General Sheridan's) Explanation.
OYom th Trilmn.
Among th Mfxkian documents transmitted by
theriesident to (be House, In answer to their
request, U tbe report or General hhertdau to the
War Department, (tiring his reasons tor the arrest
Of Senor Orteva, ruo oiaima to be the oonstitntlona
President ol Mcxioo br virtue of the fundamental
law of that country and the tree rote of its people,
benor Ortega's protect against the arrest is based,
first, upon the wrong violently done to him per
sonally, in disregard of individual trnarantees.
Secondly and Uiis is the point that chiefly con
cerns the American people, upon grounds ol inter
national law he says: "I protest, in the name of
the Mexican republic, whose powers I exercise a
President, against this said act, because It Imports
n Indirect in toil, rence by the armed torcos of the
Lalted States in tbe solution ol looai Moxloan ques
tions. 1 axatn proiest, as 1'rcmdont 01 Mexico,
axainst all acts wlilcu directly or indirectly load by
loroible means to impose upon tae Mexican peopio,
in the character ot government, the laotious rejre
Vented by iir. Benito Juares," etc etc.
Uenoral bheridan's attempted justldeatlon of the
arrest rests upon thosearounus: 1. l'hatthe acknow
ledged bead o. Uie bib nl Government during the
recent events in Mpxico was Fresidout Juares. and
that Orient bad fled the country. 3. 1 bat Ortega,
while n a foreiau oountry, did as much as lie could
to counteract thorn (the events) by the publication
of real or priteude.4 rights av constitutional Pre
sident of Mexico. 8. That this did not satiiy Ortega,
but be renoivedon an appeal to arms to entoro his
Claims, and combinations were formed at New Xork
and Biownsviilo 4 That Ueueral Orteia was
.boat to cross the line of our frontier, end was
arrested on the same prinoiple that the Fenians
were arretted in attempting to violate our law by
the Invasion of Canada. 6. That the Amoncan
people bave fuffered in trade from the disturbed
condition of affair on the Klo Grande, first by Im
perialism and then by foreign merchants in Mats
moras, who set up suoh men as Canales and Otoga.
The admissions made by General Sheridan
Strengthen tbe pro. eel of General Ortega, and are
evidence enough tnat his arrest was a violation of
International neutrality absolutely indefensible,
benor Ortegv elected to a high office by too people
oi Mexico, claims to have beoome the President of
ths.Kepublio by the expiess terms ot tne Constitu
tion, upon the expiration of the term lor whloh
Benito Jnaiei was e ected. It is a question not of
fact but of construction, one which belongs wholly
and exclusively to the Mexican people, who, dis
turbed by tne invasion of the French, have ha 1 no
time to devote to it, and the authority of fcouor
Jaarez, who, being to a certain extent in possession,
bas claimed to hold over until a new election, has
been more or lew acquiesced in. Senor Ortega,
although power ess to enforce his claims, has not
ceased to ma ntain them, and Geu. Sheridan makes
it a point awn t nim that he bas counteract d tne
efforts of Juurez by the publication of real or pre
tended rights as constitutional President ol Mexico,
and has looked forward to the enforcement ol his
alleged nphts by an appeal to arms. It is not
alleged that anv violation ot our neutrality laws had
been actually done or attempted by Menor Ortega:
bat General biitridan, .ooking at tbe contest
between tne two oatmants for tho Presidency, pre
fers Juarez, as being, in his view, the acknowledged
bead of the Liberal Government, and repudiates
Ortega as inter ering witn J uarez and with the in
teieets of Americans; and so, on the same principle
that the Remans were arrested in attempting to
invade Canada, he arrest Ortega as he was quietly
entering Mexico with bis Presidential suite and
retainers.
Geneial Sheridan suggests that this was done "to
Counteract these machinations, and to prevent our
neutrality laws from being violated," but no item of
proof is given that our neutralitv laws wore being
violated, and the tone and character oi General
Sheridan's report show that he expects to justify
bis aotion on tbe othor groundi whloh we haves pa
cified. ' Uad oenor Ortega been arrested for the
crime ol violating, or attempting to vio.ate, our neu
trality laws, ttie General would nave advised him of
the charges, and the Government would have
ordered bis trial. Assuming that Geueral Sheridan
bas no better defense than that he has submitted, he
should be auvired that he, and not Ortoga, bas
violated ttie laws of international neutrality br
intermeddling in tbe domestic affairs of the peopio
Ot Mexico. I he Amonoau Government It 1 ro
bented to tbe woild in tho position of violating
at the flist opportunity the pledges and
principles which Mr. Seward, so long as
neutrality was ol importance to ourselves, unceas
ingly repeated to tho courts oi Europe. "Our polioy
of non-intervention," be declared, "straight, abso
lute, and peculiar, bas beoome a traditional one."
