We have had enough of the Military bill to feee how it works. Thus far wo are satisfied. ' The Generals are doing as well as can be ex pected; generally speaking, a good deal better. We could have wished uome things otherwise, i tut we try to remember that these men are in positions that have no parallel in our history, and we trust will remain without a parallel. Under the orders of the President, they are "charged with the execution of a policy which the President assures us he detests, and has only received from him a petulant toleration. Every dav we are told that he is about to in terfere, that Stanbery is preparing an opinion that will upset everything, that Sheridan is to 1 removed from the Gulf and Thomas from the Mountains, and that his Exoellency is about to take things in his own hand and rush the Eouth back to the Union. Well, we have little fear of the President as long as the Ju diciary Committee is in session. Whatever we may think of impeachment, it is possible, and is the checkmating move if a checkmate Bbould be necessary. We trust it will not be. We are slightly anxious about Tennessee. TVe hear all kinds of rumors from that Btate. One party tells us lirownlow is a ruffian, that lie has armed assassins, and that the State is under a reign of terror. The other party asserts that but for Brownlow every Union man's throat would be cut to-morrow. We do not see much more than is usual in a Ten nessee canvass. These writers and speakers have rude ways of campaigning. An election canvass without a good hearty light would be a tame affair, and we imagine that there is little more trouble now than in good old Demo cratic days when his Excellency was wont, to borrow a popular phrase, to "travel on his muscle." President Jackson and Senator Benton found the whip and pistol advan tageous in political discussion and a duel or two, or a brawl, or even a pistol-ball in the hand of Stokes or Etheridge, would at the most be bringing back old times. We trust thi3 may not be; but in any event Thomas will be the pacificator. General Pope has done better than we ima gined, lie disposed of the Mobile rioters in a ' summary manner, and his recent order com pelling the officers of the law to keep the peace will make these worthies at least earn their salaiies. The order suspending the Mobile newspaper was hasty, we think. We Lave read the "incendiary" article, and do not see much fire iu it. We are glad that he thought better of his subordinate's conduct. Uor can harm come from talking treason. The jnen who talked most some years since were not over-anxious to light when they had the opportunity. They found sufficient recom pense in the quartermaster and commissary departments. Pope is wise in permitting the freest amount of talk. It will be harmless and healthy. We should like to have the order of General iokles compelling the Rebels to salute the American flag read before every company of troops in the army. It has a glorious ring, and will command for our respectable bunting more than usual consideration in tfoutta. Caro lina. We presume that many of those who Walked past it with doffed caps a few weeks Binoe, helped to drag it in the dust in 1800, and their reflections must have been salutary. His order about the distillation of grain was timely. When a people are hungry, they Should eat corn and not convert it into poison. General Schofield was wrong about Pollard's lecture, and it is well that the gasconading editor was permitted to deliver it. As it hap pened, Pollard's main, difficulty was not the lecture but the audience. He came, but the people did not; and people being an essential element on such occasions, Pollard became neither a hero nor a martyr. By all means let Pollard talk, for if he will only try to talk to empty benches he will soon get to ploughing. We fancy that the shovel and the hoe are the conquering weapons of the chivalry, and in these spring days corn and cotton are too precious to be neglected for "gab." General Ord is quietly attending to his business, and Will, we believe, attend to it well. But, after all, honor to Phil. Sheridan 1 He Las been the growing general. The war showed how great he was in the field. Peace Is developing a loftier genius. His course in Louisiana brings back much of what was grand in the administration of Butler. Honor to Phil. Sheridan t From the day when he Sent back his manly reply to the President about the New Orleans riots he has not made a mistake he has done nothing which has not brought him nearer to the loyal North. His removal of the blood-stained traitors was nobly done. When the negroes held their mass meeting we are told that there was no disturb ance for Sheridan was in his saddle. With Eheridan in the saddle, we have confidence that all will go well in New Orleans. We fully approve of the removal of Welfe. We presume it was necessary. And it has long been known that the radicals and conserva tives of Louisiana equally desired his ejection from an office for which he was unfit. We have little respect for Wells. He is a time-server and a hypocrite. He cheated the Union men to gain Rebel votes. He cheated the Kebels to gain favor with the radicals, lie proved him self a traitor in 18U5, aud we have no faith in Li m now. We never believed in his smoerity as a radical, nor in his wisdom as a chief magis trate. As he stands in the way of true recon struction, and acts only with selfish motives, we are glad that he is removed, ami that ' Sheridan had the