General Butler's report to the Committee of Congress in regard to the exchange of prison ers during, the war is a document of unusual interest. We find that In 18G3 the Rebels herd 15,000 of our men who were dving of cold and starvation, while the 2(j,000 Rebels held iy the United States were well taken care of. General Butler and the Secretary of War pro. posed to treat the Rebel officers in our hands precisely as our men were treated In Libby, but this plan was abandoned after consultation With General Grant. General Butler, in De cember, was appointed Commissioner of Ex change, and found the Confederate generals anxious to exchange, man for man, but that the Confederate Government refused to treat with General Butler on the ground that he commanded negro troops. Notification to that effect was sent to our Government, which refused, of course, to admit the right of the Confederate authorities to outlaw our officers. Exchanges continued till March, 18G4, when General Butler had an interview with Mr. Ould, which convinced him that retaliation would compel the Rebels to abandon their re fusal to exchange colored Boldiers. The Gov ernment, informed of these facts, referred the matter to General Grant, who, in April, di rected General Butler to decline, until other wise ordered, all further negotiations, and Bhortly afterwards instructed him to consider the determination of the Rebels to make a dis tinction between white and colored prisoners as a refusal ou their part to agree to further exchange. General Butler was also instructed to receive all the sick and wounded the Rebels would give up, but to send no more in ex change. In August the Rebels offered to renew the exchange, man for man. General Grant then telegraphed the following import ant order: "It is hard on our men held in Southern prisons not to exchange them, but it is humanity to those left in the ranks to fight our battles. Every man released on parole or otherwise becomes an active soldier against us at once, either directly or indirectly. If we commence a system of exchange which libe rates all prisoners taken, we will have to fight on until the whole South is exterminated. If We hold those caught, they amount to no more than dead men. At this particular time, to release all Rebel prisoners North would insure Sherman's defeat, and would compromise our safety here." In the meanwhile, General Butler, learning that colored prisoners were employed as laborers by the Rebels, notified their Commissioner that an equal or greater number of their men should be so employed in our service, and this action was approved by General Grant. In October, 18G4, General Butler directed Colonel Mulford to Jiroceed to Savannah with a fleet to carry the tebel sick, and bring back our own an exohange of about 12,000 of our men. In No vember, Colonel Mulford informed General Butler that he was detained at Fortress Mon roe by the want of transportation, and that the Bufferings of our men at Savannah were fear fully increased by the delay. General Butler in reply ordered him to start at once; to yield to no subordinate interference to yield to nothing but armed force, and not to that if he could meet it. These are the main facts which the report presents in regard to the responsi bility of the failure to exchange prisoners, and they will certainly command no ordinary at tention. The lllsslon of the Republican Parly in tne South. From the Timet. We cannot share the tone of exultation in Which many of our contemporaries discuss the result of the Tennessee election. In its over whelming vote for Brownlow and his candi dates they profess to have discovered signs of thorough reconstruction. And in the una nimity of the negroes they see an assurance of the manner in which the newly enfranchised race throughout the South will hereafter exert their power. If the mission of the Republican party were to invest the future of the South with danger and difficulty, this rejoicing would be intelli gible and just. If the aim were to build up a black party in the Southern States as the only proper ally of the Northern Republicans to alienate the great majority of resident whites and force them into a position of permanent hostility nothing could be more satisfactory than the verdict of Tennessee. Or if incura ble Rebellion were assumed to be the lot of four-fifths of the whites, and proscription and insult the only treatment they are entitled to, we could understand the wisdom of holding up Tennessee tactics for imitation in the teu ex cluded States. From these points of view, the Tennessee election would justify all the re joicing which it has elicited. It would warrant the exclamation, "Tennessee redeemed 1" with Which more than one enthusiastic journalist introduced the news. And it would enable ns to comprehend the calculation bv which the same writers prove the certain and lasting Buccess oi their party as a consequence of reconstruction But we have not bo learned the principles and aims of the Republican party, nor so in terpreted the object and tendency of