While tbe echo of oar boastful devotion to this policy
yet lingers m the diplomatic atmosphere., we cele
brate our restoration to power by an intorleronce
with the concerns of our weaker neighbor -an act
that is an open violation of international right and
International courtesy. Our Government seems
emulous of that lnso eut disregard for all law, ex
cept tbe law ol the stronger, which the great powers
oi Europe too often betray in their intercourse with
the lesser.
The act which we are compelled thus to denounce
Is indeed the act of Geni rol Sneridan, but thi re
sponsibility for it rests not upon him, but upon the
authority at Washington fiom which proceeded his
instructions. Tho country we 1 knows what hand is
kept upon the helm of our dip'omaoy. General
Sheridan oofs not, in anv letter which Mr. Seward
bat permitted to see tbo light, seek to relieve him
self ot hi" personal responsibility for tbe arrest of
Ortega, lie is a soldier, and obei s order. Chival
rous to a fault, bo prefers to bear the odium of a
fiolicr of which bo is probably not the author, but
he instrument. He may well think be cau afford to
trust his own reputation with tbe American peop'e,
Who honor and conildo in him. But Mr Reward's
popularity wilt not be much increased by tbe dis
covery that be is willing to saddle on General Sheri
dan so much of Ins diplomacy as he understands to
be a blunder.
"Pernicious Dream" The Realities of
tbe Situation.
From the limet.
Now, a? before the war, the South is afflicted with
dishonest as well as injudicious advisers. It labors
under delusions fatal to its peaoc, and regulates its
policy with a very remote reference to facts whioi
concern it deeply. Its repentance unhappily comes
always too late. Not until the other day did a
Mobile journal discover that Vf. L. Yanooy was one
Of the worst enemies the South ever bad ; and pro
bably some time will elapse bofore the majority of
Its people hold the promoters and loaders of the Re
bellion accountable for the sacrifices they have boon
compelled to make and the sufferings they now
endure.
More progress has been made towards a correct
appreciation ot the statements of the Democratic
press as to the course vthicli the South may advan
tageously puisue. It Is possible to trace the begin
ning of an in presuion that the South has been
Wantonly, cruelly deceived by its Democratic friends
deoeived a to the feeling and purposes of the
Northern people, and especially deceived as to tbe
Course to be pursued on the aubjoot of Congressional
action. Tbeie bas yet been no lorinal indiotmont of
the Democracy on the score of laithlessness, but the
murmur ug which un through the more moderate
of the Bouthorn journals are unmistakable in their
significance, lake as a bpecimen the lol lowing
paragraph lrom the Macon (Oft.) Journal and
&letenier:
"Some of the Southern press have, we doubt not
Tery undesignedly, aided in disseminating false
views oi the reelings aad purposes ot the Northern
people in respect to lhoutu, by republishing arti
cles from the Day Boole, Metropolitan, and other
Northern Joumais of the class Copperhead. These
articles are very pleasant reading. 1 hoy resoond
lully to the honest convictions of our peop'e in re
spect to the cause of the war, and the moral and po
litical attitudes of the parties to it. I'hese papers
talk ver confidently, too, of a reactionary opinion
in the Northern S'ates upon these points, and South
ern hope warmiy seconds all such suggestions. But
in truth, tiiese are mere dieaun, and in many re
spects pernicious dream. Ihey inspire us with lalse
bopesand lalsevn ws of the political situation, when
it is most ot all desirable that we shou'd fix our
tninda upon the sober truth, and mate the best of
Our bad and unptemislng condition."
The facis thus stated are undeniable. The Demo
cratic journals, to which our Southern contorapora
ries fondiy appeal as authorities upon the recon
struction question, do not give, and never have
given , an honest veri-lon of the public opinion whioh
controls the Government They are repeating the
tricks they precised betoreand during tne war, and
With objects identical in tlie r nature with tuoe
Whioh tuen influenced them. They are p aying with
the Southtrn question for party purposes. And the
came they ate engaged in require them, on one
(.and, to cheat tbe tum ot Uio Northern, iowo-
oiscv bv a falre rendering ot tbe flouth-rn ease, and
on the other to delude the honthorn people by a
fall exposition of Northern sentiment. The result
oi the elrollnns has but partial y andeooived tbe
r-outh, bcoence the newspapers of that nct'on con
tinue as the Maoon Journal says to dlemlnate
the "false vicas" oi the Copperhead press. The
whole li nth has not beon permitted to reach the
Southern mind. It is told ' of a reactionary opinion
In the Northern Ste es." although every Inlelhvent
man resident in this latitude knows not only that
no reaotlon is Discernible, but that the tendenoy of
opinion is In the dlreotion ol ttronrer measures
than bave hitherto been proposed, "southern boite
warmly seconds all suoh suggestions," no doubt;
but tbe occasion calls lor the truth, not for base'es
liopis and that is precisely what cannot be gathered
from Democratic eo'nmns.
