Alabama Election.

The Newi-'ork Timet, one of the ablest of tlm loading Republican Journals of the coantry,unequivocally pronounces the congremon. al plan of reconstruction a (allure, and that uothlug'else can be made of it. We can not present to our renders any thing more Interesting and to the point thin the frank admission of the Timet, as to the (allure of tbo radical Congress in its attempts to restore the Southern States and the reasons It ghe* therefor. The

limes says:

Immediately on thoctose of the war I’resL . dent Lincoln commenced the work of reconstruction, in the way and on the principles laid down and stnadlly maintained by all the departments of the' Government during the w «r. Upon hlsd ath President Johnson cont nurd the work noon the same principles and lu stibstantlilly the same way. Whatever may have been tbo merits or demerits of that plan, one thlug Is perfectly certain:—if It had been carried through, it would have accomplished, long ngo. what all men of all parties, nnd especially all Republicans pr leased to seek—the restoration of the Union and the I’stabILhroeut of peace and prosperity In the Sail!hern States. Congress arrested the progress of that attempt at reconstruction — whether wisely or unwisely wo are not now discussing. The fact is all we deal with now. Congress arresieu mo work, repudiated the whole plan and the principles on which it rested, anil devised one of its own to take Its place. Through the whole of both sessions the Thirty-ninth Congress' struggled to devise, enact and put Into operation us own plan of restoring the Southern States to the Union, uml giving them again the rights of self-

ng.i

government and of sharing In tbcGorornment

of the nation, which belong

Igh e a

to all the Mates

under the Constltutlou. Congress completed Its work nearly a year ago; and forthwith entered upon the task of putting It* plan In operation. The Hepubllcan Uougres,tonal Coin ml t toe took the matter In hand. Fund* weru raised; agents sent into every Southern State to oigAidze the movement; comuiltt-os wre appointed and correspondence established In every town and county; secret lodges of the Loyal League tonkin hand the organiz itlon and dlicilpiue «1 tho ui-gro voters; the Freedman's Bureau, through all us agencies, was active, and etf iclive In aiding the movement; the registries were revised and closely scrutloiked so as to get every colored Voter on, and. to kcepe.ery uistrancbued wnuemsn off; the coinujitnders uf the military departments gave every p "t-iuie -Upp irt to tbo piau, the Stale couvioilou* elect, d under the law wero devoted heart slid aoul to the cougreaidoual Bcooim ; and Ropuhiiu m Sona'.ors and in inb. r- of Goiign b-, al er traveling through the Siuib. rcporie I at headquarters that everytldiu w is going on In rue m si sati-laotory maiiuer, wild that tho congreaxlohal reconKt i uctlon plan was sure to prove a imiuiphaot »u c. as. “ Yet at the very flrst popular election held on that plan, and Under the law In which It 1* embodied, the plan breiksdown altogether Toe roiislltutlou, framed by the couveullnlj elected under the law, la r.j-ctetl by the voce of tim people to wbnm it w** submitted b> the tw; audio prect.oiv the furm and manner Vf rich the law prescribed.

dlat|UCt sslonal

Congress io restore tbe Union has not done It. It ha* not accomplished the object for which It was enacted. And li that is not " fstlure," we should teel obliged to the Tribune IIH will

t II Us what It Is.

The Timet trkes the ssmi view of the linttor as did Gevernor Morton Is bis cele brated Richmond speech, so far as the restoration plans of rresldents Linclom and Johnson sre concerned, and that I* they were substantially tbe same, excepting that Mr. Johnbon was less lenient towards the rebel* than Mr. Lincoln proposed to be. The Governor „ uu went tomewbat further Is his approval of the ^ man's

