Thursday Morning, January 31,1867.
Ccu. Albeit Sydney Johnston.
The New Orleans Picayune, ol
Thursday, has a glowing and very
touching account <>f the removal ol
thc remains of tho gallant officer
named above -Ute hero chieftain <>f
thc Confederate anny, in tho South
and the South-west. We must en?
deavor to condense the Picny <? :c*sac?
count of the ' eremonics.
Thc State of Texas had sen! a
eomniilt' c for the purpose of super?
intending tho removal. Both Ken?
tucky, thc State of his nativity, and
Louisiana, where his remains wore
first deposited, had hoped to maintain
the guardianship of them, but neither
conk! fairly enter into competition
with Texas, of which State he had be?
come a citizen; to which he was at?
tached by the ti?'s of a lengthened
residence, and in whose behalf he had
drawn the sword ho was always ready
to wield in defence of liberty and
right. The Pictyune says the majori?
ty of those in the procession -.cere of
the gentler sex, who strewed flowers
upon the hoi o's coffin, and who, ever
since, have tended his tomb with
pious Care. Speaking of ihr proces?
sion, the Picayune says:
.'Iso strange r cadd have suppos? d
that the plainly attired pall-bearers
who walk-, d beside the hearse vrcro
generals- high in rank and in reputa
don- LU..:, who had ied armies to
battle and to victory: who had de?
fended cities, and wlio had ocgauitsed
campaigns. Among them were seve?
ral who had been the friends and
associates of thc deceased in tho old
army of thc United Stab..-;, and sonic
who had be< :i his lieutenants in the
recent war, and who stood beside
him on that fatal but glorious day,
which deprived the Confederacy of
his services. There was Beauregard,
thc favorite- son of Louisiana, wlio
immediately succeeded him in com?
mand of the army; lhere was Bragg,
his energet ic and rndofai ig LUIG chief
of staff; ti:ore was Buckra r, who so
gallantly fulfil lcd tfreVhieftwin's or?
ders, Lythe heroic hut fr;iitlcs: de?
fence nt Dortuebon."
Besides the>e, there wer? among
the pail-:>.-aiv;s Generals Richard
Taylor, li. i . Hays, Longstreet, Jeff.
Thompson, J >. l-l. Maury and several
officers of the late Confederate army
from Texas. The procession wan
many s?pfai% s in li ngth, and tr.e cere?
monies were f::ll of food for reiite
tion. Te:, i- rly-nurturcd mr's and
their moth, rs marching many squares
?hrough the muddle of the dabbled
streets; thc men gr. at in story and
uehit vcment, who in citizen's dress
were yet generals, who needed no
commission, ns the Northern jouv
aals sai<l nitor the first hattie of Ma
nassau; and a multitude of others of
lessor note, but men of venerable
years, and not* d for their talents,
their constancy, their devotion, their
sincerity, their piety and courage;
Suel: was tho appropriate funeral
-,/./. .ye of tho most gallant officer of
the Southern army -tho victor and
the \ie:im of the bloody field of Shi?
loh. The final resting-place of his
remains v>i!i be at Austin, Texas.

Whatever may be thc cause-tho
apprehension of a speedy defeat, or
tho disease nigger on the brain is
reaching its climax- -it is certain that
tho radical organs and leaders are
going stark mad, and. if lot alone,
will soon end their ov? n caret r. For
( ney. with '-two presses," both daily,
'said, in a recent issne, that "if the
law stands in our way, so much the
worse for the Taw."' ami Thad. Ste?
vens said, in one of his tirades the
other day:
"J de ay that t Iii H Government has
! ever been a republic. 1 deny that
I tho State of PemiRylvnnia has ever
' l een a republic; and I wish this Con
I tn.-e.ss would take iL in hand and make
! it a republic. What was tin; repub
: lie contemplated by thc Declaration
j of Independence? All mern are born
j free and equal, and all rightful Go
! vcrnrnents emanate from tho consent
I of the governed.'"
j Forney's theory is hosed solely
! upon party expediency. Thc Con
i stitution and thc Onion answered
very well for the old fogies of the
revolution, but not for the present
situation of the country. Flo argues
! and asserts that we have tho same
right that uiir forefathers had, and
I that we must not be restrained by
I "the policy of a recreant President
i or tho decision ?d' courts/' That is
to s".y that neither the Constitution
iorlhe law is to be alhnved ip ob

