THE NEW YORK PRESS. 2DITORIAX OPINIONS OF THR IKADrNfJ JOURNALS pros CURRKNT TOPIOH COMPILED EVERY DAT FOR TUB BVEMKO TELEGRAPH. I Anarchlet. jtn Reconstruction and lmjittcnmcui. prom the Timet. Hvon as it is, the Reconstruction bill is not Oatififactory to the organ of Mr. Wendell Plxil Jipa. It is "btill fundamentally wrong," says Uio Anti-Slavery Standard. . Why 1 "It will aettl. nothing doflultoly. It extends nn oppoptunlly to tlie people of the rebellious dlslrioU to organize as loyal Slate an oppor tunity they have ail along had, but havecboseu to mlHlmprove. It Is a mutter that should not ho left optional with them." - The Southern people should suck comfort from the objection. For tho moment, the matter is "optional with them." And by a prompt use of the opportunity, they may miti pate the harshness of military rule, and have the benefit of participation in the reorganiza tion of their State Governments. If the Legis latures neglect the chance, citizens who are ot legislators will profit by it, and the pro wcriptive policy of Tennessee and Missouri will XUOHt likely be adopted. But whatever may be done under the new . plan, the Standard insists upon the impeach ment and deposition (in advance of trial) of the President: "Whether this bill shall become a law or otherwise, two things are Imperative: Ttieflrst js tho Impeachment and deposition of Andrew Johnson. The second Is an amendment to the federal Constitution guaranteeing suffrage to all loyal citizens throughout the Union." The second of these demands is approved ly many not belonging to the anarchical fichool. Consistently moderate journals of the Springfield Republican stamp have steadily urged tho guarantee of impartial suffrage by Constitutional amendment. The probability 5s, however, that the privileges of "all loyal citizens" will be amply secured by the pro visions of State Constitutions framed subject to ratification by the universal negro vote. The danger is that, under the pretense of pro tecting "all loyal citizens," a sweeping dis franchisement may be enacted. To avert this "we would have the South proceed at once to comply with the requirements of the measure. The Standard is not alone in its demand for the removal o f the President. The Independent is, if possible, in a still greater hurry. Thus it raves: "Congress sets the army to governing the South; but does Congress know who Is at the Jiead of the army ? Andrew Johnson ! The re moval of the President, therefore, becomes ln nlantly necessary to the safety of the republic. Xethlni be impeached forthwith 1 Let him be jiut outof the way without furtner coquetry 1" That's the genuine revolutionary style. Tho President is in the way; let him be forthwith thrust aside ! What does the Constitution amount to in this emergency r The removal of the President is "instantly necessary," and must not be delayed by constitutional provi sions as to trial, or by legal provisions as to evidence. There may be no evidence, or the evidence adduced may be akin to that hunted up by the Wentworth "smelling committee." Nevertheless, Andrew Johnson 'must be "im peached forthwith." Nay, more: he must be "put out of the way without further co quetry." Right or wrong constitutionally or otherwise by perjury if not by lawful testi monyby fraud and usurpation, if all other agencies fail he must be "put out of the way." He blocks the game of the confiscators and anarchists the hypocritical Independents and the cold-blooded Wendell Phillipses and cannot be permitted to remain where he is. The sober sense of the Union party revolts against this outrageous violence. The Presi dent stands in an unfortunate relation to the party, but that is not a reason for hunting him lown with the blind ferocity of bloodhounds. "We think, as the great majority of the party think, that he has erred; but error of judg menteven obstinacy of opinion is not an impeachable offense, still less an offense to be visited with the savagery of a revolutionary junta. If the slightest excuse can be found hy Mr. Boutwell, we shall hear quite enough about impeachment. But in any case it is a matter for judicial investigation, to be con ducted calmly, dispassionately, and with a Strict regard for constitutional forms not to le determined off-hand by the Marats, Dan tons, and Robespierres of the Independent and Anti-Slavery Standard. Latest from Mexico The Final Throes of Maximilian's Umpire. fYom the Herald. Intelligence from Vera Cruz to the 24tu ultimo lias been received by steamer at New Orleans. It is to the effect that communica tion with the city of Mexico is entirely cut off, and that the greatest consternation prevails all over the country among the Imperialists. The Liberals hold all the important lines. The Trench troops and foreigners were leaving as fast as possible and it was believed