work of reconstruction under Mr. Lincoln and his successor than does tho Timet, la declaring thst the whole counley Indorsed tbe plan in tho re-eloctlon ot the martyred President. But a change took place, not fer the boneflt of the country bnt to promote the interests of party, and Senator MoKTON was found foremost In eclttrg aside what he had declared to ba tbe vei'dlot of the country, and In conooctlng a new scheme, wAch the Times now concedes to be a failure. And the defeat Is the more slgnlffoant when tbe circumstances' are considered under which tbo attempt was made to force tho congressional reconstruction policy upon the excluded States. Tboentlro South was placed under rigorous military despotism, aid ample power was given to tbo commander* to force the S'hemo upon th# people. And to ensure Us sucoe**, white suffrage wa* restricted, while the whole negro population was .eulraachlsed. In addition, radical congressmen prcambulated the Southern States, holding out every Inducement to tho people to succumb to the policy, and radical emissaries were scattered all through tho S mth to co-operate In accomplishing tho work. Notwlthstandlogall these appliances and agendo*, In tho first popular election held under the reconstruction plan of Congress, It met wiu a signal defeat. In view of the fads In the case, the Timet Is fully juellUcd In its declaration that tbe policy of Congress 1* a (allure, “ a distinct and uumlsl ikable (allure.” On tbe other band, It must be admitted that If the work of reconstruction commenced by Mr. Lincoln ami continued by Mr. Johnson had not been interfered with by Congress, long ago all tbo Soutborn Stales would have been restored to representation and fellowship, with constitutions containing •It tho guarantees and concessions that Ibe Government had tha right to demand ol States. And why Is the congressional policy a failure? We will lot the Timet answer this

question. It says:

Now Id our Juagmont the fatal defect In tbe Congressional plan of recomruolion Is that it attempt* to establish telf government for twelve millions uf people, wanout allowing the ciuhicst wtighl tu the opinions,Interests, sentiments and pr jU'itces of ih* eight millions ol whiles who »re ',mni>g ibsm. Those eight mLliuiie are Ip number two-thirds of ibr whole, ami evffi, ih" Tribunt will not dispuie tha' In tuirlli.aiice, uuuuie, knowledge ol bu m »s so” • xperteoce of public affairs, In all n q isi fl atious uulversally ndnmitd to br ess- I, > ial u> the practical conduct ot govon • RP'ii', lb' v constitute what la iqulvalent t niut tenlhi of 'he whole population.

That la me radical, lalal d'feet In tbo con-

prosperc

does the Tribune suppose taxes we to be collected,—crime punished, equality, of rights secured, the senument of national Interest and national pride cultivated and strengthened, under such a rule as It foreshadow*! Solely, of course, by the armed power of the nation; by tbe presence of tbo sword and the bayonet In every town and every precinct of the State which are thus to be ruled; by plain, naked force. Just such as rule* the people of Austria, of Turkey and of Russia to-day. It 1* rather melancholy to reflect that our American Ideas of republican government have cpme to tbla—ana that this plan Is the one especially urged by those who claim to be tho friends of progress—the advocates of republican liberty aga of democratic institu-

tions throughout tbe world!

These are wholesome truths from a Republican source and tho difects which the Timet points out so forcibly In th^ reconstruction policy of Congress should Insure Its rejection. Its argument against tho scheme should be convincing with all who desire to preserve republican government, not on ly In name, but In essence. The Idea of making a minority, “theState,” as Senator Sherman proposes in the bill ho Introduced to admit Alabama upon a constitution which was repudiated by her people, would be at war with all Idea of republican Institutions—a government of tho people. And Congress seems ready to commit this great crime, a crime, if perpetrated, that will make this a government of force, of centralized despotism, Instead of consent. Does It not then become every man who values republican Institutions, who desires to preserve and perpetuate this republican government to unite In defeating, overwhelmingly detecting a policy which must result, If it is succei!iful,ln converting it Into a government of force as much so as Au itria, France or any

other despotic power.