its reconstruction policy. On the contrary we have believed the mission of the party to be beneficent as well as patriotic. To its own future it cannot be indiflerent, but that is de pendent less4pou ordinary partisan appli ances than upon the gool feeling and sound Judgment with which it pursues its work, and thesuocess which crowns its labors. Party advantages are to be incidental to success not the end or all euorts. The speedv reor ganization of the South on a healthy basis the earliest possible reconstruction of local frovernments, and the reiistablishment of local authority constitutes the only legitimate -Durpose of recent legislation, in this sense it is understood and supported by the coun try. It is, moreover, a policy of conciliation of forbearance, of amity and peace. Proscrip tion nowhere enters into the plan through which it operates. It guarantees to the black perfect civil and political liberty, but without ImposinK exclusion upon the whites. The disabilities provided for prominent Rebels and the disfranchisement or the omce-holding class are exceptions too limited to diminish the force of the rule, the obvious design of which is to obliterate distinctions of race, and to make the whole community interested in the smooth and successful working of the reconstructed governments. The law, too, runs evenly, n ft h no risk of caprice or passion on the part of its administrators. Its whole scope and principle is directed to the maintenance of justice or equality, the organization et repub THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, lican liberty, secured by forms adapted to a transition timo, but affording no room for the diabolical vindictiveness and cunning of the measures by which Brownlow has fortified himself in office. Nor is our version of the law or our render ing of the Republican policy fanciful or singu lar. The most influential loaders of the party in Congress have committed themselves to views identical with those we have expressed. Vet more recently Senator Wilson, in his Saratoga speech, disclaimed all desire for pro scription or punishment. Recognizing recon struction as already assured, he declared his readiness to welcome the Southern people j back "with warm and generous greetings," : trusting that "in the future we shall be friends and brothers as we were in the morning of the republic." In the same gen- nine Republican spirit, Gov. l'ierpont avows I the object of his endeavors in Virginia to be "to combine all white men and black men," ; and on the broad ground of moderation and j right to construct "the great national Rfrub- ; lican party of the country." John Minor : Botts, rising superior to the promptings of j personal wrong, proposes "general amnesty i and restoration of all civil and political rights to the rank and file of the (Rebel) army, and to the great body of the people." It is not necessary, however, to multiply these cita tions. The law itself, the avowals that accom panied its enactments, and the remarks of almost the entire Republican press, together prove that the party cannot be fairly held re sponsible for the deplorable state of affairs in Tennessee, or for the extravagant utterances and demands of demagogues who speak in its name in other portions of the South. Judged by the standard set up by the Re publican party in Congress and generally throughout the North, the election in Ten nessee furnishes cause of mortification and regret, rather than of boasting and hope. The men elected may call themselves Republicans, but they owe their triumph to agencies in direct conflict with the principles and the policy by which alone the party should be estimated. The shameless partisanship with which thejwork of disfranchisement has been carried out the vile perversion of power which rendered opposition impotent and the whole sale exclusion of tried and trusted white Unionists for no other reason than their hos tility to the Brownlow faction are not more violative of the philosophy of republican government than of the well-settled principles of the Republican party. The Congressional Exeoutive Committee owe to the party they represent, not less than to the country, prompt and decisive efforts to counteract the extravagances of the Hunni cutts and their white allies, and to prevent the repetition of scenes at once so farcical aud disgusting as those of the late "Mass Conven tion" at Richmond. Neither for party nor patriotic considerations is it desirable that the Southern wing of the Republican organiza tion should be permitted to be almost ex clusively black. Unless the pacification of the South is to be abandoned as hopeless, the confidence and cooperation of that large body of whites who anxiously seek peace and restoration should be cultivated sedulously. The aspect of the registration lists is a suffi cient cause of alarm, without the addition of needless proscription and wanton arrogance. Even under the most favorable circumstances, we fear that the majorities by whom the State conventions will be controlled will be black. Where