THE SITUATION. The administration, we are informed from Washing- ton, has decided to surrender Jef. Davis into the hands ‘of the civil authorities for trial. Joseph Brown, the late rebel governor of Georgia, re- pontly arrested and conveyed to Washington, has been Jeleased on parole, The finding and sentence of the court martial im the case of Congressman Benjamin G, Harris, of Mary land, recently tried on charge of advising rebel soldiers got to take the oath of allegiance, but to return to the South and continue the fight, have been made p:olic. Go was found guilty of the charge, and sentenced to three yoary’ imprisonment and a forfejture of all politi- Oal rights. President Jobr:son has approved the finding, but remitied the sentence. The discharge from service of regiments connected with the different army corps which have arrived in the vicinity of Washington is now actively proceeding. Orders have been received in the Fifth corps for the dis- charge of all the volunteer artillery belonging to that Command, leaving in the organization no batteries but those of the regular army. Several of the Fifth corps infantry regiments have already been discharged aud font to tho places of their enlistment to be mustered out Of service, and others soon will be. + Another of the gallant and famous army corps, the Bixth, General Wright, having nobly completed its allot- Qed task in subduing the rebollion, has arrived in the wicinity of Washington from the South. The corps left Gichmond the 24th ult., taking the sane route on Which several of the other corps had previously pro: Oceded on their homeward march, across the Chickaho- miny and Pamunky, by Hanover Court House and Fred- ericksburg, and past other localities which will ever Aoreafter be memorable from the flerce struggles of which they have been the scenes. The roads in the Chicka- hominy and Pamunkey region were equally as bed as ‘Whoa the Army of the Potomac moved over them in 4902, having been cut up and rendered perfect hoge by ho trains of the preceding corps and the prevailing Wains. The march of the Sixth corps was consequently uch protracted. A number of the troops of thie com. and, like those of the other corps, will soon be dis- @harged from service.

The plan of reconstruction adopted by Presi- dent Johnson, as foreshadowed in the Herarp and announced in the recent Presidential pro- | clamations, is so simple, clear, strong, practical and constitutional as to command the respect and support of every reasonable man. Its | main feature is to throw the political power of the Southern States into the hands of the poor whites of that section, who never had any political control before. The negroes snd the former negro owners are excluded for the pre- sent from the privilege of suffrage. We estimate the voting population of the seceded States at, say, eight hundred thousand. Of these two hundred thousand belong to tho ex-slavehold- ing aristocracy, who used to domineer over the remaining six hundred thousand voters, ruling them for’ many years, and finally nearly ruining them by this rebellion. Now this condition of things is to be completely changed. The six hundred thousand poor whites are to exercise the legitimate | supremacy of a majority. Through State con- ventions, the adoption of new State constitu- tions, the election of State officers and then of members of Congress, they are to bring the seceded States back into the Union quietly, admirable plan settles the reconstruction ques- tion most satisfactorily. But, as the plan which we have briefly sketched excludes for the present the ex-slaves and the ex-slaveholders, it naturally encoun- ters the opposition of the negro worshippers of the North and the negro aristocracy at the | South. Wendell Phillips, the Zribune and the Post do not like it, and we presume that the rebel leaders do not like it, These two classes ef people have agreed so well in the past that it would be astonishing if they differed now. Our readers will remember that Wendell Phillips rejoiced over secession in a public speech when South Carolina rebelled, and that the Tribune acknowledged the right of secession and urged the South to take advantage of it and quit the Union. The Post, with a dozen charges of fraud hanging over one of its proprietors, can sympathize deeply with those who have been opposing the government in another way. At any rate, now that both North and South con- cede that slavery is dead, we find the extremists of both sections uniting in abuse of President Johnson. He need care nothing for that, so Jong as the people are with him. He is not the kind of man to be bullied by vituperative ora- tors or fanatical papers. He has determined upon his policy and he will pursue it to the end. We believe it to be the right policy, and we an- | ticipate its complete success. Wendell Phillips is e cian whose mission is to