The mftjonty in Congress are no doubt right An interpreting the recent verdict at the polls 4s H warrant, for vigorous ami effectual mea sures of reconstruction, If the South persist in it rejection of the proposed Constitutional Amendment. But it would err if it assumed that this" indirect and anticipatory ap proval of stron? ulterior measures tndioited a readiness lo abandon the scheme of compro mise embodied in the Amendment until alter the South shall have had ample timo for the reconsideration of the decision already ren dered. This viow is presented by Influential journal, in connection with the discussion of the several plans of reconstruction before Cou prcfs, and it is corroborated by the prevailing import ot the allusions to tiic subject which are to be iouud in the messages of the Republican Governors!. It is well stilted by the Albany Evening Journai, as lollows: "The lojal people of the North Lave demon strated their willingness to accept the proposed Constitutional amendment as a tinality; and uuul the South shall have full and tree oppor tunity to act upon that proposition, no other should be proposed as an ultimatum. It may be said that they have had this opportunity already. But this is ouly true in part. They have had sullicient time to act; but the attitude and declarations of thf Prcsidont have be'm such that the people ot the South have been led to believe that they could attain to complete restoration without ucquicciuR in any interfe rence with the ancient burbai isms of their sec tion. But lor this Interference on the part of the Executive, there is reason lor the opinion that the amendment would cro this have beeu accepted, aim restoration under it accomplished. If this tact is conceded, it would show a want ot good laith on the part ot Conuress if it should make hapfe to take advan'ngc of the delay which has followed this delusion, and lorce through a proposition which iooks 10 the total abrogation ot the existinu State organizations at the South. The people should not ouly be given time to act. out time to reconsider their action. They should not only bo given to un derstand thai Coucress was in earnest when it proposed the Constitutional amendment, but that there is no power in the Executive Department of the Government to swerve it from its pur pose." The fact Iat mentioned by th; Journal is one which the South hardly yet realizes. But fact it is, nevertheless. Conirress. sustained by the io.vul States, is master of the situation, and the youth will commit an irreparable blunder if it act on the supposition that it may with impu nity spurn the proffered terms of restoration. Should Coneress push forward other and more radical measures, without atlordine time lor rejection, it would not only be chargeable with bad taith. but it would introduce elements of weakness into the Republican partv, and impair the moral force of its policy. The hesi tancy now felt by Union members touching pro posed measures of reconstruction arises in no small decree from the opinion that the aban donment of the pending amendment is not at present warranted. There is still a chance we tear a feeble one that some ot the Southern States will reconsider their course ere the period of grace comes to nn end. It is also pos sible that, on a general and by no means irra tional review of the cae, the ratification by three-fourths of the represented Stales may be held to invest the amendment with constitu tional validity, and thus to provide the guaran tees which must precede restoration. When these points shall have been disposed of unfavorably; when it shall be demonstrated that the umendmcnt is unavailable, and that other measures are therefore n necessity the satisfactory discussion of the forms and princi ples that should govern reconstruction will be greatly facilitated. Until tue actual necessities ot the case be settled, it will be diflicult to per suade the Republican party that a radical chance ot policy is expedient. Lei the neces hity be demonstrated by the final failure of the amendment, and the party will march forward to the further point of reconstruction with an unbroken front. What Mr. Speaker Colfax said last session as to restoration is applicable this .session to the programme of reconstruction: We should "make haste slowly," that the iniel licent judgment of the loyal States may keep step with their Conuressional representatives in every staqc of their action upon this momentous question. Prospects at Washington. J rom the IVibune. The leading friends in Congress of a national Bankrupt law are eutirely confident that the bill (Mr. Jenckes'), which has nrleady passed the House, will soon pass the Senate. As it will have been considerably amended, it must return to the Ilouso for concuirence in the Senate's