inaton dispatch speaks of a new phase of the
Maryland militia embrogio, as follows.
1t will be remembered that on the occasion Of
the parade and review of the first Maryland
militia division, National Guard, on the 18th
October last, some soldiers in the division ex-
pressed their political feelings towards Gov
ernor Swami by grooming him and cheering
for Congress. The Governor caused a
court Of inquiry to be instituted and has just
promulgated his decision. He dishonorably
dsmisses the officers and dishonorabIy dis
charges the men of three companies of the

The Sunday Advertiser, in commencing the
tone of some Republican journals with respect
to the Presidents message falls into curious
mistake. 1t quotes one OF Thurlow. Weeds
commendatory sentences, and credits it to the

Too PRoGREssIvE.-We have several times
alluded to the impossibility of bringing the
bulk Of the Democratic party up to any ration
al Conservative ground. The Copperheads of
Maine are dissatisfied with the moderation OF
the Argus and are beginning to talk quite
plainly ABOUT ''spbservient, time serving news
paper politics and management" The Cop
perheads Of Iowa are equally dissatisfied with
the New York World, and one OF them has
written letter which the World with its ac-
customed boldness prints. The following are
the principal points
Permit ME to inquire if you are not too pro-
gressive to be a DemocratS Your advocacy of
negro suffrage does not find response among
the Democratic party of Iowa, can assure
you. We all admit the ability of The World
but for this heresy discard it as the organ Of
the Democracy in the United States. = =
- Discard negro suffrage or renounce
Democracy, ~& The World Almanac
We hope may not inculcate such fiendish doc
trines on the negro question The Day Book
Ell. DR.. Van Eyerle is always sound, which we
regret we cannot say OF the World and the
Chicago Times. Honesty in politics as well as
morals should be the rnle and not the excep-
ton OF such able shee Is as yours and the Chi
cage Times, .,... -.t
There it is; the Day Book not the World,
The Bangor Democrat, not the Argus, are the
accepted organs of the Democracy. The
World replies in substance that the mission
which 1t has chosen is ''propagandism," and
therefore it is willing to become ell things to
all men that little while ago it did propose
some concessions OF the suffrage question; but
that the Republican party has rejected its
terms and nothing remains but to storm their
works and exercise all the rights of conquer
ers" In plain English, the Democratic party
will not come to the World and therefore the
World is going over to the party. ....... p. ~

JOHN QUINCY ADAhs is curious specimen
OF Democrat. Here are some extracts from
his Concord speech, published in the World,
which must have sounded rather oddly to the
Copperheads of New Hampshire. After saying
that he. mated james BUCHANAN on principle q
Mr. Adams proceeded as follows: = )"
Let me say at the outset that do not think
all those who differ with me knaves. or fools;
nay, / appreciate ofteu.y the whole force OF
their arguments, nor would disparage these
who like my dear friend Gov, Andrew, while
he differed nearly as widely ash aid with sthe
course ofiiis party preferred togo With il and
fight it out there This is reasonable if it
pleases YOU to do so. But gentlemen / have
come to this that to- night it is pretty difficult
for me to say whether am in principle a
Conservative Rspu blicsnsor a Liberal Demo-
whether | am called Republican or a Demo-
crat, l have no quarrel with Republicans
when they argue for equal protection, equal
privileges OF black man and OF white man.
When read their noble declarations of an
undying intent to struggle on till the equality
of all men, irrespective of race or color, before
the law, is -irreyocably established, can
heartily saySamen. This is not our difference.
This is not our difference, and it is only pal

egy.g 1 hail, as sgladly as the most philan-
thropic of our sentimental statesmen, every
noble aspiration, every earneat effort towards
better and gIandcr development of personal
and national life.. The conservatism of re-
action and retreat as an ultimatum reject as
curly as they do, But do say that the lead
ers of the Republican party have gone
too far and too fast, that they have
missed their way, and are now foun-
dering on after the battling will-o'the-
wisp of the swamp and the slough, not march
ing steadily on towards the beacon on the
hilltop. They have mistaken the tallow dip
of their own making for the bright lamp OF ex-
perience. In one word, schjle l syrapdt'size 1ith

TIE appointment of General Hancock to the
command of the fifth military district comes
too late to affect the progress of reconstruc
ton in Louisiana to any serious extent. All
the discretionary powers that the acts Of Con-
gress confer upon the district commanders
with respect to reconstruction have already
been exercised; and the duties TO be perform
ed hereafter are strictly ministerial. The Con-
vention now in session fixes the day upon
which the people snail vote upon the consti-
tuition submitted for their approval, and the
presiding officer OF the same body transmits
the constitution to the President, if it is rati
fed. The voting will take place, it is true,
under the direction of officers appointed by
Gen. Hancock, but as the registration is now
unalterably 6xed, he can use his power to lit
tie purpose for the benefit Of those who desire
the defeat of reconstruction, unless he re-
sorts to gross usurpatioD. Besides this super
intendencs of the election, the law gives him
no further direct agency in the successive steps
toward restoration, except the simple matter
Of receiving the returns of the vote on the
adoption OF the constitution. 1t Is fortunate
for Louisiana that the vitality important mat
ter Of registration and the calling of the con-
vention were managed by supporters Of the
Congressional policy. But Texas remains to
Con. Hancock as an object of experiment with
another sort of policy than that which has
made her associate State already wel-nich fit
ted TO resu me her place in the Uaion. ..s. "a

thus far assembled. many measures OF uhoehi-
able wisdom suggested r"i'i' o''i's NV
vo,.I,x among these is the proposed abolition
Of tba code OF laws that has been IN force IN

,,.,s settled by the French and brought with it
into the Union what is known as tho "Code
Napoleon" q system OF laws which the first
Emperor and his able coadiutors framed with
great skin from the Roman civil law. In it.
self it is not especially objectionable, but in its
methods Of procedure it is SO dissimilar to the
common law elsewhere prevailing that Lousi-
ana has been, 50 far as its jurisprudence is con
cerned, foreign State. There is more val
liable craftsmanship than that which strives 10

Again there is much merit in the importance
accorded in these Conventions TO common
schools In Louisiana and Virginia this great
reform received immediate attention. No ad-
equate provision has hitherto been made for
the education of the masses in those States but
the abolition of slavery is followed as a mat
ter of course by intense eagerness to emulate
the North in intellectual culture. The time
will come when all the people OF the South
will feel profoundly grateful to the 39.h and to
the 40th Congress for rejecting the policy OF
the administration, for that policy would have
left the ten States now under military control
in the hands Of the same class of men who
have signalized their accession to power in
Maryland By abolishing the system ofoommon
schools already existing there.
