THE NEW YORK PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF LEADING JOURNALS UI'ON CURRENT TOPIC?. COMPILED ITIBT DAT FOR EVENING TELKORAPH. ' Can We Bear Mo e Debt? From the Tribune. The Secretary of the Treasury has addressed a note fo the lion. David A. Wells, Chairman of the United 8lae8 Revenue Commission, express ing tho Opinion that the bill lor the equalization of bounties will require an expenditure of from $200,000,000 to $2.10,000,000, on which the annual interest will amount from $15,000,000 to $18,000,000. He requests Mr. Wells' opinion of the effect this Increase of the public debt is likely to have on the finances and development of the country. Tho reply to this question deserves attentive cou mdcration. Mr. Wells, whose intimate know ledge of tbe subject will not be questioned, remarks (bat in the critical period of its finan cial experience through which the country Is now pasHine, the essential condition of future prosperity lo to borrow no more money, and to meet all expenditures by taxatiou exclu sively. During tho first three quarters of the current fiscal year the amount of revenue trom direct aud Indirect taxation has been $410,0()i,00, bring at the rate of $540,000,000 per annum. This immense sum has been taken mainly irom the industry of the country, and it can neither be accep'.ed as a nafo indication of the prosperitv of the country, nor relied upon as a measure of future returns. It is considered certain that the falling olf for next vear will bo larsre. Yet the exemption from taxation at prccnt of any forms of capital, or any process or result of industry, is the ex ception rather than the rule; and iho increase ot prices, and decrease of production conse quent upon it, show that a reduction of taxa tion, or a change in the method of it, has bo come imperative. Yet circumstances will not permit this reduction to be immediate, nor is it poswiblo, under existing laws, to derive from spirits tobacco, liquors, etc., that proportion ol the revenue which they ought to be mado to yield. New laws must be enacted, and experi ence in admluistering them acquired. In older, thei efore.to raise the amount neci ssary to pay the $15,000,000 ot interest called lor by this measure for equalizing bounties, the prevent rate ot taxation must be maintained upon a long list ot articles least able to bear it without general injury, among which are all sorts of wearing apparel, salt, soap, paper of ali descriptions, books, and all printed matter, agricultural im plements, lime, stone, stoves, and window glass, all articles which it is tor the interest of tho community should be relieved from taxation and produced as cheaply as possible. "If, however," says Mr. Wells, 'ir is urged that the Government can all'ord to relieve all tho above enumerated articles, and many others, Irom taxation, and still pay the interest on the proposed aduition to the debt, I reply thut the condition of the revenue will not at present allow ot an exemption of all the necessities of lite, and all the conmoii forms of industry, from taxation; and that no principle of political economy is better established than that a tat upon one of the necessities or indispensable forms of industry is, in fact, a tax upon all. Under the above circumstances, therefore, it would seem as if notbincr but the salvation ot the nation it.-elt could warrant any immediate in crease ol the national liabilities or the people's taxes." It remains for tbe advocates oi this erigantic bounty scheme tj reply, if they can, to this de monstration of the inadequacy ot the national finances to meet its extravagant demands. The Spanish War Against Chili The llombaidment ol Valparaiso. From the limet. In a military point of view the bombardment of the city of Valparaiso by the Spanish squadron, of which we have accounts this morn ing, did not amount to much. The Spanish squadron consisted of six ships, only (our of which were actively engaged in the work ot bombardment. The bombardment lasted for three hours, or from nine in the morning until noon.' Only one or two persons who were in the streets were killed. The damage to pro perty was confined to a few public buildings, andualf a dozen piivate houses; and eight mil lion dollars are the outside figures of the losses incurred.. It is evident from the buildings men tioned as being specially and steadily aimed at, that the Spanish commander attempted only to destroy fJovcrcment property, and we can well believe the statement that tbe damage done oat side of this arose mainly from the bad artillery practice ot the Spanish fleet. The Spanish com mander cave the Chilian authorities four days' notice, of his purpose, and notified also the for eipu consuls, and the naval vessels of other powers that were in the harbor. Tbe small amount of damage to person and property, in a city of eighty thousand Inhabit ants, from three hours' bombardment by four Spanish war ships, will not astonish those who remember the limited results from the great bombardments ot our own recent war. Talce the case .ot Vicksburg, for instance, or Peters burg, or even the remarkablo case of Charleston, which latter city sutferod far more than any other Southern city from the tire of artillery, and it will be seen how little formidable in reality was the brief bombardment of Valparaiso. A bombardment is an operation that naturally ter rifies the people of a city, and may sometimes indirectly produce important military results. But in itself, unless it be carried on with great