amendments; but it will not fail there. Unless vetoed by the President and no reason, j unless it be the force of habit, is suggested for such a veto we shall be able to congratulate i ihe ccuntry on the pussace of a good Bankrupt ) law betoie the 1st of Marc'i. That law will emancipate at least one hundred ttionsand of! our countrymen from a hopeless thraldom, enabling them once more to earn bread lor their lamilies, and contribute sensibly to the increase of our national wealth. Hasten the auspicious day ! The passage of a very fair Taritr bill in sub stauce, Hie House bill of last session as amended by the Finance Committee ot the Senate seems ulmost assured by the evident indisposition of Congress to contract and appreciate the cur rency. Manifestly, we caunot persist in import ing largely m excess of our exports, and staving on the evil day ot payment by sending abroad some $20u,0uu,000 per annum of bouds mainly those of our Government which, we sell lor sixty up to eighty cents on the dollar home how or other, this must come to a nnlt; and as the solid (not stolid) Northwest opposes and prevents a resumption of specie pavmeut (lor the present, il says; but its logic p'luiuly con demns and deprecates resumption at any time whatever), it is morally impossible that the enactment of a higher taritf should be success lully resisted. True, some two or threescore of m embers who zealously oppose resumption as zealously oppose protection; but their repugnance to re sumption is powerfully helping us to protec tion; and we thank them fur the good they do without intending it. By one means or an otherthrough wise legislation or through national insolvency we must stop buying more than we can fairly pay for; and this is every day more widely realized. We hope to chronicle the passage of a pretty good tariff bill by the Senate before the 1st of February. Should the President veto the bills admitting the new States of Nebraska and Colorado, the former will pretty certainly, the latter pro bably, be passed over the veto. The idea of impeaching and removing Presi dent Johnson has more strength in the House than we had supposed, and seems to be turning supporters. However, is is not likely to be defi nitely acted on at the present session. All manner of Mexican lobs and protects are hanging about the committee-rooms and look ing in at the lobbies ot the two Houses one of them proposing a modest loan of $50,000,000 to Juarez (whereof so much as f 20,000,000 might and might not get out of Washington); and there is an Ortega loan of like amount lying around loose; but it is quite unlikely that either of tberu will ever get launched in the shape of a bill If $50,000,000 were lent to Mexico by our THE DAILY EVENING TELEGKAPH.

As to reconstruction but that is too crr.vj a mutter to come in at the heel of other topics, and must have an article by itself. Tlie Itrmcdy of Iinirachmrnt-Tlie Casea nf John Tyler ind Andrew .loliuson. from th Herald. The proceedings which have been commenced in Congress looking to the impeachment of I'icsideut Johnon are denouncod by the South ern Rebel and Northern Copperhead journals as unprecedented, despotic, and revolutionary. Wo are warned, too, that this Impeachment, if pushed too far, will result in a Presidential coup d'rfa', and in another civil war, in which the Rebel States will this time be actively supporred by the flirhttng Northern Peace Democracy at tho call of President Johnson. This, we know, is only theatrical lightuiug and thunder; but it betrays the procramme expected of Mr. John son by his present supporters, and so far it will have its cflcct upon Congress. The movement for his impeachment, is, however, a plain con stitutional proceeding, although, in the length and breadth of the issues involved, it is with out u precedent, and without anything ap proaching a parallel case in the history ot this or any other coiinuy. Ou the loth ot January, 1843, the Hon. John Minor Bolts, of Virginia, in the House of iiepre seuiatives. impeached President John Tyler, elected Vice-Prebident on the Wtiig ticket of Harrison and Tyler in 1840, and advanced to the White House on the death ot President Har rison in April, 141, aa Vice-President Andrew Johnson was in April, 1HU5, on the deaih of President Lincoln. Mr. L'otts, in his charges atiiinst John Tyler, accused him of various "hieh criuv's and misdemeanors," uicliidaia "gro.s usurpation ot power ana violation of law in attempting to exercise a controlling in fluence on the accounting ollicers of thn Trnn. sury Department," "wicked and corrupt abuse of the power of appointment to and removal from office," "aioins to excite a disorganizing spirit iu the country" bv nrncluimintr i,w riiirn. gard of a law of Congress which ho himself had