Tdetlco and our Gorinmeat Pallrjr,
From the Eerald.
We have given adilitionnl news about the
trial of Maximilian. Justice, rigid and im
partial Justice, was not done to him. Mexioo
)as lost much in the mode of Lis trial; for
however well the nation was oonvinoed of his
guilt, we are astoninhed that the republio
Should have so far forgotten itself as to have
placed him on trial before a lieutenaut-colonel
and several subordinate " ofllcers. Justice
demanded a court-martial headed by ft major
general, with generals at the board. Lieutenant-Colonel
I'laton Sanchez, about thirty
five years of age, was, however, one of the
few officers of the iMexican regular army, in
the Liberal service, and received a fine educa
tion at the military school in the city of
Mexioo. His appointment to the presidency
of the oonrt was made by Eaoobedo, whose
malignant, despotic, and unprincipled char
acter cannot be too highly condemned; for he
is the great blot upon the Liberal army. To
him i due much of the influence which was
brought to bear npon the Republican Govern
ment to oonQrm the sentence passed upon the
prisoners.
Our advices also give na notice of the suc
cess of the republio in restoring quiet to the
port of Tampiuo. In fact, the whole oountry
appears to be rapidly coming under the entire
control of the national republican party, if we
except a few Indians, under Lozada, in West
ern Jalisco, who will soon be reduced to quiet.
Thus the Mexican people enter upon a new
era, and the world will now watch them with
an intense interest. The future policy of the
United States with reference to Mexican affairs
id at length clearly enunciated in the final
paragraph of Mr. Seward's long-winded com
munication about Santa Anna. lie says "that
nation seems at last to have triumphed over
all its internal and foreign enemies, and to
have reached a crisis when, if left alone, it
may be expected to restore tranquillity, and to
reorganize itself upon permanent foundations
cf union, freedom, and republican government.
Only some great national injury, wrong, or
offense would justify this Government in sud
denly assuming a hostile or even unfriendly
attitude towards the republio of Mexioo." This
expression of opinion on the part of the Ad
ministration is wise and timely. It will at
once quiet the filibustering spirit of the coun
try, and place the United States in that posi
tion of dignity which she should assume with
reference to a neighboring republic whose
struggles against foreign invasion have been
heroio, and whose future is so indissolubly
linked with our own. Henceforth, then,
Mexico is to have a chance to try the effect of
her great "laws of reform" and her hard
fought for and well-won Constitution of 1857.
Modelled UDon our own. we are anxious to see
its rigid enforcement throughout the land that
has made so many sacrifices to reach a liberty
for which they have been constantly grasping.
In her onward pace Mexioo must, however,
step aside from the blood red line by which
we traoe her in her modern history. No more
. Shooting for political offenses no more massa
cres like that of San Jacinto. The age demands
,' new and loftier action : but not on her part
alone. We cannot forget that, under the
shadow of a civilization which France pre
" tended to confer, were t emitted, upon Mexi-
can soil, some of the r ost horrid slaughters
1 that stain the history the times. In con
demning Mexioo we equally condemn those
who, boasting a greater advancement, set her
such a bloody example. It is time that this
- inhuman cruelty that blots the history of the
Latin race were laid aside, for they are entitled
to no claim to civilization if they write the re
cord of their progress with blood. Mexico or
France, France or Mexico, is equally culpable.
There is much work before the Mexican
statesmen, and we may expect some local tur-
, moil before the Liberal elements which have
for fifty years been hammering at retrograde
ideas settle into quiet. We wish to give them
fair play, however; to assist them in the march
of peace; to aid them with our more praotised
theories of self-government; to throw into their
country some of the cosmopolitan bone and
sinew that will set their wonderful natural
resources in action; to show to them the policy
of opening wide their doors to the same broad
liberalism mat we snow towards me oppressed
of Europe; to advise them to lay aside that
jealousy of the foreign element that has been
taught them by exclusive Spain, and learn
that a nation, to be great in this age, must
proclaim to the world that its lands, its re
sources, its political privileges belong to every
' man who will come and partake of them.
