Yesterday was the last day of the Pre gldenoyot Andrew Johnson. Eleoted Vloe President by the great party that carried the republio Bttooeesiully through the trials and stroeitles incident w the moat formidable rebellion known, and speedily levated to the Presidency by the pistol oi a Rebel assassin, be dishonored hie inauguration as VioeFresi dent and disgraced bis wnutry by uttering a drunken, Incoherent Urti&o of nonsense be fore the offloial reprenentatives of all oivillsed nations, while the gate of mankind was fiaed upon him, and igualid hi aooeislon to the Presidency by mot iuteniperate dennnola Uons of vengeful Infliction on the now pros trate Rebels inflictions olten imposed on the Tanqnished.bnt never e,loaUd over In advance, nor boasted of, by victors who respeot them lelrea or the opinions of mankind. Ilia sab- 1 sequent transition from "breathing oat threat enings and slaughter" sgainst.the Kebelohiefs and insisting on bis ilht to bang some of them in defiance of General Grant's parole, to complete identification with their views and inteiests, snd the mwet sweeping condonation of their offenses, is characteristic of his selfiih, passionate, csi'iictnu, headlong career. Throughout his Presidential servioe It is quite within the truth to say that he has done bis best to earn the detestation of those who eleoted and the contemptuous plaudits of those who would much sooner hare Toted to bang him who eagerly profited by the treason, but despised the traitor. Mr. John son will leave behind him In Washington the good-will of every man who exulted over the Rebel triumph at Ball Run and ardently longed for the triumphal entry of Lee's army Into the capital; he will return to Tennessee escorted and cheered from city to city by those who wished suooess to the Rebellion, and shunned by niufteen-twentteths of all who wished that Rebellion overthrown. If he becomes a candidate for Governor of Ten nessee, he will reoeiv the votes of nearly all who would have killed him in 1862 if they could, and will be badly beaten by the votes of nearly all those who rejoiced over him as the one Tennessee Demoorat whase soul was untainted by treason. Mr. Johnson was closely followed in bis apostacy by three United States Senators, and a little way by several others, whom a whole some dread of their constituents soon returned to the path of loyalty and duty. We propose to speak here only of the fated three. Mr. James Dixon was twice (in '45 and '47) chosen (from the Hartford . district) a Repre sentative of Connecticut in Congress, and has since been twice (in 6t and '62) eleoted by the Republicans to serve a full term of six years in the Senate. An amiable and courte ous, rather than an earnest or strong man, Mr. Dixon owes much to his personal assi duity and tact in pnshiug his own fortunes; yet even he cannot doubt that few men ever received so muoh from a great and Intellectual party who gave so little in return for it. A Whig by education aud oonviotion, he became a Republican through the foroe of olr oumstanoes, and bad hardly seoured his second term in the Senate w hen he was seen to falter by the war. In the Presidential can vass of 1864, though Connecticut was one of the moat doubtful of the many hard-fought States, persistent efforts to induoe him to raise his voice for Mr. Lincoln's reoleotlon were baffled: heart disease was (very properly) pleaded as his excuse for silence; he oould not even be induoed to affix his signature to the avowal "I desire the reelection of Abraham Linooln to the 1'reBidency." Of course, he sank naturally into the slough of Johnsonlsm, and has for two years past been in full affiliation with the sham Demooraoy, who gave him their votes last summer for a third term in the Senate, and are now running him in bis eld district for the House. And thla is aa it should be. Let him desoend all the rounds of the ladder he asoended, and, having been run out of the Senate for his apontaoy. let him be excluded from the House for the same reason. Be will then be just where he started, save that he has rot over to the wronsr Bide of the fence, and will henoeforth .find his friends among those who throughout his better days were his enemies. Mr. James R. Doollttle of Wisconsin began his career as a New York Demoorat, and as nob. participated in the "Barnburner" revolt of 1848 impelled, we must conclude, rather by his affiliations than his convictions or his sympathies. When that revolt was quelled, he went back to his first love; sup porting Barstow for Governor and Pierce for President. When the Republican party was organised, he stood aloot till late in '68, when he became satis fled that it was oertain to I triumph in Wisconsin any how. He thereupon went in, and had hardly been three months in the Republican party when he became its candidate for the United States Senate t Whether his ability or his assurance was the more influential therein we cannot say: we only know that he had the address to be preferred to better men who bad never oast an anti-Re- tinUlcan vote, and was duly elected. He stayed with us Just long enough to secure his reelection some six years and a half in all for which he was rewarded with twelve years in the Senate. If any one can shave the wind closer than that, we should like to see him try. Able, adroit, and early schooled in the arts