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.
