jyom the Tribune.
When the United States abolished slavery
flier did not Intend that It should be reestab
lished yet the Coolie labor system which It Is
Mopoaed to introduce in the South is nothing
ut slavery in one of its most dangerous forms.
Wherever it has been tried in British Guiana,
in Trinidad, in the Mauritius, In Tern, in the
Concha Islands, and in Cuba, all the evils of
slavery have resulted. It may be doubted if
formal slavery is not preferable, for the owner
Chip of laborer, in many oases, gives the
waster an interest in his welfare. Large capi
tal is invested in a gang of slaves, and neglect
Irnialtv might diminish the return. But the
Coohe svstem Is not only one of apprentice
ship, but cf the apprenticeship of foreigners
for a limit of time. The workings of
the trade are seen on a large scale in
Cnba where it has been subjected to
no restrictions. There the Chinese Coolies,
kidnapped or betrayed by false promises, are
sold to the highest bidders for seven years,
and paid nominal and miserable wages; at the
nd of this term they find themselves in debt
to the planters, and are forced to renew their
contract. In Jamaica, where the experiment
twice failed, it is now successful, especially
Vith the Hindoo Coolies, and though, under
the English law, the system Is better than that
Of Cuba, it is still a disgrace. There is no
case recorded In w hich the Coolie ha3 risen
above the condition of a serf; he is condemned
to labor for the benefit of others, with no hope
of becoming himself independent, and when he
is unfit to toil, he has no claim upon his
master for support. A slave in all but the
same, the pretended freedom he possesses is
the gift of Tantalus; it is a snare and a
mockery, and the wretched serf had better
Lave been bought and sold than hired.
This is the system which is to bo the substi
tute of slavery in the Southern States. Coolies
are now employed on the plantations of Loui
siana, and the other day a ship-load arrived
at New Orleans from Cuba. The United States
Vice-Consul at Havana has informed the Gov
ernment that he has reason to believe "that
an extensive scheme is on foot for the intro
duction of coolie labor in the South." From
Washington we learn that many of the planters
Vould rather employ coolies than freedmen.
It is not difficult to discover their reasons.
The freedmen are American citizens; they have
Totes and rights which United States armies,
If need be, will enforce. The coolies, on the
ontrary, are ignorant foreigners, who cannot
even complain of oppression; they are power
less to insist upon just contracts, and must
accept the terms ot their employers. The
planters prefer coolie labor because it is, in
effect, slave labor. The freedmen now at the
least receive tolerable wages, but it is safe to
say that the pay of the coolies will be almost J
nothing; tney will wort lor their food and a
few clothes, and perhaps a few dollars, but
will never be able to command a fair equiva
lent for their labor.
It is not to Chinese immigration that we ob
ject, but to a Bystem which, if carried on by
private contract, will certainly be a gigantio
swindle and a national disgrace. Congress in
18U4 made a law to encourage immigration,
providing that the immigrant might mortgage
Lis wages for a period of twelve months for
the purpose of refunding money advanoed for
the expenses of his passage hither, but on the
express condition that no part of the act should
"he construed to authorize involuntary servi
tude or slavery. The importation of Coolie
labor, unless carefully watched, will result, in
Slavery, and we are glad to hear that the Attorney-General
has already taken steps to pre
Tent any violation of the laws. If the Coolies
in America are protected by the Government,
and allowed fair opportunity to settle, they
may become a valuable though small class of
laborers in the South; but if we permit them
to be treated as serfs, the traffic will become
enormous, and the United States might in a
few years rival Cuba, which yearly imports
some 30,000 Chinamen and holds them in
Lopeless degradation and poverty.
Opposition to the Congressional Policy.
Trom the Timet.
Southern politicians who oppose the condi
tions of reconstruction offered by Congress
exhibit less than their usual sagacity. Ambi
tious they have always been, dexterous, and
averse to the preponderance of Northern
power. Never, however,, except as participa
tors in the Rebellion, have they blundered
more egregiously than in their present hos
tility to the law.