pT The violent personal assaults of tbe Journal upon Mr. Uendricbs exhibit a mean and malicious spirit. The animus of tbe attacks is so obvious that tbe only Injury will be the reoii upon their instigators and au-ih-i’ Tu. j Jo J|r. Hendricks no barm whatever, nor the cause be represents. Instead of that they nd I to tbe strength of both. If toe Journal coullntu* Us venemous course toward* him it will largely Increase his majority next fall. A cause which is forced to resort to such agencies must be desperate Indeed and,lt will soon reach an Inlamy which will place It beyond resurrection. Mr. Hendricks made another speech In the Senate yesterday, and we may, therefore, look for ajmore virulent assault upon him in the Journal of this morning than ever. JGT Several hundred of the ablest and best white citizens of Alsbama, have petitioned Congress to b« spared the ev ils of negro domination. We publish this morning the memorial In full, and it will be found an exceedingly Interesting document. Its statements are brief and to tho point, and It* appeal to the sense of Justice of the North 1* alike forci-

ble and eloquent.

Last week, one-lhird uf all the real estate In Indianapolis was sold for taxes. The 1 tint shark* bought It up, and will tax the former owners fifty per cent, to get It back again. And what are we working for? We are working for money to pay taxes to keep a party in power whoso entire legislation 1* to traraplothe people lu the dust, and vote themselves plunder. The soldiers that happily escaped the enemy’s bullets, aud disease, are toiling to pay bounties that were voted stay at home* to keep out of the draft.

Competition among the principal cities Esst

Wash. McLean has been In New York for some time, working for Cincinnati, and will be here in time for tbe meeting of the national committee on February Tl. Chicago has a delegation on the ways here, In behalf of that city, Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore will enter the list also. —General Grant, In his letter to Stanton upon the latter’* removal from the War Department, stated thst he assumes the position of Secretary of War ad tntreim by direction of the President. In bis letter to the President of February 3 he says that he accepted It to prevent him,the President, from appointing some one he might object to. What atatement are we to t elie ve ? If one be true, tbe other must be false, as they are contradictory of each other. Will the General deny this, anything

to the contrary notwithstanding?''

A Radical Flank Movement.—Information, from several official sources In the South, brings to light a plot which la giving the Grant radicals a deal of aoklety. It appears that a number of agents of tbe freedmen’s bureau, acting In the nominal capacity of scbeol Inspectors, have been traveling through the South, organising aecret aocletlea among the negroes, and pledging them agalnstGrant, am In favor of whoever tho extreme radical* ol the North may unite upon. Tbe movement Is understood to be principally In the Intereat of General Howard as a candidate for VicePreaIdent, and tbe argument used by these secret agents in his favor, being that he is in high favor with Northern radicals, and at the tame time iu favor of complete aoclal equality be-

And flrst as to the mammalia. In certain ■parts of Africa, in Trindad, Ceylon, Borneo, and 3outh America, boiled and roasted monkey is considered a delicacy—tho red spider fox and bowling monkeys each possessing a peculiar flavor. Indeed » gorilla steak, to the South African, is a morsel not to be excelled; but, as this custom Is too nearly allied to canaballsm. Anglo-Saxon travelers have seldom been tempted.to participate. In the island* of Msurmus and Malabar aeveral varieties of the bat, some of them with wings four feet In extent, are eaten by the natives with avidity; but the story that the Dutch, when In puBsesaion of the former Island, were fond of tbe monkev, is said to be incorrect. The Arabs do not object to the ilosh of the hyena, although so rank that the dogs will not tonch It; and It Is well known that the

