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

"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. Augustin is compelled to
hire the Academy of Music when these illus
trious brethren next assemble to do honor to
his illustrious predecessor&nd himself.
