The BuoceBS in laying and operating through,
llie Atlantio telegraph cable lias had a sur
prising effect in stimulating telegraphlo enter
prises all over the world, liven the most ex
clusive and distant countries have felt the
quickening Influence. Countries that a few
years ago were jealously sealed up from the
rest of the world, now desire to be put in com
munication with all nations through the mys
terious " agency of the magnetic telegraph.
Distance by land or under the broadest and
fleerest oceans, however great, is no longer
considered an obstacle; aud there Is no longer
ny doubt that within the course of a few
years every continent and important island of
Ihe globe will be united by telegraphs.
' Hitherto the use of the magnetio telegraph
lias been confined chiefly to America ana Eu
ope. With the exception of the line to India
by the way of the Persian Gulf and Egypt,
those few in the British possessions of Asia and
Australia, and the Russian lines piercing the
confines of Eastern Asia, it has been confined
to the populous centres of Europe and Ame
rica. Kearl three-fourths of the human
fan.ily, enibraoing five or six hundred millions,
in China, India. Japan, and other parts of Asia,
liari no knowledge of its use. But these times
o' arkness and exclusiveness are passing

' io policy of excluding foreigners and our
TV i u rn civilization is being abandoned by the
Chi dee, and we have no doubt the Govern
ment of that vast empire will soon permit'
te! ''graph lines to be established in the interior.
TLV Chinese are a shrewd and active people in
mt- :ers of business, and as soon as they
len ize the advantages of the telegraph, which
Vti : be laid along the coast, they will want it
cm it d into the interior. The Emperor will
xu-l f til to see the facilities it will afford in
con . mnicating his edicts and governing his
i'X' isive empire, and the merchants will

evident, too, from the liberality lately
t... a by the Japanese Government, that
J. 4 a; Clao will soon be opened to telegraphio

tl. : v iilo flashing intelligence of the markets
iu.. . . ents in Asia, as we now have from
li c. We have no doubt that a cable
cci . be laid direct from the western shores of
cnr tountryto Japan under the Pacific; but
tl re is no question of this being practicable
b making some of the intermediate islands
telegraph stations. One island was lately dia-
- covered on the route of the mail steamships
from San Francisco, and the probability is
there are many others. At any rate, it would
le easy enough by the way of our new posses-
gions and the Aleutian Islands. We may con
fidently expeot to have within a few years tele
graphio communication both to and in the in
terior of Japan and China. We have news
Bow by the Paoiflo Steamship line from Japan
in twenty days and from China in twenty-four.
S'his is making extraordinary progress, when
ive consider that a short time ago it required
Several months to get news from that part of
the world; but the telegraph will annihilate
space and bring us within hourly communi
cation. A few years ago the great movement of the
age was in steamship enterprise. That move-,
ment still goes on, and acts both as a pioneer
and auxiliary of the telegraph; but the
greatest at present is in telegraphio enter
prises. There are several projects to lay other
Atlantio cables besides the two already laid. It
Vill not be long before New York will be con
nected directly, or from some point near the
city, with not only the British Islands, but
vith France and other European countries.
"Russia has a line from Europe across the con
tinent of Asia to the mouth of the Atuoor
river, and we have on the Pacifio side commu
nication as far as Simpson's river, in British
America. Between these points a connection
Trill be made ere long, aocording to the project
of Mr. P. McD. Collins, though the work has
leen temporarily suspended. A cable will
soon be laid connecting Cuba with the United
Btates. There are projects also for connecting
all the States of Central and South America
With this country. Besides these enterprises
there are many others projected, all Bhowing
what a stimulus has been given lately to this
sew and great civilizing movement. The
poet's dream of a magician putting a girdle of
intelligence around the earth will soon be more
than realized. The magical power of eleo
tricity in the hands of science will not only
send intelligence around the globe in a few
minutes, but will diffuse it over the whole
face of the earth. This country and this great
metropolis, from geographical position, must
become the centre and radius of the intellec
tual and commercial movements thus stimu
lated and carried on through the magnetio
telegraph.
Th Authority of the Attorney-General
Over Uwi of Cougroi.
'From the Time.
