General Sickles on tlic Congressional
Plan of KcconMruction.
There has been no clearer or more triutnpliaut
vindication both of tb policy and constitu
tionality of military reconstruction under th
laws of Congress, tban that furnished by
General Sickles in bis admirable speech in
Washington, nigbt before last. And we
would commend the perusal of this speech
specially to conservative Republicans and
war Democrats. The judgment of General
Sickles is that of a man educated in the Demo
cratic party, honored by it repeatedly with
high official position, yet who subordinated all
the demands of party to the call of his
country in her hour of need, who fought
skilfully, bravely, at the head of troops
that he himself had raised and led to the field;
who, since the war, has studied the problem of
reconstruction on the ground, has viewed it
in all iU lights, has seen the practical work
ings of all the plans tried, and who may fairly
l supposed to bring to the consideration of
this vexed subject au amount of practical in
formation and souud common sense which
should eutitle his views to the favorable con
sideration of all Intelligent citizens, lie is
more than a mere soldier. He is a General
who has the cultivation and breadth of view of
A'statesman.
It is not necessary to more than allude to
Oeneral Sickles' line of argument in vindi
cating the constitutionality of the military
governments in the late Rebel States. He
takes the strong and safe ground that the
authority of Congress to provide for the secu
rity of persons and property in conquered
territory until legal civil governments could
he established, is distinctly recognized by the
Supreme Court of the United States in a
familiar case reported in the twentieth volume
Of Howard, in the New Mexico case. The
Supreme Court decided that the military occu
pation of the territory of an enemy super
seded all civil government existing there, and
furthermore, that the orders, ordinances, and
regulations made by the military commander
remained in force until superseded by Con
gress, or by a looal civil government created
by the authority of Congress. . It may, there
fore, be maintained that in the Reconstruction
acts Congress has exercised no power not
Banotioned by the highest legal tribunal in the
land.
This is the Bafe, common sense view of a
lawyer who appeals to the law as declared by
the Supreme Court. There are other and in
dependent grounds upon which he might
Lave vindicated the action of the Government,
but this was sufficient.
He next proceeds to disouss the very im
portant question whether this constitutional
power has been exercised oppressively or
cruelly in the Rebel States. It is not enough
that a measure be constitutional; it should
also, in the highest sense, be politic. A per
fectly constitutional power must not be made
an instrument of injustice or oppression
Perhaps there is no impression which those
Opposed to these military governments en
deavor more sedulously to create in the public
- mind, than that they are being made the in
struments of tyranny over the Southern
people. We are treated to daily diatribes on
this subject, until we have no doubt that in
many minds the conviction has established
itself that the power of the Government is
being prostituted to purposes of oppression
Nothing oould be further from the truth. On
the contrary, the Rebel States never enjoyed
as many of the blessings of good government
A3 they have under the military governments
temporarily established by Congress. We
have just seen an instanoe of this in the case
Of General Sickles' oelebrated "Order No. 10,"
which for political purposes was denounced as
everything evil by parties outside of his dis
trict, but which Governor Orr testifies was a
measure of protection to the people, and en
dorsed by a very large majority of them.
General Sickles thus happily summarizes the
Acts of administration of our military com
manders in the Rebel States:
"If it be true that military commanders have
been lawgivers, It la aieo true mat tlieir orders
Lave been wilder and mare tiamaau tuaa Hie
Jaws th y superseded. Imprisonment for dob t
lias been abollsued; the doutu penalty hereto,
fore Imposed tor larceny lias been confined to
cases of homicide and olTeusesof equal gravity.
The semi barbarous yet legalized custom of
whipping men and women lor misdemeanors
bas been prohibited. That usage of feudal
times, according to wlilou the landlord, by his
own warrant, summarily seized the goods and
Chattels of bis lenuut, and turned an im
poverished and belple s family out of doors,
has been ubrogatbd. The freedmen have
been clothed with civil rights, and admitted
to all the employments of life. Tae cru
elties of prison discipline have been amelio
rated; the mischievous practice of oarrylng
weapons, that baneful source of affrays and dis
orders in Houlhern coiumuiilile', bas been re
pressed. The various forms of coercion em
ployed by a dominant class to subjugate and
humiliate the laborers dependent upou them
lor employment nave been swept away, and
the laws uiude appllcuble alike to all the In
habitants; and where famine threatened to
starve lhote left by a conscription whion
'robbed the cradle and the grave,' military
authority was exercised to rescue the borne of
the widow and the orphan from relentless cre
ditors, and enable even an utterly bankrupt
population to cuitlvalo land enough to obtain
the necessaries of life. If these acts are oppres
sive and cruel, then let condemnation fall upon
the Government and lis agents, wno have tried
to treat even their, adversaries with magnani
mity and benevolence."
