The condition of the South is by MO means
rearsuring. There is an evident determine
ton shown in several of the States to intim-
idate colored voters and by the process OF
intimidation 70 secure monopoly Of politi-
cal power to the whites. Riots, With ac-
companyipg murders, are frequent. In
Alabama and Louisiana horrid butcheries
have been perpetrated. The attention of
the President has been called to these out
breaks. and his intervention implored.
1t is important for the people of the South
to be we'll assured that the citizens of the
North. so-called, without any disti1 ction of
parties, are firmly resolved that the blacks
shall enjoy the unrestricted exercise of
their political rights. Every attempt to

one solid mase. If necessary, they will
hold down all rebels against the donstitu.
tional amendments with an iron hand. They
have willed that there shall be civil and
political equality over the land, and will
maintain both against opposers at every
hazard. The expression of desire to
cultivate fraternal relations with the South
ern people does not imply any waver-
ing in relation to these fundamendal prin-
ciples. There is no intention of ga erifcing
what is now embodied in our 0rgshic law
for the sake Of any friendship whatever.
The people will stand by their principles,
first, last and always. They intend that
the black man shall haye fair q hance in
life; that he shall buy and sell, become a
freeholder, build churches schools and col
vote for civil officers or be elected Ito office,
bear arms in the national defense. and be
eligible to promotion for merit. In other
words, We are resolved that he shall be

is Colonel Chesney's hero, and he
lavishes on him every epithet OF
overstrained praise, both as man
and soldier. If he finds something
to criticise in him as q general, be
finds nothing III his personal charact-
ter-not spot, not stain, not one
fault in any part of his career. His
treason to the Union was pure loyal
ty to his State. His clinging to
Scott's staff till the last moment and
his desertion with full knowledge of
the Union commanders plans, are
either passed over or applauded as
proofs of his reluctance to abandon
his old service. The cruelties infict-
ed either by his orders or with his
consent, on Union prisoners, are
not referred to. His adherence to
the right OF secession after his sur
render is eulogized, and the encomi-
um passed upon his political conduct
and influence during the early years
of reconstruction. ignores Gen.
Grants reluctant declaration that
Lee was 'behaving badly''-to say
nothing of the general belief at the
North that he made his Virginia
University nursery of young rebels.
Colonel Chesney's article may be
read from beginning to end without
discovering that the questions at is
sue were of the preservation or dis
tructiOn of the national existence Of
great people, or guessing that the
war was to decide also whether
slavery or freedom should conquer;
and that on both these issues the
sword of Lee was drawn in defence
of the wrong. Colonel Chesney ex-
poets the citizens of the whole Union,
when evil passions sleep in oblivion,
to do justice to the members of the
dead, and to place above all others
the name of the great chief he idol

miration for Lee does not, however,
prevent Colonel Chesney from hearth
ly recognizing the military genius Of
his victorious opponent. The artic-
le on General Grant may not satisfy
that commanders most enthusiastic
admirers, but is a tribute honestly
conceived and very ungrudgingly

read with pleasure even by those
most familiar with the events mar

may be said. They are singularly
lucid and attractive in manner.

There might have been a time
when our judicatory was admirable
when it was peculiarly adopted to
the wants of our people; but that
was before the age of railroads,
telegraphs and fast time. 1t was
when the country was sparsely set
tied, and there was but little COM
mercial intercourse among the peo-
pie, and when there was but little
more legal business to transact in
an entire circuit than is now to be
done in single county.
That was in the days when the
master corrected his servant, and
criminal prosecutions were rare now
times have changed-the colored
man is no longer a slave to be cor
rected and punished for his crimes
and piccadilles by his master, but
free man, and ansWerable to the law
for his offenses, and our courts are
crowded with prosecutions of
character unknown to our fathers,
and unprovided for by them. AS
times and circumstances and condi-
tions, and customs change, the laws
and the methods of their administra-
ton should change so as to preserve
a proper adaptation to their end. 2a
Now what / desire is that our peo-
pie may realize the changes that
have been wrought in their condition.
and the necessity that exists for
some change in the manner of adj
ministering the law in order to keep
pace with the mutation of condition
in circumstance in the people; and
thus that they may determine what
innovation shall be made, and pro-
ceed to make them.
If the plan l have suggested meets
the necessity Of the time. why let it
be adopted. If some other plan
would answer better, let it be adopt
ed.
But, L say, let us at all hazards
do something that will make a sixth
rate county to defray the expenses
of administering public justice at a
less cost than 100000.