approved, "retaininc men in office for alter tlieyhad been rejected by the Senate as unworthy, incompetent, and uniaithful," ' with holdinu his assent to laws iud.Bpensable to the just operations of the Government," "an arbi trary, despotic, and corrnot abuse of the, veto power," "shameless duplicity, equivocation, and falsehood witn his Cabinet and Cnnaresg," "creating offices and investigations, and makintr payments of money without authority in la," and in "withholding iuiormation called for by Conirress." Upon these charges the motion, of Mr. Botts for a i-pecial committee of inquiry, alter a lively day's debate, was finally rejected -jeaa 81, nays 127. and this was the end ot the impeachment movement against Johu Tyler. All things con sidered, the union and peace of tha country at that time, the dominant mtlucuco of Southern ideas and Southern politicians at Washington, and thf fact that Tyler had been only following in the .footsteus ol Auorow Jackson uudVau Buren, and the utter hopelessness of this im peachment in the Senate, the vote for tho resolution was something remarkable. Hail the Whies possessed a ' two-thuds vote in ench house, as the Republicans now possess, the result would have been different. We dare hay that had they possessed a good, solid, working majority in the House and two thirds in the Semite, in tho stormy tinauciai coullict with Old Hickory, even he would have been Impeached and removed, for such things, lor instance, as the removal of the Coverument deposits of specie from the United States bank nud its branches to his pet Stste banks without authority from Comrrcss. The simple truth, ' then, i that if neither Jackson,' Van Buren, nor Tyler, nor poor Pierce nor Buchanan, was im peached and removed, it was only because tho opposing party lacked the requisite majorities iu Conere-s for the work. Buchiuiau, lor c. fnnple, in pleading the pl-a to Congress that he could find no authority in tue Constitution to resist the secession of a State or the organisa tion within the jurisdiction of tue United States ot a foreign and rebellious confederacy, clearly laid himself open to impeachment ami removal iioni office. It does not follow, then, that the oharsesof impeachment raised against John Tyler, in being rejected, establish a precedent for the escape ot Andrew Johnson. But in uddition to the schedule of Botts against Tyler otuer and more serious charees will be made against Mr. Johnson; and therein the requisite vole, aud the will and purpose in each house, yea, the necessity to carry them tbrouirh. Some of the vetoes ot Mr. Johnson were eood aud perfectly legitimate, such as the veto of the Montana mining monopoly bill, the hist Frecdmcii's Huieaii bill ol the pieseut Congress, ami the Colorado !tate bill. But in his veto of the Civil Rights bill he made a mistake, and iu his course it opposition to the pending Coustitulioual amenumeut, he has passed beyond the line of safety in assuming the rigut to enforce his peculiar policy aeainst the constitutional autho rity ot Congress and rthe expressed will ot tne people. . But behind this lies the still graver charge of his pcrsiotent eliorts to deny, contest, and usuro the authority of Congress in his programme of Southern reconstruction and restoration. Con sidering the lriehttul costs aud sacrifices re quired to put down the late fighting Southern t ouledcracy, and the legitimate issues ot the war gained by the loyal Scates, the efforts of Piesideut Johnson to supersede the authority of Congress and the will of the loyal States cover a charge of usurpation of the liioBt fearful lui- , port. Compared with this charge all the other charges against him are mere bagatelle, in cluding the whole Tyler catalogue and more besides. In the scale with this accusation his ' 22d of February tolly, his Canterbury pilgrimae to the grave 6 poor Douglas, and his meiau- 1 choly excuses tor ihe New Orleans massacre are i but dust in Ihe balance Tho highest functions of Congress m the matter ot Southern recon struction, the sovereign national legislative ' power over States and Territories, whether iu , the Union or wrested or purchased from a fereigu pow'er, have been as-timed by Mr. John- I son, aud are still exercised as belonging not to I Congress, but to tDe President, whose special , business it is to see that the lawsof Congress arc , faithfully executed. , Against this sweeping charge of usurpation the tonnage and poutidaae assumptions of King ! Charles the First of England dwindle into iri- j lies, as do the grievances of the American Declaration vt Independence against King I Ceorge the Third. The powers which the Presi dent has cluimed and exercised iu reconstruct ing and restoring South Carolina ami Texas, ho could just as well claim over Caihuahua or Sonora, it