President Johnson's Memoval Essential to | Complete the Work ef the War. Whitney's cotton gin was the Trojan horse to Sonthern slavery. ‘It made the cotton fogion, from the Yadkin to the Its rivor, a vast gold’ | taine, negro slave labor therein ea immensely profifable cash article, andthus, under this labor system started upon Virginia tobacco, cotton became king and the eotion planters the ruling aristocracy of tho United States. Thus, adopt- ing Jefferson’s radical French theories ot gov- ernment, including State rights, the ruling slavery and cotton politicians of the South ap- plied those theories to our party politics, brought them into the government, including the Supreme Court, and administered them as the constitution, down to the staring Dred Scott decision, when their power culminated Then came the Northern reaction, pushing tho cotton lords of South Carolina and their fol- lowers to the bold exp2riment of secession and ® Southern confederacy; thon the war for the Union, resulting in tho subjuzation of that confederacy, the dethronement of King Cotton and the extinction of slavery and all its politi- cal appendages. Thus the destructive heresics of Jeff-rson, Calhoun and their disciples, washed out in the blood of half a million of men, are superseded by the consiitution as interpreted by Washington, Hamilton and Jay, and thus the grand idea of Henry Clay is es- tablished—that the States are not above but under the paramount national sovereignty of the United States, From this bold headland of observation what is the spectacle which now mects tho oye? It is the conflict of the battle field | brought back‘inte the forum. It is an appoal from New Orleans, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Petersburg aad Appomattox Court House: to the vetoes and the pohey of President Johnson. It involves an effort to make ‘the war a failure’ and to re-establish King Cotton; Cathoun's gone back to 1860 aad to Breckinridge. He is fighting again on thatline. He is like the man who attempted a loyal history of France by leaving out the revolution of ’89, the republic, Napoleon and the empirg As not affecting tho divine rights of the Bourbons. With the Su- preme Court to back him he only asks the two years remaining of his term to establish his policy. Indulge him in this experiment and it is not impossible that betore 1869 we may have the war for tho Union pronounced unconsiitu- tione!, ne abolition of slavery declared null and void, our national debt decreed an illegal burden upon the people, and State rights and the constitution revived again according to Buchanan, Tais is the issue with the republican party in Congress. From the incendiary torch ap- plied by old John Brown we have had.such a conflagration as the world elsewhere has never seen; but we may have another if we at- tempt to rebuild on the still smoulder- ing embers of King Cotton and slavery. Tho impeachment and removal of Andrew Johnson or @ surrender of the legislative powers of the government into his hands by his con- tmuance in office is the alternative pre- sented to Congress. According to the recent test vote on Ashley’s initiative resolution, of one hundred and eight to thirty-eight, the dominant party in the House stands as a unit for thisimpeachment. A similar resolution in 1843 from Botts against President Tyter failod because the whigs of that day had not the strength in either house for an impeachment, nor @ case upon which to secure even their own vote. But the charges submitted against John Tyler were petty misdemeanors compared with the schedale of Andrew Jobnson’s assumptions of the exclusive powers of Congress. Mr. Seward has asked 1f we will have Mr. Johnson as President or King. But in either capacity he has ceased to be necessary and has become a stumbling block in the way of any wholesome reconstruction. He might still save himself, and would probably abandon his public posi- tion but for the dream of probable divisions on this impeachment opening a way of escape. All such hopes are delusive, and the republi- can journals which are leading him to such expectations are either deluded themselves or are playing with his credulity as a cat plays with a mouse, The interval to the 4th of Murch is getting short, and yet within this interval the issue of impeachment or no impeachment may be decided by Mr. Johnson. He has only to hold fast to his theory that the national legis- lative power over the States belongs to himself, and not to Congress, in order to make sure his impeachment and removal. On the other hand, by proposing to Congress the com- promise of the pending amendment, or by gracefully resigning his office, he may come off at least with, of the reputation of an honest man. ‘We can tell him that his removal will be hailed as a Godsend to the country, with General Grant to take bis place, on the platform of the amendment—that Andrew Jobnson’s recantation, resignation or removal has become not only necessity té the country, but the only salvation to the party in power. King James the Second, with more advantages and with greater strength behind