'• I'he fourth section of the fourth nrticln of the Constitution of Iho United St -tr* declsrothat the United State* Khali RUanniee to e h Ii State a republican form of government. <> ' the baslK of this provision, Andrew ,fohn«mi proeeeded toorganlzc Stateirovimmonf, vlthotit the concurrence or consent of Congress, or any other department ol government., lie nsmimed that all powers conferred on llio l'idled State* wer# conferred on him, and aeted accordingly.

Ho Is altogether too small a pattern to bostrido till - nation, and to wield Its entire power.’’ _ Perhaps Iho Journal may bo ii>'V, l,i '.!io position It assumes In reference to the “glaring usurpation and assumption of power” by tbo President. Hut, we would inquire, purely for information and as sn Illustration of the consistency and political prescience of that print, whether It has always entertained Us present notions In regard to Hie rooonstruetlon business, so far at least as ANnttv.w Johnson, as it terms the President, la concerned f In tho curly part of tbo Administration of President John* rfON, tho Journal was nn cnlhusltisllc a irnircr of the head of the nation ami tho p"'iey he adopted. About that period there was an Indiv idual residing In tho State, of some prominence In tho Republican parly, by tho name of Morton—O. P. Morton—whom the same Journal also delighted to honor. This Mr. Morton delivered himself of <» spec< h on “reconstruction.” th. n as now an absorbing question, at Richmond, Indiana, on Thursday evening, September 2!>. IStJo, which not only received tho warm eommenilation cf tho Journal, but It helped to spread It broadcast ov.r the State, as a correct representation of tbo doctrine ami policy of tho Republican party upon that issue. If wo had space wo should like to reproduce all that tho spokesm m of the Republican party of Indiana had to say upon reconstruction at that time, but not having It, we in i<t content tho roailor with Its salient points. It will be recollected that at the time tho speech referred to was delivered, Mr. Johnson had occupied tho Presidential chair and was pushing forward the work of reconstruction according to the policy laid down by his predecessor, tho martyred Umroi-N, for about six months. In the opening of his speech Mr. Morton said thathcdeelrod firstly to remark that to him the general condition of tho country was most promising and favorable. Neither the right of Mr. Johnson to proceed in tho work of reconstruction, or was his policy In that regard called Into question by tbe Republican leaders at that lime. Supposing that he was “one of’em,” and that he would administer tbo guvernrnent in tho Interests of radicalism, a good many ultra radicals wore heard to use the uncharitable expression, that they tboughtlt was rather providential th it the “good 1’n sldent” had been removed and a nuro sanguinary man was called upon to succeed him. Wo do not know that such a feeling even crossed the peaoclul bicast of Mr. Morton, but he thus cordially compliments the now President: “An Impression has gotten abroad In the North that. Mr. Johnson has devised «omo now policy by which iiupropt r f .eillitius are grunted lor tho icsioration ot tho rebel vtatos, ana that ho ts presenting imp opcrly aim unnecessarily hurrying lorward the work of rcoonsli notion, and that he Is olfttring improper facilities for i t storing those who have been engaged in tho rebellion to the possession of their civil ami political rights. It, Is ono 01 my purposes In re this evening to show that so far as hts policy of amnesty and iBeousimotion l> c 'iicorued, he has absolutely jiresanicd nothi ig nci n - Imt that ne has aiuipty pr son ted, and i- simply continuing thi'poticn tp/ikh irtr. Lntr iln pnad'tcU lo the nation Ju mu Mb of f>ecenitief, I Will. Mr. Johnson’s Amnesty Proclamation ilitlers from Mr. Lincoln".- in mine resirlctloqs it contains; which Mi. Lincoln’s did not contain, lit- plan of roconsti iioiion is nh*. luttly and simply that, of Mr Liucolni nn ro or loss, with ono (iilferunco only, uia Mr. Lincoln r»qulred that one tenth of mo people Of the disloyal Mates should bu Willing to embrace his plauol reconstnu tior, where us Mr. John'On says nothing about tho number, but, so f ir as It has been n< ledgipon yet, It has been done by much grouier than ono
tenth.”
