The persistent efforts of Mr. Beecher to cost
blame on the Republican majority of the pre
sent Congress R9 at. least equally vita Presi
leat Johnson responsible lor the frrave exist
ing difference between them, impel.' mi, in the
interest of truth and justice, to make a statement
of facts.
I was one of the many who early apprehended
fend anxiously deprecated a breach between
Congress and tho President. Soon after our
lust State election, and before the assembling of
the present Congress, I went, not uninvited, to
Washington, expressly to guard against such a
difference. Being admitted to an Interview
with the President, I urged him to call to Wash
ington three of the most eminent and trusted
expositors of Northern anti-slavery sentiment,
and three equally eminent and representative
Southern ex-Rcbels, and ask them to take up
their residence at tho White House for a week,
a fortnieht, so long as they might And neces
sary, while they, by tree and friendly conference
and discussion, should earnestly endeavor to
tind a common ground whereon the North and
the South should be not merely reconciled, but
mmle evermore fraternal and harmonious. I
suggested that the President should occasion
am , us ho could find time, drop in on tnese
conferences and offer such suggestions as he
should deem fit rather as a moderator or
common mend, than an a party to the dis
cuxsion. A suggestion of names being Invited, I pro
posed those of Governor Andrew, of Massachu
setts; Gerritt Smith, of New York; and Judge R.
P. Spaulding, of Ohio, as three who seemed to
me lair representatives of the anti-slavery senti
ment of the North, while neither specially ob
noxious to nor disposed to deal harshly with
the South; and I added that I hoped they would
be met dv men like General Robert E. Lee,
Alexander II. St 'plicns, etc., who would be re
couuized and heeded by the 8outh as men In
whose bands ner honor aud true interests would
be safe, but 1 added thut 1 had no special de
sire that these or any particular men should be
selected, wishing only thut those chosen from
either section should be such, as to commaud
their people's confidence and support. And I
pledged mjsclt to support, to the extent of my
power, any adjustment that should thus be ma
tured and aorrecd upon.
Some two nioslhs later, after tho meeting of
Congress, and when the political sky had be
come darker, I went again to Washington, on
the assurance of a mutual triend that the Pre
sident desired to see mc. The Joint Committee
on Reconstruction had then been appointed.
At an interview promptly accorded, I urged the
President to invite this Committee to the White
House, and discuss with them, trom evening to
eveniner, as friend with friends, all the phases
of the grave problem of reconstruction, with a
fixed resolve to tind a basis of agreement if pos
sible. I urged such considerations as occurred
to me in favor ot the feasibility of such agree
ment if it weie earnestly sought, as I felt sure
it, would be on the side of Congress. The vast
patronage in the President's hauds the reluct
ance of the majority in Cousress to see their
iriends, supporters, and nominees expelled by
wholesale from office, and their plaees supplied
by bitter aciversaiies the natural anxiety of
every party in power to maintain cordial rela
tions with the head of the Government chosen
by its votes the?e, and a thousand kindred
considerations, rendered morally certain an
aereement between Congress and the President
without a eacrilice of principle on either hand,
if the latter should sincerely seek it.
I speak only ot what I said and proposed, be
cause 1 have no right and no permission to speak
further. That my suggestions were not ioi
lowed, nor anything akin to them, the public
sadly knows. And the conclusion to whicn I
have been most reluctantly forced is, that the
President did not want harmony with Conirress
that he had already made up his mind to break
with the party which had elected him and seek
a further lease of power tbroueh the favor and
support of its implacable enemies.
Horace Greeley.
The Second I-etttr from Ills Holiness
tlie Protestaut Pope, Heui-y Ward
Ueeclicr.
From the Herald.
We published on Monday a second epistle
from the Rov. Henry Ward Beecher to a mem
bet of bis congregation, explaining and defend
ing the Cleveland letter, which has attracted
so much attention and comment. Mr. Beecher
takes back none of his former statements, and
denies that he la sorry that he wrote his previ
ous letter. On the contrary, ho reiterates its
views and sentiments, and insists that the
Southern States ought to be Immediately re
stored to their constitutional rights. Both of
his epistles are so conservative and so states
manlike that we can no longer rank Mr. Beecher
BTnnniT the mere ministers ot America. lie de
serves to till a higher position than that of
pastor of a Brooklyn cnurcn. we nominate
him for the otlice, aud shail hereafter recognize
him by the title ol, his Holtuess the Protestant
Pnne of the United States.
