Stick by the Old Land.

We have, on several occasions.
when the prospects for the people of
the South were very dark after the
close Of the war, and when Brazilian,
Venezuelan md Mexican emigration
societies We're urging the people of
the South to seek to better their for
tunes in those countries, uttered our
convictions that the better, and GER
tainly the most patriotic course, was
to stay at home and aid in the noble
work Of retrieving the losses the war
brought on the South. III this posi-
ton we were sustained by General
Hampton and other true Southerners.
We have now another evidence
that we were right. The Hon. Ro-
bert Toomts is now an exile in Ha-
vana, but Mrs. Toombs has recently
visited Georgia, and says that her
husbands advice to the young men
of the South is, that they remain at
iloulS, us NC COllSluoTSu CllC OOuUnGr0
States much preferable to Brazil,
Mexico, or Cuba. He very truly says
that their strength and energies are
particularly needed at this time to
rebuild the shattered fortunes of their
section. This, added to the fact that
their own country is just as good if
not better than the countries named
for making livelihood or compe-
tency, ought and doubles will decide
many, whose misfortunes prompted
them to think Of emigrating, to stay
at home.
Mr.. Toombs is wise, experienced
and patriotic gentleman, and one
having the welfare of the South at
heart. His words are those of wis
dom, and should be needed accord
ingly.

the course of his remarks, paid q

He concluded by saying that three

rlsts OF our State contended against
the constitutionality Of the statute,
and they W. replied to by the Dis

the matters of fact and law involved
IN the motion, it is ordered and al

this case, is repugnant to the Consti-
tuition of the United States. Motion

the writ. Henderson will, of course,
be discharged; and if guilty OF any
offence, will have to be tried in a
civil court These repeated decisions
of the President, that military officers
shall hold themselves subordinate to
the civil authorities, must eventually
convince the former that the day for
illegal arrests and arbitrary trials has

Surely, the Judges OF the Court

such was the case.

made public, to which We have re-
ferred, and now we have brought to

opinion with all the light we could
bring to the investigation, and if con
vinced that the decision was founded
upon sound paincipies, we would
eheerfully acquiesce, though, as we
believe, the consequence will be the
utter rIlin of the country; but if we
were not convinced, we would pre-
sent our reasons for differing from
the opinion, SO that the people might

I, The situatieh--yyhsst-i Is Needed. :
The Nationa1. .Lstelligc,sce,, 81 journAl
in the confidence of the President,
and which is remarkable for its con
servative tone and teachings, has an
articlefron which we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
''The question Of questions, Shall
the loyal Representatives and Sena-
tors from the South be admitted? is
as much before the Congress as it
was six months ago. : Not a step has
been taken as to admission 10y that
only body that has power in the
premises-Congress- It's recent ac-
ton, stimulating disposition to ad-
nit them by means of constitutional
amendments, is seen and felt on all
hands to be a mockery and delusion.
They are purposely drafted to pro-
cure their inevitable defeat North and
South.
"Yet, at the moment when the pre-
sence, in complete panoply, Of an as
sailing foe demands that the banners
shall be hung on the outward wall,
some watchmen give moro than an
uncertain sound. They cry all is
well, and ;Aat Congress and the Pre-
sident are SO little apart that recon
element is at hand. Under these
circumstances, were it not for the
high intelligence Of the American
people, the cause Of restoration of
States would be lost.
.. t'The President needs for friends in
his party, i'll position. in the press,
iron men, who have enlisted for the
war; who intend to go his way or no
way; to take not a step backward; to
hurl defiance at his enemies, and not
to parley with them; to fight them
with fire, and not seek to ingratiate
by base compliances.
''The disunion party of Congress
should be fought not the next week
or the next year, but now, and
straight on from this day and hour
under all forms and everywhere. In
vain, said great orator, after
these things, may we indulge the
fond hope Of peace and Cancellation.
There is no room to hope We must
fight >"
The second paragraph applies to
such doubtful supporters of the Pre-
sident's policy rs the New York Times,
which the MteNigence,' clearly demon
strates is not on the right track. The
Washington paper speaks as if it
meant something in thetwo concluding
paragraphs, and we regard them with
pleasure as very certain indication
that the President is still determined,
us he has frequently said before, that
he will take no step backward. I'm
der existing circumstances, we of the
South cannot DO much to aid the
President, but we can assure the H.
teAiye''ce'' that the whole people of
the South, excepting perhaps the
Brownlowites, and knaves OF that ilk,
are with the President, and that he
has their prayers and best wishes for
the ultimate success of his wise and
Just policy. And further, we may be
permitted to say that which we are
convinced is true, that if ever the op-
portunity should be given them, they
would evince their 'loyalty" to him
and the Constitution in any way fu-
tnrc emergencies may demand. AS
the MteAiyence,' intimates there is no
time for parleying, the radicals grow
fiercer every succeeding day, and, if
not defeated in some ruy, will drive
the country to ruin.

