the government
should be committed to the Democratic
party, they would treat the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments to the con-
stitution and the several laws passed In
pursuance thereof as nullities. To
which the Memphis appeal responded as
follows:
'sOur dispatches from Washington,
published in yesterdays Appeal, an
nounced that General Blair had reltera-
ted his Broadhead letter; and we pub
lish this morning liter from the Mis-
souri, Senator, in which he aYows him
selfin favor of the complete overthrow
of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments to the Constitution, and the var
ious laws which have been enacted for
their enforcement Such is the position
which Blair and the Democratic party
have assumed. They declare that the
reconstruction measures were usurpa-
tons, and being in violation of the con-
stitution, carried by force, fraud and
perjury, are "null and void - They
maintain that usurpations thus enacted
instead of being accomplished facts,
cannot be made constitutionally valid.
The Democratic party in the next con-
test for the Presidency, must not lower
its flag by an acknowledgment of either
the wisdom or validity Of an admmltted
usurpation of a most mlschievous and
revolutionary character-one that strikes
a death blow to the very vitals of the
Federal system, and clears the way of OBJ
stacles to speedy and absolute despot-
ism. How can the Democratic party go
! before the country, and after holding up
the unconstitutional outrages of Radical
ism, exposing their usurpations and the
lnfamies of the reconstruction acts, cool
ly wind up their assaults by gently bend
ing their heads and declaring 1--WE ac-
cept the situation;' the measures upon
which we have warred and about which
we have made such a hallabaloo, are
accomplished facts The people
would hiss such contemplate inconsistent
cy and party trickery out of the canvass.
| The Democrats propose no such absurd
position. In the next contest for the
Presidency the battle cry of the Democ-
racy will be the Reconstruction Acts,
conceived in sin and brought forth in ini-
quity, are unconstitutional. and having
failed to give peace, let them be ex-
plunged from the records of the patton.
Down with the usurpersl Lift nigh the
Constitution" By these signs the Dem
ocrats can conquer.

spoke for himself and not for the Dem
ocratic party But the Nes York Her

THE LEGALTENDERLAW CONSTITUTIONAL
The Supreme Court to-day declared
the legal-tender act constitutional, by u
vote of five to four. This reverses the
former decision of the court on the ques-
ton of contracts made prior to the pass
age of the act in 1862, and establishes
the legality Of all provisions TO the law.
Chief Justice Chase. and Justices Nelson,
Clifford and Field dissented from the de

The president has issued a proclama-
ton calling the senate to meet In extra
session on the 10Th OF May, to take ac

the doings of the Joint High Commission.
1t Is to be hoped that the commission

settle the fishery question, as well as the
Alabama claims and the Fenian disturb

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM appears
that bill was passed near the close Of
the Forty-first Congress, and supplements
ed by the last Deficiency Appropriation
bill, appropriating SO, ,000 for the use of
the President In carving out the provis-
ions Of the Civil Service act. The Presl
dent has announced his intention to use
to the utmost extent the power conferred
upon him, and will doubtless work
thorough reform in the civil service.
The qualification hereafter in all appoint
ments under this act is fitness, and not
political consideration, and all recommen-
dations to Office by members of Congress
and others must be submitted to COM
petent Board of Examiners.
