What i the True Issue Between
tbe
President and Congress?
Is all discussions of publio questions,' it ia Im
portant to keep to the real point at issue.
Side questions, however important and Inte
resting in themselves, only serve to distract
the mind and to confuse itt conceptions. Thus
the President in his last veto' message dwells
a great deal upon that vexed problem of politi
cal metaphysics, as to whether the Rebel States
are really States or not. It Beems to us that
this is entirely foreign to the true issue. The
only question that is properly raised in this
connection by the several Reconstruction acts,
ia whether the present so-called State Govern'
ments of the late Rebel States are legal or
nott If they are legal and constitutional
governments, standing upon as good a basis
as the State Governments of the loyal States,
then, of course, the Reconstruction aots are
liable to many of the objections urged against
them; but if, on the other hand, these so-called
State Governments have no valid constitutional
basis, but are the mere offspring of usurpation
on the part of the President, then they have
no claim to existence, and their removal is the
highest duty of CongresB. The question la
narrowed down to the legality of the present
so-called State Governments of the late Rebel
States, the President maintaining that they are
legal, while Congress and the country hold that
they are not.
Now, the President's case ia too weak to
allow of his meeting this question boldly upon
its naked merits. He does not attempt to do
it. lie proceeds by a process of indirection,
and assumes that if Congress overthrows his
State Governments it makes itself responsible
for the doctrine of State suicide, with all its
consequences.
But just here every intelligent mind will at
once recur to the President's own action with
reference to the Rebel State Governments at
the close of the war. The overthrow of the
Rebel armies restored the power and authority
of the Union over the entire South. In each
of the Rebel States there was at that time a
fully organized and active State Government,
complete in all its departments, its officers
elected by the peeple, and its authority un
questioned within its own limits.
Now let us ask the question, Were these
Rebel State Governments legal, or were they
illegal f If they were legal, then they were
entitled to proceed unimpeded in their opera
tions. They were unquestionably the choice
of the people using that word in the conserva
tive sense, as meaning the governing class.
If they were illegal, then the Rebel States had
been for some four years without legal or con
stitutional governments. What their legal status
was during this time, whether a State can exist
for years without a legal Government, whether
the State is a something independent of its
organization all these are questions we leave
to the political metaphysicians. President
Johnson took the position that the Rebel State
Governments were illegal, and as the head of
the army forbade them any longer to exercise
their functions. He did by these illegal
organizations just what Congress proposes to
do br his illeeal organizations. And if the
overthrow of an illegal State Government by
act of Congress involves the endorsement of
the doctrine of State suicide, it is difficult to
see why the overthrow o f an Illegal State Gov
ernment by the President does not involve the
same consequences. The difficulties and in
onsistencieB which the President proposes for
Congress are equally obstacles in his own
path. The doctrines of his veto message are
as repugnant to the action of Andrew Johnson
in 18G5 aa they are to that of Congress in 1867.
But there is one conclusion of great value
which may be drawn from President John
son's overthrow of the Rebel State Govern
ments at the close of the war. It establishes
a common starting-point for the President and
for Congress. Each and all agree that the
Rebel State Governments at the close oj the war
were illegal, and that they were justly overthrown.
There we all stand together radioals and con
servatives, Congress and the President. We
may therefore throw out of view all that went
before. If the General Government was in
consistent during the war, sometimes actin
apparently upon one theory and sometimes
upon another, we may let that all pass. The
only practical question that remains is,
Who, when the Rebel State Governments
were overthrown, had the authority, under
the Constitution, to organize new Govern
ments to take their places? This is
the sole question at issue. Everything
outside of it is impertinent. The President
assumed that he had this authority, and as
Congress was not in session, he proceeded to
exeroise it; and before that body could gt
together he had got so far in the work that he
had State Governments ready-made in every
one of the Rebel States. But when Congress
assembled, in December, 1805, at its regular
annual session, it refused to concede the
legality of the President's work. It contended
that the creation of State Governments was not
a part of the constitutional duties of the Exeou
tive. It proceeded upon the assumption that
the only law-making authority in tills Uovern
nient is the Congress, and it immediately took
steps to 8cure the organization of legal and
