President Jghmon Illuuderlng Again.
Vom the Herald.
President Johnson, with the passage of the
policy of Congress over his vetoes, we had con
cluded would trouble the country no more
with his exploded policy of Southern recon
struction. We have taken it for granted, from
liis recognition of these laws and from hts
Satisfactory appointments under them, that he
Lad made up his mind to see them "faithfully
executed," and there would be no further
conflict between him and Congress on the sub
ject. It seems, however, that while holding
out this idea as long as Congress was in ses
sion, he was all the time meditating a resump
tion of hostilities, and that now, with Congress
out of the way till July, he has resolved at
once to make up his case.
Within the lat few days, it appears, there
have been considerable accessions of Southern
politicians in Washington who still adhere to
the President's policy, and who still think it
may possibly be resuscitated and established
ly the Supreme Court of the United States.
These men, it appears, have prepared a peti
tion, numerously signed, addressed to Chief
Justice Chase and the AssociateJJustices of he
Supreme Court, praying for an injunction
against General l'ope, commander of the
Third Military District of the South, com
prising the States of Georgia, Florida,
and Alabama, and also against Andrew
Johnson, a citizen of Tennessee and Presi
dent of the United States, restraining
them from taking any action in enforcing
the laws of reconstruction enacted by
Congress until the question of their constitu
tionality shall be tried and settled in their
favor by said Supreme Court. It is given out
that this petition is to be presented to the
Court (now in session) before the end of this
Week; that eminent counsel have been em
ployed by the petitioners; and that if their
prayer be rejected on the ground that the
Court has no original jurisdiction in such a
case, or if they withhold their petition on this
ground, the petitioners will proceed to get up
a case in Alexandria, Va., before Judge Under
wood, in order to make an appeal from his
district to the Supreme Court. Indeed, they
are reported to be working up such a case in
Alexandria at the present time, and President
Johnson (backed by his Attorney-General
Stanbery) is said to be the prime leade r in
all these movements.
We have reason to believe these reports
Substantially true. These Southern leading
Johnson politicians in Washington would
hardly, at this late hour of the day, proceed
to such a scheme as this, of a hurried appeal
to the Supreme Court, without some invita
tion or encouragement from the White House.
It would be downright stupidity on their part
to move in the matter even of getting up this
petition or this Alexandria case, without first
consulting and getting the advice and consent
of Mr. Johnson as the President, and as their
friend. Mr. Johnson is, therefore, the respon
sible party for these proceedings, which aim,
if possible, to secure in the absence of Con
gress a decision from the Supreme Court, de
claring all these lately enacted laws of South
ern4reG0nstruction unconstitutional, null, and
Void.
Upon the late Milligan decision and one or
two other recent judgments of the same kid
ney, there is a pretty good'foundation for the
presumption that as politicians and partisans
the President has five of the members of the
Supreme Court against four in favor of Con
gress. Mr. Johnson quoted freely from these
foresaid decisions in making up the argu
ments of some of his late veto messages. If a
case, therefore, could be brought before this
Court and a full bench before July, involving
the constitutionality of these vetoed bills, it is
possible that they might on a party division,
five to four, be pronounced null and void.
"What then ? Why then Pandemonium would
he jlet loose, and discord and confusion
dire would prevail over the length and
treadth of the land. There appears no pro
liability, however, that the case suggested can
be worked up before the reassembling of Con
gress, or that in the interval a full bench of
the Supreme Court could be mustered even u
the appeal contemplated should be brought
in. There are one or two invalid members of
the old Democratic Taney school who must not
he overlooked in these nice, calculations.
Assuming, therefore, that all these schemes
for defeating Congress through a snap judg
ment from the Supreme Court are moonshine
and green cheese, what will be the conse
quences of these proposed experiments ? The
mere announcement of such projected legal
proceedings under the advice, connivance, or
consent of the President, will operate to check
the work of reconstruction so promisingly
commenced in the South, and will result in
another Northern reaction against him and his
political supporters. In this thing Mr. Johnson
13 blundering again he is furnishing new
capital to the Northern radicals, and is doing
exactly what they want in delaying and con
fusing the work of Southern reconstruction
and restoration. The longer the excluded
States remain excluded by their own and the
President a tolly, as their chief adviser, the
better will it serve the political game of the
radicals. Moreover, he is strengthening the
impeachment party before the impeachment
committee in these movements to bring about
a conflict in his behalf between the Supreme
Court and Congress.