Curiosities of as Constitution. It seems a paradox to say that those person* who shout loudest for liberty are commonly tbe moat Illiberal; but the world abounds In proofs of assertion. The telegraph brings fresh evidence from the State of Arkansas. Tbo convention which his been incubating at Little Rock lor a long time past has halcbcd out a constitution, which combines the extremes of freedom and tyrany to an extent bard to parallel in history, After giving the ballot to women and negroes, and making themcoinpetentlor jury duly, it proceed* to declare bow voting shall be done on tbe new Conilltutlon. Voters aro required to swear that they have never given aid to secession in any State. This offers a premium to peijury, or fhUls the door of repentance and reiormatlou against thoseto’bo have erred; and i* of Itself a monstrous Instance of li justlce. Not satisfied with this, the framer* of tbe Con*tUutlnn clap a muzzle upon every man’s mouth by requiring him to swear that be accepts for all tune the social and political equality of the white and black races, not merely the “political,” obsorvo, but the “so. elal*'! But the essential despotism of this oew constitution reaches the climax when, after luelsilug on all these qualifications for voting, it disfranchises all persons who shall vote against the new constitution!

A New lingliand Undlcal Killed, A few day* alnce, we printed among “Southern Item*,” a statement that one Mr. Klehardi-on, “radical member of the Georgia cousiltutionnl convention, bad been shot by ouo OpUIn Timoncy, a United States mill. I iry officer. MrifLchanlson was a native of ILxfield, Maine. At tho commencement of iho war be was a law student In Dlxlleld, and entered a*a private lu tbe first Maine regiment. SubHtqneutly bo joined the Twelfth Maine, Sbepley’s regiment, a* a Lleutanant, and served In Louisiana. Afterward he was under Sheridan In the valley of the Shenandoah. Alter the war he was a frsadman’s bureau agent. In Georgia. He finally opened a law offi :e In Augusta, Georgia, and was elected to the constitutional convention by the

,1 c orsof Baldwin county.

Timoney, who shot him, is said to have been aCaptaln lu tbe Fifteenth United State* Infan try, but resigned for some cause, and afterward waa appointed to superintend tbe Interment of tho Federal dead at Marietta, Georgia. A correspondent of thaNew York Times say* of Mr. Rlch*rd*on’« last movement. " “I am told that, a- few hours before he lost tbe power of speech, he expressed regret that be had ever left bis native State “to attempt to force on Georgia laws and Institutions which Maine would not allow.” And he also expressed sorrow that he had eought a

difficulty with Mr. Ttmoney.”

The cause of this fatal affair was the bad feeling engendered In tbe fierce contest between two radical candidate* for the office of Governor of Georgia, Farrow and Bullock. Captain Timoney was tbe’partisan of Farrow, and Richardson of Bullock. An occurrence at a nominating meeting gave rise to a fierce attack on Richardson by Timoney. In a published “eird,” to which a fierce rejoinder was made by Richardsotl; then there waa a personal encouoter, and tbe fatal shot was fired.

From theHaraldot Health. liudlcallem Ouidosie—Anoiber Social Kevolution — Women to do the Courting. The sexes are fully equal in Intellect, in moral sense, and even In phltlque (admitting that women were designed to bo more delicately organized,) taking tbe standpoint from tho best models, which is the true criterion, all other* being exceptional—therefore there is a propriety lu admitting that a woman has a right to choose her husband, just as' much so as fur a man to choose a wife; and the only pretext for denying that 1* based upon the inferior one of sex only. In saying ibis I shall have the whole In- | numerable array of lOmace* writers and readers, a* well aa Ihe imbecilea of both sexfes, crying out againsUne; nevertheless I stand to tbe point and nail my coiera to the mast in defence of it—that It Is right, proper and delicate for a woman to choose her husband; and tbe man tbua distinguished by her choice will feel himself ennobled and sanctified, and will reward such a woman with tenfold tenderness and reverence. I am by no mens writing to have It understood that I counsel women to go about “popping tbe question” to men here and there like an army of grenadiers; far from It. A man rarely “pops tbe question” till he is pretty well assured in his own mind as to tbe kind of a response be will receive; and In all cases a refined woman prevents a lover from explaining himself where she is bent upon a denial of bis suit. Literature is full of heroine* who are practising after the fashion of the renowned Nparlun boy, and we follow them through innumerable paves of vapid sentiment, where they are living and acting myruda of Ilea In order to upold a theory fdse In fact and false tc-nslure. Tho two axes are one in a scientific point of view, and there is no merit In a woman who lays her heart on tha altar of pride merely for the sake of pride. It 1* no worse for a woman to be rejected than for a man to be so; If men and women were high and true, they would each regard tne other in so pure, so bodily a light that these going* lortb of the heart would be too sacred even to be revealed; they would be too solemn for Just, too deeply real for gossip. Tney would be laid away.' shrouded like many a human hope, dead but beautiful, in the lone chamber* of the toil^to be looked upon reverently, Just a* so many of us garner In aoine secret receptacle a leaf, a hud, a lock of hair, whose history Is known only to u* and tbe angel*. Let our women be free not only to reject, but to choose, also. Men and women are likely to do this without any great expenditure of lansuage, for the vocabulary of love 1* more expensive than words. 1 have known several women of refinement and intellect who owned that their husbands were rather sought after by them than otherwise, and these matches were among tbe happiest 1 have ever known, i'erbaps tf a woman deludes a mm In this way Into marriage she feela bound to mako hla condition a happy one tf posrlble.

