2 THE NEW YORK ritES3. BDIT0E1AL OPINIONS OF TIIK LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. COM FILED TBT DAT FOR KTKMKO TELEGRAPH, Reconstruction, jfyom the Tribune. Though we wcro confident from the first, we re very happy to be more fully assured that Mr. Stevens was mistaken In asserting that the reference to the Joint Committee on Recon struction of his bill providing for the reorgani zation of the ten States not now represented in Congress was equivalent to an Indefinite post pjDement of the subject. On the contrary, we understand that the subject has already been taken up by that Committee, with a determina tion to perfect and report a bill that ougbt to be passed, and to pas? it at tiiis session if possiblo. And tboufih but five weeks remain, with very much to bo done, we earnestly hope that their rtl'orU may be crowned with success. Better Jet two or three appjopiiation bills, or even the revision ol our internal tax system, ro over to the ( allud sea.-iou ol the Fortieth Congress, than ail to pa a reconstruction bill. As to the great leading features of that mea sure, we have repeatedly offered Btmgestious that bave not teen favorably received; and we may fairly presume that the Committee du giro no more from this quarter. Yet the sub ject is of such transcendent, such imminent consequence, and the peril of misdealing with it so very prave, that we must once more solicit their attention. Even if it were certain that our views would be disregarded, that would not dischaigc us from the responsibility of offering The chief mistake made by Congress hitherto, in our judgment, is that it seems to contem plate the people of the Stages lately in revolt as divided politically into barely two instead of the actual thru classes, which are a3 fol lows: . , 1. Those who, though possibly coerced or frightened into yielding some aid to the Rebel lion, were always at heart Unionists, aud re joiced when the Confederacy was overthrown. 2. Those who, sincerely believing in slavery and State Sovereignty, went heartily aud promptly Into the secession movement, and fought it out on that line until they were un deniably beaten; but now honestly aud lrankly say, "We appealed to the sword, and the isaue is decided against us; we accept the result in good faith, with all its legitimate consequences; and will henceforth loyally maintain the Union as of paramount authority, and the rights of all lis people as established by the triumphant Emancipation policy." 3. Those who no matter w hat they may say or swear are at heart just as much Rebels to-day as they ever were; aud, being debarred from further open, manly hostilities by defeat, keep up a cowardly, sneaking warfare, by way laying and assassin at ing individual Unionists, especially black, besides burning negro school houses, and subjecting the unfortunate race to every form of abuse and outrage. These crimes, though seeming isolated aud casual, are really prompted by the spirit of rebellion, and imperatively demand the sternest and promptest repression, in the interest alike of natural justice aud national integrity. Can we be wrong in our conviction that the action of Congress hithorto has seemed t the second of these classes, an . lc , t0 drive its members back in tue tnrd tf those who were once RbrtB, but are to-day as hearty Unionists as the best of us, are to be treated exactly like Semmesor Pollard, how are we to develop and diffuse a hearty Union sentiment among those woo nave aiauy nine ueeu xvu : Does not such treatment tend to drive back into the Rebel fold thousands who might and should be henceforth pillars of Unionism ? How shall Unionism be expected to grow and flourish at the South, if we repel accessions to its ranks after this fashion? We beg all to understand since there seems now to be no obvious temptation to misconceive that there is no "sickly sentimentality," no "bumamtarianism," no special tenderness to criminals, or repugnance to penal inflictions, in this view of the matter, but simply sound, hard sense. The distinction we insist on is real, palpable, and important. If we are ever to stop the murders and outrages to which loyal rneu aro still subjected throughout portions of the South, we must have the aid therein of Union ists who were formerly Rebels. We can have it; it would be culpable not to have it. Then why Dot take such a course as promptly to secure it t Mr. Stevens' Reconstruction bill of this ses sion was about the first submitted lroni our side of the House which clearly recognized that there were thousands of good Unionists at the South who have been Rebels. In this respect, it marked a signal advance in the Congressional apprehension ot itic subiect. We think the posi tions therein affirmed might be more happily developed aud more accurately applied; but the right principle is clearly recognized in his bill; and whatever else the Joint Committee on Re construction may do we trust, nay, we entreat, that this principle be embodied in their forth coming measure. As to those school-district oracles who still ' talk as though military execution might be ; wisely decreed and extensively enforced against threeor four millions