a Good Symptom,


The dispatch addressed by President
johnson to Governor Brownlow of Tennes-
see, charging him with the duty of exclud-
ing illegal voters from the polls, and author
izing him, if found necessary, to use militia
ry force, is strong proof that the Govern
ment will really execute the laws, and pur-
sue no halfway measure or dubious policy
with the men who have been engaged in re-
belion. As Governor Brownlow is the
regularly elected chief executive officer of
Tennessee, and the duty of enforcing the laws
in that State is one exclusively within his
province, unless he should see fit to ask aid
from the authorities at Washington, the
significance of the President dispatch be-
comes more apparent. 1t is in fact, dec
laration that the Government has not waiv-
ed its authority over the States that have
been in rebellion, and does not intend to
waive that authority until the whole civil
machinery shall be thoroughly established
in conSoAance with national ideas, and in
conformity with the laws and proclamations
which have grown out of the war

The Battle of Bull Run.

Friday last was the anniversary of the bat
tie of Bull Run. Four years of war on a
scale the world never before saw, have end
ed, and all our armies are going home. The
politician and statesman who does not un-
derstand what has been fough5 out, or what
is the verdict of the war, is cropping ir
wretched ignorance. So far from being a
safe leader of others, he is liable to fall into
bottomless pit any moment These four
years of fighting and suffering mean some
thing, ana he is pitable object, North or
South, white or black, who does not know
what.

Better Late than Never.

Our neighbor Goodlander, in his salutato-
~ to the readers of the Republican says:
About one year ago military necessi-
ty compelled us to vacate the editorial
chair. The country being ruled, by spies,
pimps, mobs and Provost Marshals and
this homogeneous mass being opposed to the
Constitutional privilege Of free speech"
and free press - we thought it best to
subside, until this class of things should be-
come extinct, and our rulers at Washington
conform with the oath they have taken"
This confession will, perhaps, be news
to the public generally, and if George hadn' t
told it himself, he might not have been sus-
pected of doing anything which would have
come under he cognizance of Provost Mar
shals, or others whose duty it was to pro-
tect the government against its enemies.
But as ''an open confession is good for the
soul, we trust George will receive the full
measure of benefit to which he may deem
himself entitled by such admissions.
