three thousand millions Of dollars and

Of four years to maintain its existence
will hardly surrender ct the summons
Of . syllogism. The reply when tne
country made to the President. the Bee
rotary OF State, the Democratic party,
and the late rebels, was very simple. II
was this: We have fought to maintain
the Union; we have succeeded; there
fore we shall do what h necessary 70
secure the Union from . similar peril
hereafter.
That was the meaning Of the elections
and Of the Reconstruction bill. The
difference between the President and
his supporter on the one side, and the
loyal American people upon the other,
n lust this: the first see In the result the
destruction Of the Constitution and the
end Of civil liberty; the second see In It
the salvation Of the Constitution ana
the beginning Of civil liberty.

The Result.

The execution of the Reconstruction
bill was regarded as a test of the Presi-
dents disposition. 1t was felt that if
he promptly executed it in its own spirit,
the public mind would be softened. II
he evaded it, or was satisfied with q
mere technical execution, the desire Of
his removal would greatly stimulate the
friends OF impeachment. 1t Is but fair
to say that his course has been wise.
Upon consultation with General Grant
he has appointed Military District Com
manders OF whose experience aud SYM
Hathy with the national purpose there
can he no question. 1t was supposed
that the President might name certain
Ollie. 70 like Generals Granger aud Gus
tar, VIII, have been most unpleasantly
identified with his policy but the selec-
ton of Thomas, Sheridan, Schofield,
Sickles, and Or.t is sincere Difference
to public opinion. They are men who
will execute faithful! y the provisions of
the bill.
Congress has been engaged in remov-
ing the difficulty which We suggested
upon the passage of the bill-i,,s failure
to define precisely the method Of it, own
execution. The Supplementary ill
provides that the military commanders
shall register all voters qualified by the
act. There shall then be an election to
determine if a Constitutional Conven-
ton shall be held. At this election a
majority of the registered electors must
vote; aud if a majority Of those voting
declare for q Convention, it shall be held
agreeably to the act. The Convention,
having adopted O Constitution, must
submit it to the people for ratification !;
aud il majority of the registered voters
OF the State approve it, the President Of
the Convention must forward COPY to
the President of the United States. who
must Immediately lay it before Congress
II Congress approves it, the State will
resume its representation in Congress.
Thus the great principle is definitely
settled that state which rises In re-
bellion against the Union can be restor-
ed to its position in the Union only upon
Congress shall determine That is the
obvious common-sense of the situation.
while the theory Of the continuous
right Of States, as expounded by Alex
ander II. Stephens, and held by the
Democratic party, Is rejected ~ no less
foolish and untenable than the Demo
cratic sophistries Of State sovereignty
and the doctrine that the Constitution
was a conditional compact instead of q
national bond.
The result shows the superiority Of the
general popular instinct to technical
chicancry. 1t Is the vindication Of the
spirit against the letter. Ever since the
surrender OF the rebel armies the coun-
try has been confronted with a sophist-
ical syllogism, which the President has
repeated in every form, and which the
Secretary Of State has gravely offered az
great political truth. The syllogism
was this: The war was for the Union
the Union has been maintained; there.
fore every State IL equal with every
other state. Now politics are extremely
practical. A nation which has spent

leKe.


Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania has made
an Intellectual effort to introduce into
the House Of Representatives q bill de-
claring illegal the use Of ranking stamps
by members OF Congress. Some Of our
readers may not know to what perfec-
ton the ranking swindle has been
brought. A Senator or Representative
is no longer obliged to write the talis-
manic name which entities him to
send trash all over the country without
money and without price. He has oDly
to get stamp, and ;s.is clerk, his wife,
or his little boy, may impress 1t upon
anything they please. So honorable
members from the distant East or the
golden shores of the Pacific, may send
their soiled linen home to be washed
without even the manual labor of putting
their autographs upon it. Legislators
may dispatch in single hour bushels
Of speeches which they never delivered,
and tons of the invaluable reports of Mr..
Commissioner Isaac Newton. Or take
q case to which we called attention the
other day. Mr.. LIE Blond Of Ohio re-
tired into private life at the close of the
XXXIXth Congress, but his right to
frank letters lasts until next December /;
and 30 his stamp Is now used for posting
lottery circulars, issued by firm who
have been publicly denounced as swim,
dlers; and we know not To what other
base uses II may have come. Obscene
publications, 1t is said are also flooding
the mails under the protection Of the
members stamps. Mr.. Randall was
