SOUTHERN SENTIMENT SNuBREn

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT SNUBBED BY
PRESIDENT JoHNsoN-A COOP SIGN.-When
the party that went from this city to Jarratt's
Depot, to meet the Presidential party were
returning to this city, the seat occupied by
the President was shared by high official,
we'll known in this city as eonsistent re-
bel that is, he is as much of a rebel now as
is consistent with the altered circumstances i!
AS is natural to suppose, conversation was
free and unconstrained, and daring its
course the loud dignitary Aforementioned took
occasion to remark to the President, that
"we OF the South are very circumscribeCt in
the expression of our sentiments. We are
not allowed, and dare not express our senti-
ments and feelingsn The President un.
doubtedly being touched with a recollection
of what he knew of "Southern sentiment
and feeling" replied nearly as follows: 81
suppose the reason is your sentiments and
feelings would occasion you to say some
thing not in harmony, nor favorable to the
Government, but derogatory thereto, and
Objectionable to those who support the gov
eminent"
The above needs no comment from U.S.
That sounds like Andy johnson IN times
prior to his becoming President. Prob
ably the fact of this reply preceded his ar
rival In our sister city, and was the occasion
of the poor receptions he met with there. 1t
is also quite likely that Mayor Mayo's at
tack of hemorrhage was brou ght on by some
equally cutting reply of the President to some
of his remarks. If the President had been
less sparing in his expressions of what he
knew to be truth and right regarding South
ern sentiment and feeling the work of recon-
struction would be now nearly completed
and would be as much beloved and homer
ed as his lamented predecessor Norfolk Re

Registration in this State.

We learn from Mr.. Brodie, who has just
returned from Charleston, that the Board of
Registration recently in session there, has
prepared Rules on the subject which will
soon be printed.
There will be three Boards of three each
Counties of medium size; and one Board to
each of several small Counties. A Board
will consist of two white men and one col
ored man.
The Boards of Registers in the various
Counties will recommend to Gen. Sickles
suitable persons to act as poll-holders or in
speetors of the elections.

Mr.. Stanbery's Opinion.
he New York Herald, in an able article

| IuC N6W 1OIh Aof"tec, III Oh dUlO dlllClS
on the subject, says:
eve are to have a deliberative piece of
] legislation put forth from the Executive
Chamber-an ssorder in COMEDIAN impe-
rial decree or ukase multiplying absolutely the
reconstruction laws passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress, and declaring that the
Presidents policy still lives and is paramount
to all law. Well might the President have
believed his own declaration that Congress
had no Legitimate power in the Government,
since we see that in fact it has none, and
that it only wasted the words in which it
expressed the peoples will. Attorney Gen
eral Stanbery used no idle expression in the
Supreme Court when he declared that his
sympathies were on the other side" Be-
tween the President and his lawyer and the
stultiied Cabinet that agreed to the Presi-
dents vetoes and now agrees to one more
veto, we see the defunct State-rights doc
trine again rising to trouble the nation with
| its putrid presence. Functionaries deri-
wing their authority from the State govern
ments," they tell us, shall be safe and sacred.
No general shall touch them. They may do
what they please-they may be obstructive
and factious and impracticable, according to
the example set in Washington and if the
generals find it impossible to carry out
the laws with such civil officers fighting
them at every step, why, then, the generals
may resign!, That is what the law of Con-
gress comes to. Rebel hatred of RECONSTRUCT
ton will have lost all its ingenuity and ami
mus if, under such rule and with the guild
ance of the makers of that rule it does not
utterly kill every point of the law that the
North desires should be kept alive"
The New York Times, recently quite con-
sentative, says:
'' 1t is perfectly clear that the people want
things done, not argued, in the South. They
applaud Sheridan for having swept out of
his path men who were hindering and OBJ
structing the work of reconstruction which
he was sent there to carry out. Whether he
had the strict technical right to do it or not,
makes little difference They do not care to
inquire into that. Indeed, they are impa-
tient and uneasy when they find that made
the main point in the case by the Govern
ment. This may not be encouraging to low
ers of constitution and laws-to those who
believe the salvation of the country depends
upon rigid adherence to the letter of both,
but it is unquestionably the temper of the
people. They believe that the rebel temper
still exists, and that it lies at the bottom of
every attempt to defeat, check, or even guide
the process of reconstruction by our military
commanders under the law of Congress, and
they interpret every thing that happens in
the light of this belief

LET Us HAVE THE ORDER,

Now that the ''opinion of the Attorney
General has been promulgated, we are some
what impatient to see the OHler of the Pres
ident to the commanders of the several mill
tary districts, so that the nation may know
the fate which its gracious ruler has in store
for it. There is no reason why there should
be any delay in this matter, for we may as
sumo, with tolcrable assurance of being
correct, that the order was prepared, in sub,
stance at least, before the 90 opinion and
served as a guide to the Presidents legal
adviser in the preparation of the latter
| Neither need Mr.. johnson have any delicacy
in regard to it from the fear of unduly shock
| ing the public mind: He did that when
| the people thought him an honest man and
patriot, by proving reereant at once to his
party, his principles, and the trust confided
to his keeping. But we know him now, and
shall not be surprised at anything he may
do. The military commanders too, are anx-
reparation they will be expected to make to
Mr.. Johnson's aggrieved friends, the rebel
officials, whose removal has seemed to them
essential to the public interest Sheridan
will want to know, as soon as possible, on
what terms his, superior officer proposes to
carry out his expressed intention of retain
ing his servicers in command of the Fifth
Military District; and if he is expected to
apologize to Mayor Monroe, Judge Abel,
and Attorney General Heron, it will be
only fair to apprise him OF its early as con-
venient, and let him get the disagreeable job
done with, "a especially as it is sort of bust
ness to with the gallant hero of the Shenan-
doah valley is unaeeustomed, and it will be
necessary for him to spend considerable
time In the rehearsal of his part. Sickles
will be anxious to learn how he may atone
for the outrage put upon the ehivalric
Charfestonians in requiring them to salute
the hated bunting of the " Yankee Govern
ment" And one and all of them will
breathe more freely when informed precisely
what their new relations are to be to those
civil governments which they had been led
Enormously, it seems) to look upon IS mere
ly provisional in their character, and with
out any legal warrant, save such as was by
sufferance conferred upon them in the recon-
struction acts The members of Congress
will also be glad to learn exactly how Mr..
johnson understands their measures, and he
can best inform them through such an order.
They will then, at their meeting in July, be
better prepared to explain to him any points
which he may now fail to comprehend fully.
By all means let US have the order as quick
ly as possible Wash. Clron.

