Lincoln
and Johnson.
President Lincoln set forth in "hi fli-st
Inaugural his belief that tho Union could 1
joc Be broken by any so-called ordinance
of secession In one or many states. The
illegal and rebellious acts wera regarded
pa those of assemblages of individuals,
and not of the corporate states as such.
This was the view commonly adopted In
5e North at the time. But to Lincoln's
practical mind it seemed, when concrete
questions of restoration were to be defi
nitely decided, that this theoretic position

aannony with the prevailing theory of the
early years of the discussion;
It is stated that Andrew Johnson held
mmllar -views as to the indestructibility
of the Union, but ho reached his conclu
Blpns by a different line of reasoning and
Supported them in eo intemperate and
overbearing a manner and with such ex
aggerated deference for Southern state
rights principles that he was soon em
broiled in an unseemly quarrel with the
party which had adopted h'm. As a life
long strict-con,structlon Democrat, he
maintained that the corporate relations of
the states to the Central Government had
Xiot been interrupted by the war, and re
gained intact when hostilities ceased;
that the United States had no authority
to coerce a ftate; riico the rebe'llous
conduct of individuals had deprived the
people of certain states of all civil gov
ernment. It had become necessary to en
force the obllgatlnns of the United States
to the people of those states ln securlng
them in the enjoyment of a republican
form of government."
When Johnson assumed the reins of
government he was eager to hasten on
the work cf reconstruction which Lin
coln had begun. As Congress would not
meet until December, the Executive had
for eight months a fre hand. By mld
EinmiT he had appointed pnnislonal
Governors in all the rcma'nlng states of
the dlfturbpd fect'on, defining tbrir du
ties and powers much as Lincoln had de
'Jlnel those of Johnson himself on ap
pointing him Military Governor rf Ten
ressee. and before Congress assembled In
December s'ate governments hod been
erected un,dcr the Pre-ldenfs proclama
tion, and Senators and Rppresentatlves
from all the ntes lately in rebellion, ex
cept Texas and Florida, were ready to
demand scats in the Kat'onal Legislature.
The political powers and privileges in the
several statos wpre confined to those who
hould take the oath of amnesty, but the
number of loya! citizens wa swelled by
the granting of special pardons to many
"Who were excluded from a share in the
restoration offered by the general amnes
ty. The conditions Imposed by the Pres
ident for the recognition of the new state
government were ratification by the lirst
etate legislature of the 13th amend
ment, which made slavery forever Illegal
In the United States, nullification of the
secession ordinances, and repudiation of
'the war debt.
StatnH of Slavery and the Freetlmen.
The emancipation proclamation of 1S63
was a purely military act. It destroyed
slavery only within the districts con
trolled by the army, and did not affect
'It In the loyal states. Only as com
mander of the military Torces of the No
tion had the President any power over
the institutions of tho states, and that
power was strictly limited to the regions
where the army was actually in posses
sion. Some of tho slave states not af
fected by the proclamation soon com
menced a legal process or emancipation,
out not until tho adoption of the 13th
amendment was any legal standing given
to the f reedmen. Congress submitted the
amendment In February, 1SC5, for the
action of the state, and by December of
the same year it had received ratification
by 27 'states, 11 being slave states and
eight of them those recently in rebel
lion. Now, at last, slavery was dead, but in
dying it bequeathed a sinister legacy to
divide and embroil the estranged sections,
and to delay the restoration of brother
ly relations-vwhlch is, indeed, hardly yet
complete. A helpless horde of contra
bands and freedmen began early In the
war to embarrass the army and to gather
along the Confederate border. Private
charity under military protection did
much to relievo their more pressing
needs, and Northern philanthropy at once
cntereA upon the .task of educating and
civilizing thqm; but it was relt that they
had a rightful claim upon the Govern-
Andrcvr Johnson.
tnent whloh had given them freedom for
some permanent provision for their fu
ture. By the establishment, in March,
1S6S, of the Freedman'c Bureau under tho
"War Department, tho P"eaerat Govern
ment recognized its responsibility toward
tho dependent blacks. The bureau was
given control of all matters relating to
refugees and freedmen ana abandoned
lands from or within tho territory held
by the army. Tho act was to remain In
force for only one' year from tho close
of the war. As based solely upon the
war powers of the Government. It would
necessarily expire with tho return of
peace. So vague were the terms of the
"bill that, while It availed to relieve the
Immediate destitution of the negroes and
to Inaugurate some measures for settling
them upon abandoned or confiscated lands
In the South. It did nothing toward es
tablishing their rfghts before tho law
or determining their political standing.
