JOK3TIT UTION ALIST. v -V ITOUSTiA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 18.180? //. It is the duty of the military authority j District to secure to the people the ut v >st freedom of speech and of the ‘press consist e with law ; not to restrict either. No satis fy curry execution of the late acts of Congress is practicable unless this freedom is secured and v<> exercise protected by the usual legal means. 111. No officer or soldier in this command Hill hereafter interfere with newspapers or s eakers on any pretense whatever. [Gen. Pope’s Ordek, June 3r>. “ Freedom of speech and of the press, educar t, >a, equality before the law, and in political r this and privileges, are the essentials of any s Uiefactory reconstruction in the South.” [ Gen. Pope’s Letter to Gen. Grant. BLOWING HOT AND COLD. The contradictions of Radicalism are stu pendous and unblushing. From day to day, we have had occasion to ridicule or explode the gigantic humbug in some one of its protean forms, and fear there will be no end of the mummery until the Man on Horseback, predicted by Caleb Cushing, shall thrust his sword into its dark re cesses and send the devii concealed behind the arras howling back to his native region of despair. The last agonies of inconsistency are found in conspicuous quarters. Whenever a big, round blunder is capable of being Inflated, it is safe to wager that Mr. Wade, the admirer of Mother Goose, and Mr. John W. Forney, the admirer of himself, are there or thereabout. This general rule holds goovi in the present-instance and we call attention to the examples presented. The Philadelphia Press, of a recent date, says editorially: “Tlie Southern forces under Lee and Beaure gard, Deaten and broken in fair and open con flici, nre everywhere accepting their late, and tome of their distinguished leaders ireely ad mit tnat the failure of the rebellion was the most fortunate thing that could have happened to the Southern people.” In the same number of the Press a speech of Mr. Wade’s is published with fulsome laudation. From the body of the harangue we extract as follows: “The rebel leaders show no signs of repent ance, but are ready to try again when opportu nity oilers, and the Congressional Committee Which investigated the temper and disposition of the South concluded that rebellion is as rile as it was at any time during tbe war.” Now, here is a perfect chasm of differ ence between Forney and Wade as to the tone and intentions of the late Confederate forces and their chiefs. Both can not be right and one of them is manifestly a falsi fier. It makes very little difference which is compelled to wear the cap and bells, and we leave it to some of their sweet-scented brethren in the South, on or off the Bench, to decide the awful question. Not satisfied with giving his friend For ney the lie and compelling him to print it, Mr. Wade, like a roaring crocodile, seeks fresh victims for his voracity and, for want of a better appetizer, stumbles upon and bites Beast Butler with cruel rapacity and relentless jaws. In a public speech at Portsmouth, Ohio, he said : “Now they talk of taxing these bonds. When a man talks that way look hint in the lace, and you look iu the face of a penitentiary bird. I would not trust such a man as that mmy sheep-pasture alter dark.” Almost at the very moment that old Ben jamin Wade spat this anathema from his lips, young Benjamin Butler, the “Adonis of fifty.” publicly declared in favor of “tax ing these bonds.” His words were these : “It would seem to be wisdom, iu the first place, to have all national securities taxed.” Wherefore, if Wade io to be trusted, Benjamin Butler is a “ penitentiary bird and a sheep-stealer.” Very few in the South will quarrel with this characteriza tion of the Beast; but, if the hero of Bethel has a sensitive spot in nis cuticle, his flesh must crawl and grow cold when such a man us Wade would not hesitate to pepper him with blue whistlers, if found strolling hard by the lamb fold. THE AMNESTY. In treating of the Amnesty proclamation, we stated that the President had, however tardily, performed a large share of work in the drama of proper restoration and it be hooved the people of the South to accom plish something for themselves. We ad vised some of the more conspicuous of the disfranchised to test their cases before the regular tribunals of justice aud, if success ful in their suit, that they and others should cl&.ai the privilege of registration. We further declared that any organized opposi tion to their registration or frauchisement would be revolutionary aud subject the of fenders to punishment. We had, at tin time, some doubt as to Executive interfer ence iu upholding the majesty of the judici ary, but that doubt is, to some extent, re moved by assurances of the National In telligencer which, seini-ofllcially, endorses the views we maintain and ventures a promise of no uncertain sound that protection will he granted at all hazards. The Intelligencer says: “ We have seen it suggested, in no quarter friendly to the administration, that the Presi dent intends to interfere, directly or indirectly, in the miserable farce of 1 registration ’ now going on at the South. His proclamation, in effect, pats all whom it embraces upon an equal footing with other citizens ot the United States —that is its legal effect, he believes—and if this he so, and the