Tbe President lias appriintod the comman der of the ilvo Military Districts into which trio South is divided; they are ready to execute the law; the loyal men, white And black, are prepared to take part in the work. The bania f reconstruction is fully laid; the plan of the Supplementary bill is certain to bo enforced; find it ouly remains to bo seen what action ill be taken by the men who now control the Southern States. We assume that they will accept the law, and, so far as they are not excluded by it, will fijwedily begin to reorganize their States in the Way it requires. 13ut they will do this under protest. Our Southern exchanges, with not "very many exceptions, denounce the law, and even those which advise the people to accept it abuse the power which made it. Consolation is pought in the fact that tho South was not consulted in the making of it. "We are not nuked to become accomplices in our own degra dation, as when Congress proposed that we fthould ratify the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. These terms are imposed, and we can use without disgrace laws we are powerless to repeal." Men like Robert Ould end It. T. Daniel, of Virginia, proclaim, it is trae, that any Southern man who takes part in reconstruction under this bill is treacherous lo his State, and papers like the Houston Tele- graph consider that the bill justifies every trime known in history or possible to human Stature; but their counsels will not be regarded. SThe disloyal men who can take tho oath re quired by. the law of voters, will take it, and for this excellent reason: The negroes and the loyal white minority, if they refuse to act, will form State constitutions without their aid. Kather than see this effected, the worst op ponents of tho law will in a few weeks be or ganizing a party under its protection. The anembers of the Louisiana Legislature who, as Jate as February 27, passed a bill over the Governor's veto providing for a State election ly white voters only, and who last week re ferred to a committee resolutions declaring the Jleconstruction law unconstitutional and only lo be executed by the force of tho bayonet shameful resolutions will soon be working to Jjeep the control of their State by the means the law provides. Other Legislatures will avoid the mistake of Lwuisiana, and, as under Ihe law tho officers of the present Provisional Governments continue to perform their duties Until their successors shall have been elected, they will be obliged to take some action. It is ' understood that Uovernor Orr will soon assemble the Legislature of South Carolina to consider the propriety of calling a convention. In Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia, the Pro Visional Governors will probably take similar Steps. And in every State the men who most Jiate the law will accept the advice of their Bhrewdest leaders, and try to obtain all possi ble power in the now Governments, in the ' liope of controlling the negro vote hereafter. But this, fortunately, is not the only phase Cf ' reconstruction. Brighter skies arch above the South, in which a new light dawns. In Horth Carolina the Union whites and freed jnen will, on the 27th of this month, hold a Joint Convention in Kaleigh to organize a Jnion party and consider a new Constitution for the State. In South Carolina there are indications that the freedmon will obtain the lights secured them by the law, without the ' Opposition of the Rebel leaders, and, if we jnay trust recent professions, with their aid. It is true snch aid is not needed, and those who jnay give it do so regretting that the negroes are to vote, and only hoping to get their bal lots, but that matters little. Then there are jnen in the South who, like General Ilarley, V x-Lieutenant-Governor of South Carolina, are Sincerely willing to accept negro suffrage as an act of justice, especially if universal ain aiesty should follow it. We may hope, too, that the number is increasing of those who Siave learned to know not only the might jjut the right of freedom, and who hail its triumphs as their own. It is too much to assume that the negroes are the only people in the South who have become more en lightened, and liberal, and just since the VrnT. Many of the whites have also made cheering progress, and it is not to be denied merely becauso bo little of it is revealed. It jnust be remembered that Buch improvement is so unpopular that it is no small risk to acknowledge it. We rejoice that there are evidences that the restraint to which they Jjave been subjected is being removed, and that such ex-Rebel leaders as General Hamp ton can at least address the negroes as politi cal equals without being misunderstood. County meetings are to be held in every Southern State to consider the new method of reconstruction; one was held in Buckingham county, Virginia, on tho 11th instant, and at Montgomery, Alabama, a large meeting is called for tho 2Uth. There is much reason to Jiope that they will not be composed only of negroes and a few proscribed loyal whites, but that even those who believe the law unconsti tutional and tyrannical will not let such opinions prevent them from accepting its benefits. Custom Mouse Seizures of Book and 1 )rs. from the Times. Among the topics discussed in the report of Hie Congressional Committee on Affairs at the Custom House in this city, the Seizure JJureau occupied a prominent place their attention having doubtless been called to it iy complaints against its action, which have leen growing more and more numerous. In this connection, the report pays special atten tion to the statute which authorized the Seizure of books and papers, being the seventh Section of the act of March 3, 18G3, which, he Committee say, "has not unfrequently jjeen perverted into ft medium and instrument of flagrant injustice." On this account they Recommend that it be "repealed or greatly anodified." Congress acted at once upon the (suggestion, and the passage of the act of Jlarcb. 