ol people, argament would 1 be wasted on them. Silence refutes them with adequate cogency and respect. But to those who can distinguikh what is practicable from what is nakedly impossible, and who would not have an empire lie waste, amid general poverty, ' insecurity, and suffering, while tbey prosecuted ! fanciful, illusory projects 'of vengeance, sug ' gestions may be made with some hope of re ' suiting advantage. To such, certainly, we need hardly urge the wisdom of embodying in the ! forthcoming measure of reconstruction all the kindly, reconciling provisions that are intended ' to be carried into effect. If, tor Instance, there are to be no furtner prosecutions for simple treason, let the bill so provide. It there are to be no more confiscations, or nona but under certain aggravating circumstances, let that likewise be specified. And let all the required conditions of reconstruction be distinctly set forth; so that any State which shall in good ialth comply with them 6hall thereupon be , promptly restored to self-coutrol and represen tation in Congress. We hope it may not be rouud necessary to leave anything essential to ntingreneles. Let us have a plan which exe cue iuelf, or which must at all eveuts be exe ufed. . Do wt seem to cavil and complain where the hick-i J-thin partisan finds everything loelj anda entranced w ithd miration ? Let ns clostwitt a citation from one of the greatest Americais (though he was a South Carolinian), ' llufrh 8.

X TWH tfm XJCT UU "Old Thad Stevens" was Bet bk the other day in the House of Representatives by the commitment of his bill to reorganizing Rejei Btates to the Joint Committee of thetw Houses pu Reconstruction. This Committ tBUg charged with this Important bill, will,HS we learn, enter Immediately upon the preparttum of a proper bill of reorganization, in view ot rejection of the pending Constitutional ameni meut by the unreconstructed Southern Kate-, THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 18GL and will, it is canceled, report some emeriti nipasuie to the llouse within a few days, in order, if possible, to secure tta. pawagi dartnat the present seosion. Otherwise the reference amounts to notbinsr, bocmie with this s sstou, on the 4th of March, this Joint committed, with the prenent Congress, expires, and all uti finished legislative measures in either House mut, with the new Congress, in order to be finished, bo taken up denovo. "Old Triad'' was of the opinion that the reference of the bill would be Its death, but it means only the tiausler of the subject to the new Congress. We think that was a wise proceeding, bocause the new Congress, elected upon the platform of the pending amendment, will know precisely what to do in this business of reconstruction, and because, during the four weeks and a half remaining of this Conprc's, the two Houses, to pay nothing of the Tariff, the Gold bill, or th3 Bankrupt bill, will have enough in the way of unfinished measures of a peremptory character to occupy all their time. Assuming, therefore, that nothing further will be done by this Con gress for the excluded States, the question recurs, "What will be the programme of the new Congress?" Doubtless the first thing in order in the Senate will bo the trial ot Presi dent Johnson on an impeachment for certain "hieh ctimes and misdemeanors" from the House. This trial, we expect, will be completed with the conviction and removal of President Johnson by or before the first of May. With his arraignment he will probably be suspended, and. by a new law passed for the purpose, 'ener,il Grant may be appointed to supersede him during his suspension and after his removal for the remnant of his unexpired term. Otherwise, with the susoension or re moval of Mr. Johnson, the President of the Senate, under the existing law, will take his place. As, then, with the new Congress a new President of the Senate will bo elected, the choice will bo made, in the absence of any ne law on the subject, as a temporary election to the White House. In this view Senator Fessen- den, Trumbull, or Wade will probably be the j ninn. I Meantime, while Congress is thus disposing ; of the stumbling-block now at the head of the Executive department, and providing a substi- j tute in his place, the ratification ot tho pending amendment will have been consummated by three-fourths ot the States constituting now the Government ot the United States. Leaving out Nebru-ka and Colorado, the whole number of State? entitled to a voice upon this amendment is twenty-six, of which number twenty is three fourths. Already the ratification has been made by Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New YorR, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, 'Oregon, Nevada, Tennessee, and West Virginia seventeen States. We want only three more, and I'enusvlvania, Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and California can surely lur-nishtho.