The Conflict Betwoon Congress and the Presl- dont—How Is It to be Settled * The Cabinet council of Wednesday last, a3 it appears, was mainly occupied in the discus- sion of the scheme now pending in Congress for the reduction of the excluded States to a Terri- torial condition. We are further informed that upon this question the Cabinet was unanimous— Stanton included—in this, that the administra- tion, having assisted in the creation of the exist- ing governments in the excluded States, and having sinve steadily recognized them, could not now with any consistency accept a propo- sition that ignored them; moreover, it being the established policy of the President that a State cannot.commit treason or participate in a rebellion, and cannot dissolve its connection with the Union, and that the general government has no power to put a State out of the Union, the excluded States are now as much members of the Union, and as independent and sovereign as Massachusetts or New York, and can no more be reduced to Territories than New York or Massachusetts. Such is the present position, then, of the Executive against Congress. Howis it to be answered, and how is this conflict to be settled ¢ We might appropriate several pages of the Heratp to the constitutional chop logic of learned expounders in our answer, and ail to no purpose; but in bringing forward President Johnson to answer himself we think we can settle the question at once. When the rebellion collapsed Congregg was not in session. Wisely or unwisely, instead of calling an extra session, President Johnson, under the discretionary war powers granted by Congress, undertook him- self the task, not of Southern restoration, but of Southern reconstruction. Acting upon the theory that as the rebel States, with the surren- der of their rebel armies, were under State governments derived from and identified with the rebellion, they had no local governments at all, he proceeded to reorganize them sub. stantially as unorganized Territories. We will take Mississippi as an example. Holding the State under the military jurisdiction of a con- queror meanwhile, he appointed William L. Sharkey Provisional Governor, and under cer- tain instructions, defining who should and who should not be entitled to vote, authorized him to provide for the eleetion of a Governor and State Legislature, the intent being to assist the people designated by the President as loyalists in reorganizing their State om a loyal basis, recognizing certain great issues decided by the war, including the abolition of slavery and the repudiation of all the debts and obligations incurred by the State as a copartner in the re- bellion.

It has oozed out, too, that Mr. Disraeli bas had very considerable difficulty in convincing the very cautious men of whom the Cabinet is mainly composed, and whose habit it is reverently to look back rather than hopefully to look forward, of the rectitude of bis views. That Mr. Disraeli, however, has been successful, or that ho will be successful in bringing the majority round to his way of think- ing, we have not the slightest doubt. Dissen- sions may take place in the Cabinet, diasen- aions of auch a nature as to necossitate minis- terial changes; but the worst that can happen will be the displacement of certain old fogies whose absence will be a blessing rather than otherwise. Whatever, therefore, be the value of those rumors which from time to time have reached us by cable and otherwise, we have no fear that the party now in power will shrink from the difficuities of their position, nor are we altogether without hope that they shall con- duct this reform movement to a final and satis- factory issue. apéa this ground, but thet bo must fall if he persists in bis efforts to hold. A greater conflict is involved in it than he dreams of. His constitutional duty is to see that the laws of Congress are faithfully executed; but what laws have justified bis Southern reconstruction proceedings? They are clearly without any authority in law, and in assuming that his acta in the premises, without the approval of Con- gress, are laws overriding Congress, he exposes himself to a clear cause of impeachment on the charge of usurping the constitutional powers of Congress. Had he acted consist- ently after the test to which he submitted his Southern policy in the late Northern elections he would have yielded to the verdict of tho people—of a half million of majorities against him. Twenty-three States, including Tennes- see, embracing two-thirds of the population of the whole United States, have declared for the policy of Congress. Against this powerful array what can Mr. Johnson do with Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and the ten excluded rebel States t Nothing but block tho way against Congress. But on what is his reliance in thus blocking the way? The Milligan decision of the Supreme Court and the balance of power held in that Court by one of the Judges of the Dred Scott decision. This is certainly a strange condition of things, that one man of the old South Carolina Southern rights school, with his ipse dizit in the Sapreme Court, is in the Lowell factories could pass themselves off a8 “colored persona,” they would infallibly aucceed in their attempt to get their eleven hours of daily labor reduced to ten.

He wished it to be known that he voted for the impeachmont resolution, and took the oppor- lican force, followed in twenty-four hours by a denial. A telegram publishéd yesterday an- nounces that General Castelnau and Maximilian have come to a secret understanding, adding that this 13 reliable and that the character of ‘the understanding “is known bere,” meaning New Orleans. Then, instead pf telling ius what the character renlly is, the despatch ‘says “it doca not unfavorably affect the formal restora: tion of Juarez to the Presidenoy vy the middle ofnext month.” This is pure nonsense. “What- ever chances Juarez may have of restoration, it cannot be effected until the French shall have withdrawn, an event which will not ocour before tho end of March at the earlieat, But the idea that General Castelpan and Maximilian favor Juarez is a gross mistake. Juarez has declared in the most emphatic manner that he will havo no dealings with the Frenoh, and will not re- cognize the French debt, in he should re- turn to power. On their side the French have made an equally emphatic deolaration—that they will prevent by all the means in their power the return of Juarez to the Presidency. Therefore {t is far more likely that the French, seeing that the empire and Maximilian must fall, should turn their attention to the opponent of Juarez; and it will very probably turn out, if there be s secret understanding between Genera! Castelnau and Maximilian, that Ortega ig the man fixed upon by them to succeed Maximilian in the government of the country on a republican basis. If Ortega stould pro- mise to recognize the French debt, that is, tho original debt on account of which the interven- tion was andertaken, he would at once enlist the Frenoh on his side. The whole question has now resolved itself into the original one, which is enlarged into the magnificent idea of a course of policy from which the empire of Maxi- milian sprang. The original question was one of money. The political idea bas now been abandoned, and all that France now asks is money. Juarez will not give her a cent, and THE WHISKEY FRAUDS.
