frontery of this step. The suspension OF
the act of habcas corpus Ivy the Secretary OF
the Navy is not a question to be argued; 1t is
an act of usurpation to be denounced 1here
are other circumstances in the case before the
Court which add to the turptudc OF the oiienSe'
but these need not be stated. The main TACT Is
all that we need care for-that Mr.. wells sus-
pends the habeas corpus, and that the President
is responsible for the outrage upon law MI
johnson talks great deal about the
supremacy of civil authority. He makes that
the pretcxt for his opposition to the laws OF
Congress. and upon that ground went out OF
his way to remove Gen. Sickles. A court IN
Philadelphia is as powerful as court IN the
Carolinas, but the President has perhaps re-
fccted that Philadelphia is loyal city 1here
his Secretary may oppose the law with force'
without one word from him to forbid.

TILE NASHVILLE ELECTION.

We print q letter Of one OF our Nashville cor
respondents to-day because We believe that 1t

ton in that city tomorrow, and because 1t GER

the law Of the State on his side That pro-
vidcs that the judges of all elections shall be
appointed by the Commissioners OF Regis
tration The Mayor of Nashville has no better
authority 10 urge against this than the city
charter of 1868, and to us it appears that
such authority cannot stand. lie sus-

Gently made by the higher authority OF the
Legislature This is the legal position OF the
matter, and, practically, the Republicans are
equally right. IL is not 10 be doubted that the
CITY Government has taken this step to pre-
vent the election of Republican Mayor, by
excluding colorcd voters from the polls. This
is the real cause Of the trouble, and 1t Is one OF
the eravest that has resulted anywhere in the
South from the enfmnchiscmcnt of the black.
IL threatens 70 result in riot. and In more
than riot-thc armed interference of the State
troop, in support of Gov. Brownlow.
We think Gen. Grant did rightly III directing
Gen. Thomas to prevent any military inter
ference with the election. The letter of the
law justitics no measures SO extreme. There Is
nothing at stake which requires powder and
ball 10 settle for even the principles involved
can bc maintained without the help of the
military. The most unwecome sight to
thoughtful American would be a soldier stand
ing guard before the polls of State
which is represented in Congress. and

rebellion. Nothing can be worse for the Re
publican party in Tennessee than the assertion
Of its rights by the bayonet, and for he-fIeod-
men there could be no evil greater than
triumph purchased by fighting. We want
American elections conducted without blood
shed, and would see wrong triumphant for
time rather than have right victorious by force.

TIE ST1TE COYTENTON

The worst fault that the Democratic and
Syracuse by the Republican Convention is that
we have put up new men. Ii is quite distress
ing TO see their tears over the State officers
who were not rcnOminatcd, and their anxiety
about the history Of those who have been
named. But we were not nominating Demo
cratic candidates, nor in any manner trying TO
please that party. There has not been for
years more able OF harmonious Conventions
With the exception of the contesting delegates
from this city, there was nothing TO mar the
proceedings. and this point was settled upon
terms Of which not even the contestants COM
plain. Indeed, they claim that the action of
the Convention was a substantial victory for
them. Very good; now let them come up to
the support Of the ticket, and make the party
"a unit at the polls.
Without undertaking the sterling worth
and personal strength of faithful Republicans
now in office, we may say that those we hope
to put in their places are fully their equals in
ability and in the singleness of their devotion
to the principles of the Republican party. Gen.
Mexican, Calvin II. Hulburd, Judge Van Cott
Judge Mason, and thcir associates, are by no
means strangers to the people of the State
The two former have served most acceptably
in Congress, where Mr.. Iiulburd is still "a mem
ber and one of the lirmeSt and most hard
working of our State delegation. Gen. Gates
of Ulster County was one of our bravest sol
dicrs during the war, and is widely respected
and esteemed III his ncighborhood. AS for
Judge Van Cott, who was nominated with
out opposition, no one would think Of
asking for his history i'll this part
Of the State, as he is known and respected by
everybody. ExMayOr Powell of Syracuse, who
is named for State Engineer, Is a stirring and
influential citizen, now engaged i'll the Midland
Railroad enterprise, of which he is one OF the
most efficient promoters. His nomination was
not opposed, the Convention giving him the
place by acclanatiOn. For Canal Commissioner
none but new men were named, and the choice
on the fist ballot fell upon John Hammond of
Allcgany, prominent merchant, and one of
the leading men in the western counties. Mr.
Delamater of Genesee County, who is named
for Prison Inspector, is a clergyman, who was
not satisfied with serving his country during
the war as chaplain, but raised, and until tho
close of the war led a company of brave New
lorkers. Judge Mason of Madison County,
named lor the Court Of Appeals. has had great

Before 1859 all the world saw this clearly, ex-
cept Austria; now the same fact is clear to
every one except to France. The final result
will be the same. One of the first consc-
ouences of this new blunder of Louis Napoleon
is the greatly increased assurance Of Bismarck
that he can carry through the work of German
unity without regard to France.

THE INDIAN COMMISSION.

The public must, by this time, begin to tire
of the multitudinous dispatches and letters
concerning our Indian affairs, and will doubt
less hail with satisfaction the prospect that the
iouneyings and pow-wows of the Commission
are drawing to II close The latest and, IN fact,
the only Council that promises substantial re-
suits took place Oh the 10th and Goth insts., mt
North Platte. AT this convocaton Gen. Shcr-
man met the leading chiefs of the Sioux tribes,
and with them representatives of the Southern
Cheyenncs The great men Of the Indian tribes
were Spotted Tail, Standing Elk, Swift Bear,
Turkey Foot, and Big Mouth. AS prclimi-
nary to the conference the Indians handed
over number OF white women who had for
some time been prisoners i'll one of the tribes
The Commission report that this Council was
especially successful, so far as the Brulc. Ogaia,
and Cheyenne tribes were concerned. Several
important speeches were made, from which we
learn that the main grievances of the Indians
was the running of railroads sand wagon roads
through their reservations, the specially OBJ
nOxOus points being the Smoky Hill Railroad
and the road through the POwdcr River region
These roads they want the Government TO
abandon, and further, they desire to hunt rs
long as gamo lasts i'll their neighborhocd, and
thcn thcy say they are willing to undertake
the cultivation of the soil. After II patient
hearing of Swift Bear, Spotted Iail, Pawnee
Killer Turkey Foot, and Big Mouth. the pow
WOW adjourned for the night The next day
Gen. Sherman made his answer, setting forth
the determination of the Government to have
peace with the Indians, aud explaining to them
the policy of removing The tribes now near the
white settlements to moro remote regions.