The Southern States adopted constitu
tions prohibiting slavery and accepted
the 18th amendment. But, to the eyes
of the watchful Northern friends of the
emancipated slaves, the legislation which
immediately, followed in several of the
states seemed to impose inconvenient
and oppressive restrictions upon tho col
ored population which tended to keep
them In a degraded and practically en
slaved condition. Tho Southerners de
nied any Intention to do more than to
provide for the absolutely necessary re
straints upon a "laboring, landless, home-'
less class," wholly untrained in freedom.
They showed that the vagrancy laws,
which were Bitterly assailed as Intoler
ant and cruel, were coucaea in almost
exactly the same terms as those In force
In some of the Northern States, and were
certainly no more severe. But the tem
per of the Republican Congress was such
that suspicion of Southern purposes re
specting their former slaves -could not be
ellayed, and a radical policy of recon-J

Reconstruction Vievrs of Congresn.
The Thirty-ninth Congress assembled
December 4. 18G5, in no happy frame of
mind, and not disposed to accept the
President's comfortable assurance that
the country was pacified, the self-government
of the states re-established, and the
divisive subject of slavery on the point
of permanent elimination from National
questions. Nor were they prepared 'to re
spond promptly to his request that they
should permit the states whose powers
had been so long In abeyance to"resume
their places In the National Legislature,
"and thereby complete the work of res
toration." "Not only was Congress dissat
isfied with the acts of the new Southern
Legislatures, but with certain proclama
tions of the President also, which gave
to delegate conventions or legislatures in
the reorganized states power to prescribe
the qualifications of electors and office
holders. This was contradictory to a doc
trine held by the more radical mem
bers of the Republican party that the
enfranchisement of the negroes followed
necessarily upon emancipation. Assuming
that by secession a state destroyed all
Its Constitutional rights as a member of
the Union, they declared the whole mat
ter of the civil and political rights of
the Inhabitants of the rebelious states
to be in the hands of the Federal Gov
ernment, and that the Government was
bound to guarantee to the freedmen equal
rights with the whites. Tne seceding
states, having destroyed their statehood
by their own acts, were no longer states,
but territories, to be readmitted Into the
Union upon such terms as Congress might
choose to impose. Upon these issues the
legislative and executive departments of
the Government joined battle. The Pres
ident was irascible and violent. Congress
was suspicious and unyielding, and the
breach was continually widened.
Impeachment of the President.
Congress was determined to carry
through Its own policy of reconstruction.
and used its legislative power to prevent
the success of that which the President
had Inaugurated. Admission of members
from the reorganized states was delayed
while bill after bill was passed whose
purpose was to secure what the radicals
deemed the rights of the freedmen. These
bills were one after one returned with
the President's veto.
Excitement ran high over the elections
of 1SGG by which a new House of Repre
sentatives was to be chosen. The Issue
was that between the Executive and the
Legislature. The body of tne Republican
party rallied to the support of Congress,
while the Democrats and a faction of
the Republicans stood by the President,
though not a few who inclined to his
views of the Constitutional points in
volved In the quarrel were driven by his
ill-tempered and violent speeches into the
ranks of the radicals. The new House
was overwhelmingly Republican, and
Congress continued to pursue its own
way regardless of the President's wishes.
It passed over the veto the bills that
were deemed necessary to control the
conduct of the Southern State govern
ments. It also turned Its attention to
measures for restricting tne scope of
Presidential authority. Congress was to
meet henceforth on the 4th of March in
stead o'f in December, so that It could
constantly exercise restraint over tho
President. The President's power of re
moval from office was made subject to
tho approval of the Senate, and he was
practically deposed from his command of
the Army and Navy. The 14th amend
ment, designed to secure tne right ol
suffrage to the negroes, was passed and
ratified, though several states rejected It;
and in March, 1S67, the great reconstruc
tion bill was carried through, which di
vided the South into military districts un
der officers of the Army, and gave en
tire control of the condition of the South
ern States to Congress, wnlch body
pledged itself to admit to tho Union any
stato which, under prescribed 'conditions,
should form a stato government and rati
fy tho 14th amendment.
