1 THE HEW YORK TRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF TIIK LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. OOWP1LBD BVKBT DAY JB J.VEMKO TELLQnAPH. The Amoeity Power How and by Whom Hhoulct It lie KxercUutl.l From the Timet. ' The World takes exceptions to our view tbut the President should now "consider lils a:tual work concerning restoration ended," and should leavo the whole question of amnesty to he dealt with by Congress. ' To that body," wo said the other day, "of right bclonfrs all further autho rity In the premises." Our contemporary ob jects to this as unsound doctrine, and proceeds to arguo not only that the President may grant individual pardons or proclaim an amnesty, as he shall see fit, but that Congress has no claim to be consulted and no right to act In the mattre. We are not, as the World appears to think, unmindful of the constitutional 'provision vest ing the pardoning power exclusively in the Executive; though it may be doubted whether the terms employed cover all the conditions in which it has been exercised sincp the suppres sion of thft Rebellion, or justify the pretensions upon which a proclamation of general amnesty is now being urged upon the lTcsldent. tie shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except In cases of impeachment. " are the words employed by the authors of the Constitution. Xlumilron s argument In the Federalist is cited to prove that considerations hich withheld from Congress all share in tue power ot pardon had reference to circumstances identical with those In which tbo President's action is at present invoiced. HUt the lautruae ot Hamilton uppears to slig ht the opposite construction: lhe expediency of vesting the power ot pardon ing in the President has, U I mistake not," ho says in Mo. 74, "been only oontoated in relation to the enrao of treason. But tne principal argumont lor reposing the power ot pinioning in this case in the Cruel Alanistrato, is this: Iu seasons ol insurrec tion or rebe lion, thcro aro onen critical momonts, when a well-timed oiler ot pardon to tho insurgents or rebels may restore the tranquillity of the Com monwealth, and winch, if sufKrott to pass unim proved, it niav never be poBslblealterwards to recall. The dilatory process of convening tho Lotrislaturo, or one ot Its branolies, ior the purpose of obtaining its sanotion, would frequently b the occasion of letting slip the golden opportunity." a This reasoning udmita of but ote interpreta tion. The application of the pardoning power to cases of treason was desigued to provide for a contingency which no longer exists. It was intended as authority to employ a.n amnesty as a means of restoriug the authority of tho Federal (ioverntucut in cases of insurrection or rebel liou. It was designed for use iu "critical mo ments," when other means of restoring tran quillity arc in jeopardy, and when "the dilatory process of convening tho Legislature" prevents consultation witn ttiat branch of the Govern ment. An offer of amnesty wouVl therefore have been in order at any tlino during tho con tinuance of the Rebellion. Mr. Lincoln's pro clamation of limited amnesty on the 8ih Decem ber, 1803, and again on the 2Ui ot March, 18U4, was strictly in conformity with the purposes for which authority to pardon was intrusted to him. The objects aimed at were declared by himself to have been "to suppress the in surrection and to restore the authority ot the United States," and "these itloue.r It was com petent for him to have renewed and enlarged tne offer at the Hampton Roads conference, or at any period when these objects remained un futailed. Or It might have been competent tor his suocesor to proclaim an amucsty during the brief but critical time which immediately followed the cessation of hostilities, when the restoration of Federal authority might be sup posed to require every available auxiliary. We submit, however, that when the suppression of the Rebellion was consummated, and the authority of the United States re-established beyoDd cavil, the only justification of the exer cise, of the amnesty power by the President lapsed. The "critical moments" contemplated by Hamilton no longer continued; "the dilatory process" of consulting Congress ceased to be an available plea for Executive action on an ex tended scale, and without regard to the will of the people's representatives. The