COMPILED XYEBT DAT FOB HVXNIHO TBLKOIUPU. Polygamy In Utah. Frtm the Tribune. The llouso Committee on Territories have ap plied to Bcoretary Stanton for permission to summon General P. Edward Conner, command tag the United States forces In Utah, and the Iter. Norman MeLeol, Taylor of the "Gentile" Church In Salt Lake City, to nppoar before them and testify touching the condition ot Utah and the manner In which the laws of the United States are observed and enforced. Judge Titus, Supremo Justice of the Territory, and a number ot other -fitnesses, have already been examined by them on the same point. We are assured, bemi-oflicially, that the Government hits do cidod to appoint no more polygamies to otfice. There should be no harsh or hasty doslins with a community of religious fanatics; but all must acquiesce in the wisdom of this determi nation. Indeed, lustice and good policy seem to require that the polygauiists now riling Im portant and responsible Federal ofllcea should be removed at once, ana tneir piacps nueu uj men who, whatever their religious laith, re t pect and obey '.lie laws of the country. It Is a national scandal that even the United States District Attorney in Utah the very man whoso sworn othcial duty It is to prosecute violations of the anti-poljRsmy statute -is an oppn and avowed violator of it, being the husband of tour wives. rierco and Party. From the Tribune. Mr. Pierce has made a speech. In New Hamp shire. At a Democratic caucus. Only a por tion of It has reached us a delicate tit bit a crumb of old auo wisdom the quintessence of along and varied experience a sort of apho rism bursting with sagacity a barrol of political philosophy boiled down to a pint a recipe, In small, lor all the country's compluints and very kind it was to let us know w nat a bloesc 1 "change"' awaits the land, "when people will bo broughito look to something hlnuer than the norpetiiation of party power." This is a singu lar confession to conio from one born ot party, nursed by party, rescued lrom obscurity by party, and also, we must confess, remanded to ob'curlty by the same agency. It is certainly an odd enough remark to be made in a caucus, and the question will arise what General Pierce was doing at the caucus at nil? liut we re member the poor fox who lo.-4 his tali in a trap, and who, in full convention of his tellow-loxes, advised them all to nave their flappers ampu tated. Not that there may not be some truth in General Pii'ice's remark only he has been -uch a weary long while in arriving at itt If he could only have been as wise at twentv-one ! There are lour years In the history ot the United Stutca which might have been brighter. Perhaps, as a sincere penitent, ii would be come Mr. Pierce to issue a sort ot circular letter to his old cronies, it he can forgive their deser tion, stating succinctly his new views, and ad vising bis brethren to act upon them. He m.ist know that a desperate attempt is now and ha been for some time on foot to resuscitate tae Democratic party: that Cox thinks there is life in it yet; that Vallandigham is of the same opinion; that Governor Seymour does not despair of It; that none of tne-e worthies have any notion 01 going out of the old business, if it can, by hook or bv crook, be mado to pay. Mr. Pierce may not think the party of his old affections worth saving; but such is not the opinion of his ancient colleagues. Mpan while, if be will make no more caucus speeches, it will be a pleasure to us to count him out, and never to mention bis name in connection with politics again. The Personnel ol the Administration. From the Timet. We do not think we have had an administra tion of our Government since its foundation which, as a body, bos, had higher ability and character than the present, or one In which the country has had a greater confidence and pride. The scope of our governmental affairs is much greater now than in former times, and the ques tions dealt with have been infinitely more diffi cult of solution than any in our previous his tory; but the heads of our principal departments have exhibited the highest capacity for their great work and the most eminent fitness for their positions. They will bear comparison not only with any of the illustrious men who figured in our Government in its earlier or in later days, but what is perhaps at present a more fitting com partton with the statesmen of any of the Cabinets of the great Statos of Europe. No one would fear comparison between the diplomatic capacity of Secretary Seward and Karl Kustell or Drouyn de Lhuys between the financial eenius of Secretary McCulloch and Gladstone or Fould, and as tor Secretary Stan ton, tho course of recent European history has had