II General Candy in louisiana had the good
/ opinion of every loyal man there, and if he
1 had none of the plaudits, he bad the respect
/ of all the disloyal. In all cases he appeared
simply DESTROYS of doing his duty without
the least regard for party considerations,
and rigidly obeying and executing the laws
without in the least regarding party or per-
sonal considerations. He was as far as pos
sible from being a politician ora speech
maker, and as it is right to give every man
the credit of his record" we were expect
/ ing nothing but good from his administra-
ton of affairs in the Carolinas, despite the
manner of his appointment. We observe
that his first act of any Importance Is the
PRONUNCIATION of an order which states that
illegal and oppressive taxes have been lm-
posed in North and South Carolina, and d1-
recting their suspension-as, for instance,
whenever they are imposed otherwise than
under the authority of the United States;
whenever the levying of the tax impugns
the power of Congress to regulate commerce
between the States; whenever uni ust dis
elimination is made between residents OF the
State and citizens of other States of the
United States; and, finally, whenever any
tax is imposed for the purpose OF dlscharg-
ing any obligation in aid of the rebellion, or
to reimburse the public treasury or any local
or public officer or any person whatever for
any expenditure on account OF any such
pretended obligation. This order is to the
point, and General Candy says it is needed.
Its PRONUNCIATION will partly reassure such
people as were afraid that loyalty had lost
much in the removal of Sicktes and the ap-
pointment of Candy to take his place. But
the fear grew out of the fact that Mr.. John
son made the removal and appointment. and
was justified by nothing in Canby's previous
course as a communicable Nation.
The Nation does no more than justice to
Gen. Candy. He is brave, honest, straight
forward soldier, who knows little of politics,
and confines himself to his duties as mill
tary man. His sympathies must be, howev-
er, with the Republican party, as that is the
party that suppressed the rebellion and can
alone restore the outlying States to their
places in the Union. We do not see how
any man can love his country and at the
same time favor those whose schemes would
inevitably lead to its destruction.
1t is reported that Gov. WORTH of this
State, has been ordered to Columbia to con-
fer with Gen. Candy. Gen. G. will find it q
difficult task to trace and fasten this adroit
rebel in his devious, selfish windings. He
will not be apt to contide in him to any con-
extent. If he should, he will GER
tainly be deceived.
This State is to-day as thoroughly in the
hands of the Confederates as it was in 1864.
Thousands of its magistrates, IA large major
ity of its clerks, sheriffs, constables, and
town officers, and all its corporations are
hostile to the reconstruction acts, and are
doing all they can in quiet way to prevent
the return of the State to the Union. Gov.
Worth will deny this to Gen. Candy, but we
tell the General that there are thirty thou
sand white and sixty thousand colored men
in the State who will sustain us in the state
ment The word of all these loyal men is
certainly worth more than that of Governor
Worth.