If there were any chances, or a single pro
mising chance for a judgment from the Court
against Congress and its measures of Southern
reorganization in the interval to July, the
experiment indicated would still be full of
danger and inevitably ruinous to the lixcu
tive, the Court, and all concerned; but as there
is. no prospect for this thing, Mr. Johnson
would do well at once to give it up. If he de-
Sires to avoid the ordeal of impeachment in
July, he will at once abandon, suspend, and
discountenance all these factious lerral pro
ceedings, which only serve the purposes of the
radicals, and to revive Mr. Seward's warnine
Of last September on that melancholy Chicago
pilgrimage, that "we must take Andrew Jolin-
son as President or King."
Will vniei Justice Chase Do Ilia Duty
- - - .wii:uuiiai t
'from th Herald. , ,
There appear to be some Indications that
Chief Justice Chase has takn the question of
impeachment in his own case into serious con
sideration. It is now intimated that he may
appoint the officers under the mw Bankrupt
law which the law enjoins upon him, though
Jie endeavored to avoid that duty, it la also

fail to do liis duty by putting off the trial of

approaches, we shall ftel it our duty to urge
his impeachment; for then he would be clearly
guilty of an impeachable offense.
The Reconstruction Art Scheme to Teat
Ita CoiistUiitiouallty.
FVrrni the Timet.
' The Southern opponents of the Military
Reconstruction law are represented as actively
engaged in an effort to defeat its operation
through the intervention of the Supreme
Court. It is said that an application is to bo
made for an injunction restraining the Presi
dent and military commanders from enforcing
the act, on the ground that it is unconstitu
tional, and therefore void. Should legal diffi
culties prevent the adoption of this courso, the
parties to the proceeding will await a case
which is being made up in Virginia, and which
will be brought in regular form through the
District Court of that State. In one form or
another according to a statement in the
World the natter is to 1m subjected to the
scrutiny of the Supreme Court; seven of the 1
ten unrecognized Southern Executives having :
given their consent to the proceeding, which
unreconstructed Southerners have individu
ally originated.
Jn whatever shape the appeal may be pre- 1
sented, and whatever be its immediate result
whether, as is probable, the Supreme Court
refuses to interfere with the law because it is
strictly political in its nature, or wnether, as
is hoped by Uebel politicians, it renders a de
cision favorable to their views we regard the
movement as impolitic, and fraught with mis
chief to the now excluded States. Mr. Roverdy
Johnson, than whom in legal questions there
are few higher authorities, lias expressed the
opinion that the Court has no original juris
diction in the case. An early decision, or a
decision in advance of the complete operation
of the law, is, therefore, to say the least, ex
tremely unlikely. For the State Executives
which encourage the movement can derive no
benefit from even a favorable decision, if it be
not delivered until after they have been swept
away, and the work they would obstruct shall
have been virtually consummated. A deci
sion after the States have been reconstructed,
affirming the unconstitutionality of the pro
cess of reconstruction, would practically be of
no more avail than a judicial affirmation of the
unconstitutionality of any measure employed
in the prosecution of the war.
This is the aspect of the question which
more immediately concerns the South. Its
pride may be gratified by a legal assault upon
the policy of Congress, but only incorrigible
fools can suppose that policy will be materi
ally hindered, or on any pending question
reversed, by an appeal to the Courts. The
refusal of Judge Martin, of the Superior
Court of I'altimore, to grant the injunction
prayed for by the Maryland radicals, to pre
vent the meeting of the State Convention,
proceeds on the hypothesis that the Conven
tion is a political body of which the State
Legislature had proper and exclusive cogni
zance. By a parity of reasoning, and with the
precedent of the decision in the "Dorr Rebel
lion" case to sustain it, the Supreme Court
may not unreasonably be expected to disclaim
jurisdiction in the premises. At any rate, the
fact is incontestable that Congress has abso
lute mastery over the subject. By no appeal
to the Courts, by no quibble of lawyers, by no
combination or effrontery of Southern politi
cians, can this fact be overcome. A denial of
it theoretically will not affect it practically.
