Trom the if. X. Evening vat.
. Binoe tLe publication of General Blair's first
letter and his nomination s Democratic can
didate for the ViuH-l'ieaid. nay, there had been
A sudden and notalilw inoreime in the vehe
mence, and violent laujtuaKH, of the Southern
Democratic preps, and of Democratic speaker
In the Southern States. Some of the language
We read now in Southern Democratic newspa
pers reminds one of the days just before 18G1,
When Yancey and Lis companions were "firing
the Sonthern heart;" or of the period during
the Rebellion, when scolding at the Yankees
Was thought by the writers and speakers for
the Rebel cause to be so good a means of keep
ing tip the spirits of the Rebel army that even
Mr. Davis adopted it.
Mr. Toombs, in Atlanta, at a Democrats
ratification meeting, denounced the Republi
can party as "the men who for the last six
years Lave shamed human nature itself, and
violated every principle of virtue and truth;"
and he did not scruple to declare that "as
the late war was pi " luced by a defeated De
mocracy in 1800," so I he country should have
HO peace until it rv.lnred the Democratic)
party to power. Governor Vance, of Kjrtb.
Carolina, said iu Richmond, on his return
from the New York Convention, "he could
talk more familiarly of the wrongs of the
South here than at the North;" he declared
himself still "a Rebel," and argued at length
that "what the Confederacy fought for would
be won by the election of Seymour and Blair."
So General Wise said at Richmond, "he did
not care for the platform. It told a lie in its
first resolution. It said secession was dead;
that was not so; secession was more alive than
ever. He supported the nominees, and espe
cially Blair, because he had declared that he
Would assume military power."
So, too, Wade Hampton, but lately the ad
vocate of negro Buffrage, declared after the
Convention that only tLe white vote should be
counted in the Presidential election; and all
over the Southern States the cry of "a white
man's government" begins to be heard again,
and that in quarters w lie re, before the Demo
cratic platform was announced, and the letter
of Blair was circulated, men were beginning
to adapt themselves to what is called "the
new order of things," aud to urge each other
to make the best of what they did not like.
It is not six weeks since Democratic papers
In Georgia and other Southern States spoke
With gratification of "Democratic negroes,"
and expressed the belief that with a sensible
policy the blacks would, to a great extent,
support the Democrat! ticket. But now the
ery is again for "a white man's government."
General Blair and the Convention whijh nomi
nated him appear to have "fired the Southern
heart" anew; and to such a degree that the
Richmond Diyatch thinks it politic, and in
consonance with the spirit of the war, to print
fiuch a paragraph as thi?:
"Shall we never have done with that old
humbug 'Admiral Frrui,' an he la called?
We vuppcse that mere have been l euty tUou
Band dollars' worth of telegr iiih Kent over the
Atlantic Cable concerning nls woeieubiuts and
bis doings. He Is certainly racking the most of
bis llttl victories. It. U as Carlvlo Kavs toe
world will have Its heroes; and if mere are no
real ones, It worsnlt siiain ones. Frriiut 1
the nearest approucli to a i,-ro i out Hie Federal
navy turned out din tut; ibe lain war, a jd so lie
has to stand for the genuine article."
It seems a pity that the evil spirit which,
misled the Southern people into Rebellion
Should appear again, aud with all its viru
lence. There was reason to hope, of late, that
sensible and moderate counsels would prevail
there, and that the Democratic leaders, many
of whom favored the nomination of Mr. Chase
In the New York Convention, would see the
Importance of accepting some questions as
settled, and going on to other matters of gene
ral importance.
It would seem that the letter of Mr. Blair
and the action of the New York Convention
Worked upon these men like a bugle blast upou
an old war-horse; they fiaug away at once all
peaceful notions, and began to cry out anew
the old war-cry ot a "white man's govern
ment." Before, they were ready to accept
reconstruction as an accomplished faot; even
the World consented to that, and showed, in
elaborate articles, that to do otherwise, to re
fuse to aocept reconstruction, would be for
southern Democrats to stultify themselves
lint now, every Southern Democratic! speaker
and writer demands that the reconstruction
acts shall be overturned.