this disparity arises lrom the refusal of whites to register, they only can be held ac countable for the result. If, having votes, they refuse to exercise them, they must thank themselves for negro supremacy. It is for the managers of the Republican canvass to be careful lest they increase the disparity by countenancing the extravagances of the worth less demagogues who address themselves ex clusively to the negroes, fhere are tens of thousands of white citizens in the Southern States whose cooperation may be secured, if the responsible guides and leaders of the party firmly and consistently maintain the conciliatory temper and the just aud moderate principles which have thus far distinguished its official action. Turkey aud Greece. From the Tribune. If the Greek Government has really re solved, as was announced a few days ago by a cable despatch, to declare war against Tur key on the 1st of September, in case by that time hostilities against the Christians of Crete have not ceased, we are most probably on the eve of a great war, with far-reaching results. Greece, it is true, is a small country compared with Turkey, having no more than 1,500,000 of people against the 35,000,000 commonly attributed to Turkey; but not withstanding this disproportionate power of the two countries, the open participation of Greece in the war would at once change its ' aspect. It is now longer than a year that Turkey, at peace with all foreign countries, has made the greatest military exertions to put down the Insurrection of one single island containing a population of less than half a million inhabitants, or whom one-third are Mohammedans and fanaticaj partisans of Turk ish rule. This small island, unsupported by any ally, has kept the whole Turkish army at bay, and, as the latest Cable despatches show, is still unsubdued. The Turkish Government finds itself, moreover, in a terrible financial embar rassment, nnding it recently even dillicult to aise the means of detrayiniz the expenses or the Sultan to Western Europe. If, therefore, Turkey, exhausted in a financial and greatly weakened in a military point of view, has to raise a new army against ureece, it will put her resources to the severest test. The stand ing army of Greece is only ten thousand men; but as, according to all accounts, the most un bounded and unanimous enthusiasm pervades the whole people, we may expect that she will be able to raise a military force not inferior to that or an American btate like Massachusetts during the late war. The appearance of a hostile army of some 50,000 men, on the southern border, is a dan- ger which the Turkish Government will be sure not to underrate. But this is not all. f he moment war between Greece and Turkey is declared, the immense majority of the Greek subjects of Turkey will aid Greece in every I y. They number more than A 0,000. Among them are the wealthiest subioou of tLtt rorUj. Tb hold iQ particu. VnUrU rn-1 ?f 0,9 southern provinces of a.

They are enger for a new contest, and will hardly resist the temptation to im prove the favorable opportunity which a war between Turkey and Greece would afford them. The reports of the most trustworthy travellers and the tone of the newspapers published by the several Christian tribes in Turkey make it, at least, highly probable that the immense majority of the entire Christian population of Turkey will le in open sympathy with Greece. In European Turkey, where the Mohamme dans count only 4,000,000, against 11,500,000 Christians, a general alliance of the Christians with the Greeks could hardly fail to result soon in the total expulsion of the Turks. It is, therefore, no mad attempt on the part of little Greece to risk a war against Turkey for the deliverance and annexation of Crete. She has reasonable hopes for success as long na no foreign power interferes in behalf of Turkey. This, as the diplomatic history of the Eastern question during the past two years clearly shows, is not to be expected; on the contrary, there is almost a certainty of Greece having from the start powerful allies. The Government of Russia has long demanded from Turkey, in threatening notes, the cession of Crete to Greece; and the Russian people would hail w ith intense delight a declaration of war. The l'russian Government has re peatedly and emphatically declared its entire concurrence with the policy of Russia in the Eastern question. Austria, Trance, and Eng land have, at least, civen the Turk3 no hope of aid in case of a new Eastern war, but have repeatedly joined Russia aud Prussia in urging upon the Porte the necessity of making con cessions to the Christian provinces. Thu3 Greece has much greater reason to hope for aid lrom abroad than Turkey. A war between Greece and Turkey is likely to bring on the crisis in the Eastern question It will throw the whole of Eastern Europe into the wildest excitement, and it may soon put an end to the rule ot the Moslems in Europe, and prepare the ground for the erection of new States in accordance with the wishes of the majority of the