The lending journals of the North, are commenting very freely upon the exercise ofjuriediction assumed by tbe military commanders of the South, nud express surprise at the remarkable patience with which the militn/y rule id submitted to, by the Southern people. The military governor!) have assumed and exercised .the right to suspend various Slate laws, nnd .to remove the highest State functionaries According to the New York Tribune, tlie militnrv rovernmpnt of the South in Dip vcpu ? _ sence of despotism ; is not sustained by any .proper constriction of the military acts, and could ouly be tolerated by ao impoverished, depressed and disheartened people. Iu thi* State, however, there is no doubt, but that the various orders of the Commanding General, suspending tho enforcement of legal process, and interfering with the State laws In other particulars, have been prompted by a desire to relieve tlie public distrees, aud however tinhave been generally regarded as be i n their operation, ns humane iu their intention. Tho more recent orders seem, however, not to be su^tuiued by tho same policy, .which could aione excuse the exciciae of unauthorized tnililary authority, and seem entirely Amenable to the following censure from the Tribune : "Now we henrof regulations promulgated by a general order under date of May T50, which .carry.military interference to a point beyond nay ix-ached elsewhere. They are regulations which cover ground properly belonging to the local municipal orgiinizaf ionp, and in no sense, that we cun perceive, comprehended within til# VB n rro r\ f tl*A ?I'- 5 ?" - * ?..c vtiicimo uu11e.?. Among other.matters, tlicy forbid tho granting of license* to any but inn-keepers for t! o sale of liqqors in quantities Its* than one gallon ; and tliey declare void ''all contracts hereafter biade for the jnsiiufaetwre, sale, or transporta tioa , storage or insurance of intoxhcating liq. uors." " So civil action," declares the order, " suit, or proceeding for the enforcement of any such contract shall be entertained in any eouTt." The order forbidding the distillation of grain, although arbiiinry, was apparently excused by the scarcity of food. But -what can justify or palliate this meddling with an important branch of business in a manner vrhich rampant prohibitionists of New England dare hardly attempt! Iu the some inexcusably harsh spirit, General Sickles decrees that the proprietors of railroads, horse-cars, and teamboats shall not establish any diacriinina tion on account of color or caste, op pnin of ^>eii)g arrested for misdemeanor, and summarily tried by b military tribunal, We cannot but consider thj? ap excess of authority. The loyal officials of New Orleans where ihie very question has been raised, have taken a much piore prudent course, and 0110 more likely to produce harmony among the citizens." The various arbitrary acts of General Sherjidau in removing the civil authorities in Louisiana, have been annulled by the President, and it is supposed will lead to his early removal. "With regard to tlis excess of authority assumed here and elsewhere, the Iniilligmcer makes the following remarks, and urges a strong plea in balmlf of the supremacy of the law ; lue Habit of removing civil officers is becoming chronic throughout the South. General Sheridan, not satisfied with his previous performances in that way, has just removed the levee commissioners and Governor Wells himself. We have small reason to regret the latter on his own account. He has borne him self unworthy in his high office, and in repeated instances has nrrnjed Jiimoelf against the interests and wishes of his people. His conduct at the hour of the riot was cowardly and unjust. But if he were the meanest Executive that ever disgraced the Executive chair, we would ?till protest ag&inst his removal, lie was elected by th j people of Louisiana after ipilitary resistance iu that Stale was overcome, and at a lime when it was recognized by President Lincoln as in tho Union. According to our view oj the Constitution Genoral Sheri?...j u?u unu no xuore right to depose him than lie - Lad I? depose the Governor of New York. . The personal or official character of the Executive has nothing to do with Sheridan's assumption of authoiiiy. It is a grots assumption of power which ouglit to be sternly rebuked. V\- .s >?. too, thai General Sickles baa removed t e inf%> or ntidcitil authorities of Fuyetteville, K'. . u C irol na. Tl?i? is another arbitrary exercise of power, if these gentlemen have abused their offices, let thrm be held answerable to the law. We have had enough of military jnisrule, and if publio opinion was in a health)' BOTipal condition, these arbitrary acts would not bo tolerated for a day, and the President would be compelled to comet them. Hut a Cation that'is satisfied with the art est and two year's imprisonment, without trial, even of on unpopular and rebellious citizen, is not as. sen' siiive to hi dividual rights a* ;t oughjb' to be. The law nhoold ba paramount, and every good citizen should steadily and persistently demand its enforcement as well when it is abused oo the persou of tha-unpopular and obnoxious as ?rbci) it is transcended on the person of those eminent aj)d bslpted- for tbeir virtues. We trust that the people tyM speak $ut. It is time that tbe nation was j-eeoyeriqg from the madnaae engendered by the war, and the invioIability of personal and ofieial liberty should ba maintained in the broadest and most uncompromising manner." _ The Kkowkc qopktkb.?Thi? ralualjle State exchange comas to us (bis weak Urgec^aod impror?d.

