The Towers of the President Their
Dangerous Growth.
Thbrb are those who profess to be greatly
larmed at the growing tendency in our coun
try to diminish the powers of the Exeoutive.
We are treated to declamatory leaders in some
of the pnblio Journals upon the dangers of
the exercise of too much power by Congress.
We oonfess that we do not share these
apprehensions. On the contrary, aside from
all temporary considerations, we regard the
disposition to check and restrain the powers
of the Executive as one of the nrost healthy
indications of our times. It has for a long
time been apparent to our best thinkers and
observers, that the great and growing danger
in owr Government was from the expansion
of Exeoutive power and privileges far beyond
any limit that was contemplated by the framers
of the Constitution, and far too much for the
safety of our free institutions. The mere
growth of the country alone has extended the
patronage of the President to an enormous
degree, while under the rule of the slave
power which so long cursed the country there
was a constant augmentation of Exeoutive
influence to accomplish the seotional ends of
that hateful oligarchy. It was under that rule
that the dangerous and unconstitutional prao
tioe of Exeoutive interference to direct and
control the legislation of Congress grew up.
During the administration of James Bu
chanan this was carried to such an
unblushing extent, that in the great Leoompton
controversy the agents of the Executive
might be found regularly in the halls of Con
gress directing the movements of their parti
sans, and with their hands and pockets full of
bribes in the shape of commissions for lucra
tive offices wherewith to buy up the members
of easy virtue. The Executive was generally
reported at that time to have boasted that he
would put the Leoompton Constitution, pure
and simple, through Congress within a given
"number of days. During the years whioh
marked the riseaod growth of the Republican
party, it was a common occurrence for the
President to pension off with a good fat office
every recreant member of Congress who by
selling himself out to the slave power had in
curred retribution at the hands of his out
raged and indignant constituency. Andrew
Johnson was brought up and politically edu
cated in this corrupt school of politics. Indeed,
he was one of its bright and shining lights.
Henoe, when, by that terrible tragedy which
time seems only to shroud iu deeper mystery,
he suddenly found himself in possession of the
Presidency, he at once began to put in prao
tioe all the maxims and precedents whioh the
slave power had given him. Unfortunately,
the tremendous exigencies of the war had tern,
porarily blinded the people to the use of ex
traordinary powers by the Executive, or
Andrew Johnson's very first attempt to
arrogate to himself the settlement of
the vaat problem of reconstruction would have
aroused the nation instantly to its danger.
The awakening, however, soon came, and it was
Been to what a fearful extent Executive usur
pation had grown up and fortified itself. With
the downfall of the slave power the national
sense was quickened and its perceptions en
lightened. The unparalleled treachery of the
present Exeoutive, his attempts to defraud the
nation of the just fruits of its victories over
treason and rebellion; his persistent refusal to
execute toe laws, and his general attitude of
defiance to the popular will, have brought
this whole question of the dangerous growth
of Executive power prominently before the
people. It should now be forever settled.
And it should be done, in our opinion, by re
ducing that power to the very lowest possible
constitutional limits. It is the sheerest non
sense to talk about flirr from Congress. It
is like talking about the people being in dan
ger from themselves. If self-government is
safe, then Congress is safe, for Congress is the
direot representative of the people. Every
two years the lower House and one-thiri of
the upper come from the people. It is, there
fore, impossible that Congress should endan
ger the liberties of the people. It is the su
preme power in the Government, made so by
the Constitution and necessarily so in a re
public But we have found,in our experience as
a nation, this Exeoutive, one-man power
growing far beyond its constitutional limits.
We now behold it deiying the will of the people.
