The right beginning ia half the battle, and Congress, in beginning at last at Appomattox Court House, gets at the right end of the thread of Southern restoration, The new bill from the Joint Committee of Fifteen, like the pen:- ing constitutional amendment, covers the difll- culty. Chaos reigns from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. Over all that unreconstructed region the Dred Scott decision against “nig- gers” and poor Union whites fearfully pre- vails, Under Mr. Johnson’s State establish- ments the civil authorities too often wink and connive at the doings of rufflans and outlaws, and when a military officer undertakes their punishment he is stopped by a revocation of his orders. Henee the new bill providing temporarily to divide the territory of the ten outside rebel States into five military districts, each under a Union general, and all under the sapervision of General Grant and the laws and regulations of » military government. This, in wiping out all thé unauthorized doings of Mr. Johnson, is going back to the point of Lee's surrender and begianing the work de novo, and the suthority and the power are with Congress, and the occaslop justifies is proposed action. a The opposition fire-eaters ef the House of course regard this bill as a terrible Chinese dragon that is to devour us all without pepper or salt. “The death knell of civil liberty,” “military despotism,” “fight for our liberties,” “ramparts of the constitu- tion,” “rock the ‘and like an earth- quake,” “fire, sword and destruction,” and all such trash, iwaddle and fustian are the staple of their argumenta, Give them brimstone and molasses, moonshine and green cheese, dough- nats and bonny clabber, pretzels and lager, fandangoes and fiddlesticks, and you have them, We have described the bill. It isa simple, seasonable, lawful and practical mea- sure of legislation. It only proposes to relieve Mr. Johnson of the cares and troubles of the States concerned for a short time, and to put them under the care of General Grant. We think this a capital idea, Mr. Johnson has blundered much worse in his efforts to set up again the disjointed States of the late confed- eracy than “little Mack” in his unfortunate efforts te put them down. When General Grant took them in hand the kid-glove policy gave way tothe naked bayonet, and Quaker guns were heard of no more. He saw that the only argument with the Southern confederacy was @ regular thrashing, and so he thrashed it ont of the boots of Jeff Davis into absolute submission, There never was a job so difficult so neatly and thoroughly done—never in all the world.* Just.af that point when those rebel States and their ¢hiefa and followers lay absolutely -et the, mercy ef the govern- ment and were: ready , te comply with any terms—jost. thon, --ha@ Mr... Johnson not. been blinded by his unexpected advancement to the White House, he would have called Congress together and laid this whole business of reconstruction before the two houses, That was his path of safety and success, In taking the opposite course and in holding to it he has brought himself at length to'that pass from which he must back ont or be cast overboard, like Jonah, into the depths of. the sea, whale or no whale to pick him up. Having foreborne until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue, Congress, assuming its rightful authority, proposes now to cast aside all this clumsy, slipshod patchwork of recon- struotion attempted by Mr. Johnson, end to give General Grant a trial. Is he not the man for the task? Does he not thoroughly understand the necessities of the rebel States on behalf of law and order, and do not the ruling politi- clans of those States thoroughly understand him? We dare say that under this bill the very name of Grant will produce such a change all over the South among all ¢lasses, rebel fire- eaters, Yankees, native white loyalists, negroes and all, that they will think the millennium is coming and thank God for the end of “Andy Jobnsen’s policy.” Under his mesmeric sham- pooing the Southern politicians believe in the delusions that he has given them only their constitutional rights, and that the two houses of Congress as thoy stand are iflegal, and somehow or other will be compeHed to give way to “the Union as it was” and to the South as it was in the Senate of 1860-’61, including Jeff Davis, Toombs, Benjamin, Mason and Sli- dell, But General Grant, under this bill, will soon dispel all such mesmerisma, We cannot doubt it when the measure is advocated by such sterling and {intelligent Union soldiers as Generals Thomas, Sheridan, Schofield, Baird, Wood, Sickles and others, whose Southern ex- perience and services, even since the war, en- title them to the highest respect. As to the present status of the rebellious States, inside or outside, or half way, it is enough that they are not recognized by Con- gress as reinstated in the general government under the legislation of the Executive. They stand (excepting Tennessee) as they stood with the surrender of the last of their rebel armies, subject to the terms of Congress, Mr. Johnson having no authority to prescribe the terms or make the laws of their restoration, all that he has done, in being at last repudiated by Con- gress, goes for nothing. Such, too, {s their cen- dition of general demoralizatien and confusion, from his blundering policy, that the efficient intervention of Grant is needed to restore the primary elements of law and order. This object he can soon achieve, and then the con- stitutional amendment, made the supreme law by three-fourths of the States constituting the general government, will without difficulty be made the basis of Southern State reorganiza- tion, from@irgina to Texas, We care no more for this party or that party than the man in the moon. The Henatn, regardless of Presidents, parties or party leaders, aims to be the organ of that public opinion which gives shape to the measures of the government and the mani- fest de: of this great republic.

