Lincoln and Johnson - A Contrast.
A correspondent, who takes exoeption to an
article of ours published a few dajs since, on
llie attempted nullification of the Reconstruc
tion law by the rresident,and in which we spoke
cf Mr. Johnson's having created the so-called
State Governments in the late Rebel States
toiU.mil the authority of law, and by a usur
pation of legislative functions, desires to know ,
. . J-.!-,- XT. Tnl.nann "Hill not fol- 1

low in the wake of our late lamented Presi
dent Lincoln?"
In reply, we might say that we do not re
gard Mr. Lincoln's action while he occupied
the office of President as in all respects a safe
precedent for his successors to follow. Mr.
Lincoln administered the Government during
a season of actual, flagrant war war upon a
gigantio scale, and which called forth all the
energies of the nation to save itself from
destruction. Of necessity, he resorted to many
things during this condition of war which
Would be out of place and highly inconsistent
as a settled policy in a time of peace. And
this broad distinction is to be observed between
Mr. Lincoln's action with reference to provi
sional Governments in the Rebel States, and
Mr. Johnson's attempt to create not provi- ,
Cional but permanent State Governments there.
Mr. Lincoln's action was purely tentative, ex
perimental, provisional, and taken with
direct reference to assisting in the great work
of bringing the war to a successtul close. Mr.
Johnson, on the contrary, undertook to
establish a "policy" for a time of peaoe, as a
permanent thing, and by his own mere ipse
dixit to settle the entire vast problem of recon
etruction. Even, therefore, if Mr. Johnson
Lad strictly followed Mr. Lincoln's example,
Ke should by no means have held him justi
fied, because acting in altogether different cir
cumstances. Mr. Lincoln's measures were
purely war measures; Mr. Johnson's measures
Were intended to force a permanent political
policy, covering all the great questions which
tad grown out of the war, upon the country,
Without regard to the will of the people.
But Mr. Johnson did not follow in the wake
Of the lamented President Lincoln in the
matter of creating Provisional Governments in
the Rebel States. The lines of policy adopted
ly the two men were as widely different as
their respective characters as diverse as the
mildness, wisdom, and moderation of the one
Were opposite to the egotism, violence, and
vanity of the other.
Mr. Lincoln had no fixed plan of reconstruc
tion. Accompanying his annual message of
1863 he sketched a plan after which the peo
ple of any of the Rebel States might proceed,
f their own motion, to organize loyal State
Governments, which he agreed ta recognize
and protect. Hut he took special pains to
then state that his plan did not excludo others.
And when Congress passed a law providing a
plan of reconstruction, although Mr. Lincoln
refused to sign the bill, on the ground that he
did not wish to commit himself inflexibly to
any single plan of reconstruction, he still
avowed his satisfaction with this plan as one
very proper for the people of any State to
adopt, and proferred Executive ail and assist
ance to any such as might be disposed to
adopt It.
During the war Mr. Lincoln's great anxiety
was to get a loyal organization of almost any
kind in the Rebel States, and it made but
little difference to him how or upon what
plan it was accomplished. It became a nucleus
for a loyal sentiment to crystallize about.
But Mr. Lincoln attached no idea of sanctity,
or even of legality, to these provisional orga
nizations. He did not assume that they had
the right of representation in the Union.
When Representatives and Senators from
these provisional organizations presented
themselves for admission to Congress, he
never thought of attempting to brin a
pressure to bear upon that body to secure
that end.. He signed the joint resolution ex
cluding these very organizations from partici
pation in the. Presidential election of 1864- and
in the last publio address that he ever made
lie plainly declared that he would not con
tinue to support the State organization in
Louisiana, should it prove adverse to the
publio interest. In short, Mr. Lincoln re
garded those organizations as purely provisional
and temporary, liable at any moment to be
Superseded, subject to the recognition and
endorsement of Congress before they could
participate in the political power of the nation,
and in no sense as thoroughly reconstructed
States, entitled to claim full rights and powers
lu the Union.
Mr. Johnson, on the other hand, after the
War was entirely over, undertook to settle the
Whole problem of reconstruction himself. The
organizations which he created he assumed to
he perman ent and final, and binding upon all
the departments of the Government. He
claimed at once that these creations of his
Wore already entitled to participate in the
government of the country; that they were
'States" possessed of all the rights aud powers
Cf States in the Union, beyond any rightful
Supervision or control of Congress. He had
Settled the whole matter according to hia own
good pleasure, and Congress had nothing to do
lVLt to register his edicts.
In tiie method of organization, too, there
$M a point worthy ot Attention. Mr, Lincoln
riTH DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
