POSTPONED.

The Senate has postponed the Tariff
bill until December A Washington dis
patch of yesterday says The postpone
ment Of the Tariff bill until December
next, which took place ia the Senate to-
day, was not wholly unexpected The
debate on it was spirited and elaborate,
but the speeches of the Western Sena-

day. The friends of the bill charge its
defeat on what they are pleased 10. term

Failure of Another of General Buffers
Schemes.

When Gen. Butler got possession of
New Orleans, one of his first acts was to
demand from citizens who had subscribed
to the Confederate loan an equal contri-
button to the treasury of the United
States. How much he actually collected
he has never made public; but as New
Orleans had contributed fifteen millions
to the Confederate loan, the amount ia
ken by Gen. Butler under this levy must
have been large There was no law and
no rule of civilized warfare authorizing
it; and, in fact, nothing but Buffers
sovereign will and pleasure to back it up.
The consequence is that the citizens
who were thus robbed have petitioned
the War Department for the return of
their money, and Secretary Stanton has
decided that their demand is Just, and
that the money must be repaid. He has
promised the claimants that their claim
shall be audited, and referred to Con-
gress for special appropriation. Per-
haps Congress may be slow to act in the
case, but it will no doubt be eventually
paid The case is instructive, as showing
that bold acts of lawlessness, though
they may be thoughtlessly applauded at
the time, are pretty certain to return to
plague their inventors, and to be correct
ly estimated at last.

GEN. GRANTS ORDER.

The order of Gen. GRANT is as fol
lows:
Department, District and Post Com
manders in States lately in rebellion are
hereby directed to arrest al persons who
have been or may hereafter be charged
with commission, Of crimes and offenses
against officers, agents, citizens and in
habitants of the United States, irrespec-
tive of color, in cases where the civil
authorities have failed to bring such par
ties TO trial, and to Getain them in mill
tary confinement until such time as a
proper judicial tribunal may be ready
and willing to try them. A strict and
prompt enforcement Of this order is re-
CURED.
1t appears utterlyeuseless to hope for
restoration of Civil authority in the
South so long as this order is in exist
ance. There is not more crime in the
South than in the North There is no
more certainty of punishment, and yet
the people ofthe South are to be arrested
by the military and detained in prison
until the courts shall consent to try them
The courts are the judges of infractions
of the laws, and cannot execute what is
not law. The military, under this order
are constituted judges OF infractions of
the civil law This question arises: If
the courts do not try persons arrested
by the military, what is TO be done
with them Will they be liberated, or
will they be tried by Military Commits
sions2 These have been declaied by the
Supreme Court to have no jurisdiction
over a citizen, in time of peace. 1t
would seem, then, that all persons thus
arrested and not tried by the civil tribu-
mails, will be subjected TO indefinite im-
prisonment There is no reason to
doubt that the order is issued with the
consent of the President Without that
consent, it could be construed to mean
nothing less than flank movement on
his policy. This is entirely improbable.
At all events, troops are on the move
TO different points in the South TO carry
out the order

THE NEW CONFLICT.

There are many persons who will
agree with the editor of the Peoria
Democrat when he says: When the late
President and the present Secretary of
State used to talk about the " irrepressi-
bic conflict It is doubtful if they under
stood the words in their full and bloody
import, any more than those did who
talked of peaeeable secession" That
conflict, which many hoped had
ceased with the abolition Of negro
slavery, and which they foohshly be-
lieved would find its elimination in a
mere'wa of ideas, bids fair to find its
results in bloodshed and war of races.

THE NATIONAL ISSUE.

The purpose of the Radicals in the
impending canvass clearly is to win the

Federal discharged soldiers against the
Southern people II is believed by them

the Democrats, Conservatives and Cop
perheads must encounter defeat, and the
Radical party be Kept in power in tie
National and State Governments. To
this end, the people of the South are
styled rebels, and treated generally as
hostile people. The, issue is simple and
plain, Shall the Southern States take
their places in the Union, or
shall they be kept out Of it,
and held by the Government as
conquered provinces? The Radicals
take the last position. The North is TO
determine BY the next. election, this mo-
mentons question The Conservatives,
under the lead of the President, advocate
an CELEBRATION of the animosities pro-
dueed by the war, the return Of ma
tional amity and the reunion of the

Northern and Southern states They de-
mand perpetuation Of the war policy.

tration will be the triumph of the rebell-

tyranny and general disunion The
South, once having rebelled, has sinned
unto death, and the Radical party of the
North is appointed by Divine Provi-
dence to be its executioner This mean
and covardly policy is dictated by two
motives-the thirst for power and the
love of vengeance. If the soldiers who
oyercame the South can be impressed
with the belief that the Southern people
are still hostile in feeling, their resent
ments will be rescued from oblivion and
their support secured. This is the char
