EEs An Es,.

The new President of France, Mar
shall MacMahon, has been very sllc-
cessful in preserving peace and quiet
and "moral order since his accession
to Office Thus far not the slightest
disturbance has been reported, a fact
that excites as much surprise as
qualification.
But efforts to weaken the power OF
the new President, if not to oust him
from Office, have not been wanting.
The Ia of these efforts occurred on
Tuesday last, when II. Gambetta read
III the National Assembly Il Ministerial
circular, dated the 4th Of June,
and addressed to the departmental
projects.
In this circular particular informa-
ton was asked for, i'll respect to the
condition and temper of the provincial
press, and the suggestion was made
that wherever possible the country
newspapers be bought up and all
other means be employed to obtain
their support for the Government
The Minister Of the Interior admitted
that the circular was authentic tu-
multuous debate followed, and finally
motion supporting the A1ministra-
ton in this act was passed by a vote of
369 to 315 nays-a larger vote than
that by which the MacMahon govern
ment came into power.
This decided vote shows, beyond a
doubt, that the famous coalition has
lost none of it's strength, at least i'll
the National Assembly, even if it be
true that the anomalous combination
between Bourbons and Orleanist5 and
Bonapartists is sustained by nothing
save the cohesive power of public
plunder.
The strategy Of President MacMahon
smacks very much of the American
style of securing the permanency of
al Administration.
The new President evidently knows
how to place the funds Of the French
people "where it will do him the
| most good,' as well as how to use the
bayonet.
With the Army at his command and
an unlimited supply of Military Com
missions; with the power to displace
every official in France; !; with the
Treasury funds ready buy up the press
of the country, and with full deter
mination to use all his resources, the
chances seem to be that President
MacMahon viii be able, not only to
keep the coalition in the National
Assembly together, but to maintain
himself before the French people.

KELLOGG AND GRANT.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune has recently had an interview
with Governor Kellogg, of Louis
lana, and of course has printed all that
His Excellency said to him. It seems
that the Governor has been telling
tales out OF school, in reference to the
Presidents Proclamation ordering all
disorderly and turbulent persons to
disperse. Kellogg says that "it was
not his idea at all to call upon the
President for Federal bayonets, and
thinks that the state of affairs in Lou
lsiana did not jnstify it, but g his
friends i'll Washington urged him to
call upon the President for help. Mr..
Packard was in favor of it." 's All
these things" said the Governor .
and the constant reports sent North
OF disorder, was used to injure tie
President ; and SO he finally consented
to give the President an opportunity
to place the troops directly at his dis
posal, and stop all hue and cry"
So it seems that President Grant is
more anxious to fasten the Kellogg
usurpation apon the people of Louis
ina than Kellogg himself The Presi-
dent was, doubtless, correct in sup
posing the condition of affairs in Lou
isiana was adding nothing to his repu-
tation, but he has not mended matters
by his proclamation, as is shown by
the fact that Kellogg finds it too heavy
Il load carry.
1t is much to belloped that Kellogg
will go on with his revelations until
the VII ole truth shall be told.

PRESIDENF1AL PKsER<OG ALIVE.
sEggH s,E GROWS.

