THE NEW YORK TIIES3. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OP THK LEADING JOUBNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. 0OMPILKD BTBBT Pit rOB IT1MRQ TKL&URAFH. . Financial Hysterica. From the TVtoime. ' The Government of the United States owes In all the round sum of $2,643,340,748, over and above the nam of $142,423,791, which It held on the 1st lust., whereof $97,354,603 were coin. Wc can imngtne no tound reason for holding..ao largo a reserve, at a cost to our heavily taxed people of several millions per annum. Our course would be to resume specie payment not ly-and-by, nor soon, but now this very day. Xho Treasury owes $430,163,803 payable on de jnand about thrice the amount of Its cash on hand a little over four times the amount of its coin. Its credit is so good that our banks have deposited nearly twenty millions In gold In its aults, taklnp therefor certificates that draw no interest. Now we maintain that the banks of this country were never so able to maintain epecte pavment us the Treasury is to-day. Let U simply reume, thereby effacing the distinction between local-tender ana coin, an i evince a steadfast purpose to fight it ou$ on that line, and it has nothing to fear. A largo share of Its greenbacks are held by banks, to whom they will tben be equal to gold, while they need every one of them as a reserve for the current redemption of their own issues. Let the Trea sury resume, and thereupon receive greenbacks as gold, and there will be no serious demand for gold; iorthe consequent falling off in im portations will check the demand for specie to pay balances to Europe. We need not contract we may even allow $100,000,000 more ot national bank notes to be issued to new banks located in the South.wherc there are now tew or none. Our bonds held in Europe would be held all the firmer and at higher prices if word was Bashed along the cable that the United States, deeming them selves solvent, had resumed specie payments. And, as the greenbacks would still be a legal tender, no solvent bauk need be troubled about resumption. Every ereenback held on the Pacific slope and in the Bocky Mountains will be better than gold irom the moment that we resume. But if we are not to resume, then let us sell our surplus gold, and thus reduce our debt at least oue hundred million. If we do not mean to use it, why hoard H? Lotus have some good out of it, oue way or another. Thi Proposed Compromise The Presi dent's Position. Trnni the JHmen. The compromise plan concoDted by Messrs. Orr, Sharkey, and other Southern (iovernors, with the reported concurrence of the Presi dent, finds no (avor North or South. The few Southern journals that have been heard from on the subject tall back upon their ' honor" as itn obstacle to any concession. "It is not for us to make offers," they say in the language of the Richmond Whig; and they will hear of none made In their behalf. The Northern Demo cratic press, with few exceptions, are silent. The Union journals, on the contrary, are prompt and positive In their judgment. The Spring field Republican stands aloue in wishing "suc cess to the new movement.'' Others recognize its significance as a sign of receding irom the SOhltiun hitherto obstinately held by the South; ut beyond this, and apart irom the Republican, not a single organ of the Union party has pub lished a syllabic in its favor. Tuey are united in support ot the Congressional amendment, entire, as the minimum requirement to be en forced; and they are equally pronounced m their declarations ot want of couiideuce in the authors of the new scheme. This view will certainly not be weakened by the shape in which the plan has been intro duced to the Senate by Mr. Dixon. As origi nally published, its first section wai an explicit denial ot the right of a State to withdraw from the Union. This seems to have been too niucu lor the Southern gentlemen who have under taken to adjust existing ditlerenees; they have evidently considered thbt the south is not pre pared to renounce its heresy; for the amend ment, as introduced by Mr. Dixon, omits the repudiation of secevion altogether, and merely declares that "the Union, under the Constitu tion, shall be perpetual." A Constitutional amendment is not needed to determine this. The Union armies decided it in their rough but conclusive way, and the votes of the Southern legislatures would not add a particle of strength to the decision. Not what the propo sition affirms, but what it omits, is, in tnis in stance, the noticeable point; and we apprehend that the striking out of all that was expressive in the original wording of the section, will be considered evidence of the untrustwortbiness of the 6ource Irom which the plan has