From the Tribune-. .
A printer' strike lately reduced Richmond lo
that itnte of moral bWepflnes and social seen,
rltj which Mr. Ilfcry A..ViBO once compliu
cenlly claimed for his own eonKrcB.ional . Djs
"trict. For little while there were no newspapers
la Richmond; and, utrange to say, the deficiency
does not seem to have been rcliHhed, even by the
most low-ppirited admirer of (liat bygouo age
which both created and consoled Mr. Wise. In
the aWnce of definite InfoimHtion, rumor bad
it all 1U own wild way. Canards flews as thickly
as Homer's flies around a mllkinR pail) the rnrat
dirtricta were feverish with falsehoods for which
nobody was responsible too city swarmed with
peripatetic retailers of quite Ideal intelligence,
and be who could talk the loudest and the long
est, and tell the toujjbef-t story, became the ereat
man of ihe itropgcry and the revered prophet of
the barber's shop ' ! :
, To a bewildered people, it was as if printing
hi.a utjver been invented; and, whatevor may
bave heretoiore been iho sublime indifference of
Jtichmond to the ex.Htence of the nineteenth
century, it was not a little embarrassed by this
midden icvival of middle-age want and monkish
expedient; and, when an adjustment of thnlr
difficulties enabled the newspapers once more to
appear, w may be sure that they brousht a
scute ot relief and a palpable promotion of the
public serenity. Ana this little event reminds
us of what would be tho condition of our own
beloved city and Its environs. If morninsr, and
noon, and evening publication should come to
a sudden stand-still, and the clatter of Mr. Hoe's
machines bo no loiiper heard in Priuting-IIouse
Bqunre. There arc hypercritical gsntlemen who
not only fatidiouf ly condemn the literary exe
c ution of newspapers (of the difficulties attending
.'which, thoy know and can know nothing), but
who go further, und iusinute solemn doubts
of . their , moral influence who regard
them as at best a necessary evil; but
" who, ' nevertheless, take them, pay tor
, them and read them, who are uulippy with
tiieui, but would be t-tiil more unhappy witn
, out them. It is only the man who pleases to
divest himpelf ot all social relations and respou
' sibiltties who would wish to remain in igno
rance of events. A hermit living filty miles
ironx a respectable Cook-shop, upon parched
peas and messes of herbs, who never changes his
shu t, and goes always bareiooted, is naturally
indifferent to tbo fluctuations of the cattle mar
ket, cares nothing for the rise and fall of cotton,
and has a i-pirit elevated far above thj vicis
situdes ot leather. Having satisfied himself tnat
his soul Is to be saved by frequent flagellations
" and intrequent ablutions, he no more wants even
a religious iouruul than he want soap or a tine
toothed comb, Convinced that the world is
riif-hiug to ultimate perdition; his only care is
not to be swept along by the current, while
irom his high and dry point of advan
tage be looks into an unearthly future,
and forgets, so far as possible, that he
has many millions ot fellow-creatures. We can
not imagine Saint Simeon Siylites taking in tho
Tribune or any other newspaper; but men who
difler from that worthy, who do not live by
themselves upon the tops of pillars, do not
shun the sight of the human face aud the
' sound of the human voice, do not Ignore com
mon duties, and are rationally gregarious, will
need a newsuancr as much us they Lecd a
towel or a tailor. There are some things which.
