Daring his explanation Mr, Rogers got into another snarl, and caused considerable astonishment, succeeded by merriment, by declaring himsolf opposed fo the payment of tho entire federal debt, when he ‘meant fo ay rebel debt. Mr. Stevens wished to have read a despatch apnonncing tho approvat of the course of Congross Wy the republican members of the Pennsyl- vania Logislature; bat Mr. Davis refused farther to give way, and proceeded to spevk at length both against stating that Lloyd was indobted to him in a sum of over three thousand dollars for work performed.

The Recent Events at Washington and Our Relations With England and France. The recent extraordinary events at Wash- ington will doubtless create a European sen- sation in reference to American affairs, In England and France, especially, we may be sure that the aristocratic party and the imperial party will make the most of the rupture be- tween President Johnson anil the ruling radi- eal faction of Congress, to prove the instability and incurable discord and demoralization of we may expect, will be ventilated by our ene- mies abroad in every way calculated to pre- juice our political system and our national credit, We shall, probably, have soon enough from the London Times and its co-laborers their old predictions revived, that the Ameri- can Union has escaped the whirlpool of a great rebellion only to be shivered against the rock of reconstruction; that the sympathizing ele- ments of the Northern democracy, which were powerless to assist the South during the war, wiN now, under nawar of an aduitutination elected by the Union war party, prove suffi- ciently strong to break that party into pieces; to restore the peave democracy to power, and, with the aid of the South, thus reinstated in Congress, powerful and prompt to repu- diate the national war debt as a peace offering to the South, and equally ready to es‘ablish the Southern black race under a system of State regulations, reviving everything of the old system of slavery but the nime. From England and France we may reasonably look for this reading of our horo- scope from the late startling events in Wash- ington; or that the Union war party, broken up, will open the way to such a conflict of par- ties, factions and sections as can only end in a Northern insurrection, and in the division of the Union, not into two, but into half a dozen wrangling confederacies of the South American type. We cannot regard such Enropean misrepre- sentations as improbable, when they have al- ready been suggested by the debates in Con- gress. Nor can we hope that they will pase off without prejudice tu us, considering the mis- chievous consequences of such misrepresenta- tions of our national cause and prospects dur- ing the war. What satisfactory explanation of the present deadlock between the legisla- tive and execative departments at Washington can be made by our friends abroad, when there is no prospect of a compromise? Why may not Lord Clarendon accept this state of things as giving bim an indefinite term of grace touch- ing a settlement of those claims arising against England from the depredations upon our com- merce of Anglo-rebel pirates or privateers? Why may not Louis Napoleon say it is the fight of the Girondists and Jacobins in America, quietly instruct his Minister of Foreign Affairs to notify the government of the United States that the Emperor has changed his mind, and that the French troops, instead of being with- \lrawn from Mexico, would be reinforced for fhe protection of those interests which France eannot relinquish? From our latest European advices it appears that Marshal Forey (the original commander of the French Mexican expedition) had stated in the Imperial Senate “that the return of the from the throne and the drafts from the ad- dress.” Now, the Emperor has no doubt been playing off these two members of his Senate against each other; for be hag sustalfi at home and his promises to remember towards the United States. It is only the re- petition of his doable-dealing policy between Italy and the Pope, in reference to the with weeks hence Napoleon shall define his position to be that of Marshal Forey, under the ides that pending our existing troubles at Washing- ton there will be nothing to apprehend from Burgiars and Fenians are keeping the Canadians alive, and bank robberies have become the rule, instead of the exception, in the ‘province, as described in our cor- Tespondence.

In connection with the attempted robbery of the Gore Bank, Galt, some time sinve, startling circumstance. have been brought to light.