that Maxi milian would leave soon, perhaps witmn ten days. At all events, from present appear ances, the departure from the capital of the last instalment of the French troops has been or will be the last gasp of the empire left to "the will of the Mexican people." According to our latest accounts, gathered from various sources, including our own special correspondent in Mexico, it appears that on the 2'id of January Juarez and his Cabinet were hospitably entertained by the authorities and citizens of Zacatecas. n the morning of the 27th the Imperialist General Miramon, with two thousand live hundred troops, including five hundred French, at tacked General Auza, who was defending Za catecas with a garrison of two thousand "Libe rals. The latter were routed, with a loss of about two hundred and fifty, Miramon losing about the same. One account states that no Liberal prisoners were taken, nor were any kind of arms captured by Miramon. As to Juarez's whereabouts during the tight accounts are conflicting, one, and probably the most reliable, statin; that lie left while the troops were fighting in the streets, and another that lie had left three days before Miramon's arri val. The Liberal army reached Jerez on the 28th. On the 31st Kscobedo was witlun twenty-five leagues of Zacatecas with three thousand eight hundred men, and General Auza was marching to join him with twelve hundred men. and Cadena with five hundred more. Ou'the same day, after levying a forced loan of a hundred thousand dollars on the lnhabi tants of Zacatecas, Miramon left the place, one account says to meet and surprise hscobedo, and another to make a forced march on Aguas Calientes. Whatever may have been his purpose, it is certain that on the 1st of Feb ruary he encountered the division of Kscobedo at the hacienda of San Jacinto, about midway between Zacatecas and San Luis, and giving battle, was himself surprised by the appearance f General Trevino, with a large force of Liberals, who had taken the Fresnillo road, in his rear. The result was that Miramon's forces were almost annihilated. All the Im perialist trains, Including twenty-five pieces of THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, oannon and fifteen hundred prisoners, among whom were three brothers of Miramon, the latter himself narrowly escaping, were cap tured. About forty thousand dollars another account says a much larger sum part of Miramon's Zacatecas levy, was also seized by the Liberals. The remnant of Miramon's army was lieoing in all directions, with Tre vino and Martinez and a strong cavalry force in hot pursuit. Miramon arrived at Aguas Calientes on the night of the 1st of February, accompanied by only ten ollicors. The importance of this defeat of Miramon will be understood with a very few words of explanation. . The several columns of Liberals from the North were moving down upon tho city of Mexico, widely separated; and it bo happened that one of the weakost in numbers was that which had advanced to Zacatecas, having Juarez, President of tho republic, in its charge. Miramon's game, by a rapid march, was to surprise this column and capture Juarez. The only recognizod head and embodi ment of the republic being thus in his hands, Miramon, in behalf of Maximilian, doubless calculated that dissensions and demoralizations would soon place the scattered Liberal forces at his mercy. His desperate dash was very much like that of the Rebel General Early upon Washington in the summer of 18l!4, for the capture of President Lincoln, while General Grant, with the Army of the Potomac, was investing Petersburg and Richmond. That move resulted in the complete destruction of Karly's army; and Miramon, from a similar desperate experiment, as the last chance to save a hopeless cause, has suffered the same fate. Juarez would march immediately for Mexico via Guanajuata, which place was captured on the 27th of January, with many prisoners, and all the artillery, munitions of war. and baggage. From another source we have the report of the capture, on the 2d of February, of the imperial garrison of Colima, also the official report of the capture of Tehuantepec and Cuemavaca. There are also oilier reports of Liberal successes, coupled with accounts of the disaffection of Imperialist troops sent from other points to the city of Mexico, eigTit hun dred men from the garrison of Puebla alone having pronounced lor the republic. A bri gade of eight hundred men, on their way from Toluca to reinforce Mexico, were completely cut up by the Liberals on the 7th iostant at the pass of Monte do las Cruces. Putting any coloring we please upon these reports, there is abundant evidence to prove that the Liberal cause in Mexico is on the high way of triumphant success; and we would not be surprised to hear at any moment that Jua rez is permanently