We do not believe there la any need of send
ing for persons or papers, nor of making any
elaborate inquiry. Mr. Defrpcs, who superin
tends the public printing, Is honest, capable,
and faithful; and there is, In short, noboby to
blame bat Conprress its jlf. And its fault is Just
this It interferes with the business of supply
ing the public with ' reading matter, to the great
Injury and wrong or those who laudably sccK to
live by doing thai very same.
Suppose Congress should buy up one-twelfth
cf all the leathir in the counlry, and proceed
to translorm it into boots and shoes, and dis
tribute those boots and shoes gratis among their
constituents at the public cost, who would not
real izo that this waa a cross wrong, tirst to the
people, whose money was lavished In making
gratuities to a small portion of their number:
next, to all who are engazed in the boot and
ehoe btiBiness, which would be thus deranged
and debauched?
i Yet this is exactly what Congress persintently
does to our business, deiying our protests and
luocking our complaints. We gave our best
yeais to learning how to supply the public need
of useful intonuation. All our living and our
eaviugs have been gained by it. Tho business
euits us, and weaieuot sk.Vcd.in any other.
We can do well by it ii Congress will only let
us. But Congress will not let u. It persists
in raising the price ol'puprr on us by buying up
with public money one-twelfth of all paper
made in the country, printing it at the puolic
cost, and then sending it nil over the country
by a still lurthcr pull at the treasury. Is this
lair? Congress calls on us for many thousand
dollars per "annum in taxes. Why won't it give
ds a decent chance to earn them ?
One of our specialites is turnishing agricul
tural knowledge to farmers; and we can beat
at it all the Government pap-suckers in the
country; but, when we have to compete in the
business with rivals who arc not enly Ealaricd
jlom the Treasury, but have their paoer. print
jnc, nmilmir, and transportation paid for out of
the Treasury also our product being taxed to
lielp pay the cost of supplying the competing
article lor nothing we can't help fcaying we
don't like it. Is that too harsh?
What Congress should do is to stop the whole
"business of priutirg matter for public informa
tion. Let It print what is required for its own
information, and then supply at cost all who
"want extra copies. We are willing to pay a
fair price lor a copy of eery document printed
by Congress, and pay the regular po-tage on its
transmission to us; and we are quite willing
that every one else who chooses should be sup
plied on the same terras; but against all print
ing of documents tor gratuitous diffusion we
most earnestly protest, now and evermore.
Oat Southern Next Door Neighbor The
Duty of tho United State.
From the Ihrald.
The Secretary of State on Tuesday evening
Jast, as it appears, gave a handsome entertain
ment to Madame Juarez, the wife of President
Juarez, of the republic of Mexico. It further
upi ears that all the representatives of the,
Spanish-American republics were present, as
was also the Russian Minister, and that the
party was one of the most brilliant ot the sea
eon." , We presume that the amiable reporter of
this brilliant affair means that it was "one of
the most brilliant of the 6eason" in regard to the
beautnul women, the decant dresses, the
pparkliug wit and champagne, and the general
eprightlinoM and harmony of the intellectual
company which distinguished the occasion. But
this entertainment to Madame Juaiez, a poor
exile Irom Mexico, we may bay, was something
more than brilliant. It was a very significant
and important diplomatic event.
It was a delicate otlicittl notification to the
diplomatic corps at Washington that our Govern
ment etill recognizes no other government in
Mexico than that of the republic, and that the
hend of our State Department is pleased to wel
come Madame Juarez to the hospitalities of bis
house, not as an exile without a country, but as
the honored w ile of the worthy President ot a
republic which still lives, and which we are
bound to prevent going down under a European
usurpation. This is the diplomatic interpreta
tion of Mr. Seward's biilliuut social entertain
ment to Madame Juarez. It will be so received
by J.ouis Napoleon, and the presence ot the
ltusauin Minister among the guests will also be
understood at the Tuilerics us a matter of the
gravest political import in retereuce to the future
policy ot Russia in both hemispheres.
From the correspondence of last your between
Mr. Seward and M. Drouyn de Lhuys, the Mex
ican ultimatum of President Johnson was
broadly intimated to be, not the withdrawal of
the French troop, but the withdrawal of the
French usurpation. To this ultimatum, it is
evident, President Johnson still adheres, and
we have not the remotest idea that he contem
plates any other , settlement, Louis Napoleon
may think that within a short time Juaiez will
be driven tiom his last retreat on Mexican soil,
and that then, as Maximilian's will be the only
Government having a toothold in that country,
lie must be recognized by the United States. But'
Napoleon, by turning back to his illustrious
predecessor in tho government of France, Louis
the Fourteenth, will tiud that he reoogui.ed and
supported Jumes the Second as the rightful
King of England, even alter his expulsion by
the will and action of the English people them
selves. Much more lustly, theu, even if driven
into the United States, may we still adhere to
the-government of Juarez agtiinst a foreign
usurpation as offensive to tho people of the
country most concerned as whs the attempted
subjugation of the Netherlands by Spain, and
alir.obt as offensive to the people ot the United
States. ,,. .
