REPUBLICAN WAR PLEDGES.

About q year after the caving in of the
late rebellion, some astute logician CON
ceiyed the brilliant idea that the Repub-
lican party had given pledges-to whom not
stated-but at any rate had promised some
body that in case the rebels would lay down
their arms they should enjoy certain advan-
tages, among which were State rights, am
nesty, and the Union as it was" Even
President johnson has taken the trouble to
copy some resolutions which were passed
by the, senate in one shape and by the
house Of representatives in another, but
which, not being passed in a constitutional
manner, were never sent to President Lin
coin for his approval
None of these expressions of opinion or
resolutions can be regarded as binding
pledge, because they were not accepted by
the Southern rebels. On the contrary they
were used by the newspapers and stump
orators of the South as evidences Of the
weakness of the Union cause. The people,
already taxed almost beyond endurance to
supply the depleted armies with troops and
the commissary department with provisions,
were urged by JET Davis and his satellites
to put forth one grand, united, vigorous
effort, and the North would yield. The only
pledge the North made during the whole war
that had any influence in closing up
the contest was the pledge ofmen and money
enough TO command success. That is the
only promise the Republican party ever
made that the rebels accepted; and they did
that only after our brave troops had shook
the muskets and knapsacks off the backs
and shoulders of rebel soldiers. There was
really no communication between the United
States government and the vigilance COM
mittee set up by JEFF Davis in Richmond.
The people Of the North conquered peace,
and wrung from Lee, Johnston, and others
an unconditional surrender. There was not
a single pledge made by General Grant that
could be construed to apply to any man
not on the battlefield at Appomattox
courthouse. We do not know how many
were there. The rebels have made estimates
on the subject which vary from seven thou.
sand to about sixty-fve thousand. But sup
pose the whole army of northern Virginia
comprised the higher number, 1t would by
no means follow that immunity from present
punishment For these could be extended to
the eight or ten millions of enemies (see
rebel speeches of three years ago for popu-
lation statistics) who were not on the rolls
of Lees army. There is no pledge, promise,
or offer to compromise made by the Repub-
lican party prior to the great tumble that
began on the 9th of April, 1855 that sur
vived the day it was made, except the pledge
to conquer the rebellion and save the
Union. The former has been accomplished
and the same forces are now engaged in
taking measures to complete the latter.

WANTS OF THE SOUTH,

l. Do you want to get rid of martial
law. SO repulsive TO every American-born
citizen, and dangerous to the liberties Of the
people Then vote with the Republican
party and send tried Union men TO Congress
next winter, and your wishes will be &C.
complished.
2. Do you want TO see commerce. trade,
manufactures, and agriculture revive and
flourish all over this broad and beautiful
land Of the South Then vote with the Re
publican party and all these and more bless
ings will be the result. Your now desolated
fields and waste places will be repeopled as
by magic with hardy and Industrious race
Of men from every quarter Of the globe in
very few years.
Q. Do you want TO reclaim the millions OF
acres of the finest lands that ''e'er the sun
shone on" west of the Mississippi and save
the millions you have already invested in
their improvement and your leyees rebuilt
and maintained forever, Then vote with
the Republican party. They alone can do
this.
4. Do you want education and Chris.
tianity more widely ditfused throughout the
South. and the school-house and the
church to crown the top Of every hill,
and nestle in every lonely valley Of your
favored land Then vote with the Repub-
lican party, and your Wishes win be graft
fed, for this party Is for progress in all
that elevates the condition Of man, and
believes In the true doctrine of moulding
our institutions and constitutions, TO
meet the demands Of the age.
8. And, finally, do you you want To see
this Union restored TO ell its pristine

the authority of the laws the war is not
to be ended till the rebels lay down their
arms slavery is to be extirpated the
soldiers OF the Union are to be honored ;

Pacific railroads are TO be built; the pub
lie debt is to be kept sacred, and the Mon
roe doctrine is to be maintained. We do
not doubt that the Blanket, and all its
kindred spirits. heartily hate every one of
these principles, but they will not dare to
say so.
These We're the principles that the result
of the war caused to triumph; these are the
doctrines to which General Longstreet now
assents, and what the Blanket dare not de-
nounce. Secretly it hates them-openly it
dare not say a word against them. Neither
does it venture to attack the additional Re
publican principle of universal suffrage
that will be incorporated in the Republican
creed when the next national convention
assemblies. 1t hates it also-but the game
of deception that it is playing will not per-
nit it to say so. 1t did not see the trap
into which it fell when it attempted to de-
nounce General Longstreet. 1t dare not
openly declare its opposition to Republican
principles. neither does it venture openly
to avow its own. 1t is only when its anger
gets the better OF its discretion that the
truth peeps out from under the Blankets
covering. There is not an anti-Repub-
lican journal in the South to-day that will
fairly avow the ends at which it aims by
opposing the Republican party. They
will all regret that the Blanket should be
so indiscreet as to disclose the secret they
keep so jealousy. There is no party in
the country but the Republican party but
there is faction of men North and South,
who secretly cherish hopes they dare not
avow, and who think that the war did not
settle the principle that perfect political
equality was henceforth to prevail in the
United States. General Longstreet thinks
this principle was settled and that every
one should yield to it. The Btanitet thinks
the very contrary. Which is right?

