THE GOVERNOR AND THE
MILITARY.

IL the testimony which he gave before
the Henrico County Court on Tuesday last
Governor Montague stated that he had
ordered the troops into Henrico county
on the night of June Gath before Sheriff
Solomon had called upon him for aid.
The Governor had satisfied himself that
the presence OF troops was necessary to
prevent the laws from being violated,
and as the sheriff had failed up to that
time TO ask for troops, no took matters
into his own hands. He communicated
with the Acknowledgement and ordered
him ito direct Colonel Anderson to mo-
bil!ze his troops and go anywhere to pre-
serve peace and order In the Common
wealth"
Doubt has been expressed time and
again as to whether or not the Governor
has the right to order troops into any
part of the State unless requested so TO
do by the local authorities. But In the
light OF the plain language OF the Consu-
tuition we can see no possible room for
doubt, and this paper has always SO
maintained.
section 70 OF article of the Consutu-
ton provides that "the Governor shall
take care that the laws be faithfully
executed" and in order that he ma,
carry out that instruction it is furthel
provided that "he shall be commander
tn-chief OF tho land and naval force
of the State. and have power to embed!
the militia to repel INVASION, suppress In
surrection and enforce the execution o
the laws"
II is perfectly clear from this that tn
Governor IL authorized 10 send troop

sion may demand. TO enforce the laws an
preserve order, and, more than that, tina

PEONAGE IN ALABAMA.

The United States grand jury. which
has been engaged for some time past
In investigating peonage cases in Ala
bama, in its final report, returned ninety
nine true bills against eighteen persons.
The report of the grand jury is frank and
fearless. and this infamous system OF
condemning negroes to cruel slavery Is
denounced in unmeasured terms.
But It appears from the report that tho
abuse has been confined to a few local.
ties. 1--WE have diligently sought to as
certain" says the report, whether a
like condition OF things exists anywhere
else In the district. and are gratifled
to report that the two localities named
are the only places where such state
of things or anything approaching 1t
exists In this district" eve set out the
facts" says the report. in conclusion,
without exaggeration on the one hand
or extenuation on the other. We think
the truest friends to our people are those
who tell the exact truth as to these
matters The great body OF the people
in this district. save the very few VINO
are lost to all sense of Justice and Wish
to profit by oppression, are violently op'
posed to these practices"
Every right thinking man in the South
heartily concurs In the report of the
grand jury. The Southern people are
not in favor Of such outrages, and their
| sentiments are expressed by tho grand
fury. But 1t is gratifying to know that
these abuses have not been general but
confined to o few remote localities. and
the Southern people as whole are not
to be held responsible Tor them. 1t Is an
| injustice and q great outrage for North
ern newspapers to charge up to the nc.
count OF "the South" these infamous
practices by few individuals. which
practices are as abhorrent to the South
ern people as whole as they are tc
the people of any other section.
