The Enforcement Act is the nos.
potent instrument for controlling cleo
tions which has ever been framed. It's
sweeping provisions have received
such sweeping constructions by the
Administration that they can be made
to cover almost any Case. or to accom-
pllsh almost any purpose. Hundreds
or citizens IN Louisiana uud Alabama
have been arrested aud dragged in
irons hundreds of miles from their
homes on charges which. even if true,
would deprive the infamous statute Of
all jurisdiction. But true or false,
right or wrong. every purpose is an
swered. The Democrats are intimi-
dated and kept away from the polls,
and the Republicans are at liberty to
employ every species OF fraud which
will insure the triumph of their party.

nal suits will coon be entered by the
trustees Of the Freedman's Savings
and Trust Company against the board
OF finance audothers of the bank, who
either permitted it to be piundered or
shared in the work themselves. For
prudential reasons. the names OF par
ties who are to be proceeded against
are withheld, but it is understood that
among them are number Of men who
were prominent in the late government
Of this district. Upwards OF $780,
600 were taken from the deposits
OF the bank and loaned upon what
is now shown to have been worthless
securities. The charter of the insti-
tuition. which was drawn by the late
Senator Sumner. provides that loans
snall only be made upon Government
bonds aud unencumbered renl estate
n the District Of Columbia. Il ap-
pears that this was steadily violated by
the finance board, which had supervi-
sion OF all loans. Nearly all the de-
positors were of the poorer classes,
laboripg men and hard working wo.
men, and great suffering will follow
the failure Of the bank to pay. Thos.
best acquainted with its affairs say,
under most favorable circumstances, 1t
will not be able to pay twenty cents on
this dollar"

No one. says the Union. Rerahl, can
study the signs of the times, feel the
pulses of the people, listen to their
quiet talk. without being satisfied that
thousands of Republicans, especially
among the colored men, will prefer to
trust to the justice of Maher, or the
naagnanimity of Kershaw, rather than
to again follow the lead of so corrupt
and dangerous man as Moses. If this
ss trae as regards Moses, it is also true
OF any one who belongs to the ring of
politicians who have brought all the
troubles upon the State which these
quiet citizens feel go aoutely. 1t is
not the pressure of the power for evil
of one man that is 80 severe and
harassing. The grievance is not indi-
vidusl, except in go far as he is repre-
sentative. It is of the system, the
organized brigandage, which has been
established over them. Any ono man
who represents it is no more objection
able than another who does. The
thousands of Republicans can get no
reiief by changing from one to another
OF the same class. They must havo in
the character, record and present posi-
tion OF the person who proposes to
overthrow corruption and introduce O
better state of things. guarantees that
he has the will and the ability to serve
them and the country. How much
better would it be for them to turn
their regards in good earnest to those
quarters where unexoeptionable men
can be found? The colored people
hare been twitted in the address Of
tho Radical State Committee as the
oaen who are chiefly accountable for
the degradation Of tho State and the
ruin Of it's great interests. The leaders
have aought to throw the blame of
their own shoulders, and placs it upon
those of their dupes and victims. The
best answer to the accusation is to re-
pcdiate their leadership, and in throw
ing them overheard, to strike at the
foul organization which only exists to
deceive it's adherents and prey upon
the public funds. It is infallibly GER
tain that if they trust Maher's justice,
or Kcrshaw's magnaninity, they will