And the supremacy of Congress will continue,
despite petitions for injunctions or averments
of unconstitutionality. Its power to carry out
its will is already assured. Neither the Pre
sident nor the lawyers can compel its admis
sion of Southern Representatives, its ac
knowledgment of State Government which it
has decreed provisional, or its abatement of
one iota of the conditions which it has im
posed upon the South.
Of what utility, then, will be the movement
of which we hear from Washington, or of any
movement looking to judicial intervention as
a means of obtaining more reasonable terms ?
Absolutely not a particle. An opposite result,
however, is not at all improbable. Congress
may meet again for business in three short
months, if a quorum of its members deem a
reassembling expedient. Nothing will be
better calculated to bring about the step than
anything like an organized attempt to check
the working of the Reconstruction act. And
very little reflection is required to perceive how
readily Congress may tighten its grip and mul
I tiply its demands. It may say, for instance,
I with a certain show of reason, that the State
! executives, having been tolerated merely, not
! acknowledged, have forfeited their title to
j toleration by this attempt to frustrate the
purpose of the law. It may revise the instruc
tions to the Commanding Generals, and for a
J wide latitude of discretion substitute manda
j tory provisions, depriving the present civil
authority oi its "provisional" existence. It
may decide that the orders issued by the mili
tary commanders, and which are confessedly of
the most moderate and conciliatory character,
are too moderate and conciliatory for the occa
sion. We speak only of possibilities. But
they are possibilities which Congress may
change into actualities before the end of July,
if anv contingency shall seem to imperil the
efficacy of its plan.
Ve do not believe tiiat the movement re
ported in the World has the approval of any
considerable body of the Southern people.
iverv day furnishes new evidence that they
accept the situation as it is, and are anxious
to secure the restoration of national unity and
neace by a faithful compliance with the will
lit the laW-maKUlg power. vmi low excep
tions, the leading soldiers or the KelK-llion
counsel compliance with the terms of the law,
and their advice is sustained by prominent
civilians, whose number is continually grow-
' ,-. .. . . . ...Ml. A
inc larger, bo lar as it w possiuio iur us at
this distance to jiutge, active opposition io me
law is confined to Rebel politicians, bankrupt
in character and influence, who prefer to take
the chances of a strife that does not endanger
their precious necks, rather than promote a
state of things in which they win uo so many
nobodies. Unfortunately, the innocent may
suffer penalties which only the guilty deserve.
The neonle mav be misiudtred because of re
sistance to the law by Rebel malcontents. An
appeal to the Supreme Court may be inter
preted as the act of the South, not of a mere
fraction of its citizens and mav entail hard-
shins and difficulties from which we would
crlnllv aeu tlio Smith HftenriH.
Nor can we ignore the tendency of legal
action against the law to excite false anticipa
tions of relief, and thus to check the disposi
tion to fulfil the law which appears now to
predominate. Of course, if the Southern
people comply with the law peacefully and
even heartily, it will be because they have
arrived at the conviction that better terms are
not attainable. It is not that they love the
Reconstruction law, but that they prefer
reconstruction with the Jaw to more stringent
tale without reconstruction. They may be
tempted, therefore, by a hope of judicial inter
vention, to abate tlieir present commendable
efforts, and to place their trust in an'empty
expectation of help. These eircninstaiices, if
they occur, will indeed be deplorable. They
will intensify the bitterness of a work already
much too bitter, and will entail naught but
sullering and sorrow on the people of the
South. They have at this moment no worse
enemy than the man who advises thein to fight
Congress through the Supreme Court.
The I'nn of Connecticut.
Vom the Tribune. '
We understand the result in Connecticut.
Ths majority is larger than we figured up on
Tuesday, and the delegation to Congress con
sists of three Democrats and one Republican.
The vote was large, and the canvass fought
upon square issues. The efforts of the Demo
cratic party were unscrupulous and unresting.