emanated. The considerations set forth by Mr. Dixon 'will not help his case. His preamble recites the non-ratincation of the amendment by the 8outh, and that "there is reason to believe" that this new plan would fare differently; ami therefore Congress is asked to accept the sub stitute. But the argument is defective the conclusion unwarrantable. The retusal of the Southern States to accept terms tendered them in a good spirit aad good faith, is assuredly not a reason for admntiug them on conditions they may choose to propose. The converse ot the proposition would be more nearly correct. ' Because the South refuses to uive the very Moderate guarantees which have been sub mitted to It. ihereloie itie North may properly insist upon these guarantees, or others of a stronger character. This is the light in which the matter Is viewed by the people ot the Mates composing the Gov ernment, aud Mr. Dixon may spare himself the trouble of attempting to chance their determina tion. The debatable question is, whether the plan adopted by Congress shall be adhered to and euforced as the lull basis of adjustment, or whether other measures of a more radical nature shall be employed to complete the work of re construction. Tho desire of the South to regu late afiuirs according to its own taste ruav intlueuce Mr. Dixon, but its only effect apon Congress and the people of the North will be to render them more resolute in their demands, buch. a determination may seem harsh to tbose who will sutler from its exercise, but after all it is neither surprising nor inherenilv unjust. The tact that President Johnson has been concerned in the preparation ot Mr. Dlxou's substitute renders his position in regard to the amendment extremely weak and anomalous. Alttiouffh untenable, his course has hitherto beeu intelligible. He objected to the amend ment on the pl"a that Congress has no authority to exact conditions antecedent to restoration. And he denied the etlicacy ot the amendment under auy circumstances, because propos'ua.by a Congress in which tbe South i not repre sented. Now. however, bis petition is alto gether altered. As a party to the Dixon amend ment, he concedes the propriety and legitimacy of the action of Congress in the premises vu tuallv admitting pretensions he previously dis puted, nnd the fitness of a policy he before . m i , ... . . : .1... .. , . r, I ii in I in resisteo. ine miupiBiiuu ui iuc mucnuuiuu. suit the South does not affect the argument. The principle involved is the stine, and bis opposition to the ameudii.ent becomes as unin telligible as it is indefensible, when he sustains Mr Dixon's compromise. Haviuff in effect abandoned his old position, why should Mr. Johnson refuse to accept the amendment, and to urge It upon the Southern eentlemen who take counsol with hunr Ihe Irreat ditlerence between the amendment aud fhc nronosed sub-titute relates to the exclusion of Rebels from office. To the North this dif ference is vital: nothing can avert or overcome t But it has uo benriiig upon the principle for THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, which the President has contended, and fur nishes no excuse for continued hostility to the Coiigresnlonal measure. As the caso at present stands, Mr. Johnson and his irlonds wk to set aside the amendment simply andsolely because it Imposes upon Rebels the mild disability of exclusion Irom place nd power. Mr. Johnson cannot Ions maiutsin this attitude be must go forward until he reach the position held by Congress and the countrv, or backward until he come into accord with the Democracy and the South, in opposition to all amendments. The eround he now stands upon will not sustain his weight. "The Social Evil" The Governing Evil. From the World. Some clever writer, perhaps It was Arch bishop Whately, once compared the way in which, for a long time, a man may carry around in bis head two completely irreconcilable sets of Ideas without once discovering their hostile relations, to the incident of two contending armies in Scotland silently encamping within a few rods of each other In the midst of an im penetrable fog. What the tun did that day, we hope to do for the beclouded columns of tho Tribune, and, when its conflicting ideas are dis closed to each other, to let them fight it out as best they may. A bill is now before the Legislature which proposes to subject to regular medical inspec tion the women who make sale of their persons. Tne 'inlmne sets down two objections to its passage one sophistical, the other earnest and radical. Its sophistical objection is, that to regulate prostitution by medical police is to legalize prostitution. But the liquor law, advo cated by the tribune, both lor reasons of morals and for reasons