The Prosident, in his proclamation on the act of Congress ‘‘to enforce the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, and for other purposes,” says that “it applies to all parts of the United States and will be enforced everywhere to the extent of the powers vested in the Execu- tive;” but that ‘inasmuch as the necessity therefor is well known to have been caused chiefly by persistent violations of the rights of citizens of the United States by combinations of lawless and disaffected persons in certain localities, lately the theatre of insurrection and military conflict, I do particularly exbort the people of those parts of the country to suppress all such combinations by their own voluntary efforts, through the agency of local laws,” &c.; and in the event of their failure to do so, notwithstanding his reluc- tance to exercise the extraordinary power con- ferred upon him, he says:—“‘I will not hesi- tate to exhaust the power thus vested in the Executive, whenever and wherever it shall bocome necessary to do so for the purpose of securing to all citizens of the United States the peaceful enjoyment of the rights guaran- teed to them by the constitution and the laws.” The law which the President thus promises to enforce, whenever and wherever be may deem it necessary, empowers him in his dis- cretion to suspend the habeas corpus, to pro- claim martial law and to employ the army and navy of the United States. The lawless combi- nations against which, if necessary, he will ex- ercise these powers are known as the Southern Ku Klux Klans, They are represented as secret political organizations, whose common object is by floggings and hangings, by fire and a general system of terrorism, to put dowa the Southern blacks, “‘scalawags” and “carpet-baggers,”’ a3 a political party, and thereby to tura over the vote of the Southern States to the democratic party in the approach- ing Presidential election, Whatever may bo the facts as to these Ku Klux Klans and their outrages, whether exaggerated or otherwise, we shall not here d'scuss, Our present purpose is to consider this proclamation of the President and the so-called Ku Klux bill to which it refers in their political aspects in reference to the Presidential succession. There are two parties in the South, which we may call the administration party and the opposition party. The. administration party is mainly composed of the Southern blacks, is mainly directed by Northern political adventurers known as ‘‘carpet-baggers,” while the comparatively few native Southern whites belonging to it are, by the other side, desig- nated as ‘“‘scalawags,” and according to Web- the planters—the @ominant, landholding and law-abidins class—to the “‘poor white trash,” as defined by the blacks, including the miser- able North Carolina “tar heels,” the South Carolina ‘‘sandhillera” and the Georgia “crackers.” In the old slavery times these elements of the ‘poor white trash” were largely vagrants and pariahs, living among the p'ne barrens and sand hills by sufferance from the land-owning planters, But under the laws of slavery these pariahs were atill so far above the blacks in the social scale that the “sandhiller,” however much despised by the planier and his slaves, could still afford to Shippi gtetie Pi ama terest Le résumé of the cl gives an inte: ng marks of the debate on the new const Ocean Po Parliame: Congress! peley {informed ihe House of Co that the United States goverament was prepared for a reduction of ocean postage.

The general guriosity was, however, gratified to a very fhoderate extent by Viscdunt Enfield, who lord it at least over the ‘‘free nigger.” It can be understood, then, how genuine must be the hatred against the negroes by the uncultivated rn “poor white trash” under the new | of thinvs, which gives the negro equal civil and political rights; and here we get at the materials to a great exient of these Ku Klox Klans, But the whole body of the Southern white population, of every class, feels more or less the pains and penalties of a revolation which has tora up their cherished social and politi- cal institutions by the roots, and which, politi- cally, has made slaves of the masters and masters of the slaves. Granting that it is perfectly natural that the blacks, emancipated and gutranghiged by the party in power, should en maasé join this party, what else could be expected from the whil under their political misfortunes and disabilit but acommon political cause against the blacks? Take, for example, the State of South Caro- lina. Hiere we have a population of three hundred thousand whites and four hundred thousand blac! the white clement p ing all the lands and representing the capital, property, education and intelligence of the State, and the black element steeped in the ignorance, stupidity, wrongs and hates of slavery. Yet this black clement now governs avoided, looking to the inevitable excitements of the coming Presidential campaign? It may be avoided by extreme caution and wise disere- tion on the part of General Grant; by a local enforcement of law, order and the rights of all citizens in the South, and by a union of the Northern and Southern democracy upon Gen- eral Sherman as thelr Presidential candidate. They want just such a man as the representa- tive of their fu‘ure policy in both sections. They want a man whose name of iiself, in the North and the South, will dispel the cloud of suspicion and dis‘rust which hangs over the democratic party touching the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and General Sherman is this man. It is manifestly the policy and purpose of General Grant to compel the de- democracy to face the musie upon these amendments. They can do it to the complete satisfaction of the country in the nomination of General Sherman for the next Presidency. His name, as the can- didate of the Southern whites, will enable them to gain large reinforcements from the Southern blacks, With ‘Mr. Sherman,” as they called Lim in Georgia on his “march to the sea,” the blacks will feel secure in their civil and political rights, and the distrustful antagonisin between them and their late mas- ters will cease, and political harmony between the two races will follow. In the present aspects of the political divisions between the two races South we have something of the symptoms of that ter- rible conflict between the old Bourbon aris- tocracy and the masses of the French people which culminated in the Roiga of Terror; and in contemplating a white pay anda black party in the South we cannot forget that fearful war of races which in St. Domingo resulied in the bloody extermination of the weaker party. We rely much upon General Grant’s discretion ia the enforcoment of this Ku Klux vill; but we can think of no better or surer device for peace and harmony between the whites and blicks in the South in our coming Presidential contest than the nomina- tion by the democracy of Geacral Sherman as their candidate. We think, in this view, that Governor Hoffman will agree to give way to Sherman; and what say the sachems of Tam- many Hall? spects for Pence in France. Our despatches from the scat of war in France do not indicate a speedy re-establish- ment of peace in that distracted country.