Mr. Morton then, at considerable length, contrasted or compared tho reconstruction plans ol LiaOOLN and Johnson,and said that “tin Ir plans of amnesty and reconstruction could not be distinguished from ouch other except In a few particu! rs” in which Mr, Johnson Imposed greater hardships upon tho rein Is than had Mr. Lincoln. Wo quote again from the speech of Mr. MORTON: "This was Mr, Lincoln’s favorite policy. It was presented by him to Uongnsqon the Bib of January, 1X0."., accompanied by a message. In the couise of the next year, IMOf, on several occasions Mr. Lincoln distinctly presented, again and again, this policy ot amnesty and reconstruction, to tbe people of the Homh. It was bis settled and favorite policy at the time he was nominated for re-election by the Union Convention nt Baltimore, and lu that convention the party sustained him, and strongly Indorsed his whole policy of which this whs a prominent part. Mr. Lincoln was triumphantly and overwhelmingly elected upon that policy and soon after his election, In Uecrmber, 1*0}, In his last annual message to Congress, bu again bring* forward the same policy of his, and presents It to tbe nation. And agafn, on tbe 12th of Abril, only two days before his death he nferred to and presented this policy of amnesty and reconstruction.” We ask If there could bo a more complete vindication of the reconstruction policy of Mr. Johnson S' It was Identical with that of Mr. Lincoln, as Mr. Morton demonstrate*, and hi* policy was not opposed by tbe Congre*s of IBttS, to which It wa# presented; It w< ■ Indorsed by tbe Baltimore Union Convention in iWSi, In bis renomination, and ft wa* approved by the country In bis re-election. We will quote the language of Mr. MORTON upon this point, which had the hearty ap-
proval of the Journal:
“ I refer to these facts for the purpose of showing that Mr. Johnson’s policy Is not a
new one, but that he I* simply csrrylB; the policy left him by bis lamented sor-a policy that had been mdon
whole nation in the re-election of Mr. Lfneotn, and had been promulgated to tbe whole world nearly one year before the time of his lust
election.”
rable article on tbe •* Libor Crisis,” remark*, “ the men of the revelation saw very clearly tho advar.tsgetof freedom ol trade within certain limits, «d accord tag ly established it between the States, thus devoting to It a larger area and a greater variety of soil and climate than have elsewhere ewer been won for Mi and thus opening what has been unquestionably one of the greatest sources of the national prosperity. But with one of those failure* of logic, with which political history is Ailed, and which makes the growth of a science of hielory ceem impossible, they did not see, and* imgc mass of tbe American public doeanot see to this day, that what was good for the States between each other might be good for tho state* between them and foregners. Bvery« body acknowledges that, when Massachusetts men trade freely with New York men, both arc gainer-, and that the establishment of cu»* t m houses on tho State line would be a gro*’* mi-f- rtuno for both. But most people nevertheless, to '“l" hoa '* imagine that if Mascachusetts nK ’ n * ere lowe i lo trade freely w«h foreigner*, the f reigner only would 00 the K aln «r, and the Massachusetts m-i would go on loiing and getti: f? into'fobt m long a* the trade lasted, lot flic tortlgner sell over so cheaply. The dividing political line seem* to have some obfuseating ilT' Ct on the mind when it comes to deal with tbla sort of problem. In tho case of Canada, the absurdity becomes more apparent, however, than In the case of Europe. If Canada wore annexed to the United State* to-mor-row, frro trade acroi* tho St. Lawrence would be established at once, and to everybody’* »atisfuction; and It would be universally accepted ns self evident that in the traffic which fol11 wed both the people of the new State and of tho old States would profit. But draw the political lino-hoist the stars and stripes on one side and tho union jack on tho other—and nothing will persuade many that, if free trade wore permitted, all the profit would not fall to tho Canadians and all tbo loss to the Americans; and yet tbe political lines, of course,* xlst only in tho mind, and has of Itself no more r« al effort on tho results of the trade than the milky way.” Republican t’oima •( Government. Tho Judiciary Committee of the House were instructed at the recent session to investigate If Kentnofcy, Maryland and Delaware hnvu republican forms of government. In order to accomplish the work incidental to the investigation,tbe committee have been divided Into three sub committees, each one having a state in charge. Tho Investigation simply means this: Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, not being cursed with radical State government, must In somo way have radicalism fore. I upon them. Tbe business of tbe committ' it to suggest a mode to accomplish that oi.il. 11 Congress should adopt a resolution that iboso States have not republican forms of government, tho next step, we suppose, will i>o to place them under tbe operation of the military rcstruction act*. It Is by such acts of despotism that the radical party hope to maintain Its ascendency—but tho best laid schemes of men often fall.

