We Rliall recftv- in about a month the English ner?pnpcr containing accounts of tbe Fenian inrnion of Canada, RnJ copious comment tbrrfiiDon, Probably it would ba too much to lopo tbat thi Timra and It contemporaries would reproduce those alin'rable dissertations on the rights and dii'ies of neutrals by wblch we were iuetructpd during the lour years of the Rebellion. It was an object then to g'low that neutrality covered all privilege and few obliga tions. Now, the English press, bavins com pleted its homilies on that side of tbo question, will present the other view with equal sincerity uuu ivtw, nun wui umcover a vum numocr 01 duties wh ch the American Oovernmcnt i. oalliid upon to perforin in order to prevent an expedition from Its own Boil Into JUnti-.li territory. Mr. Vernon llarcotirt. having ex hauled his learning and liw logic to prove that no precedent could be found apainet tbe fitting out of piratical cruisers In neutral ports to prey on the commerce of a b 1 ligerpnt, will reappear in the Times with irh arguments lor the obligation restlusr on our wuthorit.eg to protect the Canada frontier of a thousand miles asainst all hostile excursion. We have not the slightest doubt tbut ho will Fticceed In this new enterprise as well a in the old, and we can easily predict tbat the dear, stupid British public, with its chronic inca pacity lor secinp, two sides of a question at the same time, will read its morning liible and "lli iorieus"ite prophet, with a faith not less im plicit than when he discoursed upon the same topic from a different point of view. It will not oe difficult to adduce, in this new line of argu ment, a number of historical parallels. We may compare, for instance, the crossing of the Fenians with the escape ol the Auibuna. "We find General Grant, tbe moment the matter promibed to become serious, hurrying to UutJalo, summoning his ollicers to duty, and suggesting tbat tbe niiiitia be called out to prevent hostile expeditions Irom leaving the United State. It "would complete tbe parallel wero we able to eay that the Lordi ot the Admiralty, when Brat warned of the Alabama, hurried down to Liverpool to lay an embargo on her departure, when it was announced that the Fenians were Moving between the American and Canadian shore, tbe armed American steamer Michigan, -Willi a number ot consorts, patrolled the inter vening waters to prevent e ther reinforcements ortetreat. The name of the Bru sh mau ot war which did polio duty m the Mersey to intercept the Alabama on a similar occasion has escaped our memory. We And General Mm1e first at Eastpoit, in Maine, then in Buffalo, N. l.,tben rating along the railways to Ojdens Durg, to reMbt successive movements ot tbe .r emans against ditlcient parts ol Canada. Who is his British rival In activity and zeal f when the lotce under O'Neill are compelled to retreat, the Michigan captures them, and Sir Jrcaerick Brue at Washington besjsMr. Seward that they may be detained till a demand can bo made for their extradition. Mr. Seward, with i is reverence for precedents, might hare quoted Jo Sir Frederick Bruce the S.enandoai return Jug to Liverpool with a British crew, and could lave recalled with much effect the adjudication of Lord Clarendon that there was no evidence upon which any ot the men could be held. Fol lowing that example, he should have directed the discharge of the mistaken patriots whom the indiscreet commander of the Michi had made prisoners. But we find Mr. Seward ordering their detention in the cus tody of the United States Marshal. Surelv, this 3s such an act of disrespect to the Foreigu Miuls ler ot Great Britain as will provoke a dignified 1 remonstrance. W hen Sir Fredei Ick addressed Mr. So ward on the general sutject of Invasion, he should have fceeu met, as Mr. Adams was met by Earl Rus eell, with the assurance that the Foreign Oillce was in possession of no ollicial information on tbe subiect. He should have been assured that due inquiry would be made. He should have Tieen referred to the Collector of Customs at Siutlalo as the proper official to institute an In vestigation, and, by the Collector, should have TDeen passed along to the Board of Advisers, and l).y them to the District Attorney, and by htm to lhe Grand Jury for the District, and so on Inde finitely. That would have been in strict accord ance with British precedent, anl it is greatly to Tie regretted that Mr. Seward should have shown iin.selt so toreettul ot these monuments of In ternational law arising out of our own most re ceut diplomat'c negotiation. The fact that he exchanges places with Earl Russell, anl Sir Frederick Bruce with Mr. Adams, cannot alter the law under which the cases are to be deeded. 