The public sentiment of the Northern States has, we think, been sufficiently developed within the last two months te bring the Presi- dent and Congress to reason, reflection and harmony on the great issue of Southern re- storation. Excepting the singular political elements which hold the majority in this me- tropolis, we have no doubt that the constitu- tional amendment now before the States will sweep the North from Maine to California. It is not what the radicals want, it is not what the copperheads want, but it is exactly what is wanted by that great body of the American people who, with their unstinted contributions of men, money, arms, ships and supplies of all kinds, put down the late gigantic and tenacious Southern rebellion. At the beginning of the last session of Con- gress the relations between the two depart ments were of such a character as to justify the conclusion that harmonious co-operation would prevail between them. The President, in his annual message, turned over this busi- ness of Southern reconstruction to the two houses, where it constitutionally belongs. So far it was well. But very soon the Jacobin leaders and mischief-makers began in Congress their charges of usurpation, treachery and despotism against “the man at the other end of the avenue,” and their hints of impeachment and their warnings of the fate of Charles the First. The President was naturally provoked, and very injadiciously, we think, in a public speech or two paid off his accusers in their own coin.. Then, resolved upon coercion, they commenced and prosecated their experiments of Negro Suffrage, Freedmen’s Bureau, Civil Rights and other bills and resolutions, some of which they failed to carry, some of which he vetoed, and two of which they carried over his veto. Thus the original rapture between Andrew Johnson and Thaddeus Stevens was widened into an apparently “irrepressible con- flict” between the executive and legislative— the law-executing and law-making branches of the government. With the passage by a two-thirds vote in each house of the constitutional amendment embracing the ultimatum of Congress for the restoration of the excluded Southern States this conflict between President and Congress should have ended. The President should have accepted the amendment a8 a measure constitutionally completed so far as Congress was concerned. He so recognized it in sub- mitting it to the States through the Secretary of State, so that in carrying before the people the question between his policy-and the policy of Congress it was simply upon the expediency of this amendment. It is not a Jacobin measure—the objectionable radical section originally pat in was stricken out, and the amendment was passed without it, against the remonstrances of such radical leaders as Stevens and Sumner. Subsequent events have shown that the President made « mistake in not accepting this amendment, s0 passed, as an end of his conflict with Congress. Unfortunately, too, in- stead of closing, be has still further widened the breach in the speeches of his late pilgrim- age to Chicago, in honor of the memory of a man whom neither monuments nor Presiden- tial pilgrimages can raise above the calibre of & scheming and disappointed politician. In this excursion the Presideat’s denanciations ot Congress have furnished plausible excuses for more violent denunciations against himself by radical orators and organs over the length and breadth of the land, to the scandal of our popular syatem of government abroad and to the mortification of the great body of the American people of all parties. Surely we have had enough of this. As be- tween the President and Congress the hatchet ought to be buried, and no better basis of a treaty of peace can be devised ‘than this con- stitutional amendment. Let the President, then, use his influence South in securing the immediate ratification of this amendment, and with the restoration on this platform of the Southern States he will secure a decisive vio- tory over the radicals in securing the balance of power in Congress. His opportunity .end tiie advantages in this direction cannot be. 6x- aggerated, while in pursuing the opposite course he must inevitably fail, The New Era of the American Stage. The splendid triumph of Ristori at the French theatre on Thursday evening and the enthusiastic reception of Bogumil Dawison at the Stadt theatre on the same night are memo- rable eventa in the history of the American stage, and have inaugurated a new theatrical era in this country. Ristori had been heralded ag the Queen of Tragedy, and it is no ordinary praise to say that she completely satisfied the extravagant anticipations of the public. Dawi- son, the greatest German actor living, did not have the advantage of so much preliminary praise; but still his well won fame had pre- ceded him, and in this cosmopolitan city he found many who recognized and appreciated his talent, Ristori chose for her début the character of Medea, which she regards as her best part. Dawison