THE NEW YORK PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. 00riln BVBBT DAT FOB SVaMtVO TKLKORAPH. Cn(rcii and the liar. JYrm like A'atio. We should be sorry to sec Congress Hdmlt the doctrine which the Hupreme Court has pro pounded, that the Legislature of the United States has no rifibt to say what qiiaiiflcatloris shall be necessary to cnublc a man to practise in the national courts. As long as the Sonato docs decido, and Congress may decide, whitt manner of men may be Judges Id these courts, there m somethinir unreasonable in declaring that it baa no power to say what manner of men shall be professional pleaders before them. If it were once admitted that the Supreme Court lad exclusive jurisdiction in the mattor of de termining the dtness of the lawyers who prac tise before it, it would bo in the power of that body to convert the Federal bar into a close corporation, and five to n few men a most odious and dangerous monopoly of a very lucrative and important business, and the people would be without any means of redress. Jt is quite true that the possibility that a power will be abused is not by any means a conclusive argument against its existence; but as loog at its existence is disputed on other prounda, it is a very strong reason, for steadily retustng to concede it. While claiming lor Congress, however, the Tight to fix the qualiflcations lor admlsdiou to the Federal bar, and whilo heartily approving of Mr. Bout well's bill so far it is merely decla ratory, we cannot help saying that we think it is a great mlntake to attempt, as Mr. Boutwell is attempting, to exclude men from practice in the Federal courts because they may have aided or abetted in the Rebellion. Every argument which has been used in support of this measure is based on a mistaken conception of the rela tions ot an advocate to the public, and of the whole theory of his duties and rights. What ever may have been or may now be the position of the bar in other countries, it is not true that admission to it in this country can or ought to be considered as in any sense ti "privilege" which the Government "has in its power to bestow or withhold. , The barlq England, as well as in France, has come' down irom the Middle Ages as icloe guild or corporation,- like every other trade or calling, and in the lormer country admission to it has always been anrt still is saddled with re strictions, for the avowed purpose of reserving the profession for men In a certain social posi tlon.r JJur the bar In Ameriua has no such tra ditions or antecedents. The profession of an advocate here rests on the natural and inalien able right of every man who seeks justice in a court ot law to be heard in his own behalf; and from this, if by reason of ignorance or in firmity he cannot speak for himself, bis right to be heard through the medium of some ono bet ter able to state his case, and chosen by him self, is an inevitable deduction. This right can not be impaired or destroyed by any guilt os depravity, or the commission of any crime; in tact, the more henious the crime of which a man Is ,'aocused, and the more terrible the pnnithment which awaits him if found eulltv. the stronger and more sacred does the right Persons' accused of treason and felony were, down to a very recent period, refused the assist ance ot counsel in England, on the ground that it was an indulgence to which they were not en titled, and by which the dignity of the king's courts would be Impaired, and that the judge, "would take care ot their interests; and one ot the finest pieces of wit, sarcasm, and logic ever produced by Sydney Smith's pen was devoted . i. jwT.H.:A- t ,1 . 1, 1 i 1 1. . . to the demolition of this barbarous and inhu man fallacy. But neither the theory nor the practice has ever made its way across the Atlan tic. It has never been denied here that a pri soner's or suitor's right to avail himself of the services of a clever brain and readier tongue than his own, is part and parcel of his right to be beard in bis own defense. When the State? steps, in to provide rules for admission to tbe bar, or to determine the qualifications of those who shall exercise the calling ot an advocate, it does so not by way of granting a iranobise, but for the purpose of protecting sailors and prisoners from being wronged or defrauded. ' The object of its interference is to guarantee to the public that attorneys and counsellors have a lair; knowledge of the law and are ot good moral character, and that cases may be entrusted to them without risk of miscarriage ejther through cross ignorance or dishonesty; and other qualiJcations than these we deny the right pf the Government to insist upon. These restrictions may be imposed, because they are for the Interest of the cttizea; bat other restric tions may not bo, because they are not neces sary to the citizen. 