3.he lact that it is your bull and not my ox tbat was gored, never did make any difference din it? Well, we believe the British nation and Gov n.nietit, though they did us grievous wrong ano harm, are still capable of generous im pulses, and will be put to honorable shame by the strenuous and intelligent etforrs of our Gov ernment to execute its neutrality obligations. have gone back to British precedents, to .have called up all the remembrances from our tml war which might have justified us In disre garding international comitv and good will, woild have pratitied a momentary passion among the people; but we are sure that twenty Sears hence America will bo glad to recollect that no exasperation was bitter enough to cause a virlation of our duties, or to occasion an offi cial blindness towards tbe acts of men who with only toleration extended tbem, could tasily have wro-ted from Great Britain her jnou important North American colony. Whether, however,' our Government has uot Bbown an over-aQxIous and superserviceable zeal apainst the' Fenians, is a matter on which there may be two opinions. We would have had the President do bis whole dutv under the law, yet keep rietdly withiu the requirements of international com.ty. There was no occasion to do more than our duty. We had a legal, Jiot amoral obliaation, to "reat Britain, and we doubt whether all the activity on the frontier Which Washington telegrams have stimulated comes within the l mits of the law. The European C isis-rians of P'tis,la. itom the Daily Ktw It may not be generally known that all al jng Prussia-, under the lead of Bismark, has had other objects in view besides mere territorial aggrandizement by the absorption of the lbe Duchies Schleswig-Holstein. Prussia has what may almost be called a hereditary plan for the future. She is determined to become a great aval as well as military power in the northern centre of Europe. As at present constituted, Jier territorial limits confine her to the Baltic, the southern coast of which only is under her ruler What Russia seeks by her meditated ad vance to the South, and by striving to possess lhe Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, Prussia In tends to obtain by the possession of Schleswlg and Holsteln. Her main porta of Dantzio and Stettin are dependent on the free and unob structed passage ot the Sound and the Kat eirat and a small naval detachmeut in these narrows would completely shut up the Prussian navv 3n the Baltic, and render it useless for other service. Hence it was that at the time ot the proposed imperial union of Germany, as resolved bv the Parliament at Frankfort in 184!), the attempt to create a German Beet was no where more loudly cheered, more heartily indorsed, and more ener Ke;ically supported and assisted, than among the people of Prussia. Upon the collapse ot the movement inaugurated at Frankfort, the two v. ar vessels actually provided for the "Gorman INtttv" were seized by Prussia, and, if still on duty, are in her servtre. But the idea ol a TgE DAIM EVENING TELEG R APIL PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, "German Navy" had taken root, not only amonr the people, but tbe Government of Prusia. It was at once obvious to them that the llm and starting point should bo a naval depot, an J loca ted to that Its usefulness should not be deoen dent upon the ability ol Prussia to ktiop the Sound and the Kattegat open. Tbo Prussian Government entered, therefore, into negotiation! with Hanover, and bnaliy acquired, bt purchtse, and cession ol jurisdiction, a port and site Siilta-' b!e for a naval depot on the North 8na, now called Jabilcbusen, where lor mote than h'n yi ars millions have been expended to make it a sa'e harboi lor the Prussian fleet, a port of re fuge in caso of disaster, and a depot ol arma ment and supply in cane ot intended expeditions. The conquest ol the Elbe Juchies, however, save Prussia an increaed oopor unltv to realize ns cherished object. Kiel is a nlendld harbor, capable ot holding t1i largest fleet on the con tinent without borne ov irrowded; and hence we find that In the Gasteln Convention, a sepa rate provision is inserted as to Kiel iu favor of Prussia. But Kiel opens out on