It is time that it were restrained and brought
into proper subjection. It will be fully power
ful enough when it exercises only those func
tions with which the plain letter of the Con
stitution endows h. The Tenare of Office bill
was a step in the right direction, but it was
only a step. The Executive should be stripped
of his vast patronage. It is a terrible instru
ment of corruption. It is unnecessary to the
proper fulfilment of his duties, and is a con
stant temptation to doing wrong. Under that
clause in the Constitution which empowers
Congress to vest the appointment of such in
ferior officers as they think proper in the
courts of law, or in the Heads of Departments,
, the President might be stripped almost entirely
' of the appointing power; and by distributing
the control of the patronage of the Govern
ment among various independent repositories,
It would cease to become a source of improper
md unconstitutional influence in the Govern
ment. We we" tired of seeing the President
attempt to interfere with and sli-v the legis
lation of the oountry. It is shameful to be
hold him buying up votes and seeking to oarry
elections with the bribery of office. It U dis
gusting to witness his pettifogging attempts to
evade the plain intent of the laws and avoid
their faithful execution. It is alarming to see
him defiantly set at naught the popular will,
and assume an attitude of hostility to the
people suoh as no crowned head in Europe
would dare to ocoupy. The remedy for all
this is to apply the pruning-knife of the Con
stitution, and lop off these huge branohes of
Executive usurpation, reduce the President's
power to the minimum, make him feel that he
is the people's servant, and not their master;
and in this particular case of Andrew Johnson,
if he persists in his warfare upon the Consti
tution and the people, promptly bring him to
answer at the bar of the Senate for his crimes
and misdemeanors.
Ucneral Grant Interposes.
Tub aotion of the General of our armies in
finally issuing the order removing General
Sickles, again caused a doubt to pass through
the mind of the people as to whether he was
really determined to throw himself in the
path of the Executive madman, or permit
him to undo the work of months. It seems,
however, that after a careful examination of
the Reconstruction act, the General discerned
that he had no authority under it to prevent
the removal of any district commander, and
he therefore consented to what he had not the
alternative of refusing. In order, however, to
show to the people that, as far as the law
allowed Mm, he was determined to prevent
any counter revolution in the progress of re
construction, he immediately issued the direc
tion that the "District Commanders will
make no appointments to civil offices of per
sons who have been removed by themselves or
their predecessors in command."
This brief order reveals to us two very im
portant facts in the condition of public affairs.
In the first place, it shows us that, so far as
legal, General Grant intends to stop the Presi
dent in his headlong career. It declares in
advance that, so far as it is allowable, he will
act as the great mass of the loyalists of the
land demand, and will not be driven from
what he esteems his duty by reason of a threat
ened rupture with the Executive. This, in
itself, is a great declaration, and one bo unmis
takably made that we shall be both surprised
and grieved if, through any tacit assent of the
General in the future, Mr. Johnson is allowed
to go one jot or one tittle beyond what he is
authorized to do by law.
The second revelation afforded by the order
is that, in the opinion of General Grant, it is
necessary to prevent the newly appointed dis
trict commanders from doing that which, if left
alone, they would be likely to do. It is really
the same as expressing a belief that the people
of the North cannot rely with confidence on
the new appointees, and that, should they be
left to themselves, they would probably rein
state in power the Rebel officials removed by
their predecessors. This is an extreme view
of the meaning of the order, and we earnestly
hope that our deductions may not be
warranted by events. But it expresses a
doubt as to whether or not the district
commanders would act as forbidden, and im
plies a hesitancy in General Grant's mind as
to implicitly trusting them without previous
directions. The order itself is well calculated
to cause renewed confidence in the loyal de
termination of Grant to stand by the principles
of the Republican party, and is a death-knell
to the hope of Wells and the band of ex-officials
of the South, who have been spending their
money in Washington in their endeavors to
regain office with the removal of the present
commanders, and who, in the hour of victory,
thus found the Iruit within their reaoh turn to
ashes at their touch.
