"After a Fair Trial tn Andrew Johnson's recent message it is as "erted that "after a fair trial they (the Reooa "truction aots) have substantially failed and proved pernicious in their results," wherefore his Excellenoy, embracing the last opporta" nit, again advises that they be expunged from the statute-book. This recommendation Is certainly a logical one, and would be de serving of the earnest consideration of Con gress were it not for two stubborn foots which Mr. Johnson wilfully and characteristically ig nores. In the first place, the Reconstruction policy of CoDgress has not, thanks to Andrew Johnson, had a fair trial; and in the seoond place, despite all the hindrances which have been thrown in its way by Andrew Johnson and his sympathizers, Reconstruction has not proved a failure, fraught with pernicious re sults alone. Wherever and whenever it has been pos sible, the President has, from the outset, stu diously labored to defeat the Congressional policy. As soon as he discovered that the illustrious soldiers assigned to the coiamaud of the five military divisions created by the Reconstruction aots were intent upon discharg ing the duties imposed them in a manner con sistent with the letter and spirit of these aots, he commenced their removal; and only failed to replace them by subservient tools of "my policy" because the army did not contain enough material of that sort to meet all the demands. By characterizing the policy of Congress as unconstitutional, and therefore null and void, he encouraged the unrepentant leaders of the Rebellion to array themselves systematically against the Reconstruction acts, to proscribe all the loyal whites, and to persecute to the death all the loyal blaoks in the Southern States. In Georgia and Louisiana this treasonable con spiracy between the resident and the Rebel leaders has resulted in the most disastrous manner. In the former State, men who were legally eleoted to seats in the Legislature were ousted by the dozeD, for the simple reason that there was a "vis ble admixture" of negro blood in their veins. The horrible slaughter at Camilla was a legitimate result of this action; and throughout the South outrages of a similar, but less extended character, have been perpetrated with the most unblushing effrontery, in defiance of Congress and all the power of the Government, which was not, through Presidential agency, arrayed on the side of the Rebel element of the population At the election of November 3, the result of this course was manifested by a majority of 45,088 for Seymour, although at an election held but a few months previously the Repub lican candidate for Governor had a majority o 7047 a change which could only be brought about by a reign of absolute terror. In Louisiana, also, a system of proscription and persecution was inaugurated under Pre sidential auspioes which resulted in swamping the Repuhlioan majority of 23,287 of last spring, in a majority of 13,447 for Seymour and Blair, excluding the entire vote of twelve parishes where the reign of terror was so paramount and the manner of voting so irre gular that the State canvassers threw it oat in a lump. So much for the "fair trial" which Recon struction upon the Congressional basis has reoeived. But despite all the agencies of terror, despite all the appliances of torture, despite innumerable wholesale butcheries ami cowardly assassinations, despite proscription and persecution, the great work has com pletely triumphed in several of the lately rebellious States, North and South Carolina, especially, being fully restored to their former relations with the Union, and the mass of their people, of all colors and political creeds, are quiescent in the happy result. To the passage from Mr. Johnson's message which we have quoted are to be applied, more than to any other, the words of Senator Con nesa, characterizing it as "a disrespeotful and offensive document." It will, as a matter of courBP, have no weight whatever with Con gress, except, perhaps, to inspire tbat body with redoubled vigilance throughout the short period during which the peace and prosperity of the nation will be hindered and embarrassed by Mr. Johnson's Presidential antics. The Transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department. The prompt aolion of the House of Repre sentatives in passing a bill to transfer the Indian Bureau from the Interior to the War Department oannot be too highly commended. This reform has been agitated for Borne years, but the hostility of those interested in per petuating the present nystem has hitherto pre vented its adoption. The unanimous testimony of the leading military officers engaged ia frontier service, endorsed as it has been in the most emphatic terms by General Grant, oan aoaroely fail to secure the concurrence of the Senate in the aotion of the House, and henceforth we may expect that short work will be made of troubles with the Indians. The agents who are appointed from civil life, aud responsible only to civil authorities, have in many oases shamefully neglected their duties aad cheated the Indians under their charge. At numerous counoilB the aborigines have complained of the frauds practised by the men who should Lave been their protectors, and some of the moit destructive frontier wars are direotly" attributable to knavery of this