THE HEW XOIlK .rRES3.. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF TIIX LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. TOXril.tV STSBT PAT FOB 1T1MKO TKLSORATM. Military Rule at the South. from the Ifation. Mr. Stevens' providing for the military ovcrnmeut of tlio South, whatever its ulti gate fate may be, has met with enough appro val, loth from Congress and from the country; to show that tho eyes of the public are gradu ally opening to tho extent of tin? blunder which was committed when the power not only of suspending the habros corpus but of restoring it was handed over to the resident. This tvas done, It is true, in the heat and excite ment of the first years of tho war, but it was supported with a profusion of argument by two of three of the first lawyers in tho coun try. The inexpediency and danger of the thing were bo plain, that tho least doubt about the legality of it ought to Lave prevented its Mii done; no such power, we believe we may .'ifely Hay, was ever given to a single man in any country which made any pretensions to Ietree. Not only was the power of making arbitrary arrests conceded to tho President, lut ho was declared competent to decide when be should assume it and how long be should retain it. Even in Rome the Legislature determined whether a dictatorship bad become necessary and bow long it should last. In England) from which we have inherited nearly all our notions of civil liberty, Parliament alone can suspend the habeas corpus, and in suspending it, it always fixes the date at which the sus pension shall end. Of the technical arguments ly which Mr. Lincoln's assumption of power was justified, we say nothing. Had they been twice as strong, they ought not to have had the least weight with the people. The ques tion who should exercise the right of suspend ing the writ and who should decide when it ought to be restored, as long as it was not ex pressly settled by the Constitution, was a political and not a legal question, and ought to have been decided on political and not on legal grounds. It is just one of those ques tions on which a lawyer's judgment is no lietter than any other man's. All history and all experience of human nature provo that no man is fit for the exercise of any such autho rity. Mr. Lincoln was as nearly lit as anybody ever was, or perhaps ever will be, but even in lus hands it was abused. Mr. Lincoln, too, iras mortal, and was sure to have successors of whose character and aims nothing could be known. He has gone, and his successor is in his place, and is armed with all his extraordinary powers, and is using them in such a way as to Justify nearly every argument that was put forward four years ago against granting them. The power of restoring the habeas corpus he has used to restore the operation of the civil law in districts in which the civil law Is a mockery and a snare, in which neither judges nor sheriffs afford the slightest protec tion for life and property, and in which the United States laws are treated with just as much contempt as if the Rebellion was still Xaging. The power of declaring the Rebellion at an end be has used to hand over tho Uov rrmnent of the whole conquered territory to the Rebels themselves, without giving Con gress any time to decide what disposition should be made of it, or what legislation was jiecesbary for the preservation of peace and tranquillity. We do not use the words "con quered territory" in any technical sense; we fcimply speak of the fact that the territory lately occupied by tho government of the Ro lellion was when the war was over in the bands of the Federal forces, and subject, there fore, to the will of Congress, whose duty it vas to reorganize civil government in it, and to preserve order in the meantime. We maintain now, as we maintained a year ago, that it was the business of CongresH to suspend the habeas corpus, and that it is em phatically its business also to say when it shall Je restored; tliat Mr. Johnson bad no more right to declare the war over than be has to declare war or make treaties, of peace. It is Ins duty to report facts to say to Congress that the fighting had ceased, that the enemy liad fled or laid down bis arms; but the legal inferences from this it belongs to Congress to draw. A war is not over until the treaty of peaee is signea. vur war lias been legally de cided to be, and was, a regular territorial war; and, if so, Mr. Johnson had no more right to declare it concluded and act accordingly than if it had been a war with Great Britain. The war with the South is not ended, no matter by what name it may be called, until the Senate lias ratified a treaty of peace, or until, if there le no power with whom to make such a treaty, Congress has provided for the government of the conquered territory. Moreover, it is now generally recognized that it belongs to Con gress to suspend the habeas corpus. It also Ixdong to Congress to restore it, so that tho J'lesident's proclamations on this subject ought to I treated as so much waste paper. Personal liberty is too sacred a thing to be taken away on one man's dictum; but if taken away in the interest of the public safety, the irabiio safety is too sacred a thing for one man to be allowed to decide how long the depriva tion shall last. If questions of this sort ought not to be submitted to tho legislative body. nothing- need be' submitted to them, and the work of government might be all done by the rre.ident and Ins tawnet. It is not too late for Congress to reassert Us Jurisdiction over this whole question. Mr, .Stevens' bill is the first step in this direction, and it is a necessary step. Mr. Jiuot s is another... The Southern Governments cannot 1 