Time and occasion ofion thanpe wrath into felicity, liowever; and it President Johnson has any ollice lian'jing heavily on hie hands he can find grcj' hur.KH iu abundance to relieve him. It is not lor the mere love of office that we scold the po:r Rebels. The hope ol cettinj; the liirecst amount ot pay for the stnalleHt ntujunt ol work, which l'ei at the bnsis of oiliee-love, is as ardent in the hearts of the manly Southerners anion? the Democrats of Tumu'uiny Hull, or the eleemosynary editor of starvina ncwspiipers. Vfc do piotest mildly but firmly against llio hchcine now pervading the licbel press of en tirely destroying Congress, abolishing the Judi-c-iary, reducing the army, and placing us under the care ot Mr. Andrew .Jobinon. We no not make this protest from personal dislike to Mr. Johnson It we arc to bo owned by one man, perhaps he will be k ud to us aa any person else, and eo that we Jiave work and le'ed and clothps. We do not iare to doubt Mr. Johnson's willingness to enter upon the task. Our worthy Pre3iuent has never been especially censurable lor the absence of a willingness to do anything that pleased him. The change would bo economical. We should Hot have immense printinar bills to pay long t'Olumua of gab trom vulunblo Representatives cartload ot Globe:, and reports, and other printed paper, which go to dcvelope the country-'rocery and trunk-liniutr interest, an ex tended judiciary s -stem, with thp inexhaustible following of marshnls, and clerks, and criers, and jailors not to speak of tho mure telpgia- Iihic bills wr are compelled to iuppt every morn i.g tor long speeches. vVe have no doubt Johnson could run the machine for hull-cost; and, bv fMi-inbsinir half of our officials, the demand for labor in the "Western territories would be Inrircly met. Tbero might be some hard feeling among thoso gentle men of the (Senate and House who would, of necessity, according to the News' plan, be banged a8 "Peuediut Arnolds." But, of course, we cannot please everybody. The summary execution ot Sumner, ' Stevens, and Phillips would unavoidably be conceded Mr. Sumoer lias no Children, and would, therefore, leave no inconsolable widow to mourn his loss. Thart teus Stevens is quite an old ttan, and a little banging would only anticipate the destiny which all of us must contemplate at the age of three score and ten. As for Mr. Phillips, his not being hanged is one ol those anomalies in Ame rican civilization which the President owes it to his country and his God to reform. We could wlsu it in the interests of oratory. Wendell wi uld make us a good speech far ahead ot .Emmett's.we have no doubt and dying speeches, irst-class. are hard to get. The rope around the neck might add unusual pathos; but the tears would be pardoned to the singularity of associa tion. Wo began this article intending to be very severe upon those geutlemen who were pro posing to do away with Congress, abolish the Supreme Court, ovprthrow our liberties, and pluce us In he hand.i of a , well, wo will not be harsh! We intended to rebuke these vilocoospi rutors, as men whom etrth would refuse to hide, whose very dust would poison the worm, with several other very tine and striking phrases. But, as happens to all fair minds, the close analysis of the subject has compel led us to pause. Providence made A. J. President. Should we not improve on Providence, and make him Dictator? Why all this red-tape and iuss about Congress and Courts? It would, have taken Congress ten jears to agree uoou a procla mation like tuat declarlng"Peace" a proclama tion so self-evident, that we were eurprieed it bad not beennado six months ago. Cavilling people have said that it meant nothing that it no more made peace than an almanac makes sun.mer. But this falsehood we have triumphantly exposed by showing that, in the matter of rations alone, it save the country trom $250 to $3 per day.. Can other Presidents say as much I It requires but a hasty calculation to short' that at this rate the President would only have to lssuo 247, h91 proclamations a day tor ten years to pav oil the 'hole public debt an enterprise which any public-spirited man, especially when he had the iob of inanngiag tho United States, would not hesitate to undertake. We are becoming so enraptured with this scheme, that unless we chanco the subject and tloe our article, we shull Und ourselves goinr as tar as the veriest Copperhead in favor of A. J., chasing Congress out ol tbe Capitol, and dpcoratius the grounds around the White House "with the ewavintr bodies of Mr. Sumner, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Stevens. How eointorUblc it would be to rest forever in Andrew's gentle bo.