Assassination a ow Element lu American
Politics,
ffrvtw the in'T. ileruld. '
Ben Butler has discovered a new element In
American politic?. A few years ago the old
constitutional limitation of tbe term of oflloe
and the power of makiug a ohaDge quadren
nially were sufficient to satisfy those of oar
oitUens who happened to be opposed to the
politioal sentiments of a President of the
United States and to stand outside the pale of
his tempting patronage. Bat this is a pro
gressive age; the wo Id moves, and the hero
of Fort Fisher, with his accustomed shrewd
ness, peroeires that four years will in fat a re
be too long for men to wait for the removal of
an destruction to their personal advancement.
The process will be altogether too slow as
tedious and unsatisfactory as the digging of a
Dutch Gap Canal especially when the knife,
the bullet, and the poisoned oup oiler euoh
Sure and speedy relief. The assassination of
Lincoln is looked upon by Butler as a precedent
that will not fail to have its influence upon our
politioal future, and the suooess of that Rebel
experiment he believes will prove highly en
couraging to those who may hereafter find
themselves the friends of the second In power
Instead of the first. The weak point in this
reasoning appears to be the error in supposing
the assassination ot Lincoln to have been
a benefit to the Rebels. II ad Linooln lived,
the indications are unmistakable that he
would have carried out a broad policy of
generosity, liberality, and forgiveness towards
the Southern people; and he would have done
80 without . enoountering any serious oppo
sition from bis own party, and without draw
ing npon himself the pains and penalties of
tenure-of-offlce laws, impeaohment, and pro
traoted Congressional sessions. The Southern
States have realized nothing by Lincoln's
death except military rule, starvation, carpet
baggers, ' and negro supremaoy. Johnson's
friendship has been to them a curse rather
than a blessing; and if the experience since
he suooeeded to the Presidential office is to be
regarded as a fair speoimen of the benefits they
are to reap from the policy of assassination, it
will be long , before they desire to enlist
any more Booths into their service.
If Butler's philosophy were sound we should
witness a marked and singular change in our
whole politioal system. Oar ward politician,
instead of being represented in woodcuts with
a patoh over his eye, a broken hat on his
head, and a whisky bottle In his hand, would
take the character of the Spanish brigand,
with the slouohed hat, the black ; mask, the
pioturesque cloak, and the poignard. Oar
office-seeker would no longer approach the
Presidential mansion with a subdued air, a
clean shirt and collar, and full wallet, bat
woald force his way into the presence with a
defiant demeanor and the handle of a
Bowie knife sticking out from the back of his
coat-collar. Oar Presidential dreBS would
cease ' to be the highly respeotable broadcloth
coat, black pants, white shirt, and vest of the
same color, and our Chief Magistrates would
receive at the White House arrayed in fall
panoply of steel, with breast-plate, gauntlets,
and closed vizor.
Butler's idea evidently is that the days of
imperial Rome are to be reenacted in republi
can Amerloa, and that oar future Presidents
are to be knocked over one after another, like
so many pins in a bowling alley, after the
fashion of Caesar, Caligula, Domltian, and the
whole string of rulers in the latter days of the
empire. lie believes that a President's life
will not hereafter be worth an hoar's purchase
unless his constitutional successor should
happen to be a little more objeotionable than
himself. In this view of the case it will be a
matter of self-protection for a Presidential
nominee to insist that his associate on the
ticket shall be the meanest soalawag to be
found in the oountry. But we are not inolined
to believe in this new dootrine. Assassination
may be an essential element in some govern
ments, where a ruler who is detested by the
people must be endured during a lifetime, be
it long or . short; but under oar own
system, with a chanoe of getting rid
of an objectionable Chief Magistrate in
a more peaceable and less hazardous
way at the end of a brief official term, we have
no fear that the knife or the ballet will come
into general use. The experience of the past
two years is of itself fatal to Butler's theory;
for it has been seen that with all the inclina
tion in the world to get rid of Andrew Johnson
the radicals have failed even to out him off by
impeaohment, to say nothing of assassination.
