ment of reconstruction had been fairly
tried, and before the present condition of
affairs characterizedas ''carpet-bag govern
ment'' in the Southern States had asserted
itself 1t was liz truth the offspring Of re-
beilious opposition to the General Govern
ment as administered by the Republican
party. Finally the intimidation and assas.
sination policy was extended to embrace
white Republicans among its victims, and
the battalions and squadrons were known
as Ku.Klux Kans. After Gen. Grant had
become President, Congress, impressed
with due sense Of its obligation to protect
American citizens and redeem the pledges
of the Republican party to which we have
referred, as well as of its duty to repress
violence and punish crime, passed law
suspending the writ of hdbsas corpus under
certain circumstances. The result Of the
execution of this law in 1871 was the ar
rest trial and conviction of hundreds OF
Ku-Klux criminals and the Temporary ae-
struction of their organization. This is the
experience of history-history so recent
that no man of intelligence can possibly
have forgotten it. But, after the lapse Of
time, the writ having been restored, and
with it the possibility TO commit
depredations without fear Of punish
ment, the Ku-Klux reappeared under
the name of the White League. The in
tfmidation and assassination policy was
resumed. War, actual war, was made
ho GpvorY ,o,,f HK.iIlip tho Gov
crnment and the power 10 suppress it was
denied. Peaceful States were reduced to
condition OF anarchy. Peaceful citizens
were driven from the polls, and the rebel
lion reasserted itself in a most violent form.
Recalling the experience of 1871, and
acknowledging that desperate diseases re-
uuirc desperate remedies, the careful and
thoughtful men of the Republican party,
the men who knew their duty and did not
fear TO do it, and who remained true to the
pledges of the party to protect the humble
people who had been made citizens by its
act, decided that the writ should be sus-
pended again, and that another effort should
be made to repress violence and punish
crime. The Offshoot of this determination
was the bill TO Protect Electors. There
was more reason, gravcr reasons, for its
passage by the Forty. third Congress than
those existing at the time the writ was sus-
pended before; but a stronger opposition to
its suspension was manifested because many
people had grown tired of the continued
necessity to resort to such stringent meas
ures, and because others had been misled
by the gross misrepresentation of biased
press into a belief that the condition of
affairs had been exaggerated. We are
inclined to number the Rochester Demo-
crat among the aforementioned class. We
do not believe that a journal, so just as it
generally is would under any other cir
cumstances oppose the passage Of meas
ure go imperatively required as the one
under consideration was and is, and we be-
lieve that before two years have expired it
will Join our numerous echoes in denounc-
ing the cowardice of the Forty-third Con-
gress as evidenced by its failure to make
the bill law.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-03-05
THE VERDICT.

The parting words in the newspapers of
the country, judging from those We have
already received, addressed to the Forty
third Congress, are not at all complimentary.
The straightforward Republican journals,
as well as the Independent Democratic
press, Join in unmeasured denunciatiOn ofits
many omissions, and the general lack of
consistent policy which characterized its
proceedings. No preceding Congress has
ever succeeded in giving such general dis
satisfaction, both to party friends and po-
litical opponents. The truth is, however,
that the Opposition really has cause TO re-
ioice. A correspondent writing to us, I'M
der date Of yesterday, sums up the situa-
ton as follows:
"a party that maintained a nation when
eight millions revolted against It's authority
sacrificed near half million human beings
and 5000, 100000 of treasure in its selfde-
fencc-with a two-thirds majority in the
House and the same in the Senate: with
radical Republican in the Presidential chair,
fails TO exercise what instinct makes even the
sheep and hares exercise, viz: selfpreservation.
The above hardly applies to the entire Repub-
Hcan party, but it applies to a sufficient num-
Der, added to the Democrats who knew so
well how to kill its opponents as to prevent a
single act passing looking to the preservation
of the party that honored and trusted them.
Suicide results either from insanity or cordrd-
ice. In some of the honorable gentlemen the
former may apply, but mostly the latter.
Afraid of what-themselves as seen by the
Independent Press, wolf in Sleeps clothing,
for no more hated enemy to the Republican
party can be found than the Independent
Press. Happily the attempts to take life
failed. 1t may cost blood and treasure, but
the people so bascly, go cowardly, so weakly
cheated, will rise up when next they elect
Representatives, and will spurn such coward
ice, and will place true, honest, brave men in
their place, and assume again the control and
responsibility Of governing this great Re-
public.
Gin the party thrown from control OF the
House are many brave men who have nobly
defended the right on all occasions. They
will not be forgotten by ltheir constituents.
Those remaining in that body who helped
make the murderous attack will feel but little
pleasure in serving party which has never re-
warded treachery, or given its confidence to
those who have betrayed their trust; will find
their conduct is noted and they will be held to
an account, and will find when too late that
cowardice invariably brings its punishment.
Happily the patient will recover, and the 4th
ofMarch, 1877, will see the seats to day vacated
filled by brave, honest men, and will see a
greater number of those men who fought to
save the country than those who fought to
destroy 1t in those seats.
CONE Who FoUGHT FOR THE UNION"
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-03-05

The President and the members of the
Cabinet were at the Capitol Wednesday
night and yesterday morning, as usual on
the occasion Of the adjournment Of Con
gress, for the purpose of aiding the rapid
execution of business. They labored hard
and earnestly in the examination of bills,
and the President signed them without the
delay which would have been incurred if
he had remained at the Executive Man
sion. The Democratic and Independent
press of the country know these facts, and
know further that every President since
the organization of the Government has
done the same; but, for the purpose of
making doubtful political capital, they
charge that President Grant was engaged
in urging the passage of bills, in which, they
allege, he had a personal interest. They
simply insult the intelligence of their read

TIE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS.

