"States to whu-h the Constitution tnru
tees a republican form of government, " ho
nays, "have been reduced to military depen
dencies, iu each of which the psoplo have baeu
made subject to the arbitrary will of the com
manding general." And yet this Belf-sime
critic i the reconstruction measured ym hioi
Belf a military governor, and one of the oar
lieBt agents of the Federal Government in
Inauguraticg the very eystein which he con
demns 1
"There teems ro good reason," he say?,
"why the reconstruction measures should
longer remain on the statute-book." And
yet this perpetual eulogist of popular ma
jorities knnws very well (and tremble3 iu
knowing) that all the States of the Union,
except half-a-dozen, voted overwhelmingly to
reaffirm, to maintain, and to enforce these
identical reconstruction measures.
"The attempt," he says, "to place tho
white population under the domination of
persons of color iu tho South lias impaired,
if not destroyed, the kindly relations that had
previously existed between them." And yet
the author of these words once stool on the
steps of the State House at Nashville, and,
with bauds uplifted towards heaven, swore
an oath to these Eame "persons of color"
that he would be their Moses 1
"It would be just and eijnltable," ha says,
"that the (i per cent, iuUrest now paid by the
Government sbcnld bo oppb'ed to 'ha redac
tion of the principal" And yet the man who
has the ellroutery to e?.y this knows well
enough that to pay tho interest of a dobt, and
then to count the paid interest as so much re
daction of the principal, is to cheat the credi
tor out of the principal altogether, and is
nothing less than shamuless robbery. A man
who would claim that in paying the interest
he was paying the principal might just as
well deny that he owed either principal or
interest at all.
Mr. Johnson will go into history as a man
whose public career has exhibited him in the
three-fold character of drunkard, Rebel, and
repudiator.
One would have supposed that the President,
in closing his official term, in making his fare
well address to the American people, in be
queathing hi3 last will aud testament to pos
terity, would have endeavored to win back
come of those golden opinions with which
This countrymen unwittingly honored hiui at
the beginning of the war. But ever since he
first disclosed his real self to the world's eye,
it has been apparent that his final epitaph
would be Macaulay'a remark of Sir Antony
Astley Cooper "livery part of bis life re
jected infamy on every other."
When, in a few weeks, his term shall end,
and he shall go back to lead in person the Ivu
Klux Elans ia Tennessee, he will be found by
his old neighbors to be a more rusted, corroded,
and mildewed thing than the anoient tin sign
in Greenville which still says "A. Johnson,
Tailor." The sight of the rusty sign will,
perhaps, make him Wish that he had never
laid aside his needle and thread; aud he will
then, for the first time in three years, be of
the same opinion with his fellow-ooantryman.
Army Reunions und llieir rurnoscs.
From the N. Y. limet.
The former meetings of the Western army
organizations at Cincinnati and St. Louis were
simply social reunions, having no higher or
more practical purpose than the celebration
of some battle anniversary. But at the meet
ing at Chicago on the anniversary of the bat
tle of Nashville, an attempt was made to re
solve at least of the associations that of the
Army of the Ohio into a sort of speoial his
torioal sooiety for the collection of material
concerning it as it operated in the field; while
another made arrangements or at least passed
resolutions commending the preparation of a
history of its operations.
These attempts to give utility to these
organizations are very commendable; the
history of each army, each oorps, each di
vision, each brigade, each regiment, and
each company, written by its own commander,
with the addition of such personal raoollea
tiocs and reminiscences as would naturally
creep into such acceunts, would be invalu
able to posterity if gathered in a library, even
ia manuscript form. But the plan of separate
organizations, separate libraries, and separate
histories for each army has a serious objec
tion which should not be hastily overlooked.
It is calculated to produce a jealousy between
the societies and lead, in an insidious way
not to be prevented, to criminations and re
flections on other organiz ations and individuals.