persistency, with a great number of powerful guns, lor a great.length of time, and with a de termined and comprehensive purpose, it usually neither cllects any sorious dumage, nor accom plishes much that is of value. In a diplomatic and international point of view, the bombardment ot Valparaiso was a matter of some moment, and came very near having highly important bearings and Issues. Attt-r tho Spanish commander had given noti fication of the forthcoming event, protests against it were entered by the representatives, not only of the four "allied Governments" of South America, but by those of every American power, Irom Brazil to tho United States, and by those of every European power, from Great Britain and trance to Denmark and Sweden. Our own Minister to Chili (General Kilpatrick), and our naval commander (Rodaers) in the harbor of Valparaiso, were especially active in their efforts to prevent the bombardment, and to induce a settlement of the dispute between tho belligerents. Ganeral Kilpatrick proposed a method of settlement of an apparently very just ana comprehensive character, aud made so much progress that he induced the Spanish com mander to oxpress a willingness to accept all the fundamental conditions. But on one point and that, as was nutumi for a Spaniard, a point of el iquette her CathMic Majesty's representative, who unites in himselt both military and diplo matic powers, was inflexible. Ha insisted that Cbili should salute the Spanish Hug, and should offer the first salute. All etloru to effect a com promise on this point failed, it was natural enough, therefore, that there should have been considerable indignation at the obstinacy of the Spaniards; and it appears it even wenx B0 far as a very strong desire on the part ol the English and American officers to adopt forcible mea sures aiialnatthe Spanish commander. "Com. modore Rodgers," we are told, "who commands the special American fleet in the Pacific, was ready to prevent the bombardment, even had he been obliged to blow the Spanish fleet out of the water;" and it is unquestionable that it would have been a very easy thing for him to do it, with the four 500-pounders of the monitor Mo nadwek alone. "It further appears," we are told, "that the British Admiral had promised the support of his vessels in this work." The temptation on all hands was certainly great. There was great indignation on the part of the foreign, and especially the British residents, s;weli as on the part of the Chilians, at the THE DAlL EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, policy of non-intervention that wan actually pursued. Like so many other "struegling nationalities,'" the Chilians rxpectoi outside support, and especially, or course, from tho Americans. And the Americans would be loss impulsive and senetous than they are, were not their first feeling to rush to the rescue of the weaker party. On tho whole, however, we must consider it fortunate that the Instructions of our Govern ment to Commodore Kodgers Birred with those given to the Bnti-h commander to pursue a strictly neutral course towards the belligerents. We i-bould be in endless war were our officers in such cases allowed to determine their own course, or were we to be guided alone hy Im pulse. On the same ground that we should forcibly Intervene between Spain and Chill now, we mlp.nl have lntervenod, or we might vet in tervene in a hundred war?. Our Government may exerclsff its offices' in 'the mat'er, but the only duty of our officers is to obey their Government. The Late Election In France The Em- plre- lie tore the People. from the Herald. . i The people of a province of France rcceutly had an opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings in relation to the Emperor Napoleon and his Government. A representative of the Department of Bas-Rhln was to be chosen. There was a Government candidate and an op- TlOsition candidate, anil tlio finvnrnmnn ounHI. date was elected by an Immense majority, re- . . ' ..... 1 " . I cciving rather more than double tho number of i votes cast for his adversary. This expression of untversal suffrage is remarkable, significant as it is of the real views of France, of the masses of the people taken in any given part of the country. His bold faith in his hold upon the people, the cor fldenco with which he accepts an v ap peal to the nation, bis readiness at nil times to carry his case to the polling places. iB one of the grcntest facts in tho Emperor's history. Irom whatever cause it arises, whether it be the old faith in his name, or the result of a deeper insight into the character ot the people, it is unquestionable that this readiness to sub mit his Government to the popular verdict is an important element of its strength. It Ireej it trom any necessity to consider the embarrass ments that factious opposition would put in its way. It lilts it far above the whole atmosphere of party discussion and quarrel. No party can even have a base of operations atrinnst the Gov ernment or get the least foothold in public esteem; tor the party thnt promises most cn offer nothing more delusive or attractive than an appeal to the people, and the Government is ready lor that at any time, and make3 it con stantly. Thus the Government is not tram melled by the necessity of trimming close to any party breezes. It may choose its own course boldly, confidently, only keeping in view the prent mass and body of the people, watching the temper and tone of ihe nation. So long as it is sttte of these