nerve to do it. So far, reconstruction goes well. Our gene rals are doing their duty by all. The country stands by them, and will not permit them to be annoyed. We pray the President, if evil counsellors persuade him to interfere to undo "this work, to stay his hand. Last year he at tempted to defy the country, and he saw what came of it. It will not he wise to repeat the experiment. Governor Perry on Reconstruction. Trom the Herald. It is reported that Governor Perry, of South Carolina, is opposed to the present method of reconstruction, under the plea that the South Will be better governed for the next ten years by her military Governors than she will by any black representatives who may be elected td the legislative halls. We are disposed to give Governor Perry credit for much good sense or this idea. A good military Governor who has been well educated is. from his position, bis antecedents, and his earnest attempts to Steer clear of all political parties, far better suited to control the disturbed elements of the Kmitti for a fnw vears than the fattest and the sleekest nigger that may represent a sixth part of our enormous national aovi sucn uover THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, nors, for instance, as General Sickles, General Popo, or General Sheridan. If proof were wanted of this, the prompt action of the latter General in removing the Board of Levee Com missioners of Louisiana, who were about to appropriate the patronage of four millions of dollars to. voting purposes, rather than benefit the sufferers from the overflow of the Missis sippi, is a marked instance of the value of military government in the transit which the South is making from the old to the new con dition of things, and the bringing of order out of chaos. The one great fault of the South was their rejection of the Constitutional amendment which was first offered to them. In this they could have shaped the suffrage question as best pleased them. Now a radical faction imposes upon them a worse measure, to which tlioy find themselves forced to submit. This great fault is not so much due to the Southern people themselves, who came out of the war prepared to accept any reasonable measures that the conquering party chose to impose, but rather to the Brookses, the Woods, the Val landighanis and the Seymours, who, represent ing themselves as the expononts of a powerful party, advised the Southern people to a course that has retarded the progress of the country, and been a curse to those who have accepted the advice of men who were really nothing but the galvanized emblems of a Copperhead graveyard. The sound sense of the South taught it that to the victor belongs the spoils; but the lingering aud rabid Copperheadism of the North totally misled this leeling, and, turning it back, with the flattering hope that by political management much that the sword had lost might be regained, caused the present retarding of a healthy reconstruc tion, and the burying of animosities to which the radicalism of both sides appears to pander. The Copperhead press, catching at the smallest straws upon the political sea, strives to main tain itself by still holding out false hopes to the Southern people, while many of the petty sheets of the South, catching at what they think are the echoes of a powerful faction, stir discontent in the hearts of the ignorant, and retard the work of a solution of our national troubles. If the Southern people will analyze the position calmly, they will find that those whom they have called their best friends have in reality been their worst enemies, and many whom they have deemed enemies are their best friends. It is worth the consideration of the South, that their position, as Governor Perry states, may really be better under the present form of government than under that of the thick-lipped, flat-nosed, woolly-healed, and corpulent nigger representatives, who may soon be as proud in tracing back their de scent from Congo or Sousan as any of the whites of the South now are of running back to England for proofs of pure blood. A New Era In Austria. From the Tribune. The speech of the Emperor of Austria on opening the Ileichsrath (Parliament) of the German and other non-Hungarian provinces, is one of the most important documents in the modern history of Austria. It marks the be ginning of a new era. The Constitution hitherto in force aimed at the consolidation of all the provinces into one body politic, with one common Parliament, embracing the repre sentatives of every province. The carrying through of this principle was balked by the firm resistance of the Hungarians, who insisted that the Emperor, or rather the King of Hun gary, had no right to set aside the old Con stitution of the kingdom, and unite it, in point of administration, with Austria, with which it had never been united before. The struggle between the Austrian Government, which made the utmost efforts to carry through its centralizing policy, and the Hungarians, who remained almost unanimous in their resist ance, lasted for several years. The Hunga rians firmly refused to elect any Deputies to the Reichsrath, and that body, therefore, although provided for in the Constitution, was, never convened. The disastrous issue of the German-Italian war impressed the Austrian Emperor with the unavoidable necessity of coming to terms with Hungary. The chief demand of the Hun garians was granted; the continuing validity of their ancient constitution was recognized; the