It is the fashion with this element of South
ern political life to attribute to the great body
of the people a stolid indifference to the pro
gress of the work which Congress has inaugu-
lated. Acooraing to the correspondents whose
sympathies are with the old liebel party, the
jBouth cares nothing for the law, and will not
move a step to comply with its provisions.
The announcement is accompanied with assu
rances that an ardent desire for the fellowship
of the Union prevails, though how this feeling
liarmonizes with the reported indifference to
the proffered means of regaining the privileges
Of the Union, the writers in question stop not
to explain. If the repentant multitude are
anxious for restoration, their aversion to the
preseribed method of securing restoration is
intelligible only on the supposition that they
have been led to hope for an easier method,
and one less obnoxious to their prejudices.
Any expectation of this kind is traceable to
the sophistry, the misrepresentation, and the
passionate appeals of those who claim to be
considered organs and leaders of Southern
Opinion.
The motives of these leaders lie upon the
Surface. All their opposition resolves itself
into resistance to a policy which insures their
Subjection to the loyal power of the State.
Their rhetorio derives its force from trans
parent selfishness. They are not willing to
see the power they have so long wielded pass
from their grasp, and they adroitly try to
make the white electors feel the mortifioation
Which properly belopgs exclusively to them
selves. That they have auooeeded to some
extent is evidenced by the complexion of the
registration lists; but the proof of their
ability to control a majority even of the whites
Is yet to pome. l'robabilities, and even the
greater number of witnesses, point to the fail
ure of these efforts. For though a large pro
portion of the whites refuse to vote, or vote
Jcainst the plan prescribed by law, there is no
yfason to fear tlat in any State it will be
defeated. Black votes may be reou red to
save it, but loyal whites and loyal blacks,
combined, promi.se to be strong, enough every
where to give effect to tub law. ' .
Thia foot ia ia which exhibits most conclu
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,
sively the folly and wickedness of the course
pursued by the Hills, the Johnsons, and the
Stephenses of the South. Their taoUos are
essentially different, but they tend unmistak
ably to the same end. The impetuous Hill
devotes his froth and fury to an ,8aalt "P"
the constitutionality of the Congressional
plan, and counsels abstinence from voting, lest
the constitutionality of the Convention be im
pliedly conceded. Herschel V. Johnson in
cites ingry epistles, urging registration, to be
followed by voting against the Convention.
By these tactics he promises to "orush this
horrid hydra." Alexander II. Stephens,
again, carries out the policy of masterly in
activity to perfection leaving Georgia to its
fate, while he muses admiringly over the fal
lacies ef Calhoun's theories, and discourses
of the superiority of Cicero as a moral teacher
compared with the philosophers of these de
generate days. Taking these men as repre
eentatives of classes opposed to the law, it is
scarcely possible to magnify the absurdity
and culpability of their conduct. If it were
feasible, as Hill suggests, to defeat the law by
refusing to register, or to overcome it, as
Johnson proposes, by regular voting; or by
dreaming and speculating and prophesying,
after the manner of Stephens to wait until
the tide flows past, and then cross the chasm
safely and pleasantly there would be prac
tical wisdom in their action or non-action, as
the case may be. But under no conceivable
circumstances can any advantage be derived
from the proceedings suggested. Reconstruc
tion will go forward under the direction of the
military commanders, and on the basis laid
down by Congress, despite the denunciations of
Hill, the tactics of Johnson, and the abstrac
tions of Stephens. These gentlemen united,
with all the adherents they may muster, will
not stay the progress of reconstruction by
aught they may attempt. The utmost they
can achieve is the production of some ill-feeling
and their own annihilation as political
leaders.
If these men were as disinterested as they
pretend to be, they would acquiesce in their
own exclusion from power as an atonement
for the Buffering they helped to bring upon
the people of their State. Assuming this ex
clusion to be permanent, it would be a very
mild penalty for the part they played in the
Rebellion.
But Congress has not aimed at the imposi
tion of disabilities of a permanent character.
It has provided, not unreasonably, for the dis
franchisement and exclusion from office of
prominent Rebels, while reconstruction is in
progress. But the opening left for the resto
ration of the forfeited privileges in individual
cases, and the uncontradicted declarations of
a desire to sweep away all restrictions so soon
as that may be compatible with national peace
and safety, sufficiently show an absence of
undue harshness, as well from the spirit as
from the measures of Congress.