-om, with no care, no flections, no taxes, nothing to vex us I It miirht annoy us to find all the Presidential spoils going to the New, and the 14 ord, and the Ireemnris Journal; but whe that time comes we shall no longer print the Tribune, for the duties of this paper are to end wiifc the millennium, and we shall no lousier irei ovet eudless editorials, ami ceaseless narrations of new, and vain etforts to improve and ennoblp the world. We Khali be in that extreme felicity of pose of which Mr. Seward is regarded as the most conspicuous living representative, wherein every thing is altogether lovely while the ausorine bird occupies a con spicuous position. The Rtinment ot this will teiminate our humble work, and consummate every earthly desire. Tbe South and its Friends -Tim raise and the Tiue. From the Timet . The ex-Rebel Vice-President, Mr. A. gte. phens, entertains views in reference to the duty of the Southern people which differ widely from those inculcated by the ultra Democratic jour nals of the North. The II orl'l would have the President nullify a law which happens not to meet Its approval; and what the President may disregard, the people cannot bo expected to respect very conscientiously. This is the logical result of our contemporary's teaching.;It means thp annulment of a law constitutionally enacted, or it means nothing. If by the President, be cause infringing upon the rights of States, why not by the executive or judiciary of the States T Aud it by these, why not bv the people of the BUtes, should the President or the local autho rities not come up to the standard pronounced proper by the Woridt Tho Dai'y News does not Vdtate to say bo In plain terms. It dons not ni'nce matters atVr the fashion of the World. What it thinks It speaks; what it means it says. Aud this la what it said about the Civil Bights bill yesterday : The paiwaj-e or the Civil Klirhti bill bv the revo-lutiouarj- as-etublios at Washington, is ptetended by the radical to bo a sixth instance of 'ho enactment el a law bv Concrress, 'notwithstaiidin-r the i'reni i ut' objections. It u to be seen whether this In famous prp'onsfon is to be reco"niwd by tiio Proat- ; dent ; or, it he shall lack the iirmnpas and the i couraro to roit it, whether tho people tbomtolve will submit to It." There is room for mistake here. "It I to be seen whether the people will themselves submit ( to'' a law which the President may "lack the . firmness and the cournge to resist," Which we ! take 1 3 be a polite way of incitina said people to resist the law, by force if necessary. i While journals w hi 'h vie with each other iu their bids tor Southern circulation thus en- , deavor to foster disaffection, and to promote and , jutlfy another rebellion, Mr. A. II. Stephens entertains the conviction that thp people of the ! South should arid his belief that they will : accept and obey the law in trood tilth. Upon j this point tho H'oWri's Washimton correspondent , shall bo our witness. In a despatch oriii'cd Thursdav, purporting to epitomize Mr. Stephens' testimony belcre the Rncoiistruction Coium:tco, concerning affairs in (leoigia, these seuteucea ; occur: "Solar a he wss capable of Judging-, the people i willinclv accented the dw condition ot afl un which the Kchollion had brought about. Hp said rp (iiO not belie vo thorn wan auy conniderablr nuni- i tor ol persons in the South who woro not iu tavor 1 ot carry In (f out to tbe lulloit extent their obligations to tho Govern ment. He thoueht ibe passage ol the J Civil Birhts bill ovrr tbe veto would nave a good , cltcct, tor it wou d indicate to the people In the honth the temner and determination oi the doml- I nunt party In Congress." Instead of recommending the people amonsr j whom he lives, and whose lot be shares, to i violate tho law, Mr. Stephen would have them I piomptly aud cheerfully submit tj it, even i though It be thp Civil Rights bill. He desires J that Ihpy shall interpret that bill as an trillion- ; tion of the "temper and determination" which ! predominate in Contrress touehing the civil , rights of the frccdmcii; his evident hope beintr I that the btatcs incmseives will meet the views of Congress, und so avoid collision. Mr. Stephens wants no more nulliiication uo more Rebellion, lie accepts "tho new condition ol alfairs," with all its consequences, and attributes the smne sen- : wb disposition to tue great majority of the citi- I zt-ns ot his State. I