DREAMS OF TEACE.
From the X, Y. Tribune.
In the palmy and Augustan days of the
Spectator, a sickly and deformed bat preco
cious boy, who name was Alexander 1'ope,
Kent to Mr. Addison "The Messiah; a Saored
Eoloerie, composed of several passages of
Isaiah the Prophet," in which occur the fol
lowing lines:
"No more snail nation agatnRt nation rise,
No ardent warriors meet with hateful eyes;
Nor fields with gleaming steel be cover'd o'er,
The brazen trumpets kindle rage no more t
Vat useless lances Into sevthes shall bend,
And the broad faulchlon in a plough-share end!"
Ages have elapsed since the prophecy was
uttered of which these verses are a paraphrase;
and at the close of one of the most destruc
tive, albeit one of the shortest of wars, we find
the Pennsylvania Peace Society, on the 2d of
March, A. D. 1871, "respectfully recommend
ing the nimnltaneons disarmament of Eng
land and the United States,'" the Joint High
Commission at Washington being requested
to take the matter in hand, although it doos
nowhere appear that the said commission has
any authority to do anything of the kind.
The peace men of Philadelphia are likewise
enthusiastically of the opinion, should we,
with our elder brethren, adopt the plowshare
policy, that "France would also adopt it,
and Prussia, Russia, and other powers
would be led to the same reform." It is a
little dispiriting to road of this pacific pro
ject. Its consummation has been sought for
and sighed for by benevolent men, to whom
battle-fields were repulsive spectacles. Eco
nomists have shown the waste of war, and
satirists have exhibited its folly, while the
Church, responsible as it is for some of the
most prolonged, cruel, and desolating wars
which ever distraotod this "groaning globe,"
has stuck still by its theory of peace, and
been vociferous in its anticipations of a sure
millennium at last. Meanwhile, war changes
Somewhat its minor peculiarities, but does
not change, and never can, its fundamental
characteristics. Campaigns are shorter now,
but still the grim problem remains. So many
men are to be killed upon this side or that,
and, although there may be a material bene
fit in celerity of slaughter, it is not easy to
discover the moral superiority of our sharp,
quick campaigns over the longer ones of
olden times the times of the fire-lock oj
winter quarters, and of fighting battles by
the rule of three in fact, the art of modern
warfare, originating in the impatient and de
cisive spirit of Napoleon, seems to be rather
the most savage and destructive. Indeed, we
are by no means sure that the rapidity of the
decision is not to nations which might shrink
from the prolonged horrors of a ''Thirty
Years' War, ' a temptation to take up arms.
Be this as it may, the fact is apparent that
Prussia, Russia, Austria, France, and Eng
land, to say nothing of Italy and the United
States, are as far as possible from a general
disarmament. In four of these countries,
at least, armies always standing are the po
lice which ward off revolutions, and Eng
land must be put into the same category, if
Bhe is to retain her supremacy in Ireland.
Singularly enough, armies, which preserve
monarchies, have been proved necessary, in
our own case, for the safety and perpetuity
of republics. All this points to the need of
military organization of some kind, at least
for the present, if the stability of govern
ment and the security of society against its
lower constituents as with ourselves, or
against the republican tendenoy as in despot
isms, are to be maintained. But the very
possession of an army in the interests of in
ternal peace is a temptation to undertake
external aggrandizement and to make a
nation arrogant and unreasonable in its diplo
matic relations.
The question, therefore, is by no means so
simple as our well-intentioned Philadelphia
friends seem to suppose. The difficulty is not
in the armies themselves, but in the human
passions which require restraint, the natural
ambition which springs from a no less natural
pride of country, the tendency as old as the
world is of the strong to oppress the weak,
and the embarrassment of adjusting interna
tional differences without a resort to the
ultima ratio. All this, we may admit, is ex
tremely disheartening, but it is not more so
than much else in the constitution of society
which offends the better and truer moral sense.
It is simply evidenoe of one kind of human
infirmity, as the institution of courts of justioe
is another. It is possible that the time may
come when there will be no theft, no cause
for civil actions-at-law; when the Golden ltule
shall everywhere prevail, and when it shall
be clearly apparent that society has outgrown
the constable, and has no longer need of the
jail but have we any reason for anticipating
this blessed condition of things to-morrow,
or next week, or even next year? The aboli
tion of all military forces maybe a thing
very properly to be demanded by Pennsylva
nia peace societies; but it must be preceded,
if it is to take place at all, by an immense
advance of mankind, not only in moral dis
crimination, but in the will to act by its re
sults. There may be a clear enough percep
tion of the right, and still a shamefully eager
pursuit of the wroBg. A strict adherence to
the doctrines of Christianity upon the part
of all men would involve a general paci
fication; but does Christianity itself teach
ns to hope for this at once?
