Duty OF THIS HOUR. the aw-
full brigadier find us planting and
building; whites and blacks living
harmoniously; our Legislature con-
sidering measures for preserving the
credit of the State and developing its
wealth; judges on the bench admins
tering the laws of the land with uni
versal acceptation to all alike; and
then let him, before the face of the
earth and Heaven, by one order from
headquarters, deprive a whole people
of all this order and peace, and legal
protection, and rule them with q
bayonet at all their throats, and not
law over them, but the edge of the

We know not yet that matters will
come to this. There may be some
considerations mot of law or Justice,
certainly that will stop the furious
career of those relentless anarchists.
They may find, after they have weld
ed together their Stevens bill, their
Elliott bill, and their Wilson amend
ment, into one trenchant and tremen-
dous tomahawk, to strike us all down
to utter ruin at one swoop, that after
all, there are, perhaps, reasons why
the blow should not be struck. In

torrent Of lawless rage that sweeps
over the land, we saved those pre-
cious liberties from utter shipwreck; !;
and that, i'll the loudest and widest
Of the tempest, We do not give up

Comments OF the Washington Press

Comments OF the Washington Press.
We subjoin the comments of the
newspapers Mt Washington in rela-
ton to the bill which has passed
Congress for the government of the
South:
At a late hour last night the recon
structlon bill passed the Senate, with
the odlouS House amendments in
cluded-amendments that should
have palsied the hands that penned
them, a. they will blacken, in after
days, the character of those who
pushed them forward to successful
consummation. We know that the
better sort Of Republicans desired at
heart that that form of embittered
proscrlptiveness should not be forced
upon them, but the bciests OF fana-
tlclsm and mercenariness were all
powerful, as is seen by the apparently
despalring vote against the bill.
National hteNigencer, Feb. 81.
AS it will be observed, this hill
passed the Senate yesterday event
Ii the President approves of the me,
sure, he will make himself a military
deSpOt over ten States of the Federal
Union. He cannot sign it with honor.
1t sets aside the Constitution and
Supreme Court of the United States,
disregards all civil authorities and
laws, and confers absolute power, un-
limited and uncontrolled by men,
upon the President. We believe him
to be too much of patriot 20 accept
the boon thus offered him. At the
same time, we sincerely hope and be-
lieve that he will return the bill with
his objections, and throw the respon-
sibility Of having enacted such q
monstrous law upon its authors.
Such thing In mans tpocket"
would certainly make him feel uncom-
Portable. .-NationM Repu6hcan, 21st.
The measure Of Congressional re-
construction is complete. 1t leaves
nothing to inference. It is clear-it
leaves nothing to doubt. While with
one hand it excludes traitors from
control, it restores the common or
natural rights to all loyal men, and
accompanies the pledge with the
protection. At one fell swoop, the
whole system of oppression, whether
State Governments or State laws,
falls to the ground. For the first
time since the beginning of the
world, man has been secured the full
opportunity to prove himself worthy
of self-government.

eastern part Of the State, where IT is better