the Baltic, and is therefore subiect to the same drawbacks as the oilier Prussian harbors to the east ol it. Still, it was a great Improvement in the position ol Prussia as a naval power. It Is onlv the entire possession bv Prussia of the two Duchies of Schleswm aud Holsteln. bv which the can ultimately achieve what she wants. The Doundarv between Holsteln and SchJeswig is the river Eider, entering the North Sea at Toenninp, and being connected wr,h the Baltic by the tiler Canal, from Rendsburg to Ir.ednchstadt. This Klder Canal, as at present built, is not what it was proiected once to be come. During the continuance of tbe Danish Sound duties it was proposed to widen and deepen tbe river, and ouild the canal so that all vepf pU of any size may pass Irom the North Sea to the Baltic, wtihtut paying dutv to Denmark at Klsiuore. The hostility ot the German popu lation ot the Duchies to the Panes viewed this piojectin the lurht of a patriotic and peculiarly Gel man undertakinc Money was contributed, survevs made, preliminary work done, and the canal as at present existing between Rendsburg and Frledrichstndt completed, as a boelnninx lor the greater work of a grand, capacious ship canal between tbo two oceaus, when the capi talization of the Sound dus, aud their conss quent abolition, did away with the main caus lor it, and it has remained uncompleted ever since. We do not hesitate at all to say it, although we have nowhere as jet seen any definite Indi cation of such a purpose on the part of Prussia, that Bismark is not lorsretlul of tho tmrti. tional attempts of his Government to secure for Itself the position of a tirs-clas naval power in the, northern oceans ol Europe. The hardy population of the Duchies Is attaehed and inured to sea life. Tbe large mercantile marine ot Ilambure, Lubeck, and Bremen is recruited in the largest portion Irom these Duchie. Go on bard of any vessel of these three Hanseat c cities, and you find that Hoisteiners and Schleowigprs predominate among the crew. And the reouiaiion for sea-taring qualities of tbe Hanseatic mariner is unquestionably second to none. Considering, moreover, the natural faci lities the river Eider offers for an uninter rupted water communication bet ween the North hea and the Baltic, taking in view the eminout location of Toenulng or Frudricbstadt as a naval depot on Prussian soil, in immediate con nection and communication by wafer and rail with tbe rest ot the Prussian monarchy, and not a mere outpost, surrounded by foreign territory, it is not io be expected that Prussia would yield up such great prospective advantages, promising to add so vastly to her greatness as a military nnvr.l power, Without a struggle, or at the kid dine ol diplomatists assembled around thegfTen table of an European Congress. International Aspect of the Fenian War. From the Herald. No matter how diverse maybe the views of Individuals as to the success or failure of the Fenian war, there 19 in Ihls countiy a unani mous sentiment of congratulation that Canada has at last been made to feel some ot the Injuries w hich the Brltibh inflicted upon us during the recent Rebellion. This sentiment may not be very charitable, but it is decidedly natural. England commenced her inimical proceedings at the very outset o our Rebellion by recognizing the belligerent rights of the seceded States. Canada heartily approved of this recognition. Then English subjects, and Canadians amoner them, took care tbat the Rebels were supplied with arms, ammunition, clothing, machinery, and all the necessaries of war, and one of the islands in possession of the British became a regular Rebel depot. Next Rebel privateers were furnished by England, armed with British cannon and manned with seamen trained in the royal navy, aud these riratical vessels drove our commerce from lie seas, euloyed peculiar privileges in the Eiitish harbors, British dockyards, and British colonies, aud were in every respect better treated by tbe official representatives of England than were the ships of the United 8tates navy. A British yacot was on hand to rescue Captain Semmts when he was fairly our prisoner, and British Judges repea edly connived in the most flagrant manner at the escape of Rebel crews. When we captured Mason aud SUdell England was ready to go to war with us if they were not released. Thus by a thousand outrageous acts of hostility Ennland has created an enmity against her on the part of the American people