j tiona according lo the necessities of

r which is that the old "Government
! must bo pulled down uutl a radical
I edifice erected m its stead. i
j Stevens' assertion is based upon |
j the ta^me theory. Tho United States, j
! according to.it. never was a republic; j
the framers of bli? Constitution and j
I Iii e founders of the Uu.io:i did hot ?
] understand what ikey w-rw -doing, '?
I and although "there were giants (?h |
? intellect) in those day.-," it has fallen
jio the lot of Steven ? and Forney to
J convince the peep!? of America that !
j the men who signed and published I
the Declaration of Independence
! wi re ignoran tot- tho first principies
yet Stevens admits that all rightful
Governments emanate from "Ibo !
( consent o? the governed.*' The utter j
! inconsistency of this theory, with his
measures for thc government of the
; Southern people, need not be com
i nu ntcd on. lint it must bc confessed !
? that, judging from such wibi declara?
tions and assumptions, the whole

A paragraph was published a few
> days ago, taken from the Washington
; correspondence of the Charleston
i Mercury, to the eTibet, that the com
. mission to Washington fro:.i North
I Carolina would, on their return home,
. advice the people of that "State to

I could be had on which North Caro?

It hus been noticed that if new
scheme of reconstruction is being
concocted ut Washington. Tho New
York Thne?, <>f the 2 G tb, instant,
gives the following as tho plan in ex?
tenso. This plan, it will be observed,
puts the right of suffrage upon an
educational qualification, and would
exclude the ignorant of both the
white and colored:
Karly in November hist, I infirm?
ed you that leading politicians ni tin
North and South--Republicans, De?
mocrats and ox-reOels alike-had
been in conference upon a ?lian,
whereby, should it be adopted, it was
believed the unfortunate differences
between the North and tin- South,
and between tho Executive and Le?
gislative branches of the Govern men t,
would bo satisfactorily adjusted; und
I also informed you that thesegen
tlemen were urging the President tu
adopt this scheme, and recommend it.
to the favorable consideration of the
South. Suffrage and amnesty formed
the basis of tbat proposition. Mr.
Johnson gave to tho suggestions of
these patriotic gentlemen tin1 i>n>>t
careful and sincere consideration,
and was at once favorably impressed
with them. But inasmuch as the
amendment to tie- Constitution was
then before the p>x>ple, mid its adop?
tion or rejection undecided, the Pre?
sident deemed it impolitic, if not ab?
solutely improper, to present the
matter'to the count ry. believing es
ho docs, and he h?s UjcUid Upon this
belief, the ass?rt?c&is to tie- opalrary
notwithstanding. The Southern peo
plo should decide upon the proposed
ann nehmen ti without let or hindranci
.from th'.- Executive. The .Lim-: i ?us
come when it mr>v be <a;'cly as nm -d
that the CirnSfribriional am. adln-id
will fail to vee-'iyo. the approval ci
the Southern Stales, un J " n; ? i ; I i
assnmption Mr, Johnson is consider

proval to the main mUures of tin
sch me ?irst above mentioned, mid
of reeommendingjit -adoption OT lin
Southern ?-'tates, in deference *.? th<
demand of the people of the S?rth,
and in which South? nwcpiesenlativ,
men who have i.? heard, upon tin
thinks that the negro population of |
the South should have such sufe-j
.guards tim Kvn ab.iu! Hiern".* to j; - j
cure .to th mu tue permanent enjoy?
ment of their freedom and of all
civil rights. The negro, armed with I
the ballot, can as well proT et him-self
os any other citizen. As Mr. .h im-j
does not discover any power bethe
Generala( hivernaient to legislate upon
the subject of suffrage in the S bites, j
lu whom rests tho exclusive control j
of the matter? Som:: of the Northern !
States -Massachusetts and New York, I
for example have given the ballot ;
to the negro. lu one of them is an
educational, in the other, :i property j
qualification, and il is asked why j
may not South Carolina, for institu?e, !
be placed npon tho sam;- footing wit ll '
Massachusetts, as to those who' shall j
hen-after be admitted to the elective
franchise, and why may not the loyal
representatives of the former bu ad?
mitted to Congress upon the same,
footing as the representatives of the
latter? Working out this plan in a
practical form, let the people of the
Stab) of South Carolina so uiaendl
their Constitution and laws as to ox-!
tend the elective franchise solar as
Massachusetts lias done. As an in?
centive to this reform, tho President
intimates his readiness to issue al
proclamation of amnesty to all the!
people of South Carolina who may i
have approved the movement. This!
reform accomplished, the people of
that State elect loyal represen tali ves
to Congress, blacks voting with j
whites, as indicated above. Et would
then vest with Congress todetermine
whether these representatives should
be admitted. ? nave good reasons'
for saying that this plan for adjust-!
ing the existing difficulties in thc
way of rec.instruction is now re- !
ceiving tho serious consideration of |
the Administration, and has been !
discussed in <'-'biiiet with a view to
its adoption. lt differ.-, from Mr. j
Greeley's amnesty suffrage schurne i
in this, that it provides for separate I
State action and proposes a qualified 1
suffrage, and it leaves impi'acticnblo j