Were the opponents of the law actuated by
a lofty, unselfish regard for constitutional prin
ciple, they would be earnest in their repudia
tion of the Provisional Governments which
Congress thrusts aside. By a curious forget
fulness, they make no mention of the Execu
tive usurpation of 1865 while vehemently
assailing the alleged Congressional usurpation
of 1867. As between the two "usurpations,"
however, that of Congress, which they con
demn, is infinitely preferable to that of Presi
dent Johnson, which they approve. The Pre
sident, in his day, pulled down and set up
without a pretense of right other than that of
the conqueror, and without consulting the
people as to the time or mode of the change.
surely that was usurpation of the raukest
sort. CoBgress, on the contrary, in the name
of the country, pulls down the work of one
man, and appeals to the people concerned to
frame a government for themselves. True,
there is not a very great freedom of choice;
the conditions are specific and the
work well defined; but at least
there is a show of an appeal to the will
of the people, together with a certain respect
for their officials and their institutions. How
is it, then, that the Hills and Johnsons and
Stephenses, who complain of the policy of
Congress as harsh and tyrannical, utter not a
complaint respecting the policy of the Presi
dent, which was more tyrannical in its essence
and more harsh in its operation f In this lati
tude we are disposed to believe that the differ
ence of tone is attributable to the difference in
the characteristics of the two plans. The Pre
sident's plan, crude and incomplete, left the
Rebel element undisturbed, and allowed of a
gradual reassertion of its authority. Not only
the State organizations, but the State repre
sentation in Congress, would have gradually
reverted to Rebel control. Under the policy
of Congress this will be impossible; and hence
the angry opposition of politicians who lack
the honesty and sagacity which lead the Browns
and Longstreets of the South to accept the
situation unreservedly, and to prepare man
fully for the altered condition of affairs.
The country insists, this time, that the work
shall be thorough, and it is not likely to halt
in its course for the accommodation of those
who are as hostile to the principles for which
the North fought, as though "the little affair
at Appomattox Court House" had not hap
pened. Bloodshed In Tennessee.
From the Tribune.
When a Republican meeting at Frauki'n
the capital of the count v whose whites v. era
unanimously Rebels was broken up by a
murderous fusilado, the World told its readers
that this was a radical riot. On the same
principle, it should now denounce the bloody
affray at Rogersville as of conservative origin.
We do not so insult the understanding of our
patrons. Political passions in Tennessee have
been lashed into frenzy; but we do not believe
either party is mad enough to fire volleys into
its own meetings nor attempt to pistol its
candidates or champions. Even if we were
knavish enough to make such absurd asser
tions, we should be restrained by our know
ledge that the publio has too much sagacity to
be deluded by them.
The Franklin butchery was of conservative
impulse and origin; that at Rogersville must
be placed to the discredit of the radicals.
They had no business at the meeting except as
quiet listeners. If they did not choose to hear
Etheiidge and we know that his harangues
are more vitriolio than those of any other live
man, Brownlow possibly excepted they had
only to keep out of ear-shot. No matter how
bitter, how unjust were Klheridge's words,
that was not the time nor the place for contra
diction. As a presiding officer in a legislative
body would say, "The gentleman from West
Tennessee has the floor;" and no one else had.
a right to it unless invited by the party in pos
sesion. .
We earnestly say to the sedate, oonsiderate
Tennesseeans of both parties, you must unite
to put a Btop to these disgraceful, murderous
collisions. You must not ask nor consider to
which party their authors belong, but subject
them impartially to the sternest legal disci
pline. Unless you do this promptly, you will
Boorf be involved in a fresh civil war, while
security, order, industry, prosperity, will flee
your State aa though it were plague-stricken.
General Thomas ia Military Commandant of
the district which includes Tennessee. He is
onpable, firm, wise, loyal, and large-souled.
We wish lie were under orders to keep the
peace in that State by arresting all murderous
disturbers at whatever cost. Unless some
outside authority should be interposed, we
apprehend that the approaching election will
be signalized by a hundred outbreaks of the
ferocious ppirit evinced at Franklin and at
Rogersville.
