The black wave that has so long threatened us is losing its force. It must soon break into foam if the President only dares to meet the issue like a statesman. We care little for color—we leaye that for a banner cry. We go deeper than the skin, and demand that the foundations of our government rest upon educated brain, The nation fairly staggers to-day under its load of ignorance; and well may we lament the new burden imposed upon i tho faction which raises its flag aloft and cries party first! country afterwards! In the West they already open the contest for a con- solidation of political power and a seizing of all the elements of strength in the government, Mr. Wade, in a speech that loses all force by ts pandering to ignorance and blasphemy, opens his batteries upon the dread reaction which he sees advancing with a steady but irresistible march. Senator Sherman, more logical, but yet with faulty points in his argu- ment, follows, to garnish, if possible, the speech of Mr. Wade. Both of these Senators stand on the Ohio field, where, facing them, stand Pendleton and Vallandigham. Mr. Pendleton, now disposed to accept the fact that some questions have been decided in the war, is shaping himself to the stern logic of the posi- tion; and though he has done much to sink him deep, in loyal eyes, during the struggle for national existence, he may yet do much to harmonize the contending elements, For Vallandigham we have little hope; he has the black blindness, and is aa radical in his views as are the radical republicans in theirs, With him the war hag settled nothing. Nor he nor the extreme radicals can ever reach a point where the nation can balance itself. Tossed about aa we are in this political gale, we turn to the man whose hand is at the helm. From him we expect reform. The tide has reached its flood. We havo cursed the poor negro by too rapidly elevating him; and in the coming reaction he will eoon curse us. We have done all this for political purposes. In tho emancipation of the black we have gone so tar that we threaten to enslave the white; all this to the grievous Injury of both, The attack and defence of the one absorbing color have given birth to two great attempts at a dic- tatorship—one by Mr. Johnson, one by Congress, The former was defeated by tho lat‘er; the laiter must now be defeated by the former. This done, the battling political forces will come to mutual concession and unity of action. The country may then take a rapid march to union, peace and a brilliant future, First, however, must be swept aside the division of executive power as Congress tried to arrange it in the five military dictatorshios, In his determination that he will defend his branch of the government, Andrew Johnion is right; and the nation, in its cooler moments, must thank him. Sheridan broke loose from executive control—from the control of his military commander. He is removed. It is a splendid lesson of discipline to the army. General Sickles, forgetting, in partisan feeling, his military duty, disobeys the orders of his superior officer, and thus destroys the great principle that gives an army force. Is is right that an example should be made of him. The President has done the country service in removing him. Would that throughout the whole machinery of goverument the samo rigid discipline were infueeJ. The nation, now almost breathless, might breathe free again. Woe to North ag well as South if these States ara toshe cut into irresponsble military dictalstshipas When Congress make a law in accOrramce with our constitution they hand~it to the Executive power and sey, “There it is; execute it.” Were he, overridden by military officers, to prove unworthy the trust, then well might Congress impeach him. Lot him sweep away fifty district commanders, until he fluds a set who can understand that they are responsible to the Executive—the Executive to Congress. Now of the Cabinet. The country has long enough groaned under its pressure. We want men of more enlarged views—true statesmen— statesuien who forget, in the general good, all party feeling; and who, in every State of the Union, will rebuild the dying hopss which have finttered the nation. We want men who will lead in the great reaction which is marching to the salvation of our people. Relieve us from this madness about the negro, who must take his place in the ratio of his ability, and, im common with all our people, work out his own salvation, as brain light beings power. Now is the grand moment for the President to settle the question which has been so badly managed that it threatens our na ional existence. There now remains but one sword that can cut the knot, Once cut, there will he swept away the military dictator- ships and the wave of ignorance that threatens our republicanism. Let Mr. Johnson prepare to deal the blow; but first a new Cabinet— then strike; and let that stroke be universal amnesty—amnesty to the black, amnesty to the white. Relief for the Viettms of the Yellow Pover to Tex We invite special attention to the appeal, in another column of the Haran, in behalf of those suffering by the ravages of the yellow fever in the coast towns of Texas, and par- ticularly in Galveston, These sufferers are | of both Northera and Southern birth, and | whether of one or the other, are fully entitled | to that charity which knows no geograpbical boundaries, The Howard Association, com- posed of the most prominent citizens of Gal- | veston, has devoted itself during this dreadful season, as italways has for more than twenty years past, whonever pestilence has raged, to the care of the sick, the burial of the dead and the relief of the surviving sufferers, But fis funds are now exhausted, and et s meeting on Monday night of several citizens of Galveston now sojourning in New York, it was resolved to invoke the aid of Northern benevolence, which, to its credit be it said, has never turned a deaf car to similar appeals. Messrs. Spof ford, Tile: & Co., Norton, Slaughter & Co., C. H. Mallory & Co., Josiah Macy's Sona, George E. Biddle & Co., Gardner, Bacon & Co. and Williams & Guion are authorized to receive subsoriptions and to see that they are properly forwarded to the Howard