-e ttiree within the next thirty days. The duty will then devolve upon Congress of proclaiming the amendment part and parcel of the Federal Constitution, the supreme law of the land, binding alike upon the inswle and the outside States and the IVrri'ories. With this proclamation by law it will become the duty ot the President, under such an enabling act as Congress may pass, on tho basis of this amendment, to proceed to the recon strnct.on of the Rebel S'ates; and a refusal ia this matter to execute the law will of itself be a sufficient cause for impeachment. This is the licht way for Southern reconstruction it is building on a constitutional foundation that will stand, and it covers all the securities needed for the biture. The States and peoole represented in the Government are the Govern- mint- thrv ptpIii.'- '-' uu peupi", lUiimilUg nwVin&sin the Government by their Rebel lion are subject to the will of Cougress as to the terms of their restoration. President Johnson, in recoguizing them as members lawfully vestored by his owu acts, and in defiance of Congress, clearly becomes a sub ject for impeachment. With his removal, as the Constitution provides, and with General Grant in his place, the saving virtues of the amendment will bo at once understood and ac cepted by all the outside States. The preposte rous old' notions of the Constitution and State rights, including the rijht to shoot nisgers and Yankees, which they are now preaching and practising under the protection of President Johnson, would soon bo changed to General Grant's political application of Lee's surrender. Impeachment, the amendment, and General Grant to execute it South, ought then to be, and we expect will be, the programme of the new Congress. Tlie Clouds Accumulating Turkey About to Fall to Pieces. From the Times. "The Oriental question i3 reopened. It is of little importance who opened it; it is given to nobody to repress it." Thus the &ieci'e of Paris, ot January 15, be gins its editorial on this all ubsoibiug topic. Our French contemporary is probably right. The system of theocratic gov ernment, so indivisible from Ottoman rule, is an exotic iu Kurope, has never been accli mated, and no diplomatic juggling can much longer sustain aud maintain it. It is not ironi any religious impulses that we speak so. It is the irresistible spirit of proeress that pushes on events for the ultimate downtall of Tuikey, aud we only utter what every oue with his eyes open, and capable of fudging, must have seen aud lecogulzed lor himself. While to the north, the west, and south of Turkey, all natious, by a liberal adoption of the progressive spirit ot the age, have been more or less advancing, and the development, intellectual, moral, mzterial, and political, of the lowest strata of society has been equally upward, Turkey has remained stagnant in the pond of an absolute theocracy, with a form of government that may have been appropriate for the Tartars, Mongols, Arabs, or Moors, ten or evu six centuries ago, Dut to-aay must appear repulsive to every civilized people. It was this very fact, not opely avowed, but tacitly felt, which gave J'iiUkeltenism such universal spread during the years of the last Greek revolution, and promoted our own Henry Clay to his eloquent appeal in favor ot the Greeks; which inspired President Monroe to declare, in his annual messase of 18211, that "the dominion of the Turk is forever gone," and that "it is hoped that Greece will achieve her independence." It was this that then impelled Englishmen and Frenchmen and Germans to volunteer in the Greek army ot liberation, and that applauded the many acts ot kindness and sympathy shown to the suffering Greeks by the American squadron iu the Mediterranean. The independence of Greece, then, was the wors of the joint assistance of all liberal-minded na tions. Selfish diplomacy, however, circum scribed her limits, and millions of struggling Christians were heartlessly left to the rude dominion of the Turk, under the plea of pre serving the balance of power by maintaining lor Turkey in Europe a mere shadow of inde pendence. Ever since, this Oriental question has disturbed the repose of Continental rulers from time to time. The 60-called "questions" of the Danu blan Principalities, of Bosnia, Servia, Montene- sro, oi the neutrality ot tue ciacic ctoa, oi me possession of the mouths of the Danube, even that of the possession or Christian protection of xue Doiy places in raiesune, are out so muuy parts of the all-absorbiug topic of the continued existence of Turkey in Europe iu its present condition of stagnant and retrograde theocracy. Some weeks ago, a prominent French diplomc tist was reported to have declared that it these troubles be not settled six weeks thence, they will certainly outgrow diplomacy. Aud it seems irom lutebt advices, by mail as well as by tele graph, that tLey have already done so. Turkey is arming to a prodigious extent, considering the vapid aud indolent character ot her Mussulman population: little Greece is marshalling nearly all her available forces; Russia and Austria are concentrating troops upon every adjacent point where jtheir immediate use is likely to be wanted; the Italians are in a paroxysm of ex citement, and flock in hundreds and thousands to the aid ot Crete and the Greeks, for whom they feel as tor a connate nationality. Public opinion in Fiance aud England is becoming highly excited, aud may push their