Reconstruction.
JFromVte Tribune.
The twtimon.y of A.' IE Stephens, as printed
clap where, will be read wilh a peculiar interest.
The secoud officer In the Confederacy but al
wajs regarded as a reluctant Rebel possessing
the confidence of the good men of the South
more thoroughly than any of their leaders, his
words nave more than ordinary meaning. He
tells ns that an overruling aiorlty of the people
of Oeorpia are now wUllntr to accept the results
of the war In all their fulness, to become loyal
citizens, and abandon forever any claim to exer
else ihe right of Secession. That experiment in
a failure, and If nothing else deterred them the
memory of the dreiidiul war would be sullicient.
Emancipation is accepted by the people in good
faith. The neproes desire to work, and the re
lations between employer and employe are as
satisfactory as in any part ot the world. Other
portions of Mr. htcphens' testimony seem to
ftn-ngthen the idea generally prevalent in the
North that Georgia and other State in tne
South were forced into Secession by the Rebsl
leaders.
As to suffrage in the South, Mr. Stephens
assures us ttaut a proposition to extend it to the
neproes would not bo adopted in Georgia. His
own idea ot a limited suffrage is very grateful,
as an evidence of enlightenment on the part of
Southern statesmen, which we hope to find more
general. The hopes of reeeneration in ths
South must depend to sotno extent upon such
men as Stephens and Reagan. Their course
" now, in tho lace of public sentiment, shows the
enor of the President when he failed to accept
the golden momeDt succeeding Lee's surrender.
That mistake has made the work of reconstruc
tion weary and difficult. With Congress strenu
ous and bold in behalf of nationality, with lev
els like Stephens, willing to lead the Southern
people In the path of proaress, we shall rapidly
advance towards a perlect Union a Union ot
freedom and peace, and founded upon the bro
therhood of num. With Andrew John?ou's aid
the work would have been easy and harmo
nious. The Contending Hosts.
front the Timet.
The "grand advance guard" of the O'Mahony
Fenians, under the generalship of the redoubt
able Killian, are making comic history in a style
of which Gilbert A'Bcckett never dreamed. A
quiet vein ot the grotesque, verging on the
ludicrous, and rising now and then to the laugh
able, was all of which that funniest of funny
historians was capable. But the Fenians and
their despatches, as manipulated by Killian,
beat A'Bcckelt's inventions hollow. From the
far-off" comer oljMaine comes an unceasing peal
of uproarious fun and folly, the only drawback
to which lies in the fraud that taints the whole
affair.
In the first place, there was to be a surprise
and easy capture of some tangible point of
British territory, to which end b'eneral Killian
advertised in the newspapers that he was on the
road thither. So valiant a hero scorned the
idea of doing anything except in the most polite
and public manner, and, therefore, he invited
the British army and navy to gatner in sight of
tne spot, ana cajmiy witness His conquest.
In the next place it was necessary to convey
to a wondering world some distinct evidence of
the mighty rush ot armed Fenians to the scene
of the predicted triumph. Despatch number
one told us that thirteen stalwart Irishmen had
gone by sttamer to Eastport. lenvtn? their arms
and ammunition to be conveyed by a schooner
advertised to sail on tne next day. Despatch
number two announced toe iourneyinss of nine
teen more soldiers ol the same stamp, of whose
weapons nothing was said. Despatch number
three signalized the arrival of another equally
extensive band, one half of whom were said to
be general officers, deeply in love wiihThe skill
' and prowess of the illustrious Killian. But We
need not recapitulate too minutely. Each suc
ceeding day broucht tldincs of the same sort:
Killian gathering a mighty host at the rate of a
baker's dozen daily, and contemplating some
prodigious deed, of' which the wide awake Pro
vincials were regularly apprised beforehand,
that tbey might render Us accomplishment lni
possible.
