EDITORIAL OriKIOHS Or THB LEADING JOCRRAL8 CPOS CCBRINT TOPICS COMPILKD BVBfcT DAT rOR Tag XTBMNO TBLKORAXH. Tha rrrtlilcut'a Prlradi, From the N. Y. Tribune. We were coubtrained, in considerin g the TreHident's late extraordinary Mes.iage to Con gress, to object to its flagrant defi aiKie of re corded, undeniable truth. The World Peeraa to take issue with our averments auJ (specifi cations under this head. Let us see how suc cessfully: I. The President, addressing Coiigre?s with regard to certain acts of Congress, says: "It In nuiiiifVHlly anil avowedly the object of theae laws t couler upon lue uenroen Ui privi lege of voting, and to dihl'rauciilM) such uiiinhir Ol whin? cltl.eiia B8 will Kve Hie former a sleitr mujoiliy at all eluullouti lu Itie tijuliiuru Btaten.'f To this charge we opposed the officially stablished facts that, in a majority of those States, there is a clear majority of white voters already registered under these auts. And we further urged that" the States wherein the white preponderance is most decided, have given the largest majorities for Reconstruction under the acts of Congress, while those which have a majority of black voters Lave either failed to ratify that plan, or have ratilied it by very magre m ijorities. The World responds to this as follows: "The part of this Muiement meant to be ilmled In not so much the lutenllou as llio avowal. If any ItepubMcnu who nan 'cut tiH eye teeth' should deny the luli-iilion, lUe titling reply wixild be to IuukU iu his face, ilie In tention being uoqueHtlouable, how cuu the I'ribune take It upon itself to say it has never been avowed ? Unless our recollection be at fault, the Iribune Until has made the confes sion egain and ngnln. 11 has. Indeed, prated and canted every day In Hie year about Justice, Immunity, etc.; but II has also, at various times, cotiltssed that the uegro-miirYane re construction was an absolute and overwhelm ing party necessity, aud that It could not be departed from without parly ruin. Hut it N really ol no consequence whether the maslt. tins been souettiineH lifted or kept uniformly down, when everybody knows the hideous features under it. The reconstruction policy is noto riously a political device for keeplnz the Re publican party in power by the aid of the negro vote; aud we are not sorry to see that the Tribune is sensible enough of its baseuesu to wluce uudet the charge.'' Remarks. Mr. Johnson had charged that it was the avowed purpose of the reconstruo tionists to give the .blacks a clear majority in every Southern State. The World dexterously substitutes for this an assertion that the re construction policy is designed to keep the Republicans in power "by the aid of the negro vote," which is a horse of quite another color. It is established by successive elections that, where all the ex-Rebels are allowed to vote, while the blacks are denied the elective fran chise (as in Kentucky and Maryland), the Democratic- party carries all before.it; while, where the blacks are enfranchised, and a tithe of the ex-Rebels are not, the Republicans gene rally sucoeed. Now, then, we not merely Admit but proclaim that one reason for our de sire that the blacks shall vote is based on the probability that they will generally vote with the party that has freed and enfranchised them. In other words We wish the blacks to vote for a reason exaotly parallel with that which makes the World clamor for the enfran chisement of all the Rebels, and there is ex actly the same baseness involved in the one wish as in the other. We don't want fifteen Kentuukys and Mary lauds voting for the next President. The World does. If we "wince" in the premises, the publio will remark it. fvStates, having been aided by the Southern m blacks to put down the Rebels, cannot surren der those blackn into the unchecked power of those Rebels without immeasurable, saijidal baseness. A simpl-j statement of the case pre cludes the necessity of argument. II. Mr. Johnson charged that Congress, by Its Reconstruction acts, ig' keeping, or seeking to keep, ten States out of the Union. We re plied that this assertion is at war with the notorious facts. Mr. Johnson's and the World's trouble is not that those States are to be kept out, but that Congress will not let them come in Rebel side up. The World stands silent on this point. III. The President had talked vehemently f "the Constitution" and of "negroes," as though the former denied political rights to the latter. We responded that all Mr. John- an'a n I r r I llnaiiaa)l Avid lln nA C ments" was unconstitutional that the Federal I Constitution knows" only ifre persons." "all other persons," citizens, aliens, and "Indians lnot taxed" that it recognizes and justifies no ( political' distinctions and disfranchisements baBed on color. 