which exceeds iu bitterness the feeling gene rated by the wars ot the Revolution and of 1812. and which will not soon be forgotten by a nation so quick to resent an injury. This enmity towards Great Britain in part accounts lor the general satisfaction with which ih news of the Fenian invasion ot Canada was re- i ceiveo. But, besides this, the Canadians have them selves run up a score of ill-will wblch the Fenians are now assisting us to settle. A neigh boring people, bound to us by innumerable social aud business ties, and enjoying nearly all tbe benefits of a Reciprocity treaty that has since been abrogated aj a punishment tor tneir onenses, we had a right to expect their svutpathy durirg our terrible troubles. Instead of this the Canadians uot only cordially endorsed the hostile proceedings of ihe home Government, and echoed tbo Parliamentary reioiciugs over the supposed ruin of the American Uuior, but they were iusaue enough io uudenake to attack us upon their own accouut. Duriug tho whole war Canada was simply a Rebel rendezvous. The Rebel leaders used it as a northern base of operations against us. In Cauada Rebel emis saries labored, Rebel expeditions were organized, aud the Rebel communications with Europe were maintained unbroken. From Canada came the inceudianes with black valises to burn our cities, tie gangs of Rebel pirates to seize the iheaapeale and other steamers, and the secret conspirators and assassins to murder our President. Canadians sent us Infected clothing to devastate the country with smallpox and yellow fever, and laid projects for poisoning our citizens by wholesale by infuoiug deadly minerals into our reservoir's. Out of Canada eame the bands ol highwaymen who robbed tho banks and plundered the iuhabltauts of our liontier towns. Canadian Judtres refused to condemn these men, and tbe Canadian police weie known to bo in league with them. These facts, and others of tie same character, are mat ters ol history. The American people remember them well, aud we should be either more or less than human If we did not look upon the Fenian invasion of Canada as a Nemesis, and smile to see the Canadians suffering from some of the same injuries which they were so anxious to inflict upon us. Aside trom this natuial popular complacency, however, theiels nothing in common between the neutiality observed by the British in our war and by us in this Fenian war. British neutrality was a sham; American neutrality is real. British neutrality was merpl.y a diabolical device to aid the Rebellion without openly fight ing us; our neutrality is so uncompromising that it assists our enemies, the British, and hurts our friends, the Feuians. We have not recog nized the Fenlaus as a belliaereut power, nor allowed Fenian Alabavias and & ftenandoah to leave our porU, nor supplied the Fenians with aims, amniuultiou, artillery, uuiloims, and pro vision. Had we done so, or had vte done nothing, Ihe Fenian flag would now floating over Montreal and Toronto. If the Onmu bo fle rated it will be by out Government, and not tV the British irgularand t'armdiaa militia. Our Government cut oil ih Pcniaj remiorc tin tits, ai.d thus compelled thoin io retreat, when the Canadians Hed belore the band 'ul that had CKif sed the border. Our Gorcrnn.cnl has selwl tbe arm! and ammunition ol toe F nl.ms, thus depriving them of their power to tight. Tela is neutrality as we understand Jt, and s Knghmd did not understand it when we were In diu'icul tief. WhPihei or not our Government nan acted i-ely Is a question lor th" future 'o determine. The malority ot our people boli'-ve that our neutrality ought to have been modelled exaotlv upon tbat ot Eugland, and that, intad of crip pling tbe Fenians, we ought to have assisted tbem. The Government thought differently; and in spite of all the European suoer about the mob law which rules in this country our people have again shown, as In the Trent case, that they will lojallv su-tain the legal authorities even when the Government conies In conflict with the popular sentiment of the mo-nont. It now remain to be seen whether the magna nimity of the UDiled States will be appreciated by tbe British. The Government s'.iouli at once renew tho demand for tho Alabama claims. Let us see whether Kne land is cnlighioned enough to be willing to pay tbem now. The Canadians are talking about shooting tbe Fenians after a drumhead coutt martial. This ought not to bo permitted; for among the Fenians there