Insults if the Session.
fromtheW. T. Tinut.
The session of dngress just closed has
done the conntry as wuoh service by Its re
jection of measures bjr those which have
ftotnall pasaud. It has been a safe, and,
withal, a useful session. It has shown more
moderation than its predecessor, and a more
jnBt tppreoiation of things to be omitted and
things to be done.
The maintenance of the Reconstruction acta
as they are is a feature of the record at once
agreeable and unexpected. There was load
talk last December touching an alleged neces
sity for reopening matters in Georgia, and for
enaoting more Btringent measures for the res
toration of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas. It
was feared that a desire to correct the mis
chievous action of the Georgia Legislature
would lead to proceedings at varlanoe with the
fact of its reconstruction; and that the con
dition of Texas and Mississippi would be made
the pretext for more stringent legislation.
These apprehensions have not been verified.
Georgia has been allowed to remain, as in
truth it is, a State fully restored to the
privileges of the Union; and the States still
excluded are left to the operation of the ex
isting laws. We cannot doubt that these will
prove sufficient for the purpose to be fulfilled.
5'hey have brought back seven States, in spite
of the bad influences of a hostile administra
tion. With this obstacle removed, and an
Executive in hearty accord with the law and
the policy in whioh it originated, we may
hope for an early completion of the work with
WnOBO iliDlurjr Vila f uuiobu vuugioaa 19 juoum.
fed. At any rate, the session now ended has
earned credit for forbearanoe, and faith in the
effloienoy of the law as it stands.
Failure to give effect to the compromise
movement in Virginia, and to promote the
revival ef good feeling throughout the South
ly some generous and comprehensive mea
sure in regard to disabilities, is a defect that
ought not to be overlooked. By sweeping
away remaining disabilities at a stroke, the
majority would have fulfilled the magnani
mous promise of the Chicago Convention, and
averted the suepiolon which attaches to the
jellef of Individuals who come endorsed by
noisy partisans. By acceding to the proposi
tion of the Virginia committee, and either
eliminating from the new constitution its
prosoriptive provisions, or calling together a
fresh convention to draft another instrument,
Congress might have secured the early resto
ration of the State, and done much to win the
respect and confidence of its people. The
friendly reception extended to the committee,
and the general lairness of the Republican
leaders, encourage the hope that something of
the kind will yet be effected.
The only positive aotion in any manner
connected with the principles underlying re
construction is the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment, forbidding the denial of the
right to vote by any State "on aooount of
race, color, or previous condition of servi
tude." The enactment of the amendment is
bj implication a repudiation of the ultra
doctrine that would confer upon Congress
power by mere legislation to control the suf
frage. And the amendment, by guaranteeing
Impartial Instead of universal suffrage, leaves
all that is vital in the authority of the
States untouched. Whether it fail or succeed
now depends upon th will of the States
themselves.
To what extent the popnlar demand on the
sub j sot of retrenchment has been met, it is
difficult at this moment to ascertain. A cer
tain confusion still hangs over the final con
dition of this branch of the business. Tais,
however, is certain: efforts at retrenchment
have been made with an energy that betokens
reduced expenditures. The injudioious ten
dency of some of these efforts is pardonable,
in view of the good that has really been
accomplished. 1 Army expenses have been out
down in a way not incompatible with efficiency,
and generally a desire has been manifested to
correct the extravagances engendered by the
war. The fact that much is yet to be done in
the direotion of economy should not blind us
to the saviDgB already effected.
The reduotion of expenditures has been ren
dered more significant by the refusal to tole
rate schemes promoted by railroad and other
"rings." The peril to the Treasury has been
great. In half a dozen forms attempts have
been made to pledge the pnblio credit and to
squander the public lands for the enrichment
of corporations. To some of these schemes
Senators have lent themselves with most
Buspioious zeal, but the firmness of Congress
has prevented their consummation. The
defeat of these swindles is among the gratify
log results of the session.
On financial questions the course pursued
has been practical, and on the whole bene
fi tial. Little encouragement has been given
to plans for legislating back specie payments.
That which has been most persistently pushed
is Mr. (Sherman's, and we may well be thank
ful that it si umbers in the Senate. The coun
try will be glad to have resumption when it
comes naturally and to last; bat there is a
wholesome aversion to contrivances which,
nnder the plea of promoting resumption,
would enlarge the debt, and inflict upon In
dustry the evils of contraction. For all that
is really useful in the matter of liaance we
may thank the House. The Publio Credit
and Coin Contract bill and the bills remedy
ing the abuses arising from the certifying of
checks and the locking np of currency as
collaterals, were born in the House, and con
stitute the financial features of the session.
Another measure not less necessary namely,
that forbidding the increase of the bonded
debt, preventing the jobbery and scandal of
treasury agencies, and imposing upoa the
treasury the performances of Its own duties
has been sacrificed in the Senate Committee.