It is certain that, Juarez or no Juarez, Maxl
mrian can have no peace in Mexico without a
recognition from the United States, and It Is
equally certain that this recognition is out of
the question. What then ? The Inquiries xecur
to Napoleon, It this Mexican enterprise any
longer worth the candle ? Will it not be
cheaper and wiser to re-establish the Mexican
Republic upon the basis of some equivalents to
Fiance in the way of Indemnities ? At the clof e
of.lhe war between the United States aud
Mexico, General Scott, while still in occupation
of -the Mexican capital, had an oiler made him
imolving the transfer of all that country to his
Government. He declined it. for the reason, as
be said, that ho did not like the mixina of
4 1. . 1 111. 1L. 1 . , ...
lutieo uiun((icn im iiil- Aiuuricuu people, Ye
Ihiiik be was too fastidious, and lost a flun
oiiportunvtv for the permanent pacliication of
Mexico and our Southern States besides. But.
as events have since transpired, the people of
the" United States have no longer auy desire for
the absorption of Mexico. They only desire that
our next-door neighbor shall be a friend and
brother, and not a stranger, a usurper, ami an
enemy.- . .
Good or bad, the merits of the Cover lment of
Maximilian are not the question. How and why
he came into Mexico, and why be remains there,
a protege ol France, are the issues to bo sjithd.
Our Government has defined its position and its
ult mi ul urn, and can wait a l.ttle 1'iiigci. Jt is
apparent that neither the President nor Con
press deire to provoke a rupture wlttt France.'
As with England on thtr question of the- north
eastern fisheries, we desire- ui roterenoe to
Mexico a peacelul, fair, and liberal adjustment;
but in both cases, meantime, the chapter of acci
dents may precipitate a ditlurctit solution. What
the Amwiican press, or that or the other, here
and there, may venture to hint In the way of In
dulgence to Maxlnnlinn does not touch tite prof
lion ot the Administration or the public senti
ment of this country.
Louis Napoleoa's sa'ety in tho future depondu
upon his withdrawal from Mexico, atid as the,
-current expenses ot hi imperial establishment
there are his, and not ours, we inter that our
Government is aatislied that the quiet policy of
"innsterly inuctivily" will settle tho. problem.
The duty ot tho United States in jetoreuce to
Mexico is the Monroe doctrine.- This has been
declared by Congress and by President John
son. Louis Napoleon is aware of all this; but
he etill seems to depend, like "Micawber," upon
the chances of something turning up to his ad
vantage, when every succeeding day only adds
to the cost of this Mexican entanglement, and
to the difficulties of an extrication satisfactory
to France .
'A Strong Minority Greatly Needed.
Frn the Times.
Tho minority in Coneress becomes alarmingly
small. The opponents of the President are wel
come to make all out of the admission they
please. In times of panic, in the crisis of revo
lution, in the hour when men are clutching
not lor party triumph or permanent party as
eendancv but for natloual existence, over
whelming majorities supply tho only hope for
national unity.
But alter passion has subsided, and national
becpine conlounded with party victories, there
arises the equally important crbls which men
devoted to lreedom of speech and Iroedom of
political action most dread.
We Americans may te founding a freer system
on this continent thun other nations have ever
known. But the thing has to be proven.
Neither thinking men among ourselves, nor
well-disposed strangers of tne higher order
abroad, will accept our mere assertion as a
philosophic maxim. There is damrer of the
purty ot "t.rand moral ideas" becoming the
party of abfolutisni, ami there is all the greater
danger that our People arc more religious Ju
their habits, more observant ot the strict ser
vices of public worship, and more intolerant of
'nonijrqtessorS,'" than any people in the world.
An unscrupulous sectional majority may
readily, and wiih temporary succeos, u?e this
element to carry out their partisan purposes
without any conscience as to the present, or
consideration (or the luture. And as long as
w e have a republican government it will pro
bably be hard to mnke any headway against
what appears to the larso religious community
among us to be the tib? tract path of justice no
matter what may bo the obstacles lying In that
puth.
