paiiiY Nsryrs. "~Q?H^Sl2B?TO-?r:.. WEDNESDAY MORENO.'SU l'TKMBElt 27, 1{??5. The Hon.'__ C___-? ?aid to be "a citizen of influence and pO_tUon in Georgia," pnblisbO- a lottor in Hi'.- Augusta papal-, in which he m_l-M ihe following roni.irki.blo declaration : "Tho Gov ernment of the United Slates according to the law of-?mtioiif?, h.w acquired'the right to rofuuo to ub ??continuance of -Ucll political organisation in ihe Stale as has show?.?tBolf hostile to the conquer or and ha? aided tilo wir, and so much of our Con stitution and li.uvs n.i . oulravfiie the fundamental policy of thii couxiU'jror." "? . _ , .."". This ?8 what tho ltcpuiiiicaii- claim?what they Jiavo manifested .very intention to carry out; and it become?"intor..?tit?s to.pa to inquiro upon [wfiat foundation of right thoy can premium to build iu advocating a doctrino oonoiv audalartliug,. There Jia-'hlways been In. tho Government tho power t_ maintain inviolate the Constitution and Laws of the United Slates, and it has repeatedly been rccog ni-od and exerciat d by tho Judiciary in declaring VoitTall act?, whether of states or individual-, re pugnant to thorn, and in punishing all oll'o-cee agaiiiBt them. But tbo Itepublicans, in claiming sucirn right, claim another and .different power from thin?a powor given by tbo law? of war, and Independent of tho Constitution?a power to sub stituto the policy of party for the Constitution. Ib there any basis for euch a claim ? . ' Tho question presenta itself to ua in two phases. In one aspect, the Southern States and the General Government auataiu to each other tho relation of independent powors, tho one conquerod by the other. Of courao, in this caso, tho law of nations npplioa, and to tho conquoror belong tho epoila. But thia is certainly inadmissablo. The war was undertaken and aupporier! by tho nation for th? purpose of putting down any such aasumption. In ihoother aspect, these States bear to tho Govern ment the relations accorded by the Constitution. Tboeo are the only features that sho can have. If the States are not under the Constitution, and are not independent, thon they aro nothing. Tho lat ter is the only view at all admiseable in consistence with the true sense of the poople and tho propriety of tho war, and tho error of those who advocate the right in question lies in applying to thia atato of the caae principles only applicable to tho circum stances of tho other. VTe aro not astonished at tho Republicans seizing upon any pretext to fur ther their 6nds, but we are surprised that a South ern man should maintain euch a position. For he roforB to a right acquired by war and by tho law of nations, a right different from what before ex isted; he must, therefore, allude to rights acquired by the Government, entirely outside of and inde pendent of tho Constitution; in other words, the right of tho party in power to substitute their own mil for the fundamental law. Some difficulty in the question arises from the peculiar structure of our system of government, under which tho States exoreiso so many attri butes of sovereignty; heneo the relations of the fioccding Statea to the General Government at the cIobo of the war was moro analogous, in re spect to the matter before us, to tho caso of an independent nation,conquered by another, than to tho caso of revolted subjects quelled and subdued. Por in the latter case the questions would be such only as related -to individuals?their pardon or punishment, the losa or restoration of property, &c; while in the former they are Buch aa portain to tho condition.of a uation; they aro questions of political organizations, of constitutions and. of lawa. One may be inadvertently led, therefore, to draw concluaioua from the principles which govern tho rights and duties of different nations, rather than from those which pertain tot ouo nation in a atato of civil war. But while wo admit tho analo gy, w? must recollect that there is only an analogy, and not a direct resemblance. If the Constitution means anything at all, tho groat fact of its exis tence creates at once a distinction between the two cases which it is folly to disregard. "VYbile in both the question is regarding tho offoct of suc cessful war on affairs of fitatc, in ono cabo there is no other tribunal, and the decision must be con trolled by the law-of-nations; in the other there is aif established tribunal, and that is the Constitu tion." To this mu3t tho appeal bo made, and tono other. For wo hold, that while.hotwc.cn tho United States and other nations those-principles of natur al justice which enlightened States havo sanction ed and adopted in their dealings with each other folly apply; yot in our structure of government tho law of nations has no place as rogards the re lations of tho States to each other and to the General Government. If that had been a sufficient guaranty for the welfare, tranquillity, improve ment and happiuesa of tho jieoplc of tho United States, there! "wou?d ha v? been no need to estab lish a Union and to frame a Constitution for the better securing of those ends. 3\'or upon any of the great questions of domestic concern touching; tliosc relations have tho rights and duties of tho Statea been argued to flow from any other b?ui.o, except iu the matter of secession, and that has been decided against by tho uprising of the