For this non-action Mr. Sherman ia mainly
responsible. . .

Fmldent Grant and Ex-rresldent John
son.
JPVom the N. T. Tribune.
Tba farewell address of ex-President John
son and the inaugural of President Grant
ought to be read aloud by every fireside in
the country. Having proposed repudiation
to Congress in his annual message, Mr. John
ion U silent as to the obligation to pay our
national debt in cood faltu. President Grant
THE Daiii EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY,
is explicit and emphatic in Insisting that we
can and will pay the uttermost farthing; that
we can easily do so from our vast sad dally
augmenting resources; and that our national
honor, our lasting reputation, as well as our
true interest, imperatively require that we
should so pay. This declaration is worth
countless millions to the labor, com me roe,
and prosperity of the Republic Mr. John
son's proposal of repudiation would have
damaged us incalculably if it had not bean
promptly rebutted by Congress. We have
beard the last impeachment of Amerloan
honesty, and the last assault upon American
credit, from the Presidential chair I
Mr. Johnson harps Incessantly upon his de
votion to the Federal Constitution, and winds
up by proposing a more radical change than
has ever jet been made. President Grant
simply urges the ratification by the States of
the amendment already adopted by Congress
whether he likes the laws or not, he will
obey and enforce them. Mr. Johnson assails
Congress upon every oonoeivable ground
even for the failure to try Jefferson Davis 1
Over that proceeding Congress had no control
whatever. The President makes and directs
Distrint Attorneys, and is charged with the
execution of the laws. The audaoity of this
attack outdoes its intrinaio absurdity. Jeffer
son Davis was in his hands, as President,
from the time he was captured in the pine
woods of Georgia, and it was for him to see
that he had a speedy and impartial trial.
Congress had nothing to do with the matter,
one way or the other, and made no effort to
assert our authority. Mr. Johnson's asser
tion that he might have kept our vast volun
teer forces embodied long after the IUballiou
was suppressed, and even employed them in
the prosecution of a foreign war, shows him
to be grossly ignorant as well as oonoeited.
The President has no power to make war.
The Constitution oonfides that to Congress.
Any attempt on the part of Mr. Johnson to
have retained-, our volunteers under arms
when they were no longer needed, would have
rendered him even more detested than he
now is. This expression of his supposed au
thority only shows how sadly he underrates
the intelligence and repubuoan spirit of his
countrymen.
It is a blessed consolation that Andrew
Johnson has ceased to difgraoe his oountry in
a public station. He will oontinue to be the
low, unscrupulous demagogue he has already
so often proved himself, and is still capable of
considerable mischief. His power for evil can
never again be a tithe of what it was. For
three years he has done all that one bad man
could do to keep the country in turmoil, to
strengthen the spirit of Rebellion, and to
excite a war of races. The most he can do
henceforth is to defend as a local demagogue
the wrongs which a national calamity so long
enabled him to enact as President. Let us
thank God that we are bo easily and so hap
pily rid of him, and that we can turn our
faces with hope and trust to the glad auspices
of future harmony and prosperity afforded by
the accession and the inaugural of President
Grant.
Gladstone's Posit iou.
from the S. T. Tribune.
The cable summary of Mr. Gladstone's pro
posal to disestablish the Irish Church in the
United Kingdom, though necessarily meagre
in detail, yet supplies a digest of the plan
sufficient to enable those conversant with the
question to comprehend its soope. That
Church has always bean an anomaly. It re pre
sesiea me property, not me people, it was
supported by the land-owners against the will
of the tenants of the sou, and practically was
a missionary churoh without disciples. Even
within her own body a large portion of her
revenue was held by lay impropriators who
aid nothing even in appearance for their
annual income. Therefore U was ripe to fall,
and the provisions of the bill foresee a fresn
organization of religious bodies more suited
to the temper and more effioaoious to the
moral advancement of Ireland than what has
been hitherto miscalled the National Churoh.
Its funds, amounting to above eighty million
dollars gold, are to be applied one-half to
compensation of the interests destroyed by
the action of the bill, and one-half to "the
advantage of the Irteh people, for relief in
cases of unavoidable calamity or suffering" a
skeleton outline whioh will be filled up in
detail and thoroughly sifted during its pas
sage through the two houses of Parliament;
and here will be the great battle foretold bv
Mr. Disraeli in his memorable prophecy.
They will fight over the plunder." Ireland
is
pretty equally divided, for. thoueh the
Catholios greatly exceed in numbers, the Pro
testants hold four-firths of the land and nearly
all the trade and industry.
