Military Grrerameat In the Bwta. W publish to-day the very important opinion of the Attorney General of the United States upon tbe powers of the Mili tary Commandants in the South, under the reconstruction acts of Congress, as well as a supplementary opinion as to who are en titled to register and vote. Unlike his for mer opinion, Mr. Staxbzbt, in this docu raent is clear, concise &tud fall, ana Lutes nothing in doubt, either as to the powers and dntiA fif tha f!nmma.nrier or tri richts and privileges of the citizen. - - Weeoppose this official paper from the Attuiey General will fee entitled to the same cosideration as the law itself, and if . nnt ihnt tnA itphiiiatii. wnoBe ouicuu oaui imposes upon him to see that all " the laws t . iit. , i.i it L;ti . , ,,, , .1 ' erJn-Chief of the army, issue an order forthwith to compel the Southern District Commanders to conform their actions in accordance with this official construction of theit powers. The Military Commanders are the appointees' of fhe President and responsible to him for die manner in which they perform their labors, and as well as a duty, it should be a pleasure for them, in the trying and often difficult performance of their obligations, to conform their offi cial conduct in accordance with this author ized interpretation of the law, by the high est legal officer of the Government. The acts of the Military Commanders in removing from and , appointing to office, under the civil governiaent, and in enact ing and repealing laws by military orders, are declared in the moss positive terms as I I n CMAe! WVSt UUUV VA4W t lJ ava VMMM null and void.-' We shall endeavor to-mor row to give such a summary of this opin ion under appropriate heads, as to explain it fully to such as may have doubts, or those who have not the ' time or the incli nation "to follow carefully the sucoeessive - and denendent stens of a protracted local V ' I opinion," j This is by far the mast important docu 1 ment which has yet been issued in expla read with interest by every one who sin cerely wishes to see the work of reconstruc tion go on peacefully and in accordance with the demands of ; justice. ..

Presjfdent John bos, fortified by a clear consciice and armed with right and justice, may well de fy their throats and brave their malice. If, in the discharge of his sworn duty, he falls by the strong arm. of power, with his administration , thus violently closed, ex pires the last hope of a constitutional gov ernment, unless the people rise in a storm of popular indignation and check the in evitable tendency of partizan aggressions which seem about to sweep away every barrier, however sacred, to complete and inal success. - j . An Inperfeetljr Reconstracted Judge at Tarora; if , C. It is reported that Judge Barnes, now holding special court at Tarboro, adjourned the court be cause negroes were summoned as jurors, he hav ing taken the oath to support the State laws, wiucn ao not recognize negroes to sit on Junes. The above is a telegram from this State ' to the Associated Press. ' While the action above reported, were it true, would have been most commendable and proper in Judge Baekes, and weighed by the opinion of the Attorney General, is what should have been done had negroes been summon ed as jurors, it is, in fact, tne very oppo site of what actually occurred. Had the . telegraph agent reported the action of Judge Bakstcs correctly, instead , of the above heading, the New York Herald, from which 'we get the above news, would have mode it M A Perfectly Bjecokstbtjctkd Judge;' for fhe Judge in question actually ad journed Court and continued the case be cause negroes naa not been summoned as jurors. Not wishing to violate even the spirit of Gen, Sickles' order, he severely reflected by his action upon the magistrates of the county for not having conformed their jury lists in accordance with . what is , now pronounced an illegal order. - Judge Babies should have tried the criminals with such3urors as the County Court, acting under the laws of North Car olina, had provided bam with, and left to others an interference with the course of Justice. . Certainly al judge acting under an oath to well and truly serve the State of North Carolina in the discharge of hisoffi - cial duty and to esiorco the law, orders contrary to law from any person in author ity notwithstanding, would not try prison- ers; charged with a heinous crime before a jury constituted at variance with the laws of the State. If such were the case, we might well say, in the language of theAt- ; torney General, i " A strange spectacle where the judge and the criminal may very well change places,' for if the criminal has unlawfully taken life, so too doos the Judge." . ' ; ' .f But we have referred to this matter with no view to comment upon Judge Baksxs' - action, But to defend him from the charge of being, "imperfectly .reconstructed," Agents of the Associated Press should learn from this important error that they cannot i,, be too particular ia the discharge of their duties. .Grievous mischief may be occa sioned by hasty and incorrect; reports cf the act; patches era f re ef c-r ti is, for th-.lr 11 . f It. .

