FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1866. THE ALiBS OF YESTERDAY. The publication of a despatch, in the ledger of yesterday, setting fortlji a revolutionary programme, said to have been adopted by President Johnson, created a serious and wide-spread alarm. Although the nature of the despatch must have been known at Washington early in the morning, it was late ifl. the afternoon before a contradiction of it was forwarded. This fact creates a suspicion that the project announced in the de spatch was put forth by the President, ©r some of-his friends, in order to try how it would be received by the people; for it was only after “many inquiries by telegraph” had been receive® by the Administration, that the agent of the Associated Press received authority to, contradict the report. News of the excitement and indignation created throughout the country had reached the President, and it was found necessary to allay it by a repudiation of the alarming rumor. The paper that gave the report cur rency, and its correspondent at Wash ington, are usually so cautious and so well-informed, that .it received ;more credit than it would have done,if it had appeared in what is called a “sensa tional” journal, or in one of radical ten ■ dencies. Every point in it was simply a-repetition of remarks made by the President in some of his speeches, or by his organs in their editorial articles during the past few months. The pro gramme bore marks of careful consider- ation, and had not the appearance of a correspondent’s hasty invention. We are, therefore, unwilling to aeeept the absolute denial of it. It may have been abandoned in consequence of the result of the elections; for it is apparent that it was prepared on election day, when the President was receiving despatches promising him victories in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. But that the project was determined on, and its execution seriously considered, for a time,will, we believe, be amply proved. The proprietor of the Ledger, and its correspondent have a duty to perform to themselves and to the country, which, we believe, they will perform. They should give a full history of the whole affair, with all the proofs necessary to establish the truth of the project, if it was true, or its falsity ,if it was false. If Congress were in session, an inquiry would, of course, be made instantly. In the meantime, private inquiry may elicit testimony that will be ready for the opening of the session, and if it shall be found, as we believe it will be, that the President contemplated this revolu tionary scheme,, then there will be fresh ground for the .impeachment which he seems to be courting and challenging. TBE SUNDAY, CAR QUESTION, "Were it not for the absorbing interest felt in the result of the late elections and the consequences growing out of them, the decision of Mr. Justice Strong, in the matter of the injunction asked for to restrain the Union Passenger Bailway Company from running cars npon their road upon Sunday, would excite universal attention. As it is, it by no means passes unheeded, and men discuss'it according to their prejudices quite as much, perhaps, as according to their judgment. Upon the one side it is claimed that aDy innovation of the strict rest of the Sabbath is an outrage upon the rights of any individual who Jtnay feel aggrieved by it, and that ac. cording to the act of 1794, an absolute cessation of all worldly employment, except such as is strictly required by the demands of necessity or mercy, is ex hCv6Q» Upon the other hand, it is urged that the growth of the city, the increasing wants of a huge population, the change of traveling facilities, wide separation of citizens from their churches and their friends Jby the necessities of the times, and the social wants of the period, de-; mand some relaxation from the strict letter of a law which was made at a time when rope-ferries, private wagons; and even pack-horses furnished the only means of locomotion from place to place. Justice Strong administered the laws as he found them and as he honestly in terpreted them, his high character as a: conscientious jurist and as a clear- ; headed man forbidding any other view of his decision. Whether or not the laws are wise ones.and adapted to the exigencies of the times, seems to have become a problem for the people themselves to determine. The simplest solution of this diffi culty is to submit the question to a vote of the masses. One gentleman, holding a highly responsible position in the councils of the State, has just been allowed to retire into private life, prift-; cipally, we believe, because of his refu-; sal, by his official vote,to allow the peo ple to decide directly upon what they have the best right to be the judges of. Allow the people of the city to vote upon this vexed question, and let the result be as it may, the minority will yield to the majority and accept it; but; in the altered circumstances of things, the. enactments of 1682,1700, 1706,1760, 1786 and 1794, and the votes of country members of our Legislature in matters affecting Philadelphia alone, cannot be and will not be accepted as either satis factory or conclusive. The defendants in the suit of Spar hawk and others, against the Union Passenger Railway Company, have inti mated their determination, in case the Supreme Court in banc sustains the de cision of Mr. Justice Strong, to apply the law of 1794 to the case of every railway train running in or out of the city, and every private vehicle, physician’s carriages excepted. They claim that they have equal r ights with others, and they will not consent that others shall enjoy an immunity from the! influence of a law that, they deem oppressive to themselves. Their position,in this respect, seems to be logi cally uniinpregnable, and the dilemma forces us t&the conclusion that the only -fair democratic solution of this vexed question is its reference to the people at the ballot-box. The doctors of law dis agree as to the construction of the legal enactments upon this perplexing ques tion. Upon the Vox populi, vox Dei principle the public demand that they 6 hall settle the disputed point directly and summarily. The legislators that will enable them to do so, will act wisely and well. EASILY PLEASED. The leading local Copperhead journal, in its mournful disquisitions upon the re sults of the election, reminds one of the story of the hardened sinner at the time of According to the story, he swam up to the floating habitation of the patriarch, and upon being refused admission he shouted out:‘ s> “You can go to thunder with your old ark; I don’t believe it is going to be much of a shower after all! ” Our chagrined co temporary recognizes the fact of a tole rable sprinkle of rain; it even admits to have heard some pretty substantial thun der and to have seen some of the light ning marks, but it obstinately refuses to acknowledge the deluge that is sweep ing Johnsonified Copperheadism tp, per dition. Below we give a specimen of how this drenched-to-the-skin-Copper head belittles the shower: “The Democracy and the Conservative voters of Philadelphia have great reason to rejoice at their vote on Tuesday. The bone and sinew of the masses of Philadelphia are against the Radical party. Withjudges, sheriff, police, league money aad contract ors’ contributions, all the machinery of the city government against them, die true men of Phildaelphia, who earn their living by their labor, have presented a front of nearly fifty thousand votes!” There is an amusing feature about this extract, apart from the desperate effort to draw consolation out of defeat, upon the ground that it might have been worse. Only a day or two before the election this same journal published a double leaded column of reasons to show that a Copperhead victory in Pennsylvania was a foregone conclusion. Among other things it said: V “The patronage of the National Govern ment is in our favor. Heretofore that has been used in a most liberal and dishonest manner against ns. Such men as Colonel Forney and others held the rod over the of fice-holders, and compelled blind obedience to their dictation. Now men are allowed to vote as their judgments dictate, and support a policy which is intended to re-unite the Slates, and bring peace and contentment to the people. This change alone will bring thousands of voters to the Democratic ana Conservative parties, and make the result a certainty.” Could net our cotemporary do the fair thing by allowing “thepatronage of the National Government,” which they boastof controlling, to offset the “judg wlih brat-class BOARD—also four SINGLE GENT'S. 911 ARCH street. oct2 3t» F)B BOYS’STILTS w» have a neat style of Iron Foot Best, capable of being made high or low. as wanted.