Of course the great politioal panaoea pre
scribed by Dr. Butler, if used successfully by
one party, would not be discarded by the other;
yet we feel no apprehension that Grant's con
servative course as President will shorten his
life, even though so strong a radical as Colfax
will be second In power and his successor in
case of a vacancy. We should not objeot even
to insuring the life of tleratio Seymour daring
his term of office should he be eleoted Presi
dent; bat this is Buuh a remote contingency
that the belt wish we can offer to the Deer
field farmer is that he may never die till he
gets to the White House. ..
Just Where We Differ. .,
JVem the IT. Y. Tribune.
The World thns arraigns the Republicans
for proseoating the Presidential oontest as they
see fit:
"The Republicans are making the late war
the binge of the .Presidential campaign. Tftey
Invoke all tbe oilier anlinoelUes and aeotlonal
hatred wtiicb prevailed when we were drafting
Boldlem to fliibt agalust tbe South. To accuse
tbe Demooratlo party of alaok at u in tbe war Is
regarded aa their bent electioneering weapon.
To denounce the Southern people a lie be i la
tbougbt the best lUHtlrtcatlon of tbe Republican
poUoy. Xbe subjugation and humiliation of
the Booth Is as much tbe aim now as It was six
year ago. It Is not a policy of peaoe, but of
passion, revenge, and domination. Tbe symbol
of tbe canvass on the Republican aide Is tbe
word. I us leader is a man who knowa no trade
tut war, selected because the old feeling of hos
tility would more naturnllv ml lv arnnnrt him
than a Biatenmau or a civilian. If Virginia
abould send General Lee to tbe Senate, or if tbe
Boutbernera in tbe Democratic Convention bad
asked for bis nomination for the Vice-Presidency,
such a selection would be denounoed by
tbe Republicans as an affront to Northern self
respect. And yet (bey put forward our most
distinguished soldier and brandish bis sword
In tbe lace of the Boutn.a if the Southern
people had no pride or sensibilities which,
Northern Insolence is bound to eenalaer."
Comments ly the Tribune.
IThis eternal assumption that the late Rebels
are "the South," "the Southern people," eto.,
is at the bottom of all our remaining troubles.
It is at war with trnth, with peaoe, and with
the results of our great Btruggle. 80 long as
the Rebels insist on being considered, and are
considering themselves, the Southern people,"
the spirit of the Rebellion still animates its
late champions and their Northern sympa
thizers and allies.
There are some twelve millions of people
residing in the States lately dominated by the
Slaveholders' Rebellion. . Of these twelve mil
lions, less than three millions Incited and
voluntarily united in that Rebellion. Of the
residue, a part were bullied, coerced, terror
ized into giving g passive, constrained, fearful
support to tbe war most unrighteously waged t
for the overthrow of the Union. General Lee I
is a consplonouB example of this olass. lie!
deprecated secession saw no adequate axons 1
for It Vint "want with his State." thoush his i
State was wrenched from the Union by a Con
vention chosen to resist secession by an im
mense majority. So it was everywhere. In
no single State -were "the (real) 8oathern
people" allowed to inquire, confer, deliberate,
and then vote as they bsw fit 00 the question
of Union or Disunion.- The bullet, the bowie
knife, and the rope forestalled discussion and
precluded an unbiassed decision. Said Gene
ral Clingman, of North Carolina, in the United
States Senate, in December, 18(J0:
They (Republleane) want-to get-np a free
debate, as tbe Hnnator from New York ( Mr.
fseward) expressed It In one of hit speeches
Hut a Senator from Texastold me the other
day that a great many of these free debaters
were banging from tbe trees of that cjuutry
(Texas.)" -
The Rev. John II. Aughey, a Presbyterian
clergyman preaching in At a! a county, Miss.,
heard a secession speech made in that region
just after Mr. Lincoln's election, which ran
thus: -
"The baiter Is the only argu mant that should
be used against the BubmlsBlonlsts; and I pre
dict that it will soon, very soon, be la foroe,
"We have glorious news from Tallahatohle.