oppose everything. He frst opposed slavery; | then the Union; then the rebellion, and now he ! opposes President Johnson. Among other things, he occasionally opposes himeelf. Dur- ing the past three years he has been diligently employed in answering his own former speeches in favor of disunion. Consistency is a jewel, which is, unfortunately, not in his possession. He began his Boston harangue on Wednes- day by contending that slavery is abolished. Only a few weeks ago, at the anti- slavery anniversary in this city, he op- posed this very opinion when it was enunciated by Wiliam Lloyd Garrison. He then went on to say that President Johnson’s | plan of reconstruction was “a practical fraud _| upon the North.” He denounced the President as “a robber” and “a Jeff. Davis sycophant.” He wanted to repudiate the entire war debt, | which the Heraxp is endeavoring to pay off. | He gave utterance to the terrible threat, which | chills us as we write, that he—the great Wen- | dell Phillipps, the original disunionist—would | oppose every step towards reconstruction not | in accordance with his own ideas, He de- ‘ clared that it would have been far better for | Grant to surrender to Lee than for the Presi- dent to do anything without consulting Wendell Phillips. We believe him to be sincere in this declaration; but we also believe that President Jobnson will not regard the matter of Grant’s surrender in that peculiar light. The man who was so fond of calling the lamented Lincoln “a tortoise” and “a ‘slave driver” cannot have much influence with Mr. Lincoln’s successor, His utterances are only important because, like a weathercock, he shows which way the radical wind is blowing, and from what quarter we may expect a storm. Any attentive observer of political events can easily see that the effects of President Johnson’s plan will not cease with the recon- struction of the Union. That will be its first and immediate result; but the ultimate results will be quite as important. It is a philosophi- cal as well as a practical plan, and it will re- organize Southern society and revolutionize our national politics. Reconstruction is but the beginning of the scheme. The poor whites of the South, placed by the President in the supreme political control of that section, will form union with the war demo- crats of the North, These two parties will at once rally sround Andy John. son, who represents them both; for he began Hfe as a poor Southerner, and he was elected to the Vice Presidency as a war demo- crat. The President will eensequently have the same close hold upon the masses of the people that Mr. Lincoin find, and he will be- come as invincible. The opposition of Sum- ner, Phillips, the Tribune, the Post and the Inde- pendent are thus clearly explained. They are working against Johnson in the interest of Chief Justice Chase, whose judicial not congenl gis Presidential quickly and gracefully. President Johnson’s | aspirations, While he stirs up the Western politicians by his letters, and presents himself to the Southern negroes as their apostle during his tour among the canebrakes, his friends and organs bere are turning @ very large crank for the Chief Justice. If they can force the Presi- dent to allow the negroes to vote, and if the Chief Justice, who is doing his own stumping, can persuade the negroes te*vote for Chase, the next Presidency will not be a difficult thing to secure, But the worst of it is that Sumner, Phillips, the Tribune, Post and Independent are as unreliable as the irrepressible African whom they represent. Before thelast olection they all opposed Mr. Lincoln until they found he could do without them, and then they rushed back, helter-skelter, into the republican camp to share the spoils. If President Johnson 007+ tinues to be as strong #8 ho is now, those worthies will desert Chase as they deserted Fremont. We commend this aspect of the case to the Chief Justice’s attention. On the whole, it is very probable that the negro suffrage question, which Prosident John- son bas left to the several States, accord- ing to the constitution, will have to be finally taken up and settled by a consti tutional convention of all the States. Even the radicals must admit that it would be impossible to give the emancipated slaves of the South the privilege of voting, like white men, while the free negroes of New York cannot vote unless they possess two hundred and fifty dollars worth of real estate. This would be a most transparent absurdity, since the newly treed slaves are totally ignorant, and our Northern negroes are comparatively educated. As the constitution leaves the guffiage question to the States, the States can alone determine it; and we are sure that all will agree that the best way for the States to deal with it is in a consti- tutional convention. Should that convention be called, we are by no means certain that