& lions shall be deemed a rebellion against
sthe United States, and during the continu-
. ance of such rebellion within the limits
which shall be prescribed by the proclama-
ton Of the president OF the United States,
1T may be lawful for the president of the
United States, in his discretion, to suspend
sthe pri sileges of the writ OF habees corpus;
and it is provided also that all provisions of
the second section of the act of March 3,
1885, relating to habeas corpus, are hereby
revived in full powers" Such an
enactment gives the president power
in cases where combinations of "two
or more persons" as defined in this act
exist any where within the jurisdiction OF
the United States, or are said to exist. to
arbitrarily arrest and imprison whomsoever
he pleases, and declare the whole COM
munity under martial law. The grant of
such a power to the executive can only
be explained on one theory. The men
who propose to make the grant are careless
of Justice and freedom, and simply desire to
furnish their own champion the most pow
srful weapon against their political oppon-
ents, securely confident that he will never
use it against themselves. Legislation of
this kind at the present day is simply
conspiracy to facilitate the commission
of crime against portion OF the people.
These men who want to suspend the writ OF
hsbeas corpus understand the danger of the
act well enough. They know that in doing
so they are overstepping the traditions OF
our race. They know that they are invoking
in time of peace, the lawless powers OF war.
All eloquent disquisition on the Magma
Charta, therefore, is simply thrown away on
them. To get control of the Southern states
government. they must violate all natural
and political right. and the readiest road to
their ambition is now the suspension of the
great writ. If the time should come when
they would have to accept a central empire
to retain power as its vassals, they would
not hesitate to make their choice. They are
consequently consistent and cunning enough
in their villainy when they demand the last
clause of this act or nothing.

THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL TUESDAY FEBRUARY 1875

if they rule the South, they must
in time lose the sympathies of the North, if
1t be not well ruled. They can not carry
both points. The Southerners, IN the des-
perate game which they are playing for self
government, seem determined not to throw
away chance. They are gaining ground
day by day, and, as their hope increases,
they are displaying new skill and resources.
This long introduction is intended
merely as comment upon the
address OF the Southern congress
men to their constituents issued on the 18th
inst. from Washington. No ADLER or better
political paper could be conceived for the
present crisis. 1t counsels temperance I'M
der whatsoever trials Congress puts upon
the South, and, in view of the impending
civil rights bill, urges the most considerate
and kindly treatment of the colored
race, pointing out not merely the
natural propriety of such conduct, but
its good policy. 1t is to be hoped, for many
reasons. that the words of the representa-
tives of the South will fall upon attentive
ears. If so, the doom of the administration
is sealed. Every paper DESTROYS of seeing a
revolution in the politics of the country in
1876, will re-echo words of their address:
Letevery white man in every neighborhood IN
the whole South regard himself as commits
siOner of the peace maintaining the klndliest re
lations toward the black man, remembering
that the responsibility for the extreme poverty
TO which we have been reduced, and the CORRUPT
government TO which his vote has subjected US,
rests not so much upon him as upon the bad
men, who, with the assurance OF Ieue RAJ
support, have, by appeals TO his
worst passions, sought to make him our enemy
while we labor by all honest means TO convince
him of the truth that our interest and his are
Identical and that both must be preserved by
good government, and that those who STIR up
strife between us are the enemies OF both races,
let Eus at the same time see that he Is fully
projected in his guaranteed rights 10 vote as
/ he pleases in all elections. Let US continue
| to deal with him honestly and fairly, ana lei
us continue cordially to invite TO our midst
those who, of any political party, either seek &c
know the truth or to find homes upon our soil
We do not exagaerate when we admonisn you o
the d1sheartening tact that every street olstuIo
ance, every homicide OF every character, oy
whomsoever committed, by black or white, re
publican or democrat, such as are incident tt
every community upon earth, is perverted lnte
evidence of a spirit of lawlessness and violence
and purpose to accomplish political ends.

The Caucus Bill.