Messrs. Dennison, Ketcham and Phelps,
of the District Commission, are entitled to
the warm thanks of every citizen and
property holder in the District. They
have labored earnestly and assiduously for
the past week, both night and day, to Sc
cure from Congress needed legislation for
the District, have succeeded in obtaining
reduction of the taxes, and have, in short,
been eminently successful in securing the
adoption of every suggestion pressed by
them. While the objection is urged by
certain interested parties against them that
they are not residents, no truthful man will
deny the assertion that they have faithfully
served the people of the District and that
their administration has thus far been char
acterized by a scrupulous regard for the
best interests of all concerned.

Constitutional Arguments.

CFrcm The New York Commercial Advertissr.I
In the early days Of the rebellion, when the pa
triotic and cautious men of the country, In grave
counsel, put forward measures to meet the new
and alarming state Of affairs growing out OF our
civil war II was the custom Of the timid, cOnserv4-
tive and disloyal to demonstrate and throw up
their hards in despair and exclaIm that such acts
were "unsustained by clear authority in the Con-
stituticn." We ind the same timid, time-serVlng
"COnserTatives"-a bilious, disappointed, dlscon-
tented and unhappy set Of ereatures-nOW below
iEg, The Constitution, you know" Whenever
weak man has no argument. there are oae or two
things he is sure to fall back on-"The COnstitu-
tion,'' or "Y0u lie,'' ATS false" These are the
last arguments of timid and shallow people. Sew
eral Of these weak-kneed people, who fell into
Mysteries over General SheTidans banditti mes
sage, are now troubled with a constitutional cree
tiOn over the Force and Civil Rights bills. These
parchmenttaced people remind US Of the Virginia
constructionist who for several years made him
self ridiculous in Congress by eternally throwing
the Constitution at the head Of every member or
Congress. Finally, our strict constructiOnist was
taken ILL., and, finding there was no hope OF his
recovery, sent for his colleague and said to him:
"Wise, the doctor says am going to die, and l
want to make last request, and that is don't let
me be buried at the expense Of Congress, for, by
G., it's against the Constitution"

W. W. Bailey is one-and to these nephews he

lis Sherman a Catholic !"

freddy O'Trlx In the Rochester Express.
This question seems to be agitatlng the Catholic
mind about as much as whether shakespeare was
a Catholic" will tell you all about it, and you
can draw your own conclusions. l have seen
Father Young, an aged Dominican priest, who
baptized the distinguished General When the
elder Sherman died he left widow with large
family and a small .purse. The Ewings were
neighbors, and nearer friends, Of the family,
and old "Tom, in the kindness of his heart, pro-
posed to Mrs. Sherman to adopt one OF the
children. The proposition was accepted, and
cal pastime Of "kneading" mud pies and taken to
the home Of the Ewings In parenthesis l wish
to remark, Ia Mark Middle IN "Loudon As
surance," that have no hesitation in saying,
and say 1t boldly, that ''our hero" was net the
boy whom Henry Ward Beecher caught IN
similar kind OF mud business, and interviewed
thusly: MY boy, what are you doing?' ~
the pastor?" ''Oh! there is not mud enough
around here to make him. Strange boy. How
precOcious, And yet the great scandal was then
unknown. The Ewings being Catholics, young
Sherman was educated in the principles OF that
faith was baptized by Father Young, then a
time he entered West Point was the noblest R0-
man (Catholic) of them all. When he began to
learn the science of arms he began to forget the
science of religion. In all the number OF saints
that have read Of there is only one saint who
was a soldier, and that was Louis Of France-the
only exception to the general rule, but French
man always acts by contraries! The General"
st. Williams day. Now, 1t is well known that
he is not q practical churchman, and whether he
can be called Catholic or not you may put this
and that together and Judge for yourself.

that he believed there would be another war,
and his policy would be to raise the black flag,
with the skull and cross-bones on it, and not
leave a Republican, white or black, alive in
the State We are inclined to disbelieve this
report; but we have no doubt that General
Forrest is capable, like many other White
Leaguers, not only Of entertaining but of giving
public utterance to exactly such sentiments.
While they are not calculated to increase his
popularity in the North, or to do anything ex-
cept to revive unpleasant memories of his
career during the war, it is probable that they
would serve to recommend him as leader to
the white malcontents of the South"
AS this paragraph is going the rounds of
the press credited TO us, and accompanied
by an assertion that Gen. Forrest did not
make speech at the place and time indi-
Gated, we feel called upon to explain that
our information was derived from South
ern exchange As we said, we were in
clined to disbelieYe the report; but since
then we have received positive information
that he did make use of the language
charged in private conversation at Muldon,
Miss, on or about the date mentioned.
The only error in the report, it will be seen
from this explanation, is that instead of
publicly expressing a belief that another
war is imminent &c, he gave utterance to
those detestable sentiments privately, and
that Muldon is located in Mississippi in
stead of Tennessee. Will the Nashville
Un'oE-Anlerica1 and other journals of its
kidney take heed? We have no desire to
do Gen. Forrest any injustice, and hope
they will copy this explanation for the pur-
pose of putting him right on the record.