Moreover, is it not true that a vast
majority of those professing Christianity to
day, after its long establishment, believe it
to be certainly not unchristian to resort to
force for the protection of the person against
illegal violence. And, while men continue so
to believe, and while this violeaoe continues,
we shall have private and publio wars; and, as
tne last may at any time come, we shall Lave
armies. Joint llieh Commissions may ami.
cably adjust many differences otherwise to be
fought out; and in this there is a great cain:
but we shall have no universal peace until
Buch commissions have become unneces
sary. TLey may be an improvement upon
the old diplomatic aoubie-aealine: but thev
do not by any means indicaU that nations
intend to abandon war. Ah, if thev would 1
&h, if they could I Clear enough are our
perceptions of the disrepute which war brines
upon the nature of man, of the discredit
which it does to our mnch-bepraised civiliza
tion, of the agony which it indicts upon in
nocent peoples and upon the whole class of
non-combatants, of the material destruction,
the famine, the pestilence, the homelessaess
and the houselessness of whioh il is the
parent. It is through all history a demon
titration of man's self-stultification; but until
all of us grow wiser and better, how are we to
ue wnouj rid of it ?
WIIAT DO YOU WANT ?
Frm the K. Y. Times.
There are Republicans who have nursed
their grievances so assiduously as to find
fauae for great rejoicing in the Deuiocratia
victory in New Hampshire. It is, they say,
a good lesson for General Grant it will bring
him to his senses, etc., etc Well, now, it is
very convenient to have a scapegoat at a time
like this, and who so fitting to be made use of
in that way as the President? There he
is in a conspicuous position, and it is
the simplest thing in the world to
make him responsible for everything
that goes wrong. It is doubly convenient
because it saves you, who make the charges,
from taking any blame to yourself. As for
the justice of the course, who thinks of doing
President Grant justice ? No, no it suits
Ihe whim of many ltepublicans far better to
charge him with all kinds of offenses, and to
read those generous and manly attacks upon
his father, his wife, and all who belong to
him, which are prepared from timo to time
by the professional libellers of the press, and
which pass muster in these days for politioal
criticif-m.
If President Grant is "all wrong" at this
particular crisis, where is your man who is
"all right?" Bring him out. Let us have a
look at him. Why make him a "dark horse? "
Nobody wants to prevent you "saving the
country." If you have got anybody stowed
away in the background who can reconoilo
the discordant sections of the Republican
party, and give to each section all that
it demands, for pity's sake let us know
who he is. Where is your one man who
is to-day more entitled to the confidence
of the country than this much abused Presi
dent whom you first dragged from a post
with which he was well satisfied to make
President, and whom you then prooeeded to
scold, misrepresent, and abuse ? Politics is a
practical business, not a jack-o'lantern, to be
pursued by fanatics, sentimentalists, and
"soreheads," with the publio at their heels.
We must have some man at the head of af
fairs, and not an abstraction hatched by doc
trinaires. Now where are you going to find
a man you Republicans who go about raving
at General Grant likely to do all that you
require of him ? Why, if you could produce
such a man by evolution, or natural selection,
or any other device of the philosophers, you
would be pelting him with mud before six
months were over. "It is all President
Grant's fault," Very good then, of course,
you have some policy to suggest which would
restore harmony and enthusiasm to the Re
publican ranks ? Let us hear what it is.
Wendell Phillips speaks first. What does
he take to be the panacea for all our troubles?
Here we have it, red-hot from the National
Standard of this week: "Nothing short of
half a dozen Southern millionaires at the
drum-head will awe the Ku-klux into submis
sion." Mr. Phillips prints this new remedy in
capital letters, but it looks to us sufficiently
fierce in ordinary type. And again he talks of
"sweeping Rebellion with the besom of des
truction and leave it no ruler but the sword,
until every now living white man is in his
grave." Mr. Phillips puts no commas in
this sentence, nor do we, for it is clearly
meant to be read in a breathless manner.
