The Royal Italian Government and
the Roman Democracy.

the Roman Democracy.
The Prefect Of Police in Rome has forbidden
an assemblage Of the people, in the italian
capital, which was called in support Of an
agitation for the advancement of the principle
Of universal suffrage. The royalist official
undertakes to say that the summons for the
meeting is used merely as pretext to cover
designs OF the opposition against the govern
ment of His Majesty King Victor Emmanuel.
This proceeding is, as it appears to us here in
America, Of an exceedingly summary char
acter 1t smacks, also, Of crown suspicion
directed against the loyalty Of portion of the
Roman population, while it savors, at the very
same moment strongly of pretension to
lay power infallibility. A free government
based on the national will, as is claimed for
Italy, should be very chary in permitting
policeman to interfere with the expression of o
popular demand for an extension Of the citi-
zen franchise, while it is certainly not con-
stitutional, nor in accordance with the personal
sentiment Of Ell Re Gualantuomo, to utter a
suspicion of covert treason against any
number, even fraction, of the Italian people.
It is to be hoped that King Victor Emmanuel
win permit the Roman population to say its
citizen wants freely, and that he will not at
tempt to play the part Of Canute by defining
the limit of the wave swell of democracy in
the words, 'thus far shalt thou come, and no
farther"

Tax KING or THE SPASIARps who has been
ailing for some time past is just now invalided
in Madrid by painful attack of rheumatism
and fever. His Majesty passed a "bad night
from Tuesday evening to. yesterday morning.
The announcement Of this fact, by official
medical bulletin, is not calculated to allay the
agitation which prevails in many of the
provinces of Spain, and which will, no doubt,
be rendered still more prevalent and intense
il the Spaniards receive news Of the existence
Of any very general popular excitement in
Franco.

A MERcIFUL DIspENsATroN OF THE ST.
PREME CoURT-Bur WHIT Court of
General Sessions has done efficient SER
vice in years past in the prompt con-
viction and severe punishment inflicted
upon offenders and eninently SO in the cases
Of 'Dutch Heinrich" and "Jacob Rosen-
zweig." There was no question of their guilt,
and this community breathed prayer Of
thankfulness when they learned that the
extreme penalty of the law had been meted
out to each. But it seems that the Supreme
Court at its General Term lately, upon some
technical points presented by the counsel for
the prisoners, reversed the convictions and
ordered new trial in each case without
assigning any reason or giving any opinion.
Heinrich and Rosenzweig will bless the
Supreme Court as the friend of the oppressed,

More OF the President's New Depar>
ture-Civil Law, Peace and Progress.
We learn from Washington, in confirmation
of the reports we have already given our readers
of the new Southern policy of the admins
tration, that, in answer to an application from
the United States District Attorney and the
United States Marshal at New Orleans for the
use of troops in the enforcement of the laws Of
Congress concerning elections the Depart
ment Commander, General Emory, replied,
under positive instructions from the Presi-
dent, that no troops would be furnished as
circumstances then stood, but that the officials
concerned must proceed according to the laws
themselves in the prosecution and punishment
of persons charged with their violation. In
other words, General Grant has determined
that henceforth the maintenance Of law and
order in the South shall be left to the civil
authorities, and that martial law, which indi-
Gates state Of war; shall no longer be the
prevailing law of the reconstructed Southern
States.
This, too, is an important movement in the
right direction. It means that Georgia and
Alabama, restored to their normal relations as
States Of the Union are to have the same
jurisdiction over their local affairs as New
York and New Jersey. In this simple state
ment Of the case it will be perceived how far
this new policy of recognizing, North and
South, the equality of the several States as
members Of the Union, is calculated to recon-
cile the South. Under the continuance of O
military supervision, after the States con-
cerned have fulfilled all the conditions Of,
restoration imposed upon them, and after,
their restoration under these conditions, there
can be no reconciliation. But General Grant,
in removing his troops from the government
Of the local affairs of the reconstructed States,
removes the most serious impediment to the,
re-establishment Of law and order therein.
As suspicion creates distrust, so condolences
begets loyalty, and, while no government hast
ever gained anything by policy based ON sus-t
picion, 80 no government has ever lost any,
thing in policy of generous confidence in itst
people.
A general amnesty covers the same ground.
We cannot fully restore the lately rebellious !
States without fully restoring their lately
rebellious people to the common rights and
equalities of members of the Union. There .
may be but hundred or SO, or less than
dozen If you please, of ex-rebels who are
excepted from the benefits of amnesty but,
many or few, these exceptions make dis

not consent to be his successor. No doubt he
Justly estimates the evils to which his eleva-
ton would be likely to give rise, and he is
resolved to do nothing which could jeopardize
the future Of his country.
The overthrow of the Republic by the Bor-
deaux Assembly was not only possible. but at
one time was seriously contemplated. Adhe-
rents Of the Bourbons made no secret Of their
hopes, and if no attempt has been made in
this direction 1t is because the terrible earnest
ness of the Commune thoroughly frightened
the shop-keeping element Of the nation. The
peasants who had fought Loyalty for their
country learned in the army that a republic
was not the terrible thing they had been
taught to believe it. And the protection and
prosperity they have enjoyed since the procla-
nation Of peace have completely dissipated
the carefully nourished illusion that only
under some form Of despotism could they
find security for their property and the free
enjoyment of their religion. With these pref
udiccs swept away the peasant begins to
desire the continuance of the Republic. which
he perceives is the only form of government
that can protect him from ever-recurring
revolutions Hence we see the republican
candidates elected oil over France, even Brit
tany, the stronghold of Bourbonism, return