reorganized in a wroper manner unless the Southern States are subject to the control of the United States forces. XNO election oruereu l.v Congress could be fairly conducted unless th ' Federal troops were authorized to protect voters ana muniuuu oruer. imj itui ui "6': looklnc- to reorganization or reconstruction can be effective as long as its execution is left 1 the local authorities, to marshals, judges. and Sheriffs who all sympathize w ith, if they do not aid in, all attempts to resist or frustrate the. law. ', Moreover, tho protection of life and rroierty, in all districts in which war or any nodal convulsion whatever has rendered the mirts powerless, is the first duty of a govern mcnt. Hint duty Consress is bound to do until society shall Jiave settled down into" its normal condition. The assertion that military law is not allowable as long' as the courts are open is, when applied to the (south, a transpa rnt fallacy.' It manea no oiuvrence. jn political sense, whether judges sit or not, as Jong as they do not do Justice. A court; is not simply a man seated on a bench listening to ' areuments. It is a man interpreting the laws f,.r or favor, aud armed by the com jaunity with power to carry bis decisions into THE DAILY EVENING TELEGIIATII. PHILADELPHIA,' SATURDAY, execution. If this definition be correct, there are no courts open at the South, and if there 1m? no courts there is no civil law and no police. All the talk which we havo h ard in defense of Mr. Johnson's views on this point are so much sophistry, sophistry which would bring discredit on a tavern debating club. There may Ik? objections to Mr. Stevens' bill. It may give a color of support to a theory which wo at the s'orth might some day find highly inconvenient. - But the preamble is a small matter. The main thing is to save Southern society, which the present state of things is rapidly barbarizing, and will very soon break up. Wo hear a good deal of the blow which the spectaclo of military rule at the South will give to civil liberty at the North and elsewhere; but we know of no state of things so dangerous to liberty, so well calculated to bring free government into con tempt, as a state of things in which the con stitutional forms are nsed to cover just such tyranny as the Turks exercise over the rayahs, in which trial by jury is used to promote the denial of justice, and in which judicial decisions on points of law are simply expres sions of popular passion, and in which, the sheriffs and police are in active sympathy with the law-breakers. There is no worse enemy of temperance than a drinking temperance lecturer; there is no worse enemy of religion than a dissolute professor of religion; and there is no worse enemy of free government than a country in which, the forms which were framed for tho protection of weakness and of innocence and of freedom, are used to protect robbers, murderers, false witnesses, and op pressors from the consequences of their crimes. This is the state of things which exists at the South, and it is with this state of things that our Government, In the interest of free dom and democracy, is called upon to deal. Reconstruction cannot be effected in a day. It is a knotty, troublesome business, to be con sidered carefully, debated thoroughly, and faithfully carried out. Let Congress take all needful time for it, but in the meantime let us have protection for life and property and free speech. No man ought to lie down under the United States flag in terror of anything which police and soldiers can prevent. Mr. Stevens' bill proposes, curiously enough, to pass the President over and impose the duty on Gene ral Grant, a little device which shows what a crooked condition the minds of some of the leaders are in. No bill can relieve the Presi dent of the duty of executing the orders of Congress in any matter requiring tho interven "tion of a military force ; and so far from seek ing to relieve him of it, those who want to have him tried ought to seek, by every means in their power, to bring him face to face with tho sharp test of a positive and clear injunc tion to do something. Should he disoley, there would then be a plain case against him. Hardly any of the objections made to Mr. Stevens' bill apply to Mr. Eliot's. The latter only proposes military rule ad interim. It makes the army subordi nate to the civil power. It provides for recon struction in regular form at a certain fixed period not very remote, asserts the power of Congress over the whole question, and pro hibits all political distinctions based on race or color; and though last, not least, prescribes a certain course of action for the President. He must either obey or disobey. If he obeys, all is well. If he disobeys, let him bo at once im peached at all hazards. Tht Financial Legislation, of Congress. Frnm the Times. We shall probably get through the present Congress with less foolish and damaging legis lation on the subject of the finances than there has been reason to fear. There is no likeli hood now of the introduction of any new measures of importance ; and most of the measures that liave been proposed with the object of changing the present course of tilings will get the go-by. There is certainly reason to congratulate the country in this respect ; for when we observe the countless variety of contradictory opinions that prevail among members, and when we consider the selfish in terests that would be promoted by the suoeess of some of the schemes, and when, at the same time, we reflect upon the necessity of something like fixedness in our financial policy, we are compelled to consider it as fortunate, on the whole, that things have been let alone, though by this means