Under this broad policy Mexioo may under
take a rapid march towards a brilliant future.
Coat of Riconitructiou- A Nsw Issue
liaised by tb President.
From the Timet.
In transmitting certain reports to Congress
: on Monday, embodying information called for
respecting the work of reconstruction, the
President gives expression to views which
indicate an almost incomprehensible perver
sion of the scope and effect of the policy
adopted by that body.
It seen-S that the $500,000 appropriated for
the execution of the existing acts have been
expended, and that a further sum of $1, 645, 270
is required for present purposes. An inquiry
touching the amount that will probably be
needed to fulfil the end of the law, the l'resi-
dent declares his inability to answer specifi
cally. He proceeds, however, to present a
series of hypotheses, having neither fact nor
probability to rest upon; and on thiB foundation
he builds an argument which in effeot charges
the National Government with the whole cost
of civil administration in the ten excluded
States.
The argument has not even the merit of
lieing ingenious. It starts with the assumption
that the supplementary aot just passed de
prives the States in question of all civil admin
istration, and thence infers that the concentra
tion of authority in the district military
.nmmanders imposes upon the Federal Gov-
' ernment the necessity of providing for local
expenditures of all kinds, in tne nrst place,
oQtimatHH that the minimum amount neces
sary for running the machinery of local gov
tVnnt In the South will be 414,000,000-the
aecrecate annual expenditure of the ten States
before the Rebellion. Nor is
this all. The President argues in addition that
the action of Congress may end in making the
imtrv responsible for the State debts of the
previous to the Rebellion,
. !,oin(T in amount to a hundred mil-
ffi Having thus figured up a pile of debt
current expenditure, the President gravely

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY.
Congress refuse thus to shoulder the load he
prepares for it, he suggeBtg that the oouutry
may perolianoe be held guilty of repudiation.
H i diillcult to believe that the I'esident
himself attaches the slightest faith to thosft
representations. There is no warrant for
them in the law as it Is, or as it will be after
the enactment of the bill now in hia hands.
The interpretation of Mr. Btanbery was not
more obviously at varianoe with the inten
tions of Congress than is this interpretation
of Mr. Johnson. All that is intended all
that is done is to make the so-called provi
sional governments of the South subject to the
respective district commanders. The local
machinery will work as usual. The local ex
penditures will be met as heretofore. Local
taxation will be relied upon to maintain local
civil authority, and on the latter will still de
volve the duty of upholding the State credit.
The fact that this authority is for the time
subordinate to the military does not affeot the
question. It will not lie permitted to thwart
the purposes of the law or to hinder the pro
gress of reconstruction ; but otherwise it will
operate as now.
Neither morally nor legally does Congress
make itself responsible for the support of the
State Governments or the preservation of the
State credit; and any estimate based on the
contrary supposition is simply absurd.
For the President's sake, we trust that the
expected veto will rest upon a more accurate
and a more reasonable understanding of the
policy of Congress than that which pervades
the message of Monday. That polioy has
its faults and difficulties, we admit, but nothing
oan now be gained by attempts to misrepre
sent either its design or its tendency. The
President will commit a very serious blunder
if he make his far-fetched fallacies the ground
of epposition to the action of Congress.
Ben Wad and Old Tbad Stevens,
From the Herald.
These two distinguished men seem to be in
volved in some trouule with the newspaper
correspondents. The one has made the letter
of a correspondent of the Herald the text of a
speech in Congress, and the other has united
with his friends In trying to whittle down to
the little point of nothing oertaim statements
in a letter from a correspondent of the Times.
