The Untes and Dispositiod of the Arnly Gen. gherlniWs Views, W AsHU NGTON, Septeth per W.-'Th uneasiness reported to exist in some sections of the Southern States is at present a subjeet of conbiderable dis oussion in army ciroles here. Gen. Sherman, in a oonversation, has ex pressod the opinion that it would be fair to leave the preservation of order under the direction of the civil au thoricies of those States, if willing to use it, and to employ the army moro ly as a subsidiary. Ile saye in time of peade, and under the laws as they now stAnd, tho army dan do nothing towards coeroing a pacifioation of the disturbing elements. The army, he says, can arrest, but can neither try a criminal nor punish him after his ar rest, and he must be turnl over to the 0i'vil aithorities, and if it should happen that the, trial, which would have to be by a jury, was before a -jury of persons sympathisitg with the movement whiob pronpted the act of the party acoused, it would be folly .to expeot plilshment. The only dondition of things under Whioh the army could arrest, try and punish, would be the doclaration of martial law in the disturbed loeali ties. The General was under the impression, however, that Congress had deprived the President of that I)ower, and that being so, he could not see how elVeotive work could be done if the ' population persisted in opposition. Of course, if the troubles break oht into armed hostility, the necesmttes of the oase wotld soon bring -th' remedy. Congress could be couvdned and grant the necess.ry money, mcn and mnaLerial. The General does not anticipate any acts of hostility towards the army If the people were drivent to this the forces now itt the South could not take part in aggresive movement, and it is doubtful kWhether they could 'even im;aintain the defensive. Nothing more is anticipated, however, than tho employteit of troops in anaKiug ar rests. At this date the ,yhie utvAl. ry force of the army is in the Indian country or on the Mexican frontier.

It mailtains the et,ttle namt of the public debt and asb fore and will reject all claims against which there is a suspioion.

Lost Opportunities, We give it up. There was a chance that the next HIouse of itop. resentatives would not he Hadical. That chance is gono. The outbreaks in Kentucky and the massacre in I onnessee settle that much. No peo. plo tio party, could stand suoh a load as the people of tha South abd the Democratic party of the North %re forod to carry. Call it what you will-the fruit of reconstruotiobi the fault of the party in po*or, the in evitable conflict of races, precipitated by a bad theory of government, exo outed in a vicious practioe-the one effect of the whole meas of violence is a continuance and reinforooment of the old pretext by which the country has been carried along the same bale ful, partisan rut ever since the war. There is no use writing, talking, speaking, arguf)ing, contradioting, proviig) as the bloody bum-total re corded within the last fortnight, goes out to the world unchallenged by ade quate redress. The Gibson Couuty butchery surpasses belief; and, though the Governcr of TbnnelseO has done his full duty) the gallows can tlone render atonement com menhurate with the publio ex pection. lt.is hardly likely that anybody is going to be hung. The result will be renewedj legislation, additional Radt oal enactments, perhaps uitimately martial law. The fools are not all dead yet. Th is third term discussion has lud many of them to fancy that Grant is about to tumble into the arms of the South. He is the more lkely to be an ultra, martial-law candidate fbr re-loutiun, baoked by fancied mili tary necessities, supported by the machine-work of power, and carried upon the passions of Radicalism. There was a show for the defeat of he civil rights bill. or its voto. That is gone, like the control of' the next House, -tnd the prospect is black with the ruin of CuoacrVative hopes. It is well :to be plain. As as surely us the South bt gins to get' on its feet do its madmen proceed to kick the fat in the fire. The Radi cas only want pretexts. The South supplies them. A war, or the ap po ao ance of a war [of races seems inovitable ; and that is itself a third term under proscriptive au.-pices. This is the toad to the overthrow of Republidan government, but chiefly at thb expense of the South. Mr. Weight the english bar rister who, sometime tAinoe, was con victed at the Cential Criminal Court ih bowndon, and settenced to sil month' hard labor for purloining books from the Inner Temple library, has, since his liberation from conflue ment, been cnlled upon by his Bienobera to nns*er for his eon du'dt-, and hab been disbarred after an iuvestigation laating over three days. During the inquiry it trans. pired that, on being released from prisonj a check Vbpresenting public subscriptions amuounting to X00..was handed over to him. His Benohorm, in declaring he had forfeited his right to be retained on the roll of mem beis, remarked that it was a matter of great pain to them to have to do what dity had rendered imperative, hut after the commaisson of a crime so derogatory to tihe honor of the profossiot, they could not relax their severity.