policy of centralization abandoned; the old constitution of the Empire set aside; and the principle of dualism adopted as the corner stone of the new political edifice which is to lie reared. According to this principle, Hungary, with its dependencies, Croatia, Slavonia, Dal matia, and Transylvania, are to constitute the one autonomous section of the Empire, with its own parliament; ana the Provinces lor meily belonging to the old German Confedera tion, and Gallicia, are to constitute the other half. With the Hungarians a perfect agree ment has been secured; and the Emperor will, probably, in the course of June, be crowned as King of Hungary with extraordinary pomp. The Parliament of the other Provinces was opened on May 22, by the speech to which we have above referred. The Austrian Government is experimenting to find the right and lasting basis for the re construction of the empire. The new plan is entirely satisfactory to the Magyars. It may satisfy the Germans, but it has already made a very large portion of the Sclavi, the most numerous race of Austria, the most violent enemies of the Empire. The triumph of dualism seems to them to be identical with the rule of the Hungarians in the eastern and of the Germans in the western half of the Empire, and with the servitude of the Solavi in both. The Sclavi are looking to Russia for aid, and the National party in Russia eagerly respond to their appeals, endeavoring to gain them over for the idea of the Pan-Sclavio Em pire. Thus a new danger looms up for Austria, a danger which may yet become much greater than any which had previously beset the in tegrity or tne bmpire. The Impeachment Business. From the IHmes. According to reports from Washingtou, a majority of the Judiciary Committee of the House has decided that they have discovered no grounds for impeaching the President. This will probably end 'the whole proceeding, although Mr. Ashley threatens to appeal from the Committee to thejlouse. Such an appeal, especially when taken by him, will amouut to nothing. The Houso would in any case be averse to impeachment unless "crimes and misdemeanors" had been traced to the Presi dent of such a character as to leave no alter native; and in the face of a report against it from a majority of the Committee, not one fourth of the House will be iu favor of such a proceeding. Besides, the time has gone by when impeach ment would serve the ends for which it was proposed. Its original object was, not to punish the President for his crimes, but to get possession of his office. Wendell Phillips, Ashley, Stevens, and their associates, wanted the power and the patronage of the Execu tive within their control. They feared, more over, that the President would interpose difficulties in the way of their political pro jects that he mipht interfere with the execu tion of the laws they might pass and they deemed impeachment important, therefore, as the only means of putting in his place some one who would be more obedient to their wibhes. Mr. Thillips declared openly that the President was an "obstacle" to the accom plishment of their plans, and that he must therefore be removed. Governor Boutwell said that he did not see how It would be pos sible to pass and carry into effect the measures which the publio welfare demanded, so long as Mr. Johnson remained in the Executive chair. Other leading radicals were equally clear and explicit in their avowals of the motives which prompted the movement for impeachment. It was designed, after articles of impeachment had been passed by the House, to secure the President's suspension from office during the trial; and by way of prepa ration for that contingency, Mr. Wade of Ohio was selected to be President of the Senate, not by reason of any fitness for that place, but because he was supposed to be esnnoiallv qualified for the contingent service which had been marked out for him. The lapse of time has weakened the forca of this motive, if not destroyed it altogether. President Johnson is not so much an "obstacle" as was anticipated. He has exe cuted the laws of Congress in perfect cood faith and with full effect. His appointment of military commanders or the Southern Depart ments was judicious, and met with preneral approval. lie aided in seeuring the exercise by the blacks of the suffrage conferred upon tuem oy law. ins appointments to office have been largely controlled by the radical mem bers of Congress, and in all reRpects he has left no room for serious complaint as to the course he has pursued. There is little motive. therefore, and as little desire now, even among the Republicans in Congress, to "get rid" of the President in any other way than by the expiration oi nis term oi oiuoe. The Committee will probably recommend the publication of the immense amount of matter which they have collected about the President, under the name of "testimony." We can see no possible eood to be thus effected, but that consideration will have but little weight. Much of this evidence is mere scandal and gossip, some of it malicious, and more of it merely reckless, which has very little bearing of any kind upon the publio interest, and will serve only to feed the appe tite for scandal, which is so sharp aud so uni versal. . The Safety of Women. From the World. Swinburne ignorantly chants the close of winter as ending "The season of fdows and sins." With the warm weather, statisticians like Qnotclet, on the contrary, assure us the reign of crimes against the person com