Hot only this, but the military governments
temporarily maintained In the Rebel States
Lave been of vast nd incalculable positive
benefit to the South and to the country at
large. On this point General Sickles elo
quently remarks:
The system of free labor has been inaugu-
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHIL'ADELPIIIA, WEDNESDAY,
rated, and rind or military supervision tw mil
lion bales of cotton were raised In lrtiW. Millions
of emancipated slaves have been gradually as
similated with the elvll polity of the Htates
where they belonged: tranquillity and order
have been maintained during the most orltloal
period of transition, Ironi the relation of maHteT
and slave to the relation of man and man the
relation of political equality. Under the guaran
tees which military occupation afforded for the
security of llleaud property, Northern capital
and Northern enterprise have been rebuilding
the cities and cultivating the fields, restoring
the railrosds and navigating ttie waters,
constructing bildnos and establishing tule-
grnph lines, reopening com m erne and reviv
ing Industry, opening schools and ImllJlug
churches, from the I'nioinHC! to the Ulo Orundr;
and it bas been recently atlirnied by authority
than which none can be higher In all tltoHiuth.
Hint our presence and our measure have wveil
tln-lr public records iroin des' rucllon, uudih'dr
own civil olllcers from lawless violence. Nay,
more; 11 Is acknowledged that to tlieconsldo
rate nets of military adm'iitslrulloii they are
indebted for the opportunity of providing
means to f-uhslst their fmntlleN, nnd for pro
ducing the present crop, which promises to !),
In iniuiy respects, and lit many seotlous of the
Hnulh, the most Important and the largest

would be easy to prove by uhiindatil testimony
thai, without military occupation and control.
the restoration of the Rebel Htates would have
been delayed for years, ami. If ever attained,
would nuve ueen readied only auor various lu
tervalsof anarchy and coullict."
We have space to allude to only one more
point made in this admirable speech, and that
is with reference to the suffrage of colored
citizens in the Rebel States. General Sickles
cannot be stigmatized as a fanatic upon this
Question. He simnlv takes the case as he
finds it, and as a soldier and a statesman con
eiders what ought to be done, lie sees, as
every intelligent man must sae, that to leave
the colored citizen without a vote in these
States is to leave him utterly destitute of
the means of self-protection, and is to invite
the wildest scones of cruelty and violence in
the tuture. it is aiso to concentrate a
monopoly of political power in the hands of
the very men who have just laid down the
arms wherewith they madly sought to over
throw the Government. Let conservatives
who are so alarmed at the idea of negro suf
frage in the Rebel States, read these wise words
of General Sickles:
'Enfranchisement Is peace. Liberty without
rights, aud the means to protect them, Is war.
The only coudltlou upon which military occu
pation may cense lu too Rebel Elates, is to give
the ballot to the emancipated race, with that
shield of safety, they will bo secure from ort-
pre.-sion, and the country protected from sedi
tion and trensou. (Renewed applause.) It
follows, therefore, that the noaeo. nrosiwrltv.
aud weliuro of the Hoiuh have depended
upon a lemporary mll.lary coutroi over
their local governments, to be exercised only
until legal civil authority could be established
lu accordance with the requirements of Con
gress. The events of the Rebellion taught us
thai the enfrauchUeinuutof ull the loyal people
of the itebel Htates was au essential guarantee
of preset tend future security and repose, aud
that unless the freed people were enabled
to protect themselves by the billoi, they
would have been compelled, In self defence, to
seek refi'ge In the loyal Mtates, and overcrowd
ail the channels ol industry, or else to prevent
inaiexouusur urinous ul o lac us, llylug from
onir si-ors. TheUoverumeut world have been
compelled to protect them at home, by prolong
ing immary occupation nutu toe iteoei mate
Governments voluntarily afforded adequate
tecurlt, for the lives and p sbeslous of lue
loyal colored people; and It remains to ba
said mat the military officers on duty
In the Rebel States were sent thero by
the authority of Congress, and with the amo
tion of the loyal people who put down the
Rebellion, ex Dressed turough their representa
tives. Comrades, It is Impossible to undo that
noble act of justice which has elevated the
loyal freedmen of the South to the rank of citi
zens. From many poiuts of view there Is no
ronton to apprehend that u anbardlnuu rua
can do more than defend their rights. A. law
oi gravitation controls the moial as It does the
mawrlnl world. The weak cannot overcome
the strong members. Culture nnd destiny com
bine to assure the dominion of the white race.
It was Mr. Fore, I believe, who called a reac
tion the most dangorous form of a revolution,
(such would be the character of a reaction that
restorf d the Rebels and their friends to power.