installed in the halls of the Montezumas, and that the unfortunate Maxi milian has left the country and abandoned his imperial aspirations upon Mexican soil forever; or that he has been cut off, run down, and captured, like the Rebel General Lee, in post poning his departure too long. The Slaughter of the Tariff. From the Tribune. The Tariff bill is dead. Killed in the House of its friends. It would now seem to be but a reasonable supplement to this job to repeal the Internal Revenue bill; at least, so far as it operates on our manufacturing industry. We have taxed all sorts of manufactures to such a degree that we have placed them at a disad vantage with foreign manufactures. That is to say, our manufacturers of many articles are worse off, as things now are, than they would be if the duty on foreign fabrics of the same sort that they make were all taken off, and they were at liberty to compete with the foreign article freed from all internal taxation. It has been shown over and over again, on the recent investigation of the Tariff question, that the protection the manufacturer gets by the duty imposed on the foreign article, is in many instances more than oflset by the tax he is compelled to pay. Actual free trade would thus be better for him titan the existing ar rangement of duty on one side and tax on the other. One great object in the present Tariff has been to restore the old equilibrium by re moving this disability. That is to say, to ad vance duties sufficiently to give the manu facturer the same protection that he had before he was taxed. The most reasonable and necessary legisla tion to prevent the decline of our internal revenue through the stoppage of our manu factories, and keep our industry in motion, is now defeated. And unless our manufacturers thus situated are not, only able to compete with the foreign producer on equal terms, but with the advantage all on the side of their rivals, then they must stop. As to their ability to do this, it is not difficult to judge. Not only are they unable to do it, but the manufacturers of no nation would be expected to do it. No insane demand to attempt it would be made by any nation in the world of its manufacturing industry. It is left to us to set the wise and statesmanlike example of a legislation contrived to extinguish the mechanical industry of the country. And now what is to be expected from it ? You delibe rately crush your manufactures. They fall, and with them departs the revenue tax imposed upon their products a tax which now fills tho Treasury, and without which it must lose its ability to discharge its obligations. What else f Why, the widespread general calamity which must follow such a stoppage is to overspread the country. You break down interests with millions of capital invested, you prostrate hard-working, industrious communities, you create distress, you scatter ruin on every hand, you arrest national progress and national development. It is the old story. You stab to the heart the growing interests and influ ences which would give life, and animation, and vigor, and prosperity to the whole coun try. And it is done at the instance and under the inspiration of foreign capital and foreign free trade notions, imported for the benefit of foreigners. What wretched folly, what in comprehensible short-sightedness 1 The na tion is staggering under the load of unnum bered obligations, piled on its back by the war, needing every prop of support and every resource ot supply ingenuity can devise or develop. And yet, with its wants visible to every eye, with its claims pressing upon the moral sense of every legislator, we find a suf ficient number of the representatives of the people at Washington ready and even eager to inflict the blow which brings it to the ground. The debate in the House on Thursday did not turn upon the provisions of the bill, but upon the possibility of passing any bill this ses sion. Mr. Morrill moved to discharge the Committee of the Whole for tho purpose of bringipg the bill to a vote, and in the discus sion which followed Mr. Schenck intimated that the President would veto it, while Mr. Allison alleged that he had no factious opposi tion to the bill, but voted against the motion. On this test vote the motion, which required two-thirda to pass, was defeated by 105 yeas to 64 nays. Mr. Stevens then moved to discharge the Committee of the Whole, and to concur with the Senate, with the amendments already passed by the House, and an additional concession to the wool interest. Thus all the amendments of the Committee on Ways and Means not acted upon would bo abandoned. Tho Houso refused to adopt this motion, by 102 yeas to tlfl nays. A joint resolution was then offered by Mr. Morrill, Imposing an additional duty of 20 per cent, of tho duty now paid upon all goods, with certain specified