The Tcrt-Oath-OuEht It to be Repealed?
Drom the Tribune. f i .
The advocates for the repeal of the teat-oath
liave strengthened their case by the assumption
that the oath was a war measure, and that the
Congress which passed it did .not Intend it to
endure in time of peace. This was assumed by
the President in his message recommending a
modification. The Judiciary Committee, in their
recent report to the House, dispose of this fal
lacy by showing, that Congress intended to es.
tabllsh a permanent rule ol public policy, which
should exclude from the offices of the United
States every citizen who had voluntarily aban
doned hisallegittuceto the Government. Shortly
before the passage of the act appeared the
famous (or Infamous) Yulee letter, written by
the Florida Senator in January, 1801, revealiug
the deliberate purpose of iho leading con
spirators to retain their seats la Congress ia
order to prevent the passage 01 any force, loan, or
volunteer bill, which ruitjht put the United
States in condition to crush the .Rebellion when
Mr. Lincoln came into power. It was shown
that the Rebellion never could have been orga
nized had not Its master spirits held oifice under
the Government which they had sworn to sup
port and were plotting to destroy. "No one,"
say the Judiciary Committee, ,-no one but a
madman could thiuk of trusting these meu
again with oflicial power in this nation. Con
cress and the country were convinced that upon
the consciences of such men the ordinary oath
of olhcc would have but little effect, aiul that
the safety of the nation required ihelr exclusion
from offico altogether. The test-oath of 1802 was
one ot the results of this conviction."
The effect ot this statement is to change the
burden ot proof. Tho.se who urge a repeal of
the law are now bound to show that tne policy
of Congress in 18U2, in seeking to secure the
(lovorniaent agaiBSt future conspiracies, was a
mist uken policy, and that circumstances have
since occurred which make It sate to restore to
?ower and to opportunity fur other crimes
hose traitors who have been once tors vora, and
have once failed in their attempt to destroy
the Union. But the Committee concur with the
reiterated declarations of the President, that
treason Is a crime, and must be punished and
made odious, and they recommend Congress to
concur and adhere to the principle ot a law
which was intended to make treason odious by
teaching the people that no traitor is wortliy
to bold any position ot public trust undor the
Government.
The President, however, recommends a modi
fication of the oath, basing his opinion on the
statements ot the Secretary ot the Treasury and
the Postmaster General, in reference to the busi
ness of their Departments. The former oflicial
remarks in the course of his argument:
"The country was in a peculiar condition. Tho
BobollloD bad come to a sudden close. All resistance
to the authority ol the Uoiteu States had ceased, and
some T,O00,000 of people, in a state of utter disorgani
sation, "were left without any civil Uovernuiont
Whatever,- and without even an adequate military
protection against anarchy and rto ence. Under
these circumstances, as it seemod c early to be the
duty 01 the Executive to proceed at once to establish
the Federal authority and civil government in those
States, so it seemed to be necessary to carry into
effect the revenue laws ot tbe Cieneral Government.
As the country was pushing from a state ot war to a
state of peace, and tbe emergency seemed too press
ing to admit of delay till the meeting ot Congress, it
was thought that (he test oath miiftit, in view ot tho
great objects to be obtained, in some instances be
dispensed with; or, rather, that persons might be
pel nutted to hold revenue office who could take it
only in a qualilied form."
The President, by his endorsement of Mr.
McCulloch's report, makes this argument his
own, and it may be dealt with as his the more
unhesitatingly, inasmuch as he authorized that
remarkable dispensing policy which 1s herein
defended. Mr. Johnson cannot disguise his
foeling that his policy is badly in need of some
defense.- But when he urges that it was clearly
his duty to proceed "at once" to re-establish
civil government in the revolted and con
quered States, and that "the emergency was too
pressing to admit of delay till the meeting of
Congress," he forgets to explain why he did not
immediately assemble Congress, as be might
have done before he issued his first proclama
tion. Why did he not? Clearly not because he
believed the President alone posssessed ample
power to deal with the question of reconstruc
tion, for he or what is the same thing, Mr.
Howard telegraphed to Provisional Governor
Sharkey, of Mississippi, that "the Government
of the State will be provisional only, nntil the
civil authorities shall be restored, with the ap
proval of Congress." That was in July. In
September he repeated to Governor Marvin, of
Florida, that it must be distinctly understood
that the restoration of the State would be sub
ject to the decision ot Congrets.
It, then, the President believed, as he says he
did, the legislation of Congress necessary to the
restoration of the States, bow could he have
imucnnpd that he had Dower to disnense with
such legislation as he found already in exist
ence T Was the emergency so pressing tor the
execution of the revenue laws as to lustily htm
in nullifying the law which expressly restricted
the revenue appointments to loyal men ? Upon
this matter the exolanation of the President is
less full than might be wished. Mr. Johnson's
argument, if it means any thine, means that be
cause he has violated the law, Congress ought to
repeal it.
