THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 18G7. THE HEW YOKE TRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF TIIB LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRKNT TOPICS. OOMPILBD VKBT DAT FOR KVKNINO TEI.EOKAPH. Papal Iaiolemuce. From the Tribune. Tho closing of all the rrotetunt places of worship In the city of Rome, by order of the Tapal Government, has lately elicited some comment. The fullest account of it which we have jet met with is ptiven in a letter from the Rev. Dr. Prime, the well-known editor of tho Observer of this city. Tbe Roman law strictly prohibits Protestant worship in the city of Rome. Tho onlr excep tion to this restriction is that the Ambnsa'lors of forcicn Governments may have divine ser vice celebrated in their own houses. Under thiH protection, tho Hu'sian, the Prussian, tho American, and other representatives of loreitrn ;ovi innientshrtvo had, tor many yearn, chapels in their own houses. The British Govenment has no diplomatic re lations with Rome, but the Briti.-h Protestants have lor iorty years pttt been tolerated in hold ing worshio in a bawot't, fini.-h -d otl' as a chapel, iusi outsid" the walls, by the Porto del Copolo. The practice, however, has been more tolerant than the law, and the Romnn. authorities have winked at or overlooked other roliixious assem blies of foicitrn residents. Thus there have been lor six years two stations of Scotch Pres byterians, which have never been interfered w'ith until, on December 29, the chaplains were served with the following most remarkable wtrninp from the lirlfsh Consulate: "IluiTisn Con.sulatk at Kome, December 21, l.-Sir: It is my oltMnl duty to inform you tlnu Monidnnoro Kmiili, Governor of Home, lias Just coiiiinunleiiU'd to mo that you are hold ing illegal religious meetings in your house, which, you must Know, are iiniinniicii uy 1110 Kouiiui law, und that you have thus placed yourself in the ivcr of the Inquisition, both loram-Ht and imprisonment. "Hulas the MotiKinnoro permits mo to Rive you lliis notice, X would seriously advise that, you at once put an end to these innovation, and that you visit Monsinnore Kandi at Moulo Cilorlo, and you assure turn that you will never a'nin repeat lliesx Illeu:il acts. I hope in this way you may possibly suspend your exile, which is now luw.uiug over you. I urn, sir, your obedient servant, "J os k pn Ki;vf:hn, Dritish Consul. "To the Hev. James Lewis," We are not surprised to learn that some coun trymen of the author of this remarkable doou ment suspected hun ol approviu? the purpose of tbe tioverument. All tli representations made to the Papal authorities were fruitless,, and on January 4 the Presbyterian stations wercloed. Mr. (Mo Kus'ell in vam appealed to Cardinal Antonelli. His relercuee to the liberty trained to the Americans to nave a place of worship drew forth the remark that "the Uoveruiueut would attend to that also.'' Our despatches by the latest steamers are seveial dajs later than the letter of Dr. Prime, and they inform us that the Americans have Tcally been attended to also. All the meetings lor Protestant worship wilhiu the walls of the city ot Rome, except thoe in the private houses of tho foreign Ambassadors, are strictly fordid den. To the ureent representations ol the foreign Ambassadors, the Roman (lovernmeut has only, at length, bo lar vie'ded as to allow the Pro- testints to meet outside of the walls oi the city. Thus the case remains for the present, and in this state it may remain, until the Roman people, aided by the sympathy ot Italy and of "ail civilized nations, shall torever put an end to the Roman Inquisition and to the prohibition of Protestant worship in Rome. The Probabilities and Prospects of the Iniivaclt meut Moviutut, oin the Herald. North and South the public journals of all parties have entered into the discussion ot tbe probabilities and prospects of tho movement initiated in Congress looking to the impeach ment and removal of President Johnson. In some quarters it is ured as a cood and neces sary thing; In some it is considered a mere jjame of blull; hera it Is thought to be very un certain as to the issue, and there it is set down as fizzling out. Some weak-kneed alarmists denounce it as nothing better than a Pandora's box, full of all sorts of evils and disasters, in cluding a financial convulsion and another civil war ; and others think Mr. Johnson will not be pushed to the wall. But all these speculation are mere gue:-s-work, lroni the simple laet that the Juuiciary Committee ot the House, charged with the preliminary inquiry into this business, are properly pursuing their labors with closed doors. We presume that tbis committee will not be prepared to report till near the end of this session, some four weeks h-nee; but when they do report we expect an indictment of im peachment, and that the Uouse will adopt it, and demand of the Senate a trial o! Andrew Johnson tor "high crimes and misdemeanors," . requiring his removal from olllce. This iiiiDeachuient must be made to the Sen ale boiore the 4th of March or before tbe bu.tl ad journment ot the preseut Congress on that day; lor otherwise the whole business with the n"'w Congress will have to bo commenced airain at the bcEnnnina. The present House absolutely expnes ontue 4th ot March; bat tbe Senate (one-third of its members only being elected with every new Congress) is a continuous body. This House, then, betoie the 4tn ot March must act upon the subject or its labors will fall to the ground; but the present Sena-e, naviug received ihe indictment irom this llou- may pa.