New-York tribune., 1867-05-27
THE OPINION or THE ATroRNEYGEXERAL


The opinion of the Attorney General upon
the clauses in the Reconstruction Acts respect
ing the rights TO vote and To hold Office,
which we print in full, has in itself evidence
of its necessity, for the questions which
have arisen need to be decided by the highest
executive authority. Five military commanders
might otherwise make five different interpreta-
tons of q law which needs to be uniformly
enforced in the States i'll which il is
operative. Whether Mr. Stansbery correctly
defines the limits of the law is another and
important question, not fully to be examined
at present
The Attorney General rectes the provisions
of the law which affect the right to vote and
hold Office, and attempts to define those
classes who are entitled TO registration the
qualifications of residence and age are compare
lively unimportant. OF chief interest is the extent
to which taking part in the Rebellion is q dis
qualification from voting. Mr.. Stansbery elab-
orately examines the meaning of the act which
excludes officers who have taken part in the
Rebellion, and decides that officers OF the
militia are not included that the act does not
apply To municipal officers, and that with all
those who are not strictly State, Judicial
OF Executive officers, the uncertain detini
ton, which he contends exists in the law,
must be construed III favor of the voter
vast body of officers, he asserts are not
positively excluded by the law. The disguali-
fcation based on the breaking of the oath
of Office is the next subject Of the opinion
which is given to this effect-that the disqualifi
cation is intended TO comprehend military as
well as civil officers, and to be more general in
application to United States officers than to
those of State OF more practical Importance
is the next question-what acts constitute the
guilt of engaging in rebellion, or of giving COM
fort or aid to the enemies of the limited SiatasY

The New School Presbyterian General As
sembly have unanimously adopted the report
of the Joint Committee of the Old School and
New School General Assemblies OH union of
the two bodies. This report, which we printed
few days ago in full, submits the plan pro-
posed by the Joint Committee to the two
Churches at large, leaving the Assemblies of
1868 at liberty TO take action upon il. The
New School Assembly continued its Commit
tee during the coming year, and
expressed an earnest desire for the cOnsumma-
ton of the Union. In the meantime. another
branch of the Presbyterian family, the General
Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church,
has passed resolutions favoring a union OF all
the Presbyterian bodies, and, for maturing this
plan, has called General Presbyterian Con-

The season is fully two weeks later tb,n m
average years, even as far away rs Texas. In
the North the continued rains have greatly re-
tagded planting, and very little corn in th,
corn regions Of the West bas been pat in. A
few days Of fair weather will mako a great
change, for by the help of cOrn-planters, and
sulkey cuItiyatOrs to prepare wet ground, an
immense area can suddenly be filled with corn.
Notwithstanding the vast number OF two-hOrsc
cOrn-planters in use, the demand on the manu-
facturcrs exceeds their ability 90 supply, though
they are running their shops with hundreds OF
hands, night and day OF course we owe this
great advantage-thc power 20 overcome highly
discouraging natural obstaelcs-to our invent

From the East to the West, aud from the
North TO the South, the universal testimony is
that the coming wheat crop never looked better,
and never was 50 large. The only drawback
il that seed was scarce and dear last
Fall this, IL, most OF the Southern, and an
some parts of the Northern States, prevented
great sowing. Rye does not require AZ
good land as wheat; indeed it will grow on
land SO poor that much exhausted soil is owing
TO this fact. Oats may be- expected to be
bonntful, though in some few localities rust
has appeared. The hay crop, owing to the
wet weather, must be large.
Thus far in the season we have no complaint
about cotton not having good stand, and we
think the prospects more favorable than in
any year since the war. The amount planted will
be very large-possibly as large as in any form
or wear. for the reason that MANY now work
New-York tribune., 1867-05-27

IL is rumored in Washington that the removal
of Gen. Sheridan from the command of the
Fifth Military District, and the appointment of
Gen. Thomas to the vacancy, is contemplated
by the President. OF Mr.. JohnsOn's many un-
popular actions this would not be the least, and
il would not only be unpopular, but, we believe,
unjust The removal Of Gen. Sheridan would
mean censure of that bold and resOlute admin
istration which has alone prevented reign Of
terror in Texas, lawlessness throughout LOuis-
ana, and the expulsion of Union men from
New Orleans. IL would mean that when he
turned Mayor Monroe out of Office, and gave to
loyal men the control of the city government,
he did what the President disapprOves. 1T could
mean nothing else; for that any important act
of SheridaD's is unknown TO the public is not
to be presumed, and it follows that his removal
would be based upon his official and open
measures We have lad much talk of such q
step on the part of the President, but scarcely
believe that it has been seriously considered.
Cen Sheridan has done no more tlsn his duty.
New-York tribune., 1867-05-27

AS these acts arc defined the number of voters
is 10 be restricted or enlarged. MIR. Stansbery
advances the extraordinary opinion, that the
phrase "encmics of the United States should
be strictly confined to what hc asserts 10
be its legal meaning. wiz foreign
nations and that only such 10 those who gave
aid and comfort IN Great Britain in 1912, and
TO Mexico in f9i7, should be DISTINGUISHED
under the clause. Yc5 he Ia mot quite prepared
to say that Congress may not have used IL a9
"appcabIo TO tho rebellion" 1t ls well tllat
he was not quito prepared to make such de-
ci.ion, for if there s anything clear and un-
mistakablc in the law, it Is that Congress
meant absolutely the enemies OF the unlted
States who fought at Gettysburg ana At
lanta. and not by any means those VINO
were defeated forty years ago On the Lakes
or at Monterey and Bucna Vista. This mean
ing cannot be escaped. and the Attorney -Ucn-
cral, therefore, gives 1t weight IL
Will be seen chat he would not include IN
the dsfranchiscd classes those VINO
were compelled to aid in Rebellion,
conscripts, slaves, and officers who. in obedl-
cnce to de facto government, were concerned
with the administration of law. Purely civil
ana necessary Objects nc tdHHoe "i'"o "'''
self to believe were meant by Con
gress, and upon this point the
argument is very full. We can
not say that the Attorney General has
tated his opinion very emphatically, or tcrseiy,
though for this he may plead the al
legged uncertainty and yagueness OF the
acts themselves. But the drift OF his
argument may be summed up to be-
in his own words: "Thc intent (of the acts)
8" as expressed, is to enable the people OF each
" of these States TO frame a Constitution for
" the State by the exercise of the right OF
suffrage There are clauses OF the
"act giving the right by general terms OF
description to the people generally,
"and especially to those who have never
"cnioycd the right before There are other
''clauscs of the act which. by general terms,
take away this right of suffrage from those
"who have always enjoyed it. The rule OF
construction as to the clauses which
"gvc the right must bo liberal. and
"to them the general terms are not to
"be restricted, but to those clauses which
"dcrogate from the existing right the
" rule of construction must be strict that none
should be excluded who are not clearly
"within the letter and intent With this
general construction we are satisfied Dut not
with the special opinions based upon 1t.
