~ disayows any intention TO apeli-
g iize for, or bolster up Ku-Klax
Iawlessness in South Carolina. The
idisavowal was unnecessary except
as to those less familiar with the
JOURNALS record than the Era; but
that it was necessary to prevent mis-
construction abroad, we think the
JOURNAL will, itself now, allow.
The JOURNAL will bear witness
that the Era meyer Endorsed the plan
Of Southern Reconstruction, other
than as the less Of two evils. We
certainly never indorscd the plan
entire, as political principle; and
the same is true, we believe, Of a
majority of the Republican press
here and elsewhere. As a compyo-
mise measure, made necessary by
the practical alliance between Radi-
cal Democrats and Radical Ropub-
licans, conservative men accepted II
| in preference to perpetual Military
Rule and uBsettlemeDt.--d atlanta
Era.
The Era Justly presents the views
upon which it acted, and, when re-
construction had assumed that form
which left to the people Of Georgia
for instance) the only alternatives
Of acceptance or continued Military
rule, possibly the Era did right in
urging acceptance possibly We were
wrong in believing that Congress
had no power to infliet a greater in
jury upon the South than that ex-
crted in its plan ofrcconstruction.
But we have long since accepted
the fact striving toaorgct its cruel
ty and ever hoping that natural td'ey
so grossly violated, viii ultimately
triumph aud restore this fair land
to the dominion its Deserves
These, however, are questions Of the
dead past and Of times slow evolu-
tions and have nothing whatever to
to do with tho responsibility" Of
southern reconstruction. That rests
with the party in power.
The Era says the Republican par
ty was urged by necessity--the plea
of tyranny in all ages and with as
little truth nthis as in most other
cases. What did tho republican
party proposci Was il pcacef II
brought unnecessary discord. Was
il strength 7 1t lost more than il
gained and every year will lose a
little more. We argued at the time
that the Republic party parposed an
EMPIRE, the only political condition
in this country in which 1t can as
sumo the responsibility of Southern
reconstruction and live,
1t is useless to deny that noblcr,
wiser and moro benign plan might
have been devised. Long before
tho war such plane had beon matnr-
cd by benevolent men of the North
for the solution Of the problem and
they might as well have been car
ried out afterward--nor would there
have been rs much difficulty in re-
storing peace saa order in the
South if our domestic affairs had
been left to citizens known to the
Constitution.
We did not intend to say so much
but wo wish to explain to an adver-
sary whose ability VIC have admired
that the only issue Mt present be-
tween US on tho subject Of Southern
reconstruction, is, that the. republi-
can party is wholly responsible for
this "blackest picture in the Book
Of Time" We submit, wo accept,
we obey, as all good citizens should /;
but while wo thus submit, we do not
forget the authors eff our greatest
evil or bate one jot of our hope in
reformation.

EXTRACT FROM THE SPEECH OF
Mr. VOORHEES,, IN THE HOUSE,
MONDAY, JANUARY, -22nd, 1871.
CONGRESSIONAL.
THE NEW ORLEANS TROUBLES.

