rnM:NG BUILETIN. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 22; 1865. CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT. The Christmas holidays afford a Con tressiOnal interregnum of a fortnight, and, whatever disposition there may be in any quarter to provoke compel a rupture between the President and the predominant party in each house,itmust be suspended for a wile at least. The extreme men on either side must sub mit to the cessation of hostilities, even though they may employ the time in preparations for,. renewing them more vigorously. During a period of bitter war, like that which prevailed in the United States for four years, men entertain and express opinions on certain points that they need not be rigidly bound to after the resto ration of peace. Suchopinions and their dissemination are a part of the war, and they are essential to keeping up the bel ligerent spirit,on which success depends. President Johnson was peculiarly situa ted during the war, and we can never forget how he, in a State most bitterly rebellious, labored and suffered for the tense of the Union. He often said things which were essential in a time of war, and which did much to keep up the hearts of loyal people everywhere. Sud denly, by an act of Providence, he became the head of tho - nation, and at the same time the war was over and ~peace pre vailed throughout the Union. Trans ferred thus abruptly to a post of tremen dous difficulty and responsibility, with armed opposition of the government at an end, the weapons he had used in its defence were to be changed for others, or at least were to be modified. The restoration of confidence among the people of all the States and the re-estab lishment of their pradical relations with the Union, which had been disturbed, not broken, were the great tasks before him. Mr. Johnson has labored at these tasks with a conscientiousness and moderation, united with firmness, that are worthy of admiration. Whether he has been entirely wise in everything that he has done, no one can yet positively affirm or deny. But we do affirm that he has been conscientious and sincere, and has acted according to the best light that he could obtain. He has not abandoned one of the principles for which he made such a brave fight during the whole war. But he has expressed them in more moderate language, and without the passion that we all felt when the exist ence of the nation was in danger. It would be unbecoming in him, as the President of the United States, to have done otherwise, especially when his duty plainly was to do all in his power to restore mutual confidence between the Northern and Southern people. We believe that he is thoroughly anxious to defer to the sentiments of the major ity of the Northern people, and therefore we do not approve of the intemperate and premature assaults upon him that have been made in each house of Con gress. His entire policy must not be prejudged, either favgably or unfavor ably. He is the herd of the Govern ment, and -as such he is entitled to the support of Congress until he does some flagrant act, or abandons the principles um which he was eleeted, along with Abraham Lincoln. There is not an idea expressed in the Baltimore platform of . 1 ,,, L %-!eh has not been fully adhered ‘, t - 17 President Johnson. to and vindicateu . The innuendoes of Senator F.:. tomer and others against the President aVe not worthy of those gentlemen, and we are not prepared at once to go so far as they would have us. When Mr. Sumner says that go state ought to be recognized in Congr , ess that denies the right of suffrage to its colored citizens, he pronounces an opinion that would drive the Penn sylvaiaia delegation out of Congress; for until our Constitution is -amended, none but white citizens can vote in this State. We believe that the day is not distant when the right of suffrage will be ex tended in Pennsylvania; but until it is, the State is under the ban of the Senator from Massachusetts. The President has found able defenders among the Republicans of each house," against the assaults of the extremists. Mr. Raymond, of New York, a sketchof whose remarks is published elsewhere, undoubtedly takes the right ground. He does not want the doors of Congress opened atone to delegations from States lately in rebellion, without full guaran tets of their sincerity in their lOyal pro' testations. But he denies that they are, or ever have been, out of the Union. This was the repeatedly expressed opin ion of Abraham Lincoln*, and of the vast majority of the war party throughout, the rebellion. It would be, puerile to abandon it now that the war is ended. We believe that the repose of the holi .day vacation will bring °the i r members, whose minds have heretofore not been made un, to a similar view, and that eventually the twd houses will agree upon a plan of reconstruction which will be approved by the President, and that the whole country will then settle down to the peace and security that are needed -so nnich;.and that without abating a jot front the "doctrines of loyal men through out the war. STANDING TOGETHER" In the course of an able editorial on Kentucky polities, the Louisville Jour= -nal urges that all true Union men should bury past difibrences in the grave of slavery, and should stand together in the great work of restoring the prosper ity of the State. The main questions involvedin the struggle have been de cided, the Journal thinks, "partly by theprogress of events, and partly by the silent judgment of thei loyal American people." It "By pursuing' this THE DAILY EVENINtx BIJLLETIO': course, the tn'e s interests of the South will be " Pre'Jted, and a sound, conserva tive sent - Ant in the Northern States. be 4ren:, b •theried. In this policy is in- - volved, the success of the true national party for, the future, no less than the Pleservation of a healthy Tnion senti ment in Kentucky." We have not al ways been able to sympathize with or endorse our Louisville cotemporary, but we do so heartily in the present case, making a general application of its ideas to the entire country. The Republic has gone through a terrible, sanguinary, exhausting war. The great cause of that war is as dead as the corpse of Julius Caesar. We have now to build up the national prosperity, to create a new era of good feeling, to beein to pay off a vast national debt. We have to keep our arms burnished so as to be ready for a foreign war in case it is threatened— that very readiness being "the cheap de fence of nations." We have to bring to bear the eloquence of the orator, the wisdom of the statesman, the shrewd ness of the practical American.the truth and honor of the patriot and the fervent piety of the Christian, so that such vital questions as yet remain unsettled may be adjusted calmly, wisely, philanthrop ically, justly, and altogether in a man ner worthy of the noblest, freest, bravest Christian nation on earth. How can this be done if in the very Senate halls of the Republic, blind