' ;; " ; J Wabuinotos, June 16,--Official copies of the late orders of General Sheridan in rela tion to Lonisiana afDurs have been filed in the War Department. Orders 59 and 2 are curiosities, and for heterogeneousnesa are probably without a parallel in military literature. The first order directs an in spection of ammunition and ordnance stores at Forts Jackson and St. Philip, appoints cadets in military service, details a messen- f;er at headquarters, tuspends Action of the evee; commissioners, removes Governor Wells, and appoints Mr. Durant, gives the results of inspection of streets and alleys in New Orleans, and removes the tttreet com missioner and appoints another, and directs the mayor to compel people to keep their yards and premises in a cleanly condition. The next order gives leave of absence to an omcer : notices tne declinatioa of Mr. Durant and appointment of Mr. Flanders as uovernor, and appoints a board to ex amine tbe applicant for the position of sec ond lieutenant I . ! Bach is the dashing, mixed manner in which the all-powerful commander dispen-, ses law and rules tbe districts of great States of the Union. Evidently, General Sheridan feels, as he says in his telegram I to General Grant, fully equal to tlia new task," and expects "to get through with it creditably to the military. j inquiries are made concerning the ! issue of passports to persons who have declared their intention to become citizens of tbe United States, but, who have not taken ont their final uaners. The Secretary of State says that the law in regard to passports ex pressly prohibits their being granted to any citizens. Persons of foreign I birth who have merely declared their intention are not citizens .in contemplation of the law, and therefore they cannot obtain pass ports. Tne rrosicient nas appointed James iiut- trell receiver of public moneys and Kicho- las H. O wings register of the land office at Fair Plav. Colorado Territory. . t j Persons desiring to be of the presidential j party on the trip to Boston are resorting to humiliating processes to have themselves invited and get their names announced as guests of Mr. Johnson. The same charac ter of tricks were practiced on the occasion of the trip to Chicago last year, and failing to succeed in obtaining an invitation, the parties thrust themselves into the company at various points along the route. On the trip to Boston steps will be taken to keep these intruders out of the way. The Pres ident's company proper will consist of but six or eight persons, all told, including one or two of his staff, and probably as many members of the Cabinet. Data. ; From the National Intelligencer. : . TUe Power of Military Governor.. While the whole country, and especially the bayonet-driven and satrap-trodden peo ple of the South, are looking with mourn ful and anxious interest for some instruc tions from the authorities at Washington in regard to the powers and duties of the mil itary commandants and their subordinates in reference to reconstruction, the military officers who have been sent there to execute the law are, from the force of oircumstances, impelled to interpret its provisions, each one only according to his own unaided judgment or caprice. An impending and gathering storm of popular' indignation among the loyal masses at the North is meanwhile maturing on accountTof the patent outrages permitted or perpetrated by some of these district commanders in the absence of positive and unequivocal in structions in the premises. There is no question that this authoritative interpreta tion of the law should be promulgated with out delay, and in such shape that no mili tary officer on duty in the South will dare to treat it with contempt or indifference, as has in some instances been done with the recently pubhshed opinion of the At torney General, upon the ground that it is simply an opinion of the legal adviser of the Executiser-andnot a bindincr order upon the ubordinate3 of the constitutional Commande&in-Lhiei of the army and navy of the United States. ' f It is true that the preparation of such orders requires time, but it should be re membered that they are of a paramount importance to any other pending public business, and involve directly the highest a 1 A. J X A. I 1 . ana pest ana most extensive interests oi ail parts of the country. To the unsettled condition of affairs in the South may be attributed in great part, indeed for the moBt part, the fearful gloom that is set tling into deepest darkness upon the com merce and industry of the North and West rrt i . ji . xne peopie want tne worst, xnev are waiting anxiously, trembling to know what is to be expected. - They have a right to be informed