1 The fact that a man has committed treason may be good cause for ex cluding him irom the bar, if he has been con victod of treason in open court; but treason is not a crime which renders a man unfit to per ioral an advocate's duties faithfully. If so many persons have committed treason that It is impossible or , Inexpedient to try them lor the offense, it is also inexpedient to expel them all Irom the bar on account ot it. : To exclude . every man from practice in the Federal courts who has aided or abetted in tlio Rebellion, is to exclude nearly every doutUern lawyer of character or ability, or, in other words, to leave the whole Southern people without the means of Beeking their right or deiendmg themselves in courts of justice;, and this penalty, we repeat, we ' have; no right to infliotion any commuaitv, no matter , what oflense . they, have committed, though it were 'the unpardonable sin" itselt. As long as we keep oonrts' of 'justice-open, we must allow men to appear in tbem by counsel of their own rhnliv ond (n whom tliev have nonlirlHTice; hut if we prescribe a qualification which through out the, continent not one hundred laywers can show, we practically deny people the right to appear by counsel. What the North aeks for, and what Congress is bound to provide, is perfect equality before the law for all classes, colors, ami conditions, and such protection for life and property at the South as it is in the power of the Government to furnish or secure. For these thiuns we go at all hazards. Whatever )s plainly necessary to secure these great ends, the. country is will ing to door have done, cost what it niay; but billA like this of Mr. Boutwell's, which can serve no purpose but that of alienation and irritation which, so far from hastening the restoration "of order and law, will do much to retard it by shaking tbe con Udencc of the Southern people in tbe national courts, will not, uniess we are greatly mistaken, command either the sympathy or support of the people. We must look at these questions from a practical point, pf view, after . all, no matter what our feelings may be. We sympathize with Mr. Boutwell's indignation t seeing Bradley Johnson practising in the Bupreme Court, but we eaunot reconstruct the Union on principles of holy wrath. As long as Ihere are tour millions of traitors at the South, 'and we have to live under the same political ,ropf with them,, or else slaughter them, we Spoust submit to much that tries our patience mid wounds our patriotic sensibilities. ... But ,pry let us meet this necessity like men. ' ,"If, like children, we cry for the moon, like children ,-yvo must cry on,".. Tk Day of Very Small Things 'Vom the Times.

PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, Leplslffttve Departments of the Government to a point which makes the whole thirty ridiculous. Coii!refM ' is determined that "no .Aaiericaa Minister shall speak disrespectfully f its actiod even to friends at home; and the Secretary of Sta'o seems inclined to hold the representatives of the country abroad to a rigid responsibility for couversatioulw':th their couutrytnen at their own tirt'fWen. We can understand the propriety of requiring that American Ministers abroad t-liall not put themselves in an attitude ot hos tility t tiieir own Government, or make public proclamation ol their dlilerences of opinion with tlice who have the conduct of its affairs. But it is simply absurd to say that they may not con verge attbeir,own tables. with their own country men, just as freely as if they were at home. And it seems to us still more unworthy to permit anonymous persons to put our Ministers at foreign Courts upon their defense with their own Government, for opinions they arc re ported to nave uttered in such private aud con fidential intercourse. The action of Congress In the case of Mr. Har vey, and the reasons assigned for it, arejsiniply pitiful, ho man can read ttiera, we venture to , say, without a feeling of humiliation. Mr. liar- ; ve'y is the Americnn Minister in Portugal hold ing the place by appointment of President Lin coln, with the advice and consent of the Senate 1 and discharging all the duties ot his post with ability and fidelity which stand unimpeached. A j ear ago or more he wrote a private letter to Mr. Reward, which was published, throuch no BEency ot his own, in the newspapers of the dny; and in that letter be expressed dissent from the principles and- policy ot Congress in : us treatment ot the question of restoration. For this difscnt, thus expressed. Conare.-s punishes Mr. Harvey by cutting off his salary ! os Mr. Scbcnck e.xprcsi-cs it, by "starvlim him out." Mr. Stevens made a feeble attempt to ' deuy that Mr. Harvey was to be piinisned for expressing differences of opinion with Congress, and alleged that it was because those opinions were expressed in "foul and vulgar language:" because he' denounced and vilified Congress in the laoguaee of a "blackguard." Those who are familiar with the style in which Mr. Stevens habitually speak of those who differ from him in opinion, will certainly ; be snrpri-ed to find him making such an obiec tion as this. Over and over again dunna the present session, as well as heretofore, he has ' stood in his place and branded members sitting by bis side as "tools" and "knaves," as "trai tors" and "cowards, because, aud only because, they differed from him on certain measures of , public policy upon which they were called to . act. Even if tbe languase of Mr. Harvey's ' letter had been of the character which he as- 1 cnbed to it, Mr. Stevens is scarcely the man from whom objections on this score would come , with any special force, nor did his authority receive any access of weight irom being rein forced by Mr. Schenck. i But the charge was utterly unfounded, as th . letter itself abundantly p:oved. There was . nothing whatever in it which any man any where, in office or out, might not properly say, ! without any violation of taste or ot a proper courtesy