the whole suffrage question, as it affects the white man and as it affects the black man, ought not to be revised and corrected. This country isto have a large national debt, unless the Herarp subscription pays it off, and the very existence of that debt changes the relations between po- litical parties and the government. Too many people have invested in government bonds for the idea of repudiation, which Wendell Phillips borrowed from Jeff. Davis, to become at all popaiar. Having anational debt, we shall also have taxes, and these taxes should be connect- ed with the suffrage question. Of course we believe in manhood suffrage; but we believe in something more. Every man, white or black, should have a vote, provided it be constitu- tionally accorded him; but men who pay taxes should have more votes than men who pay none. The Internal Revenue law fixes the intrinsic value of a man at ten thousand dol- lars by exempting all incomes under six hun- dred dollars, which is the interest of ten thou- sand dollars for one year at six per cent. It fol- lows that for every six hundred dollars of taxes which a man pays he should have one addl- tional vote. This plan will not restrict the suf- frage; but will extend it. Mlegal voting will be impossible, since no politician can afford to pay six hundred dollars for a single ballot. Property, which supports the government, will then have a voice in the government, and Sher- man’s barroom loafers can no longer out-vote those who pay heavy taxes. In the event of @ constitutional convention, we may press this plan upon the delegates; but at present our ob- ject is to instruct Messre. Chase, Sumner, Phil- lips, and'the editors of the Tribune, Post and Independent, that negro suffrage can be sddner achieved by a call forsuch @ convention than by abusing President J<:ni0n for his popular, practical, conservative and constitutional policy of Yeconstructien. Important from Mexico—The New Stat- utes of the Empire. We publish to-day a translation of the text of the new statutes of the Mexican empire, just published at the imperial capital by orders of the government. They tmbrace the whole theory of law and order on which Maximilian has decided after mature consideration, and must, on the whole, be said to be pretty liberal for an Emperor who desires to have things all his own way. The monarchy is declared to be the form of rule adopted by the nation, moderate and hereditary, with a Catholic prince at its head. In case of the death of the Emperor, or of any other accident preventing him from exercising the functions of his imperial office, the Empress ia declared by these statutes the Regent of the empire. The statutes are divided into eighteen sections or titles, each embracing the laws for the regulation of special departments. The empire is thus formed into eight military divisions, entrusted to generals or officers named by the Emperor. The civil authority is, however, clearly defined, ond no military power over civilians is admitted in any form, except in cases where martial law has to be proclaimed. In the twelfth title the geographical boun- daries of the empire are definitely prescribed, and are made to agree on the north with the lines established according to the treaties of Guadalupe and Messilla, entered into with the United States; to the eastward by the Gulf of Mexico, the Sea of the Antilles, and the English establishment of Belize, within the limits fixed by the treaty of Versailles; to the southward by the republic of Guatemala, within the limits to be fixed by a definite treaty; and to the westward by the Pacific Ocean, including in its demarcation the Sea of Cortez or Gulf of California. The other sections explain the rights of Mexi- can citizens, and define who are entitled to hold property and to defend the national terri- tory. The document will fully repay the trouble of perusal. Mvcravrs or THE Moxny Cnanorrs.—Several Stock jobbers and stock jobbing journals ap- pear very sensitive about paying off the national debt, Some call it a joke, some a humbug, some a fizzle. The Tribune is one day in favor of it and the next day against it. The Times seems to be changing its réle, and announces that the movement is “nonsensical, immoral and impertinent.” Who ever ex- pected the stock jobbers and stock jobbing Journals to be in favor of paying off the debt? A great proportion of tliem are not only op- posed to paying it off, but also to the reduc- tion in the prices of living, a matter that affects all classes of society, and which would inevitably follow the liquidation of the debt. The great bulk of the people are in favor of paying off the debt as quick as possible, thereby relieving themselves of the burdens of taxation and bringing about a condition of things that would more properly accord with NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNK 2, %.565.