After passing through the crowd wo met
some fellows who trlecf to
contrary to Juju for whit* men to enter tbe town.” Tho Bonny chief* scolded and we pushed on, but soon met a mob of hundreds, and further progress Was Impossible. In vain did Banlgo and Calondusi scold and push, and even knock some down; tbo others pressed closer together, shouting, barking, and gesticulating frantically. After lookiog at tbwperformance until we got tired of it, we returned to the boats. A c*noe came off with two roessengers from the king. Inviting us to come ashore. Guards armed with long sticks stood at tbo corners of tho streets, and ths town was quiet. Wo wore conducted to the king’s audience chamber, which had no light except what came in by the door. Chairs were brought and theehlefs and others crowded In. A beating of drum* announced that tbe king bad gone to tbe juju house to consult the spirits before
proceeding to business.
In half an hour King Flbla appeared, a strongly built man of forty-five, with a round, good natured looking face. He shook bands and sat down on a low stool in tbe corner. Apologizing for tbe rude reception hi* people had given us. he asked us to remain till tbe following day, as some of hie chiefs bad not arrived from their villages. A table of native manufacture was brought tn.the Queen spread a tablecloth over It, and “tombu,” untntoxi* eating palm wine, was presented.

At time* tbe young men had tbe advantage. and brought the body back from tbe grave; ihcn the spirits prevailed and dragged them forward. A man kept beating a drum. Tne Okrlka arc well clothed, most of tbe clothing being nvnle from the palm leaf. Th>-y mo in quaintdl with several vegetable dyei-jl vo—a y< ll >w and a blue—are used to paint their permns. We sl-pt lo O/obome, a large village which hua an oil market, and about two miles from the capital. A good dinner was provkitil, and we were offered a choice of sleeping apartments, close inner rooms or the open verandah; my companions preferred tho latter. I was conducted to a neighboring house and found the people very kind. My bed, small boxes, of unequal hlgbt unluckily was in tbe best room, In which I found a good fire, thirty kogs of powder, and a conslderable quantity of doth nnd gin. I managed to sleep tolerably well, but my companions were badly bitten by the sand files. A king’s messenger came for us atsumlse, and shortly after seven wo were seated with tbe king and his chiefs. King Flbla remarked that In Bonny the king and chiefs could settle public affairs, but in Okrlka the people always wanted lo he present. He though it won' I be better to have the interview in a pubtu , .nee, so that tbe people could hear all that was said and not have to pester him with questions after wo were gono. We accordingly adjourned to the street. There was some disturbance at first, but nothing like that of an excited political gathering in a civilized country. King Fibla requested them to bo silent and listen to Whftt WMM Bllide Ills Prime Minister and orator having before him specimens of two kinds of dried fish, a ti-h trap, and piece of net, commenced by remarking that they were glad to see me. They did not understand tbe customs of tbo white men; no white man had ever been In their town before, and they hoped I would excuse them if .they proceeded in their own way. He then picked up the dried fl-h, the trap and net, and banded them to me, say Inn: • Bonny and Calabar have ships to trade with, but Oknka has nothing but tl-h. It Is on fish we live, it Is with fl*h we buy the oil we have to sell, and this has been the case ever since Okrlka has been a country.’ it was In the creeks 1 saw Incoming that they caught their fish, and Calabar men came Into these creek* and stole their fish out of the nets, and also robbed their canoes.” Mr. Livingstone discussed with them terms of peace, and it was finally arranged that Flbla should *end down two of his chiefs to meet tbo chiefs of Bonny and Calabar, and settle ih« diff-rence*. The Consul adds: “Tbe session lasted four hours and a half. Never before in Africa have I seen such powerful looking men as the Okrlka. leouldnot but admire tbetr physical strength. As they set before me chewing bits of chop stick to clean their teeth, and gazing earnestly at me, the thought occasionally flashed across my mind,'Are these cannibals wondering bow a piece of roast Consul would taste, and which would be most savory, cold Consul or botF On parting, Flbla made me a present of about a cartload of gigantic yams, two goats and a lowl.”