Ben Wade limited himself at first to disclaim
ing the inferences which had been drawn from
a speech made by him at Lawrence, Kansas,
under the influence of the electric atmosphere
of the West, or under other equally inspiring
influences. But he has since complimented a
Western editor who said that he could not have
used the language attributed to him, by de
claring that he was quite sure he had not used
it, and the editor had "caught the spirit" of his
speech much better than those who had heard
it. Moreover, the correspondent of another
Western paper, a Mr. Smith (which, to be sure,
is no name at all) , testifies that he was standing
within a few teet of Mr. Wade and "heard
every word," but heard "nothing of the kind"
alleged, and saw nothing like it in the notes
which the Times correspondent showed him
the next day. Unfortunately, however, this
Mr. Smith's report of the speech contained
substantially the same account as that of the
Times correspondent, ' although less detailed
and full. Mr. Smith reported that Mr. Wade
"entered a protest against the present method
of dividing property between the laboring
man and the capitalists, saying that the terri
ble evil must be remedied. The capitalist
destroyed both the mind and the health of the
laborers. They ought not to stand it, and he
thought they would not." According to the
editor of the paper in which this report ap
peared, the reporter declares this to have been
exactly what Mr. Wade said. Even those
friends of Mr. Wade whojiave been most soli
citous to explain away his speeoh, admit that
he advocated a more equitable division by law
of the avails and profits of labor. Now, the
only law which is legitimately concerned in
this matter is the law of trade, which is wholly
independent in its action of all the fine-spun
theories of radical reformers of whatever
school.
Old Thad is altogether a different man from
Ben Wade, and, naturally enough, treats his
case with the Herald correspondent in an
altogether different manner, lie ingeniously
denies nothing of a general or a personal
nature in the letter of our correspondent. He
simply intimates that certain personal state
ments might as well have been omitted, and
perhaps he is right; for everybody knew well
enough already what he thought of his col
leagues. He is a brave old man. who has
never minced matters in expressing his opinion
of them. A bit of a wag withal, lie may not
have been sorry of the opportunity to give
more point and importance by his Congres
sional speech to what our correspondent had
faithfully recorded.
We cannot hesitate as to whicn of the two
men ma itx&a or lien waae snouia De pui
on the same ticket with Grant. We know
always where to find Old Thad. As for Ben
v ade, we must excuse mm irom coming ior
ward as a candidate for the Vice-Presidency.
He is a sort of bushwhacker and fights too
shy. Moreover, what can be expected from
one who confesses that he worships Greeley
as the wisest of men ? We ask Mr. Wade
himself, in the language of Dr. Johnson,

Misconceptions Recited.
From the Tribune.
The Times (London) demurs at the exulta
tion of the Unionists and their British friends
over the downfall of slavery, because of the
fearful cost of blood and treasure at which
that result has been achieved adding:
'There whs certainly nothing In the nature
of things to make a slower and more painless
extinction of slavery linponslbla. The oiirwati

Million of both to hear no argument and have

never was a time when the coutioversv rnlKtu
have been settled without the utter destruction
of a disputant. ....
"It is due to the better side or human nature,
and to the constitution una course of human
allalrs. to hp and think that some more
peaceful solution of the ditllculty had been pos
sible." In this statement, the Times coolly ignores
the most notorious and conclusive facts.
There was something "in the nature of"
slavery which rendered its "painless extinc
tion" impoBSible. Its upholders always dis
dained to debate with Abolitionists the Justioe
or expediency of their "institution." William
Lloyd Garrison whose London oration is the
7 lines' txt began his anti-slavery career as
a journalist simply an advocate of peaceful,
h'gal emancipation. He very soou found him
self in prison for denouncing the coast-wise
slave-trade as piratical. The issuing of the
Liberator was marked by the offer of a reward
of $5000 for hia person by the Legislature of
Georgia. A pro-slavery mob lawlessly broke
into hia office at Boston, and huuted him
through the streets as though he were a wolf.
