General Sheridan.
fyom the Tribune.
The ZVme thinks Sheridan is dreadfully In
subordinate by reason of bis despatch to
rant. The language Is "Tery unusual and
xtraordinary," and the Timet remembers no
'parallel to It In recent military' history."
It sees more temper In Sheridan "than Is be
coming the position he holds," and thinks the
people would "prefer to await the legitimate
and regular action of Congress to correct the
evils rather than permit individual officers to
eject ibe authority 1 their superiors and
xeoute the law according to tlielr own judg
ment and wishes."
We understand how the Times would wish
to breakdown Bheridan, Just as we understand
liow the World is trying te break down Sickles.
These Generals are doing their work too well
riot to be assailed by journals which have no
sympathy with the work, and would rather
Hot see it done. In the case of Sheridan, the
Timet Is especially unjust. It presents Sheri
flan In the light of disobeying orders, and tra
versing the decision of the President. Yet, in
leading Sheridan's letter, we find he received
jio orders. lie was asked "to extend the
legislation," unless "he had some good rea
B6ns to the contrary," and he gives his rea
Bons, which seem to us very good: 1 That
lie had given the city two and a half months.
2, That there were no more to register. 3.
That he did not feel warranted in keeping up
lraards, at large expense, to Buit new Issues
coming in at the eleventh hour. 4. Stanbery's
order "practically in registration is opening a
broad, macadamized road for perjury and
fraud." 6. He began his work six months
Iwfore anybody else. After-giving these rea
sons, which were asked by his superior officer,
lie expresses a regret that he should differ
With the President, and says that if his rea
sons are not good enough, he will obey the
President's orders, adding, "I would do it at
once, but the President's telegram was condi
tional, and there is sufficient time left to issue
the necessary orders."
1 What is there in this to invite the severe
attack of the Timest Sheridan's letter is respect
ful, frank, prompt, loyal to his commanders.
Where is the "absolute insubordination?" lie
xeoeives a conditional order, to be obeyed
Unless there are "good reasons," and he states
them like a soldier and a man. The "insub
ordination" is in daring to have any opinion
but what would be agreeable to the President.
Because Sheridan thinks Stanbery's opinion
invites perjury and fraud, he is insubordinate I
Does n't it f Is Sheridan not right in his un
derstanding of that opinion, and may he not
find confirmation of his belief in the very
Timet which now holds up its hands in horror ?
We note this insidious attack upon Sheri
dan for a purpose. The friends of Johnson's
jxlicy intend to destroy the men upon whom
the ooBntry now depends in its hour of trial.
It pretends to doubt the wisdom of the Presi
dential interpretation, but it is quite willing to
S-aise a clamor against an illustrious soldier for
doing his duty honestly, frankly, as the people
expect it to be done. It accuses him of in
subordination and rudeness, and yet we find
the despatch to be respeotful and loyal. The
truth about Sheridan is, that his despatches
are never written for the President and the
2mea, but to say what he means to say. It
Was so last summer after the riots. Then
the difficulty was avoided by a little delicate
garbling and judicious elimination. There will
he no more of that, and since they cannot
tinker his despatches they misrepresent them.
Oar New Relation with Mexico Diplo
macy and "Old Clo"
From the Herald.
Mr. Seward, in his speech at Boston, entered
into a conditional engagement to give the peo.
pie of the United States "possession of the
American continent." Not in war, of course;
We have had enough of that. Nor doe3 Mr.