Information Wasted. !six solid columns of
what seems to be a rehash of the Federalist aid
Story on the subject of the Judiciary, have been
laid before the President by Binukley on the
removal of General Sickles. It may be very
good and very true and all that, but then it is
well to speculate how many people will read
it. There was Mr. Johnson, who possibly read
it, and Mr. Binckley, who certainly did. Then
there are telegraph operators who read por
tions of the synopsis; then a number of
printers each read a ,4take," and the proof
reader had to wade through it all; but these
are all that we can think of who have in all
human probability become aoqnainted with its
contents. We have been speculating under
what possible circumstances a man might be
induced to read it through. We thought of
railroad travelling in New Jersey, and waiting
for a train, and all the other moments when
ttmui is fearfully powerful. But we have yet
to find one special case in which for relief the
victim would turn to the opinion of Binckley.
It is worse than Mr. Johnson's speeches on his
Western tour.
Ock Barbarism. On Saturday and Sunday
the papers of our city contained in full an
account of a brutal prize fight, in which two
athletes sought to batter each other and gain
a stake. This contest, we are told, was wit
nessed by some three thousand people, and
took place within twenty-one miles of Cincin
nati. The fact that the event was known days
beforehand, that it was telegraphed all over
the country, and sixty-one reporters notilied
to be present, is a sad commentary on the
vigilance of the Ohio authorities. That in this
civilized age such a brutal exhibition should
be tolerated, prevents our reproaching the
ancients for their love of the gladiatorial con
tests, or the bull-fight or co.:k-pit of modern
days. An attempt is being made to give some
good qualities to the victor because he started
a subscription to aid his almost dying foe, but
$50 is a poor olaim to respectability, and des
pite his assumed generosity the contestant
remains no better than the brute creation in
fact, we give the preference to brutes.
CoMMiHHroBRB Rollins. The removal of
Commissioner Rollins, of the Internal Revenue
Department, seems to be the ohief object of
the professional politicians who have the ear
of the President. There is just one interest
that would be promoted by the removal of this
faithful officer, and that is the interest of fraud
on the revenue in connection with distilled
spirits. In Commissioner Rollins the per
jured plunderers who are flooding the country
with untaxed whifiky have found a vigilant
and relentless euemy, and it is from them that
this effort for his removal ooniea. We trust
that, for the sake of the revenue, they may be
unsuccessful.
Tn Dead op tub Month. The New York
World gives a lint of the deaths which it has
been called upon to record during the month
iut closed. It tells us tnat from Europe the
csble brouftht intelligence on two successive
dajs of the death of two men illustrious in sci
ence and surgery Professor Michael Faraday,
of England, and M. Velpeau, of France. Our
columns have also recorded the death of Marie
Hophie Aniclie, ex-Queen of Naples; Mlra Abiy,
a well-known English authoress; Ira Aldrldge,
the celebrated negro actor; and Cardinal Louis
Alticrl. the distinguished Roman Catbolio pre.
late. On this side of the water we have lost by
death Pierre Flavien Turgeon, Archbishop of
Quebec; Kev. Jeremiah Day, the venerable ex
Prcpident of Yale College; ex-Oovernor William
B. Campbell, of Tennessee; Pierce Butler, a
Southern lawyer and politician; Judges W. W.
Schrt xhani, of New York, and James Arm
strong, of Peniifylvanla: Doctors John C. War
ren and James Jackson, two of the most (lis
tioeuished physicians of MusHacliusetts; aud
William A. Bradley, of Washington.
Napoleon's Meaning. The Herald, with its
usual owl-like show of wisdom, examines the
speeches of Napoleon, and concludes: "The
conclusion to which we feel ourselves driven by
a review ot the entire situation is, that Napo
leon Is desirous of peace; that he has convinced
himself that the French people are desirous of
pcaee; that, therefore, we shall have no war
unless war becomes such a necessity as shall
compel the public assent ot France. There is
uotlnnz of which Napoleon, in later years par.
tlcularij, bas shown himself so ambitious as to
be the exponent of the public mind ot France.
Fi ance, it ia aow manifest, does not wish war.