without necessary delay what are the powers of the military satraps in the South, and how far they will be permitted by tne government to proceed in the pro gramme which appears to have been mark ed out, at least, by some of those who are exercising plenary authority in the South em States. t xn tne meantime, tnese crenuemen are left to pursue their own course, to interpret tne law eacn one for nimself, and to exe cute it only in accordance with his own will, judgment, prejudices, or caprices, or whatever influences maybe brought to bear to guide his action. There are some points, however, in which a few of these autocrats have, in our opinion, manif estlv exceeded not only the letter, but the spirit of the law so manifestly that their conduct is utterly indefensible and inexcusable. For instance, however, it may be mooted whether the reconstruction laws confer upon them the power to suspend or re move from office any civil officer under any pretext whatever ; it cannot for a mo ment be contended or even preten ded that there is in any part or passage of the recontruction statutes a sin gle paragraph, line, or eylable conferring upon them the authority to appoint any ci vil officer. In making such appointments they have clearly and unquestionably tran scended any power conferred upon them, and have done so at their periL Even if it were conceded, for argument's soke, that they are clothed with authority in any case or under any circumstances to suspend or remove, it cannot be shown 'that they have any power to appoint. Although it may be claimed that they have the right under the statute to nullify or destroy a State govern ment, no allegation can be sustained to the effect that they are authorized to create or build up a civil government in any State or Territory. This is the peculiar and in alienable right of the people themselves ; it is exclusively a popular function a pop ular right, of which neither the Executive nor Congress can ever divest the people. Galveston, Texas, it is estimated by the authorities of that city, now has a popula tion of 22,500, an increase since 1860 of about 13,500. Of the present population, 17,500 are whites and 5,000 colored, j . Hon.

The hopeful reports of tLe cr 3 every where in this country, wb: h L .e bc:a echoed throogh the jress i arinj monti, contimue mott decidedly encourag ing, and ; as the fact of an abundant har vest is gradually ' developiog itself beyond conjecture, trade and business is commen cing to feel the impulse. From the South the indications of a bountiful harvest are better than have ever been for wheat, corn, cotton and tobacco, and from the "Western, Uiddle and Northern Btates tne same is stated of wheat, corn and fruits. From the grain-growing sections of Maryland and Virgiani we have reports of a ripening wheat harvest now nearly ready for the reaper, which is free from rust and f nil in the grain. The Virginia papers speak en couragingly of the tobacco crop, and tne indication of brinkneas in the tobacco mar ket of that State are not wanting. ; In New York, also, onr exchanges mention that the first consignment of new wheat from, the South has reached that city, and add that the Southern millers have made such con tract for the new wheat that they will be able to sell handsome family flour in New York for1 13 a barrel. The price of flour must tend downward under these circum stances, j and if the present hopefulness is realized,! liviner. in onemo&t important re spect, at least, will get cheaper, while trade must become brisker, for, with abundant crops every producer will have something to sell, and from the proceeds will pur chase, on the other hand, of those things which he needs. . Old scores will also be settled, and a general feeling of ease be more or less felt. Baltimore Sun. Executive Action Under the Opinion of the i Attorney General. We have satisfactory authority for saying that there is no foundation for tne Indus tnous representations multiplied ail over the country to the effect that because the Preisdout Las been officially advised, and having with bis Cabinet approved the ad vice, of the invalidity of the removals and appointments of civil oflicers by the usurp ing commandants at tne boutli, lie is, therefore, about to rusu precipitately to a complete nullification of all that has been done ; by these generals, with out discrimination and irrespective of expediency. These statements are al together groundless, and calculated to ex cite and inname in advance tne disaupro batioh of all who think they realize that some progress, however little, has been made toward a restoration of tho South, and who would regret to see this progres sire movement thrust back to its