May that day never dawn!"
Our Welcome to a Hero.
The Councils of Philadelphia, with a rare
unanimity, have extended the freedom and
hospitalities of our city to General Philip U.
Sheridan. In accordance with their invitation,
that distinguished officer will visit U3 this
afternoon, and all the people of our great
municipality will go out to meet aud welcome
him. The arrangements for his reception
have already been made public, and we do not
doubt that there will be such a display of
hearty endorsement, such a turning out of the
patriotic residents, as has never before been
witnessed. In giving this great display, a
double end is achieved. Not only do we honor
the man who most deserves it, but we also
slight that publio servant who has so richly
merited a slight. General Sheridan is as much
under disgrace as the action of Mr. Johnson
coma maKe mm; ne is, nominally at least, a
censured and condemned man, and for the
great City of Brotherly Love to rise up as one
man and bid him welcome, and commend him
and endorse him, is as bitter a rebuke to the
President as the people can conceive.
Not only is the tacit rebuke thus given to
Mr. Johnson, but a direct censure is thus
shown him. When the President passed
through Philadelphia, wa3 there a flag flying f
was there a crowd to oheer, or a committee to
escort ? The Quaker blood of Philadelphia
cannot tolerate deceit, and, at a slight sacrifice
of courtesy, the principle of not receiving ono
we despised has had its effect. But now
what an outpouring ! From every street will
come hundreds, and from every ward thou
sands, to welcome the Hero of New Orleans, as
well as of Winchester. We have no doubt
but that the reception will be worthy of the
man to whom it is extended. The indications
of the desire of the popular heart are too plain
to admit of a doubt, and Sheridan will be re
ceived with suoh wild enthusiasm as will
cheer him in his loyal course and speak in
thunder tones of condemnation to the man
who sought to effect his disgrace.
The Senate and Democratic Office
holders. Tub New York World insists upon holding
the Republican party responsible for the ras
calities and frauds of Democratic Federal office
holders, because the Senate, which is a Re
publican body, confirmed them.
We do not quote the statement to ooument
upon Its fairness or truthfulness, but simply
to call the attention of Republican Senators to
the use which is being made of their genero
sity in confirming Democrats. We have long
been of the opinion that the Senate should
refuse to confirm any offioer for any position
Who wa3 sot a sound Republican La politics.
General Lyle's Speech A True Copy.
Tub Democratic politicians are fearful lest
General Lyle's speech, which he made before
the Convention that nominated him for Sheriff,
will injure him and their ticket, aud therefore
deny the correctness of the report of It as
published in the city papers. They even say
that their own Democratic paper's report of it
was incorrect. To set this matter right, we
publish the speech below, as it was reported by
Mr. MoAran, a professional reporter aud pho
nographer, who is well known in this city, and
who is a Democrat. Mr. McAran has sworn
before Alderman Ogle that the following is a
correct report of General Lyle's speech:
"Mr. rresldeut, aud Gentlemen of the Con
vention: 1 have to ask oue grace of you, aud
Hint is, not to ask mo to make a speeon. lean
work, but I rnnnoi talk; but I can say that I
owe this Convention a debt of gratitude that I
never can pay. This Is, I think, the first time
in the bUtory of the party where they have
tlven the iiomlnatlou twice by auclamullou as
tin y liave given me. The work, gentlemen, Is
Jmt commenced. This is the commencement
of It. Let us canvas our precincts, and l 71
this colotii7.ution. Ofllcers of eloc ton, where we
are In the minority, should attend the
meeting, and the Return Judge, where
we have one, should attend the meeting
next morning, for there Is where the damage U
done, particularly where we are In the mino
rity. If westop this clieat.in'f, the lowest man on
our ticket will be elected by from GIKW to 8HK)
iiiBjoiliy. 1 have travelled the county over for

Jfir. 1 WAR not hratrn. I W'AH E LlOO T 15 1.)
UY A HaNDSOMH MAJORITY; but J wiu
covtited out. The right way Is not to let nese
kai-oai.s do It asalu. lean do no more than
thank you from my heart for the position in
which you have placed me. I will leave no
thing undone for the success of thi ticket."
