The action of the Senate yesterday, in refusing to take up the House bill which revokes the President’s power to grant a general amnesty, will provoke much animadversion on the part of Union men who desire to see prompt action in Con gress upon such legislation as is neces sary to put a stop to the President’s fla grant abuse of the power now in his hands. It is not pleasant to see nearly a dozen EepublicanSenators castingalmosf their first vote, on the re-assembling ol Congress, with the opposition, to defeat a proposition which was so patent to' the lower House as to be decided at once and hy an overwhelming vote. An impres sion was rapidly gaining ground, when Congress adjourned, that the Senate was controlled by a timid and vacillating policy, unequal to the responsibilities and the emergencies of the times. This feeling -is likely to be revived and strengthened by such action as that of yesterday. But it must be borne in mind, on the other hand, that the Senate has always been accustomed to move with slower .steps than those of the popular branch of Congress, and there are some of the Re publican Senators so wedded to the idea .of the necessity of debate, that it is quite impossible for them to act upon the most obvious propositions un til numerous arguments and speeches have been made upon the subject. The Democratic minority is always ready to move in flying column. Its compact tody is held in light marching order, and with its admirable drill and the superiority of its tactics, it is always pre pared to avail Itself of the temporary aid of thp heavily-loaded and slow-moving wing of the Republican Senate,.. There can be no doubt that in due time and % after solemn delate the Senate will eon j&clnde that the country requires the s hteb I, idgement of the powers of theßseen ev*| aD< *. loyal friends of CoDgress such patience and faith BpM atjpay be blessed with, until their shall see their way clear to proceed with business. T . 'v.-.- yesterday lasted just for* ses ? loa °* but there can be no dou BQiau^9 > members become mo .64 that when the the novelty of their accustomed to acquainted with th P oB ™* oll afi 4 better mentoof the peo’ * temper and require tbeir daily seßsi : they • will extend go oh to atten- an hour or two., and country. 4 to the buainesa of the ’M'pggnr AafTHEAy FAIXtVBE* the grer ,ca b y personal results, some of failur* characters in history were wor) Csesar, after conquering the leo -4> ‘fiied a dog’s death at last; Napo ti 4,’from being almost master of Con /Oental Europe, ended his own days a prisoner; and Cromwell left a barren I -sceptre, “no son of his succeeding.’’ , (Failures are by no means uncommon > events in history; but failures in high : places, where they are the result of the : wilful blindness or blundering self-oon ceit of the victims, are rare. Charles I. and James 11. were failures. The first tried an experiment with the temper of the masses, and he learned, to his heavy ■ cost, that he did not have the people of the time of the Plantagenets or the Tu dors to deal with, and that the impe rious rule of the Henrys or of Elizabeth would not suit the seventeenth century. James 11. was a failure, not so much because of the lack of natural parts, but because-he failed to keep pace with the spirit and the temper of his times, and because he foolishly attempted to restore what the people of England had long before most emphatically discarded. In our own time and country John Tyler was a failure, and before the days of An drew Johnson, he was the most pitiable failure in American history. Like Charles I. and James 11., John Tyler attempted not only to run counter to the spirit of the age, but to foil and defeat the will of the party to which alone he could look for support and encourage ment. Charles’s disregard for the voice of the Commons, James’s evasion of the laws of the realm, and John Tyler’s jealous opposition to Henry Clay, and his affiliation with his old political opponents, in the insane hope to create a new party in his own interest, were the snags upon which these distin tinguished failures went to wreck. But Andrew Johnson stands foremost in the order of great failures and the most pitiable of instances of going to pieces when the skies were bright and the Bailing was perfectly plain. Taking the prominent English failures a 3 par allels, he has not the excuse of Charley I, who, from the circumstances of birth and training, and the plea of the kingly prerogative, could not be expeeted to have much regard for the rights of the masses. H. DUTTON, No. 914 Chestnut street. W. H. DUTTON W. H. DUTTON. W. H. DUTTON. The Philadelphia Academy of Music is the noblest theatre in America. In some respects it is superior to any in Europe. It is meant to promote musical taste find encourage artists. But it fails to do this, and opera managers and opera artists dread a visit to Philadel phia. It rarely pays a manager, and ar tists are so chilled by the reception ac corded to them, that they can neither do justice to themselves or the music as signed to them. It has already been stated in these columns that one difficulty atthe Aca demy of Music arose from the reserva tion of the five hundred best seats for privileged persons who pay no entrance money. A few of these were