James Kelly, Judgos Peabody and Hall, Hon, Rh M ohtord, and Messrs. Derby pod ene tot, of tha Fiat Dopartment Secretary proper that President Johnson should lay down the law of submission to the Union with espe- cial emphasis, He has thought so, too, and what, therefore, he says to South Carolina we may accept as covering the whole area of the rebellion, from the Potomac niver to the Mexi- can frontier. What, then, is the law of restoration which he has submitted os his ultimatum to South Carolina? It is vory simple and very strong. He holds that, as no State can go out of the Union, none have gone out, and that accord- ingly all that is required of him in the late re- bellious States is to put their loyal people in the way to the full restoration of said States in their constitutional rights and privileges as members of the Union, Thus he starts from the law of suffrage existing in cach of said States just before they plunged into the morass of their experimental Southern eonfederacy. All that they have done since in disregard of the constitution and laws of the United States is null and void, and in law goes for nothing. He puts them back at the point where they left off in 1861, and tells them they must recognize the practical consequence of their subsequent course of folly, and shape their conduct to suit the actual state of things existing in 1865. They cannot be indemnified for their losses in- curred in their desperate struggle to over- throw the general government, and they must assist in repairing the losses entailed upon the government in its strnggle to hold them to rightful allegiance. All this is involved in the simple statement that no State can go out of the Union. President Johnson thus logically sustains his position that as slavery arrayed itself in army against the government of the Union, and has been vanquishod, it has ceased to exist. “All institutions,” he says, “must be subordinate to two government, and slavery has given way.” Ito evidently regards its downfall, too, as that of an aristocratic establishment, incompatible and at perpetual war with popular rights, Now he intends to use his power and influence in favor of popular rights, He holds that the Great asses of the people “are not the mush- NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE Bo, 1505. plica” “The friction of the rebellion has { place a little Inter in the season we wouls be rubbed out slavery,” and “loyal men who were | enabled to show France and England whet kind compelled to bow and submit to the rebellion, | of metal our tron-plated navy is made of A now that the rebellion is ended, stand equal | little practical knowledge on this subject mig to loyal men everywhere.” Good doctrine | do them good. that; and next follows a declaration of the | wne wimancial History of Great Britain means and measures by which it is to be estab- from 1612 to 1825. lished throughout the South in this work of | We publish to-day a companion picture to tion that slavery is gone, and “that there was no hope that their representatives could be ad- mitted into the Senate or the House of Repre- eontatives until they had afforded evidence by their conduct of this truth.” “The people of South Carolina must have a convention, and amend their constitution by abolishing slavery, and this must be done in good faith, and the convention or Legislature must adopt the pro- posed amendment to the constitution of the United States, which prohibits and excludes slavery everywhere.” This is = well consid- ered sine qua non to the restoration of the iste rebellious slave States; for without the ratifioes- tion of the sald amendment of the federal con- atitution, the supreme law of the and, South ‘Catelinn, for instance, the day after the restore- tion of hor members to Congress ‘may .re-ostab- lish dlavery, as any of the loyal States may re- +) establish it at the present time. President Johnson intetids that so far as the eristoeratio institution of slavery is concerned : there hall be no cheating and no chance for deception. This will give great satisfaction to the country, and will enable the late slaveholders of the South olearly to understand their true position—that they have no alternative but to socept tho fact that slavery is dead, and dead beyond any possible chance of resurrection, Next, with regard to nogro suffrage, President Johnson gives a solid reason for avoiding it at present, which appears not to have entered into the heads of our “wise men of the East’ among the abolition radicals, He holds that the late Southern slaveholder, who has the land and the capital to employ help, if we grant negro suffrage now in the South, will control the votes of the blacks against the poor whites; and any one who knows anything of | Which the government found it nocee the prejudices between Southern negroes and Southern “poor white trash,” knows that such will be the case. Then we must not forget the influences of the master over the minds of the blacks atill on his plantation. They will give bim their votes to retain their cabins and their work on “the old place” till they can do better, and he will make it their interest to give him thoir suffrages. Thus we perceive that the intimate know- ledge of President Johnson of tho Southern people and Southern slavery, and Southern classes and races, and his long and active political experience among them, has made him a much wiser man on this subject of negro suffrage than his Northern radical instractor’, He specks from what ho knows and what he haa geen, and from what he had auffored ind | has had to fight against as a Southern “poor white” man, and he may be safely trusted as the man whose cause is that of the Union, the constitution and the masses of the people, We are sure, too, that his South Carolina pre- gramme will command the confidence and eup- port of the whole country. Maxmmian as Emperor or Mexico any Gaanp Doxe or Austria.—We learn by the late news from Europe that M. Eloin, the special envoy of Maximilian the First, and last, has been suc- cessful in obtaining a revocation of the agree- ment to surrender his right of succession to the Austrian throne, which he entered into when he assumed the imperial purple in Mexico. The mission of M. Eloin to Europe was two- fold. He wont to obtain reinforcements of troops from France, the number in Mexico not being sufficient to sustain Maximilian; and he also went to Vienna to obtain the restoration of Maximilian’s rights to succession. We have not learned whether he was as successful in the first object of his visit as he is reported to have been in the second. The indications in France at present are that Napoleon is about sending more troops to Mexico, for we perceive that several transports are fitting out at Cher bourg to some destination not revealed; but, then, there are French soldiers returning ‘from Mexico also. The boastful tone assumed by the government representatives in the French that which we gave a few weoks ago in an epitome of the history of the finanocs of the of England notes were