' Mr. StanbaryV Opinion.
' Mr, Stanbery cuts ihe heart, out of the
itArir li ML If he is risrht then Uonsrress is
criuiiuall v wron'r. A measure whicli was care-
fdllv ami anxiously devised by more than two
thmla of the Senate aiid tlic HouVe, arid not
only adopted, but av fiecoud time considered
and passed over an able , and ingenious veto
mesase, proves to bo fa delusion and a snare,
and absolutely worthless as a measure, of re
construction. If Ir. jSlanbery is riht then
. We can no more reconstruct the South under
this bill thus we couU under the tax levy of
i our Common Councill or Mr. Swinburne's last
poem. The Senate Was wrong, the House did
ol know wliat it was' doing.-. Mr. Johnson's
1 veto message was written in ignorance of the
i law, and our (jeneialsf bave entiicly miscoh-
8truca oneoi tne plainest ana niosc. empnauc
bills of Congress! Everybody has erretl but
i Mr. Stanbery ! Thatiodiccr may be a subtle
logician and well learned in the -law, but wc
do not believe either his logic or his facts.
.'Let us see what the Military bill provided.
It was intended to undo all that the President
had douc. It proclaimed tint his policv wasa
, mistake that the "States ' which he organized
1 were not States. ' Suffrage was bestowed npon
liebcls and denied to a class which had been
loyal during the war. The Rebel returned
to the Union with more power than they ''had
ever possessed, because they voted not only
their own strength, but the strength of the dis
franchised but enumerated ucgroes, man for
man. As apart of hik plan the President de
"" tuaridod thaTthe 'wTutc mlnorliy 7rSoutHXar-
( olina should vote her black and white popula
tion against the. white jmajoritv of Connecticut.
.No guarantee' was asked from th conquered!
bouth. Rebellion was jrewarded by an enlarge
ment. of the political rijjjhtjj of the Rebels at the
expenseof the Uniou men. This the Presi
' dorit insisted lipon, ancj in d 'fianceof the will
' r pf, Congress this he did., . He admitted no'com-
ITroniise. He would tot yield a point to the
oudly -expressed will of the country. The na
tion sought in vain tof find a middle ground
upon which to meet the Prcsideut. It conldl
only meet hint by dishonorably sunendering
fruflrnge to the black uian. After waiting, and
hoping, and doing all that could be done to
make a bill that would satisfy the' President
nnd the country, Congress, toward the end of!
the session, passed thq Reconstruction bill.
That expressly provided that iiol?gal Govern
ments existed in the "Rebel Stale," and made
them subject lo "the military authority of the
United States." It give the generals com
manding absolute poyer, aid declared that
"all interference uudei color of State anthority
with the exercise of military authority" should
be "null aud void." 1 directed that all men
should be permitted to vote, withbut regard to
lce, color, or previous condition," except such
as were disfranchised for felony or rebeilion.
; Tbc manner of registration -was provided in
; a supplemental act. 1 The money was appro
priated to carry, it outjmd Congicss adjourned.
- It was undert"od at! adjournment that the
l'residoot would execute the bill in its letter
and spirit. -The country believed him, and we
had a period of rest such as we had not known
since the war. We regarded the South as
partially reconstincted; and addressed ourselves
to other questions. Impeachment died away,
and a Sumuicl: session of Congress wasaban
iloncd. ' - I 1 ,
Congress expresslj calls these ccirainonwealtlisj
'Rebel States." oianoerj tas mc;
be molested Congress ordains j tnai tnese
communities most not be allowed' to jntcrtere
with ihc military authority. Stanbery con
tends that the generals cannot interfere with
the communities unless they get up a riot, in
which case tho riot may be quelled I Weil,
6cn. Grant issued an order July 6. 18G6, di
recting commanders in the South to arrest all
Rebels charged with offences against inhabi
tants of the United States, irrespective of col
or, and hold them until a "proper tribunal
' m . it a1 a.
could try them. ' btaubcry virtually ray mat
f;i;tw Mil rprmiiu this order, which was
a dead letter so lar as Mayor Monroe and
manv ether criminals were . concerned. Uo
vouct kecmn the" peacei these commanders
have no power i "Hie regniar siap omciais,
says Mr. Stanbery, "duly elected and qnalificd,
are entitled to bold their offices, j1 JVy, 1",
have rights which the military commander t$
hound Vi jrotcctt not. authorized o destroy .V
Mayor Monroe may organize his police thugs,
Gen. Sheridan is bonnd to protect them !