1 he Macon editor has discovered that the calcu
lations on wh'cli the South has proooeded in reject
ing tte tonst tut, oual amendment, and in tritium
to suggest othor terms are "mere dreams " When
this conviction become general, as it will be by
and by, curS'S will be hesped upon those who have
inspired the South "with fa so hopes and false vle.vs
ol the political situation." Meanwblle the Journal
and Mttstnter cries tor the sotier truth that tie
South, instead ot bom victimized by pernio'ous
dreams, may learn to make the best or the inevi
table. Other Southern newspapers are In the same strait.
The Augusta (Ga.) 0nndru(iorotji( asks, with evi
dent earnestness," V7ha' does the North really want?"
"Does the want tbe Sooth to adopt the Constitu
tional amendment nmler a positive guarantes of full
restoration t .Let Conrrees make the eolomn asser
tion. No such guarantee has ever been given j but
wo bsve been deliberately told, beyond denial lrom
any authoritative source, that even this hu inflation,
vieie our people dispo td to accept it, would not
sutl.ee. Gentlemen of Congress, who are
supposed to represent the North, tell as, in plain
languago, what you really want ns to do in order to
secure restoration. It your terms are too exacting
we wl'l honestly declare tbora to be so, and submit
to the will oi Providence with oloi n hearts. If pos
sible ol scooptance, we will aooept them, and acoept
them in good fanh. Could any proposition be more
fmr to earnest men the men ol '61, who rolled the
blue wave of tattle over un, became they loved us
and the Union too well to part with either f Let ui
reason together; let us tor a season this Christmas
s ason, which rings in tne new Christ curb our
stubborn pride and be candid The North has the
pride or success and the South has the pride ol insult
or deleat. Let us divest ourselves of this pride and
come to an understanding."
The Contfi tutionaiist has caught the right spirit.
Its interrogatory may appear superfluous io us at
the North, but the intent whloh prompts it merit
respect.
What, thon, Is "the sober fru:h" which the
South must learn to contemplate? What real y are
tbe terms with which It must comply to secure
restoration?
Ihefiist point to bo reeoynlzod by the South is
the necessity ol abandoning tho polioy ot passive
resistance on which it lias rooecdetl since the
adoption by congress of the amendment. For thi
policy sulcioa1 as It is, wn fear that tne President is
in some degree responsible. Ills own course since
the elections has been guided tv an apparent, but
nnienablo, expectation that tho roao vo of tho
North wonla wear itsolf out, and thar by waiting
patiently for that event, he would aoh.eve a triuinpa
for his views.
That this is a mistake a grievous mii ake on the
part of the Presi ent, we are .persuaded. Ilia pas.
sivenes is considered obstinaoy, and the resolve of
ibe North vrows Btrouver every day. His example,
however, bas largely uflocted tho Southern pooplo,
The fooling which causes Ihem to rojoot toe amend
ment because it excludes their ieaueis from office,
induces them to ad1 ere to the polioy ol the t'resl
dent, whom tlicy understand to b' their mend. It
Is said, indeed, that bo has excited liimeli to press
the do-nothing policy upon the South, and thai the
decision ol the A abama Legiv'ature is in part attri
butable to his influence, lie this as it msy, tho im
mobility which he unlortunatelv mistake for (Inn.
n ess has beon aooepted as 'he fli tins' property or
prirciploot fcou hern statesmanship; the prevailing
idea in both cases b-lng that the refusa1 to comply
with tbe terms proposed by Congress will neoesitate
tbe offer of other and more favorab'e terms.
Of ail the 'pen loioiis Dreams" from whloh the
South suffers, this Is the worst. II the inortia on
one side were more than equal to tbo impel. ing
force on tbe o her, the poliey which meets the plans
ol Congt ess with a blunt denial might ultimately
prevai1. In existing circumsianoes, however, this is
impossible. The passive resistance on whioii the
South re les must yield to tbe vigorous polioy of the
governing States, as surelv as reboiiton yielded to
loi alty on the ha' tie-hold. It is simply a question of
time; icrthe will of iho ttorth is flxod, ana its power
is lully equal to any possible emergency.
