<8 l)f tlailn City Printer—Official Paper HKtiKST I'llY CIKt’I’I.VTION AUOCBTA. A. FRIDAY MORNING July IJ. IB6T To C liy Ruiinrw Tien. Mr. U. L. Gentry, Iruvelbiiq agent for the Da lt Press, and also the Ckrislit in Messenger, will visit every family in Columbia, Lincoln, and Wilkes counties, during the next two months, and will advocate the interests of both papers. A favorable oppor tunity is thus presented to advertisers, to extend their notices into the three counties named above. Which it Better? Those of our friends who are squeatn ish about consulting “ policy'' in the j r sent portentous state of affairs would do well to remember that the only choice is between policy and impolicy, and thut to reject the former is to accept the latter. Reconstruction must and will take place, whether we will or not —just as certainly if we oppose it as it we aid it. We may delay it for a short time, by defeating a Convention, or by sending to that body too many obnoxious mem bers, or by presenting at Washington an unacceptable Constitution, but Congress will not fail to order the process to be gone through with again, nor will it fail to see that those who have caused the failure shall have no purl in the second attempt. The result will be that we will have reconstruction and a State government formed under the worst auspices and administered on the most intolerant and proscriptive system. The whole question is, shall we throw into the reconstruction move ment as much of the worth and intelli gence of the State as possible, or leave it and the future administration of the State iu the hands of the ignorant, the ill-disposed, the proscriptive, and the propertyless classes? Are sensible peo ple to be deterred by the taunt of “ pursuing policy,” from the endeavor to utilize their influence and preserve as much control as possible in the hands of the better people of the State, when not to do so is to pursue impolicy! There is no middle grouud, says the Richmond Whig. We must do what prudence suggests, or accept what imprudence brings. We must consult expediency, or eat the fruits of inex pediency. We must act upon “calcula tion” or against “calculation.” The situation is one which calls for the common sense, and appeals to the motives of action which we allow to control us iu the ordinary affairs of life. To do the best that circumstances admit is as wise and as moral in politics ns in business or in private conduct. The South and Reconstruction. Under the above head we find in that Conservative Republican paper,the New York Times, of Monday last, the fol lowing article, which we recommend to the attentive perusal of our readers : Congress is disposed to make clean work of its reconstruction business. The bill reported by the Reconstruction Committee in the House is definite enough, and absolute enough, to satisfy the most fastidious. It simply makes the military commander of each district the only government over its people and within its limits ; and sweeps away all other authority, legislative, executive or judicial, that might stand in his way. It treats the whole Southern country us il it were in a state of war, and hands it over to the absolute control of military power. We are not disposed to object to this. We deem it wholly unconstitutional, but that seems to be of little conse quence. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison would have opened their eyes pretty wide, if such action had been proposed iu their day, or if they had been told it would become pos.-ible in anybody's day ; but they have both been dead a long time, and are becom ing more dead every year. Resides, we are passing through a revolution—one much more thorough and complete than the one which achieved our independ euco of Great Rritain—one which is working far greater changes in the nature of our government and the spirit of our institutions than that did— one before which constitutional forms and limitations of power avail less than nothing as checks and on the popular will. But the country stands in ihe pres ence of one paramount, overwhelming necessity—the necessity of a restored Union; and we shall not oppose or resist anything which promises that. There is danger that if we do not get that soon, we shall never get it. There is danger that our government may become one of factions backed by force —of conflicting sections and States—of jarring and wrangling interests, yield ing obedience only to arms, having no sympathy with each other, no common pride, no niHtual lo.ve, no adequate consciousness of their common weal and common destiny. The Reconstruction Law promises to restore the Union, if its conditions are fulfilled. It opens a gate through which the Southern States can come back and again become constituents ot the na tion. We want to see that end accom plished, and we welcome any law, any authority, any state of things which promises to bring it about. We think it tar better that the South should be sub jetted for six months to the will of five military commanders, each of them ab solute and supreme in his own district, than be exposed to commotion, anarchy mid military domination for ten years. ■And that seems to us the only alterna tive open to them. We trust, therefore, that Congress will pass its explanatory law without delay. Make it so clear