General Grant and the Presidency Sig
nificant Opposition.
From the Herald.
On the same day the Tribune and the World
oppose the nomination of General Grant for
the Presidency and try to write it down.
Never before did a mere coincidence in oppo
sition tell so plain a story in a candidate's
favor. For what more can be said in praise of
a man proposed for high position, than that he
is hated or feared by those enemies of popular
peace and public safety who liang on the ex
treme of either division of political sentiment,
and express and show the extravagance of
party tendencies 1 In the days of the war it
was enough in a man's favor with Union
loving voters that the Copperheads assailed
him with an exuberance of abuse and insinua
tion. But how much clearer is the case when
the opposition comes, not only from one ex
treme, but frcn both when in the same
breath the Copperhead objects, and the
radical extremist at the olher end of
the line objects also I When such wide
asunder partisans agree, the only safety
for the nation is in choosing what they
oppose. Hitherto these same extremes have
agreed on several points. They agreed that
the Southern States should be permitted to
secede; they agreed that the war was a failure;
they agreed that the existence of the nation
was not paramount to all else; but that rather
than do certain things wo should give the
Union up to inevitable ruin. In these points
the people scouted their dangerous and trea
sonable thoughts. Now they add to their
former points of agreement a united opposition
to General Grant. The lesson the people must
draw from this is an easy one. They know
now what the extremists do not want; they
know, therefore, what is necessary for the
settlement of the country, for the harmonizing
of those divisions on which the extremists live,
for the restoration of national prosperity, and
the destruction of all the factious. The fac
tions themselves, with unerring instinct, point
to Grant as the man they dread.
Why do they dread him ? Because he is a
strong, honest, fearless, straightforward man,
deuce of the whole body of the people, and i
who, in virtue of the strength derived from J
the people, will reconcile all honest differences,
pacify the country, and destroy the dema
gogues. Iu his candidacy there will be not a
shadow of a chance lor party bargains. The
extreme radicals do not want a man to settle
the country; hence they do not want Grant.
It is their policy to keep up division, to keep
up agitation and bitterness, and by means of
these to drive Southern men to new acts that
can be held up as aggression, and so to put
new disabilities upon the South and force
their ultimate purposes of a division of laud
for nigger voters, by whom they expect to con
trol the Government indefinitely. This is the
broad radical objection to Grant; he is too
strong and honest for this plan to thrive if he
is President. Short of the radicals, who op
pose Grant for this reason, there is a vein of
opposition from certain Republican party mana
gers. These do not want Grant as a candidate,
because his success is beyond doubt. Party
managers make their games in the region of
doubt, and have a guaranteed equivalent for
promised support. Such persons see that
Grant is out of their reach. His strength with
the nation is such that he may scorn all
manoeuvres, and bargaining with him is thus,
for all reasons, out of the question. On the
other hand, the Copperheads know that they
have no chance with a man whose whole
record is so distinctly against them, and they
fear that the Republicans should get a candi
date who will leave no possible opportunity
for a division of the national voice. They
know that with Grant up they cannot confuse
the people, whatever they may say. Alto
gether, this simultaneous objection to the great
candidate is a most instructive coincidence.
Never were the games of sharpers so revealed
by any sudden exposure of cards as the games
of these political sharpers are by the accident
of their giving vent to their ill-will on the
same day.
The Indians.
From the World.
Section 2 of the act authorizing a commis
sion to call together and arrange treaties with
the chiefs of hostile Indian tribes , contains an
excellent initiatory provision if it can be suc
cessfully carried out. This provision is:
''That siiid commissioners are required to
exnmlne una select dlhtrictn of country having
sufficient area to receive all Indlitu tribes now
occupying the territory east of the Rocky
Mountains, not now peacefully residing on per
manent reservations under treaty stipulutioiis
to which Government hus the right or occupa
tion, or to which said comiul.sslouers can ob
tain rlnut of occupation: and lu which district
or districts there snail be suflicient tillable or
gruzlng luud to enable said tribes, respec
tively, to Hupport themselves by agricultural
and pusioral pursuit; t-aid districts, when ao
selected, and selection approved by Congress,
shall bo and remaiu permanent homed for said
Indians to be located thereon, uud no persons,
not members of said tribes, shall ever be per
mitted to euter thereon without the permission
of the tribes Interested, except the oincersand
employes of the United Hlates, provided that
d 1m riot or d islnels shall be so local ed ad not to
lntenere with the travel on the highways lo
cated by authority of the United Htates, nor
v 1th the route oi the Northern Pacific IMilroad,
the Union I'aoiflo Kallroud, eastern division,
nor with the proposed route of the Atlantic and
Pacific Kallroad by way of Albuquerque."
