SENTIMENTAL POLITICS.

It was natural for several reasons that the
Republican party, during the first years of
reconstruction, should be disposed to entertain
very strict ideas of its duty toward the col
ored people of the South and to put rather
liberal construction upon the constitutional
limitations of the Federal authority in dealing
with them. The liberation of the subject race
was the crown of the Republican party's long
contest the defense of their political rights,
won at such tremendous cost, was essential to
the preservation of the fruits of the war if
not to the safety of the Union itself. And
it was plain, very soon after the surTen-
der Appomattox, that the freedmen
could neep no rights which the General
Government did not defend for them.
The best men of the South, accepting the re-
suits of the war as final, and too chivalrous
to continue the struggle by assassination after
they had been conquered in the open field,
sulked in their homes, and left public affairs
TO the Ku-Klux and the White League. 1t was
absolutely necessary for the Federal power to
interfere. The negro was helpless. we had
conferred certain rights upon him by Procla-
nations and Acts of Congress, but he was ut
terly unable at that time TO enforce them, and
he hardly knew what they were. To leave him
at the mercy of the most violent and unscrupu-
lous class of Southern whites-the class which
furnished the hated "slave-driver' OF planta-
ton days, cruel to the hands and despised by
the masters-wOuld have been mere brutal
irony. 1t must have led to a new bondage,
worse than the old, because resting upon ter
rorism instead of law Good policy and good
feeling botlr required that we should use the
whole power Of the Government, wherever it

and there, when new issues arise, turbulent
and brutal men may try to control the colored
vote in the interest of one party. But they
will be met, defed, hunted down, and pun
ished, not by Federal cavalry, but by South
ern whites, taxpayers and property owners, OF
the other party. The thing will never be tried
twice on any county, after respectable body
of Southern property make it their
business to protect the rights of all citizens.
One such man can do more than regiment OF
cavalry to stop bulldOzers and punish assas-
SINS Whenever the South divides it will be-
come a necessity for each party to defend the
rights of colored men. The South will divide
whenever it has gained local self-government.
Take away Federal troops, only requiring that
lawful and peaceful measures shall be resorted
to- and the colored citizen will find himself,
within year. better protected in all rights OF
person, property, and citizenship than he ever
could be if thousand Federal bayonets were
in every county.

4 MAD FORD, MY MASTERS!

Some of our more kind hearted cOtempOra-
ries think that Lee, the Mormon murderer,
must have been insane. There are few peO-
nile who hold the same theory about the we'll
known lawyer who lately and mysterously
djsappaared. The Rev. Zebulon Phillips having
obscouded from Amsterdam, NY, with great
quantity of other peoples money, after having
for long time enjoyed the admiring conf
dence of the community, it is now inclined to
the opinion that the Rev. Zebulon Phillips
must be lunatic. Perhaps it is creditablssto
the world that it never gets accustomed to
these instances of moral breaking down. 1t
still believes responsibility to be respectable.
No matter how many clergymen may bring
scandal upon the cloth, society wants preach
ing, and goes to hear it from those who have
not lost their good regulations.
This theory of lunacy in one sense is just
one. Every moral oblquity has its mental
side. inasmuch as honesty is the best policy,
and the wrong -dOer never reasons accurately !;
and this is why SO many of them are caught
and punished. Hence the popular notion that
the devil deserts his own at last. Shrewdness
is at fault; precaution blunders; cunning
makes mistakes; clevcrness sets traps for it.
self. In this sense we may fairly say that the
Rev. Zebulon Phillips was not in his right
mind. Neither was the bookkeeper who van
ished the other day with the money of the
Brooklyn Bank, and who behaved in such a
preposterous way. SO, too, juries think muir
der to be such an utterly irrational thing Gas
considered from one point it undoubtedly is)
that the defense often pours its theory of IN
eonity into uerfectly willing ears
A man may, however, be somewhat insane
and at the same time morally respon-
sible. Admit this, and the trifling which
has disgraced our criminal Jurisprudence
will disappear. 1t is great mistake to
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1877-03-31

suppose that even the inmates OF lunatlc
asylums have no moral sense. Some OF them
are there because they have persistently culti-
waited habit of disregarding it. They did
wrong so frequently that finally they lost the
power of doing right. If the Rev. Zebulon
Phillips had never tempered with conscience
he would not have turned out thief. lnsan-
ity, or what we call insanity, is often nothing
more than confirmed habit Of doing wrong.
A great many steal because they cannot help
stealing, but they are locked up all the same.