and explicit that even Mr. Stanbery, with his legal microscope, can detect no flaw in it. Whatever else it is, let it at least be definite, and then, when the Southern blates have uccepted and fulfilled its conditions, keep faith with them and take them back into Congress and the Union on an equal looting witli the other States. When that is done, we shall have a beginning ol a restored and perfected Union—if we tire ever to have it at all. 10, tlio Poor Indian I Os the Indian race which once thickly peopled this continent, only three hun dred and fifty thousand men, women, and children remain iu the United States. Lo! the Poor Mexican! The Boston /W don't think much ol the whole tribe of Mexicans. Hear him : Good men there are among them, no doubt; but aa rare as drift wood upon the ocean. Their domestic wars have always been characterized by the moat savage barbarities. When they have had a recognized government its power has been exercised in acts of trespass upon all foreigners within its jurisdiction, and when called to account has always refused reparation. That miserable old scamp, who sold himself to General Houston, to President Polk, to Maximilian, and cheated all three, is a fair type of Mexican rulers, and no more a child of sin than most of them. The shooting of Maximilian was a cowardly act, and it any new atrocity could add to the disgrace ot Mexico, his blood would sink the nation to the lowest point ot degradation in the eyes of tho civilized world. The very gov ernment that condemned him was no more legitimate than his own. Juarez ended his constitutional term of office long ago, and Ortega is his lawful suc cessor; but Juarez, being in control, retains his place iu express opposition to the provisions of the Constitution under which he pretends to govern, and will probably hold on to his seat until some other usurper shoots him, and thus legitimately succeeds him accord ing to the Code Mexican. A filibust ring fever, with the watch words “Ou to Mexico I” prevails iu New Orleans in ail circles. Confed erates and Federals partake of it alike. At the anniversary dinner at the St. Charles, ex Gov. Weller, of California, gave as a sentiment “ On to the Halls of the Motitezumas,” and was respond ed to with applause. The Petersburg Express does not see any effectual way of abating that offence to civilization, that oppression to humanity and decency, called Mexico, except marching a division of United States troops into that country, and holding military possession ol it till it has become sufficiently civilized to be incorporated in the American Republic. It would form a fine country lor the emigration of our freedmen, who would find the climate and the soil all they could desire, and no drawback but the society. Thomas Francis Meagher. The New York Times has the follow ing sketch of this well known Irishman : A dispatch informs us of the death by drowning of Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher, Secretary and Acting Gov ernor of Montana Territory. He was born in Waterford, Ireland, on the 3d ot August, 1823, and, consequently, at the time of his death, had nearly completed his lorty-fourtli year. It is well known that he took a prominent part in Irish politics as one of the leaders of the “Young Ireland Party,” and that after being tried and convicted on the charge of treason he was sentenced to death. This sentence, however, was commuted to banishment for life to Van Pieman's Land. Thence he escaped, and obtain ing passage by a sailing vessel, he arrived at this port in May. 1852. On his arrival here he was received with much enthusiasm. Public receptions were tendered him almost without number, and for many years the anni versary of his arrival was celebrated by a club which bore his name. For some time after he lectured in various parts of the country, and in 1854 he visited California. Subsequently, he read and practiced law in this city ; edited the Irish News, a weekly paper, in 1850 ; visited Central America the following year, and passed some time afterward in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. He raised a company for the sixty ninth regiment, in 1801, and accompa nied it to the field. Early in the war, however, he was assigned to the com mand of the Irish brigade, and shared its fortunes in nearly all the campaigns ol the army of the Potomac. He was wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg hut speedily recovered and resumed his command. He was much beloved by his troops, who were mostly bis own countrymen, and over whom be exer cised great control. On the field of battle be was always conspicuous, and had a happy faculty of inspiring his soldiers with the greatest enthusiasm at the critical moment. He was recently appointed Secretary of Montana, and as Acting Governor has declared himself to be earnestly in favor of a vigorou and energetic prosecution of a war against the Indians. —There is an old farmer in Northern Ohio who gets up at day light, builds fire, puts on the tea kettle, dusts the furniture, goes to the Btable and feeds the horses, then calls up the folks. Having a taste for reading he goes to a room where he keeps his books, builds a fire, sweeps out, and reads till break fast time. This is Ben Wade, Vice President of the United States.—A 7 . I'.
