Constitutional Powers.
JFrom th Tribune.
The World quoted Mr. Jeiferon as authority
ior the dlctom that our political system reserves
to the several ta.Pa "every power purely domes
tic," and that
" I ho Vedoral ft, In truth ourfrroipn Government,
rhicn department alone is taieu from tlie tore
leigntv of th Bt',airute 8 atos.'
We mot this with Indlsoutablo citations from
the Constitution itself, wherein porris given
to Coneress to protect inventors and authors
by pntonts nn:l copyrights; to coin money; to
stnblish Post Offices and post roads; and toes
tablish uniform laws on the subject of bankrupt
cies, while, by that same instrument, tne Htates
are forbidden to com money, pass bills of at
tainder, or ex post facto laws, or rnpatr the obli
gations of contracts, etc. Surelv here is cnouph
to prove the World mistaken and Mr. JeMeron
loo in assertinif that "the foreign department,
alone is takn from the sovereignty of the sepa
rate bttites."
Ih; World quotes Mr. Jefferson as writing
from Paris to E. Carrinirton (August 4, 1787)
that ours under the old Confederation was "tho
lst Government existing, or that ever did
exist." That was, dountlcss, Mr. Jefferson's
opinion; but tho country held quite another;
sod this prevailed in the training and adoption
of tho Federal Omaltutlon. Mr. Jefferson fur
ther wrote that:
"My gonoral plan would bo to make the States
nu as U) every i luu? connected with foreign nations,
and soveial as to everything purely domestic."
We haven't a doubt of this. Only it so hap
pens thai Mr. Jefferson did not frame tho Fe1e
ral Constitution, and it was not conformed to
his views, but to thosp of Franklin, Washing
ton, Roper Sherman, Hamilton, Madison, etc.,
which were quite ditiereut. Madinon "after
wards bowed to the magnetism of his personal
ascendancy, and 'wrote the famous Virginia
resolves ol 178!), of which, after Jefferson's
deatb.homr.di so unharp, an attempt to explain
away the meaning, liui the Constitution is oue
thinir, and tho resolves of '93 and '9J quite
another; though Mr. Jefferson ha ?ins; very
positive notions as to what the Constitution
should be, provided we must have a Constitu
tion (which ho didn:t want) afterwards as
sumed, asserted, or argued that the actual Con
stitution was the camel, or weasel, or whale that
he would have had it.
The World is constrained to substitute an
issue ol its own invention for that whereon its
discomfiture is bo palpable. PieinUinjr that cer
tain ol the internal powers accorded to Congress
by the Constitution were eranled to it likewise
by the old Articles oi Confederation, it asks:
"Was ever anybody rash enoutrh or hardv enough
to maintain that the Articles of Coniederation ab
sorbed the domeatio jurisdiction of tne states?"
With a disputant who thug puts into the
mouth ol his antagonist whatever wordspromise
to 6crve his own purpose, we prefer to part
company.
The Loan BilL
From the Time .
The Loan bill, as finally passed, falls far short
of what it should have been to do justice to the
Secretary of the Treasury, or to meet the views
of those who, like him, earnestly desire a spoe iy
return to specie payments. It withholds power
which that oflicer ought to have had conlerred
upon him, and itrestricjts the process of con
traction within limits that render allapprehen
Bion of panic on that frround utterly absurd.
Nevertheless', the new law definitely enacts a
very important principle, and lays the founda
tion of a policy which we hope hereafter to see
applied with much greiter vigor. It does not
meet the reasonable requirements of Mr. Secre
tary McCulloch. But n frustrates the plans of
the inflationists, and imposes restraint upon the
currency of which prudent men cannot fail to
take heed. The contraction possible within the
year Is so small that it will probably be ex
ceeded by the addition to the National Bank
circulation during the same period. But, at
any rate, tho national policy is to be one of
contraction, as opposed to expansion. So much
at least is fixed by the bill. And to this extent
it is a step in the right direction.
It anything else were wanted to reconcile the
country to a measure in itself of comparatively
little value, it would be found in the hostility
shown at every s.aee of its progress through
Concress by the advocates of a currency which,
though not avowedly inconvertible, would be
rendered so by a constant addition to its issues.
Kot one of these ran so far counter to public
opinion as to declare himself iavor-iblc to incon
veitibility as a principle. On tne contrary,
every one of them professed a desire to
promote a resumption of cash payments.