Unfortunately, the feeling has always been
bitterly hostile between the Orangemen and
Roman Catholics, and hitherto the oil thrown
on the troubled waters has only blazed the
fiercer. It will be in the reoolleotlon of most
that the education of the south of Ireland was
provided for by the Qaeen'a chartering a uni
versity, composed oi colleges in various cities.
where the instruction is wholly secular. This
satisned the wants or the Catholics, and for
some years was acquiesced in by their hier
archy; but of late they have been the objeot
of violent attack as ''Godless Colleges" on the
part of the bishops and the press of that reli
gion, without, however, much impairing their
numbers or efficiency. A serious dillerenoe
arose in Parliament in the commencement of
the session of 1 fc(jt between two of the leading
members oi me isrltisii Cabinet, the Premier
and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as to a
political compact made with the supporters In
Parliament oi tue rapal rule In Ireland to
alter the charter in favor of an extended
Council of Management to let in Roman
Catholic bishops in exohange for political sup
port. Neither of these gentlemen has for-
. -a . - al fA
gotten the debate, or is iiKeiy to lose sigui oi
the pledges given to tue uouse ana 10 iue
nation that no alteration by the Crown should
be attempted but by and with the advice of
Parliament; still less the signal failure or tue
attempt that was then made to do so. Ilenoe
the preeen, appear to the oountry, and up to
the present time the almost unanimous con
currence of politicians, that the day is arrived
for settling the whole question, and the only
difference of statesmen is, as usual, the man
ner in which it is to be done. This is more
than ordinarily hszirdous ia the face of the
difficulty freely pointed out by Mr. Gladstone
in his opening remarks en the preamble of the
bill, viz.: that in the asoendancy of any one
church in Ireland, bitter feelings on the part of
the Irish people would never cease. But the
piinciple that answers so well In this oountry,
sb it has in every nation and people so blessed
as to conquer their right to it, is more than
ever applicable to Ireland oivil and religious
liberty. If the union of Churoh and State has
been productive of evil for centuries of op
pression and retaliation, of pains and penal
ties, of denunciations from altars, of evlotlons
and murder, it is high time to divoroe suoh
Incongruous partners; and what Mr. Disraeli
calls confiscation will only be a disgorging of
ill-gotten and very ill-spent gains. The arm
of the State will be freer on the one hand to
foster and proteot the institutions for educat
ing and improving the people, for ameliorating
their present low moral and social condi
tion, and lor placing on a
iroad and enduring tasU ohamai of
elevation and advancement of the muoh en
during but debased masses, aud on the other
will be less hampered and embarrassed in
Bulking at the hand, however powerful, or
whatever kin or kind may attempt to trammel
or shut up the stream of oduoation and know
ledge for the welfare of the poor and frlend-
1ms. i his is tue proper scope of a bill for
the advancement of the Irish pttople. Sydney
Suiith says the trauslation of Kiln iro I!ruh
should be, Erin go bread and cheese, Erin go
shoes and coals without hoUa in them, ilow
much more education means to learn, manna
to simplify knowledge, to open up treasures
of industry and usefulness, to give light to
tne eye, neanog n me ear, ana understanding

Fx-rrcMuont Johnson's Valedictory.
Jfrom the Jf. T. Herald.
The valedlotory of Mr. Johnson Is, in some
respeots, a curious dooument, a strange
jumoieoi irnm, inconsidienoy, ana unappre
oiation of the great foroes which have bnen
moving our people in the past four years. The
indication of "my pohoy" appears to be Its
key-note. We all know that "my policy" meant
the restoration of political parties to the same
relative status they held at the outbreak of the
was an impossibility, from the faot that po
litioal parties are the outgrowth of existing
conditions, and the conditions existing to-day
for politioal results are totally aiuereut from
those of 18C1. "My polioy" meant, therefore,
an attempt to turn the revolution and its in
numerable changes ba?k upon itself. The re
sistanoe made by the United States Congress
naturally resulted in the complete swamping
of the executive element that so stubbornly
refused to reoognize that the war had settled
anything.
Mr. Johnson has no right to arrogate to
himself the honor of disbanding the army; the
people did it. Boasting of the position he held
at the oloBe of the war, at the head of the oivil
and military power, he says: "With a large
army and augmented authority, it would have
been no diffioult task to direct at pleasure the
destinies of the republlo and to make secure
my oontinuanoe in the highest office known
to our laws." This looks a little dictatorial.
Perhaps Congress saw Mr. Johnson's inolina
tions in this direotion when they put the ourb
on him so tightly. The power of this ourb
shows, however, how empty is the braggado
cio that pervades the greater part of his vale
dictory. The people will never believe that
the war was a "studendous aud deplorable
mistake." Nearly eighty years of tremen
dous strides under two antagonistic systems
of progress made war a necessity, and made
it necessary that the conquered system should
forever abandon its hopes. It was the sap
port of these wrecked hopes by Mr. Johnson
that has kept the oountry unsettled since
aotlve war closed.
