What Shall be Done with Factions
Rebels?

The letter of General Pope, the
Reconstruction commander in Geor-
gia and Alabama, to General GRANT
on the conduct of the rebel Senator
HILL and others, is attracting general
attention.. 1t presents with much
force the question, what should be
done with these leading rebel gene.
rails, and politicians, who have re-
-ceived the amnesty of the Govern
ment, and Immediately address them
selves to the work of resistance to
the legal enactments of Congress, and
stirring up the people to opposition
and revolt? In his letter, Gen. PopE
says these men are bitter y opposed
to reconstruction under the acts of
Congress; opposed in fact to any re-
construction whatever. except such as
would leave them in precisely the
same political condition as If there
had been no rebellion and no ,oar.n
The mass of the people of the South
are tired of their present political sta
tus. and if leftto their own judgment
would gladly return to a state of quiet
and fixed civil government under the
Congressional policy, but for these
"impediments," as General SHERIDAN
terms these yirulent rebel leaders.
This man HILL, of whose course
General PoPR so justly complains,
carries in his pocket the pardon of
ANDREW JOHNSON, obtained Just
prior to his speech against recon-
struction in Atlanta. His record is
covered deep with broken oaths to
support the Constitution of the United

ordinance of secession, and as mem

He should have received at least the
compliment of Punishment. But un-
der the protecting 9gis of ANDREW
JoHNsoN's treachery. he escaped un-
punished, to continue in the political
arena the struggle that had proved
vain on the field of battle. His
speeches are of the most incendiary
character. In his harangue at At

sistance to the laws of Congress to be
the right and duty of Southern men.

He Wants a Stand-up Fight and a
Round or TWO. fs 80 +,

The Mobile Advertiser, Forsyth's
paper, says that the contest between
the President and Congress has al
ways been a very unequal one, be-
cause the President has not shown
more pluck in fighting. After sharp
ly scolding him for not long ago re-
moving Secretary Stanton and Gener-
al Sheridan, the Advertiser says:
s But above all, let the President
show fight. 1t has been one sided
long enough. He has lost golden OPP
portunlties, it is true-opportunities
that might, in Jacksonian hands. been
long since woven into brilliant victo-
ries on the side of justice, liberty and
the constitution. But he has nine
teen Presidential months to go upon
time enough and to spare for coIr-
age to win in a righteous cause. We
pray him to girdle up his loins for one
fair, stand-up and conquering round
with the Radicals. IF he does, he will
be amazed at the sudden growth of
his popularity aad strength. Friends
will spring up around him like Cadmus
men. Indeed, he only wants pluck,
nerve and active and energetic bellig-
erence to master the situation The
Radical party, we have never doubted,
is cowardly party. Its cruelty and
meanness are unfailing proofs of. it.

that it is the duty of every citizen to
resist an unconstitutional law, the
citizen himself being the judge
whether it is or is not unconstitu-
tional.
1t is presenting itself as a seriou
question in the minds of the loyal
people of the nation, whether such
men should longer be permitted to
stand in the way of an early settle
ment of the political troubles of the
South. The country can well spare
their presence. It will not be surpris-
ing, should this spirit Of factious OPP
position be continued, if Congress
shall deem it advisable to send them
to some of the countries which they
found so con senial during the war or
about the time of the break up"
Of the Confederacy. Brazil, Mexico,

localities than the Southern States for
rebellious and unrepentant rebels
who meddle with the business of re-
construction.

Representation OF Minorities.

The new principle of tho represen-
tation of minorities, as recognized by
the late English Reform Bill, is at
tracing very general attention in po-
litical circles. The principle is very
strongly urged upon the New York
Constitutional Convention, but it is
not likely to receive its endorsement
by ENGRAVING it into the new Consti-
tuition. 1t would be too great revo-
luton upon the present system of suf-
frage and representation. The ques-
ton is comparatively new in this
country, but has been considerably
discussed by writer's on government
lin England. where it has at last been
engrafted into fhe organic law,
though not to its fullest extent. As
it appears in the new Reform Bill the
motion, in brief, was that in boroughs
or counties returning three members,
no person should vote for more than
two, and the city of London for more
than three candidates. 1t is stated
that the proposition would affect only
three constituencies in the kingdom.
Mr.. BRIGHT, in letter to leading
Liberal in Birmingham, severely de-
nounces the amendment, 90 account
of its effect in his District. Birming-
ham returns three members-two
Liberals and one Tory-as it would
be under the working of this plan
The Tory member would offset one of
the Liberals, SO that, says Mr..
BRIGHT, = there will be left only one
vote for your great community" But
it seems that his views did not prevail
in the House of Commons.
The object of the motion was to
give the minority one member out of
three where they numbered full one
third of the electors. But a member
of Parliament has already shown that
this would not always be secured
without more definite wording of it.
Suppose, he says, there were 5000
voters, with minority of 1000. The
majority would have 1000 votes to s
dispose of; the minority 1000. The
1900 divided among three candidates
would give on an average 1893 to
each. The 1900 votes shared among
two candidates would allow ] 900 to
each. The majority would, therefore,
be in a position to return the three
members, with 997 votes to spare.
The reading ought to be that every
elector might give his two votes to
one candidate, or divide them be-
tween two as he should think proper
and then it would be in the power of
the minority third to make sure of
the election. of their one member.
Although the principle will only
have limited application in England,
it's actual application may throw
some light upon the question, and |
more fully determine its merits as ap-
plicable to our system of elections.