Herein, then, are the true and the false friends Of the South made niunii'cbt. The no'sy Demo- 1 crats ot the North, speaking throueh their jour- ; mils, recommend to the South a line of conduct which, bv brinzinir it afresh into conllict with the national authorities can but add to its uiorti- ' fictttion and its misery; and they do this simply ; ana solely to lurtuer their own imrnsiui ends, i The true men ot the South, on the contrary, sub- j muting honorably to tne cxiecncic-s ol the situa- ; tion, are anxious that tnere shall be no imsun- ' derstnnuing on the Dart or the people ns to thu j conditions entailed upon them as consequences j ot the wiir. They recommend cheirliil obedience I to tbe law, and loyal adhesion to the National (ioverument. The dille.-ence between ihct-vo : classes their relative right to give advice, and their relative degrees of interest in the moment oiis problem to be worked nut will uii(iiesiion- j ably be ritrhtly estimated in the South, between the pcacciul', hopelul views of Mr. A. II. Stephens, ano the gloomy predictions and the I rebellious recommciidatious ol the Daily News i and tho Iloco', the Southern people- arc not likely long to hesitate. The case is not inapily illustrated in the ' Southern Slates themselves. The most trust- j worthy visitors to that section concur in ' representing the ex-Rebel soldiers, oilieers and I nieu, as almost uniloi'inly contented aLrt loval. Having fought bravely' ouaint the tJovern nient, they now as determinedly yield to its authority. The malc-ntents are tlie men who never exposed their bodies 10 a bullet, and women to whom reflection does not Habitually belong. So, while the South, as a sec'.ion, submits to lute wirn n comparatively cueeriul spirit, and is fireparing to woik out its redemption under the aw, these Northern Democrats, of the school of our contemporaries, insist that the ttnurirle shall be renewed by tho South, and actually again promise Northern assistance. What care they tor dangers ibey CHretullv shunned, and siillerings tney do not share? Let wno will in the South act upon their suggestions, they are sale. They contemplate revolution, desire it, are working tor it; but the prudence which kept them out of harm's way dunns the war now over, would preserve f'hem should war be re newed. Theirs is zeal of thp cheap sort. More Southern than the Southerners tuemselvos.they are playing the game of a heartless partisan ship, using the Southern question merely lor political effect here, aud striving to develop trouble that they may profit by its chances. We give the Southern people credit for more sense thiiD is implied in the appeals addressed to them by the Daily News and the World. De ceivedcruelly, wickedly deceived by .Northern Democrats of the Copperhead species, before the war and during its progress, they will know the exact vulue ol the counsel which they are c alled upon to follow. We look for a response somewhat like this: "You Northern gentlemen w ho profess devotion to Southern rights have been tried and found wanting. You urged us into war five years ago. You told us to tight on, and on, and on, until we could tight no longer. And now that wo have been vanquished, and have rerurncd to our old allegiance with a conviction, that duty, interest, and honor impel us to cultivate a genuine loyalty, you assure us that we are outraged, that we must fight again, und that you will help us. We don't believe you, gentlemen. We have learned that you are hypocrites, cowards, tricksters, aDd therefore decline to receive your counsel. We have no idea of being used for your paltry partisan pur poses. If there must be more fighting, we leave you to undertake it, and to experience its con sequences." But Those terrible radicals who oppose Presi dent Johnson, and pass Negro Sufiruge bills and Civil Rights bills think you the South will mocumb to them ? Well, the South may be supposed to have some memory. And among its recollections there are probably three circumstances which cert tin Northern Democrats would tain have forgotten. One i"; that immediately after the close of fhe war, the Dai'y News undertook the advocacy of negro suffrage, and advised the Southern people to concede it quickly end graciously. Another, tlint but for Democratic representatives, the Howe could not have passed the bill conterring the suffrage upon negroes in the District of Columbia. Aud vet anotner, thut Democratic members of the House have again and again refused to co-opeiaie with the Conservative Re publicans in siijiportof the President; preierring