ot revenue, regulates the sale ot liquor; does it theielore legalize drunken ness? The two cases are precisely similar; but the Tribune's notions about the oue and about the other are precisely antagonistic. We leave them to contend with each other. Neither can exist it the other survives. But the 'Iribune makes this further objection, which is radical and fundamental: "Ihe object of regulation is to lesseu the chances of iniection ot disease: and we would not have them lessened. On the contrary, we hold it desirable that it should be renuered absolutely certain that everyman who visited a house of ill-fame would there be smitten with an incura ble and fatal leprosy. It is the cuauce ot escape unharmed that stimulates lechery aud multi plies libertines. Were certain and speedy death the notorious penalty, tho iran-gressors would be low indeed. But the idea ot securing men against ihe natural results ol their own vices is not merely immoral, it is a sli-er illulou." Human societies the world over, aud even here, wnere fewer things were committed to Government to do than elsewhere, have, never theless, cbarecd Governments with so much more than their siugle legitimate fuuetion the administration ot the law, i. c, the common organized force to prevent tlie doing of injustice by one citizen aeraiust auother that men have 'Mime to rety, lor the rectification of any great evil upou these artificial auu clumsy creatures ot theirs; whereby their own selt-rcliaut ener gies, and their confidence in the simple lorcti of the social oruauism (not first contrived at Paris, London, Philadelphia, or Albany), uuve become enfeebled with disuse. It may, therefore, as a practieal matter, be for a time necessary to the iningatiou 01 great and admitted evils, that these substitutes, so long as they arc substitutes, should be put to some good use. If tbe Government must, for a time yet, be misused to deprive ineu of their right to use their faculties as they please, and their right (o exclianee the property acquired by such use with whom and lor 'what they please; if the Government must continue still to be misused to legalize plundering and spolia tion by protective tariffs, then surely govern ments might lor a while be used to circumscribe the ravages of tho worst ut human dise.mes. It is in this sense, and with the hope of get ting the best results out of a police system unavoidable as a whole, ihat wo have lately pressed the mitigation of the worst conse quences of ttoe Bocial evil upon tho izttent on of our Aloauy legislators. They meddle much; let them not always mar. Governments everywhere charge themselves with supervision of the relations of the sexes. Tne philosophy which permits tnein to ordain a lvil sanction to tbe noblest of those relations must be brutal, indeed, if It shall refuse police regulation to mitiuare the worst of tliwse rela tions. And if it be true that nothing less than the unsofteued consequences of their own errors can teach men to lorsake them, those conse quences must lollow upon the erring individual himself to have their proper aiscipliuary result. But, says the Tribune: "Even the lite-blood of intancy is tainted and filled with the seeds of aeony and death Dy diseases engendered by lust. The innocent sutler with tbe guilty." In what way uoes the Iribune propose to have the inherited suffenuits of the second and third generations administer their lessons to tuose who have paid the last penalty lor the vice which transmitted them? But there is a gleam of misapplied truth in the 2 ribwie's doctrine. It is that wuich looks not to government machinery, but to the natu j ral forces ot the social organism, tor the means , or human progrers. In tne social organism, i liberty is life. The Creator did not blunder in i framing men as social beings. Human society I is not a failure, whatever human coverntnents may be, here and elsewhere. The social forces ' are so constituted by the Creator of them, that I they won and develop harmoniously in the air of liberty, aud man reaches a nobler stature in every succeeding century because ot tbe fact. 1 The hindrances to this free growth are chiedy those of government, which here aud there has, doubtless, proauceU some handsome results, but thereby acquires no better title to operate out of its narrow sphere ot guarding person, liberty, and property, thau a gardener who has trimmed a hawthorn bush into the likeness of Napoleon, or contrived to force a blush into the heart ot a camelia, would have to erect himself into the lawgiver aud controller of the vege table kingdom. Men have not yet commis sioned these hot-house gentlemen to prescribe the crops of the alotve, and ordain fashions to tbe flora, and heats to tho atmosphere