To this the editor replies at much, length.
To iiecin with, ho announnes hiinself aa in a
paitiuularly amiatile mood that morning, at
the prospect of the early destruction of radi
calism, and, therefore, as incliued to be
magnanimous, and, as liotmys, "to treat the
writer with more courtesy than has been our
wont, and while we explain the questions be
propounds to us directly, furnish some expla
nation why we have been out of all patience
With Win." He then proceeds first to dis
course upon the enormity of the sins of Mr.
Moore, who, being a native, bad turned rene
gade to the South, and had not ouly been an
original Union man w built the editor implies
he might forgive, with repentance but had
united himself with the Republican party,
Which the editor proceeds to aocuae of crimes
which makes men outlaws, and justify society
in taking the higher law into its hands, aud
putting them summarily out of existence.
Having thus marked Mr. Moore as a traitor
to the South aud an outlaw, to be dealt with
in the good Seymour-aud-bMair time ooming,
and plainly intimated to hiiu that he had
better be considering whether he ought him
Belf to be allowed to live in the South, rather
than concerning himself in the question
whether it would be safe for Northern men to
bring their capital there, the editor mildly
draws the conditions upon which Northern
men may be tolerated, as follows:
If a radical capitalist desires to establish here
an extensive concern, be will meet wiili not
ouly no opposition, but, will be welcomeJ, pro
vided be will pursue hU avo-aliou without Ira
terniaing with those who seek to continue the

denounced as scalawiies aud carpet-baggers, and
are striving for oftioiil posltlou through the

can explain to bis New Kngiand correspondent
that radical merchant may flud a safe Invest
ment here. Should the dominant party who
seem willing to sustHlu Congress In lis usurpa
tions prove successful, ana proscription aud
dlsfranohisemeut continue to be pressed. It is
but natural to Infer that no good feeling will be
engendered between those who are deprived
of their rights and such as uphold such deprlva
lion. To retaliate is natural to the disposition
of mankind, and our people will submit to In
convenience, will prefer an Inferior article, or
pay a higher price, rather thaD sustalu those
who seeiu intent and determined on degrading

rnon sympathies of humaulty.aud whose whole
stock in tiadeisconsuuimate Impudence, brazen
effrontery, aud thorough social aud political
equality with tne race suddenly transformed
Xiom slaves into enllghted suff ragans.
We commend to the people of the North to
the white people this statemeut of the terms
upon which they may be permitted to live in
the South. They may come, provided they
will renounce all amliation with the He pubu
can party; and this means all fidelity to the
National Government. Otherwise they will
be considered guilty of all these charge B and
epithets which are meant to make them social
outcasts, to deprive them of the protection of
law, and to excite against tnem an ignorant
and truoulent mob. Unless he disowns all fra
t6rnity with the Republican party of the North,
and becomes an abject supporter of a Rebel
class who will never recognize in him anything
bat their political serf, the Northern emigrant
will be spotted as a subject for vengeance in
the good time coming, and for plunder and
maltreatment in auy of the riotous outbreaks
which are frequent social exeroises in the
South.
Not that it is a crime to be politically a3so
ciated with negroes; for the Demooratio party
are making the most ensrgetio exertions to
get the negro vote; but it is that the master
class claim the votes of the blacks as their
property, just as they before claimed their
bodies and souls, men, women ana children
If the negroes vote with the Republicans the
Rebel class think they are robbed of their
property Aud because the blacks, knowing
their own interest, vote generally with the
Republicans and the Northern people, the
Rebel class feel toward the Republicans the
Eame ferocity that they used to against Abo
litionists. Thus the Democratic party may
have the negro vote without attaint; but woa
to the white Republicans, immigrant or native,
who have negroes voting with them ! Nj
criminal accusations are bad enough for them;
no vengeance is too cruel.
These are the terms upon which the old
ruling white class want to reconstruct the
South. These are the terms the Northern
Demooratio party are striving to establish by
the election of Seymour and Blair. Their
platform declares that the State Governments
Which now give protection to loyal men are
null and void, and their candidate fur Vice
President has announced the programme to
carry it out. But this does not make a free
country. No one who has manhood will be
content until he oan go anywhere throughout
the nation, and carry with hitn his political
liberty and Ins rights of citizenship. The
Democratic leaders, who would in a moment
reduce this country to a despotism if they
could be the despots, would like to restore the
Rebellion to snch poweT In the South that
none but a Democrat oonld live there.- But
are the mass of the Demoorats desirous to
destroy political liberty because they may not
desire to use the liberty to differ with their
party t
Human nature is so constituted that gene
rally the taking away of rights excites a desire
to use them, where before there was indiffe
rence. If a Democrat has the soul of a mo,
he will not be content to be a Democrat nnder
doeruion. lie will be inolined to assert his
right to be anything else if he shall so choose.
If we bad a majority who were willing to be
excluded from one-half of the country, exoept
npon condition that they fihall give up their
political rights, we should b unfit for any
government that could be called free or repub
lican. We have a party that is trying to re
duce this country to Just that condition; tht
regards this right of proscription as a Southern
right, and that would reduce the Northern
people to this vassalage to the South.
Our readers can see by this very good testi
mony of tbe Avalanche., whether tuny had
belter take their capital into the South, or
make their home there; and they can see also
Low essential to tho tranquility of tbe Sjnth
is' tbe election of Graut and Colfax. That is
peace, and all the restoration that will come
from security to lite and property. The other
gives us no promise of peace, but, instead, a
threat of war. .