This was but the beginning. General Jack
son, in hiH Message as President, December 2,
l.c3.r, called the attention of Congress to the
circulation of abolition matter in the South,
and justified .their utter suppression. "The
misguided perpons who have enlaced in these
unconstitutional and wicked attempts" wore"
among his complimentary allusions to the
Abolitionist, and here is the mode in which
he proposed to debate with them the main
question:
I would, therefore, call the special attention
of CorigreM lo toaunjrHit,aQd repeotfully k
gm the propriety ot passing such-a la hh will
piohlblt, under severe peiialiie. the circulation
in the Houthern 8uu, ibruuvh the mull, of
lt.cendlary publications Intended to InstiRate
ttie slaves to Insurrection." .. , i
Governor Marcy, In his Message of January
5, 183(5, reechoed Jackson's notions,' and
affirmed the right of the Legislature to
"pass such penal laws as will have the effect of
preventing tho cltlxene of this Htate and resi
dent within it from availing t hem-el ve. with
lmi unity, of the protection of it sovereignty
and laws, while they are actually employed la
exciting Insurrection and sedition In a sister
Btate." .
These doctrines were asserted in other States;
it was so with the pro-slavery asoendancy, the
pro-slavery spirit everywhere. It never
dreamed of arguing: it cared only to silenoe,
to punish, and to kill. South Carolina's treat
ment of the Commissioner whom Massachu
setts sent openly to Charleston to institute the
necessary legal proceedings designed to ascer
tain whether the colored citizens of free States
had any rights under the Federal Constitution
which the slave States were bound to respect,
was a fair sample of the manner and spirit of
pro-slavery dealings with the awakening spirit
of freedom.
There was nothing in the temper of our side
absolutely nothing like "a determination
to hear no argument, and haVe no compro
mise." We deprecated war we never
dreamed of fighting the South because she
chose to hold on to slavery. All that we asked
was that she should not compel us to aid her
in extending slavery over territories not
already cursed with its presence; and that she
would not allow, bhe made war upon us
not because she was not allowed to extend
slavery if she could, but because she insisted
that we should be a consenting partner in that
iniquity. The Peaoe Conference of 1SC1 broke
up on that point, and no other. We proposed
a convention of the States we offered 1m
portant concessions on various points but
Kentucky, which had first proposed a conven
tion, joined in voting it down; and the Con
servative South said to us, through such men
as William C. Rives, "Consent to the exten
sion of slavery over all Federal territory
south, or IN. latitude do degrees 60 minutes,
or we dissolve the Union." e would not
consent, because we could not without dis
honor and crime; hence the war. 1
Just a word, now, to the Times, which now
coos so lovingly; we propose to forget, so soon
as possible, but that is not just yet, how for
years it reviled and defamed us after the
fashion of this extract from its columns of July
28, 18G2 not quite five years ago:
"The Federals their wo dth Is turned In
to poverty their prosperity into wretcaedness.
The power In which they gloried Is eilttced.
Law is trampled under foot, and the country la
lust falling Into anarchy, the only refuge from
which Is despotism; ntid we do not scruple to
say that we shall rejoice If tho worst of these be
renlmed."
Messieurs of the Times I do you attribute
such ebullitions to "the better side of human
nature f " If bo, allow us to dissent !
Countries for Sale.
From the Tribune. ,
The Princes of Europe, all of whom are over
head and ears in debt, have discovered a
means to raise money. In examining their
revenues they find some pieces of land which
they can do without, in case a reasonable price
should be offered to them. The success of the
Emperor of Russia in disposing advantageously
of Russian America has brought out a number
of other propositions. The King of Holland
had set nearly the whole of Europe on fire by
proposing to France the sale of Luxembourg,
in order, it is stated in some European papers,
to obtain some money for himself and for a
certain lady in Paris who had formerly been
on intimate terms with him. Being frus
trated in this design by the vigilance and
the defiant attitude of Prussia, the King
now intends to put up some of the
American colonies of Holland at auction. The
Sultan of Turkey, finding not money enough
in the treasury to pay for his trip to the Ex
hibition, has offered to Russia the sale of Jeru
salem for twenty million piastres. In Ger
many, the Prince of Waldeck finds that the
establishment of the North German Confedera
tion will cost his little .country more money
than it can afford to pay, and he consequently
has made the offer to Prussia to buy from him
the whole Principality. Should his proposi
tion be accepted, it is believed that at least
half-a-dozen more of the little members of the
Confederation will hasten to make the same
proposition. Sweden is stated to be anxious
to sell the Island of St. Barthelemy, in the
West Indies. Thus a real mania of making
money by selling lands seems to spread among
the Princes. But thus far there are more sel
lers than buyers.