Afier an attentive perusal of this latest bull of
his Holiness, we tind that we can endorse every
word of u. He criticizes the President severely;
but it is in the spirit ot a Iricnd and not of an
enemy. As he says, tho President has a pecu
liar temper.and is rather apt to assail those who
disagree with him; but Horace Greeley and
Thad Stevens have tne same peculiarities, and do
not possess that kindness of heart aud sincerity
ol tmrDose which redeem President Johnson's
errors. And this bugeests to us tue only weak
point of the second letter of his Holiness. It is
a sin of omission rather than of commission;
but it outrht to be remedied by a good strong
sermon next Sunday, when Pope Beecher re
turns to his congregational pilgrims. The point
is that he neglects to criticize Sumner. PhilllDS.
Wilson. Chandler. Stevens, fireelev. Cheever.
and the other radical leaders with equal seve
nty, li rresiuem jonnson uses severe language,
so Jo the v. "Liar.'' 'traitor." reupcrafle." 'mur
derer," and "wretch" (vide the 'Jrilmne) are the
mildest terms they use in their assaults unnn the
President. Surely, his Holiness the Protestant
Pope cannot sanction such epitbots as these.
and he will take the earliest opportunity to
rebuke them.
To President Johnson's numerous excellencies
Jto his borror ot secession, his resistat.ee to the.
Rebel leaders, his heroism in the dark days of
the war. Ma jeaiousy or centralization, nts Mm
niieitv of manners, and his true love of the com
men people Pope Leecher does the amplest
justice. Ills eioquoui uenieucus cuiu.jieieiy eX'
tinirntsh his would-be critics. He leaves not t
raff ot nnor Greeley's old white coat. Risintr
above the corruDt atmosphere of parties, he will
not call himself a Johnson man or anybody else'i
man. but reeards cuiTcnt events from the
Mtundnoint of "r mntenmaiL. a philosopher, and
Christian. He remember that if President
Johnson sometimes niakca nnVise speeches, so
l.Wnin On his trifl ifom Sprintr-
field to Washineton Mr. Lincoln delivered
. various off-hand addresses, and everybody ien
tuought that ho was not. earnest enougn.
.On bti trip from Washington to fcpringfleld
Johnson has also spoken often, and many
Kople think that he is too much in earnest,
oth Lincoln and Johnson sprang from an
origin not favorable to finished oratory. The
one waa a flat-boatman from Kentucky and
Illinois, and the other a tailor from North Caro
lina and Tennessee. To expect the polish ot an
Everett from such men would be absurd. It is
enough for Pope Beecher, as for all other sensl
U pvople, that these Presidents should have
correct convictions and carry them out man
fully. This is the moral of the eeon1 epistle
of his Holiness, and we commend It tJ tho In
telligent masses of the country.
Cnrlotta and Itlitorl-The Two tlueen
of the Latin Uace.
From the Herald.
The latest intelligence from Europe informs
us that Carlotta, the Empress of the Latin race
on this continent, bus retired from Paris to the
chateau of Maximilian at Miramar. A despatch
by the Atlantic cable announced that at about
the same date another foreinnor of the Latin
r,ace (Ristorl, the Queen of Tragedy) embarked
for this country at Brest, Here we see the
beautiful compensations which Providence
makes for our losses. The Empress whom Na
poleon appointed is obliged to retire from this
continent on account of a slight misunderstand,
ing between her troops and those of Juarez,
backed by the sympathies of the United Slates;
but hardly has she departed when another
Queen, who owes her power to her nonius,
conirti from the Latin race to dominate over
those hearts which resisted even the witchery
of Carlotta.
Ristori will find the drama of this country in
a tearfully demoralized condition, and we rely
uiion her to regenerate and relnvigorate it.
