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. Those who have not yet heard him,
should avail themselves of this opportunity,
as this is a farewell visit. It is curion, ;ft
see this ignorant, almost wild; negro toy,
executing the different •orliposit'imis of
Gottschalk, Thalberg, Beethoven, e:c..with
out unuerstanding a note of nrasr. tie
possesßes a gilt of nature r.Kely
on any human being.

Tits CtiEsTxt 'T.—During the rest of this
week, including Saturday's matinee - A
Nation's Destiny' will nold rue stagy,
favorite farce being played in conne!zion
with it. Next week -The Sleepinvz Beauty"
will be produced, with new and exquisite
music, splendid scenery, gorgeuu?, rlle- s
and rich costumes.
THE Ancrt.—Madame Poniai will appear
in, for her benefit, her noble personauon of
Lady Macbeth, iu "Macbeth' this evening,
supported 'by Tilton. Rankin, Mackay,
Robson, Mrs. Henri, Mrs. Thayer. N 2.. We
do not know• of any actress, now on the
stage, Who can give so superb a personation
of the arduons character of Lady Macbeth
as Madame Ponisi, and old play-goers will
bear us out in the statement. 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." We
believe that nearly every eligible seat is
sold at the time we write, and would there
fore advise all who wish to get inside of the
theatre to be on hand at a very early hour.
The present engagement of Mr. Brougham
has been the greatest triumph of his career.
To-morrow afternoon he will appear in
'Playing vow nre;' Iva I ctu is pre
