EVEN the New York Tines, the
sblest and best ofthe Republican organs,
admits that the time for reconstruction
has passed, that the reconstructed
estates are parts OF the Union in the
"same sense that applies to New York
cor Massachusetts; and it is monstrous
"to suppose that the government, or
"any department Of it, may be clothed
with al authority whereby it may re-
"msnd State to territorial condition.
'if, in the opinion of the partisan major
''ity, for the time being, the local ad.
"ministration be not upon a republican

mo further than may be necessary for
