Not n Nrgro Halfinc of Power, but n
Jtcbcl Jlalance of Power, our Great
Danger. i
Tdb leap from absolute cuattelhood, under
the old system of slavery, to the condition of
full oKizenship, is so great that It is not at all
Surprising that many conservatives should be
gomewhat alarmed at the new order of things
in 1.a late Rebel States. Yet we think that
careful reflection will convince any candid
man that impartial suffrage is the only safe
basis of reconstruction.
It is evident that somebody, sooner or later,
in the Rebel States, must be clothed with poli
tical power. Nobody contemplates the military
governments as a permanent arrangement.
Their function is merely temporary, to pre
serve peace and protect life and property,
until constitutional civil governments can be
established.
The question, then, not as a question of sen
timent or philanthropy, lbut as one of prao
tical statesmanship, recurs To whom shall
political power in these States be granted?
This question can be properly answered only
by keeping In mind the great and controlling
fact that these are States which have lost their
governments through a protracted and san
guinary attempt to overthrow the power and
authority of the Government of the United
States. The state of things which we are
called to confront, is one which grew directly
out of and was caused by the Rebellion. Re
oonBtrnotion was carried on with constant
reference to this fact. To ignore it would be
to act in the dark, and without any guiding
prinoiple.
Now, If the people of the South were all
Rebels, or pretty unanimously so, the problem
' of reconstruction would indeed be' a niost deli
cate and perilous one. The powers conferred
by the Constitution upon States in this Union
are so vast and varied, so capable of being
wielded against the integrity and safety of the
nation itself, as we have had abundant evi
dence in the Rebellion just suppressed, that
the polioy of clothing Rebels who have just
been defeated in an effort to overthrow the
Government with these tremendous capabilities
of doing mischief, would be a question of the
most serious moment. And if it presented
itself in this form, an indefinite occupation of
the late Rebel States by military force, dis
tasteful and dangerous to our republioan in
stitutions as such a proceeding must be, might
be the only alternative left. Fortunately,
the problem does not present itself in this
form. By a providential arrangement, the
people of the late Rebel States are divided
Into two great classes, viz., the loyal people
and the disloyal people; and these classes are
nearly equal in numbers. The disloyalists
comprise, generally speaking, those who sup
ported the Rebellion, and are all white; the
loyalists oomprise' all the colored people, and
In some of the States quite a large percentage,
though a decided minority, of the whites.
Now, the real question which at present
divides parties on the subject of reconstruc
tion, is as to whioh of these classes should be
entrusted with the controlling political power
in the reorganized States. The Domooratio or
Johnsonian plan is to put the power into the
Lands of the disloyal class, and to make them
the dominant element in every reconstructed
State. This they propose to accomplish by
disfranchising all the oolored citizens, who
form the great majority of the loyal class.
Political power being confined exclusively to
the white race, and all the oolored citizens
being disfranchised, the Rebel ele
ment would have full and undis
puted supremacy in every one of the
reconstructed States. It would do this, when
In every one of them tm absolute majority of
U the people would be loyal to the Union; for,
taking the colored citizens and the white loy
alists together, they form a majority of the
people of each of the Rebel States. This plan,
then, would inevitably result in the formation
of a Rebel oligarchy in the South, filled with
hatred to the Union, having full possession of
the State governments, and ready at any
opposition movement to turn all their powers
against the nation's integrity and life. The
arms of the arsenals, the militia, the revenues
and resouroes of all these States, would be
exclusively in the hands of men who hate the
Union, who have done their best to destroy it,
and who might, under more favorable circum
stances, repeat their bloody experiment with
better prospects of suooess.
Now, in view of the terrible struggle through
Whioh we have just passed, the precious lives
we have sacrificed, the enormous amounts of
money we have spent, the tremendous debt
we have heaped up, we ask seriously whether
this plan proposed by Mr. Johnson and the
Demooratio party is wiae or safe? la it naoh
an one as should commend itself to the con.
tervative sentiment of the country ? Can we
afford to incur such a national riak ? We do
not now ask whether it would be ju,t to the
disfranchised citizens, or to the loyal white
minority put under the feet of a ruthless IUbel
oligarchy. .Wo purposely exclude all oonside
rations except those of pure governmental
policy in the reoonstruotion of States over
thrown by rebellion. We simply ask
whether any . people or Government on
earth, after going through what- we
have gone through with to suppress
a groat Rebellion, would be so infatuated as
TIIE DAILY EVENING- TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1867.
to turn round and put into the hands of Its
enemies such tremendous and threatening
powers f For, remember that, tinder this
plan, not only would the Retel ollgarohy have
supreme control of twelve States in the Union
(for Maryland and Kentucky are already in its
power), but it would hold the balanoe of
power in the general Government itself. We
hear a groat deal of a negro balanoe of power,
but what we have really to fear is a Rebel
balance of power a Rebel oligarchy whioh
shall not only dominate over the loyal people,
white and black, of the South, but shall be
come the controlling element in the nation, as
was the old slave oligarchy from whose loins
it sprung. Nor is this an idle fear. Maryland
and Kentucky are examples before our very
eyes. Maryland is now as thoroughly in the
hands of the Rebels as it was in 1801, and
were occasion to offer, Union soldiers would be