solitary aud alone, we can do for cuielves; but
the majority of human enterprises depend, lor
their success upon an enlightened knowledge
ot what the world has done, or is doing, in the
same field and direction. This alone can pre-
vent constant mistakes, the misdirection of
energy, the repetition of obsolete experiments,
most lamentable failures, or clumsy and round
about achievements. So. too, if a man pleases to
accej t relations to a go eminent, ana to put mm'
sell and his f amily and his property under its pro
tection. he is as direclv interested in the oiniS'
sions and commissions of that Government a in
the outcomes and incomings ot his household
servants or of his journey iuen. He should bo
ashamed not to vote: but he should be still more
ashamed to vote ignorantly or blindly, or as tho
mete tool of a sharner-eved man than him
self. Voting presuppo-s the making-up of
one's mind; and that in turn presupposes a
basis ot tact lor the decision. This it is the
business ot the tewspaner to furnish. But this
' is not a 1. Newspapers are naturally advocates,
The statement and the defense of opinion neces
sarily follow the widest lossession of facts, and
the lareest survev of nubile auairs. In this re
sped, newspapers should be the helpers but
inter the masters of their readers, the vehicles
of suggestive discussion, the winnowers
of truth lrom falsehood, the vehement
antagonists of error, the earuebt defenders
of the rieriit. This is what they are, if not
in practice, most certainly in theory; and
it is jubt in proportion as they are true to this
htph standard that they are upetui or otuerwise,
' But vhey have no protection against the intiU'
euces ot passion, of prelurtice. or ot venality,
As they ar mechanically the masterpieces of
Human ingenuity, so sometumg ot numan in
firmity attaches to them la their best estate;
and thev must be accepted by the public, which
depends so much upon them, not as oracles
incaDable of mistake, but as entitled to that
credit which, by an aver ace of sagacity and of
honest dealing with their readers, they may
have spent many years in earning, it is em'
phaticaily its general character which gives
tho newspaper a public influence. It is true
that, either lrcm habit or some other adventi
tions circunibtance, men will long continue to
read a newspaper lor which they have no very
lively respect: but they laugh at it in their
sleeves or in their speech, and risk neither their
money nor their reputation tor sagacity upon
its soundness.
Nobody can be better aware of the deficien
cies of the daily papers than we are; but will
our worst critics be pleased to imagine the
country without newspapers at all? the
doubts, the nervous anxieties, the blind igno
rance, the thick-thronginsr blunders, the misap
pr hensions. the purposeless activity, the inde
cisive Inertia hich would tolloT. The public
journal Is the public memory, the diary ot so
ciety, everybody's ledger and 'Commonplace
book and alumnae; and without it, until a sub
stitute had been found, everything would be at
crobS-purpos.es and contusion.
Tennessee In Congress.
From the Timet.
On Monday we had a fine illustration ot the
style In which Congress has abdicated its con
stitutional functions in regard to the admission
ot its members. It is now six or eight weeks
since Mr. Bingham, on behalf of the Recon
struction Committee, reported a resolution pro
Tiding tor the admission ol Tennessee into the
Union. lie has been called on two or three
times to call it up for consideration, and has
half promised every time to do so '"soon,," but
has never done It. XThsn the matter was pressed
Mf.ou Congress at the outset of the session. It
was urged tnat lniormation was wantcd-t-that
the Committee was taking testimony as to the
titnefs of Tennessee for read mission, and that
nothing could be done until this was closed.
Yet nearly two months have clawed alnnn thn
testimony was reported, printed, and laid before
Congress and the country, and still not the
slightest disposition is manlfesCed by the Com
mittee or by Congress to give the matter any
Attention. ' i
Mr, Latham, a Union member irom West Vir
ginia, on Monday offered some resolutions for the
netion of Congress upon this; subject. H'liey
- were promptly ruled out of order by the Speaker
The whole matter was in the bnndu of the Com
mittee on Reconstruction, and it was out of
order lor the House lo attempt to do or say any
thing ab ut it. When the Committee seea fit to
call the subject up, it hns a fight to do so; until
then Ceugre's is i owerless.
lenmseee bn bad a State Government, regu
laily elected by the loj alpeopl", under a con
stitution republican in lorm, witu Courts duly
organized and in lull operation, for the last two
years. Her people have sent, m their represen
tatives to Congress, as loyal, true hearted, -and
trustworthy men as live on the tace of the eartli
able and ready to take the test-oath men
who have perilled life and everything dear lo
them for the salvation of ihe- Union, and who
represent constituencies equally loyal and wi ll
dispoped. Every one of these facts Is clearly
ectabltehed' by the testimony taken by the Re
cophirucilon Committee; and every witness sum
moned by that committee, without a solitary
exception, testified in the most direct and em
phatic tcims flint the admission of these loyal
mem beis would have the best posiblc effect In
developing und strengthening the loyal senti
ment ot Tennessee and every other Southern
ftate. Yet the Reconstruction Committee will
neither do anything, nor suffer Congrcs to do
anything, towards bringing about this most
desirable result.
How much lonerer Is tbis state of things to be
continued? What possible good purpose dois
it serve?
The Withdrawal of the French from Mex
ico Ihe Official Notification.
From the Ihrald. .
