T17E DAILY EVENING TELEGHAPIl PIIILADELPIIIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1870. nriniT or inn muss. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. CENTRALIZATION. front the N. F. World. Many of our Republican contemporaries are disposed to make it an issue of fact, whether their party is justly chargeablo with a tendency to consolidate all political powers into the hands of the General Government. Much has recently been suid on this subject, which evinces the sensitiveness of our oppo nents to the charge itself, but there has been very little said that amounts to a refutation. The following observation of the Evening J'ofit appears to comprehend a sort of admis sion as to the past, and a kind of promise of amendment as to the future: Whatever tendencies to centralization are found in the Republican party, as every Intelligent puiiltc man knows, have been occasioned by the require ments and eiperlencts of the civil war, and even then accepted reluctantly, Instead of ucmir seized ambitiously. Since the war ended Congressional lepislat'on has steadily been restoring to Hie States the powers which had been for a time held In trust bv the General Government in the interest of the people ; and this work would have been completed much sooner if the population of the States formerly in rebellion had oordially eudcavored to establish and maintain order among themselves. It thus seems to be admitted that during the war there were strong tendencies to cen tralization in the Republican party; but this is aocompanied by the assertion that these tendencies, or the measures to which they led, were accepted reluctantly, and not seized ambitiously. If this were true, it would aflord a very lame and impotent excuse for what has been done since the war was closed. But it is true that all those tendencies to cen tralization which hare been manifested by the Republican party under the require ments and experiences of tho war were invol untary and without ambitious motives 1 Im mediately on the cessation of hostilities, the people of the Southern States everywhere exhihited a desire to resume their proper relations to the Union, and to accept the result of a defeat of their efforts to establish a separate confeder acy as conclusive on the question of Stale secession. All that they asked was that tho Federal Government should act consistently with the Northern ideas of the character of the Union. They did not insist that slavery should be retained, for they knew that in some foiin and by some action it must be removed. They were very well aware that two courses were before Congress one of them being in accordance with that view of the Constitution which the North had gene rally maintained, end the other being en tirely outside of any view of the Constitu tion which had ever been maintained by anybody excepting a few of the extreme radi cal leaders, who insisted that the Southern States could be rightfully treated as con quered enemies, just as if they had been foreigners entitled to no present standing aa citizens of the United States. This last was the course adopted; and it was not, and could not be, adopted without ambitious motives. It afforded the means of what was called "reconstruction;" and that reconstruction, with all the oppression and disfranchisement which attended it, and all the assumption of powers which the Post delicately calls "holding of powers in trust by the General Government in the interest of the people," was a matter of calculation and design, as so much machinery for the exten sion and consolidation of the political power ot a party, inere was just as much of a "trust" vested in the hands of Congress, in respect of the powers of local government which it seized and exercised, as there is wuen any superior power, wnetner it be a public force or a private robber, seizes and appropriates what does not belong to it. When and where did the people of the South ern States surrender into the bands of the General Government those political powers which every rational theory of our Constitu tion acknowledges to belong only to the States themselves? If, at the immediate mo ment of the downfall of the Confederate government, there was an apparent necessity for the preservation of social order by the aid of the military power of the United States, that necessity was but for the mo ment, and it needed only to be acted on within very narrow limits; for there existed all the while the political capacities and sove reign characters of the States themselves, and nothing was wanted but to recognize their magistracy of all kinds as the rightful trustees of the powers of local government, and to afford them such temporary aid in the preservation of public order as the circum stances of the moment required in the several localities. But this did not suit the designs of the radical leaders. They would recognize nobody as being rightfully the trustee of any political power, however local that power might be. They chose, vol untarily chose, to suppress all State authority in those communities, treating its actual officers as provisional only, and making pre paration to sweep away the whole existing machinery of State government, in order to make room for governments that were to be creatures of Congress and of its own making. The ostensible excuse was that the whole Southern magistracy were tainted with re bellion. If this was true, how did their rebellion vest in Congress the political powers of the people of those States, to be held "in trust" for a time, and then to be "restored ' in such quantity and form and with Mich conditions as the trustee might