twenty-one: per cent bonds were twenty per cent below those, or forty-one per cent below the gold standard. The finan- cial prospects of the kingdom were: gloomy; negotiated at « further sacrifice as the gold premium continued to advance. On the return of Napoleon from Elba, early in 1835, when England, after short lull of peace, was up in arms again, there was a general commercial panic, which resulted in sixty-one failures in one week in March, and consols fell from 61 to 56. In the same time year the government nego- tiated a loan of £36,000,000 at a discount of thirty per cent for Bank of England notes, the total amount of securities which it gave in exchango for the notes amounting to £65,440,000. After the war with France was over there was @ great outcry among the laboring portion of the population against the heavy taxation sary to levy in order to meet its large ourrent expenditures, far exceeding the revenue and the interest on its debt Mobs collected in the streets of the principal cities, and petitions were sent to Parliament for a reduction of the burdens which the peo- ple were forced to bear, In 1819 considerable distrust of the public credit was manifested, and the prospect of national bankruptoy was discussed by the leading newspapers. More mobs and riots disturbed publio tranquillity, and there were further loud calls for a repoal of the taxes. Some of these riots led to blood shed, and there was such a general disturbance of trade that a large number of commercial foiJures took place. In 1861 the Bank of England, with aa oat Standing circulation of £23,000,000, returned to.apegle payments, consols rose to 78/4, and trade began % @gurish again. A period of speculation set in which lasted till 1825, when the mot violent papio known in commercial history s\7¢Pt the land, and the government was equally powerless witi the Bank of England to avert or mitig'ste is effects. Forty-five country banks stopped payment, end eleven hundred mercantile fail- ures occurred in the month of December in that year. ‘This was the recoil from the inflation which had preceded the resumption of specie pay- ments, The abundance of paper money stim- ulated new enterprises and encouraged over- trading, and the hollowness of the foundation was not discovered till the bubble of specula- tion had been blown so far that there was no escape from collapse. We are just now in a somewhat similar position to that of England after being saddled with a debt of more than eight hundred and thirty-six millions of pounds sterling. We are floating on the high tide of that seeming prosperity which a highly inflated currency never fils to produce. We have a dobt of not far from three thousand millions, and a volume of currency aggregating nearly a thousand mil- lions. All this Mr. Jay Cooke would make out to be mational wealth. But i is exactly the reverse. It fs an incubus upon property and prosperity, and taxation iss @rag placed upon Chambers tho other day is not to be takes 98 \netional amd individdal -progvoss. The debt evidence that the; Emperor intends to pureuc his. pelicy in Mexico te the bitter ond. We have the assurance of M. Thiers that France is not in a financial eendition to supply any more men and means for this purpose, and in view of the unpopularity of the measure in France it is not likely that it will be persisted: in. There is @ curious fact connected with the resignation of Maximilian’s claims to the crown of Austria. The agreement between him and Francis Joseph, which was drawn up in Eu- rope, found its way into the press there, and was published also in our columns, but it was suppressed in Mexico. Our correspondent there furnished a copy of it to us as @ piece of important news which the Mexican Em- peror would not permit to be published, not knowing that we had already published it here. Maximilian endeavored to keep the affair from public sight, and it appears that he has now succeeded in getting the agroement revoked, which is probably but a preparatory step to -his retarn to Europo. When this M. Eloin first came to this country there were some extraordinary stories about his proceedings here told and credited in Europe. Among the rest, that he had an interview with the President, and obtained from him an assurance of recognition for Maximilian’s empire, and 80 forth. Now, it happens that M. Eloin never went to Washington at all, and therefore had no personal communication with any official there. We are inclined to regard his recent mission to Vienna as a preliminary indication of his master’s desire only to resume his rights as an Austrian prince, in order that be may more conveniently resign his claims to the empire of Mexico. InrernationaL Nava Review—TIt la an- nounced that # grand review of the combined iron-clad navies of France and England is to take place off Plymouth and Cherbourg in the middle of July, the reviewing officers to be the Emperor Napoleon and the Prince of Wales. It might be a very instructive addition to this proceeding if our iron-clada now in European waters were included in the spectacle. There are already two or three of our vessels over there, the Sacramento and Niagara, for in- siance, and there are two more now on the way, the Frolic and the flagship of the Mediter- ra;,6on squadron, the Colorado, which loft this rooms alout ® stamp which wet weather pup, ; port a few days aco, If the review was to tako was the mevessary result of a task that we were bound {o accomplish; but let no man fall into the efror of mistaking national debt for national wealth, nor flatter himself that we shall escape the troubles inseparable from-debt and taxation of such magnitude as ours, All wilé doubtless go well with us in the end, but meanwhile we must experience the recoil and be prepared for more than we have as yet experienced. The nation has to undergo a coume of liquidation; and it is well for us to be prepared to pass through the ordeal which sooner or later must be submit- ted to us by the logic of events. Evrzors or Peace—Revivat or Tae Isus— The war killed out or squelched for the time being most of the fanciful theories by which the Northern mind had been preylously occu- pied and amused. Socialism, freeloveism, Bloomerism, and a score of like doctrines which had seized upon the minds of idle peo- ple, passed out of discussion, and seemed to all sppearance dead and buried. Even the spirit of religious fanaticism was for the time abashed and humbled in presence of the dreadful mis- fortanes which it had assisted in bringing upon the country. The war is no sooner ended than these elements of social antagonism revive from their chrysalis-like torpor. The parsons are hard at work endeavoring to stir up the embers of religious strife and persecution. The Boston fanatics are trying to raise fresh issues on the negro, not satisfied with having rendered his condition worse than ever. And now, just when wo have vindicated our mon- hood before the world, the Bloomerites have resumed their conventions to establish the right of tho fair sex to woar tho breeches.