'J. lie World silently admits this proposition. IV. The Prefaident having assailed Congress as impeding reconstruction, because it pre scribed conditions on which the Rebel States might return to self-government and to the a councils oi the union, we responded that Mr. yfcATohnson himself set the example of doiiier that fery tuing imposea stern conditions, and re inired the Southern Conventions and Leeis- iatures to do many things some of them re lating to matters purely domestio which they were most unwilling to do, under penalty of being kept out of the Union. The World again allows judgment to go against its client by default. V. We showed that.wniie the 1'resident was thus pulling and hauling the Rebel States into shape for Reconstruction, according to his own notions, he admitted that the rightful, ulti mate power over this subject inhered, not in the Executive, but in Congress. Again the World stands mute. - - 1 .(MVUU A f A w AJ.V.J . V ' " - . J J damaged Mr. Johnson's bad case by exposure in trying to help it. It tries onjy to sustain LJs assertion that Congress had recognized the. TnlMitv nf iila anrt of krtconstructifm m fol. lows: "Does not the Tribune know that the Civil Rights bill was professedly passed to carry out that (anil-slavery; amendment and under color of its authority an amendment which is to this day no part of the Constitution, unless the .oulheru ratifications were valid." Answer. No, we do not admit, and we be lieve Congoess. has never admitted,' that the assent of the States temporarily disorganized by their own act of Rebellion was necessary to validate' an amendment, nor that such States were entitled to be counted in the aggregate whereof the assent of three-fourths is required to- ratify a Constitutional amendment. Does he ortd hold that no President would have een chosen in 18u4 if the leading candidate iad failed to receive a majority of the whole mmber of electoral votes, those of the Rebel states Included f If H does, we beg leave to lissent. ' Jtfuropean Complication A Ueaeral J latrui a Wnm Ulm TT. Y. Herald. Never, werbaps. at any former period was he web of European politics more completely aneled than it is at the present moment li'his is manifest equally from the internal Mrs as well as from the external relations of tlie difl.Ti'iit imtlotmliti.M. S.-srcly ot of lli" nation can 1 fai I to Im at rest. Tin coiiflii ting interests and opiuiona of th- pln in Knplaud, lu l'rnc-, in IVnsia, in Amtrli, in Italy, in Kusu, in Turkey, are taxing the w isdoui and enwrgy f statemnen to the very utmost; nor with all the w idiom and energy wLIili have Wen expended lias it been possi ble in all the poiiutries to preserve iuternal tranquillity. The Italian aud Kasteru ques tions kIkiw us how little the nations are at one with each other. IU h ol these ilestins has In-gotten almost as nnoy different opinion us them are diflerent nations in Kurop-; and tie pettlctm lit f the Italian aud Turkish I robleiu is involved in as much doubt and tliil'iciilty as ever. Napc.leon, alter having interfered in Italy flfraiu and nain without coiisuliiiur any one, and finding, after all, tliat the diliiculties of the situation are increased rather than diuiln irbtd, has asked the various powers to assist him towards a final pettlement. The Popt Is admittedly a ticklish subject to ineddl with, and tonseoueutly, with one or two exceptions, tl-.e powers are afraid to hare anything to do either with him or with Napoleon. From pro stnt appearances it seems that the eldest sou ol the Church must get out of the dilliculty as best be can. Hut whatever he my do, or decline to do, aud whatsoever a Kuro pean Congress, if assembled, may under take to do, to establish the peace of Italy on the basis of the Pope's temporal power, the manifest destiny of Rome is iu the ultimatum oi Garibaldi aud that "Young Italy" of which he is the representative. He represents the predominant Italian idea, and all e Hurts to put it vriown will ultimately fail, (laribaldi is nothing, but his idea is the manifest destiny of Italy and Rome. Crete is still giving Russia a pretext for in terference in the affairs of Turkey. While crushing out the religion, the liberty, aud even the language of the Poles, the Northern (liant, with becoming consistency, retains his auc tion for the liberty, the religion, and the lan guage of the Greeks. A joint note, signed by Russia, Piussia, Italy, and, strange to say, France, and transmitted to the Government of the Sultan, making fresh and insulting de mands, and offering fresh and insulting advice, is the result of this persevering policy. Whether this note shall prove the preoursor of a second Crimean war, is a question which not a few are already asking. A', all events, the want of accord and the pr vailing distrust among the powers lhid a curious illustration in the peculiar relations of Russia and Fiance. Russia aud Francs have agreed upon a joint note to the Porte, but Ruesia and France are totally opposed to each other as to the policy to be pursued in Italy. A bold attitude assumed by the Italian Govern ment against France might secure the sympa-' thy and perhaps the help of Russia. It would le strange if the march of Russia towards Constantinople should find encouragement from Fiance. It is well at the same time to notice that, while Austria is with France in regard to Italy, she differs from both France and Russia as to the policy to be pursued in the Fast. England is evidently more determined than ever to maintain her neutrality iu regard to all Continental questions. She has her bands full for the present in maintaining the established