no opportunity for the display of abilities such as lie has illustrated, while he certainly would not sutler by being placed alongside of any of the War Ministers of any of the great European Towers in any ot tho great military epochs. In the other departments, which from their nature have less prominence than these three, the heads aro all men who bring to their duties abilities of an order rarely excelled in public functionaries. The fact is of the very highest importance to us as a nation. Besides the popular con tide nee in the adminibtration of the various departments which It generates, it gives the country a feel ing of conscious strength and dignitied self respect, such as it has not always during the present generation been able to maintain. In the brut position in our Administration, we have in President Johnson a man whose course under the most dillicalt circumstances what ever criticisms may be made as to forms and details, or whatever may be said by malignauts like Phillips as to motive or object has been signalized by profound patriotism, by unim peachubly Integrity, and by couraue; and whose policies have been comprehensive, tar-reaching, discreet, and conservative, and of a nature cal culated to r fleet the purpose which he has de clared to be his sole ambition the perfect reunion of all the States in fact and in spirit. While on tho one hund President Johnson has approved himselt a man of nioat ener- f;etic forces, which are constantly demand ugexpresBicn, he has aleo recently shown him selt to be- D0888sed of "the raie power of con serving or holding in cbeok his forces of patiently permitting events to mov on and develop themselves, where he lacks the power of interference, or where his hasty Interference would retard their progress towards the end , which he desires consummated. This is one of the last attainments of manhood, and one of the Ihlnknnt nliivaninUtlni if utu raatn onaVi m a r A lim 11c nb vim auici imi liD ui oiovtc iai uiiouiu , nuu. with tho other great trait9 of Johncon's life and administration, has established him in the pub lic confidence to an extent only equalled in the ease of his immediate Dredccesjor. Secretary Seward's name is a tower of national strength, and i held in orolound respect throughout the world. This certainly is not because H has been his iortune to obtain popularity by following popular idess or caprices, or to secure fame by the achievement ot simple tabors. In domestic politics, he stood lor lour vears as the recognized public champion of the unpopular caue of nnti-sUverv, and the exponent ol an idea which the eye or faith might foresee would inform the "partv of the future." but which had tittle prospect of obtuming political power tor generations. Since he has had the conduct of our foreign relations, be baa to oppose the purpose, prelndires, and interests of nearly all the Governments with which he carried on intercourse, and be lias had to do so under oircumstances often calculated to irritate and vex. Yet in all be has been suc cessful, and through all he has grown up to the full measure ot honor and fame. Stanton was unknown to the country until he was Darned Secretary of War; but ho no sooner assumed the title than the fact was patent North and South, in the army and In all the States. It is common enough now to recognize his in tegrity, his energv, his strength, and his great ness, to magnity his labors and celebrate his achievements. A3 in Seward'a casf , the issue and tesnlt of his works constitute their final encomium, and by this view, he stands foremost among the militsry administrators of history. Tbe burden of Stanton's labors, and the bur den of Seward's may bo said to have ended with the war; but the burden of duties imposed upon Secretary McCulloch ts hardly less to-day than it was a year ago. Our financial movement have been and still are like the movements of our war, on the most gigantic scale. For tboir governance thoy demand nothing Bhort of finan cial genius. Whether we regard the volume and condition of our currency, the state of our credit, and of the money market, or the ceaseless demands aud enormous expenditures, we see -that the genius which through them all could maintain our honor and uphold our credit as well as It has been upheld, must have been of a pre-eminent order. Since the close of the war, as during his brie! term ot ottico whilo the war lasted, secre tary McCulloch has displayed consummate skill; and we believe that ii Congress will allow him the liberty of action winch he requires, he will work out for tbe country its financial problem, and establish the national credit sound and Qrm. As a political torce, Secretary McCulloch is not much known