choose t It is a strange notion of a trust, public or private, even it it arises ont of a necessary exercise for the time being of powers and rights that belong to another, to hold tliat tne trustee may not only ex ercise those powers and rights as they were when they devolved upon him, but that he may appropriate to himself more or less of their substance, change their essential character, and give them back upon condi tions originating in his own will and tending to his own profit, was it done "reluctantly. or was it done "ambitiously ?" The very fact that the reconstruction maasures were so shaped as to exclude whole claaaes of white men iroiu au participation in me worii oi making the new constitutions for those States, and to include in that exercise of political power the whole body of adult male negroes, itniims the character of the entire Drooeedinz. Such a course of action was not involuntary, nor was it accepted reluctantly. It was embraced with eagerness from two political motives, one of which was collateral to the other. It was believed to be the sure means of securing the political control of those States to the Republican party; and when it was found that Andrew Johnson, as President, resisted it as constitutionally wrong.from fear that his resistance would strengthen the Democratio party, and from a desire to crush him on that account, and for bis alleged treaohery to the Republican cause, the original scheme was persisted in, and was pushed even further than its primitive design. We have hearl men wno would ne accounted moderate end conservative Republicans, and who re as eminent in their party as anybody, justify the reconstruction measures on purely party grounds; but without any such private and individual testimony, the whole public history of the period immediately following the clone of the war, and the entire oonduct of the Radicals in Congress and out of it, establish it as a fact that the extraordinary and exceptional powers which have been as sumed and exercised were not "accepted re luctantly," but were "seized ambitiously." But let ns look into this matter a little fur ther. We do not doubt that there have been those in the Republican party who, like our neighbor, have "deprecated the exercise of powers by the Federal authorities which be long legitimately to the local governments." We know many well-meaning men, who sup ported the Lincoln and still support the Grant administration, who have hoped to se9 a natural shrinkage within the true limits of the Constitution. They admit that its nor mal powers have been greatly stretched by doubtful interpretations, and that they have even been greatly overstepped under a dan gerous plea of necessity. They have hoped for a restoration of sound constitu tional doctrine. But the difficulty in those individual cases is, that when a political party, by extreme latitudinarian constructions of limited powers or by bold and unscrupu lous assumptions, have deranged such a poli tical system as our, they are not the right men to effect a return to sound doctrine. The love of personal power is a very strong passion; the love of power that animates such a party as the Republicans is more vigorous than its spirit of patriotism and self-denial; and when a body of publio men have long been accustomed to lead a party by the teach ings of ft strained and lax interpretation of a written constitution of government, it is the most difficult thing in this world to fall back upon principles and discriminations which contradict their former professions and seem to take away the foundation of thoir past legislation. When to these embarrassments arising out of personal and party consistency there is added the tremendous corruption of a wasteful expenditure of public nioney, the laxity of public morals that springs up when an enormous revenue is collected and dis bursed by a party controlling all the revenues into and out.of a vast publio exchequer, it is not easy to overstate the tendencies to cen tralization from which such a party may find it impossible to extricate itself, as it is im possible for its leaders to assist it in the direction of a Bound reform. Let any one take the statute-books of the . United States for the par.t five or six years, and, without looki: . .; all at the powers which have been t xcici ,od over the South ern States in the matter of reconstruction, let him note how the habit has grown up of legislating in Congress on subjects over which Congress has no rightful jurisdiction; or, if Congress can by ingenious interpreta tion be said to have a concurrent power over the particular matter, let him observe how entirely inexpedient and improper it is not to leave such powers to be exercised by the States. The amount of this kind of legisla tion that has been accumulated during the past six years is very great, and its existence is one of the most striking proofs of the cen tralization that has been effected in so brief a period, and that has no excuse in "the re quirements and experiences of the civil war," although it is the natural fruit of doctrines and practices springing up in a time of tar moil and danger, and pushed beyond all tho exigencies of even such a time. It is as an antagonist to this centralization that the Democratic party presents itself, with its better record of constitutional doctrine, its traditional care in discriminating between the Federal and the State powers, its habitual economy in the use of publio money, and its sound principles of public revenue, finance, and currency. If, in the issues which it makes on these subjects, the people of this Union cannot perceive