We are at a loss wholly made up of the Southera whites, from ' for an answer. t We can sce no épening whereby order is to be restored from the con- dition of anarchy that now exisis. Poor France! the ordes' through which she is now passing may tend to better matters when peace and its attendant blessings come again, and we hope that such may be the case; but we have our doubts, for she has signally failed to profit by the numerous lessons of a like nature that she has received at other periods. Marshal MacMahon is un- | doubtedly using every effort to reduce the po- sitions of the iusurgents that now form a bar- rier to his entrance to the city, This has first to be accomplished, and it is provinga dificult piece of work. We think it clearly indicated now that his movemement with an entire corps of his army against the western enceinte was made in expectation of a rising within the city of the friends of the zoverament, which was promised at a certain time, but which failed, Jad it been atiempted, bis large force was to have. acted auitaneously with it, and an effort would have been made to gain po: sion of Paris by 3 of the assistance from the inside. President Thiers has said that an at- tempt will be made to effect a compromise, and if it fails the city will then be carried by assault, If this is the one party or the other will Lave to reecde from the determined stand they have heretofore taken, Either the Com. mune or the government will have to make concessions. We scarcely believe the former will, desperate as its condition apparently ia; and we doubt the expediency of M. Thiers giving in to any of the demands of the Reds, France would not profit by the latter course, for if adopted the red republicans would be jed to believe themselves the power of the land, and able to dictate any terms in the future that their leaders might suggest, We think that granting any conditions other than unconditional sarrender would only lead toa temporary peace, and be without any perma- nent bevefit to France. In common with all South Carolina, and in such a spirit of igno- rance and stupid arrogance that it appears to have pushed the diszusted and bewildered whites to the verge of civil war. Under this condition of things can we wonder at the indifference of the white planters to the law- less Ku Klux combinations referred to by General Grant? Trained to a life of aristo- cratic indolence, is it not consistent with the Carolina planter’s training to let things around him take their course whea he is powerless to command them? Hexe, thon, we jet ese two Southern partiee—an sumials Fallon fad an opposition party, a party of whites and a party of blagks—= arrayed against each other as the grand result of Southern reconstruction, Here we reach only stated, what is already known from our Washington corres; oudence, that the Commis- sion had agreed to refer the British claims to a special commission, which may simply mean that the Joint High Commission agreed that they could not agree. Dr. Livisestong ALIvVe Bur DestireTe.— We published on Thursday a telegram from Bombay stating that according to the latest advices Dr. Livingstone was at Zanzibar, alive and well, but in a destitute condition. This announcement sounds rather odd, as money and luxuries are things unknown ia the wilds of Africa, and any one living among those be- nighted beings can hardly be supposed to pos- sess anything beyond the most indispensable necessaries of life. Be it, however, as it may, ‘we are glad to hear the news that Dr. Living- tone is clive confirmed by the authoritative tatement of Earl Clarendon, in the House of rds, and hope to hear that the British gov- roment bas sent aid andthe necessary means pf transportation to tbe great African exvilorer, the underlying object of this Ku Klux bill an this Ku Klox proclamation, The object 1s to maintain or regain the ascendancy of the ad- ministration party in the Southern States a which the tr others we can only hope for a speedy conclu- sion of the present frightful civil war; but we do not wish to it ended except on such terms as will secure peace in the future, and with ample guarantees that order and quiet will for a long time take the place of anarchy and bloodshed.