. As look upon the scene
which has been exhibited in the City
Of New Orleans for the last two weeks
| think no gentleman upon this floor
has exaggerated its Importance. -
No one has colored the affair too
strongly. And the gentleman from
Massachusetts, Mr.. DawcsJ is enti-
tied, in my judgment, to the thanks
of the country for the independence
Of his conduct in
MOVING THE PROPOSED IsvEsTIGA-
TON,
lie is leader Of his party, and the
official leader of this House, and the
effects Of his measure must fall upon
his political friends. His conduct
is ali the more commendable for that
reason. T ess gi 1
Sir, what do we behold in Louisi-
anal An American State has been
trying for two weeks to convene her
Legislature, and trying In vain.-
She has been oudeavoring to assem-
bio the law-making branch lof her
government, and up 10 this hour has
failed. During that time we have
seen an American officer in com
nand Of United States troops, NOV
ing them every day to and from
the Government Barracks
INTERFERING IN THE STRUGGLE,
under orders from somewhere, until
at last the mob arises and goes to its
headquarters. 1t there makes de.
mand, disgracctul to them and to
the age in which we live; asks the
officer to proclaim martial law. The
answer given by him was not cred
table to his uniform or rank, but II
was, perhaps just to the servile mob,
clamoring for tyranny to be cstab.
lished on their Bonded nccks, lie
tells them to go away, or he will
give them the martial law Of grape
and canister. These are strange
events in land Of law.
Sir, this trouble arises from the
system upon which Congress has
acted in rcconstructing the South.
| have been in the South this
summerin connection with an in
vestigating committee, and | assert
that the worst governments in the
whole world, without any excep-
ton, are the governments of the
Southern States at this hour. There
Is nothing comparable to them
They are unparalleled for their in
fanny, and their outrages. Their
Lawmakers ars incompetent to make
laws. With Legislators, four-tifths
Of whom can neither read nor write,
and who pay not even a poll-tax,
onacting laws and lcvying untold
millions Of taxes upon the property
of the States, what eau you expect
except the worst government be-
meath the sunl
This state Of things exists not
merely in Louisiana, but everywhere
else in the South in the States that
have been reconstructed.
In my deliberate. Judgment the
governments have beea built in tho
Southern States ifyou will allow the
expression,

UPON THE WRONG END.

The pyramid stands, not upon its
base, bnt upon itsapex, You have
founded your governments upon the
vice, upon the ignorance, upon the
irresponsibility Of mankind not up
| on the stability, not upon the intel
ligence, not upon the classes that are
responsible for the peace, order and
welfare of society, and now you are
| reaping some of the fruits of your
| system. "Do men gather grapes
Of thorns, or figs from thistles n No
neither will you gather the blessings
of good government from a system
which has brought into power and
place tho worst and most ignorant
classes of the human race. allude
| not merely to the black element Of
the South allude also to the OPP
portunity which your plan of recon
struction gave to
ADVENTURES FROM THE NORTH,
and to the vicious aud corrupt of all
races and from all quarters of the
world. allude to that feature OF
your policy, DISTINGUISHING the intel
| iigence and virtue of the South,
which a distinguished gentleman
from South Carolina, few days ago
in this Capitol, declared had made
his State government disgrace 20
the civilized world. 1t is confined
however, to no ono State. The evils
of yeur legislation are spread broad
cast throughout all the South. 1t
salutes tho eye everywhere. Your
failure TO establish peace and pros
peri.y is universal
Perhaps there are gentlemen on
the opposite side of this chamber
who expect to derive much party
benefit from the recent Investigation
into the outrages in the South. In
this they will be mistaken. Il is true
there have been crimes there, crimes
that have made my blood boil with
indignation when I heard their re-
cital. Bat when traced them back

Cheap Meat.

The retail market in butchers meat has
been singularly unsteady this week con-
sidering The fact that figures on live stock
have remained unchanged. Prices have
fuctuated most absurdly, and, in fact,
have scarce been at the same point ior an
hour at q time To explain:
johnson q Beart, some time ago, rigg-
ed up a carr and commenced retailing
meat from it, on Washington street, near
Coonley's. Not being subject to the ex
pense of paying rent they reasoned with
in themselves that they could afor to
sell meat below the usual rates, and SO
preceded to do. The other dealers wit
messed the course affairs were taking, and,
quick to turn to account practical lesson
Of this sort, determined, for some reason,
to have share in the popular movement.
Accordingly, each one OF them all, i've
or six in number, loaded their stock of
meat and ranged themselves next to the
sidewalk, along side of johnson e. Beart.
And hear most lively traffic was estab-
hshed. Choice fresh pork sold for )
cents pound nice beefsteaks cents a
pound and ten pounds of sirloin were even
sold SO low as 80 cents. And at this re-
duction-from one-third to one fifth OF
the customary price, there seemed to be
an enthusiastic desire to make sales. In
deed, the invit tions TO come up and buy
were not unfrequently very boisterous,
and for this offense, the Marshal, on Tues
day arrested Mr. Isaac Kahn A jury trial
resulted in his acquital, and he again re.
sumed operations at the cheap market
stand. How much longer this sort oil
thing will CONTINUE, doth not yet appear
but it is safe to presume that the public
can stand tiff the dealers can.-South Benz
