2 the EW yoric tress. editorial orisioxs of the leading JOLKNALS UrON CURRENT TOriCS. (jUM rit.KD IVKRT BAY JTOR KTFMNQ TKLIiClttArB. Tlie CJrent Dlsn ttpolutmcut. from the Iribune. t About 175,000 people nro supposed to have gnashed their teeth and torn their hall Wednes day morning over the news from Chngo. It 3 not rah to assume thnt of tho-e who held lickcts iu the crcat Chicago lottery, a ta3t majority fully expected to become the forlu jiate possessors of the- Opera House, and thnt Ihc 300 huudred lucky ones who drew the mnn ler prizes arc almost as disconsolate as tUo llioiicands who drew nothing at all. For Ourselves, we must confess we don't feel sorry jor them. They spent tlicir tiv: doll.irs tool ivby, and they richly deserve.! to get nothing jor tlicir investment. This business of lotteries is fat becoming an 3iiHUtlerablu nuisance, and it is high time to abate it. The policv shops, where servants and lnv Inho-ers squander their hard earnings; the still meaner e Indies staring us in tlie face at evety corner, where the unsiispectmi? are deluded inio buying worthless "Kilt jewelry;" Ihc exchange, offices" where you may stake your doll.irs on 4-11-44; the charitable rallies in which the dctnoralizimr pttssion lor -;iuibliug, suid 8oii)ctime, we prrievo to cay, the grossest Onhonesiy, arc impressed into the service of Telicion; the Art Union enterprises now for Innately less popular than they used to be; and ruualiv, this erreat scheme by which Mr. Cfo.by 2ms ot rid ot bis white elephant-all these are symptoms ot a ninnia which is fat becomiiif? epidemic, and threatens to play fearlul havoc with the moral health of the public. We dou"t purpose at this late day to reopen the question of the influence of lotteries. The sensible por tion of mankind decided long a?o that it was "bad. We only want psop'e to ask themselves wherein lottery tramblinsr on tlie stage of the Chicago Opera House is any better than poiiev plaving in a diriy den on West Broad way. That jnen of good reputation and social standing pave their countenance to the formor scheme is perhaps the worst thing about it. They ought to have known better, and remembered that lhey are the cla's to whom the poor and the jenoraut have a right to loos lor good example. " Perhaps tl.c untorttmate persons who didn't draw the great prize on Monday may be helped to a resolution to avoid such things lor the future bv lookiug at the following figures: The Opera llouse was valued (by its owners) at SliOO.OOO. though It certainly could not have, been sold tor near that sum. The Art nailery was not worth, at the outside, over $j0,000. About 180.000 tickets were sold at $5 each, yield ing $900,(100. Alio wing $ Ijll.OOO for expenses, yon lave $700,000 as the price obtained tor the Opera llouse at least 30 per cent, more than it would Jjave brought at a regular sale. But this is not all; nearly 30,000 tickets remaining unsold were xeckoned the property of Mr. Crosby, and placed jn the wheel; so that the owner of the build'.ng. ?e.-.ide getting a very handsome price for it, had one chance in every seven of drawing it himself! We have no douot that the drawing was con dueled honestly, and without deception; but Jiad we not better avoid, for the future, all transactions in which, the seller has such tre mendous advantage over the buyers ? A Suggestive Kcmoustraiice. Ti-titn the '1 me. Whether Congress heed the remonstrance or Hot, there cun be no doubt that Mr. Doige, in liis speech upon the Stevens Reconstruction bill, correct y described the clfeet of the pre-' Tailing tendency to extreme partisanship, us well upon the credit us upon the industrial and business interests ot the country. He pointed out the importance of so regulating the work of reconstruction that it shall present the fewest possible obstacles to the development of the re sources ot the South, which must precede the revival of healthy trade in that region. And be deprecated the impeachment project as hav ing, even in its inchoate state, heen detrimental lo the national securities. One case he men tioned, in which a large amount liis been diverted into other channels simply by the tear ol Impeachment as a contingency which recent events have shown to be within the limits of probability. it would not be diiliciut to multiply illustra tions ot this nature. The Wall street quotations may not give evidence of any serious misgivings iu the minds of the operators. It is notorious, .however, that extreme sensitivene-s exists, and that the slightness ot the ri?e in gold, and the steadiness in the rates of Cuvernmeut securities, are attributable to the prevalent disbelief in the Tculity of Mr. Asnley's scheme. Let it he once (crtuin that the scheme is going lor word, and that