may be some veteran American soldiers, whoso lives must not be sacrificed. Any demand br the Fenian prisoners taken by the Michigan must also be refused, with tbo case ol Captain Semmes tor a precedent. In a word, it Eug Ir.nd will acknowledge her offenses against neutrality, pay the Alahama damages, and con sult us in a iriendly spirit a to the final deposi tion to be made of those Fenians whose plans have been deleated by the United States offi cinls rather thnn by the Canadian?, our people may then be bi ought to percolve the wisdom of tho course oi'tlie Government. But ii the event proves that we can teach Eugland nothing by a good example, then the next Fenian invas on will have quite another ending, and our neu trality will be ot a very different pattern. Permanent and Precarious Incomes. Fn m the Daily Newt. Theie is a very objectionable feature in the Income Tax, which it would be well Tor Con gress, In its reformation of the Internal Revenue laws, to take Into consideral on. -This is the Ini positiou of the same rate of duty upon such per manent incomes as are derived fiom real estate and niotetary investments in stocks, shares.mort gaecs, etcetera, from what may be called capi talized property, and upon such piecarious ones as are derived from labor and the profits ot trades and professions. It is true that no dis tinction is made m the duties levied upon in comes in Gieut Britain, jet there has alwavs been, and still contiutics to be, a largo body of niHiieutialmenaud persistent financial reformers iu that country, who are sioutly opposed to tbe present sy.-tem of taxing all iucomes alike; bjt tl.of-c aie overruled by the aristociats and land owners in Parliament, who naturally desire tj ksseu thoiron burdens as much as p jssible, even thouth it should necessitate an unfair weight bc.ng carried by tho industrial popula tion ol the kingdom. Now it forcibly str.kes us that the very cause which nrodurea such inhm. lice in un aristocratic country, should have the etlect ot leading to a more equitable adjustment ot tbe burdens which are required to be borne b.v the citizens of a republican and eminently industrial nation. The profits of all trades and professions mav be looked upon as liie annuities, the owners of which are, by fhe present system of levying the income tax, charged five times as much as those more fortunate persons who have investments in real estate or otherwise, who maybe said to be the most wealthy persons in tlie land, and who possess that surplus fund which is over and above w hat is requued for the maintenance of tLe productive classes, and live upon it without any labor of their own. Tbe security ot property, more than anything else, depends upon the stability of a govern ment; therefore property should' contribute its pioper porfortion to the support of government. A person's income flora such a source depre ciates in proporiion as his property is less secure. But if by a stable government his pro perty is rendered perfectly sate, ho is not only enabled during his life to support himself with out labor, but at bis death to leave tho entire of his possessions to whomever he chooses to be queath them. It is dillerent with tho man who gains his livelihood by labor, or lives upon the profits of trade or Trolession. A good govern ment certainly guarantees to him security in his person, but it secures him no income except that lor which he toils; and, when bis capital solely consists in his own brums or iu his brawny arms, it is extinguished at Lis death. It is not lair, then, that the latter, w bo does not receive so large an amount of protection trom the government as the former, should be re quired to bear au equal amount ol taxation. But there are other and still more weighty reasons why precarious incomes should be less heavily taxed than permanent ones. We can rest explain the matter by an illustration. Two persons potsess incomes ot live thousand dollars a year each. A obtains his irom the rental of leal estate, which he inherited; it satisfies his desires, so be lives an idle life, contributes nothingto the general welfare of the country, and when he dies leaves tho entire piopei ty tohis descendants. B is a lawyer or phjsiclan, whose professional education has cwt several years ot study, and perhaps au out lay of some lour or five thousand dollars. After some years of weary waiting he manages to earn the five thousand a ear, but he cannot afford to live up to the extent ol bia income, like his more iortunate neighbor A, because it Is a precarious one, dependent on bis exertions aud health; he must therefore set aside a ceitain sum annually, so that he may have the means ot support when overtaken by sickness or old age, or in the event of death, so that he can leave a provision lor bis widow and probably a young iamily. And jet B's precarious income is taxed pre cisely tho same amount as A's permanent one. it is not only manifestly unlalr, but highly impolitic, thai the annual proceeds of property and industry should be taxed alike. When a discrimination is made in lavo.