-s it over to the hennte of the new Congress, This, we conclude, will be the plan . operations. Next, in regard to the char-res at-'aitra Audrew Johnfcou, tbe prlncjp -d, ftU(i a very serious one, will doubtless be the charge of a usu.-patiou on his part of some of those high powers which belong exclusively to ('onerous. Another charce will very likely be that ot intHelity to his oath of office, iu failing to see the la wi of Congress laiihfully executed. Th specincations upon the eh arte of u-urpa-Hon may be applied to his policy or i (.construe tion, without authority in law, and in defiance of the will of Congress, in each of the ten ex cluded States. Upon this charge tho testimony of his Provisional iOvernor, etc.. before the high court ot the Senate will be conclusive. The Secretary of State, in this connection, it npcessary, would also no doubt be impeached; but as he will be disposed of with the lall ot his muster, it will suffice to use him in the Senate hs State's evidence touching the promulgation. under the President's authority, of certain pro clamations, letters and despatches to said Southern Provisional Governors, Legislatures, etc., on reconstruction, including certain otUcial papers, recognizing the Rebel States, in detUnee ol Congress, as duly reinstated in the general Government. Upon these charaes and specifications of usur pation and iu fidelity the issue will be a con elusive against Mr. Johnson as were the accusa tions against Charles the First and Louis the Sixteenth. But while these two unfortunate kings lost their beads, Mr. Johnson, like James the Second, eipelled for similar oll'enses of usnroation of the powers ct Parliament, will only lose his place. In one respect he will be more fortunate, even Mian James; for while he was compelled to end his days as an exile, eat ing tlie bread of charity iu a foreign land, Mr. jobDson will ho restored to his old home among the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee. There, in the cultivation ot cabbages and phi losophy, he may, like Buchanan, write the his tory of his decline and fall; or, like John Tyler, devote his leisure to the improvement of peaches and sweet potatoes. His only condemnation will be that of Othello to Oaxio "I love thee, Casslo, but never more be officer of mine." All this, expressly ordained in the Constitu tion will be perfectly fair, Jubt, and proper, and !.,,ntrv will so accept it, There will be no juic, bo Civil war. ua no lus about It, except amonff the fuwy politicians. A fop Mr. John son's tamoua fourih ot March and Iweaty second of February excitement, and . hi September holiday Irulic with Mr. Howard (o Chicago, they will bo as secondary misdemeanor. Weighed In the scale against the heavy charee of usur nation, they are mere leather and prunella. The Senate, we hope, will spare (General (irantand Admiral Fnriagut In tho matter ot testHying to the funny doings of that Chicago escapade, ft Mr. Seward can tell all that is necessary, and more, too, concerning It. With Mr. Johnson's removal General Grant will probably, by law, be at once promoted to his place, and, if ft special election be ordered in the fall, will un questionably bo chosen by tho people to fill up the Interval'to the 4th of March, 1809. Other wise, under tbe existing law. the President of the Sciate will bo transferred to the Wh'te House, subject to the issue ot a special Presi dential election. The proeramme la simple and easy, as pro vided in tbe Constitution; and when thus finally reduced to the sovereign authority of Congress, the Rebel Slates will have no alter native but to submit, as other Slates and peoples have done, through tho last five or six thousand years, to the necessities ol their situation, and to the issues of a conflict of their own chrositur. Meantime the pending Constitutional Amendment will soon be duly ratified to make it part of the supreme law of the land; and tlicn, whether the outside Htates have accepted or rejected it, they must obey It all the same. All the fuss that we hear ot panic, blood, and thunder, as sure to come with John sou's removal, 1" only that Chinese cltmor of pongs and horrible dragons which neeer stand fire. Ileorgnnl .atlnn of the Civil Service Mr. Jtuikcn' Ulll. From the Ttmei. The only objection we have seen urged against Mr. Jenckes' bill for the reorganization ot the civil service is predicated upon the alleged cen tralizing tendencies of the scheme. ''We rhall have more bureaus," it is said, "more commis sioners, more consolidation ol authority." No objection could be offered less justly applicable to.the case. In all that pertains to the appoint ment of those who arc known as "inferior offi cers," the present system is the ne p.us ultra of centralisation. Practically the whole appoint ing power is wielded by the Executive, who exercises it arburaiily, without a pretense of responsibility, and with a habitual mdiilcreuce to the requirements ot the public service, or the qualitications tor efficiency ot the persons ap pointed. There can be no greater centralization than this none more demoralizdu: In its influence, or more likely to inmre the prostitjtiou of the Government patro.iage to party cuds. Under the plan pioposed, the appointing power will remain in the hands ot the Executive, and to this extent, it may be argued, the evil ot con solidated authority will continue. But the