Seward's genius lie in that line. lie means to
acquire the continent by diplomacy or pur
chase, and he had his eye on Otterbourg
Marcus Otterbourg, our bran-new Minister to
the Mexican republic. Evidently this is the
Significance of the new appointment. With
these views it is not necessary that our Min
ister to Mexico should be a statesman or a
jnan of political sagacity or ability. There is
Jio policy to carry out only a purchase to
make and, therefore, all we want is a com
mercial agent. Otterbourg is the man a
shrewd trader, clearly, since he has driven
iia bargains so well with Mr. Seward that he
is now employed to drive Mr. Seward's bar
gains with others. Otterbourg Is & member
of that financiering race whose bargains
liave been memorable sinoe the day of
the thirty pieces of silver. Ilis ancestors
and brethren have thriven in all lands where
liumanlty, having reached the civilization of
the tailor, have fallen upon the inevitable
corollary of "old clothes." Indeed, some
friend to this ministerial Marcus writes us that
iie would be more fit to buy old clothes than to
snake treaties. This involuntary testimony to
the commercial ability of the new Minister
Would settle the case in any unprejudiced
Snlnd, and prove the fitness of the appointmeut
in view of Mr. Seward's present attitude; for
the Premier evidently regards Mexico as a
Sand Jumble of very offensive. "old clo'," and
arcus as Just the man to buy up the lot
'sheap as tirt." True, all men may not see
the case in this light. There are old fogies
among us conservative fellows, with notions
of dignity and such nonsense, who cannot
understand a fair trade, and will, perhaps,
Insist upon it that the United States and
Mexico are independent nations, whose diplo
xnatlo relations should be in the hands of men
of understanding and sagacity. It might,
Indeed, be argued from this standpoint that
Ho foreign mission is at this moment more

Whose oonduot we are in a degree respon

the Alabama claims, that may involve so much

man would be named for the place. Mr. Camp
bell's appointment did not satisfy the country,
even though he seemed to be fastened round
the neck of General Sherman; and when that
remarkable party was started the Moxioan
miflHlon was far less important than it is now
and now we have Otterbourg.
The State Department groans for a man fit
to represent the country at a very Importaut
point, and Otterbourg is brought forth. He is
either the sum of the diplomatic ability of the
nation, or our relations with the neighboring
republic have taken the shape of a straight
financial transaction, and Mexico is to be
bought up. On which foot do we stand? Is
Marcus a great genius, or are our Mexican re
lations on the old clothes basis Y There are
many reasons why Mexico might be Justly
treated as "old clo'," and bought and sold,
and, may be, even washed; are there any
why Marcus should be regarded as a great
man f Only one fact Is known of his career
as Consul in Mexioo. He was up to the ears
in the game of securing the recognition of the
empire by the United states. He has a friend
who has denied this; but the statement is true,
and it may be that Marcus does not let all his
friends into his little games. Does the new
Minister owe his appointment to his suocess in
the games played between .Mr. Seward and
the empire f Is it a reward f If not, what is
it ? Who can solve this diplomatic) mystery f
In the meantime, while the country waits for
the solution, wouldn't be well if Mr. Seward
should cut short his oratorioal pilgrimage,
hurry to Washington, and rack his brain to
see if he cannot some way improve upon this
appointment? 1 ,
The Extra Session Ite Kflect on BusU
neaa and Finance.
From the Timet.
The course of gold Is upward. There has
been no Budden rise, and no visible excite
ment, either as its cause or consequence.
And yet the fact that the movement is in the
direction of higher values is a circumstance
too significant to be overlooked by those who
would correctly estimate the financial and
business prospects of the country.
The tendency might be fairly supposed to
be the other way. The influence of the Trea
sury, so far as it is understood, is rated on
the side of greenback appreciation. There
is no heavy drain of gold for exportation.
The condition of the London money market,
the remarkable rise in English securities, and
the reported eagerness to purchase United
States bonds, are considerations which make
it morally certain that whatever balance may
be against us in foreign trade will for the
present be adjusted with bonds, not gold.
The crops, too, wear an aspect that gives no
encouragement to gold gambling. The grain
harvest promises everywhere to be bounteous,
and the cotton crop gives signs of a yield that
will restore comparative prosperity to many
portions of the South. In all probability,
therefore, we shall shortly send abroad pro
ducts that will turn the current of specie
hitherward, and effectually remove the only
conceivable source of commercial apprehension
as to-the price of gold.
For the present movement in its price, then,
we must seek for an explanation outside of
ordinary business considerations. And there
is no difficulty in determining where to fmd it.