We can. indeed, conceive of a case in which
the President might be fustmod in disregarding
a law, though we cannot conceive the adminis
tration of the revenue laws to constitute, under
any circumstances, one ot those present emer
gencies where tbe lile ot a nution might need to
be preserved at the expense of a broken statute.
But was there in this case any need to break the
statute even for the sake of administering tho
revenue laws that is, ot appointing certain per
sons to otlice in the Rebel States tor the collec
tion of revenue ? The Secretary of the Treasury
lives a list of fllty-tive officers appointed in
violation ot law, and his apology is this:
. "Ju most olthe boulhern Statei nearly every man
Of tbe cbaractei and intelligence necessary to qua
lity biin for a position as revenue ottioer, some tiiuo
during the progress ot the war either ouageU in
hostilities aiiamst the United fctatos. or hold, will
ing v or uinulling'y, ollioe under Kebel authority,
lit nee it has been necessary, as before stated, to
employ in a few linrortant, but not remunerative
).oitioDB, and fn most of the subordinate ones, men
ot this class especially as the salary and induce
ments ot the cilices were generally too small to in
duce horthern men to accept them "
The Committee think the Secretary might
have found loyal men if he had looked. They
nrid from the records that the Eebcl States fur
nhhed no less than 42,006 men to the Union
armies. Is it possible that out of this multitude
there were not titty-nve competent to fill the
revenue offices to which the Secretary preferred
io appoint tiaitors ? Congress in 1805 resolved
that soldiers ought to have the preference in
apooiutments to civil offices a resolutionjwhich
: applies with peculiar force to those noble loyal
ists from the Southern States who fought in the
Union armies. Can there be a doubt that the
' Federal oflites mieht and should be filled by
ibenit Where then was the necessity of vio
lating the law, and what becomes of the argu
mint for reneuhn1' it?
It must even be doubted whether the Presi-
lont and his Secretary can in alleges plead the
., ,ia nf ignorance lor violating the law. We

buum. apphing for an appoiutment, bucked by

but It can scarcely be nocessarv P'le up

utterly, and that fhe argument rfor repeal, on

on. Vhile there are thousands and tens of

Tbe rublic Funds-Thclr Steady Appre

From the Times.
It would seem, from tho tenor of private des
patches by tho Africa to leading banking-houses
in this city, that we were correct in Interpreting
tho latest news from abroad as more encourag
ing, at leant, for our financial, if not likewise
for our commercial interests, than had been the
advices by the Nova Scotian and the first pub
lished telegrams from the Africa. The very
latest private messages from London (to tl:e
dote of business, April 14) place United States
rive-twenties in that marir.it as high as 08, May
coupon oil, which substantially restores thorn to
the figures reported by the America, allowing
lor tbe deduction of the semi-annual coin inte
rest. The very latest private accounts from
1-ranVfort (to Sunday afternoon. April 15) giv
tlicrtillne prlc fortlie favorite Amcricansecurlty
Hit re as T'ij, cx the 1st of May coupon off, or
equal to about fiiijf, May coupon oif, in the Lon
don market. From these despatches it would
be evident that the turning point in the depres
sion of our national stocks abroad has been
literally reached; that the rally in prices had
fairly and sturaily commenced; and that confi
dence in their thorough reliability and unri
valled lucratlveness, as an investment, was in
creasing apace.
our own market yesterday gave further proof
ol its strength, in the torn of an additional rise
of 4i ot one per cent, in the first issuo of Five
twenties, with which the foreign buyers are most
fami'iar. Sales were made us iiigu as 100j(g;10uJ,
or equal to 10, May coupon oil'. At even these
quotations the available supply was unusually
limited, the recent steadily aigmcniin Invest
ment drain having very effectually cleared tb;
market ol all floating lots. The home demand
is still so urtrent tnat no dltlicukv whatsoever
ran arise in the way of finding eager purchasers
at the go.ng rates lor any of our public stocks
likely to.be returned from abroad lor realization
here. As stated in our money column, "thus
fur the actual return of these. bonds has not
amounted to a single week's demand from
domestic biners lor investment, while, at tho
siime time, very heavy sales have been indulged
in, on specula ion, ol bonds "to arrive,' or, more
Erupcrly speaking, ot bonds exnectsd to bo
ought back here, ll not brought back irom
abroad, at lower figures." An eilort has been
mude within the last day or two to cover ihese
(bort sales by purchases in this market. It uai
been only partially successful, and even thus
successful only at the cost of an additional rise
in the price. Tbe market, in is present temper,
is fully equal to the absorption of all speculative
offerings that may bo ventured uoon; and this,
too, without arresting the upward course of
values, strengthened as It is dv the extraordi
nary abundance of money, wh'.cb fails to hud
profitable employment in any other well pro
tected forms by the progressive improvement
in the tinaucial position of the counti y and by
the practically permanent withdrawal from tho
market ot the Government as a borrower.