selected Shakspere’s Othello, which he has studied with the utmost care. Onur critics have already described the details of both performances, and we can now congratulate both artists upon their success, and our citizens upon the fact that we have in New York the leading tragedienne and trage- dian of the world. Itis a singular coincidence that Italy and Germany, which have just displayed the most remarkable political activity, should also be the foremost nations in an artistic point of view. England has no great actor nor actress left. The glories of the French stage are but traditional. In England the sensational drama and in France the spectacles of fine scenery and pretty women have taken the place of that high school of acting formerly repre- sented by Mra. Siddons and Rachel, the elder Kean and the grand Talma. In this country we have never had a great native tragedian, if we except Edwin Forrest, who belongs to the Black Hawk school rather than to the classic school of art. The true tragedians of France and England have passed away and have left no successors. The tragedians of America have yet to be developed. But these visits rom Ristori and Dawison, the instruction they will impart, the correct taste which they will cultivate and the enthusiasm which they have inspired, will bring out the latent talent of Americans, and before many years have passed we shall send to Thay an, American Ristori and to Germany an American Dawison. Genius like theirs is generative, and the importance of its effects upon our actors cannot be overestimated. ‘The foprestive in- fluences that have so long benumbed our drama will be rapidly counteracted. Acting will be elevated to an art and a profession, as it is in Europe, and Americans, who have excelled in everything else, will excel also in the drama. The French theatre and the Stadt theatre now take rank as the leading places of amuse- ment in the metropolis, and will be crowded with our most intelligent and fashionable audi- ences every night that Ristori and Dawison appear. The associated managers, who are under the control of the old showman, and who form a menagerie rivalling that of the Park, have been afraid of this consummation and have sought toavertit, From them have come the suggestions that Ristori and Dawison would be failares, that our people could not under- stand Italian and German, and that our audi- ences would fail to appreciate the European style of acting. The best answer to these malicious slurs is to be found in the reception which Ristori and Dawi- son received and in the fact that while Ristori’s audience applauded the very passages especially selected for approbation by the best European critics, Dawison’s audi- ence was roused to the same enthusiasm as the people of Vienna have displayed. The blame for the decline of the American stage does not reat upon the people. They have been intelligent enough to recognize talent and liberal enough to compensate it amply. The parties at fault are our managers, who have traded upon the old show- man’s principle that the public like to be humbugged. It is true that the advocates of this demoralizing theory have sometimes been successful ; but it is because the Americans must be amused, and if they cannot get what is good they will take the best they can obtain. Hitherto our managers have given them only Hobson’s choice; but at last the foremost actress and actor of the age have come to us in Ristori and Dawison, and hav- ing once enjoyed the intellectual dramatic feasts which they prepare, we shall never willingly retarn to the husks and the raw beef of the managerial menagerie, Tae Sovruenn Govenwons.—tin behalf of the Union, the Southern people and the South- ern States still excluded from Congress, we call upon the Governors thereof to fall into line, without further delay, in the ratification of the reconstruction constitutional amend- ment of Congress. It will surely carry the victorious North, and, all things con- sidered, it is reasonable and fair to the de- feated South. It is only a settling up of the balances remaining against a defeated party in a terrible civil war, and the North will insist upon a treaty of peace which cannot be broken by any future Congress or politi- cal party. That is all. Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee, is a bad specimen as parson or Governor; but in getting his State back into Congress he has set a good example for all the other Southern Governors. Surctpat Cocnse or Tax Texas Leorsiatore on THe ConstrrutionaL AMENDMENT.