AH 1.-THE attorney general argues tif

valuable - 0at9u P0st.
If the cross marked amdavits which
Nir. sherman received from Kellogg and
Packard were read 20 Che negroes who
signed them, IL IA also safe 10 say that
The majority Of them would swear that
thew did not swea what was represented
Every one so far who bqs had his affidavit
read 10 him has %repudiated it absolutely.
Here, then, IL downright forgery aud
fraud, palmed first upon the United
States senate by q report sent to the body
by the president Of the United states,
and then circulated officially throughout
the country NetO York E1Press.
The heart Of the northern democracy
is fixed in it, purpose its voice has gone
forth with no uncertain sound. IT re-
mains for the south to declare itself with
equal frmness and emphasis. Our Lead
era in congress must rise te the hight OF
the argument, and brace their nerves to
meet the exigencise Of the SITUATION
They must understand that they are the
servants of a people who will not consent
to see CHER dearest rights bartered away
by time-serving politicians, and who are
prepared for anything rather than a
compromise with usurpation.-Nea0 or
leans Picaytme.
That there must be an understanding
between the senate and the executive
must be apparent to all men the moment
the unsurpation is clearly shaped. The
senate would not dare to venture upon
so lawless a step unless it had the as,
surance of the executive that they would
be sustained in it; for it would be an act
of violence than would not stand a mo-
ment unless sustained by torce-by the
bayonets at the command OF the eNecu-
tive. This is the very conspiracy which
some of the wisest of the fathers OF the
republic apprehended; and they thought
they had provided against it-Rtch0'o"a
Dispatch. a.,
Everybody who knows anything of the
situation, knows that the republican ne
proes of the south will not tolerate those
of their own color in voting with the
democrats. While there awe been
abuses on both sides, in those republican
states where persons and property are
not nrDltCUbu-W lltlC NV NNScNst
officers are most industrious in shielding
plunderers than in protecting the lnno'
cent--there is no doubt that ten demo
cratic negroes have been intimidated
where one republican has been induced
to change his vote by anything OF the
kind. The carpet-baggers r nothing
for the rights of blacks or whites. Their
object is to plumber --Hargord TlRe'.
Now and again we find fippant para
graphs in the newspapers about the dry
discussions of the constitutional proyis-
ions for the election of a president which
are occupying SO much space in the pub
lie prints. Fortunately for the coun-
try. these discussions are not dry; IN
stead of that, they are the most attrac'
tive reading matter which can be luf,
nisbed at the dresent time to thoughtful
citizens. We have often lamented the
fact that during the war the teste OF the
constitution was so infrequently-and
often necessarily so applied to public
questions. 1t is safe to say that mn
tenths of the citizens who have become
voters since 1865 are without that
knowledge of the constitution which was
common among all classes before the
war.-NeW York Post.