Thcgieat political problem seems to be ct
dually resolving into this; Whether minorities
in a republic outfit to have any rights. The Pre
sident has been quietly cherishing the idea that
they have certain rights. Hut the President evi
dently cannot be riant, if the majority are also
right. Thus it is that those who dere to see
this republic strong, not only in its central au
thoritystrong, not alone in the material power
which is wielded by the National Government
but strong a'so and doubly strong in the
aliections ot the whole people, are easer
to see an end to this sectional strife.
It i cannot be maintained long hide it
from ourselves as we may, without inviting
foreign notice mayhap, toreign Insolence.
Where are we to-day, unless this last proclama
tion of Andrew Johnson is truth; and solid
truth? Answer us: If the idiotic sneers of the
loolish Trxhune are true; if Andrew Johnson
has proclaimed Union where there is only mu
tual malice, envy, and all uncharitableness,
what it this republic worth in this year of
grace? Tell us: It this solemn declaration ol
the Executive is affirmed to be a lie how much
stronger, in view of possible complications with
foreign powers, is this country to-day than it
was two years ago ? No one doubts the possi
bility ot making" such n clean sweep of the op
position benches in Congress, a would make
IcgUdation ft mere matter for partisan commit
tees. But many very many do doubt the
expediency or the wisdom ot creating a direc
tory whose decrees shall permanently' override
alike the constitutional veto of the ' Executive
and the solemn decisions of the Supreme
Court.
In such a crisis as this there is nothing that
concerns thoughtful men so deeply, so intensely,
as the rights of the minority in and out of Con
gress. The national question found its solution
in an appeal to arms. Great political lines have
now to be drawn anew. We cannot maintain
isjues which are no longer presentable. And
those who win. for the moment, by mere oar-
tiHan etlort, will mott ossurudly be losers in
tne enu.
The Test Oath Appeals.
from the Laity Nvws.
Our conservative mode of thought impresses
us with tho hiahest ret-pect for the 8upreme
Court of the United Stutes. We pay that body
the homage due to a faithful guardian of the
law. It is, therciore, in to spirit of carping, but
on the contrary, in discharge of an obligation by
no means agreeable, that we take exception to
its course on the subject of the test oath.
The Supremo Court ought, of course, to be
jealous in the guardianship of its own dignity.
Wo should regret deeply to see it expose it -elf
in auy sense unnecessarily to the pu-tious ot
pnrty. But that high tribunal will have abdi
cated one of its most important (unctions when
ever it shrinks lroui its duties of a position
making it virtually the arniur ot parties. - In
deed, one ot tho most beneHcent ends ot the
authority attaching to the Supreme Court cou-
si?U in tho acceptance by that eminent body of
every proper occasion lor the exercise ot that
authority wilh the view of reducing political
conflict witUui the limits of constitutional law.
The decision ot the Supreme Bench in thecaao
of lhe Indiana -'conspirators" ho,s been rendered
to au extent sufficient to nave any unnecessary
delay ot justice. The wrong that has been done
in that case has been, as tar as possible, set
right. But the political duty which that occa
sion presented has been lett tinuiscnargeu; ior
the views ol the Court, on the tubiect generally.
have reen withheld until a more convenient
season, lnvolvimi the rights ot the States, and
oibcr questions pertinent to the revolutionary de
signs ol Congress, tho country has gravo reason
to regret that the Supreme Judges did not avail
themselves, regardless ot any tenderness tor par
ties, of the opportunity thus presented for re
ireshing tne soul of the country with some out
givings ot the spirit of the Constitution.
The test oath presents an instance in which
the 8upreine Bench has not only provttd
wanting to political repose, but also to civil
justice. Eminent citizens ot the United States.
gentlemen learned in tho law, have been denied '
the iurtit to practise in tne Supreme Court by
a lawless edict; and instead oi reiusing to loe
an hour in righting that wrong done under its
eyes, 'nay, that insolent invasion of its own
privileges as a co-ordinate branch, ot the Gov
ernment, the Supreme Court closed the plead
ings without a decision. The wrong done by
that course to gentlemen practising in the court
is not the only, one that has been done
by this particular instance of teuderuuhs
for party. A broad decision on the sub-

The Proposed Impeachment of President
i ' t Johnson. ,
I'rcm (h World, . . .1.. .. . ..
We recently reprinted columns of matter from
the Chicago Tribune, advocating, in a vehement
and acrimonious strain, the Impeachment of
President Johnson, and his rent -val irorn oHiee.
