THE SITUATION. Yosterday was tho first of the two days grand review ‘of tho veteran national armies in Washington, Jand every- ‘thing connected with the magnificent pageant passed of fu tho most brilliant manner. Tho weather was of a charactor the most favorable for the nd tho appearance of the war-wora veterans, as in solid columus they marched through the main thoroughfare of tho capital, was such as to elicit the continued plaudits Of tho thousands of spectators.

The troops reviewod yesterday were those composing the Army of the Potomac and Sheridan's cavalry.

Outside, of retigion the only thing we worship is the constitution of the United States. According to the constitution the question of | negro suffrage is loft to tho several States, and there we are content to. leave it. When the negro eball havo shown his eapacity to vote by his good conduct under the severe test of end- deo emancipation, we chall bo ia tvor of extending to him the privilege of suffrage. But, when it ls extended, it must be extended in @ constitutional manner, Now Yerk alows tbe negto to vote upon certain’ conditions, and the right of the States to impose these oond!- tidns, each for itself, has never boen questioned by any eound statesman. Indeed, the most radical abolitionists have not yet ventured to question it, although they now exhibit every disposition to begin the attack. While, there- foro, we bave no objection to negro suffrage whenever the masses of the race show them- selves worthy of it, we insist that the matter shall be-settled constitutionally. Our position in regard to the question is one with which no honest, intelligent. man can differ, and wo are eatiafied that it is the position of President Johnson end his administration, Tho social status of the negro is, of eourse, quite another affair. These things being 60, we cordially eympa- thize with the popular indignation at the degradation of the ermine worn by Chicf Jus- tice Chase during his eleotioneering tour among the canebrakes of South Carolina, If Mr. Chase feels himself unfitted for the office of Chici! Justice, if he knows himself to be incompetent to discharge its duties and meot its responsi- bilities, he oan tender his resignation, which will be at once accepted. But while he holds tho office he is morally bound not to disgrace it, The office is a sublime ono, and the illustrious predecessors of Mr. Chase appreciated its dignity and impor- tance. We oan imagine Chief Justice Marsball shuddering with indignation in his grave ashe secs the Chief Justiceship trans- formed into a temporary refuge for a restless politician who uses ils high prerogatives to prosecute his plans for securing @ Presidential nomination, caroless whether or not those plans may involve the country ina sanguinary social war. The circular letter sent to the West by Mr. Chase reveals what his purposes are, and his stumping tour among the Southern negroes develops the moans by which be bopes to suc- ceed. He intends, if possible, to be our next President, and he expects to accomplish this by means of the ultra radical and, perhaps, the free negro vote. This vote ho desires to gain through the agitation of the negro suffrage question, as a sort.of appendix to the abolition question. We oppose this lamentable. scheme, not because wo beliove that it has the élightost prospect of snccess, so far as Mr. Chase is con- cerned, but because of the degradation of the Chief Justicoship in boing thus dragged through the mire of politics, and because of tho dread, ful consequences which may follow such sa agilation as the Chict Justice has commenced, The relations between the whites of the South and the recently frood negroes are naturally most delicate. It will require the ablest stalos- manship to reconcile both these classes to their new conditions and to prevent a coilision be- twoen them. The negroes cannot be trans- formed from slaves to frovpmen ina day, with- out great danger of the most determined antag- onism between thom and their former mastors. We soe that danger oropping out iu the plot which has just been discovered among tho negro troops in Memphis to assassinate the paroled rebel soldiers, So intent were the negroes upon this savage and foolish revenge that they attempted to overpower the white troops guarding them; a serious conflict ensued, and the riot was not quelled until about twenty negroes were killed or wounded. The same passion exists among all the freed negroes of the South as among the negroes at Memphis. The barbarity of the native African is by no means extinct in the emancipated slave. To free a negro is not of itself sufficient to educate him to enjoy his freedom acight, and to employ and improve it as he ought. Between this true free- dom and his former state of slavery is a period of transition, which is also a period of danger. The vices of slavery remain; the virtues of free- dom are not yet acquired. The nogro be- holds his late master delivered into his hand. He finds the great government which once assisted in keeping.him a slave now arrayed against slaveholders, because slaveholders have been rebels. The temptation for him to use the lash, the knife and the bullet upon those who were his oppressors is quite obvious, and his inclination is to yield to the temptation. On the other hand, the white race at the South re- sents the negro’s claim to equality as a pre- sumption, and is all the more aggravated be- cause of its own ruined fortunes, the disturb- ance of the old system of labor, nod the evident preference given to the blacks on account of their real, assumed or interested loyalty. Thus both sides are ready for a terrible conflict, and only the nicest statesmanship can avert the catastrophe. At this crisis, and while the government is considering how to solve this difficult and important problem, Chief Justice Chase visite the South, He comes ostensibly to estab- lish or reopen the United States courts, although his presence for such an object is entirely super- fluous and unnecessary. Really, and without extenuation, be comes as o firebrand to pre- cipitate a conflict which it is his solemn duty to prevent. Without delay he sets bimself up as an authority outside of the government, and, therefore, in*opposition to the government; for during such crises be who is not with us is against us. Knowing the immense gravity which attaches to his words on account of the position he occupies, he calls together two or three thonsand blacks, and does not hesitate to eug- gest doubts of the policy of the administra- tion towards them, adding the significant sneer that he—the great negro-worshipper— is “no longer im its councils.” In the very face of the constitution he an- nounces that he “knows no reason” why the privilege of suffrage may not bo at once and universally given to the blacks, thus prede- ciding ® constitutional question which may possibly be brought before the Supreme Court for ita decision. It Is bad enough for the Chief Justice to volunteer these semi-judicial opinions; but it is worse for bim to volunteer them for political purposes, going into the market to bid for negro votes against the per- son who arrested ex-Governor Aiken, because that Southern loyalist had thirty thousand dol- lata’ worth of gilver plate and twoaty thousand ' rals are prononnged failures except Bon But bottles of old wine La bie Tu.

