' Reconstruction.
We hold it to be the duty of every one, in
the times in which we are living, to express
opinions with frankness, and till convinced
of error, to maintain them with firmness.
The position of public affairs is altogether
anomalous. We have no precedent to guide
us either in the history of our own or of
other countries. Upon the questions which
are ~nowar-ising. we have no party plat-
fornrs to bind us. and we are' controlled by
the opinions of individual statesmen no fur
ther than such’ opinions shall commend
themselves to our sense of justice and right.
Our only guide is principle as applied to the
qucstiions that are presented to us, and
wherever that leads we should unhesitatingly
follow, let Presidents and Congresses do what
they may.
Wiia‘t' then is the immediate practical ques.
tion beforethe country i It may be stated
thus:‘in the Congrtss of United States, the
seats which were once occupied by the
Senators and Representatives of eleven
States, are now empty, and have been so
for five years. SeVoral gentlemen hive ap-
peared at Washington during the present
session and claimed the right to occupy
those seats. The practical question is, shall
their claim'be admitted, and they be install-
ed as a_ part of" the governing power of the
Republic? , Of course it is impossible to an-
IWLI‘ this question intelligently, without a re-
view-of the‘causes which have led to a dis-
pute about smatter which ordinarily would
be an exceedingly plain. For if a vacancy
in the Connecticut Representation in Con-
gress should occur, obviously the person
who should present himself in the Capitcl
with proper credentials of his right bf sue.
oession, wuu‘d be admitted without dissent.
What is it that causas the case of these gen-
tlemen to drfisr? The reply rises spontane-
ously to every lip; the Rebellion makesail the
distipction. Those who were occupants of
these seals the years ago, became traitors to
the United Siaies, abandoned their share in its
goVernment and renounced its-citizenship.
The people whom they represented threw
off their allegianceto the federal authority,
.set up a governmentof their own, and waged
war upon the nation for four bloody years.
The.United States has conquered them at
a tremendous sacrifice of life and treasure,
and having failed in their attempt to govern
a part of the Republic separately, they now
clai,ln,-l~he right to participate in the govern-
ment of the whote of it; denying to the
Conquerorstlie right to exact a single guar-
anty of them that they shall not make the ef-
fort at partition again tomorrow. They
claim as the fundamental law of the land,
asserting that what is called a State is im.
mortal in existence, and indefensible in its
right of representation, no matter what may
beware of the people who constitute its act~
ual vitality.
It is easy to see that the unlimited applica-
tion of such adoctriue to public affairs must
necessarily be the parent of anarchy and the
destroyer of all "social stability ; for it erases
from the Constitution of the United States
the law of treason, and holds upa premium
to Rebellion by afiixing to failure no heavier
penalty than a renewed share in the govern-
ment of the Republic.
On the other hand it is certain that it is con-
trary to the whole genius of our institutions
that one half the nation should be perma-
nently-governed by the other half. Repre-
sentation in Congress is the ligament which
binds the Union togethermnd sooner or later
oven the people who in the madness of their
Rebellion (drove to throw it 06', must be again
embraced within its beneficent folds.
.iTtie surrender of the Rebel armies in the
Spring of 1865 terminated the armed rdsist-
ance to federal authority. There had been
warforfour years. One party to that War
was the Government of the United Sluice.
The other party was, with a few local excep-
tions,the entire population of the States
whose representation is now in dispute.
This population was organized into a politi-
cal community with all the forms of govern-
ment whose authority during the last two
years-of the war was obeyed with a great-
er dcgree of unanimity than was the Feder-
al government by the people of the remain-
ing Slates. Still it wasa party in rebellion
against lawful authority and except in one
important particular, it obtained no recogni-
tion of” any political capacity outside of it-
self. This exception was the accordance to
its armies and navies of belligerent rights
both by foreign nations and by the United
States; for the latter by the first cartel for
the exchange ,oi prisoners accorded to
the rebellion all the rights which flow
from the laws of war. At the termi-
nation oi the war, therefore, in the
early summer ofh1865 the parties legally
stood where the laws of war left tLem.
These laws are a part of the law of nations
and as' such a part of the Constitution of
the United States. and they apply exactly
to the condition of things at the overthrow
of the rebellion. One party to the war was
conqueror ,and the. other was conquered:
and that branch of the laws of war which
is termed the law of conquest limits and
determines the legal rights and duties of
both. ‘It makes no difference in this state
of' things whether the thing which we
call a State was dead, or in abeyance, or in
full vitality. Its people wereconquered.
and all they possessed in privilege, frau-
chise, person and, estate, was subject now to
the operation of the law of conquest. Of
course to talk of their right of representation
in the Federal Congress under such circum-
stances is sheer absurdity, of _ which none
1
’ of the rebel debt are sufficient.
but rebels and copperheads are guilty. The
President set the example in denying such
claim by the appointment of Provisional
Governors, and making the ratification of
the Constitutional Amendment, the nulli-_
fication of the secession ordiuances, and the
repudiation of the rebel war—debt conditions
precedent to any participation by the people
of the revoltcd states in federal functions,
and the whole great. party which united in
his election to the Vice Presidency sustains
him in this position We have heard much
talk of a difference betwvcen the President
and the Republicans of Congress, but the
slightest consideration of the fact just men-
tioned, will convince one that in principle
there is and can be no such difference. Presi-
dent and Congress agree in demanding' se-
curities for the continued peace of the coun-
try and for the faithful execution of the
Constitutional Amendment, before those so
lately in revolt shall be permitted to partici-
pate iu the Government of the nation.
Upon the exact nature and extent of those
securities they are not yet agreed, nor is it
important that they should be till upon full
investigation and consideration a just con-
clusion can be reached. But in the mean-
time both practically repudiate the Copper-
hcad’claim of a Constitutional right inherent
in the people of the lately revolted States
to immediate representation without any se-
curities whatever, and the only legal basis
upon which such action of the President and
Congress as has already taken place can be
sustained,,is the law of conquest
It seems therefore that thus far there is
and can be no disagreement in the party in
power as to the aulhority which the Federal
Government has acquired over the— people
lritely in revolt. It is regarding the exercise
of that authority that disagreements are tnost
likely to arise. And yet we have never been
gble to see any necessity for an actual rup-
ture in the great party which has brought
the war to its happy termination. No one
wishes to hold the people of the South as
conquered subjects. On the contrary it is
the universal desire that they be permitted
as speedily as it can be done consistently
with the public safety, to exercise all the
functions of citizenship, and to be one with
us in the support of Republican govern~
ment throuchout the territory of the United
States. All of us agrée that the old State
boundaries, except so far as they have been
changed during the war, shall remain as
heretofore until altered in the mode which
the Constitution prescribes, and that the peo
ple within those boundaries respectively,
shall possess the same local rights, power
and privileges and the same proportionate
share in the Federal representation that We
of Connecticut possess. All of us ‘want
some kind of guaranties; how much and
what, we dificr about. The President seems
to think that the annulling of the ordinance
of secession, the ratification of the Consti'
tutional' Amendment, and the repudiation
If he does
think so, we‘ do not agree with him and we
have no doubt that a few months hence be
will himself discern the necessity of more
efi‘ectuai securities. Mr. Sumner wants ten'
additional amendments to the Constitution.
We do not agree with him, for wethink
that the organic law sh )uld be subjected to
the least possible change. ‘ Between the
President and Mr. Sumner many Republi-
can members of each House of Congress
have their own theory of guaranties. Some
come much nearer than others to our views.
and with all We sympathize in the cardinal
principle or the right and necessity of set
curities for the future.
A full comparison of opinions, and
free discussion will we have no doubt, re-
move the apparent discord. Both the Ex-
ecutive and Legislative departments of gov-
ernment as at present contrOiled, from the
President on the right to Mr. Sumner on the
lef, We regard “as constituent parts of the:
grand army which went unitcdly into the,
coutestoi November 1864, with Abraham
Lincoln as General-in chief. They difiered
as widely about some matters then as now,
but on one thing they agreed that the war
should go on till the rebellion was crushed,
and the people ratified the agreement. So
now we believe them to be agreed that the
fruits of victory shall not be lost; that sla-
very shall not be re-eatabli-hed under a new
name, and that the alliance of Rebels and
Copperheads shall not obtain the control of
this Government.