of the self-seekiog politician, he has for years done his "level best" against the party which so honored and trusted him; and he flirnrad in our late Presidential oanvass Chairman of the Seymour aud Blair Demo cratic National Committee. He worked like a beaver, with tongue and pen. to defeat Gene ral Grant, and his labors were crowned with tha largest Renublloau vote and the most weening Republican victory ever realised in Wisconsin. We believe the majority there won Id have been 20.000 bad he remained faithful: it was swelled to 24,152 by the in tensity of the popular detestation of Doolittle, hi works and his wavs. Being now out of a situation, we respectfully suggest to Mr. Doo-1 Uttla tha expediency of emigration. Wisconsin has had a surfeit of blm; but this oity whioh haa absorbed Jack Rogers. Sanset Cox, and over so muoh more of the dibrit of past cam- I signs can surely make room for one more, et him oome to New York, by all means, and take a fresh start I ' ... Mr. Danlttl 8.

Tons he entered the Senate on the dav of Mr. Linocln's seoonl Inauguration; sliding easily and naturally into Johnsonlsm, wherein he has ever since wallowed. We cannot rememVer that he has once voted, on any question of principle, otherwise than as he well knew his constitu ents would not wish him to vote. Thus has be earned bis salary for four eventful years: thus will he doubtless oontinue to earn it throughout the next two, in ostentatious defiance of the majority of over fifteen thou sand Just rolled up for General Grant. A ter to-day, be will be the only relio of Johnson lsm, pure and simple, left in Congress, and will thus aohleve adistinotlon to which neither bis talents nor bis principles entitle him. Ills votes will indicate the way hli prototype in ungrateful treaohery would vote, were any miaohanoe to effect his return to the Senate. Thus endeth the Johnson partyl More Sew State Geography 1'enlnsulir Consolidations. from the N. Y. Timet. The map-makers must be in an agony of suspense Just now. Every month brings some new project of State union or State division. Texas hafl divided itself, and Tennessee threatens to do as muoh, while the three peninsulas of Delaware, Florida and Michigan are thinking both of dividing and of reuniting to States adjoining. The Delaware project is the latest among proposed peninsular consolidations. It con templates forming, as we understand, a new State, to include all the peninsula lying be tween Chesapeake Bay aud the ooean, com prising all of Delaware, . Eastern Maryland, and the two Virginia oounties of Aooomao and Northampton which tip the peninsula. The aimounies in eneoting mis consolidation are political, while its geographical proprieties are evident. Delaware, no doubt, would like to absorb the peninsular territory, whtoh would bring her more than double and nearly treble her present domain; and the airs of superiority she would then give herself over poor little Rhode Island would be astonish ing. Little Rhody might be forced in sheer self-defense to annex Conneotlout or Massa chusetts. Meanwhile, two other peninsular projeots are progressing rapidly. That is to say, the Wisconsin Senate has already given assent to the formation of a new peninsular State (to be called, probably, Superior or Ontona gon), out of Northern Wisconsin and Michi gan, while that or the Assembly, ana oi tu Michigan Legislature, and then of Congress are said to be probable. In the Florida penin sula, progress 18 making to Join the western part of the State to Alabama; and we would suggest that the best tning ior me eastern part will be to return the oompliment forth with by joining useii to ueorgia. in mai way the internal brawls of the little State could b aattlnd off-hand. It may be suggested that Delaware oould not do better than to join Maryland, taking the two odd oounties of Virginia with her. But Delaware la one of the original thirteen States, and we must not lose their identity. though we have often divided off portions of them nor even tneir names, we want "thirteen stripes" on our flag b till "not a strive ." as Webster said, "erased or pol luted." So, as the mountain of Delaware cannot go to the Mahomet of Maryland, the Marvland Mahomet snouia go to tne moun tain taking along with It, as we have said, tha two trans-Chesapeake oounties of Vir ginia, together with the disputed oyster-beds, and, 11 need be, ex-wovernor wiee. Ihe War In New Zealand. From the N. Y. T.meA. According to the latest aooounts from New Zealand, the British troops lost no time in making reprisals ter the fearful massaore re cently committed by the natives at Poverty Bay. Ever since the supposed suppression of the native rebellion some three or four years ago. it has been known that the Uaa-Haus, a bloodthirsty and fanatical seot among the Maories, were still plotting against the lives of the frontier settlers: but. with culpable carelessness, the latter seem to have negleoted everv reasonable measure of precaution. When the English royal troops were with drawn, with the exception of one regiment, the settlers took no measures to organize the militia whioh they had undertaken to raise, and the outbreak in November last seems to have taken them completely by sur prise. The Han-Han leader commenced hostilities early in the month, oom pelled the colonial forces opposed to him to