The comlorf able and assuring couottiou of the
national finances is indicated by the Instructions
ot Secretary McCulloch to the Assistant Trea
surers in the large cities, and the depositaries of
public moneys generally,! to allow no higher
rate of interest than tour per cent, per annum
on temporary deposits made on aud alter May I,
until "further notice," which proviso is con
strued as meaning an early abandonment of the
plan ot receiving those temporary deposits on
any terms. It is lurther indicated 'by the readi
ness with which Congress responds to the de
mands of the people, in making such reductions
of the legal taxes as are compatible with the sol
vency of the republic, and its determination to
discharge its indebtedness as swiftly as feasible,
by, if not before, the full majority of its obliga
tions, floating and funded. It is (till more con
clusively demonstrated by the unlimited confi
dence of men of means in the superiority of the
public funds, as an investment of tbe very best
class.
tromthix confidence has sprung the demand
for the national interest bearing obligations,
which has swept the market clean of all accu
mulations; which, in a very shirt period, has
curried the price ol the six per cents of 1881
from 104i to 1084; the Five-twenties (original
issue) from 103 to lOOi; the Ten-torttes, five per
rents, from 81 to iiGfthe Seven-thirties, from
HO to 1H1$; one-year Certificates of Indebtedness
Irom 97 to 10UJ, and Compound-interest legal
enders to an equivalent of their full par value,
and the whole ot the accrued int rest: and
which is likely to carry them to much higher
figures before mid-summer.
In view of all these circumstanses, we are
not surprised to learn from Washington that,
in high legislative as well as in executive cir
cles, confidence is expressed in the entire feasi
bility of marketing five per cent, bonds at par,
in sufficient volume to provide for all the short
date obligations of the Tieasury Department,
and thus effectually relieve the Government
from all sources of embarrafsinent, slight or
serious. The revenues of the nation wpre never
so marvellously prolific. They now lar exceed
the December estimates of Secretary McCul
loch, thouph thy are not ahead of our own
anticipations. The national expenses are being
retrenched with commendable energy. The
industry and commerce of the country are unu
sually prosperous, considered as a whole.
Tbe money market is suffering from what the
money writers call "a plethora" of surplus
capital, which is in great need of a secure
outlet to prompt, permanent, and lucrative em
ployment. The disturbances ol uiu world con
cerns make very little, if any impression on
our great national interests. Everything, in-
opea, promises auspiciously tor tue speedy and
successful inauguration ot tne I undmg process.
by which Secretary McCulloch will be enabled
to place the public indebtedness in a manage
able form, on terms In harmony with the
illimitable resources and unblemished credit of
the republic.
The Great Gnrne ot European Reconstruc
tion JJiplomacy versus War.
Frnm the Herald.
Count Bisinark last summer spent a number
cf days with the Emperor Napoleon at Biarritz.
The ruler of Fraece and the first man in the
kinedoin of Prussia did not meet to exchange
the commonplaces ofelegsnt civility, or to dis
cuss the trivialities of polite life. They dis
eased the map of Europe. They went over it
thoroughly, and settled and determined upon a
definite plan f.-r the reartangement of every
continental frontier. That conlorenee was tho
real starting point of the grand game that Bls
mark iB now Bluying in Germany. Every point
ot the game was either suggested to the auda
cious Minh-ter by the deepest strategist indiolo
mucy that Europe has seen tor centuries, or,
fromwhutever tide suggested, it wui fully ex
amined between the two. At the same time
the Lnipeor of France bad somo cause for un
easiness In the situation on this side of tin) At
lantic. The Rebellion was prostrate; tho great
insurrection that had neutralized the pover of
tho Uuitod States, that bad mad0 the French
expedition to Mexico sale, existed no longer;
Lee bad surrendered in April, and any steamer
niiht have carried the news thut our armies
were being couceutrnted ou tho Illo Grande.