starting point. I Even in such flagrant examples of usurpation as thoso of Sheridan in tho cases of the Governor and Judges at New Urleans, now mat tne wrong is to be re dressetl not avenged, the question is viewed as one of rational expediency, to be gov erned by tne circumstances, as they are now, and not as they .were when the oat rage was committed. We learn that in vestigations are to be made, reports are to be had, and the whole matter deliberated upon as a practical question in every one of these cases of infraction of the laws of Congress and the principles of the Consti tution. In a word,' the President will act efficiently, but he will act remedially, not vindictively. ISaU Intelligencer. i " " ', ' '' l'"- '" " 11 " " : . Death of Col. Theodore O'Uara. The; death of Col. Theodore O'llara, of Kentucky, took placo on Friday afternoon last m JJarbour county, Alabama where, since the close of the war, he bad been re siding, engaged in the cotton business with a relative, until a short time since he re moved to the country to devote himself to farming operations. He was widely and favorably known throughout the whole country both as a sol dier and a man of letters. He was an offi cer of the old army, and served with great gallantry and distinction in the war with Mexico. He gave the aid of his sword to General Lopez iu the ineffectual effort to republicanize Cuba, and was for a time as sociated with Gen. Walker in the Nicaragua expedition. At the commencement of the rebellion he joined the Southern army, and served first upon the staff of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, and afterward upon that of General Jiragg. The hrst named General i he received in his arms after the fatal wound which terminated in his life at the battle of Shiloh. During the absence of the Hon. John For syth, las Minister to Mexico, CoL O Hara conducted the Mobile liegister, as editor-in- chief; with great brilliancy and success. He wrote " The Burial of our Dead " on the occasion of the reinterment of the remains of the members of the Kentucky regiment who fell in Mexico. This piece has recently had the sinerular compliment paid it of having selected from it, as an inscription for a monument re cently erected in Boston to the Union dead, the following lines ; On Fames's eternal Camping ground ! Their silent tents are spread, And memory guards with solemn round The bivonai of the dead." v i Columbus (Ga.) Stm, 9th. ' ! Demoeratlc Lawren. . The-State Convention which recently as sembiedat Hanisburg waa largely compo - sea oi lawyers, and . presented an array of talent of a remarkably high order. It is a noticable fact that a very large proportion Of the ablest lawyers of the country ara members- of the Democratic party, j Nor is it strange that such should be the ease. Trained as lawyers are to a reverence for ..... law ana a respect ior established princi ples of government, they are less likely to be carried away by sndden gusts of politi cal excitement man any other class of the community. " Within the last ten years the Democratic party has received accessions to its ranks from the best lawyers of the country. iney nave cast in their lot with it, because they could not approve of the principles advocated by its opponents. Even in the strongest Republican counties of Pennsyl vania the Democratic side of the bar is al ways distinguished for its ability. They are Democratic from principle, and they aonere nrmiy to the party because it ad heres to those great truths upon which such a government as ours must depend for its perpetuality. There is no nobler or abler body of men than the Democratic lawyers of the country, and Pennsylvania nas a iuii snare of them. The Psitara Capital of the United States. St, Louis, with a present population of a)0,000, and the prospect of reaching five times tnat number by the close of the pre sent century, aspires to be the capital of the United States. But she may find her self distanced in the race by some unknown (at present) little place, hundreds of miles further west for example Junction City, Omaha City, or some other almost unheard of village on the great Western plains. It takes . away one's breath to read how the States are pushing out their population westward, and how all kinds of improve ments are working their way across the plains towards our Pacific empire. Think of a railroad being laid on that route at the rate of almost two miles a day for thirty days in succession, or fifty miles of road in thirty days ! There is a story told of a race between these Pacific Eailroad track layers and an emsratinsr party in teams, in which the track layers beat, at the end of some cays tmL Uoston urateuer.
