itary despotisnl. Certainly if no valid
State law protected these people, there was
at least federal law which ought to have
protected them; for over every foot of that
territory, and over every individual that
inhabits it, the great fundamental law of
the Constitution of the United States pre-
walls in all its vigOr, and gives to every one
OF them every privilege and every immu-
nifty which it extends to the Amer
lean citizen anywhere and every
where. With this Constitution, then,
fully in force over all that territory and
all those people, where does Congress find
its warrant for supplanting legal State
government with military government?
Where does Congress find its warrant in
/ time of peace to suspend the habeds corpus,
to take away the inestimable privilege of
trial by jury, to remove the civil officers of
a State and substitute Federal officers in
| their places, and finally to try. to condemn,
| t } punish, to imprison, to hang these people
for civil offenses or pretended offenses by
the Judgment of a military court? Where
| does Congress find its warrant in the Com
stitutiOn for State, by voters of its own
creating, to pass a suffrage law for State?
Where does it find authority to say who
shall vote and who shall not vote in State
elections? Lastly, where does it find au-
| thority to make new class of citizens, and
Ito give to that class of citizens greater
rights than were ever conferred before by
the Constitution upon any class, and to take
away from those who always enjoyed the
rights of citizenship. the most precious
of these rights? Gentlemen, I haze been at
| the bar for nearly half century, and haze been
a constant student not only of the common la,o,
but of our own constitutional laao, and do not
hesitate to sag that the aoltote of the reconstruc-
ton acts of Congress, from beginning to end first,
second and third the series, are urconstitutton
al and uotd. There are times when to be si-
lent is unfaithful. There are times when
men must speak out. L will not attempt to
school myself into reticence upon these
great questions, and could not if would.
And now, my Democratic friends, you see
| the reason why am here, and why your
committee has confided in me so far as to
ask me to respond to one of the sentiments
on your programme. 1t is enough for me
| to know that upon the great questions of the
day, and upon the great issues that are to
| be fought during this year, we have at last
come together. Twenty years ago, if L
had been told the time would come when

The CAPITAL QUEsTIoN.-Nothing
was d. ne with the Capital question
yesterday in the House OF Delegates.
Ii came up as the unfinished business
upon Mr.. Armstrong; motion to take
from the table MIR. Blair's motion 10
reconsider the vote by which the bill
was lost last Friday. Mr.. Armstrong
withdrew his motion, so that the mo-
ton to reconsider sleeps upon the table.
The question is in abeyance for the
present, the friends of the bill waiting
with hope of making such accessions
as will enable them to carry the motion
to reconsider and to pass the bill.
THE President of the United States.
according to Mr.. Browning, as an in
ducement to one OF his subordinates 10
viOlate the law, promised to pay the
fine out OF his own pocket and to remit
the imprisonment by his pardoning
power. What would Jackson have
said to subordinate who would have
offered to violate the law If the Presi.
dent would pardon him after convic.
ton? But in this case the promise OF
exemption from penalty is held out by
the President to induce the subordinate
TO commit the crime.
or piece with this proceeding il
the Presidents offer to General Sher.
man. The President has propose tc
confer upon the Lieutenant General
the rank of Brevet General. This
is done for the purpose of forcing
the Senate TO abolish the distinctive
honor of the rank of Generality
making II common, or of offending
General Sherman. The President has
made mistake. It is pretty certain
that General Sherman would resent Tho
attempt to detract from Grants rank as
General" by having the brevet con
ferred upon himself, as heartily us hC
would resent having each of the Major
or BriGadier Generals of the army made
IL Lieutenant General by brevet. Grant
is General, and sherman Lieutenant
| General. Neither is jealous OF the 9TH
er. Each enjoys his rank exclusively.
| a brevet will not increase Sberman's
fame, though it will lesson the exclu.
siveness of Grants rank. The offer to
| Sherman is bride. 1t is offered for
the purpose OF creating breach be.
tween the two soldiers, and is; there
fore, malicious and villainous.

Alabama All Right.

From dispatch in our news COL
umus this morningi it will be seen that
the full vote of Alabama shows that the
Constitution has been ratified and State
officers elected. This will probably
render unnecessary the fifth edition of
the reconstruction measures which it is
given out Mr.. Bingham was to bring
out this week.
Thus the car of reconstruction on the
basis of loyalty and equal rights moves
resistlessly on over every obstacle, and