2, 1807, has doubtless remedied most, if not all, of the evils against wkich the report fras directed. The law of 1803 allowed the issuing of a fearch-warrautjl whenever it was made to ap- ear bv aniuavii to tne saiistaction of any vih trict Judge of the United States that a fraud the revenue naa teen committed or at imud bv any importer of foreign nierclian cliie, whether within bis district or any other riiatriot. ' ' The new law limits the power of ,a Judge to lia iHnuinir of warrants against persons in his cwn district, the propriety of which limitation Is so plain that it shows the old law to have iJHn massed without any proper care. It also r 4 T1IE DAILY EVENINQ tTELEGRArn. PniLADELrniA, FRIDAY, MAItCII 22, 1867. requires the warrant to issue on '"complaint and affidavit," and confines it to casos of com mitted, not merely attemped, fraud. Under the former system the iniportor was entirely nt tho mercy of tho custom-house officials. Ail that w as necessary was to procure soma one to pwenr that an importer had attempted a fraud, without stating any f:icts as a ground for the allegation, and a warrant could thereupon be issued, directed, not to an officer of the Court, but to the Collector of tho port, by authority ,of which lie or any agent whom he might appoint could enter any place and seize and carry away any of the importer's books or pjipers which he was pleased to think had anything to do with that fraud or any other, and keep them as long as' the "retention thereof might be necessary, subject to the control and direction of the Solicitor of the Treasury." Now, the seizure of papers has always beoa considered one of the most delicate and dan gerous exercises of power. The Committee remarked upon this, referring to the constitu tional provision guaranteeing the security of the people "in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures;" and they added that it was clear that "to cause stores, drawers, safes, etc., to be opened and rilled of books, letters, and papers, etc., without other judicial inquiry and determination than Is implied in tho for mal production of an affidavit and the formal issuance of a warrant," ought to be hold un reasonable. The report referred to one in stance in which, under such a proceeding, a will and letters between a man and his wife were thus seized and held. The indignant language in which tho report reprobatoa such action, and the state of the law under which such action could be taken, cannot be said to be undeserved. But the report might have pointed out other abuses, and more especially those attending the retention of papers so seized. That was left entirely to the discre tion of the Government officials, not to a judi cial discretion, but to that of the Solicitor of the Treasury, before whom no judicial pro ceedings could be instituted, and from whose decision there could be no appeal. It is natural and proper that when such a state of things was once brought to the notice of our law-makers, such dangerous powers should be at once regulated and brought within proper bounds. Under the present law the warrant is to issue, not to the Collector, but to the Mar shal, the proper officer of the Court, and it cannot issue unless the character of the fraud, the importations in respect to which it was committed, and above all the papers to be seized, are set forth by the complainant. Moreover, the papers are to be kept, not by the Collector, but by the .ludge, as long as he deems it necessary ; tint Solicitor of the Trea sury no longer has supreme power in such cases, and the warrants are to be returned, like other warrants, "to the Court of the Dis trict within which such Judge presides." It is well that these changes have been made in the law. How it has happened that the courts have not long ago taken hold of the matter, and determined tiiat the constitutional provision against "unreasonable seizures" protected citizens against such proceedings, it is difficult to say ; but, indeed, as we happen to know, the mutter had been brought iu one case before the court f this district, and though no conclusion of it has as yet been reached, it is doubtless owing to the discus sion of that case that the committee were led to make the recommendations which they did, and to secure the changes iu the law which have been made. How such a statute as that of l.Su'3 could ever have been passed, or could have stood so long, can only be explained by tho history of the times. We do not believe it was owing to any weakness of respect for con stitutional safeguards, but only to the intense occupation of the popular mind and heart with things whose pressing importance kept minor matters out of sight. While the people were thus preoccupied, doubtless, many pro visions crept into our laws which would not have been allowed in ordinary times; and now that matters are coming back to their old course, this section of the act of 1SG3 will probably not be the only one in tho legisla tion of the past few years which will be found to need, and which will receive, a thorough overhauling and remodelling. Foreign Policy of theRmptror