constitutional State Governments In yte late
HLi Rtatea. And this la still the Issue. The
THE DAILY EVENING ; TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 18G7.
Treeidrnt clings to his assumption of unconsti
tutional power, and would preserve the fruits
of his illegal aots. Congress, on the other
Land, ia proceeding, as rapidly as the clronta
stances of the case will admit, to repUoe Mr.
Johnson's unconstitutional State Governments
with legal and valid ones. This is the whole
case in a nutshell, and it shows that Mr. John
son, in his Veto Message, has totally failed to
meet the great question involved. He has
merely made one more dodge.
The Present System of Taxation Ineffi
cient. Tub report of the Congressional Committee on
the Management of the Revenue and the Mode
of its Collection has established officially what
was known before to every one, that the
present system of raising revenue is totally
inefficient; that under it the Government is
defrauded of millions upon millions of dollars
annually; that the officers of the United States
are, many of them, corrupt; that their agents
are worse; that the dealers, with few excep
tions, are dishonest when an opportunity
affords; and that, unless a change is brought
about, taxation will be ruinous to the honest,
and compel them to join the crowd of de
frauders. The artiole of whisky alone evi
dences the magnitude of the deceptions prac
tised. Liquor can be bought for less than the
Government tax, and the daily return of almost
all the distillers is one of deception and
theft. It has been proposed, in view of the
necessity of reform, and the impracticability
of effecting it with the manufacturers, that
he great weight of taxation be made to fall
lather upon the buyer than on the seller, and
hat the retailer be charged directly, and not
the producer. But we doubt if the remedy
would effect very good results. It is a subject
which merits the most earnest and per
sistent attention of the Treasury Department.
There is no subjeot towards whioh official at
tention should be more constantly directed, for
there is none of more vital value to the na
tion. On it depends the safety of our credit, a
jewel to be prized above all others. In addi
tion to the pecuniary loss, the facility for fraud
causes a degradation of the morals of the peo
ple, and we are in danger of experiencing the
sad effects depicted by Sydney Smith, which
he predicted would result from our public debt:
"The habit of dealing with large sums will
make the Government avaricious and profuse,
and the system itself will infallibly generate
the vermin of spies and informers, and a still
more pestilent race of political tools and retainers
of the meanest arid most odious description while
the prodigious patronage which the colleotion
of this splendid revenue will throw into the
hands of Government, will invest it with so
vast an influence, and hold out such means
and temptations to corruption, as all the virtue
and publio spirit even of republicanism will
be unable to resist."
Heeding, then, the warning given by the
reverend gentleman nearly fifty years ago, let
the Government devote its energies to devise
a system whieh will at least have some show
of honesty. The present plan is offensive to
all right-thinking citizens who understand its
workings.
Our Foreign Ministers.
This class of gentlemen who are generally
selected to represent the United States abroad
are of a status utterly unfitted for any such
positions of honor. By long association and
habit we hfrve grown to look upon a oonsu
late or ministership as the proper reward for
a useful politician, and to deem that nothing
but the qualifications essential to a stump
orator are necessary in an ambassador. The
result is that the complaints against our
foreign representatives are many and loud. A
considerable allowance, however, must be
made for the mistakes so often made by our
people as to the functions of a represen
tatire. It is a delusion to suppose that he is
a judge, or a hotel-keeper, or yet a 6howman
There is really no good claim of an American
against the representative of his Government
except what is the official duty of the lat
ter the vising of passports, assistance
in case of arrest by a foreign power,
and a few other similar cases. The only one,
however, who told the travelling publio
frankly what he would do for them was the
Hon. James M. Mason, of Virginia, Pierce's
Minister to France. But making all the alio W'
ances incident to tne exorbitant demands on
travellers, there is no doubt but that we are
very poorly represented abroad. With the
exception of some selections made by Mr. Lin
coln, at a time when we had to send our best
talent to defeat the schemes of, the Confede
rates, we really have a very inferior set of
representatives. If there is one position which
it is positively essential that a gentleman should
fill, it is that of ambassador. Called upon to
mingle in the most polished society of Europe,
he must either be powerless aud ridiculous, or
else possess the social graces which nothing
but education of a peculiar kind can give
There is wide room for reform in this depart
ment, and we hope to see the day when a
regular Dunnage will be as essential to dipio
niacy as it is to-day to tlje naval ana miuiary

