Rights of States and of the United
States,

The "sacred rights Of States "rhre constantly
pleaded by those who haze steadily excused the
rebellion aud denounced the Government, as il any
State where rebellion ls been suppressed by force
of arms had any righfs whatever but such as the
National Government chooses TO recognize. 1t is
upon this principle that the President proceeds in
appointing provisional Governors and directing n
foi m of State goyernmensto be submitted to Con
sress for its approval.
This principle is recognized BY many of the most
recalctrant Of the late rebels. Thus the Rich
mond Tmes, speaking Of 'he resolutions Of '95 and
of Madison and Jefferson. saws:
"1n the present condition OF their native State
they would haye recognized that necessity knows
40 law They would have agreed with us that in
times like these there is no royal. time honor cd
road to reconstruction, nicely mlcadirlized fenced
in and mapped OF in accordance with 4 Sc. of prin
ciples and resolutions intended for the manage
ment Of the machine of civil government, when
moving on the regular old consti, dtonal track"
And even the New York Herald, which has no
opinions or convictions, bG: which merely echoes
the current sentiment OF tie street, can not escape
.he inevitable tru h. ani is obliged to say:
"The members OF all these recoDstructing Con
ventions and Legislatures should remember, that
their work is eAperimental, not conclusive; that
the Presidest's instructions and wishes upon the
businSss before them are the only existing laws
for their guidance; that the war has invested him
with the authority which he exercises"
This is the principle upon which Congress will
settle The question of reor aanization. 1t viii not
be the sacred rights of rebels and re5eous States
but Of loyal men and the usioD, which will deter.
mine the m ,tter. In the present circumstances of
the country there is no risss in late rebel State
which can control the actisp of the Dation.-IiGrp

The battle of Bull RIM was fought OH the 81 81
