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.
