WHO HLNDERS ONSTRUCTIONl

Congress has prescribed the terms aud meth
ods of Reconstruction tie Generals com
mandng the several Southern districts have
obeyed the laws prescribing the registration OF
The legal voters in the several rcyolted States;
and elections might and doubtless would have
been held in most of them ere this, but for
thc Intervention of Andrew johnson and his
Cabinet. They have ordered the elections post
poncd and the registrics reopened, under con-
ditions which Gen. Sheridan so justly con-
demncd as opening macadamizcd highway
for perjury. And those elections still await the
signal from Washington.
If, then, Military governments, such as Con-
grcss has established are despotic and every
way Objectionable, the President is responsible
for tbeig continuance. These "satrapies,' as qur
advGfsaries stiglnatize them are designed for
gatcways through which the Southern States
shall return to that position in the Union which
they deliberately abandoned. Not by Congress
nor by the laws, but by the Presidents arbi-
trary will, are those States kept under Military
rule.
II those States shall not return to their nor
NAL condition in season 10 vote for President
next Fall let the blame rest where il should
oil the shoulders of Andrew Johnson.

The returns from nearly all the State of
Vermont give the following vote:

crmOnt give the 1OllOWng vote:
Republican .......27,Os0 Democratic. 1853
Republican majority, 1891
There was little excitement, but the grand
old Republican majority is there. 1t is fully
equal to the average for series of years,
excepting those in which we vote for Prcsi-
dent In connection with this matter, the fol-
lowing paragraph about the Presidents pet
organ is readable:
The Bost0n Post IS unmaskng the dupicy and false
hood OF the Radical press in relation 10 the late election
Vermont The kilograms sent 10 the Western Press
false IN their COnccamen Of the truth The OF the
Radicals is To talk OF about majority GbOH
bcrs of the lower House. and unanimous Radical Sen
ate To tell what the acs would show the drift Of
political affairs against them, even IN New England, and
that they mean 70 conceal them from hc people at least
until after the Maine and other elections Inc Radicals
have carried Vermont again this year by large majority
bu that majority has been cut down several thousands
the Democratic vote being larger Mast year, and the
Radical vote smaller. To the House Of Representatives
az least 20 cent more Democratic members have been
CHOSEN tins year than last with prospect that the

The Hon. B. +. Perry of South Carolina has
been proposing two very foolish plans for get
ting rid of The negroes. One is to settle them
on reservations" as separate and distinct
communities, "as has been done with the In
dians.r Is Mr.. Perry so delighted with the
success of our Indian system that he wants to
see it extended to four millions of blacks 7
The other plan is to send them all to Liberia,
and he wishes to know if the removal could
not be accomplished III ten or twenty years.
Well. the colored population of the South alone
would make about 5000 large ship-loads, and
to send out 500, or even 400, vessels every year
would require a very respectable navy. But,
pray, what right has Mr. Perry, or any other
white man, to either imprison the freedmen on
reservations Or transport them to foreign land 7
The country is just rs much theirs as his, and
if he does not want to live with them, Mr..
Perry had better go away himself.

The earnings of the Atlantic Telegraph
Cable during the past year have been over a
million of dollars. After heavy deductions, re-
sulting from the two accidents to the Cable of
1866, there remained TO the credit of the reve-
nue. account Sl4O,G70, out of which dividend
is declared at the rate of per cent, free of
income tax, upon the first per cent prcferen-
tal stock. But for these accidents, and n
charge for back interest, the net earnings
would have paid per cent on $4,000, 900,
leaving $4,000 for reserve fund.

At the State Temperance Convention held in
Worcester, Mass, yesterday, the Hon. Henry
Wilson declared that against the twenty-five
millions of capital interested in the liquor traf-
fc, more than one thousand millions are in
terested in sustaining prohibitoTy laws. The
license system would be burden and a crime
on all the business Of the State. Resolutions
were adopted denouncing the license system,
highly commenting the Prohibitory law of
1850, and expressing the hope that prohibition
shall be a part Of the Constitution of every

Judge Erslline Of the United States District
Court of Georgia has decided case which is
expected to furnish a precedent for large
number of trials growing out of the status OF
the blacks after the publication of Mr. Lincoln $
Emancipation Proclamation, but before the final
collapse of the Rebellion. Suit was brought by
Ann. V. Martin to recover $4,000 for the wages
of certain slaves leased 10y her TO the proprie-
tors of iron-works in Barlow County. Georgia.
The defendants, among other pleas, put in
this: That it was part of their agreement that
"dcfendants were to remove the negroes away,
"and keep them removed from the territory
THAT was within the lines Of the Federal army,
with view and design of preventing the lib
"eration of said negroes from their former
Estate of servitudc' emancipation, it will be
observed, having been decreed before the date
of the contract; and Judge Erskine decides
that this agreement being "in cOntravention
"of the previously settled policy of the Gov
"ernmcnt, and wicked in itself, yitiates the
whole contract.

We are at cngth enabled to read the meeting
of the Emperors of France and Austria at
Salzburg in the light of a French official ex-
planation of the object of that interview Ac-
cording to NJ. Mousticr's circular on the subject
TO the diplomatic agents of France abroad, the
sentiment which inspired the desire of Napoleon
to visit Francis Joseph was purely personal; (;
the visit was one of coincidence with the I'M
pcral family of Austria on the execution of
Macmillan. 1t is admitted in the circular that
the Emperors did discuss questions of general
politics, but their exchange of views and re-
ciprocal assurances were, We are told, entirely
favorable to the maintenance of peace III Europe.
If Napoleon is to be believed, he is not hostile
to the cause of German unity. After the publ
cation of this circular, giving such solemn
assurances, the course of France toward Ger
many will be watched with deeper interest than

An effort is TO be made TO induce the Sccrc-
tary of the Treasury to purchase 7.3O notes,
with view of easing the money market; but
it is hardly possible that he can be so short
sighted as the adoption of this plan would show
him to be. The scheme is simply one to give
a little Treasury pap, i'll the form of commis-
siOns, ard the sooner he puts an end to the
report that hc intends to buy 7.30s, by reopen
ing Their conversion into gold-bearing bonds,
the better. With gold at 12j next July, and
5-2Os at 1905, the conversion of all the 1905
is as certain as any future event can be, and
it would be a blundcr with these facts in view
to buy at per cent premium q stock which,
at maturity, will pass into long bonds. If the
Secretary has any surplus funds, he had better
pay maturing debts with them, and not waste
his resources and weaken his position by an
ticipating his remote payments. The maturcd