We have the information from Washington
that Count Montholon, the French Minister, on
Saturday last waited upon the Secretary of State
and "presented the formal adhesion ot the
French Government to tho American prlnciplo
of non-intervention as explained by our Govern
ment;" that the Emperor Napoleon kiudly and
cordially replies to the United Statec, aud en
gages to withdraw his troops in three detach
ments, one of thqm next November, aud the
others in May and November, 18G7. An abstract
ot the coirtpondenco on tue subject, in answer
to a recent resolution ot the House of Repre
sentatives, was laid before that booy on Monday
by Secretary reward.
Accepting tnese proranes oi japoicun in goou
faith, and with the lull bvliefr that he has relin
quished the "grand idea" suggested by Marshal
forey, we may now cousiot-r tne Mexican ques
tion settled in lavor ot the Monroe doctrine.
We accept the cngagemenc to withdraw the
French troops as the surrender ol the whole
case by Nutxjk'OD, the Inevitable alternative re
sulting Horn tho downmu ot Jcfi. JJavia. upon
this point it is not unlikeiv that in the outset
Najioieon was led astray by tne dazzling repre
s niations ot Slidrll ot the monopoly ot Ameri
can commerce by a Southern coni'e leracy, and
a Fiench piotectorato in Mexico, established
under a linn alliance on the basis of free trade.
Napoleot, however, Is prepared for a graceful
retirement, .lie talis ouck upon his Mexican
indemnities, lor these be looks to Maximilian,
and to secure them ho delays the recall of the
last instalment of the Freuch troops till Novem
ber, 1HC7.
In the interval Maxmnliau mut "mate his
bay while the sun shines; ' but as it appears
that no French reiuforcenienrs are going in to
supply his losses in the field, we shall not bu
surprised if the removal ol iho first detachment
were to start his. Imper al Majesty of Mexico
out of "the balls of the Montezumas" on the
road to Vera Cruz. Tho Ltborals, in some mys
terious way, arefbeginnlng to be supplied with
ellicient arms, and from their present activity
between Watanioras and Mazatiau we are in
clined to think that the depaiturc ot the first
instalment ot tho French will be tue signal tor
a combination of Liberal movements which will
Give them their capital.
it must oe remembered, meantime, tnat, ac
cording to Napi leon, the Government of Maxi
milian is a creation ot the Mexican people, as
exprcsted in a special election in the presPo.cc
ot the French troops. After the withdrawal of
those troops, therefore, and the settlement ot
certain French bidemnities, it the Mexican peo
ple srould loieibly expel or earnestly invite
Maximilian to remain aud rulo over them, it is
their affair, and not JJaroleon's. He is pledced
to the Fiench people, alter the lashion of the
Jlonapartes, to respect the popular will. Thus
the nephew and his uncle were each confirmed
as Emperor ot the French, ami thus Maximilian,
by the popular will, as the French have been
made to understand it. is Emperor of MpxIco.
While Napoleon, then, w ithdraws his troops in
deierence to the United States, he leaves Maxi
milian ptill subject to the will of the Mexican
people.
This is doubtless the understanding between
Louis Napoleon and Andrew Jonnson, and we
incline to the opinion that it will be perfectly
satislactory to Preoident Juarez and the Mexi
cans. In "the formal adhesion of the French
(;ovtninient to the American principle of non
intervention" we secure all that we desire from
Napoleon, and it would be absurd to suppose
that Austria, with or without his consent, would
undertake to establish a transatlantic imperial
protectorate w hich Napoleon has formally aban
uoned as a blunder and a failure.
It is stated that the Secretary of State has
given instructions to our Minister at Vienna re
garding the sending of Austrian soldiers lo
Mexico, and that he protests against such action
in tf rms that cannot be very well niuunderstood
by the Austrian Government.
Qualifications ot Members of Congress
From the Daily Xtwt.
The moie moderate and honest ot those mem
bers of Congress who, while they support the
measures of the radical leaders, are yet un
w illing to admit that, in so doing, they are not
only overriding the Constitution, but trampling
into the dust all the greut principles which have
given vitality to oui inbtitutions and made us a
great and prdsperous people, Und themselves
bard put to it to rind arguments to justify their
course, even to their own consciences. And it
frequently happens that they have no resource
but to shelter tlieir acts under some broad asser
tion of a general principle, which, under differ
ent circumstances, they would hesitate to make,
and w hich, if their judgments were net clouded
by the mists of prejudice and tbe fumes of pas
sion, they would see to nave no aaequate ioun-
tlution either in fact or law.