All this only. exasperated ana enraged
tho President, and his Irritation mani
fested itself in his conduct toward indi
viduals. JJe had taken a particular aver
sion to Secretary Stanton and asked fot
his resignation, which was refused. Then,
added to what had gone before, his re
peated efforts to remove the Secretary in
dqnance of law led the House to a reso
lution that the President should be lm
poachea ieforo tho Senate for high
crimes and misdemeanors. The trial was
begun in March, 1S6S, but after more
than two months it appeared that there
was not a two-thlrde majority for con
viction, and a verdict for acquittal was
rendered.
The Election of 1S0S.
In tho midst of the tension of public
feeling over the impeachment trial the
Republican convention met in Chicago.
The Congressional plan of reconstruction
was approved, and General Grant was
nominated for President. The Demo
cratic convention demanded immediate
and unconditional representation in Con
gress for all the states, with the power
of self-government, and the regulation

of suffrage by each state for itself. Ho
ratio Seymour, of New York, was tho
candidate. Grant received 214 electoral
votes, Seymour 80, but several of the
Southern States had not been readmitted
and were not allowed to vote. The di
vision 'between tho parties was drawn
by the question of reconstruction alone.
Professor Johnston says: "As the issue
between the parties was distinctly made,
the result of the election would seem to
settle tho rule that any state which for
mally casts off allegiance to the Federal
Government and is compelled to submit
must be readmitted by Congress in much
the .same manner as a territory applying
for admission as a state."

WASHINGTON. Ausr. 14. About he
most absurd proposition in National poll- 1
tics is .aianon .outier, aenator irom iNonn
Carolina. Butler was originally elected
to the Senate by a fusion of -Populist and
Republican' votes In North Carolina,
where an efforfhad-been made to. break
down the old Democratic regime and turn
the state over to the" Silverltes. In" that

more years to run. . senator Tf ten ara-was
originally a silver, man, anux voted and
acted with the silver men up-to thei-tirae J
of his .second .ejection, apd since,, tjiat, 1
time, iikq tne ncpuoijcaus i-rom' mo. sil
ver states, ho (stayed with the Republican
party and, voted arid noted with the party
on currency matters. As a matter of; fact,
Prltchard was not an out-and-out silver
man, but he was one of the many shifty
men of six years ago who .thought that
silver was the proper thing and believed
the Republican party was going to ba
committed to it.
Butler has been manipulated byi 'Petti
grew for a number cf years -past. He has
taken his cue from that erratic individ
ual, who was originally a strong Repub
lican, and was at one time as strong d
monopolist as ever existed, and who shift
ed to the silver cause when the silver sen
timent was uppermost in South, Dakota.
His vehement abuse of Republican prfn-
icples ever since has made him accopt
any old party that was against Repub
lican ideas. Butler, In following the lead
of PettigTcw, joined in the movement
which made Charlie Towne tho nominee
for Vice-President on tho Populist ticket.
He was also with the unanimous Populist
party which named Bryan for President.
During his career In tho Senate, Butler
has acted almost exclusively with tho
Democratic party. For a little whllo in
the beginning he was considered one of
the Independent men of tho Senate, and
treated as such by both parties. He took
his seat on the Republican side as evi
dence of the fact that he had leanings
toward Republican rather than Demo
cratic ideas. In the last few years, how
ever, he has changed his seat, and there
has scarcely been a vote recorded that
Butler has not voted with the Democracy.
His committee assignments have been
given him by Democrats, and he has been
a Democrat In everything but name for
at. least three or four years. More than
that, he has acted with the Bryan De
mocracy, and has been one' of the" most
persistent ndvocates of Bryanlsm. He
presided over tho PopuMst convention In
1S96, and stirred the nomination of Bryan
at that eventful time when many Popu
lists delegated from the Southern States
were very much opposed to the nomination
of a Democrat, because they Avartted to
fight the Democracy in those states.