Mr. Johnson says truly, however, when he
states that the trouble between him and Con
gress has proven that the Executive power is
very weak in a contest with the legislative
branch of the Government, and that the su
premacy of party, right or wrong, is to be
feared. He says "it is not, therefore, difficult
to see how easily and how rapidly the people
may lose their liberties by an unoheoked and
uncontrollable majority in the law-making
power." It is also true that the legislative
power "have, in times of peaoe, increased
the national debt by a reckless expenditure of
the pnblio monys;" "they have built up and
enoouraged monopolies and have thus added
to the burdens which already wiigh upon the
people." These things have, however, little
to do with the political battle between M
Johnson and Congress. They have not caused
this or increased its bitterness. The last half
of this curious document is full of the invective
of disappointment against the power which
refused to recognize that there could be but
one method of arranging our national troubles,
and that method "my policy." Mr. John
son, with this angry and parting shot, steps
from omoe clinging stubbornly to his opinions.
embodying in bis valedlotory the most curious
mixture of personal vanity aad self-abnega
tion, statesmanship and narrow-mindedness,
sound doctrines aud untenable ones, invective
and earnest appeal, denunciation and prayer,
braggadocio and self-defense, that has ever
appeared in any document issuing from the
Exeoutive Department since the formation of
the Government, is be sane r
Shall Welfare a Federal Convention
From the N. T. World,
We printed yesterday a temperate and
well-reasoned communication advocating
various amendments to the Federal Constitu
tion: some of them merely for the purpose of
symmetry and pruning away dead limbs and
excrescences, and others for introducing what
most intelligent judges would admit to be
substantial reforms. The changes proposed
by the writer are somewhat numerous, and
could not be very well engrafted on the Con
stitution except by a convention of the
States a machinery of revision which has
never yet been called into play, although pro
vided for in tbe uonatitutioo. ua tne appli
cation of two-thirds of tbe States, Congress
is oblieed to call a convention, and its work,
like separate amendments proposed by Con-
cress, reaulres the ratification of three-fourths.
We have no hesitation in indorsing the sub-
stacce of our corrrspondenl's recommenda
tions, although, on fuller examination, we
might differ from him considerably in details.
We yield to none in veneration tor the Con
stitution: but what we reverenoe is its funda
mental principles, not its exorescences and
imperfections, its occasional ambiguous
phraseology and obsolete provisions, r-a-
liifbteried appreciation of the great excellences
of that admirable instrument is not promoted
by a pedantic and superstitious worship of its
improvable parts, it la not well to be per
petually tampering with its phraseology and
charging its minor provisions; but it would be
wise, alter an experience of seventy years, and
considering tbe greatly altered state of the
country, to haul the good old ship for once
into the dry-dook for advantageous repairs.
A revision would be worth whiR even for
nitre symmetry, although that motive is not
sufficiently nrgent to j usury tne caning or a
convention. The separate amendments which
bave been from time to time adopted, give
tbe Constitution a patch-work appearanoe;
tbe provlsioBS which are annulled or
modified remaining to disfigure the in
strument, and the amendments, instead
of falling in their appropriate places in con
nection with the subjects to which they are
germane, are tacked on like loose shreds to
the tail of a kite. Thus, there remains in th
attlcle relating to the constitution of the Ex
ecutive Department the old obsotete provision
whioh prevailed before there was a separate
vote for Vice-President, and we bave to seek
In a draggling heap of miscellaneous amend
ments in another plaoe for the actual mode of
eieotlng the highest officers of the Uovern-
ment. Bo the amendment abolishing slavery
superannuates numerous provisions soattered
through the instrument whioh grew out of
the existence of that institution, and whioh
now remain not merely as exorescences, but as
blots. Even the first ten amendments, whioh
were adopted soon after the organization of
the Government, are shoved into oUooro
baok seats, whereas their proper plaoe would
be in the very front oi tne instrument in tun
form of a bill of rignts. inese instances will
suffice for illustration; they point to a kind or
reduction whioh can never be performed
exoept by a convention, i nere is no reason
why there shouia remain in me constitution
things whioh have ceased to be in foroe, nor
why the amendments whioh have oanoelled
them should be soatterea nap nazara at me
end of the instrument without being digested
into any order or method.
None of the changes recommended by our
correspondent have a party bearing, a cir
cumstance which ougni to gain lor mem a
oandid consideration. Most of them are of
such obvious utility that they will reoom
mend themselves without much argument or
explanation to all who have watohed the
workings of our Government and are ac
quainted with the doors by which most of
the existing abuses have entered. But it re
quires a movement so extensive and con
certed to set in motion the maohlnery fjr
calling a Federal Convention, that we fear
the languid interest our people feel in things
not eonneoted with party politlos will prove
insufficient to set the wheels in motion.