retreat, and, finally,with 400 men surprised a pan, or palisaded Intrencnment, from wnion be repulsed nearly an equal number of Earo- reans and Iriendlv natives, the assailants losing their commander, and with great diffi culty rescuing his corpse from the tomahawks of the savages, I hen came the Poverty Hay affair, in whioh nearly every white man. woman, and child in the settlement was put to death by a band of Hau-Haus, who rode into it in the dead of night, in many cases killing their helpless victims in bed. After this, the war seems to have been not unna turally taken np by the colonial authorities in a spirit of extermination, as far, at least. as regarded the Hau-Haus, and preparations were made on tne largest soaie mat tne revenues of the colonists admitted of. Now, at length, their efforts appear to have been successful, and a deoided viotory has been achieved with Inconsiderable loss ninety Maories killed and wounded, with a loss of only three wennded Europeans. It is clear that in this case somewhat more generalship must have been exhibited by the British com mander than has been customary in New Zea land wars. If the Maories had not beenoaught at a disadvantage, they would never have allowed their foes to gain such s bloodless vio tory. Behind intrtnohments, they have more than once proved a match for fully their own number of British troops. ' . , It is to be hoped that, while the whites, both British and colonial, will vigorously fol low np their success against the Hau-Haus, or irreclaimable savages, they will do their best to abstain from needless or indiscriminate slaughtered that,lf possible, thegreat problem as to,wbether a race like the Maori can be saved from extinction in the face of advano ing civilisation may be solved in the affirma tive. - The English in New Zealand have muoh the' same difficulties tb deal with, though on a smaller scale, that we have on the Plains. It remains to be seen how far they will be suc cessful In dealing with them. General Grant's Views About Ills Cubluet. IromtheN. Y. World We are constrained to say at least this in General Grant's favor: .that he is a growing man, and evinceB a rare capacity to improve . by experience. . Completely in the dark as the country is Kept respecting tue uuiupuatwon pi the new Cabinet, it is evident enough, from the stiffness with whioh General Urant de clines advices and repels intrusion,' that he holds a very deoided opinion of his right tothe. ttost perfect freedom of choloe. He repulses all interference because he regards the selec tion of his confidential advisers as his own sole prerogative; as a thing which so pecu liarly concerns hiio that he will brook not TELEGRATH PmLADELPHIA, THURSDAY, merely no onteMe dictation, bat no outside conns!. All this shows that, within the last year, General Grant has been 'making a very commendable proflolenoy la hie poliiioal edooatlon at least upon this nartlnmar i.h. Jeot. About a year ago General (Vaot was one or the most aotive. and bv all oA.u th. efficient man in the country in fomin nnnn President- Johnsen a uemknr of the Cabinet whom he did not want. Had It not n General Grant's nnexpeoted taotl.mi.nii,,. by which President Jounaon was taken in and dweived the President would dir. h.4 A difficulty In getting rid of Stanton. General urant's views at that time respecting the right of the President to be" the sole lodge whom be would have in his Cabinet. wH very different from the views whioh ha hoM on that subjeot at present. Everbody reool- Jeots a remarkable letter which he wrote to President Johnson protesting against tha re moval of Stanton on the ground that the people demanded his retention. General Grant has surprisingly outgrown the idea that publio opinion should be oonaulted and de ferred to bv tha PfftRldont in tha nhnU nf hi. confidential advisers. General Grant's notions as to his exoluslva rights in this matter are so high an t strict that be will not even tolerate the advice of his friends; and yet he la the same man who, a year ago, aided in an effort to compel Presi dent Johnson to take a member of his Cabi net from the dlotatlon of his enemies. In a letter whioh General Grant wrote to the Presi dent about the time that the question of vera city was raised between them, he explained his motives for aooepting the olfiue of Secretary of War ad interim in a manner whioh contrasts oddly enough with his present estimate of his own rights. He then wrote: "From our conversation and my written protest of August 1, 1867, against the ' removal of Mr. Stanton, you must have known that my greatest objeotion to his re moval was the fear that some one would be appointed In his stead who would. by opposition to the laws relating to the restoration of the Southern States .to their proper relation to the Government, embarrass the army in the performance of the duties especially imposed upon it by the laws, and that it was to prevent such an appointment that I aooepted the appointment of Seoretary of War ad interim, and not for the purpose of enabling you to get rid of Mr. Stanton." In the same letter he says that he urged the Pre sident to appoint Uovernor Vox, of Ohio, Beo retary of War In btanton's place. Geueral Grant surely did not entertain, at that time, hte present high notions about the right of the President to be the sole judge whom