population. The Secretary or War Declines the Pre kldemt's Invitation to Resign. From the Herald. Mr. Stanton has declined the President's in vitation to retire from office. "Grave public considerations," he writes, in reply to the President's letter, "constrain me to continue in the position of Secretary of War until the next meeting of Congress." In some circum stances it would seem a mere matter of pro priety and personal dignity, that a member of a ministry should retire when his views of public policy were no longer in harmony with the views of his official associates, and more particularly when he held a position of direct antagonism with the constitutional Executive. In this view, therefore which is indeed the true view of the courtesies and proprieties of the relations of a Cabinet officer in their natu ral state a letter should hardly be called for; a man's own perceptions should carry him out of office. But this would be a narrow view of the case to take at the present time, and the country must regretfully acknowledge that this delicacy would be worse than wasted ou Mr. Johnson. lie would not only misunderstand this con duct, but he would dangerously abuse the position in which such a course would place him; for we are of opinion that the suggestion of devolving Mr. Stanton's duties on General Grant does not indicate the President's pur pose. This is an idea artfully thrown out to soothe the public mind in view of possible change to render the people less dissatifled with the notion of getting Stanton out of the way; for as Grant is accepted as the staunchest champion of popular rights, the hint that he will succeed to the Secretary's duties is ex pected to spread the idea that the present irieconcilable trouble between Johnson and Stanton is not owing to any difference in prin ciple relating to reconstruction, but rather to such smaller matters as personal pique. This is the purpose of the statement that Stanton will give way to Grant. It is to commend the change to the country; while behind it, no doubt, is a real intention to put in Mr. Stan ton's place a man who can be used as an easy tool in a new game for the obstruction of the Congressional plan for the restoration of the States. Mr. Stanton has held to his place through many storms with peculiar tenacity, aud he must now take his cue in his relations with the Executive from the course of Congress. In passing the Tenure of Office bill Congress declared its want of confidence in the Presi dent. It declared that the safety of the country would not permit that he should re tain the power which usage and the law had alike assigned to his office, and it tied his his hands by a law against which no respecta ble protest was heard. That law was intended to cover just such a case as this, and Mr. Stan ton must stand upon it now. His resignation would be just what the President and his party most desire; for they have so little confidence in their case that they fear to push it to a direct issue. Let Mr. Stanton rest distinctly on the law, that we may see and know what there is in it, and have nothing covered up. In view of the threatenings that have been fulminated against Stanton and Sheridan, we doubt if the President will dare to follow up his game if he finds the Secretary resolute and determined to test his right. But if he has the courage, let the issue be fairly made. He proposes, it is said, if Mr. Stanton will not resign, to remove him, and depend for his jus tification upon the clause of the law that retains a Secretary of War in office for the term of the President by whom he is appointed, unless sooner removed, with the consent of the Senate, and calling attention to the fact that Mr. Stanton was appointed by Mr. Lincoln. We see here that the President proposes to rest his case upon a quibble, and has pro hnblv had advice on the subject from that illustrious quibbler, Mr. Stanbery. Doubtless Mr. st.mberv could areue all around the law, and could even prove it "unconstitutional" if called upon; but people have taxen me law in its plain meaning, and they cannot see how Mr. Lincoln could form Mr. Johnson's Cabinet If it suited Mr. Johnson to accept the Cabinet ift. liv Mr. Lincoln, such acceptation was a Trnriiinl TPHTiDoiutment. and cannot be other- J " 1 L " ' w ise regarded. r.n the President Remove a Cabinet Oilicer I Vem the World. Tli action of the President in relation to Mr. Stanton raises this question, and as the law on the sub ect is deemed ambiguous, u seasonable to inquire into its true interpreta tion. Ttufhrn recitiner the provision relating to Cabinet officers, it will conduce to clearness to eive its history. . The Tenure of Office bill, which prohibits the removal of officers by the President with out the consent of the Senate, originated in the Senate. As it passed that body Cabinet officers were excepted from its operation. When it was sent down to the House, an amendment was offered striking out the ex ception. This was voted down by what would have been a tie vote, if Mr. Alley had not changed