order of things at home, while making such concessions to the progressive strides of re publican ideas as will serve a little longer to hold her revolutionary elements under control. Permanent stability in European affairs is, per haps, not to be expected until Tennyson's famous "parliament of nations" shall wrench the management of affairs out of the hands of kings and kaisers. Tli lleconau uctlou Acta. K-sm the y. Y. Times. Senator Williams is credited with an inten tion to introduce a measure amendatory of the Reconstruction acts, with reference more par ticularly to the possible failure of proceedings in certain States under the provision which requires a majority of registered voters to exer cise the franchise. The House, too, lias wit nessed at least one sign of a disposition to keep the question open under the pretense of being ready for emergencies. The judgment of both Ilouses, we trust, will withhold encouragement from these or any other attempts that may be made to touch the Keconstruction laws in the present stage of their working. If they fail in any State to produce civil reorganization, changes may be necessary to overcome exceptional obstacles. or to cotfer efficiency upon irregular or other wise detective action. JJut the tune for legis lation of this character will not come until all the preliminary stages shall have been passed, and the failure in any State shall have been established. To introduce new features now. with the view of preventing possible defeat. would be to confess that Congress is not will ing to abide by the results of its own handi work. Whatever these results are to be, let there be no more tinkering in the interim. ' A stage is approaching-, however, at which Congress may properly revise not only its own doings, but their formal results as seen in the dratts of the new Constitutions. That would be an absurd limitation of the task which should restrict it to the technicalities of com pliance with the law, or which should resolve everything into the question of "loyalty," in stead of embracing all aspects of a matter for which Congress is exclusively responsible. In its "own sphere, the law should be left to operate precisely as it is. The duty devolving on Congress, though not beginning until the revision be reached, will extend much further than Mr. Stevens or the Senator from Oregon appears to contemplate. It will take cognizance oi success as well as defeat. It will seek to check and amend the excesses of ill-informed zeal not less than to irustrate the manoeuvres of the opposition. It will be careful that the protection due to the freedmen shall not be a pretext for pro sci iption as against the whites that equality of civil and political rights shall not lurnlsh excuses for supremacy based on prejudice and color. In a word, when next Congress touches reconstruction, we trnst that partisan tinker ing' will be superseded by a statesmanship that shall eliminate irom the proiected con stitutions whatever may tend to jeopardize reorganization, by making it the badge of sec tional harshness and injustice. The opportu nity that will then arise, judiciously used. may do much towards obliterating lingering dir trust and jealousy, ana to render recon stiuttion the reality which alone will guaran tee the permanence of peace. Tht Next Urt Fight. From the A'. Y. Independent. On the eve of a battle warriors refresh them selves with sleep; but on the eve of a battle of ideas, men who expect to win must keep wide awake. To sleep on the eve of such battle would be to lose the battle itself. "The piioe of liberty is eternal vigilance." Yet, although this was never more true than uow, the zeal of many has waxed oold. Thou Bauds of good citizens, whose hearts a year or two po were warm with patriolio fire, are b day lltdlepa and apathetic towards the self-same anse of human rights which lately they de fended as the Crusaders defended the Holy .epuhhre. When the tide of publio feeliua swells high, it Is almost sure, soon afterwards, to sink low. We trust that the popular en thusiasm for equal rights is now at its low water mark, and that the next token will be a rising wave. The late elections were lost by efault. It is fortunate that their harmful resnlts are local, not general. Rut if the oiiilng rresidetitial election shall be lost by lelault or if, like "the shield ol the mighty." it fhallt "vilely cast away" the damage to the country will be universal and irremediable. It is vain te say the Presidential contest ot-s not begin till next summer: it has beguu lready. It is waxing hot at this moment. I'rne, tlie candidates are not yet chosen; nor s there any need of haste in choosing them. In fact, the longer the choice is deferred the etter. Let us have the advant ce of ths ery last moment to make the very best tioic. Next June will be time enough to name the fittest man. Rut the platform on which thin candidate is to stand is chosen lready. No thoughtful Republican is iguo- rsut as to what it ought to be, must be, and ball be. It is nothing less than libertv. lualily, and fraternity. Except with dis honor aud shame, the Union party can 11 r o banner that does not uniurl the legend of 'Equal Rights to All." Here