it may despise all else, and so long as he can get men verdicts as this from tho Bas Khin, the Emperor may certainly teel sure of tbe people. As a consequence of thli date of affairs there is now a rreal political tranquillity in France. All the factions that in the past have agitated the country are in existence still, but they have lost that confidence of the people thnt was the only element of their power. Whether they are Bourbons or Republicans it is the same. France, sure of what she has, and satisfied with it, will not give it up tor the splendid promises of any of the parties that have led her such a horrible dunce since she first cast down the Bourbons. This is the declaration she nnkes everv time she elects a candidate known to sustain the Govern ment. This is more emphatically stiil the decla ration the has mado in this last election, be cause it follows so closely upon those more thau usually bold arraignments of the Government that have been heard in the Chamber of Depu ties this winter. The old Bourbon oppression had become so bad that the nution was com pelled to get rid ot it, and in the exertions of get ting rid oi it she lost her equilibrium. That lost, equilrbrium of a nation could not bo regaiued at once, aud France staggered and reeled through all the moods of trouble tbe Jacobins, the Di rectory, the Consulate, the Empire, the Bour bons, the Republic; through all these she went and was in trouble btill, but now she is firmly on her feet again and will stay there; however the Reds promise something better and the rhetori cians declaim against the Empire. France is the more ready to stay as she is, because she believes that she can change her condition whenever she desires it. She believes she can do this because she possesses universal suffrage; aud in this way, also, universal suf frage adds a vast strength to the empire, since it has educated the people to believe that it is the creatuie of their own will, aud has gotten them into the habit of endorsing it every noiv and then. This is a habit that only the createst possible errors on the part of the Emperor can chanee; for France is not fickle, though her history lollowing the Revolution has made her teem so. Nothing less than the vices of the Bourbons could have induced her to rust Ihom out; and changeable as she seemed in the many HIUH1UUU3 puc BuuBcqucniiy passea tnrough, she would have seemed a great deal worse it she had quietly accepted any one of those many bad y stems. It has been argued that the elections in France are not lair expressions of the popular senti ment, because they are so largely controlled by Government influences, direct and indirecU This argument may hold in Europe, but canuot here, where we are lamiliar with the whole machi nery of elections and know exactly how little can be effected by organization in 'influencing the choice of the people, In view ot the history ot France she cannot he accnupH nf nr physical cowardice. She is neither so timid as to tear the displeasure ot Government agents, nor is she to be controlled bv the linvr.nets. Wo ' JU.i ul vidjuu till I kU ht by universal suflnure as the roal people, and the great fact of the present condi tion of France is that that voice is now over- wncimiiittiy in tavor ol the empire. Muzzling the President. Yom the World. It has always been deemed a fundamental principle ot free government that the legislative, tho executive, and the judicial department should be separated, and each made, within its own proper spheie, independent of the others. By the Federal Constitution, the indcpcndenc3 of Congress is secured by lodging in its han Is tbesole power to make or withhold appropria tions. The judiciary are made independent, by their tenure of office durine good behavior, by the prohibition to diminish their salaries while they remaiu in office, and by their authority to set aside and declare null all laws which, in their opinion, conflicc with the Constitution. The independence of the executive is guaran teed by the power of tho President to veto objectionable laws, and his power of removing kubordinate officers. If Congress should at tempt to control the decisions oi fhe judges by withholding their sularies, the proceeding would not be more revolutionary than the at tempt it is now making to subdue and subordi nate the executive by destroing the powers with which the Constitution had clothed him for the protection of his independence. The amendment offered by Senator Trumbull to the Post Office Appropriation bill Is some thing more than a declaration of hostility to the President It is an attempt to annihilate the in dependence of the Executive, and break down the reparation of powers established by the Con stitution. The Constitution declares that "the eiecuthe power shall be vested In a President of the United States of America." The Constitu tion establishes a plural legislative department consisting of two branches, each composed of many members; It establishes a plural judicial department, consisting of several Judges; but the whle executive power is conferred upon a single officer; and, although that department employs ten thousand times as many persons as the legislative and judicial departments together, unity ot administration and concen tration of responsibility are secured by making hem all the subordinates of one officer In whom the whol executive power in vested. It the President had control only of his personal acts, and not ot those of his subordiuates, it wmiIJ be absurd to hold