AiIicanlZlng pians OF loyalty" and Pm
ritaniSmi


1t is clear that the Government offered
them must be abominable or they would
not reject it. Some form Of civil Gov.
ernment they need. Every element OF
lawlessness is now let loose in their
midst. The negro classes are idle and
violent. They are subject to neither
moral, social nsr civil restraints, and
satisfaction is the only limit of their
outrages. Pillage, bloodshed, rapine
aud murder are their constant employ
ment. For these purposes they are
armed aud organized, and if either ia
centive or protection were needed, they
have both, in the counsels of emissaries
and in the absence of adequate re-
traints upon their action.


The business of the South is annihi-
lated. The producing classes, white
aud black, are idle; beggary aud rags
are the consequence. Property is val
ueless, as it may well be, VIII re settled
law and civil protection are wanting.
Plantations of the finest character are
daily sold for a mere pittance, TO meet
the Pecuuiary necessities of their own
ers. All pursuits are PROSTATE, and
idleuess and want have come upon
thousands, who would gladly work if
they could find employment.


Good Government would greatly allie
viate, if not Immediately do away with
these distresses. The conclusion then
Is that the Governments built up by
the blacks under Congressional super
vision are not good, and indeed that
they are so far evil, that the people
think il better to "bear the ills they
have, than tly TO others that they know
not Of"


Is it not time to lesislate with some
other view than that exclusively of
making traiters take back seat 7"
The country can 10 more dispense with
the services of the whites of TIE
South in restoring the political
fabric than il can DO with
out their aid in paying the national
dek, and repairing the fearful ravages
Of the war. We waive all discussion
Of their treason and its deserts. A more
practical question is, do the people at
large deserve TO be distressed in every
interest in order to accomplish the wild
scheme of negro supremacy The
whole country, North and South alike,
will suffer from negro domination in
the ten States. The rule of the African
is not penalty for the rebel merely,
bur for the entire nation. Ii
feels that penalty now, in arrangement
of business, depreciation of property,
industrial troubles, in its shipping, its
agriculture, its trade and its taxes
When negro. votes shall be felt III the
General Government, the penalty will
be more painfully mannesi, ana the
puniShmeu. which excludes SoLtherR
white men from political power will
be universally felt in worse fanati-
cism and worse folly than are already
ex xhaustipg the popular patience.


The interests of the cosutry forbid
negro supremacy at the South. So init
mately are the sections associated that
the whites of that region cannot be har-
assed and prosecuted without impart-
ing. to the North also, portion of their
misery. The mission of the patriot is
now to heal rather than to lacerste, and
TO exalt the negro because we cannot
trust the white man, is to ruin the coun-
try for the qualification of a false and
shallow prejudice.

100000, 900, Cor forty per cent no in
justice would be done. The proposition
is, however, in effect to make the debt
81, 800, ,00o, 900, and diminish in the same
proportion the peoples ability to pay it..
You double the creditors claim, while
you diminish the debtors means of pay
ment one half, increasing the value of the
rich mans dollar, and making the poor
mans labor less valuable.


PAY THE DEBT IN aREENBAoKs.


The enormous debt was incurred upon
a paper coinage standard, andi it must and
will be paid; in the same coin in which
it was contracted; and this conforms in
all respects to the terms Of the original
contract This priaeiple being recog
nized and affirmed By us, and the rev.
enue laws being revised and SO adjust
ed that capital and labor shall pay each
its fair proportion of taxes, and you
will hear NO murmurings or complain
ings by the loyal people of the
weight Of the load they bear. Great as
have been the sacrifices, the gains are
greater than the losses, and the regener-
alton Of the republic is worth all it has
cost in treasure and blood.


When the interest bearing debt has
been reduced, the people relieved of un-
equal taxation, and the whole country
brought into normal condition, we may
with propriety sand fairness, propose a
reduction in the volume of the currency.
The opposite course would be the re en-
actment of the law of Pharoah requiring
the children Of Isreal to make "the full
tale of brick without straw"


WALL STREET VS.. THE PEOPLE.


