The Attorney-General'" Opinion.
Tub publication of Attorney-General Stan
berj'a "opinion" in full confirms the outgiv
ings of tlia press for the last few days concern
ing its character. It is in effect a nullification
Of the Reconstruction law passed by Congress,
nd shows very clearly that the President does
not intend to execute the law in good faith.
It is, in truth, his Justification for not execut
ing it. Under a pretense that the law could
not be understood, the Attorney-General has
been called upon for a construction of it, and
he has given just such an one as his master
desired. This sudden difficulty of understand
ing the law is very singular. The President
found no difficulty in understanding it, or pre
tending to, when the law was before him for
Lis approval or negation. And, strange enough,
he understood it then in an exactly opposite
Sense from what he now adopts. Stanbery
tras his readv tool in both instances. lie is
Said to have written the veto messages, and
now he furnishes the opinion which stamps
the veto messages as deceptive and fraudulent
in every important particular. If this
"opinion," which Attorney-General Stanbery
lias manufactured to order for Andrew Johnson,
as his excuse for not exeouting the Recon
struction law, be correct, if its allegations
be true, if its construction of the
law be honest, then the messages vetoing the
Reconstruction law, with their high-sounding
denunciations, their impassioned arraignment
Of its provisions, their statements of the ex
traordinary powers It proposed to confer, in
deed, their entire tone and spirit, must be put
down as deliberate attempts to deceive the
people under the guise of solemn official decla
rations, and as the mere clap-trap of the most
ordinary demagoguery. The veto messages
and the opinion cannot both be true. They
are diametrically opposed. They treat of the
same subject, and contain contradictory state
ments upon the same points. Each is a complete
refutation of the other. If either be true, the
other cannot possibly be so.
Such a state of facts as this is must go far to
deprive Mr. Johnson of what little confidence
anybody still had in him. For instance, how
must any man now feel who read and believed
Mr. Johnson's arraignment of the Reconstruc
tion law in his veto messages, when he finds
hy the opinion that said law is an entirely dif
ferent thing, and that its supposed specially
obnoxious features had no existence in fact f
How much cheap indignation, according to
this opinion, did Mr. Johnson and his friends
waste upon Congress I How grossly he mis
represented the character of its acts 1 His de
nunciations are now seen to have merely been
for effect. It was a deep political game that his
Excellency was playing, in which the passions
Of the people were to be wantonly aroused,
the country gratuitously exasperated, and the
fires of political agitation unnecessarily fanned
to a flame, lie was an actor, "strutting his
brief hour' ' upon the national stage; and he
must make his piece lively and entertaining,
at whatever disregard of truth. And this is
the man who never tires of pluming himself
upon his consistency I who always takes the
Constitution for his guide t who never eeases
to parade his devotion to the good of the
country !
The people never stop to regard technicali
ties. They go to the root of matters to the
great questions really involved. Mr. Stan
bery' s pettifogging opinion will not make the
.slightest impression upon the publio mind, so
far as regards the character of the Reconstruc
tion law. The people understand that that
law was meant to give effect to a certain policy
of reconstruction, as opposed to a certain other
policy. It was the triumph of their policy, a3
opposed to his policy. And in this "opinion"
they will see nothing but an attempt of the
President to override the popular will, to sub
stitute his own therefor, and to reopen the
Contest whioh BO shook the country last fall.
Shall We Have a Special Session of
Congress t
Whes Congress adjourned in April, both
Houses made provision for reassembling before
the first Monday in December. By concurrent
resolution it was ordered that Congress re
assemble on the fourth day of July, and that,
in case of no quorum being present, the pre
siding officer had power to adjourn until the
regular time of meeting in December. This
aotion was caused by a deep-seated distrust of
the intentions of the Administration. The
representatives of the loyal North felt that no
confidence could be placed in the Exeoutlve
Department of the General Government; and,
believing that the laws would not be faith
fully executed unless under compulsion, they
therefore resolved to reassemble and compel
the fulfilment of the provisions of the various
hills legally adopted. The time specified for
the special session is now drawing near, and
he question is a pertinent one as to whether
a quorum of the two Houses will assemble, or
whether an adjournment will be effected until
next winter f
The decision is of vital importance, and, in
view Of the recent developmenst'in Washing
ton, we do not hesitate to declare that it is the
Imperative duty of every loyal representative
to be in his seat on the first of next month
The publio good requires that a special session
of Congress be held. The course adopted by
the Executive in regard to the meaning and

execution of the Military bill in an Infamoru
ono. By means of legal quibblns the law is to
be evaded. A nharp practitioner is anourod as
Attorney-General, and all his legal Invention
has been for months directed towards seeing
how the bill may be defeated and its true
meaning perverted.