some valuable reforms may have been postponed. . When we have mentioned Mr. Randall's scheme for the alolitiou of the National Bank currency, Mr. Griunell's scheme to prohibit contraction by the retiring of four millions per month of legal tenders, the scheme to compel the public sale of Treasury gold, ana the scheme to provide for the substitution of loau certificates in place of the compound-interest notes, we have collated all the projects that really come to anything, and all but one of these have already come to . nothing. The Anti-Bank Currency bill was not the least pernicious of these projects, and though it was urged for some time with great noise and snow, anu though it had many plausible rea sons m us lavor, yet its damaging effects upon the business .of .tho country and upou the stability ot financial arrangements were too paipaoio ana immediate to permit the bill to acquire any strength.- bevond that which was lost in its birth. The Gold bill went so far as to pass the House, but it was imme diately buried in tho Senate, from which it gives no sign or resurrection; and we suspect that none but the speculators feel any erief at its loss. The anti-contraction resolution, which' passed the House, ana which, In its terms, only looked to prohibiting any reduction of the outstanding greenbacks "during the cur rent year," has in like manner sunk to obli vion in the Senate. The action of the House on this question during the present session is one of the most curious things in financial legislation, and is enough to justify the plea sure we have expressed that so few of the fluctuating fancies of members have passed through Congress and been enacted into laws. For the resolution prohibiting Secretary McCulloch from withdrawing any part of tho legal-tender currency which passed the House on the 4th of February, by a majority oi twenty, was esseutially tho name resolution which tho wisdom of the same body rejected On tho 17th of Deceiiilx-r by a majority" of thirty.. The fol low in u is the resolution introduced on Decem ber 17, and which was tabled on motion of Mr Morrill: r '. 4 ' "Resolved, That the Committee on Banking anu t;urrency be Instructed to report a bin pre venting, lor some temporary period, the lur ther withdrawal ot legal-tender currency," And tho following are the resolutions on the pame point adopted on the 5th instant, though Mr. Morrill, in like manner, moved that they also be tabled: . , ' , : -Resolved, That tbe publlo Interest demands that there shall not during the current year be any Reduction of the amount of outstanding United States, commonly called greenbacks. "Resolved, That the Committee on Ways and Means be Instructed to report suju bill as may be necessary to effect this objeot." I Was there anything In the 'financial "state"of the Government, in the condition of the coun try, or in the requirements of business, to produce this marvellous change in the action of the House in such a rery short space Of timet Or was the action in tbe one osso as accidental and thoughtless, and as much a matter of management and fortune, as It was in the other f However It may I in this In stance, there Is certainly a good deal of wise legislation brought about in this way. We have little doubt, for example, that had Con gress had the report of Mr. an Dyck's exami nation concerning the sales of gold in this market before it at tbe opening of tho session, the action of the House on the Gold bill would not have lwon precisely as recorded. And the fate which this bill, as well as other financial bills, has met In the Senate, shows bow fortunate it is that our Constitution lias created another legislative body to revise the measures of the House. Each of the three schemes which we have named w as in opposition to the views and de sires of our distinguished Secretary of the Treasury not tho least of whoso "merits Is that he Is severely conservative in his finan cial Idea's. The last measure we have indi catedthat for replacing tho compound in terest notes by loan certificates is the only one before Congress which tho Secretary has favored, as it is the only one which has a rros- eet of being enacted into a law. We believe that men holding the most diverse views as to inflation or contraction concede the measure to be not indiscreet, and to be at all events practi cally necessary. It tomes out, therefore, aflef all that has leen said or proposed on the subject In Con gress and elsewhere, that Secretary McCulloch will be left virtually free to carry on his great Department as he has done for the last year or two. WTe have no doubt that he feels measura bly comfortable over tho fact. He will be able to work peacefully, profitably, advantageously, and successfully for the strengthening of the country's finances and the improvement of its credit. Ashley and the Progressof Impeachment. JTromlht Herald. According to our advices from Washington, Ashley and bis colleagues have by no' means managed tbe preliminaries for tho impeach ment of President Johnson in the wisest wav. So far they seem to have evinced neither skill nor knowledge in "working up" the case. On the contrary, they have resorted, we tinder- stand, to expedients of more than doubtful propriety. If, as it is alleged, they have selected the notorious Detective Baker as their chief agent, and charged him specially with hunting up private material for accusations against the President, we shall be warranted in suggesting that they might find a still more convenient tool tor their purposes 111 Santord Conover, who convicted himself of perjury, and whose case is now up before the Supreme Court, in the Judiciary Committee conspiracy so fully exposed by the