Ut is to be regretted that Gen. Coburn has
pursued the unwisa course in regard to
Alabama which late advices would seem to
Indicate. Il is not well that he should close
hiscongressional career by such an act of
folly as san tioning the report ofthe Alabama
investigation committee of which he was a
member. That report, instead OF con-
tanning any formal statement of the
condition of affairs in the common
wealth, presented the nefarious measure,
known as the republican caucus bill, and re-
commanded it's application to Alabama. 1t
is not easy to describe this scheme without
the use OF very harsh language. 1t is the
plan invented by Southern republicans,
and designed to secure to them the control
OF the states lately in rebellion in spite
of the people Of those states, who have
risen and cast them out of place.
OF course no measure can be devised for
taking the power out of the hands ofthe ma
Iority of the people of a state without sub
verting the principles of American liberty;
and the inventors of the new bill 90 to work
with a full sense OF that fact. Their only
trust is that they can disguise the danger
Gus authority which they create in
such a fashion that tke people will
fail to recognize the armor under
the flowing robe of the civil enactment.
The first twelve sections of the bill propose
a kind of legislation analogous to that en-
bodied in the enforcement act. They may
be described as belonging to the most corrupt
and degrading species of enactment that
can be injected into the judicial system of
any country, vitiating the whole admins
tration of justice. They contain general
of counteracting local temporary
abuses, and, Of necessity, must
result in universal wrong. To prevent the
recurrence of such peaceful revolutions as
that in Arkansas, or such violent ones as
that in Louisiana, new and useless penal
ties are provided. To deprive men in GER
tain localities of the right to carry arms, the
authority is given to the general govern
nent to disarm whole communities. To
prevent any Southern commonwealth from
regulating its own elections, the
control of elections throughout the Union
is virtually put into the hands of the execu
tive. And halfa-dozen new crimes and
penalties are invented simply with the idea
of giving tie United States courts, through
them, jurisdiction over every conceivable
matter affecting the ballot. Bad as this
style OF legislation is, however. it can only
be regarded as the extension of prin-
ciples hitherto applied and found of nc
avail in keeping down Southern majorities,
The caucus bill, therefore, goesa step further
and boldly proposes to deprive the people o
their liberties. The last section of the &C
has the sting of the measure hidden in it
tail. That section provides "that whenevel
ANY such unlawful combinations, as de
fined in tho revised statutes and Jude
'this act, shall be organized or al
tempted, and so numerous aud power
sful as to be able by violence t.
set at defiance and overturn any state an
thorities. in all such cases such combins

The Richmond Enquirer seems to be ex-
tremely anxious lest Gen. Grant should
make himself president in 1876 by coup
d'etat, and that paper is OF opinion
that the present policy OF throwing
the South under military control is
simply adopted with the design OF
securing all her electoral votes for the
president, or at least preventing the recon
structed commemorative from casting them
in favor of any other candidate. Ii any
such scheme of wild ambition has
gained possession of Grants mind, it
must be confessed that he is a man
in every way calculated to carry it out. But
is it not too desperate an undertaking even
for his stolid courage and matter of fact
intellect to carry out? He may calculate, OF
course, upon part of the republican party
to support him in the most desperate policy
even to the utter subversion of the gov
eminent; bat the main body OF
OF the party will hardly go with him in this
final leap towards military despotism. he
can rely upon the small regular army, whose
only power is in the prestige which it carries
as representing the majesty of the nation.
but he has no other source of strength. The
House of Representatives is against him
even now by strong majority. The Senate
is with him by bare majority of ten and
would be intensely hostile should he at
tempt usurpation. The states OF Alabama,
Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Della
ware, Georgia, Indiana, kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts,, Missouri, Ne
vada, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York. Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin are
in the hands OF opposition governors and
probably not more than half a dozen
rotten boroughs would muster &c
his support in case he attempted
to seize the federal poverty force. His only
hope lies in the use Of insiduous and peace.
full m Methods, and, even granting that he can
command the support of his own party
while proceeding in apparent obedience to
the law, yet the task which he has before him
IN the way of coerciDg the South into
his support is trifie discouraging. The fol-
lowing figures, adopted from the Albany
Argus, give clear idea of the labor
which, according to the Richmond Wing, he
has under taken. In the first place view OF
the electoral votes of the Northern states is
submitted, with an estimate of their prob
able vote:

The big guns have opened fire, and 1t Is
evident that there is to be no more child's
NAV between the great competing lines OF
railway which unite the East and the West.
Readers of tfe Sentinel are familiar with
the preliminary skirmish. wherein combi-
nation of the Northern lines, including the
New York Central, Erie and Pennsylvania
Central companies, attempted to thwart
the plans of the Baltimore Ohio Company,
under the leadership of President Garrett.
Their first point was to prevent an en-
trance to Chicago, out of which grew the
contest in Porter county last fall. Defeated
in this Messrs. Vanderbilt, Jewett & Scott
waited upon Mr.. Garrett in person, going to
him at Baltimore, and attempted by diplo-
macy to secure scompromise. They returned
with a flea in their ear. The next move
was TO reduce and cut rates, but Mr.. Garrett
remained steadily with them, displaying, as
usual, the frmness of purpose which
has ever characterized his admins
tration. On Monday last the Penn
sylvsnia Central company shut of the
cars of the Baltimore & Ohio company from
passing over the Camden & Amboy road,
the only line across New Jersey, ana unoer
the monopolizing control of the former. Mr..
Garrett dispatched Immediately to Mr.. Scott
a sharp, decisive demand for explanation, al
the same time boldly asserting his inten'
ton, if the prescription should be per-
sisted in, to make it exceedingly hot for his
opponents. Arrangements were made fol
prompt transmission by steamer from Bal
timore to New York and Boston, of freights
by the B. & o. line, and orders were issued tc
cut passenger fares from one-third to one
half below present prices between the prin
cipal Western cities and Baltimore anc
Washington. Mr.. Scott responded on Tues
day by defiant letter, evincing both de-
termination to fight and considerable conf
dence in his advantage. The result, for
time, at least, will DO cheap freights snd
fares tor the Western people, while the rail
way companies will waste some of that sur
plus wealth, of which the grangers insis
they hold more than their share.