Mr. Stevens objeots to regarding the opinion
Of the Attorney-General on the Reconstruction
aot as of binding force or obligation. In this
lie is quite right. The pretense that the
Attorney-General has any authority to give an
official construction to laws of Congress, whioh
fjhail control the action of other departments
of the Government, is ridiculous; and it is
Irue that there Is a strong disposition in sundry
quarters thus to regard Mr. Stanbery's opinion
n registration, already published, and the
one on the powers of military commanders. It
Seems to be taken lor granted that his con
struction of the law must be final and con
clusive. Nothing could be more absurd.
The President may seek the opinion of the
.Attorney-General as a lawyer, upon any law
joint concerning which he is himself in doubt,
ar (1 he may deem it prudent to make that
cm : ;iion the basis and guide of his own action.
he cannot evade the responsibility of his
r. ion by Any such resort. If the Attorney
i, neral convinces his judgment, and satisfies
1. mthat a certain course is the proper one to
In- pursued, very well; but he cannot shelter
liiunelf behind the Attorney-General from
Cflkial Judgment or from public censure.
THE DAILY
Whether the Supreme Court can overrule
the other departments of the Government On
questions of constitutional law or not, has
been in doubt, or rather in dispute, from the
very origin of our Government. Jefferson and
the Republicans of his day maintained that it
could not; that its Judgments could not have
the slightest official authority, either with
Congress or the President, upon questions
submitted to their action; that each depart
ment of the Government was independent,
thoroughly and entirely, of the other; and
that, while the decision of the Supreme Court,
duly pronounced in any case coming properly
before it, for or against the constitutionality
of any law, is final and conclusive as between
the parties in the case, it could have no
weight whatever, as an authoritative judg
ment, upon either the legislative or execu
tive departments. Hamilton and his school
maintained the opposite. Jackson, in his
famous controversy with the National Bank,
stood upon Jefferson's ground, and Mr. Van
Buren, in his recently published and very
valuable "History of Political Parties," has
shown that this was the position always held
by the Democratio party, until it was betrayed
by its pro-slavery zeal into an abandonment
of it in the Dred Scott decision, pronounood, as
he does not fail to remind us, by a Chief Jus
tice, and under a President, both of whom had
come into the Democracy from the bosom of
the old Federal party, bringing with them its
principles, traditions, and prejudices to a
greater degree than they were themselves
aware.
It is a curious illustration of the transforma
tions constantly taking place in political par
ties, that the Demooracy should now be the
special champions and defenders, of the abso
lute supremacy of the Supreme Court. In
Jackson's time they scouted the idea that its
decisions on political questions were to over
rule either Congress or the President. That
Court pronounced the bank to be constitu
tional. General Jackson, conceding that their
decision in the case submitted was conclusive
as between the parties, maintained that it
neither changed his opinion nor had anything
whatever to do with his official aotion. Ha
vetoed the bill, and the Democratio party and
the country sustained him. In the Dred
Scott case the Court overruled Congress and
the President, and annulled the political ac
tion and history of thirty years; and the
Democracy broke itself in pieces and plunged
the nation into a civil war, by attempting to
sustain the decision and the authority of the
Court to make it. They ought to learn some
thing by experience.
But however it may be with the Supreme
Court, the Attorney-General has not the
shadow of a claim to any such authority.
He has no authority to pronounce judicial
decisions in any case whatever. He has no
judicial functions. His office is that of an
advocate, not of a judge. He represents the
Government in the courts; he is to sustain
its authority and vindicate its interests by
argument before those with whom alone it
rests to pronounce judgment. Mr. Steveus
is quite right in saying that it would be
"usurpation" for the Attorney -General to over
rule the law of Congress by construction, in
this or in any other matter. But this he does
not attempt. If it is done, it must be done
by the President, with or without the Attorney-General's
opinion. The President, and
he alone, has the power to act, and, there
fore, the responsibility must rest with him.
Mr. Stevens thinks it important that Con
gress should meet at once to remedy this evil.
We do not see the necessity. The mere fact
that the Attorney-General has given au erro
neous opinion (if it be erroneous) certainly
creates no such necessity. If that opinion
should be made the basis of Executive action,
with manifest injury to the public interests
if, on the strength or it, the President shouia
nullify the disfranchising clauses of the law,
or reverse the action of the military com
manders, replacing Wells, Monroe, Abell,
Withers, and others, and removing feiiendan,
Pope, and Sickles, an emergency might then
arise which would require the action of Con
gress. But no such emergency has yet arisen,
nor do we see reason to fear it.
