GEN. PEMBERTON.
memphis I.edger,1

lMeulpnlS 1LSOS0f.l
Gen. Pemberton, who surrendered
of July, 1868, has lived so quietly ever
since that he has rarely been heard
from. But he has recently taken I'M
his residence in Philadelphia and de-
sires to resume his citizenship. Speaker
Randall has presented his petition
asking to be relieved of his political
disabilities, and also bill to accom-
Plish the result. Gen. Pemberton will
soon publish an attack on Gen. Jos. f..
johnson, of Virginia, who he thinks
has misrepresented aud injured him in
official statements concerning the mill
tary operations of the rebellion. While
Gen. Pemberton has not been univer-
sally condemned by the Southern peo-
pie, there has always been a lingering
suspicion that he was not over anxious
to defend Vicksburg, or to get his
army cut of the place. 1t is well
established principle in military science
that good general always provides, if
possible, an avenue of escape in the
event of disaster. This, Gen. Pember-
ton, knowing that an immense and
superior force was coming against him.
did not do. He contented himself with
defending his river front and permit
ted Grant to land below, march around
in his rear and encircle the city. Penn
berton either committed q mistake or q
crime, and it would be easier to be.
lieve it was the former if he had not
made it suit to surrender OH the fourth
OF July and thus give greater eclat to
Grants victory when he could have
held out a little longer or quit sooner.
Whatever he may have to say in ex.
planation of his conduct will be read

presented by State Auditor Jumel to

Once there was n young man who
married a young woman, and she was
rich and he was poor, and it made him
sad to think of it. One day she told
him damaging stories about some of
their neighbors that she had heard at
a tea-ffght, and he listened and thought,
and very soon he SAW n way out of
his poverty, for his wife believed the
tale she had heard at tho tea-fight. After
she had finished the stories, he said: stI
will go five to twenty that there is not
one word Of truth in what you have
just told me, ,"-for he did not know
how sure his game was so ho wanted
odds. And she, plying his folly, said
cts whack." and they Investigated
the stories and found them false, SO he
won. And they continued in this Sinful
practice of betting ON the truth or falsity
of town gossip, in the same order in
which they started out, and four years
had not turned the corner ere he had
ali her wealth, and she had some val
liable experience.

UNwARRANTABLE ASSUMPTION OE
POWER.

| lNew York Journal of Commcrce.1
In his veto message the Presiden,
quotes the clause Of tho constitution
which declares that Congress may reS-
ulate "the times, places and manner of
holding elections for senators and rep-
resentatives," and also the later amend
ment which provides that "thc right
of citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged'' on
! account of race, color, etc., and confe,s
upon Congress the "power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation.''
Ihe PRESIDENT then condemns the meas
ure offered for his signature because ssit
Is now proposed to deny to the United
states oven the necessary civil author
tty to protect the national elections
Pray, who proposes to deny this to the
United States? Is the President the
United States? The constitution con
fers upon Congress the right to make
certain regulations concerning tho
eiect'on OF It's members. The two houses
nave passed bill designed, as they be-
lieve, to prevent any undue interfer.
ence OF the military at such elections.
ihis action Is most certainly within
their province. 1t is not Il denial to
the United States Of the rights con-
ferred by the constitution, but on the
contrary it is the exercise by the Con-
gress Of the United States, with whom
the power is lodged, of the very rights
In question. The two houses OF Con
gress certainly represent "the United
Statc5," as much ut least as tho Presi-
dent, and when they deny to the army
the right to interfere at the polls thev
deny nothing to the United States. It
Is the people of the United States bv
their representatives in Congress as.
sembled who insist that ssthe right of
citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or. abridgel'' bv
the display of an armed force at the
polls for partisan purposes. If there is
no ground for their apprehension, no
harm is done by rendering such n
menace illegal, and thus SECURING to
all full and free exercise of the cleo
tive franchise. But the pretence that
because the President is Of one political
party and the majority IN Congress are
OF another he is the United States. and
they by the exercise of their legitimate
powers are denying something to the
United States, is most offensive and
unWarrantable assumption that ought
not to pass without severe rebukc.