and there we are oinpelled to listen to a buzzing whisper of urieiider. The cowardly friends of a politi cal party are more to lie dreaded by it than its ravest foes. A Ilepnblican who talks of owering the standard of the Republican party iiibt liettcr join the adversary at ouce. The time for planting fruits aud tlowers is the spiinp; but the time for planting prin- iples aud Ideas is the winter. llieiutel- ectual, moral, and religious progress of the world goes torward thrice as fast when nerved by frosts and snows as when unnerved by thaws aud heats. Churches grow deci mated and languid in midsummer. Thelyceum shines only in the winter solstice. Political mass meetings would melt into mists on July nights. Rut the crisp, sharp, bracing weather of this young December calls to the post of duty all men of ideas, all men of public Inlluence, all popular writers, all platlorin speakers, all leaders of moral reform sum- uotnng them all, as with Koderick's horn. o take up ouce agaiu the weapons ol the Good Fight. Very frankly let us say that the pulpits of the loyal North ought now to re-begiu that leadership of popular opinion which they so nobly, conspicuously, and usefully maintained during the war. ihe great issues which are basteuing to the verdict of next fa' I involve the highest social and moral interests of man kind. Except for the incessant and unfalter ing aid of the Northern churches during the war churches of every sect aud name the Government could not have won its victory over the Rebellion. Aud, unless just such aid shall still be rendered by the outspoken pulpits of an unfettered ministry during the coming twelve months, the cause or freedom will suffer peril next November. Why was the war fought out at all if the fruits of vic tory are at last to be wasted f As the North ern pulpits helped forward a righteous war, so let them now help forward a just recon- stiuction. Ihe lesson of the rew Testament s. "First pare, then peaceable." Till there be justice there can be no peace. The press of the country, comprehensively speaking, is Intellectually active, able, and critical never more so than now; but, on the other hand, it is now less enthusiastic, less glowing, less tired with patriotic ardor, than it was two or three years ago. rsewspapers, for the most part, rise aud fall with the people; they are chips on the popular wave. Rat the true function of Journalism is not merely to state, but to make, opinions; not merely to follow, but to lead, parties. Half the Itepub- lican journals, East and West, for the last six months, might as well have been written in water. We have never kuown so great a general tameness in the political utterances of ihe Republican party as at present. To this reniaik the Tribune, is a conspicuous excep tion. And we are glad that its editor, who has been confirmed by the Senate as Minister to Austria, does not think of going thither; for he is needed at home to fight out the bat tle which, since the late elections, lie has so stillly begun against the time-serving section of his own party. Congress, like a company of gladiators in the arena, is watched by all eyes. We have high hopes of this winter's session. No abler representative body ever sat since the devolu tion. It knows its duty; and it has the will and power to perlorm it. Its only weak point is lack of courage. Rut we hail the report of the Impeachment Committee as one of the most auspicious signs of a courageous fidelity to duty that we Lave ever known a National Legislature to exhibit. Let both Ilouses jolu in impeaching and removing the perfidious and dangerous President of the United States. The speedy downfall of this bold, bad man would electrify the country. Ron fires would be lighted, bells rung, thanks givings ollered, and the whole land shout for joy I Let the great act be done, and done quickly I 15ut, arter ail, the nope oi vne uepuouo is neither in its pulpit, nor in its press, nor in its Congress J but in its people. To the mul titudes of onr fellow-countrymen who love liberty, who have made sacrifice ia Us defense, and who have buried their dead for its sake, we say, the time has now come for begluulug a final and crowning triumph for the good cause. We know not how others' reel ; but an the signs of the times indicate to ourselves that an unusual struggle is aoout to open ltween the two great political parties of this nation on the still unquleted question of the negro's rights. - If the Kepubhcan party is to abandon the negro, let it be abandoned of God. Rut the Republican party has too much brains in its leadership to commit self slaughter. That great party the party that must win a victory next year, and must govern the country the next four years cannot, even for success and . power, disregard the Christian conscience of the enlightened North. That party's success can come only through cou rage, and its power only through, principle. To this end let the people relight the patri otic fires which have lately gone to ashes in their breai;ts I Once acain let us see a national enthusiasm for liberty 1 The need of the republic,' beginning now and lasting a year, is what Count Gasparin called "The uprising of a great people 1" COAL.