Now is this the magie policy which would
have prevented New Hampshire going Demo
cratic? The New York Evening I'ost as
thoroughgoing a Democratio paper as you
will meet anywhere vows that even the com
paratively moderate measure introduced into
Congress for the restoration of order at the
South, would "fall with the certainty of
doom that always falls on madness in power."
A charming sentence, although we cannot
pretend to say what it means except that
Wendell Phillips' Bpocifio would not take with
the I'ost. So here we have tho doctors quar
relling over the patient, and protesting that
each other's prescriptions would be certain to
put him out of the world. Republicans are
everywhere wrangling about the differences
which they have created for themselves, and
then they go shouting at the President, and
tell him that it is all his fault that they are
living like dogs, whose nature it is, as we
know on the very best authority, to bark
and bite.
Let those Republicans who are clamoring
for the "impeachment" of Grant and the
dissolution of their party come out plainly
and tell us what it is they want. If you don't
like the President's policy, why don't you
suggest a better one? not on a single point
only, mark you, but upon the entire range of
questions with which a man in the Presi
dent's position is necessarily required to
deal. It is easy enough to keep on nagging
at a public officer, but can you produce a
policy better than that which he is pursuing ?
If not, the best thing yon can do is to lock
yourself up in a room and have your minister
come and talk to you, or read you a few chap
ters out of some good book, or else you had
better fight it out with your own shadow,
and not go forth like a prophet of evil into
the publio streets, wringing your hands and
tearing your hair, and calling out for "more
gore and a lew bouthern heads as Mr.
Phillips does, for instance byway of freshen
ing things up a bit.
GENERAL BUTLER'S KU-KLUX BILL.
From tlte if. Y. World.
We approve and endorse the resistance
made by the Demooratio members of the
House, on v ednesday, to the introduction of
the so-called Ku-Klux bill drafted by General
Butler. It is an occasion which justifies re
course to every obstructive parliamentary de
vice. It is the duty, not of Democrats only,
but of all honest men, to meet this latest
scheme of tyranny at the frontier, and to
withstand and ngtit it at every stage or its
progress with every weapon and by every
kind of taotics.
If, in spite of all resistance, this bill posses
and is signed by President Grant, then we
will spurn and spit upon it, and counsel a
resolute opposition to its enforcement. An
army of five hundred thousand men will not
Builice to put such a law in execution.
If this incendiary fire-brand is flung into
the South it will kindle a conflagration which
it may require rivers of blood to extinguish.
The passage of such a bill is the overthrow
of the Constitution and the destruction of our
free institutions; and whoever acknowledges
its authoriiy or submits to its enforcement is
a traitor to his country. We have steadily
counselled forbearance and moderation; but
if this bill passes the country has got beyond
the point where forbearance ceases to be a
virtue, and the time will have come for stout
hearts and bold leaders. Life, property, all
material interests, are trivial in the faoe of
such an issue as these mad revolutionists are
seeking to force upon the country.
We are clad to find that the most respect
able Republican journal in the country, the
Jtveritng rost, meets inis urn on ine tares u
old . with a vigorous protest against its pis-
sage, lint the l ost overlooks the most atro
clous and intolerable feature of this re vol u
tionary bill. The ground on whieh the I'ost
condemns and denounces it are amply suill
cient to warrant the prediction that a free
people will never brook its enforcement; but
its worst parts still remain to be described
It is the very essence of this infamous bill
that it puts the lives, liberty, and property of
citizens at the mercy cf a partisan
fwmrt and a cnnninclv racked iurv Trial bv
military comiaisaioiia u infinitely preferable
to this insulting mockory of justice. It is
the difference between a scourge of whips
and a scourge of scorpions. The Ku-Klux
bill, with all its atrocities, would be harmless
if the accused were to have a fair trial before
an impartial jury. No twelve honest and un
biased men would ever agree on a vereict of
guilty under this outrageous law. The trial
by jury was thought by the framers of tho
Constitution a complete security against op
pressive or unrighteous Federal laws. Hence
the reiterated emphasis with which the Con
stitution asserts the inviolability of that chief
snnctuary of freemen, the right of trial by
jury. We copy the following provisions:
The trial of all crimes, except In cases oflmpeach
nienf , shall be by jury.
No person shall be hold to answer for a capital or
otherwise InlaiiiotiR crime, unless on a presentment
or lncllrtment or a grand jury.
