The Freedom of the Press.

In all countries, the people gene
rally support the freedom of the
press, and no matter however de-
spotic tie Government may be, the
press, in q conflict with the civil
authorities, in nine cases out of ten,
eventually comes out triumphant.
We have q noteworthy instance of
this, which has recently transpired at
the capital of the French Empire.
On the 9Th ultimo, Nj. DeGerardin,
the chief editor of the journal La
Li6erte, published an article severely
rejecting on the French Government
for its course in regard to the Duchy
Of Luxembourg. The sale Of the
paper on the street was at once pro-
hibited, and the following day the
sale went down from 29, 60Oto 27, 100;
but, the next day, the number of
copies sold was over 10000.
On the day after the street sale of
La Liberte had been prohibited, the
editor published an article headed,
"What it Costs to Tell the Truth, -
/ referring to the costs of his own trial.
In the course OF his remarks, NJ.
DeGerardin said that "if you tell q
sovereign how he might be great, he
will treat you as Louis XIV treated
Vauban, or Louis XVI Turgot-he
will say you are perverse or charlatan.
But tell him he has never committed
a single fault, and he will overwhelm
you with favors and repose in you
his entire confidence" For these
words, the Government has COM
menced fresh actions against La
LiJerte.
The freedom of the press is the
bulwark of liberty-that is, the legi-
innate freedom, not the licentious-
ness which journalists sometimes in
dulge in. The press of a country
should be its great lever Of conserva-
tism in maintaining, to the extent of
its influence, good government, law
and order, rs well rs in denouncing
crime and upholding virtue. Fear or
favor, punishment or reward, should
not operate upon the conscientious
discharge of the duties of q public
journalist; while, on the other hand,
if he transcends the limits that the

Spread OF Generalization.

The peculiar condition of affairs in
the Southern States is evidently bring
ing bad men forward, and making
them bold in their operations. We
extract the following paragraph from
the Montgomery Advertiser, which
was part of private letter received
in that city from Selma. AS the Ad-
certiser says, good many of the men
who are now thrusting themselves to
the front, in the peculiar condition
of the South, will bear watching.
The extract of the letter reads:
"An order has just been shown
here, purporting to be issued by
Mnior-General Swayne, dated at
Montgomery, and prohibiting the
holding of the circuit court of Greene
County. The Judge was, in conse-
quence, compelled to adjourn court
from day to day until he could learn
from the General whether or not the
order was genuine. George Gold
thwaite, Esq, was on his way to
Montgomery to look into the matter,
and, fortunately, met Gen. Swayne in
Selma, who, the moment he saw the
order, pronounced it spurious, and
not emanating from him."
General Swayne has returned to
this city, and, we learn, while at
Selma, sent tho order back to Greene
County by Captain Goldthwaite, with
the endorsement that it was palpa-
BILE forgery.
What the object of such forgery
could be, we cannot divine, but it
exhibits boldness in rascality that,
we should think, must elicit strict
investigation from the military au-
thorities Of Alabama. Well may the
Advertiser ask what is the country
coming to, when the evil disposition
of some men go to such extreme
lengths as to forge military orders to
suspend the courts of the country.
Decentralization and vice are spread
ing all over the country, and will
soon ripen into crime and out.
rage, unless speedily and summarily
checked. We regret to see this con.
dition of affairs at the South, wher
all should feel the necessity of aid
ing, by morality and industry, to re
store her to her former standard, from
any decentralization that might have
naturally followed protracted war
Such conduct rs the above should be
reprobated by every good citizen, as
1t gives occasion. to an evil reputa
tion, for which the people of the
South do not. and never did give, any
just cause.

ANcHIsEs1ENT-THE ATToR-
NEY-GENERAL's OPINION. spe-
cial correspondent of the Baltimore
San, of Tuesday, says:
Attorney General Stanberry has
been. closely engaged to-day in the
preparation of his opinion upon the
Acknowledgement under the recon-
struction laws, and it will be COM
pleted and read at the cabinet meet
ing, tomorrow. The opinion was
called for by General Grant, who
apprehended that difficulties might
arise from a lack of concurrence of
Judgment among the commanders of
the five districts, and others, who are
to be entrusted with the construction
of the law in its application to regis
tration and voting at elections. The
Immediate suggestion of the Attor-
ney-GeneraFs opinion was, however,
Gen. Sheridan's threatened removal
of Governors Wells and Throckmor-
ton.