when he was seized with a spasm, and fell 4
from his chair. His eldest daughter went to
his assistance, when he complained of feeling
faint, but thought he should rccoverina
few moments. He was soon seized with a
second, and then with a third spasm from
which he did not rally. He was about 62
years of age, of gentle disposition and pleas

The Legislation of the past week shrill
have an important. bearing upon the future
,ofthe American nation. The passage in
Bureau Bill, is deemed a triumph of What is
termed the radical clement. in Congress—
but which means in fact the men who are
determined that the sceptre shall not pass .
from Judah until our reconstructed brethren
of the South show works meet for repent-
ance. It. should be a matter of devout
thanksgiving that we have such a Congress
—a Congress in point of ability, that has had . ‘
‘ .riy. Ward Bee'cher,ou Monday'uight- last, was
no superior within the memory of a genera-
tion; and the people may rest, assured that
their interests will be safe in its hands. The
hue and cry about conflicts with the‘Presi;
dent is the work of the enemy, for the men
of this Congress dare do right, and WILL do
right regardless of cliques. Let it not be
understood on the other hand, that there is
any spirit or temper of ‘ injustice to the
South in their action orLfeeling. The ad-
mission of Southern members to seats in
Congress will only be made to hinge upon
a sincere determination to give, Legislative
strength to its counsels. At present the ant-
mus of the Southern people .is notoriously:
unfit for. a restoration of Congressional
rights. Their ,admisston'iu their present
temper would be ruinous. to our peace and
our credit, and moredisaatrous even than has
been the terrible war from which we have
emerged. The evidence of thisis now in the
possesson of Congress and will soon be put
before the country. ' .

About. live (5) o'clock in the afternoon of !
.slatiii-dny, the 13th iiist., three men named l
'l‘homson, Bartlett, and Warren, entered a
boat at the village of FortEric.Canada West,
on the purpose of rowing across the river to
Buffalo,
The river at. this point, is about half a
1 mile in widtli,and at this time,wu$fillc:i with
floating ice, the warm Weather of a day or
two previous, having broken up large quan-
titles in the Lake.
' ,Although they considered .it-r'ather a per-
ilous undertaking, ’ye’t watching-an opportu-
nity when the way was comparatively clear,
they pulled for the opposiso shore.
They had nearly reached their destination
when the boat became entangled in a mass
of ice, which coming suddenly" upon them
crushed their boat, and precipitat d all, into
the water. . 4 ‘
Bartlett however, clambered .upon a large
cake of ice, which was floating by, and
Thompson, after several fruitless attempts,
at lastsuccceded in'gaining a similar, posi-
tion. But poor Warren',‘after striving in
vain to follow the exampleof his compan-
ion, became so chilled, and exhausted, that
he sank, to rise no more.
‘By this time, it was not, quite dark, and
the survivors commenced . shouting loudly
for help, in hopes of attracting the attention
of some one on shore, but- th'eypassed Black
Re ck, and Touawauda, without being heard,
Still o’nWsrd they were borne, the current
growing more and more rapid, and had
nearly passed the lower end: of Grand Is-
land, which point having been passed, their
destruction was inevitable, for notbingcould
then have prevented their guing over the
Falls. '
Just at this critical moment, .an answer-.
ing about was heard from the Island :
Soon lights were seen hurrying to tho riv-
er, boats were launched, and brave nien
were hastening to the rescue.
It was tndeeda perilous task, owing to the
great masses of ice,the powerful current,and
extreme darkness, but it was successfully ac-
complished. and both men were saved.
They mre however so I e norm 6 with cold
as to be totally unable to help themselves,
and were rolled from the ice, as helpless as
logs, their clothes being frozen perfectly stiff.
It seemed almost a miracle, that" they had
not perished with cold, as they had been
over three hours on the ice.
After reaching the shore, they were prop-
erly tared for. by- their noble rescuers, and
in the morning were returned. to their homes
The unfortunate Warren leaves a large fam-
ily, to mourn his loss. W.

