EDICT AGAINST MILIrARY COMMANDERS

When Gen. Sheridan trampled upon civil
authority, committed gross military insubor-
dination, and ostentGtiously disregarded the
very acts which, as commander of the Fifth
District, he was appointed to execute, Con-
gress impetuously assembled to approve his
irregular conduct and to adopt his violations
of the law as the groundwork of supplement
tary legislation. But when Gen. Buchanan
proceeds to exercise only the rights and f1nc-
tons appertaining to him as district com
mander in virtue Of the several acts under
which he holds his command, bill is hurried
through the House of Representatives for the
express purpose of sustaining, not his pro-
ceedings as in the case of Sheridan, but a
proclamation intended to nullfy those pro-
ceedings issued by an officer of non-existent
State government Truly, as the old pro-
yelb says, circumstances alter cases. The
secret of this contrast is simply this, that
Sheridan was supposed to be acting in accor-
dance with the desires of a radical caucus.
and Buchanan looked for guidance nowhere
but in the terms Of the law and in the requi-
sites TO the decency and dignity of his posi-
ton. The bill which has just passed the
House, not only rescinds his legitimate action
and ratifes the unauthorized action of an
inchoate civil functionary, but it launches a
penal enactment denouncing as felony all
similar conduct in future on his part or on
the part of any other military officer. It
would be ridiculous misuse of language to
call this legislation. 1t is the mere maneuver-
irr, &c IL IL
tionary faction. This faction, having used
the military to lay the foundations of its
negro-radical dominion in the South, is now
prepared to kick them aside, and to put the car
pet bag and the fraudulent and proscriptive
ballot box over the knapsack and the cartridge
box

cept the radical theory of negro suffrage
without declaring a political war against race,
and that to the utterance. For this theory as
sumes thatthere is an uncompromising sntago-
nism on the part of the whites to the rights
and interests of the blacks, and that these
can never be secured in legislation and admin
istration unless the whites are politically and
every otherwise disabled from assailing or
obsIucting them. Hence the obvious ten
dency of those negroes who ere deeply i'm
bued with their radical tuition is, not to be
satisfied with mere civil and political equality,
but to make a deadly struggle for exclusive
and universal power; for supremacy every
where and in all relations; for predominance
in affairs of state and in affairs of business;
for. mastery in religion, in education, in
aInusements and recreations, in social inter
course, and IN the furthest and most sacred re-
cesses and retreats of private and domestic life.
OF course, this is maduess; yet it is nothing
more than the applied logic of radical pre-
eept and example. If the mass of the
Southern negroes should commit themselves
to SO extreme and desperate movement, the
partial and temporary successes which they
might obtain would be purchased at the price
of booming their race TO perdition in this
country. For such movement looks to the
accomplishment of social impossibilities and
the subvelsion of nature. 1t opens war in
which time and numbers, social instincts and
natural laws, are against it. No intelligent
negro who wishes well to his people viii par
ticipate in it; for every intelligent negro must
know that q combination of blacks which
takes advantage of intestine strifes and divis-
ions in far more numerous race, to crush
down that race and crush out its civilization,
would be certain at length to excite reac-
tonary combination fatal to the aggressors
and oppressors.
