The President and the Militia.


Itsppears by the declaration of MAJOR General
Shaler commanding division of the New York
State militia, National Guard, that he holds
himself bound to obey an order from the
President calling out the militia, whether 1t
comes to him directly or through the Governor
of tie State. An intelligent subordinate of
General Shaler's indulges in some severe criti-
cisms Of the Generals position in the Army
and Nary Journal, which responds In the fol-
lowing exhaustive remarks upon this question:
We state here what has been SO repeatedly
ard clearly declared by the authorized inter-
prefers Of the law, namely, that the right of
the President to deal with the militia directly,
in certain contingencies, rests upon the Sth
section of the Constitution of the United
States, which declares, among other things,
that "Congress shall have power TO provide
for calling forth the militia to execute the
laws of the Union, suppress insurrection and
repel invasions." In pursuance of this author
ity Congress, 50 long ago as 1795, passed an
act which declared that 'whenever the United
States shall be invaded, or be In imminent
danger of invasion from any foreign nation or
Indian tribe, It shall be lawful for the Presi-
dent Of the United States TO call forth such
number of the militia of the State or States
most convenient to the place of danger or
scene of action as be may judge necessary to
repel such invasion, and to issue his orders for
that purpose to such officer or officers of the
militia IS be shall think proper, and in case of
an insurrection In any State against the gov
ernment thereof It shall be lawful for the
President of the United States, on application
of the Legislature of such State or of the
executive, (when the Legislature cannot be
convened, to call forth such number of the
militia of any other State or States as may be
applied for as he may judge sufficient to sup
press such insurrection. (Sec. 1, act of Feb.
ruary %, 1795, chap. So; re-enacted in the
Revised Statutes, section 1922 This act was
in part superseded by later act, that of July
20, 1861, section l of which provides for the
same use of the militia s'whenever Il shall be-

sword of authority on both its edges and
with sIt its fame. We say 70 these gen
tlemen that emancipation was not mere
maks-believe We say, further, that the
policy which engratted citizenship on
emancipation viii stand or the nation will
fall. We say. yet further, that the war
for the nationality and emancipation and
The civil equality Of all men before the law
under the American flag was neither
'tIailure" nor bloody farce. The order of
the President to Gen Sherman, therefore,
affects, in its scope and ultimste results,
all the facts involved in the political status
ofthe citizens Of the negro majority States
of the. Confederate South. The moral
sentiment Of the whole people has already
indoreed that order. 1t is needless to say
thatthe man who issued it will do his full
duty in this hour of supreme danger to the
nation, which his valor and genius saved
when he led the Union armies against Lee.
But in this position of defender of the life
of the nation Gen. Grant will act MORE
as civil magistrate than as soldier. He
will WELD authority in the name of peace
and for the cause Of peace. The country
thus assured of its peace can 60 forward
calmlyin the. usual paths of commerce and
industry, and all men of all parties can
wait, if it need be, six months or twelve
months, until all the facts of the case In
issue are Investigated, adjusted and settled.

passed throughs most exciting political
contest in which We have earnestly advo-

an abiding faith and for which we
have bsttled faithfully during the
whole period of our eventful history in
journalism, we shall now be able to devote
even more than the usual space to interests
purely local In doing this, however, we
shall not neglect political news. but give

THE New Orleans Times (Democratic)
of Sunday, 10Th instant, introduces some
wholesome and well-digested reflections
upon the danger of our periodical four
year Presidential elections drifting into
regular revolutions and our Government
becoming utterly worthless as prote ction
to life and property, unless the fuuda-
mental principle of Democracy-the free
dom and parity of the bsllot-are pre-
served intact, with the following porten-
tous warning to Northern Democrats:
The mutterings of war, which were quite
audible for few days after the election,
have subsequently been muffled, but there is
yet enough in our present condition to excite
the gravest apprehensions. Newspapers are
publishing estimates of the numbers and re-
sources Of the two parties, and feebly al
tempting to forecast the result of anot her
civil war. The sentiment in the South, bitterly
'cdrned by previous deceptive assurances, has
grdvitdted, NTH singular undninsity, to the con-
cluSion that the Northern Democracy must in
itidte the policy Of the future. In uhdteVer

rdey Of that State icere prepared to shed bood in

The Democratic journals of the country
are bowling themselves hoarse in denuneia-
tion of the Republicans who are the official
canvassers and returning boards of three
Republican Southern States, and who are
to declare the result of the election In those
States, but they have no word Of reproof
for the blnditti managers of Mississippi,
hesitated to commit crimes Of every degree
in order to compass the election of Tilden.
Eyer since reconstruction the resctioRAry
Democratic rebels of the South, while pro-
Tossing with an air of plausibility that they
accepted the results of the War or recog-
nIzed the re-establishmeut Of the Union Of
all the States, have, with vigilant pertina-
city, omitted no opportunity to supersede
those who were loyal to the Government
during the war with ultra secessiolists.
Even such Democrats as Hancock, of
Texas, and Wiltshire. of Arkansas, have
been compelled to stand aside for more
reliable defenders of the "Lost Cause"
Unfortunately, Republicans themselves
have in some notable instances assisted in
transferring power to the hands Of Demo
crats. or leaving the latter in quiet posses
sion of State governments secured by
means wholly unlawful and indefensible.
In that way Arkansas was handed over by
Republican House of Representatives to
Democratic managers, whose frauds on the
ballot box in the pretended adoption Of the
constitution Of 1874 =. were fully! made
known to that House. Next Mississippi,
with fair Republican majority of 80. 900,
has been oEerpowered by armed organizs-
tions of banditti, and the chosen officers
of the people compelled, by threats of i'm
peachment prosecution and persecution, to
resign or abandon, not merely their offices,
but frequently also their citizenship and
their property. I'D .u.-.
Now the country is startled with the
natural result of these gradual attempts to
subvert the freedom of the ballot in the
South, and finds itself even threatened by
Northern Democrats with q plausibly ar
ranged plan OF revolution in case they find
that Louisiana gives Hayes the necessary
majority. The Democratic party is the
same now that 1t was during the war-the
ally and sympathizer of treason. Let US
not deceive ourselves. 1t is now attempt
ing to educate the country up to a support
of whatever violence it may find necessary
in order to install its candidate whether le-

augurste another rebellion will be con-
demned by the people, and, if attempted,
met and throttled by the officers of the

his efforts toentrap the people of the North

70 the Inauguration of Tilden. His ennis
saries have gone forth with instructions to
call meetings in all the large towns and
cities of the North, of the people irrespec-
tive of party, in the interest of peace. The
design is, when the meetings are convened,
to present "cut and dried" resolutions "a
variable to Tilden and the Democracy, and
denunciatory Of Southern Returning
Boards, and press them through with
hurrah, and then claim this false and. forged
expression of Tilden, Hewitt 6 Co. as the
veritable verdict of the people-public
opinion. Let all true patriots beware Of
this trick and await the official decisions.

- An occasional gleam of sense varies the
monotonous waste of dishonesty that is
called the mind of the Ishmaelite of the
press. One of these lucid flashes revealed
itself In an editorial in the Sun last week,
and for it the Ishmaelite is being soundly
belabored by his elder brethren in the
Democratic party. In the lucid moment of
which we speak the Sun said that the YER
dict of the officers duly appointed to count
the votes for Presidential electors would be
accepted and acquiesced in BY the people,
and that if Hayes receives 1s5 votes he
will be the next President. 1t is evident,
from the tone of the article in the Sun,
that the Ishmaelite reads the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN closely, and is profting BY
his study of Its editorials.
