THE NEW YORK PRESS. WTOBIAt OPHUOHB OP TDK I.BAIIN1 JOURNALS UPOJt CCRFKHT TOriCB COMPILED EVER1 DAT FOB TH BVENINO TKLEOBATH. The President and the Country, From tM Tribune. Certain newspapers differ with the course of tlie Tribune in reference to the opinion of Mr. Etanbeiy, because we are "too radical." We ao not strive to r-lease or displease what Is called the radical sentiment. We r8iinii We occasionally do both. We endeavor to do What la best for truth and liberty, caring little Who are pleased. Such differences generally come right In the end. Nothing can wait bo long as Justice. Wedenounced Mr. Stanbery's opinion not because we desired to be radical, but because we saw in it an evidence of bad faith towarda the country on the part of the president. We" think Congress will meet in July, lending Republican members have requested a full attendance. The country seems to think that Reconstruction should be settled Ht onoe. We trust it will not be an angry jneetlng. Our friends will come full of ear nestness and purpose. They will feel, we fear, as men who have been deceived. In passing the bill, they listened to moderate counsels. We know what a struggle it cost to induce moderation. The struggle will be greater now. Mr. Stevens and nis friends, who were defeated in the attempt to place the military power under the control of Grant, will make a bolder effort. We shall have con fiscation, perhaps, and land to the negro pressed by a small minority. We do not think It will be wise to make new issues, and We counsel moderation "with justice, as we flid daring the last session. We dread to re open this question, beoause with it comes un certainty and unrest, feverishness, endless nd angry disoussions. We find a sentiment In the West that has expression in a few miserable, Jobbing newspapers a kind of. Thenardier feeling. A number of office-beggars and politicians, calling themselves the Grand Army of the Republic, and meeting in outkf-the-way plaoe3 with grips and pass Words, are passing resolutions demanding con fiscation and farms. This is either knavery or madness. People who want farms work for them. The only class we know that takes other people's property because they want it Is largely represented in Sing Sing. The people of this country do not want Sing Sing and Mexican banditti principles introduced into their statesmanship. We can never recon struct America by the gallows and the deputy eheriff, and we trust that the spirit of kindness Will prevail especially because this contest is Hot made by the Southern people. They ao cepted the Military bill manfully, and have endeavored to act under its provisions. In stead of apathy, and wrath, and discontent, We have found them eager and painstaking in their effort to reorganize their political sys tem under the Military bill. If the work is arrested, they are not to blame; and we have no right to increase the conditions imposed last March. If anything, we should recognize the temper of the South by limitiug them. The only issue is with the President of the United States. We can best understand the magnitude of the President's wrong when we consider what might have been in the South if reconstruc tion had progressed. As we have shown, the passage of the Military bill was a measure of peace. The country became instantly calm. All old issues seemed to die. The spirit of agitation was hushed, and we walked amid the ruins anxious to build up and adorn. In the South the people addressed themselves to fanning and education. In the North we dis missed reconstruction, and discussed our finances, and tariffs, our relations with foreign nations, and the resumption of specie pay ments. The Administration travelled to the North Pole for the glory of annexation. Trade legan to revive, and we looked eagerly for the coming harvests to flood the country with money. We Beemed to be a peaceful people. We believed in the triumph of reconstruction In the South. The negro accepted his new condition with equanimity and patience, anxious to educate himself for his high duty. We saw achieved all that the most enthusiastio patriot ever Loped to see. Successful in war, feared by the nations, victorious over a rebellion aided ' by the sympathies or foreign monarchies, ana Bo serene in our triumph that we disdained to degrade it by mere man-slaying, as if the Valor of a million men aould only be satisfied by a rope. All the blessing of triumphant eace seemed suddenly to fall upon us. We ooked for a full Electoral College in 18G8, and a President who, for the first time in Our history, was really the choice of the American people. We believe this might have been done so swiftly, and so well, that when Mr. Colfax called the House together next December he would have found a full Republican delegation from the Southern States standing at the door. The President is not satisfied with this, and lie comes upon the scene to mar it. lie may Postpone reconstruction, bnt he cannot stop it. "hia nation has made up its mind that the republio shall be reunited on the basis of jus tice. No man can prevent it. Probably it is radical to say so, but we only say what every Sensible man in the country believes. We want Congress to oome together in the spirit of peace and magnanimity, determined to avoid evil counsels, only doing what is wise and kind. The issue is with the President, and not with the South, and we can best sue how much the President has injured tho South by looking at the prospect, and then thinking of what might have been if prudence had con trolled the councils at Washington. The Insurrectionary War In Crate. from the Herald. Sinoe the extinction of Poland, through the combined action of Russia, Austria, and Prus sia, no greater wrong has been perpetrated or permitted in Europe than that which ia now loing committed in Crete. No one can deny the right of a government to strive to put down rebellion within the circle of its own sove reignty. It ia not for us, after the Btruggle through whioh we have reoently passed, to deny that right. It is extremely difficult to determine how long the insurrectionary strug gle must be prolonged before the party in re illion are entitled to the support and protec tion of the neighboring States and nations. 