of tbe temperate and tropic zones; but the social organism, which is quite as well able to endure its native air or liberty, they have subjected to universal and disastrous tinkeriLg. Ot the tinkeis the Tribune is aoiousr the most devoted. Protective tarlil's are the tools with, which it conceives thai uaMoual industry can be Hammered into vigorous lue. A liquor law is ihe lettsb which it wovships as capable to pvtii ncte drunkenness (as it society could rterive from government any more torce than it puts into eoverumeut), like the Hindoo who wor ships the very clay while he is moulding it into the shape ot an execrable god. Butwbitothe Tribune proclaims Us reliance epon disease as th nni. .iiMb unon lechf-rv, and a latal aad incurable leprcsy as the best possible check, It refuses to rely upon small profits or no profits as a suitable means oi diverting men from un profitaole ocupatioi.s or bankruptcy us tne oest check upon misguided enter prise. It has couhdence in the capacitv of the Ame rican people to discover the mad to health aud happiness among those fatal piiiulls; It lias no confidence in their capuciiy to discover the road towealtn and prosperity anions: these wrecks aud failures. It believes that uo police can "secure men aualnst tbe natural results of their own vices," but has a blind confidence In the capacity of a t;oneress io secure peouio irom me natural results of their ou industrial inistaKes. The one attemot it stigmatizes as Immoral and a sheor illusion; the othrr it lauds as pure and enliuhteued patriotism. it the fog is no lifted from these two conflict ing sets of notions, v. liese hostility the Tribune seems never to have suspected, we shall be gld lo be informed which whips. .

ANDREW JOHNSON STFREOSCOFI CALLV VIKWKD. To lh Editor of th Evtning Telegraph: Slr; Andrew Johnson was no stranger to the politician who nominated him. HI fuoe was Ion familiar In the National Assembly. HI abilities, 'his politics, his habits, were fully understood by those who placed hlra before the people for the exalted position he now holds. And If he has disappointed us they are respon Bible. We well remember how heartily we cast our ballot for as they taught us to believe Honest Andy. We confess to great disap pointment. We would not think of voting for him again, even for Mayor. He has good points of character, but is not calculated to give dignity to tbe positiou nor harmony to the popular elements. It should be to those elec tion managers a wholesome lesaon for the future. In the meantime, weshould be an amia ble as possible over our folly, aud show our wisdom by making the best of it. We propose to view our subject impartially not with the contracted eyes of a partiHuu. but with the even scales of a llboral ludgmout. We would open an uccouut with him, debtor and creditor, and strike the balaneo according to the strict rule of Justice. No easy task thin, we confess, Prejudice bus been the blind hatter to truth throughout all history. We remember how it bent tho stubborn knees of old Coper- uiuiiH, auu jorccu nun lo recant a gruvu couvle- tlon "uw H luTueu iiai vey. linprlsoncu rsio- vena, burnt heretics at tho stalce. mid hung men and women in Boston for wearing drab and funnel bonnets. It is still rampiuii, bar ring truth, shutting out the light, drugging baelc the ear of progress, and blowing tu.t dying oinLers of mi expiring sectionalism, which has loo long dlNtraeleu our country. Wo would rather err iu liberality thau pau.ler to such a spirit. Wo h;i ve watched the progress of this quarrel bciwt on the 1 'resident and bis old friends with much cure, and have arrived ut this conclusion: In the beginning he meant well. He lias been limited into his present obstinacy by deter mined enemies in the camp; and hi.s unguarded tongue la the rope with wliioli tliey have exe cuted him politically. Early, fSumnor scanned the situation, humour Is Phillips rellected with incrtaseu focus from the Senatorial telescope, lie saw that Andrew Johnson was lobe a bur ner to indiscriminate suff rage, and form wli h proceeded to pour out his vials of wrath upon him. In the laee of astonished Henatorx he de clared the l'reideul"l whilvwuxher oj 'secession," und wui sorely rebuked by them. It was a trick ol tho wily Abolitionist to head oft' old Tt'iiiicrssee, aud was successful, uo doubt, be yond thu inoNt sanguine calculation. Tho 1'iesldent waxed hot, with wrath, and popped his head luto the noose most obediently. This win on the I'M of February , lHOo. Iu the pro Hence or u huge assemblage lie, in passion, kicked the beam ol political respectability, Ills last words being "doud duck." Jiis unguurduu tongue has done more to de stroy his popularity lu;.n nil tile Congressional