13 ut, aside from their professions, they were
unitedly opposed, first, to the more com
prehensive Dill which, in the main, re
Uected the, -views ot the Secretary, and after
wards to the harmless affair which went through
the Senate on Monday. For their defeat, let us
be grateful. In whatever aspect we are other
wise klpappolnted we know that the paper
money men have received a timely rebuke, and
the speculators a salutary warning. Both were
sadly required to frustrate the teacnings of those
who eontound the excitement of speculation
with the activity of healthy enterprise, and mis
lake the Hood of paper which precedes bank
ruptcy for the ease connected with genuine pros
perity. It is to be hoped that Congress, having
affirmed fa sound principle in regard to rrree.n.
barks, will not be unmindful of the danger that
lurks beneath an unchecked development of the
national vu.uk. eyuem.
The Loan Bill Passed Both Houses ot
Congress.
From the Herald,
This important bill, to enable the Secretary
of tho Treasury to meet the obligations of the
Government about to become due, passed tho
Senute ou Monday in the same form as it passed
the House. There was a pood deal of discussion
upon tne bill, those opposed to it arguing
chiefly that too much power was placed in the
bands of the Secretary, especially with rerard
to contracting the currency. Mr. Sherman
obiected to it on this ground. He thougat it
gave the Secretary too much power to contract
the currency, which might put an unnecessary
strain upon the commercial world, and that no
man ouent to nave this power. Ho maintained.
too, that every citizen outrht to kuow hotv
much currency is in circulation at any
time. The objections of Mr. Sherman and
a Tv, a n hUn ar0 8od in principle,
uu uuu a luiv-iuiB application to tne bill as
oriElnally reported to th Hnnao. hut
Amended bill, as now passed, la relioved almot
cuiu-eijr oi mese oogenous. The Secretary
punei ui retiring more than
vjkuiucu minions oi greenbacks before Con
gress will meet and can lake further action
upon the subiect next winter. This small
amouiir, Miouiu no even withdraw it, would
scarcely b3 felt. His power,ttherefore. In this
respect, is vcrf limited, Ou the whole, we
think tne bill n a sale one, and U not likely to
cause any disturbance ia the business of the
country. Tho careful legislation of Congress
on the important matter of our Bnunces and
currency must be giutiivine to the country. If
lur.r body would ouiv be as nrudont aud cun
drrvuuve on fctnciiy poimrai. questions our
htotioual troubles would scon end. We hone
It will make ihe same progress towards cor
reel, statesmanlike views in that re-poet as It
is making on toe question of national nuance
nd the currency.
tTiln connection with this sullect we notieo.
loo. that Mr. Sherman introduced a bill ia ihe
K( nstn u Monday to equalize tho distribution of
the uutional bank currency, and to limit the
whole amourt to the original three hundred
millions that Is, instead ot hm reaslng this de
scription ol currency to supply th rieTunrt of
tho southern States or new States anl Ter
iitone, to take lrom the S.wtes that have
an undue proportion and utve it to thoso 1hat
have none or a le: proportionate amount. This
to another etc)) In the rieht direction. Mr.
Sherman sees tne necessity of limiting the
Amount of paper money, and especially ot
this national bank Issues at ibe same time
he opposes such a contraction as may disturb
the business and values of the vountry. It would
bo better to supersede this so called national
batik currency by legal tender creenbacks, or by
a bona fhle national currency ismied solely in the
same of the Government and on its credit, for in
that way the Government, and not private
monopolies, would get the benetit of the circula
tion; but it is some prOvTesin the right direc
tion to limit this naiional bauk currency, ana it
is but fair io equalize the distribution ot it. The
bill was referred to the Commit tee on Finance,
and we have some reasou to expect it will be
favorably considered.
' The Loan Bill.
From the World.
The new Loan bill, which has pa-sod both
Houses, and, only awaits the President's signa
ture to become a law, Is of so much interest that
we reproduce it with a prominence due to its
importance:
An act to amend an act cnt itled an act to provide
ways and means to support tho Uovernmont, ap
proved March 8, 18(i6.
lie it enacted ov the Senate and Home of Repre
sentatives oi the United Stales of America, in Con
giees assembled, Xuat tne aot entitled an act to pro
viuewavs and means to support the Government,
approved .March 3, 18G5, shah be extended and con
strued to authorize the Secretary oi the Treasury at
bis discretion, to rccuive any treasury notes or other
obligations h-buco- unuer any act of Congress,
whether bearing interest or not. in exchange tor
any description ot bonds authorized by the aot to
which ton is an amendment, aud aiso io dispose ot
any description of bonds authorized by paid act,
either in the United States or elsewhere, to such an
mount, m such manner, and at such rates as "lie
may think, adv saolo, lor lawlul money ot the United
States, or for any treusuiy notes, certificates oi in
debtedness, or certificates oi tieoosit, or other re
pro entati v. s of value which have been or may be
i8ued under any act oi Courress, the proceeds
thereof to be used only ior retiring treasury notes,
or other obligations issued under any act ol Con
erew". But nothing herein contained phall be con
strued to authorize anv increase of tho public uebl;
provioed that of the United Mates notes not more
Uiau ten millions ol dollars may lie retired and can
celled withm six montbaitroin the pasiago of tins
act. and thereafter not ' ore 'han four mi lions of
dollar in any one month And ptovided, iunher,
that the act to wlnen ini'ls uu omondmeut Fball
coutii.ue in force in all its provisions, except as
modified by this act
beet ion 2. And be it lurthor en ictod, That the
Secretary of the 'lreaaurv soul I rupor. to Congress
at the commencement of the uwxt session the
amount of exchange made or money borrowed
under this act, aud of whom, and on what terms,
aud also tho amount and character ot iudubtedues
retirefl under tins act and the act to whioii this is un
amendment, with a detailed statement ot the ex
pense ot making such loans and oxchango.