unwilling Governments to some action, i Thu we see nearly the whole of Europe ."gl'ding its lolnr" for the impending frav, and all Mpns point to the fact thst this time Turkey wll) tiud low it any allies. The s ory of Arkadl struck a sympathetic chbrd as did that of Mis Boloughl, and if once more the Tars: shall b called to face In battle the forces of civilized Kurope, let us hope It may be. for (be last time, and that It will end with quartering him some where in Asia, where he came from and where he properly belongs. Possibly, Napoleon may tear that his pet scheme of the great Exhibition may be spoiled or largely interfered with; pos sibly he may attempt and succeed to postpone the otitbicak till after its doe, bnt poifibly also he may become compelled to have the con test localized to Turkish territory. But let the flames of general war rise blood-red in the Kast and no map on earth can fell where they wili not light lor fresh prey. Whatever may be the other results, the end of Tuikey seems near at hand. The Dog on the DoorStep. From the World. There is In Philadelphia n very snug and most respectable pilvate house, of which the pro prietor is Mr. Peter Augustin. He, and his father before him, has always held a respectable social position, and followed a useful calling. Here, if .a gentleman, or more than one, wishes to give a private dinner party, he can do it. Here bank directors and turnpike managers dine, and there is, or at least was supposed to be, over it all the shield of privacy which protects social intercourse. Last week a few gentlemen Invited Mr. Buchanan, ouce President of the Udited States, to meet them at dinner in tbe most hociable and unceremonious sort ot way, and he came, and doubtless the dinner was a good one and all the better because it was not disfigured ui-imcrrupiuu o.y spoecnes or toasts or any- inmg or me Kinii. it was strictly a private entertainment. But now-adavs, and espe cially in the City of Brotnerly Love, there is no security. It people don't cnoose to dine at ihe l-icague, they are not allowed to dine in peace an.vwbcre. On this evening, it seems, Mr. John W. Forney, Secretary ol the Senate, and editor of the 1'iess, was in the city ol his adoption. He was, that night, vagabond. He hart been at the Union League aud tound it dull as who does not? and was wander ing down Walnut street, when ho espied ine iignts in Air. Augustins aining-room. "Surely." tbouuht he, "loyalty is banauelms here, and where lojalty is, there I must be wel come. It is too soon to go to bed." He crossed the way and rang the bell, and, when Mr. Aueustin appeared, he boldly asked who were the company np stair.-, to which, it is said. the reply whs given in courteous but emphatic terms that it was none of his business, aud he turned away aud sat, desperate and thirsty, on the lower step and wept. Cams viulat acute, lie tried the bell again, and tnis time with better success, for a subordinate negro answered it. and gave Mr. Fornev the names of the company and possibly a copy of the bill ot fare, and per haps some of the remnants ol the feast; and, ' armed with this, be rushed down tho street to theiVe.ssollice, displaced his literary editor, who was preparing a Sunday article on the family relations ot the royal family of Prussia or Saxe Gotha, and wrote the following "decent" edito rial lor the delectation of the ladies and gentle men of Philadelphia. We have no other com ment to make on it than this, that we do not believe there is another community which would tolerate such a social outrage or such a fellow. In Philadelphia. Forney is a loyal gentleman 1 i iijs nan. jo m t'oujjciL. The event of a formal Stato dinner" to ex-rreMaent Huehinau, by hm di.-cinles, at Augusiiu's, in this city, on Tuesday evening last, must noi go uuiw.or(P(1 The following persons composed the company: James Buchanan, Edward Ingersoll, Richard Vaux, J. B. Baker (ex-Collector), Henry M. Phillips, Dr. Evans, ot West Chester, George Sharswood. J. T. Montgomery, Dr. Biddle, Mr. Savage, Dr. McCrae. It would be hard to find a more complete re presentative body. It was the creme de la creme ol the sympathizers. The exploit of Mr. Inger soll at New York, where he insulted the Gov ernment that protected him the speeches of Mr. Vaux in ranting apology for the Rebel lion the steady affection ot Dr. Evans for the "lost cause" are as well known as the obedient following of J. B.'s example by the other patrons of the feast. What a happy reunion it niU3t have been 1 Nothing to interlere with the flow of congenial feeling; no discordant voice of intrusive patriotism; no loud iuteration of offensive loyalty; no icminder of the death of slavery; no vulgar allusion to tho death of the Confederacy; ubove all, no "Lincoln hire ling" in the shape of a Union soldier. If the O. P. F. was not happy, it w as his own fault. Nothing could have been more agreeable to him, save only the presence of such dear friends as banished Sliaell, Mason, Breckinridge, and Toombs. But who knows that the next banquet may not be given in their honor under the claeuic roof of Wheatland ? Audre w Johnson is doine his woik so well that we should not be surprised it Mons.