Much jealousies and backbiting were the
most lamentable confequenoes of the early
organization of the army into sectional and
State divisions as, for instance, all the
Eastern troops going to the Pototuae, all the
Middle State troops to the Army of tho Ohio,
and the extreme Western men to the Army
of the Tennessee, while in soinu cases, brigades
and even divisions were wholly organized
with troops from a single State. The objec
tion abla results which rendered it neoessary
to change this army organization, in part, will
follow the plan of the society organization as
contemplated. The practical utility of these
organizations is highly desirable, but there
ought to be one general organization including
each army, ani such we yet hope to see.
American Sentiment In Spun.
From the N. Y. ttei ald.
A very remarkable feature in the insurrec
tions in Spain is the prevalence of good feel
ing towards the United tMates. It appears that
In the midst f the tumult in Cadiz cries rang
oat in favor of America, showing the tendency
of the public mind among the masses towards
institutions similar to ours. Then we learn
that the United States Consul in Cadiz did
much to stop the bloodshed by mounting the
Larrioade, wearing Lis consular uniform, and
displaying the American flag between the In
surgents and the Government troops. The
fleet, we are told, was a stay of hostilities,
thus making the stars and stripes act as a flag
f trnoe. This is not the only instance in
which the influence of the United States is
emphatically stamped upon the public senti
ment of Kurope. Mr. Motley, in his address
lo tie Jllstoriral Society, dwells upon this fact
very pointedly at) having come within his Kit
ropean t xtperieiice.
Jt is not surprising that the Spanish popu
lace should echo the cry of "Free Amerlo,"
because it was to our example in breaklog the
links which bound this country to Kuglau 1
that the freedom of the Spanish-American
States is due. Following us, they also severed
their connection with the mother country, au l
thns it is natural that every sentiment of free
dom in the Spanish race should be allied with
America.
Mr. Pctci-dy Johnson's Explanation.
Front the A Y. Bcruld.
Reverdy Johnson, according to the cablo,
"ascribes the attacks upon him in the Ameri
can newspapers and Ljewhere to a secret dis
like for the preservation of peaceful relations
between the two coun'ries." There are two
or three points here worthy passing notice.
Mr. Johnson is quite ri'iHn Baying that there
U a diplike here to tire "preservation of peace
ful relations between the two oountiie;;"
quite right iu the implication that we would a
little rather fight England than not.; and we
are glad that he has subl this, fur this is just
what we wnrit Kn.hud to know. 'ow let
him go on aud tell thu reason, aud ehow his
Kngluli hosts that this feeling grows fro'n n
Lational conviction that Jluglau i has treated
us uliabbily in the Alabama busings. Then
bo will have fulfilled the object ot his mission.
But if tho above is tiu Mr. John?ou, of all
men, thould have beeu the last to say so; for
it is an aikunwlwdpnit iU that ha has not pro
perly represented u.-i at nil in his amiable

Koitou en Finance.
-front the ti. Y. Tribune.
Mr. Senator Morton's IMeet oppearant e bef v
the public was in several characters. The
mopt- remarkable of tliem was that of Mr.
Mark Tapley. The jollity with which this
new financial Daniel treated certain conditions
of our situation that to many people have
seemed serious enough was marvellous. The
country had no trouble about an expanded or
redundant currency. It had no trouble about
the How of gold to Europe, which unlearned
people supposed at least an inconvenience iu
the way oi a return to specie payment!). It
had no trouble about an enormous bonded
debt, depreciated shockingly below its real
value, and yet drawing high gold interest.
None of these tbirgs gave Mr. Morton auy
concern. Ho waB uneasy solely on the
score of the greenbacks, liven those he did
not want redeemed. He was only anxious
that, having already prom'sed to pay them
when we were able, we should now repeat the
promise. This done, he would, with serene
6el -satisfaction, proceed to withdraw gold by
tho hundred millions from the demands of the
world's commerce, aud lock it np in the Trea
sury vaults, there to rust in idleness, while
we continued to tax the people heavily for
money to pay the interest on our bond3. Tax
ing for the interest, wlr.lj aimlessly hoarding
the means wherewith we might be paying the
principal that is the scheme of which Mr.
Morton ia enamored the Dnlcinea del To.boso
for whose matchlens sake this modern Don
Quixote rides a tilt ."gainst all comers. If his
paper helmet be shattered in the first encoun
ter, we protest that, like the neighbors of the
Knight of La Maneha, we still look npon hiui
more in pity than in anger.