Tur AtapaMa Craims.—On Tuesday night last, according to the cable despatch, Lord Derby answered an inquiry of Earl Russell by saying that Lord Stanley, the Foreign Secretary, had asked Mr. Seward to state plainly tho points of the claims on which an adjastment by arbitra- tion was desired by the government of the United States. Thus England shows » dispo- sition to settle the matter as soon as @ clear bill of claims shall have been presented by Secretary, Seward. If Mr. Seward has not already sent an explicit statement of the claims in question be should send it without farther delay. Let bim make out the little bill at once and enclose it in an immediate reply to Lord Stanley. The sum total of the Alabama claims is but « mere bagatelle in comparison with the vast interests in common between Great Britain and the United States, and the imperative necessities for peace ond mutual good will which unite the two nations, Massacucserts AGaInst THE AMENDMENT—+ It is understood that the committee of the |. Massachusetts Legislatare has declared against the constitutional amendment. This is quite characteristic. That State and South Carolina always go arm-in-arm together against every- thing constitutional and in opposition to order. However, the amendment will be passed with- out Massachasetts, and will become part of the supreme law of the land, She will then have the satisfaction, at least, of knowing that he fs consistent in being on the wrong side whea- ever the Union and prosperity of the country a |s concerned. Barnum for Congress. We seo that Barnum has been nominated for Congress in a district of Connecticut, and Tilton, the Woman’s Rights man, heartily en- dorses the conscientious advocate of babies’ righta—to be publicly exhibited. This is all fair; bat before going further with the matter they ought to consuit the spirits about it. The apirite of tho nigger turning white and Joyce Heth should be conjured up, and the shade of the woolly horse should be called back from the banks of ‘ao dismal Stya, where, go doubt, it is now —poneefully browsing. The spiritual advice of Barnum’s old friends is all-important upon the question of the nomination. Tilton and Barnum would, of course, accept the ver- dict of these spirits as final, because they re- cognize the voices from the other world as essential in all their doings. We sent John Morviesey to Cougress from this city to culti- vate the good manners of the members. Bar- num may do some good there too, He has managed @ menagerie very well for a number of years, and kept grizzly bears and various other wild beasts in order. His experience, therefore, may be of some service in the House in keeping down the angry passions that occa- sionally arise there. If the showman who pre- served the entente cordiale between cats, rats, monkeys, pigeons, owls and other animals more or less predatory or ferocious in their habits can succeed in establishing a “happy family” in Congress, the votes of his constitu- ents will not be quite thrown away. Phe Tribune's Charity fer the Poor. Dnlike the gentleman in Washington who paper in Snding fault with the Zribune,” we shall not spoil more than a page or so of fools- cap in complaining ¥f that journal in counec- tion with the subject of the salaries of govern ment clerks, Phe single merit of the Tribune is consistency. In its advocacy of high pro- tective duties and crushing tariffs the Tribune is consistent in unwearied efforts to make the rich richer an@ tho poor poorer. It is emphati- cally the organ of the rich, and puts its foot on the neck of the poor. On ils own confession it helps other people into fat offices which they could live without, and labors to keep them there; but the moment a clerk complains of in- sufficient salary all its energies are bent to have him removed. All its sympathies are enlisted for the rich man; it struggles to get him a fat office. The peor man with a family to maintain, who has never been able to scrape together the first thousand dollars—the most difficult thing a young man undertakes when he starts in life—is an ebject of scorn to the Tribune. In the benevolent estimation of that journal be is a fool for being poor, and un- worthy of consideration because he lives on a salary. Against this class the Tribune wages constant and cruel war in every tittle of its financial and politieal system of belief and conduct. To the poor man, in covery condition of life, it is a direful scourge ; to the rich man @ prop and a consolation. Protection to the rich manafacturer, the cotton and wool factor, the iron founder, the wealthy proprietor in every branch of trade, means higher prices for the poor. The very workers in factories, the men, women-and children who toil at the loom, the furnace ang the mill, are ne more exempt than otheis if they consume the fabrics prepared by theit hands. Wigher prices for goods mean more pinching, more #gonizing