him than Mr. Jounson, was expelled from throne and country in attempting to make his will the law of the land against the predominant public optnion. And this was nearly two hundred years ago. How, then, at this day and in this country, is Congress to avoid the duty, or the Executive to escape the penalty of bis folly, when the qnestion involved is the restoration of :the Union aa settled by « stupendous war, or State rights, as construed by Buchanan and Greeley, with the secession of Sgpih Caroling ? “ing her troops with American §reech-loeders. Axstria Preparing for War. Among the tems of intelligence received by tolograph and priated by us yesterday, not the least important is that which informs us that Austria, in apprehension of an early outbreak, is increasing her military forces on the fron- tiers of both Russia and Turkey. It is mani- fest from this that Francis Joseph does not intend to be a mere passive spectator if any- thing like an armed intervention takes place in attempting to sottle tho affairs of the Porte. Importart from the East—Raessia aed Turkey Preparing for War~The Warsings ef a Gen- eral Condict. Our advices from Constantinople, forwarded by way of London and through the Atlantic cable, under date of yesterday, convey the very important intelligence that it was regarded as certain in the Turkish capital that the serious complications existing im the East, and classed generally as the Eastern question, would lead to war, and that Tarkey and Rusala had com- tory. But we did not want an incroase of rov- enue; it is too large now. We cannot charac-’ terizs this tariff in soy other way than asa gross outrage upon the country, upon the maas of the people, both North and South, We fear, however, thero is no remedy till the country wakes up to see the iniquity of auch partial ‘and ruinous legislation.

I seems that that gen- tloman hag been extending the hospitalitics of the legation. to some lowbred countryman of ours who has been communicating the Minis- ter’s post-prandial confidences to the State De- partment, One of these, uttered in the un- guardedness of private intercourse, is reported to have described Mr. Seward as “a de- graded old man.” This we take to be the gist of the whole offence. The strictures concerning the President’s policy were not such as, considering the manner in which ft has been generally assailed, were likely to excite much rescntment, A copy of this communication was sent to Mr. Motley by Mr. Seward with a demand for an explanation. The Minister at once replied, expressing his astonishment that the Department should take notice of charzes preferred agains! bim under such circumstances, and closing the correspon- dence by sending in his resignation. From the admissions contained in this letter it is evident that Mr. Motley acted very imprudently in giving such frank expresston to his sentiments; butit should be remembered that he did so under his own roof and in the unguardedness of private intercourse. This between gentle- men would have been sufficient to insure silence, although the listener might have condemned his views, We have no terms of contempt sufficiently strong to apply to the Ponduct of the person who thus betrayed the hospitality he had enjoyed. That the-head of one of our government departments should | endorse him and think himself justified in talding ‘notion upon his statements would seem incredi- ‘ble, if we had not the correspondenco before ‘us. Bwidently the prizo offored by Mr. Jerome | to Princoton College was given in the wrong quarter. Our educational establishments turn out-gentlemen, but it seems that official life spoils them. hostilities for the purpose of treating a pro- | posal tor peace, which ted to the announcement ‘of the’ dlose | of tha war, as we are told ‘to-day that the terms offered by the Sublime ‘Porte to. the insurgent Christians had been. scornfully rejected. From Athens it is said that Greoce proposes to enise the effective force of her army to thirty-one thousand in consequence of the military preparations and threatening attitude of the Porte. These roports and assurances, coupled with our knowledge of the state of affairs existing in Candia, lead to the almost inevitable con- clusion that the day is fast approaching when the final issue will be taken, and by bloody arbitrament, between the Crescent and the Cross, If Russia and Turkey were to decide the question alone the result would be of easy prophecy ; for, just as the moment suited, in- scead of standipg forth as an administrator to the effects of tho “sick man,” the irritated and powerful Muscovite would seiz9 the expiring patient by the throat and strangle him, proclaim- ing the deed as an act accomplished in mercy to himself and in the interests of humanity and civilization. This mode of summary treat- ment will not be permitted, however, and the very sudden manner in which the friends who have watched around his bed for many yoars may be called on to propose and administer another remody is the fact which ren- ders the news of this morning of startling import and alarming interost to them.

