THE reorganization of the Senate yes
tcrday, in accordance with the prescribed,
simple forms, was effected without excite
ment although, as an incident which is
not ofordinary occurrence, il attracteim much
curious attention. No more satisfactory as
surance Of the durability Of our Govern
mcnt cun be found than that which is DEM
onstrated by such an occurrence. Although
ii was in reality a change Of greatest i'm
portancc in the political aspect Of the rep
resentation in the Senate Of many of the
States, it was accomplished with less dis
quiet than ordinarily attends similar de
posal Of members Of Church society.
Familiar faCcs-faces that have been fl-
miliar for half gcneration-have been re-
placed by new ones, and the personnel of
the body has suffered marked alteration,
but with the smooth working of our great
governmental system il will not be long
before the losses we now regret will be
fully compensated by the gains in store
for us

10 be true and lust wins more in the long run
than the hating, waveriuE, trimming study OF
Temporary expediency. This was not primarily
question Of political policy at all-lt was ques-
on Of public safety and of fair protection to the
Union men OF the South. 1t was o question Of
immon humanity and national justice. We be
lleye that no man who intelligently and candidly
examines the condition Of things in the South to-
day and makes himself acquainted with the real
facts can DOUBT that a great danger hangs over
our country, and especially over the loyal men Of
peated and violent revolutions In Louisiana; the
fraudulent seizure Of government In Alabama;
the preparation Of bloody massacres In Arkan-
sas; and through all these States the political
organization Of the White League, armed,
equipped and drilling with the aVOWed purpose
Of capturing every Southern government through
the agencies Of the torch, the bludgeOn and the
bullet!
With this danger and menace. we would have
faced them bold and firmly just as the country
met the similar but less grave peril Of 1871. The
fore. 1t had crushed out the murderous Ku-RIux
until our hesitation and Democratic successes
warmed them into new life. We had only to take
the old law, re enact Its provisions, and In the
same way suppress this new danger. That is
what the Protection bfll did. It was the Ku-
klux act over again-the same weapon for slm-
liar crisis. Everybody admits that Il saved the
Union men and did q grand work before-eyery-
body would have been convinced In the same way
now. But the spirit OF the party had relaxed.
Men fnltered. Its enemies gave the bill bad
name. Msny friends didn't step 70 fiId out what
Il WAS And the result Is that every White
Lacquer 10 encouraged, every Union man 10 the
South Is in dread, and we know not what is before

The late hour at which the Republican State

voted against the party then, on some trivial or
trIalng local cause, have awakened TO the fact
that any departure from the Republican RACKS is
hut struggling into the camp Of treason. And
therefore o general movement to reform the line OF

not say that this is nspirting and that gives
promise Of q return to that stern resolve, by all
our people, that the cause Of the nation shall not
be either betrayed or FILTERED away in the time

toned the G; raj d usurpatiOl in Arkansas,
Vance proposes to repudiate the reconstruc-
ton acts as applied to the CONSTITUTE N OF
North Carolina. This one act of tho House
in the Arkansas case, done during the clos
ing hours of the session, without due con-
slderation of all the questions and contin-
gencies involved, will be productive OF
more injury to the peace and quiet OF the
Southern States than the failure to pass
the bill to Protect Electors, because the
White LeaguerS will take advantage OF the
precedent thus unwittingly established TO
overthrow the reconstructed constitutions
and re establish the peculiar governmental
systems which enabled them to maintain
State Rights and secession political organi-
cations before the war. Any man who
understands the spirit which animates the
Democracy Of the South Nill sustain us in
the prophesy that as soon as 1t can be &C
complished the clauses in the constitutions
Of the Southern States, recognizing the su-
prcmacy of the General Government, will
be expungcd. This is the next step after
the forcible seizure OF those States by the
armies of the White League to reassert
within the Union the reasonable theory OF
secession for which they fought outside OF
the Union. They were restrained from
calling conventions for this purpose pend
ing the session Of Congress, by the advice
OF fellow .partisans in the North and West,
who advised them to postpone their revo'
lutiOnary attempts until after the adjourn
ment of Congress for "cxpedicncy's sake. "
Let the weak, knced Republicans OF the
Forty Third Congress, who are response
bic for its omission TO take action for the
faithful preservation Of the results of the
war, ponder over this matter and justify
themselves in the opinion of their constit.
ueuts if they can.

THE Southern Democratic papers are
just now engaged in attempts to influence
the colored people TO commit acts Of indis-
erection for the plain purpose Of bringing
discredit upon the Civil Rights bill. At
the same time they decry the bill as an in
complete measure, and one that was DELHI
erately intended by the Republican party
TO deceive the blacks. We have all along
described the bill as piece of legislative
sentimentalism, the passage of which would
not change the condition of affairs in the
slightest. 1t has not been necessary TO ad-
mOnish the colOred residents of the District
TO use the meagre privileges extended to
them by it with moderation and a eonserva-
tive spirit, because they are as a class dc,
votedly law-abiding and peaceablc; and
even ifthe bill had been more radical in its
provisions, they would not have abused
themselves and their friends in Congress
by making it and themselves obnoxious to
the general public. They know that time,
and time alone, can conquer depraved preju,

he will work very hard to get it. Will the

regarding the Southern question by allow
ing him 10 succeed in the realization of this

The Failure of the Bill to Protect Electors.

IRON lns Albhny Evening JOuiHAlsI
Politically, the effect Of the result may be
matter Of more doubt. II considerations OF pub.
lie safety and Of protecting the Union men Of the
South could have been dismissed, end the ques.
tion treated only In Its political aspects the con-
cIuSion might be different. Thus, regarding the
matter solely from the political standpoint, there
might have been question as TO the expedIency
Of pressing the bill, because, and only because,
there was division Of sentiment among our own
friends. As q general rule there would DO
doubt about the wisdom Of any measure from
which a considerable portion Of the party dis
scented. This division Of opinion presented the
only element Of perplexity or hesitation in the
present case. But It didn't touch the merits Of
the matter at all. II there was any question
about the political policy, II was not because the
act was wrong, but because some good men were
timid and distrustful. We believe they were mis-
taken IN their Judgment OF duty. We believe
they did not comprehend the gravity OF the sltua-
ton and the true way Of meeting IT, But mis-:
taken or not mistaken they were not prepared
for this action, and, upon the lowest plane OF po-
prevailed.
For our own part, we have been taught that 1t
Is good policy 10 do what Is right. The courage

Now WE BEGIN to hear from Democratic

relieves tho Democrats from all obliga.
