THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 18G6. THE NEW YOItK TRESS. EDITORIAL OPIPIOKS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS WOTS CURRENT TOPICS. COMPILED RVKBT PAT FOR RVFMKO TELKQIiArH John II. Surratt, ' m Ha Trilune. Nearly eighteen month havo passed since the !?nih of the principal couptrator In the 4i si;siuaUon of Abraham Lincoln, and utiJl the lot nniams a mystery. A bright theatre nviu leaping on the scene-a wounded man at Jjay iu a Virginia baru, defying his pursuer, aii.1 fhut by the blunder of a soldier a sick iiui ' bed, aud the assassin with his knife at Lis ti Toat the secret consultations of mur dcreio, coming aud going under various names .and diguises thcFe are the figures in that ter rible picture, in which, like those of Rembrandt, vast shadows enshroud a fierce and lurid light. The galloiv, with four corpses, and one of them a woman -the Dry Tortugas, where four con victs expiate In wretched solitude their crimes a quiet erave far away in IllinoU lhe9e are its companion pictures, aud jet there is one more len.o.e. It is that of a muu flying from the Jaud w here he was bom; (lying from tue avenger ix-aih, nom the body ot his victim, from the eorpne i his mother on the si-all'old, seeking in vain to l) v himself iu the great world, and to blot his name from the memory of man. This is John Harrison Surratt, of whose equal guilt iu the crime there is no doubt, and by whom, it is believed, much that is hidden may be levealcd. The evidence tnkf n before the military com imlss.on in June, 1805, proved John H. Surratt to be one of the principal conspirators. It was at the liou-e of his mother that the mcutiugs werp held; up to the week of the assassination lie had been journcytr.g between Richmond and 31 out real ; Booth was his constant compnniou; Mud1 concealed him iu the woods near bis house; Payne consulted with him; Atzerodt confessed that Surratt induced him to join the conspiracy; one Nott, a Rebel, when he heard Ot the murder, it was sworn, exclaimed: "My Uod John Surratt knew all about this, and do you f uppose he is going to slay iu Washington, ud let them catch him'? liis name was the Jirt in the. indictment. Had there been any doubt cf Lis guilt, his flight would havo re moved it, tor though none of the principals were more frequently seen ;) to the 3a of April, on the afternoon of the lt'.b. he was Been tor the last time, booted and spurred, leady tor his escape. From that time the very existence of John Surratt was a mystery; it was believed he was dead; that he bad re vealed ttio names of his fellow-conspirators to Ihe Government, and had been allowed to escape; that he was secretly imprisoned. It was noted that no rewaid was offered for his finest. Yet, as time passed on, John Surratt was torg tten, till the other day came the Ctartlmg news that he had been arrested by the American Consul-General iu Egypt. - De yuuicey, in illustration ot the vast empire ind power ot the Romans, imagines a fugitive Siow the veneeance of the Emperor vainly seek 5ng to escape his ernip. North, South, East, or 'West, wta-rever the wretched man may ny, he lreails wtth'n the circle of Rome, aud her hand is Raised above him; ttuuehbe fly to the uttermost parts of the earth, Ctvsar will be before him. In this age, jsstice is as hard to escape. The great criminal hides in vain in lorcign lands, changes his name or disguises his person. Sur Tatt's per son was not very easy to disguise. A tall man, with a prominent forehead and very large uo e, with deeply sunken eyes and long biack tmir. Thus he wai described at the trial. Of his wanderings, little is known. It is said that be was recognised on a Liverpool steamer shortly after the murder. Then came tbe rumor that he was serving as a private soldier in the Pope's Guards at Rome. We know now that he had been, a sold it r in the Papal Zouaves at Veroli, and served under the name of John Watson. The tact became known to Mr. Rulus King, our Minister at Rome, who telegraphed to o'ir Government, and was instructed to fiecti; his arrest. Mr. King conferred with Oni viiual Antonelli, whe issued an order for his eei.'e. . Surratt was taken; he was imprisoned; ftiri on removal from jail, guarded by live so i' ners, broke from tneir nanas, j urn pea, n is catd, over a precipice more than one hundred foe' nteh, and escaped into the Italian territory. Mr. Marsh, our Minister at Florence, obtained telcorraphic instructions from the ltaliau Gov cri, ueut to have all the seaports of Italy r i-hed to prevent his escape. lie was soon supposed to have embarkei in a fcler.mer for Malta, aud a de-patch to that Island Arrived too late to detain him; another was Bent to Alexandria, and when Surratt stepped upon the shotes of Egypt, he was seizefby the Strong, far-reaching arm of America. United States detectives, it is said, have watched him eince October. Rut long before this he must have been overtaken by a speedier, surer foe. Fear was ever at his back; Irom remorse he could hardly escape, lor even tf he could forget the crime he had committed, how could he ever cease to see the phantom of his mother on thepaliows? Coward all the world believed him, since that day when he fled and left her to Buffer; a coward, it was said, she held him, aud in ber last moments refused to hear his na ne. There is true dramatic interest in this imoer Ject history. The escape and pursuit