OVER A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

Below, we reproduce a significant
article that appeared in the Boston
Gazette Of Oct. Il, 1768, over one hun
dred and SIX years ago. The closing
sentence is remarkably opportune:
"Where military power is intro
duced, military ma1ims are propagated
and adopted which are inconsistent
with and must soon eradicate every
idea Of civil government. Do we not
already find some persons weak enough
to believe that an officer is obliged to
obey the order Of his superior, though
it be even against the law? And
let any one consider whether this
doctrine does not directly lead even
to the setting up that officer, who.
ever he may be. as a tyrant. It is,
moreover, to be observed that the
military government and civil are so
different from each other, if not oppo.
site, that they cannot long subsist TO-
gether. Soldiers are not governed
properly By the laws Of their country,
but by law made for them only. This
may in time make them look upon
themselves as a body Of men different
from the rest Of the people; and as
they and they only have the sword in
their hands, they may sooner or later
begin to look upon themselves as the
lords and not the servants Of the peo-
pie. Such instances are not
uncommon in history, and they tciH
Arrays happen lCheH troops are put UH-
der the direction Of an ambitious or
o0VetOUs GoreraOr.'

GRANT VERSUS GRAFT.

Power grows with what it feeds upon.
Grant, as General Of the Army, enter
tanned views about military interference
in State affairs which shame his course
as President. In 1866 there arose
some grave discussions between Gov.
Swami, Of Maryland, and the Police
Commissioners Iof Baltimore. Party
spirit ran high IN consequence Of the
Radical system Of Acknowledgement
then in'vogue there as we'll sin Tennes-
see. The Governor wished to remove
the Commissioners, as he had the right
to do under a centralizing sort Of law,
but feared they would resist and that a
riot might ensue beyond. his power to
quell. So he held a consultation with
President Johnson about the expe-
diency Of securing Federal troops to
GUST the Commissioners. The Presi-
dent invoked the opinion of Grant as
General-in-chief of the Army, and IN
der date Of Oct. a, 1856, the latter ad-
dressed a communication. to Mr.. John
son, from which we make the following
extract
Military interference would be in
terpreted as giving aid to one Of the
factions, no matter how pure the IN
tentions or how guarded and Just the
instructions. 1t Is a contingency l
hope never to see arise in this country,
while ] occupy the position Of General
in-Chief Of the army, to have to send
troops into a State in full relations
with the General Government, on the
eve of an election, to preserve the
peace"
The entire letter may be found on
page 297 Of the History Of Recon
struction, 4" compiled by Edward Nc
Pberson, the Radical Clerk of the pres
ent House. From the above quotation
it is evident that, however dense may
be the political ignorance of Gen.
Grant, he has not erred in his Louis
lana policy of the past several months
from any want Of knowledge as to his
constitutional duty in the premises.

EVEN the friends Of the new curren-
cy law cOncede that the provision for
a silver fractional currency is imprac-
ticable. With the present relative
prices Of gold, silver, and grecnbacks,
the silver coin would be melted down
and exported as fast as issued. Even
if it were practicable, it would not i'm
prove our national finances one iota.
The only result would be the use Of
silver for small change among our own
people, who are perfectly satisfied with
the present substitute. To effect this,
some $45, 100000 must be added to our
interest bearing debt, IN order to buy
the silver. No one need be surprised
if the present Congress should feel
compelled to 60 back and amend in
this respect, if not others, the law
forced through so faithlessly by Horace
Maynard only last week.

THE LEGIsLATURE. THE SENATOR.
SHIP AND THE DEMOCRACY.