The bill cives the Secretary much less power
than he persistently masked lor, aud less than
bo ought to have. There are two thincs of
the Erst consequence for which ellicient pro-
ision ought to be made, viz., such a reduction
ol the currency as will restore spewie pay
ments, and a preparation to meet the cu
pngemcuts of the Government maturing in
imi ana iis. xne out wnicn nns oassea
contributes little to either. It restrains
the Secretary iroui witndrawing mora than
ten millions of greenbacks within the
flit six months after its passage, or
more than lour millions a month there-
alter. The six months extend to about the
middle ot October, and the two ensuing
months will overlap the next meeting of Con
gress. The currency, then wnicn (including
the national Dan it notes) consists ot a Done
seven hundred ana nity millions (twice or
thrico what it was blore the war), cau be re
duced not quite eighteen millions ot dollars up
to the time of Mr. McCul loch's next annual
report. The Secretary will doubtless use all
the little power given liini; but Ihe currency,
during tne eurnt montus, win Deretucea less
than two and ajhalf per cent. Curtailment,
thoueh imperceptibly slow, is, ot course, better
thauiutther expansion; but a businessman buy-
ins or manufacturing goods to sell six months
ahead, always calculates on a muh larger
margin ot pro tit tu.m two per cent., ana so
slow a contraction wtu oo nine to reuner
people cautious. Congress seems blind to the
fact that the country has other things to do
than the purchase and salf. or manufac
ture and sale, of consumable commodities.
There are thousands of enterprises in tho
character ot permanent investments, whoso
returns must come in luture years. The open
ing ot new mines, the building of new ma
chinery, the erection of ne houses the con-
ptructiou ot new railroads, are Kinas ot business
which differ lrom current mercantile transac
tions, In that the money invested now will bring
its returns several year nence. ii tne currency
were restored to the specie basis, tne house or
the lailrond built now would cost about the
same as those built five years hence, and there
would be no great rise in tne undertaking, uut
it men build now what can be built thirty per
cent, cheaper in I8(i9, they woujd do better to
keep their money and apply it to some other
use. ine restraint put on toe secretary u
purely in the Interest of the trading and specu
lating classes, who alone are benefited by con
tinuing the inflation.
Jext vear tne seven-tninies oecm to lau one.
and before the close of the year lollowlng, they
will all have matured. Ol these, there are nine
hundred and rilty millions; but although Secre
tary Mcculloch leeis a wise solicitude at tue
appalling amount, Congress is stupidly careless,
or. what is worse, in league with the vat specu
lating interests who are laying thiur plans to
make several minions out oi tne coming cmuar
rassmcDt of the Government.
President Johnson's Action.
From the Daily Kcwa.
Tho tinal Congressional action upon the Civil
Eights bill proves that the power of radicalism
is absolute in the National Capitol. A faction,
ambitious, fanatical, unscrupulous, has usurped
a monopoly of central legislation. A factitious
majority, created by a plain violation of the
principles and laws ot our political systom,
exercises its will in defiance of right and reason,
and, by lorce, fraud, and political intrisue,
attempts to paralyze the Executive arm, aud to
destroy the baluuco ol authority in tne several
branches ot the Federal Government. Eleven
States of the Union and millions of American
citizens are wrongfully, and in palpable antago
nism with tho provisions of the Constitution,
withheld from reptcseniauon in tne iNaiionui
LeciHlnture; withheld tor the purpose ot secur-
ii g to the usurping taction the political ascend
ancy that tuey use ior tuo ageranuizoiuem ui
their own party, and for the consummation of
paruau schemes, wiio-e accompiisumeut woiuu
lead to anarchy and the overthrow oi republi
canism.