peculiar circumstances iu which President Johnson entered upon the duties of his ollioe, and tho anxiety of the country, as far as possi ble, to facilitate the return of friendly feelings throughout the South, exempted the qualified proclamation of May 29, 18(55, from the criticism which it might otherwise have provoked. Tbere was a universal dispo-ition to accord to him support, and to facilitate whatever measures he might deem essential to his restoration policy. Besides, the proclamation was a mere reitera tion of Mr. Lincoln's peace overture?, intended to reach many who had not availed themselves of those opportunity of pardon, and at the same time excluding from the privilege of pardon fourteen specifically described classes of South ern citizens. Some there are, we know, who share Mr. Botts' opinions as to the invalidity of the pardons granted In pursuance of the special power reserved by Mr. Johnson under this pro clamation. These persons contend ami not without a semblance ot common sense that tho pardoning power in Its relation to indivi duals properly applies only after trial and con viction. "Webster's Dictionary" hardly sustains this rendering of the term. At any rate, the magnanimity displayed by the American people since the surrender of Lee may ue accepted as au assurance of their indisposition to deal harshly with Individuals, or to scan too closely the cases in which the President has granted immunity to Rebels. But there is a limit to the coudition of things in which the right of the President to proclaim an amnesty is conceded, or in which individual pardons on account of the Rebellion prior to triul and conviction miglitbe properly granted. And this limit may fairly bo held to have been reached when Congress met last December. The right ot the Executive to go further in the work of restoration is at least open to doubt; the right to proclaim an amnesty as a condition of resto ration terminated equally at the same time. Congress then took cognizance of the entire subject of restoration its time, its manner, its conditions; tne president receuiue " mc posi tion of an administrator of laws which Oratress might enact, or resolutions which it might con stitutionally pass. As matters now stand, the amnesty power belontre.practically and substantially, to Con gress.' That body may or may not extend to the ouththe benefits of an act of oblivion; thouirh a eeneral amnestv. including all Rebels, leaders, and followers, is neither expedient nor probable. The number of excluded classes may be reduced, as c mpared with the number re cited in the proclamation of May, 1865; but the loyal sentiment of the nation will. In our opinion, demand the imposition of disabilities, at least to the extent of exclusion from Federal ollice, upon the conspicuous promoters and ugents of the Rebellion. We assume, more over, that there will be no act of amnesty, bioad or narrow, except as conditional upon the previous compliance by the South with cer tain terms. Thus considered, it will be a con sequence of restoration rather than a prelude to It. , Ritualism and the Church of England. fron th Tribune. The question of Parliamentary reform is not the only subject that Is at present disquieting the English people, and " frighting" the con servative "isle from its propriety." Another disturbing element has suddenly made its ap pearance, In what the British press designates the Ritualistic controversy, which is agitating the religious world of England to an extraor dinary degree. Bishop Colonso la allowed to enjoy respite for the time being, and amidst the fierce conflict which has risen anent eccle- THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH.

The Anglo-Episcopal Church, it Is well known, Is au ancient State establish ment. Its bishops are "lords spiritual, " shar ing In the outward, conventional dignity of peers of the realm. It has a splendid tiler arch v. It possesses immense revenues, and its dlemtaries enjoy splendid incomes. It is a great and wealthy national institution, existing and supported ostensibly for spiritual purposes lor the Instruction and training ot thercople In religious doctrine and practice aud its means and opportunities of doing good in its peculiar mission and rpliere are un bounded. But these things, which prima facte stein to be all in its lavor, are in reality mimi cal to its usefulness.