The Democratic Party.
From the World.
The approach of the fall elections, and the
holding of several State Conventions to re
affirm principles and nominate candidates,
causes a reiteration of predictions that the
Democratio party is about to disappear from
the politics of the country. The readers of
the Times have been regularly regaled with
this prediction for the last five years; but
somehow, it has not heretofore come true.
Whether the Times has stood so long at the
deathbed of the Democratic party as a physi
cian, or as mourner, or as hoping to be the
undertaker, or as an expectant heir, the
watching must, by this time, be getting a lit
tle tedious. In 18152 our neighbor's aver
ments that the Democratio party was in arti
rulo mortis were as confident as they are now,
or as they have regularly been every year
Bince. And yet the latest election returns
show that a change of fifty thousand votes,
distributed in the right places, would give
this dying party control of the Government.
What does the Times suppose is going to
become of the two million citizens who con
tinue to vote the Democratio ticket f If
there was a probability that they would all
die within the ensuing six months, it might
be safe to predict the speedy extinction of the
party. But supposing these citizens to have
the ordinary chances of life, we do not quite
see how the party is to be so speedily in
need of an epitaph. Perhaps the Times sup
poses these two million citizens are going
over in mass to the Republicans ! That, to
be sure, would aooomnlinh the extinction of
the Democratio party; but suoh a wholesale
desertion would be somethiiiK of a pheno
menon. When commissions in the army or
contracts for supplies could be had by de
serting, defertioua from the Democratic ranks
were explicable. But thotse remunerative
days are past. The Democrats who were
not attached to- the party by principle, held
up their dialirs while it Was raining por
ridge. ; But J those I Democrats who hate
stood fast during the political persecution
of the -last five rears are . not liwi-
go -over to the RepublioanB now, when
that party, having accomplished its objects
must soon dissolve. No party can live on
Ob5olete iseuee; and the slavery issue- With
all -its.- ftfociated MeftUons will be obsolete
from the moment the reconstructed States are
admitted. - ...
That the Democratic party is "-no" longer
foimidable, and is "destined to speedily pass
away, is certainly not the opinion of the great
body of its opponents. If it were, they would
not take such infinite precautions againRt its
early return to power. Why are the Southern
States so resolutely kept out until after the
Presidential election unless they will oonsent
to rote the Republican ticket f For no other
reason in the world than because the Republi
cans are afraid of a Democratio victory. If tha
continued ascendancy of the Republican party
were as assured as the Times pretends, there
oould not have been the slightest risk in
readmitting the Southern States. The Repub
licans have only to keep their control of the
North to retain the government of the country.
Their unconstitutional reconstruction policy
proceeds entirely from their fear of the Demo
cratic party.
Tli at these fears of Democratio ascendancy
are well grounded, is proved by the election
returns, which show that a fluctuation of votes
smaller than often occurs from year to year
would destroy the Republican majority ia the
Northern States. Foolish predictions that the
Democratio party is on the point of dissolution
go for nothing in the face of such figures.