The Modocs killed Candy and the
Oregon Volunteers killed the Modocs,
and the President has another oppor-
tunity to stretch his prerogative. The
Modocs, says the Attorney-General,
are liable to the penalties attaching to
prisoners of war. Ii this be SO they
are certainly entitled to the CORES
ponding immunities. One Of the last
is protection to their persons.
But there is no statute making it a
crime to kill a prisoner of war. 1t
follows therefore, if the position OF the
Attorney General be correct, that tie
act is one Of those offences against the
Common law of war; which can be
tried by military commission. Here is
another chance for Grant to stretch
the presidential prerogative. VIII lie
DO it?
IF the question Of abstract justice
without regard to the authority by
which it shall be administered be
alone considered, there can be 10
doubt that the murderers of the
Modocs deserve death as certainly as
do the murderers OF Candy. In each
case the killing was pure assassination,
ld-blooded murder, accompanied by
the basest treachery.
How useful precedeuts are and how
quickly they operate! The hanging OF
Wirz and Mrs. Suratt, by military
commission, authorizes the hanging OF
the Modocs; the hanging of the
Modocs will authorize the hanging of
the Oregon Volunteers, and the
hanging OF the!Oregon Volunteers by
military commission will authorize the
hanging OF any other man in the land.
There is nothing equal to it outside
of the pathetic story of the house
that Jack built 1t is apparent that
had 1.-THE house that Jack built" never
been built, the long series of sequence
that followed never would have
followed.
In that story everything is carried
back to " the house that Jack built. .
In the Attorney Generals story every
thing is referred back to the power OF
the Government that hung Mrs. Sur
ratt. Had the law never been violated
by the appointment of the first mill
tary commission, the confusion of the
present day would not have come upon
us. One crime leads to another almost
invariably.
But it is said that the Attorney.
General is an expectant of the place
made vacant by the death of Chie1
Justice Chase, and it is s,lrmised that
his recent opinion is a bid for it. And
we very much fear it will be success
full bid, knowing the Presidents inor,
dinate fondness for stretching his
prerogative. It will be very conven
lent thing for President OF the
United States, who desires to make
himself independent of the Constitu
tion. to have in the seat Of the Chic
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States man who IS opposed
to the doctrine IS laid down by tha
tribunal in Milligan's case.
In this connection it may be- wei
enough to say that the Philadelph;'
Age has taken occasion to define it,
position with more accuracy, and tina
it now says, "there is no more pIo
priety in trying Captain Jack in 1
military commission than in trying
him by an Ecclesiastical Court of tn
Church of which the Rev. DR.. Thoma
was member"

and lay what he says in. reply to
Brownlow's charges, before our read
ers:
The Reverend Mr. Brownlow has
| recently published an article i'll the
Knoxville Chronicle, bringing certain
charges against the editor of the
Southern Home There is not SEN
tence in that article which is not di-
rectly false, or which does not convey
falsehood by implication. I will
only notice few of these wicked
ibels. Thus he prudently fails to
quote what I did say about General
Candy and others, and puts his own
Interpretation upon language never
used. He himself was not denounced
for his loyolty, but for betraying the
men he had seduced into the field and
then urging his old enemies to sla,Igh-
ter them for being guided by his
. teaching. Again, he falsely accused
me of misleading and coercing men
into rebellion. No human being can
charge me with teaching either pro-
slavery or secession doctrines prior
to 1861. On the contrary, there
are living witnesses to prove
that [ warned the hot-bloods that
they were rushing into long and
disastrous war. When my countrymen
did take up arms, however, [ cast in
my lot with them, and have never once
regrett I'd that I did so. It was the
Rev. Mr.. Brownlow himself that misled
and coerced men into rebellion. I will
show, presently, that he was the first
man ever to use the words Southern
Confederacy, and to advise its estab-
lishment. A 5liird gross falsehood is,
that twenty-six loyal men were hung
by my orders, one morning before
breakfast. This is made out of the whole
cloth. 1t was never my lot to order
either the shooting or hanging of de-
serters OF loyal men. At no time dur
ing the war would 1 have willingly
hanged more than one deserter. That
desertc<' I would have cheerfully
hanged to ''sour-apple tree not be-
cause of his loyalty to the Union, but
because he urged the "hell- bound
party" Ito use his own elegant Ian
guage) to slaughter the men he had
inveiglcd into rebellion. That deser-
ter, however, kept himself safe behind
the hattlemcnts at Washington, and
thanked God devoutIy for every fresh
slaughter OF his late deluded followers.

GEN. ID. be. HILL.

