And for what purpose ? For tbe expressed and avow ed purpose of perpetuating tbe negro race in personal slavery and keeping Ibe poor whiles of the land in a state of peonage, degredation and subser viency to tbe aristocracy and slaveocracy of tbe land. ot one white man in fifty in North Carolina owned stares, and this mere handful of alare owners held tbe balance of the wkite people of the fclate in such control that tbey suc ceeded in putting them nearly all in tbe rants; a rich man's war and a poor man's fight. After the war Hon. tf.

No ,o)to limit tbe present power of tbe I'nited States Commissioner in iuing war rant of arrest sgainut citizens of tbe United State; which was read a first and second time, referred to the com mittee on the Judiciary, and ordered to be printed." The object of this bill introduced by Mr. Vance ia to impair, retard and de feat tbe ends of the law and justice, and the rigbti of the citizen in tbe car rying oat ol what it known as tbe en forcement act and the revenue act. It is tbe opinion of some that tbe recent decision of tbe Supreme Court ia tbe Grant I'arUh and Hit Kentucky cases served to nullify ome section of tbe enforcement act. It is evident that the ku klua organ so regard it, and on all aide from liiose organs go up eboats of rcjoiciug, they felicitating therosclvca that there being uo Federal law to pun ish, they cau now go on and kill,inurdcr and destroy as many Republicans as tbey see proper, and bo amenable to tbeir ku klux State courts only. , Dut there are some section of tbe enforcement act that bare not yet been declared unconstitutional, and When those sections are violated the United States Commissioners have the power and tbe authority, as it is tbeir daly to do. to cause tbe arrest of tbe offenders, and hence it is that General Vance de sires to make the provisions of tbe law inoperative, and emasculate tbe power of the Commissioners by requiring tbst tbey shall submit to tho United States Distrit Attorney such facta as they may have from only one party the aJEaut and not to be allowed to issue war rants without bis advice and consent! So, too, as regards tbe issuing of war rants Tor violating Ibe Internal Reve nue act, and is vehement in bis denun ciations of tbe present law because of tbe fraud that are practised under it.