massacred in the streets of Baltimore even aj
they were then. And yet if all her citizens
were entrusted with political rights, Mary
land would be as loyal to-day as Pennsylvania.
In Kentucky the highest social and political
crime a man can have been guilty of is
that of having been a loyal man during the
Rebellion, and the greatest recommendation
any man can have as a candidate for office is
the fact that he was a traitor to the Govern
ment of the United States. And yet, if all of
Kentucky's citizens could speak at the ballot
boc, she would be as thoroughly on the side
of the Union as is Ohio. A Rebel oligarchy
dominates Kentucky because tens of thousands
of her loyal citizens are disfranchised. We do
not get the true voice of Kentucky. We get
the voice of her Rebel minority which has
usurped the reins of power. The fate of Ken
tucky would be that of every one of the Rebel
States under the Johnsonian plan of recon
struction. The Rebel minority in each of
them would become an oligarchy, ruling the
loyal but disfranchised majority as with a rod
of iron. Is this what we fought the war for ?
Is this to be the fruit of victory, turning to
ashes on our lips ? Is this the outcome and
finality of our great struggle 1 Let the people
answer at the polls.
Republican Support for Judge' Ludlow.
Ah advertisement inserted in a morning con
temporary cites the opinions of two Repub
lican journals of our city in favor of the reelec
tion of Hon. James R. Ludlow, which opinions
were expressed by them some months ago.
By so doiDg the Democrats attempt to make
use of an argument in favor of the members of
the Republican party voting for Judge Lud
low, and seek to secure as many radical votes
as can be obtained by the old ruse of reoalling
bygone opinions, and claiming support on
high moral grounds. The truth of the matter
is, that the conduct of the Democracy, sinoe
this expression of opinion by the journals
quoted, and the assent given by Judge Ludlow
to that conduct, has been such as to compel
the Republican papers to retract their sup
port, and declare in favor of Hon. M. Russell
Thayer.
The only ground on whioh the journals of
our party were willing to sustain the reelec
tion of the present Judge rested on a desire to
raise the judiciary above the turmoil of parti
sanship. In every article written on the sub
ject that was the sole and great cause for
going without the lines of the party. It was
proposed to reelect the present incumbent be
cause it was supposed that by such an aotion
we would soar above party and avoid any in
termingling of partisanship in the election.
While our contemporaries were indulging in
their Utopian ideas, we were opposing any
such course, because, by the peouliar forma
tion of the human mind, a state of complete
political neutrality is a mental impossibility.
The judgment of every man must lean either
one way or the other, and such being the case,
we desired a gentleman on . the benohJ whose
opinions were consonant with our own. The
issue proved that we were oorreot. The
Democracy, elated at a chance of
securing a party inumpn, were un
willing to let Judge Ludlow be returned as
a no-party man. They wanted something out
of which they could coin political capital. So
that, when the convention of that party met,
they dragged the perfectly willing Judge and
all hi3ninwilling Republican supporters into
the rankB of that organization, and after hold.
ing a war dance around them as new converts,
proceeded to appropriate Judge Ludlow to
themselves. A platform mosf obnoxious, an
offense to every loyal man, was adopted, and
upon it Judge Ludlow consented to stand. The
result was instantaneous. Some of our con
temporaries, who had lent their support in
order to make the election not a political one,
were determined that if it was, despite their
efforts, to assume suoh an aspect, they would
not be found with such companions as Carrigan
and Reed. They, therefore, retracted all they
had said in favor of Judge Ludlow, and came
out like patriots in opposition to any one who
would stand on so infamous a platform as that
put forth by the Democratic Convention. Their
course was not inconsistent. They are not
retracting their own words. They spoke be
fore under a delusion. They tried to gain an
objeot and failed. It is not falsifying their
utterances by their returning to their old
party. They tried to rise above party; falling
in that, and necessitated to make a choice,
they naturally favor the loyal party or the
war, and not the Beml-traitor disloyal band
who Lave tried to entrap them. Judge Lud
low has to thank his friends that the Republi
can support is all withdrawn from him. By
this one aot he has placed himself in suoh a
Potion that no Union man can vote for him;
so tb.t, by quoting the opinions of our oon
temporariea expressed before his aot, no in
fluence can. be brought to bear by means of
the commendauona then beBtowed on Judge
Ludlow as a no-party candidate.
To-day he is the Democratic nominee, stand.
ing on the Demooratio platform, ami his eleo
tion would be a Demooratio victory. When
the quotations in onr editorial were written,
he was not a partisan, and his election would
not Lave been esteemed a victory by Johnson
and his party. The times are changed, and
the true act of consistency is for all those
who favored Judge Ludlow in May to oppose
him now. He has deserted them, and has
been monopolized by the enemy; and if they
continue to support hitn, they will stand side
by side with the men who hiss Sheridan and
cheer Vallandigham. Between such an alter
native and a return to the old faith, what
gentlewan or loyal manoan hesitate a minute f
Who litis the Law oh His Side.
A mohnino contemporary, with an owl-like
show of wisdom, attempts, to day, in a
labored leader, to prove that the grounds
taken by us in regard to the enlist ineut of
Gormley in the Marine Corps were false in
law. We quote the words of the article:
"The name principles (an In the opinion of
Judye rtlatcliford, already cited by uni, we pre
sume, are held to apply to enlistments la the
Marine Corpa, and in thai, case the minor
under eltlitien go to the Secretary of the Navy
for discharge,
"Upon this decision the following observa