Herald Conover could as readily fabricate any amount of false testimony required against Andy Jolmson as against Jeff Davis, when the latter was charged with complicity in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Conover might swear to attested copies of tho letters which it is said that Ashley and his friends have insinuated were written during the Rebellion by Mr. Johnson to Mr. Davis. Con over might even write the original letters him self if Mr. Ashley preferred these to copies. The fact is that all this is a miserably small way of attaining the object proposed. An entire collection of the private letters written by Mr. Johnson before he became the occupant of the White House would be utterly imma terial and irrelevant.' The real ground for impeachment must rest solely on the public conduc t of Mr. Johnson as the successor of President Lincoln. We have contended, and we still contend, that the assumption of legislative powers by the President of the United States forms a suf ficient basis for impeachment. President John son possessed no more authority to reconstruct the South according to a plan of Ids own inven tion, to dictate terms of restoration to the seceded States, to appoint Governors, or, briefly, in any other way to ' usurp the func tion's of Congress in the work of reviving the Union, than he has now to admit Colorado and Nebraska without the consent of Congress. General Dix, in his speoch at the opening of the National Union Convention at Philadel phia, acknowledged that in calling on the Gout-derated States to accept certain conditions for their readmission as members of the Union, the President liad acted "not in pursuance of any constitutional powers." If the President himself bad acknowledged this when Congress reassembled, and if be had gracefully yielded to itsj opposition to his illegal if well-intended attempts at reconstruction, he would have exhibited more tact and less obstinacy. , He would have spared himself and the country the disagreeable and dancrerous com plications -which ensued and are still Impend ing, lie might have seized an early opportu nity to escape from . the consequences of his mistaken action. Even now it is not too late for liim to recoirnize his error and to find a happy issue out of bis difficulties. . Why should ho blindly dash bis bead against the threatening wall of impeachment? Why not oien bis eyes to the actual situation and master it by heroic statesmanship? A few rapid and vigorous flank movements might then surprise, disconcert, and -annihilate all such pititul opponents as Ashley and his con federates will appear to be if they persist in the underhanded intrigues attributed to them. If, 011 the other hand, the President obsti nately persists in opposing the national will as represented in Congress, and if he usurps Legislative powers, he must, as the Constitu tion provides, be impeached, aud, on convic tion, removed. And if Ashley, with the help of Baker or Conover, mismanages the prelimi naries of impeachment, let him be set aside for some one Who knows how to act in a more dis creet and dignified manner. The National JVont the World. Bank Couiblnatlou. When Secretary Chaso and bis friends organized the National Bank system, we opposed it for several reasons. We claimed that it was an extravagant and 0110-sided sys tem, granting to the banks unusual privileges and profits for which they cave no equivalent; and that it would become a tremendous politi cal machine, which would ere long make itself ieit at me expense of the community, and control the legislation of tho country upon all quesuuna auecung us material interests. Already we see our predictions verified in every important particular. The national banks are paying enormous dividends, which are, for the most part, taken directly from the pockets of the people; and we see the very first attempt that has yet been made to curtail these privileges in a fair way of being smoth ered out under the united efforts of the banks to oppose it. There are two propositions now before. Congress which directly affect the national banks, and which have called forth the united efforts of those institutions in favor of the one and iu opposition to the other. The first Is Mr. Randall's bill, which pro poses to cancel the national lnk circulation, and Issue legal-tender notes in place of it. This would Impart uniformity to our currency, and save the Government "about twenty mil lions of dollars annually. The only objection to It Is that it would take this twenty millions from the national banks, w hich consequently oppose the proposition, with every pronjiect of success. The other measure is to fund the compound-interest notes falling due during the coming year Into certificates of indebtedness, liearing three or four per cent. Interest, paya ble on demand In legal tenders, whioh may be held by tho national banks as a reserve fund for the" redemption of their notes aud deposits. Tills plan was proposed and is now urged by Hip national banking Interest, and, if passed, will inflict additional burdens on the tsx- layers, and give additional profits to the innks. The national banks are required by law to retain in their possession an amount of legal currency equal to at least twenty-five percent, of tho total amount of their circulation. The Intention of the law evidently was to require the banks to keep this reserve on hand in plain legal tondcrs; yet the banks have, up to the pivsent time, been permuted to make use of compound-interest notes and clearing bouse certificates for this purpose, and thus draw interest on the reserve as well as on their circulation. The payment by the Government of the compound-interest notes