mences; and though it cannot fairly be said that we have been tormented as yet this year with any intolerable heats, a glance at the police record of the newspapers must suffice to show that in the dark calendar of sin May has been written down as a hot month. Other than cliinatio in fluences may very well be supposed to have had their share in bringing this to pass. To the "canker of a long peace" has succeeded the in flammation of a long war; and it is hardly surprising that the systematio excitement by all possible means of the passions of a whole people for five consecutive years, should be daily bringing forth the fruits of violence and outrage. The war-spirit is like the Demon of the Broomstick in Southey's poem he keeps on bringing up his buckets long after the tubs have been filled, and the house is threatened with a flood. But one special form in which crime against the person has of late been manifesting itself demands more serious attention than it has yet received. It used to be the reasonable boast of the American people that respect for women was their uni versal characteristic. The tourists, like Marryatt, who ridiculed American prudery, and invented fables about piano-legs in panta lets, were forced to admit that the squeamish ness of phrase at which they laughed their horse-laughs was but the grotesque expression, after all, of a very genuine and most honorable regard for the delicacy and the virtue of women. The most recent French writer on our social institutions, M. Carlier, prefaces some pretty sharp and pungent criticisms upon our domestic notions and habits by declaring that "in America woman is under the shield of publio opinion." And this, he adds, "is no unmeaning word; for however inexperienced in life, a woman may travel alone and pass through the whole United States without a man daring to hazard a word or a gesture iu her presence which could offend her." This is meant for sincere praise, and taken historically, it was once not undeserved. But it begins now to read, in the light of recent days, very like a piece of malignant satire. It is so liar from being true that a woman can now travel in safety alone through the whole United States, that in so quiet and puritanical a city as Brook lyn it has actually become unsafe for women to venture out alone after dark from one house to anotheriu the public streets. Scarcely a day passes without its story, from one or another quarter of the Union, of the most re volting outrages perpetrated upon helpless women. At no time could such a phenome non be passed over lightly by those whose duty it is to keep watch on the walls of the social order. But we are entering now upon the season which annually mis the highways and by-ways of the land with travellers of both sexes, in search of health and recreation. Eamilies, accus temed to the quiet aud security of life iu their own homes, are beginning" now to be dispersed over the country in all direc tions; and it is proper, therefore, to call the particular attention, not only of their natural protectors, but of all who are charged with the police of the land, to the recent, omi nous multiplication of offenses which it has heretofore been our habit to think of, when we thought of them at all, as the exclusive cala mity of remote and barbarous nations. This multiplication is so marked, and it is to be observed iu so many widely-separated regions of our country, that it may almost be described as a sort of moral epidemic, not safely to be left out of their calculation by those who are preparing themselves for their annual hegira. . l'ue, it is at our own doors as well as in the lanes of New England, and iu the fields of the West. But there is a certain measure of secu rity to be found in the numbers of our popu lation, even where the inadequacy of our spe cial police system is most flagrant and most conspicuous; and those chronic perils of "houses in the country," which William Howitt so graphically paints in his "Rural Life in England," are almost all born of the isolation of country life. , It is not an agreeable suggestion, we know; to make to those who are contemplating sum iuer jaunts for themselves and those who are dear to them, that it will no lonor l.a f t count upon the "shield of publio opinion" as an ample protection for their homes. But the evidence is before us, and we cannot forbear from uttering its lesson. This is the more imperative, that several cases of this sort, which have lately coine before the oourts in this vicinity, have ended in a way little cal culated to strike the desperate classes with a Just and salutary terror. Only this week the parties engaged in a particularly horrible crime of this kind iu New Jersey have received their sentences upon conviction. Three of them have been dismissed with fines ranging from five to eight hundred dollars, anil with a few months of imprisonment. A fourth for it is necessary, though sickening to say, that this was a case in which one unfortunate girl was made the victim or the brutality of a whole gang of ruffians a fourth waa actually Buttered to slip out of court before sentence was pronounced, leaving his friends to pay the forfeit of his bail to the amount of a couple or thousand dollars ! wmie the courts of justice deal thus leniently with abominations so atrocious, it assuredly becomes citizens at large to prepare themselves for a larger crop of scoundrelism than we have heretofore boeu used to believe could possibly be grown on American soil.
