Tlie trouble at UichwonJ, Va,, in Tennessee an J Georgia, and at i some other parts of the South, are giving the administration some un easiness. It hardlj know how to act. Oa one hand it is desirous of inaintainin;; the supremacy of civil lav in the reconstructed States,and ou the other it is urged to exercise military authori ty to suppress disorders and to, protect the peo . pie. One faetbu is working hard to pull the adromiatratiou and ConurefcS no its side, and an other in the opposite fdircctioa. Each swears like a troojier auiat the other. " If we would ieliere them there neVer was such a reign J of anarchy as exist iu ttoFouth.) Wejneed not be surprised, therefore, at the quandary ihc adtain ut ration is in. Uut the President is cool and cautions under the circumstances. lie is care fully studying the matter and taking the best adrice within his reach. lie will hear all that the carpet-br?rer, sca!luwas. fire-caters and negmphobists haTe M mj, and, then will act, we Jiave no dubf, for the beat s interests of the country aad iu inaiotaiuin the pnper author ities. - The chief difficulty 13 that there is too much reconstruction and too much military in the South. Fire years, or thereabouts, the agony of reconstruction has1 becu kept op for political purposes, when it milit hare been and ought to hare been ended in one year, or two years at farthest. In the effort of the dominant radical party to secure the negro Tote, and by that the Dahtiee of political piwer, military authority was maintained nruch lnrer than was necessary. The ruling fiction ha.- looked to that, consequent ly, for support -The' negroes, i under the inCu eoce of ambitions evil-minded carpet-baggers, 4iate Jbeen led to bvlirfve that the political power cf the South belonged tuthenrand was in their hands. This naturally placed ' many of them in aotaiToniani to the conservative-white ronIul 1011. A the State hre hect huh restored to the Union, and the white native j population have shown their power, the nezneand their carpet- bag leaders feel disappoiuti-d. I They forget that the white' jwpuljtion was much the largest, and that throughout the greater part of the Soulh this population had a m tjority of votes. . As km? as the States were unrCconM rutted and under military authority the radicals and their negro allies had their own way, to a great ex- tent; but as soon as ciril authority was restored the white Southerners began to take the control. This is the secret of the disturbances 'in Rich mond, of the clamor for reconstruction oyer again iu Georgia, and for the demand of the. radicals for military government over Tennessee.. The prolong, d military rule, over the South Las had the effect of making General Canby and other . commander mistake their duty. Though these gentlemen may be governed by the best motives, they are influenced by their military training and idea. They Cannot under stand that when a Su.te has been restored the ! civil law should be supreme. ) In the trouble at Richmond, for example. General Canby should have taken uoaitiou or have assumed no author ity bttt to suppress : insurrection when called upon by the civil power. In any dispute about the formality of an election or the right of parties to ledd office he should not have interfered, but have left that to the courts. An election to office is to be taken as a Loim jlie fact, though carried by fraud, till examined and acted upon by the proer civil authority, j 1 his id the way such thing are managed iu the Northern States, aud there is uo other safe way ! compatible with the laws aud civil liberty. ' r The same principle apjdics to Georgia and Tennessee, though Georgia, not being et fully 'reconstructed,! in rather au exceptional position. 'With regard to Tennessee, a State iu as perfect relations with the Luin as New York or Penn sylvania, it is prepvMcrom and dangerous to talk of reconstructing that State or of placing it tinder military authority, unless in the ense of positive insurrection. L If Teuuessee can be re constructed or placed; under military ruie, why not .New "York, Massachusetts, or any other , Northern State? AU the States are ou the same footiug. If this infamous practice were to be admitted no State would be safe. Any political party in power could destroy i's political equality aud rights aud there would be an end to civil liberty. This government would be the , most perfect centralized despotism. No, better 1 let the factions in the South fight it out among themselves; better let two races try their strength even by ouie blotid-shed, than establish a des potism cither under tht military or a political oligarchy. The negroes of the South have ac " quired all the political rights aud privileges of the white. They ought to be contented. It is 'absurd to suppose that eight or ten mil! ions of the 8uperinr white race are tu be the political a laves of or to be controlled ' by l hi ee or four millions of aemi-barburians, who hardly know their right handt Iroui their leit. In any con teat the negroes must go to the wall. Hi is is seen in the troubles at Richmond and elsewhere. It is positively cruel iu the heartless carpet ba;r politicians to lead these poor eople to destruc tion. We hope Genet al Graut will exercise his gnud common sense in these Southern troubL-s. and above all, will maintain the supremacy of the civil Ltws. English Life Assurance.

Interested as tho people of Wilmington are in all that concerns the progress of the Wilmington. Charlotte & Kutherford Railroad, they naturally watch .with jealons care and anxiety everything, connected with the welfare of . that road. We published on yesterday -a statement from the Charlotte Democrat that the Public Treasurer had been enjoined agninst delivering to the President of the Wilmington, Charlotte & Ruther ford Railroad the five hundred thousand dollars of First' Mortgage Honds which were authorized to be surrendered to the Company by late act of the Legislature to enable that Company to prose cute its work and complete the road. ; . j The condition of these JJonds. as we under stand them, is as follows : By act of the Legis lature, ratiSsd December:20th, 18C6, this Com pany was permitted to issue four j millions of dollars of First Mortgage Bonds.-the State ac. cepting a second mortgage for the j Company's indebtedness. Under the authority; of this acti and as subsequently amended by ; the Conven tion of ?86S, two million five hundred thousand dollars of these bonds were issued, j The State retained, fur it oven itctirt'fy. five hundred thou sand dollars of them, in case the Company should fail to pay tbjO interest upon tho which were sold. The holders of the bonds never looked to the State for the payment of this interest, and in view'of the fact that North Carolina has not paid one dollar of its own interest since the war, it could hardly have been expected that it would he likely to pay interest for the (Wilmington Charlotte & Rutherford 'Railroad, had the Company- defaulted.

It surely cannot be a citizen of Charlotte, as we might be led to think from the source from ! whence the information reaches 11s. . No true North Caro linian can net in such hostility to the best inter cut! of -he State, j I j -: We would blame I no holder of t hese bonds to protect himself against loss, but nope of them can Imiiostly say that they lock to North- Caro lina forj security against the failure ,of the Com pany tnj p-iy it interest promptly, j The interest ha .lwas been met j and the Company cannot afford to fail iudointrso. The Cist failure would be immediately followed by a foreclosure of the mortgage and the sale of the road, j l'here is no chance jthtn cf possible loss to the bpndhohjers or to the State. ' " !
