SAVE THEM FROM THEIR “FRIENDS.” Some how or other the President makes no move, mor does he utter any suggestion de- signed to benefit the cause of the restoration of the former Southern governing ideas and | class to the control of that section of the VUnion—for that is the end and aim of all he bas favored in the way of reconstruction—that be does not strike a staggering blow upon Southern interests. In his message of yester- day he strikes those interests perhaps the hardest biow he bas so far inflicted upon them, ‘He suggests that the formal abrogation of the sovereignty of his provisional Southern States governments by Congress, in enacting the sup. plemental reconstruction bill now awaiting veto, amounts to the assumption by the | General Government of the several Southern States debts. Congress, cf course, designed nothing of tbe sort. Yet the idea (which ig | quite as faliacious as his theory of the | repudiation of our national debt, an- | pounced tbrongh Col. Charles Halpine’s | New York (isizen) will make its mark on the future of American politics. Its first effect ‘Will be to create fifty advocates for Mr. Ste- vens’ policy of confiscation where there was oma previousiy; a¢, if the nation is to be re- sponsible for those debts, it must necessarily secure the means of paying them out of the real estate of those whose conduct in becom- ing rebels threw that responsibility upon it. ‘Thst real estate is more than amply sufficient to pay those State debis a hundred times over- Congress bas already decided that the South- erm States are conquered territory without any Tights whatever except such as the conqueror —the United States, speaking through Con- gress—may elect te aceord them. Among those | rights, holders of certificates of Southern States’ incebtedness may rest assured, will not be that of repudiation. The chances are ten to one that, if necessary to head off the | President's notion of justifying repudiation on the part of the Southern States, Con- gress will confiscate sooner or later to pay the St.te aebis referred to above. We have steadily opposed the idea of confiscation, and Tegret exceedingly that the President should thus become its chief and most effective cham- pion. Where the President got this notion of Gen- eral Government responsibility for the South- ern States debis isa marvel indeed, if not from some portion of the “opinion,” that made sup- | plemental reconstruction legislation necessa- ry. If the “opinion” could induce him so to | misconceive the provisions of the Sherman- Snellabarger act as Congress in itsrecent ex- planatory legislation proclaims that he has misunderstood it, itis not wonderful that he bss drawn his State debts-aseumption notion trom the same paper. However, this is the first occasion in which it has been assumed thata sheriff in dispersing a mob, by that act | assumes (he debts of its members. It strikes us that if failing to act promptly he might be justly held responsible for the mob’s torts— | for its wrongs perpetraied on others. But | bow for the debts of its members. we are not svfficiently astute to comprehend. SOUND COUNSEL. Below will be found a letter addressed this forenoon by the Hon. Henry Wilson, U.S. Sen- stor.to a Virginian of high standing, in an- swer to inquiries recently made by the latter. All who really desire the speedy restoration of Virginia to ber former position in the Union | Who at the same time realize the necessities of her cituation, will be solicitous that she shall act promptly and sincerely upon Senator Wil- | son's kind and sensible advice Senate Cuamren, 2 Wasurnoton, D.C., July 15, 1967.5 Wm.

Nothing can bring confiscation upon the peopte of the rabel Siates but the persistent folly and madness of masses of their people,and I cannot believe that the body of their people will, by their future action, bring confiscation upon themselves. I Will suggest. my dear sir, a sure way for your | peopie to avert trom tnemselves confiscation, | remove disabilities, restore law, order, peace, Aud individual and national prosperity and happiness. Letthem abandon at ence and for- ever the ideas. principles asd policies of their “lost cause:” strive to conquer the prejudices, bates and passions engendered by their reba’ lion and the conflict they inaugurated, Let (bem accept the results of the mation’s victory. the unity of the States: the perpetuity of the Republic: she emancipation.enfranchisement snd citizenship of their boudmen. theirequali- | ¥ of rigbts avd privileges. Let them do this in spirit, as well asin torm. Let them estab: lish sehcols for the education of both races. Let them encourage the freedmen to be thrifty snd temperate, to get homesteads and to en- g%ge in industries im varied forms. Let the develop the mighty resources our heavenly Father bas given the people of the Sanny Sonth, and cherish a spirit of fraternity and jove.