unconstitutional provision quoted is thereby nullified, it only 6hows his opponents to admit virtually, that not only it, but all other legislation of Congress setting at naught the constitutional powers of the Executive, were null and void from the beginning. The pro clamation may have the effect, and doubtless ■will, of bringing the question ot the constitu tionality of the main features of what is called the reconstruction laws before the legal tribu nals of the country. It places the great mass of the Southern people in an attitude to assert and maintain their rights andprivileges, and if, when finally passed upon by the Supreme Court, ob structions are still interposed by unauthorized agencies, military or otherwise revolutionary, it will again become the duty of the Executive to interfere and carry into effect, at every haz ard, the mandate of the judicial authority. And this, the country may rely upon, will be done to the letter.” The Difference. —When a negro offers himself for Congress, much to the discom fiture of the Loyal League, he generally begins his pronunciamento thus : “ I shall do all I can to ameliorate the condition of the whites.” When one of the Southern renegades at -ures to office, his record is tantamount to tl s avowal: “ I shall do all I can to at. •. -:te my own condition and brutif> ti --u »n :i u.y ee WANTED—A SULTAN. When sojorning in France, Abdul Aziz Ihan was horrified at the ball-room style ,f dress adopted by the creme de la creme of ashiouable female society. He did not— ie, the Grand Turk, the successor of Ma 30MET, who loved a hundred Ayebhas ancl fenced Paradise with black-eyed houris— ae did not comprehend how Christian wo men could be so immodest as to reveal cbe;r dimpled arms and voluptuous bosoms m the vulgar gaze and under the garish splendor of gasligiu. Quiet folks may see iu this rebuke a special providence, and be lieve that the Almighty prepared the way for this European tour of the Sultan’s, in order to unmask the sham civilization of the Western empires, and shame the daugh ters of the land through the lips of the owner of a harem. We do not know how a more stinging reproof could have been delivered, and we give a hint to Punch or Charivari, representing the Ottoman ruler blessing himself with Nile water, and thanking Allah that he is not a married or marriageable Christian. This example of Turkish delicacy and European frailty is pointed enough; but the special providence which permitted our Turk to be scandalized at the semi-nudity of the French, likewise vouchsafed that he suouid shame the Anglo-Saxon at home and abroad. The Primate of England dovetailed a gracious sermon at Maidstone thus: “You all know the Sultan has come here lately, the enemy, or supposed enemy of Chris i ainty. I was informed by the Prince ol Wales a lew days ago that, iu answer to an entreaty to b.in to protect his Christian subjects, the Sul tan’s unbwer was—and a most remarkable one— ‘ I will not only protect mv Christian subjects, but I will protect Christianity.’ I think that a ii.ost remarkable answer.” There! Think of that wild roysterer Wales, whose ancestors have had no mercy on their Christian subjects of Ireland, and who will, probably, help augment their misery—think of the worthy descendant of George the Fourth making such a prayer to Abdul Aziz Khan ! We agree with the holy Primate that the answer was remarka ble, but the deed that followed as soon as he trod upon the soil of his own dominions, exchanging a view of the glittering Bos phorus for the odoriferous Thames, was more remarkable than words. It was uni versal and immediate amnesty to Cretan rebels ” aud sending a Roman Catholic Giour as envoy to the United States. When Mr. Blacque startled the country by telling the President that there were features in common between the United States and Turkey, he told the truth. But he might have gone further and still been true. He might have joyously asserted that the so-called infidel at the head of affairs iu Constantinople was more of a Christian than his orthodox brethren at the head of affairs in Wash ington, and that a turban is a better symbol of refinement than a swallow-tail coat. The Christians of the South, the “ Rebels ” of the South want protection. In view of the diabolical oppression of the Puritan, we think a change to Mahoinme danism would be wholesome to Praise-God- Barebones and his tribe and wonderfully welcome to us. Colfax and the Sixteen Resolutions —Since Mr. Schuyler CpLFAx’s sixteen resolutions, in puffery of himself and de nunciation of Gen. Grant, disgusted every decent person iu the land, the “ available man from Indiana ” lias fouucl it convenient to shift the responsibility of their introduc tion upon some anonymous friend. The only guarantee for denial is the bare word of some anonymous correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette. That is a poor way of establishing innocence, for more venal and tricky sets of men do not exist than certain correspondents of certain Northern papers. Mr. Benjamin Wade made an agrarian | speech at Lawrence, Kansas ; and Mr. Ben ' j.vmin Wade denied it. But even the New York Times was compelled to stuff the de nial down his throat. Mayhap, Mr. Col • fax has jumped out of the bramble bush in the same way, to avoid a few cold facts. The Two Bruisers.