GOVERNOR OER "We extract from the Intelligencer the following notice of a rccetil speech,- delivered at Anderson C. H.: At the earneet solicitation of many friends, h?? Excellency Qov. James L. Orr contented to address the people of the District oq Uat Monday, in the Court House, upon the political condition of thd country. After reviewing the various plans presented since the war, for the reconstruction of the government, he earnestly insisted upon tho ac ceptance, by the peoplo of South Carolina, of Lho plan of reconstruction now proposed, us the only mean* of preventing the adminiftra. tiou of the affairs of this country from parsing into the hands exclusively of the ignorant, and consequently the barbarian and tyrant, and as the only hope of making this country even tolerable. He showed, from the census of 180)0, tho great preponderance of colored over white voters in the State, and our utter inabilitj- to defeat a Convention, or to piotect ourselves whenever we mnke an jseue with the colored people. According to tho census of 1800, it appears that there are sixty thousand colored voters in the State, while there are only forty thousand white voters, leaving a majority of twenty thousand colored voters. It is true, perhaps, that there ore not as many colored men in South Carolina now, aa in i860, but it ie almost euro thai tho proportionate decrease has been much greater with the white man than with the colored men iu the State, since the commencement of the la(o war. Qov. Orr insisted upon the cultivation of the most cordial and kind relatioui between the two races in tlie South, and the formation of no alliance with the two groat political parties of the nation. The epeech was altogether timely, considerate and forciole, and we feel sure that our excollent Governor was actuated alone b5> motives of love for his native land, in thus enmextlv involcintr liia follow '? , , .. 6""?' the only means of preventing anarchy and ruin to our already down trodden and desolated land. SKETCH OF THE PRESIDENT. ' From an interesting letter of I'ertunne to the Charleston Jterenry, we extract the following graphic sketch of the Chief Magistrate: "lie steps to the front of the piazza. There id a momentary pauce, and a pair of keen dark eyes, across which the lids appear to be contin ually striving to reach other, aro thrown searchingly around the crowd. The latter return the surveying look, and ?ee oocaied ia a plain broadcloth auit^ a figura of medium height, full, amooth and exhibiting evidences of an excellent appetite. The head resta ao nugly upon tlio brood shoulders that the neck ia invisible. - The iiair ia d ark, almost glossy bloak, and every fibre shows the cnre with which it has been adjusted. You may see such a forehead every day, and in its slightly retreating shape, which leaves the psrceptivc faculties just above the eyo fully developed, you alwaya recognize the mark of a thoroughly practical man. The nosa is straight, but the lines running from' its broad base to the corners of the mouth, gives to ths features a somewhat cynical expression. n? if ' ? - ""'ft antagonism wilh the world had cowed the disposition of the man and made liim auspicious and indifTereut. The mouth und chin are unmistakable signs of firmness; and, indeed, these two features reviewed in counection wifh that curious pair of sharp eyes, which never rest long enough on one object to let you catch their meaning, constitute the external alphabet of the roan's character. At a glauce you are impressed wilh au idea of indepeudeuce amounting almost to obstinacy; of indifference that verges on suspicion ; of a perceptive power that reads you through; and yet of a strength of the will and courage, combined with an intellect more than sufficient to carry him through difficulties before -which ordiuary men would quail. . "All these forbidding features, however, *re lost when the President uubends from the severe and stately dignity nssumed for the occasion, and gives free play to his natural sociability and disposition, lie is then plain Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee?the man of the world, the truest kind of a friend to tho?e in whom be has confidence, the genial, opeuhearted, liberal-handed, democratic coual." Tus Counr or Equity.?The Coort of Equity Tor our District convened its-June sittings here, on Monday last*. his llooor Henry D. Lesesne. of Charleston, presiding. His Honor has only been recently elevated to the Bench bnt has already established a character as an able and enlightentd magistrate. He brings to the discharge of his official duties, an enlarged legal experience, a mind eminently judicial, unwearied patience, and remarkabje courtesy and urbanity. The Dockets of the Court are crowded with larjre incrpnun nf ?M l>n?in?.. and an unuiual array of new coses, bat most of these involve uo matters of litigation aud are being rapidly disposed oL Among the members of tho bar io attendance from other Districts we observe Gen. M. C. Butler, of Edgefield, L- J. Jonee, of Newberry, and W. "C. iitrris, of Laurens. " The Oi'knino of tub Circuit Court is is'oRXii Carolina.-r-Cbjef-Justice Chsse in opening the Cirouit Court in Raleigh on the Olb inst, made an address in which he tfcus asserts the supremacy of civil law in the Southern States: ' "It it true lliat.tbe military authority is still e;ercUed within these Southern Circuits, tyit not now as fornferly, in ounsrquence of the dis |>(j?n(suca vi loeai lUUIorxy, ip(l II) fUp/srvision or control ot all the tribunal*, whether Stmt# or national.

Genkbal Order No. - 84.?It is stated that thecause which led to the issuing of Order No. 34 was a belief on tho part 01 General Sickles that justice 7ak pot improperly admiuiitered in some parts of (lie Slate as ii. might be. " This being his belief, he thought it adrisable to make an order which uhould allow the civil authorities to retAin the primary control of civil affair*, while, at the same time, such informotion was furnished to the military authorities as would enable them to revise-any action already token, or to take any further action ns might be considered nocesaary.

Maximiltan.?Signor Romero, the Minister of Jnurez, at Washington, write* n letter to the New York Herald, in which he argues that it would be impolitic in Mexico to allow Maxi miliar) to go to Europe, because "he will be a continual menace to the Slate of Mexico," asserting that he will call himsolf Emperor of Mexico, maiutuin a court aiiout him, aud return after a time, like Iteibide, to claim his Empire, tic od?Js that-Mexico cannot afford te be magrxnimous, like the United States, because she is feeble, aod the United States powerful. Tlie argument ie a foolish, timid and cruel ono,? Itomero does not seem to favor murdering the Emperor, but pretty plainly indicates imprisonment for life, in imitstion of the refined example of the Allies in dfcposeing of Napoleou. Business in New Tons.?The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: " By common consent we art now entering upon the dullest period of the year.