Nor can we under take to promise that the damages which may thus result to our political prestige abroad, and to our commercial and financial interests, will be trifimg, when from the present dis- agreements between Congress and the Execu- tive the prospect is that the status of the Southern States and of parties in the North will be unsettled and productive only of vio- lent party agitations for several years to come. Hence, in view of our foreign relations, as well as our domestic interest’, we appeal to the republican majorities of Congress to meet in council for the purpose of a harmonious under- standing with the Executive, as the question of paramount importance to the country and to the party, at home and abroad. Lioyd Garrison Revisiting the Glimpses of the Moon. Some time ago Mr. William Lloyd Garrison, ® prominent anti-slavery agitator, all at once discovered that slavery was dead, and the great labor of his life consequently completed. Thereupon he ceased publishing his paper, re- fused to be re-elected President of the Anti- Slavery Society, and declared, in scriptural language, that ho was ready to depart in peace. Nobody objected, and he did depart, whether by transfiguration or otherwise, and so disap- peared from the public view. Tilton, the Sancho Panza of abolitionism, announced through the Independent that Garrison had gone straight to heaven, and although many persons pitied the saints and angels who were to -be subjected to the plots, projects and speeches of the professional agitator, still Tilton’s assertion was pretty generally believed. It turns out to be entirely untrue, however. Garrison has re- turned to earth, and walked and talked at Brooklyn on ‘Tuesday night. From the tone and temper of his speech it is evi- dent that he has not been to heaven at all. On the contrary, it is equally plain that he has been sojourning somewhere in the bottomless pit, taking lessons from Satan in the noble art of vituperation. He revisits the glimpses of the moon upon # special diplomatic mission from his Infernal Majesty. He comes breathing threatenings and slaughters, and anxious to stir up anothor civil war at the North, He presents himself as an incarnate refutation of Henry Ward Boecher’s theory that there is no such place as hell; for Garrison has been there and is surcharged with its fire apd brimstone. Mr. Garrison - began his Brooklyn speech by his former career as an antielavery leader. point in it which seemed to af- ford him the most satisfaction was that he hed so identified himself with the Africans as to be ‘mistaken for a negro by the English in 1833 The wonder is that—as he could probably have had his choice of bodies in which to return to us—hbe did not choose ® black one instead of his old, familiar form. He then went on to describe how he threw down his gauntlet to slavery; how he challenged it to mortal combat, and how he finally vanquished and extinguished it Pleanlg, me denig ie mot regarded aso moritin the infernal regions. Mr. Garrison utterly ignores all other anti-slavery men, all our generals and our armies, and all the legisla- tora who voted to adopt that constitutional amendment which really gave slavery its quietus, and which the Heraup proposed and carried through. After this outburst of sul- phureous egotism, Mr. Garrison announced that, having once given up the abolition ghost, he now revisited earth to make more speeches, to incite more agitation, and to find fault with everybody and everything in his former pecu- liar style. Without further preface he pro- ceeded to denounce President Johnson. The President, it appears, has dared to deliver an address in which he calls Mr. Garrison’s friends by their right names, and has also been bold enough to veto » bill which Mr. Garrison and his satanic coadjutors wished to become a law, for certain purposes of their own. These offences of the Presiden: have recalled Mr. Garrison fror. the plutonian domains. By some uuderground railroad, or by a submarine telegraph line across the Styx, the news of these events has reached Satan, and Mr. Gar- rison, who shows himself only in storms like a Mother Carey’s chicken, is sent as an agent of the deil to conspire with Mephistopheles Ste- vens and his assistants against the constitution and the government. The reinforcement is welcome. While we are about it we may as well make a clean sweep of all this rebellious crew, above ground and below. Mr. Garrison commenced his philipic against the President by abusing him for not hanging Jeff Davis. The motive for this attack is not at first obvious, in the face of the fact that the radicals have been in favor of letting Jeff go and that the radical Chief Justice declines to try him. What is the matter? Is Jeff Davis “wanted” in Satandom, or is this merely the text for Garrison's endorsement of the favorite radical plan for encouraging crime by “abol- ishing forever the gallows in this country, in all cases whatsoever?” The resurrected orator then ranted about the President's “sober senses” —an allusion intended to be severe— and called upon Congress to resist him, “come what may.” He accused the President of “dia- regard of the constitution, disunioniam in spirit and design, and a wish to prevent and over- turn free government.” Growing hotter as the 72? dioted by the Houne of Representatives, tried the Senate and dismissed from office.” We are that Satan is so cautious. Why not assassination at once? Bat let us not Inquire too curiously as to the satanic motives. As Mr, Garrison truly said, “When the bottomless pit is in full chorus it is not for saints or good men to join in the tune,” Keeping to the imagery with which his recent him familiar, Mr. Gar- vecesipinnss bet rd as 9 fallen Lucifer, and stated that it would have been better if the Secretary of State bad died beneath the adeassin’s knife instead of living to send “such ‘8 besotted telegram to the Presidential leader Mr. Seward’s remonstrances.

President Juarez and his Cabinet still remained there, unmolested by the imperial forces; but the republican cause was being sorely tried, as the resources of its supporters in that region, in arms, stores and the necessary supplies for carrying on war, bad be- come very much restricted. Tho President and his ofl- cers were, however, still sanguine of ultimate success.