to tho people; but as a powerful and intelligent supporter ot toe policy ot the President, as an enemv of ultraism, and a Dure- minded pptriot, he lends the weight ot his char acter and influence to the rehabilitation of tho tJciou. the re-eslablixhment of its ancient Con stitution, and the formation ol its new life. (jr such a body ot national servants it is but fitting that the nation should be proud. The Reconstruction Committee and their Latest Constitutional Amendment. From the Herald. The special order of the day in tho Federal House of Representatives on Monday nest, will probably bo tho resolution irom tho Recon struction Committee, embracing the following proposition for an amendment of tho Constitu tion, to wit: That Congress shall uavo rower to make all laws wliich shall be uocossiiry and proper to soouro to wis cmzei's of each ts.ate all tlio pnvnccc. and immuul-tii-s ol citizens in he soveral Mates, and to all per sons in iIjo several Sta'es equal protection iu itio ripbts of lifo, liberty, aud property. This is a fair proposition, but it seems to us wholly unnecessary and siiucriluou?. The Con stitution as it is expressly declares that "the citizens ot each State shall be entitled to ail the pri ilef.es and immunities ot citi.ens iu the several States;" and as tins ia included in that division ol the constitution which treats ot tho powers of Coneress, the enlorcouient of thoso equal "privileges and immunities" clearly bo longs to Congress. Next, w.th resurd to the protection ol all persons in the several States in the nehts of hie, liberty, and property. What is this for? Enactments by ContnreiS for the enforcement of theso personal rights have heretofore never been thought ot. Tha Sta'e Legislatures, and the State and United State courts, have answered the purposo. But while, lictore the late Rebellion, according: to Chief Justice Taney, the neero had no rijhis wttish wnuo men were bound to respect, he has, since the war, with the abolition of slavery, been ad vanced by the Constitution to the level of the "tree pe, sous" or citizens of the United States. Mr. Bancroft, in his late Lincoln discourse bo fore Coneress, said that the Dred Scott dcoision had no foundation iu civil law, canon la 1, feudal jaw, common law, or constitutional law; but still, under the Constitution as it was, State legislation and Congressional legislation had established a system of civil and political dis criminations against the blacks, such as to pal liate to a great extent the bold and startling construction given lrom the Supreme Court by Judge Taney of the Constitution itself. me war, however, and the amendment abol ishing slavery have swept every vesture of au thority from the Constitution tor these Discrimi nations against the blades of this country in reierence to their general civil and political rights. If tbe free negro of the United States had no rights which white men wore bound to respect, it was because his whole race fell under the ban involved in the Constitutional recogni tion and protection of African slavery. With that Institution swept away, the negro born and raised in the United States becomes a citizen of tho United States, and one of the people, in whose name tbe Constitution stands. Thus, in the amendment abolishing slavery, the power embraced "to enforce this article by appropriate legislation" gives to Congress the power to enforce the general civil aud political rights of the blacks as citizens. The distinctions result ing from slavery are wiped out, and there is no such color as white or black in the Constitution from the beginning to the end. It is a most re markable tact, too, tnat the tirst appearance of tho word "slavery" in tha Constitution is in the amendment abolishing slavery. It shows that "the father" were ashamed of it, and that even while recognizing it by ruundbout phrases thoy framed their work to meet the ultimate attain ment of universal liberty. Why. then, all these superfluous Constitu tional amendments? They are the tricks of the party in power, as excuses for tho continued exclusion ot toe excluded Southern States. They are intended as food for buncombe as political capital for electioneering purposes in the North. They are intended to divert the public attention from the practical issues of Southern restoration to the agitation of plausible BDt' actions, in me exercise or the powers which they now possess, the two Houses of Con tress may establish ample protection and securi ties concerning tho civil and political rights ot t he Southern blacks, and in a very short time secure a full representation fiom ail the States on a satistuctoiy looting of loyalty. But the domi nant party are playing their game for power a bold and dangerous game indeed, but one in which they will probably not be cheeked short of some emphatic warning from our approach ing Northern elections. Supei Octal Iteform. 