Seven Tory Submisslonlala were hanged there
in one 'day; and the so-called Union candi
dates, having the wholesome dread of hemp
before tbelr eyes, are not canvassing the
county," etc. eto. - -- -
Mr. Aughey thus narrates his own experi
ence as a voter on secession:
"Approaching the polls, I asked for a Union
ticket and was Informed tbat none had been
printed, and tbat it would be advisable to vote
tbe recesHlon ticket. I thought elherwise; and,
going to a desk, maKe out a Union tlcxet and
voted It, amid the frowns and suppressed mur
murs ol tbe lodges and bystanders; and, as the
result proved, I bad tbe honor of depositing the
only vote In favor of tbe Union which was
polled in tbat preoinot. I;knew of many who
were in favor of tbe Unlou, but wba were in
timidated by IhrealB, and by the odium attend
ing it, from voting at all."
Such were the means as ten thousand
living witnesses can testify whereby seces
sion was carried at the South in delianoe of
the judgment and the wishes of a large ma
jority of her real "people." "Abolitionist!"
"Submissionist 1". "Tory 1" were howled at
every one who dared avow his Unionism; the
violent, the headstrong, the bloody-minded,
were intent on war; and they had their way.
Having forced the reluotant Unionists to play
their game, and having lost the stake, they
now propose to dutch it, and the World is
helping them to the beat of its ability.
Every manifesto of Wade Hampton, Howell
Cobb, George S. Houston, and their confede
rates, betrays their perfect consciousness that
a majority of "the Southern people" are
against them. Majorities do not threaten
voters with expulsion from their homes, with
denial of employment, and with starvation, if
they vote as they see fit. That is the resort of
an aristooratio, prosoriptive minority, who thus
only can hope for success. -
"The Southern people" are, by a large ma
jority, for Grant, Union, and peaoe. The Rebel
minority are for Seymour, subversion, and
civil war. , The loyal masses will see that the
latter do not triumph. , .,. ..
The Attractions of the South.
From the iV. T. Timet.
Ho man who has travelled through the
Southern States of this Union and especially
the great belt stretohing from the Potomao by
Richmond, Raleigh, Columbia, Macon, Mont
gomery, and Jackson, onward to the Missis
sippiwill be unwilling to admit that he has
passed over a region of oountry whose natural
attractions and charms could not be surpassed
in any part of the world. '
Whether the traveller be enamored of a
soft, genial, and equable climate of a region
tbat lies high and dry, and is exceedingly
healthy of fruit trees and forest trees, plants
and flowers, rich, varied, and perennial of a
soil that is fertile in the highest degree, and
productive of the greatest diversity of useful,
wholesome, and profitable articles of consump
tion and commerce he will admit that in no
respect could even his imagination rise higher
than the actual facts that have come under his
experience and observation. - . s.
Yet the whole of this supremely attractive
region of country is merely settled by a
thinly-scattered population of whites and
blacks.
Until the present time it oould not be other
wise. '
It has been in the possession and under the
control of grand landholders, owning great herds
of slavei, supplemented by their depenianta,
and by those who ministered to their necessi
ties, and by those who were the agents for
transacting their business with the woild. The
men who might desire to settle as freeholders
of the soil were repelled the classes 1 who
might seek to build up manufacturing and
industrial activities found it impossible under
the existing tenure of land and labor the
free-handed, independent emigrants who were
ready to move southward, as they have moved
westward, by the million, learned that they
were praotically debarred from entering the
most inviting region of the globe by obstruc
tions of law, custom, society, industry, and
opinion, that neither perseverauoe nor energy
eonld surmount. -,
This state of thing" la all changed now or,
at all events, is all open to be changed by the
powers that have heretofore been compelled to
reooll before it. -.. - . !