those Mexican States were brought within our limits by conquest or purchase to morrow. Why, then, has Congress so long delayed in bringing this conflict to the test of an inpeachrotut 1 We presume that Congress has been waiting for a vindication of its course from the people, and that, having obtained it in the election of the new Congress, President Johnson will eurely be impeached, couvicted, and removed. The "irrepressible conflict" has come to this test Congress must stand aside for two years longer, or Mr. Johnson must be set aside; and, as th case aud the parties stand, Mr. Johnson will have to return to Ten nessee. Congress aud tho Supreme Court. From the World. The leading radical organ of the West the Chicago Tribune makes the most elaborate aud ingenious attempt we have seen to discover a method of circumscribing the authority of the Supreme Court. The great importance of the subject is manifest from the fact that Congress caunot advance another step in hostility to the South, so long as the Supreme Court stands ready to declare their acts void. Impeachment is the ouly puth out of the difficulty, but im peachment of the President u so harsh and groundless a proceeding, Ihnt it Is no wonder the more thoughtful radicals try to devise some other method of reaching the Supreme Court. The first and fundamental position ot the Chicago' Trihvne is, that Congress can circum scribe and limit the appellate junsdietion of the Supieme Court at pleasure. It supports this position by the following reasoning and authotl tles: "The first clause of the second sectiou of Ar ticle 111 defines the cases in which the United States tribunals shall have jurisdiction, aud the second clause of the same section declares that 'in all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, mid those in which a State shBll be a partv, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all other cases before mentioned' (f. e.. nil other cuscs of which a United States Court may take cognizance), 'the Supreme Court shall have appellate juris diction both aa to law and fact, with such ex ceptions and under such regula ions as tin? Con gress pliall ninkp.' The only limitation nlaced Pn the power of Conrrress to distribute the jurisdiction created by the Constitution Is, that , the Supreme Court shall have criqinal Jurisdic tion In the cases ot ambassadors, etc.; and op pcilale jurisdiction in other cases; but this ap pellaie jurisdiction is. In so many words, made j subject to any exceptions or regulations that wunfjii-cB limy sec ui to maKe or establish. In oilier words, the cases in which the Su preme Court has original jurisdiction are enumerated by the Constitution, but the appellate junsdietion Is altogether Pubject to the will ot Congress. It was said by thn Su pieme Court, tn the case of Durousseau vs. the United States, 6 Cranch, 314, 'the npoellate powers of the Supreme Court are given by the Constitution; but they are limited Hnd regulated by the acts ot Cotiures,.' 'And (United Spates vs. Curry, ibid 113) must be exercired in the mode therein prescribed." Thus it will be seen that the power of Congress is without limit so far as the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is concerned, and that tribunal has no other thari appellate jurisdiction except in cases allecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a State shall be party.' Nearly all the business of tho Supieme Court is under its appellate jurisdic tion the cases in which it has exercised original jurisdiction are very few comparatively and all the most important cases in which the constitutionality of the acts of Congress have been called in question have been appeal cases. It is necessarily so, owing to tDe limited cmss of cases in which the Supreme Court has origi nal jurisdiction; and that tribunal has itself decided (Marbury vs. Madison, 1 Craacli, 137) that Congress has no power to confer original jurisdiction on the Supremo Court 'in other cases than these enumerated in the Constitu tion.' It is thus made evident, by the almost unlimited power which the Constitution gives Congress over the organization and jurisdiction ot this tribunal, that the fathers of th republic had no intention ol permitting it to become a political power to thwart the will of the people." Even if we were to admit all that is here con tended for. it is nothing to the purpose. Con gress can, to be sure, make exceptions to t he appellate juiisdiction of the Supreme Court; but it they should withdraw all questiotis allecting Suite rights, what would be the consequence? All laws aieadead letter without appropriate judicial machinery to enforce tboni; hence to except any particular statute from the jurisdic tion of alt tribunals, would virtually repeal it. A law of which no