Year: 1867

General Candy in Louisiana had the good
opinion of every loyal man there, and if he
had none Of the plaudits, he had the respect
Iof all the disloyal Inall cases disappeared
simply desirous of doing his duty without
the least regard for party considerations,
and rigidly obeying aud executing the laws
without in the least regarding party or per-
sonal considerations. He was as far as pos
sible from being politician or speech
maker, and as it is right to give every man
ing nothing but good from his axainipistra-
tion of affairs in the Carolinas, despite the
manner of his appointment. We observe
that his first actof any Importance is the
promulgation of an order which states that
illegal and oppressive taxes have been im-
posed in North and South Carolina, and di-
'recting their suspension-as, for instance,
whenever they are imposed otherwise than
under the authority of the United States;
whenever the levying of the tax impugns
the power of Congress to regulate commerce
between the States; whenever unjust dis
elimination is made between residents of the
State and citizens of other States of the


United States and, finally, whenever any
tax is imposed for the purpose OF discharg-
ing any obligation in aid of the rebellion, or
to reimburse the public treasury or any local
or public officer or any person whatever for
any expenditure on account of any such
pretended obligation. This order is to the
point, and General Candy says it is needed.
Its promulgation will partly reassure such


people as were afraid that loyalty had lost
much in the removal of Sicktes and the ap-


pointment of Candy to take his place. But
the fear grew out of the fact that Mr.. John


son made the removal and appointment, and


was justified by nothing in Canby's previous.
course as a communicable Mutton. iI


The Nation does no more than justice to
Gen. Candy. He Isl a brave, honest, straight


forward soldier, who knows littleof politics,
and confines himself to his duties as mill


tary man. His sympathies must be, howev-
er, with the Republican party, as that is the
party that suppressed the rebellion and can
alone restore the outlying States to their
places in the Union. We do not see how
any man can love his country and at the
same time favor those whose schemes would
inevitably lead to its destruction.

State, has been ordered to Columbia to con-
fer with Gen. Candy. Gen. q. will find it a
difficult task to trace and fasten this adroit
rebel in his devious, selfish windings. He
will not be apt to confde in him to any con-
siderable extent. If he should, he will GER
tainly be deceived.


This State is to-day as thoroughly in the
hands of the Confederates as it was in 1864.
Thousands of its magistrates, a large major
ity of its clerks, shcrifs, constables, and


town officers, and all its corporations are


hostile to the reconstruction acts, and are


doing all they can in quiet way to prevent


the return of the State to the Union. Gov.


Worth will deny this to Gen. Candy, but we


tell the General that there are thirty thou


sand white and sixty thousand colored men


in the State who will sustain us in the state


ment The word of all these loyal men is


certainly worth more than that of Governor