This divulgation of the secret intentions of the
Eadicals is a little eat her nd bolder than we
expected: but we bave for some time been con
vinced that, a -sooil bs the Rantcofls had two
thirds of the Senate, they would immediately
institute procecdintrs (or an Impeachment. We
exprehsed this conviction in our tirst article on
the veto ot the Civil Kmfc s bill, and. were
rudely taken to lark thereior by the Badicul
Ettmnq 1'ont, which, havina.till quite lately
pretended to support the President, ha.) not
been trusted with the secret plana of the liadical
lenders.
, The Chicago Tribune, which leads the way in
advocating impeachment, is the mont important
Republican paper in the West the longest esta
blished, the largest in circulation, the most
potent in influence. It gives the cue to nearly
all the local Republican papers west of Lake
Michigan. It bas been so true and Constant to
the radical cause that its editors are in the con
fidence of the radical, leaders of the national
capital. A political journal holding fruch rela
tions seldom takes bold ground tiom fuere tit
fulness or caprice. The sense ol responsibility
which attaches t euch a position, and the tact
that a representative journal owes its import
ance to the men who act with it, prevent any
display ol the mere idiosyncrasies of. its editors
on subjects of toe lirst magnitude, ,
As a point of party tactics, it would have been
more piudent to conceal tuis design, until alter
the vote on the pending yeto. 11 t.e veto is
unstained, it is idle to talk of impeachment; lor
it requires the same maiority of two-thuds to
convict on impeachment that it does to pass a
bill over tho veto, There may be some Senators
who would vote against the veto, who would
ibrink from seeing things carried to the length
of en impeachment. As a point of tactics, it
might bave been more disci eet to have kept the
main desien veiled until alter the veto is over
come. The fact that the mask is so prema
turely thrown oil, evinces the intense malignity
and earnestness of the President's enemies. Two
or tiree days aco, immediately after the rejec
tion of Senator Stockton, the radicals wero
very confident they were too strong for the
veto; and it w as probably this delusive eoufl
dence that emboldened the Chicago Tribune
to disclose the vltimate design of its party co
ad ju tors. i
We deem it unnecessary to go, at present, into
any elaborate relutation of the areuments
uuaintl the President. The hitch in the New
Jersey Legislature, and the unexpected return
of Senator Wright to W'asluuctcu, disconcerts
the plans and disappoints the hopes of the
mnlinants. It is now next to certain that the
veto will be sustained; and if so, further talk ot
impeachment is lutile, and will be lorcborne.
But it is well that tho Presideut and tne couu
try should understand the virulencu of his
enemies.
There is a supeiflclal smartness in the argu
ment by wnich it is attempted to be proved
that the President is guilty of treason, as one
u round ot impeachment. Treason is made, by
the Constitution, to consist in "levying war
against the United Slates, or iilving aid and
couitort to their enemies." It is argued that
the South are f-til I enemies; and that the Presi
dent's attempt to introduce them into Con
gress, to participate in the legislation ot tne
country, is giving them aid anil comfort.
This argument has enoutrh of plausibility to
prove that the President bas not been pre
mature in proclaiming the end of the Rebel
lion. The ' Supreme Court decided, in an
early ftage of the war erwiuding lis de
cision on President Lincoln's proclama
tions that a territorial war existed between
the United States aud the insurgents; that, in
consequence ot those proclamations, all the
inhabitants of the States and parts of States
therein designated were public enemies; and,
by logical inference, they would continue such
until those proclamations were, in some way,
revoked or annulled. The character thus im
pressed npon.the Southern people was purely
technical, and the Supreme Court has this win
ter disregarded it, by resuming the considera
tion of suits brought from tne Southern States.
Still, the Presideut, as is pltusibly arirued by
the Chicago Iribune, has recojrnized the con
tinuance ol the state of war, by the continued
suspension of the writ of habens corpus, and
other acts whose only justification Is the
existence of Rebellion. The late proclama
tion declaring the end of the Rebellion, takes
from this argument whatever oting it may have
previously had. But it does a great- deal more.
For, it the continued suspension of the habeas
corpus had no other justification tban the con
tinued existence of the Rebellion, it is equally
undeniable that the exclusion ot the Southern
repretentatives could also have no other justifi
cation. The Chicago Tribune virtually admits
tins, in the whole texture ot its argument. The
gist of the argument is, that the Southern re
presentatives cannot be admitted, because the
Southern States are still in rebellion. The Re
bellion being the only valid ground ot exclusion,
the converse of the proposition should hold
equally true, that, the Rebellion having been
lr-eally terminated, there no longer remains any
colorable excuse tor reiusiug to examine the
credentials of the Southern members ol Con-
Biess. .
The other arguments used by the Chicago'
Untune we cannot descend to oisouss. xney
display no semblance of ingenuity, but only
scummy.