After having thus whetted the public appetite,
ana prepared an ot us lor some decisive diow,
Killian tiansmitted over the wires on Sunday
an intimation that ''five armed Fenians" had
captured a British flag on Indian Island. Here
was somcthing.to be proud of. Here must have
been fighting, with a vengeance. And then the
- aatoundine result "five armed Fenians" over-
powering a regiment of New Brunswickers and
carrying olf the flag, after performing prodigies
of valor! The intormation for the moment
astounded us. - Our appetite for breakfast
vanished as we glanced along the electrifying
. lines, ana we were reany on tne spot to do
homage to the genius of O'Mahony for planniner
Buc h a campaign, and the power of Killian for
carrying it to a triumphant issue. Further
stvdy, however, converted onr new-born admi
ration into intense disgust For we discovered
that there was no fleht no resistance no cap
' ture; the whole affair amounting simply to tne
canying away of a revenue flag,' which had been
hoisted as u thing of course, and the securing
ot which might, therefore, have beeu performed
as easily by one smart Yankee school-boy as by
tne nve.armea r enians," upon wnose prowess
Killian avtens witn evident priae. "tio to in
dian Island to steal a dau, and then proclaim
victory," we said to ourselves; "why five steve
dores might any day or night do the same ten
times over without leaving New York."
These mighty movements of the O'Mahonyites,
however, are evidently unpalatable to the Swee
ney taction, whose glories are thus eclipsed by
the warlike Killian. Something must be done
to suHtain Roberts In the I'residency and Swee
ney as the great Fenian Generalissimo. What
shall it bet The capture of one of the Thou
sand Isles T A decent upon Manitoulin in Lake
Huron? A feint to threaten Goat Island, in tho
Niagara? Martial reader, be more moderate in
your exactions. Messrs. Roberts and Sweeney
are going yes, are positively going, are adver
ted to go, and unquestionably will go to a'
public meeiing to be bold hi this city this
evening! That Is all. They don't Intend to
march to the battle-ttcld until the Fenian bonds
. have been sold, and when none of these are left,
there will be no reason for fighting.
Just now, the odds are in favor of O'Mahony
and Kill'an and their bonds, as against Roberta
and Sweeney and their bonds. The people are
tired of talk, and demand decisive action. Hav
iiu carried olf an unprotected, dtidefended flag,
Killian is at least a league ahead of his rivals.
Roberta and Sweeney must talk light mug to
night if they would overtake him. '
1 he German Question The Game Against
Austria.
lYom the Herald.
The present position of Prussia on the question
that agitates Germany is In one sense remarka
bly like that of the radicals on the vital topic oi
our own politics. We made war for four years
against men who proposed to carry certain.
States out of the Union, claiming and declaring
constantly that our nationality and existence
. depended upon the fact that no State could leave
the rest. We triumphed; but no sooner was the
i war over than the dominant party stepped
( around to the views of our enemies, and declared
that the States were out. all the time had been
out, and that the question of the dny was next
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
to determine the condition on which they could
come in.
Prussia has .int been eulltv or the same flat
contradiction of herself. She and Austria to
gether made war atrainst Denmark for tne two
onchics. Denmark claimed them as her own;
but l"rufl84a and Austria declared that the rights
ot Doi-mark bad expired; that the duchies be
longed now to a German prince, and that the
Scandinavian must give way. On this position
the duchtes were taken by lorce; but now Prus
sia repudiates all notion that Germany at large
br any German prince has any rights in the mai
ler; declares tnat tne duchies bciongc.i ot rigtit
to Denmark, and now belong to the Powers that
tore them from her. 8he holds to this last view
to tenaciously that she is even ready to muke
War against her late ally simply because that
ally insists that the two Powers did not take the
tlwbies lor themselves, but for Germany. In
our own case, we know very well what turned
ihe radicals round. . To cover and carry out
party game it was necessary to hold opinions
directly antagonistic to those the war was waged
bn; an.1 thev faced about without scruple. They
hold that the States are out In order to be con
sistent with something that they propose for the
luttire, not caring to bo consistent with the past.
in me same way tne rrussian cnange ot iront
indicates a political game of so much future im
portance that mere consistency is a trifle in com
parison with it.
This game is t be played on a large scale,
and is altogether the arrangement of the Euro
pean Napoleon and M. Bismark. Tho slate
was doubtless nvtde up at Biarritz last year.
France a few vcara since desired to extend her
noiitier in two dlrectious towards Italy on the
one hand and Germany on the other. . Her
wishes towards Italy Induced the Italian war.
That was a struggle In which Franco and Italy
ioucht agiilnst Austria to make Sardinia tha
one 'Italian power. The programme ot united
Italy nniv htorped short of Venetia: and It
stopjed where it did because If It had gone
iurthcrtho war would not have been airuin-t
Austria merely, but against all Germany. It
would nave become Huiopcan; tne Keoublicans
would have been up, and anybody's throne
niicht havo gone down in a day. But stop
ping where it did, the consideration to France
wus made secure. That consideration was the
Italian provinces on her border that she
coveted. Her desire in that diicction was
gratified.