Our conviction, therefore, is that we shall have
none.'1
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
The Cauie mt the Defects of the He con
struction Acts.
Washington, Sept. 1. Some of the papers,
in copying and commenting on the despatches
regarding ihedeiectH in the last Supplementary
Reconstruction acis, undertake to correct your
correwriondeut by attributing such defeats to tae
conservatism of the Senate, tusiead of to hasty
action on the part of Congruss generally. Now,
every one who was here during the session
knows better. The so-culled "conservatism
of the Senate" expressed itself in doub'.s
as to the constitutional power of Cong reus
to prohibit the President from -removing
the military commanders, aud to this
me House yielded. Hut the Chief de
fect in the law, which is the limited power
conferred upon General Grant, was directly the
result of rushing the bill through the bliud
manipulations of a Conference Committee.
Every one present will remember the lot-elble
appeals ol Mr. Sotiofield, of Pennsylvania,
against sending the bill to a Cou Terence Com
mittee, whose report must nt-eeasarlly be voted
on blindly, and the result has shown the wis
dom of his position. Congress assembled und;r
the whip and spur of Stauberry's opinion,
which had Just declared that there wav no
power In the law authorizing military com
munders to make removals. Well," said Con
gress, "if it be not there, let's put It there." And
they did. "Now," said they, "lei's give
General Grant the same power" which they
did and stopped just short of the mark. A.
section of three lines, investing General Grant
with all the powers conferred upon the district
commanders, would have effected more thau
the three whole sections which it took: to give
him the power to make and unmake office
holders. But I remember an incident which
helps to explain this shortsightedness in part.
At that time many Republicans hadn't much
faith in General Grant, and a prominent Sena
tor said to me, " We put Grant in the bill, so if
he is what his friends say he is, he will have a
chance to show it."
Another point some of the papers entirely
overlook. They say if Grant has not Bumulent
power under the acts be is General-in-Chief,
and his subordinates must obey the orders be
may issue. Equally, in this sense, is General
Grant the President's subordinate, and he must
obey all his orders, though they may overrule
everything be does.
It would be the height of folly to undertake
to contradict or refute a tithe of the misstate
ments and gross exaggerations that nave baen
inspired at the White House during the last
week, regarding the correspondence and inter
views between the President and Geueral
Grant. Yet some of them are so utterly devoid
of trnlb, and yet so ingeniously stated, that
they may possibly be credited in questions
wnere their source and subject are not
fully understood. In one of these ac
counts General Grant Is represented as
pleading the yellow fever as a reason
why General Hancock should not be sent
to New Orleans, and as failing to make that ob
jection wnen the assignment of Gen. Thomas
was under consideration. The facts simply are,
that when the President broached the subject
or changing commanders of the Fifth District,
General Grant urged this as one of the Inci
dental objections, and sent to the President
Gentral Sheridan's reports on the subject, in
which he recommended that officers on leave
at that time be permlited to remain away, as
the presence of unocclimated persons would
lend to greatly Increase the mortality. This Is
all there is of that story. Other points are
equally untrue. Where the President is repre
sented as intimating to Geueral Grant mat
his letter smacked of Insubordination, and
that the latter attemnted to apologize, aud
where also, the President Is represeuted as
telling General Grant that if every order he
should issue should provoke from him a politi
cal esbsy, afialrs must come to a stand still, It
must be understood that the President made
suck remarks to the correspondent who gives
the account oi the interview. lie never said
any such thing to General Grant. In conclu
sion, the last Interview on the Hancock-Sheridan
order was sought by tne President, if mere
WhHftuy seeking about it. During this inter
view General Grant told the President that be
considered the injunction of privacy removed
troui t is letter on the removal of Secretary
Stanton.
Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, had a
lerjgtby interview with Geueral Grant yester
day, during which the latter is reported to have
exirct,ed decidedly radical sentiments. -V. '
limes.