thus held, would oblige the banks to replace them with plain legal tenders, upon which they would luaKe no interest, llence the plan to Issue certificates bearing interest, exchangable into greenbacks on demand, and available for clearing-house purposes. Viewed in this light, this proposition reveals the most barefaced attempt yet made to increase the revenues of the banks at the expense of the public. The amount of these notes notes falling due this year is estimated at $100,000,000. If legal tenders are issued in payment of them the Government will make the interest, and tjie reserve of the banks will consist of what the law intended it should, and what common sense demands. If, on the other hand, the lour per cent, cortincate system be adopted. the banks will as heretofore be adding to their already inordinate profits four millions of dol lars in the shape of, interest on these certifi cates. The objection that issuing legal teuders w ill expand the currency is shown to be futile from tho fact that the compound-interest notes, although not in circulation, yet stand as cur rency by being held In reserve by the banks As a matter of course, upon their cancellation an equal amount of legal tenders will have to be retained by the banks, so that no inflation can ensue. Moreover, by the terms of the proposed act, the certificates are exchangeable into currency on demand ; so that, if the ne cessity should arise or the convenience of the banks should require it, . the Goveriimeut would lie obliged to pay greenbacks for them. l he only question is whether the people or tbe banks shall have the benefit of the interest. ' " It is a matter of twenty-four millions of dol lars per annum to . the taxpayers, yet the national bank influence at Wasliingtou Is so strong that both of these questions will proba bly be decided in lavor ol the banks and against the people. If these institutions are already powerful enough to control tho legisla tion of the country on all questions affecting their interests, what may we not expect when they shall have had an opportunity to organize themselves for an aggressive warfare upon the rights of the people ? We protest against tho continuance of this system as being needlessly extravagant, and as tending to build up a gigantic financial and political oligarchy which will ere long assume to control the politics of the country; and we sincerely trust that Con gress will not permit Itself to lie made a party to such a flagrant piece of injustice and extra vagance as these banks are now endeavoring to foist upon the country. Mexico. From the Tribune. - It has been for some time 110 sec ret that the relations between Maximilian of Mexico and Louis Napoleon bad altogether ceased to be friendly.i Maximilian bad been . selected by Louis Napoleon as a tool for ca rrying out what be regarded as one of the very best Napoleonic ideas, the restoration of monarch ism In Latin America. Long did the French Emperor refuse to admit that the Mexican expedition, instead of being the brightest ' page, in the history' of his rule, was a miserable failure; but when at length a further denial of its failure became Impossible, themortificationieltby the Emperor turned to a largo extent upon the unsuccess ful agent who had been selected to carry out the plan. . The diplomatic correspondence on Mexico between the Governments of France and the United States was full of hints at which Maximilian must havo felt profoundly indignant; and if the repeated and concurrent reiorts from many generally weM-informed Mexican correspondents deserve any credit, Marslial Bazaine has of late used to Maxi milian a tone of outrageous arrogance. . It was not to be expected that Maximilian should tacitly submit to this domineering con duct. ; .We have repeatedly had indications that Maximilian either had given or would give vent to tho feelings which tho conduct of the French Emperor could not fail to pro duce. But the most important statement which we have as yet had of his feeling towards France, is an account given by the London Times of a circular which the Imperial Government of Mexico is said to have ad dressed to its diplomatic agents abroad. The statement of the Times charges Louis Napo leon with having withheld from Maximilian that moral support which the latter had a right to expect. 'Hie issue of such a circular had been mentioned before in our reports from Mexico, but the account in the Tunes is the fullest which has yet been given. How far this correspondent had tho moans to acquaint himself with the contents of the cir cular we do not know, but there are strong reasons for supposing that documents of this kind have been. issued from the Imperialist Government of Mexico, and that Maximilian contemplates the publication of other docu ments which will lie anything but pleasuig to Louis Napoleon. ; Maximilian has very good reasons for com plaining of the duplicity of Louis Napoleon, but tho latter is undoubtedly right when he identifies the Withdrawal of the French tnxps with the collapse 01 the lmneruu ruie ni Mexico. The despatches we published yester day morning leave no doubt that the last days of Mexican Imperialism are rapidly approach in"'. Alvarea is in the vicinity of tho City of Mexico, and either he or Porfirio Diaz is likely to occupy it immediately alter the departure of the last French troops, which was to take place on the 14th. We may havo a few more sen sation despatche about pretended victories of the Imperialist armies; but there Is 110 risk,, We lielieve, in predicting that if the Mexican empire should at all survive the embarkation of the French troops, its further existence w ill be measured not by months but by days.