ex ceptions, which was lost, by 4 to 80. Tho House also rejected, by IK) yeas to 64 nays, a joint resolution offered by Mr. Kasson in regard to wool. After these decisive votes no further effort will be made in this Congress to pass the bill. It died in the arms of its friends, who, in quarrelling about the means of cure, experi mented till they killed tho patient. If the oien, and still more the covert enemies of tho bill, escape tho retribution they deserve, wo do not mean it shall be for want of exposure. They shall have full credit for the mischief they have wrought, for the loss that is to fall upon the country by reason of their hostility or treachery; for the delay, every day of which takes the bread out of the mouths of working men; for the closed mills; for their ruined owners; for the arrested development of manu factures; and for the blow they have aimed at the life of American industry. The New Hampshire Campaign. From the World. The election in New Hampshire takes place a week from next Tuesday, and both parties are making strenuous efforts to win the day, As regards previous success the radicals start with a slight advantage, having elected their candidate for Governor last year by the meagre majority of 4G56 out of a total yote of G5,o':iti. It is plain, from these figures, that it requires a change of only 282!) votes, or one vote in twenty-eight, to carry the State for the Demo crats. On the other hand, the Democracy have in Hon. John G. Sinclair a popular candi date for Governor, and a man whose personal character is above reproach, in which respect he stands head and shoulders above his opponent, Walter Harriuian. There are strange stories in circulation concerning Harriman, which, if true, stamp him as the last man in the State to hold office. For his sake, wo trust they are untrue, but it Is seldom that reports derogatory to a man's Eersonal character are circulated without some asis, be it never so slight. Probably few in dividuals in public life were so obnoxious to the radicals as General McClellan and Gover nor Horatio Seymour, yet, amid all the parti san slanders uttered against them, ono may search in vain for one word impugning their private character. General Harriman, how ever, does not fare so well, and, in this re spect, is not so strong a candidate as his oppo nent. Moreover, like most of the loudest mouthed radicals, he is a renegade Demoorat. So late as 1861 he made a flaming speech be fore the New Hampsliire State Democratic Convention, in. which he denounced the radi cals in as bitter terms as he could command, eulogized the Democratic party, and to it pledged his life-long support, quoting the words of Ruth to Naomi: "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following alter thee; for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou loclgest, I will loci He; thy people shall be my people, and thy Clod my God; where thou dlest will I die, and mere will I be burled; the Lord do so to me, and more also, If aught but death part tbeeand me." Yet two years later he appeared before tlVe public as a full-blown radical, a candidate for any office that might be bestowed upon him. Mr. Sinclair, on the contrary, has been a con sistent Democrat from the start. During the war he aided the Government to put down tho Rebellion, though opposed to tho policy of the then existing Administration; and now that the war is over he is found still supporting the Government in every effort to heal the breach that war had made, and restore the Union in fact as well as in name. Advices from New Hampshire state that the Democrats are working vigorously and hope to wipe out the radical majority of last year, certainly to reduce it very materially. The few days that remain before election should lie studiously improved. A conservative vic tory in the old Granite State cannot but have a wholesome influence on the other States that hold their elections this spring, and mayhap stem the tide of radicalism which threatens to engulf the country in general ruin. Art at the Capitol. The New York Tribune of yesterday contains an admirable Washington letter, which dis cusses the much-admired paintings at the Capitol. Those of our readers who have had the delight of gazing upon these works of art, will be able to appreciate the justice of the critique: In this same rotunda hangs a mysterious picture called "Lashed to the Mast." "We took it to be Casabianca, in a most uncomfortable and awkward attitude, only to be pardoned on the supposition that the burning deck, whence all but him have fled, singed his feet beyond endurance; and as an expression of the agonies of suffering, the picture seemed a good thing enough. But it is not safe to trust one's intui tions. The work is historic, indeed, but it turns out to be Farragut at Mobile, and, as honest