attempts at economy, more scarcity of comfort, more tight- ening of the screwgenerally to the poor man. It is perfectly consistent that such a journal should lift up its voice against government clerks. It is the rich man’s paper. With the poor it has no fellowship. Yet it fancies itself @ good newspaper. “The gublic,” it says, “wonting a good newspaper and instinctively knowing one when it sees one,” most assuredly, wesay, do not buy the Zribune in ce to alkothers, as the last balance sheet of the eoncern,.amply proves. Yes, the public does instinctively know a good newspaper; but the public does not yet fully know the sour, narrow philosophy of the Tribune, how little of the milk of human kindness it possesses, how false and fatal is its pretended philanthropy, and how dangerous and subversive a journal it is and always has been. ‘The High Tarif Party and Resamptionists ts the Same Bout. Both those who advocate a high tariff and those who clamor for the immediate resumption of specie payments are actuated by the same motive and interests; indeed, they are for the maost pari the same class of people, whether in or out of Congress. This may be said, also, of the newspapers. It is a combination of rich manufacturers, bondholders and the national banks, sided by their newspaper organs, against the working classes, the agricultural and general industrial interests of the country, a8 well as against our depressed commerce and shipping. It is, in effect, a combination of the wealthy creditors of the nation against the mass of debtors, and if successtul would result in making the rich richer and the poor poorer. The class of manufacturers specially bene- fited by a high tariff are but a small portion of the community, scarcely as one to « thousand ; yet the millions are made to pay through a high tariff from fifty to a hundred per cent more for almost everything they consume to fill the pockets of this insignificant portion of the pop- ulation, The argument used by the high tariff advocates, that the general public reap the ad- vantage of what they call protection, is all bosh. Fifty per cent or more increased cost on what the people use or consume meets with no sort of compensation in the fostering of certain branches of business, if even these are fostered by ® high tariff. No, the only parties really benefited, as we have said, are a limited clasa of manufacturing capitalists. en the maow facturing operatives gain nothing; for the en- hanced cost of living is greater than the in- crease of wages. All others, and particularly the farmers and farm Isborers, are heavily taxed. The productive industry of the country, apart from the few manwactories, is eompara- tively paralyzed under such » system ; because our commerce fs checked, our shipping busi- ness declines, and we want markets, Every way this high tariff policy is monstrous and destructive. It is, like the resumption and na- tional bank policy, all in favor of tha wealthy few and against the general public. If we were to force specie payments, were that possible, all who owe anything would find their debts increased over thirty per cent, while their means would be diminished. If we consider the number of debtors, in one way or anotber, through commercial. liabilities, mort- gages on property and in other ways, we must see that the mass of the community wonld be- come bankrupt. This would be the case espe- cially in the West. The bulk of the property of that seotion, in its fine cities, flourishing vil- lages, and beautiful farms, would pass into the hands of Eastern capitalisis, Forced resamp- tion and a bigh tariff together would atterly ruin the Western people, It really seems sur- prising that any considerable bo@y of men can, be found jn Congress to favor such partial, sec- tional, and ruinous legislation, The power of capital is grows ovorywhere, we know, but it ie . be of little consequence, for they lave no ob- — eR ND reasonable to expect thac undef our republican | moNTPICENT GIk'T FROM GEORGE PRABODT. and popular forin of government the people \ would be protected from outrageous per He Denates Two Mi tilions One Hundred Thos. lies and class legislation, We shall see whether | and Dollars for th.¢ Education of the Beathe the present Congress has the sense and courage SI TR ee ie ¢ 100. to defeat the infamous schemes of the wealthy | George Penbody has donat, “t $1,000,000 in cash and manufacturers, bondholders and national banks | $1,100,000 im unrepudiated Agen bonds - ~ instruction of South distinction eee ee stag i [Se Bo Winthrop incon wanna on Tord Trustees; ex-Governor , ‘Wh, of New York, and certain—if they should succeed and thus bring 7 Hamilton F. 6h, of New unparalleled trouble upon the country, the Bishop Mclivaine, of Ohio, are the vice chairmen; and George Peabody Russell, of Massach. ‘tts, is thes ecre- party in power will be submerged in the gen- eral wreck. tary.