—The com- mittee of the Texas House of Representatives, to which was referred the constitutional amendment passed by Congress and for- warded by the Secretary of State, has refused to entertain the question and asked to be excused from its further consideration. We regard this action as unfortunate and suicidal, Texas and every other Southern State ought not only to take up this amendment, but should pase it without delay. It is unnecessary to go into any hairsplitting discussions about the form, the wording, the conditions or even the constitutionality of the proposition, or upon an early restoration. Apart from a few violent radicals there is no disposition among the Northern people to persecute them. Bat there is a general feeling—and the elections show it—that it is necessary to have ample se- curity for the future, just such security as ‘the constitutional amendment would give. The South might not get back for a long time with- out that, and we know not what serious conse- quences might follow. If the Southerners are not foolish, we might say insane, they will at once and in every State adopt the constitu- tional amendment. Get into Congress, get re- etored by all means, we say, and leave the rest to the future. They will then have some power over their own destiny;.now they have none. Resistance is useless and will only put them in a worse position. If they act at once they may see their representatives in Congress before the next session will expire. Tue Tricks or our Mopsan Jacopins.—The violent and destructive Jacobin faction, com- posed of such men as Thad Stevens, Ben Wade, Chandler of Michigan, Wendell Phillips, Parson Brownlow, Jack Hamilton and others, dre singing peans over the republican suc- cesses at the late elections and at the prospect of carrying the great Central States.yThey are calculating upon making a great deal of capi- tal out of this when Congress meets to push throngh their vindictive measures of proscrip- tion and confiscation. They are bold enough for anything and will have the audacity to claim the elections as an endorsement of their radical policy. This is the trick they are pre- paring to play, just as Thad Stevens atlempted to carry Congress with him in his extreme measures at the commencement of the last ses- sion. Should the elections yet to take place go for the republicans by an overwhelming vote, as they have gone in Vermont and Maine, it is quite likely that Stevens and the other Jacobins will endeavor to inaugurate a reign of proscription and terror. But they will fail in this, as Stevens failed last session. There will be a conserva- tive majority of republicans, as there was then, to keep these destructives in check. The people of the Northern States have no sympathy with these firebrands. The mass of our citizens are conservative, are not vindictive toward the Southerners, do not wish ¢o trample on the prostrate, and only desire guarantees of seca- rity for the future. The Jacobin radicals are a nitseraie minority, and although they may bluster and try thefr old trigks to carry the republican party with them, the moderate and conservative majority will overwhelm them. ‘With the adoption of the constitutional amend- ment the people of the North would feel that they had obtained security for the future, and would be satisfied. That would effectually put a stop to the vengeance and destructive schemes of the Jacobins. We have no fear that these bloody-minded and dangerous men will be permitted to have their way. The tri- umph of the republican party will be no triumph for them, for the popular sentiment of the country revolts at their extreme measures, Tae Romp Canpipats vor Governor.—The last purpose of the rump city government to hold on to the spoils is to attempt to elect their candidate for Governor upon the sup- posed fusion of the conservative republicans and democrats, In this they will find them- selves mistaken. The conservative republi- cans are all backing out, eo that Hoffman will only bave the rump of old Tammany to carry him out of the city, which it may do with thirty or forty thousand majority. But this will be finally buried under an avalanche of fifty thousand majority against him in other parts of the State. Tas Heratp amp tHe Democeracy.—The World accuses us of having deserted the de- mocracy. That’s queer. When did we belong to the democracy? When did the democratic party have us? The party belonged to us, not we to them. That we have patronized the democratic party for four or five years we grant. We found them in trouble and gave them some good advice, which they foolishly did not follow, and have thereby gone astray, if not to perdition. Tae Soora—Waat uw Irs Dury ?—Clearly the duty of the Southern States and Southern politicians just now is to pass the constitutional amendment in the Legislatures of the different States. They will thus obtain a representation in Congress that will enable them to protect their interests, and will, in fact, insure that re construction of the Union which the radicals are working to prevent, We have already shown the advantage which the South would gain in Congress by adopting the amendment which the radicals opposed with all their strength, which the President recommended and which the conservatives carried by their votes. We think, therefore, that the policy of the South in the present state of affairs is to pass the con- stitutional amendment without delay. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK WERALS.