Theoblect of the war that is now to be made
in Germany is to satisfy the cravings of Franoe
towards the Rhine. Jutt as the Italian war did
ner cravings towards Italy, it is still trance
and another against Austria. The only differ
ence 19 that the other is Prussia instend of Sar
dinia, and that Prussia is to be made the one
German power, as Sardinia was the one Italian
power, ine consideration to trance is inc
w hole left bank of the Rhine. Timid reaooners
suppose tbat France ought to hesitate to make
one great German power, even more tnan one
great Italian power; but, having gone so far
towards milking one, khe timet perhaps make the
other to balance it. It should be remembered
also that France, aggrandized bv these splendid-
accessions 01 territory in rom directions, would
Dave little to fear from either power.
it tbis be in reality tne arrangement, it mat
ters not what course Austria may take on the
bchleswln-llolBtein question, rue war agreed
upon will be broucht about on tbat pretext or
some other. It seems, indeed, to be well under
stood in Austria that that power can do nothing
to avert the contest, and that giving way on
one point would only cause her to bs pushed
on some other. She I eels that she might as well
tight where she is as anywhere else.
The Italian war was stopped at the very point
necessary in order to secure the objects' of its
originator; but there U reason to suppose that
the greater war to be induced In Germany may
be less controllable. It Is possible that the
great schemes may at last insure the objects
of their enemies rather than their own. Venetia
will be one more point In dispute. Italy will be
active; so also will be Turkey and' Russia.
Revolutionary elements will be up wherever
they exist. Hungary will make imperious de
mands lor concessions; and, on the whole, It is
highly probable that the, present year may see
greater changes made in the map of Europe
than have been been since the 'first Napoleon
was Emperor,

Thrfrolitical Situation-Flans or the Re
publican Party.
From the World.
It is not probable that the threatened impeach
ment of President Johnson will be attempted
before, the next session of Congress. The ensuing
eight months are neoded for ripening the con
spiracy of the revolutionists. The Civil Rights
bill Las not been passed with the expectation
tnat it will have auy effect as law, but as a pre
liminary snare for entrapping the President, and
more especially as a nieaus of fomenting aliena
tion between the North and the South. Who
believes that it can be enforced? Violations of
it are made punishable as crimes; but, by the
Constitution, '"in all criminal prosecutions, the
accused shall enjoy the right of a speedy and
public trial by an impartialiury of the State and
district wherein the crime shall have been com
mitted." A Southern jury will no more convict
under this Jaw, than a Northern jury would
have done under the Fugitive Slave law-, from
which some ot its provisions are copied. There
ai e still other reasons why it will not be en
forced. The Judges ol the United States Courts
are so few, and to distant from each other, tbat
their courts afford no adequate machinery for
the administration of such a law.
There are but ten Circuit Judges in the whole
vast' area of the United States, and,-a bill has
passed the House lor reducing the number to
nine, me District judges are also lew ana
widely separated. In the great State of New
York we nave only two, Judge Betts, ot this
city, and Judge Hall, of Buffalo. The principal
reason for the passage of the Fugitive Slave law
of lH.'iO, was that, as the States had refused to
tillow their magistrates to administer the law of
17!i3, the distance of the United Stales Judges
irom ench other rpndered the law a dead letter.
Accordingly, the law ot 1850 authorized the
appointment of Commissioners, who, like State
Justices of the Peace, were more liberally dis
tributed uiad easily accessible. But the number
of fugitive cases hardly amounted to a dozen a
year, while the negroes aff'erted by the Civil
Rights bill are numbered by millions.
Tne bill autnonzes tne uircuit ana District
Courts to appoint as many Commissioners as
they may deem necessary. The office of Com
missioner is worth nobody's acceptance but that
of a local resident. Southerners will neither
stand up against local opinion and accept these
onices, nor can tney taice tne test oat it tney
did. It is plain, therefore, that the Civil Rights
bill will not be executed. There will be no
adequate machinery for this purpose, and South
ern juries would not convict under it even if
there , were. This must have been perfectly
obvious to the concoctors of the bill,' and to the
members of Coagress who passed it over the
President s veto. . 1
What, then, was their object? It was to find
in its non-enforcement new topics ot invective
acaiubt the South, and new grounds ot accusa
tion against the President, the real obstacle to
the success ot the law is the repugnance ot the
Southern people to us provisions, and tneirais-
Dener in its consTiiuiionanry: in consequence
ot which Commissioners will not serve nor
Juries convict. But its failure will be attributed
to the neglect and opposition of the President.