There were two brothers in the same town in which she lived, very different In character and Inferior to tier.ell In rink, but both very ' estimable men.

Milk as an article of food (except for sucking babies) Is loathed by the South Sea Islanders. Gnat* have been introduced Into several of the Island!'; but the people deride the settlers with using the milk, and ask them why they do not milk their sows. On the other band, dogs and rats are favorite articles of food with them. As for pork, it is on religious grounds that the Jews and Mohammedan* abstain from tt, as the Hindoos do from beef. But the Christians of the East seem to have nearly an <qu*l aversion to it; and the like

prevailed until Iqtely In Scotland.

Maze or Indian corn has been Introduced into New 7. laud by the missionaries, and the people cultivate and highly esteem it. But their mode ot preparing it for food Is to civilized people most disgusting. They steep It in water till It 1* putrid, and then make it Into a kind of porridge which emits an Intolerable

stench.

Human flesh has been and still Is eaten In many part* of tbe world, and that by people considerably above the lowest rank of savages, such as those In the Fej >e Islands and an Indian people called the Bitta, who are said to have a written language. And even in cannibalism there are great diversities—some nations eat their enemies and some their

fnends.

Herodotus relates that a Persian king asked the Indian soldiers that were in his service wbat reward would Induce them to burn the dead bodies of their friends Instead of eating them. They replied by entrenting him not to mention anything so shocking. On the other hand, the New Zialanders, befere their conversion, who seemed to have considered that the proper diet of mankind is man, were once in tha habit of eating onlv their eoemles. • J Among tbe Australian savages Itis said thst If a mother finds s young baby troublesome to carry shout she will eat It, although she would not sllow any one else to do toiBtoier the full persuasion thst she has merely deferred IU birth, and thst the next one she bears will be a reappearance of the eaten one When remonstrated with she will reply: “Ob Basis, he plenty come again.” ’ By some Arctic travelers it has been asserted that ths Esquimaux have been known to eat their iledget when pressed by hunger ;

Now here was • woman living a life-long lie, but Incapable of dying with U upon her conscience. How much nobler, how much better worthy of a true woman it ba t bcen.to have owned to the truth bravely, and lo abldu the Issue? Iu choosing ■ husband, It is easier to ssy wbat a woman should not choose than to say wbat she should; for the best must and will depend on characteristics best known to herself. if she Is a strong woman she may ven. ture to marry a weak man; bu: If weak hersell, let her beware of this, for alffi witJput her own life out at last, and ten to one do the same ungracious thing for her husband; while a woman of nobler proportions will be more forbearing, and make up, alto, for some of bis deficiencies. Let not any woman marry a man with Insane blood Id bis veins. Let her not marry one deformed at birth; the disastrous and accidental destruction of any member* by war or otherwise, may exrite her compassion, and be no Impediment to deep afftoiion, but a congenial defect become* hereditary, ami by the law* of eur being will be repugnant to a wholesome-minded woman. She can not and will not marry a drunkard. She should not marry a diseased, sickly

man.