appointed, military governors in a time of
actual war, but be created no new office. He
merely detailed an officor already bolonging to
the army, who had been regularly appointed
and confirmed, to perform a specific duty.
Before Andrew Johnson was detailed to act as
Military Governor of Tennessee, he was regu
larly appointed and confirmed as an officer in
the army. But Mr. Johnson undertook to
create a new office, unknown to tho Constitu
tion and the laws, viz., that of Provisional
Governor ; aud he appointed persons from pri
vate life to this illegal office, without the ad
vice and consont of the Senate. Here was an
act of direct and flagrant usurpation.
We might continuo to trace the contrasts
between Mr. Lincoln's policy aud Mr. John
son's, but it would be a work of supereroga
tion. Mr. Johnson never followed the policy
of Mr. Lincoln, and never intended to. The
whole history of his administration reveals
more incoutestably from day to day, the fact
that his design of treachery to the principles
and policy of that great party which had
honored him with its confidence and its up
port, was early formed, and persistently car
ried out. .
The Chaste Debate in Common Council
on the President's Reception.
It seems as though our city is to be continu
ally disgraced by the disgusting vulgarity of
gome of her Councilman. Whenever a motion
is " made in Common Council which is
inherently right, and demanded by a sense of
propriety or the needs of the people, there is
every probability that it will meet with a
defeat. The people are gradually beginning
to view the city fathers not only with distrust,
but shame; and positively, every Friday we
feel afraid to read their proceedings, lest some
new disgrace shall have been heaped upon our
city. But the crowning blemish on the fair
fame of Philadelphia was produced yesterday,
by the debate in Common Council on the reso
lution to extend the hospitalities of our city to
the President of the United States. Our posi
tion in regard to Mr. Andrew Johnson is so
well known to all who have followed the senti
ments of this journal, that it would be idle to
reiterate them here.
Personally we feel no respect for Mr. John,
son; politically we hold him unworthy of
respect, because of his abandonment of his
party, professions, and principles. There can,
therefore, be no error on the part of our
readers in regard to our political views. But
we have always maintained that a proper
respect is due the office, whoever may be the
occupant. In honoring the President of the
United States, we honor our nation and our
selves. It is not respeot for Mr. Andrew
Johnson which leads us to tender him the
hospitalities of our city. It is self-respect
which calls for such an action, and those who
oppose such a resolution are destitute of that
quality. Yet Common Council yesterday
deliberately listened to a set of harangues
vilely abusive of the Executive of the United
States, many of the statements contained in
which are without a shadow f truth, and
all of which are characterized by an ignorant
vulgarity which would have been tolerated
in no other assemblage except a Common
Council. Nor can we say that there were but
one or two members who thus disgraced them
selves; there were a number.
The first to make himself ridiculous was Mr.
Hancock. We are not surprised at his ap
pearing foremost in a comedy, for there is
seldom a needed bill which is proposed against
which Mr. Hancock does not record his vote. He
commenced by stating he was in favor of the
resolutions, and attempted to be facetious,
getting off a poor witticism. But just as we
are congratulating ourselves that for once Mr.
Hancock has acted with some show of sense,
we find him on his feet opposing the bill he
previously favored, merely because he found
that the Democratic members were going to
vote on the same side. His second speech is
in the real Hancockian style. He said: " We
are politicians. We come to Councils as poli-
icians, and we live iy politics.1' ' This is cer
ainly a very frank confession. The members
of Common Council "live by politics." How ?
The Councilmen receive no salaries according
to law, yet Mr. Hancock declares that his posi
tion is his means of support. He must of
necessity rely on the little "perquisites" of his
post, and support his family on what pickings
lie can obtain. No wonder that no bill which
is needed only for the publio good, and backed
by nothing but its merits, can receive his vote.
He was followed by Mr. Wagner, who took
ground in opposition; but the palm was re
Berved for Robert M. Evans. "No pent-up
Utica confined his powers." He opened the
vast field of politics, and proceeded to review
the policy of the Administration. He talked
of cartels and exchanges, of the pardoning
Tower and of John II. Surratt, and of a dozen
other topics, which had no connection with the
subject, and of which he knew nothing. When
we want to be instructed in politics we will
select some other tutors than members of
common Council. The people sent them into
office to pass needed local legation. Tl,a
climax, however, was reached by a member
wau.eu merlon. That centleman annnsflrl Mr.
Johnson of murdering Mr. Lincoln. He elo
quently observed that "Andrew Johnsoa had
the blood-stains of Mr. Lincoln upon his