EE The Canning-Monroe Doctrine—Duty of | a. towards the Government, We publish in another column important ex- tracts from the correspondence in reference to interference of the French government in the the affairs of the Spanish-American colonise, which took place in 1823, betwoen Mr. Canning, Eng- lish Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Rush, American Minister to the Court of St, James. We commend that correspondence to the sp@: cial attention of our readers, especially % all those who are looking forwer’ anxiously for some soluticn of the present complicated affairs in Mexico. It needs only a hasty pe- rusal of those documents to discover a singular and “remarkable application to the present course of Napoleon in Mexico. It is, there- fore, of great interest to us now in exhibiting, as it does, a precedence on the part of the Eng- lish government touching the questions in- volved in the Mexican muddle, which, if only energetically followed up by our government, will lead to an early and satisfactory solution of this difficult question. It will be seen that the position which Mr. Canning took on that occasion wos in direct opposition to the present course of Napoleon in trying to greate an empire in Mexico. It, therefore, furnishes a basis of agreement between England and the United States touching Napoleon’s Mexican policy, As such it cannot be considered too earnestly or too soon by the administration at Washington. It is plainly evident that the American people do not look with any favor upon the attempt to force an Austrian prince upon the people of Mexico as their ruler. The universal ‘senti- ment is that Maximilian, god the French bayonets which support im, must be withdrawn from that republic. This sen- timent our government will be obliged to recognize through negotiations looking to- wards the withdrawal of all efforts on the part of European Powers to change the form of gov- ernment in Mexico, or serious complications may arise from the impatience and restlessness of our people. We understand that there have been one or two sessions of the Cabinet, at which this Canning-Rush correspondence was considered. Other meetings should be held at once and positive steps taken. There is no reason for further delay. Now that Secretary Seward has resumed the duties of his depart- ment, he should be forthwith instructed to call the attention of Mr. Adams, our Minister at the Court of London, to this Canning-Rush nego- tiation, or else send a special commissioner to England, with directions to lay the whole sub- ject before the British government, and insist that it shall unite with the United States in pro- testing against French interference with the affairs of weaker republics on thts continent. The time has now come when our government can take the stand which Mr. Canning desired Mr. Rush to take in our behalf in 1823. This is the opportune moment, and there should be no delay. If, on the otlier hand, the English states- men comprehend the true interests of their government, they will rejoice at the opportu- nity of being able to secure our co-operation in carrying out a doctrine which originated with themselves over a quarter of a century ago. Aside from this, there is no disguising the fact that England ‘has been unceremonionsly snub- bed by France on several occasions. She was drawn into the Crimean war by France, from which she never obtained any result, except a large inerease of her debt. Whatever glory there was in that war was all appropriated by the French government. Napoleon also didhis best to draw England into complications with this country during the Jate rebellion. Th time has sae arrived for giand Yo pay rs France. As to the United States, there can never hea more appropriate season than the present to vindicate our time-honored Monroe doctrine. The rebellion is finished, the war is over, the President’s domestic policy is moving along smoothly, promising the very best results and an early solution of all the anticipated vexed questions which were expected to rise under it. We are, therefore, in a condition, and, in fact, ready for a reorgan- ization of eur foreign policy upon a more vigorous and decided basis. We con now insist upon many things being corrected which we have heretofore, for various reasons, allowed to pass unnoticed. We again repeat it, the Cabinet should immediately decide upon calling the attention of the English government | to the Canning-Monroe doctrine. Since our army is to be maintained fully one hundred and fifty thousand strong, as a precautionary measure, at least one hundred thousand of our veterans should be sent to Texas, under General Sheri- dan, as an army of observation along the Rio Grande. They should not be sent for the purpose of threatening or menacing, but to watch events, and be ready for any and all emergencies. This precautionary measure, with the appearance of Admiral Goldsborough’s fleet of vessels-of-war in European waters, will convince Napoleon that we are prepared at all points for anything which may