present temptation to an abuse of the authority will no lonuer exist. Theie will be no induce ment to remove the army of subordinate office holders because they are' politically obnoxious, when their successors must he crio.sen Irom a elass selected with exclusive reference to th-' qualitications of ability and character, regard less of party affinities. For nil partisan pur poses the appoiuiiim power will be destroyed. It will be restricted to vacaucies arising legiti mately, and will be confined within such nar row limits that the partisan use of patronage will cease. And what new danger to free government can be traced in the creation of a Bo trd of three Commissioners, charged with tho duty ot pro nouncing judgment upon the relative capacity and tPness ot those w ho may desire to enter the Government service? "More bureaus" is the cry. But the constant growth oi the business ot the Government, consequent upon the mar vellous development ot the country's crea'ness, demands more anil more the sub-division of governmental labor. In the days of Jefferson, the heads of the Departments might have found time to constitute themselves a Board of Hx aminers, and in this character might have scru tinized the merits of applicants for office. Tiie idea would now be preposterous. And as the exigencies ot the service have uecei-sitated special commissions of inquiry concerning the revenue, so now they necessitate the formation of a bOHrd to provide the means of reiorniintr the personnel of the Departments. By what other agency wou'd it be possible to conduct the examination proposed? It none ele be possible without withdrawing the atten tion of the departmental heads irom urgent and every day duties, it lollows that we must either accept the means provided by Mr. Jenckes' bill, or abandon tbe scheme of competitive examina tions and the selection of appointees Horn lists ot properly qualiiied individuals. The alterna tive will not be entertained save by those who make the creation of a new Beard a pretext for opposing the vast ref'oi m that lies beyond. Except within defined limits, the new Board will be poweiless. They will be able neither to aismis nor to appoint. Their jurisdiction will extend no further than the arrangement of the subiects over which the examination for the various grades will ranue, and the ir-uing cer tucntes to ihose who may prove themselves wottby of official employment. The task, is not easy, nor tbe responsibility trifling. But cer tainly there is nothing iu it that should frighten honest advocates of the decentralizing theory. Mr. Herbert Spencer would hardly object to a change intended to purge the Departments from partisanship, and secure the appointment of capable, trustworthy men to office. The florin Is not one that may be effected without hard lanor. we are aware. Party virtue has not attained to the standard of sublime selt- sacritice which In ordinary circumstances would be implied by tbe pa-saue of this mea- Mire. Ordinarily, moreover, it would bo almost i impossible tor any paity to legislate with a view to the wholesale purwicaiion of the civil service system, in a manner that would not incur an Imputation ot sinister motives. Whatever the purpose, it would be cbareed that the enact ment of tests ot fitness was simply an excuse tor : tbe removal of partisan adversaries. Now, how- I ever, the btate ot political and party ailairs is peculiarly favorable to the consideration of the subject on its merits. Removal and appoint ments foim one of the grounds of difference be tween the Presinent and Coueress. The autho rity of the Capitol finds itself at issue with the authority ot the White House and the Depart ments on this very subject. Here. then, is a method by which this particu lar difference may be overcome.not only without just cau-e of oileuse to either side, but with manliest advantage to the country. It cannot be alleged tnat there is an invasion of the Presi dent's authority all that is proposed Is the restraining of Us exercise.in the interest of the public. On this basis, a combination ot parties seems feasible, since neither is asked to make an immediate 6unender of power or profit. The Kepublican majority, at any rate, owe this re form to the country, and should no longer delay its pasture. With a single stroke, they may prevent the continuance of abuses and irrievHriei nf which i be v roin'ilaiu. divest Gov ernment employment of the discredit that uttaches to it, and establish a system which will combine a larce reduc.lon of expenditure with a decree of eUicieucy at present unknown to any branch of the civil service. Passage of the Tariff BUI. i' om the World (t ree Truth). The bill of abominations which has just passed the Senate.ls the same Tariff bill which passod the House the last session, so altered by multi tudinous amendments as to make it, in many particulars, more unjust and oppressive than the original. We hope that the amendments may be concurred in, aud that tho bill, in its present hideous shape, may become a law. From tbe now ascertained views of tho two Houses, we are certain to have a high and oppressive tariff anyhow, and the best thing to be hoped is that absurdity may so overleap itself as to hasten tbe inevitable, the overwhelm ing reaction. Instead ol a bill to increase the revenue, It ought to have b?en entitled a bill to blockade our own portf. We are practising upon our selves, in tiniM of peace, wnat we inflicted on the South the stern applinnce of war. The