Every patriotic man must lament to see the
revival of this spirit of hatred, proscription,
and defiance of law for which the Democratic
leaders are responsible; and no man who de
sires to see reconstruction settled, and the
country at rest, but will see the importance of
defeating, by a large majority, that party,
Which is thus the inepirer of disorder, and the
liope of the lawless and violent.
The rocoiislnittodSoiilIiorii Males ProsI
dent Johnson I'rovitliusr a Cause for His
Removal.
From the Jf. Y. Herald.
The impeachment of Andrew Johnson has
been diemisEed trom the public mind as among
the things of the pant; but Iroin the present
posture of affairs at Washington we shall not
he surprised if the Hon. Bu. Wade shall yet
he made master of the White Home, and in
the interval to the approaching Presidential
election.
Mr. Johnson, in his late veto meRsaces and
proclamations in reference to the reconstructed
Southern States,Bub tantially takes the ground
that the State governments under which said
States have been readmitted iuto Congress are
Illegal and void, and that the provisional gov
ernments organized under Lis policy are the
only local establishments which he can recog
nize in Lis view of the Coubtitution. It is
given out from Washington that within the last
three days Le Las expressed hlinself to this
effect, that he cannot consistently recognize the
officers of the Southern Slate Governments set
nn under the policy of Congress, and that,
consequently, Le will be obliged either not to
bold any Intercourse with them, or adaress
himself to the officers who, in his judgment,
are legally entitled to recognition that is, the
oilicers under his provisional governments,
Which were set aian and superseded by Uou
gress. On this tack, we say, it is not impos
sible nor improbable that Mr. Johnson may find
wuiseii impeached, tried, conJemued, aud re
moved before the 3d uf November.
CongreBS Las resolved upou a recess from
this day to tLe third Monday in Suptembar.
Let US suppose that duriug this recess the
btate authorities ot tieoigia, for iustauoe, set
np under the Reconstruction laws of Congress,
are discountenanced by the opposition ele
ments of the State; that the Governor and his
Subordinates (the United States army being
Withdrawn) find themselves powerless to en
force their State laws; that a general refusal
to recognize them is inllamed to an orgauizl
resistance which cannot be overcome bhort of
Fonie aid from the Federal Government in the
fhfipe of soldiers; that the Governor applies
to the President for this assistance; that the
president declines to render it or to reoog-
ni.e the Governor in this appeal, but that, In I
recognizing as the legal provisional head of I
the State his own deposed Provisional Gover
nor, Mr. Johnson shall reinstate him and his
policy what will be the first proceeding ef
the Honse of Representatives with the reas
sembling of Congress in September t Assur
edly it will be the impeachment of Andrew
Johnson for the high crime and misdemeanor
of resisting and overthrowing the laws of Con
gress and Inditing insurrection, eio., tne pro
secution of the indictment under the late
Committee of Managers, and such a shorten
ing of the trial, under new mles of the .Senate,
as will being about the conviction and remo
val of the accused before me 3 1 or iMovetnbsr
the day of the Presidential election.
Conviction and removal, we say, beoause,
since the late impeachment trial, in whioh a
change of one vote would have put Mr. John
son out and Mr. Wade in his plane, fourteen
ultra anti-Johnson radicals have been added
to the Senate, clamorous, all of them, for his
impeachment. Now we have the evidence
before us, in his late veto messages aud pro
clamations of the ratification of the constitu
tional amendment by the reconstructed Statu,
that Mr. Johnson does not recoguize these tintr
State Governments, but flatly denies their
validity in the presence of uueress. is he
likely, then, to reoognize them in the absence
of Congresbf No. Should Governor Bullook,
of Georgia, In the absence of Congress, apply
to him for assistance, Mr. Johnson may be ex
pected to pay no attention to the appeal. To
answer it would be to give up his whole ca-w.
It is altogether probable, then, that during
the recess of Congress such soenes of dem -
ralization and contusion in these reconstructed
States of the South will result from this
policy that on reassembling in September
there will be no alternative left the two homes
hut the removal of the otherwise unmanage
able obstruction at the White House.