toward.? any Department of the Gov- ernmcnt. Th" strongest allegation Mr. Stevens 1 himself could even pretend to find warrant for in the letter, was that Mr. Harv?y had charsed . Coneioss with a purpose to "rule or ruin," and I had compared its policy with that ot the Duke of j Alva.' And evou this was utterly unfounded, tor, ' as Mr. Raymond showed, these terms were not used with regard to Congress, but to "partisans engaged in and exciting" the crusade against tbe Union. It was not 'without significance that I Mr. Stevens should have so promptly applied this description lo a olu uji.. . your persons to himself aud hts associates; but tbe excuse given by him for cutting off Mr. Harvey's salary was evidently a pretext. It was not the real reason. He urged it, not because ot any lack of taste in the use ot languase on the; part of Mr. Harvey nor because his opi nions were expressed ln"foul and vulgar" terms but because they were different 'Irom those held by Congress. It they bad beeu on the other side, would Mr, Stevens have objected to them, no matter how coarse the laueuage in which they were conveyed f 8uppo.e Mr.jIIar vey had upokenof the President precisely as he did speak of Congress, does anybody believe that Mr, Stevens would have proposed to cut off his salary on that account ? ..-. i In this particular case. . Comrrea unques tionably proposes to punish our Ministers abroad for expression opinions different Irom those of Conirress, even in private letters. This is the precise meaning of its action in re gard to Mr.. Harvey why it is, to be confined to him.jtbe public have not been informed. We do not know that Mr. Stevens would shrink from applying the same rule to office holders of all grades, at- home and abroad. He would doubtless be quite willing to cut off the balary of every man in office who does not agree ' with him in opinion: and ' probably nothing1 but the fear that Congress and: the couutry are not quite ready for; so sweeping a I measure, prevents him from bringing .forward ' a bill to that effect. But. ihless the principle I is to be more general In its application, it is : worse than absurdr it is unjust: in its opera tion and malicious in its motive to apply it to the case oi any single man. There is no more reason or excuse for cutting off Mr. Haivey' salary because of his differences with LV.nErress. than for cuttiuir off that of Mr. Stevens himself because, of his differences with everybody else. ' The whole business is paltry and pitiful. It reflects discredit upon, the country, aDd place the men sent to represent it abroad in a posi tion which no nian tit to servo the country any where ought to hold. No Minister can submit, without humiliation, to the supervision of his private conversations by the Secretary of Htttte nor can any man be expected to submit his private correspondence to the scrutiny and con trol of Congress.

V. f ThU pithy phrase of the late President owed its great Currency at the time U was uttered, lb the practical character and impatient temper of the American people. It was felt that, the war languished, and Without caring ' anything for the 'excuses; the people lost all patience with commandeis who aimed at results which were not achieved. 1 The homely shrewdhess of comparing them ' to "augers that would not bore,'' exactly hit the public feeling; and taking advantage of the prevailing eagerness for suc cess, President Lincoln was able to depose gene, rals, Issue emancipation proclamations, im prison citizens, and perforin other strong acts with the concurrence of the country.

I None ot the rea onbletcMe for the earl mi'liary delivs will avail in rosprct to reconstruction. To or gaiiize and rtlsnipliue a vast armvoi law recruits is necessarily a work of time; but the present Coup ress was as completely qualifkii ti act on the subject of restoration the first month of Its first se'sion as it can be in the sinele remaining morth of us Imm. Indeed, there is no reaon why the question should have been deferred to ttu Conurcss at all. Tbe war overtook us of a sudden, and found tbe country unprepared; but, from the Very day that the war beann. everybody kne that tbe reconstruction would have to be met. and it was the duty of Congress to define ttie terms. Military movements were subject to be ballled by the enemy, but Congrei-s, during the whole six years, bas bail nobody to oafflo it. It has been preponderantly Republican, with a co operatina President during the tirt four years, ana majority enough to override the veto since. The whole policy ot the Government, during the whole six years, has looked steadilv to re construct ion ; restoration was tho prblessed object of the war, and has been the professed object of the most important deliberations since. W e are now entering upon the seventh year, and no policy of reconstruction is yet agreed upon by a party which has uad absolute coutrol of Consress during the whole period ! If this does not correspond to Mr. Lincoln's Oefiuifion of "an auger that won't bore." ptay what would? This disgrnceful debility, this wretched do liothing in fliciency of the Republican pnnv in respect to reconstruction, does not proceed from luck ot statesmanship, but from lacs, of honesty. The subject is so simple, and the obli gations imposed by the Constitution so impera tive, that no statesmanship was needed. In fact, it was not until the near close of the war that