Butler was made chairman of tho Pop?
ullst National Committee after a very
hard fight, and in four years he has
practically destroyed the Populist party
In the South, although aiding in its up
building In the East tHe has acted with
the Democrats and worked to the end
of amalgamating the forces of Populism
and Democracy en the Bryan lines. This
has been' outsido of his own stato. In
his own state the Democrats would not
amalgamate with Butler. The Democrats,
as shown by the recent election, hated
Butler and Populism worse than the Re
publicans have hated it In any state in
tho Union, and they took measures to re
pudiate It and down Butler in a manner
too well known. It is true that Democratic
principles were sacrificed, that consent
of the governed was not considered free
speech was denied and Butler was de
nounced and hooted at in nearly every
part of the state. Moro than that, It la
said that had the Democrats of." North
Carolina known when' Butler was going
to return to the state he would have; been f
met at the state line aru turned back.
Such is tne feeling tho 'Democrats of
North Carolina have for the man who is
a second time chairman of the Populiat
committee.
Butler Is supporting Bryan. He fs sup
porting a man whom the Populists claim
as theirs, although he himself claims to
be a Democrat. ' Bryan Is a good Ihlng
for tho Populists of Nebraska. 'By hl3
control over the remnant of the Demo
cratic party' that Is left he forces them
to sacrifice all the offices to the Popu
lists for the sake of getting the Populist
vote for himself.
The absurdity of Butler's position, how
ever, Is that as chairman of the Popu
list committee he has been denounced,
derided and defeated In his own state by
Democrats, and yet he is working that
Populist committee to elect a Democratic
candidate for President and Vice-President.
Butler must join tho class of
which Charlie Towne has become such an
.eminent member. He must look forward
with the hope that. In case Bryan should
be elected, he will be given a Cabinet po
sition or something else where he can
have an opportunity to draw a salary.
His career In North Carolina Is at an
end, but he will still hold a position as
chairman of the Populist party for four
years more. In that time It is probable
that there will turn up an amalgamation
of the Populists and the Bryan Democ
racy, or the Populists will become a,
thing of the past If Bryan should bo de
feated by any considerable number of
votes, the old Democracy would organize
on the Cleveland lines and the Bryan
Democracy would go ovor to Populism.
If Bryan should be elected or come any
where near being elected, or. hold the
vote which he had four years ago, the
probabilities are that Populism will be-

THE FILIPINO HOPE.
If Bryan la Defeated, the Rebellion
' "Will "Soon Crumble.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. A promi
nent physlclun front one of the Pacific
Coast towns, who for tho past six years
has been practicing In Manila, when in
Washington recently, took occasion to
drop a few opinions regarding the out
fook 'in" the 'Philippine Islands. "If Bryan
Is defeated at' the polls," he said, "the
Filipino rebellion will crumble away like
a house of cards. .It is only kept alive
by .the hope that the Democrats will be
successful in the November elections.
The Filipino people" are sick and tired of
fighting, and Agulnaldo would gladly quit
If he could, but his associates are holding
him offr in the hope of -getting terms
from tho Americans. It is money they
want, and they would sell, out the revolu
tion ju'st as 'they" sold out the previous
one-.to Spain. A-mlUlon dollars divided
among these leaders would bring peace in
it hours.fjand they have in some way got
the:' notion that the money would be
forthcoming in the event of Bryan's elec
tion. . --
'"Agulnaldo" Is a greatly overrated man.
Ho." is. "in fact; the cheapest kind of a
Tagal native, treacherous and dishonest,
as all Tagals are. It is'only a few years
1 ago that .he was ahpus.e servant He
was so unreliable that the police took his
I "credentials from him nnd he became a
fish monger. Tho priests taught him to
read and write, and this accomplishment
gave him standing as a great man among
his Ignorant associates. He Is naturally
brlght and crafty, and In the rebellion
agalnsc Spanish rule he soon became a
leader. The money he got for selling
out. his cause made him rich, and placed
him at the head of the present revolu
tionary, forces.
"The Filipinos are.no more capable of
self-government than the American In
dians are capable of conducting the Gov
ernment of the United States. v Tho
Tagals are the onjy tribe that make any
pretense at education, and only a very
small portion of them can read and write.
"In point of numbers they are one of
the weakest tribes in the Philippines, and
as they are hated by the other tribes,
there would be constant war should tho
Tagals attempt to govern the Islands.
The desire for self-government Is con
fined to a few unscrupulous leaders, who
would rob the country and then escape
to live in luxury In Paris or some other
European capital, while the powers or.
the Old World gobbled up the Islands.
No one familiar with the Philippines has
the faintest idea: that a Filipino govern
ment is even remotely possible."
