S| ie South Carolina Militia?Call of J( Governor Moses for Federal Aid. te ? fei The New York Ilr.rald, in a recent . ticle, directs attention to. the remark- jj< ?le practical commentary on one of the ajj ovislbns of the Federal Constitution, hich is furnished by the reply 01 ac-i rney-General Williams, to the call of J in overnor Moses for troops to suppress 8i: >uaestic violence in Edgefield, that one aj mpbhy was already there, and was 0i >eihed sufficient; and points out the 1C 033 absurdity of the confession that fr le company of Federal soldiers was w mpetent to quell u disturbance which fc le whole militia Of a State was unable ir > put down. pi \et the Federal Constitution grounds W le right to bear arms upon the consid- b ation of "a well regulated militia being li scessary to thesecurity of a free State," id regarding it as the bulwark of Ileublican freedon, relies principally upon j ie military arm of the State to suppress j( 1 domestic violence. Governor Moses, I a ow?ver, in :i State where the blacks|n utnumber the whites in the proportion, j ^ early, of two to one, confesses that the j, egro militia are utterly worthless, and tj Tigris this as a reason for calling for j( ederal troops. In this, as the llcrahl S1 ?mark9, Governor Moses doubtless ex- S| ibits, not cowardice, but sagacity, and ^ is estimate of the value of the militia jf f the State is probably correct. The j] lack troops behaved well enough in le war because they were drilled beire goingjinto the tight, and were then ipporteu by white troops, but what S >uld the undisciplined black militia of ie State do, when confronted with the J arred veterans of many a hard fight. 01 s well might we expect a flock of sheep ii stand before an array of lions. = But what is the couclusion from the ? hole matter? Simply this, that our | :ate governments are not what tho J amers of the Constitution designed em to be. and that governments which ;ed to be supported by Federal bayo.?ts are anything else than Republican", be theory of Republican institutions is at the preponderance of military caicity is with the majority of voters, id no government can be called Reiblican in which it does not exist, 'ith such a constitution of the State, it ust be a rare occasion that the State ivernme'nt is not fully competent to -m ke care of itself without invoking for?n aid; and iu fact, in the whole hisryofour government, there has been ft > insurrection against the State govnment which was not promptly supessed, until the inauguration of the ^ stem of reconstruction. Under that stem, property, intelligence, and mil- ? iry capacity have beeu excluded from 7] e governing body, and the conse- v jence has been, that the State governents have ceased to be Republican, td require to be propped by Federal lyonets. Such is the case throughout ie South, and atfords a sad commentary 1 ion the Congressional system of re- J instruction. ?. The inseparable connection Between a ell ordered militia and free instituans, is clearly sot forth in a report ade many years ago, to the New \ork ^ egislature, by its present Governor: "It is a striking illustration of the geiusofour institutions," said General ix, "that, although we have been at ? 3 period without a standing army, the I. w insurrections which have interrupd our domestic tranquility have been ~ ippressed by the citizens themselves, v ideed, the nature of our political instiitions and the spirit of tlic people are ich that the employment of any other tan a militia force on these occasions ould inevitably have the eflcct of ren- J ?ring every contest more protracted t id sanguinary. A regular force in the tl jrmanent service of the central governlent, is apt to be regarded, however uuistly, as an instrument of power with1 it affinity with the mass of citizens, vd when tmnloyed against any portion ' the people it assumes from that very rcumstnnce the aspect of oppression. uttOa body of insurgents the speecle of a military force depending on le separate authority of the State, i rawn frrtnl atoong themselves and com-i jsed of those who have participated in A le very evils which they are seeking to, \ .'dress, presents a moral example of L rbearance, order and submission to In le laws which must have a wholesome n ifluence in allaying the violence of n leir resolution." tl liut with a militia constituted as ours u now, it seems to be folly to give them ms much ihorc ammunition. Whilst jwerless for the purposes of self-proction, they inspire tin ill-founded condence in one race, whilst they ofler a anding menace and afford constant ,use of irritation to the other race.