Napoleon Debate Iu the Frcucit Chambers. From the Herald. According to one of Wednesday's telegrams the foreign policy of the Kmperor had been vigorously attacked in the Corps Legislatif, MM. Thiers anjl Favre declaring that the en couragement which the Kmperor had given to the unification of Germany and Italy had proved hostile to the interests of France. Count de Chambord, the chief of all the Bour bons, has already with much seriousness and sorrow told France and the world the same story. Such, therefore, it may be taken for granted, 1s the general conviction of the Legiti mists. M. Thiers may be regarded as giving expression to tho general sentiment of the Orleanists. Nor is it possible to doubt that M. Jules Favre speaks in the name of a very large proportion of tho Liberals of France. It is not difficult to understand the position assumed by the Count de Chambord. The position of the ex-Prime Minister of Louis Philippe is equally intelligible. It is impossible to deny either the one or the other tho merit oi consistency, now uio leauer oi the French Lib"rals should adopt such a course, it would tie less easy to understand did we not bear in mind that there is nothing which so completely blinds a Frenchman to justice and reason as that which touches or seems to touch the greatness oi nis country. With a united Germany on the one hand and a united Italy on the other, every intelligent Frenchman sees that his country can never again occupy the same proud and prominent position which,' she ' has been wont to occupy in the Kuropean system, and that her influ ence in Kuropean councils must be materially lessened. It is our conviction, therefore, that MM. Thiers and Favre have but echoed the general sentiment of the French people of all grades and sections of society. There are many thoughts to which this view of the situation gives rise. One is that the Kmperor has beeu slightly outwitted. He is entitled to all praise for his policy towards the Italians. History will not refuse to admit that the unity of Italy redounds to his lasting honor. But the Kmperor did not calculate that a united Italy, which he did not encour age, should spring into existence at one and the same time. This is the difficulty which the Kmperor, equally with every intelligent Frenchman, feels. Another thought is that a foreign war which promised to win back for her her proud position would not be unpopu lar in France. Were it not for this Exposition which, fortunately or unfortunately, ho has on hand, we do not believe that either his Infirm health or his advanced years would prevent Napoleon from engaging iu gome such enterprise. n.-n.ti Wtlon In South Carolina The Ktmarktbli blading at Columbia. Frrmtht IJei-ald. - - - Hie recent meeting at the capital of South Carolina, an extended account of which we published yesterday, is ono of the most significant events of the present day. ' Dis franchised whites and enfranchised blacks mingled together and took counsel on the policy of the future under the now order of affairs in the Southern States. As South Caro lina was formerly tho foremost in secession and the boldest advocate of slavery, so how she leads tho van in reconstruction, and is the first of the Rebel States to recognize the equal rights of the freedmen. The politicians of South Carolina were always shrewd, active men; and the speeches of the whites at this remarkable meeting show that if the Rebel lion has stripped them of everything else it has not deprived them of political energy and sagacity. An assemblage of abolitionists iu Boston presided over by Wendell Phillips, could not I have claimed mtore for, or conceded more to, l the colored man than did the representatives j of tho South Carolina chivalry, standing in the capital of their State. It must have been j a singular sight to see such men as Wade , Hampton, De Saussure, Colonel Talley, K. J. I Arthur and others telling their emancipated slaves that "they have the right of franchise;" ! that they are "politically the equals of the I whites;" that "tho white man and the colored i man of the South have the same interest, the ; sr me destiny;", that "the two races must prosper or perish together;" that the whites cherish "no hostility towards the colored man on account of bis altered circumstances;" and exhorting the blacks, in the exercise of their ! new rights and power, "to try those of the I community whom they have known those i who have the same interests" and not to i "experiment n the sympathies of strangers" until they find themselves deceived by their I white brethren of the South. : It is evident that the white citizens of South ' Carolina have resolved to accept the situation, and by a prompt and masterly movement towards immediate reconstruction under the Sherman act, to seize and hold control of the negro vote before the Republicans have time to obtain a commanding influence over the freedmen through the machinery to be ope rated by Secretary Stanton. If all the excluded States should adopt a similar policy, and push forward the work of reconstruction in the same spirit and with equal promptness and vigor, tliev might yet make themselves masters of the position and effectually overthrow all the plans of the radicals. By such a movement the whole South could be brought back into the Union before the next Presidential elec tion, and the disfranchised whites would have as complete political control over their several States as if the ballots remained in their own hands and tho shackles were still on the arms of their former slaves.
