Executive, either with or without condi-
tions; and as little have they granted to
Congress the power or discretion TO refuse
necessary appropriations to maintain re-
publican form Of government. II this
hagrant attempt at Congressional usurpa-
tion of power is not sternly rebuked by the
American people at the next election,
thoughtful mon may well entertain grave
doubts of the stability of republican govern
ment.
We elect President as well rs q Congress
tile former to approve bills, and thereby
to make those bills laws, or to veto bills
which, according TO his best Judgment,
should not become laws. If there is any
thing wrong in the bill or the veto, the
American people redress the wrong at the
polls, according to their prerogatiye; and if
that wrong is an attempt of an executive
servant to coerce our legislative servants, or
of legislative servants 10 coerce the Execu-
tive, there are stiIl enough free ballots in
America to rcbulte usurpers of authority
and retire them to obscurity, or to reduce
them to q harmless minority.
When one considers the recent action Of
the Democrats in Congress, il it were not
too serious matter TO be facetous over, he
might well say that they furnish striking
example of the wonderful wisdom and fore
thought Of the Fathers of the Constitution
when they limited their confidence in
the discretion of members of the Lower
House to two years and extended that
confidence in the Executive to four
years. Or still more striking illus
tration-when they considered the legis-
lative discretion of the Executive equal to
the united wisdom of one-third of the MEM
bers Of both Houses of Congress. And, in
fact, taking this view Of the case, it is graft
flying to consider that the election Of our
present Executive is sufficient evidence that
the sons are worthy of their sires, and that
the motto of tho Republic will long con-
tinue to be Esto Pcrpctud.

MAY 6.-The battle of the Wilderness was

| attack of the rebels on the Federal right Tho
attempt to turn tho right was defeated, aud
the line was pushed forward several hundred

| twice during the morning, and they were re
| pulsed each time. The battle opened briskly
on the left soon after the attack on the right
The fight soon extended to the centre and along
the whole OF the line, and was waged furiously
until noon, when there was lull. The enemy
renewed tho battle by determined attack
| upon the left and centre, which was rcpulsed
with heavy losses on each side. At nightfal
the enemy made another sudden and furious
attack upon the right, and carried every thinl
before them. 1t was u critical moment for til,
Federal army but General Sedgwick rallied
his forces and opposed their advance. The.
withdrew without taking advantage Of the
temporary success. Thus tho second day ofth,
battle closed. The loss during the two day
on the Federal side was estimated at 1900
men and the rebel loss was nearly as large. A
the close of the second day the two armies oc
cupicd substantially the same ground that the.

THE Republ lean plan for conducting a re-
publican form of government is avowedly to
establish tho principle of Federal Interference
at Congressional and general elections by the
use OF the Federal army and an armed consta-
bulary force and direct Federal supervision.
Observe that tho Federal election law as SEN
ator VOORHEES, has shown, brings every cleo
tUn under Federal supervision. Until the
Republicans camo into power and enacted this
law the Government was very successfully adj
ministcred without Federal interference at
elections and the sole design OF the Republi-
cans, as shown by thor record of eighteen
years, is to carry elections fraudalently and
prevent Interference against the wrong by in
terposng bayonets and partisan officials. The
Federal election law Is, in fact, as praCticcd
by its authors simply part of the machinery
Of ffraud.-LouisrHe COmier-JoHrnal.
The Republican plan for conducting a
republican form of government is TO clothe
that Government with full power to vindi-
cate its Constitution and laws against all ag-
gression, no matter whether it comes from
Massachusetts, or South Carolina, Con-
necticut or Kentucky. This is all that is
sought by the Republicans, and this much
must be youChsafed, or our republican
form of government will be as weak MS q
rope of sand. The assumption of Senator
VOORHEES,, that the existing Federal cleo
ton law brings every election under Fed
eral supervision" is as loose and unten-
able as any other of his romaucings
with the truth. 1t is not true.
1t has no application to any
other save Presidential and Con-
gressiOnal elections, and has never been
asserted at any other election. Members of
Congress are elected once in two years and
the President once in four, and it is to these
that the Federal law applies, and only to
these; hence it will trouble Senator VooR-
HE'S TO make good his assumption on the
platform of truth. The Federal law never
has been, and never will be, administered
except in the interest of honest elections
unless the Democrats should get possession
Of its machinery, Then it could not be 50
safely Youched for.

II now comes TO us that Mr.. O'CONNoR,
member OF Congress from South Carolina,
not content with 4 seat in Congress obtained
by very questionable means, is now engaged
In pushing bis prosecutions against South
Carolina Republicans in this city. We un-
dcrstand that he Is cndeavoring to cause
the Secretary of War TO cancel the appoint
mcnt OF Mr.. VAsA T. SroLBRAND as a cadet
at West Point. Mr.. SToLBRAND is the son
OF General CARLOS J. SToLBRAND, q distin-
guished artillery officer in General w. T.
SHERNIANs army during the late war. The
point made against young SToLBRAND is
the old cry Of " earpet-bIgger," O'CoNNoR al
lcging that he is not, and was not at the
time Of his designation, q resident Of the
second district OF South Carolina. The
Etcts, as stated to u.s. and as we have reason
to credit, are that his father, General SroL-
BRAND, removed to Charleston in 1876
where he pursued his vocation as a civil
engineer, and that he registered and voted
in the municipal election in that city in
October, 1s77. Hence the plea of non
residence has no foundation in fact or JUS
tice, and is evidently set up TO deprive this
young man of his appointment that it may
be conferred upon some of the tissue-ballot
fraternity. We give these statements as
furnished to us, believing that they are JUS
titled by the facts, and 10 express the belief
that the Secretary of War cannot be made
a party to such an act of rank injustice as
Mr. OCoNNoR contemplates.