The only lever that has for months past been
available to speculators in gold is of a political
nature. They have professed reliance upon
the disposition of Congress to oircumvent yet
more effectually the efforts of Mr. McCullooh
in favor of contraction. Some of them have
affirmed a belief in the likelihood of further
issues of national bank currency, and all have
operated on the hypothesis that the existing
inflation will be continued. These views have
imparted all the life .which the gold market
has recently possessed, and have prevented the
steady decline that would otherwise have been
inevitable.
An extra session of Congress will help these
speculative views immensely. From the
moment that it became probable, an unsettled
feeling has been discernible in the transactions
of the gold room, and now that it is a cer
tainty, we may look for renewed speculation.
Whether the anticipations of speculators be or
be not realized is, for their passing purposes,
a matter of no concern. It is enough that a
period of excitement at Washington is at hand,
and there will be no escape from its baneful
influence while the session continues.
The calculation is, that if a quorum be ob
tained on the 3d of July there will be little
difficulty in frustrating the efforts of those
who would limit the work of the session to
the amendment of the Reconstruction acts.
The more moderate Republicans will un
doubtedly endeavor to restrict the session to
the few days that will be required lor the per
formance of this specific task. But there are
other members who are resolved if possible
to extend the session, and reopen the vexa
tious questions which jeopardize the stability
of business and expose finance to the vicissi
tudes of gambling.
A Washington despatch to our neignoor,
the Tribune, reports a purpose in radioal
quarters to induce Speaker Colfax to "an
nounce the Committees immediately, so as to
be able to go right to work." What work?
The removal of doubts and misapprehensions
concerning reconstruction ? The making sure
of reconstruction according to the will of Con-
fress and against the will of the President ?
oubtless these points will receive attention.
But the work relerred to In the radioal despatch
is of another sort. Impeachment and the
overthrow of Secretary MoCulloch's present
financial policy are the great cards to be played.
And mark the confession which accompanies
the announcement ! "Those who are in favor
of a long session say if once a quorum is ob
tained the session will be kept up long enough
to settle definitely the question of impeach
ment." At any rate the attempt will be made
so to prolong the session, that time shall be
afforded for the agitation of the various
extreme projects which endanger the prosperity
of the country aud the unity of the Republican
party. . .- .,
Every intelli cent business man knows whit
the effect of such a session will be upon trade
and finance. Were the former in a thriving
condition, and the latter endowed with the
firmness which springs from well-founded con
fidence, the contingencies of ignorant and reck
less legislation would excite uneasiness. In
existing circumstances, however, more than
uneasiness will be created by the policy which
is now unblualiingly proclaimed. With trade
already depressed aud many branches of In
dustry paralyzed, the effect of radioal agita
tion on the ourrency question affecting as it
will all values must be disastrous. And
with timidity as the chief characteristic of
capital, what but alarm and difficulty can
attend the continuance in session of members
leagued together to carry out plans which are
not one whit more iniquitous than open re
pudiation ?
Imagine, moreover, the effect on business,
on the price of gold, and the value of all secu
rities, of a session prolonged "to settle defi
nitely the queation of impeachment," The
movement would be exceedingly injurious,
though no anxiety were felt in regard to Presi
dent Johnson's siiccoRROr'. Tlie mere mooting
of a proposition to carry partisanship to the
point of personal conflict with tlie Executive
would not benefit the publio credit anywhere.
But who can estimate the result, in a business
or financial sense, of a combination formed,
not pimply to remove Mr. Johnson, but to put
Mr. Wade in bis place ? Who can measure
the Impression that will be produced at home
or abroad by the protracted discussion of a
scheme designed to elevate to the Executive
chair a man who has pledged himself to
demand a more equal distribution of property,
and the enrichment of the laboror by acts of
Congress ?
These are inquiries which every man who
has anything to lose should try to answer
frankly and in time. At Buch a period, in
the presence of possibilities so evidently
fraught with peril, none should be indifferent.