Neither will a w!*e woman m arry an old mao; fur th* true Idea of marriage 1* the union of youth, health and beauty; a thor. ough completeness of spiritual, mental and physical lite; and everything short of this la a4 but nauseous to a sympathetic, penetrative mind, as a violation of immutable laws. She will not marry a man younger than herself, uoi simply (or tbe reason *o oiten advanced, that a woman grow* old sooner than a man, which Is true only because of tbe abuses of society; lor a woman of sound health and cbeerlul mind, unswayed by the vulgir and wicked passions of envy, jealousy and malice, catrles In her own breast a fountain of perpetual beauty. Let her be temperate In all things, preserve her person fresh a* arose; her mind uud w irfed bv prejudice or Idleness; her soul, with all Its affoettons aud Impulses, pure and loving, and aho may go onward to her eighty, ninety, or a hundred years, generally beautiful lo ihe last, ill for reverence and admiration, and worthy to sit lor one of Mtebael Angelo’s Sybils. Moral obliquities of many kinds are so Intangible tbat, unlaa* carried to that excess which shows the best of manhood utterly oor- ! rupt and depraved, a woman is not likely to | know of them, and she should bo unwilling lo listen to common scandal; she must not trust to any spy or Informer, hut rely upon his truth aud her own Institutions. If she expect* to Uud Cbevalior Bayards, and Admiral Crichtons, and Immaculate Josephs ready for her asking, sbo will must likely remain without a husband. She can only hope for an approximation to tho Ideal; but if *ho Is true hearted, sincere to tha core, unselfish aud lovely lu her own llfe,sbe will be sure to make tho dear one whom she allows to be the head of the republic at home not only a happv man, but a progressively good man, growing Into spiritual insight, advancing tn dignity and manly worth, lor she will be his helpmate in building this house. This Is plain talk, but tbe subject demands It, and the world Is altogether too squeamish 'in regard to It, and so madness,-deformity, drunkenness and disease go on accumulating, with all their mental aud moral and physical obliquities, till the earth is a Uzir house and pestilent with crime. This Is, much of It, due to that false estimate of woman in the world which regard* her almost exclusively in tbe nature of sex, Instead of as God’* best and purest gift to man, to be bis help, hi* comfort and bis inspiration. It I* the woman who bnllds tbo bouse, and therefore she should take heed bow she build*. When the world grows wiser. It will accept her in her higher aspect of wisdom and forecast—moving like a queen In the midst of her household, her husband known In tbe gates 'where be sittetb with tbe elders, known a* tbe husband honored, beloved and exballed by a wife whose price Is above rubles. In the time to come it will be enough to cause tbe cheek to tingle with shame to see a discordant marriage; for then woman will choose u well ae be chosen, and she will not lend herself to sny relation other than the true and tbe holy, and man will find bWminbood augmented by marriage and the beautiful and holy relation which ft involve*. In conclusion, 1 think any woman will not marry before aho is twenty, for by so doing ah* loses that-fresh, joyous, hopeful period of life, snd a very essential part of ft for tbe ■-*- of health, study snd consolidation of chsracter—her girlhood; and she will In after hie be sure to mourn the lots of this lovely period. She will be twenty at the very least when ahe marries, and, like a true woman, she will look for • right manly man, who will bo handsome in her eyes, and represent aa nearly as possible her Ideas of masculine perfection—good sense, mental, moral and physical health; and, above all, tbe certain foresight and protectiveness alway* attractive in the eyes of nomeu.—Elizabeth Oaket Smith.
