Friday Morning, Aug. 33. 1867.
From ilia Mm'nn Teh'umph.
Utnrrtl l*ou* >ml tho Hocoiinlnirtluii
Aria.
Itlms been our ploiwmo to approve ntnl-com
mend, ({riiiirally, tin: adininlatmtloi) of General
l*opc, in tlm pnat. Invested with extraordinary
power, micli aa lew Knrupenn deapota possess,
we thought we mw in Idm a disposition to treat
the Southern people with fairness, and to dis-
elmrfje his dHficull duties in Bitch manner as to
hriiiK upon them the least amount of actual op
pression. His conrso has indicated a desire to
make friends ot our people, and not enemies
in conducting them hack into the Union overlh
rough path marked out by the Radical Congress,
to eo upletc the journey with as few foot-sores
and heart-burnings as limy !to v possible in the
1 peculiar circumstances of the case. In view
ot the many temptations to the abuse ol power,
and the evil Influences, both here and at Wash-
iilgton, by which tie was surrounded, we regard
ed his course, in the main, as eminently just and
worthy of our approval. This we did not hesi
tale, aa public journalists, freely to accord to
him. Aud whntercr chaugos recent events may
have wrought in the public estimation of the
man aud officer, wo still think he is animated by
just motives, and if left to himsclt would do what
is right. But it requires a mental calibre lar
greater than his, and experience in civil admin
istration that he is not even expected to possess,
to come up to the demauds of enlightened st ates
manship and patriotic duty with a virtue and lor-
titudo suited to the grave occasion. 1 le is young,
inexperienced, and yet ambitious and not without
vanity. It is not singular then that he should catch
any prevailing distemper of the times, or fall a vic
tim to those who are wiser and more cunning than
himself. That ho has rocontly erred, and that
Ins general policy, as indicated in his orders, is
not dictated by thoso pure and lofty considera
tions of the public welfare that so eminently
belli his station, we think no sober-minded, re
flecting tuan will dispute. The great difficulty
with him in arriving at just conclusions is, that
he has based his administration on false premi
ses. These wrong, his eflorts in pursuance
therooi must necessarily fail in their object, viz :
the re-union and pncification ol the country.
Some remarks in illustration of this point wo
consider demanded by the occasiou, and we
shall make them with all becoming deference
for Gen. Pope, who, we believe, is in the wrong
road not lrom any particular choice ol his own,
but simply because he was put there in the start,
and has not had the courage to displease his su
periors at Washington by taking another.
The source of errors in the practical adminis
tration of our District Commander is to be found
in a total misconception of the Itecouslrucliou
acts, which he was sent South to administer. He
has made the mistake of construing those mea
sures, or rather reconstructing under them, as
wmpulaory upon the Southern people. He acts
aa though Congress had said tho South xlmU tie
reconstructed under these bills, when it has said
no such thing. What are the Reconstruction
bills'! They provide that such aud such things
niuy be done by the people of the late seceded
Stales, open up an opportunity for doing
them, and declare that upon the doing of the
same they shall be re-admitted with all their
rights into the Union. This is all. Beyond
a prescription of the class of persons who
shall be entitled to Vote, they command no
thing. Their whole gist is a proposition to the
South, which it can accept or reject at its own
good pleasure. There is not a word ol compul
sion anywhere to be found in the several acts, but
the utmost freedom is allowod to the citizen to
do just as his own best judgment shall dictate.
He can register or not. Ho can vote for or
against a Convention, aud such a body is to ex
ist or not as the majority shall determine. If a
Convention bo held it shall be at liberty to form
such a Constitution as they shall deem best lor
the State. If a constitution bo formed, it must
be submitted buck to the people and command
a mojority of all the registered votes before it
can be valid as the fundamental law ol the State.
The largest freedom and discretion nre specially
guaranteed in every step of this progressive ac
tion, and provision is even made to secure
the perfect independence of voters. Such
are the reconstruction bills, and General
Pope lias been put over the Third Military Dis
trict for the solo purposo of seeing that they arc
executed and ol preserving the public peace.—
Now, you cannot execute a law without enforc
ing all of its provisions, and it is very certain
that it is not executed when any ol its provisions
or guarantees are interlerrcd with or obstructed.
As freedom of action is guaranteed to the citizen,
any act of the military commander that restrains
that freedom, whether applied to voting, speak
ing or writing, so far from oxecuting the law is a
palpable violation ot it on his part. It is as
much ids duty under tho law to protect A in
voting against reconstruction us it is to protect
B in voting for reconstruction. How lar then
must bo the departure from duty when he essays
to punish A lor executing an undoubted right
under the law ? The Congress has prescribed no
penalty for opposition to reconstruction under
theso laws—by what right does a district com
mander prescribe one ?
Thus it is clear that when Gen. Pope issued
his orders prohibiting all officers of the State
from expressing any oplulon or using any in
fluence in opposition to reconstruction uuder
tho Military Bills, he did that which hud no
warrant in the law itself or in common justice ;
aud when he went further aud actually pun
ished the Conservative press for advising the
people to adopt one ol the two alternatives
submitted to them by Congress, hu most griev
ously transcended his powers, and even violated
the very laws which he was sent here to enforce.
Wo appeal to any jurist, or fair-minded, sensible
man, North or South, if we are not right in our
construction of the law and of the duties arising
under it. If we are not, then Inis Congress, in
a solemn act of legislation, put upon the country
a lie and a cheat, os unjust to the South us it is
derogatory to itself, lii the form ot an honest
proposition for reunion, it has been guilty of
laying a snare to entrap a people wholly in its
power, in order to oppress and plunder them
when caught.
The great blunder of Gen. Pope consists in
mistaking the wishes of the Badicul party for the
laws ot the land, and considering himself the
representative of that faction and not of the
Uuitcd States of Amorica. Wo hope he will
take a more enlarged and elevaled view ot his
office and its duties; and if he should not, but
persist in considering himself an agent for the
propagation of Kadical principles in the South,
we trust the President will put some one in his
place who will have a higher and Juster concep
tion of the duties to bo performed, and consider
himself an impartial officer of the United States,
and not the missionary of party.

Let the Machine dowu Into a common wash tub, by
culling notches into the sides, lor the Journals to rest in,
until it comes within one Inch of the bottom of the tub;
till with-hot water until the water covers the pebbles iu
the machine two luches; wet the clothes iu warm water
(it is better to soak clothes over night,) then rub a little
sott soap on all the dirty places; then put the clothes
into the machine with the pebbles, and always till the ma
t-blue half lull of clothes, shaking them out as they are
put in; then close up the door anu turn the crunk from
three to live mluutes, keeping a slow, steady motion un
til the dirt isout; then run through a wringer; then boil
as usual; then put tho clothes back into the machine
with the tub full of cold water; give the machine eight or
ten turns and your clothes are ready for the bluing water,
and then bang out to dry. Never turn the maebluo when
empty of clothes, as It breaks the stones. If any of the
pebbles become broken, pick them out.