In his two decisions the spirit of the law is
laid aside as a useless thing, and Its letter is
so perverted that it really means nothing at
all. Yet by means of this evasion the aims
of the law have been defeated. It is a new
idea in our political system, that a Cabinet
officer can nullify an act of Congress. The
value of the opinion of Judge Stanbery is Just
as valuable as that of any other acute lawyer,
but the military commanders are to be judges
of its application to their cases; yet he has
assumed to turn the law from its true intent,
and the Executive has declared he has the
power; and unless the strong arm of legisla
tion intervene, we are in danger of having all
the work of a year crumble away before the
sophistry of a sub-lieutenant of the Execu
tive. It is therefore emphatically necessary
that a quorum be present on July 1. There is
great work to be done. The Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens, one of the wisest statesmen of the
age, with all his faults, presents his views in
a forcible letter, in which he says:
"I think It Is proper to suggest the propriety
of liavlcg a quorum In Congress on the first,
proximo. Tiio opinions of the Attorney-General
teem to require some explanatory or sup
plemental ants. A mistake more objectionable
tlmn either 1b the fact ot usurpation by the
Attorney-General In uotitig at all In the ques
tion,, una treating his directions as blndiug
olliclally. The Aitorney-Oeneral hns no more
ngbt to Interfere than the President hud to re
construct, wliioli pretension Congress has set
tied, since It has been adjudged that the oon
qiiered States are to be treated as subdued terri
tory, end to be rebuilt without roferenoe to
their former condition by the legislative power
alone. It is to be supposed that Congress alone
is to be appealed to in case of dimoulty."
Here is the question fairly stated. The
wings by which this occupant of a Cabinet
seat seeks to soar above Congress must be
clipped. Supplemental acts are necessary,
which will at once and forever set at rest the
pretenses of the Attorney -General and the
hopes of the Rebels based thereon.
In order that anything can be done, it is ne
cessary that a quorum be present, and that
quorum must consist of Republicans. We
cannot count on the absence of any Democrat,
in order that the required action may be se
cured. They will probably all be in their
seats, but will refuse to answer to their names
if by so doing the session can be prevented.
We therefore urge upon every member the
absolute necessity of his being present. The
people will hold all delinquents to a strict
responsibility. The publio exigency demands
their presence; it is criminal to shirk the duty
because of the temperature of the weather.
We feel confident that when our delegation
think over the requirements of the country,
at least sixteen of the twenty-four mem
bers from the Keystone State will be in their
seats, sacrificing their personal ease for the
national good.
The Park Commissioners.
At the last session of the Legislature an act
was passed which provided for the extension
of Fairmount Park, by the addition to it of
the neighboring lands lying within certain
limits. But a still more important feature of
this law was that which created a Board of
Commissioners, to whom the general regula
tion and improvement of the Park should bo
entrusted. The portions of the act relating to
the Commission read as follows:
"Section 2. The Mayor, the Presidents of the
Select and Common Councils, Commissioner of
City Property, theChlef Kugineerand Surveyor,
and the Chief Engineer of the Water Works of
said city, together with ten clllzens of said city,
who shall be appointed for five years, five of
whom by the Llstrict Court, and Ave of whom
by (he Court of Common Pleas of said olty, be
and the same are hereby constituted Commis
sioners of said Pork ; they shall organize an
nually, on the first Monday of June, by the
election of a President and Secretary, but they
bhall receive no coinpcnsotlon for their services
us Commissioners: Provided, that whenever a
vacancy shalloccur In that part of the said Com
missioners appointed by the Courts, the Court
from which the appointment was made shall
fill thevacancy.
'Section 4. The Commissioners of said park,
after they shall have secured possession
of the ground, shall adopt a plan lor tue im
provement and maintenance thereof, and shall
Lave powers to proceed with the same, and all
moneys expended shall be under their super
vision, but no contracts shall be made for said
Improvement unless an appropriation therefor
shall have been first made by the Councils of
said city.
"Section 5. As soon as the said Commis
sioners shall have fully organized, they shall
have the care and management of Fairmount
Park on both sides of the river Schuylkill, and
all plans and expenditures for the Improvement
and maintenance of the same shall be under
their control, subject to such appropriations
as Councils may from time to time make as
aforesaid."