nation. Tho right to malic war upon a State was never claimed or exorcised as one resulting from the law of nations, but as one in accordance with tho pro vision of the Constitution which gave to the Gov ernment the power to suppress and punish insur rection. All.tho acta of tho Government, with ref onde to tho conduct of the war, were dono as acts under the authority of tho Constitution. The Gov ernment in no case looked outsido of that for its power. Can it bo with reason assortod, then, that a .power which dorived its right to inako war and to conduct war from tho Constitution, upon tho completion of its duty suddenly acquires new rights which its authority never contemplated.? It would bo just as reasonable to say that an agent, after successfully performing tho duties, relating to.his trust, thencebecomesat once endowed-with' higher rights and privileges than hi? princiDal. If tho Constitution wore sufficient for all tho ab normal circumstances of insurrection, much moro should it be suuiciout when that has boon quelled, for. tho natural and usual condition of peace. Consider some, of the offcets and: consequences of tho allowance and " exercise" of " this cfaim of tight outsido of tho Constitution?of right by tho law of nations. First, we arc struck with tho astounding fact, that in times of peace, whon the encroachments of a Government on tho liberties of a pcoplo arc less to be dreaded than at any oth?r timo, tho Consti tution can only bo changed by tho people of three fourths of the States by express provision, whilo in 'limo of war or domestio disturbance, where tho. Government, with the military powor in its hands, should bo most jealousiy watched, the Govern ment alono is allpwcd to occasion thej?anio rosult. In the noxtplace, no nation governs itself by thq VCof ! QJtiona. T_-B.-law. only ope. atoaio tweon different and independent powers. Hence if wo conoedo that the United States has right? accruing' frond the law of nations, they must opo rato hi relation to independent States; and to ad mit that thoy' oxist with refoiOhee to the Southern 8k-to_, is to admit tbo full and complete sov-r rolgnty of tho States a_d-__ewli_?- extomt"Vt'.li?7 doo_S_-,6?'_.cc_-{o-!" 'tifia certainly a ou-lo?s re- \ alt of tho present position of the ultra Republi cans, that th'?y stand upon tho same platform as did tho Swcssi-mititu. Truly, extreme? have met. Again, who is to interpret this law of liationt*? Cloarly, the dominant parly, and mitt, too, ac cording to it? own will niul pleasure- Hence a party having not even a majority of tho poopU of tb?rUnion?having not oven the authority of mob law?may 3t<H; to to States, never allowed to have been without the palladium or tho Union, in the most vital"maltern;- und those dictate.-*, too, sub jeet to all the change-*] whieh tho caprice or changes of party may occasion. Can such a right in any way ho deduced in con fidence with t!n> stability and fundamental prin ? iploH of a Republican Covcrnmohl? Can any claim bo more inimical to tho vital interests of the Con stitution ;tud tho Union? - These opinions make a direct issue with tho ba sis of the policy of the Administration, and wc feel assured receive no tolerance at the hands of the Frcai<Jent. Ilojias taken his stand hpon tho Con stitution, titra that nlonn ns tlio tfuo and excln&ive foundation of all tho'rights and all the duties of tho Government. Duty In (lie l'ri>idi-ul, Norlli uml South. [From the New York World, September 1!).] It is ou alj hands agreed that the next sesaion.pf Congress is likely to bo the most important jn o?ir annals. More skill, sngaeity and wisdom arc re quisito for'dealing with tho questions that follow tho war, than wero needed in conducting tho war itself. Whethoy, reconstruction,.; in tbo senso in which President Johnson 1ms initiated it, shall be come an achieved fact, or whether the President shall be thwarted and humiliated, depends on tho action of a Congress in which a strong, determined and inilueiitial faction will make a vouement oppo sition to his plans. In a question of such magnitude, and so far reaching in its consequences, neither the individ ual judgment and preference of Andrew Johnson, nor of Charles Suinncr, Thaddens Stevens, nud thoir coadjutors, are entitled to prevail. A ?juea tion bo largo and so vitally affecting every public interest, ought to be decided by tho public roason and the general voice of tho country. This Con ' gross waB not eloctod with any reference to this question. It neods instruction by the poonle; and the elections about to tako place, all over tho coun try? afford an opportunity for Buch general expres sion of pubUc opinion as ought to be deomoct au thoritative. Tho courage and aggressiveness of tho Radi cals, when the sossion opens, will depend very much upon whether the olectious shall amount to an unequivocal endorsement of tho policy of tho President. If it shall clearly appoar that he is supported by tho people, that the popular tide runs strongly in his favor, tho negro suffrage leaders will lind hut a feeble followiug. In view of the new Congressional election to tako place next autumn, members w?fl not bravo their con stituents and the general house of tho country, if the elections this fall sanction the plan of the Pre sident. But thorc is another set of ciroumstances which will prove eren