secure well-trained apprentices now, but it
would be Infinitely harder to secure them then.
It 1h difficult. In many cases, to maintain
parental authority now; but if the general
practice should be according to Judge UUtoti
ford's Interpretation of the laws. It will be
nlmoHt impossible. Trie rigid execution of the
enlistment laws should, therefore, be reserved
for war Units exclusively, and until they are
modified, both the Secretary of War and the
Secretary of the Navy should instruct their
BtiDonll tittles to discourage the enlistment of
minora, unless they b-ive the express consent
of their parents, guardians, or masters."
In this it will be noticed that our contemporary
Btates the same law applies to the army and
the Marine Corps, and further states that the
body of the enlisted man must be produced in
Court. For the instruction of our neighbor,
and in order to show how little relianoe can
be placed in opinions founded on bias and not
on legal education, we quote entire a decision
rendered by the celebrated Justice Gibson, of
our State Supreme Court, rendered by the
Court sitting in bano, and reported in 11 Ser
geant and Rawle, 93. The deoision was ren
dered April 10, 1824:

therefore, being out ot toe question it is unnecessary

rizes the enlistment of minors as seamen, as I am

where it is beneficial; and 1 am far from bring con
vinced that the contract ot enlistment is not, In con
templation ol law, of that klud. But put the cuse on
broader ground the ground of public policy, which
requires that a minor be at liberty to enter into a con
tract to serve the Htate, wherever such contract Is not
positively forbidden by the state Itself, during the ex
istence ot wklch service parental authority over hint
Is suspended, though not annihilated. This is the
common law of England, and there Is nothing lu the
constitution of the Government, or of the circum
stances or the people of this country, to atl'ord a rea
son why It i hould uot be the commou law uere. In a
state ol war the necessity of such a principle is obvi
ous; and the same ntcesslty exists, although In a loss
digree, In slate of peace. But there is, If It were
nccrstarv to report to it, another ground luderietidant
of this, on which the person whose liberation Is in

