TUE COURSE OF THE PRESIDENT UPON THE
LATE RECONSTRUCTION ACT.--It is understood,
10 well-informed circles, that the President will
cheerfully and promptly enter upon the cxecu-
tion of the Reconstruction Act of the last ses-
sion of Congress, giving if occasion requires,
Flicit instructions to the commanding Generals
The utmost care will be taken to guard against
possible collision with the generally understood
wishes of Congress 1t is believed, however,
that all the Cabinet are agreed upon the princi-
pie that the President of the United States, un.
der the Constitution, has no power to exonerate
himself from ultimate responsibility for all ex-
ecutive action under the Government, to the
extent that he "shall take care that the laws are
faithfully executed" Should an occasion un >
fortunately force itself, or be forced upon him,
In which he must consent to be disobeyed or
supplanted from his constitutional jurisdiction,
or else require his commands, under the law, to
be implicitly obeyed, by the power of the army
and navy, if necessary, there is, we satisfied,
no authority for saying what line of action the
administration would adopt.-Nattonal INTEL
Iycncer.
This is evidently an authorized statement of
the views of the President, but Mr. Johnson
has shown himself so utterly destitute of moral
courage that We don't think it amounts to much,
one way or the other, what his views are We
hope, at least, he will not again NEEDLE with
the Reconstruction Acts, uness he had the
nauiness to do better than heretofore. He
protested to have "policy," but has never
stood up to any policy. Let him slide.

Economical Darkiess

A Radical newspaper boasts that the
negroes Of the South have deposited con-
siderable some in Savings Banks during
tho last year. This may be 80; but the
poor laboring white men in tho North
might deposit considerable sums in Sa'
wings Banks, too, if the Federal Govern.
ment would furnish them houses to live
in, food 10 eat, clothes to wear and schools
for their children, as it does for tho ne
groes. But instead Of such favors, the
white men of the North are compelled tc
furnish all these things for themselves
and then pay taxes to support the negroes
and enable, them to lay by money in thu
Savings Banks besides. 1t used to b'
said that this was white mans govern
ment but through Radical Bureaus and
such like agencies, it is practically
government in which white men have Il
labor and pay taxes for the benefit Of ne
groes and yet, in the face Of these prac
tical facts, the Radical demagogues tall
about equality before the law."-St

Storm In the West Indies.

tains full particulars of the great storm
in the West Indies. The hurricane i'm
molated multitude of victims. destroyed
horses, dessolated plantations, swept away
fields Of grain. and deprived thousands
Of poor, in one night, Of the means Of
livelihood.
At St. Thomas the damage was very
great. In the island Of Tortula the de-
struction was lamentable, not a single
house is left standing. Hundreds of
lives were lost. The same may be said Of
the island of Vieques. In Cidro ninety
three houses were destroyed and several
lives lost. In Laiza twenty. y.sevcn houses
and several lives; in Aquishara every
house with several lives was destroyed.
In the Rio Grande forty houses and
eleven persons. In Corozal forty five

Arrest Of Maj. McCardle Editor OF The

From tho Vicksburg Herald, Of the 9th.]
The arrest Of Mag. McCardle, the dis
tincuished and chivalric editor of the
Times, took place yesterday. On inquiry
We learned that he had been arrested for
obstructing reconstruction and advising
resistance to tue acts of Congress. This
is Il poor pretense. The Times had advo.
Gated the same policy that the Herald has
The only difference in the course Of the
two papers has been the personalities that
our friend Of the Times has chosen to
indulge in. In opposing reconstruction,
the Herald has kept paripu with the
Times. Whatever punishment falls on
Major McCardlc We invoke On our own
head. We now distinctly avow unceasing
opposition to the reconstruction acts Of
Congress. We believe them to be uocon.
sttutional, aud therefore void. We will
continue to advise our peo ole to resist
them under all circumstances. The &C.
ton Of General Ord in this matter We re
gard as cowardly in the extreme degree,
inasmuch as he seeks to inhict punishment
on an adversary whom he dares not meet
in equal combat, by using his extraordi.
nary and illegal power.
That this matter is simply a personal
one between the General and Mr.. McCar.

ing shame that United States officer

has ever maintained the doctrine of re.

no personal insults to any officer who
thinks he is doing his duty in enforcing
the harsh and unnatural requirments OF
those acts, hut we shall and will, as pub

Extent OF DisfranchiSment AT thl
South.

In order to cast tho blame Of negro
supremacy at the South on the whites, a
large part Of tho Radical press still per-
sist in reiterating the falsehood that the
number If disfrsnchised whites there is
insignificant. Some Of these presses
have boldly asserted that not forty thou =
sand have been disfranchiscd. The Now
Orleans Times meets this assertion with
the counter statement. which it says can
not be truthfully denied, that in Lousi.
anna alone thirty thousand whites are
lisfranchisad by the reconstruction acts
The white population Of louisiana is not
a tenth part Of the whites included in the
revolted> States, SO it follows that ten
times thirty thousand have been disfran.
chised in those States. This would carry
the number up to three hundred thousand
This number Of those who could not reg.
lister is probably in no degree c.aggera'
ted, if we consider not only those who
were directly struck at by these acts, but
those who were barred out by the con-
struetions put upon them by tho officers
who execute these acts.-l.epublican.