THE ANDERSONVILLE LEAGUE.
DAVIS TO BE KILLED IF FOUND ON UNITED
STATES SOIL.

DAVIS TO BE KILLED IF FOUND ON UNITED
STATES SOIL.
A Washington correspondent of the Erie
Pa) Dispatch writes us as follows, which he
says he can testify to:
When it was found that Davis was to 90
on bail, a matter which every one there looks
upon as a virtual discharge, the excite
ment among the veteral soldiers knew no
bounds. The result had been published days
before, and, half expecting it, meeting
was privately called, at which some sixty
discharged soldiers were present, who bound
themselves sacredly together under the name
OF the Andersonville League" every men,
Der subscribing to solemn oath that if JUS
tice tailed In its duty they would take JUS
tice in their own hands.
This brotherhood no man was qualified
to enter but those who had suffered either
from wounds or Imprisonment in the rebel
pens during the war. 1t now extends to
New York, Philadelphia and Boston. While
the bail was being arranged by the court at
Richmond on the day set for the trial. a pa
per was handed in to Davis counsel, Charles
O'Connor, of New York, warning him of the
existence of such league, and naming two
men IN the court room as members
The men were seized as soon as they left
the room on mock charge and taken to
Jail, and were not released until a week after,
when Davis was in New York. 1t will be
remembered that Davis arrived in New York
during the night; that he kept secluded as
much as possible while at the New York Ho-
tel, no one being admitted but those who
We're personally known to some of the par
ty; that he was suddenly removed one night
from the hotel to Brooklyn, where he re-
NAMED until his departure; that he left
New York alone and in disguise for Mon
treal, his party and family following only
when he had telegraphed to them of his
safe arrival. When it is understood that
the brotherhood were upon his track, and
that he was conscious of it, this strange con-
duct is easily accounted for. According to
the oath, as long as he remains on foreign
ground he is safe, so it is hardly probable
that he will again set foot upon the soil of
the United States; at least not until he feels
easier in his mind than at present.

man could possibly accept it as having any
tendency whatever to bring about either q

The Meeting of Congress.

i The indications now are that Congress
will certainly re-assemble on the Sd of next
month. This has been rendered especially
necessary by the recent extraordinary opinion
of the Attorney General, Mr. Stanbery. tits
taken for granted that the President will act
upon this opinion, and unless the Congress
shall promptly and sternly interpose, all the
good fruits of the reconstruction measures of
that body will be lost Governments proVis-
ional in their nature, and merely tolerated
for the time being by Congress, Mr.. john
son assumes exist in full vigor as part OF
his plan, and he would continue and exalt
them over the heads of our loyal people, thus
holding us under rebel rule, and destroying
all hope of sound and healthy reconstruction.
This must not be. We entirely agree with a
distinguished Republican member of Con-
gress, who writes us under date June IS,
that
| "Never has it been more important to Sc
cure session of Congress. 1t is now plain
| that the work of reconstruction can not 60
on under the lead of Mr.. johnson. Congress
must again and constantly assert its power,
or the South will be given up once more to
the domination of those who ruled during
the war. and after the war, previous to the
legislation of last March. The opinions of
the Attorney General have robbed the legis-
lation of Congress of all its benign and
healing fruits 1t is due to the South and
the North that such perversity in law and
morals should be controlled by the legisla-
tive department of the government"
We are not surprised at the report that
Gen. Sickles has asked to be relieved. Every
General in command has been grossly refec-
ted upon by the President through Mr. STAN
berry. They are held up as usurpers, as hay
ing trampled on Constitutions and laws, and
as to one of the Generals it is charged that
he has set himself up as The State" 1t is
true, the poor concession is made that they
are honest in their intentions, but they are
lectured in this Cabinet pronuncamento as
blunderers and usurpers. The effect must
he, in the absence of further action by Con-
gress. the defeat of the reconstruction meas
ures, and the continuance and increase of
distress among our people, with the prospect
of anarchy and CONFUSION in the future.
The latest news is that in Cabinet meetings
held on the 18th and Goth, the opinion of
the Attorney General was approved, and
instructions will accordingly be issued to the
Generals commanding the Districts. The
President submitted the matter to the Cabi-
net, and after their decision sustaining the
opinion unanimously with the exception of
Mr.. Stanton, he announced his purpose to
act accordingly.
Here, then, is work for the Congress. Let
it meet and let it act promptly and firmly.
The destiny of the country is in its hands,
If it should hesitate, or do halfway work,
the perils that environ us will increase, and
the end may be disastrous in the extreme
The President has pluck. Let Congress be
firm in the right, and the country will be