We have been retiring the greenbacks
with the moneysreceived fronA taxation,
instead of reducing the interest," bearing
indebtedness, with the delusive expecta-
tion that this policy would bring us to
a gold standard. We say delusive, for
the historical fact is that, with all the
contraction, gold has steadily advanced
in the temple of the money changers-
the gold gambling dens of Wall street.
But it will be said that contraction Of
four millions per month could have no
sensible effect, either upon the gold mar
ket or general business of the country"
Has that been the extent of the contract
ion? If I can read and understand fig
ures, there has been a much larger re-
duction of the circulating medium, and
one large enough to account in some
measure, for the general prostration Of
business, and the paralysis of the indus
trial interest of the country. 80 ~

The chair submitted the following:


To the Senate of the United States: =


Inasmuch as the sole power to try i'm
peachment is vested by the Constitution
in the Senate, and it is made the duty Of
the Chief Justice to preside when the
President is on trial, / take the liberty Of
submitting. very respectfully, some OBJ
servations in respect to the proper mode
of proceeding upon impeachment, which
has been preferred by the House of Rep
resentative against the President now in
Office, that when the Senate sits for a
trial Of impeachment it sits as a court
seems unquestioned; that for the trial of
an impeachment of the President this
court must be constituted of the men,
bers of the Senate, with the Chief JUS
tice presiding, seems equally SO. The
Federalist is regarded as the highest
contemporary authority ON the construc.
ton of the Constitution, and in the 44th
number the functions of the Senate, sit
ting in the judicial capacity Of Court
for the trial of impeachment,ar examin-
ed. Ina paragraph explaining reasons
for uniting the Supreme Court with the
Senate in the formation Of a Court of
impeachment, as is proposed in the plan
of the convention, while the inconveni-
ence of an entire incorporation of the
former into. the latter will be substan-
TALLY avoided. This was, perhaps, tho
prudent means This authority seems to
leave no doubt upon either Of the propo-
sitions Just stated, and the statement Of
them will serve to introduce a question
upon which I think it my duty to state
the result Of my reflections to the Senate
namely: At what period in the case of an
impeachment Of the President shonld
the Court of Impeachment be organized
under oath as directed in the Constitu-
ton? It will readily suggest itself to
any one who reflects on the::abilities and
learning in the law which distinguished
SO many Senators, that besides the rea-
son assigned in the Federalist there must
have been still another for the proyis-
ions requiring the Chief Justice to pre-
side in the Court of Impeachment. Un.
der the Constitution in case Of vacan-
cy In the Office Of President the Vice
President succeeds and it was doubtless
thought prudent and beftting that the
next in succession should not preside in
a proceeding through which vacancy
might be created. It was not doubted
that the Senate, while sitting lin its or
binary capacity. must necessarily receive
from the House Of Representatives,, some
notice of its intention to impeach the
President at its bar. but it does seem to
me an unwar-antable opinion in view Of
the Constitutional provision that the
organization ofethe Senate as a Court of
impeachment under the. 4 Constitution
should precede the, actual announcement
Of the impeachment on the part Of the
House, and it may, perhaps, be thought
a still less unWarranted opinion that ar.
ticles Of impeachment should only be
presented to Court Of Impeachment;
that ne other summons or process should
issue from an organized Court, and that

An Omcer Convicted OF n Mtsdemcnnor at


Once Dismissed.


Among the many ofilcers who were tried yesterday
charges preferred against them by their captains
sergeants and roundsmen was patrolman Farsari,
formerly Of the Fifteenth but who was lately trans
ferred TO the Twenty-seventh precinct. The COM
planant sergeant Phillips, was sworn, and testified
that on q certain evening week or two ago he met
Farsari in the street. who offered him an unbroken
paper OF tobacco. The sergeant then asked him
where he had obtained It, when Parsari told him he
had got 1t at store which he had found open on
Broadway; that he (Farsari had told him that the
private watchman Of the place after they discovered
the place open told him TO "take something and he
payne wine; that he orered the wine to the sergeant
who refused to take II and who told him he had done
wrong 10 taking It from the store.