decision of Gen. Sheridan, excluding

dispatches Oh Sunday:
HEADQUARTERS FIRST DISTRICT,
STATE OF VIRGINIA,
RICHMOND, Va, April27, 1867.
1N'. Charles H. Wynne, Proprietor of
the RichmondTimeS, Richmond, IA.
SIR: The Commanding General
directs me to call your attention to
an editorial article in the Richmond
Times, of this morning, headed ga
Black Mans Party in Virginia" and
to say TINT, while he desires not only
to permit, but to encourage the ut
most freedom of discussion of poll
tical questions, the character of the
article referred to calls for severe
censure. Especially the following
words: cit is a proposition which
implies that they are ready to grasp
the blood-stained hands of the
authors of our ruin, are IN intoler-
able insult to all soldiers of the
United States army, and no less so
to oil true soldiers of the late Con-
federate army, rs they have, long
since, extended to each other the
cordial hand of friendship, and
pledged their united efforts to re-
store peace and harmony our whole
country.
The efforts of your paper to
foster enmity, create disorder and
lead to violence, can no longer be
tolerated. 1t is hoped this warming
will be sufficient. Very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
S. r. CHAPLIN,
Assistant Adjutant- General.
To this the editor of the Times
replies, saying that the term "blood-
stained was used fguratively and
not as applying to the soldiers of the
United States army, but to the radi-
cal orators, now visiting the South.
The TURN OF THE TIDE.-A we'll
informed writer, who occupies ia
vorable standpoint for observation,
says:
ga political calm has begun to pre-
vail over the whole North. The radi-
Gals have exhausted all their means
of agitation, and, as party, they
are losing ground. If they cannot
advance, they must fall back. Late
elections in Chicago and various
other places show that the radicals
cannot bring their old columns to the
polls. New issues will soon arise
upon which parties will divide. The
old ones are already nearly out of
sight. After the reorganization of
the ten Southern States and their
representation in Congress, ma.
tional policy cannot be maintained in

THE PRESIDENTS SOUTHERN VISIT.
The Washington Union has the
following remarks on the Presidents
contemplated visit to the South.
Would it not be well for the city au-
thorities and people of Columbia, to
extend an invitation to Mr. johnson,
to visit this city. We feel sure that
such action would meet the genera!
approval of our citizens:
President johnson has, we under
stand, accepted an invitation.to visit
Raleigh, North Carolina, about the
middle of next month. Raleigh is
intimately associated with the youth
full life of Andrew Johnson, and the
invitation came from old personal
friends. There is also a special oc.
casion for the visit. The long un
known grave of his father has been
discovered, and the President is to
be witness of the erection of
n monument with which it is to be
adorned. He will be accompanied.
we understand, by Mr.. Seward, and
one or two others of his Cabinet.
He will take Richmond in his way.
and after leaving Raleigh, will visit
other Southern towns; and it is pro.
bable that he will occasionally ad-
dress the people who may assemble to
greet him. The utterances of the
President of the United States upon
political topics are always of great
Importance, and the President will
not fail to give his views upon the
vital questions of the hour.
Another opportunity will be given
the agitators of the radical party to
revilo tho President, and to organize
noisy demonstrations against him at
every railroad station ut which they
can gather n turbulent crowd. It
will not be forgotten that the violent
scenes in the West last year, pre-
concerted and promoted by Governor
Morton, and other reckless radicals,
more than once assumed the shape
of riots. If the radical disturbers
of order should feel themselves incit-
ed to like acts of heroism on the visit
of the President, we hope they will
be made to feel some of the disci-
pline they have introduced into the
North. The reconstruction Gene
raj, in whose territory radical mob
may be tempted to any excesses,
will, without doubt, be able to make
ample military provision to preserve
order

CHINESE RoBBERs.-A few months ago a
Chinaman entered the store of VIM. Kesler,
at Whiskytown, and robbed the till of seven
hundred dollars, with which he succeeded IN
making his escape. His success in this little
financial operation evidently encouraged some
of his moon eyed brethren to try their luck
in the same quarter, and last Monday even
ing the experiment was repeated. 1t appears
that Kesler had closed the store door, with
out locking it, and started to supper, but
after going a short distance he observed
couple of Cinnamon running from the store,
and at the same time noticed the reflection OF
light. which he had left burning on the
counter, shining through the open doorway
He thereupon gave an alarm, and a number
of persons started in pursuit of the China
men, and succeeded in capturing them In
a cabin a short distance out of town. The
fugitives were found with their blankets roll
ed up and everything ready for fast travelling.
On being searched, several hundred dollars
were found in the pockets of one. The blan-
an opium can was found containing several
hundred dollars more. But the till was
known to contain six hundred dollars, and
the amount found fell short of that sum. The
cabin was then re-searched, and the balance
of the money, together with the safe key and
several other articles recognized as belonging
to Kesler. were finally discovered hid away
in an old lard can. After these articles were
found proposition was made to punish the
thieves by whipping, and cutting off their
"cues" but it was finally decided to bring
them here and surrender them into the hands
of the authorities. They were accordingly
committed to Jail to await the action of the
Grand Jury.