Dogberry would have it, "It is proved villanous, and will go nigh to be thought so shortly." t On the left of the old House, as you pass through to the new hall, sits the gigantic apparition called "Liberty," and designed by Mr. Crawford for the adornment of tho dome. This monstrous shape if shape it may be called, that shape has none distinguishable in member, joint, or limb is so preternaturally hideous that the portrait busts on the other side of tho cham ber do not obtain their meed of dispraise. Here are Reverdy Johnson, Thaddeus Stevens, Governor Morehead, Horace Greeley, and Schuyler Colfax, each of which is more un natural and uncomfortable than the other. In deed, the only cheerful, not to say rollicking, object in the chamber is the "Dying Tecum seh," who in the moment of dissolution may be supposed to be unconscious of the execrable shapes around him a consolation not per mitted to the other images, nor to the beholders. (By-the-by, perhaps gazing upon each other has petrified them all into such Gorgon-like ghasthuess.) It was wise in Congress to fence these in, that they might never escape into the world, and though the railing is very snaooy, n una me went oi nt ness. But the mottoes over the doors have been postponed. Above one is to be written "Who enters here leaves hope behind." Over the other, "Hail, horrors, hail !" They were selected by the Committee on Frauds, which naturally has charge of this chamber, and by the Committee on Public Instruction in the District of Ctriumbia. Up another broad range of steps (which we expected, for, sings the poet, "the heights by greatness reached, and kept, were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their com panions slept, were toiling upward" ) at the top of which, covering the wjiole space, is Emanuel Leutze's fresco, "Westward the course of empire takes its way." Gazing over the railing at this extraordinary spectacle, one's comments are twain. First: "How big!" and second, 4 'how funny 1 " At first glance it looks like the drowned world coming to the surface after the flood, in such a confused condition of mind as would account for the oxen being driven up perpendicular rocks, and the cart's balancing on the tailboard, as well as for the very curious colors of the vegetation, which might be ex plained 1 the chemical action of water, but upon no other hypothesis. There aro beau tiful cherry -colored, and blue,' and pink, and brown clouds in this sky, much prettier than anything we have ever seen in nature, and there are very soft rocks, and very smooth precipices, and mountain heights built of rectaugles ot damp brown sana, ana a procession larger man tuat wnicn went into the ark, going in one direction which doesn't seem west but, of course, the phalanx must le Kmpire on its way. The horned oxen are a quarter of an inch behind the baby, the carts tilt over on the flanks of the oxen, the emigrants have their noses in the cart, the dog treads on the heels of tho emigrants, the horses are in dan ger of crushing the dog, another army wagon rests on the tails of the horses, and so on indefinitely, like the nursery jingle, tho water began to quench the fire, the fire began to burn the stick, the stick began to beat the dog, the dog began to bite the kid, the kid began to go. On the topmost rectangle wliich com pletes the mountain, a man attempts to sustain himself above the quicksand which threatens to engulf him, while his companion hands him the American flag. Imagine Mr. Leutze making nn American picture without that persecuted bunting ! It is his delicatest symbol of nationality, and he paints it for a signboard everywhere. Very properly, the emigrants pay no sort of attention to this lunatic on the height. They see that if he lulls he can't hurt himself on such tender rocks, and they are quite busy enough in finding a trail which will avoid the extraor dinary pillars of vapor In tho distance (hot springs) and the ominous yellow pastures new wliich open before them, and look like the firos of the Underwolrd, though some body says that that is HI Dorado and this huddle is the passing of the Sierra Nevada. The effect of the picture is that of the Berlin wool-work wliich young ladies achieve, where "four blue, with black centre stitch" is the formula for the tender eyes of "Isaac at Re bekah'a well," and "black, twelve in a line. four up, five down," conveys prophecies of luxuriant, it square, tresses. This painting is infinitely comforting. It is such a settlement of dreary doubts to know that never, even in the gallery of sculpture, can there be any thing so theatrical, pretentious, and un meaning. It is such a relief to have touched bottom. "".. jj pi rv yo.. RnM hv nil rlmorrrlats ot t1 nor rtrtttln PRINCIPAL DEPOT. KROMER'B. No. 403CHESNUT Street. Philadelphia, Fa, No. 1101 CH1SSN UT Mlreet.
