UNION & AMERICAN ) SPiniT OF THE RADICAL PBI-SS- "We publislicd on yesterday an article from the Xew York 2Yms, upon the subject of re construction, and the right of the Southern States to reprcscntatibn in Congress. The following from the Chicago Times, the leading radical journal of that eectipn, ifl a tone and temper very different. Wc give it that our readers may better understand the different shades of opinion that are held at the pros ent time toward the President's policy of re construction within the Republican ranks Reconstruction. The appointment of a Joint Committee of the two Houses of Uoncrcs3 on Keconstrue- tion, and the reference to such committee of the credentials of the members elect from Tennessee, indicate that the American people as represented in Congress, intend to exert their proper influence over the whole subject of reconstruction, iennessee has mora plaus ible claims for immediate admission than any otiier fetate. in tnc iiastern part ot the fetate the majority of the white population were loyal to the Union throughout the war. That portion of the btate has elected members to 1 Congress who pcrsonallr would make worthy nnrli'rpiiirrtnli rt rr nrnsentntivna. In thi di vided condition of the State during the war its white population rendered some support to the Union, though a great aeal more to the rebellion. The present effort at recon struction was begun under thcGovcrnorship ot Andrew Johnson, and Uo Presidents desire that the Government of that State shall be held to be already fully rccon fetructcd. and that its representatives Miall be admitted, is well known. Yet bv an em- phatic vote, including all the Republicans in the faenate, except Cowan, Dixon, and Doolittle, and by the unanimous vote of the Jicpubhcan majority in the House, with only a dissenting squeak from Mr. Itav' monu, Longrcss passeu tne lenncssec cre dentials to the same committee which will receive those from the other Statcs,Jhe Joint Committee on lieconstruction. All this is an emphatic contradiction of the I'resiuent s statement in his messaee. that it now only remains for the seceded States,. i r i . i e. . i . ft 1 i i 1- nient, to resume their places in tho Union, while Congress will judge merely of the regularity of their certificates of action. Li ins attitude of Congress is sound. Itreiv resents the loyal people of this country ex actly. It will alford Congress time to ma ture its own plan of reconstruction, and to come forward in solid phalanx in favor of a policy which shall represent the interests of the whole people of the South, and of the country, and not merely of the late rebels. Something more than mere delav in the business of reconstruction" is necessary on the part of Congress. Their course will fail to satisfy the country if it tends merely to stave oil the issue. hat justice and statesman ship demand, what the late elections demon strate that the people demand, is not somuch a postponement of reconstruction for its own sake, as that subversion and overthrow of the President's partial and one-sided mode of rccuiisirueiiuii in ruierence 10 inu voting basis, which restores rebels to power through out tlie South and dooms a whole race to peonage or bondage, until wiser councils or a bloodv revolution shall wrest from their oppressors their fair share of political rights. Every Republican victory at the last election is a verdict in favor of extending tho suf frage in some form to some portions of the four millions, who embrace a third of the population and ninctecn-twentieths of the in dustry, morality, loyalty and republicanism of the Southern people. In this matter President Johnson ' point of departure was wrong, and every step he has since taken has only made the wrong more manliest ana glaring, lie assumes that even in States wliere two-thirds of tho citizens are colored, they are to have no rights except those which the political mi nority choose to confer upon them. This is an undemocratic blunder and will convert the South into another Jamaica, a scene of slow torture for the black man and of con tinued despotism and terror to the white. It will condemn the South to hopeless pov erty, crime, and violence. We do not ask that any ignorant, depraved, pauper whether black or white, shall vote. But wc do ask that intelligent, moral, self-supporting men of whatever color shall not be excluded by law from anv avenue to influence or useful ness to whicli their abilities and the votes of their fellow-citizens would raise them. Wc demand this in the name of the principles of the Republican party and of the Declara tion of Independence. c ask it as the proper fruit of the war, the completion of the work of emancipation. We ask it in the name of the martyred Lincoln, as he ex pressed his convictions in his letter to Gov. Jlahn and to Gen. Wadsworth. To do this it will be the duty of Congress, if ned be, to join issue with any earthly power that desires to make the issue, and try the matter out as a question of power. But the