An important bill has been introduced
10 the House Of Representatives, says the
Republicans Washington special, by Mr..
Kerr Of Indiana, to give the right Of ap,
peal 10 habeas corpus cases from the 6nal
judgment Of the United States circuit
courts to the supreme court Of the United
States. The bill is intended to re enact
the law which, on March q, 1868, was
repealed iu order to keep the McArdls
and like cases out Of the supreme court,
and that for the further purpose of pro
venting these laws from being tested or
condemned by the supreme court Now
NO appeal lies to the supreme court in
any case involving personsi liberty. It
is thought it is time for such an appeal
to be amended.

Gen. J. E. Johnston has written an
able letter on the politics of the times.
He depicts in strong and truthful colors
the terrible condition Of the South, the
dishonesty Of Federal officials, the cor.
ruption existing everywhere in high
places, the enormities of the bayouet
rule, the mserios Of an unprecedented
taxation, and the almost absolute ruin of
every pecuuiary interest if such admin
is,ra,iou Of affairs continues for four
years longer. lie sees but one hope fer
the South, that Of the triumph of the
Liberal Republicans, and but one hope
for triumph-thst Of complete passivis,n
on part of the Democracy. Such an
expression of sentiments from the mos,
gallant, fearless and successful Confedsr-
ate leader lieing, is worthy Of attention.
and will undoubtedly have . powerful
inaueuce.-Columbia Herald.

The Passive Policy In WASHINGTON,

Our special Washington dispatch states
that at the Democratic congressional
caucus last night there was au expression
favorable to the Passive Policy $50 far
As national politics are concerned" The
dispatch adds: mo movement looking
to any coalition or conference for the
next national convention was made"
The truth is, whatever expression Gas
had, outside Of q consideration Of mat.

Of tho Democratic party 10 our national
councils aro favorable to the Missouri,
or passive policy, yet we would bo de-
ceiving our readers not to tell them, ut

called to act upon this question, anl that
the Democratic congressman have not
assumed, - will bo charged, to dictate
to the party through the agency Of close
caucus. Nevertheless, their voice is en-.
titled to due weight US coming from men
enjoying good opportunities to scan the
whole political situation, and 1t possesses
great value as indicating the sentiments
Of prominent individuals possessing III
huence IN their respective localitses. 1t
Is, so ia. as national politics are con.
cerned," that the passive policy chiefly
applies. We have repeatedly explained
that 1t signifies no abandonment by the
Democracy Of advantages already at
tained. or readily attainab.e. Its mean
ing is conclssly stated by the Chicago
Times. 1t docs not contemplate ar
abandonment Of the Democratic party
organization, bu, simply a Withdrawal OIL
