President Johuson’s Administragiom and Chase’s Custom Houses. Itis an old and @ true saying that a heuse divided against itseif cannot stand. We gall upon President Jolmson to apply this axiom to the Custom House and Internal Revenue officials, Under the administration of Presi- dent Lincoln the offigials who now oceupy these departments were carefully selected and ap- pointed by Secretary Chase. The Secretary was intriguing for a Presidential nomination, and he placed his followers advantageously in these positions. We need not recall the story of Chase’s failure to obtain the nomination, and of his appointment to the office of Chief Justice. The point to whieh we wish to direct the President’s attention is, that Chase’s men yet remain in office and are materially assisting him in his violent opposition to the President’s plan of reorganization. The attaches of the administration are thus entisted against the administration. The patronage of the govern- ment is used to thwart the policy of the govern- ment. A house thus divided against iteelf cer- tainly cannot stand. The President must by this time .be con- vinced that Chief Justice Chase is-organizing a reguiar campaign against the administration. His stumping tour through the Southern States and the radical, revolntionary and incendiary speeches which he then delivered, are incon- trovertible evidence of this fact. But, indeed, the Chief Justice has bimself avowed his deter- mination in his letters to his Western friends informing them that the time had now come to organize a party upon the basis of universal and immediate negro suffrage. Add to this the presence of Chase’s agents in the republi- can conventions of Ohio and New Jersey, and we see that the scheme of opposition to Presi- dent Johnson is not only matured, but it is in actual operation. So far it has been a failure, as we trust and expect that it always will be, before the people; but ‘still it has strength in the Custom Houses and in the Internal Revenue Department, and the sooner it is deprived of this power the better. It will not do for the administration to feed its own enomies at the expense of its friends. Neither in politics nor in human nature can we find any justification for such an eccentric course. The present ap- pointees owe their places to Chase, and believe that they cannot be removed until he says the word. They expect to ‘be rewarded for their fidelity to him and to his interests by continu- ance in office. © Consequently common grati- tude for favors received, and the politician’s gratitude for favors to come, conspire to keep them faithful. Fidelity to Chase means simply opposition to President Johnson. And yet the President sustains these mon in office, as if a house divided against itself could possibly stand. We have already said that Chiet Justice Chase e214 thé squads which he has quarterag 1 Our Custom Houses and in the venue Department does not amount to anything before the people. But it is not be- fore the people that this opposition is to be reared; nor is it there that the Chief Justice designs to begin operations. His first move- ments, now that the convention intrigues have fallen through, will be in Congress, and there the radicals will eve their best opportunities for mischief. The mananvres of the Custom House and Internal Reverie officials will have @ great effect upon Congi’ess, The radicals who now hold these positions may pe able to gei up public meetings which shall not result so disas- trously for them and so gloriously for the Pre- sident as that gathering at the Cooper Institute which General Logan addressed. The usual tax upon the employes of the departments in question will supply the Chase faction with the sinews of war to carry on their campaign, in- fluence the republican press, pay for orators and brass bands and keep the country in a contin- ual ferment. Are the members of Congress in- sensible to appeals of this sort? Will they act regardloss of the fact that the surest way to se- cure and retain their customary patronage in the Custom House and Internel Revenue de- HAVANA. {| Judah P.

We have shown in these columns that there are greater abuses in the Street Department, more concentration of rings, more bargains and made to plunder the cily, than in any other, Tlas the Tyrime secured a sup- pression of the charges in consideration of special favors of the department for that grand monopoly of the Tribune concern? The officials in the Street Departinent are boasting that thoy have made their combinations which insure them against any molestation on the part of the Executive of the State. is probable that the above are among the conditions of the bargain. Now this is the class of intrigues, bargains and combinations which has bronght all the evils and corruption upoa us. This is the way that all the swind!es are perpetrated both in this city and around the Legislature, and they are the very abuses which our people desire cor- bune yesterday announced that charges have | combinations | corner that it ever was down. The government has morcifully left their heads upon their shoul- dors, and is disposed to leave their dollars in their pockets; and yet, while the real masses of the Southern people acknowledge that seces- sion is dead, these fellows scream secession as loudly as ever, and declare im their conclaves that the South is oaly waiting another oppor- tunity and will try it again. They are so vio- lent in North Carolina that Governor Hoiden can only say he does “not believe that Union men will be hanged or punished” in that State. “Punished” is a strange word for the North to hear in such a sentence. On the other band, the Northern fanatics are aa little satisfied with the result of the war as are those at the South. They vave piled up for | ua a debt that mortgages every man’s bread and butter; they have taken a brother or a son | out of every family, and yet they swear, like s0 many Molochs, that the dreadful sacrifice must | goon. Now, this party that clamors treason | at the North and the party that clamors treason at the South are as active and as violent as ever, as if there bad been go dreadfal settle- ment by war of the questions they argue. | [tis certain that they will cause grave troubles. They may not make another war, but they will meke throughout the country, North and South, a condition of political anarchy and proscrip- tion to which the open, uodisguised horrors of war would be preferable. Northern fanatics will insist upon driving the South to the wall point that relates to the reorganiza- uthorn society, and Southern fanatics, partments is to go against the administration be law of f Apeil 30, 1066; and tsb believed by Somers ' : 0 . in upon certain vital measures? President John- | thosd”eniisting into the mational guard, amended act was passed. 1.do not concur in that view of the case. Those whe enlisted previous to the passage of the amended act of 1865 did so under the provisions of the act of 1862 and the provisions in section 146, entered into and formeda par® of the contract at the time of their enlistment. They are entitled to the benefits of those provisions, and, in my opinion, no legislative enactments can deprive them of those benefits. JOHN COCHRANE, Attorney General. Ex-Governor Graham, of North Caroling, TO THE BDITOR OF THE HBRALD. In a recent issue Governor Graham, of North Caro- lina, is spoken of as a loading secessionist who has beem injudiciously and prematurely pardoned by President Johnson, and ag a candidate for the approaching State convention who has ect himself in opposition to the wishes of the government in reconstructing and restore ing the State to its position in ‘the Union. These state- ments are all at variance with the truth. In the first place, Governor G. has been denounced by the secession press of the State throughout the war asa Union man, and has never been even suspected OF ee with secession. Im the second place he has not brem pardoned, his application having been sent on on within a few days, and therefore he cannot be a cai date for tho convention if he so desires, which the friends of the Union and of the speedy restoration of the State universally regret. And lastly, when Governor Grabarm shall see proper to give expression to his views on the reat questions now agitating the State, they will be fund to be, y clways heretofore, in consonance the spirit of order, conservatism and the constitutiog and Uniou of the Siates, w.0. K son’s experience as a politician will enable him to answer these questions most decidedly in the negative. Make it to the political interest of the Congresamen to vote down the administra- tion measures, and down they will go. The President is strong with the people; but in Congress he will find plenty of opponents, and if he does not make a clean sweep of all ex- Secretary Chase’s appointments he will dis- cover that these opponents are fighting bim with the very weapons he leaves in their hands. Nothing will then remain but a defeat or a compromise, and in President Johnsou’s case a compromise will be a defeat, We urge him, therefore, to clear out the Custom Houses and the Imernal Revenue Department. He ought not to be content to administer Secretary Chase’s estate. A house divided against itself cannot stand. HONORS TO GRANT. Serenade to Genera! Grant at Portland.