Such annual fluctuations as often take place
from one Bide to the other could not, in any
event, destroy the Democratio party, as the
temporary loss of a few thousand voters would
still leave it a great and formidable organiza
tion. But a gain of a few thousand voters
would give it control of States enough to make
it a majority both in Congress and the l'.lec
torai colleges, ihe i tmes contuses and mis
leads itself by confounding the difficulty of
converting the whole Republican organization
to Democratio principles with the difficulty of
bringing over a lew thousand voters who hang
on the outskirts of the Republican party. It
is not the former achievement, but the latter,
that is essential to Democratio success. And
the vigorous radicalism of the great body of
the party is lavorahle to this result by its
tendency to repel moderate, reasonable men
In many of the States there are special
causes and local questions which tend to dis
rupt and weaken the Republican party. We
will take our own State as an example, be
cause we are better acquainted with its politi
cal condition. A transter ot less than seven
thousand votes from the Republican to the
Democratio side would give the Democrats the
victory. Fenton's majority over Hoffman was
13,789. As every vote changed makes a dif-
ierence or two in the result, halt this number,
or GS'JS, are all that need to be won over to
insure the Democrats the State. The rigorous
enforcement of the odious liquor law will
alone change votes enough to wipe out the
Republican majority. A large portion of the
German population of the State, which has
heretofore voted the Republican ticket, will
desert in disgust the party which thus forbids,
under severe penalties, their habitual and
harmless indulgences. The enormous and
hideous . corruption of the Republican
legislature last winter is another reason
why it will lose many votes among moderate
E artisans who have not ceased to regard
onesty as a qualification for office. Another
new source of party weakness is the course of
the liepublicans on the negro suffrage ques
tion. They dare not make a separate sub
mission of that question to the people, for
fear it would be voted down; and as forcing
necTo suffrage upon the South has become the
chief feature of their party policy, the vote of
new xorK against negro suflerage would show
that the party in this State had lost the con
fidence of the voters. The fact that thev dare
not submit the naked question to the people
is a symptom of conscious weakness. It proves
that the Democratio party, so far from lying at
the point of death, has so much strength that
its opponents dare not risk a battle with it on
their own favorite ground.
Nor is it in New York alone that the Demo
cratio party is behind by a very narrow margin
In Pennsylvania, the next greatest State, the
Republican majority last fall was only 11,439.
It requires therefore only a change of five or
six thousand votes to recover Pennsylvania
These two States, New York and Pennsylvania
are entitled, together, to 69 Presidential
Electors; and taking 59 Electors away from the
Republicans and giving them to the Democrats,
will make a difference of 118 in the strength
of the two parties in the Electoral Colleges.
When we consider how slight a change in the
popular vote is neoessary to produce so great
a result, the pretense that the Democratio
party is "played out" seems sufficiently
ridiculous.

CAPE IS LARD. NEW JERSET.
Since the close of 1M much enterprise has beea
displayed at this celebrated sea-shore resort. New
and niagnluctm cottages have been erected; the
Hotels have been remodelled; a One park, with a well
made one mile drive, bas been Inaugurated; and In ell
tbe essentials oi a popular summer resort, a spirit 04
Improvement is largely n aulKwleO. K
Tbe geographical po.ll.ou ot Cape Island Is in ItseU
a popular leature, when properly understood. Situ
ated at the extreme southern portion ot the Htate. and
occupying a neck of land at the confluence of the
Delaware Bay with tbe Atlantlo Ocean. It becomes
entirely surrounded by salt mater, hence favored br
continual breeees from the sea, '
Tbe bluO furnishes a beautiful view of the Ocean.
Delaware Bay, and picturesque back country, taking
n Cats Heulopen distinctly at a dlmauce of sixteen
nilies. 'Ihe beach Is acknowledged to surpass and
other point upon the Atlantic const, bolng of asmeoib
compact ssnd, wbioo declines so gently to the itu
Ihat even a child can baths with security
Added to these attractions Is the fact that the eftVot
ot the Oulf Stream upon this point renders the water
comparatively warm a point not to be overlooked by
persons seeking health from ocean bathing.
The distance from Philadelphia to Cape Island Is 81
miles by rail, and about the same dUtance by steamer
down the Bay, and by either route tbe facilities tor
travel promise to be of the most satisfactory charac
ter. The Island has Hotel and Boarding-house ac
commodations for about ten tliouaud persons. Tha
leading Hotels are tKe Columbia House, with George
J. Bolton as proprietor; Congress Hall, with J. Jr.
Cake as proprietor; and United States, with West and
Miller as proprietors, all under tbe management of
gentlemen whe have well-established reputations as
hotel men. ssmwsluw
QONCRE88 HALL,

This House has been repainted and renovated, with
all modern improvements added, and in const Henoe
of the high tides, It has made the bathing grounds
superior to any In the city, being four hundred feet
nearer than last season.
