Conservatism Tested br Its Hesnlts.
Thb present condition of affairs at Washington
Bhould be lesson to th more conservative
memlien of the Republican party. Had it not
been for a few conservative Republican Sena
tors Andrew Johnsou's hands woul 1 have been
eo tied up by the Supplementary Reconstruc
tion bill, that there would have been no possi
bility of the removal of such worthy and effi
cient offioers as Sheridan and Sickles. The
iaDger was pointed out, and provision against
it was Insisted upon by the more radical mem
bars, but the conservatives would not consent,
and now we see the result.
Again, the radicals were in favor of a meet
ing of Congress early in September. They
were oonsoious of the immeasurable perfidy
of the man whom Booth's bullet elevated to
the Presidency, and they were anxious that
the country 6hould be guarded against his
machinations by having Congress called to
gether at an early day. But our good, hope
ful conservatives couldn't 8e it, and so
Andrew Johnson Las full swing for nearly
two months more. How much mischief he
may do between now and the assembling of
Congress nobody knows, but the probability,
from his present performances, is that he will
do all that he dares to.
These are not the only instanoes of conserva
tive folly. During this whole great struggle,
from the commencement of the Rebellion down
to the present time, we have had similar ex
hibitions. The war lasted twice as long and
cost us twice as much as it would have done
had we at once struck boldly at the institution
of slavery its vital point instead of hesitating
and waiting for the loss of thousands of lived
and the expenditure of millions of money to
briug us up to the work. But conservatism
halted, and hung back, and threatened, and
prated about the Constitution, and insisted
upon trying the experiment of putting down
the Rebellion and saving slavery. Finally,
everybody saw the folly of the attempt; and
after two years had been wasted, aud a hun
dred thousand lives squandered, this conser
vative idea was abandoned, and the nation
marched on to victory.
The trouble has been that, from the very
start, conservatism, whether in the Republi
can party or out of it, has utterly ailed to com
prehend the great movement in which the
people are engaged. That movement is
nothing less than the complete establishment
of republican institutions in the United States.
As a consequence of this conservative narrow
ness of view, our progress has been impeded
at every step by a well-intentioned class of
men in our own party, who could learn
nothing but from the palpable teaching of
events. And the trouble has been that they
have had to learn the same lesson over and
over again, at great cost to the best interests
of the country. These men could not be satis
fied that Andrew Johnson was a traitor to
the Union party, when he gave those
first unmistakable signs of defection.
They had to wait until he had gone
over bag and baggage to the enemy.
They could not believe a July session of Con
gress would be necessary, until they saw the
President attempting to nullify the Recon
struction law through the prepared-to-order
"opinion" ' of Attorney-General Stanbery.
They would not take away the power of re
moving District Commanders from this faith
less Exeoutive, and they now see Sheridan
and Sickles removed for honestly oarryiug out
the law. They would not believe that Andrew
Johnson was the implacable enemy of the
people, only held in check by the presenoe of
Congress, and so they refused to provide for a
meeting in September; and now they see him
plotting against the republic, with no chance
for Congress to assemble until near the first of
December.
Now, it is the usual boast ef our conserva
tives that they are practical men, as opposed
to theorists and extremists; but do we not see
that their course is the very opposite to that
of practical statesmanship, and has been
throughout the whole war T What practical
statesmanship is there in shutting one's eyes
to palpable facts, and in refusing to take those
precautions for the publio safety which the
most ordinary prudence would suggest r How
much practical wisdom is there in refusing to
consult great principles of human action? The
skilful mariner does not wait for the rocks to
heave in sight before he alters the course of
his vessel. The principles of navigation teach
him better than that. But our conserva
tives refuse to turn the ship's head
until the breakers yawn before her. There
are times in the history of a nation when bold,
decided, aggressive measures, in the line of a
correct principle, are the only dictates of the
wisest statesmanship. Such has been preemi
nently the case in our country for the last Bix
vears. The revolution . through which we are
passing has but one destined end, and the
truest, most practical statesman is he who re
cognizes that end, and directs all his efforts
towards reaching it. That which has vaunted
itself as conservatism among us has been
simple, blind fatuity, with no recognition of
principles, no adaptation of means to ends, a
mere floating upon the current of events, with
out any intelligent ooraprehtnbion oi tne grew
forces which are bearijg the nation onward to
ts inevitable goal. It is time, high time, that
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH -PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 18C7.
this purblind conservatism should cease to be
regarded as praotioal statesmanship, or any