The law authorizes him toorder judges to hold
special sessions of their courts at places where
the law U disregarded. Jt authors expect to
find cases in which this is not done, and to
make it a prominent ground of the threatened
impeachment, , . i
The main purpoe of the Impeachment Is to
have the army under the command of Repub
lican at the Presidential election of 18C8. With
President Johnson in office, the Southern State
would all choose Presidential electors. If by
counting the votes of the Southern electors the
anti-Republican randidate should' be elected,
Mr. Johnson would, of course, hold, tba,t he was
ialrly elected, and entji&J a be inaugurated a
President. Mr. Johiy;oa belag Commander-in-Chief
of the army, tlv KeDubliuaus could not in
augurate their caij Vate if he was not duly
elected. The PresiJ t is. therefore, regarded
by the Republican v us aa-obstucle to be put
out of the Way; but whether by impeachment or
by a political rftantnivte, will not be fully deci
ded till alter next tali's ein tions.
If the Repiiblicnno bold their own In the elec
tions, and make sure of a two-thirds malonty
in the next Congress, they will fool strong
enough to impeach and depose th Piesidont,
and will do It without further delay. In that
case, they wilt take Chief Justice Chase as
their 'candidate, and, by- excluding the
Southern electoral votes, they will stand a fair
chance or inaugurating him. According to the
Constitution, the ChlW Justice roust presMe
in the Senate, when sitting as a court for the
tria) ot impeachments. It will be a scanda
lous spectacle to see Mr. Chase sitting in a
mock trial for .deposing an officer whose re
moval is necessary to his own success. A
judge should have no Interest as a party;
nut Chief Justice Chase would be enlisted
for the condemnation of tbe President by the
'strongest motives which can appeal to the
ambition of a demagogue. A rectut Washing
ton letter to a Wederu paper, the writer of
which seems to have been fresh from an inter
view with Mr. Chase, closes a long recital with
this remark:
"Mr. Chaso does rot think that Congress and the
President will ever hnrmomzo. II' thinks tbat tho
Presiuent lias not tbe power to desttoy tne Union
party; that one man, as ho expressed It, however
elevated his position, fills tot a small space In a
nation or in a great party i and tbat tbe Union party
at this time embodies the intcllipeueo and couse enco
of the country; and, tarmac to tbe person with
whom be was Is conversation, he inquired, -Do you
see any of the intelligent, honest young men ot our
count it attaching themselves to this old, corrupt,
and disloyal Democratic; party?' "
! Nothing is probably further from Mr. Chase's
wishes than that the President atd Congress
should "ever harmonize," as his own Presiden
tial hopes rest upon the continuance ot the
difference and the exclusion of the Southcrj
States.
If the Republicans shall lose considerably in
the Congressional elections, their tactics are not
quite so clear. The adherents ot Mr. Chae will
still be for Impeachment, since it is only by
ousting President Johnson tbat Mr. Chase could
hope to be inaugurated, If he should receive
meiely a majority of the Northern votes. But
since a reaction once set in is not likely to stop,
a less radical set of politicians will be lor drop
ping both Mr Chase and the protect of impeach
ment, and running General Grant as the Repub
lican candidate for the Presidency, trusting that
the army would worship rather the rising than
' the setting sun. and that it would obey the
' Lleutenant-General instead of tne constitutional
Commander-in-Chief. Tho Republican party is
a unit in tlu-ir determination to exclude the
South Irom the next Presidential election; they
differ only as to tup relative expediency of im
ppachiug' President Johnson, or runutng General
Graut. " If the out-and-out Radicals shall inter,
, from the result of the fall elections, that they
are strong pnough to elect Mr. Chase, we shall
be trentf d to the scandulous spectacle of an im
peachment, the trial of which will be presided
over by the party having the chief interest in the
result.
The Noithern Abettors of Disunion.
From the Daily A" te.