Numhers of them are Just now en caged In fiercely discussing the question of ecclesiastical vestments of "clerical milli nery," as it has been happily termed in set tling ihe number of genuflections the officiating priest ought to make in certain pven circuiu stances.and in debating whether religious service sbou d bo conducted in broad day with lighted wax-tapers or not. With some ot them the old snow-white urpli'-e and the respectable black silk gown are at a discount; they must have green waistcoats, and must be toged in muslin cowu with a cross embroidered on thejback. 'Ihese contend lor particular kinds of priestly veMmcuts as in a high deerce symbolic, and would almost class among tne moral sins any depari tire trom the customs of the Church of the middle aires in regard to the costume of the clergyman. Ritualism is, in fact, all the ratre now with the High Church par. y in hnglaud. The "weightier matters of the law" divine are lost sight ot; and iustead of these, attention is exciui-icly devoted to the tithing ot "mint, anise, aud cumin' The Ritualists ate not, however, to be allowed to have everything their own way. Their con duct has aroused tierce opposition in certain quarters. The Non-Conformist ministers see oanger to Protestantism In these efforts of the Fpiscopal clergy to assimilate the worship of the English establishment to that of the Roman Ca:hoiic Church. Spurgeon, the eminent Baptist divine, has sounded the tocsin, in a scrinou he recently preached iu Loudon, and with that outspoken boldness lor which he is distinguished, has declared that the English bishops are a useless body of men, who have never doue any good service to the Church. And among the great body of the people there seems to be a determination to give no quarter to the Ritualibts. Disturbances have already occurred iu several places, and we have before us an account in a London paper of some very riotous proceedings lu a chureh uttiatcd in a village adjacent to that city. So serious, says the report, are matters becoming in the village, that beveral additional constables have been sent to reside in it. Tho clergyman has been assaulted while conducting public worship, tne school-bouse lias been set ure to, and an attempt has been made to shoot the schoolmaster, who, it seems, is a zealous partisan ot the obnoxious clertryman. The controversy is, in fact, waxing furious; and in view of the spirit manifested by the combatants on both sides, we are not sur- firiscd to find one of the dignitaries of the Estab Ibhment, the Archdeacon of Surry, declaring. in a recent charge to the clergy, that the Caurcn is "reeling to its centre," and that "the hour of its trial is at hand." Ibe question of the future of the Amrlo Episcopul establishment has more than a mere local interest for those immediately concerned in its maintenance or its oveithrow, for it touches the connate (question of the useful ness of Church establishments in general. Taking a dispassionate and impartial view of the history of this sreat national institution, it cannot be denied that as an evangelizing aeeucy it has been a woful failure. The child of compromise, as Macauley, in bis "History of England" shows, it has all the characteristic feebleness of such an origin about it. For pur poses of aggression upon the regions of vice and crime, its power is painfully small. lis chief virtue lies in its quiet conservatism; but this, which some pronounce its strength, will ullimetely be found its fatal weakness. It is evident that cither it has no proper conception ot its mission, or no heart for its work. Iu England, Lord Shaftesbury avers, there are at present 1,200,000 woraeu engaged iu un womanly work, who are, for the most part, in a savage condition. In the ten chief cities of England, it is computed there are about 300,000 prostitutes. There are, as statistics show, 1,250,000 paupers; and the vice of drunkenness, we are told, is rapidly iu- cieusinsr among the lower classes; while there are countless numbers of men. women, and chil .iron In a Ktntn nt wnfm icmorance of their dutv both to God aud man. And in tho face ot ail this, what are the clergy doing? Why, debating about the color and the cut of priestly vest ments, about the virtues ot wax tapers in reii gious services, and the use of silver spoons to tieh flies out of the sacramental wine 1 The Church of Emrlaud. as a State establishment. seems doomed. A process of disintegration ha already set in, and it is evident the structure cannot stand much longer. Let parliamentary relorm be carried, and religious freedom in the fullest sense must soon lollow. The ballot box will do for England what the Declaration of In dependence did tor the United States free the country from ecclesiastical trammels, and open a new held for religious enterprise and. activity. The beueticlal results of such a reformation will not be a doubtful question. Prefcldent Johnson's Plan The Plan of CouKress, aud the Plun DemanUed by the trials. From the