transpire. Let all this be followed up by the moral aid of England in favor of the Canning doctrine, brought to bear upon the French government through the arts of diplomacy, and Napoleon will be compelled to withdraw from his Mexi- can scheme or forced to fight it out. It he adopts the latter alternative he will surely meet his Waterloo. It will be impossible for him to escape. The duty of our government is, there- fore, plain. The opportunity is now offered to secure an early and satisfactory solution of our foreign policy. The Canning-Rush correspond- ence furnishes the basis; the President and his advisers should not delay a moment in taking action, for the public are anxiously awaiting and demand a vindication of all American rights and interests. D’Arcy Maone mn Instanp—That noisy fel- low, Thomas D’Arcy Magee, who has been figuring for some years among the small potato politicians of Canada, has somewhat mysteri- ously turned up in Ireland, and has commenced his labors there in behalf of Irish emigration to the north instead of the south side of the St. Lawrence. Canada, he contends, in every way, is a much better country for the Irish than the United States. Very well. We hope that D’Arcy will have a good time “on the old sod,” but we suspect that in that one single fact, that the fiag of England floats over Canada, the frish in Ireland will turn from his silly speeches to join some band of emigrants bound for the United States gpd jhe Hentana » are re Ae nt Comturt 40 Sesdeoess @m_ tbs in Engiana, The Queen's ministers have been asked in the British Parliament what they intend to ‘les that is Jeff, Davis from the may fall upon him as an acces- sory to the murder of Mr, Lincoln. . It is asked if they ax® “prepared to make any tions” that all threaten or apogee persuade us to use that most atrovfous of bumaii criminals as ten- derly as my Unole Toby did the fly. Lord Palmerston replied in Parliament that the British government did not intend to interfere; but the London Post, Palmerston’s organ, explains away that answer by the ar- gument that it was the only one the Minister could make under the circumstances, inasmuch as whatever the ministry or the government may feel the United States is clearly sovereign in its own dominions, It then gives what we may suppose are the real sentiments of the ministry on this question, in the declaration that no set of men similar in position to Davis and the Confederate leaders were ever entitled to unconditional mercy on more just or ample grounds, Such is the sentiment, in relation to this leader of assassins, of men high in position in England. The rebellion has been from first to last, on the part of the rebels a war of assassina- isn, Partionleriz in the Western border States, murders have been not only innumera- ble, but remorselessly cruel. Men, womenand children have been killed solely because they were friends of the Union, or suspected to be 80. Hanging, shooting and ripping open even when alive, have been the wretched fate of hun- dreds of loyalists. Sometimes generals, as at Fort Pillow, have murdered outright a whole garrison taken prisoners; and the British organ puts it as “an incontrovertible fact” that no Southern general has committed in this war “an inhuman act.” Strange English idea of hu- manity! The same observation, it says, is true of the Confederate government—true of that government which coldly starved twenty thon- sand men to death at Andersonville—that or- ganized the plans to burn Northern cities. Now the war has closed in a grand scheme of assas- sination—the President ofthe United States has been murdered—and England urges us to for- give the man who initiated that murder. How does England do in these cases? Is her conduet characterized by that dovelike mild- ness that she urges on us? The Cato street con- spiracy was a case similar in some respects. In the year 1820, during the reign of George IV., and the ministry of Lord Liverpool, a conspira- cy was formed to teke the lives of the cabinet ministers. Iie projector and leader was one Arthur Thistlewood, who had been an officer in the British army, and had been much in France, parti ly during the Reign of Terror, where he imb' revolutionary sentiments and be- came a Jacobin. He had started in life with some fortune and. a good education. Associa- ting himself with persons of the name of Ings, Brunt, Tidd Davison and others, he arranged a plan for breaking in upon a cabinet party at Lord Harrowby’s, in Grosvenor place, and assassinating his guests while at dinner. The plan was betrayed to the police in time, and they proceeded to the rendezvous of the conspirators, in Cato street, on the Hdge- ware road, where they found them in a hayloft, tothe number of twenty-four or thirty, and armed. It was dark’ when the police entered, and only after a fierce struggle nine of the des- peradoes were captured, and then not without the assistance of a detachment of soldiers. This- tlewood, who for the time escaped, was soon afterwards captured. Five of these men were tried, convicted