Conservative Misstatements in Regard
to Disfranchisement Under thellecon
trnction Laws.
A conbervativk contemporary, in speaking of
the late election in Alabama, at whioh, by an
overwhelming majority, her people voted for a
Convention, says that "very few white men
Voted, the most of them having been disfranchised
by Congress."
Now that the elections are over, we had
hoped that there wonld no longer be any occa
sion for indulging in such gross perversions of
the truth as that contained in the portion of
the above extract which we have italicized.
Every Intelligent man knows, or ought to
know, that the Reconstruction acts, so far
from disfranchising "the most" of the white
citizens of the late Rebel States, really reach
to only a very small class of those citizens. It
has nniversallyeen conceded by all, exoept
the most rampant Copperheads, that the
leaders of the late Rebellion ought to be ex
cluded from taking a part ia the great work of
reconstruction. Andrew Johnson never uttered
a truer or more popular sentiment than when
he said that traitors must be made to take a
back seat in this business, and that the work
of reconstruction must be confided to loyal
hands. That he himself has proved treache
rous to his own avowed principles
does not render them the less true.
The loyal sentiment of the country
would have sustained Congress in going much
farther ia the work of disfranchising Rebels
than it saw lit to go; but Congress was liberal
and in a spirit of wise statesmanship sought
to strengthen the basis of the new political
communities of the South by enfranchisement,
rather than by disfranchisement. It recognized
the faot that the Rebel masses were, to a great
extent, the tools and victims of, their un
scrupulous leaders, and it exercised towards
those masses a generous clemency. It dis
franchised none of the common people. It
excluded only those who, from their position
in society, could properly be called lenders;
and even of them it disfranchised only those
who, having ia some official capacity taken a
solemn oath to support and defend the Consti
tution of the United States, afterwards broke
that oath by engaging in the Rebellion.
Now, just here let us pause a moment to
inquire whether this exclusion be not just
and wise. What loyal man will Bay that
these Southern leaders, who for years and
years had been plotting the Rebellion, and
who finally, in precipitating it, were obliged
to do so over their own broken and discarded
oaths, ought not to be excluded from the im
portant work of reconstruction f Ought they
not to be made "to take a back seat," as
Andrew Johnson said ? If ho, what is all this
conservative clamor about ?
But to return. The number of persona
thus disfranchised is necessarily very small
compared with- the whole bulk of the com
munity. It is the few, and not the many,
who hold office. To say, therefore, that Con
gress has disfranchised "the most" of the
white people of the South is absurdly false.
It has done no such thing. The vast majo
rity of the people are as free to go to the
Dolls and vote as they ever were. A Richmond
letter-writer in the New York Herald, who
does not conceal his hostility to the Recon
struction acts, estimates that in the whole
State of Virginia not more than five thou
sand persons are disfranchised by the law,
and his estimate accords with that made by
Governor Tierpont and other responsible
Southern authorities. The registration returns
themselves show that the masses of the white
people are not disfranchised. If it be ob
jected that the number of white voters regis
tered ia not as large as might have been
anticipated from the population, the sufficient
answer is that such a result is due to the
fact that many of the Rebels have doggedly re
fused to be registered. They had the opportunity
to be enrolled, but they relnsed to embrace it.
If they are not voters, therefore, it is their
own fault, and they are not entitled to a par
ticle of pympathy. The man who will not
take the trouble to conform to the require
ments of the law, and become duly registered
as a voter, does not deserve to vote. The fact
that this refusal to register was in accordance
with the advice of Northern Hebel sympathizers
shows the hollowness of this cry of disfran
chisement. Suppose that the Demooratto
leaders in New York should urge their party
followers not to register themselves for the
coming election, could they then turn round
after the time for registration had passed, and
oharge that they had been " disfranchised ?"
Manifestly not. Neither can those Rebel mal
contents at the South who have stubbornly
refused to be registered, now complain if they
are not allowed to vote.
The truth is, it is not Rebel disfranchise
ment but loved enfranchisement that troubles
these conservative croakers. They behold in
that great measure of practical statesmanship
the downfall of the partisan oligarchy which
lrna hitherto ruled and ruined the boutn
wi,- aw f u los-t of warty power. These
X LLvJ DOW -w '
r the muttering and groaus of expiring aris
tocracy that we hear. It dies hard, but its
hour has row. Republican uemo'jracy,
ba.sed upon equal 'fchts, is the rising power
in the South. Slavery and aristocracy have
had their day. It is now the people's turn to
rule.
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH TglLADELPmA, WEDNESDAY,
Has a Naval Officer n Right to a PoliU
cal Opinion?
A cubiops instance of the exeroiae of red tape
and tyranny has been furnished by the reoent
action of the Navy Departmennt in regard to
the court-martial of Engineer Oeorge F
Sawyer. That officer was oharged "with
using language disrespootful to the President
of the United States," was tried at Ports
mouth, and sentenced to be "suspended for
one year, lose three-fourths of his salary, aud
be publicly reprimanded by the Secretary."
