over the record of the Committee on Recon

was chairman, and think the following facts,
which appear therein. will not be without in

cherish the emory Got That eminent states
man and whose confidence in the earnestress
and purity of his Republican principles was
never shaken.
AT meeting of the Joint Committee on Re-
construction Jan. 16, 1896, the sub committee
of five reported to the full committee, tho fol-
lowing alternative propositions, one Of which
to be reported to Congress for adoption.
Article Representatives and direct taxes
shall be appOrtioned among the several States
within this Union according to the respective
numbers of citizens of the United States in
each State; and all provisions in the eonstitu-
ton or laws of any State whereby any distinc-
ton is made in political or civil rights or priv

the second named of these alternative article
was adopted by the full committee as its basi
ofaction, by a vote Of II to 8. ar. Fessendel
voted in the negative, believing and at al
times maintaining, that the first article pre-
scented the true basis upon which Congress
should act. He foresaw at this early day, an

out in the Age. On the whole we think he
has concealed his disappointment better tnan
most OF us could have done, which disappont-

The removal Of Governor Holden of North
Carolina upon his conviction by the Senate of
that State on articles of impeachment is
result unique in The political annals of the
United States. In several cases ludlcial
officers have been removed on conviction by
the United States Senate, but this is the hrst
case. we believe. where high executive { NJ
has been deposed. The remedy was kept
,sr many years, both by the general govern
ment and by the States, as last resort IN
oasas where Judges whose tenure OF Office is
far life aud who are not tried before the great
tribunal of the people at stated intervals, as
executive officers are, have proved corrupt or
incompetent. But since the impeachment Of
President Johnson, though that prosecution
failed, the remedy seems to have become
favorite one in Southern and Western States.
Where it is made use of in a proper manner
there are no objections to it; but we hope
the time is not coming when there will be
such an accumulation OF presidents OF this
kind that it will not become mere matter oil
course for political party having majority
of the Legislature to remove the Governor
and other State officers who happen to be Of
a different political complexion. In the case
OF Governor Holden there seems nothing tC
Justify the proceedings except that the
Conservatives happened to have ma
jority and were disposed to anticipate
the time when they can assume the
full control of that State. That he was
guilty of some indiscretions and tina
some of the agents he employed in repressins
the outbreaks of lawlessness and treason il
North Carolina were reckless and unprinci
pied men, there can be no doubt. But he il
convicted for the llegality of his course in
making use OF the militia; proclaimng mar
tial law and refusing to obey the writ OF ha
beas corpus. Hundreds of outrages hat
been committed and not one was punished OF
could be punished by the courts because of Tho
organized bands that were sworn not only &c
persist in such outrageous conduct but to res.
cue by force or fraud all of their associates
who should fall into the clutches of the law.
Responsible for the enforcement of the laws
Governor Holden met force by force, exertins
himself to the utmost to preserve the peace o
the State and protect the lives of its loya
people. The person who moved the proceed
ings against him in the House of Representa-
tiyes is a member OF the Ku Klux Khan, an,
the movement is TO all intents and purposes
political one. Affairs are indeed in an I'm
pleasant position in the South when Govern
.ors who make any effort to preserve tn
peace are to be got out of the way by impeach
ments set rn foot by criminals who do no
relish their energy and severity.

AN IMPORTANT ELECTION Ohio State
election, in October, will be in some senses the
most representative one of the year. A new
candidate for Governor is to be presented on
each side; the issues will be chiefly national; ;
and aside from the general influence of the re-
suit, as an indication of party strength and
popular division for the presidential election of
next year, something of the chances of the
several hopeful Ohio candidates on the Demo-
cratic side for the presidency, will depend on
the success of their party at this election, or
the margin of defeat which they suffer. The

M. Hector Fabre, editor of LEverment,
Quebec. has recently delivered lecture in
Montreal on the subjdct Of Confederation, In
dependence, Annexation" He took the ground
that Confederation is a failure-that England
understands that the abandonment of the
Provinces is necessity, and is surprised to
find the latter 80 slow in recognizing the fact,
and that independence is shut one step in the
inevitable road to annexation" Without an
nexation Canada can develop her resources or
fulfil her destiny. The Montreal Herald says
the audience was at times most demonstrative
in its expressions OF approval of the sentiments
of the lecturer.