of no Other criminal in this ctntury has so much to excite the imagination. No man, it is possiole, not even Bootn, worked harder to accomplish the murder; and a deeper interest Is given to his share In the conspiracy by his frequent jour seya to Richmond. Upon Surratt's presumed conneotiouwvth the Rebel Government, Andre Johnson charged Jetierson Davis who com plicity in the assassination. Ne revelations are expected from his trial; the public may be disappointed in that, yet if John 11. Surratt could be induced to confess, before the death which is almost certain to be his late, there is no reasonable doubt but that he nimht tell the whole story of Lincoln's assassination from the begiunlng to the end. The Vloleuco of Congress. from the World. . The proceedings ot Congress, during the four laB it bas been In sesion, evince all the rancor olfaction, but none of the grave wisdom which eSU the supreme council of the natlou. It is Conscious weakness, not couscious strength, Ibat breaks out in such intemperate ebullitions What can the Republicans expect to gain by the iLdecent haste of their demonstrations against the President ? Why should the very first day of the session have been selected for Starting a bill for tho assembling of the Fortieth Congress on the 5th of March? If such a bill should be pas.-ed the last week in February it would bo equally efficient; and the broaching it tot this early day is such an exhibition of un dignified afld Incontinent spite as must lower that body in the estimation of considerate men. Its hot Impatience to repeal the amnesty clause of the confiscation act U equally needless, ex cept as a display ot ungovernable petulanee. There was no likelihood that the President lnteuced any further pardons at present. He has for some time steadiij' refused to Kraut any and it' be bad attached any importune to the bection about to be repealed, he could easily Jbave forestalled and frustrated this movement by an amnesty before tbo meeting of Congress. It was contrary to all probability that he in tended to issue any pardons during tho first month of the session. Cougress has therefore acted more in tbe spirit of a weak, scoldiug woman, whose wrath torments her till sho has fiven it vent, than like a body of self poised eglslators. Their attempt to curb the appoint ing power of the President is open to the same jrtticMrv The President tins made ail the removals he thoucht export cut; and dining the ensuing lour months every appointment must bj sub uil'tcd to the H nute mr confirmation be'bre it cimtake effect. Kven if a restraint upon the nppo.uting power were necc68ary( U requires no immediate baste; and if the bill passes lor convening the Fortieth Congress on tho 6th of March, the Senate will be in oerpetual sesiou, and kuprrsede the ncce-lty oi any othr check. Blind, lieadl jng impulse, aud precipitate wrath, not cool reflection and sober Judgment, control the proceedings ol Conwcs.. We should not have w itnessed these spler.etlc exhibitions tf the Republicans were not secretly conscious of their impotence. They know well enough that Conre-s Is merely a leirisl ilive, not nn executive body. The laws it passes will not execute ihemselve, and no laws can be en forced iu tho South except by officers already contiimcd by tne Senate. The recent removals have all been in the North, and neither the Senate nor Congress can turn out any officer who has been confirmed. The North will get on well enough whether Mr. Johnson's recent and unconfirmed appointees are displaced or re tained: and Federal officers in the South are not likely to enforce clearly unconstitutional laws. Concrete could, indeed, rcmovo such officers by impeachment; but as every person impeached is entitled to a trial, with ample opportunities of delense, the Southern officers could not be all deposed in this way before the new-born babes ol the present year grew to be men. Even if ttie radicals should adopt the mort extreme measure which has yet been broached that of declaring the States to be Territories and prescribing Territorial Governments for them it would' practically amount to nothing. The constitutionality ot such a law would be at orce contested in the Supreme Coutt, which is already committed on that subject, and would be boiind by its own lecont precedents. If Con press declares the States to be Territories, or if it assumes that tho ratifications of les3 than three-lourths of the whole number will suffice lor Constitutional amendments, the only conse quence will be that the Supreme Court will de clare such legislation void, and the whole sub ject will revert Into its present shape. The President is calm, confident, and assured, because he has measured the power of his oppo nents, and knows that they have exhausted all their resources of hostility, except such as tho Supreme Court will adiudge unconstitutional. Congress vapors and blusters because it sees that it has no effectual power, and that, unless it can torrify the South by bravado, it has gone to the length of its tether. Tlie First Steps of Congress Towards Southtru Ki'Htorullou. From the IleraUI. In the House of Representatives on Tuesday last there were two independent propositions adopted, looking to the reconstruction and res toration of the excluded Southern States. We may say they were of the highest importance, as indicating a two-third vote in favor ot a com prehensive reconstruction, embracing the reor ganization of the States concerned from the disorganized condition in which they 6tood when first di.