The President's Despatch.
The recent order of General Grant that "Dis
trict Commanders will make no appointment
to civil office ol persons who have been removed
by themselves or their predecessors In com
mand," does not make a new Issue between
General Grant and the President. Tuere is
good authority for asei ting that the rumors of
difficulties having occurred on this subject are
groundless. The Reconstruction act vesta in
the General commanding tbe armies the same
powers as are conferred upnn District Ooui
mauderi, in regard to removals and appoint
ment, and. therefore, the order of General
Grant Is considered merely as a notice In ad
vance that he would disapprove of suoh ap
pointment as he indicates. JV. Y. Tribune.

miNCE ALFRED AT RIO.
Arrival avt III Jantlrt of the Daks of
MlBbargh.
Rio JAKRtao, August 1. The general news
here U the arrival of Captain tbe Duke
of Edinburgh, In hln gulp the Uaialea,
The Royal Captain was sainted br the
ah pa of war andi the batteries on his
arrival, with twenty-one guns his royal
standard flying at the main. The Admiral
went on board the Prince's ship, contrary, per
heps, to regulation; but the royal standard
supersedes all things, lie this as it may, the
rayal Duke came on shore, whore he was
entertained that evening at an excellent soiree.
The Monday after, his Royal Highness was
entertained at a ball given by the British resi
dents, who treated him right royally. He left
tbe next day for the Cape of Good Hope, on his
voyage round the world.
The Prince is described for I have not seen
him as a young man of tbe Georgian stamp.
Now, I have never seen any of the Georges, as
I was too young when in Koelandtosee the
last namely, Georg the Kounb. He may be,
however, a gooti looking voting man. At any
rau, It is to be hoped mat when he gets to the
Cape of Good Hope he will have sufficiently
sowed his wild oats not to propose to serve out
"old Grey" the Governor when he was last
there by; slutting a lot of atones in tbe oil
gentleman's bed, "old Grey," being then Gov
ernor ot tbe Cape, for which prank young Mas
tor Alfred and abrother midshipman were sent
on board, with a request not to send them on
shore again. Alfred Is a captain now, and, per
haps, will urbave better.
On tbe lath the Prince and the Count d'Eo
visited the naval arsenal aud examined tbe Ave
Iron clads which are now building, and the dry
dock at Cobras Island. In tbe afternoon his
Majesty tbe Emperor visited the Prince on
board tbe frigate. On the following morning
Mr. Thornton, her Britannia Majesty s Minister
at this Court, gave a grand ball In honor of the
Prince, at which their Majesties the Emperor
and Kmpress, and the Count and Countess
d'Ku, were present, besides the Ministers of
State, many officers of the army and navy and
Brazilian and foreign residents. The imperial
family and the Prince only retired between
two and three o'clock in the morning. On
tbe 20th tbe Prince dined with the Kra
peror at the palaco of St. Cbrlslopner. The
Mlnisteis of State, Mr. Thornton, and the Eug
lish, French, aud American Admirals were
sIho honored with invitations. On the night
of the 2:td, tbe British residents of Rio de
Janeiro oflered his Royal Highness a splendid
ball at the magnificent rooms of the Casino.
The Imperial family honored the ball with
their presence. His Royal Highness twice
danced the Scotch reel the first time with
Mrs. Thornton, and tbe second with Mrs. Gun
ning. Tbe Prince retired at half-past 3 o'oloclc
in the morning, and the Imperial family Imme
diately after, amid enthusiastic cheers. Tne
ball broke up at 4 o'clock. On t he morning of
the 23d ult., the Galatea left for the Cape of
Good Hope. If. Y. Herald.