That the efforts of the Commissioners to
bring about the above arrangement may be
successful, every humane and reasonable per
son will devoutly pray. But the attempt has
been bo long postponed, that the tribes who
have waged more than three months of un
obstructed petty warfare against the Western
routes and settlements, and have generally
got the best of the small military forces they
have encountered, are likely to assume a very
Bauey attitude in council with the emissaries
of that "Great Father" by whom they have
been often swindled, and whose power .to con
trol and punish them must have seriously
dwindled in their belief. The Commissioners
have a very difficult task. They may be able,
through patient and frank dealing, to bring
the chiefs and the tribes, generally, to the
terms announced;. But trouble will neverthe
less be made by bands of the same tribes,
whom the chiefs, even if they should be
honestly disposed, could not prevent from
Btealing out of the new territory and commit
ting outrages among the whites. Some of the
chiefs themselves would doubtless break their
vows, and join in these roving depredations.
Thus would occur the same dillioulty and
the same danger that baa frequently ocourred
before. The truth is, that a proper distinction
has never been made by the Government au
thorities, by the military, and certainly not
by the Western scalp-hunters, Iwtween the
Indian trilies proper, and the bands of thieves
and murderers attached to them. While it was
right to hold the tribes responsible, in a cer
tain sense, for the misdeeds of any of their
members, it was grossly impolitio to wreak
the same vengeance for a murder or robbery
upon the whole or any portion of a tribe as
Bbould have been meted out to the offending
parties alone. But Western men and offioers,
who abhor all savages alike, do not trouble
themselves with such find distinctions; and
the clannish sympathies of the red men
naturally impel them to resent, en masse, at
tacks, provoked or unprovoked, npou any of
their fellows.
This kind of policy must be abandoned,
and a more deliberate and careful policy sub
stituted, even if the newly appointed Com
missioners succeed in their attempt. There
ought to be guarantees, first, on the part of
the chiefs, that those members of the treaty
making tribes who commit outrages shall be
made known or delivered up, if that is possi
ble, to the Government authorities; and,
second, by the Government, that it will not
permit any armed forces to enter the territory
set apart for the tribes for any other purpose
than to seize malefactors that the tribes may
otherwise refuse to surrender. In the mean
time, the warfare that will have to be con
ducted for a while against the outlying sav
ages with whom no terms are possible, can be
successful in no other hands than those of well
organized frontiersmen, led by responsible and
experienced commanders. The services of
mounted volunteers, which the Secretary of
War is authorized by this act to accept from
the Western Territories in case the present
Commission fails, will be just as necessary as
a temporary police force, if the Commission
succeeds.
Finally, if peace with the Indians is brought
about in any way, it is to be hoped that
without interfering with the rights of territory
granted the red men, or officiously intermed
dling in their affairs the officers and em
ployes of the Government, whom it is stipu
lated shall have acoess to them, may be in
structed to make every effort to excite and
gratify a curiosity in their minds to learn
something of civilized life. In subduing their
savagery, in weaning them from their Ish
maelitish proclivities, in coaxing them to agri
cultural and other industries, and in establish
ing a neighborly, instead of a distrustful and
jealous, feeling between them and our people,
will lie our only security against perpetual
trouble with them. For the territory to which
it is now sought to remove them, out of the
way as it is from the highways that are thus
far contemplated, will not be out of the way
of highways and cross routes that will yet be
necessary for the march of an emigration
destined to claim every rood of the far West
ern 6011.