anybody pretended to see difficulties. The Cist Concrcss after the beginning of tbe wur were unanimous that there were none. They pushed a resolution, without a disenting vo ce, declaim c that the sole purpose ofthe war was to put down military resistance, and that, as soou as that was accomplished, things would revert to their former condition, leaving all pie-exlktitisr rights unimpaired. Besides this formal declaration, the same view was again aud again taken incidentally. Some members of both Houses from the seceded Mates remained without question among them Andrew Johnson himself. An election case from Vlralnia was very elabo rately debated in the. lower House, and although the member claimed to have been elected after Viiginia had seceded, the discussion turned en tirelv on the recti la ritv of the election under the laws ot the State, and all the speechps of the Kepublican members were tull ot implied admissions that, as soon as the enemy was driven off so that reeular elections could be held, tbe right ot the Southern districts to seud representatives would be perfect. Indeed, tne T. . i : j '. j . . 1 . itt puuucuii oi mors uuu writers are cuusiuiuij j udmitiiug now, that this was the view univer- f i-uiiy luiveu mrui They are perpetually sayiug that it is fortunate on the whole, that mihtaiy success came so slowly, since, il the war had closed withiu the lirt two years, the Rebel States would have been promptly admitted back without question. But nobody can deuy that the Coustitutional question is precisely the same now as it would have been then. Whatever the Rebel States have done to torleit representation, they had done prior to 18U2. If it is secession that works the forieiture, they had already seceded; if it is the transfer of allegiance by their State Gov ernments, thev had 'already sworn all their olllceis to support, th. oniifmiersry if it is raising armies and makinar war, IbuCni.. h.,i been already done on the lcruet scale practi cable. The constitutional and legal questions ar,e therefore precisely the same now that they were the first year of the war. when, by univer sal .admission then, aud universal admission Hince, the States would have beeu immediately restored on submission. Not only is the constitutional question un altered, but every reason of expediency remains precisely the same. It was not les necessary 'to take security for the future" then than it is now. In factj the necessity would have beeu greater then, for the South would not have been so crippled and prostrated, and tbe continued existence of slavery 'would have furnished mo tives to reopen the quarrel i Now, why Is It that a question once deemed so simple as to adrait .no difference of opinion, has become, so complex that the Republican party can come to no aereement upon it, although every clement which enters into the problem nowrwns equallv present then ? It thus become difficult only bocaase it is now thouebtt necessary to evade tbe Constitution, and that instrument is so wisely constructed for foiling such attempts, that the rndical problem is as insoluble as the old one of squaring the circle or causing perpetual motion.' If tne Union is not restored im til it Is restored by tbem, it will never be at all ; and the Repubiloun party, as "an nucr'tbat won't bore,1' will' be cast aside. ' Tbe people, havine, made such stupendous sacrifices lor the-Up ion,1 insist on having what they bargained lor. '1 11 Pocketing la via. I'rom the Tribune. . . ....... Congress, early in' January, passed two im portant bills, one repealing the amnesty powers o the President, the other regulating the electivefranchise in the Territories. On Thursday the Committeee on Enrolled Bills reporUd that the President had failed either to sign or return ! the bills withiu the legal penod allowed him j for considoration, and they had, therefore, by the provisons of the Constitution, become laws. ! Tbe Committee further reported tjiat, they bud, ' not been published as laws,! and offered a reso lution that the Secr.etary of State should inlorm the House, it the bills had been hied in his De partment. This resolution was adopted. ; In this case the President has plainly pocketed not only tho bill, but tiiei law, and nullified, at least for tbe .time, the 'Constitution itself. The Constitution declares ihaf'if any bill shall uot be returned by the President within ten davs (Sundays Excepted) latter U shall have been f resented to him, the. samtf. shall be a law In ike manner as it he had signed it," and the laws of the United States require that in such cases the bill shall be filed with !the Secretary ol Ktate, to be published by him. as laws, : The Chairman of the Committee: on Enrolled B Us stated, aud we believe correctly, that this the first Instance In'the history of tbe Government ' in';' which 'tt i vHirdi duty had not iboeni performed; i and - the. Speaker quoted preceaents showing that Mr, Buchanan having (ailed to sign or return, bills within tbe leealtime. had' officially notified U6hgres6 tbat they had become laws. Mr. Johnson, therefore, either from ignoraneej neglect, or intention, has thwarted tbe intent of the Constitution, and suppressed the laws of the United States. ' This is not mere matter or ibrm-i-and 4f.lt were it might become a dauuerims precedent If allowed u Is a very serious violation ot the spirit ot the CotiBtJtimon, and, niay possibly be a present evil.