We learn from the fiuanoial revelations with
which Mr. Morton has favored the Senate,that
our bonded debt has nothing to do with the
depreciation of the currency. We owe lejs
than four hundred millions of greenbacks and
over two thousand millions o( bonds. The fact
of owing two thousand millions on which we
pay heavy interest does not affect onr credit at
all; but the fact of owing three hundred odd
millions on which we pay and have contracted
to pay no interest, depreciates it dreadfully !
Here is richness ! Bonds depreciated to one
fourth their par value, and still drawing six
per cent, gold interest, would not, we further
learn, affect onr credit we could still keep
our currency at par, not by paying either it or
the bonds, but by locking up gold in the
Treasury. To keep this gold idle would im
prove people's faith in our paying our debts;
to pay our debts with it would destroy
people's faith in us, because it would be
"proclaiming to the world that we do not
intend to return to specie payments !" The
greenbacks are depreciated solely because
"they are overdue and dishonored;" and yet
we learn, a little further on, when the necessi
ties of the argument change, that our "credit
was never before bo good a3 it is now." One
moment the people have lost faith in our in
tention to pay, and so refase to take our
notes except at a heavy disoount; the next
moment they never before had so much faith
in our intention to pay, and so improvement
of the national credit is in no wise necessary
as a preparation for resumption 1 The fact
that we owe two thousand millions, on which
we are bound for heavy interest, has nothing
to do with the value of our due-bills; but the
fact that we owe three hundred millions in
due-bills has a great dal to do with the value
of our two thousand millions in interest
bearing bonds 1 It is idle to talk about re
suming until you have hoarded in the
Treasury money enough to redeem all the
greenbacks; but suspended banks used to
resume on one dollar in gold to two and a half
of outstanding circulation, and in his opinion
Government, after hoarding awhile, oou.ll
resume on even lies 1
If we have dwelt on these contradictions
and crudities it is not because we have been
unable to agree with many things which Mr.
Morton has said. But the trouble with his
speech is an old complaint that has lain
against the performance of many a previous
experimenter in the fields of finance. He has
said some new things and some true things,
but the new things are not true, and the true
things well, tLy have been as clearly set
forth often enough before.
Mr. Morion would resume specie payments
in 1871, by hoarding all the gold we get until
then. We would resume specie payments
years sooner, by appreciating the Government
credit. Mr. Morton would make gold scarce
and high, and would thus depreciate green
backs yet lower by way of getting ready to
resume. We would unlock gold, make Gov
ernment bonds high by showing onr ability
and willingness to pay them, bring greenback
up with them, and so get ready to resume by
making the currency as go id s gold. Mr.
Morton would assure the man who has a
United States due-bill in his pocket of the
Government's ability to pay it, by locking up
sorely-needed funds, to be used for that pur- -pose
three years hence. We would seek to
give such assurance by using the means at
hand to pay oil" now, aa last as we .are
able, the niont oppressive patt of our indebted
ness. Mr. Morton would secure the national
credit by continuing to pay burdensome inte
rest on an enormous debt, and giving a pledge
to select tbat which costs ns no interest as the
first to be liquidated. We would secure the
national credit, j net as we would secure indi
vidual credit, byjstopping the biggest leaks
first, and stopping them just as fast as we
have the means in onr power. Mr. Morton
thinks that paying off our debts after this
common sent-e fashion would depreciate onr
due-bills. We think it would give proof that
the were as good as gold, and would speedily
place ns in a position to pay gold for them to
all whoaf-ki'd it.' .
We hold that if the greenbacks had beeq
kept in accordance with the provisions of the
original Legal-tender act fundable . at the
holdei's pleasure in Five-twenties at par, re
sumption would now be an easy task. That
not having be,n dowo, the first step towards
resumption seems to ns to consist in appre
ciating our bouds.. .Bripg them to specie par.
