ing his schoolhouses and exiling his
teachers. If he is wicked, he will not be |
made better br baIiishihg to Liberia his re-
ligious teachers. If the resuscitation of tie
State is desired by his labor, neither will il
be secured by persecution which depopu-
lates townships and prevents tile introdnc-
tion of new labor and of capital. Tie lam
of 1871 has been effective in suppressing for
the present, to great extent, the operations
OF masked and disguised men IN North and
South Carolina. Bills have also been found
by the grand juries in Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi, but comparatively few, if any,
of the defendants in the last named States
have yet been tried. The apparent cessation,
of operations should not lead to the cnuclu
sion that the community would be safe II the
protective measures were withdrawn. These
should he continued until there remains no
further doubt Of the hctnal Suppression and
disarmiag oi the widespread and dangerous
conspiracy. The results of suspending the
writ OF hdbedS corpus in South Carolina
show that where the membership, mss-
teries and rewer- az the -ptFenizatiBn
tate been kept concealed, this is the most,
and perhaps the only, effective remedy for
its suppression; and in view of its cessation
and q resumption of hostililies ~ different
ti,ttes, Of its extent and power, and that in
several Of the States where Ii now exists
the courts have not yet held terpis at which
| the cases can he tried, We recommend that
! the power conferred on the President by the
| fourth section of that act be extended until
the end of the next session Of Congress; In
! view, also, Of the ldrtre nuirber " iiidict-
! ihefits found In the several courts under this
act, which yet remain. Intried, and Of lhe
| evident encourage genleiit derived from the hh-
lief that the present United States Courts
| cannot reach and try them within any
| reasonable time, we recommend such an In
crease of the judiciary OF the United States,
| by districts and circuits, in states shown to
[ bE affected by these disorders, as, in the
! Judgment of Congress will secure speedy and
certain justice to be administered, and leave
nd liop9- iiiipunits to criminals -bF the

THE CONTINUANCE OF DIS SATELLITES
is the only cause not yet considered. Noman
under disabilities has Hvnwed flmself es
either committing or encouraging outrast
for that reason, and no member of the or
ganization has justified their acts on that
ground. 1t is one of the Pretexts made by
those who were willing to urge any plausible
excuse FOR untrages which admit Of none
but to femoTc all alleged impedinients y
local gQrerhiIient eatised by tic eSisterte "
disabilities TO mold office, and being satisfied
that there should be general removal oi
them, with proper conditions and exceptions
we recommend the passage of a law fol
thHt p'rpdsei agreeing IN The feeoiu
mendation made by the President, to eXcludt
from its benefits any great criminals, distin
guished above all Others, for the part thel
took in opposition to the Government II
this connection we wish to say that, rs dis
regard of the Law Has been tile evil so large
ly complained of and so widely extended il
the late insrirrectionafy States, n5 tiicdlh
agement should be given to those who hav
accepted office in defiance of the existenc
of these Constitutional disabilities, or hav
elected to office men whom they knew to b
excluded by them. ,-- .-rs