court can tako cognizance, is a law which, for all practical purposes, does not exist. All that could be done, then, under the clause of the Constitution on which the Chicago 'tribune relies, would be to declare that the class of laws with which the radicals are unwilling to trust the Supreme Court shall be liuully adjud cated upon bv the Distinct and Circuit Courts, without appeal. This would only transfer me dillice.lty, and aggravate it; for it shows a gross misconception' of judicial f'une. tions to oppose that it is only the supreme Court that can pronounce on the constitu tionality of laws. This function is not conferred on any of our conns by statute, but inheres in them ail by uccesUy. A'o court can decide am esse witiiout deciding what is the law that governs it; and it there be two contradictory laws, it must decide which of the two is bind ing, or it cannot decide the case at all. Hence, in every country where the Legislature is limited by a written constitution, every court, high or low, which finds a law iii conflict with the constitution must neces sarily treat the law as void; the judges being all sworn to support the constitution, which, by its own nature, is patamount. Now the loud of laws the radicals wish to run into the Southern States past tne b ockade of the Su preme Court, would not operate oppressively on the North, and cases arising under theiii would not be brought intothe Northern Courts. Jn the South, the District and Circuit Courts would pronounce them unconstitutional with its mucii certainty as the Supreme Court; and us no appeal could be made, these decisions ot the Southern judges wo'ild be final. If the radicals wish to try this remedy, we congratu late them on their hopefulness. The whole idea of thus limiting the uppellale jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is exquisitely preposterous. TLe purpose of having a Supreme Court at ail, is to s"cure a uniform interpreta tion ot the laws. But if ihe most important cases re forbidden to be carried up, they will be subject to as many jarring interpretations as there aie different Inferior courts. What, tiieti, it may be asked, does the Constitution mean when it declares that the Supreme Court suall have appellate jurisdiction, "w lth such excep tions and under such regulations as Congress shall make t" It is a precaution against Hooding the court of last lesort with multitudes ol petty cases, to consume its time and waste the energy of its judges on minor questions. It was so understood by the flr-t Congress, which, in passing the Judiciary act, excepted from the ap pellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court suits where the matter in controversy is less than two thousand dollars, l.imitaiion of the facility of appeals is also necessary to prevent appeal's being dishonestly resoited to lor postoouing the execimon of the juugnieuis of the inferior couits. It is under the same clause of the Con stitution that appellants are required by Con gress to give security for the payment of judg ments and costs, and tuat the tune is limited within which appeals can be brought. This kind of regulatiou is reasonable and necessary, and is properly eulrusced to the discretion of Congress; but ihe idea that Congress can screen any class ol laws from being tet aside if they are repugnant to the Constitution, by withhold ing th in from the jurisdiction of the court, is supremely absurd. The Supremo Court would net aside the very law making the exception. Advancing from the Chicago ZWXune'a gene ral principle to its particular application, we tail to .discover any connection or coherence. The superstructure might as easily have been raised on any other foundation, or on none. Here are tho specific practical recommenda tions: "It having boen made apparent by two receut decisions thut it is the de.lioerate purpose of the Supreme Court to thus usurp the legislative poweis of the Government, to deleat the will of tne loyal men ol this natiou in tho interests of a rebellion ciushed by military power, the ques tion arises, what remedy Congress has within the limits ef the Cousi itutiou to protect the COuU.utry-.,ro,u ?H mi9:nlevous desigus-desieus which, if carried out, will either prove fatal to liberty and the Union, or plunge the country into another civil war. Wo believe the remedy is simple. Ihe power of CougTes to fix the number of judges that shall constitute a quorum in al cases, or any given class of eases, is un questionable. The hrd Conere-s fixed it at lour. At present it is tiye. Wo believe a law should be pasted immediately, requiring the presence of eight judges to constitute a quorum, whenever the constitutionality o' anv act of Congress is called in question. it equally within the province of Congress to say