SUNSET Cox is still on the war path. Since
his disappearance from the State he has en-
gagged himself to help along the campaign in
Pennsylvania. He spoke in Philadelphia on
the 10th-in Harrisburg on Saturday, and is
to labor sedulously till the election in that
State We are glad to be assured of the fact
The Republicans Of Pennsylvania should be
especially grateful. We believe that Mr.. C's.
efforts in this State helped the Republican
cause. To the themes on which he discoursed
the Republicans naturally turned their atten-
tion-and the result was, the fallacy of his ar
guments became obvious and of course his su-
perstructure fell to the ground.
1t was so with the other speakers that
swarmed into the State. How much Mr.. PEN
dleton aided us! His destructive theories were
thoroughly searched, and after he had advanc-
ed them, their dangerous tendencies were seen
in a much clearer light than though he had
not advocated them.
In this way, these foreign speakers on that
side, were a great help to us. They enlighten-
ed the people to the wickedness Of their polit-
cal plans,-they caused Republican speakers
to follow and expose them, it may be fair to
say, that the aid received to our canse from
their speakers was by no means insignificant
and we feel bound to acknowledge il. 1t was
meant for our harm, but it was turned to our
good.
1t is with pleasure therefore that we hear of
Mr.. Cox in Pennsylvania. We trust nothing
will withdraw him from the stump till the
election is over. 1t is good thing to have
| able speakers in just cause-and it is good
| also to have the tongue of our enemies to aid
the right side. Go on Messrs. Cox Pendleton
& Co., and we shall confidently expect to
learn that the right is triumphant in Psnnsyl-
vania as in Maine.

The New York Sun has the following ac-
count of curious and somewhat important
conversation:
well-known gentleman of this city was
eonversing with General II. z. Blair, Jr, not
con, lons since, upon the power of Congress to re-
iuct the South. General Blair warmly
maintained that the Reconstruction laws were
uMieoHscl MN! ltutlonal, and that there was no au-
y ,nority IN the National Government to endOw
nuerod with the elective franchise in the con-
quered States. "You are mistaken said his
iTiehd; The Supreme Conrt has fnllv decided
by Congress" power eNo'0''eU
How SOP" asked the General. 81 never
heard of any such decision"
81 will give you the points" was the answar
Il. The Supreme Court has decided that
the National Government has the same riobts
and powers as regards the States lately in re-
belliOn as it would have toward States or Ter
ritOries conquered in war with foreign
power.
II. The Supreme Court decided years ago
that in New Mexico, which We had Just then
conquered in the war with Mexico, the orders
of Gen. Kearney, the Military Governor OF
that Territory, had all the force OF law and
must be obeyed as such.
III. Among these orders of Gen. Kearney,
III New Mexico, was the code of laws which he
promulgated some time about 1847, by which
the right of suffrage was conferred upon all
males OF lawful age, Uithou distinction Of color,
negroes included.
Nv. This code, which was thus imposed on
New Mexico by the military power, the Su-
preme Court decided TO Re the rightful law of
the Territory, until it should be set aside by
express act Of Congress.
". The apparent author of this negro suf-
irage code was Francis z. Blair, Jr., whose
name was attached to it as Attorney General
of the Territory"
That's true" responded General Blair, "but
didn't suppose any id black Republican

ALBERT PIKE, after thoroughly violating
law, is to come North and practice it. The
New York Tribune gives him this cordial
greeting:
And II, the "OId Arkansas Gentleman" has
bacome a earpet-bagger. General-Editor-P
Albert Pike, the glory of Arkansas, the pride
Of tennessee, the hero of ten thousand bloody
fields, the writer OF any number of unread
poems, the editor of a newspaper of limited
Circulation, casts off his feet the dust of Mem
phis, and comes to Washington Ito practice
law" The renowned Pike, as carpet-bagger,
is very solemn spectacle. We advise him,
however, to continue his journeyings and come
to New York. This would serve him two pur-
poses. Firstly. he would find more carpet
baggers here than in any other city IN the
country; and secondly, should he lind the law
business dull, he can enter the service OF the
and draw crowded houses nightly as the singer
of "The Old Arkansas Gentleman"