Louisiana is passing through an. other of her poriodical riots. This time the move has been dignified into a coup d'elat. Tho Kellogg govern mon. is temporarily overthrown, and MeEnery has seized the holm. In order to understand the situation a brief resumoo of Louisiana affairs must be had. Two years ago Kol, logg and MoIlnery aoch claimed to have beon elected governor. The former was seated by a midnight or der of Dtiroll, the U. 8. Judge, McEnery howaver called his legisla. ture together, and for a time the State groaniod under a dual govern went. Each elected a U. S.Sena. tor. Pinchback, the Kellogg con. testant was refused a seat in the Senate, his government thereby be. ing virtually deolared bogus. Con. aross however refu,ed to seat Mo. Nnery, and Kellogg has aeted ~ as governor. The negroes supported Kellogg, and the whites, despiaring of bringing thom to terms organized white leagues and armed theimselves against Kellogg. That funotionary becoming alarmod, a few day- ago confiscated certain boxes Cof arms purchased by the whites. This wa-s an illegal proceeding, as the consti tution guarantees to overy citisen the right to boar arms. The whites had not been doolared rebels or bellege nents, and therefore Kellogg had no authority to declare arms con trabands of war. Trhis unwarranted proenduro rais ed a storn of indignation, and a mass meeting was held under the Clay atitue in New Orloans. Through a subord!nate, Kellogg was orderod to restore the arms, but refused to treat with the insurgents so long as there were armed bands in the city% The meeting then adjourned, but the peo plo retdrned armed, and demanded the abdioation of Kellogg, on the giound that ho is a usurper, the U. S. Senate having refused to re oognize hik government. Penn, the Lieutebant governor on the Mcnuery ticket issued a proola nation doolaring hitmself acting governor, and calling out the militia. He issued an addro's to the colored people that no harm to them is in.. tended if they reanuin neutral, and claiming to :Obt for them as well at for the whites. Armed hen soon appeared. Gen J)d"gstrebt took coimniand of bod of Kellogg's Metru politans but was defoated with the Wuduitn me -. a PICO( tif urtilery. The Metropolitan jo iiee surrendered and Xillogg and Longstreet took refnge id the 4ustoin house protected by Federal troops. Penn seized all the public buildings, proclaimed his governenonl aid tele graphed to Grant that his party is loyal to the general government. In the mean tiu.e, Kellogg made a regu.. lar requisition on the President for tr3ops. The President issued a pro. Clamaltion as follows (We omit the preamble.) No.v, therefore. I, Ulysses S. drant President of the United States, do hereby make proulanation, and com mand said turbulent and] Uliorderly peradln to disperso ,nd retire peacea. bly to their respective abodes within five days frem this date, and buire-| after to submit thenslvda to the lawn and countituted authority of said State ; and I invoke the aid and co-operation of all good citizens thereof to uphidld th'd law and pro serveO thme puAblio peace.

It is well known to you and to the country that, during the past six years, the administration of publio affairs, by the men whom we have placed in ofltoo, has been directed by interests and influonces entirely sepa rato and distinct from the intetoRtt of the people. Combinations such an are known in other States as "rings, but putting, by the recklessness of their action, the "rings" of other States to shame, have seisod upon the iachinery of the Republican par ty and consummated their schemes, to the detrianout, not only of the par ty itself, but of the whole people of the State. Phrough their domina tion, the publio debt has l'een large. ly and fraudulently increased, and an immenso contin,ent and floating debt incurred, without the people .1oeiv.. ing any benefit .in return. Through their domination, the publio credit has been prostratjd below that of any State inthis Union : and through their douination the administration of public affairs throughout the Stato has beei so reckless, so corrupt and so shamoful, that the very name of South Carulina Republicanism has come to be a by-word and reproach to tho lepublictn party of the United States. The universal cry for reform, from within and without the State has ro contly ILd to tho hopo and expecta tion that the Union Republican Stato Coaventiou, recently in sossion in this city, would nominate as oandi. date for Govcrner some member of the Union Republican party who had not been identifled with any of those rings, and who would use the power and influence of his high o(ico for the protection of the people against, legal izod robbery, corruption and wrong. But the influences whiohl have lither.. to prevailed in our conventions and Legislature have, by the use of the ioaus which they have heretoforo employed, prevaiiod in the present Couvention. The "rings" which have brought about the condition of affairs needing to be reformod, have captured the cry of reform for the purpose of maintaining their hold on power, have secured the nominatiotn of a inan for Governor who, as wo sinooroly beliveo, is, Of all men, the most rosponsiblo by his action while Attornly-Ooneral for th ruin of the State, and who sinoo he has ceased to bo Attornoy-General, has been well known from the records of the Ilia "P.0 n1.!nw.!,U VO ih o aiior-, noy and counselor of thoso whose fraudulent claims, if allowed, would mako that ruin complete and irromo diabo. V'ollow-IRepubli0ans, tho hopes yolt have lately entortained that a genu ine and thorough reform would be in augurated by this Convention, have been most oruelly disappointed, Mong for the beggarly pittance of a few dollarv, have deliberately betrayed the confidonoc you have placed in thom. What shall be your action I Will you tamely acquiesco Will you oo your party betrayod-itis honor and good namo still deeper plunged Into infamy and disgrace : WVill you, by your nction, confirm a ti li the oft-repeated assertion of our D)einocratio oppouents; that the call for reform within odr ranka was a nmere sham, and that there is no honesb purpose cntertained by any consid. erable portion of our party to reme dy the tori ible Ovils and eorruptions so loudly complained of by honosb men of all parties t We know that the fifty delegates who voted in the Convention against its nominee, truly' represonied the honest Republican masses of the State, who are, as we believe; unalterably opposed to the elevation to the gubernatorial chair of any representative of the bond ring swindlers within or without the State.
