Tho fault wo havo to point out in tho Kimm/ 7hMo
in ito character of a Journal of literal uro, is that it

Al present, two or three columns ill each number
aro givon to a Hlatomont of tho principles, nud a
calculation of tho prospects of Radicalism in Eng?
land, by n clover, end, wo suppose, expensive cor
respondent. Tho sanio columns could bo put to a
butter piirpoao. There aro a groat many of lia lu
this country who desire to know something of tho
cotcmporary litornturo of Englaud, Franco and
normally, but who havo not access to tho literary
pallors of tlioso oountrlou. Tho Hound Table
would supply a groat want of its general readers
if it would unilc rtake to givo this Information even
upon tho most modorato ecalo. Tho Satin day H -
view dovotos several pages every wcok to this de?
partment, and thou iii, after all, it givos buts
briof insight into foroicji literature, it supplies tho
want as woll as could bo reasonably expected from
nu English journal on general literature. As an
illustration of tito tardiness with willoh foroigti
books aro noticed in tho Jiound Tiiblc, wo find an
elab?ralo and npprccinttvo notice of AUEBUAOU'S

Jin. Din.MAU, Chief of the "Statistical Bureau,"

that this slupondous task bad boen so quiotly ac?
complished. Wo all know something of tho big

What means tho Assistant Assessors of Internal

?o could not understand. They havo only lists of

our now institution of uni verna l sulTrago. Mr.
DKXIIAU'H Itguros, wo fear, aro not rory reliable.
Uelow wo givo t'.i o uta lo n um I ot ono assistant as?
sessor's experience of census-taking. Otliors may
havo counted nos :s with groat accuracy, but it ls
but natural to supposo that a good deal of tho lalo
"choup" cousus is fancy, and at least a part of it
gUOM-ff Jl'k. Rut seo tho account of tho editor of
tho Graud Ilavon (Mich.) Union, lately an Assist?
ant Assessor iu tho Fourth Michigan District:
"Wo wero not lo bo paid for goiug through our
diviaion and ttking tho conaus, and so, of course,
wo did not do lt. Wo work partly for a living, and
not altogolbor fur tho fun of it; and as to esti?
mating tho population of thirteen towns aud uno
city, without rogard to tho census returns, wo did
not possess enough o. omniscioitco to trust our?
selves with it. Bo wo quietly and soberly sat down,
and, laking tho last cousus for a basis, wo esti?
mated tho advance of each town in our division ni
population nineo thal limo. If wo gut within six
rows ol Oipplo troon of tho truth, it is a wonder."
This census was indeed quiotly taken.
Tim RICHMOND Whig, speaking ot registration
and tho duty of Ibo pooplo of Virginia in rogard to
it, has the following vory sonaiblo remarks: "Con?
gress rules tho tl ovoroniout, and tho Republican