to help the radicals, under the belief that exist ing diflicnlties might thereby be rendered more formidable. On the whole, therefore, we tLlnk that when the South balances its accoun with Northern politicians, and makes up its mind as to the respective merits of those who call themselves its triends, it will count among its worst ene mies those who hold the views ot which the Daily News and the World are the recognized expouents. Highly Important Intelligence from Spain Valparaiso to be Bombarded and the War Against Chili and Her Allies Abandoned. Frotn the llcrald. The last Southampton steamer which arrived at this port brought private intelligence of starring import to the Pacific coust States en. gaged Q the war with Spain, and of great inte rest to uncivilized nations. On the rub of March an officer of the Spanish navy, suppled to have been Rear-Admiral Isqulerdo, leitJouthampton, with posicive orders to bombard Valparaiso, and then, withdrawing to Montevideo, , abandon as fruitless the war against the allies, a. Chilian bearer of des patches lett New YorV 0n tho 11th instant for Aspinwall, bearing thl important intelligence to the Chilian authorinc. The Spaniards, despaW at thelr inability to continue the war in the Pacific, and chagrined at the repeated reverses wna which their in adequate navy has met, hav resorted to this treacherous and barbarous 0l ending the war which they so loolishly beu. The bom bardment ot Valparaiso as a measure of mere revenge would be not only barbarous and im politic, but highly criminal. The city u de- fenseless, not a gun being mounted to protect it. It is the most important port oud cite on tne Sotifh Pacific coast, has a population of 611,0110 natives and 10,0110 foreleners. and is tho enircpot for all central South America. The greater pnrt of tho citv, called the Puerto, i owned by foreigners principally English, Oer msns, and Americans and the palace of tbe Int. noeucla, the Mercantile Kxchanae. tho Post Office, nd tho Custom Houe storrno ises all 1 e within rhort ranee ol vessels in the harbor, ana in case of bombardment cannot fail to bo destroyed, together with three or lour hundred millions ot property. The sacrifice of life in such nn event would b incalculable, for not one-hull of the population could leave the city. These lads render this intelligence important to our own rountiy and ol her neutral powers, and call for action in the matter. It remains to be seen it ihe commanders ot the American und Frgl'sh fleets will consent to tlu perpetra t on ol such a cowardlv and wanton outrage. Commodore Rodec is, commanding the special squadron, and Commodore Pearson, command intf the Pacific equiidion, are now in the vicinity of Valparaiso, und little doubt remains that they will both not only protest against but prevent the ccmnnesioii of secli a crime. It is reported that Comodore Roilge.-s has written to a friend in Washins ton Ih.'it nothing would give lnm greater pleasure than to receive orders to fink the Numatma, which, he declares, the Mthddnock can do with case in five minutps. At any rate, such nn net on the part of Spain would not go long unpunished. It would arouse f hejias sionsofthealliesund Inspire then; to carry tho vor hoire to Spani' li cities, aud Spanish commerce wocld be driven trom tbe sea by Chilian priva teer", bu It in the neutral ports of nations whose sympathies such .in act wou'.a justly awaken. Si i h un act would rob Spain not only ot what litile ol the respi-ct of other people she vet pos sesses, but would at once place lier without the pale ol civilized nutions. i:nioi-ement ol the Civil Rights Kill. from the H ord. The Time niisrepre'ruts u iu al vising the Picutdciit toiefuse to enforce the Civil Rights bill. This misrepresentation is inexcusable. True, in our issue of April 2, we threw out some observations on tbe obligation of the President to execute nn unconstitutional law; but we took Cains to show that tho question had no imme diate relation Id the Civil Rights bill. A writer min t be iguortmt of the j.rovislons of the bill to suppose that such remarks could have such an application. The department intrusted by the bill with the ( iilorcetiipnt ol its provisions, is not the Execu tive, but the Judiciary tout is to suv, the Judges of the Circuit Courts, ihn Judges oi'the District Courts, and the Commissioners by them appointed. There are "niajo" iu the bill for tie Presideul, but no muni. Ilo "uiriv" em power other persons than the olcers mentioned in the bill, to commence prosecutions, nud he "lnny,"' ii