Under the operation of the second section,
as given above, the following gentlemen were
appointed upon the Commission:
Kll K. Price, John Welsh, William Sellers,
Joseph Harrison, John C. Cresson, Major
General Ueorge O. Meade, N. U. Browne,
Henry M. Phillips, Theodore Cuyler, Gustavus
Uemak.
One or two preliminary meetings of the Com
mission were held during May, and on the 3d
of June a permanent organization was duly
effected by the election of his Honor Mayor
McMichael as President, General George G.
Meade as Vice-President, Joseph F. Marcer as
becretary, and N. B. Browne as Treasurer.
Having thus organized, the Commission at
once took possession of Fairmount Park and
assumed its management. On this event we
must certainly congratulate such of the people
of Philadelphia as desire to see Fairmount
Park what it ought to be, in order that it may
not be a disgrace to the city. A responsible
body of men, restricted la its numbers, can
manage such an institution much better than
a single official, or such unwieldy concerns as
the two branches of the City Councils. But
we greatly fear the . Commission made
mistake at the very beginmng of their
operations, by excluding from their
meetings all the outside world, iu.
eluding the representatives of the press,

the hands of the Commissioners. For these
reasons, every taxpayer in the city is as much
interested in the proceedings of the Commis
sion as are its own memlmrs. No possible
good can result from investing these proceed
ings with seoreoy; and whether or not corrup
tion does obtain a foothold in the Park Com
mission, the publio at largo will always
entertain some suspicion of its existence, by
reason of their sad experience with similar
bodies in the past. Hitherto, the Secre
tary has been accustomed to furnish
the reporters of the daily tournala with
a very brief and meagre outline of the pro
ceedings of the Commission, which has only
tended to arouoe, without satisfying the curi
osity of those who are anxious to see Fair
mount Park a credit to the city. Such persona
would be gratified with a perusal of the de
bates, as well as of all the proceedings of the
Commission in detail. To enable the press to
furnish this, its representatives should be ad
mitted to every business meeting of the Com
mission. This is rendered all the more neces
sary by the fact that on Saturday a meeting of
the Commission was held, commencing at noon
and adjourning shortly after 1 o'clock, after
which the Secretary refused to furnish the
reporters in attendance with any account
of the proceedings. We hope . the Com
mission will reconsider their action in ex
cluding the publio, and thereby afford all
who are interested the privilege of being pre
sent at their meetings.
Tbxap. General Griffin, and General Reynolds
of Texas report to General Sheridan that Judge
Reeves, of the Ninth Judicial DUtrict of that
State, in a charge to tbe Grand Jury of his
Court, staled he should not receive the testimony
of negroes, as the laws of Congress on the sub
ject were unconstitutional, and he, therefore,
defied them. They also report the same facts
against Judge Dougherty, who stated, In the
headquarters ol (ieneral Reynolds, that, as re
gards the tebtitnouy of negroes, he would not
recognize the law or authority of Congress and
will be bound only to the sovereign State of
Texas. Repi rts of a like character are coming
in almoi-t daily horn the different parishes of
Texas.
Some members of tbe Opposition iu the Eng
lish House ot Commons having made an attack
upon Lcrd Stanley's course in the recent Peace
Conference of London, Lord Stanley m reply
stated that, had England hesitated to (rive her
adhesion to the collective guarantee ot the neu
trality of Luxembourg, the armies, of France
and Prussia would be n jw in the field, and all
Kurope would be involved in war. Lord Stanley
also stated that the Luxembourg treaty, as
signed in London, did not bind any power to
interfere duply In the eventualities which may
arise relative to tbe future of Luxembourg.
Amono the latest royal arrivals in Paris is that
ot tbe new King of Egypt, who arrive 1 yester
day. The Cable states that he met with an
enthusiastic reception, but similar statements
were made on the arrival of Cher monarch?,
and have been contradicted by tbe more accu
rate steamer intelligence. The author of the
despatches probably mistook curiosity for en
thusiasm. According to Turkish despatches, Omar
Pasba, on the 3d of June, obtained an important
victory over the Cretan insurgents, and secured
possession of a rock-bound valley which is con
sidered one of the strongest places on the island.
The despatch claims less than many previous
despatches, which announced the entire sup
pression ot the insurrection, and wcro subse
quently found to be mere inventions; and it is
hardly entitled to any greater credit.