An imperial force has occupied Presidio del Norte, and thus cut off the retreat of Juarez country.” place of torment, was then denoanced as “too sour to ‘give to the pigs.” Finally, Mr. Garri- son’s flendish venom poured ont unchecked. He asserted that all the assassins are with the President; that the President’s object is to imperil the lives of Sumner and Stevens and men of that stamp, and that the President meditates & coup d’éat at the point of the bayonet. The paroxysm had now reached its height; the spirit of evil deserted Mr. Garri- son’s flesh, and he ceased to speak. What he said will only convince the people of this country more conclusively that President Johnson has kicked over the stone beneath which the dangerous radical vipers lay, and that in so doing he has struck so powerful a blow for the right that Satan himself feels called upon to help his exposed and hissing confederates, President Johnson's Political Policy—His Past and Present Record. The developmonts at Washington during the Inst ten days, commencing with the veto of the Freedmen’s Bureau bill, bid fair to revolutionizo the political affairs of this country. The poli- ticians throughout the North are in almost as much ofa flurry as they were at the commence- /ment of our late civil war. To comprehend fally the significance of the events which are transpiring at the national capital, it is neces- sary to recall the past record of Andrew John- son, whose message and speech have created all this bustle and commotion, By comparing his present action with his speeches in the past, the public can clearly divine the object at which he aims and discover the course in which he is guiding the ship of state. In endeavoring restore the Union, cement the victories of w~ ‘and secure to the country'all the benofit’ f peace and prosperity, the President fort at rayed- against him a formidable fvtion in Congress, directing all its efforts-0 increase the sectional hatreds which priuced the re- bellion, This faction was tryi& to perpetuate that feeling in the North to react ina like spirit on the disloyal mox in the South, unt] the strife would be agen renewed and s new revolution inaugurated. more bloody than the first, At the very moment when this tide was strongest, and at the very time when tho poli- ticians were being carried away by its infatu- ation, Andrew Johnson steps forward and arrests it. The violent agitation which his action has produced is of itself conclusive evidence of the dangers that existed and of the necessity for prompt and decisive measures to avert them. It is only in this way for the exigencios of the oocasion. In pursuing the course that he has at this particular juncture of affairs, President John- son is simply carrying out the ideas and prin- ciples which he has advocated and adherod ‘to during ‘his entire political career. This fact is conclusively shown by the interesting ‘state- ments which we publish in another pirt of to- dsy’s issue, commencing with « brief history by one of our Washington ts of the steps taken by the radicals in Congress and of their endeavors in spite of the Executive to fasten their ruinous policy upon the country. ‘This letter, with the extracts from the Congres- sional speeches of Mr. Johnson, delivered at the commencement of the rebellion and prior to that period, together with his letter of in- structions to Governor Sharkey, of ‘and Carl Schurz, which we publi eee where, makes a decidedly inte:esting chapter, which the politicians of all faiths and all schools can read and digest with gteat profit to themselves. The responsi- bility of the present ruptare between the President and Congress is clearly shown to rest on the shoulders of the latter. We doubt if any public man has ever borne so long and so patiently the studied insults of mon claim- ing to represent his own party, as has Presi- dent Johnson. The radicals in Congress pushed their crusade against both him and the constitution to that extent that he could not longer remain silent and maintain his self- respect, or retain his consistency with his past record. The opportunity was offered for bim to vindicate his policy, and be acted upon { in that bold and fearless spirit which has more than anything else characterized his public career. But we are told by the Jacobin orators and radical press that Mr. Johnson has gone back upon his party, insulted the good sense of the people and outraged the loyal sentiment of the North. The ideas expressed, both in the veto message and in his speech of the 22d ult, were precisely the same that he uttered on the floor of the Senate in 1861, when he defied both Southern secessionists and Northern disunionists. On that occasion he placed such men as Wendell Phillips and Jefferson Davis in the same category, nor did he hesitate to name them then as now. The issue was then made distinct, and many of those who then applauded now denounce bim for repeating the same sentiments, thus prov- ing that while Mr. Johnson remains firm to his principles, others have gone off after false gods and adopted heresies fraught with equal dan- ger to the peace and permanency of the nation as were the dogmas of the Southern secession- ists. It is upon this line that he has fought his political battles, It is upon this line that he has rallied the people around him in the past, and now stands out in bold relief above and beyond all others as the leader of the people in the great work of restoring the Union. The waves of fanaticism may beat against him, the disunion storm may rage and its thunderbolts burst about his head, yet he stands now as be has on all former occasions, immovable and invincible. Conscious that he is right, and with unflinching confidence in the people, he braves the storm, determined not to yield to the dema- gogues who would destroy the country that they might profit by its ruin. In pursuing this course President Jobnson hae not in the least abandoned the principles marked out by the Baltimore Convention, which placed him in nomination. At that con- vention an effort was made to exclude Tennes- see from This effort was made by Stevens and the very men who are de- nouncing Mr. Johnson now, and the plea used was that it was no longer « State. But this was frowned down, and the delegates received. In urging, therefore, that the loyal Representatives from the Southern States shall be admitted into Congress, the President is but carrying ont the decrees of the convention thet abandoning bis party, the party, ee fares follows the lead of the Jacobine in Congress, Henry Ward Beecher, with whom Garrison has other differences of opinion besides that in relation to the existence of a has abandoned him. As the extrac's of his speeches also prove that he holds the sams views now as then, there is nothing incon sistent either in his veto message or remarks ble speech at the White House with bis pny course. We look upon the speech which th radicals are trying to arouse the people sgain as one of the best efforts of his life W would not have him recall one word, tut / it stand as @ monument to his fame, in whi all enemies of the country, whether Soths secessionists, Northern disaniontats or opf- heads, can read the opinion which the gat man of the people entertains of them.

But notwithstanding the developments thus far, showing an amount of private peculation with- out a parallel in the history of other local cor- ruptions, it seems that the whole budget has not yet been fully presented, and that the world, however, cannot rub out the ingrained fact that the city and county of New York have, by some means or other, fair or foul, been made to pay a million and o half for their new Court House beyond the original estimate, and will not restore the money unlawfully paid out back to the treasury of the city and county.
