Not one of ihom believes in the rint ol Congress, or any other body or potter to destroy a sovero friiiy. Ibis it the ground aKsuinod by tiie President. II coo tbe coott Jenoo ot the people interested. " The above paragraphs, which wa find in ' different Journals, contain a form of state ment quite common In conservative quarters. It is strange that those who urge such argu mcnU as these do not perceive that they arc entirely Immaterial to the question at Issue. They would have been of som"? relevancy had they been brought forward to save the State organizations overthrown by President John son at the close of the war. II they are sound, then the State organization which North Carolina had during the war was a valid and constitutional one, and President Johnson had no right to overthrow it. But that is no longer a practical question. President John son assumed the authority and exercised the power of destroying tbe old Sta'e Govern ments of the Rebel States, so that whether those States committed "suicide" or not, is now a question of no importance. The only queFtlon, now that those old S ate Govern ments have been destroyed, is, Vho is au thorized to create new ones in their stead t The President assumes that he has the right to do so, and that tbe work he has done In organizing new State Governments in the late Rebel States is authoritative and final. It his assumption be correct, then these new Governmauts may have some ground of validity; if not, then they have none. These Executive State organizations inhe rit no validity from the old organizations which they succeeded. They did not grow out of them by lentil and constitutional suc cession. They are the product of revolution, not of legal succes-ion. Their origin was the flat of the Execufvc. not the will of the people. Tkir history goes back to the pro clamation ol tbe President asserting that the Rebellion had "deprived their people of all civil government." The chasm which sepa rates them from the old loyal State Govern ments, under which their States were admit ted Into the Union, is totally unbridged, and measures the entire duration ol the Rebellion. During that period, by the solemn ollieial declaration of the pr sont Executive, as well as by tho iepcated declarations of his lamented predecessor, there was no lawful civil government within their bounds. Hence the only validity these present organizations have is what they derive from the Executive. If he had a right to make State Govern ments at all, and if those he bos assumed to make are "republican in form," then they may lay some claim to legality. But if the whole work of creating State organizations is in its nature Legislative, and not Execu tive, then these organizations are invalid, and exist at all only by the toleration, not the sanction, of tbe law-making power ol the United States, and are liable, at any moment, to be superseded by lawful and valid organi zations. It contributes greatly to tbe simplification of this question to thus reduce it down to its essential elements, and to cast away from its consideration all those metaphysical subtleties of a something called " a State," wWch is neither land, people, organization, nor any other tangible thing, but which Las an imagi nary vitality unknown to any other created thing In the universe. President Johnson annihilated the Rebel State Governments. On what theory he did it is of no aceou.it; whether or not he had the right to do it is immaterial ; what his motives were for doing it are of no consequence, lie did it, and and from, that fact this whole question takes its departure. He has made neto State org&nizat'ons to supply tbe places of the old ones that he overthrew. And this gives rise to Just two possible questions : First, Ilad he the constitutional right to do the work at all? and secondly, If so, has he done the work in a proper manner ? Ilad he the right to make fetate Governments at all ? And if so.has he mada such as are "repubLcan in form?" These were the real questions submitted to the people in the late election, and their ver dict has been In the negative. And it Is this verdict of the people which Congress Is about to enact itto law. 'I he Kentucky leinoc-ncy Taking a "View." It is cheering to be informed by telegraph that the Democratic Convention of Ken tucky, lately in season at Lou'viIle, "view wiib horror the revolutionary des-gns of the minority now in power in Congress at Wash ington." Tbe Democrats of Kentucky have been "viewing with horroi" the action of the nation for the past Ave years the war for Union, the overthrow of slavery, and the sup pression of the Rebellion. Judging iroia the past, therefore, we may safely conclude that whatever the Democracy of Kentucky 'view with horror" is about right, and will Conduce to tbe national progress and weKare. TflE DAILY EVANING TELEGRArn. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER; 18; 1 18CG. Tho Gteetlntr of Up Czar. Wit are not surprised that foreign powers view with great distrust the friendly rela tions existing between Russia and the United States. The old proverb that "Europe would become either republican or Cossack" has an alarming significance; and now, when a union between the Cossarks and the repub licans is contemplated, we cannot wonder that the monarchs of Western Europn feel uneasy at the conjunction. To many philoso' pliers there seems an Incongruity In this affiliatlo.i of the two extremes of govern ment, but a few moments' examination will find the cause. As the Czar remarks in his letter presented yesterday to Congress, "the two people have no injuries to remember, but only good relations ." In tin absence of all old wounds is found the great c auto for the sincere good-will entertained by both. Then, again, the Ametlcan people feel sjmpathy wilh any nation which Is well governed. There can bo no doubt but that an absolute monarchy an autocracy, if the autocrat be a really excellent man is, umbr most circumstances, the very best government on the face of the earth ; the largo proportion of chances against getting a good autociat being tho objec tion to its general adoption. Rut Alexander and Nicholas were both admirable men, and ucder their wise lule tho people of that great country have gradually Improved In condi tion. The grand strike of statesmanship cf this century was the voluntary abo lition ot serfdom by the present Empe lor. By that one act he added millions lo his large host of failhful subjects, did away with a dangerous class in his midst, and secured the eternal good-will of all the libeials of every land. Russia, as ruled to day, Is much nearer the American ideal of a government than France, Austria, Prussia, or even Great Britain. A combina tion of these causes originated the riendly relations between the counfries, and the graceful letter of Alexander will go far to cemont that good feeling. The (act that the reading of the document was received with applause from all parts of the floor, Is the best evidence that the friendship pro fessed is not merely a profession. The exact part which these two twin nations twins In size, power, and official wisdom, but anti podes in principles, form of government, and traditions will play in the great drama of the future cannot be surmised. But should complications arise between ourselves and any of the Eurpean Powers, the friendship of, nussia wm greatly aid us in any strur"-le and will so moderate the arrogance of our enemies as to make their ears be open to reason, and possibly their purses to the justice of our demands. friTt i fPIAUOi -These beautiful imtru- ST? uicui.arn no . rungiy rccouiuiuuauu by the following; hu.vuh mo trusts iu viuuriua, as any Pianos mjuw ... v 11 1 1.