the conflict between Congress and the jSxeeut've approaches its critical stage, and the upward bound ot gold would he paralleled only by the tumble of Government boiKts. The fail of one would be as disastrous and sure as the ad vauce of the other. Besides, the present s'.eadi ness in the prices of bonds is doubtless due to the efforts ol their holders. Mr. Do ige's remark does not apply to these so much as to the indis position of investors to touch them afresh, or to enter into tbem more largely. His point is. that timid, cautious persons, having money to ir vest, are driven by the excesses ot partisanship Jo seek other forms of investment. They prefer not to exchange their cash lor bonds whose im mediate convertible value depends on the abso lute stability of the public credit. The impeachment project is, of course, the most formidable of these sources of peril. It is a menace to which no capitalist can bo indit J'ereut. It points to the recurrence of days as gloomy as th gloomiest days of the war, and it makes possible a contest whereof we cannot see the end. The whole question of reconstruction, lowevcr, is prcguani with tendencies of the eame sort. Theie can be no assurauce of solid, Justing peace, while ten Slates stand out of the tlnion. The merchant ami the manufacturer are left to grope in darkness so long as the iStates which ure richest in natural advantages continue practically closed to Northern enter prise. Until these things be changed until the danger of renewed trouble be passed, and the political and Industrial relations of the country attain a conditiou more promising than the pre sentMr. Dodge's warning will mem remem brance. The politicians whose recklessness ho coudem ns may or may not be actuated by honest purposes, but their violence shakes confidence in the luture of the Government, and in the name degree retards the healthy operations of busiuess and finance. These considerations, we are aware, have no place in the minds of the mo.-t noisy ex tremists. Mr. Call Bchurz, tn tne Detroit J'ost, pooh-poohs the effect upon the national credit as a matter to which the advocates of impeach ment should give no attention. Wendell Phil lips and the tribe of irresponsible talkers hold mil liar language. Anarchy, according to the demagogues, is less to be leared than the con tinuance In office of President Johnson. What to them is the value of Flve-twcntics, or the xporeauteation of Southern industry, or the promotion of trade, compared with tho objects Xbey have iu viewf So far at they are con cerned, Mr. Dodge will remonBtate iu vain. But the great mass of the people, not being pro fessional patriots, are more practical in their irieas. They don't want anarchy. They are not prepared to drive gold up to 200, or Gov ernment bonds down below par. They know that, at the beat, trade and industry have a try inn time before them, and tbey have nc. desire to add paralysis to depression. Not that any general desire exists to tempo t1 ze witn the great principles that must govern etion of the Union. The people ....... th hardxhlos of the war. and Droved i.i. w.otmes't to make any sacrifice which tiondpd in suDDort of the Government, Jire not likel to repine at the difflcultios wuick prevent tho immediate coiisumtii ition of their tj.sk. They mean that the woik's'iill be thoroughly-even Hi tigh It be plowlv per formed, and will doubtless iiitain their repre sentatives in every n. ensure which circuui stiiiicifl mny render - iiecpssiii. At the simie time. ' patriotic stute-manship is com patible with the moderation ot manner which thi material interest of the coun ry urg-ntlv rMiiire. It is pos-ibie, wo believe, lo do all thut Congress is bound to do to provide Hip triiurniiu-ea which the sentiment not less than the Interest of the loyni States demands without producing panic. To be thorough and piirnest. It fa not requisite to play into the hands of trold gamblers, or to friuriiten thp holder of nattonal securities. Congress may hold its ground against the ('resident without running wild on the subject of impeachm-nt. And it is at least possible that the premature multiplication ot plans of reconstruction, while the plan solemnly submitted by Congress l yet in abeyance, will "tend to nggt'avatc and delay, rather'than simplify and has'en tho adjustment of the question. The statesmanship that would command the respect of the country must begin I by showing that it respects itself. And this it doe not do when it plays with Impeachment as though it were a harmless game, or talks of the reconstruction of ten blates with a levity tuat might more properly mark the management of a town electiop. Bill lo Regulate (he Practice mid DeHuo the Power of the Supreme Court. J'rom