In all criminal prosecutions the acensed shall en
Joy the right of a.ppcedy and public trial by an Im
partial Jury of the State and district wherein the
crime shall have been committed, which district
shall have been previously ascertained by law.
Nobody knows better than General Butler
that if these careful provisions of the Consti
tution were allowed to operate according to
their plain intention, his infamous law would
be a dead letter, as nobody would ever be
convicted under it by an impartial Southern
jury. His ingenuity has therefore been
exerted in contriving means to evade these
requirements. The problem was, to pack a
jury with political partisans, and still keep
apparently within the letter of the Constitu
tion. It is a vain endeavor. Nothing is more
obvious on the face of the bill than its inten
tion to circumvent the Constitution, and de
fraud the accused of their right to be tried by
"an impartial jury." One means of attaining
this object proposed in the Ku-klux bills
drafted by other members, was by compelling
all jurymen to take what is called "the iron
clad oath," that is, to swear that they had
never voluntarily participated in the Rebel
lion. Butler is too sharp not to perceive
that even this would endanger the success of
the scheme. Boys who were eleven years old
when the Rebellion commenced are qualified
for jurymen now; and in every Southern
county there is a crop of such citizens who
could take the oath. If there Should be even
one impartial man in a jury of twelve, nobody
could be convicted under this infamous law.
Moreover there are many Southern citizens
who were of age when the civil war broke out
who can conscientiously take the oath. Juries
must be unanimous in order to render a ver
dict; and a vigorous exercise of the right of
challenge which belongs to the prisoner in a
jury trial, would be pretty sure to bring at
least one firm and impartial man among the
twelve. So General Butler has introduced
into his bili a carefully guarded device
to prevent anybody but negroes and
carpet-baggers from being summoned
to serve on juries. A partisan mar
shal, liable to be turned out of offioe
the moment he displeases the President, is to
select, each autumn, a sufficient number of
radical names to supply all the jurymen
likely to be wanted for a year. The names of
these negroes and carpet-baggers are to be
put into a box from which all actual jurymen
are to be drawn. If the number drawn is ex
hausted by challenges before the twelve is
completed, the same box of radical names is
to be again resorted to, and the most minute
and stringent provisions are made to guard
against the remotest possibility of any one
impartial man getting upon any jury. If the
law is not to be a dead letter, if it is ever in
any case to be executed at all, some such
crafty scheme for making up juries from
which every impartial man is excluded, was
absolutely necessary.
Now the reason why an attempt to exeouts
this law, if it should pass, will justify resist
ance to the last extremity, is that it denies to
every person acoused under it his right to a
fair trial by an impartial jury of the vicinage.
These bastard packed juries will be as servile
tools of the President as Jeff ries and other in
famous judges were of the Stuart kings. If the
bill permitted a fair trial by an impartial jury
selected without regard to political bias,
we would counsel no other resistance than
appeals to public opinion. An honest jury
trial would protect citizens against any very
flagrant injustice. But the very corner-stone
of ourjiberties is removed, and the whole
edifice tumbles, when an unjust and uncon
stitutional law is enforced by packed juries
consisting of heated partisans who hate the
prisoner for his politics and are bent upon
his ruin. It is a far more nefarious mookery
of justice than trials by a military commis
sion; for military olnoers have sufficient
standing to be held amenable to publio
opinion, whereas juries of low negroes
without any character to lose will be shielded
from personal infamy by the obscurity into
which they immediately return. The lives of
the most respectable citizens of the South
will be at the mercy of their inveterate politi
cal opponents. It is quite certain that other
citizens will not be passive spectators of such
a wrong. If Grantand Butler choose to get
up another rebellion against the Constitution
and inaugurate a new civil war, on their
heads will be the consequences. They will
learn .that a great deal of the blood of our
patriot forefathers still flows in American
veins.
Under this infamous Ku-Klux bill prisoners
are to be tried by a biassed court as well as
by a packed jury. Only the circuit judges
are to be peimitted to conduct such trials;
but every one of these circuit judges is an
appointee of General Grant, who aims to
prostitute the judiciary to party objects.
Most of the distriot judges were appointed by
General Grant's predecessors, and their sub
serviency cannot be trusted.
We implore the radicals in Congress to
"let us have peace." Bat the American peo
ple have not yet become so degenerate as to
be willing to purchase peace, valuable as that
blessing is, at the prioe of liberty and the
most sacred guarantees of the Constitution.