he deems it necessary, order the .Incises to hold special sessions of ibeir courts nt usual places, t-ki iHr ns re-hues to tha ('resi dent, there is iii the bill not lung mandatory, but only permis-ive. We suited fhis, with period detunes-, in the article to which the wrl'er in the '(')( alit'oes; but es he knew nothing of tho bill, he SA.V ns little of the bearing ot our remarks us n niiin doiu blind would of a dis course on colors. The enforcement of the Civil R'ghts law devohirg upon the Judiciary, it belongs to the Judicial y o determine whether it is constitu tional. The Piesiticnt had to net on it in decid ing whether he wouir.1 sig,i it, and, believing it unconstitutional, he riglitly need on his own views, and sent it buck with his veto. Tho same power ot independent .judgment exercised by the Presiueiit wai also exercised by tne two Houses of Congress, who decided tho constitu tional question for themselves according to thoir view. Tho President was not bound bv tneir intorDrctution of the Constitution, nor they by his; nor are the courts bound by either. in point of fact, there is no machinery for the execution ol the Civil Rights bill; nor can therp be any till Congress surrenders its views, and adopts those of the Presidpnt. The execution ot the law is committed to the Judiciary, and 11 ejudiciary system is not in operation in the excluded States. Why is not Jefferson Davis tried Because Chief Jusfice Chase alleges that there are no United States courts in Virginia competent to try him. The radical Chief Jus tice lias refused to hold bis circuits in Virginia, on the ground that it is not a properly organized State; and it is only in States that the United States courts can be held. It is entirely true that If Virginia is only a Territory, or it it stands to Government in the same relations us a Territory, it cannot have Hip benefit ot the Federal Judiciary system. The United States Courts aud the Territorial Courts are organized on entirely different and incompatible systems. Tne Constitution declares that the "judicial power of the United States shall tbe vested in one Supreme Court and such interior Courts as the Congress mav, from time to time, ordain and establish. The Judges both of tbe Supreme and interior Courts shall hold their ollices during good behavior." The Judges ot the Territorial Courts never hold otlice during good behavior; their commissions heing temoorarv. generally running tor a period ol 4 years. Chiel Justice Marshall said, speaking of Territorial Oourtst "These Courts, then, are not Constitutional louns. in winch the ludicial power conferred by the general Government can be deposited. They are iucapuble of receiving it. The Civil Rights bill give to Territorial courts, as well as the Circuit and District courts of the United States, authority to enforce it; but neither system is in operation In the ex cluded States. The United States Chief Justice assigns as a reason tor not holding courts therein, that some legislation by Congress is necessary, if those Mates are to bo treated as Territories, a Territorial judiciary must be pro- video lor them, and then the Civil Rights bill tan be executed. Or if tho radical Chief Justice and the other radicals abandon their grouna and admit thut tbey are States, and the courts are held ia them as ot old, then also there will be a chanco ot its execution. Hut the new law will lie a dead letter in toe statute book, until the radicals either vield their ground, or take fui ther and final steps for de grading the States into Ter.itorle. A law, w hich, by its own terms, depends on nie judi ciary for enforcement, obviously cannot be on forced vniil there is a judiciary of some kind, either redcral or territorial, to cxcciile it. We Stand by the Constitution. From the Daily Nt w. The Tribune, the Times, the Herald, ' Tray Blanche, and Sweetheart," bark at u. Our leading editorial of Wednesday has spurred the radicalism of the Tribune, pierced the thin con servative cuticle of the Times, and given the Iltrald an opportunity to strike a new attitude in its mountebank journalism. The Tribune says : "The unchanged, unhanged Rebels, who edit the Dai y News, lire determined not to rest until tbey shall have relighted the flames of civil war." We appeal to the intelligence of the people and ask; Who are those that threaton to relight the flames of civil war. If not those Incendiaries who are attempting levolution by withholding the Southern States and their people from representation in the National Legislature, tor the purpose of