The good old Democratic custom of extracting
the largest number of votes from the smallest
given number of voters was practised very
effectively in many places, so much so, indeed,
that at least one of our candidates for Congress
speaks of contesting the seat of his successful
opponent. Our friends hold the power in the
Legislature, and for all practical purposes, so
far as the State and the Republican majority
in Congress are concerned, the Copperheads
have gained a barren triumph.
1 Aside from this, it is well to look the can
vass fairly in the face. A minority of the
people of Connecticut have carried this elec
tion by a prodigious outlay of money and
effort, because a part of the majority are most
unjustly disfranchised. In October, lSiiii, the
voters were called upon-to decide upon the
question of impartial suffrage. An amend
ment permitting the negro to vote was sub
mitted. The issue was plainly made. There
were in the State about 2HH) colored men,
Americans by birth and education freemen
who had borne their part in the war, and of
whom nine-tenths were Republicans. There
was no excuse for the denial of suffrage not
even the shadow of a reason but it was re
fused in a poll of over 7,0U0 votes by a ma
jority of b'272. Our friends polled about27,00O
votes, although in the spring they gave Gene
ral llawley nearly 44,000. In other words,
there were 1(1,000 Republicans who were will
ing to make General llawley Governor who
dur not think enough of the honor of Connec
ticu to give the ballot to the negro. The
amendment was lost; and the apathy, we
might as well say the cowardice, of a frag
ment of our friends in li;.1 disfranchised
voters enough to have elected General llaw
ley on Monday.
When Connecticut voted wrongly in lS(!.r,
it was felt that her decision would injure the
progress of reconstruction in the South. Con
gress, it was thought, would not dare to give
the negro in the South the justice that was
refused him in a New England commonwealth.
It made the argument more difficult, we admit,
and gave our enemies a reply that we could
not Very well answer; but the work went on,
and to-day South Carolina is more free, in the
sense of freedom according to the Declaration
of Independence, than the old Charter State.
We are not alarmed about the influence of the
present vote upon the Republican party else
where, and especially upon the good work now
doing in the South. It would have been well
to have had Connecticut with us in this great
labor, but it can be done without her.
And now we urge our friends in Connecticut
to begin this day the work of regeneration. Con
necticut is Republican whenever Republicans
choose to make it so. "The fault is our own,"
says the New Haven Palladium. "The whole
State has been timorous, time-serving, conser
vative." Let there be an end of this. The
defeat of Governor llawley is the punishment
of the Republican Union party for the inlidelity
of a fraction of its nunilcrs to the benign prin
ciple of impartial suffrage. But for this, we
could have enjoyed the defection of Dixon,
Babcock, Cleveland, and their fellow-renegades,
and carried everything but one member
of Congress. The lesson must not be lost.
Henceforth, the Republican party, from the St.
John to the Pacific, is a unit for universal
liberty and impartial suffrage, regardless of
caste, race, or color. , Those who are hostile to
this principle will go to their own place as
Judas did. What little we may lose tempo
rarily in one section will eventually gain a
tenfold recompense in another. "With malice
towards none, with charity towards all," the
National Union party, proudly proclaiming
itself Republican in faith, and work, and name,
devotes itself anew to the achievement of all
rights for all.
General Rosecrans,
Front the Tribune.
The distinguished officer who has recently
resigned his rank as Brigadier-General in the
Regular Army will, perhaps, be referred to in
alter times as a conspicuous witness, if not of
the ingratitude of republics, at least of the
fact that war, like all other professions, is a
good deal of a lottery, in which it is not always
the deserving who win the substantial rewards.
Victor in the first important engagement
which resulted favorably to the Union arms in
the war of the Rebellion; planner and exe
cutor of four distinct campaigns, three ot
which werh eminently successful: hero of
several great battles, never decidedly beaten
in any engagement, frank and resolute in his
patriotism, and idolized by a hundred thou
sand veterans who fought under him, General
Rosecrans, by a strange combination of mis
fortunes, has never been in favor with his offi
cial superiors and never obtained even from
the people a fair recognition of his eminent
services. " There are two things," said Abra
ham Lincoln in 1S04, "for which I can never
be grateful enough to General Rosecrans: one
is the battle of Stone River, which accom
panied my proclamation of emancipation, and
was the beginning of our permanent success;
and the other is his letter to the Indiana Legis
lature about the same time, throwing all the
weight of his name and fame against the Cop
perheads. For these he deserves the lasting
gratitude of the nation." We hope he may
receive this gratitude at some future day ; he
certainly has not had it yet.