The Final Report.


The Final Report.
The final report of the Reconstruc-
ton Committee was made on Friday
last, and, Judging from full tele-
gsephic synopsis Of it, published in
the Richmond papers, it is more un-
just and more full of gross misrepre-
sentation than any document which
has previously emanated from the
same Central Directory. We will
notice one or two of the most glaring
and; fagi6ous. The Committee say:
tfFrom the whole mass Of testimo-
ny submitted by the President, it
appears that, in no instance, in the
Southern States, was any regard paid
to any other consideration than OBJ
tanning immediate admission to Con-
gress under the barren form of an
election, in which no precaution was
taken to secure regularity of proceed
ings, or the assent OF the people.
: And yet it is well known that the
members of the respective State Con-
ventions were elected by ''the peo-
pie, and that these Conventions or
dered the elections of members to
Congress, and, of course, that "the
people" elected the members who
are now asking for their rightful
places in Congress.
The report says, again:
Indeed, all feeling of Cancellation
on the part of the North has been
reated with contempt. The bitter
ness and defiance against the United
States has been unparalleled in the
history of the world, considering the
circumstances.
was there ever more monstrous
falsehood than this? No conciliatory
movement has been taken, no evi-
dence of desire to do justice to the
South has ever been treated with any
but respect and hearty reciprocation
by her people. They were rejoiced
at every proposition which looked to
the full restoration, and hailed with
pleasure any symptom, even the
least, of returning justice by the peo-
pie or politicians of the North.
The report, speaking of the South
ern people, again says:
'"The burden rests upon them, be-
fore claiming to be reinstated in their
former positions, to show that they
ought to resume their Federal rela-
tions. In order to do this, they must
prove that they have established, with
the consent of the people, a republi-
can form of Government in harmony
with the Constitution and laws of the
United States-that all hostile pur-
poses have ceased, and that they
have given adequate guarantees
against future treason and rebellion,
which will be satisfactory to the Go
vernment against which they have
rebeHed, and by whose army they
were subdued.
Everything mentioned in this para
graph as necessary to admit our mem
bers to Congress has been done fully
and completely, and every man not
blinded by party rage and fanatical
hate must see this. The whole docu-
ment, as represented. by the summary
referred to, is a tissue of false testi-
mony trumped up by the radicals in
their desperation and dying throes.

New HAMrsHIKE. The New Hamp-
shire Legislature convened yesterday.
The session is of superior interest, by
reason of the fact that United States
Senator is to he elected. Senator
Clarke, it is stated, bases his claim
for reelection especially upon his
alleged '~ity in getting Senator
Stockton ,pelled-a fact that is not
set down as creditnble to him by
jurists or the class Of superior men
who rank politicians in the public
estimate. The three Republican mem
bers of the House have been submis-
sive to the Stevens rod, to the end
that their chances might not be pre-
JUDGED with the negro element in
full standing in the Legislature.
There is handsome portion of the
Republican party in New Hampshire
that is ut heart with the President,
including some leading men. They
are, however, at loss rs to what
course to pursue by the shifting, if
not treacherous, policy Of the New
York Times, and one or two other PEE
tentious Journals that we could name
If it be q weakness on their part, it is
Il weakness that betrays like treason.