General Sherman and the Indiana.
From the Tribune.
The Indian troubles are on the increase, and
General Sherman is likely to have his hands
full for some time to come. According to
Governor Hunt, of Colorado, the war has at
tained to formidable proportions, for in a
despatch to General Sherman he states that it
now exists over a country of two thousand by
one thousand miles in extent. In a telegram
recently sent by the Government officers of
Colorado Territory to President Johnson, ask .
ing tor the adoption of prompt and vigorous
measures against the Indians, a sad picture is
drawn of the state of the Territory, owing to
the active hostility of the red men, who are
making depredations and killing the white
settlers on every side. Ranches are burned;
coaches and emigrant teams are attacked; stock
run oil'; and numerous murders committed.
Our special correspondent says despatches
swarm in daily from Montana, Dakota, and
Colorado, announcing sew depredations and
murderous outrages. It is easy to conceive
the effett of all this upon the people of the
more remote and unprotected settlements. We
are not at all surprised to learn that "the arts
of peace are suspended, and the people suf
fering from a feeling of insecurity, which para
lyzes every branch of industry."
In such a state of things vigorous measures
are imperatively called for, and these will cer
tainly be adopted by General Sherman, pro
vided, of course, the means of doing bo are
placed at his disposal by the Government. The
ueneral says he has not a sufficient number of
troops to protect all the exposed points, and
that the people must, for the present, fight the
Indians themselves. Under the circumstances
they certainly have no choice left them but to
shoulder the rifle and meet the enemy. Still,
u a,nard and oruul casa that this dire neces
sity should be forced upon them; and no time
ought to be lost in sending on reinforcements
or troops to enable General Sherman to make
shart, sharp, and decisive work of the cam
paign which has been commenced. With a
man like Sherman in command, it is not being
too sanguine to expect that such will be the
character of the operations against the Indians.
We have had enough of Territorial wars con
ducted by irresponsible men. This time it is
a satisfaction to know that one of our ablest
and most experienced generals will direot the
movements of the forces, which will be com
posed in great part by United States troops.
But while a vigorous prosecution of the
war is necessary, in order that hostilities
might be brought to as speedy a termination
as possible, and the Territories thereby deliv
ered from a blighting calamity, that spirit is
to be denounced which urges that the Indians
should be treated as devils, whom we are mer
cilessly to sweep from off the face of the earth,
in retaliation for their merciless deeds. Now
that the war is upon us, it must be fought out
as such a war ought to be prosecuted; and in
view of the atrocities which the Indians have
been committing in the Territories, we can
EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
make some allowance for the language em
ployed by Governor Hunt And his annooiate
officers, in their despatch to President JohDSon,
when they call for terrible measures of re
taliation. But onght the provocations, the
Indians have received to be lost sight off
Has mismanagement, has bad faith on
the part of agents, has persistence in a
policy calculated to alienate the Indian
rather than attach him to us, nothing to do
with these frequently recurring wars, so costly
to the country, and so miserably barren in
their results r Why, only in the year 18(35 it
erst the Government a large portion of which
money went into the pockets of Government
thieves $25,000,000 to carry on an Indian
war; and now in 1867 we have another similar
war on our hands, which will involve a further
large expenditure of money. It is easy to talk
of exterminating the Indian, but the task of
getting rid of him in that way would not be
found so practicable as some suppose; and it is
by no means an economical mode of disposing
of him, as we have seen. The present hos
tilities show that the race have some vigor in
them still. Let another plan be tried, more
consonant with the principles of humanity,
and more becoming a great nation. Let a policy
of wise conciliation be adopted, and well-organized
and properly sustained efforts be made
to bring the Indian within the reach of civili
zing influences. Until we have done our best
to convert him into a useful citizen, we ought
not to reproach him with being an incorrigible
savage.
Lord Stanley
From the Time$.
and tha
Treaty.
Luxembourg
Whatever prestige Lord Stanley may have
gained for his party in his administration of
foreign affairs, has not been won, and is not
likely to be held, for nothing.
The telegraph announced that a young
representative Whig, in the person of Mr.