Europe, in fact, is armed to the teeth. War is evidently ex- pected, and everything seems to indicate that, begin when it may, it will be European in its dimensions. The City Railroad Jobs at Albany. Tho underground and aerial city railroad projects have agreed to link their fortunes together, and aro to be reported favorably to the Senate to-day. Our correspondent informs us that the commitice who have the interests of these two jobs in charge will take ground against a pneumatic railway, because su flicient opportunity has not bean had to test it, while they have little doubt of its practicability and advantages, They also oppose’ another plan already vigorously pushed at Albany, which contemplates the construction of a three-tier railway through the yards and interiors of houses, The city railroad war will therefore open immediately in tho Legislature, and will no doubt ba sharply conducted. All of these jobs should be defeated. The underground road would be undesirable, if it wore practica- ble, and the aerial scheme is nonsensical. The only proper plan for street railroads in New York is to build elevated lines on arches, over the houses or through the blocks, as-they are constructed and in use in Furopean cities. These lines should bo built and run or leased by the city, and ell the present surface rail- roads should be ‘abolished, the tracks torn up | and the roads micadamizsd. Then, with four or five broad avenuss opened to the Battery, -the-city-would find relief and ner trade and ‘commerce would be nearly doubled, y Pious Lotteries, ~ There appears to be quite a revival iu ‘the lottery business just now, the object in many cases being purely charitable and commenda- ble, notwithatanding that the whole system in this and other States fs illegal. The Supreme Coart of the United States has just decided that the federal government has the right to collect a tax from lottery-keepers wherever they find that business in existence, without any regard to the fact whether the business was legal under the State laws or not. Tho lottery business, if it did not originate in the Churches, certainly received its greatest im- petus and encouragement from them in the numerous “faite” which have become a part of our Church institutions. People very na- turally fell into the belief that what was moral in the Church could not be immoral out of it. ‘Thus the lotteries have assumed more or less of a pious aspect, which accounts, no doubt, for the fact that Mr. Tilton, of the Independent, astrictly religious newspaper, has established a lottery, through which he offers prizes of a Steinway piano and a Chickering piano and various other valuable 4hings, for the largest number of subscribers procured by agents for his paper. Mr. Tilton has the reputation of being the rival of Henry Ward Beecher in religion, of Greeley in politics, and the rival of both in devotion to strong-minded women. His new lottery speculation would go to prove that he can beat them both on the main chance and that he is quite alive to the spirit of the age. vote was taken which resulted im the ejection of the bill, A meoting compozed of Presidents of banking instita- tions at the East and North is now being’ held here for the purpose of holding a conference upon the banking and currency proposition now before Congress. An extensive circulation has been given to an incor rect statement published in the papers hore to the effect that as tho number of five-twenty bonds authorized by jaw hag been completed, no more of these bonds will be’ issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. By the act of Congress of March 3, 1865, the Secretary of. the Treasury is authorized at his discretion to convert the entire pub lic debt tnto these bonds, provided that no bends 80 com verted are considered a portion of the six hundred mil- lion before authorized. The issue of five-twenty bonds up to this date amounts te a little over two bundred an@ eighty-five: million, leaving a balance authorized te be issued of one hundred and fifteen million. ‘There is now authority for saying that the Secretary <8 tho Treasury will favor the proposition now before the Committee on Banking avd Currency, which authorises the issue of loan certificates bearing three per comt im torest to thé national banks im paymént forthe com _ pound Interest notes held by them as a part of their legal reserves, This will give material relief to the banks, as they can demand tne legal tenders for them - on ten days’ notice, ‘The Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bilt...