This is revolufon. It is treason more dan
serous than armed rebellion against the consti
tuted authorities. It ls.il successful, death to
the body politio by poison, more fatal than open
conflict in the fields ot war. It is the treason
of demagogues airainst not only the organic
laws of the Republic, but aeuinst the seLti
ment ot tho people misrepresented and out
raged by those into whose hands convul
sion aiid civil strife have thrown a political
cot trol abhorrent to the nature of our Insti
luti ns. It the radicals pass this criBis, and
n tuiu their supremacy, they retain it up to
thnt period when the people shall oppose the
usurpation with such weapons a are the last
resource of freemea a painst tyrants. Muotthe
country await an appeal to that last tribunal t
there no remedy againtt revolution except a
plivBieal opposition to the revolutionists? Is
the republic, exhausted aud impoverished by
dr. mesne contention, to be plunged again Into
ti e vortex of civil strife 1 Forbid it, guardian
s irlt of republicanism 1 whose miniatiatljn wa
luvoV.e to inspire the Chiei Magistrate of the
lit public aud the people, ol whose liberties he is
to-day (he inott conspicuous chsniplon, to inspire
him and them with a moral influence to check
sod overthrow the conspirators ns'ilnst the
most precious attributes ot our national exist
ence. What, then, is to be done? The demagogues
oult to-day in their triumph over the Execu
tive. The success of their treachery and usurpa
tion will make them still more arrogant aud
recklcs. and will eive their ambition wines to
oar townrds a confirmed absolutism. They
must be met new, in the hour of their victory,
by measures prompt and decisive, that wilt
fettle Iho issue and leave the field permanently
in the possesBlon of one or the other party.
There must be a moral trial of strength between
Jihtand wrong, between u.-urpation and legiti
mate autboritv, between faction ana tue execu
tive, supported by the people. The Prcsid"nt, in
hi present position. Is a mere puppet. Eleven
States and their populations. Silenced and out-
lantdby redical dictatorship, have been kept out
oi the an na. Their wcl are. their saiety, tneir
very political luc depend, upon tne isue in the
settlement of hich they are denied all voice
nnd DLrticinotlon. Thcv nave tne rignt to repre
sentation in the national legislature. It is the
duty ol the President to protect them in the en
joyment oi that right. The vindication of great
principles, the interests of the people, the tn-
tecfity of the TjDion. the very essence of the
lit public, in a word, the enforcement of the
Executive policy ol restoration, demands tbat
the representatives of tho Southern Statos and
people should immediately asume their otucial
functions should take their seats at once In the
Senate Chamber and Hall of Representatives in
the canttoi ct the united states.
The radicals cSppore their admission. Thv
oar tne doors. They stana armed wun stolen
and unlaw lul weapons to dispute the passage of
duly elected members of Congress to their
rchtful sea's in the National Legislature.
Then why does not the Chiel Magistrate of
the republic interpose his authority to pre
vent this outrage ncalnst the representatives
of the States and of the people? He has the
power to do so. He is Commander -in-Chief
of the armies of the United States, and has at
his disposal an armed and disciplined force
amply sufficient to preserve tho peace at the
sent of government, and to emorce obedience
to the laws beneath the roof of the Capitol
of the republic. Let a day be fixed ior the
representatives of the Southern States and
people to take their seats in Congress. The
seats are there ready to receive the rightful
claimants. Let them enter, take possession of
their own, and fulfil their official lunctions.
Should violence be oll'eied them by any man, or
number ot men, under any pretense whatsoever,
let the President send a detachment of Federal
troops to preserve order in tho Capitol. If
radical cout-piiatois attempt to support their
UMirpution by lorce, the consequences be upon
their bends. It is time that the republic should
nave a complete ami eonstiTutionai national
Legislature. We have been ruled too long by
faction. We have been tco lonir subert to the
cnpilct of fanatics. Tho country must be per
mitted to resume its normal condition, and if
revolutienists stand in the ay, the Executive
arm is s:rou9 enough to sweep them from the
path oi restoration.
President Johnson, yon have issued your pro
clumation ot peace, you have declared insur
rection to bo at an end. You have decided that
the Southern Siatns are entitled to rep:esenta-
tion in Congress. Give us, then, uir republi
canism. Restore to the pi litical system the
attributes thai belong to it. Let not a leasue of '
dcmatroirues destroy our form of oovernment.
The Constitution, you say, is your guide; then
compel obedience to the provisions of the Con
stitution, by w hich all the States of the repub
lic are entitled to representation in the National
Leeisloture. Proclamations and mcssaues will
not avail you. Words cannot subdue rovolutnn
in the ft.ll tide of its Biicefs. Your remedy is
force againt-t iraud ; action against conspiracy.
You are sure of popular support; whatever ot
moral influence or ol material strength is with
the people, you can command. Their instincts
ot sell-preservation, their intelligence, t'jelr
patilotlsm, tench them that your theories are
right; now, show them tliat you have the nerve
to make good your theories by action.