the. Herald. Since the day when Chief Justice Taney, in pronouncing the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Died Scott case, declared that a negro under the Federal Consti tution "has no rights which a white man is bound to respect," that Court has been under a cloud of popular odium as the devoted and re morseless instrument of the Southern pro blavery oligarchy. In the recent decisions of this Court we see that this old leaven of slavery still leavens the whole lump by a majority oi one, and that without a reconstruction of the tribunal or a timely law of Congress denning its powers and limitations, we must prepare for some other and bolder decisions, mvolving a justification of peeession and rebellion as con btitutional riehts, and the condemnation of the war for the Union as an invasion ot State sove reignty and a blunder and failure. Inth'.sexigency, Mr. Williams of Pennsylvania on Monday last came to tho rescue in the House ol Representatives with a bill which, wo think, neatly covers the necessities of the situa tion. It Is a "bill to rpgulate the practice and define the powers of the Supreme Court." It provides that "nil cases of writs of error from and appeals to the Supreme Court of the United States wherein is drown in question the validity of any statute or other authority of the United States, or the construction of any clause oi the Constitution, or the validity of a statute of or Rn authority exercised under auy State on the ground of repugnancy to tlie Constitution or laws of tho United States, the henrina shall only be had before a fuli bench of the judges' of such court, and no judgment shall be rendered or decision given against the validity of any btatute or any authority exercised by the United States unless with the concurrence of all the judges ol such court." . On the motion for the suppmision of the rules for the introduction of this bill, the vote of the House stood 107 to 89, a strict patty vote, ex cepting Mr. Raymond, half-and-half, who voted this time with the Democrats, in the minority. The bill was then reterrod to the Judiciary Com mittee, and we presume that it will soon be re ported back substantially as it stands and passed into a law. The authority of Congress in this diiection is ample and clear. The Consti tution says that "the judicial power ol tlie United States shall be vested in one Suareme rTburt, and iu such inferior Courls us the Con gress may lroiu ttrue to tiaie ordain aud esta blish:" thut "the judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity arising under this Consritutien, the laws of tlie United States, and treaties made or which shall be made uuder their authority," etc., and that ''in all cases uflucting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, nud tbo.-e iu which a State shall he a party, the Supreme Court shall have origi nal jurisdiction. In all other cases before men tioned the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both ns to law and fact, with such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congrci-s shall make." The remedy contemplated the conversion of the court to "the issues of tne war aud the ulti matum of the loyal States can be reached in providing, as proposed, that "no judgment shall be rendered, or decision given against the valid ity of any ttututes oi any authority exercised by the United States, unless with the concur rence of ull the judges ot the court." This bill, then, It pushed into a law, will practically relieve the Supreme Court of any further interference with Congress in this business of Southern reconstruction, and it may thus operate in a remarkable change of boiithein sentiment: tor it. appears that the main reliance ot the intracta ble ruling classes of the South nowisiu this Supreme Court, us it is now divided, tive judges in i heir favor against four, and as its decisions upon all questions are now made by a bare majority. It beclns to be apparent, therefore, that, according to the Constitution, the las'.ies decided by the war will be established under the will ol the people and the authority ot Congress over the rebellious States, aud that all impediments blocking the way will be removed, including the present majority rule of the Supreme Court and a hostile Executive. Nor are these things the mere expedients ot a party tor party pur poses. They are the demands of a great revo lution which cannot be resisted, but which must run its course. Starting with this revolution from Kort Sumter, we expect to follow it to its legitimate and crowning results. President Johuaou nud the Democratic farty. From the World. ( "Did Andrew Johnson, directly at or his aoces- i sion lo tho .Presidency, resoive to break witn tne i parly which had elected him