A FRANK ADMIssIoN.-The New York
Times is more honest, or at least more candid
in its views with referen ce to the Military Re
construction Act than the vast majority of the
Radical organs all over the country. They
have the hardihood and shamefacedness to as
sert that the Act is not only not in conflict
with, but that it is authorized by, the Federal
Constitution. The Times refuses to stultify it.
self by any such prepOsterous or shameless de.
claration. 1t admits the manifest uncOnstitu-
tionaIity of the Act. while it avows the arbitra-
~ reason why it approves oft. It says:
1t was well said by wise political philOsO,
pher that ga good government, like a good
coat, is that which fits the body for which it
was designed" 1t is as absurd to decide upon
a measure of government by abstract princi-
pies, as it would be for tailor to cut his gar
ments after an ideal pattern, or measure the
Belvidere Apollo for the clothes of oil his Gus
TONER'S. 1t is just this common sense criteri-
on, and nothing else, that reconciles US to the
Military Reconstruction Bill. That piece. of
legislation theoretically was to the last degree
irregular and wrong. 1t violates every car
dinal principle of our Government, and is at
variance with the clearest letter of the COnsti-
tuition But it is found to fit this case nell.
That is enough. We take 1t without another
word.