Warsscn's Tuxaree.—Me, Wallack’s comio drama, outitied Central Park, was played last night, for tho Grat time this season, to avery crowded and brilliant audi. eure.

Neithor Napoleon nor Wellington ever saw eo many veterans in one army.at one time. When Napoleon reviewed his army of two hundred thousand men, at the opening of his first Russian campaign, many of his soldiers were young conscripts, fresh from the farm and the counter. The great Russian army, reviewed by the Duke of Wellington after the capitalation of Paris, in 1814, num- bered only one hundred and sixty thousand. But our army—which is, in fact, buts part of our force, since the commands of Thomas, Schofield, Curtis, Ord, Canby, Foster and others are not represented—is composed en- tirely of veterans, and is quite two hundred thousand strong, It is not mere numbers, however, which make the display at Washington 60 grand. Tho im- mensity of the numbers bas its effect, becauss wo have never seen anything like it in this country before. General Grant gives us 6 faint idea of this immensity when he says that it will take the army two days to cross the Long Bridge. McClellan’s reviews were emall compared to this, and the long processions which we get up bere in the metropolis in honor of distinguished visitors lnk into insig- nificance. But thia review is.a review of triumph, The troops which file before the thousands of spectators-at Washington are not going into @ war, and are not preparing for battle. They have come out of the war tri- umpbant, and all their battlesare over, Lead- ing them we sce Peace and Victory band in hand. The gallant conquerors of many a hard fought ficld ave going home to share the blessings they have won for the nation. They are -not only heroes, but they are the heroes of the sublimest conflict in alt history. They have been battling for that great princi- ple of democracy for which so many valiant martyrs in former times have fallen ia vain, and they have secured the perpetuity of that Union upon which the hopes of the oppressed of all climes and countries depend. They are the champions of free governments througbout the world. The applause which greets thom comes not from the Washington crowds alone, nor frem the millions of their fellow citizens in all the States; but we can hear it ringing across the Atlantic, echoed alike from the Alps and the Andes, and swelled by the majestic chorus of republican voices from Mexico to Denmark. From one end of the world to the other the people thank our soldiers for having conquered in the people’s cause. Two hundred thousand American sol- diers are marching on through Wasbing- ton to-day. Every regiment, brigade and division has its proud record, which the spectators eagerly recall. Those five fellows fought at Anticlam, and those at Atlanta.

Mr, Aiken said that, as governmont found it incoare- nicnt to close its testimony at this time to show thate conspiracy did exist, but not with special reference te the prisoners at the bar, he would to-morrow be ready to go on with the defence, as he was not disposed to waste the valuabio time of the Court, Colonel Burnett, the Judgo Advocate, remarked that four or five witnesses were yot to be examined with re- forence to the accused. Some of them were in Balt. more and eome inthis city; but the latter had not bees able to orogs tho line of the/military review to reach this place. The testimony taken yestorday was read. Mr, Ewing made a request, which was granted, to have hisfermer etatement amended, so it might appear thee he bad asked that all the testimony against the ecoused be introduced before the commencement of the examinay tlon of the witnosses for the defeuce—the counsel for the defence, however, baving no objection that testimony aa to a general conspiracy might be hereafter introduced by tho government.