Il
SHIP AND THE DEMOCRACY.
One thing may be taken for certain.
Whoever is chosen United States Sem
ator by the sitting General Assembly,
viii be heartily aecepted by the Dem
ocracy as the choice Of Tennessee.
Such must be the course Of all who be-
Ieve in the rule Of the majority as a
principle of government or of party
policy. We have had a free election.
The present legislators are our freely
chosen agents to act in this as well as
other important matters. We have
had no Federal bacon or corruption
funds in other shape, scattered among
Us. We have not been harrassed with
military raids and midnight ar
rests Of influential citizens. Our
people have not been persecuted BY
Marshal Packards and Lieut.. Merrills.
We have freely elected our representa-
tives, and their proceedings have not
been interfered with by any eKtraneous
power. Under these circumstances we
have the right to expect from
them the exercise Of their best
Judgment, and they have the
right to expect from US a cor
dial endorsement OF their untrammelled
choice. Everybody cannot expect that
his first preference VIII win the prize,
Of course. OF a dozen aspirants, eleven
must fail. The task before the
Legislature is delicate one
delicate because it involves no
principle, and no touchstOne
can. solve 1t. 1t is a mere question be-
tween men and their relative available
ity. Because the task is a delicate one,
the Legislature should be encouraged
by the support Of confdence-the con-
idence Of that people who 50 lately
entrusted them with the interests of
the State. While it is cowardly and
contemplate to abate one lot or title
Of principle, it is eminently noble to
yield, for the common good, mere per-
sOnal preferences and preiudices. That
men should submit gracefully to tie
viii Of the people, expressed through
their Legislature, is essential to good
citizenship in the Lowest walks Of life
as well as the highest. On questions of
men, patriots never quarrel Washing
ton declining a third term was nobler
than Washington at Yorktown.
These views Of the Senatorial situa-
ton are much more deeply impressed
upon the masses Of Tennessee than
some active politicians perhaps mag
inc. By declining to instruct, the i'm
mense majority have decided To leave
the matter with the Legislature, where
the law leaves it. As a consequence,
they are pretty certain to endorse with
out reserve the choice made, unless IN
deed some intolerable blunder should
be committed, which is hardly possible
in view Of the composition of the Sen
ate and House, and the calibreof thecan-
didates. To accept cordially the coming
Senator-elect, whoever he may be, is a
duty we all owe to ourselves, our State
and our party. 1t lie also due to the
common cause of Democracy through
out the Union-the cause Of reform,
local government and free Institutions
the cause Of the great future.

AWKWARD as the Louisiana situation
Is, and bad as the presidents are which
1t has afforded for possible usupers in
the future, yet the Republican remedy
of new election involves one still more
dangerous. The only consistent basis
on which Congress can order an cleo.
ton. Is to treat Louisiana as a terrific
". To give Congress power at discre-
ton to remand States to the territorial
condition, would prOve a serious inno-
walton upon our system. It is under
stood that the original returns Of 1872
are still accessible. The Republican
committee lately investigating at New
Orleans offered to canvass these re-
turns if both parties would abide by
their count. McEnery and Penn read
ilv consented, but the Kelloggites de-
clined the test. 1t is to be presumed
that the returns of last November,
showing large Democratic gains from
the negroes on account Of the collapse
Of the Freedman's Bank, are also still
obtainable. Where, then, is the occa-
sion or excuse for q new election!

LOUIsIANA's TRADITIONAL Err



The straits to which the faithful few
Of the Administration organs are re-
duced, for logic on which to base de-
fence of the Louisiana infamy, are ex-
cruciatingly amusing. The Chicago
Tribune dismisses the New York. press
in the lump as superficial" and pro-
ceeds to give the world a histOricO-
chronological explanation Of exactly
what is the matter with Louisiana. It
divides the fundamental errors Of that
oppressed people into three classes:
generic, traditional, and political. Their
generic error is that the influential
classes belong to the Latin race. I'm
der this head we have the statement
that ''the Briton and Teuton unite in
devotion topsrliamentary, constitution
al government, and the settlement Of
disputes by the Judiciary" How this
dovetails into the TFiBune's logic, is
not clear, the present situation being
that the "Latins" are complaining
against the Anglo American for dis
persing their parliamentary body at
the point of the bayonet, while they
are shorn o. all constitutional govern
ment, and have long since appealed in
vain to the supreme Judiciary Of the
land.
The second or traditional error of
Louisiana is disloyalty, says the TriJ-
uRe. New Orleans is the State, lust as
Paris is France. New Orleans always
was disloyaL It never was in sympa-
thy with the American people. 1t en-
tered protest when France sold the
province" to the United States. They
retain their French superstitions,
French costumes, French language,
etc. They are Frenchy, or, in other
words, insurrectlOnary. We suppose,
from this line of argument, that the
North must furnish these Frenchy
folks with Marats and Robespierres,
since they have failed to raise home
crop.
The third error Of Louisiana is po-
htical-the survival Of the effete soph.
ism Of State sovereignty. As to the
general government, they believe that
at exists and has authority only inthe
custom-houses, minis, forts, men-of-
war, the District Of Columbia, and the
Western Territories. Most men out
Of their teens viii regard this as a
pretty fair view of what the general
government ought to be IN its home
policy. Such was about the full scope
of its interference with States or peo-
pie In the purer and brighter days Of
the republic. All patriots would love
to see the like again. The Chicago
Tribune must refresh its studies in eth
nology, history and sociology, running
back all the way to pre-AdamIte man,
before it can Justify Grants course in
Louisiana by logic of this sort.