—Philip Sheri dan and Mike McCool were almost si multaneous recipients of ovations at St. Louis. It seems, however, that McCool was more enthusiastically honored than his barn-burning Mend. He was greeted as the "Champion of America,” driven hither «. ad thither in a coach-and-four; a circus chariot, drawn by six grey horses, preceed ed him with a band of music ; he was wel comed in prose and verse, and did, what Sheridan could not do, he made a speech ana kept clear of Indians. This is the second insult of the kind re ceived by General Sheridan ; the first be ing a reception by the House of Representa t ves at Washington, when the said House Ljore vociferously entertained a clownish fellow yclept Petroleum V. Nasby. Apathy.—The Blue Republicans are seeking causes for their overthrow in Cali fornia and losses in Maine. “ Apathy ” is the last sensation of comfort. That’s as good as anything else. If Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio go Conservative by the same default, we will not quarrel with names or reasons. We have no doubt that apathy did prevail among many sincere Re publicans who were too hostile to Democ racy to vote for its triumph, and yet too in dignant at the corruption of their own cabal to vote for its perpetuity. And so— they sacrificed to the god Apathy, who is a very good divinity at this juncture when he befogs the enemies of the Constitution and the white man. The New York Papers.—The circula tion of the New York daily papers is stated thus: Herald, 81,000; Times, 35,000; Tri bune, 45,000: World, 20,000. Os the Herald, the editor-in-chief is John R. D. Putnam ; of the Times, in the absence of Mr. Ray mond, S. 8. Conant, who writes “ minor topics;” of the Tribune, Dr. George Rip ley ; of the World, D. G. Croly. A New Name.—ln view of the late elec dons and the consequent consternation of he Radicals, a correspondent of the Charles ton Mercury suggests that they have their party name changed from Black to Blue Republicans. We trust that the coming elections will beat them both black and blue. Radical Doxology. —■“ Lord! forgive us our trespasses; but damn those that tres pass against us.” For further information is to the theology of the Blue Republicans, ve refer the reader to Holy Willie’s Prayer, by Robert Burns. General Roger A. Pryor Certainly a Radical. —The Petersburg Index says: The General avows his opinions openly, Li there are in this city twenty respecta e witnesses to the tact that he has long . x endorsed the Congressional action in Six Per Cent, and Victory.— The New i ork Day Book says: “According to tables presented to the felbany Convention, it appears that the to ;al Mongrel vote in twenty-three States ast fall was 2,061,871. The Democratic 'Ote was 1,644,308. The Mongrel majority vas, therefore, 417,563. Half of these votes, »r 208,787, would have changed the entire esult of the election. That is to say, that i change of less than six per cent, in the iggregate vote would have put the Mon grels out of power. We commend these igures to those who suppose that the Xorth is wholly and hopelessly Abolition, ind that there is no use of making any ex ertion to save our country.” No Joke.—Hinton Rowan Helper, who did more than any other man to pro cure the abolition of slavery and precipi tate the war, was in Statesville, N. C., last week. The American says that he persisted in carrying out his principles, by refusing to allow a negro to drive him to Davidson College. . ' [From the National Intelligencer. A Coup D’Etat the Intention of the Radi cals- That the more reckless of the Radicals desired and expected that General Grant would usurp supreme power in respect to the ten States now under military rule, and precipitate a contest upon the point at Washington, is made clear by revelations from various sources. While the atrocities of these desperadoes in politics should be held up for public reprehension, and, we hope, public punishment iu some form suit able to the heinousness of their criminal intention, the meed of credit cannot be withheld from General Grant, of withstand ing all the malign influences that beset him from every side to practically essay a de struction of the Government. For nothing can be more certain than that two Execu tives at Washington can no more practi cally exist than that the Constitution and law recognize no such thing. The people cannot serve two masters ; therefore, had General Grant transcended the supreme law of the land, if not the terms of the law of Congress, as urged by the Radical des peradoes, the whole frame-work of the Gov ernment and of society would have been shaken by the conflicts of authority and powers that would have followed in a long er or shorter space of time, on greater or lesser questions as to the execution of the laws. As things are, the Radicals have steeped themselves in infamy by the suggestion and advocacy of a coup d’etat, while General Grant stands forth in this matter as a vin dicator of law and of the right. The po litical desperadoes, having been thus far foiled by tiie expressed patriotic seutimeuts of General Grant, have been making in sidious approaches in another quarter to procure some sort of a declaration or action which shall cause political disturbances, if not convulsion. Os this hereafter. Iu proof of our assertions as to the fell purpose of the Radical conspirators in the first instance, which, if effected, might, per haps, as quick