MILsON. OE NATIcK

WILSON, Of Natick, has sgsin en-
Hvened Richmond with his presence.
Before the Republican caucus Of the
gso-eailedl Convention, he ventured on a
speech. in which he said that he fav-
ored extending the franchise in the
Southern States, rather than eurtaLing
it, He said " that ver hfy thousand
persons we're disfranchised in the South,
and It was idle cIsmor to say that this
disfranchis emeut affected the putting Of
the South under the rule Of the blacks.
He predicted that seven of the Southern
States would be 10 the Union by the
fourth Of July, with Republican Consti-
buttons. Congress" be said, d" intended
to stand firm, and the present generation
would be gray before the reconstruction
acts were revoked"
It would be difficult for Mr.. WILSON to
extend the franchise without including
the white men Of the South. All the
negroes now enjoy the franchise. With
regard to the revocation Of the recon
struetion sets, there is some evidence
that the registered voters Of the South
intend to take that matter in hand by
putting their veto upon the constitutions
50 inqsldOusly constructed by the ODE
dent servants Of the Radical extremists.
Mr.. WILSON may thus be spared the
1orbIe Of " standing firm in defense Of
the recaustructiOn acts. We hope so.

One of the dangers to be avoided, in
the Presidential campaign Of the next
wear. is the temptation presented to the
Radical party, to throw the election into
the House Of Representatives. Tie ex-
IRENE Radicals viii not be satisfied with
Gen. GRANT. No more viii the mode.
rate Radicals be willing to support Chief
Justice CHASE. The danger perceived
by them, therefore will be that, which
ever may be nominated must be defeated,
in 4 single-handed contest. They may
hence adopt the policy OF running seve-
raI candidates and thus securing the sup
port Of all shades Of Republicans. Il
-bev can thus succeed in carrying
votes enough 10 defeat the Demo
cratic candidate, before the people
they will throw the final contest
into the House OF Representatives
where there will be little question about
the election Of d or the other Of the
Republican candidates. The only way
to guard against such a result is to be
united and judicious in the selection OF q
Conservative candidate. If the righi
man in the right place" should be
.seIeetsd-a man who a. secure the sup
port OF all who are opposed to Radical
rule. there can be no doubt about the
result. Let the Conservatives be on theil
guard and let the people be warned o.
the peril that lies before them.

This bill was evidently framed in the
interests Of a most mean and despicable
action, and not for the public good. The
San Francisco Alta notes u operation
Of il which deserves attention, which,
a. no voters are involved ia It's evils, it
probably will not get. The law rePu-
dates and prohibits any distinction in
civil rights on account Of rsce or color
except that 3 ChinzmaR is not permitted
to testify 10 court! The result Is that a
class Of men in California, white men,
and numbering, says the Altar at least q
hundred, have gone into the business Of
robbiug Cinnamon, who srs quiet,
thrifty, orderly, and perfectly inof-
fensive, because they know they are safe
against conviction and punishment!
This i. certainly 3 great outrage perpe-
trated, in the name Of justice and equal
rights, upon 8 class far more friendlsss
aud helpless than the negroes. Are not
Chinamen as much entitled to be pro-
tected ia their rights against robbers and
thieves As the negro? The civil rights
bill, instead Of protecting them, has
licensed a band OF robbers to prey upon
them.

NOEEEFtsN aA MfAAAA0h A9 GHRMs Hancock -
Order on Assuming Command II the
Eiftb Military district,
WASHINGTON, December IS-The
President sent the following message IL
Congress to-day
Gentlemen OF the Senate and House Of Repre-
EenLatives;
An official copy Of she order issued by
Maj-Gen. W. S. Hancock, Commander
Of the Fifth Military District, dated
headquarters New Orleans, on the 18th
day of Aoyemhe has reached me
through the regular channels Of the War
Department and I herewith communi-
cate to Congress for such action
as may seem to be proper in view
Of the circumstances. It will be
perceived that General Hancock
announces that be will make the law the
rule Of his conduct. That he will uphold
the courts and other civil officers for per-
Torrance Of their proper duties, and that
he viii use his military power only to
preserve peace and enforce law. He de-
clares very explicitly that the sacred
rights Of trial Oy jury and the privilege
of hG5e0S corpus shall not be crushed aut,
or Todosu Under heel. He goes further,
and in u comprehensive sentence as
serts that the principles Of American lib
erty are still an Inheritance OF this
people, and yer should be. When a great
soldier, with unrestrained power in his
hands 70 Cypress his fellow-man and
country, fOregoes the chance OF graf
flying his selfish ambition, and devotes
bimseiT to the duty Of building up the
liberties and strengthening the laws Of
bis country, he presents an example Of
the highest virtue that human nature is
capable OF prRcticing. The strongest
claim Of Washington TO be A" frat in war,
first Ia peace, and first In the hearts
Of bis cOBptFgUen,8 is founded on the
great asst that Ia ali bis iliustrious career
be s~crupuiousiy abstained from violating
the legal aud constitutional rights Of his
fellow-citl3eDs. When he surrendered
his commission 70 Congress az President
OF that body, be spoke praise in saying
he had always regarded the rights OF the
civil authorities, through all dan
gers and disasters. Where power,
above tie lgw coprted his accept
ance, he calmly put temptation
aside, by msguanimeus acts Of foFbear-
ance: be was the universal admiration
Of mankind, and left a name which has
no rival liR the history Of the world. I
am far from saying that Gen Hancock
is the only officer Of the American army
who is Influenced by the example Of
Washington, Doubtless thousands OF
them are faithfully devoted to the princi-
plies for which the men Of the revolution
aid down their lives. But the distin-
guished honor belongs 10 him Of be-
ing The frat officer in kigh command
south Of the Potomac since the civil war
who has given utterance to these noble
sentiments in the form Of a military or
der. l respectfully suggest to Congress
that some Publtc recognition Of Gen.
HRocock's patriotic conduct is due, if
not to him, to the friends of law and
justice throughout the country Of which
sncl an act as his at such a time is but
fitting that the dignity should be viudi-
Gated and virtue p~FOBlaimsd, 50 tnat its
value as an example may not be lost to
the nation.