A clerk at the stevens House, Broadway, was
sworn and testified that Farsan had entered the
ONCE OF the hotel about two O'Clock In the morning
wouldn't like TO have a good drink OF wine They
said of course they would" when Farsari produced
the bottle he had taken from the store and the three
men then partook freelyr OF the wine.


The proprietor OF the store that had been found
open also testified that he had missed some tobacco
and cigars from the store the morning after the night
and the officer.


At the close Of the case, when all the witnesses had
testfned Mr. Acton told Farsari that II he had any
witnesses who could testify in any way favorable to
him In regard 70 the he should bring them before
tns boaru ~ nhe o'clock this morning.


Farsan then LEFT the room, when Commissioner
Brennan remarked that the evidence against the
onhcer was go strong, and In fact sustained by his
IFarsarsl own admission that he took the wine that
he had no doubt the Board had already made IN it's
mind as 70 what should be done with him. II was
not safe, he thought, to allow such man az the
evidence had shown Farsar TO be to wear n shield.
Commissioner Acton then made a motion that
Farsari to dismissed the department which was
unanimously adopted: An ofrcer was then sent out
into the hallway to bring Farsari back. The latter
was found just the point OF leaving the building
When he appeared before the Board his sentence
was announced and his shield was taken from him.
He was aso ordered TO divest his uniform OF the
police buttons.


This prompt proceeding on the part Of the Board

created no small sensation among the policemen who
were present In the court room, not only from Its
being unexpected, but rom the fact that II un-
precedented, as 1t ts the general rule whenever o
member Of the department Is to be dismissed for the
Board 10 hold private session. The Commissioners
resolved that no man Of doubtful character, or
who acts no honest man should act shall remain
on the force moment after he has been proven TO
be unworthy Of the department.

An Englishman's house is his castle. Except in cases of felony, Majesty it. self pauses at the bolted door. Laws that governed a nation from the days of Runnymede-that have survived the wars and revolutions of two continents that arc as Inherent to tho Anglo Saxon as his life blood, and which he brought With him into the wilderness of America, are now threatened for the first time in history by the barbarian governments of the Southern States. The people of the South have yielded without murmur all the political rights and privileges demanded of themi they have accepted degradation, until at last their social Integrity Is ac- tually imperiled. No sane man, not a villain Or bigot will maintain that it is the province of political law to reg ulate anybody's social relations In fact, laws should be framed in strict obedience to them. The plot now un- der way, to be capped by the opprobi- otis and disgusting negro equality bill, is therefore ih plain and direct viola ton of the laws Of God, the rights of mankind, and the Constitution of our country. So cunnihgly has this scheme been worked that every resisting stay has been quietly torn from us. The militia bill, recently passed, gives legal authority to any military negro organ ization that may exist in the communi- ty. The police bill, rushed through with such unseemly haste, secures to them that branch of the public service, while both are auxiliary to that giant iniquity, the negro equality bill. If we judge the people of Louisiana aright; If we judge white human na- ture alright, the provisions of this bill can never be inforced. The prison does not standthat could hold s white man in its walls for defending his so- cial integrity. No human power ever invoked in this or any other age, can enforce obedience to such an infamy. Better flee the country like pestilence, and let the wolves howl in the market place-better seek the snows of Sibc- ria, or the trackless woods of some un- settled domain-than thus yield what nothing less than Deity has right to demand. Even the negroes, in their blind, foolhardy legislation, will soon find there is no rose without a thorn. They should pause ere they force every individual white man into a position where he will be obliged to shelter and protect his family and social rights in obedience to the instincts received from his Maker, and to whom only he is accountable for them. A quiet, firm resistance to this usurpation must be maintained for few short months, until the country is finally and fully redeemed through the agency adopted by the Democratic party. Grant claims to desire peace; if his negro and white supporters here carry mat ters to the dangerous extreme in which forbearancc ceases to be virtue, on them be the responsibility.