Tbe rrepent Leclslatnre of Alabama was
chosen entirely by Radicals the Rebels or
Conservatives refusing to vote. They wera
tot content with this refusal, but instated that
none should vote whom they could not con
trol. They threatened to bliok-list every
white, and deprive of employment every black

their word. We have seen black-lists printed

inony of an eye-witness who saw forty colored
men discharged from one cotton-press directly
on their return from voting. 1 hey chose to
fuller hunger and cold that their children
Djitiht be truly free.
Ihe Rebels hoped, by thus refusing In con
cert to vote, and subletting all who did vote
to social ostracism aud want, to defeat the
Constitution; as Congress required that half
the registered voters Bbould exercise their
right of sunrage to give validity to the new
Constitution. Ihe proofs being laid before the
two Douses, they decided that the seventy-
odd thousand votes to ratify, were sufficient;
and they restored aud admitted the Sute on
the stiength of that vote. Thus, it happens
that the Legislature is radical, almost, if not
quite unanimously.
J he conservatives pretended, throughout
tbe canvass, to execrate the. Constitution
mainly because it followed the precedent set
by Congress in disfranchising those who were
prominent in the late Kebellion. But for that,
they mtimattd, they might bave endured the
remainder of the instrument.
Tbe Legislature, af er due consideration,
has raised an act removing all disfranchise
ments for rebellion. There was but one nega
tive vote in the Senate, aud but 1.5 against 16
in the House. Henceforth, there is no dis
franchised class in Alabama no person dis
franchised unless for some uon political felony.
J he chiet Democratic clamor against "carpet-
bag" and "nigcer" rule in Alabama is there
fore silenced. All her people are equal in right
and law. ihe fourteenth amendment ex
cilices; but reserves to Congress the right to
remove this disability. No one can doubt
that Congress will respect tbe aolion of the
Legielatuie iu the premises and remove every
vestige ot disability, provided the Rebels do
not seek to disfranchise the blacks. In short,
the Republicans of Alabama propose a full and
final peace on the basis of universal amnesty
impartial suffrage. And they do not wait
to bargain or exact equivalents they hew
square vp to the line, leaving their adversaries
free to follow or not follow their lead. It will
yet be realized that their action was no less
wise than bold and generous.
Alabama had in 1S60 (by census)
white to 435,132 colored inhabitants. Though
the whites lost most by the war, she canuot
now bave less than 5UU,UIKJ whites to (at most)
4.i(i,000 blacks, bhe registered, last year, 74,
4;"0 white to 1)0,340 black voters. But aside
from those disfranchised by act of Congress)
there were many whites who declined or ne
glected to register, or take any voluntary part
in what they stigmatized as "nigger recon
struction." JNow that all are entranchtsed
there cannot be less than five thousand and
may be as many as ten thousand majority of
white voters. How, then, can the cry ot
"negro supremacy" be raised with effect in her
case r
The Legislature of Georgia has nearly, if
not quite, perfected an enfranchising act. sub
Manually like that of Alabama. There is no
doubt ot its passage, though the Rebel-chiefs
are doing their worst to protract that disfran
chisement which gives them distinction and
consequence. Their violence, their social
proscription, their vaunts that they still
cherish the principles which made them
Rebels, are calculated, and probably intended, -
to nave tniB eiiect.
No matter: let the Republicans everywhere
be boldly generous in abolishing all disfran
chisements. We are confident that every
Southern Legislature we mean every radical
Legislature, not those of Kentucky aud Mary
land will gladly unite iu making peace for
ever on the basis of universal amnesty im
partial sniirace.
Why should not the action of the Alabama
Legislature command seme reooguition at the
bauds of the Northern conservative press ?

