GOVERNOR PATTON EEFRANCHlsED.

There was quite debate in the Senate, a
few days ago. on the question of removing the
political disabilities imposed on Governor
Patton by the reconstruction laws. The
general idea Of the radical senators seemed to
be that their action, in this respect, is eJuiva
lent to apardon, for some real or imaginary
offenses committed by Governor Patton. But
the paTdOning power belongs to the Executive
and not to Congress, and, moreover, we do not
know that the person in question requires
pardon for anything but his desertion of his
Own people and his adhesion to the radical fac
ton. All the acts of Congress that can ever be
passed viii never obtain that pardon for him.
Governor Patton may think it very fine
thing to have special act passed for his ex-
press benefit; and no doubt he will be vastly
proud of being enfranchised, like the negroes
of Alabama, and thus put on an equality with
the members of the Black Crook Convention.
We suppose that his first exercise of his newly
acquired privilege will be to go up, proudly
to the ballot-box, and deposit vote in favor
of the Black Crook Constitution. What a
spectacle! The governor of Alabama VOTING
to disfranchise more than half of his fellow
citizens for acts in which he was, himself a
participant. 1t would be humiliating enough
for Il an to vote at all, under such system
as the reconstruction acts, but to vote in com
pany with Patton, and his few score of va
grant and mendicant followers, would be a
degradation too profound to be imagined.
The people of Alabama are right in declining
to have anything to do with such a concern

In the golden, jeWeled temple of the gorgeous
Soymcne,
Where the smooth and polished masses, fitting
silently, were seen;
Where no sound Of pick or hammer e'er betrayed
the workman's hand;
So, in grand impressive silence, do thy sacred
altaIs stand
Holy silence, ever telling of His power, sublimely
shown,
BY the temples mighty structure growing up
wards from the stone.
Lever, roller, screw and pulley are but symbols of
thy might;
true disciples right
Still, whereer mans iOotstep presses. spread the
doctrines of thy fame;
Firm as everlasting mountains be the pillars Of thy
reign
Wide in mercy, strong in power blending wisdom
Wisdom of the Great Eternal, with the passing
years OF time.

THE RECONSTRUCTION BILL.

The dictatorship bill hangs in the Senate
The radicals rushed it through tue House in
hot haste, but the utterances which are com
ing to them from the North have made them
pause. Some of the most influential Repub-
hcan journals are opposed to this and other
radical measures. They declare that the
party has gone far enough; that the parti-
san object Of these acts is too glaringly man
ifest that its effect will be to drive away
mulhtudes of voters throughout the "loyal !"
States, and to assure the defeat OF the party
ct the next election. All this makes the Re-
pubicans hesitate, but it will not make them
recede. They know that they are beaten in the
North, and that their only chance of success
is in capturing the Southern vote. They are
too deeply committed to the reconstruction
policy to abandon it. Their life depends on
its success. They are in the position of the
man who had the bear by the paws-he could
not hold on very long, but as soon as he
should let 60 he would be eaten up. Natu-
rally, he would hold on as long as possible
So the Republicans Will stick to their recon
st1uction policy till they are shaken of by a
political revolution. In the meantime, they
80 on usurping the functions Of the judiciary
and of the executive until, finally, they will
themselves be involved in O conflict with the
Supreme Court and the President.