The Times, commenting on our appeal to the
President to protect the States ol the Union in
the exercise of their right of representation in
the National Legislature, says:
"So lar as the Daily New is concerned, our re
joinder shall be brief. In its case we cannot com
plain of equivocation or cowardice. W itb tbe steatt
lastnesg in behait ot RoholB and rebellion which has
secured for it a wider circulation in the touth than
is enjoyed by any otner Nortbern Democratic jour,
rial, it reiterates tbe pernicious views upon which we
have a ready remarked, and justifies the appeals to
which we have dircoted attention as pregnant with
miH'hiof. Under the pretense ot upholding the Con
stitution, it uiges tbe President to assume the role of
tho dicialor, to overcome tho decision ot Congress
by lorce, and torontyro tho boutn to its place in
Congress at tho point ot the bayonet."
If, because we have been true and earnest in
detense of the principles that are a part ot om:
political faith, we have earned popularity with
onr country men, we accept ' with ' pride and
thankfulness the reward of consistency and de
votion. Surely the acknowledgment ot our ad
vocacy of Democratic doctrines has been fairly
won, lor in the hour of trial we suffered, in their
behalf, the severest persecution of the enemies
of our creed. It is a strange manner ct rebuking
a public Journal by alluding to the extended
circulation that it has achieved. It that is a
part ol the offense that we have committed, we
are not unwilling nor ashamed to augment the
guilt and abide its consequences.
But, in this issue between the Chief Magis
trate of the Republic and a mischievous and
incendiary faction, what are the "pernicious
views" that we advance, and that elicit the
condemnation ol the limes? We demand no
thing worse than the vindication of repub
licanism, and that, surely, is not a crime
in a republic. Obedience to tbe laws of our
political eybtein requires the protection of
the States ol the Union In their exercise of
the right of representation in the Federal
Congress. An assemblage of demagogues,
representing the lanaticism of a section of
our land, disoure that right, and have con
spired to deprive duly elected members of
Congress ot their rightful seats in the
Capitol, at a crisis when it is essen
tial to the welfare of the republic that
the deliberations and enactments of the Na
tional Legislature should have all the ele
ments ol ltgitimacy, and should have the full
force ot a faithful record ol the will of the people.
We have appealed to the President to exercise
his authority, in whatever shape it may be ne
cessary, to thwart this conspiracy against the
lite ot our republicanism. If any "mischief" re
sults from ihat appeal, the responsibility rests
with those who have provoked it, and who, by
their revolutionary machinations, render it
necessary lor the Executive to resort to extreme
and decisive measures. The Times says we act
under "pretense of upholding the Constitution."
We point to the Constitution itsell to refute the
chaigc of "preteme." That instrument declares
,that "The House of Representatives shall be
composed ot members chosen every second year
by tne people of the several Mates," and that "the
Senate oi the United States shall be composed
of tvo Senators from each Mate."
These plain requirements of the Constitution
are Ignored and violated by tho radical majori
ties in Congress. Thereiore their legislation Is
unconstitutional, and they are no oetter than
usurpers of legislative power, who, if they will
not listen to reason , should be compelled, yes,
even by bayonets, it necessary, to submit to the
laws of the republic. W bo is tne party author
ized to, eniorce tbat submission I, The Consti
tution savs that the President "shall take care
that the laws are tuichfuily executed;" and what
laws can beniore sacred and important than
those that relate to the existence and tunction-i
of the national legislative bodies t It is not
true that we "urge the Presiuent to assume the
role ot the dictator." We ask him only to pre
vent a faction from assuming the dictatorship
in Congress. We do not ask nim "to overcome
ihe decision of Congress by force," for, in the
absence, upon compulsion, of the representa
tives ot eleven State roni participation in the
National Councils, tho representatives of the
other Slates, who are guilty ol that usurpation,
do not constitute a CoutrresS, and their "deci
sion" is overcome by their own incompetency to
decide. j
But we do urge him to "restore the South to
its place In Congress." lor it has the right to be
there, and the interests and safety of tho Repub
lic demand that it should be there. Our national
legislation is fraud and mockery while it locks
the constitutional requirement of full represent
tation. If the North to-day can deprive the
South of , representation, the South hereafter
may find an opportunity to retaliate. We would
have no such precedents established. We call
upon the President to secure to the republic 4
constitutional federal Legislature, 'mere will
be no use lor bayonets if the radicals da not
resist the execution of tbe laws; but if they per
sist in attempting revolution ana uisuniou in the
Senate Chamber and Hall of Representatives,
guard of Federal soldiers may ; be necessary to
ktp the peace in tbe Capitol. . , .,