From the N. Y. Times.
We trust that the Associated Press des
patch correctly indicates the purpose of the
President in regard to the application of tbe
Louisiana Executive. The Government will
not err in considering the situation "one of
delicaoy, and requiring great discretion," aud
it will acquit itself creditably if it "use its
powers and perform its duties under the
Constitution and the laws to repress dis
order with promptness and vigor." The re
quirements will not be met, however, if as
another correspondent states tbe matter be
referred to the Secretary of War with in
structions to issue a general circular for tbe
information aud guidance of tbe Southern
Governors. A circular will do no harm, per
haps, but a grave responsibility will be in
curred if some more potent action be not at
once taken in tbe case of Louisiana.
The subject is .invested with peculiar im
portance in consequenoe of the significance
attached by the Southern opposition to recent
declarations of the President. The form of his
references to the new Legislatures and officials,
and the broad ground he has assumed against
their legality aud validity, coupled with hU
endorsements of the claims of functionaries
fcet aside by Congress, more than excuse the
conjectures Ol tbe Southern extremists. They
are justified by Mr. Johnson's own language
in contending that the new Governments can
uot look for help at Lia hands. If the infer-
enoe does him injnstioe he has only himself to
thank for it. The construction put by the
South On what he wrote is the construction of
which it la obviously susceptible. It i?, there
fore, important to know whether Mf. jonnson
Is prepared to act on Frank Blair's conception
of Executive dnty, or whether Mr.Evarta pre
sence in the Cabinet has led to the adoption oi
wiser counsels. ' ' ' ' " ' " '
The Tresldent has now an opportunity or
vindicating his good faith, and at the same
time counteracting a portiea of the mischief
wrought by biinsejt on southern opinion.
Ills treatment of the ijouisiaua ci'unuu
will do much good one way or anothr. It
will repress the ri-dtig tendency of lawlesne.n
aud violence, or will add to its audacity and
force.
Tbe popular presumption among tne more
violent opponents of reconstruction 18, in at
the l'retident is with them heartily. Their
plans are formed on this hypothesis. iny
calculate on the impunity wniuu arises irom
Executive favor. Their estimate of the weak-
ness of the newiy-organizea uoveruui-u.a
based on the belief that, on tbe oocurrence of
. . ..... i . . . . . i .
disorder, they will be left to their own re
sources, unaided by the iNauonai uoveruinut.
These vitws have undoubtedly contributed
greatly to the couhleiii;e which the assailants
ot Congress now profess. - Thoy render iutel
ligible the, olherwie inexplicable boldness
which has inaiked the outburs's or tin Kbei
spirits since the nomination of Seymour and
Lliur.
The cotirpe of tbe President now will deter
mine bis relation to the extremists, aud the
measure of favor with which he regards thir
movements. , If, on aoy pretext, lie .withhold
the assistance solicited, or if he parley instead
of acting, or Bend forth circulars instead of
ordering the concentration ot soldiers, the
Rebels will count him on their side, and push
forward thiir schemes more energetically than
ever. ' i
On the contrary, if Mr. Johnson, subordi
nating spite to duty, act promptly aud effect
ually in the manner suggested by the Gov
ernor of Louisiana, disloyal combinations
will be checked, aud an assurance given
that tbe work of Congress will be upheld
against all violence by ihe National Govern
ment. Uccoiifrtnictioii aud its