description. The character of the Government has been belittled in the eyes of the savages by the contemptible action of its agent. Their pre dominant motive being greed, they have not scrupled to dixplay injustice on the one hand and cowardice on the other. While they have plundered the Indians, they have sought to conciliate them by shielding their murderous associates from deserved punishment, and by interposing obstacles to the suooess of the aggressive expeditions organized by the War Department. It is very desirable that in peaceful times and peacefnl plaoes the military power should be subordinate to civil antho- the application of this rule to the -tird. and there can rlty, u. war frontier is manifestly neither be enduring peaoe nor effective whi'.e the power of provoking hostilities and of preventing active operations is lodged in the bauds of civil agents appointed from the ranks of the plundering politicians of the country. General Sheridan's suooess in his recent oampaign is largely due to the fact that, under a temporary arrangement, he was en dowed with authority to consummate his plans without civil interference; and if he is permitted to finish up the task he has com menced, permanent peace and the rapid pro gress of settlement on the old Indian hunting grounds may be confidently anticipated. The policy he is enforcing with reference to the hostile .Indians was devised by General Sher man, and it is suooinctly stated in the report of the Secretary of War to be "peace within the reservations and war without," and as soon as the savages practically realize that the Government is in earnest they will peace fully submit to their inevitable destiny. The reduction in the tax on distilled spirits will apparently secure inoreased revenues from this source. The reoeipts of July, Au gust, and September, 1868, amounted to $8,405,443, or at the rate of more than $33,000,000 annually, while the reoeipts da ring the same period in 1807, when the high tax was imposed, were only $5,293,020, or at the rate of less than $21,000,000 per annum. The new system is not yet fully in operation, and its results cannot be ascertained until it has been completely tested. A significant in dication of the extent of the production of spirits in this country is furnished by the statement of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that the number of distilleries re. gistered and reported is 1090, and although of these only 204 are in operation, their aggregate daily producing capacity is 227 753 gallons. The dangers attendant upon the transpor tation of petroleum are so frequently illus trated,, that the propriety of Congressional action upon this subject, for the protection of passeDgere, can scarcely be seriously ques tioned. It is especially desirable that steam boats and ships carrying petroleum as freight should be prohibited from carrying passen gers, unless a notice warning all who wish to eDgage passage is conspicuously placed upon every vessel ou which this danger is to be encountered. Discoveries have been made which materially lessen the risks involved in the transportation of petroleum, but well known safeguards are not unfrequently neglected, and efforts should at once be made to protect travellers from this insidious peril. "The Whitk Bakkea" in the rather high flying title of a new semi-monthly "literary Journal of progressive philosophy," the publication of wlilch has just baea commence ! in IM city. This Bheet professes to be Intended as the org in of the "Friends. Spiritualists, Llberallats, and Christians witliout reference to creed, caste, or color," but we 11 u 4 ou examining it that Spiritualism Is administered la such heavy doses tbat all else, especially Christianity, la crowded out. The first page Is devoted to certain quaint sped mens of doggerel poetry and barn-strung prose, eutltlod "Harmonlx,' A Harmonious article on Spirituality takes a very cheerful view of the new lrrellglon, de claring that "the modern development of splrl -powtr Is rapidly pulverizing tue creed and fossilized errors of the nges. Its buiadiiizlu i band, like a raaglo wand, waves aside trie vo l which has been cast over all people, And sternly exposes the fallacies of all d guas, Irrespective of Hge, name, color, or creed." la the hops of annihilating all "the creeds aud fossilized errors of the ages," by this spiritualistic process of pulverization, these errors are kindly tolerated as "the highest conception of their mentality," if any but a disembodied spirit can divine what that means. The prevailing notion tbat the ranting harangues of the so-called "mediums" are to be credited to a pent-up condition of things within Is confirmed by the White Banner, which further says: "Mediums and all needing soul sympathy ehall And In the While Banner a media through which to ex press the long pent-up luougut.and thereby gain relief and spiritual strength. " Among the pro-"-m If e J attractions in subsequent numbers of the White Banner will boa local serial romance of "fact, bpli ltual phenomena, and mystery," In wlilch the public may expect to be treated to something of a vory utartllug character. Still, we iir aglne that It will take a few centuries, at the shortest, for the White Banner and 1U cclaboreis ulterly to "pulverlz"aU the creeds and fossilized errors of the agee.