1'our years of practical independence did not reconcile ns to tne inougm 01 interference in any shape or form by other nations in favor of the South. The Cretan struggle has lasted ecaroelv a rear. Unless, therefore, Crete ia to Im considered an exceptional case, it is difficult to show reason why Turkey should desist in Ler endeavors to put down the rebellion in that island. . Crete, however, ia an exceptional case, and it ia precisely for this reason we say that the oontinuanco of this Btruggle ia a THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, grievous wrong to the Cretans, and refleots dishonor on the great contracting powers of Europe. Crete suffered her first great wrong a wrong out of which all this trouble has sprung when she was handed over )j the allied powers to the Viceroy of Egypt in 1830. Matters were not mended when, after ten years of misrulo, she was restored to the Ottoman Government in 18-10. The majority of the population are Greek and Christian. Their sympathies are all with the Greeks of the kingdom, their brethren by race and by religion. When the independency of Greece was guaranteed in 1831, Crete ought to have been Included; and the neglect of the rights of the Cretans at that time must remain a strik ing illustration of the selfish and unprincipled character of European diplomacy during the first half of the nineteenth century. It is difficult to believe that the European Govern ments have been indifferent to the heroio struggle which the Cretans have maintained against their Turkish masters during the last twelve months. Nothing, we have reason to believe, but the unsatisfactory condition of the Greek king dom lias prevented them from Jointly instat ing on the annexation of the island to Greece. The Ionian Islands, so recently and so gene rously handed over by England to the Greek Government, are, it is now notorious, relapsing into anarchy and misrule. Greece, whatever the cause, has hitherto proved herself sadly wanting in recuperative energy. It has not been nniforinly and Jointly insisted upon by the great powers that Crete should be trans ferred from the Government of the Porte to the Government of the Greek kingdom, because it has not been clear that Crete would benefit by the change. It may be difficult to say what it is best to do with the unhappy islanders, under the circumstances; but it ia now no longer doubtful that the time has fully come when the great powers ought to interfere to prevent this unnecessary and wholesale butchery. A Summer Session Congress and the President. Prom the Time. Except in obedience to an obvious necessity, a summer session of Congress ia on every ground undesirable. It will be a disturbing element which the trade and industry of the country can ill afford to encounter. It will seem to unsettle everything, whether it actu ally do so or not. It will excite the fears of the South, whose progress towards reconstruc tion is most satisfactory, and will for the time paralyze the efforts of those of the Southern leaders who urge the final character of the existing law. And it will afford an opportu nity which the advocates of extreme measures will turn to account. Impeachment, confisca tion, and penalties and disabilities without number will in turn be ventilated, with the certainty Of adding to prevailing irritation, and a probability of mischief to both North and South. These are not contingencies to which the country should be exposed for tho gratification of partisan rancor, or to obviate the mere possibility of wrong-doing on the part of the President. We are not prepared, however, to oppose an early assembling of Congress if the danger which many profess to anticipate actually arise. If the President adopt the opinion of the Attorney-General as his rule of action in the administration of the Reconstruction acts if he reverse the proceedings of the Com manding Generals and reinstate in office the persons they have removed if by his orders to the registers he confers the franchise upon classes whom Congress has evidently intended to disqualify the interference of Congress will be inevitable. If he treat the Southern Governments as lawful Governments and the military authority as a Bimple police force, in direct contravention of the purposes of Con gress, further legislation will be requisite, as well to undo the acts of the President as to render the future interpretation of the law so clear and decisive that no legal ingenuity can affect it. In that case Congress will be held to perform its duty, and no more. The charge that it seeks a pretext for multiplying the dis abilities and delaying the admission of the South will fall to the ground. Its action will be vindicated a3 in harmony with its record, and with the inflexible determination of the States it represents. liut let us first seo what the President doos, or proposes to do, in regard to the removals which are reported to be under his considera tion. The fact that he may disregard the in tent of the law is not a reason for assuming that he will violate it. The publication of the Attorney-General's opinion does not form proof that it will be the guide of the Execu tive policy. So far, it is admitted, the Presi dent has interposed no obstacle to the work ing of the law. The Generals he selected have the confidence of the country, and they have been allowed to be masters of the situation. Is it just to assume that he will henceforward pursue a less discreet course, pregnant as it must be with evil to the section with which he is alleged to unduly sympathize? Is it reasonable to suppose that he will forget his own helplessness as against Congress, and. that he will wantonly provoke a renewal of a conllict which must end in his further mortifi cation and discomfiture f We have less faith in his judgment than in his honesty, but we are not prepared to believe him ready to in terrupt the present working of the Reconstruc tion law in a manner that would at once pro voke and justify the resentment of Congress. And, therefore, we deem it better to wait for the occasion that would warrant a reassem bling of that body rather than to anticipate its occurrence, and to make that anticipation the basis of more stringent legislation. An answer to this suggestion is ready, we are aware. Congress adjourned to the 3d of July, and it must meet then or await the com mencement of the regular session in December. In the five intervening months, we shall be told, the President may do as he pleaseB with out hit or hindrance from the law-making power. The possibilities of euch a period, iu view of the President's knownMesires, ought not to be ignored; and if a July