GEN. MEADE.

There is something unusually significant in
the action of Gen. Meade. He Is sent into the
South as O Conservative to carry out what
The National Inteligenccr calls President john
sons great work of constitutional freedom.
Pope, according to the President, was only the
agent of the Radical party, and laborng for
the success of the Republican organization.
Meade is a General of Conservative instincts,
and popularity supposed to be Democrat
Yet, before he is fully warm in his command,
he removes the Governor of Georgia, the State
Treasurer, and a clerk of the Court, besides
giving the support of the military power to
an act of the Convention.
This does not surprise us. Gen. Meade is an
honest, straightforward man, and knows his
duty. He finds certain laws, and he executes
them, not as President johnson desires, but III
accordance with the will of Congress- He
might initiate Hancock-the Presidents second
edition of WashingtOn-and give us Tam
many Hall administration. He might remand
the whole region under his command to the
control of Rebel Courts and reasonable
executive officers. He might very speedily
induce anarchy in his command, and
secure Democratic nomination for some
Office, by reducing the South to a con-
dition of ruin. He could hope for little
from Congress. He saw Sickles degraded be-
cause he stood by reconstruction. He saw
Stanton driven from the Cabinet. lie saw pro-
motions attend the Rousseaus and Changers
promotions that the Senate were willing TO
confirm; so that his professional interests, as
well as the tendencies of his mind, led US to ex-
pect conservative, retrogressve admnistra-
ton.
Gen. Meade has certainly no such purpose.
He will do his duty, whether it pleases the
President or not. And the country will honor
him for his bOldness.

amnesty does not necessarily involve a res
toration of political rights; and it might have
been wise, on Independent grounds, to withhold
the Right of Suffrage temporarily from the lead
ing Robels, as has been done. Yet we doubt
that such exclusion has effected any good pur
pose. What we intended was to repel the idea
of traillcking or bartering Amnesty for Suffrage.
We support each as right and wise in itself,
and not as an offset to the other. Ed