7Vom the World. That portion ot th,e report of the Revenue Commissioners which considers "the organiza tion awl administration of a revenue system,') bears evidence that tho Commissioners eltaor were constrained to make a report before their views were matured, or that the subject was too largo and complex for their grasp. Neither of these theories is any impeuchment ot tne gene ral intelligence or Industry of the Commission. The fiist, of courso, is not; and, as to the last, it would not be strange that a commission made up of men, none of whom evsr had experience in the high places of Federal Administration, should find themselves plunged in a sea ot diui cultieB and confllctu g theoiles. In respect to the Internal ravenue, the Com missioners say that they "have no allegation of fraud to present, but at the same time are con strained to odd that in point of organization and administration it ia very far lrom what it should be." They specify "a lack of power and authority ia the Internal Revenue Depaitmen to con'sol itself. especially in the matter of expenditures," and give as illustrations such detects in organization or administration as the following: I. Too little power in the Commission to ex pend money, as reward tor information or lattr fill special service; and too much power iu aud'ting ofllcers of Treasury to check; theje ex penditures. II. Limitation in number of ofllcers, anl in adequacy of salaries. ill. Impossibility of finding a man competent for full discharge of all the duties now devolved upon and expected ol the Commissioner. IV. No lire-proof building in Washington In which to keep records andpapeisof internal revenue. V. The prevailing policy of making the ap pointment, retention, and promotion of o Ulcers of this Bureau depend on politics alone. VI. Ignorance on tho part ol ofllcers who have been (elected and appointed by Mr. Lincoln's Administration. The Commission are of opinion that these imperfections cannot be remedied without "an ititire reorganization of the whole macnlnery aud policy of the bureau." We will let the Com mifsion describe their project in thetr own words: ll.e Commission would smrFMt that tho first of these 1 lie co Jeoiion 01 tbe rerMiae be titnsierrad lrom tbe immediate responsibility ol the oeoretary ot tlie Treasury, and. suo.jcot only to hia guueral ant ervision, bo placed under the charge of a new oflicer, subordinate only iu rauk and 10 nmount of salary to lue Secretary, . who shall be at v lea tlie Uni.cr-broieUry of the ireuary in ciiaifre of the Revenue; and iliat 10 this officer mould be assigned the poueral oversight and direouon ot the collection 01 the levennee, and tbe preparation of an annual exhibit ot iho condition ot the revenue, trade, com merce, and industry ol tho country. Tlio Commission would also propose that, In con ncciion with the new drpar.muiit of the Treasury, Itiere should be unpointed a Commissioner ot tlie Customs and a Commissioner of the Kxoltte, with a honci'OKt the Customs and a Solioilor 01 the hix c.rei and that those live otlloor should consulate a Board, to be known as toe Board ot Commissioner ot Iht) Beviuuo, ot wbicb tho Undui-beorotary of tae Treasury eliou d be tlio ohalrman. To lb s Board bhouid L re erred tho dotermlna'ton 01 al rules aud rerilat.'oiis relating to tbe collection ot the revenue; tlio expenditure to oe Inouireilin its. ict to the same; ti.e niananement of all revenue processes at law 1 and tho distribution ot all moiotios received from lonei ure and penalties, In re vard lor food s rico and lor valuable luioriraiion. 1 bey would also proi ose that no subordinate odicer ot tlie revenue slu ulu receive a commission until bis quali fications lor tie proper UiHiburiie ol his du.ioa bad Leeu exaiuiu.d m o and approved ot by tbo Board 01 Commissioner. It will be seen that this outline of the plan of the Commission, besides creatiua a new army of ollice-holdcrs, gives to tbe Secretary a "general supervision," which means, we suppose, as iniii'h fcupervision us each Secretary may be in cline d to tnke. At auy rate, this scheme, by giviiig to him "general supervision," makes the bccietary really lespomsible for the administra tion ot the Board ol Commissioners. The repoit before us abstains from intimation of the proposed teuuro ot otlice ot tho mera'jcr-t of the Bourd, and tho mode of appointment. What sccuiUy can and will there be in law, that tin'. Board cannot and will not be changed with each political revolution iu the Federal tjoveru mtntr It is