him responsible (as tho Constitution does) for tbe taithiul executt in ot tbe laws. In that case, instead ot being vested with the whole executive power, he would only possess that lninificant Irnctlon of it which he can exerciFe without the Md ol others. This power to remove subord natts necessarily re sults from the fact that he is clothed with tho whole executive power, and that it is made tils duty lo t-e that thf laws are laithfullt executed. If his sub' rdinr.ies rclnse compl auce, he is powerless to enlorce the laws, and the responsi bility with which the Constitution clothes him ceases, unless he has power to displace tue un faithful or contumacious officer. It Is now proposed to strip the President of this nrcesnary power a power cxcicised by every President Irom Washington down aud prevent removals from office during tho recess of Congress. Mr. Trumbull's amendment la in the follnwing words: "Koperscn exercifinj' or per.orniin? tho duties of anv office, which by law Is required lo be fit ed by tue anvlco and consent or the Wcnate, shall, before confltmation bv the Scnato, receive any salary or compenat on for his somous, unless ho be commis sioned by tho I'les'duDt to till on a vacanov which hac, during- the recess of the Senate, and since Its last adjoun merit, happened by d?ath, resignation, or expiration ol term." That is to say, no vacancy shall be filled which may be caused by too President's re moval of the incumbent ! There can hn no JRl'J!. tK&lSJ&V'h and ou,d bo tueetiectot this amendment; lor no officer can be expected to serve the Gavernment withmii pay. It is as direct au attack on tho President's power of removal, as withholding the salaries of the Judges would be on judicial indepen dence. But it the President cannot remove unfaithful, incompetent, or contumacious offi cers, he is divested ot the executive power with which the Constitution clothes him. It the executive power, or any purt of it, is to be exer cised by ollietrs whom be cannot control, ho is stripped ol his constitutional functions, which are unn ferrcd lo the officers who may with impunity defy him. or to the bndy to which those officers are mido responsible. The con stitutional unity of the executive auihoiltv is thus broken, and the President rendered a pow erless cipher in the Government. For, if the power of removal may be annulled in respect to one class ot officers, it may in respect to all; aud the President, who, in our widely ramitled system of administration, can act only through his f ubordinatcs, might bo divested ot all executive authority. The irre movable Secietnry oi Stato and his irremovable subordinates would nianate the Department of Foreign Aliairs us they pleased, against the will ot a helples President: and so withthe Secretary ol the TrcaMiry, and so the Secretary of War anil every deportment of the Executive" Administra tion. But us every executive power (except that of nominations to office) is exerted, through some one ol the departments, the President would bo rouipletely denuded ot all independent autho rity, except that of "ending in nominations, which tbe Senate is at full liberty to reject. It would bo a complete absorption of the execu tive authority into the legislative branch of tho Gox eminent, in dcliant di.-rpg aid of the consti tutional declaration tuat the executive authority shall be vested in the President, and that "he shall take care that the laws be faithtullv exe cuted." The Constitution provides that, "the PreM (!cnt shall have power to till up all vacancies" not merely those which mav tukc place by other means than removal- "to till up all vacancies which may happen during the recess ot the Scnute, by granting commissions, which shall expire at the end of their next session." The revolutionary radicals propote to nullify this part ol the Constitution, by refusing to the per sons so commissioned uy pay for their services. Congress would have just as much right to cut oh the salary of the President, or those of the Justices ot the Supreme Court. To say that officers appointed to till vacancies shall receive no compensation is equivalent to sayiu" th va cancies shall not be filled: which is in the very teeth of an express declaration of the Cotistttn. tion. According to this revolutionary scheme, il an officer is embezzling the public money; it he is indolently net lecting his duties; if he is violating the law or the regulations of the de partment of w hich he is a subordinate: if hp i beastly drunk everv hour of the twenty-four when he is not Bblcrp; if he daily reviles the President with foul-mouthed ribaldry, the Presi dent must not remove him, or if he doe it must be by suppressrng the office at the saine time ho displaces the oflieer, since it is a virtual interdict on the appointment of a successor. And why is the Constitution to be thus vio lated? Why is President Johnson to be thus dealt with as no President was ever dealt with by a hostile Congress before? For no other reason than that he is a lricnd ot the Union, and desires its speedy restoration. It it because he will not lend himself as an instrument to keep it sundered and dissevered. The veto power is already virtually annihilated, bv ex cluding from Congress States enough to render it effective; and now the executive power of the President is attacked, and, if the scheme suc ceeds, will be annulled, by rendering his sub ordinates Independent of him, and making it safe for them to thy, art his wishes and contu maciously resist his authority.