It was less than sixty days after the attack
upon Fort Sumter when he did us his first
great service in Western Virginia by com
pelling the surrender of Pegram at Rich Moun
tain. The planning and the fighting wore
both exclusively his: the reward was given to
McClellan. After the great delayer had been
transferred to the Potomac, Rosecrans fought
the battle of Carnifex Kerry, drove Wise,
Floyd, and Lee across the maintains, finished
the campaign with brilliant rapidity, and
when there was hardly a Rebel picket left on
this side of the Allegheny Mountains, was re
lieved for no fault of his own, that a Moun
tain Department might be created for General
Fremont. II fought and won the battle of
Iuka in September. 1862, while his superior
officer, General Grant, was lying inactive with
ms troops four miles from tne weia oi connict;
and although for this engagement be was
made a niainr-riiral of volunteers, there
sprang out of it ft lubanderatauding with
General Grant which has had much to do with
the t marring of all Rosecrans' subsequent
career. The next month at Corinth he beat
Van Dorn and Price, with but little more than
half as many men as his adversaries, gaiuing
the most important victory of the war up to
that time. Recalled from the pursuit, greatly
against his own Judgment, by Genoral Grant,
lie was relieved of his command nine days after
the battle, and ordered to Cincinnati.
Two months after his appointment, October
3, to the command of the 14th Corps at Bow
ling Green, Ky., ho had converted a demora
lized rabble into a magnificent army, and led
it across the Cumberland. The four days'
battle of Stone river was won not inorxrby the
intrepidity of the soldiers than by the per
sonal valor and skill of Rosecrans himself,
and was a magnideeiit prelude to the brilliant
campaign of the summer of LSiiii, by which he
drove Bragg's army out of Middle Tennessee,
and across the Tennessee river. The battle of
Chickamauga in September was a bloody en
counter, in which both sides were too badly
crippled to continue the fray; but it secured
us in . the possession of Chattanooga, the ob
jective point of the campaign, and the key of
all the country south of the Cumberland
Mountains. Nevertheless, Rosecrans was again
relieved of his command, ami for several months
was allowed to remain in obscurity. Then he
was sent to Missouri, where, besides doing effi
cient service, be discovered the secret conspi
racy of the Knights of the Golden Circle. Yet
he was once more removed, and has never
had a command since.
Whether General Rosecrairs' unfortunate
retations wiih the War Department and the
Headquarters of the Army are to be traced to
any fault of his own, we have no means of
knowing. We only know that of all our
generals he has uniformly been one of the
most fortunate in the field and one of the most
unfortunate everywhere else; and that his re
tirement ought to awaken in us a double
regret, that we have lost the services of an
accomplished officer, and have rewarded so
inadequately what he has done for us hitherto.
Restoration va. Iteconatructlon.
from the World.
Anything that looks like real restoration, as
opposed to the so-called reconstruction now
so popular in the radical party, will be hailed
with satisfaction. Accordingly, we congratu
late the country, Connecticut, and especially
this city, upon the failure of the attempt to
Reconstruct Mr. Phiueas T. Barnum from
first-class shoenian into a fifth-rate statesman,
and his restoration to the position for which
he has proved his fitness as the curator of that
celebrated collection of curiosities "which some
of our most eminent scientific men have pro
nounced to be absolutely unrivalled. He has
returned from the field of battle in the Fourth
Congressional District in Connecticut with no
honorable or dishonorable scars, but with an
astounding number of "scratches" received
at the hands of his own political party. A
complete" collection of the radical tickets in
that district which contain the name ot uaw
lev and omit or erase the name of Bamum,
would form an interesting additional feature
to the absolute unrivalled, i t cetera, and would
show that Barnum has hosts of friends in
Fairfield county who would much rather see
him in bis Museum than in Congress. The
general and lofty estimation in which the
Museum is held is witnessed in the following
extract from an editorial in the Tribune of
March 27:
'They denounce his museum, but many of
them would be Incomparably more respectable
If they hnd Hinployment in the mennet'lo of
wild nnimals connected with that excellent
establishment. We have yet to learn that there
Is unythlng irreligious in the exhibition of
valuuble curiosities, though we do not know
whivl the muNeum might become if such Demo
crats us Mr. Itnruum may boust of having for
enemies should bo included in the collection.
