THE POLICY OF CONGRESS. The elOquent speech of Speaker Col fax, delivered in Washington on Tues day, in response to a serenade from citi zens of Indiana, may fairly be taken as embodying the sentiments of Congress upon the all-absorbing subject of recon struction. Compared with some of the popular addresses made upon similar occasions, which have become unhap pily familiar to us of late, Mr. Colfax's remarks are as significant as they are dignified and eloquent. Free from all attempts at mere clap-trap effect, all flights of hollow rhetoric and all appeals to the passions and prejudices of men, he gives the country a tangible clue to the past and present attitude of Congress. Mr. Colfax meets the oft-repeated charge that Congress "has done nothing," by pointing out how much it has done and is doing. He shows that the President, instead of assembling Congress a year ago and acting concurrently with it, spent eight months in developing his own policy, which has as yet produced so little substantial fruit. He indicates, step by step, the measures by which Congress ever since 1862 has been laying down the broad foundations upon which alone theshattered fabric of the Union `can be safely re-built. He condenses into a single sentence the fundamental prin ciple of reconstruction when he says : "Loyal men shall govern a preserved Republic." The mitrked feature of Speaker Col fax's speech is the distinct avowal that Congress has planted itself, immutably, upon Mr. Johnson's own platform. The policy of reconstruetion which it has adopted is, in Mr. Colfax's words, that "laid down by Andrew Johnson• with such emphasis and earnestness in his speeches made to the people between the month of June, 1864, and the month of May, 1865." The position assumed by Mr. Johnson was so clearly marked that the people at large can never be deceived about it, andar. Colfax, echoing, as he undoubtedly does, the sentiment of the whole Union party of the country, takes ground from which neither clamor, nor sophistry, neither cajolery nor force can dislodge him. The sentiments upon the strength of which Mr. Johnson became President of the United States were so plain and simple and appealed so directly to the loyal impulses of the people, that they form to-day the cardinal articles of faith upon which Congress rests itself. Mr. Colfax has, openly proclaimed this fact, when he put these words on record:— "I endorse his sentiments, proclaimed by him in Nashville the night he was nominated Vice President, and by him in the capital the day when the news of . the surrender of Lee's army was re ceived. I endorse the sentiments uttered by him to various committees upon his . entering on the Presidency. I learned those sentiments from him and cannot unlearn them now. I believed them then, and I believe them still." • Mr. Colfax's speech was well timed and well conceived. There is no rant about it, but thereis wonderful strength. The], is no cunning or elaborate law yer's argument in it, but it is instinct with the conviction of solid truth. The people will see, from these "words of truth and soberness" that the howl of "Radicalism!" which is so sedulously directed against Congress by the rebels of the North and Smith alike, is little better than the old cry of "Stop thief!" by which the real culprit seeks to eover his escape. If it be Radical 'to be ex ceeding jealous of our national honor, exceeding careful of our national safety, exceeding joyful over our national free dom, the Congress is Radical. If it be Radical to be bold, brave and consistent in maintaining the, principles and senti ments of Andrew Johnson, proclaimed by him as Senator, Governor, Vice Pre sident and even since he assumed the Presidential chair, then Congress is Radical. If it be Radical to declare that "Treason is a crime and must be made odious," and that "Loyal men shall govern a preserved Republic," then Congress is Radical. But it is a Radi calism that lies as near to the hearts of the people as it does to the principles of Eternal Truth itself. THE DEERING MASSACRE. The community is appalled, to-day, with the news of a frightful tragedy which has no parallel in the criminal records of Philadelphia. A whole fam ily, father, mother, children and another relative beside, are found brutally butchered, under circumstances of the most curdling horror. It difficult, even with all the sickening details be fore us, to realize that a monster, capa ble of such a deed, can exist in a civilized community. The evidence thus far ob tained indicates that this wholesale mas sacre had no better motive than that of mere plunder, which is so sure to betray the murderer, and the wretched assassin who is to-day skulking