Extensive Forgeries in Boston.
Special Dispatch to the Gazette.
BosTort, Jan. 29th, 1866.
Extensive forgeries, in State Street, have
just come to light. Mt ssrs. Stone & Dcwne’s
name was forged on Saturday, for two checks
of $2,300 and $2,600, both of which were
paid at the Mcrchanls‘ Brnk. Mr. James
Hamniett’s name was forged for $4,807 in.
two checks, and both paid at the National
Bank of Commerce. Mr. E. P. Worsten’s
name was also forged for $2,407 on the Mt.

Turn Nomvst BAND Onoatvrza'rrox,
which though it. has not seen itpfirst annual
yet, hasa clean title to a good name among
bands. has recently been presented by Le-
grand Lockwuod, Esq, of Norwalk, with a
full set of German silver instruments, bell-
mouthed, sixteen in all,and valued at $1,500;
the instruments Were manufactured by Gil-
more & Graves, of Boston. The .band also
was recently dressed up in new uniforms by
the town of Norwalk. So we can’t. see why
the band isn't well provided for, and why
Norwalk isn’t just the place for band musi'
cians to live in. In this this favored organ-
ization are four old New Haven players,
all of whom have figured to their cre'iit
among the worthies of our Horse Guard
Baud. Tire band is under the instruction of

Q‘.>o
Paper Makers vs. Journalists.
Tire lieWspirpers throughout. the country
are complaining of the excessively high rates
charged for printing paper. \Vllnt before the
war could be bought for nine toten cents per
pound, and Was lhougf-t dear at that pi'lCt‘,
now commands nearly three times that
amount. ~ During the war this might be
borne as a llcccsSary evil, consequent upon
the appreciation of gold and the wacky of
suitable material for p rper stock, but with
the cessation of Medina: and the decline in
gold. it is difficult to understand the rersou
for the continued high price of paper. In-
stead of diminishing, in appears to increase.
Air article of such universal use ought to be
produced at the lowest possible cost. The
paper makers. it would seem, desire to con-
trol the price of this indispensable material,
and being ComparatiVely few in number, the
charge of' combination appears to have some
foundation. Meanwhile the journals areiu-
creasing the price of subscripiion.

CUSTOM nousn MATTERS. -
The Assistant Collector of the Port, ~Hon.
Charles P. Clinch, continues to officials as
Collector, and it is not problable that he
will be relieved from that position for some
time to come. The salary of the Assistant
Collector is $3.000, that attached to the Col-
lectorship $6,000 and emoluments amount-
ing (annually) to at least the sum of $25,000.
It is well known that the heirs of the late
Preston King receive the salary of the latter
office, and will continue to do so until the
President names his successor. This is but.
an act of justice, and meets with universal
commendation. There are numerous aspi-
rants l‘or the office, prominent among whom
are Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, Hon. Robert
Dennison, Hon. 0. M. Depew, Hon. Francis
E.ipinner. and II. A. vathe, Ecq., Plesi-
dent of the Central National Bank of this

MISCELLANEOUS.
It is understood here that lire Directors of
the First National_Bank of this city, would
be glad to secure the Deposits of the First
National Bank of South Norwalk, the latter
institution being justly regarded as one of
the best-managed Banks in the State of
Connecticut. A: presrnt, I believe, the
Bank in question haS.OVel‘ $50,000, on de-