Down to this point, even in his proclama
tions required by law, Mr. Johnson sticks to
his policy and denies the validity of the re
construction system of Cengress. A call from
one of these new Southern Governors will put
him to the test, point blank, of a surrender to
or a defiance of Congress to dD its worst; aud
we have seen enough ot huu to fear that what
he calls his consistency aud regard for the
Constitution he will follow against a stone wall
or over a precipice. One would think that in
being cast off by the Republicans aud in being
over.ooked by the Democrats it has become
the policy of Mr. Johnson to be revenged upon
both these partus io driving them in the
South to the verge of another civil war. From
the beginning, however, he lias 'urmshed poli
tical capital to the radicals, when otherwise
their own follies and blunders and botohwork
would have utterly ruined them. Iu the
matter of thene reconstructed Sta'es we have
only to say to Mr. Jn'.nsou that the further
prosecution of Lis conflict with Congres3,wLat
ever may be its effects npon the two great
parties of the day, promises almost to a cer
tainty to open the door of the White House
for his expulsiou and the introduction of the
Hon. Urn. Wade.
The Fortieth Congress lis Reconstruc
tion Record.
From the N. Y. Time.
TLe record of tLe Fortieth Congress is now
befoie the people, just as that of the Thirty-
ninth was, two years ago; that is, before the
people as fully as it can lie previous to the
JNovember elections. No two Congresses were
ever in more thorough accord than these two.
The Thirty-ninth was not elected upon the
Special issues of n construction. But it pro
ceeded to the woik with vigor; and, if in its
maimer it was too slow, ami perhaps too indi
rect, still the material result was satisfactory.
The Fourteenth Amendment, the Civil Rights
bill, and the bill continuing the Freedmen'a
Bureau met the popular sense as to what was
reeded for the security of the nation, for the
benefit of the emancipated slave, and for the
peimanent welfare of the South,
and psalms which degraded it from a creature
of life and beauty into a pack-horse for carry
ing theological dogmas. The drama was to
tally abolished. Painting must not depart
from or rise above the literal rendering of
Mrs. Grundy's spectacled wrinkles and plaited
night-cap, and was judged admirable as the
wait on the nose, the wen, aud the hare lip
were accurately reproduced on the canvas.
Foetry was chiefly ocoupied in putting Deuter
onomy into doggerel, the Revolutionary War
into rhyme, the exploits of Christopher Colum
bus and Captain John Smith into verse, and
those of Captain Kidd into song. Sculpture
being expressly forbidden by the Teu Com
mandments, or at least by one of them, nobody
duiut make any graven images, lest feooie
one should bow down to them aud worship
them, improbable as might seem such an act
of devotion toward such objeots as the experi
ment would have produced Lad it b en tried.
Fictitious literature was so under ban that
commentators were reluctant to admit, and
legcer preachers indignantly denied, that any
of the parables described events which had
not actually occurred, or that truth could ever
be ueefully oouveyed through any medium
framed by the imagination. Aud architecture,
especially in the erectioa of temples of wor
ship, was confined to getting the largest
number of souls into a single building with the
least cost.
Alas for the old aud the conservative, when
by the increas-e of wealth, by the vast labor
power of machinery, aud by accumulating
capital and leisure, society was drawu away
fiom these ancient mouiings and driited out
i to the wider sea ot modern lite 1 Now, en
joyment for its own t-uke Las become legiti
mate in publio esteem, and even the moralist
arrests the overworked toiler with "Stop, for
your soul's sake, aud enjoy yourself." We
Lave not, as a people, yet learned the art of
enjoyment very thoroughly, but we nave
very generally come to eiuertain gr.ve doubts
whether we on,; Lit not to. Tim lirtt repre
sentative writer of the aj;e, Chailes Dickens,
is never so truly first as when he shows the
tendencies of unrelieved toil to brutalize, and
of the pursuit of the useful only to harden
and benumb the fiut-r qualities of our nature.
He Las taught the age that coarseness and
savagery, aud with them crime and slavery,
may result as well from the absence of art or
amusement as from heterodoxy in creed, aud
that "sticking to facts" and to busiuess may
make a Gradgrin 1 or P.xlsiiMp so odioas that
we shall thank God for endowing us nitli ima
ginations and rendering us capable of play.