Men who came eminpnt out of the war

tarnished in peace the lustre they achieved in
war. To specify all the acts which each of the
fallen ones did, and which braud them, would
take too much space. The principal offenses,
however, are as lollows: sickles and Cauby
have suppressed courts, suppressed papers,
and preferred to appoint the worst meu from
the most ignorant aud criminal class of blacks
and whites to olh".es in North aud South Caro
lina. Pope and Meade have done the same;
also bave certified to false election returns; an 1
notably the latter has had more innooent men
imprisoned and put to the torture on the pre
text of having been concerned in a murder of
which even a military commission organized
to convict could not hud them guilty. Ord
was guilty of the petty absolutism and infinite
meanness ol imprisoning editors for presuming
to criticise his administrative aots, aud he
played the personal tyrant to a degree as
ridiculous as it was rigorous. McDowell in
herited from Ord the same programme, and
overturned the whole governmental machinery
of a State, not because the incumbents were
objectionable, but because a few staff favorites
had been promised the places.
Sheridan is the only commauder whose mis
management culminated in blood and expired
in insubordination. He wears the radioal
rebel riots of New Orleans in bis crown, aud
learns now that the bursting of the bubble
which his administration was leaves him one
of the fussiest and smallest objects that blur
the daub of reconstruction. Mower equalled
his predecessor in maliguity, but could not
match him in pretentiousness. He oonsorted
by choice with negroes and adventurers, aud
prevented a free and fair election in Loui
siana.
We will not follow these men into that re
tirement in which life is not .long enough for
them to linger until their excesses can either
be lorgotteu or repaired. They have acted
tbeir part, strutted their little hour, and they
can stand aside
It is what led to their courBe, and what that
course teaches which onht to claim attention
What led to it proceeded in the first place
from the laws, and in the second place from
the men. The laws were cruel, crude, and
despotic. Tbe men were either political cour
tesans, like Pope and Sickles; wooden literal
ists, like Meade, McDowell, and Canby; in
flated popinjays, like Ord; or impetuous, in
subordinate men, like Sheridan and Mower.
Bad as the laws were, they bad a humane side
which these men were too stupid to see or too
hardened to regard. Heace the suffering of
the South, and hence the reproach under
which tbeBe eight cenerals writhe.
Their oareer surely teaches that military
men are the last in the world to be trusted
with the work of civil organization. Their
eenins is opposed to it. Give them power
and tbe sequel is despotism. Their habits
are the other wav. Force is their weapon,
force their argument, and force their justifi
cation. And yet the American peopie are
asked to eo under the rule of the same kind
of a man as those who have strangled liberty
and wrought horror and desolation la teu
States.
Mr. Seymour's letter.
From the Cliicaoo 2Ylbune.
The first paragraph of the voluminous
paper beurinur the signature of the Demooratio
candidate for the Presidency is his letter of
acceptance; the rest is a stnmp-speecn against
Congress, and particularly against measures
which did not pass that body and proposi
tions which were negatived.
Tbe letter of acceptance is plain and direot.
Mr. Seymour no longer declines. He id wil
ling to be a caudidate, willing to lie placed on
tbe platform, of which the liuaucial part was
framed by Pendleton, and the revolutionary
part by Wade Hampton. Not a word does he
ii-).
f av on tbe question raised between San Cox,
Vallanrifgham, and the ; New Tf oi k World on
tl e one baud, and Pendleton and the CMi'ao
times on tbe other band tbe question whether,
the public debt is to be "pid" iu greenbacks
or in "something that chinks." But upon
tbe Blair-Hampton proposal to institute a nw
civil war, he iwems to express an opinion, notj
boever, in his letter or acceptance, but in hU
btump-spw'ch, where he Bays: : '