It his Mexican expedition had iuduced bucIi a
result a complication with the United States
It would have tied the Emperor's bands at a
most unloiiunate timeat the very time when
be w anted them free lor a larger game. Accord
ingly the Emperor vas exceedingly uneasy all
that time in relation to these qupstious of
Mc xico and tho United States; impatient at the
slowness ot Maximilian; but complaisant, gra
riou, and ever ready to mako promises at
Wa blngton it the United States cQiild bo kept
still in that way. In the end ot that same sum
mer, in August, or in the early days of Scptem-
ber, the tmperor Napoleon bad a personal con
'ten iiee with King Victor Emanuel,' near the
Italian frrntier; aud as the results of the con
j veisatious at liiarntz are seen now in Prussia,
so tbe results of this second conference are seen
in Italy.- Both nations are armtnsr, and France,
1' ok in? on qutctiv, waits to do what it has been
6ald in the Emperor's s Jite sho would some day
do "pet Belgium and the Khine without firing
a shot." , '
Fraoce will have the Rhine 'for her frontier.
Ageiandizetncnt of Franco at the expense of
an ono is tbe grand object and p n po o ot the
present Napoleon, as of the first, only the pre
sent Emperor pursues tho purpose "by means
very diflcrcnt fiom those that best pleased his
uncle. The manner of the present Emperor's
pursuit of the grand object illustrates happily
the difference between the two ways. The tint
Napoleon would have depended almost solely
on war on hard, magnificent fiehtlng. But
Napoleon HI perceives ihat France cannot fight
tbe power that would be united aicainst bun ou
this issue, aud he combines diplomacy and war.
He comb'ues them In a remarnnble manner.
Exactly wbat chanues have been made in the
IdU fcinco bismark became part of it is not vet
km
own. Bclore that it was tolrablv clear.
Mexico was the corner-stone. The connection
between Mexico and the Rhine country is not
at fiist obious; nevertheless, the expedition to
Mexico v as the very basis oi an arrangement
who-e ult mate object was to utve to France the
coietcd country. The fighting part of tho pro
gitiiume was to he douo m Mexico. A solcuilid
tiunhatlunt c empire was to have tteen built up,
with a Iluptbt rt on the throne. This Ilapobun;
is ch Id less. This splendid empire, with a throne
cuurantecd by France, was then to bo set in tho
balance ncaiiiVt liltrnim nr.d the rickety, dan
gerous Belgian throne, and tbe succession to
Maximilian's empire was to be given to tho Bel
gian heir. Then, upon the death ot Leopold,
the consolidation ot Belgium with France would
have taken place. Prussia's consent was to have
been purchased by the Elbe duchies, Austria's
by the l'auubian principalities, and the German
people were to be soothed by tho gilt ot univer
sal fculirnte, lest as Bismark lately proposed it.
The difficulties and want of success In Mexico
have mud j material changes neees-ary, and these
were arranged at tiiarntz. In its main European
features the great diplomatc campaign goes on
very well yet, and it the present Emperor has to
tight at all tor it he will not fight us the other
did; one ugaiuFt all Europe; but bo will tlebt
with three or lour allies against the one re
tractory power that threatens to break up the
plux. Just now it looks as if this would be
Austria. That power, seeing Russia and Turkey
in tbe waj noi seeing the acquisition of the
principal ittes very clcarlv. heir's too lonnciou-dy
to the Elbe duchies.anu she may have to be con
vinced ot the excellence ol the plan by the
united power ol Prussia, Italy, aud France.
The position ot England preseuts a notable
evidence of the super. ority of tho present Em
peror's method over the method ot the first
Emperor. Diplomacy puts out of the question
a rower that war could never deal with. With
England aside the first Nnpoleon believed that
he could beat combined Europe; consequently
he was always desirous to avoid a collision with
England and to cultivate her lriendsnip. But
he never had auv success In it. She was always
in the number of his enemies, and at last eave
him the finishing blow. How ditlerent is it
now! The power thut once "lought lor all and
paid for all" only looks on. She is always
either neutral in tbe Napoleonic schemes or she
is I he active ally of those verv purposes that
she once combated at such teirible expense.
It is true that the diplomacy ot the present
Napoleon has hud in this tbe as-istunce of great
changes in Encland herself. It was tho Tory
puny that always cairied England into the wars
against I ranee. The people ot Englund, so far
as they had any utterance at that time, were
against the wars and desired that their country
should remain neutral. It was lu defiance of
popular sentiment that the ministry drugged the
nation inio the Holy Alliance, since then the
liberal element has crown stronger. It cannot
be defied now. The grand start it had In 18J2
the growth since that enables it to demand now
a great modification of the Constitution shows
it to be a purty strong enough and rational
enough to keep England out of war until some
one can show a good reason why she should go
in. Nevertheless, great credit is due to the
admirable diplomacy of tbe Emperor that ena
bles him to override that vast power of British
prejudice that grew to gigantic proportions in
the foimer wars. If Napoleon III shall accom
plish by diplomacy what his uncle failed to ac
complish by war, be will leave a better tame in
Europe.