The Paris Poor. A recent return of the
indigent class in Paris gives the following par
ticulars: In Paris, in 1863, there were 40,056
families, consisting of 101,570 individuals; in
1866 this number was increased, and the
return was 40,644 families, comprising 105,11!)
individuals that is, an increase of 588 fami
lies and 3549 individuals. In the population
of Paris one person out of 1712 is a registered
and relieved pauper. The richest quarter is the
'fashionable ninth arrondissemenfO'Elysee),
in which there is only one pauper out of 5365
inhabitants; the poorest is the "Gobelins,"
where one out of 621 gets relief. It appears
that three-fourths of the persons seeking relief
in Paris do not really belong to the city, but
are country people tempted to Paris by what
seems to them persons totally ignorant of the
increased rate of living there fabulous wages.
The average relief afforded has been 4Sf. 65c.
per individual.
How to Gkt Fresh Air. The London Tele
graph says: "A daring inventor is to bring
the fresh air up to London, like the milk, and
the meat, and the drinking water. Mr. Thomas,
of Depttord, a carpenter, sees his way to a
plan of pumping pure and cold rural atmo
sphere into the capital. The pure air is to
pass through iron tunnels; the cold air is to
go through other tunnels, and through ice
houses; iron pipes are to branch off to the
various streets and roads, while smaller pipes
are to be furnished for the houses, eto. Pure
air may be obtained at the distance of Chisel
hurst Common. By this invention, says the
projector, it might be conveyed to any court,
alley, or other close place a plan which, in
case of fever or cholera, would be most in
valuable." Pbooress ov Aubtralia. In 1865 the im
ports into the Australian colonies reached
35,000,000, and the exports jC30,000,000.
Within the last sixteen years New South
Wales and Viotoria have yielded 150,000,000
worth of gold, and New South Wales has pro
duced 5,000,000 tons of coal. South Australia
has also, within the last ten years, exported
5,000,000 worth of copper. The tonnage
of Australasian vessels which arrived at Aus
tralasian ports in 1865 was 2,000,000, and a
similar amount of tonnage left those ports
during the same period. Forty years ago the
number of horses, cattle, and sheep in Aus
tralia was under 400,000; the number is now
nearly 35,000,000.
Pseumatic. The number of telegraphic
despatches received at the central station in
Paris has increased so considerably that the
administration, finding it impossible to send
them by porters in all directions to their re
spective destinations, has adopted a plan for
the speedy transmission of letters. A con
tinuous series of iron tubes, sixty-five milli
metres, two and a half inches in diameter, has
been laid down from the central office iu the
Rue de Grenelle St. Germain to the Hotel des
Postes, and back again te the central office.
Each cylinder may contain as many as forty
despatches, and a new one is sent off every
ten minutes.
Didn't Go Off. A military anecdote comes
from the Cape of Good Hope. The Eighty-sixth
foot, under orders for the fever-stricken Mau
ritius, was landed and sent into camp near
Port Elizabeth, there to remain until the sugar
colony should have a clean bill of health. In
order to test the condition of their arms, one
round of blank cartridge per man was served
out ; but when the command came to fire a
volley, four hundred and lift y-t wo rifles missed
lire.

economical apparatus known for making steam. It
is less expensive, both la first cost and use, and Its
advantages are such that It must supersede every
other boiler. IT CANNOT POSSIBLY BE EX
PLODED: will Dot Incrust; can be Increased to any
capacity by the additions of section; can be separated
Into sections for convenient transportation: venerates
steam fast and dry; economizes In space, weight, and
fuel; rxmts lees for brick work and setting up; U less
liable to get out of order, and can be any whore re
paired; and can be manufactured and sold thirty per
cent, less than any other boiler now In use. Engi
neers, machinists, and capitalists are Invited to ex
amine one ol these Hollers now In operation at Hen
demon's Mill, Coatee street, west ol Twenty-first. A
Company to manufacture this Boiler Is being organ
Ized, and one tbon&and shares ot stock In all ar
offered for sale at 50 a share, of which two-thirds has
been subscribed. It will be shown to those Interested,
that a large profit Is already being realized In the
manufacture.