Vico President, and 1 iiluuo himself at the hi ad of its antagonists?" If he did, then tho a-sionption that Coture-s has picked a puarrel with him is ruluted; if he did, then very much which has been veticmontlv dis puted must be accepted asuiideuiuole truth. bune. To sustain its charge th:it Mr. Johnson re solved to desert the party that elected him almost immediately utter his accession, the 'frttwne rakes up and parades an editorial from a Democratic paper in Washington, published fifteen days alter the assassination, which un dertook to prjve lrom Mr. Johnson's public record that he had always been a Democrat, and founded a favorable augury ol his administra tion upon that circumstance. The President s enemies must be bard pushed for grounds of accusation wheu they resort to prouis so ineie- vani ana lrivolous. Mr. Johnson wiqhl, with entiro consistency und honor, huve conducted his adramitration lrom the beginning in the interest of the Demo cratic party; but, unfortunately lor him and lor us, that was not bis choice. The point of honor and consistency we will postpone while we rebut the accusation. There is no great use In deleuding Mr. Johnson lor w hat he might have done, when, in point of fact, he hus chosen to do something quite dillereut. We regret that, instead of defending his honor from the re proach of aiding the Democratic party, the only defense called lor by the facts mustcou sist in a denial aud disproof of the accusation. The Cabinet bequeathed to Mr. Johnsou by bis predecessor was, in two of lis most promi nent members, more ollensive and odious to Democrats than it could have beeu made by any possible change with a studied design to insult them, unless the change had brought in General Butler. Mr. Seward has been the most promi nent mark for Democratic Invective ever since he cHme into public life. The "tinkling of his little bell." aud the system of wanton, illegal imprisonments ot which it is "damned to ever lustiug fame" as the symbol, had no tendency t J soften that inveterate hostility. Mr. btantou, ut flic bond of bis cohorts of piovost-mamhals and spies, was nn JntolerHble stench tn the .nostrils of all Itomocrats. President Johnson not onlr retained these , men at the' beginning ol Ins administration, but lie lias kept them to tMs day. The Democratic party have never b'-uaed tor his ollices ; n'y were quire will ne lie should bo.-to them v, here they would rontribute most to the early restoration, ot the Union. But theie was nothing m Mr. Johnson's relations to the party that elected him which forbade his appointing oflier Ho publ'cHtis in place of these odious Secretaries, and it he had had any desire to aid, or even to conciliate, the Democratic party, he need, not have keprtbose objects ot their detestation among his confidential advisers. If Mr. Johnson bad determined lo act with tl.c Detnoclifs, he would have aided them In tho elections. This hp has never done; having been a greater detriment than ndvantaae to us in every election tl.at has been hold. With his open support we could havo carried the New i'ork New Jersey, and Connecticut clctions in lsor; but such support was not given. Nay the moment th ose elections were over, he did towards us one of the most contemptuous and contumelious acts in his power. He immedi ately took up General Kllpatriek, who had carried New Jersey against us by tho most ribaldrous abuse ot the Democratic party and its leaders, and rewarded him by au lmportaut foreign mission. The Philadelphia convention, last sum mer, wasadeviceot tlie President's to avoid giv ing the moral support of his Administration to the Democratic party. Neither that Convention nor his spcech-inaking tour in support of it, was of the slightest use to u. however well intended. A pilgrimage in aid of the Demo cratic party, with William II. Seward as associate spokeeman, was a little too grotesque for this earnest epoch. President Jounson has done nothing for ihe Democratic party, and, as a party, it owes him no eratuude. Itts recon struction policy is, in all its essentials( pre cisely that ot President Liucoln. It in no way contravenes the declarations ot the Convention by hi h he waa nominated. Mr. Johnson was nominated for Vice-Presi-dent because he was a Democrat. Mr. Hamlin was entirely acceptable to the Kepublicnns; but it was thought necessary to cajole tho war Democrats into voting for their ticket,',and for this reason alone Mr. Hamlin was set aside. The prominent Democratic candidates were Andrew Johnson and Daniel S. Dickinson. In the Convention, Thaddeus Stevens vigorously opposed the nomination of Mr. Johnson, on tne ground that, Tennessee having seceded, he had ceased to be a citizen ol the United States. Mr. Stevens was overruled, and