other kind of statesmanship. It does not rise
to the dignity of even temporary expediency. It
is simple cowardice, and inability to grapple
with the great problems' whloh Providence has
given us to solve. '
Unr Connty Nnmlnatiom.
Is the selection of candidates for local offices
there are many requisites demanded by the
people besides sound political principles. It
is of no importance what may be the senti
ments of the City Treasurer on the subject of
reconstruction, compared with the vital Issues
as to whether he understands his business and
is an Lonest man. For a long time we have
been advocating the system of gradual pro
motion in office. We believe the true theory
of selecting officers is that pursued in Great
Britain, where tho inferior is gradually pro
moted through all the ftitermediate subordi
nate positions. By this means we secure
superior officers, who are thoroughly ac
quainted with all the duta! Is of the business
of their respective positions, and have at the
fame time secured their reputations for
honesty. Such being our views, we hail with
peculiar pleasure two of the selections made
yesterday by our local convention.
Mr. David Jones, our nominee for the im
poitant post of City Treasurer, combines the
requisites we have laid down. He has been
for three years chief clerk of the present in
cumbent, and has thus acquired a thorough
knowledge of all the details of that office, and,
in such a position, familiarity with details is
no small recommendation. When thousands
of warrants are to be paid, and the applicants
are anxious for their money, it is essential to
order and rapidity that the Treasurer know
his business. It is for those who have dealings
with that office to say whether or not they will
keep a courteous and faithful officer, or put in
a new and untried aspirant, who, even if
willing, is not qualified to discharge the duties
without wasting days in practice. So far as
capacity and integrity are concerned, Mr. Jones'
qualifications for the office in question are all
that could be desired. His nomination is one
eminently "fit to be made," and will add
strength to the ticket.
The same qualifications are also found in
Mr. Richard M. Batturs, our nominee for Clerk
of the Orphans' Court. He has held a subor
dinate position in the office for years, and is
well qualified to now discharge the more im
portant duties of the higher position. That fa
miliarity is necessary, is known to all who are
aware of the complex nature of the work of
the office.
The selection of Mr. Benjamin F. Urwiler is
one which should give general satisfaction to
the party, and he is well fitted for the post of
City Commissioner.
Altogether, the nominations made are well
calculated to keep up tiie high character of
the selections which have already been placed
upon our ticket.
The Visit of Mr. Charles Dickens.
It is now definitely settled that, in January
next, Mr. Charles Dickens will visit the United
States, and favor our people with a course of
lectures and recitations, which have been so
enthusiastically received throughout Great
Britain. There has been no small speculation
as to how we would receive the distinguished
writer after the treatment meted out to us in
the "American Notes" and "Martin Chuzzle
wil," and it has been hinted by some that he
would not receive that courtesy which wel
comed him before. We do not think, how
ever, that Mr. Dickens will receive
anything but respect and hearty wel
come from our people. We do not cherish
ill-feeling, especially when it is occasioned by
a merited rebuke. The conduct of Americans
when the author of the "Pickwick Papers"
was here before, was such as to justly lay
themselves open to broad caricature. Polite"
ness was confounded with servility, and self
respect was sacrificed to our admiration for
the genius of our visitor. We think now,
however, that our people have Improved. Mr.
Dickens will be well received. lie will have
large and enthusiastic audiences, and will in
every way receive evidence of his widespread
and merited popularity. But we do not intend,
bo far as our influence can extend, to see the
American publio suljt itself to another
scathing like that meted out to it in the
notes of "Boz." We want no "toady
ing," no sycophantio adulation. Manly
and gentlemanly admiration is all that
a man of Mr. Dickens' intellect desires, and
it is all that our self-respect will allow us to
give. We fear, however, that we have among
us, in the midst of our City of Brotherly Love,
todies who will seek to gain notoriety by the
officious courtesy they extend to all celebrated
characters. An admirable ODDortunity will
be afforded to onr Tnnnlrt to m'fr. tlm whnat
irOHl the chaff to Show who urn (rnntlrtTnn
- o
aud who are but aspirants for that title to
deteot the parvenu even amid the glare of as
sumption, and see for ourselves who are the
"todies" of society.
Mr. Dickens will have a great and deserved
Success. Everythins looks nrnnitinns for it.
He has been most fortunate in securing the
services of Mr. Dolbv. ft moRt flYc.llrtnt
chajterone and courteous gentleman, as his
agent, to prepare for his coming. His welcome
Win i corditt1' but w earnestly hope that he
will have no grounds for repeating the satires
that followed his visit years ago.
Now sd Tubs. It does indeed seem idle
to point out any of the inconsistencies of An
drew Johnson, yet we cannot forbear to quote
his speech in March, 1661, and contrast it with
his actions to-day:

"Ofcl What a Fall was There !
It is curious to notice the fearful fall of Gene
ral Grant in thi Democratic estimation sinoe the
publication of his letter in regard to the re
moval of General Sheridan. An exoellent
reflex of this feeling is furnished by the N. Y.
World. In its issue of Saturday, August 17,
it acquits General Grant of anything like party
trickery, likeus him to Washington, and
wants to see him, like Washington, elected
without opposition from any party. It says:
"The rii-hidc'ticy can be nothing to him: he
has u more VBlunbleolHco. Uuilf, iu tUoliu.U

But on Thursday, August 2!, a different
tale is told. Grant is a schemer, seeking the
Presidency, and stands no chance of gettiug it.
He is a disappointed aspirant for the Chief
Magistracy. The World says:
"tieneral Grant has been sofreely tallied of In
connection with the Presidency, that, like
every fiber iimu who ever had a fulr pr speut
of gaining that high elevation, he has come to
desire it. Hie removal of Geuerul SherliUu

than it was to Sheridan himself. As a mode of

will be glad to see them both put outof tbewav.

Hheildan; they now wisti blm to go a step

Truly the way is Bhort from the Gapitol to
the Tarpeian Rock.
In ocr issue of yesterday, in speaking of the
Hon. M. Russell Thayer, the types made us
say that he was born in 1812. This was an
error. Mr. Thayer was born in 1819, and is
consequently not .15, but only 48 years old.
The long time which his name has been promi
nently before the public, and the fact of the
high position secured by him at the bar is
seldom given even to men of 55, caused the
error to pass unnoticed. It seems only natu
ral that age should be connected with legal
learning and universal respect. We are
happy, however, to inform our readers that
some additional years of usefulness are allotted
to Mr. Thayer than we gave him, in the
short sketch published by us on hearing of his
nomination.

THE SOUTIL
GEORGIA.
A Colored Candidate for Congress.
Ellicii. MahOy, n colored man, bai is -mod the
following ocliln.nn to the voters of the Fourth
Georgia Congressional District:
(Jii; wfohd County, Gh., August. 22. At the
solicitation of many of my friends, both co
lored aud white, I havedeterinlued toannouuee
myself a candidate for Congress in Ibis district.
Iu soliciting your suffrages for tbe position to
which I aspire, it may not bo amiss for me to
give you a short history of my Ilia, and the
principles Which will guide my official conduct
in the event I bhall be honored by tbe suffrages
of my fellow-cltlzeiis. I was born a slave on tue
plantation of Benjamin Lockett, Warren
county, Mlsslssiupi. I roiu'lned with my
old master until 18&1, wben I was brought
to Georgia and sold to Mr. Isaac Deuuls.
My old master raised me as welt as
slaves are usually raised, giving me
the rudiments of a common English education,
and instilling Into my youthful mind the prin
ciples of honesty and virtue. Aud I will say
here, that I have never departed from them.
In the event I am elected, I shall use the ut
most of my feeble powers to bring about a re
conciliation between tbe two tactions. We
have bad war enough aud strife enough. While
I am free to confess that my greatest efforts
will be directed to tbe Interest and welfare of
my own race, I eball do all I oan to ameliorate
tbe condition of the white', believing that the
interests of the two races are identical here in
the South. I shall do all in my power to
repeal the unjust discrimination against the
products of my section, to wit, the tax on
cotton and tobicco. I will give one instance of
tbe hardship of tne tax on cotton. Last year I
rented a small farm of Dr Strumous, of this
county. After paying blm the rent I had five
bales of cotton. On them I paid a tax of $15 a
bale, making 875. It la needless forme to tell
poor men bow much I have needed that money
this year. It would have breaded my family
the whole year. I have felt Its hardness. I
wish It repealed. You may wish to know my
position on reconstruction. I am In f-tvorof re
construction under tbe Military bills; though,
If I am elected, I shall use my influence to have
tbe disqualifications removed from all.
Yours, very truly, Kllick Mahalt.
Kx-Governor Graham, of North Carolina,
on the Situation.
Bon. William A. Grabam, of North Carolina,
In a letter to a resident of Van Buren, Ark.,
writes as follows respecting the political situa
tion of tae South:
"The situation of the Htatea of the South, to
which you allude, is Indeed melancholy. We
are realizing the truth of the declaration of
Mr. F;-x, that 'the most dangerous of all revo
lutions is a restoration.' Tbe Idea of distrain
ing Ibe States by military domination into the
adoption of Constitutions for local Govern
ments, with tbe right of suffrage extended to
negroes, witboutnny quallnoatlou except being
oi tbe male sex and over twenty-one years of
nee, and by the Howard amendment to the
Constitution of the United Stales, at tbe same
time disfranchising all tueu of experience
and lDllueuce amonu us, is the most
solemn farco that has been enacted in all his
tory. It Is to roll back the tide of civilization
two centuries at least, and place tbe ballot in
tbe hands of a constituency less qaallnod for
the office of government than baa ever before
exercised it iu any republican country. The
Board of Registers of voters ban Just been au
nnunced here, eud Includes one neijro to two
white men generally throughout th3 State.
When the whole t-erles of steps In the process
of "reconstruction," a It ii called, shall have
been fully contemplated, I think the people,
wherever they couK'liute majorities, will find it
to their Interest to vole against Conventions for
tbe objects in view, aud bear with the reign of
military government uni.il another aopeal can
be made to puiuin opinion at tne North, and
especially in tbe North west."