The most ot our lead ins managers have been
dreadiully HHMumizcd. The elegant and ac
complished Wallack, once tho class of fashion
and the n;Ould of (orm, has been reduced to the
condition ol the Feejec meimaid, which, if we
recollect Bu mum's book correctly, was half
monkey and half codtish. The fratrrant and
dandyish Wheatlcy, whose lutimates used to
address him as ''Sweet William," has been
cruelly metamorphosed Into a sort of Joyce
Heth id breeches, an object rather of commise
ration than ol envy. The jovial and convivial
Stuart, who once clutched the mauaeerial dia
dem at a simile bound to ue his owu eloquent
words now resembles the woolly horse, created
With one leg shorter than the other so na to
graze around the mountain tops, which have
been rather barren of late, so far as this person
age is concerned. In short, the whole manage
rial association have been as weak 83 that herd
of bufialoes that Barnum exhibited over at
Hoboken, and as unlike their former selves as
Barnum's old model of Niagara Palls, worked
with a pump and a bucket ot cold water, was
unlike the genuine cataract, that astonishes all
beholders.
. The consequences ol this Btirnumi.ntion of the
managers have been excessively deleterious to
our theatres. One member of the association,
like Barnum's Circassian girl from Germany,
has had to withdraw from the business. Another,
like B irnuin's fat woman, has melted out ot
sirht. The houses of a third are as bogus as the
Indian club which Barnum exhibited to Gay lord
Clark as the genuine bludgeon that Powli'itan
used to kill Captain John Smith; whereupon
Clark replied thut he was glnd that Barnum
possessed this bludgeon, as he had already seen
it in several other museums. We are afraid that
those establishments which still keep open
under the patronage of the association are, like
Barnum's whaleB, not very long lived, However
much they may spout about their success at
present.
With played-out comedies and tragedies, and
with actors who go their dull and weary rounds
with the same resjulanty and about the same
spirit as omnibus horses, the associated theatres
cannot hope for any large share ot public sup
part. But Ahen Uist'Ti comes we anticipate
that her resplenJent geuius will infuse new
vie or into the Bainiimized drama and make the
theaties once more attractive. She can teach
tbe actors how to perform aud revive the gene
ral interest in the stage. Unlike Rachel! who
was as cold and splen'iid as an iceberc glittering
in the sun, Ristori acts Irooi the heart and to
the heart, and arouses the utmost enthusiasm of
her audience. Her debut at the French theatre
will inaugurate a grasd new era ot tbe drama,
and Manager Gruu, who at least resembles an
Emperor in wearing an imperial, mav congratu
late himseli that be has surpassed Napoleon in
giving us a queen of the Latin race who will be
heartily welcome, and whose reign will be cor
dially respected, except, perhaps, by some Bohe
mian guerillas.
Equal Right ill the South.
From the Times
Governor Orr's message to the Legislature of
South Carolina furnishes encouraging evidence
that the leading men of the Southern States are
by no means indifferent to the changes which
the war and the abolition of slavery have made
in their affairs. He has called the Legislature
together lor the express purpose ot making such
alterations in their laws concerning the freed
men as justice and good policy require. He
recommends their admission as witnesses into
court, not only when their own Interests are in
volved, but in all cares whatsoever. Their testi
mony, he urges, should be received where whites
alone are concerned itist as freely as where the
rights ol colored persons are involved. Justice
requires this, and without it, he sajs, in very
many cases crime win po unpunisneo. au in
habitants of the State, he insists, without dis
tinction ot color, should be placed upon the
same footing in regard to civil rights.
Governor Orr sasthat the distinctions f-till
made between the races in this respect are due
to the spirit ot caste createi by slavery ; and that
hb thiB has teen destroyed, those distinctions
should also disappear. This Is true aud lust,
una strikes at tne root oi tne wooie matter.
When slavery was swept away all grounds lor
fcuch distinctions were swept away also. It is
encouraging to tind this fact recognized in so
distinct aud so practical a way, by the leading
men of the South. It shows thai they under
stand the nature of tne revolution through
which they have passed, and are fully prepared
tu make it the basis ot tueir new civil aud indus
trial system. It is far better lor the whole
country, and especially lor the ueeroes them
selves, that this great work should bo thus done
by the voluntary action of the Southern .States
than imposed upon them by the National Gov
ernment. Mr. Beecher 8 argument on this point
Is unanswerable. The mutual Interests of the
two races will compol as well as invite the con
cession oi exact and equal iustico.