Tas Leena Rar.noap Acowent—Tho public were startled on Saturday by the intelligence that a disastrous railroad accident had oceurred in Indiana to two trains eontaining returning s0l- @iers, by which several were killed and mut!- Inted. There was naturally much anxicty and euffering caused all over the country among the friends of those on board, or likely to be on board, the trains. This anxicty will be re- Heved now by the statement which we make public that the story has been greatly exag- gerated. The railroad authorities officially dented that any such accident occurred at all, which was quite ss wrong on the other side, for it-apponts ‘that there was © collision be- ‘tween two‘ traina, and that one soldier, and an engineer end fireman were killed, end five tomed of late to hear of our soldiers, who have ‘braved danger and escaped death on the battle | field, being slaughtered on rallroads and steam- boats that the Indiana story was not doubted. ™ is manifestly the duty of the railroad authori- ties ¢o make known the facta in all such cases, and not to deceive the public, whether the loss of life be confined to their own employes, or to the passengers, The public want the truth, and they should have ft. Reports should nei- ther be exaggerated by mischievous persons nor hushed up by the railroad companies. Tas Sarrsumpma Trape.—Although the effect of the war was injurious to the ship- building interest by transferring most of our carrying trade to foreign bottoms, it was com- pensated for by the activity imparted to it by the orders of the Navy Department, whioh kept it busily employed during the last four years. On the whole we believe that the business was never better than during that period. Now it is experiencing a revolution which will produce, for a time, distress among its operatives. The reduction which the government is making in the navy is throwing on the market a larger number of sea-going steamers than the exist- ing demand calls for. This is shown by the low prices obtained for them at our leading ports, the amounts realized in many instances not equalling the cost of their engines. Of course the effect of these forced sales has been to put an almost entire stop to shipbuilding, and to keep « large number of operatives out of employment, This state of things, how- ovee, ial bs Gat temporary, as the number of new lines of transportation, which the revival |. of our foreign commerce and resuscitation of trade at thé Bouth will call for, will speedily absorb all the vessels that are for sale. The depression of the shipbuilding trade is, there- fore, nok p, sbing to be concerned at. It hes been brought about, a4 wa hate shown, by 2 reaction of its own excessive activity, and will revive with the exhaustion of the supply of vessels which the Navy Department has for sale. We are satisfied that in » few months from ¢his there is neg yard in the city which will not ¥¢ in ful) employment, Sram anp Oxftd—-From our late idws from the Pacific it would appear that there is o probability of war between Spain and Chile, following on the hostilities of the former Power in Peru, The Spanish fleet has gone from Callao to Valparaiso, it is reperted, with the intention of obtaining by force indemnifica- tion for the retusal of the Chilean government to furnish coal in her ports to the vessels of the Spanish squadron. Such a demand on the part of Spain strikes us as being both impu- dent and unwarrantable. Why should Chile ‘be expected to assist Spain in an enterprise avowedly undertaken for the purpose of recov- ering her supremacy in South America and St Domingo at the cost of the existence of the South American republics? The Spanish ware in Peru and St, Domingo had this object; thereforp to afford assistance to the Spanish equedren employed in this service would have been « piece of treachery on the part of Chile to her sister republics, and an evidence of foothardiness in her own interests. Spain availed herself of the opportunity of our war to attec& the woaker Powers of South Ame- tica, Now that we are.at peace she should not be permitted to carry out her designs in that quarter any further. The presence of a United States equadron in Obilean waters might have the effect of restraining her contemplated assault upom the republic of Chile.