THIS ATTOI11HUY OBNEnAL'S OPINION.
Wc publish this morning (ho opinion of I he
Attorney Ocnoral. Il is n rory ablo opinion,
and from bia point of view, clear and conclusivo.
Wc must suppose that its publication means
that tho President intends to bnHO somo action
upon il. Otherwise timi publication is not
only usolcss but mischievous. If Ibis opinion
is tho propor construction of (ho Reconstruc?
tion Acl, Iben nil tho orders which havo boen
issued from the Head Qunrlcrs of Ibis Military
District nre al once cancelled, anti what is moro,
lite ofiiccr issuing them is responsible to any
individual in damages for any loss (hat those
! orders h rive cn used.
Whether Ibis interpretation of Hie Act is cor?
rect, is a legal question which wo will not
undertake lo decide. Rut ll docs not roquiro
n legal education lo porccivo (hat (bia wholo
question of construction depends rather upon
Ibo intention of tho Act, than ils words. The
ronl iasuo is not what (his or (hat clnusocan bo
interpreted to mean, but what really was (be
power, with which Congress intended lo invest
(ho military commanders of (he District. In I
other words this Act is something moro (han
a law of which any individual may claim tho
technical construction-it is (ho solution of a
political problem, which has an inllucnco
wider than any mero legal enactment affecting
only private rights.
In examining (his opinion, therefore, tho in?
quiry ns to its policy, ns well ns its technical
merits, forces itself upon our considcralion.
And iu discussing ibis question il is impossible
lo disregard (ho public history of its passage.
In IHlii?, tiflcr thc sur rc inter of (len. LEB, il
immediately beenmo a question, whether thc
,cceded Slates wore to bo restored to (ho
Union. If so, on what (erma, and by whom
these terms wcro lo bo prescribed. The Presi?
dent claimed (ho righi to effect this restoration
by a sci.onie of his own devising. Congross
refused lo admit his righi, and for two years
this question, as to whore (ho righi of re-ad
oi?B9ion rr .lcd, exercised thc national lcgisla
titre. It was settled by the passage of thc Rc
conslruci ion Aol of 18C7. That Act decided
Ibo right to bo in Congress, tho law-making
power of thc Government, aud proscribed tbo
terms and modo of ila accomplishment.
When this Act was passed, although over bis
veto, (ho President resolved (o execute il, and
did so hy tho appointment of tho live Command?
ing Gonorals required by ila provisions. They
were appointed and sent lo (heir com mauds
without instructions, and were (bus compelled
to depend upon (heir own construction of (he
Act. Il is difficult to understand why this
was so. Thc santo obie officer who has now
construed tho Acl, was then as he is now,
thc chief Law officer of tho Government
-tho samo views which be holds now, it
is (o bo presumed ho hold Ihon-and suTcly if
cvor thoro was a propor lime when tho Com?
manding (louerais should havo received full
and preciso instructions ns (o their powers
and duties, it was then when thoy were
entering upon tho exorcisa of (hoir
novel authority, and before their action
could be complicated hy the conflict of civil and
military powor. If, aa tho Attorney-General
says, "their education and training have not
boon of thc kind to fit them for tho delicate and
difficult task of giving construction to suoh a
statute aa that now under consideration," why
for four muni hs have they nol only been allow- >
cd, but compelled to construe it? Not only so.
A mouth had not elapsed after their appoint- i
mont bofore, by their acta and ihoir ordere, <
they gave unmistakable evidence of what their i
construction waa-a construction which, wo now
learn from the Attorney-General, was unwar- i
ranted and illegal, and by whioh Ibo lives and I
tho property of freo oitixons for all thia timo i
were unjustly imperilled. Why did not the i
President ?uterfore? Why, during (beac mondia I
of illegal oppression, waa the military com- <
mander of this District, for example, allowed i
(o "put himself upon an equality with the law i
making power of tho Union," or "to placo him- ?
self on blghor ground than the President," and i
"to declare, in o ff rot, I am tho Hiato?" \
If, dnring all this time, the authority of the
military commander depended upon the Presi- <
dent's construction of the Act, why did he not 1