sui'gLSted, o bo sure, that no sub ordinate oilicer of tho revenue shall receive a cominisiioii wuhout examination uud approval thereof by tho Board; but the act of Congress 01 llaich, lbC'd, has a similar provision that no clerk shall be appointed without f-lm lar exami nation and npprovul by a Board, and that accom plishes nothing, fcav the Commission; so that the proposal now submitted is only treading in tho came old circle. Lvciy Bourd of Commissioners will Inevitably be compluisaut to the Secretary of the Treasury, who is a superior oinccr, witn poer ot "gene ral supervision;'' and whomever he or tho Pre sident desire appointed will, as a matter of course, be commissioned. ISO Kind ot legisla tion under our existing Constitution cau keep the President from being virtually supreme in executive matters. lie niles first by perauasion, and. it that mils, he has only to remove the re fractory officer or Board, aud appoint another moie dispone.! to be attentive to his iutiuia tious, and watchful of his wishes. The evil of incompetent otticiaU complained of by the report cannot be remedied by croatiug more places, to be Piled by men no better than thoso now in ollice. The only true path ol reiorm io, first, 10 turn out the iucapables now in power, and theu elevate butter poo pie in tteir sicau. Tbe plant! subdivision ol labor proposed-by tho report is now prac'ically iu operation ia Washington. There u an Under-Secretary. Mr. John r . Hartley, wno has oversight and atrec tion of tbo collection of tho revenue. Tbero are already a Commissioner of Customs and a tioacitor ot Customs, and these doubtless con stantly confer together, and 4o all that U sue Ectcd by the report. It may be that there is necessity for a Commissioner aud Solicitor of the Excise, but we doubt it. Everybody knows that Mr. Hartley is the actual, though not tho legal. Secretary of the Treasury iu revenue matters. It is very certain that, upon the point ot organization and administration of the revenue, the n-port before us not oily falls to present any new scheme of practicable reform which pro mises any cooa result, but it is singularly feeble in uncovering and signalizing the real ciuse of existing delects in administration. And we, tberelot e, conclude that the Commission were either lorccd into a premature report, or that the subject was too largo for their comprehen sion, by reason ot ignorance of practical depart mental and bureau experience. Sustaining the Administration. To the Editor of the Evening Telegraph: It was deeply regretted by every really wise and good citizen that the national Adminis tration bad to encounter an organized oppo sition in this section of the Union during tho progress of the late Rebellion. It was said then, and said with great truth, too, that there should be but one party in the loyal States; and that those who were cot for the Government during the trying emergency in question, were necessarily against it. It is well known that Mr. Lincoln's Administra tion was seriously embarassed by those who, professiDg loyalty to the Constitution, yet objected to almost every important measure that was adopted for the suppression of the Rebellion ; and it maybe truthfully asserted now, In vindication of the character and good name oi the "martyred President," that most, if not all of those acts of his that were de nounced as arbitrary, or unwarranted by strict law, were rendered necessary, and therefore Justified, by the practical aid which tbe Rebels received from a faction here in the North, whese members, while claiming to be adverse to secession, pursued a course ot action which positively Impeded the Govern ment in all its efforts to put down the Seces sionists. We recall this fact from no desire to heap odium on those persons In the loyal Sta.es who were either opposed to the lato civil war on the part of tbe national uu'horltles, or who did not, at least, heartily sympathize and co-operate with the Executive and Congress in their endeavors to quell the Insurrection, History will take care of all that with posterity, and the account will, no doubt, be Anally Bet tied in a mauner that will mete out equal justice to all concerned. But tbe lessons of tbe recent past should not be lost to the immediate present. The Rebellion, indeed, has tern conquered. The clang of arms in fratricidal strlle is heard no more In the land. The great problem wbct'ier this Government is able to maintain itself against domestic trea son on the most gigantic scale upon which it could possibly be organized, bas been brought to the tebt, and worked out to a most satis factory, and, we hope, an ultimate and lasting solution. It should not, however, be supposed that the Government has