Labonchere, had been put forward to question
the Foreign Secretary formally, in accordance
with parliamentary rule, as to the nature and
extent of the engagement by which England
had become bound to uphold the settlement
of the London Conference. Mr. Labouchere's
instructions from the leaders of his party
seem to have inspired him with unusual
denunciatory power for one so young. Lord
Stanley's course in the Conference had ex
hibited "no evidence of statesmanship." His
rashness had made active intervention in cer
tain eventualities a necessity. And in the next
European war Lord Stanley's participation in
m? vuiiicicmu nimm xro ivuuu w iuvvuq a
England in the dispute.
It needs no very great power of insight into
party political motives to see that Lord Stan- 1
ley is a far greater stnmbling-block to the
traditional Whigs than Mr. Disraeli with his
facility in the rSle of a Reformer or the rest
of the Tory Party put together. The Foreign
Minister was independent enough to assent to
the reopening of the question of the Alabama
and other claims after Lord Russell and Lord
Clarendon had shut off discussion. He found
a way to steer clear of the German muddle,
after the very utmost had been done by his
Whig predecessors to drag England into the
quarrel. His neutral course in dealing with
the Cretan appeal, and the Eastern question
generally, has at least redounded so far to his
credit that the Queen's Government is to-day
as free to go into a frank and friendly confer
ence with Russia, France and Austria, as if
the insurrection in the Archipelago and the
troubles in Roumania had not even had an
existence.
With equal discretion, a quarrel ha3 been
avoided, where there was a fair chauce of a
quarrel, with Spain. And the mischief look
ing at it from a Whig Party standpoint is
that the country begins to believe that the
very reverse of all this conciliatory temper
and action would not only have been possible,
but almost certain, under a Russell or Claren
don administration.
Admitting, however, that Lord Stanley's
negative successes should naturally awaken
more or less jealousy, one may fairly wonder
that the position assumed by England in the
London Conference should form the basis of
a party assault, either by the skirmishers or
the chiefs of the Whig ranks. But in party
warfare, ordinary laws and rules are easily
dispensed with. For thirty years England
has held no such influence in continental poli
tics as that which Lord Stanley won for her
at the London Conference. Such influence
Whig ministers have sought eagerly and per
sistently to gain not in pacific and friendly
conference, but by such loud and angry pro
testations as Lord Russell indulged in pro
miscuously before the spoliation of Denmark.
It is doubtless true, as Lord Stanley's assail
ants aver, that the whistle may have to be
paid for some day. But it is too late now to
raise the question of cost. If the disposition
to be made of Luxembourg was nothing to
England, it was competent for Parliament to
declare itself against the Peace Conference
before it was held, or at least to forbid the
Foreign Minister from taking part in its de
liberations. JNo such opposition was heard of,
until the Minister annouueed to the Commons
that a basis of peace had been agreed upon.
Thenceforth, the whole thing resolved itself,
in the Whig mind, into a great party achieve
ment to disparage which has now become
a party duty very feebly performed thus
far, as we should judge from Mr. Labouchere's
effort.
A Uniform Monetary Syatemfor all Com.
merctal Nation.
From the Herald.
It is said that the French Government has
invited the European powers to an interna
tional conference on monetary matt ters, which it
is probable will be held in Paris or Brussels this
month, and that England, Switzerland, Italy,
Belgium, Portugal, and Spain are reported to
have promised cooperation. We do not know
what the speciflo purpose or plan of the French
Government is, whether it is to make a uni
form monetary system for the commercial
nations of the world, or for any less compre
hensive object; but it is a good movement,
and in the end may lead to that uniformity
which is so desirable. There are difficulties in
the way, undoubtedly, and particularly with
England, where there is a strong prejudice in
favor of the old pound sterling system, and
where they make a good deal out of foreign
nations in the way of exchange based upon
that system. Still there is reason to hope
that England may yield to the enlightened
progress and necessity of the age, as she is
reported to be a party to the proposed inter
national conference. The United States
Government is not mentioned as one of the
parties, but we can hardly suppose it was not
invited, or would neglect being represented.
In fact, our position as one of the first com
mercial nations, and as destined to be within
a short time the very first, entitles and calls
upon us to take a prominent part in such a
VV4llViVlltU
The present is a most favorable time for the
purpose, and Paris just now is the place to
hold the conference.' The whole world is
represented there more fully than ever before.