end will never be attained if Congress merely dallies with and postpones the Presi dent's plan. Do Congress need further light upon the question ? Must more " black codes " be passed, in all their hideous atroc ity, more frecdmsn massacred, more rebels elected to office at the South ? Must more legislatures grant bounties to rebel troops while refusing them to loyal soldiers? Must more petitions be sent up for the lives of liv ing traitors, more church prayers refused even to the President who champions their equality ? Must more honors be tender ed to living rebel', or more monument erected to dead ones? Must more ar rogance be displayed by the haughty rebel minority in South Carolina and Mississippi in overriding the rights of the loyal majority and disfranchising them utterly in the courts and at the ballot box, except where the Presi dential edict,- behind which glitters the memory of a million of bayonets, compels some reluctant compliance. with justice? If Congress desire more of all this, let them wait; but while they wait events will crowd jast them, and the opportunity for justice without revolution will be gone. Our thirty-seven States will once more join hands over the crater of our volcano and await its next explosion. If Congress is so profoundly pervaded by anabsenceof independence, vigor and states manship, as to write itself down as the mere recorder of the precedences of the executive, then it will allow reconstruction to proceed on the basis, already tried and found want ing. If not, and we believe it will not; it will take a new point of departure, which shall be in harmony with the genius of Re publican institutions. It will do this In maturing in its joint committee .on recon struction, n general enabling act for those districts of the South in which State govern ments formerly existed, whercbv they shall be constitutionally governed so long as they rcmaiu in a territorial condi tion, by a Governor lawfully appointed by the President, and confirmed by the Senate, and by a Territorial Legislature elected by such portion of the population as the enabling act shall permit to vote. The majority of all the people of the South and its entire loyal and anti-slavery population favor this course to-day. Heretofore the President has treated the question of recon struction as a military one, over which he alone, as .Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Javy, had jurisdiction, and to which the constitution anu laws ol the L nileil states nnd the powers of Congress did not applv. He has appointed Governors of States with out asking their confirmation by the Senate, nnd has substituted his Presidential procla mation for the enabling acts by which Con gress liad previously directed the formation of State governments in territory wlicre none existed. But let Congress adopt the sound doctrine that State governments must be constructed in the same manner as the State governments of every State, since the orig- J iiui uuiiciai, were consimcica, yK: py me joint action of-Congrcss, as expressed in an enabling act or an act cf admission, and sub stantially the whole people of the territory reeking a State government. When wc adopt this doctrine we strike the hard pan of constitutional law and precedent, and the course is plain before us. A few days since the telegraph announced the election" of lion. Wm. A. Graham as a Senator, tp JCongress .froni Korth Carolina, for ihe long term. We arc now informed of the election of John Poole, of Bertie county, as" Senator for the short term. Mr. Poole, we believe, haa all the time been a Union man. He is a man of fair ability, and was once the candidate of his party for Govern or. Both the Senator dect were Whigs in days of yore TIic I'?iiln Troubles. From the Baltimore Gazette. The hopes- of Republican Ireland are growing darker and darker every day. Fe nianism has been so grievously' wounded in the house of its friends, that its convales cence will be slow at the best; whilst the chances of its reeovcry.at all are so proble matical that the life of the Brotherhood seems to hang,ias it were, upon ,a gasamer thread. Weliave already stated that the Fenian Senate have deposed CFMahony from the Presidency, and liave installed Vice President Roberts in his place. Our read ers also know that (JMahonyin turn, has forbidden tho Senate the. use of his head quarters; but what has passed since, then is not so well known, and is quite, deserving of being duly clironicled. The Senators, ten in number, charge that O'Mahony and his Secretary of the Treasury, Killian, were leagned together " to bring about the ruin " of the Fenian Brotherhood and the rob "bery of a confiding people f that O'Mahony as other Presidents have done before htm has' disregarded the Constitution which he had taken a sol e mn oath to support ; that he lias refused funds to the Secretary" of War General Sweeny who was eager to measure swords with the Sassenach, but found the Treasury locked against him; that he", Mahonv, lias