The Canadian Fenian raid claigis were strongly urged by the British Commissioners, but the American mem- were inexorable, and the question was finally excluded. Senators Cameron and Morton, members of the Senate Com- mittee on Foreign Relations, closely examined the treaty yesterday, and expressed them- selves satisfied with its stipulations, which they consider most favorable to the interests of the United States, Tho English Commis. sioners insist that strict eilence shall be main- tained in regard to the special points adjudi- cated until after the treaty has been ratified, and consequently tlhe particulars of the nego- tiations cannot tor the present be given to the publics ours asaomasatags ee aneeas mmemasmtonaairceme ee ee sire ar NR a A ee Te TNE Ee red ae ee mE The Putuam Murder—Puablic Sentiment on the Case. It will be seen from the batch of communi- cations which we publish elsewhere this morn- ing, that public sentiment is still very greatly excited regarding the murder on the street car. In a case which so directly affects the interests of every respectable man in the community—and the victim, instead of Mr. Putnam, could have been any one among us without straining the cireumstances or the probabilities—it is reasonable that there should be violent excitement and violent suggestions offered by the people, who find themselves daily and nightly in imminent risk of just such outrages and insults as Mr. Putnam and the ladies accompanying him received. Many of our correspondents suggest the vigilance committee; others make very valuable sug- gestions concerning new regulations on the street cars; others condemn the police, and still others doubt the just decision of our judges. Vigilance committees are the unhealthy pro- ducts of wild and barbarous countrics, and would never serve their purpose, which, how- ever good, is at best badly served, in a city of such wealth and civilization as New York. Besides, we do not need their aid. We have judges and prosecuting law officers sufficient to bring the people’s case to a successful issue against all the legal quibbles and technicalities that may be drummed up by the defence. If Foster is really guilty we feel pretty sure he will be coavicted. If he is not no one wishes to have him convicted. But it is an old axiom of law—not the soundest in the world, we believe—that a jury must bave no opinion upon the subject brought before them, and the consequence is that conscientious men who are informed upon the particulars of this case, and who consequently must have formed an opinion or shown themselves unusually dull, are debarred from serving upon the jury. A panel of five hundred jurora is directed for Thursday next, and among this number there will be found very few who have not already formed some opinion on the merits of the case, Therefore, while public sentiment plainly indicates what is demanded for its own safety in this matter, the course of the law, naturally tuat of a meandering stream, which follows the’ sinuosities formed by technicalities and quibbles, does not debouch always at the point that public sentiment, with air-line directness, has reached from the first. The law must take its gqurse, and public gentiment, ever so loudly expressed, Gafifot tura it out of its tortuous channel. The people there- fore must be patient, Give even tothe crimi- nal the privileges guaranteed him in the statutes, and for the rest depend upon the wisdom and acumen of our public officers, both judiciary and police, for protection, * gee Recent Speech of Senator Schurz. We publish this morning the speech do- livered by Senator Schurz, of Missouri, at St. Louis, on the 1st inst. Mr. Schurz holds a peculiar position in our politics, Although a member of the republican patty, he has re- fused to acquiesce in its most important Measures, and at the same time he has not gone over to the democrats, Were he simply an insubordinaie republican bis views would be worth liltle, Dixon, Doolittle and a score of others who supported President Johnson's policy were quietly brushed aside and ignored. But it so happens that the radicals cannot easily strike the blow that is to send Senator Schurz to his political grave. He has a large following; his influence over the Gerinan voters in the West is great, and should he come out squarely in favor of the democracy heis likely to carry to their support so large a proportion of the German votes that radical ascendance in Llinois, Ohio and other Western States would soon become a thing of the past. Hence his public utter- ances are of decided importance. In his St. Louis speech he speaks throughout as a mem- ber of the republican party, but he does not atter one word in approval of the course pur- sued by Congress, Ile desires peace and con- cord between the two great sections of the Union, and he believes that this is attainable only through universal amnesty. Ie is op- posed to such measures as the Ku Klux bill because they disregard those constitutional limitations which are the safeguards of our rights and liberties, and pave the way for irre- sponsible personal government. ‘To quote from his own language, Senator Schurz’s political programme is as follows:—‘‘Firm and uncompromising maintenance of equal rights as guaranteed by the constitution as it is; amnesty and a policy caleulated to restore fraternal feeling; strict fidelity to the essen- tial principles of constitutional government ; reform of the civil service; revenue reform and a reduction of taxes.” On this platform Senator Schurz stands and it is the platform of a patriot.

We call upon the health authorities of New York to notice this fact, We have a good deal of trade with Buenos Ayres, and un- less great care be taken this frightful disease may be brought here in some of the vessels trading between the two ports. We narrowly escaped the yellow fever scourge last summer, Had it not been for the vigilance and determi- nation of Dr. Carnochan, the Health Officer of the port, there is no telling what disasters might have befallen this city. He had to fight then against selfish shipowners, shipmasters and merchants, who endeavored to evade the quarantine laws, as well as against the hostility of personal and political enemies; but he car- ried his point and saved the city from yellow fever, The public must rely upon him again in the present danger, and, as the summer sea- soncomes on, for protection, and no doubt he will do his duty, But the Health Board, Quarantine Commissioners and every official connected with this matter must give Dr. Car- nochan all the aid they can to preserve the health of New York, aes - The Three Parties in France.