The Great Exhibition, with the congregation of
sovereigns and statesmen there, ami the libe
ralizing tendency of all that, make the present
time most propitious to establish a uniform
monetary system for all nations. If the Em
peror Napoleon should be the instrument of
accomplishing this, he will add greatly to his
renown. History would give him greater
honor for this than for anything he could do
in the way of military achievements. France
has already accomplished a great deal in sim
plifying, both upon scientific and common
sense principles, the system of weights and
measures. The .metrical system which she
has established is undoubtedly the best, and
should be universally adopted.
Let her Government now take the Initiative
in Enrope for the adoption of our simple and
beautiful decimal system of money. Now is
the time to sweep away the old incongruous
and diversified denominations of money. In
place of the pound sterling, with its subdivi
sions of shillings and pence, of the frano, of
the guilder, of the doubloon, and of all the
numerous denominations and values of money,
let the simple decimal system be universally
adopted by international agreement. It
would be of immense advantage to the general
commerce of the world. In the course of a
few years the people of every nation would
realize the benefit so sensibly that they would
wonder how it was such a necessary improve
ment was not made before. We hope, there
fore, the proposed international conference
will be held, and that a uniform monetary
system may be adopted for the whole civilized
world.
Concerning- Rebel and Their Punish
ment. Frim the World.
Mr. John Stuart Mill, in his speech at the
Reform meeting in London, promulgate views
on the subject of punishing the Fenians, and
rebellion in general, very analogous to those
of Mr. Buchanan on the subject of secession.
In his message to Congress, at its assemblage
just after the election of Lincoln, Mr. Buchanan
denied the right of secession, but was equally
clear against the existence of any constitu
tional power to coerce States. Mr. Mill is not
very clear as to the right iu the question of
the Fenian uprising, though, when he savs
that the people of England, so soon as they
have obtained political power, will do justice
to those oi Ireland, he may be fairly construed
as meaning that the insurrection wa3 not
altogether unjustihable. Rebellion, however,
right or wrong, must be punished, he says,
for there must be a check upon the disposi
tion of men to appeal to arms, and involve
society in civil war. Ihe punishment should
be mud, not extending to life, and limited to
imprisonment for such a time as may be
necessary to insure the tranquillity of the
State.
It is rather a dangerous admission for an
associate of Beales to make, that rebellion
should, under all circumstances, be punished.
Hardly, too, is it consistent with the creed of
a reformer and extreme advocate of universal
suffrage, to hold thesword of justice over the
heads of those who, under any pretext what
soever, resort to what is often the only pos
sible mode of recovering or establishing popu
lar rights. Neither does it seem altogether
compatible with the rigorous logic, the ex
pounding and inculcating of which forms so
great a part of the work of Mr. Mill's life,
to say that unsuccessful rebellion, even if
rightful, must be punished as a matter of ex
pediency. Thrown into the syllogistio form
and analyzed with that critical acumen which
remorselessly cuts the iutrioate web of falla
cious argument, he would with difficulty allow
the universal conclusion from the partial pre
mises. Of course, if success be the only cri
terion of right and wrong, a great portion of
the difficulty is at once disposed of, and prac
tically this is, no doubt, - destined to be the
case until we attain the "high priori road" in
the shape of a universal science, which Mr.
Mill does not despair of in fruitful nature.
l'aley, in the last century, considered it
sound philosophy and good Whig doctrine
that an occasional revolution was beneficial to
liberty by breaking the bonds of custom and
forcing Governments, Ant;eus-like, again to
gather strength from contact with the people.
A mild revolution, like that of 1688, might, in
this view of the case, be looked upon as sim
ply a gentle alterative, expelling vloious
humors, and restoring the purity ot the blood.
, Whether, however, Mr. Mill be logically
correct or not, it is gratifying to see humane
views set forth by a man of mark and influ
ence with the masses. It is to be hoped that
his radical admirers here will apply his pre
cepts in the future, though they have cer
tainly shown no such moderation in the past.
That bigoted old Tory, as he is considered,
Alison, it is true, went still farther, maintain
ing that political prisoners should not be
punished at all, or only by exile where abso
lutely essentially to internal quiet. He, how
ever, who has reflected on the history of the
past six years, will not be disappointed if he
finds the loudest liberals in speech lagging
behind absolutists in practice.