The New York Times says "the
JOURNAL is another of those fine dis
criminators who are able 10 see such
vast difference twixt tweedledum and
tweedledee. In it's eyes Senator
Brownlow is 'blackgunrd' III his
vigorous repulse of Gen. Hills assaults
upon him, but Hill, il making the
uncalled-for assault, only used plain,
honest English words.
If the Times had failed to take adj
vantage Of such an opportunity to take
sides against q prominent Southern
soldier, it wonId have been the first
time, doubtless, that it so failed. Ia
any controversy between General Hill
and Brownlow the natural instincts of
the Times would force il TO take posi-
ton in the ranks of the latter.
The Times has fallen into at least
one error in regard to the position of
the JOURNAL. 1t was not solely be-
cause of his letter to General Hill that
the JOURNAL spoke of Brownlow RS a
blackguard, but because, by life
time of disreputable words and deeds,
he had fairly earned the tlisgraceful
appellation.
Neither the Times nor any other
human power can make Brownlow
appear in any other character than that
of blackguard, where he is SO well
known, as he is in North Carolina and
Tennessee.
No charges brought by Brownlow
against General Hill or against any
other respectable man would have the
slightest weight, and it was therefore
entirely unnecessary for General Hill
to take any notice of the matter. but
as he has seen fit to give it SO much
importance, we yield our own opinion

KIND WORDS FOR OUR SGZTE5g-
EEeN DEAD.

Dr. LillIenthal, the we'll known jew
ish pastor of Cincinnati, on decoration
day, was called on to deliver the ora
ton OF the occasion i'll view of the
F. deral dead. While thoroughly
Union, the address is leavcncd by Il
truly kindly, and, as some would say,
"Christian" feeling for our "dcad Con
federates," and for the people OF the
South. Among other good things the
doctor said "NOt one of us all enter
tains the least intention of humiliating
our Southern brethren We love them,
and have loved them even during the
bloody fratriciiaI war. We honor
their clIiyalrous spirit, their indomit-
able courage. We admire the names
of Lee, Stuart, Jackson, Johnston and
others. Are they not flesh from our
fit sh, bone from our bone? We pity
their widows and orphans, too, for
they are our bretlren-Our American
brethren. We DO not wish to humble
them. We say to them, with our
Longfeilow: Let the dead past bury
its dead We say, with our good and
wise Lincoln: with malice to none,
with charity for ALL let us do right,
as God understands it and over the
graves of our fallen brethren let us re-
new our filial allegiance to our com
mon flag and our common country.
We in the North wish to bury in eter-
nal oblivion the past hatred, the past
feud. Let those down in the South
follow our example,"

SANTANA AND BIG TREE.

Governor Davis, of Texas, has
yielded 10 the orders or to the blan-
dishments OF the President and has
consented to release the Indian Chiefs
HOW IL the penitentiary of that State
President Grant mas is full swing in
this country as Kaiser William has in
Prussia. State laws and State lines
are mere cobwcbs in his patti.
1t suited his "policy" to promise
the Comanches and Kiowas that if they
would be good Indians and behave
themselves for certain length of time,
he would release their chiefs then in
Jail for indulging in the traditional In
dian amuscmentS of murder and rob-
berry, on Texan soil. 1t mattered not
to the President that he had not q
shadow Of right under the laws and
Constitution, to make such promise :;
it mattered not to him that if Santanta
and B:g Tree should be released it
would be against the unanimous wish
of the people of Texas. He cares no
more for the wishes of the people in
peace, than he cared for the lives of his
men in war.
The promise was made, and in due
time its fulfllment by the Governor of
Texas was demanded. The Legisla-
ture of that State passed a resolution,
by a unanimous vote of each house, if
we III stake not, asking the Governor
not to grant the pardon. But it mat
tered not. The President renewed his
call for the surrender of the criminals,
and the Governor of Texas disregard
ing the unanimous voice of his consti-
tuents, yields to the behests Of his
master Grant.
OF such stuff are Governors now

Guent notice in the public journals of