L-K few days sinoe we published an appeal
from the Repnblloan Executive Committeo,
whioh should receive the immediate attention
of all true friends of freedom. Of the work
already done by the Committee they speak
themselves. The Committee have already ex
pended nearly $23,000, mainly derived from
the private contributions of Senators and
Representatives, and their purse is now empty.
They have sent more than seventy active and
intelligent speakers and organizers through
the South; they have distributed an immense
number of documents; they have formed Re
publican Clubs and Committees in every State;
and they express the unhesitating conviction
that with a reasonable persistence and energy
on our part we may carry the whole South at
the next elections. But the Southern loyalists
are poor; they can give little except their votes
to the cause of the country; the neoessary ex
penses of the campaign must be defrayed
mainly by the Union party of the North.
One hundred dollars now, say the Coiamittee,
will accomplish far more than $10,000 a year
hence. The attention of the friends of the
cause is most earnestly called to the appeal.
All contributions and communications should
be addressed to Hon. T. L. Tulloch, Wash
ington, D. C.
Tun New York World shows how the good
crop will affect the price of everything, in a
long article, whioh concludes:
"There Is scaroely a class of people whom this

railway companies that hope to move tula vast
crop must oiler tbe lo wrest rates. Wbea hay is

wheat, aud corn, must.' make cheap beef, pork,
butter, cheese, and milk, and the butcher,
grocer, and roiikruan mu it come down in thoir
prices. And with all the rest labor will be
chew per, and meohanics and laborers must sub
mit to a reduction in wages proportionate to the
cheaper rates at wulca the necessaries of life
can be bought. This general downfall In the
exorbitant prices and projects of the past few
years must compel a considerable reduction In
rents. This must begin next spring, to be fol
lowed by still another reductlou tbe year follow
ing, till rents are as reasonable as they were bo
fore the war. Congress has not yet discovered
that the war Is ended, but all classes of dealers
and consumers throughout the country will
soon find out that the days of war prices are
over."
If Congress has "forgotten that the war is
ended," it seems that the World and all its
allies have forgotten that we have ever had a
war.
"Straightforward Advice." Regarding the
idea of calling tbe live Southern Military Pis.
trlct Commanders to Washington, the New York
Tribune furnishes the followicg view: "Mr.
Johnson's plan of cnlling tbe five District Com
manders together in Washington and conferring
with them respecting the proper execution of
tbe Reconstruction act is a very good one, and
if it is only conceived and carried out in an
honest spirit, we shall hardly fall to preccive
benefit from It. A little straightforward advice
from Sheridan and Sickles would be of immense
service to Mr. Johrnon. But does he moan to
take it? ' We have our misgivings. It Is not the
President's way. If the object of the conference
is to attempt to throw upon the Military Com.
manders a joint responsibility for the policy
which Mr. Johnson has already Used upon, the
plan had better be abandoned at once. In tho
flrtt place, the people will not be deceived by it,
and in the second place, they would not accept
tbe reconstruction policy of the Executive even
it all the military commanders in the universe
approved it."
The Reported Massacre of a Bifehop aud
several Sisters of Charity by the Indians proving
to be without foundation, the New York Tribune
of this morning says: "The special despatch to
the Herald announcing the massacre of Bishop
Lam ay and ten Sisters of Charity by the Indians
proves, like three-fourths of the Indian news, to
be utterly without foundation. In fact, the
Indian news, as well as the Indian war, is In the
main manufactured by dishonest speculators,
who make profit out of the military movements
on the Plains. There is nothing they dread more
than peace. There is nothing for which they
scheme and manoeuvre and lie so eagerly as for a
good, long, bloody war. The Indian Peace Com
mibsioners appointed under the recent act of
Contrress are about entering upon their dutie?.

"TnE Application of It." The Rational Li
ft Uigencer had an inspired utterance yesterJay.
The President, it appears, promises to cheerfully
execute the wishes of Congress; but to this
promise he appends a few oracular remarks,
which may be interpreted almost any way, and
will read forward and backward alike. He
holds that he has no power '-to exonerate him
self from ultimate responsibility for all fcxecir
tive action under the Government to the extent
that 'he shall take care the laws are faithfully
executed;' " in hich opinion we most heartily
agree with him. The article in the Inte'Ugerwer
thus continues: "Should an occasion unfortu
nately forre itself or be forced upon him, iu
which he mutt consent to be disobeyed or sup
planted from his constitutional jurisdiction, or
else require his commands under the law to be
implicitly obeyed by the power of the army and
navy, if necessary, there is, we are satisfied, no
authority lor saying what lme of action the
Administration would adopt." This sentence
comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
It U a good deal in the style of one of Jack
Bunsbv's opinions; and we iniuht sav of if, too.
in the words of Captain Cuttle, "the bearings
of this here observation lies in the applica'ion
of it." If something happen, it is not elear

proiound lawyer was universally recognized by
the profess! id. Judues with a superficial
knowledge of law are not unknown m the Court