more influential than the North ern elections. It depends, after all, mainly upon tho people of the South whether the President, shall be defeated and humiliated, and their section be kept for a long period under tho iron heel of military authority. Their bearing is, thus far, ad mirable. But if they should do anything, or ,allow nuything to bo done, by which tho explosive and passionate Radicals could rekindle.public indigna tion in tho North, and caiiso a reaction, -their con dition will bo sealed for a long time. The Presi dent is powerless against Congress, unless supported by a public sentiment too strong for Congress to resist. The South is therefore bound in self-protection, ns well as by every motive of duty and patriotism, to aid the President and their frieuds hi tho North, oi/ the unobjectionable character of the men they elect to Congres?, and the unequivocal snbn?issivo ness evinced in thoir State management. If, im mediately after reorganization, they will get their State Legislatures together, and ratify the pend ing Constitutional Amendment,' thev wdl thereby groatly aid their oaUBO. As they all acquiesce iii the destruction of slavery, there can be no serious objection to their taking this action, whieh will finally fehut tho ?loor against tho aspersions of the Radical* on their sincerity in submitting to eman cipation, and prevent the reopening of doubts as to its constitutional validity. Their failure to do this would, of course-, be no reason for the rejec tion of their representativos to Congress, but their ratification of tho Ameiidment would increase the moral power of the President, and his control over the subject. Tho most important tiling of all, in its bearing on the diff?rence between tho President and the Radicals, is tho character of the men elected by the South to ropreaent them in Congress. This is not a subject for ingenious reasoning 'and hair splitting distinctions. Tho South must face the facts. If thero ho anything certain, it is thot members who have been identified with tho rebel lion will bo rejected. The new oath, which until repealed, has the forco of law, requires all mem bers of each house to swear that they have never rendered voluntary aid to the enemies of the Uni tod States. At some future day, when confidence is moro fully re-established,. this law may bo re pealed; but certainly not at present, and probably not until after the Southern soats are all filled. The South inuat not be foolishly blind to tho in surmountable nature of this barrier. Even if tho Clerk of the House of Representatives should read the'n?r?eH "?f members claiming seats'from tho South, they could not act until sworn in;- and tho oath is such that no active participant in the re bellion can tako it. This fact so narrows the field of selection, that in some few Southern districts competent men cannot be found. vI5ut it would be bettor to take a man ignorant of. politics, who had boon conscripted, against his will, in the Southern army, than tue ablest man in the South, if ho has been* prominont in tho rebellion. There will be etiob a deafening hullaballoo raised by the Radi cals over Inen who, nie not sound, such a raking up and parading of antecedents, such charges of a readiness to commit perjury, that evon a few blaok sheep in the Southern delegations would greatly prejudice the policy of the Presidont. The South ought to tako warning by tho avowed oppo sition to the President, which is at present so rapidly developing among tho Northern Radicals. The contest in Congress is likoly to bo fierce and passionate, and wo trust tho South will so act as to aid their frionds, not their enemies. Tut. Commebce of Enoland.?The London Daily ' NewsB&yB: - ' '..': Tho Board of Trado roturna for tho 'mouth of July show a falling off in the estimated valuo of our exports, hut the decrease, ?280,954, on tbo present occasion is less than two por ceut. below tho samo period of last yoar. Taking tho whole seven mpi ths, a decline has taken place of ?4,199, 902, or moro than four and one-half por cent., the total for 1805 having been ?88,242,018 against ?92,441,950 in 1884. Although at ?rst sight this result may/appear tliscouragipg, it is easily ex plained by the fact that tho reduction is in a great degree duo to tho lower prices now prevailing, and not lo any actual depression in irado. If, howevor, it could be proved that tho estimated valuo accurately represents tho real position of cur foreign commerce, thero would still be no ground for apprehension, since the present doolin? is at most temporary. If our exports were four and a half per cont. below last year, .they were at all events seventeen per cent, higher than 1.863. The host comparison, however, that can bo mado is to look at the actual quantities of goods shipped, and in this respect it will bo found that if traue ?b not progressing very rapidly, at any rate it is not going back. The most striking alteration is tho Comparative cessation of imports from the United States owing to the unfavorable harvest ladt year, a?a explains the roason for our oxports thither having correlatively fallen off. -Egypt baa also for tho time ceased Ui be a corn supplying country, but Russia has mado a considerable advance Indian Railroads.?The through Une from La boro to Moult an, on the Indus, is now in operation.