he would bave in his Cabinet, or the impertinence of giving him advioe on that subjeot. General Grant not only presumed to give to President Johnson a kind ef advice whioh he permits nobody to give to him, but when the advice was not taken he accepted the office himself for the sole purpose of preventing the Presi dent making his own seleotion. Having thus bridged over the Interval till the meeting of the Senate, General Grant,- when the Senate was in session, actively co-operated with the President's enemies ia thrusting back upon him a reousant member of the Cabinet, with whom he could have no offloial interooarae; with whom he was not even on speaking terms. It is very pleasing te witness the ripening influence of General Grant's election upon his politioal eduoationl If his progress has benn equally rapid on all other subjects, we shall not despair of findiog him, on the whole, a tolerably satisfactory President. The novel oourse which Ueneral Urant has been pursuing in relation to his Cabinet oan easily be justified. It has an exoellent . ten dency to eduoate his politioal party to just views of the independmt authority oi the President a kind of education whioh the Republican party greatly needs. It is true that most of the party leaders do not take very kindly to the lesson; but if he per severes, there is no telling what he may not accomplish In time. If he could have taken his pupils in hand at an earlier stage his suc cess might not have been so slow; as it is a very trite observation how much more diffi cult it is to unlearn errors than to Instil truth into minds that are not preoccupied. It is like the difference between writing upon a olean sheet of white paper and preparing a sorawled and blotted sheet for new writing. If General Grant's course is unusual, it mast be remembered in, .extenuation, that the oir oumstanceB are unprecedented. An extraor dinary disease requires an unoommon medi cine. No President-eleot, before General Grant, has been called to seleot a Cabinet in the faoe oi a declared opposition to tne rignts of his office. The Constitution subjeots him to no other restriction than the necessity of sending his appointments to the Senate for confirmation. But Congress has interposed with a law abridging his authority; and when the dignity of bis office is thns dwarfed and its independence undermined, it is fitting and commendable that General Grant should re assert the Presidential prerogatives In a marked and peculiar way. As against the Republican rty, the singular course of General Grant entirely proper. That party strips the President of his rightful authority and makes him the mere vassal of its will. General Grant repels this assumption by taking a very high stand for Executive independence. He repudiates Republican advice, and will not allow that party even to know what he in tends. He tells them, by his conduot, that the seleotion of his subordinates is his business, not theirs; that as they dispute his indepen dence by their legislation, he means to place himself on the extreme boundary of his rights, and to repel, as a meddlesome impertinence, every tort of interference with the absolute freedom of his choice. The course which has excited so muoh oommeut is a natuial and deserved rebuke of the Republican encroachments upon the independence . of the Executive. If the Tennre-of-Office act had been repealed at the beginning of this session, General Grant would probably have responded to and reuiprocaWd that mark of confidence by counselling with his party as all former Presidents have done. But, under the ciroumBtanoes, he is fally j noti fied In Betting np an unusual claim to exemp tion from interference. The spirit of all that Ueneral Grant is doing is In marked hostility to the assumption of Congress to impose npou the President greater restraints in the exer cise of the appointing power than are placed upon him by the Constitution. If he does not suooeed in educating the Republican party to better views, he at least gives gratifying evi dence of the improvement of his own. Krab-All Massachusetts. From tht If. T, Herald. In 1859 Massachusetts received the princi pal of the debt due her bj the United States for money advanoed during the war of 1812-15. Bhe was glad enongh to get that, for her debtor refrained from bringing In a counter bill for damages occasioned by tbe use of bine jiguis ny uabsaohusetts oillzens ior me uene iit ot the enemy during the war. The prin cipal of this debt was obtained through the intlnenoe of that "arch-fiend" Jeff. Davin, and even after paying the lobby bills a handaome bonns was left for the treasury of the State, tbe reoeipt of which was acknowledged in fall liquidation of the claim, principal and inte rest. Now, after a lapse of forty-seven years, Mr. Sumner, in the Senate, puts in a bill for the interest on the debt, whioh he olaims to amount to the snug little plum of five million dollars. Besides all this, it appears that the claim has been transferred to some railroad corporation in Massachusetts, and, in short, is but another of those swindling railroad schemes and jobs to rob the pubUo treasury whioh confer ineffable disgrace noon legisla tion in Washington. If the olaim be persisted in, the following would be a good way to draft the bill: Dnci.x Ham To the Commonwealth of Maisa cbuetla Dr.: .