yet so completely finished the task imposed upon it by the Rebellion, as to be able to dispense with the harmonious and cordial support of all those who are genuinely and sincerely loyal to IU The present Administration, indeed, bas quite as arduous and Important a work to perform In restoring the late rebellious States and their people to their appropriate relations to the Union, as tbe previous Administration bad in overcoming the Insurgents In the field. And, therefore, President Jonssos, La his efforts to accomplish a wWe and sound policy of reconstruction, is Just as much in need of, and Just as much entitled to, the confidence, sympathy, and co-operation of every loyal citizen In the whole country, as was Mr. Lincolh during the progress of the war. Factious opposition to the Government now, in Congress or out of it, Is hardly, if at all, less Injudicious, less unwarranted, or less re prehensible, than it was when the armies of the South were facing the soldiers of the Union in the field, and advancing even to tbe very gates of the national capital. . President Johkson feels this truth, no doubt, more pro foundly and painfully than any other man in this country, and he must have been intensely gratified on Wednesday last; when a large number of the leading citizens of Montana Territory waited on him at the White House, and pledged to him their earnest approval of his policy, and their purpose to sustain him In it to the end. Tbeir spokesman, Mr. B. M. riK met, in the course of his address on that occasion said: "We are using no idle or imaginary words when we assure you that we taKe tho greatest possible pleasure in saying ihat we recognize in you, as the Chief Magistrate of this great nation, a person who possesses that sound mind, that general knowledge, that firm and patriotic devotion to the ruling interest and welfare of the whole country, which are so necessary to carry it tafel.v over the ocean of political specu lation and debate. We attach no ereat import ance to tb is oreeverat ion ot our leelings in rela tion to yourseb, but we should be doing injustice to ourselves and injustice to the people of the Territory of Mont mo, and should merit their severest censure, It we did not say that we firmly believe that if you meet with a cordial and generous support 011 every hand, this nation will come forth from this present political crisis a htiongcr and better nation, prepared to taKe a hlcher stand, and do a nobler work on the plat form of history than has ever yet been allotted to any nation ot the earth." Words like these con come only from the Hps of men whose hearts are right. They are the inspiration of the highest and purest patriotism, unalloyed by any spirit of conceited egotism, or any bias ot personal In terest or prejudice. They are the utterances of patriots, who not only have no party pre dilections or party aims to gratify, but who clearly perceive that tho only legitimate ob ject ot the war waged against the Rebellion will remain unattained until tbe Union is entirely restored; and tba, unless the Presi dent is properly supported now in his efforts to that end, it must either be defeated alto gether or postponed through an lndelmlte period, or bitter ana injurious political con tention in every part ot the land. It is true, moreover, that if the Union is once re-established on a just basis, on the Constitutional principles on which it was oriffinallv founded, its nower and prosperity will be far grander in the future than ft has ever been in the past, or could ever have been but for the terrible struggle that has tiled its strength, and confirmed it beyond all hope of overt hi ow by domestic treason or lorelgn nos tility. All truly loyal citizens everywhere should realize this fact. Those especially who stood by the Government daring the late civil war should not desert it now. Opposi tion from them to the Administration is more dancrerous now than from those who opposed tbe Government while the Rebellion lasted, . 17 : ... . ... l - Besides, there can henceforth be but one strong and decidedly dominant party in this country, and that party must be found always and entirely faithful to the Constitution and tbe Union, and conservative of both as one and indivisible. President Johnsox has plainly and squarely planted himself on that platlorm. and the great mass of the people will undoubtedly be with him. Those, therefore, who shall attempt to fight bim and them, from this time forward, on that high ana firm ground, will rapidly dwindle to a miserable minority, who will not only be vanquished in every encounter, but incur an odium but little less than that which attaches to those who opposed the Government during the war.
