More Reconstruction

Does General Butler think it useful to himst;lf and helpful to hia farae and fuccc?s, to eüact in Congress the part of Mr. Beecher's celebrated dog Noble ? Ncble liad once seen a squirrel run into a bole, near a certain fence corner, and tberesfter, day after day, be returued and made himself ridiculous by barking at the samo oíd ho!o. The people have pleasod themselvee with tho buliuf that they wore very nearty done with reconstruction, and here, dow, comes Mr. Butler, and begius to bark vehemently at tbat game old holo. To-day be is to introduce a bilí to rereconstruct the state government of Tennessee ; and thus, beforo we are quite done with Georgia and Texas, wo are to begin onew at the other end of the line. We hope ibe Republicans will not support General Butler in this sóbeme. If Congress is to investígate election returns and proceedings, and to upset a state government, or turn out a governor and order a new election, at itspleasure, t will soon have its hands so full - no matter wbetber democrats or republicans havo the majority - that it can do nothing else ; and every state will fall a prey to political intrigues at Washington, just as the states of Mexico are the victima of schemers at tho Mexioan capita!. It ia bard to consider suoh a measure as that of General Butler with patience. It is, of course, of email account to say that it is unconstitutional ; nobody sup posea it to bo othenvise. Bul it raay be useful for Republicans to reraember that whatever credit they may gain to themselves from the eeonomical aud faithful admimstration of General Grant, from the improvemont of the credit, the steady decrease of the debt, the better collec tion of the revenue, thuy will lose all, and more too, if thcy allow restless uiembers of their party to keep open the reeonstruction question. The Termessee politicians, it is very wcll known, are not men of enough obaracter or principie, on either side, to be depended on. Stokes, or Senter, or Audrew Johnson - it makes very II tt Ie difference which of them rules tbe state, and when the queetion is of election frauds, we doubt if either side haa any right to complain of the other. On tho reijuisition of the Governor, ander the Constitution of the United States, tho President is bound to send truops to put down insurrection. The Governor of North Carolina haa just declarod Alamance county in a state of insurrection, and called upon tLe President to help bim keep the peace. That is luwful aud straightforward ; it will help to settle 60mething; but (rencral Butler's plan will only uosettlo