session were the only means of guarding against them, it and its attendant mischief might be borne with patience. Ihere i, however, an easy and effectual method of providing for this form of peril. Congress may formally assemble in July and adjourn subject to the call of the chief officer of either Chamber. If this be done, the disposition attributed to the President will be completely thwarted: he will realize the folly of attempting what Congress may at any moment Bet aside. The country, too will find in the restrained tomper of Congress the best evidence of its strength, and the move ment towarda reconstruction in the South will be strengthened by the assurance thus given that the law as it stands, and as now inter preted by the Generals in oommand, fulfils all the requirements of the Republican party. On the supposition that this the more mode rate view does not prevail, and that a July session be proceeded with as a means of ob viating bad faith and possible difficulty, it is exceedingly desirable that the proviso whioh the telegraph represents Mr. Fessenden to have suggested, should regulate the proceed ings of the session. Mr. Fesseuden will at tend, the telograph says, with the understand ing that tho business shall be restricted to the consideration of amendments to the Recon struction acts, rendered necopsary by the statements of the Attorney-General. He will not attend if impeachment and other extreme projects are to be topics of discussion. Such a limitation would prevent the exciting and injurious effects which must otherwise attend a summer session, while it will in no respect hinder full and conclusive action In regard to the powers of the military commanders and the operation of the reconstruction scheme. A Session of Congress In July. From tfie Herald. There is now a probability of an extra ses sion of Congress in July. It is reported that Senator Wade and the leading Congressmen and other Republicans with him in the excur sion party telegraphed General Schenok, of the Congressional Committee at Washington, to advise all Republican members to be present in July. Other movements as well in the Re publican party and among its leaders show that there is a desire, if not a fixed purpose, to have a session at that time. The object ia said to be to remove all legal obstructions to the reconstruction of the Rebel States, thus evidently referring to the official opinions of the Attorney-General as tending to obstruct reconstruction. We think it very unfortu nate that the work of reconstruction, which was going on well, and promising early resto ration to the South, should be retarded either by the action of the military commanders or by the legal quibbling of the Executive. It would be much better to have reconstruc tion accomplished under the present acts with out any further action by Congress, and by the time Congress would assemble in December; but if there are obstructions in the way we hope that body will promptly remove them. Early reconstruction is the great necessity of the country, commerce, the industrial in terests of the country, the national finances, political harmony all demand speedy restora tion. There is, however, another question Bcarcely less urgently demanding the attention rtf Pnnf.noB .nil flint fa 1 n .anB.il (a national banks. The condition of these insti tutions, and the trouble they will bring upon the country if permitted to exist, call for imme diate attention. If there be an extra session in July the reconstruction matter can Boon bedis posed of, and then we hope Congress will pro ceed to overhaul the national banks and repeal the act creating them. The Theatres and the Critics. Ftom the World. Certain callow critics continue to cry over and declaim against the decadence and degene racy of the drama in this city. They evidently take their tone from a city Journal which is notoriously so poor authority in matters theatrical, that not one of the leading places of amusement considers the paper worth adver tising in, which was obliged itself to adver tise for critics to "do" Ristori in its columns; which ignores the season in the Academy of Music, and prints panegyrics upon the per formances at "Tony Taster's Opera House;" and which never knows when Edwin Booth plays "Hamlet" or "Richelieu," but keeps its readers fully informed about the doings of Messrs. Griffin & Christy's Minstrels. With regard to the critics, who are captious about the Black Creole, and who mourn over the decay of the legitimate drama, it i3 noticeable that they all think that "Mr. Anguatin Daly's well-known version of Leah" is a most com mendable affair, and that Shamus O'Brien, introducing Mr. Dan Bryant and an Irish jig to music composed by Mr. John Brougham, ought to draw the best of houses. When Booth was playing the legitimate drama last winter, and Dawison and other theatrical stars were doing their best to gratify the public, we do not remember that these critics much commended public taste in patronizing these actors, nor that the criti cisms of their playing were especially elabo rate or profound. But the real place of the spectacular drama has not yet been set down by competent critics. Managers, to whom publio taste is chiefly an affair of greenbacks as they hit it, or poverty as they do not, have discovered that spectacles like the Black Crook pay. Yet few competent observers will deny that the Black Crook is a means of cul ture to a majority of the people who see it. The eye as well as the ear is to be educated and gratified, and if the importers of this play were to bring out next year Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, which is now so splen did a success on the boards of the Princess' Theatre in London, and is successful mainly because it is presented solely as a superb spectacle, it would be not less popular in this city, and would show that Shakespeare him self may gain new friends and admirers if the "sensational" and "spectacular" are added to his text. Messrs. Booth and Stuart were apt enough when they appealed to precisely this publio taste in their magnificent revivals of JJamlet and the Merchant of 1 enice. We take the following list of the playa pre sented in London June 4, to show that public taste at present demands the same sort of per formances in London that are now popular in this city; Hmal Jtaltttn Oirra.Tm Curies, "with new sceuery, costumes, and decorations." 1 i- Mojetty'i l'hralri:.b'hWUo. ltrury J.uiir.