Then their more evident desirability as an
investment gives us an eager, capacious mar
ket for them. That equips ns with gold to
meet any run on' the. Tieasnry, by giving ns
certain sale for n sco'urity which capitalist
prefer to gold. And that done, resumption is
achieved I

From "7J) if.'' romeron's N. Y. Vcmoerut.
Tennessee is the worst governed and most
ontrsgnd State of all those that formerly con
stituted the great and free Amerionu Confede
racy. A Knoxville correspondent of th)
Timt makes known some of the prominent
mid striking features of Brownlow rule in that
State, lie says that ''the great central fact
Ftarrs ns in the face that here in Tennessee
tO,t)00 men,' who own a large proportion of
the property of the State, and who are heavily
taxul, have no voice in tuir governiueut.
Theie are in this ci'y (Knoxville) one liun
dred men, who are worth probably a mi lb o a
dollars, who have no voice whatever in the
control of the State or municipal government.
t . Sitce the close of the war the
public debt .of the State has beon nearly
doubled. It is now near :io,00,0U, aid if
the Legislature does not change its Bpirit it
will be largely increased before the 1st of
January next. Taxes are burdensome, and
the revenues of the State are in many respects
misapplied, and these J-O.OUO men of pro
perty stand helplessly by and see the moun
tain of indebtedness rising higher and higher,
incumbering their property, aud threatening
the State with repudiation and bankruptcy."
Thi3 is a ead spectacle for ence free America.
It shows the spirit and ellecU of the curse
which has come upon our land in the rule of
.Tacobinirm. It is in unhappy Tennessee that
it has its fullest license aud its most perfect
exemplification. How can a people who in
herited the institutions and teachings of the
Revolution tolerate the domination of a party
which enacts such foul deeds f
But did not the love of liberty, of justice,
and of humanity move to the suppression of
the authors of onr publio calamities, it ia
clear that an enlightened self,-interest would
dictate it. No one can believe that prosperity
can be restored to the country while it should
be goveined as now. A whole sootion, for
merly filled with woatth, aud furnishing the
great body of our exports, contributing largely
to our revenues, and purchasing, in very great
measure, the surplus productions of other
sections, is now utterly impoverished, its in
dustry destroyed by the conversion of ita
laborers into political machines for the work
ing out of the policies of the Jacobin destruc
tives, and almost nniversal anarchy prevailing
in once well-regulated ani wisely-governed
communities.
Never in the history of nations has so bale
ful a change been wrought in so short a space
of time, as that from which this poor land is
suffering at the hands of the miscreants whose
petted tools and truest representatives are to
be found in such human monstrosities at But
ler and Brownlow.
An Irreversible guarantee.
From the N. T. World.
In his annual report the Commissioner of
Agriculture says:
"It is p.ratiflny; to observe the evidences of
vitality iu Houtbern agriculture, which Is pro
gressively and mcoestifolly marshalling toe
lorccHof recuperation, ami gradually dlHpeHlux
the despondency retaining from the losses of
civil wur, the ch.tngo in the labor nystem, tbe
disruption of families, uuil the Impoverishment
of eslatte."
To sum up the special adaptations of the
four great divisions of the United States, the
Bast makes, the ' West feeds, the South
clotheB, and the North carries. Mills,wheat,
cotton, ships, are the several synonyms;
but in all these synonyms there is but one
that means natural monopoly, and that is
cotton. There is nothing in nature to forbid
a tranafer of manufactures to the North,
We6t, or South; or a transfer of commerce
to the liast or South; or a transfer of food
growing to the North or South; but hero the
possibilities of transfer end. No change iu
the course of trade, no shifting in the bulk of
population, no development of fictile art, cau
ever make cotton grow in Vermont, New
York, or Iowa.
Nature vetoes that trausfer, and no two
thirds can override the ban. Cotton is the
South's guarantee of prosperity; and to Mr.
Sumner, who yearns for an "irreversible guar
antee," we present it here in the pretty little,
soft, fleecy boll that is "progressively aud
successfully marshalling the forces of recu
peration, and gradually dispelling the des
pondency resulting from the losses of civil
war, the change iu the labor system, the dis
ruption of families, and tho impoverishment
of estates."