subverting our form of government and changing the organic law ot our political system? Do tbe radicals dare to pretend that they are actuated by a de sire to reconcile the sections 1 rroin tne verv hour when actual conflict in the field ceased they have done their utmost to incite the victors to vindictiveness; to goad and provoke the van quished, and to prevent the seeds of peace and concord from germinating in the blood v furrows ot war. Ihey talk of relighting the flames of civil war l it u inetr crime that tney oondemn, Their demagogues have done little else in Con gross than stir the ashes ol civil strife, in the hope ot finding one spark with life enough to be rekindled, into a Diaze. We asked in our anneal on Wedneodiv th:it the President ot the United States should protect duly elected members of Congress acalnst the violence ot a Inchon, in the f xerolso ot their functions as representative? of States, find ol constituencies ot American citizens. To this the Tribune, in its atlectatlon of senten tatiousness, auswe-rs: iwtMARKS The Federal .Constitution (Art 1. 5 t). aaja: rjifh House shnli be tbo jiidiro of the oleotions. returns, and qiialitlcations ol ns own oicmbirt." We make no objection to that, ltlsapnvl- :on of the Constitution of the United States, n.i instrument that wo respect so much that our hid quarrel with tue radicals is. that tbey Ig nore it. "l-.nch House rnaii oe tne iholp ot tne lections, returns, and qualiiica'ioni ot it-, own meinlKTs.'' Now, let us examine the Constitu tion Inrthir to nscirtaln hut constitutes a House" of the rooeml Congress huvimr the rovers aboe meiilior.ed.

Senate or House of Repre sentatives that is, according to the require ments ol the Con-titution, qualified to exercise the functions o' u I'tdevnl Congress except upon the supposition that eleven States have been withdrawn or elected from the f ederal Union. It the radicals formed their theory upon the siiiipo-lili.ii that thee eleven States ure out ot the Union, we admit that their practice is in coniormity with thtir theory. But. in vindica tion ot the theory tint we advance, that the in tegrity ol the Union has not been destrove.l, that the component parts ot the republic" are to-oay in their political essence by right and in met what tney were previously :oihe outbreak oi hostilities, we assert mat the pre-eut Con gress is deficient hi certain esscutiul attributes required by tbe Coi stitutiou, and is. constitu tionally, not a Congress. And it anything fur ther were requisite to make good oiir position. it is furnished in Article V ol the Constitution. that sas; "io St ve without its consent, shull be deprived ot lis equal tutiragein the Senate.' ve will cot take me trounie ot com ball mr the sophistries ot the shifting, unprincipled J.enha; hut since the Junes l as assumed the outwsud show of conservatism, we will give it an answer. Hie limes taLes tlie ground that theAeus, In lis edi'orial of Wednesday, pro fesses the championship ol Southern interests. We do so, inasmuch as theSouth is a partol our Common countiy, and the protection of South ern itnercsts is essential to ihe welfare ot the republic. Hut. in insisting upon the admission ol the Southern Stales 1o representation in Con gress, we scre no sectional interests. We ure iu this the advocates of pr.eip es who-e triumph is a-precious to the North as to the South. It is i lie life of the very essence of republican ism t'd wuieh we contend. We demand that all the States of the Repudtc shall be represented in the .Notional Legislative, and that every Amencan citizen shall have a vi ice aud a vote. according to his constitutional privilege, iu iu- nuenciug tlie machinery ot central Uovernment. Should tliiB be denied, the wione is no less to tbe North than to the South, it strikes at the foundation ot tbe political fabric beneuth which shelter tne millions oi the common country. We Eay those that a.-jemble in the Caritol at Washington, and go through the tonus oi central legislation, do net constitute a Congress iu accordance with the provisions ot tbe Constitution. That Congress lacks the element of lepresentatlon liom deven States ot thp Union. The deficiency is owinj to tbo usurpation of tbe radicul faction. It is tho President's dutv to oppose that usuiimtion. and to exercise his authority, even though it involve the lullilment ol his functions us Commander- in-Chlt lot the aimics of the republic, in securing to ins country a complete and constitutional National Legislature, it he can do it bv moral Influence so much the better.