pack t getlier. It has out-iStuveiiud .Stevens, und made opponents by the score. That unl'ortunalo speech, in which lie stooped from his uugust position to bandy epilliets with his oppotmuls, iiuil Ills unpremeditated extempore in his ineinoiable pilgrimage lo the ui.'ivo of Douglas, old more to nentruli.n hi.s slule-.m mslilp thuii all his enemies could nave done in years of wordy buttle. In coulerring 1). I), on Forney lie lost his title to respect, trom those who elevated him to power. Iet all future Presi dents udopt silence for tiieir motto it ihey would enjoy an easy couch. As lo the seiiliment of this lirst pugilistic sot to, we nre ruther with Johnson, with his quali fied huUriigu, limn with buiimcr. We would like to see universal sutl'. uga when we are ready lorlt. We hope lo live to enjoy this glorious cuiiniuniiou of political reform; but wo kuow ltiioianco Is a tyrant, most, unjust to its own vniurieM, and the very bane of tho ballot.. This was fully proven in me hue struggle. For ibirty years past it has given us worlhiess paper lor cuneocy lusteud ol a confiding uuliouul gold lcprettcnlative. Prudence tells us to lulio warn ing Irom the pusl.und beware how Wo tnrow our "pearls before awine." The President has clearly disappointed his friends; but, to "give the Devil his due," lie lias, iu thu past, deserved well of bis country In its most trying hour. We remember mm us Sena tor, when lieasou raised its slimy cresi iu tno SScuutO. How he fueed the tuusiu, aud sinotu witi. keeu lebuke the arcli-tr.uiorsof nis own MiiihV South. How. at the eloso of that ex citing coulibt, he journeyed through the North, mousing the lelhuigic populucu lo their daugur. How. when tbe lioi dor (Slates hung trembling in the scale, he flew lo the post of dangor, uud lor lour trying years beat buck the maddened lurios of secession. The Judgment of ull loyal men up lo tills time was that, next to Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson was most deserving of honor at their hands. "Plow has tho mighty fallen!" Strange meta morphosis. Ho is to-day the most unpopular mini iu public; and defiant majorities rido rough-shod over Ins vetoes, as a sort of Con gressional recreatiou. Had he cultivuled un unliable deportment, he might have retained much of his popularity, una rendered hurmlcss ho thrusts oi his designing enemies. Doubtless tlie President is egotistic, dogmatic, stubborn, Impetuous, unguarded; but wecanuot relieve him u traitor, or in Improper sympathy w ith Ihe enemies of ids country. Honestly, we hink he has proved his patriotism ubovo sus picion; uud credit should be given him iu making up our balance-sheet. Would wo impeach? No. "Why waste our ammunition on a dead duck1!" We would not exchange our irying-pan lor iho tire. Were we Andrew Johnson, we would pray without ceas ,ng for iiiipeuchment. It would be his oppor luuily. We can conceive how eminent und ubltt counsel could add a new pugo to ttio volume of our national eloquence In tho defense of such a case, the woilii Holding breath less attention lo every utterance. Aoquittul would In ull probability follow; aud tho great Union parly that bono oi progress would slugger under the effects of its own lolly. Iu power lor good would be perilled, and the deiunct corpse of Democracy that urch-eneuiy ol progress might start afresh from the grave to winch a tried patriotism bus consigned it. Phillips, ISumiier, uud lieecher ure all, doubt less, well-meaning men. They have their hob bies, aud bluck ones they ure; and they chooso lo riue them, without eieii L. hiiiLern. or com pass, iuio tho unsurveyed luuue, reckless of consequences, (shall wo mount Ouhiud uud do likewise? This is uotlhe plaUorm ol our party. W e preler llsteiilug to the udinonilions of ex perience, und to exercise, ut least, a llUlo of the cauilon vouchsnied to us by nature. V e can recognize u flaw In our own weh. We think it iho height oi bigotry to assent lo every rdict of our purty. What party, either iu fcluto or Church, was ever perfect, aud void of prejudice? .Majorities run iuto lyrauuy as lreely us water luns down hill. Wo should bo ever awake to the temlencieaof human nature. 1 he President may have too much ohai lty for nebcin. His opponents may err on the other cxlieme. We would choose a middle ground, on which both recohhlruclioii and reconcilia tion could bu consummated. To sec urn ihe oue without tho oihcr, would bo like a molisli ut tempt to reur a house or stone without the liecessury ccuiout with which to render it en during. We w ould not Justify tho president in his per vtisencss, but w duro to credit him lor the goud deeds of the puHl for tho faithful spirit wun which he strove to Have Hie Union irom .. wuiiipooi oi sueessioh.