partisan fury, in sensate prejudice, blatant demagoguism or stolid "so.called" conservatism are to reign, to the exclusion of generous con sideration of all sides of all, questions? If our STATESMEN do not exhibit wisdom, where are we to look for it? If THEY cannot rise "to the height_of the great argument," in the spirit which guided those who controlled the destinies of the infant Republic in 1776 and 1789, who can we expect to show , common sense and patriotism Can we look for these qualities among the great mass of the Southern people? We trow not. Will it be found among the masses of the loyal North and West'? We shall see. So far, in every time of doubt, de feat and disaster,the fate of the Republic has been in their hands; their strong right arms have upheld the ark of our liberties, and the voice of public opinion, often quiet and not apparently powerful, has yet, like the murmur of the ocean, filled every ear in the laud, and thrilled every heart with its vibrationd, so that events have been controlled by that monitor in a way that great captains and statesmen did not dream of. Will it not be so now ? Will not the sober second thought of American citizens so influ ence our leaders as that they will do everything for the country and nothing for mere faction? Not to be misunderstood, we will add that we believe that out of the turmoil at Washington, and throughout the South, regenerative results will be evolved. Manhood suffrage, sooner or later, will be the law orthe land. Every one will he equal, so far as political equality can be made to extend, and ere long the onward progress of the Republic, one and indivisible, will be renewed more gloriously than ever. ABOUT ASHES We respectfully submit to the assem bled wisdom of the town, in City Councils assembled, that long rows of ash-boxes, ash-barrels, ash-pots, . ash kettles and ash-pans arranged along the curb-stones are by no means ornamental. We doubt their utility,too,wheu they are suffered to remain from day to day, and from week to week, only to be emptied by :he sloip :4.'er40974 of 4 11 9 Willi; the winds to scatter their contents into the eyes, noses and mouths of passers-by, or by the more summary process adopted by mischievous urchins of capsizing the whole into the gutter. We submit, too, that it does not look well for the authori ties of a great city to allow gatherers of ashes to go from door to door hitckstering and chaffering 'with house-keepers as to the price to be paid them for removing the ;ashen deposits, and allowing the barrels, boxes, &c., to remain unemptied if the high contracting parties cannot come to terms. In Constantinople,when a fire breaks out, the Turkish firemen hurry to the scene of the conflagration, not to put the fire out, forthwith, but to negotiate upon the terms of payment for doing the job. While this bargain ing is going forward the fire is doing the same thing, and if the owner of the blazing house chances to be a very poor or a very close-fisted Constantinopolitan, there is nothing left to bargain for by the time a contract is agreed upon, and the Mussulmen firemen soon have an abundance of new customers' offering. If ashes placed at street doors on a windy day caused no annoyance except to the owners thereof, we should care very little; but these ashes become a public grievance, when every breeze is rendered as guilty as a first-class sea breeze of a dry day among the• sand hills of Atlantic City, and when the gentle zephyrs seem to have had their rise somewhere to the windward of - Vesuvius, when that interesting emi nence was about .. , getting up a second edition of the laiit days of Pompeii. Ash-gathering, like putting out fires, should be a public duty„ for the failure to attend promptly to either is a pu , lie nuisance. Will not the city Fathers take the matter promptly in hand and relieve us of this tribulation of ashes, if not of sackcloth? ITALIAN OPERA.—The sale of season tickets at Trumpler's, yesterday, for the approaching opera season, yielded over $7,300. Whig - is something wholly unparal leled, *id gives assurance that there wil be a succession of fine houses.. Those stilt wishing to secure choies_seats should lose no time. 'The season will open,on Monday evening, January let. ORGAN • COXICERT.—Mr. James Pearce, M. 8., ` Organist .of St. Mark's church, per lormed a selection of organ mnsie at the Church •bf the Holy Trinity_•yesterday afternoon,in presence of a number-of - ladies and gentlemen, whb attended byinvitation. The occasion was a very pleasant one, tge programme being composed 'of works of the best writers for the instrhment, and the performance being of a 'high degree of excellence. The old German school was represented in Bach's Padlude in E flat, and Fugue in B minor; the 'modern German in Sonata No. 6, by Mendelssohn, while the French and English -schools were heard respectively in the offertoire of Wely, or ganist of the "Madeleine" at Paris, and Hopkins, organist at the "Temple" Church, London. Some selections from Handel and Haydn varied the attractions of the concert. these various styles illustrative of dif ferent periods and manner of treating the instrument, Mr. Pearce showed that his studies had not been con lined to any school to the neglect of others. His combinations of stops evinced judgment and taste,and his command of the manuals and pedals Kaye evidence of assiduous and earnest applica tion in overcoming the technical difficulties pecular to the organ. A pedal passage in Mendelssohn's Chorale, varying the melody was particularly smooth and even in its rendering. The organ of the "Holy Trinity" is not well adapted to Mr. Pearce's playing, being difficient in the diapason quality of tone and too light in the ptdals, and beyond all this, is bgdly placed in a tower, and the building itself is specially objectionable from its evident want of acoustic proper ties. In view of these shortcomings of the building and the instrument, we were agreeably surprised in the effects produced by Mr. Pearce. With the exception of ' the attempt to in troduce organ concerts, Some years ago, at Concert Hall, and the occasional perform ances at the opening of new organs, where however, much is heard of a light and trivial character, the public of this city have been unable to hear this noble instru ment as it is treated by the great writers for it. We hope that this conccrt of Mr. Pearce may stimulate him anti others to further efforts, and we doubt not the public, or at least that portion connected with the churches, will patronise them liberally. BLIND. To.m.—This remarkable musi , 7al phenomenon is announced to give a series of perforthances, af.ernoon and evening, at the Academy of Music, during Christmas week.

The after piece will be "Slasher and Crasher," with the inimitable Robson and Marlowe in the cast. "Lost in London" will soon be pro duced in grand style. Tut: WALNUT.—For his benefit to-night Mr. John Brougham appears in "The Serious Family" and in "Pocahontas."