But Jest we ourselves should fall into the
errors of the past, and value amusement as a
means of profit, we the more plainly assert
that the age is beginning to learn that all
profit is but a means of aumsemeut, aud that
all utility and duty terminate in pleasure as
their last an 1 highest fruit. Under the influ
ence of this conviction we are restoriug art
and amusement to the high place they have
held in the culminating pel iods of every nation
or civilization. There have been for twenty
five years a gradual and sure revival of the
physical and the Bensuous, and demolitiou of
the ascetic, the coarse, aud the vulgar iu aver
age American social life. At first it pleaded
feebly for the toleration of the fine arts. It
transformed our churches from theological
barns into reformatory parlors. It has' taught
Amerloan ladies that waspish intellectuality
aud a swelling forehead, pale with an overload
of knowledge, cannot ooinptmsate for the ab-
senoe of a healthy bust, a fine flow of animal !
spirits, lungs that oan sing, and limbs that can
walk. This advanne In the standard of taste,
towards admiring the work of the Creator
more than that of the school-ma'am, is re
flected even In our fashion. A lady who in
the fashions of twenty-five years ago would
have looked very waspish and Intellectual,
would in the style of to day exhibit a full
healthy habit aud a mode of hair-dressing
which allows her exoess of intellect, if. she is
so afflicted, to reveal itself only In her conver
sation. All manly sports, from the princely
and expensive luxury of yaohting down to
base ball, aie in favor, with a growing con
sciousness that our previous neglect of them
has leen from every point of view an Injury.
Womanly sports are becoming muscular, are
tending toward horseback riding, boating,
bowling, skating, and other vigorous amuse
ments, of which croquet is the introductory
apology ra'her than a fair example. The
effects of this development of nature, art, and
amnpement, and of the purely esthetic ele
ment in our national life, we believe, will be
the growth of vigor, individuality, harmony,
and freedom in our modes of thought and
Social manners, and of purity as well as hap
piness in our individual life. The system
of moral repression may have Its merits, but
the effects of development and culture are
fouid to be less severe and more efficient
in lessening vice and promoting sossial well
being.
The Five-twentj Question.
From the N. Y. World.
A Peston correspondent sends us a commu
nication (printed in another column) on the
vexed and muddled question of Greenbacks vs.
Gold. Although we agree with many of his
idea9, we cannot concur in his practioal pro
posal, which is to pay off the Five-twenty
bonds at their present price in gold. This
proposal to split the difference between the
public creditors and the tax-payers looks like
an attempt to substitute equity for law; but,
when examined, it is neither law nor equity.
That it i3 not law Is easily demonstrated. At
the end of twenty years, or after five if the
(iovernment has the means and is so disposed,
it promises to pay so many dollars. What is
a dollar? It is a gold coin of a certain stand
ard of fineness, or it is a legal-tender Treasury
note one or the other of these, hut not
something different from either. If the
law promised to pay the principal of
the Five-twenties in gold, the discharge of
the debt in auythiug less valuable
would be a repudiating swindle. But if, on
the other hand, the law promised payment in
greenbacks, the discharge of the debt in some
thing more valuable would be a betrayal of the
tRX-payers to make the bondholders a gift.
What is due depends on the meaning of the
word dollars, and although it is a mischief
that it has two different meanings, it is a
mercy that it has not more than two. In one
sense or the other, the priucipal of the Five
twenties is due; it must be paid either in gold
dollars or in paper dollars iu strict accordance
with law. The Government is morally bound
to keep the faith of contracts. The present
controversy is a conflict of contesting inter
pretations, each of which is perfectly precise.
If gold be not due, dollar for dollar, then only
greenbacks are due, dollar for dollar and vice
versa.
This record was ratified by an overwhelming
popular majority in the elections of 18(i6, and
a I ongress was returned in which the Repub
lican predominance in both Houses was fully
maintained, sustained by this result, the
Thirty-ninth Congress, before its final adjourn
ment, enacted the Military Reconstruction bill,
which remanded the powers of the ten South
ern States whioh had rejected the Fourteenth
Amendment to the whole people of those States
without distinction of color, excepting only
those who had been prominent in the Rebel
lion; provided for the making of new constitu
tions, and established military governments to
secure the perfect operation both of this and
former enactments.