his vote from aye to nay and saved Speaker tonax tne embarrassment of a casting vote. The next day this vote was reconsidered and the amendment adopted by 82 ayes against G2 nays. When the bill, as amended, was re turned to the Senate for its concurrence, that body, after debate, rejected the House amend ment by 28 nays against 17 ayes. It then went back to the House, which adhered to its amendment, and called for a committee f con ference. The result of the conference was the following proviso, which now stands as a part oi the law: Provided: That the Secretary of State, of the TreiiKury, or W ar, of the Navy, of the Interior, una the i'nst master-General, and the Altorney- (ieDeral shall hold their olllccs respectively (luring the term of the President by whom they have been aruolnted. and one month thereafter, Rubject to removal by aud With the novice ana consent of the Senate. President Johnson is understood to hold that this does not apply to the members of his Cabinet who were appointed by his pre decessor. It will not be difficult to demon- stiate that this is the correct interpretation. It is evident from the circumstances that members of the Cabinet were intended to be put upon a different footing from other offl ceis in respect to their removability. Had it been the design of the law to subject them all to the same rule, it would have sufficed to strike out the exception in the original bill, as the House proposed, and the Senate by a stionc majority, after a full discussion, refused to do. It was artrued in the Senate that, if the exception were simply struck out, the conseouence would be that a new President would be compelled to retain the Cabinet of his predecessor whenever the senate happened to disagree with him in politics, whereas fair ness requires that every new President shall be permitted to select his confidential advi sers. The proviso acreed upon in the Con ference Committee was intended to meet this objection, and must be interpreted with refer ence to it. The proviso was a compromise. The House yielded to the views of the Senate as far as to allow every President to select his own Cabinet and not compel him to keep that of his predecessor; and the Senate yielded to the views of the House so far as to make Cabinet officers, once appointed by a President, irremovable till one month after the close of his'term, without the consent of the Senate. j But a question may arise (and here, it seems to us, the controversy hinges) whether the mere continuance in office of a predecessor's Cabinet operates as an appointment, and renders the officers irremovable. If it does, Mr. Johnson can remove no member of his Cabinet; if it does not, he is prohibited from removing only those whom he himself ap pointed. Now the law enables us to decide this question with absolute certainty and pre cision. It sweeps away all possibility of a President inheriting the Cabinet of his prede cessor without a fresh appointment by himself and a new confirmation by the senate. It makes the term of every Cabinet officer expire by law on the 4th of April after the President goes out the 4th of March. They can no more serve another day without a fresh appointment than the President can serve beyond the 4th of March without a re-election. The law does not contemplate any such thing as the con tinuance ot a predecessor's Cabinet by acqui escence. The law cannot, of course, be retro active, and therefore Mr. Lincoln's appointees continue until Mr. Johnson reniovus thm. But when he has made an appointment himself. the officer is irremovable without the consent of the Senate until one month after the expi- , ." nl.: . . . r m latiuu ui ma miu oi oiuce. If Mr. Stanton should refuse to resign, and should dispute the President's right to remove him, what would be the remedy r We sup pose the President would apply to a United States Judge for a inanihiihtts commandinc Mr. Stanton, by the authority of the Court, to sur render the office and its archives. If he should refuse to obey the mandamus, the President would support the authority of the Court and oust him by lorce. We commend the prudence and cood iudcr- ment oi tne president in waking au example oi Dianion ueiore meddling with Sheridan. As we remarked ou a former occasion, it would be absurd to show extreme resentment at in subordination in distant Louisiana and Texas, while tamely putting up with insolent contu macy in his own Cabinet under his very nose. On grounds of policy, as well as dignity, it is better to inane an example or btanton rather than oi Sheridan. The radicals would pro bably take up Sheridan and run him tor Pre sident. He courts removal as the greatest stroke of luck that could befall him. It would be no punishment to aid him in his aspirations for the Presidency. But Stanton clings to office as a coward clings to life. He dies with out any hope of resurrection. The Republi cans might as well think of digging up a rotten carcass and running it for the Presidency, as or running btanton to compensate him for his loss of ollice.