where their political power ought to be lodged, the tendency to centralization and corruption will not, be arrested. But if that tendency is seen and acknowledged, we may look for a restoration of Government to the paths of true con stitutional interpretation and a pure exercise of constitutional powers. TIIE DEFENSE OF PARIS. From the S. F. Sun. To the French, the defense of Paris serves a double purpose. It not only retards the operations of their enemy, but it affords them an incomparable school for the training of the new army which they so greatly need According to the proclamation of SI. Gam betta, the French Secretary of the Interior, issued at A ours recently, tnere are now within the walls of Paris four hundred thou sand National Guards, one hundred thousand Mobiles, and sixty thousand regulars in all, five hundred and sixty thousand men now Tinder arms. The character of 31. Gambetta is such that his statement may be received without that doubt which always attached to assertions made by the members of the Imperial Gov ernment. It is doubtless true that there are now over half a million of armed men behind the walls of Paris. As yet, with the excep tion of the sixty thousand regulars, these are all undisciplined soldiers; but every day of the siege gives them an amount of warlike training which could not be gained in a month passed in barracks and in drill in time of peaoe. There is no school of war like war itself; and the army of Paris has a great ad vantage in being educated ia this school without that danger of panio and of disaster which would belong to such an nndisoiplined body if arrayed for battle without the cover of fortifications. Under such circumstances this army should be able to begin a vigorous offensive cam paign against the Germans by the middle of December. That will give them two months and a half of constant drilling, with such occasional fighting as General Trochu judges will be most advantageous. So far the General has managed them with remarkable skill. Every day has bad its contest, and now one and now another corps or division has been sent out to learn the smell of pow der and the hiss or imuets. The results amply justify the wisdom of Trochu in assembling so vast a body of men in Paris before the siege. There is no other spot in France in which be could fit them so speedilv or efficiently tor tne worK ot soldiers Thus the Prussiacs themselves are made use ful as the drill masters or tne new army which had to be created before r ranee could again be in a condition to defend herself. M. Gambetta also declares that there is no danger if starvation. If this be so, then there is also no danger of sedition, which he says is out of the question. In a city of two millions of souls, more than one-quarter of whom are constantly under arms for the common defense. Bedition can only arise in consequence of famine or serious military reverses. Both of these being out of the onestion. there is nothing to interfere with the 6teads advance of the new army in mili trj iUH.1; tor clots tiiere seem to be a-ythins within the city to aid 1 the efforts of the be siegers withoutr The Prussians may indeed make breaches In the walls with their im proved artillery; but with ' such an army of defenders to resist an assault, a breach is of comparatively little uso to the assailants. M. Gambetta pronounces the city impregnable. This seems like an exaggeration, but it is relatively true. If Paris cannot be taken in ninety days, it is impregnable indeed, for by that time the southern and central depart ments of France will also have raised armies so numerous and formidable that no foreign invader can Btnnd before them. The problem of the deliverance of France consists then in1 the problem - of the siege of 1'aiis. Every day that the siege is protracted diminishes the resources of the Germans both in men and material, while it forms and trains the forces upon which the redemption of France must depend. It also tends to consolidate the republican government, by showing that it is able to accomplish what the empire could not even undertake. If the Germans are wise, they will hasten to make peace on such terms ns the French people can submit to. To prolong the war is to imperil all the glory that Germany has already won. TIIE MURDER OF A SCUOOL TEACHER. From the X. Y. Time. The epidemic of youthful crime continues. On Wednesday a young lady, the teacher of a district school at Canton, Mass., was mur dered by her pupils. Four lads, between the age of nine and thirteen, lay in wait for her while she wns on her way home to dinner, and deliberately stoned her to death. "Ooe of the missiles, we are told, "the size of a common inkstand, hit the teacher on the neck, just below the ear, and another Btone struck her on the back, which caused her to 6'tngger." Upon this, her dastardly young assailants proclaimed her to be drunk. The unfortunate girl managed to dras her self to her home, where she told what had happened. "Those awful boys," she t-aid, with a convulsive shudder, "have been stoning me. The next day she died. Her physicians say that aa old disease was brought to a climax by the inhuman assault thus made upon her, and that it was the cause of her death. In law this fact may mitigate the responsibility of Miss Barstow's murder ers, but it cannot do so in a moral point of view. When we come to look into the pro vocation for this crime, there seems less and less excuse for the young miscreants. There was surely never a case of more bitter ven geance for a light offense. The school, it neems, had been hard to manage, but Miss Barstow's predecessor happily was a "robust woman, and so carried tnings on "witn a measure of success. " This means, wo sup pose, tnat tne gentle youtns, ner pupils, were afraid of her. They, perhops, apprehended that if they threw stonei at her they might get the worst of it. At any rate, the difference between the two women was quickly seen and taken advantage of. On Wednesday, at the noon recess, Miss Bar.stbar rung in the scholars as usual. Some of them refused to return. The teacher then shut out the delinquents. This seems a mild form of punishment, since at worst it need only cut off the afternoon s tuition, a depri vation of which youths of the manifest stamp of Miss Barstow's pupils do not in general complain. Determined, however, on mis chief at any cost, the excluded lads began to throw stones through the windows. This wrought destruction, but no harm to life or limb, bo tnat tnev raged about nnsatisned. An opportunity to repair the omission soon presented itself. Miss Barstow started for home, and thus put herself in the power of her enemies, and the merciless way in which they dealt with kher has already been re corded. It is dangerous and unfair to generalize against whole bodies of individuals because of the misbehavior of part of their number, and the rule applies to boys as well as to men. But the public do not need to be told that the list of crimes committed by boys has of late alarmingly Increased. To assert that there is something radically wrong in the training of youths, or of large classes of them, in different parts of the country, might be to go too far. i et it is not easy to account on any other hypothesis for a frightful amount of wrong-domg, greater, we believe, than has ever been recorded of our younger popula tion. It threatens to become one of the gravest social difficulties of the future. When several murders are committed by lads under fourteen within a week, it is not extravagant to call the fact alarming, or unreasonable to urge Ftpecial investigation, and, if possible, special remedies. TIIE MISSOURI OUTLOOK. From the at. Louie Democrat. Jj' 'The news is too good, we said, a few days ago. And now tue JC?,puOiic(n declar ing for Brown, and Mr. Drake taking the stump against him, give ns additional assur ances of success. Fully half of the old radical party, if our reports are correct, will vote for Gratz Brown. Of the eighty-nve thousand votes cast for Grant, fully forty-five thousand, and proba bly more, stand with the liberal platform and ticket. There are counties in the State in which we have no considerable strength, but there are others, more populous and more numerous, in which the Hateites cannot mus ter a corporals guard for McClurg. The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth districts, casting over fifty thousand radical votes in 18G.S, are now so di vided that our friends in each claim a majority. But the First, . Second, Third, and Ninth districts, casting over thirty thousand radical votes in 1808, are so nearly united that in them the McClurg ticket might almost as well not be run at all. The only danger, as to the radi cal vote, is that our friends, over confident of success in some localities, and not aware of their real strength in others, may neglect organization and that careful, detailed work necessary to inaKe tneir tall strength felt. If in every county in the State, no matter how feeble they may be in some, no matter how overwhelming their numbers in others, our friends will perfect organization, hold meetings, agree upon tickets, and take measures to call out all the radical voters who are really with them, they may rest assured that over 50,000 radical votes will be cast for Gratz Brown. The danger is that in counties where we are weak, our friends will not take the steps necessary to call out and unite the strength that they have, and thus, losing a handf nl of votes in each of these oounties, we shall lose many in the ag gregate: and on the other hand, that in coun ties where we are overwhelmingly t?ong, our friends will be too sure of success, neglect registration, effort and active work, and so lose another considerable body of votes. If these things are suffered to occur, the defeat of Brown is possible, and not otherwise. Thus far we have said nothing of the colored vote in this estimate. It has been railed twenty thousand, and counted bodily for MoClurg by many. It will not go bodily for him, end it will not be anything like twenty thousand. The registration Is already far enough advanced to make it certain that a large proportion of the colored people will not register at all. Nobody hinders them at all. But in many counties they are indiffe rent or uninformed. In Znianv. again, the votes of the colored men will be cast very larpely or almost unitedly for Gratz Brown. We have now two new elements in the con testMr. Drake and the Republican. Mr. Drake never fails to drive away men from any cause for which he fights. As a repellant, he is a success. For years he has been at work trving to drive out of his party the Germans and the Democrat, and his success would be magnificent were it not for one fact in driving them out, he has driven out too much, a large body of the most intelligent men and probably a majority of the party. A similar element in the Democratic party, intelligent, ready to drop the dead past, and earnest in regard to the living present, joins iu the sup port of the same ticket, ns the declaration of the hcjmbhcan indicates. Success, there fore, is certain, if our friends do their duty in every county to call out a full vote. SPECIAL NOTICES. UKrORT OF THE CONDITION OP THE CENTRAL NATIONAL BANK.