The finding of the Court is confirmed, and we
have a delectable homily from the grand
dame of the Navy Department on the subject of
the duty of officers in the service. The faoti
of the case, as developed by the trial, alter
ssmewhat the inference conveyed by Mr.
Wells, and remove much of the culpability of
Mr. Sawyer. It appears that a number Of
officers engaged in a political discussion, and
that Mr. Sawyer, in reply to a charge
that Congress was "unjust," "tyrannical,''
and a "usurping body," declared his belief
that "Congress would fail of its duty unless
it impeached the President." These words
were spoken in the heat of discussion, and
were in reply to equally offensive remarks by
another officer. Immediately some tale-bearer
and time-server, one of those who are ever
ready to "crook the pregnant hinges of the
knee, that thrift may follow fawning," reports
these remarks to the Seoretary, who has Mr.
Sawyer court-martialled and suspended. But
was anything done to those who denounced
Congress ? Were the men who declared a
coordinate branch of the Government to be a
"usurping body" held to answer ? Not at all.
lie who merely exercised a citizen's right to
an opinion was disgraced, while others equally
guilty were allowed to go unrebuked. Suoh
a decision may be good on technical grounds,
but it shocks the common sense of the country
to see what is a palpable injustice go forth
with all the sanctimonious prating of that
thoroughly incompetent Cabinet officer. We
are not surprised that Mr. Welles wsuld like
to have all expressions of public opinion
crushed out. He would, doubtless, if he
could, compel us to do reverence to the Ad
ministration, and from the very wording of
his order we see how hardly he tolerates criti
cism. He says, with ill-concoaled regret, that
he caanot interfere with all alike, that "what
ever latitude of denunciation or abuse civilians
may choose to indulge in with regard to the
authorities of the Government, officers of the
Navy can claim no such privilege, oven under
the plea that they have aright to express their
opinions on political subjects." Not being
able, however, to deal so with "civilians," he
vents hi3 spleen against those who are within
his reach, and suspends Mr. Sawyer.
But the mere fact whether or not the pun
ishment in this particular case was just, sinks
into insignificance when compared with the
riueBtion as to whether or not an oluoer iti tue I
service of the United States has a right to en
tertain political opinions. It resolves itself
into the question whether the citizen is
merged into the soldier or sailor, aud the faot
that he is serving his country deprives him of
all right to an opiuion as to what is most con
ducive to her good. We do not think it does.
If an officer was to go so far as to utter dis
loyal sentiments, or even sentiments grossly
insulting to the Commander-in-Chief of the
forces of the United States, we agree
with Mr. Welles that he is "not only
wanting in the qualities of a gentle
man, but is wholly unfit for the military ser
vice." But the present case does not fall
under any such denomination. Tho House of
Representatives had referred to a committee
the question of impeachmont. The subject
hal leeu broached and discussed in the Hall
of the people's delegates. It was before the
country, and it was not a disrespect to the
President suoh as would warrant a trial and
conviction. It was merely the expression of
opinion on a subject suitable for such an ex
pression, and on which every citizen had a
right to think as he pleased. A soldier was
a citizen before he was a soldier, and in becom
ing the latter he did not cease to be the former.
Every officer, in any department of the Gov
ernment, has clearly a right to think and
speak on political topics with freedom, so that
he does not insult his superior officer. And
that the other parties to the discussion, those
who denounced Congress, were not repri
manded, is a proof that Mr. Welles was seek
ing to curry favor with Mr. Johnson, even at
the expense of justice. The Court which found
the verdict were but tools of Mr. Welles. As
the New York Times well characterizes the
whole proceeding, it was "a remarkable piece
of official toadyism;" and with justice adds
tkat, "if the Secretary undertakes to court-
martial all officers who 'speak disrespectfully
of the President' in these times, he will h:ivo
his hands full."
The whole proceeding seems to us so un
called for and so ridiculous as to be only ex
celled by the Turveydrop-like advice of
"old grandmother" Welles, when He aaas,
with a fluency acquired by quoting from
"Habits of Good Society," that "a naval oia-
er should be a gentleman in language aud
leportmeut. Good sense and good breeding
will always enable any individual to express
his opinions without giving just cause of
olleuse, and an officer who cannot do so Is as
much deficient in those qualities as he is in a
wense of miliiary duty when he treats his
mpeilor with disrespect."
Mr. Johnson instructing the officers of the
Navy, through his Seoretary, in "lauguage
and deportment," too good a scene to pass
by unnoticed. Would it not be well for Mr.
Welles to edit a work on the "language" proper
I to a gentleman, as furnished by his superior,
and have chapters devoted to such caption as
"dead duck," "a body L&nglng on the verge
of the Government," and tue Uke T And if
deportment is not sufficiently considered by
Turveydrop, then let the inaugural address
of Mr. Johnson and his "deportment" on that
ocoasion and the 22d of February be minutely
desoribed. If no photographs of the Presiden
tial attitudes on those oooasiona were taken,
the cartes de visite of Burton or Clarke as
"Toodlea" would do just as well. But, by all
means, let us have the red-tape work on
"deportment of gentlemen."