-armed as members of a hostile confederacy. The first of these propositions was in the shape ot a resolution Irom Mr. Wentworth, of Illinois, to this etlect that in respon-e to the President's Message on the status of the lately insurgent Slates, still excluded from Congress, "the House finds in their many acts of disloyalty luoe itM inat adjournment, as well as In the recent elections in the iOJai states, additional reasons lor insisting on the adopUon ol the pending Constitutional amendment belore it will consider the propriety of giving such States Corgi essional lepresentation." Mr. An coua (Democrat), of Pennsylvania, moved to lay this resolution on the table, and the yeas and nays being ordered, the call resulted yeas thirty-two, nays one hundred and nineteen, wbeieupon the resolution was adopted without a division. It will thus be seen that nearly four-filths of the House are in favor of adhering to the amend in end as a basis of Southern resto ration. We may conclude, therefore, that as the next Congiess, lately elected, is substan tially the present Congress over again, this resolution is fixed to the 4lb of March, 186!), and covers the question whether the excluded States shall or shall not be admitted into the Presiden tial election of 1868. This is a matter worth considering by the un recognized Stares; for it is morally certain that, unless their balance of power is brought into the scales, the approaching Presidential election win result in anotner lease ot power to tne dominaut party, executive as well as legisla tive. Rut the second nrooosition to which we have reieired aims at the cutting out of these boutneru embarrassments by the root, it was put 'nine torm ot a resolution irom Air. liroomaii i t Pennsylvania, instructing the Committee on Tetritories "lo inquire into the expediency of reporting a oin provioine Territorial Govern ments for the several districts of country within ihe jurisdiction of the United States lormerly occupied by the once existing Slates of Virginia, Noith Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alaoaraa, Mifsissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, and giving to all adult maleinhabitants therein, born within the limits ot the United States, or duly naturalized, and not participants in the late Rebellion, full equal rights in such Terri torial Governments." This sweeping proposition was adopted yeas one hundred and seven, nays thirty -seven a vote of nearly three-fourths oi the House. To be sare, this is a mere inquiry ordered, but the vote indicates the opinion and, probably, the fixed purposp ot both Houses. The bill, we ex pect, will in due season be reportel, and from mis preliminary vote we inter, that, if put to the test, it can be passed over the Piesident's veto, when it will be a law of the land. We believe, however, that it iu the meantime tho excluded State6, even as now orgauized, adopt tbe pend ing Constitutional amendment, and sliupe their local Governments and Congressional elections so as to meet its coalitions, tbey will be id mitted into Congress aiter the example of len l.estec. It is because of the intractable and debant spirit muni letted by the ruling politicians of the States concerned, that Mr. Brooraall pro poses the extreme remedv ot reducing them not only to the tondi iou of Territories, but to tbe control of their blick population. Think of that aScutb Carolina Territorial Legislature of blacks making laws tor Wade Hamilton. It is between this extreme and awful remedy and tbe Constitutional amendment that the un reconciled States have to choose a choice of a salivating treatment of calomel and jalap, or a Uttl of the sweet spirits of nitre with so'ne tincture of rhubarb. Nar can we promise that any very long maipla of time will bo allowed for a decision upou the subject. We seriously entertain the opinion, nevertheless, that if South Carolina, tor example, within a month or two shall adoot the amendment and Irame her local institutions and ber elections accordingly, tdie will be restored as a State without being su bjected to this threatened territorial ordeal. The warnings which wehaveso repeatedly given the States and people concerned are now reduced to "a fixed tact." Nothing better will be offered them than the Constitutional amendment, and if it is not very soon accepted something m uch worse will assuredly iollow. Reorgnulzatiou at the South. From the Tim$. Tbe unsatisfactory condition of affairs at thd South is established by the reports of the mili tary commanders stationed there. To many of the statements emanating from that section, respecting outrages upon freedmen, and other evidence of aversion to Federal control, we have paid little attention, believing that they were colored, if not in vente l, lor partisan purposes. But to tbe representations made by our military authorities in the Southern States uo suspicion can posblbly attach. Whatever be their opi nions on oontroveite i political questions, at any rate they are responsible and impartial. They enjoy the well-earned cmbdeuoe ol the loyal people of the lnd, and their averments will undoubtedly be accepted as conslustve on ques tions of (act. On the important fact touching the treat ment of the Irrednicn, the testimony ot the Generals is