nirea a patace tor ins Headquarters, at a rent of twelve thousand dollars a yearj paying tho rent for a year and a half eighteen thousand dollars in advance, besides, de iwsiting five thousand dollars as. a security against damage to the building, and laying out five thousand dollars more in rosewood furriiturc and carpets to match, and in pror vlding' sumntuoua sleeping rooms. &e &c: and, finally, that although a million of dollars has been paid into the Treasury iti the aggregate, he was in the act of issuing bonds for sixty-eight thousand dollars more in an illegal and fraudulent 'manner. Foe these reasons, and because he refused to plead to the indictment, the Senate met and for mally deposed him from, his high office. Un the other hand, 1'rcsident O Mahonv charges that O'Rourke the former Treas urer of the Fenian Brotherhood one of the malcontent Senators, who is foreman of the press room in the olhce of the .New lork lYibune, and one of the stockholders of the Tribune Company, actually loaned to a noted Republican journal of Xew York was it the lYibunel two hundred and thirty thousand dollars of the funds of the Irish JIapublic, and also that the same Senator speculated in gold, and thus lost, irretrievably, forty-seven tiiousand dollars ot the money belonging to the Fenians. O'Mahony further charges thai another of the malcontent Senators Patrick J. Meehau was sent to Ireland on business of the Brotherhood ; that he carried with him a draft far five hundred pounds sterling, and also dispatches of importance. That the draft in question and his letter of instructions fell into the hands of the British Government, in some mysterious manner, and that Median cscaned in a vcrv inexplicable sort of a way; and returned to America unmolested. It is more than hin ted also, that the immunity from arrest en joyed by Median, arose from the fact that he betrayed Ins associates, and that his disclo sures led to the capture of Stephens and the suppression of the Irish Fenian newspaper organ, "The People." Lastly, O'Mahony will arraign the ten mal-contcnt Senators for collecting sixty-eight thousand dollars from Irish men and women in the rural districts, not a dollar of which, says the Cabinet " O'Mahony" and his Secretary has been deposited in the Treasury. It will be claimed by the latter that the sixty-eight thousand dollars of bonds nbout to be Is sued, were designed to protect the interests of the Brotherhood by using the money to cover up this default. All these charges and counter charges arc to come up for adjustment before the Fenian Congress, which O'Mahonev has sum moned to assemble at New York on the 2d of January next. We believe that the senators, against whom (J Mahoney, taking time by the forelock, has already pre ferred articles of impeachment, have also called the Fenian Congress together to meet at a somewhat later day. Iu the meantime, both parties to the quarrel are preparing vigorously for the struggle for supremacy which is soon to take place. Both have is sued addresses to the innumerable circles throughout tho States, and both have already received by telegraph quite a number of re sponses and pledges of adhesion and support. The Fenians of the Western district of New York and of Xew England have announced that they will stand by the Senate, whilst those of the Department of Manhattan JTcw York city and Brooklyn have rallied almost to a man, to the support of O'Mahony. The latter are eager for the fray. Their ilclegates assembled in Convention, at New York, on Saturday last, and in a long ad dress to their brothers of North America, emphatically repudiating "the sectional com "bination of perfidious Irishmen," styling themselves Fenian Senators, who are de scribed as "traitors" of the deepest dye; " T,irlnci3 t..- I i. .1 4l.n 1,!.-.!. " position of Fenian Scnatorship to the most "ignoble purposes." As for John O'Mahony his name " stands "like a star in the IlcavciiSj receiving new " lustre from the clouds which obscure for " an instant, but vanish before its power." The traitors, "slimy and snake-like," have poisoned it is alleged, "the holy stream of "patriotism in its course towards liberty," and they are admonished, with the most in tense, melodramatic fervor to " Beware ! " The reputation of O'Mahony " is too well " known," they add, iij be even dimly ob "scurcd by thcwingsT of envenomed rancor " or petty jealousy." The figures. are rather mixed up in this part of the address, but when men and especially Irishmeu speak strongly, thev are not ant to be dioicn in thn selection of their phrases, nor is it supposed that the people of a 'country from which St. I'atrick banished all the serpent tribe four teen hundred years ago, should know wheth er that species of reptile was gifted with en venomed winp, or was without any wings at all. But the most marvellous part of this whole matter is, that although a million of dollars has been paid into the treasury, it was so short of funds when John Mitchcl was sent recently tor Europe