THE QUESTION OF DUTIES ILLEGALLY

In connection with the recent movement

to compel the payment of customs duties
alleged to have been paid to the Confed.
crates, the following decision Of the supreme
court of the United States, rendered in 1919,
has been Published. We can hardly see
parallel in the two cases. The customhouse
at Castine, Maine, was taken possession of
by the British officers under the authority
of king against whom the United States
Congress had declared war. The New Or.
leans customhouse was seized by an unlaw.
full assemblage of citizens OF the United
States, many Of whom have since registered
themselves as voters without taking out
naturalization papers. which they certainly
ought to have done n they ever have been
foreigners or enemies Of the Unites States.
The arm at Castine paid the money to the
British officers under protest, and reluc-

THE REMOVAL OF GOVERNOR WRLLs The
special Washington correspondent of the
New York He'ald sends to that paper the
following gossip about the action of General
Sheridan In removing Governor Wells. We
do not attach much importance to the con.
lectures Of the Washington dispatch writer,
but publish them as we find theh:
General Sheridan is believed to be guilty
of disobedience of orders In removing Gov
ernor Wells after having received the dis
patch from Secretary Stanton, directing him
to suspend all further action In the case
the levec commissioners. II Is reported
that General Grant and Mr.. Stanton had an
interview to-day, in which Grant favored
reprimanding Sheridan but not removing
him.
ON the other hand we find the following
In the late northern papers;
A special Washington dispatch says The
story going In some parts that General Grant
and Secretary Stanton have been In consul
tation about matters, and that Grant advises
the rSpriflanding Of Sheridan Is pure fiction.
Grant went TO West Point Monday, and
only returned this afternoon. What his
views are may perhaps be inferred from the
fact that st headquarters Sheridan's action
& heartily Endorsed. Meantime the attorney
general Is still considering whether under
the reconstruction act military command

RESTORATION OF LOYAL JUDGES IN TEXAS
The following order issued by General Sher.
idan yesterday, comes quite up to the stand.
ard the loyal people of the nation expected
him to attain. 1t will be read with delight
by the residents of the district to which it
applies. General Griffin will no doubt see
that it is promptly enforced
In June, 1866, Judges Thomas II. Stribling
and w. z. Bacon, strong Union men, were
elected judges of the fourth and eleventh
judicial districts in western Texas by large
majorities. The legislature of the State
atterward passed an act approved October
IL, 1866, to take effect December 3lst, 1865,
abolishing the fourth and eleventh judicial
districts of the State by consolidation with
other districts, thereby creating districts of
such extent as to make it impossible to
administer justice within them through the
courts. The sole object of this act, as pub
licly stated by its advocates, having been
to get rid of the before mentioned Judges
on account of their political opinions, re.
CARELESS of the public interests or wishes,
said act viii be considered as null and void,
and the numbers and boundaries of these
judicial districts as they existed before the
passage OF the act, restored. Judges Thomas
h. Stribling and w. p. Bacon will resume
the duties of judges of the districts to which
they were respectively elected

THE CITY SURVEYORS DEPARTMENT.

This important department Of the city
government is one of those things that de-
mand Immediate attention by the proper
powers. The draining machines are silent
and still. So far as We can learn noAe of
them have been running with any regu
larity for months, and latterly all connected
with them appear to be off on grand holi-
day. Were it not for the regularity with
which all hands draw their pay, from the
surveyor down no one would suppose that
the department was any longer in existence.
The canals and bitches in the rear of
the city are recking with decaying
animal and vegetable matter; the water
that runs down the streets is suffered to
eVaporate and leave the channels filed with
sediment. When it is known that the city
pays nearly million OF dollars year to
have this work performed, the question is a
very natural one why is it not done?
This is the very season of the year when
the seeds of disease are sown to ripen in
August and September, and experience has
amply shown that nothing short of the
most energetic and faithful efforts can avert
it, If we have an epidemic this year it will
be our own fault.