beauties and benrtim ol complete "protection perfection, but it is not generally sapposed to have enriched the Southern people. Its only ellect was to produce universal distress, it curried tip prices several hundred per cent, for the benefit of blockade-runners and the rickety manu'acttires it forced into a sickly existence. We know that it may be said that the crippling effects of the blockade were owing to the desti tution of established manufactures, and that t nty years of protection previous to the war would have tendered the blockade harmless. But the real ellect of that kind of protection would have been to stunt the growth of the South, so that instead ot holding oat four jcars. It could not have maintained the war tour months. It the South had possessed power to hem itself aiound with the voluntary blockade ol a protec tive taiifl lor twenty years before tbe war, and had used that power, the effect would have been 1 to divert a large portion of its capital and 1 industry into manufactures. Instead of grow ing rich and powerful by the sale of cotton, its i sericulture would have languished; lor Its deficient capital did not suffice for both pur suits, and, having to buy abroad, tho South i would have no motive to raise anythina to sell. The greatest want of a new country, for its rapid development, is the use of capital; and this Is generally furnished by older communities, not in tbe shape of money, but ot goods sold on credit. The South, by purchasing its goods in this way instead of mauuincturing them, was 1 alw ays In the use ot larae amonts of capital not Its own, which enabled it, in the absence of immigration, and in spite of a bad labor system, to grow up to prodigious strength. Had the South manufactured its own goods, it would have lacked this aid and stimulus, and its nroeiess would have been feeble. All the surplus motey it could save or borrow it de voted to tne construction of railroads, and it w as chiefly by Hie aid of these and a well-developed agriculture that the South was enabled to baifle so lrngthe mightiest armies ever raised lor purposes of invasion. It the South had built lactones Instead ot railroads, it could not have resisted the Noith for a single campaign. The rapidity with which it could transler troops on interior lines, to meet us at every threatened point, multiplied the Southern soldiers. The Southern armies could have been fed so long as they were, on.y in a country givcu up to agriculture. When the catastrophe at last came, it was cKiefly by want of food and the wearing out ct tbe' railroads. It is clear, then, that the free. ! trade policy of the Sou' h was wise, even as an element ol inilitaiy srrength; and fact have demonstrated that the blockade, which eavc ' that set tion four years of complete protection to "home industry," was something very differ ent from blessing. And yet our sace legisla tors at Wasliitigton are aiming to blockade our our own ports, and distress our own people, by n nieiliOd who.-e practical eUect must be the . sail e as a treat cordon ot blockading squadrons. Protection i a well-souiidins word, ar.d we tu o willing to concede that the thing it properly sieiiiiies is the otly Icritiinafe object of govern- i n, cut. Government owe protection, not to the niniiuiiieturcrs uieicly, but to every clasa of cm.eiis ai d to every individual. It i sacredly bound to protect each and all against injustice and wrong, against the lapacity which would ' inipoverisn a part ot the community by tra.,s- i leirinir t lit ir earnii gs or their property without compensation to others. But w hat in common pr.jlancojis called "i rotec ion" is a form of rob bery. bo is it that asks tor protection ? Who are the men that nil the lobbies and besiege the committees of Congress to clamor lor high ' duties? it is not the people; not anybody de puted by them to express their wishes; but the greedy mnnutctureis and their well-paid agents. Ami what do the e cormorants ass to be pro tected ofjitnst '! is it against oppression by the conjiiiimm '! Oh, no! Against injustice? Again ; no. Atanist takiug away their piotietty to give. ! to others? Sull li.e same no. Whsit then ? ' Vby, anainu low prices they want to be pro tected against low prices, and agaiust nothing el-e. But to whom are low pr.ces an evil ? To the rnpaci' us manufacturers only. To all the rest ot the community, low pn. es are an ndvan tavie and a blessing. The sole object of the spe cies ot robbiry mi-named protection is to keep up cr carry up price's that is, v prevent all consumers from Lctring as m.my goods for the same money as they would if trade were left free. The manufacturers being con fes-edly unable to makeguodsaselieaply asthey can b'iuiported, having con:essedly gone into unprofitable blanches of business, have the Impudence to ask that other people shall be compelled nrake up their losses. And this leeal robbery of some to reward the bail management ot others is called protection ! We should prefer to see the laborets of the country protected in their right to the free use of their wages, ami against the unjust compulsion to pay more chaii goods are worth because a few rich owners of factories would suffer by low prices. The slavery which we have abolished took irom the negroes all tlieir earniuas beond a bore subsistence, aud pave the surplus to their master; but the tariff transfers tbe sjstem to the North, and takes the earnings ol the while laborers to give to a few Republican magnate.--.