Scarcely had the Thirty-ninth Congress
adjourned, March 4, 18G7, when its successor,
receiving its mantle, proceeded to organiza
tion. The work of the new Congress, so far
as reconstruction was concerned, had been
already laid out for it. To retreat was fatal;
to vacillate was both weak and ruinous; but
to carry out the programme demanded at once
unusual firmness and modeiation. At every
step it must meet the great obstacle of the
previous Congress a refraotory President.
Fortunately a two-thirds majority could
always be counted upon for any necessary
measure but tho necessity of this large
majority in one respect operated favorably,
since only such enactments could be passed as
commanded the full strength of the Republi
can vote in both Houses. The President's
power to obstruct or oppose reoonstruc'
tion within the limits of the Southern
States had been removed by the Tenure of-
Office act, passed by the Thirty-ninth Con
gress. Mr. Johnson attempted to break these
fetters through the legal pronuueiamentoes of
his Attorney-General; but this only called
forth an explanatory supplement to the Recon
struction acts which even the acute Staubery
could not evade by legal subtleties. General
Grant was invested with all the powers of sus
pension, removal, and appointment of military
or civil officers in the Southern States; and the
supplementary act to the Military bill, passed
earlier in the session, and imposing conditions
to control the registration of voters, times
of elections, etc., was explicitly defined. This
explanatory bill was passed over the Presi
dent's veto by 100 to 2'1 iu the Ho :se, and by
CO to 6 in the Senate. This overwhelming
majority indicated the steady purpose ef Con
gress to complete the great work committed to
it by the people.
It Las been cbarged that this purpose was a
partisan one. Well, in the siime sense, the
war was partisan. There was a party which
opposed the war; of cnime, the same party
opposed all conditions for securing the results
of the victory. As between the parties, the
f imple question Is, which was national f which
represented he popular willf And about
that there can be no dispute.
The preliminary work of reconstruction, so
far as Congress was concerned, was thus con
eluded before the close of July, lSu"7. The
subsequent steps niuot be taken by the South
em States. Registration was then completed;
Conventions were elected at varions times,
and new Conrtitntions were framed. All of
these Constitutions provided for universal
suffrage, from which on'y prominent Rebels
were excepted. In connection with the ratifi
cation of these Constitutions, the Fourteenth
amendment was also ratified. Three States
only are loft in the lurch Mississippi, Texas,
pnd Vircinia. All the others have been
admitted to representation in both Houses of
Coucress. By a special enaotment the
electoral vote of those States not admitted to
representation aud it is not possible that any
more will be admitted before November will
not be counted. And there, for the present
reconstruction rests. This matter has been
the principal business of the prepent Congress
and the record is before the people for ratifloa
tion or rejection. Those who support its action
are the true conservatives, l or the nullinca
tion of its reconstruction measures would re
suit In a commotion, an upheaval and a gene
ral disturbance of our national affairs, from
which the country could not recover lor years
riiyslcal Amusement and Culture.
flwi Mm JT. T. Tribune.