The resemblance which tho Union
Herald would like to trace between the
Freedman's Bank, OF Washington, and
the Citizens Savings Bank, ut Colum-
bia. does not exist in fuct. What
either will pay the depositors remains
yet to be seen. Tue possibility of
paying anything on tho part of the
former is due, if we are not mistaken,
to the action of disinterested parties,
who have protected the freedmen
against those who, par e.eceHence,
claimed to be their friends. The Citi-
zens' Saving, Bank has already paid
twenty-five cents in the dollar, and
has ordered twelve-nnd.a O half cents
more to be paid on the 1st of Septem-
ber. One of the causes Of it's embar-
rassment is due to the failure of the
South Carolina State Government to
pay an important claim that it has
against it. It was directly and strongly
affected in it's solvency and strength
by the bankrupt condition of the
State. If there has been any mis-
management on the part of those in
charge of it's affairs, (and we don't
know that there has been,) no imputa-
tion that we know of has been made
upon their integrity. The allusion to
the names of a distinguished Confede-
rate General and of his successor are
particularly unjust. Not the slightest
stain rests upon them. AS to the
financial troubles OF the bank, they
were, no doubt, due principally to the
''panic," which struck it inoppor-
tnnely, delivering its whole force in
this place on this one banking institu-
ton. Others. perhaps, were saved by
it., or relieved at least. There is no
likeness that We can see between it and
the Freedmen's Bank, except, per-
haps. that each, to its sorrow, credited
the Government or Government Off
cials where it was located-the one the
General Government ut Washington,
the other the State Government Of
South Carolina.

Have newspapers any conscience?
is as interesting O question as whother
corporations have souls. We think a
good deal could be said on both sides,
and il is, therefore. fit theme to be
illuminated by debating societies. We
ere inclined to take the affirmative,
bat find ourselves much staggered
occasionally by the naughty and con-
tradictory utterances of some of tho
journals which We read. The New
York Herald, few days ago, rung the
changes upon war and peace, repre-
aanting that the State OF Mississippi
hung upon the verge of civil war. In
seeking for tho causes of this infam.
matory condition, it fixed with alacrity
upon the resuscitation OF the fatal
spirit OF secession as the chief. From
this standpoint, it dealt out to the
Mississippians its warnings and lee.
tures. charging them with lack of the
wisdom which should seek to win the
negro's love and kindness by tho frank
concession of all his rights. It was
noticeable. all the while this tea pot
tempest was raging. that President
Grant did not lose his equipoise. The
more loudly the Governor called for
troops to occupy Vicksburg and regu-
dste its municipal election, the less he
heard, and thus frst-class row was
avoided. The election came of and
was unusually quiet. forty colored
votes being cast for the white ticket.
And now, after all its newspaper thun-
der, it's secession and Ku Klux ghosts
wherewith to fright the souls of fear
ful Mississippians, the Herald roars
you gently as a sucking dove in the
following palpable non sequitur: "rhe
Vicksburg election passed of so quietly
that nobody will be able to make ont
why there should have been any fran.
tic cries for troops or even suggestion
of possible trouble" There will be
lthe same difficulty to understand the
He'alds unfounded bloody apprehen-
sions and fateful premonitions. unless
~e strain the conclusion that they
arose from concern for State Which,
AZ it says, has escaped many of the
scandals of its sister Southern States.

soming Of Jail birds into fnll-blcwn
Snlera." While it disports itself
with the Brooklyn sorrow and INDUCES
it's kitten-like and varied humor on
the third term, we are vastly enter
tanned; but We beg it not to give any
aid and comfort to those parties,
North and South, who are ever ready
to oiadulge suspicious against the peace
able inclinations Of the Southern peo-
pie. That is jest which they are
only too ready to turn into an injury. :.

1ILToN vs.. TILroN. The testim ony
Of Mrs. Tilton before the Plymouth
committee, some extracts from which
We published recently, may or may
not suffice to exculpate her from the
crime alleged against her by her hus.
band. But if it's details of his treat
ment of her for years are true, Mr..
Tilton, right or wrong in his charges
against Beecher, can expect no sym.
pathy from the public. A man who
makes his home such place of tor.
ment to his wife that she seeks the
graves OF her children for shelter
might be charitably supposed to be q
lunatic if he had not shown such
method in HE madness. Or course, it
is impossible to know whether Mrs.
Tilton's story Of the brutalities prao-
ticed upon her by her husband is true
or false, but, as he has volunteered the
statement that she is the most "white-
souled woman" he ever know, he oan.
not complain, if he expects the public
to believe what he says in that regard,
that it should also believe what she
says of him. She certainly does not
return his compliment, but leaves q
strong impression on the reader that
the color of Mr.. Tilton's soul is the
reverse of "white."