do his duty and construe il? Why did he hand i
over tho pooplo of those .States to (he mercy (
and discretion of a more military usurpation T i
If, on the contrary, thia powor of construe- ]
lion waa only to bo exercised in conformity I
with some political necessity, what has occurred I
to ohango tho condition of things existing at *
the passage of the act T ' Whenoe did tho mili- 1
tary commandera derive the construction which >
(hey have enforood, and why was not that con- <
nt ruction authoritatively corrected t But not '
only havo thc commanding ofheors the right to
complain that they havo been betrayed by the
Qovornmcnt, but what ia our position-the poo
plc of th eso r?tales ? We watched with painful *
anxiety tho debates on this bill-Il waa paescd. *
Tho commanding officers wero appointed. What
wea our duly ? To obey or to disobey thom ? 1
Where did we look for information ? To the -
President. We saw him exeoute tho Act ; we
Baw bim appoint the commanders; wo read
order after order, dealing with our most im- i
portant interesta, reversing our oldest establish- u
cd laws, revolutionising the whole frarao work 1
of our Atnie Government, bot we heard no word ?
of disapproval, no reversal of theae ordors, no
interference in our behalf. Take, for example, ?
Order No. 10, whioh has, porhaps, interfered '
more generally and moro directly with the law I
of the State than any other. If wo had the J
right to suppose for a moment that tho Le- I
giolalure of the Slate would be allowed to E
meet and to take charge of tho intercala
of the State, doea any ono doubllhat it
would have boen assembled and called upon ?
lo do ita duty? But thia order waa Issued -
without the slightest manifestation of disap- c
proval on the part of tho Government, and wo V
naturally concluded that il waa ia the exercise -
of a recognized authority. And under thia im- 1
pression we have adapted our acllon to what Jj
wo oonooived lo be the law of tho land, and o
havo proceeded in good faith towards the work ?
of nco ns intel ion in tho mod? which we had ]
the right to bolieve was recognised aa legitimate -.
by the Government. All this effort is now labor j
lost. ? ' . ' ' ?
But behind ail thia, there in another question,
and one of the most direct practical Imp?rtanos t
lo os. Who is right in this question of con?
struction, the Attorney-General or the Com- E
mending ; General T. Putting technicalities 1
aside, which cone true lion will : prevail f It ia
worso than useless lo t?Hgui?o thc Issue which
it) prcscntcil lo tip.
Tho President anil (.'ongrosH have buen con?
tending for two years, nnd thc result of (ho I
contest lina hern Iho Kerens! ruction Act of |
1HU7, which wno tho defeat of Iho Prcihluiil.
I? this construction of Iho Heo .. -traction Act
nnylhing moro ?ban a rcnownl of Ibby conical,
nud hnvo wo any assurance thal t lie President |
'will not bc defeated again ?
Wo have iho Ad; wc hero nil tho discussion
ou tho Act; wo hnvo tho notion and orders of I
Ibo Commanding (louerais under tho Act; wo I
hnvo tho opinions uf tho pross and of many of
tho leodora of thc Hopublican party upon Iho
course of tho Commanding Generals ns u guido I
lo what is tho opinion of tho great muss of tho
Northern people, us lo what thu Act mcaul, and
how it should bo executed. Has any rensona
blo man in tho South nny doubt that tho North?
ern people, and moro especially lite Hopublican
party, which controls tho present Congress by
a largo majority, approve of tho course pur?
sued hy General" HIIHUIPAS, SOIIOFIHLD, Pom,
Ont) nnd SICKISH? Can nny man havo ?ny
doubt who pays Any nit en I ion Co thc expression
of publie opinion? What I hon is this deelam?
on tho part of tho Government but a ronowal
of the old issue . And what chanco ia there of !
any other result Ilion thc d?font of tho Presi?
dent ? Grant thal tho opinion of tho A tierney
Oenoral is unanswornblo; what then 1 It will
only servo to secure a call of Congress in July;
and what will thal Congress do? They will
either simply seit le tho construction of tho Act
bey end a pei adventure, by tho requisite amend?
ments, or they will treal this attempt to avoid
it as a part of thc pinn of Soulhorn action anil
substituto another net whioh will bo moro ex?
plicit and very much harsher.
Surely no one supposes that tho military
com m and ors in authority will ncquiosco in this