With this elegant expression Merahou sub
sided. Many of the seats occupied by the
courtly gentlemen of years gone by are now
filled by the present members of the MersUon
stripe ! The mantle of the polite legislators
of other days has fallen on these men, and they
are now entitled to legislate for the gentlemen
of Philadelphia! When we see such vulgar
conduct, we find our faith wavering in the

principles of popular elections, and feel almost
Inclined to favor any system which would rid
ua of such a disgrace as sending these men
to rule over ns. Finally, Evans uttered
another vulgar tirade, and the question was
reached, when these wily politicians, in the
frantlo effort to make political capital, refused
to answer to their names, and the Chamber,
having no quorum, adjourned.
Such was the scene whioh took place yester
day, and we blush when we record it. That
these men Bhould be the representatives of
Philadelphia, with all her traditional pride
and gentlemanly courtesy, is a disgrace which
we cannot calmly contemplate. We are glad
that all the Councilmen did not join in these
violent and indecent, as well as foolish, at
tacks; but that some were found to raise
their voices in favor of extending a courtesy
to the President of the United States. We
thank Messrs. Littleton and Hetzell for their
efforts in favor of the resolution, and are glad
that Messrs. Simpson and Harper, although
they opposed the motion, did so in a courteous
and respectable manner. We are surprised
that the President, Mr. Marcer, allowed such
a debate. It was not pertinent to the ques
tion. The Councils of Philadelphia are not
the bar at which the President should answer.
If the resolution were offered, they should
have merely voted it down. But to allow such
a debate reflects severely on the President Of
Common Council and on the majority, which
failed at once to put a stop to such exhibi
tions by calling the previous question.

With singular felicity, this buccaneer, still
under ban, was selected as the most Citing man
to present the national colors to a certain steam
boat. His remarks were in keeping with the
taste which chose him "to restore, as it were,"
in his own delicate phrase, "the Star Spangled
Banner to the mast-head of the merchant ship
from which, in times gone by, I have so often
caused it to descend." This is a pretty brag

It is currently reported tn London that Joffer-
son Davis Is about to visit England as the guet
of ihe Duke of Sutherland, and the fact that the
Duke is the intimate fiiend of tho Piince of
Wales is supposed to lend to the story a political
complexion. Very little confidence, however,
in such an interpretation of the rumor will be
felt by any one who recalls the traditional hos
tility of the House of Sutherland to nesrro slavery,
and remembers that the dowager Duchess, the
mother of the present Duke, is the friend of
Harriet Beecher Stowe. and was throughout the
war the warm friend of tho American Union.
Babon von Becst, the present Prime Minister