We Lear that fears are expressed among the
merchants and moneyed men of this city, aud
advices from Washington speak of letters
received there, urging the avoidance of all
questions Bave that of reconstruction. Some
thing more than individual suggestion or re
monstrance Is needed, however, to thwart the
plans of mischief-makers. Congress needs to
: be reminded of the fact that the country can
not safely endure an agitation that would
sacrifice the interests of trade, and shake the
balance of finance, at the bidding of a malig
nant and insatiate partisanship.

There are just two objects alternative
that every Republican, crystalloid or colloid,
radical or conservative, keeps steadily in
view the protracted exclusion of the South
ern States; or the constraining them to or
ganize "decisive and trustworthy (Republi
can) majorities." Let the ten Southern
States appear at Washington with Republi
can majorities, and there would no more be
obstacles in the way of their readmission to
every federal function than there are hin
drances in the path of omnipotence. Every
impediment would be melted before them.
Confiscation would be a bugbear for babes,
and amnesties and pardons would be so
cheap that nobody would take the trouble to
procure them. Let the Southern States ap
pear at Washington not with Republican
majorities, and their exclusion is inevitable
until after the Presidential election; unless
the North itself refuses to permit these despe
rate politicians to gamble longer with the pros
' perity and unity of the country. For these
politicians are equally ruined whenever the
South returns to swell the Democratio minority
into a majority,' or whenever the North
recovers its senses; and they but make a cool
calculation of chanoes when, foreseeing ruin
inevitable by one or the other course, they
reckon upon the longest postponement of that
ruin. "Decisive and trustworthy (Repub
lican) majorities" would save them; for these
they have worked desperately, but without an
assurance of success. Shut up to defeat from
the North or defeat from the South, Republi
canism plays desperately to keep the South
out of the Presidential election which would
be defeat, prompt, immediate, and certain
preferring a struggle, a four years' lease of
Eower at any rate if they succeed, with the
ope in the struggle that the tide of fanaticism
has not entirely ebbed, and that their posses
sion of nearly every State and the Federal
Government will carry them through.
The success of the Republican party at the
South would never have been dreamed of, ex
cept through the negro vote. Therefore, a
constitutional principle which no man of any
party ever before disputed the right of every
State to distribute the franchise to its own
citizens was'deliberately overridden by them,
and the suffrage forced out of State control
and into the negro's hands by Federal power.
The experiment turned out less well than was
expected. Negroes in the cities were more or
less to be humbugged by radical emissaries,
but not the most intelligent among them,
nor the negro of the rural distriots. There
fore, a more extensive disfranchisement of
white votes than had at first been pro
vided for in the Military Depotism bill
was found necessary to the organizing
of "decisive and trustworthy (Republi
can) majorities," and that more extended
disfranchisement has been sought in every
possible way. False reports have been circu
lated by the press, by some of the generals
and their subordinates in command, and con
stant efforts made by the Freedmen's Bureau
officers to keep white Southern men from the
polls who have a right to go there even under
the law of Congress. Attorney -General Stan
bery's opinion a mere plain, unstrained in
terpretation of the law was likely to enlarge
the white vote up to the limits permitted by
the Military bill, which would have been fatal
to the organizing of ''decisive and trustworthy
(Republican) majorities" therefore Attorney
General Stanbery's opinion was pounced upon
by the more rabid and reckless radicals as a
pretext for a July session. The opposition to
a July session comes only from those who be
lieve that harsher exclusions added to the
Military bill will alienate more Republican
votes at the North than it shuts out white op
position votes at the South. When Congress
meets in the July session the failure or the
success of every item of proposed legislation
may be infallibly forecast by anybody who
will simply consider its bearings on the alter
native we have named the protracted exclu
sion of the Southern States or the constrain
ing them to organize "decisive and trust
: worthy (Republican) majorities. "
This, indeed, we should not have thought it
necessary to reiterate, but that it has been
denied with some effrontery by the Tribune;
for the Republican Congressional Committee
i distinctly avowed their purpose at a moment
when everybody was regarding the Recon
struction bill as a finality, and when no honest
man was looking for such an utterly shame
t less piece of Republican perfidy as its altera
! tion avowed in their published address that
compliance with the bill's requirements would
not insure admission avowed - that other
i terms might, would, and should be demanded
' as the conditions of union avowed that the

From the World.