positive and unfavorable. An idea has obtained that South Caroline his dono itself honor by tho fullness of Its provisions tor jus tice to the colored pedple. General Sickles, however, reports that in some districts of the State the ireednian Is dependent upou the pre sence and protection ot national U-oops (or ' security for life, lunb, or property." A pre vailing iudipposition to prosecute, aud a failure to puuit-li oilonders, when negroes are the suf trrers, is Imputed to the local authorities; and au cxtraoroiuarv 8tate enactment is cited, under which militia vfbecru may "disperse, suppress, kill, and destroy any company 6f freedmen or otheiswho shall be found lurking in any sus pected place where they may do mischief." From Kentucky General Davis reports an in-crea-c ol lawlessness since the triumph of Rcoel candidates at the election. General Wood, writing irom MissIpbIt pi, shows thnt laws re main in (orce piohl'utmg freednie?i from pur chasing real estnte, aud that only lreed nien who have obtained special licence are pet mitted to bear arms. The interior local autho rities, too, arc slow to proceed against Rebel ofieudcrs, who usually escape 'unpunished. General Sheridan, referring to affairs in Texas, speaks yet more positively. There, the GenorJ remarks, "the trial of a white man for tho murder of a tieedman would be a farce." And while a great outcry is Taised when a single white bettler is kilk-d by Indians, "over the killing of many frcedcueu in the settlements nothing is done." Again, Arkansas has been singled1 out as by comparison a reconstructed Stute. It sent loyal men to Washington last winter, and has seemed to be laraely impreenated with North cm influences. Encouraged, probably, by the position assumed by the President, and the greater degree ol boldness which distinguishes the tone of Southern politicians on national allairs, the Rebel clement In Arkansas has asserted its right to rule. Governor Murphy is not an extreme man, as tbe manner in which he presented the Constitutional amendment to the local Legislature for ratidcation proved. Apart Irom bim, the State Government is once more in Rebel hands. The three members of Congress elect were chosen because of the support they pave to the Rebellion; the State ollicers, with the exception of tho Executive chair, have been assigned to conspicuous Rebels; a lare majo rity of the Legislature belong to the same cluss; and all the counties save three have given their minor local offices to men who have waged war ugainrt the Government. The Union men of the State propose ta meet in convention to petition Cotgrcss tor a grant of the same powers whicu were entrusted to them three cars ago, w hen the work ot reconotructlon on Its present basis was undertaken. The men who co-operated with Mr. Lincoln then a-k now for power to begin anew, with the light of re cent experience to guide ihem. The mere issue of the call tor a gathering to petition has aroused the ire of the Rebels in tbe State Legis lature, who have talKed of legislation to aid tbe Governor in suppressing the "movement. Forci ble suppression, after the style in vogue at New Orleans, is buret I y likely to be attempted. Aud the Unionists, we presume, will make them selves heard at Washington. North Carolina seems no nearer bona fide re construction than other parts ot tbe South. The election of an ultra secessionist, Judge Manly, to the United States Senate, illustrates tbe pre dominant temper of the Legislature. Ex-Governor Hidden one of President Johnson's ap pointees dccluies, in ihe Raleigh standard, of which he is the editor, that the Provisional Gov ernment experiment has been a failure; that "the President was deceived, and bis Provisional fiovwnora weio oecoived;'' that "all hope that existing Southern orpaiiiKatioii will concur in measures necessary 10 restoro the Southern States to the Union is nt an end;" and that "there is nothing left but to reorganize the Southern States." For this conclusion the repre sented Slates may not be fully prepared. But the expression ot such an opinion in sued a quarter is a sign ot the times not to be over looked, while the tacts we havo collated may help to lamiharize us with the outlines ot the Southern position. That anything short cf the surrender of the Union pwrty and principle will satisfy the pie tent leadeis of Southern opinion, we do not believe. Even President Johnson does not satisfy them; for, though oppoeed to the Consti tutional amendment, the language of bis Mes sage commits him to the support of the test oath. Dut the South will have neither. It refuses to latily tbe amendment, and it demands the admission to Congress of whomsoever it may choose to send, Rebel or no Rebel. "We utterly reject his test oath," is the answer of the Rich mond Examiner a journal which, under its present management, is one of the most efficient exponents of Southern opinion. "We think the South would rather btay out of Conciessi indefi nitely" than be represented by persons who would swallow tbe oath, is tbe statement with w hlch the M arniner disposes of Mr. Johnson's safeguard. It is evident, therefore, that the amendment i not the obstacle to restoration. The real obstacle Is the avetsion of the Southern politicians to everything calculated to insure the peace and Integrity of the nation. Tbey require that they should dictate terms before resuming their places in the Union.