But the terms? The Conttitutimialist has not far
to search to tind them. Just now, they are com
piised in ihe peodiug amendment, wbioh the South,
in its ''pride of insult or deleat," roluses to accept.
The rcqu' st of a guaiantee o.t r stoif tion as a conse
quence ot ratifying the amondmont is, as we have
repeatedly contended, essentially reasonable. Mr.
Si,aldma'B resolution, at nresent b' foro the Rnoon
struotion Commit ee, will, we trust, elloit the autho
ritative assurance tor which the Augusta journal
plead. The dec ai at ions ot Mossis. Shorman and
W'ado in the Senate, and the known disposition ot a
large proportion of the Ke: nhllcan Uei iewntativs,
leave no room to doubt that restoration would fo
low lalifioation, Still, Congress would add greatly
to the moral strength ol its position l solemnly
asserting the intent and scope of the amendment,
and so removing the uncertainty which appears in
tho Augusta inquiry.
What the North really wants the South to do to
eecuie res I oration, is to afford guarau ees that Bhill
adequately adapt the Constitution to the altered
c.icumstances of the country. Tbe North has
liamcd tho Amendment as an embodiment of the
guarantee it requires. Ihev form the minimum
demand which wi 1 be p'esented to the eouth for
acceplunce. Ii rejected in their present shape
thev will be pressed in somo other, wiih this differ
ence, however, that tbe next time tbe North will
not consu't the Southern Legislatures, but will
cany out the p an in its own way.
It is lor the South to dotermine whether the briof
opportunity that remains to it shall be wasted or
turned to pood account. Nine weeks moro will
end the session, and with it the chunce ot restora
tion oft the basis ot the Amendment. After tha t
our Georgia contemporaries may rest assured resto
ration will give place to reconstruction. Tho "sober
tiuth" they crave Is in this nutshell.
Schemes of the Radicals at Washington.
J-'rom the World.
The facts given in our special Washington letter,
which we published on Saturday, will furnish our
readers something ol an idea of the measures which
the radicals Intend to resort to for tbe purpose of
retaining power, it seems that the impoaohment
scheme has not been abandoned, but sim;ly post
poned until the meeting of the Fortieth Congress,
for the reason that the majority of the Ssnaie refuse
to co-operato in a movement oi the kind. They
thereto, e psopose now to carry op a system of pre
tended investigation, and spread before the publio
such gnrbled statements as will, in their opinion,
conviuce the Senate of tho necessity of getting rid
ot ihe f resident. While these oommittoea are at
work, hey propose to have laws that will effectually
tie tie hands of the fresidetit, ana divest him of
all tl.e power possible.
Ihe so-called Southern loyalists are in session
there, furmsh'ug oue-sidtd statements in regard to
theactionol the Southern people, lor tne purpose
ot encouraging the radicals, and thus keepiug them
up to a workiuu p int. The scheme especially ad
vocated and ur?ed upon Congress by this faotion,
shows to what extent the extreme men of the
country are ready to p ish their plans to obtain
power, There is in all this, especially on the part
ol the radical liaders, a boldness, and we m'ght add
a rashness, that is somewhat astonishing. They
n ake no secret of thoir plans, but proclaim them on
a.l occasions, with that assurauoe that oarnos
with it perfect confidence, in their own minds, of
success.
It is probable that were it not for the opposition
oi such men as Sherman, liar lis, and Pcssenden, in
the beuato, who ret use to do the bidaing o( the ex
treme men of the party, the most extraordinary
revolutionary measures wou.d be rosoited to. The
real object ol all this is, beyond any ooibt the con
trol oi the next Presidential e.eotton, and the exclu
sion of the Southern States from participating in
that e eotion. If, with all of these sohemej, we
etcape another contliot, It will be almost a mirab e.
It will not be for tbe ant of determination on the
part of tbe radical chiefs. The hope of the oountry
at present rest.) with the good souse of the Senate,
which may reluse to lend itself to the revolu'ionary
rciicmcB of the leaders oi the Uouse.
The increasing host of Dickens' admirers
are to have yet another edition ot bts works,
which will, in point of illustration, be more
complete than auy yet published; for Messrs.
Kurd & Houghton are eoou to publish a new
edition iu twenty-elx volumes crown ootavo,
which will contain all of the illustrations by
Darley and Gilbert now used in the populur
household edition of this firm, and In addi
tion tine engravings ou ateel of all that hitve
been published from the designs of Phiz,
CruikHuHulc, and others tn tbe English edition.
The result will leave nothing to be desired in
an edition of Dickens. Ilurd & Houghton