For a long period his Imperial Majesty the
Emperor and Apostolio King of Austria has
refrained from a formal coronation as the
equally Apostolio King of Hungary. His wis
dom in thus refraining is strikingly manifest
when we read the performances consequent
upon his folly in yielding at last and consent
ing to be formally crowned. Herbert Spencer,
like a very sharp philosopher as he is, and a
remorseless, traces the senseless ceremonials
with which all the kingly observances abroad
are covered, and beneath which real royalty is
smothered, to M umbo-Jumbo. Dr. Russell's
account of the elaborate ceremonies attending
the late coronation makes the whole perform
ance every whit as ludicrous as the stories of
the parades of the Kings of Ashango and
Ashantee, at the head of their four thousand
wives, their eight thousand umbrellas, and a
train of prisoners and paroquets, monkeys
and missionaries, in the rear. We have
printed Russell's report as an offset to the
legitimate dramatic criticism upon the Japanase
genuflections and gymnastios at the .Academy
of Music To begin, there was a procession of
Imperial Royal pages in cocked hats, knee-
breeches, and silk stockings, mounted; of
Knights of the Golden Fleece, mounted; of
the Court Purveyor, "in a glory of finery."
mounted; and of many other mountebanks, all
mounted, the HKe of which can be seen
nowhere outside of Franconi's, or some other
man's hippodrome in Paris. Arriving at the
chnrch, the King, with the assistance of the
Lord High Chamberlain, was dismounted and
immediately plaoed himself, with still farther
assistance, at the head of a seoond procession.
ihe liarons of the Keaim carried the crown
jewels; Count Andrassy carried the crown of
St. Stephen; the Ban of Croatia carried the
globe; the Judex Curia? carried the sceptre; the
Tavernicus carried the pyx; the Royal Hunga
rian Cupbearer carried the sword of state; the
Royal Hungarian Lord Chamberlain carried
the cross; the Emperor, having nothing
else to carry, carried himself with dignity
while the uourt rurveyor, who is also, ex
officio, a member of the Golden "Fleece,"
reckoned np the royal procession, put down
two hundred, and carried twenty to his private
account. Ihese were the "carryings on
usually mentioned in connection with such
performances. When the high altar was
reached the genuine Mumbo-Jumboism began
The King laid aside his pelisse, his kalpack
his sabre, his meerschaum, and his pocket
copy of "Complete Etiquette," and he was
then copiously oiled from head to foot to
enable him to go through any bore that might
subsequently be presented. He was then as
saulted with about four hundred lines of
Latin. Then he knelt down, and the reporter
cautiously sayB he "Beemed to pray." There
after he lay prostrate, at full length, on his
face. Then he arose. Then the Primate,
"standing on his right," on his right leg,
probably, laid the sword of bt. btepnen on
the King's head. "And then the King,
standing ereot, and turning his face to the
people, drew the ancient blade, and with
vigorous hand made the steel flash in the
light, as he cut first in front, then to the
left, according to tradition. This is according
to the report; but it the dramatio critics are
right, it is not according to the tradition; it
is "one np and two down," the orchestra
playing as fast as fiddles and swords can fly,
and the gallery shouting an approving "hi,
hi I" More Mumbo-Jumboism; more prostra
tions and contortions, not only by the King, but
by the Queen, and the coronation ceremonies
were finished. It is not surprising that the
King should so long have declined to be
crowned; nor is it wonderful that there should
be a general desire in Europe to wipe out
any quantity of small kingdoms whose cus
toms and traditions entail so much Mumbo
Jumboism to the nineteenth century; and if
this ceremonial is the climax to American
sympathy for Kossuth and Deak, our sym
pathy, to say