Mr. Johnson nominated; the Convention thereby declaring that the liebel istates were still iu the Union. Mr. Johnson himself understood his nomina tion in that sense, and. In the speech he linine- maieiy maue ut jNusnviiie, he put his acceptance on that ground. A sentence or two lrom the Nashville speech is worth quoting: Next it said if I mav be pormittod to speak of mysuii, r.oi in me way oi vanity, out to illustrate a priiiciplo "We will go into ono ot the rebo lious States aud chooso a candidate for the Vice-Presi dency." Thus tlio Union party declared its belief thai the rot vdious States ni o still in i lie Union, and thut their loyal citizens aro still citizens oi the Luited St&toe. Surely, then, Mr. Johnson has not renounced the views of the Convention by whii h he was nominated. By tak:ng him from a ttebel Slate n indorsed his present policy in advance. Least ot all can the Republicans maintain that he has deceived them. He proclaimed to the country the sense in which he understood his nomination, not only in the Nashville speech, but more formally in his letter of acceprtince, in which he referred to that sppch as "detiniug the erounds on which his acceptance was bused." In tho same letter of acceptance, lalluirfin with flie idea on which he had been preferred to Mr. Hamlin, he made a direct api'eul "to my old friends of the Democratic purty proper, with whom I have so long aud pleasantly been associated," trying 10 peisuade them that they would forsake" no Democratic principle in supporting the ticket. This recital ot well-knov. n but partinlly-forsotten facts explodes the charge ol pertidy to the purty by ! winch he was clect' d. The platform of the Baltimore Convention was purely a war platform, and in no respect a re , construction platform. The only action of the j Convention on reconstruct ion was indirect, first, . in the admission ot the Tennessee delegates, und then, with more pronounced siguiicance, in ' selecting u citizen of a liebel State lor Vice President. If such a selection did not tairly bear the infi-rpiotation publicly put upoii it at the time by Mr. Johnson, w hy wus no lisp of contradiction uttered in any of the thousand ' IU'publicun newspapers that printed and lauded tie Nashville speecu? Thut speech and the letter of acceptance are a complete estoppfl to all the charges of deception and bad faith brought against Mr. Johnson by the liepubiicans. He told them precisely where they would tind him; he accepted the nomination because it , enabled him to stand conspicuously in that 1 place. He proclaimed that tue Convention hud made biui its representative of the principle that the Rebel Stares were still members of th Union; and this has been the guiding principle ol Ins administration. We hold that, wheu the Keoublican ptivtv desprtecl this principle, Mr. Johnson was re i leased from any further fealty to it, and might have administered the Governineut in all re spects in the interest of the Democratic party, to which he had alwus belonged. It ought by . this lime to be apparent, even to him, that he made a mistake in not doing so. By acting from I hist to last as if he shunned Democratic asso j ciutinns, he truckled to the proscriptive spirit i which prevailed during the war, and incited i others by his example to keep aloof lrom what i he seemed to regain as a party of political lepers. : By acting iu this manner, he aided the Repub lican leaders to shame their rank nud tile out of ; any inclination to desert to the Democrats; i whereas ii he had boldly led the way while the reconstruction question wus yet new, and men's j opinions upon it not yet nettled, the Republicans could not have consolidated their party on its i present disunion basis. Had he openly count I nauced the DemoeruMc party twenty months i ago, he could have biotiiiht into it a large fol I lowing; luit by his peculiar course he has muin- taiued the strength of the Republican party witl out iu any degree disuniting the hostility to him. The Democratic party will continue to give Mr. Johnson, in the rubs that await him, the sume 6teady und disinterested support as here totore. They huve upheld him on "no personal or purty grounds, but becuuse they felt that they were thereby upholding the Constitution. They have never wanted any of his ollices, but th. v have sometimes bitterly felt that they were entitled to his open co-operaiion wheu they were fighting his battles, und he hud so few uubougtit supporters in the Republican party. But thoueh he has allowed the ground to slide from under him, and has parted with all the power he ever had to help us, we bhall stand by him without flinchine to the end. lor the sake of the Constitution which he and we are alike zealous to preserve.