-ol tbe latter, the income tax will escape a pait of the odium it has at present, to bear. Every inducement should bo given the possessor ol a precarious income to set apart a portion tbeieof lor "a rainy day;" this, iu its turn, would become per manent property, the proceeds of which would be liable to the higher rate of duty that should be Inipo ed upon permanent incomes. Taxation, at tbe best, can never be said to meet with favor in the ejesof the people, who have to bear ir; but when taxes are fairly distributed, the burden becomes far less onerous thau when the reverse is the rule. TLe Ilcconstiuction Question. From the World. Reconstruction is rapidly sinking in Congress from the strategy of a campaign to the tactics of a particular battle. At tue beginning of the session, the predominating idea of tbe Republi cans was to keep the Southern States out of na tional politics as long as possible; the predomi nant idea at preseut is, to enable the Republicans to carry the next Congressional elections. They will pitch their election song In a key low enough for the conservative Republicans, relying on party unity lor success. If aschiam can be prevented, they expect io elect the next Con gress, and thus retain control of the Govern ment duriug the pendency of the Presidential election. The radicals can affc rd, in this view, any tem porary relaxation in the rigor of their princi ples whicn does not lead to the immediate admitsion of the Southern members. This Con- fress, which does not expire until the 4tb of larch, IHU7, will hold another session after the elections; when they can revise their present action, and venture upon bolder measures. But if they lose the next Congress, their party is uudoi e. The modifications of the Reconstruc tion plan made by the (senate caucus trausiorm it Into a shape which will be generally accept able to the rarty. The onlv remaining hitch t i tbetr programme is the difficulty of mask ii'g their hostility to - the President, The ph'ti tonsisls of two parte: certain proposed um iidnirnta td the Constitution, and cer ium njCo:npHU)iua aets ot legislation. The 'Juhm iu.ioioui iy proposes that the first part shall be aoopted, ami' the second omitted, e a means ol circumventing the President and stifling any open declaration or bin dissent. It ts beld that the propose! Constitutional amend ments may be submitted to the H'ates without a? king his approval; and if that part of toe plan which It is proposed to embody into laws su-ill be defeired, he will be reduced to official silence by want of an opportunity to interpose his veto. Tbls cratty suggestion for dwarfing the President to a nonentity doubtle.-s had its origin in the scheming brain ot Mr. Johnson's Secre tary of State. The Time astutely shows (we repeat the substance ot its argument, not its lorni) that the surest guarantee lor keeping the Southern States out, is the election ot another Congress like tho present which will be most securely done b.v putting the President In a vacuum, like a bell which loses its sound In the exhausted receiver ol an air-pun'p. The caucus scheme is cunningly devised lor mtstcprcsenting the position, and counteracting the inlluence, ot the President. Certain expres sions said to have been, at some time, used by Mr. Johnson, are industriously paraded to con vey the impression that he has virtually ap proved of the leading features of this scheme in advance. It is alleged that he, at one time, ex- piessea u mi sen not uiuavorauic to an amend ment of the Constitution apportioning represen tatives to tbe States in rbo ratio of their quali fied voters: and that he has more thun oiwh lir. nltied his opposition to Rebcl holdingotlice. No- oony Knows ocirer man tue authors ot this trick that they pervert tho lonauage of tho President, ll h tavors the apportioning of lepresentatives to