from the pursuit of justice, with his hands steeped in the blood of innocent women and children, cannot possibly escape the swift justice of outraged law. The mind staggers in the effort to conceive the depth of savage depravity which must be reached before so fiend ish a deed can be consummated, and we leave the terrible topic, with the earnest hope that the efforts of the officers of justice for the arrest of the murderer may speedily be crowned with success. ~ I :4h J 1 The Union Passenger Railway Com pany has purchased the contract for conveying the mails between the Cen tral and Sub-Post-offices of the city. By this ingenious expedient the action of our State Legislature,regnlating Sunday travel, is evaded in the case of this one company, which will hereafter enjoy a monopoly additional to those exercised by the Board of Railway Presidents collectively. The experiment of trans ferring mail matter by means of the street cars is a new one, and will require some time to demonstrate its usefulness, efficiency and safety. The plan adopted contemplates the conveyance of the instils, several times a day, to the sub-offices. The bags will be conveyed by band to the line of the road at Sev, enth and Ninth streets, and again by hand from the nearest paints of the same line to the sub-offices. In other words, instead of sending the bags by a light wagon from one office to the other, the carrier will make part of the trip on foot and part by a street car. There is an apparent gain of time by the new plan, as the same mail-wagon at present makes an extended circuit, including several sub-offices. Whether there will be the same security in the transmission of the mails may be a matter of doubt. Some of the sub-offices are quite remote even from the line of this all-comprehensive road, and in these cases the bags must of course be carried by a single carrier a distance of several squares. The second feature of the new plan is the collection of letters from all parts of the city and their conveyance to the Central office. This is to be done by at taching iron boxes to the cars, in which letters may be placed,at any point of the line. Each car is to be stopped at the intersection of Chestnut street with Sev enth and Ninth streets, the box opened and the letters removed. It is not pro posed to supersede the use of the lamp post boxes, which will be visited peri odically as before, but to give this as an additional facility to the public. How this new plan will work will depend upon the fidelity of the agents employed and the degree of oversight exercised by our Postmaster. It looks, at first sight, like every cumbrous piece of machinery to effect a very simple object, and to those who have either principles or pre judices adverse to Sunday travel, it will probably appear as a mere ruse on the part of the railway company to evade the existing laws on that vexed subject. As there are no letters delivered on Sunday the itiestion will be raised whether it is necessary to run the cars for the whole day, on service from which the public will derive no advantage. There is a strong prejudice in the minds of the community against monopolies, and we believe that even those who are most opposed to . Sunday travel would rather see all the roads in operation than to have the privilege conferred upon one,to the excision of all the rest. DOWN AMONG THEE DEAD MEN. The Gotham ite3 are a remarkable people. They are immense in the way of demonstrations of all sorts, but since the famous Herald banquet to Miles O'Reilly, we have seen nothing so funny as the announcement that the Manhattan Club (A 1 Copperhead) is abouito feast the defunct members of Congress. The Ex-Hon. James Brooks is to be the eeptral figure pf the pod _ : • ), A, TIIIIPSDAY, APRIL 12. 1866 mcrtem entertainment, and he is to be flanked' by Ex-Senator-elect Stockton, and Ex-Hon. D. W. Voorhees. After the funeral baked meats which will be served by the celebrated firm of Omer jorum, have been disposed of, Mr. Belmont, as chief Undertaker will toast "Our Illustrious Dead," and the three "bodies" will rise, in turn, and narrate their ante-mortem experiences. We shall look for some startling revelations, and we indulge the hope that Mr. Stock ton's "remains" may be betrayed into illuminating the obscurity that hangs around some of the details of modern New Jersey politics. A strong effort will probably be made to secure the presence of the thirty dead men who voted for Mr. Brooks at one precinct in New York. They were unearthed by Mr. Dodge, and are probably still at large. We should imagine that a cheer ful gloom would pervade such an enter tainment, but there is something un accountable in people's tastes.