Whether the great physical ooutest with
the Rebellion Las awakened our people to the
consciousness that after all moral truths are
feeble unless sustained by muscular support,
or whether the lectures of the physiologists in
favor of developing bone aud brawn as well as
brain are having their effect, certainly the
American people are undergoing a wholesome
reform in the matter of athletlo sports and
physical enjoyments. The base-ball tourna
ments, the growing popularity of yachting,
and the importance attached to the regattas,
and the introduction of races and other sports
at our agricultural fairs annually held in
every county in our great farming States, all
indicate a notable revival of the physical,
which we cannot help acknowledging, though
we may not explain it. A little reflection,
we think, will satisfy the reader, who
might at first dissent from the view, that
this is no casual incident, but a universal
tidal movement of the people in favor
of a higher development of our physical
life and culture. American life, in the earlier
stages of eur history, was a very serious
affair. batever residuum of vigor was left
unexhausted by labor was deemed to be
wholly due to intellectual and spiritual cul
ture; and even these were strictly utilitarian,
not esthetic, the main object of education
being to deliver its possessor from the bond
age of bodily toil, ' and the end of religion
being that "peace" and "rest" which form the
natural horizon of hope to a race of struggling
laborers. Minds thus absorbed In contending
with the stern realities of this world, aud the
most profound problems of the next, were
more anxious to crucify the llesh than to de
velop it, and would have regarded the terms
"muHcuIar Christianity" as an irreverent
attempt to establish a league between God and
Belial. I hen, as now, very many fell Into
the sluiceways of appetite and passion, aud were
dragged down to perdition. But the new
doctrine that the appetites aud passions are of
divine origin, and when properly studied aud
understood are among the guides to right and
pure living, though it had been propounded by
a tew, was righteously misinterpreted and ab
horred by the mass of good men aud women.
Amusement, when it ceased to be either useful,
laborions, or religious, when it was not in some
way connected with apple-paring, corn-husk
ing, building stone fences, ra'sing barns, har
vesting, getting married, or sending the Gospel
into foreign lands, was sinful, or, at the very
least, a waste of time, lhat human and animal
strength which could find so much useful de
velopment in labor should be wasted in racing,
boxing, wrestling, walking, skaliug, or cricket,
or ball-playing, or quoits, or swimming, or
hunting, or pleasure-riding, was proof of the
continued power of the devices of the evil oue.
The fine arts, music, painting, poetry, fiction,
architecture, the drama, were shorn of
the liberty of art, robbed of their free
dom, grace, and beauty, and made to
serve as handmaids in the kitchen of
use and profit. Music must be confined to
the discordant execution of a style of hymns
It is of considerable public oousequenoe that
this controversy should be settled; but the
laws of Congress and the action of the Trea
sury Department are such a hotoi-potch of
contradictions and absurdities, that much can
be plausibly said for either side. If it were a
private controversy between two individuals,
it would inevitably go into a court of law. It
is a discrace to the Republican party to have
got the subject into such a muddle by their
ambiguous, blundering legislation; the more
so as the Government cannot be sued and the
question brought to a judicial test. The
World's opinion on the subject is well-known.
We have seen no reason to change it. and it
is not changed, but Congress alone can inter
pret the law; and as the Congress which, must
pay the debt will be a different one from that
which contracted it, the decision will be really
made by the people in electing members of
that body. As things now look, the
popular verdict will be in favor of pay
ing tne principal ot tne nve-twentie3 in
paper money; that interpretation of the law
Laving constantly gained new adherents in
both political parties, until they form a large
majority of one aud a considerable portiwn of
the other. Jiven if the next Congress should
be Republican, it will not dare to pay the five-
twenties in gold. As thi3 Congress durst not
pass Srnator Edmunds' resolution, although
the Republicans nave four-fifths of both
Houses, there is no likelihood that any subse
quent CongresB will adopt his interpretation of
the law, after the other ba3 made so much
progress. We inoline to think that the five
twenty bonds will never be paid, but ex
changed for other bonds on whose meaning
there will rest no uncertainty. The doub'S
which the present controversy has occasioned,
and which really arise out of the blundering
ambiguity of the laws, will make the holders
of the five-twenty bonds willing to exchange
them for bonds bearing a lower rate of interest
but unmistakably payable in gold.
Although the proposal of our correspondent
has a seeming air of equity, it is not really
equitable. If the bonds are due in gold, there
is no equity In paying their present gold
value, the depression in the price being partly
due to the doubts which have been thrown
upon this point. If they are payable in
greenbacks, they ought nevertheless to be
above par, for they are drawing nearly nine
per cent, interest when money is well invested
at five or six. It is the gold interest which
keeps them above par, the price of the bonds
depending upon a calculation of probabilities
as to how loug the Government will let them
run after the expiration of the five years.
Surely, the Government is not bound to make
good speculative calculations respecting the
use it will make of its liberty to redeem the
bonds between the fifth and the twentieth
je&r.