what number of voices shall be required in order to set aside any actot Congress as unconstitutional. At present, a bare majority of those present (three Judge s f H bare quorum is present) mav do this. We think the time has come for Coii press to pass a law requiring tne concurrence ol three-iourths, or at least two-thlrds of the whole beueb, to pronounce authoritatively agaiusl the constitutionality ot auy act of Congress. Both of these measures would bo clearly within the cotiftltnUonal power of Con press; both are clearly required by the menacing attitude of that tribunal, which seems to have ioined hands with a corrupt and trencherous Kxccutive to give victory to the Rebellion, and to reinstate the Inhuman and barbarous laws of slavery which that Rebellion was Inaugurated to uj hold. Unless a remedy is applied, the state of things pictured by Mr, Lincoln in the extract above given will be realized, and tho people ot this coun ry win cease to be their own riile.rs the lPKlslntlve functions of Congress will be. usurped by the Supreme Court, and tte Rebel lion will becimie as victorious as though Grant J"1' Si'TV. b? """nd'Ted to Lee an i John theCapito hlmst,lt were ,n Power at a tie recommendation about a quorum is ob jectionable only on the score of convenience If more than one judge should happen to bode tallied from attendance by sickness or accident important suits might be unreasonably delayed but the delay would not be likely to benefit the radicals. The kind of suits In contemplation would come from the Southern States being appeals from judges who had decided' certain laws unconstitutional. Until such jud-rnen's were reversed, the laws tn qne'tiou would re", main suspended, ami the radicals would be wel come to the delay. Tho ree.uit decisions were rendered by a full Court, and in cases so impor tnnt judges are not likely to be absent without necessity. The recommendation of ci 'ht for a quorum is of little consequence. We come now to the gist ot the proposed re form j winch is, that no law shall be declared unconstitutional except by the concuirence of three-fourths ol the w hole number of judges. Such a recommendation could have proceeded only from a momentary oversight of the nature and functions ot a court of justice. Kvery suit brought into court is a suit betwen parties w ho stand to each other (under some legal name or o' her depending on the stuge of the suit ) in the relation of plaintiff and defendant. Between these parties, every court, which is not a scan dal to public justice stands neutral and im partial. The court declares what the law Is only a the means of meting out justice to the pnrties. A decision for one of them, is a de cision anuhwt the other; and justice docs not bold herjjj scales even unless she gives ihem an coital chance. But to enact that, in a court of eight judges, it shall re quire the concurrence of six to deride for One of the parties, while two suffice to decide against him, would be making the chances as three to one against his obtaining justice. It would be loading with heavy weights one of the scales of a balance which ought to be held even. The Chicago Tribune does not seem to regard fhe court in its csential character us an arbiter between litigant parties, but rather as an arbiter between Congress and the Constitution. But even in this latter aspect its proposal Is a flagrant absurdity. Instead of giving the Con stitution aud a law contravening it an equal chance in the couit, it gives the law three chances 1o one aeainst the Constiunion, al though the latter is confessedly of paramount autnority. it is absurd to make any distinctions in favor of either, except such as the evidence , may give it in the reason and conscience of the 1 judses. 1 Ids proposnl, and all similar pi ooosals, are devices for changing the Constitution wuhout the formality of legular amendments. The Constitution makes amendments not easy, but diflicult. They require the concurrence of three lour ihs of the States. But the proposal under discussion requires the concurrence ot three fourths ot the Supreme Court to prevent changes. It is, iu effect, a proposal to enable Congress to make any alterations in the Constitution they please, and to establish such changes as valid unless three-fourths ot the judges agree to reverse them, Wc might as well have no Con stitution to bind and restrain Congress, as for Congress to be enabled to erect barriers against their acts being declared unconstitutional. Aud, in fact, all the current arguments in favor ot the supreme control of Congress over pend ing public questicns are arguments against con stitutional government. The moment you make Congress the final judge of tlie extent of their own powers, you abolish the Constitution. WHISKY, BRANDY, WINE, ETC. !