THE STONE At THE SEPULCHER.

Yesterday Christians gathered beneath the
shadow of the dark cross on far-away Cal
vary, while hosts of other people, processing to
be neither good nor Christian, looked back at
it with an awful doubt. Was it indeed this
which could aid them through their every
day worries and through that strait of death
which must come to them at last Tomorrow
all Christians will rejoice in the risen Lord,
and even such of us as do not acknowledge
Him in words will think of His triumph over
death with unwOnted tenderness, simply because
there is not one of us who has not laid down
mother, a child, or friend in that solid
yellow clay under foot and our hope for ever
finding them again rests in that old story of
the Nazarene.
Upon this day He lay buried out of sight,
as our dead do now. The tumult which He
had kindlcd throughout the Roman province
had been sharply checked. Nothing more was
to be hoped or feared from the son of the
carpenter. He was not the Messiah who was
to break Caesars yoke: He was not the great
prophet Elijah returned to lead the people out
Of sin-because He was dead. 1t was true that

Gen. Benjamin +. Butler must be highly
flattered to see that his is the first name which
suggests itself in connection with any new
demonstration of political wickedness. He is
mentioned in Washington as the leader OF the
carpet-bag coalition which proposes to assume
control of both houses of Congress and try
its hand at running the Government.
We beg leave to doubt the report.
Gen. Butler never goes into coalition
unless he is quite of success and OF
reasonable profit, and he is too shrewd not to
know what the effect would be on the liberal
Democrats of the South Of an attempt by
carpet-bag treachery to hurl both branches of
Congress against the Southern policy of Presi-
ident Hayes. Such scheme is so clearly pre-
destined to failure that Gen. Butler can safely
be counted out.

No words can litly paint the horrors of the
famine in India. 1t is picture which cannot
be overcolOled A correspondent furnishes on
another page some of the larger details OF this
great calamity, and also narrates some of his
personal experiences in the afflicted region. 1t
is pleasant to know that the British Govern
ment is making noble efforts to relieve the dis
tress, though when the best that is possible is
done, many thousands must starve. Of the six
famnes that have taken place in India during
the past Ga years, the present is i'll some
respects the most formidable one. 1t is evil
| dent that the recurrence of famines in the
| East must be expected at intervals i'll the fu-
| ture. In THE TRIBUNE of March II, under
| the head of Science for the People, an account
was given of discovery of DR.. w. W. Hun
| ter, DirectOr-General of Statistics in India,
which seems to make certain connection be-
| tween these famines and the periodic diminu
ton of spots upon the sun. When sun-spots
| are fewest, the drOuths occur that bring on
| famine. The discovery is likely TO prove of
| the highest value, since it may enable future
| famines to be foreseen, and provision to he
made against them many months in advance.

1t is getting to be the fashion for Governors
to scOld their Legislatures. Gov. Bedle now
takes the cue from Gov. Robinson, and reads
his Senate a sermon. He had an excellent
text, and delivered an excellent discourse,
though we doubt if it had any great effect
upon his congregation. The Governors mes
sage shows that committee OF his own party
in the Senate waited upon him some time ago
and informed him that they would not vote to
confirm Republicans for the new judgeships.
1t is Il pity that this insoent attempt at die
tation did not move Gov. Bedle to give the
Republicans a larger share of these appoint
mcnts than he did, and it is pity, too, that in
his message he should have thought it
necessary to show that the Democrats had
got nearly everything but the action of the
Democratic Senators was SO fragrant that it
left no room for criticism of Gov. Bedle. One
Republican was confirmed because he already
held one of these positions, but the other was
rejected, and, being renOminated, was again
rejected, as was also another Republican
nominated in his place, simply because he was
Republican. This exhausted the Governors
patience, and he politely told the Senate to
go home This it did. 1t is good radiance

There seems to be no further room for