Herald. President Johnson's plan of Southern restora tion, failing in the South, discarded by Con gress, aud coudemued iu the North, is dead and done for. In the outset, with its three condi tions precedeut, viz., the recognition of the supreme national sovereignty of the United States, the ratidcatlon of the Constitutional amendo.ent abolishing slavery, aud the repu diation ot the debts and obligations of the Re bellion, it seemed to be a fair and promising progran.me. It started off handsomely, In the absence of Congress, aud under tho stimulus of Executive purdons, but the State reorganiza tions thus effected were slip-shod and loo loosely put together to pas3 an examination under any test of the Constitution or the law of nations. The civil ruhts of the liberated blacks ana the important question of negro suffrage and negro representation were meantime left untouched; for the leading idea ot Mr. Johnson was to restore the disabled 8tates, as far as possible, with their old State rights Intact, as Deiore tue war. This was a grave mistake, and it was followed too lar, as events have shown; but it could have been easily repaired had the President ad he! ed to his original declarations, that his pro visional work was subject to the approval or rejection of Congress. This was the rocir upon which he foundered assuming an equal juris diction with Congress, ana the popular verdict of the late Northern elections, in rejecting his policy and his delense of the course he has pur sued In his conflict with Congress, amounts to a' decree from the sovereign people taking this business from hl9 hands and restoring it abso lutely into the hands of Congress. Hence the nrpsent views. Inclinations, and purnoses of the President in this matter are important only 60 far as they are likely to operate in facilitating or retarding a settlement by Congress. Th nlnn of Oonaress. endorsed by all the Northern States, Is that embodied tn the ped- ine Constitutional amenanieuu iv appears to be. kowfMrer. in the taoe of these recent elec Hons, an hitterlv reouenant to the South as to be hopeless of any voluntary ratification in that Quarter dnHnir the existins feneration of lean ing Southern politician. The especially oh noxious fcafnre of the amendment to those politicians Is the section which excludes from all Federal offices hereafter, till absolved by a two-thirds vote of Consrress, a certain class of Ihe Southern leadcis identified with the late Rebellion. Leaders and lollowcrs plead that the dishonor of their on condemnation In volved in this cond ition they must at all Hazards reject with scorn and dlgusl. This is a serious ditliculty. How Is it to bo removed ? . The duty of solving the problem will devolve upon Coupes. The alternative presented is the excluHlon of the unrecotruized States to the end of the present generation, or some modifi cations of the amendment, in order to brim' them In without lurther loss of time. A general amnesty will at once remove tho main dillicuUv indicated, and universal suffrage will settle all the embarrassments arising from tlie negro question. But the prejudices of ca-te and color, cultivated In the South for two hundred years, are so infused into the blood and bones of the Southern white race that they revolt at this idea ol negro political equality, aud will never . uunr iii io u. y nat tDeu r is the Union to re main disorganized and discordant? la tbc8outh toto'ntJulRod indefinitely in a quasi state of rebellion, with its vast resources of wealth, trade, and prosperity lving waste, and with its People driftinor to sedition, riots, and anarchy, necause Southern prejudices block the way? ro! There must be a remedy for this evil, and tor the good of tho whole country it must be applied. b President Johnson has said that if there are but five, thousand good and loyal men in one ot these disabled States, they are enough for its reconstruction. Comrrcss, tnen, in a law pro viding for certain organic Siate elections, and defining, as the President has done, who shall be voters, with the power and authority given to General Grant to enforce the law in these elections, may very readily overcome this afore said obstruction of ctste and color. Some such legislation, beginning at the bottom, is evidently demanded for Southern reconstruction. Tho interests of the South, the North, the Treasury, and ot the whole Union, demand this legisla tion. Beginning the work ol reconstruct. on, then, de novo, Congress, in an cnabliug act. has only to weed out tho impracticable sei esh and fire-eating elements of the States concerned, aud to put General Grant on guard, in order to make the work of Southern restoration as simple i.s the rule of sub'mction. The first essontiul is to accept the self-evident facts that the President's work of teconst ruction is an embarrassment, that Coneress must begin at the beginumo trom Virginia to Texas, inasmuch as the Kebelllon, from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, thougti