have in its furious passion swept aside Congress and its authority as to have done any oilier thing, we copy from their presses, as follows: [From the Detroit, l’ost (Ua<l). By implication and intent, the law gives General Grant power to resist the President in precisely such a case as the present, but uot in direct terms. It places iu General Grant’s power the privilege of insubordina tion, if he chooses to accept the responsi bility ; but it still leaves a refusal to obey in the nature of insubordination. It tells the General that if a crisis shall arise such that you think best to disobey the Presi dent, the President shall be powerless to punish you, unless the Senate thinks you deserve punishment. In short, it furnishes an opportunity for the General, without imposing upon him a duty. For a bold, ambitious General, trained in political as well as military tactics, this law furnishes a splendid opportunity. Such a man, by refusing to obey the President’s recent orders, and planting himself upon this law, could practically have made him self master of the situation, and dictator over reconstruction during the recess of Congress ; and, in this, sure of the enthusi astic support of the people, and of the grati tude of Congress and the country. Such a general could have retained Sheridan and Sickles in place, and blocked the President’s whole game. Such a man General Grant is not. [From the N. Y. Tribune (Rad.) vVe want Grant to be with us, so essen tially with us, that we can lean upon his strong right arm. We believe his heart is right; but he has himself to dread more than any other influence. He has been too easy with the President, too good-natured, too anxious to please, and so has been j betrayed into false positions, to the detri ; ment of the general welfare. We regret that he has consented to the removal of General Sickles ; for there is an important principle involved in this case, quite as deeply as in that of Sheridan. If he has tha right to object to the removal of Sheri dan,xhe has the right to object to the re moval of Sickles, and all the other district commanders. This is no mere technical quarrel about the wording of an order. It is a conflict of fundamental principles. Congress has imposed upon the General of the army the responsibility of seeing that the reconstruction laws are faithfully executed in the spirit in which they were framed. General Grant cannot throw off that responsibility upon Mr. Johnson. It is not enough for him to place himself upon record as an enemy of the President’s policy. He has a strict duty to discharge toward the people who have confided to-him his high trust. It is time for him now to be stern. He should know that the Presi dent means war, and that he cannot escape a sublime responsibility. [From the New York Tribune. Now, if General Grant becomes con vinced that he was wrong in his attempt to resist the President, certainly it was manly and honest in him (as it would have been in any other man) to retract and amend his error; but we cannot re frain from saying that, even if he was wrong in the fijjpt place and right now, the whole proceeding exhibits in an un happy light the inadequacy of his judg ment in political ail’airs. All parties must agree that oue thing is clear—aud that is, either General Grant ought uot to have made a fight, or else he ought not to have made a surrender. Such a man as General Grant never figures well in taking a step backward. When, therefore, lie lately planted himself on “Section 5,” we expect ed him to “fight it out on that line, if it took all summer.” Perhaps, however, he will yet retrieve himself. Meanwhile the country wishes him not to snub, but to conquer the President. [From the Independent. We do not imagine that any circum stances can arise in which the President ntay not overrule General Grant. A rebel deputy marshal of the United States is more powerful to-day than the General of the army. 'I he removal of Sickles shows that. We think there is one move that would have ended the business. Suppose then, the President directed the military commanders practically to disobey Grant’s order, and make and unmake such regula tions as they pleased, the General had said to the President: “By command of the Con gress of the United Stales, in law plainly writ ten, 1 decline to have the powers expressly dele yated to me in any way amended, misconstrued or limited, and, therefore, respectfully refuse to issue an order which compels me to violate my duty /” What would have followed ? Grant would have done just what the country and Congress want, what the law in spirit directs, and what he can only be excused from doing on the plea that he ;s|a part of the Executive—a hand, finger or foot—and only amenable to Buch laws as the President permitted him to respect General Grant abandons not only his original interpretation of the law, but also ■he President’s interpretation of it last July and he now unites with the President in a different interpretation for August The ‘jleneral of the army thus presents to the rnblic the singular spectacle of having en ered upon a contest with the Executive with out a definite knowledge either of his own towers or of the President’s. He begins vith one understanding of these powers 1 ud ends with another. So that, in the ! * •*' ■ President, Gene tarn.'-, of compicriujj his an ,1 • /oais. conquered oyhim.