Women.
The following incident, related by the Thompsonvllle, Georgia, Enterprise, of a recent date, will serve to show bulb the pluck of Southern women and the outrages which even Southern ladles have to stand at the bands of
a radical government:
Tbe community of Fletcbervllle was thrown Into a state of excitement on Saturday last by an assault upon white ladies by soldiers at-
tached to the freedmen’s bureau.
The following are the facta stated by a wit-
ness, as well aa wa era remember them:
Mrs. General King notified a colored woman living In n small bouse on her premises that she could no longer remain there, a* account of highly improper conduct. The woman first flaw into a p*a*ton, made many threat*, and applied to the bureau for protection. On her return sbo found that Mrs. King bad put her things out of the house, and bad discovered a bundle of her own missing articles among the plunder. These proceedings enraged tbe woman so that she struck Mrs. King a violent blow, but was deterred from further violence by the resolution of Mise Jaafe Cooper, niece to
Mrs. King, who waa al*o present.
The woman now returned to Captain White for the promised protection, and soon reap, peared with three eoldlers, armed rad equippad a* tbe “bureau direete.” Besides Mia*
Cooper, mother niece of Mr. King we* present, Mrs. Sheftell. Determined that (he woman should not be redomleilinted on her ptremlaae, Mrs. King nnd her two nieces stationed themSalve# in the doorwny, to prevent (he soldiers from returning the women’s things to tbe
house.
One of the three soldiers to toe honor of bte manhood, refused to participate in violence to tbe women and stood aloof: but the other two.

GERMAN BITTERS, Prepared by DR. C. R. JACKSON, xngcxx^AJDsrjpxxxA. This Bitten is a compound of fluid extracts. The roots and herbs from which it is made are gathered in Germany, and their virtues, in the form of extracts, extracted by one of the most scientific chemists and pharmaceutists this country affords. It is NOT A. LIQUOR PREPARATION In any sense of thewurd; contains no whisky, rum, or any other intoxicating ingredients, and can be freely used in families without any fear or risk of those using it contracting the disease ot vice of intemperance. We wish this fact distinctly understood, as maqy are apt to confound this Bitters with the many others efore the public prepared from liquor of some kind. During the Cholera, Season OflMflthis Bitten was extensivclyused throughout the entire country AS A PREVENT!VK, And we have not heard of a single instance which this Bitters was used, where the perso suffered from any of the symptoms of Cholera.

PROSPECTUS
OP THE
INDIANAPOLIS BERALD, Ifeailj sand Weekly* for 18«7. The great political questions which are to be discussed and decided during the coming year possess a general and absorbing interest. To secure an intelligent verdict upon them, the public mind should be thoroughly informed upon the issues, and the best means of information is an able and fearless press. Every Democrat should take a paper, especially one that enlightens him on the questions in which he is immediately interested. The Proprietors ot the Heuald intend that it shall not only fully discuss the general Issues before the country, but also those connected with State policy. There can be no more powerful agency In maintaining Constitutional Liberty than a fbee press, and It shall be the leading object of the Herald to advocate the equal rights and sovereignty of the States, in all powers not delegated to the Federal Government and the personal liberty of the citizen. The Herald will oppose all usurpations of powers, whether In the National or State Governments, and insist upon the subordination of the military to the civil role. It will advocate the restoration policy ot President Johnson, the immediate admission of the Representatives of the Southern States in Congress, and a recognition of all the people of the States lately in rebellion, who have returned to their allegiance as citizens, with the full rights and privileges of citieen&hip, in order to restore the pacitication of the country and its tormee prosperity The Herald will oppose negro si/ frage and all attem to place political powe/ n the hands of the black race.