Those who have heretofore been tbe great
landholders of the South have been reduced
in such a way that they can neither hold or
cultivate the soil, nor make it in any way
available or profitable; and they are every
where willing and anxious to dispose of it on
conditions that are neither hard nor trouble-)
some. Their slaves are gone; their agenoies
of productive industry have passed out of
their control; their inducements . to continue
their peouliar mode of life, ot other times,
have gone with the "peouliar institution" on
which they were based. They have found
that, with the downfall of the "patriarchal"
social order which they formerly possessed,
all possibility of maintaining patriarchal or
aristooratio pretensions of any kind have dis
appeared. And as old things have passed
away without their oonsent, they are preparing
to accept as best they may the new things
that are destined to replaoe the old. In brief,
and in plain English, the vast unoooupied
surfaoes of the Southern States are open for
settlement. Land, by freehold, can be obtained
in abundance, and there is no obstacle, in law
or publio economy, to hinder its possessor in
tbe enjoyment of the attractions that nature
has lavished upon the "Sonny South."
So far as people may find, or fanoy, any dis
advantage in local custom, soolal sentiment,
or publio opinion, these will not ooant much,
or stand long, before the volumes of immigra
tion that must soon sweep over these inviting
regions. ,
Since the occurrence of the radioal changes
In the Sonth that were brought about by the
war since the disappearance of slavery,
slave-labor, slavery oustoms, and slavery
necessities and conditions since the arrival
of tbe time whioh famished . opportunity for
emigration, settlement, and free labor, there
has neen no snoh emigration to the Southern
States as was looked for three years ago. It
was thought that great numbers of our
soldiers would settle there that orowds of
Northerners would go down "prospscttng"
and building up towns, and that hordes of
foreign immigrants would push forward and
Uke teossesslori ot the new world that was
open to them. It was thought that, the cul
ture of ootton aud the other profitable South
era staples, as well as corn and wheat and the
other cereals, not to speak of ,the Introdaotlon
of manufacturing industries, ' would at onoe
attract myriads of people, who, seeing their
chances, would be In haste to etnbraoe them.
But these ideas have not' been, realized. In
truth, the universal prostration that was visible
in the South at the close of the war, and the
impression since then that life, property, and
society would be unsafe until the politioal rela
tions of the Rebel States were properly esta
blished, have been sufficient to deter .settlers
from going forward in any perceptible nam.
bers. . It must be .remembered, also, tbat it
takes time to turn a enrrent of Immigration in
any given direction.- The volume 'that Is now
moving westward ia, in great measuM, ' the
result of lesser movements during the previous
twenty years. . And, though the attractions in
the South were ten times what they are, it
would take some time to direot thitherward a
movement of any important magnitude. '
Into all the grand region of country, how
ever, of whioh we spoke at the ' opening of
this article, prospeoters and settlers have ad
ventured themselves, and have begun to send
abroad aoconnts of the outlook of affairs.
We give place elsewhere to an aooonnt of
life and industry in the Booth, written by a
Northern gentleman who has lately beoome a
landholder and resident in South Carolina.
Nothing certainly could ' be more attractive
than the description he has given of the dis
trict of oountry in whioh he has located him
self. We know very well that no more in
viting region could be chosen than the one of
which he writes. In no respect could the
middle parts of the Palmetto State be sur
passed. And yet they can be equalled in
almost any part of the high belt that lies mid
way between the mountains and the sea.
The writer of the letter finds that all the
social and politioal conditions are as favorable
as could be expected, and muoh more favor
able than is generally represented. As for the
soil and its fertility, as for the variety and
value of its produots, as for the opportunity
that are furnished, we must refer to the in
teresting details given in the letter itself. '
We believe that if the Southern States are
secured to peaoe, order, and ' freedom by the
election of General Grant, we shall next year,
and in years following, see a vastly increased
emigration of aotive, industrious, and intelli
gent white men to the South. And we believe
that the Sonth will then rise to a condition of
prosperity, wealth, and power that it could
never have known under its old institutions.
The Congressional Farce. r.
From the iV. Y. World. : '.