What II aa Been Decided? Here, in a nutshell, is the recent de cision of the fjujireuie .Court, of th United States In the Keulacky- election case: v-: ' f v ' Tbe Uifleeutb Amendment declares that the right to vote shall not be de uicd nor abridged on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, and that Cbnrress shall hive power to enforce "this Amendment by appropriate legislation. Congress has tried to do this. In what is known as the enforce ment act it provided, in substance, that "if any person, by force, bribery, threats, intimidation, or other unlawful means, shall hinder, delay, prevent, or obstruct any citizen from to ting or qualifying to vote at any election, such person shall forfeit for every each of fense to) to tbe persou aggrieved." The offender was also to De considered guilty of a misdemeanor, and to be fined and imprisoned. This certainly look?, to a man of ordinary understand ing, as if it were an attempt in good faith to enforce tbe provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment, j At an election in Kentucky this law was violated. A suit was brought, There was no ques tion about tho facts. The offense was admitted. The question was whether tbe section of the law which has been quoted was constitutional. Tbe Supreme Court decide that it is not. Wby ? For the simple reason that it permits the punishment of persons wbo prevent, hinder, or obstruct a citizen from Toting, from any cause, and not on account of race, color, rr previous condition alone. This, tbe court declare, is beyond the power of Congress. And, tnerefoxe, because the law is broader than necessa ry, covering not only crimes on account of race, but crimes committed for other reason, the court decide that the greater cannot include the less, and the section is unconstitutional ! Suppose, there fore, a person is, in fact, denied the right to vote, and this ou account of race or color; yet notwithstanding tbe law declares that any one who shall prevent, binder, or deny this right shall be punished, the sufferer is without remedy, because the talulc is too broad, aud has nol limited punUhuicnt lo coses where the denial has been on account of race, color, or previous con dition of servitude uloue ! The court sy that the qucsiion is whether lliey can introduce words of limitation into a secial statute so as to male il eci'K', when, ascxprcssfd, it is general only. Rut what, let us inquire, is the need of introducing any words whatever? Grant that an ofleuic against the right of suffrace, which H not committed ou account ol race or color, cannot be punished under the law! How does that prevent the punishment of one which is committed because of thes facts? A refussl to permit a man lo vote because of bis color is a violation the words of the statute, it Is preventing a citizen from voting who has a right to vote. What words, then, are necessary to be added? Is not tho offense com plete without reiterating the fact that this hindering is on account of race, etc. ? Tbe court ay that an indictment must be definite, and the accused persou must know of what crime be is charged. For instance, be must be able to gainer from the indictment whether be is charged with obstructing a voter ou ac count of such voter's race or colpr, or on account of something else. This is all very well; but we insist that in this case, aud by the present, ruling of the court, nothing could be inoro definite than an indictment under tbe United States law for obstructing a voter in tho privilcro of the ballot. The indicted person would know instantly that be was charred with doiu" this ou accouut of the complainant's race or color, be cause the law, as interpreted by the court, makes the hindering for any other cause an offense not punishable by tbe Federal courts. Ave again ask, therefore, what words are necessary to make tbe law complete, and perfectly applicable to ofieuses against tho Fif teenth Amendment? We see that both Justice Hunt and Clifford dissented from the opinion, aud we shall not be surprised to see it criti ciseu by many eminent jurists through out the country. The decision is ecu liarly unfortunate at this time, and wil encourage tbe notorious law- breakers of the South to fresh deeds of violence against the colored voters. And though the court confine the'r rutins closely to the points presented, and express no opinion regarding other section of tbe act, it is dear, reasoning irons analogy, that no part of the law of consequence saving, perhaps, a lew sections regard inx official and some nrovuioos look Inr to the enforcement of the Four tecnta Amendment, will bo sustained by them. Ia the Grant 1'aruh (La.) case the court mica tnat lae touicuncai was insofacient, and decided the case upon that defect, though, had it been good. it 1 shown from the Xeatocxy that the prosecution would have beca overthrown.

In like manner, tbe Republicans may learn wisdom from reverse, and marsha! their forces so as to protect the weak pom Is exposed by the success or the enemy. Tbe Grant Parbb decision is nol all the Republicans expected it to be; but - it is far from being a disaster. There is a useful lesson in it, , It teach es us: I. That the law under which the pros ecution was conducted is constolional. 2. That prisoners can be brought to trial and punishment by the proper averment and proois to austain them. 3. That the court will punish all wbo have been convicted of violating its provision. ' If ever tho occasion shall aruo for another trial under the act, the indict' menu will be drawn strictly in accord ance' with th tcuinical requirement laid down by Chief Justice Waite, and which be aars would brinz the Prison er "within the atatute aad within the scope of the sovereignty of the United States."

Republican gives it in the right way about Morton: Tbe New York Tribune pats Secreta ry Bristow on the back approvingly and describes bim as the most popular candidate for the Presidential nomina tion, but "one who seen to. be securing the fewest delegates." It also charac terizes him as ''an ideal candidate," and predicts that Mr. Morton, "a very practical one." will bej nominated at Cinciouati. How little the Tribune really knows about tho ehauces of the several aspirants for that nomination, however, may be inferred from its de claration that Virginia hnd Louisiana will support Mr. Blaine. Tbe truth is thai the southern States will goto Pork opolis uniustructed. but with a decided inclination in favor of Mr. Morton. This inclination is founded upon justice and gratitude, because Mr. Morton sand pre-eminent to day as the defend er and iriand of the Republicans of the south. It is true that his record on the southern question is not more unequiv ocal than' that of .Mr. Conkli'ng but be has embraced some opportunities to discuss it which Mr. Conkling has neg lected. These facts plainly indicate that the, south will go first for Morton, second for Conkling, and afterwards split up between Blaiue, Briatw, Hayes and others.
