the infamies Of construction IL may be
hoped their respect for what is indisputably
right viii lead them, in their triumph, to
release the southern states from negro rule
sustained by military despotism.
Brownlow will not favor the removal Of
political disabilities from the confederates
Of Tennessee. SO writes n correspondent
in that state ofone of the most prominent
republican newspapers in the country. In
this, the governor and legislative agree.
They suppose the result of the presidential
election has given them power 10 rule in
whatever lawless and corrupt fashion may
please them. They will retain this idea
unless the press of the republican party re-
Dukes them for it in such a manner that
they will understand that the sweeping dis
franchisment of white men in that state
will not be countenanced outside Of the
State. SO, also, Of Missouri. The party
in power is a minority party. II rules by
fraud and force, as all such parties must do
in n republican form Of government
The p%retence that the safety Of the nation
demands negro rule and white disfranchise-
ment, is an absurdity Of which it is difficult
TO speak respectfully. The exact truth on
this subject ought TO be admissible in pub
lie discussions and tho exact truth with
regard to that p~retence is, that il is o lie as
patent and notorious ~ the truth that the
confederates learned in the war, that they
could not cope with the superior numbers
and resources Of the northern states. They
know they must be obedient 10 the govern
ment, because they know the government
can compel obedience. When Lee, with
his half-armed and half-starved force ofbut
little moro than thirty thousand men, sur
rendered TO the grand army of Grant, on
the north, and Of Sheridan, on the west,
and Of sherman, on the south, the south
erners knew that no choice was left them
as regards obedience to the government.
Any policy or act setting on q different as
sumption is at war with facts as plain in
this country as that daylight and darkness
follow each other.
II Grant wants peace, lot him tell con
gress that, in dabbling with Virginia, Mis-
sissippi, and Texas, he wants 30 much Of
decency observed as will permit the peo-
pie of those states TO govern themselves.

held ten days; afterward at Whitehall
and kept four days, and again in Troy
where twenty days detention had the
same final result of discharge. Young
went to New York, and found that he
had jumped from the frying pan into the
fire; for detective (who was fool enough
at first to try clairvoyant about it, got
into Young's confidence, and found where
the bonds were buried. The spot about
twenty miles from Shoreham was visited