The business traD sio ted by a fragmentary
gathering of members of the Rump Congress
is of no more legal aooount than if transacted
by a Woman's Rights Convention or a Union
League Club. By the terms of the resolution
making contingent provision for a meeting,
there was to be no session unless a quorum of
both Houses should be present. ' There was a
bare quorum of the Senate and no quorum of
the House. .And yet this trunoated Rump had
the assurance to oonsider itself a Congress,
and adopt a resolution whioh only a quorum
of both Houses was competent to pass. - This
resolntion originated in the House and was
pasEed by that body when no quorum was
. resent.' It was sent up to' the Senate and
passed. Senator Backalew offered a resolution
requesting the House to inform the Senate
whether there was a quorum at its passage; but
his resolution was rejected on the ground that
it would be a disoourtesy to the House for the
Senate to doubt the presenoe of a quorum.- In.
the face ol the notorious faot this objection
was preposterous. The Ilouse had perpetra
ted a ( gross breaoh of courtesy against the
Senate, and, what is more, a gross breaoh of
the Constitution, in sending up a resolution
passed when there was no quorum. It was
the duty of the Senate to vindicate its dignity
against this flagrant affront. But it pocketed
the insult and became the confederate and ac
complice of a fragment of the House in a plain
breaoh of the Constitution. No Republican
Senator had brass enough to pretend that the
House resolution had any validity if a quo
rum was not present at its passage; but the'
Senate connived at a violation of the Constitu
tion to save its character for oourtesy ! There
were repeated calls of the House, bat upon no
call could they muster a quorum.
. By the Constitution, the only business that
can be transacted by, either House in the
absence of a quorum is to adjourn from day
to day and compel the attendance of absent
members. , A bill or resolution passed with
out a quorum is as nugatory as if it were
passed by a mob in the street. The resolu
tion to adjourn on the 16th of October, and
then again to the 10th of November, is utterly
void. There can be no legal session of Con
gress under such a resolution. The President
can, if he chooses, call an extra session; but a
meeting of members, except on the first . Mon
day in December, without his call, and with-
out previous legal authorization by Congress
itself, Is no Congress. No act passed at such
a meeting would be law.' No citizen will obey,
and the courts will deolare void, - any acu
which may be' passed at the Sessions ooatem
plated by the resolution of Monday. . . ,
But although the viper cannot sting, we will
inquire into the meaning of its hisses. The
dates of the adjourned sessions are very signi
ficant. One is just after the October elections;
the other just after the Presidential election.
It is dear from these dates, and from the des
perate recklessness of the Republican party,
that if they cannot retain control of the Gov
ernment by ' the elections, they mean to at
tempt it by revolution. If the Ootober elec
tions go against them, they intend to hold an
extra session in Ootober; if they lose the Pre
sidential election, they will have a session in
November. They hold no session now be
cause they are not alarmed by losses in Maine.
They prefer to retain power by the authority
of the people; but they are resolved to retain
it anyhow. Hence they appoint sessions of
Congress to thwart the will cf the people if
the elections go against them. Was there
ever such an insulting menace offered to a
free people as to provide for a session of Con
gress just after each eleotion, with a view to
aDnnl the popular verdict, if unfavorable f
The illegal aotion of the Rump on Monday
is a confession that they feel no oonfidenoe in
the result of either the Ootober or November
verdiot. It attests the hollowness of their
Jubilation over the result in Maine. They
mow. as everybody knows, that the Demo
crats had no expectation of carrying Maine.
They know, as . everybody knows, that the
greenback issue hart as in Maine, and that it
will be a chief element of our strength in the
States that hold eleotlens in Ootober. New
England and tbe West take diametrioally
opposite views of tbat question. The Demo
cratic State Convention in Massachusetts re
pudiated that plank of the Demooratlo plat
form, while in Ohio and Indiana it is reoelved
withsuoh favor that the Republican leaders
in those States dare not oppose it, , To such
straits are they driven that their two ablest
men Senator Sherman, of Ohio,nd Senator
Morton, of Indiana have come out squarely
In favor of Mr. Pendleton's dootrine, in the
fain hope of saving, their States.