position in the Appellate Court and his masterly
decltdorie, did much to mitigate that reproach. ,
Besides his official merits he bore personally
tbe character of a most amiable, upright, and
conscientious man.
POSTAL COMVENTIONS.
Important Statement lay the British
Cliamcellr of the Kxehequer.
In the House of Commons Mr. HadUeld asked
the Chancellor of tho Kxchequer whether the
Government had considered the policy of ex
tending the system of cheap postage to all
foreign and friendly governments willinf to
reciprocate in this convenience, and to boar
their proportion of the cosl of the same; and
whether any measures were being taken tor such
an arrangement.
Hie Chancellor of the Exchequer Tho im
portant subject upon which the honorable gen
tleman has asked a question has very much
engaged tbe attention ot tho Government and
ol their predecessors. Within these few weeks
wc have signed a postal convention with the
United States, under which, alter the 1st of
January, the postage between the two countries
will be leduced from Is. to 6d. for each half
ounce letter. (Cheers.) I may also say that of
the numerous proposals made lor the reduction
of foreign postage, the vast majority have ema
nated lrom this country, and there has been no
proposal made u pou a tol erabl v iai r basis that has
ever been refused by us. (Hear, hear. ) Neeotia
tions with feru.Chili, and other western States of
America are at this moment going on, with the
object of reducing the postage, but 1 cannot way
that anjthiug very dehuite has been concluded
in these case?. Within the lat to or three
years tbe pi stage between this country an 1
Sweden has been reduced from lid. to ei., wtih
Deumark from 8d. to 4d., and with Holland
from 8d. to 3d. That ili show that tho subject
has : very much cn? aired the nttentiou ot tue
Government, and there are at tuts moment
belore us, und under the consideration of other
Governments, proposals which may lead to still
more extensive results. (Hear, hear.)

The new town of Julesburg it another in
stance ol the way things are rushed out West.
The Omaha Herald describes it as having every
trade and occupation represented. Has got
120 whlhky shops", several gambling 'jells, and a
lew other dens of vice. Its population is
about 3000.
The principal amusements are getting ticht,
fighting, and occasionally shooting each other
down lor pastime. Money is very plentiful,
and the evils of which it is the root spring up
in its path.
The great national question debated there is,
where is Julesburg? Is it in tne Slate of Ne

tory of Dakbtah ? oris it in Colorado?
lor the past lew days, tbe first of its exist

of the cowhide, halter, and revolver.
At a recent meeting of tbe citizens it was
airreed to foim a civic government, and to adopt
the charter, laws, and ordinances of Omaha.
They have elected a Major and City Council.
The Mayor is only a five days' resident of the

Trial Trip of New Steamship Ontario
Boston, July 23. The new steamship Ontario,
the pioneer of tho American Steamship Com
pany's line from Boston to Liveroool, returned
to this port this afternoon, after an absence ot
twenty-five hours on a trial trip at sea, for the
purpose of testing her machinery and getting
her engines in working order. The steamer ran
outside of Cape Cod, and after standing off and
on dur'ng the night, returned by a circuitous
route through the Bay. About Bfty gentlemen,
including the executive officer of the Company,
constructor, nautical, and mercantile mer,
were on board. Tho vessel behaved admirably,
aud her engines worked successfully. Thougii
the trial was not lor speed, she attaiued a rate
of 114 knots, with four-fifths ot her power
applied. The Ontario Is of 3000 tons burden,
and she has engines of 1700 borse power.
Fifteen-Cant Fractional Currency.
A despatch from Washington announces
that the Treasury Department will soon issue
an additional fractional currency note of the
denomination of fifteen cents. The principal
embellishments on the face of this note are an
engraved likeness of (Jeneral Grant on the
right hand, and opposite, on the left, a like
ness of Lieuteuant-Ueneral Sherman. The
back of the note, like all other late issues of
Government money, will be green, with the
number "15" on each side of the note. The
bronze figures which have thus far been placed
upon the various denominations of the United
States currency will be omitted on this new
issue, and, for safety, a peculiar kind of paper
will be substituted.
What the Chivalkv is Coming To. The Gal
veston Bulletin seems inclined to ridicule tho
Charleston Mercury for announcing and com
mending the sailinit of three young Charles
tomans, of good families and education, as deck
hands before the mast. "Well, vot of it?"savs
the Bulletin. A good deal of it, we should say.
The encouraging and commendatory notice of
such sensible acts of independence among
young men brought up to despise I a bo-, is emi
nently a good thing. It the press is of any use,
it is tor tbe propagation ot noble principles, and
tbe making public of such manly examples ts
one of the greatest blessings the Southern press
can confer upon Its young men. Y. Y. Times.