Judge Abell may throw his erni'ne over as
sassins and call upon the Grand Jnry to indict
innocent and persecuted men.- Gen. Sheridan
i bound to protect him. All the resources of
the States are committed to Rebels all the
patronage of these communities is given to men
who hwg to oppress the Hack, and restore
their own power. The money, the influence,
the taxes of the South are at once returned to
enemies of the Republic, and the 'generals in
command arc of no more use tbarrjif they were
holdinif dress-paradeson Governor's Island. .
Suppose these "civil officers'1 wish; to impede
reconstruction! Who shall say nay. Suppose
Virginia passes another "vagrant law like
the one which Terry over ruled before be was
sent to the mountains.' Where is the power to
annul it ? Suppose the Legislature of Louisi
ana makes certain tests of suffrage, or laws
based on the difference of races., j What pow-j
cr can undo the wrong? We might continue,
so fruitful- are the illustrations, 1 to show a
thousand cases in which the irresponsibility of
the "civil" and the helplessness of the military
power will make the operations ot the Mihta
ry bill impossible. If President Johnson acts
upon tUe advice cf his counselor, the work of
Reconstruction stops. ; j ,
Above all ami here we approach the crime
of the opinion this is not ;the construction
intended bv Congress, and accepted by the
Administration and the country. In this re:
p'ect the Attorney-General is dishonest. He is
a partizan endeavoring to prepare the counj
try for a great wrong. We are! afraid wq
cannot trnt'ttie President. He seems to have
the fatal ''facility of blundering,) of getting
himself and his friends into trouble, of bringj
.n peril tqjhe country. Nothing seems to
annoy him so much as peace. I We believe hq
means if he dares to strike a blow at the Re4
construction policy ol Uongrcss, anu bring up
from the pit ot 8in and iniquity the shameless
"policy" by which he sought to deprive a race
of its uearlv-carned rights. ! we luia-t show

A Swarm of Becs'on a llaxi's Face.
A correspondent of the London Field gtTw
the following interesting' narrative: -
In June 1874, Mr. Siaamonds,; a farmer
residing at Urookland Farm, .Wcjbridge, was
dressing in order to attend the rent "audit at
Woburn Home. Before putting on his coat,
he perceived from his window an " unusually
largo swarm of bees, filling the air with a cloud
and noise, 'It was, in fact, at bo afterward
ascertained, two swarms that had coma out of
two distinct hives, and had united in the air.
lie ran out in his shirt sleeves, and without
hb hat, to sco where tliev would alight The
becs, a ft ci making aorae circles in the air, led
hira oflto the bank of the river Wev: . Thin-
fking that the bees liight cross the river, and
perhaps escape, he adopted a plan" not uncom
mon witn Pee masters, viz : that ot thtowini;
dast into the air among the bees This will of
ten make them, settle quickly. They did settle
quicUy, and this more so than he expected,
for iu a short time the whole of one of the lar
gest swarms that he had ever seen, settled
upon his head, face and brcat. They hung
down like a great beard to the bottom of his
wai-stcott.' Had ho not been well accustomed
to becs nd perfectly collected, his situation
would have been a Very dangerous one; for,
had he t all irritated this mass of armed in
sects, he would no doubt have received a suffi
cient nuitber of stings to have placed his life
in peril. 1 He was obliged to close his ejes
slowly, and to keep his mouth shut Then,
in order to prevent their entering his no3 trite
which thcr endeavored to do, he tlowly thrut
one hand through the mass, and with his two
fore-fiugen managed to keep drawing and
pushing tbrni away from his nostrils as they
tried to enter. This was necessary, an bees
are generallj irritated by beiug breathed up
on.
He then lgan to consider what course he
should take. He was some distance from his
house, and no one near him, or within call.
His first thought was to walk blowly.into the
river Wet, and ccntly ink his heal under the
water andihus throw ou the swarm. Rat
a few patches of bees, which, in wilking away,
Mr., Sim monds easily disengaged from his
dress with bis hand, and made them join their
companions. Mr. Sjmmbni thus escaped from
not only a very disjjreeab!et; but a perilous
situation. I It occupied two boars from the
time the bees alighted on their master to the
time of his release. ,

Longstrect Becoming a Target.
nn a a
1 lie virus ot rebellion and secession seems
still to exist in its most intolerant form with a
large portion of the Southern prets. For short
intervals it appears to be lulled into quietness,
but as soon as some event occurs calculated
to strengthen the Union cause, and still furth
cr dwarf the spirit of rebellion, this terrible
malady so deeply rooted puts on new fife and
oounas into me political arena wun iresn vig
or. Ihe blows that have all along been aim
ed with such unrelenting fierceness at almost
every prominent republican appears tcmpor
arially suspended from the fact that a new ob
ject of denunciation and attack has unexpect
edly appeared in another "direction. No soon
er does tho laiuou? rebel General Loxosteet,
send forth a timely and most patriotic letter
well calculated to sway public opinion and
stay the tnry of tho political elements, than
the rebel batteries : are turned upon bun.
threatening him with total annihilation.