original subscribers, who paid the par value for five shares each. The greater part, how ever, bought their five shares much below par, say from forty to sixty dol lars per share. A considerable number also acquire the privilege of these seats by paying a trifling sum to th<? actual owners ofshares and receiving a transfer' of free tickets for a seaLm or a year. Thus the best part of the .house is appropriated to persons who pay but little towards the annual ex penses, and who, in general, do nothing towardsoflering inducements to mana gers and artists to engage the Academy. In a day or two the excellent French opera company, that performed in a nearly empty house a short time ago, is coming on another experimental trip. the d ■rr James II had the plea of earnest re ligious convictions to excuse his failure to meet the expectations of his country men, and both himself and his hapless father drifted to their thrones by birth right, and although their subjects saw fit to oust them from their places, they did not have the mortification of know ing that they had first deliberately chosen them to fill the offices from which they afterwards ignominiously ejected them. John Tyler stands first in the list of American Presidential failures. James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce who came after him were more than his peers in respect to weakness and meanness; but they were both faithful to the in stinets of the party that elected them,and although they were superserviceable in their partisanship,they could scarcely be called treacherous, and to that extent they rank higher than the recreant Tyler. With most amazing blindness, or with a strange infatuation, Andrew Johnson has failed to profit by the examples that history sets before him, and he stands confessed before the world as the most distinguished of failures. He is power less against the Congress with which he has quarreled, and which he has grossly insulted; the people repudiate him anc i his principles, and he has no party ex cept foiled traitors at the South, and sympathizers with them at the North, who only espouse his cause because they believe that his treachery to the party which elected him will profit the ene mies of that party. How melancholy a record! f THE FIVE HENDEED. j(LY EVENING- fl fJLLETIN.— FHfLAI) E The managers have been liberal towards them, and the general public is disposed to be equally so. But the privileged stockholders, who monopolize the best seats, with few exceptions, show no in clination to spend a single dollar. It is estimated that not one-fifth of the stock holders buy any extra seats, or use any exertions to. induce others to assist in operatic enterprises. If this indifference continues there can be no more operas in the Philadelphia Academy. The five hundred gentlemen and ladies who have bought their privileges at a low price are ruining the fortunesof the Academy as an opera house. Cannot something be done to stir up a little liberality in them, or to relieve the establishment of the incubus of the Fatal Five Hundred? THE FIBE DEPABTXEJir. The convention of firemen called for the purpose of preventing, if possible, the passage of the ordinance providing for the better regulation of the Fire De partment, met again last evening. - The delegates talked complacently of getting the bill into the hands of the Committee on Fire and Trusts, where it would be Buffered to die a natural death. They expressed a disposition to hold the fear of the combined opposition of the fire men over independent members of city councils, and they protested their un willingness to be controlled by the regu larly constituted authorities. It seems extraordinary that a body of men should claim to hold a special mission to ex tinguish fires in their own way .whether the public like it or not, and to be su perior to the law while thus engaged. Common sense would say that there is no such prescriptive right to put out fires, any more than there is a right to force the volunteer performance of any other police business upon the commu nity. San Francisco has just setupapaid fire department; Cincinnati, Baltimore and New York have abolished their old irresponsible departments,and they have profited by the change. Philadelphia, though proverbially slow in following these examples, is nevertheless sure,and the action of the firemen themselves, in opposing wholesome restrictions upon their department, will tend to aid in ''ringing about the result to which they are so much opposed. On Monday evening next the great Italian actress, Mme. Adelaide Ristori. supported by a full dramatic troupe, will appear for the first time before a Phila delphia audience, at the Academy of Music. The opening drama is Medea , written in French originally, by Le govfi, for Rachel, who, in one of her caprices, refused to play in it. It was then translated into Italian, was played with Bplendid success by Ristori, and has, ever since, been one of the most attractive pieces of her repertoire. The old Greek legend has been admirably dramatized, and in the role of “Medea,” Mme. Ristori exhibits her extraordinary gifts to the greatest advantage. The sale of tickets for the Ristori nights has been so large already as to give assurance of full and fashionable audiences. Jo bn B.