Tho New York World thinks that
Boutwell's bill, virtually nullifying
the recent decision of the Supreme;!
Court, will give the President a
splendid opportunity to send a|
powerful voto message to Congress'
It says:
"The gag which thc majority of
the House put upon the discussion of j
Boutwell's bill for overriding a re?
cent decision of tho Supremo Court
has. accidentally been of great service.
Tho topsy-turvy night session to
which it led has done more to lix
public attention on tho measure than
could have been accomplished bj- thc
widest latitude of debate; and it is
of so extraordinary and indefensible
a character, that little was needed iu
the \\:t\ of discussion but to make it
conspicuous. To choke off and
strangle debato was itself a great
blunder: but it was a greater blunder
for Congress to make a great decla?
ration of war against the Supreme
Court. The great English philoso?
pher, Locke, said that certain classe.-,
of religionists ?ever make au outcry
against human reason until they find
that reason lifts np bs voie:- against
them. By nn open quarrel with th
Supreme Court, C?>ugress ad vor Lisi
to the conn!ry that the authoritative j
expounder of the Constitution--and I
by fair inference thc Constitution it- j
: elf disallows their measures. .
"When Congress undertakes to
override a judgment of the Supreme
Court, they proclaim, in efiect, their
intention to abolish thc Constitution, 1
anti set ut) their o-.ri irresponsible
will. The Constitution contains al
lonu o ' OJ restrictions ooo;: the!

the Senate, it will
d
more telling m its exposure ol dan?
gerous designs, th au any state pap< r
ever published either in England or
America, lt is such an opportunity
as Mr. Johnson has every reason to
covet.
"At a time when he is about "oe
arraign? d as a usurper, lie e;-,;i turn j
the public sentiment of tho civilized I
world against his accus.-rs. by show
ing that the most august tribunal of j
the nation has pronounced tln-ir eon- j
demnation, and that, smarting under!
its judgment, they have virtually re?
nounced all allegiance to tlie Consti?
tution they have sworn to support.
If the Senate concurs with the
House to afi'ordhim the opportunity,
it will be like a fatal false manouvre
on a field of battle, by which the op?
posing general is enabled to finish
bis enemies by a single vigorous
charge. To write that veto message
is a task which a Marsha!! ur :i Web?
ster might have coveted as a better
occasion for their massive and over?
whelming logie than auv th ev ever
found.
"if we descend to tho bill itself,
und look into its intrinsic merits, we
shall timi that it will not bear discus?
sion. This very Congress a* it? his*
session, recognized the existence ol'
the Federal judiciary in all the
Southern States by passing a law
readjusting the circuits, and also,

Federal, Circuit and District Courts,

A correspondent of tho St. Louis
Times v.rites:
The stranger in Washington, down
Louisiana avenue with Iris taco to tho
West, sees before him, when ho gets
t ) ibo front of the City Hall, on tho
South shh- of the Potomac, and on a i
commanding eminence, an edifice,
which, at thc distance of three milos I
from tho point of vision, resembles
a Greek temple. This is Arlingtoti j
House, thc residence, before thc war, |
of General Rober! E. Leo. The
Arlington t slate was one of thc largest, j
handsomest and most valuable in i
Virginia. At an early period of tho |
war, the mansion was stripped of j
everything valuable that could be j
carried away by soldiers from Penn- I
sylvania and New England. Pictures, j
mirrors, statuary, mr.- and costly j
books, old china and silver plato, j
were all gobbled up, and sent off to j
! the .'loyal'' North. These articles
are now to be seen tu dozens of i
houses in the States I have name'. j
A faithful negro servant, who had I
remained on the place, saw this steal- i
ing going on day after day, and at j
last came over to thc city, j;ot one of j
the servants of the White House to j
secure him an interview with Abra
I l am Lincoln, laid the facts before-'
him, and I ?egged bim not to permit ?
"Massa RobertV property to be I
thus despoiled. Mr. Lincoln's reply,
in substance, was said to be that he
could not interfere with the military; j
that the soldiers ucre only doing at
Arlington what thev soon would do'I