In the tempest that he has aqddenly rous
ed, all remembrance of his heroic actions in
behalf of "the lost cause seems to sink out
of sight. His inilitajy exploits, so lor g the
subject of unrestrained eulogy and panagync,
are now forgotten, and "tho old War Horse of
the Confederacy" is now cooly pronounced or
"never noted for originality or skill in strat
egetic movements. A radical change has all
at once "come over the spirit of the dream' of
many of his former enthusiastic admirers aud
few among them are now found "o, poor; to
do hin, reverance.'' And what does . all this
mean?. Why this change from friendship 'to
bitter hostility? The cane is no lcs3 pal pa
ble than it is deplorable and lamentable. It
demonstrates conclusively, that a spirit of un
compromising intolerance still exists and
reigns with those who assume to control and
guide the political elements. The moment an
honest and brave man is prompted by dism
terested and purely patriotic motives to come
before the country with sound advice and ad
monitions upon the present state of political
affairs be is mado the subject of unmeasured
denunciation. All the influence he may have
had, is vainly attompted to be . destroyed.
This evil and short sighted policy cannot : al
ways prevaiui The rising spirit ot free, in
quiry aud the sweeping current of a healthy
progress will yet stimulate and nerve many
more true Southern men to take an open and
bold stand in favor of republican principles
and measures. ncbern Jleubitcan, . I --
moment s consideration dissuaded hira from
that attempted remedy. He could not have
disengaged them all, for many were between
ins nctK cioln and tlie skin, and stilt more
were crawling down his back.. Ho fonuu that:
if he walked he could not help disturbiug the
hanging mase, and that every agitation, how
ever slight, caused a hum and his from some
thousands, lie then remembered the account
given in Thorley'aCvrork on. becs of a swarm
settling on the face and.nck of a servant
maid, who escaped unhurt by tho care and
ad rice of bcr master j be, without irritating
the swarm, having hived it off from her with
a hive well smeared with ' honey. . To avoid
agitating tho swarm, "Mr. Simmonds' slowly
knelt down on the grass and remained perfect
ly still. He then found a number of bees
were gathering in a mass under the waistband
of his trowsers, in the hollow of his .back, to
which spot the others were drawing, indica-i
ting that the queen was .there. Fearing,
therefore, that the tightness oi the waistband
T-rcudered tighter whenever he breathed
might crush, or at any rate irritate this part
of the swarm, he slowly unbuttoned tho front
of his trowscrs.
It is not easy to conceive a more hvlplesx
condition than that to which Mr. Simmond
was now reduced. Ho that was the master
of forty hives, from which he could usually
levy what spoils he pleased, killing las tlnu-
ands at his pleasure with a brimstone match,
was now completely in the power of one de
tachment of his own army, and was reduced
to the most suppliant position. Even) to call
for help would have been dangerous, as the
bees near Ins mouth would have been undoubt
edly irritated, and would have brobably enter
ed his mouth. At this moment he beard a
train on the Chertscy ' Branch Railway, from

This enrrme driver seeing Mr. fcimmonds
on his knees, with one arm extended as if for
help and something odd hanging from his face
sounded his whistle, lhis was heard by Mr.
bimtaond& wile, who, supposing that soue
cow was sick; Mint her son and a farming man
out into the fields. They toon found Mr.
Siminonds ih the predicament above described.
In addition to the hanging mass, there, was
cloud of bees till flying arouud him, so that
to approach him was not the roost agreeable
office. However, they came near enough to
hear him speak, which he did very gently
merely saying : "Rring a bruhel hive, well

While they were gone at tho ton of their
speed for those, he remained perfectly s till.
The tickling of the bees feet on his face was
almost nubcarablc, and the danger and of ir
ritating those that were down his back and
neck was imminent.- . i
The mo3t difficult part ho bad to perform
however, was that before mentioned, of dissua
ding the bees, with the aid of bis two fore-fin-
irers. from getting np his nostrils. These bees
were not in a good bumor, as they were breath
ed upon, and were also deterred from doing
as they pleased, and one bee showed hia. dis
pleasure by stinging Mr. Simmonds at the folk
ol hia two fore nngers. This was not pleas
ant ot itself; but it was a tenons occurrence,
and it might be the prelude to a mure exten
sive attack. He avoided making any start
when! ho was stung, I and continued to .'posh
away as gently a possible those that were
near his nobtrils.:' This was the only safe place
to breathe from, as it was necessary to . keep
his mouth perfectly closed. .Of course, the few