oonslruction. If any ono doon, wc may as well
stale thc fact Ihnl Ooncral SIOKLKS lins nlroady
asked lo bc relieved, and demanded a Court of |
Inquiry upon his conduct. Will tho Republi?
can party who passed thin Ac(, and who have j
resolutely supported thc action .of thc military I
commanders, desert (len. SicKLBs in such a
case ? Will not thc issue thu3 made become a
parly issue, and who is to pay tho costs of tho
controversy but our unfortunate solves?
This is not tho first time that wo hare been
made lo pay for our conftdenco in tho Presi?
dent. Ho undertook to restore us to thc Union
if wo would perform certain conditions. Wo
fulfilled thom-havo wo boen restored ? Whnl |
hns ho succeeded in doing Uiat ho has under?
taken lo do? Upon every occasion, from thc
Convention between Simm AS- and JOHNSON to
tho Reconstruction Act, he has finally yielded,
nnd wo alone havo suffered from tho resist?
ance. Wc hove too much at stake now to re?
peat our errors. If Hie 1'rosidcnl undertakes
al this day-after permitting, without ono word
of remonstrance or objection, iho practical en?
forcement of ono theory of tito Reconstruction
Act to reverse that theory, to prercnt thc exer?
cise of thia extravagant claim of military author?
ity, and lo remand thcSlato t o I he control of its
own civil authority, lui us at lariat hnvo some
security Ihnl ho will persevere in his action,
anti thal if, under Iho opinion of tho Attorney
General, wo refuse obedience lo thc usurpa?
tion of tho military commanders, wo shall bo
hold harmless for our conduct : Ihnl if Ibis oon?
slruction is r?pudiai cd by Congress, which Mr.
SvAMir.itv's opinion will as cortainly call to?
gether in July as if thc summons had already
issued, wo shall not bo held responsible, for 1
tho delay ia thc work of reconstruction, nnd
tho Act will not bo amended so as to bear moro
harshly upon our rights and interests.
There is another point worthy of our con- 1
sideratlon. If Ibo Altorney-Qciiorul's con?
struclion ia tho righi ono, then Governor OHR
ia tho Governor of this State, and tho present j
legislature has tho necessary authority lo
make lawB for Ibo Slate. Then tho ardors
which havo boen issued by Gen. SICKLES aro
no longer of force. Thc confusion, thc uncer?
tainly which will result from this state of
things no language can fully describo. If Or
der No. IO ia not of force, then any creditor |
may instruct tho sheriff to enforoo judgment.
Will the debtors of Ibo Slate submit quietly lo
tho sudden aacrifioc of their properly ? Moro
limn Hint, every caso of violence, every disturb?
ance, we become responsible for, and it will bo
absolutely necessary that tho Legislatura should
be called together at once to make some law
for the Stato. If any man in thia Hinte be?
lieves that good is to result from thia condition
of tbinga ho possesses a power of vision whioh
we do not.
Whether the administration of Gon. SICKLES
has been wise or not, is a question into which
wo do not at present enter. Much that he has !
dono wo think eminently wise-some things
which he baa done we would have had otherwiso,
and whenever that question cornea up for dis?
cussion, we will expresa our opinion frankly,
and, wo hope, justly.
But the question whioh la now raised ls a
much larger one. We do not even undertake
Lo Bay that tho opinion of Mr. STAN BE HY is
?ot legally corred. AU we say ls, that
?f it ls, it ought to havo been issued months '
?go. That now, correct or not, it will surely
-rento inisohlovoua oxcitcment-will aeoure a
lesslon of Congress in July-will give to tho
liiaussion of that body a violeneo and bitter?
lesa from whioh no good can result to us, and
nterrupt tho progress toward reconstruction,
which we wore making quietly and surely.
The question raised by thia opinion ia the
>ld controversy between tho President and tho
Republican party. That controversy can do
is no good. From present appearanooa it can I
md only one way. But at this limo, and under >
ixlsting circumstances, any fixed and aeltled
policy on the part of tbe Government ia better J
lian a vacillating course, whioh makes lasueB t
o-day whioh it abandons to-morrow-which ;
,'xcito hopos it cannot fulfill, and whioh only
jrovolf.es a resistance thal cannot bo effeotivu
without ita support, and which, when the time
ionic", it has not the strength to support.