We reauid tiovernor Orr s message as a practi
cal response to the declarations of tho Philadel
phia Convention, and as furnishing positive and
cratilying evidence thut the Southern people
intend to fulfil in good I kith all the engagements
then entered into by their representatives, we
hope to see his recommendations promptly
nuopteu dv tne ijceisiature. in otners or tne
Southern States uction has been taken looking
to the same lesult. Pull civil rights are ac
coided to the enfranchised slaves; provision is
made for their education; their relations to tue
whites are amicable and satisioctorv, and every
thing promises a speedy reorganization of indus
try and onler In all departments of Southern
society. Why should we disturb or check so
wholesome and beneficent a process by needless
and hurtful agitation f And why should we
insist upon forcing on the South, by violent and
hostile acts, reforms and movements which they
are evidently doing tor themselves?
The Plottiug Civil War.
From the World.
The first overt step towards preparation for"
another civil war waa taken by the radicals in
passing the resolution of General Paine, of Wis
consin, calling on the States to organize, disci
pline, aud equip their militia, and directing
that two-thirds of the arms, ordnance, and am
munition now under custody of the general
Government be distributed among the States
the distribution among the Northern States to
take place Immediately, and that among the
Southern States to be postponed till further
orders.
Mr. Raymond's exposure of this was the cause
of great nut tt-nng among the radicals, but now
it is openly a part of tbelr plans to so array the
Governors and the mtliriaot the Northern States
against the Federal Government; and ex-Governor
Andrew does not hesitate to allude to the
matter thus In hli recent address before the
Veimont Ajixictiltiiral Society:" Leaving oa
hand at the hnal surrender of tho cue my, three
quartets of a million of rides in the arsenals,
and leaving a body of material and munitions
of war adapted to all the exigencies of ber
bloody work, vat enough for the lonsrestand
most exhausting campaign on land and sea a
sure defense in lojal hands nealnst whatever
enemies of the nation too vast and dangerou
bv tar to be trusted within the reach of any but
its faithful and loj al ti tends."
No man in his senses can believe that the
South, suffering, impoverished, crying out for
labor, lor credit, lor help, and utterly broken
down by her overwhelming defeat, cherishes in
her wildest dreams the thought of renewing
ti e struggle. It would be lolly if she did a
lolly which timo would remove. But she does
not. She has declared that she does not by
every form of asseveration which self-governing
States are capable ot. Men mav he, but
States do not. Governor Andrew' affeclatlou
of fear K as we regret to believe, insincere. He
is at the head of a company whose business is
to buy property In the South and loan money
to Southern men. He thus bhowa that he
knows it to be tah-e that Northern men are ill
treated at the South. Equally he proves his
pretended tears hollow and insincere. Men
make haste to inveBt their monev where they
know it will be safe. Governor Andrew cannot
be believed when he asp ens that the Southern
States cannot "be trusted" to-day as completely
as any Northern State. He tears no civil w ar
at the South.
Thcie is but one explanation of this signifi
cant utterance It Is, that Governor Andrew is
In the confidence ot tho Governors who met at
Philadelphia tho other day, and who are orga
nizing a conspiracy against thejFederal Govern
ment and its lawlul bead a conspiracy to im
peach and remove President Johoson nnd who,
to return theniselves and their revolutionary
party in power, would not only keep the Union
still divided would not only deny to the South
ern States Belt-poveri.ment by representation
would not only make use ot Federal power to
torce negro suffrage upon the Southern States,
but also would not hesitate to suooly the militia
they control with arms, and plunge tho North
itself into a new and more dreadful civil war a
war not of sections nor of States, but ot neigh
borhoods and firesides.
Months ago we warned the country of the
derpernte purposes of these desperate men.
We repeat that warning to-day; and every
vote cast for a radical Governor or a radical
Congressman is a vote lor just such a c'.vil war.

al!e to preserve the contents, which fully endorses tbe
high reputation of these Sufes aB being the most roliable
fine proof protection made.
The follow ing Important lac's are moat thoroughly de
monstrated In the above certificates :
first. That Llltio'i afe stands the teeund Are as well
as the first, and both Safe and contents still fit for use,
, while other Safes are wurlhieit alter the first Ore, and, if
tli fire la severe, hooks and papers have to be oopled, u
presetved at all, and very irequt nt.y lost.
Second. That Lillie's Bates are honestly drill-prool
perfectly wedqe-provt.poitder-proof, snd. In every soul
of ihe word, burglar-j roof, and, aa a further evidence, I
assert that there never baa been, to this time, one of Lll
lie's Bank Bales robbed (that la, Bate two inches thick).
A word to the publlo and to my old friends and pa