One of the most striking ot these is to be
found in the argument by whictt they .justify
ihe expulsion ot Mr. Stockton and the re
fusal to admit the Senators ana Representa
tives from the Southoru Stutes to their aeati
in the Houses to which they are respectively
accredited. The clause ot the Constitution
which provides that each House shall be the
.judge of the election, returns, aud qualifica
tions ol its own mourners, gives us, say tnese
gentlemen, absolute power over the whole
subject. There i& no limitation whatever to
our discretion. This, it seems to us, is a radi
cal error, and one whose mischievous conse
quences are incalculable. Even where a grant
of power is made without any limitations
expressed, its exercise is always to be con
trolled b a sound discretion, ana ougnc not
to be stretched to suit the caprices of
those in whose hands the power is, lor the
time beine, lodged. And it is, moreover, neces
sarily limited by precedent, and by those im
plied restrictions which tuny be reduced by
reasonable construction from the terms of the
grant itaell. And it seems to us that there is,
in the Constitution itself, a very material limi
tation npon the absolute powers claimed under
the clause reierred to. Neurly the whole of the
tiiEt article ot the Constitution Is devoted to the
legislative department of the Government, and
it provides, f eriatim. who shall be represented,
how they shall be renrenpntcd. what shall be tha
powers and duties of the representatives, etc.,
All lis sections are, tneretore. m part materia,
and should be construed together.- Now; the
second section define the qualifications of a
member of the lower House; and the third serf
tloo la like manner defines the qualifications of
a Senator. Suppose a Senator presents hiuiself
tor aamisMou, wun proper creaentials, and a
dcubt arises whether he possesses the, eouatltu
tionnl qualifications, which, in the cae ot a
Senator, are that he must be thirty years old,
that he must bave been nine years1 a citizen of
the United Stales, and that he must, have been,
ut the time oi his election, an inhabitant of the
btijfe be assumes to represent, how is it to be
tenledr W ho shall investigate and dec de
whether lie docs or dues not possess the re
quisite qualifications?
IbeiTamcrs ot tbe Constitution, anticipating
that such a cae m'etit arise, provided in the
Mill section Ihflt tbe lioiue to which the appli
cant w as accredited should bave power to decliio
the point. Hut will any fair-minded man claim
that the por to decide the naked question ot
fact, whether an Individual does or does not
' possess certain specified qualifications, lmnlies
the power to prescribe the qualifications them
selves!, . What would bo thought, ot a judge who.
in trying a felon, should ulvo a new definition of
Ihe felony,"and make that a crime which the
law did hot so regard ? . What a howl of in lis
nation would be raised 1 And yet his usurpation
would not, in our judgment, be one whit grestor
than that of Congress in the premises. They
may inquire into the elections and ascertain
vt't ether they have been held In accordance
with law; thry may inquire into the returns and
ascertain whether they are genuine or forgd,
whether they are In jiroprr form or not: ana
tbey may inquire whether a member elect has
ot has not tno qimlificatioiis prescribed in tbe
Constitution, but they can no more alter them
than they ran chance the tenure of their own
office. And they know full well that their
afrmpt to do o Is a gross and palpable usur
pation of powers never intended to bo conferred
upon them.
The Noithein Pacific Rallioad.
From the World.
We understand that the House Committee on
tbe Taciflc Eailroad have perfected a bill in aid
of a railroad from Lake Superior to Puget
Sound, which is the begiuuing of a new policy
on the part of Government. Our rcadeis do not
need to be informed that. In our Judgment,
building railioads is no part of the business of a
Government, however desirable It may be that
railroads should be built. But such are not the
opinions prevalent in the national councils, and
strict constructionists can only hope to mitl
eate as much as possible the expense and the
injustice ol. such stretches of the governmentiil
sphere. In this case tbe committee take the
around that railroads nm-t b? built, not with
money from tho Treasury, but by private enter
prise, and that whatever aid may be given by
the Government, there- must be reimbursement
on the part ot ihe company. The provisions of
the bill are as follows: The company must
build twenty-live miles ot first-class railroad aud
telegraph line.