as an emissary of the Brotherhood, he had to tarry several days in New York before the necessary means could be procured to enable him to proceed on his voyage. We shall await, with some curiosity, the explanation of thii singular, but not altogether surprising state of affairs. The Cnttlc I'lnsruo IiicrofJiig'. The advices by the City of Baltimore, in dicate no abatement of the Rinderpest or plague among cattle, which now theatens such a curtailment of the ordinary supply of animal foodr throughout Great Britain, as must inevitablr affect provision market. In the course of the past month the increase of thediseasc hasbeenmost marked. During that period the attacks have risen, from a previous monthly average, from 14,000 to upwards of 27,000, and the deaths, destruc tion included, to upwards of 21,000. Be tween the 4th and the 11th of November the number of cases increased by fifty per cent. In the ensuing week things were not quite so bad, but there was a further increase still. The London Times assumes that the death, instead of 700 a week, are at least four times that number, and if winter docs not brine a change for the better, the loses may be 5,000 or b,000 a week before Christmas, This is certainly a sad state of things, and the worst of it is, that tiiiu far no adequate remedy for it secrai to have been discovered. The journals teem with suggestions and re commendations with a view to checking the disease, but practically they appear to amount fo but little, the Rinderpest mean while having mn it own way. ' The theory is still generally adhered to, that this cattle disease was imported from ihe continent, and that it can be checked by keeping animals affected by it ajiart from those, that are healthy1. If this; be sd, then it is now, more than ever, a question with us of the United States, whether we ought not to exdude European cattle altogether from our ports for the present. The Guatcitv to Mns.

Large land holders find it more difficult f o farm now, because of the uncertainty of securing reliable labor for the whole year.

There are those disposed, in view of the exactions made by President Johnson, to believe that Mr. Lincoln would have dealt much more generously with the South. If ,we are not mistaken, Mr. Lincoln devised a Scheme of "restoration," applied to Loui-d-hnaand Arkansas. In July, 18(51, General Ranks, under orders of President Lincoln, issued a proclamation which contemplated tlio organimtiori of State government under revised constitutions and iron-clad oaths. Negro suffrage waa coiupul.ory. The Stnto was a non-entity. A null recession had de htroved State vftalltv. In Arkansas, theone-fenth basis of rcprc- .fCntatioh Avas applied.

The retention of lioundary lines wa4 of no iignilicance, and trginia. the mother of State, was ruthlessly dis membered. inter' Davis concocted scheme, paved by Congress, and we heard that t'rcsidcnt Lincoln verbally approved it The States were deemed dead ; rebellious citizens, forever disfranchised, were pro nounced unworthy of any ollicc; Represen tation was based upon the one-tenth system, infinitely worse' than the three-fifths basis against which Andrew Johnson, with marvelous prescience was wont to in veigh in the halcyon days of unwashed icnncsscc democracy. We remember read ing in a Southern village, sooti thereafter burned bv Sherman, a speech on this suli- jeet, delivered jn, Congress by a man of Such glowing iancy. that, in vulgar mrlancL. he is known as Sun-et Cox. He urged that this plan of restoration would, in Tennessee permit seven thousand two hundred ani sixtv-cigtit voters to rule a btate ol one hundred and forty-live thousand three hun dred and forty-eight voters. One tenth of this number is 11. Ml. A m.aioritv of this would be 7,268, nr.d these monopolizing offi ces would hold the bt.ato in subjection' Froni this destructive, cold'bloodcd wiutry Davis plan, Brownlow's model government derives its conception of duty to the jicople bf Tennessee. Seven thousand Radietil-i would thus enslave the State forever. Mr. Lincoln was satisfied with this plan, though he pocketed the Bill, with the declaration that lie would, it pasKd, give it J'Jcecutive aid." It appears that I'resident Johnson ap- E roves .neither the Hanks plan, applied to ouisi.ana and Arkansas, witli the sanction of Mr. Lincoln, nofthe Winter Davis mode of eviscerating statehood. JoIinon holds that State government! and Ixiundarv lines arc no lesa indestructible than the Federal Union. The Constitution contemplates the possibility of individual criminality, but its framere nevcrso defined treason, that States could comjass it. Johnson, by a sweeping amnesty, relieves citizens of disabilities, and by his conduct of local and national govern ments, makes Tennessee a wedge which so dcaves the Union, compacted by Radicalism, that all thcsA Stale may become cmlxxlitd iu the great tree of Lilierty, beneath who-m branches, counflcfs myriads and generation df freemen, in perfect isecurity, Inay reiMc forever.