Such was General Lyle's speech. Its ma
lignity and injustice are only equalled by the
ridiculous character of its assertions and the
speaker's evident vanity. The average Re
publican majority was over 4000, and this
General Lyle asserts was the result of "cheat
ing," although he knows that his own party
had election officers at every poll, and knows
that he himself was invited to be present, and
was represented by a friend, at the general
counting off. How could the Republicans
have cheated their opponents to this extent,
with chosen representatives of the latter
watching every movement and every vote that
was taken throughout the city ? If there were
any truth in General Lyle's reckless state
ment, it would argue that his own political
friends were falje to him and their
party, and that they were parties to
the "cheating" and to the "counting
out" of their own candidate for Recorder of
Deeds. But General Lyle was not only
"counted out" of a majority of votes, and
thus "beaten," but he was "elected by a hand
some majority." This "handsome majority,"
whatever it may be, must be added to the four
thousand and odd votes constituting the Re
publican majority, to show to the full extent
the cheating done by the radical "rascals" re
ferred to by General Lyle. If the General's
idea of a "handsome majority" is as magnifi
cent as his idea of his own popularity, he
must have been mo3t unhandsomely
and tremendously "cheated." TUo vauitjr
of the General's speech is remarkable
for a man bo modest, retiring, and unassuming
as our hero's friends are fond of representing
him to be.
But perhaps the most noticeable points in
Peter's outburst of unaccustomed eloquence
and unexpected vanity, in the shape of his
remarkable speech, are its impolicy and its
evident ingratitude. Its ingratitude consists
in its stigmatizing as "rascals" a party of men
some fifteen hundred or more of whom voted
tor mm last year, and us impolicy is seen in
its abuse of those from whom he must receive
several thousand votes, or be defeated this
year. General Lyle .ought to have used
honeyed words, thanking the Republicans
wno voiea ior mm last year, and "expressing
the sweet hope sweetly" that they would
repeat their kindness this year. His speech is
an insult to all the Republicans in Philadelphia,
and not one of them who entertains a proper
self-respect will vote for a man who has stigma
tized them as "cheats" and "rascals," while
all sensible men, of whatever party, must be
disgusted with the evidence of overweening
vanity that accompanies his vituperation.
The Boiler Question.
We recretted exceedinrlv tn tniinn of the
Common Council on Thursday of last week,
by which final action on the bill providing for
the inspection of steam boilers within the city
limits wa3 again postponed, after the adoption
of only one section. We are entirely at a loss
-to divine the reasons for this delay in provid
ing our citizens with the protection from instant
death which they have so long and so loudly
demanded. There is surely no objection to
the bill which cannot be overcome by a modi
fication, and it is just as easy to modify a bill
as it is to kill it by the lingering torture of
parliamentary tactics. The fearful disaster
on Sansom street is yet fresh in the minds of
the people, and two dozen families are still in
mourning for the untimely fate which befell
their supporters on that melancholy oooaaion.
The value of the property destroyed by that
one explosion would have been sufficient to
meet all the expenses attending the exeoution
of the ordinance for several years, while the
human lives which were summarily termi
nated by it cannot be represented by mere
dollars and cents.
Moreover, a few weeks only had elapsed
before our community was visited by another
disaster of a similar character, although not
so .terrible in its proportions. If the first
warning had been heeded, there would have
been no second warn ng; and even the former
might have been averted, V previous disasters
of the same kind had taught wisdom aud
human sympathy to our rulers. The Coroner's
jury in the last case, the explosion on South
Ninth street, were very outspoken in their
verdiot. They were practical engineers by
profession, and they unhesitatingly declared
that the accident was to be attributed chiefly
to "gross carelessness and a want of practioal
knowledge concerning steam and machinery
on the part of those having charge of the
boiler." But this was not the" sole cause of
the disaster, for the verdict further declared
that the engine was "totally Inadequate to
perform the work required of it, without
causing a greater pressure in the boiler than
it was able to bear." Future explosions, said
the jury, "must necessarily occur under the pre
sent system of management."
And yet "the present system of manage
ment," or rather the want of all system at
present, is still in force, and weeks have
elapsed since this verdict was given to the
public. The term of office of many members
of the present Councils is. rapidly drawing to
a close. When we clauce back upon the
record made by them in the performance of
the trust reposed in them by a generous and
confiding people, we find much to condemn
aud but little to commend. There will be an
opportunity to-morrow afternoon for action In
this one matter which will do a great deal to
elevate them in the estimation of the public,
and in their own consciences as well, if they
will but take the trouble to oonsult the feel
ings which they should possess as men, even
if they ignore them as politicians. We hope
this opportunity will not be neglected.
The University of Michigan is a noble
example of the rapid strides which some of
our Western States are making in the cause
of education. From present indications, the
number of students in all its departments for
the current college year will be as high as
one thousand three hundred. When it is re
membered that the standard of scholarship in
this institution compares favorably with that
of our best Eastern colleges, such a measure
of popularity as is chronicled in these figures
is truly remarkable. Some explanation of it
may be found in the fact that Michigan has
one of the best systems of common schools of
any State in the Union. These are the great
feeders of its splendid University.