1 he harangue Interposed between Seymour's
letter of acceptance and his aiguature is inge
nit'US in Its avoidauoe of direct statements
upon which Issue can be Joined. He hiuts
that much iniquity is pigeon-holed iu Waili-
mctou, which cannot be brought to light until
a Democratic administration shall uutie the
red-tape ot Congress, but he makes no eps
c fin charge. He "wants a clear statement of
what has been done wuh the money drawn"
frcin the people "during the past eight years;"
as if he could not read it in olliclal documents;
as if it were a secret that the millions ex
pended during the first half of the period
weie to put down a - rebellion led by bis
"triendB" aud present political associates, or
that all but tbe ordinary expenditures of the
Government authorized during the last three
years were to pay the bills contracted iu that
contest for tbe lite of the nation I He says
that Congress takes "a menacing attitude to
wards its eleotors, because it has adjourned
until September, with - purpose to reassemble
in case, and only in oase, a session is rendered
necessary by fresh usurpations on the part of
the President; because, that is to say, the
representatives of tbe loyal people of the
country, forwarned by sad experience, deem
it necessary to be in a positiou to defend their
constituents, if need be.
Much of Mr. Seymour's philippio Is direoted
against the new members lrom the Southern
States, whom he declares to be the controlling
power in Congress. Yet he knows perfectly
well that most of them were admitted just be
fore the adjournments, and thkt no proposi
tion introduced by any one of their number
was adopted. lie should know, also, that
though there may be among them some men
of moderate abilities and unhappy temper as
there are even amoug Northern Democratio
members there are others in every way fitted
to take part in legislation.
He is nearer right when he says that "the
mass of tbe Republican party are more thought
ful, temperate, and just than they were during
the excitement which attended the progress
and close of the civil war." Thoughtfuluess,
temperance, and the spirit of justice are not
the qualities which lead to success in warlike
operations; energy, decision, promptness of
action are required to conduct a campaign, or
a government which controls those who con
duct campaigns. It may be "temperate" to
Chll murderers "my friends," and "thought-
lul" to argue concerning the points of a draft,
while the bloody hands of Rebels are at the
throat of the nation; but such temperance and
such tbonphtluiness will never conquer a
peace. The Republican party is more
"thoughtful, temperate, and just" in time of
peace than in time of war, because such
qualities are necessary to gain the victories of
peace. Ibis admission by Seymour over
throws all the Bophisms which nsher it in.
Mr. Seymour devotes no little space to the
attempt to destroy the effect of General Grant's
simple words: "Let us have peaoe." He
complains that there is no peaoe at the South;
but wby not f Beoause bis supporters are not
willing to accept the inevitable and use their
inliuence to "check extreme measures.
Every sensible man knows that if Seymour's
statement were true that the "ohiefs of the
late Rebellion have submitted to the result of
tbe war, and are now quietly engaged in use
ful pursuits tor the support of themselves and
tbeir families, and are trying, by the force of
their example, to lead back the people of the
South to the order and industry not only
essential to their well-being, but to the great
ness and prosperity of our community," there
would be peace in the South. Some of the
"chiefs," to their honor be it said, are so
doing; but many and those the most applauded
by the supporters of Seymour are doing all
tbey can to provoke another civil war, and
they Bhont for Blair because he promises it
Let Hampton and the rest sheathe their
swords and give guarantees for good behavior,
and tbe loyalists can bave peaoe.