disarmed, ttill remains to be subdued. Negro Suffrage In the South. From the World. The Republican party Is deficient iu the breadth of view aud forecast which appreciate the force of natural tendencies, and which re frain from attempting by legislation what is suie to come about by the operation of natual causes Thnt party fails to perceive that great social ' changes are fruitful; that when transiiional events of the first magnitude have taken place, a train of other events necessarily follows to bring existing social conditions Into harmony with the new circumstances. It is the part of political wisdom to descry those consequences; to jude which of them will follow oi tiiem selvcs, aud which require the intervention ol fiovernmtut; to forbear beating drums and clatteiiner kettles und pans to bring the sun out of an eclipse, when the celestial motlous will seiencly deliver it w.thout such obstreperous aid. We incline to think that if the negro-suffrage question could be fairly opened, ami placed in its true light, the political Interest In it would rapidly evaporate. The zeal of Its advocates and the stillness ot its opponents would probaoly give way to the calmer interest which, in en lightened minds, it will long continue to have as a moral, social, aud ethnological question. At any rate, if we could foresee what would he the natural train of unforced consequences, both panie might judge how lar inlerierence must prove needless on the one band, ami re sistance unava'ling on the other. Let us suppose that the Southern Senators aud Representatives were ireely admitted with out conditions, and that the North should for bear to piess the negro question nu.y farther. The Southern people would teel that a creat obstacle had been removed to their menaicg their broken fortunes. All the best energies of the best class of Southern minds would be bent in that direction. Capital, the great want of all new countries, the great want oi all bankrupt countries and the South is both undeveloped and ban kiupt would readily flow in uuder the prospect ot an ai sured tranquillity, aud in reli ance on tho security that could be given by Southern landholders after the complete resto ration of titles by a general amnesty. The ollice ot capital is to set labor in motion. The returns of capital can come in no other way than through the employment of labor. It is ouly by riturniug the pioduc.fs ol labor, or what the products of labor sell for, into the band ot investors, that thev can ever get back their capital aud a profit on it. Now. it is obvious that a brisk demand for l:bor, and anxiety und competition on the part ot employers to secure as much as they need iu their enterprises, would be tbe beat conceivable condition of things for the freedmen, who, totally destitute at the outset, must tind the be ginnings of competence in what they can save out of their eurnings. It is a circumstance favorable to their future prospects, that white emigration will go slowly into the Southern Male. There are large districts where the climate, tlioucrli congenial to the negro, is un favorable to tho white race. Tho tide of Euro pean immigration, both Ormau aud Irish, will, lor various reasons, continue to set toivardi other States. The cheap, fertile lands of the West lie in a climate not very different from that ot the coun tries w hence the immigiauts came. Most of them have relatives or oiher trieuits who have pre ceded them in thcr exodus irora the old coun tries; and, on a strange continent, newcomers will naturally value neighbors of their owu race and kindred. For a whole generation lo come, the South, if it can command capital to develop its resouices, will experience a dearth ot labor. Even beiore the war. labor was its great want. In the course of the last fifteen years ot South ern prospetity, slaves doubled or trebled in value The gi eat source of hope to tbe freedmep, if tbe radicals will permit ssouinem prosperity to revive, will consist in the lacttuat theirservices are indispensable. Alter one or two good bar vests, they will have the means of emiarratiug toauypait ot the country. Willi this ability, Ihey will not stay where they do not receive fair treatment. lif tbeyare unjustlv dealt by in the South, they will emigrate to tlie hospita ble West. If one Southern Siate holds out ad vantages denied to them in others, they will throug to that Statu. If the Southern States do not. on the uniform syftcm, bestow on them justice and kmduehs, the freedmen will either flee from the South, as the Iiish have forsaken Ireland, or a few enlightened Southern State9 will keep them back by bidding against the West tor the monopoly ot their labor. Southern laud Is n& worthless as the eatds of Sahara with out labor to cultivate It; and the instinct of self preservation will compel even the most illiberal Southern State to grant the same advantages which a day's ride in the cars will enable the negroes to enjoy elsewhere. , A people so situated cannot be oppresses.