clear that he must abide the sentence of acourt mar

its secrets to the enemv, escape military punishment I
by claiming the privileges of infaucy. The vary 1
camp-loliovaers are subject to military law. Tuessme
reason Is equally auulicuble to the marine and naval :
service. But this principle Is so well established aud
so generally uuderatonu, that It Is deemed unneces
sary to enlarge on it or lo-c.to an authority in support
of it. On both grounds, therefore, but parilo 'larly on
the first, themiiiine. Abraham Ward, is remanded to
the custody of his olllcer. Prisoner remauded."
How to Treat Guests. The Chesterfield- j
like courtesy of the Demooratio part is illus- i
trated by the following artiole in our Demooratio j
contemporary this morning. After inviting
Gen. Bheridan to visit our city, against whioh
invitation not a Democrat but two voted, the
organ of that party held up before him the
expense he cosf us. Would it not be well for
our contemporary to send him a bill of items,
so as to impress him with the obligation under
which he rests f Such is the idea some people
have of hospitality:
"Hherldan has departed from Philadelphia
on h is dlhorediiable political pilgrimage, but lie
tins, left behind hint a big bill for the city to
foot. Tbousaudsof dollars have been recklessly
and extravagantly spent by the radical 'rins'
having him la charge, for feeds, carriage hire,
and a variety of Incidentals, all of wbioli will
come out or the pockets of the heavily bur
dened lax l ayers. In this way Is the people's
hard -earned money squandered by the radical
hi endlhrifte, aud the honest, hard-working
mechanic, who cannot afford to buy
meat for his children more tlmu once a week,
is compelled to furnish reed birds, ohampague,
aud cigala for nui.gry radloula."
CbarleB Dickens writes to a friend in
Boston: "I notice that about onoe in seven
years I beoome the victim of a paragraph
disease. It breaks out in England, travels to
India by the overland route, gets to America
per Cuuard line, strikes the base of the Rocky
Mountains, and rebounding back to Europe,
mobtly perishes 011 the steppes of Russia from
inanition and extreme cold."

460 MILES OF THE.
IMON PACIFIC RAILROAD,
Running West from Omaha Across
llic Continent,
Are now completed, and It la expected that the re
maining W miles, to carry the traek to tbe bass ol the
Bocky Mountains, win be finished early in October
Contracts nave already been made for rook-cuttlhsa
beyond, to be done during the wloter. The work la
belngpasbed forward with equal energy on the Call
lorn la end of the route, under the direction of the
Central Paclno Company, commencing at Saora
mento, and It Is confidently expected that the two
roads will meet In lwo, thus completing the entire
grand line connecting the At'antlc and PaclBe oceans
on which THIRTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS la
casta have already been expended. From the liberal
Government aid, the wealth and energy or the stock
holders, and the ready maiket tor the First Mortgage
Bonds, there Is no want ef funds lor the most vigorous
prosecution of the work, and Its early completion is as
certain as any f -ture buRlueas event can be.

From the relative high charges, the operating ex.
penses of the road are but 82 per cent, of the earn
ings, and the ratio would be much less if the contrac
tor's business were not done at half rates. Throwing
out charges to contractors for transportation of mate
rials and men (47,283'41), and deducting from tbe
aggregate of all operating expenses (:i5,530'2) OJi
per cent. (tlB7,S64'42) as the proportion chargeable on
tbe work done lor contractors, which was less than
actual cost, because of the hair price charged for It,
and we have the net operating expenses on the com
merclal business for the quarter, i7,95S'SO. The
