II MHrrARH RyLE AND NEaao DaIusroN.
The prolonged military rule over the
South has bad the effect Of making Gen.
gCanby and other commanders mistake
their duty. Though these gentlemen
may be governed by the best motives,
they are Influenced BY their military
training and ideas. They cannot under
stand that when State has been re-
stored, the civil law should be supreme.
In the trouble ct Richmond, for example,
Gen. Candy should have taken no action
or have assumed no authority but to
suppress insurrection when called upon
by the civil power. In any dispute about
the formality of an election or the right
OF parties to hold Office, he should not
have interfered, but have left that to the
courts. An election to Office is to be
taken as bona JSde fact, though carried
by fraud, till examined and acted upon
BY the proper civil authority. This is
the way such things are managed in the
Northern States, and there is no other
safe way compatible with the laws and
civil liberty.
The same principle applies to Georgia
and Tennessee, though Georgia, not
being yet folly reconstructed, is in rather
an exceptional position. With regard to
Tennessee, State in as perfect relations
with the Union as New York or Pennsyl-
vania, it is preposterous and dangerous
to talk of reconstructing that State or of
placing it under military authority, un-
less in the case of positive insurrection.
If Tennessee can be reconstructed or
placed under military rule, why not New
York. Massachusetts, or any other North
ern State? All the States are on the
same footing. If this infamous practice
were to be admitted, no State would be
safe. Any political party in power could
destroy its political equality. and rights,
and there would be an end to civil liber-
ty. Tins Goyernment would be the most
perfect centralized despotism. No, bet
ter let the factions In the South fight it
out among themselyes;r better let the
races try their strength, even by some
bloodshed. than establish. despotism,
either under the military or q political
oligarchy. The negroes of the South
have acquired oil tue political rights and
privileges of the whites. They ought to
be contented. It is absurd to suppose
that eight or ten millions Of the superior
white race are to be the political slaves
of. or to be controlled by, three or four
millions of semi-barbarians, who hardly
know their right hands from their left.
In any contest the negro must go to the
wall. This is seen in the trouble at Rich
mond and elsewhere. It is positively
cruel In the heartless carpet-bag poll
ticians to lead these poor people to de-
struction. We hope Gen. Grant will ex-
ercise his good common sense in these
Southern troubles. and above all, will
maintain the supremacy Of the civil
laws.-Neao Yorh Herald.