voters, it does not theuce fo lo til fit ho thinks thi is a proper prerequisite of reconstruc tion, yvc ociicvc np also favors an amendment dispensing with Presidential electors, and giving the election directly to the people; but it would be absurd to infer that ho therefore disapproves ol holding any mere Presidential elections until such an amendment is adopted. Ho deprecates the election ot RencJs, as be would deprecate the re-election of Thad. Sevens and Charles Sum ner; but it does uot lol'ow that he wishes to ren der either class ineligible by an amendment to the Constitution. Tbe position of Pre.ident Johnson is as clear as it is impregnable, and no political cnicauery can obscure it. Whatever Constitutional amend ments he may desire or deprecate, he is unmis takably committed to tho light of the Southern States to immeaiiite representation. It is irrele vant to say that he wishes this, or opposes that, unless tbe retailers ol his saungs are prepared to prove that he docs not desire the rcstoiatiou of the Union until all his pcrsoual opinions are made a part of the Constitution. His posit.on Is, that all the States are entitled to be repre sented now, and consequently that Congress has no light to exact any conditions to the exercise 6f that right. He has committed himself to this position in every possible way in which the Chief Magistrate of the country can commit btmself io anytuiiig in nis Annual Message, in his veto messages, in repeated public speeches to citi zens, in innumerable private conversations. It is, tbereiore, the sheerest dishonesty to pretend that be is in any way committed, directly or in directly, to the scheme of the Sctintp, cmicn o f n condition of reconstruction. He maintains that the South has been, lor more than six months, entitled to representation, without con ditions of any kind deriving the right directly from the Constitution. Ot the many arguments in lavor of this right, we will pieseut one to which we wish some Re publican lournal (tbe Tribune, if it pleases) would attempt a reply. This argument is founded on the irrepealable nature of certain acis of Congress. Tbat some acts oi Cougiess are not repealable at tho pleasure of that body is manliest, as, for example, the law which fixes the compensation of a President actually in oflice. The Con-tilution declares that ihe Pre dent shall received a compensation which shall not be Increased nor diminished during his term. Another law irrepealable in its nature is that passed after each decennial census, apportion ing the represent ahves among the States lor the ensuing ten years. The apportionment, when once passed, is as much ftied tor the period, as is the salaiy ot the President for his term. Now, our argument is. that what Congress is prohibited by the Constitution from doing directly, It cannot rtahtlully do bv a subter luge. Congress cannot alter the salary of a President in office; but may it deprive him of it by neglecting to pass an appropriation bill? Its power over appropriations is suppored to be complete; but who does not see that it would be abused If used to deleat a plain provision of the Constitution? So it cannot repeal the law, passed in 18C2 (while the Rebellion was iu full blast ), apportioning a certain number of repre sentatives to the Southern (as well as all the other) States; but may it accomplish itB virtual repeal b.v an abuse of the power of each House to judge of the qualifications of its members? The idea is preposterous; it is difficult to see how any honest mind can entertain it. Suppose that this were the year for faking a new census; the Southern Stales would be in cluded in it, of course. Suppose tho census already taken, and this the year (or making the apjioitionment ot Representatives louuded on P ; would Congress declare that the House should consist of a certain number of members, and proceed to distribute them all among tne States now represented ? Wbo does not perceive tbat this would be in open dedance of one of the niost imperative provisions of the Constitution ? But il the Constitution would be defied and trampled on by neglecting to assign eleven States their share in the apportionment, it is not lets violated in refusing them the seals to which an unrepealed irrepealable apportionment act declares them entitled. It Is as if a court of justice should i el use a suitor au execution alter recording a judgment in bis favor. SHIRTS, FURNISHING GOODS, &c W. SCOT T & C 0..