and executed for their crimes, and five more were transported. ae being hung the former were decapitated. °ud their saatence ‘was pronounced a just one, and their plot “oat of the most atrocious on record.” It is to be observea ‘St none of these pris- oners had taken life, and yet the attempt to de- stroy the whole of the cabinet was deeméd to be deserving of the severest punishment. It was designed by the conspirators to overthrow the government by a wholesale measure, and though they signally failed in the design, it was thought its atrocity placed the leaders entirely out of the pale of mercy. This is an instructive evc: which should not be lost upon us, and those English prints which undertake to interfere in behalf of the assassins of Mr. Lincoln, and their chief, Jeff. Davis, had betier turn to their own history and study its bloody lessons. Tae Comma Monicrpat Exaction.—The poli- ticians in the city are beginning tv talk about the munictpal election next fall. The principal point is, however, about the Mayoralty; the oth@ offices will be disposed of according to the usual order in regard to such things. The last Mayoralty eleation was a very curious af- fair. We were then in the midst of war; and it was supposed that Boole, a war democrat, and the candidate of the democracy, would carry all before him. But to the astonishment of everybody, Gunther, ran by a small and in- significant squad, was elected by a considera- ble plurality. It was never known how this result was produced until recently, when the facts were disclosed and exhibited a very singu- lar state of things. It will be remembered the Mayoralty election we refer to occurred a year after the election of Seymour as Governor of the State. It was at the time, also, when the rebels in the South were beginning to operate in the Northern States among their sympa- thizers, also in Canada, getting up raids, pira- cies, bank robberics, &. It was understood by them that Gunther was a rebel sympathizer, and that Boole, the war candidate, had been busy in alding the Union cause, and was of course obnoxious to secesh. It has now leaked out that the secessionists in Baltimore raised forty-five thousand dollars to elect Gunther, Twenty thousand dollars of this sum were given to the Mozart faction and twenty-five thousand to the Tammany faction to secure the defeat of Boole. This was effected by professed friends, of Boole getting possession of the dallot boxes or the polls, and while to distri- bute and put in ballots for Boole substituting those for Gunther. Such men as the Woods, Cornell, Brennan, Tweed, Sweeny, and others, cheated Boole at the moment they were friendship for him. his is shown in the fact that the wards they controlled went against Boole. But there will be no more jugglery or bribery of this kind. These fac- tions cannot again unite in such o nefarious combination. The rebel money spent in effect- ing the election of Gunther was probably the first instalment of the Southern fund raised to corrapt Nogtaers paliticloas apd officialy nad. ti {o n2oure important positions for sympathizing “ the rebels, Jake Thompson's assay willowed next in gettin’ up in- t murder of inoffensive citizens, and eimallat acts of crucity and But now where is a new condition of things, The war is over. There is no more danger of rebel money influenciirg the ballog boxes. There is a large portion of the democracy, ever faithful to the Union, who in- tend to run Boole at the next election, in spite of secesh, The republicans will probably have ne candidate. The floating population may prefer a candidate of their owm, say General Dix or General Jobn Cochrane. So we shall have a very interesting local electiom, covering all these points, next fall. A Drmat, How:.—The London Zlegraph, & crazy rebel sympathizing journal, howls most dismally over President Johmson’s procla- mation offering a reward of a hutidred thou- sand dollars for the capture of Jeff. Davis, and predicts a fearful yeign of anarchy in the , United States from this terrible man Johnson. But if this is to be our portion for the procla- mation against Jeff, what may we not expect from the indignity offered hia rebollious High- ness, and the insult cast upon his English ad- mirers by his capture, his imprisonment, and his approaching trial and condemnation as a traitor? We fear that John Bull will have to © recognize his Southern pro-slayery champion and idol.as little better than a knave and an impostor, and “whistle him down the wind.” Inrormation Wanrep.—Betore the Hon.

His general manner is perhaps based on that of Mr. Compton, but the individual coloring of the character te entirely his own, and his picture of a man forever absurdly vaporing and constantly laboring to give am expression of ferocity to.an inexpreasive countenance ie sometimes irresistibly comic, and would be stil! more se if his articulations were more distinct. ”” “Lovs, War ann Fruexpsmre” js the title or « pretty, simple song, written and composed by Mrs. E. L. E. Vou Meyer, and just published by Pond & Co.