When t'nut is done, when it is accepted by the
Government, the Company is to have the inter
est ot its stock at six per cem. on a fixed amount
per mile, euaianteed tor twenty years. At the
same time the Government reserves one-half
oi the proceeds of the lands, which, by the
charter, have been granted to the Company,
also twenty-live per cent, of the gtoss earnings
until the reimbursement is complete. The Com
pany ore j rohibited from issuing any bonds and
rhey are lo construct their road with American
iron. The capital block of the Company is one
hundred millions, but the amount of etoclc on
which tho interest is guaranteed will fie onlv
about fifty-seven millions, to be determined by
the length ot the road when the same shall
have been located, 'ihe interest of sixty mil
lions is three miliion lour hundred and twenty
thousand, to be paid out per annum when the
road Is completed. '
lbe friends of this road fim', as they think, lit
the report ot the Commissioner of Public Lauds,
proof that the Government will be reimbursed
long before the twn y years' guarantee has
expued. Ai out six bundled thousand acres of
land were taken up in Minnesota alone during
18G5, mostly along the line of railroads now in
prepress. This, at two dollars and a half per
acre, the minimum price fixed by Congress on
the lands among the Northern line, would yield
fifteen hundred thousand dollars. Sufrpose
that the Company should put down two hundred
miles during tbe next twelve months, on which
the internet is guaranteed at the rate of twenty
thousand dollars per mile, !,he interest would be
two hundred and forty thousand d.illars only.
Now, it a like amount of lands were disposed bt
during that tmie as were sold last year, the
Treasury would acquire a surplus of twelve hun
dred and sixty thousand dollars. The sale even
of one hundred and fifty -six sections (100,000
acres) of the land which has been granted to
the Company is expected to reimburse the Gov
ernment tor "its aid in constructing the two hun
dred miles. The highest amount per milo
guaranteed in the monnain section is oulv
fitly thousand dollars. The friends oj,. the road
thus consider tbat the Government is nut only
secured iroia loss by tbe provisions of this bill,
but that there is a eood prospect ot a lar?e
revenue from lands which will remain worthless
till a railroad is built.
Among the gentlemen engaged in this enter
piise are some of the ablest railroad managers
ol the country: Hon. J. Grecory Smitli.flate
Governor of Vermont, and President of tho Ver
mont and Canada line; Hon. Onslow Stearns,
President ot the Northern New Hampshire;
George StaTk, Manairer of tbe Boston and
Lowell: Hon. E. S. Tobey. President of the
North American and Liverpool Steamship Com
pany, and other gentlemcu of New York" and
the Northwest.
A movement is on foot by Enclish capituli-ts
to open a line rrom Lake superior to isrihsu
Columbia, wholly through British terri'ory
The ricfiiiess of the Cariboo mines, the fertility
ol the Saskatchewan country, and the necessity
of biudiue the Provinces toeether in connection
with the confederation scheme, has awakened
new zeal upon the suDiect. .
It is ihe intention ot the managers of the
Northern Pacific to en p nee in their work at
once, and push it to a speedy completion, pro'
tided aid ia granted by the Government. The
grunt of land which tas already been made is
liberal: but in these times, with the Govern
meut in tbe money murker, paying seven und
three-tenths per cent, lor money, "it is idle for
a private company to expect to obtain oue huii'
drcd millions ot capital tor such an enter
prise: but, with a guarantee tor the pavment of
the interest tor a term of veurs, they think the
carital can be readily obtained.
The proposed road runs throueh a section of
country separated from Colorado, Utah, und
Nevada by a high mountain range. It is Irom
five to seven :i mdred miles distant from the
Central. There is no antagonism between the
two lines. Both will be usetul. Montana con
tains thirty thousand inhabitants. Cities and
villages are springine up all over the territory
at the headwaters of the Missouri. Thp rush of
emigration to that section is unparalleled. Hal
liduv's 6tages are crowded as. never before.
About filty steamers are to leave St. Louis in
April for the upper Missouri ! Emigrant trains
are fitting out in Miunesota and Iowa. General
Pope has lound it necessary to issue orders re
gulating their movements, to protect them from
tbe Indians. It Is a twent.v:our davs' ride over
land, by staae. to Vireinla City (1700 miles).
liv river tbe lime Is forty days, and the distance
?4(I0 miles: bv emigrant train, sixty. Hut hv thp
proposed railroad the time will be shortened to
thirty-six hours from St. Paul! Idaho, Wash