Mr. Barnum represents true principles, the
honest convictions of the loyal people, and
every man in the Fourth District who deserves
the name of Republican will vote for him."
We may fully indorse this opinion of the
entire absence of "anything irreligious in the
exhibition of valuable curiosities," and we
give the Tribune's notice the benefit of our
larger circulation and our much wider influ
ence, as the result m Connecticut shows.
The Tribune urged Mr. Barnum' s election to
Congress; we implored the voters in Barnum's
district not to bereave the city or the Museum
of the constant attention and attendance
of the enterprising proprietor, and the
voters listened to our voice. In behalf
ot the city, we thank them. The eminent
scientific men, the chambermaids and chil
dren, the country cousins from New Jersey
and elsewhere, and all who throng the
museum daily, Sundays excepted, from sun
rise till 10 P. M., can ill afford to see that
valuable collection even temporarily in the
hands of a manager who may ignore its
scientific bearings, and consider it only in con
nection with the pecuniary receipts at the
door. We are quite sure, too, that Mr. Bar
num himself will feel that, after all, the claims
of Connecticut upon his services are as nothing
in comparision with those of the amusement
seekers in New York. So far as he is con
cerned, the election in Connecticut has given
the unrivalled collection a world-wide cele
brity, and those who ignore the scientific
merits of the 'happy family will yet Hock to
see the city showman who came so near being
a Connecticut statesman. Barnum is restored
to his business; Congress has another and yet
better Barnum in his place; the Tribune has
had an opportunity to express its opinion of
the candidate and his collection, and their
close connection in the late campaign; and
everybody is satisfied with the "return" of
Barnum, not to t ongress, but to the city.
Negro Suffrage at the South.
from the World.
The radical plea of extending the elective
franchise to the Southern negroes, on the
ground of the "loyalty" of that class, does
not appear to be so popular, now that there is
every indication that the negroes when they
vote will vote for their true friends their old
masters. The leading Southern papers which
advise the acceptance of the latest "plan," or
at least those which counsel acquiescence in
what is inevitable, treat the whole subject of
negro suffrage on this ground, Who shall
control this Hew element in politics ? The
"plan" of the radical party in conferring
suffrage upon the negroes, pre-supposed that
the negroes would vote the radical ticket;
There now seems to be some doubt about it ;
and missionaries like Wilson, of Massachu
setts, are going to the South to convert the
colored voters, if possible, to the radical faith.
Meanwhile, the "loyalty" of this class is not
so prominent a feature in the Tribune and
other radical papers as it was; nor has the
Tribune or any other radical journal printed a
singlo line in reply to the World' u showing
that the loyalty of more than two-thirds of
the negroes during the war was loyalty to the
Rebellion. Indeed, some of the Southern
papers wow urge the greatest kindness aud
consideration on the part of the whites'towards
the negroes on account of this very loyalty.
Ia n article on negro suffrage, the Jackson.
APRIL 4, 1867.
(Miss.') Clarion, after aayintr that considera
tions of humanity and patriotism dictate that
the Southern people should use every proper
effort to control the "new element" for good,
advances the following argument to show that
the negroes deserve the elective franchise at
the hands of their friends:
Wo urn not to foreet their fidelity as a class
tlocmiihout the long and trying aoenes of the
wnr. Ou the one Hand, the most tempting
inducement to tne eejovment or unrestriomu
freedom, leemtn with the Joys of life, without
iiiey and without price, were nen out io
them; on the oiher, were the ties or friendship
which were the growth of long association in
the patriarchal, relation of master nnd lave.
Io h t-e tics, as a class, they were faithful to
Hie last."
It would be singular, indeed, if the South
should acquiesce in the negro suffrage scheme
upon the very ground which suggested the
plan to the radicals at the North the "loyalty"
oi the negroes during tne war.