Association ia Galveston. Practical Operation of a General Amuesty. ‘The proclamation of s general amnesty by the President would extend to all persons im- Plicated in the rebellion, black and white, the Executive pardon, and remove from them all pains and penalties imposed by law as 5 punishment for their offence. Upon its pro- mulgation every white man and every negro in the Southern States would be entitled to register his name as a voter and to take part in the business of reconstruction, All the citizens of each State, of every color, would then have a voice in framing the organic law under which they and their tamilies are (o live and die. Ih would then become the duty of the generals commanding iu the several military districts to recelve the votes of the pardoned rebels, without distinction of color. It may be in anticipation of a neglect or refusal to perform this duty on the part of the original five military commanders of the districts that the President has thought fit to remove them, or some of them, prior to the issue of an am- nesty proclamation. The constitutions of the Southern States, thus formed by the votes of all the'r citizens, white end black, would be submitted to Congress for its approval. The impeachment and ro- moval of the President would, in that case, be of very little moment, as Congress would have to approve or reject these constitutions, and could no longer evade the direct issus between universal amnesty and negro supremacy. The President, if impeached, would leave behind him an enfranchised South. What could Congross do? The Executive pardon, granted after the enactmont of the law of pains and penalties, would have nullified ao much of the law of Congress as deprived them of the right to vote, Could Congress again distranchise them? Under what pretence and for what crime? Certainly not for an offence for which they had already received the Execu- tive pardon, In fact, @ proelamation of genoral amnesty by the President, acting under his constitutional authority, is the only step that can put the real issue distinctly before the people, upset tho plains of the radicals and probably place Jobnaon himaeif in the flold as a can lidats agains! Chase, the national banks, tho Puritans vn tho niggers, Our Watering Places. Thirty years ago Saratoga used to attract from every part of the Union visitors who truly representod the culture and beauty and wealth, and every other claim to distinction offered by our best American socicty. In the height of the season the President of the United States, with General Talmadge on one side and General Scott on the other, might havo been seen at the head of the hotel table at Saratoga, surrounded by celebrities from all the influential classes of the community, But at present a most disagreeable contrast is ex- hibited by the crowd of gamblers and prize fighters and apendthrifts and ostentatious nobodies, whose vulgarity has replaced the re- finement and elegant simplicity of their pre- decessors. Only one or two old servants re- main who have not forgotten the fine old traditions of the place, How far away from those traditions we have dolfted is painfully shown by a letter {n yesterday's Heratp, de- tailing the ciroumstances of such a bloody tragedy at the Union Hotel last Sunday as never before stained the annals of Saratoga. Tt has become a maelstrom of the demoralizing influences that threaten to engulf our moderna socie'y, At Newport so marked a distinction has arisen between the guests at the hotels and tho sojournors in private cottages that {t has almost coasod to bea public watering place, Perhaps there, and at other similar summer resoria, the substitution of cottages for the vast caravansaries galled hotels would tend to correct the evils which gregariousness on the one hand, as at Saratoga, and caste on the othor, as at Newport, have occasioned. Meanwhile, a new watering place has this summer promised to distance competition We allude to Long Branch, which is so near New York and is #0 easily accessible, not only to New Yorkers but also to Philadelphians, as to have becomo already a favorite resort for both. Its admirable situation, its healthful air, its unsurpassed facilities for surf bathing (not to speak of the strong undertow, which, if somewhat dangerous, is quite convenient for any romantically inclined to suicide)—in a word, its manifold advantages have been amply expatiated upon by our correspondents, Long Branch had not been overcrowded be- fore the recent visit of General Grant and the announcement that President Johnson was ex- pected there; but it is full of visitors now, and, although the season will close ere long, it is probable that the next season will find it the most frequented and the most fashionable of our watering places. Its hotel proprietors must, therefore, take special pains to maintain the good character which Long Branch has won. The Pear All Bat Ripe. The Atlantic telegrams published yesterday, though they did not, almost did convey to us the intelligence that the grand European ball had been commenced, to the music of cannon and amid the light of flashing steel. The ball, however, is not yet opened, although prepara- tions are being made for it as rapidly as possible. The “dogs of war” ere in the last degree impatient and must soon be “let slip.” The proposed Baden-Baden conference is rather a dexterous countermove to the famous Salzburg mooting. It is a move singularly characteristic of the gonius of Bismarck, who always goes promptly and direct to his pur- pose. Napoleon cannot like it well. Without speculating rashly on the probabilities, it be taken for granted that Prussia will strengthen her position. The prize which is now being contended for is South Germany. The chances for the present are in favor of Prossia. The next move of France will com- mand the attention of the world. Our Fall Trade. With the approach of our fall season we discern increasing signs of Iife in our great business centres. Broadway, which is never ull, is becoming more lively, The crowd thickens in Wall street. In Duane and Church atreets and other large wholesale centres all is bustle and activity. Our imports are largely on the increase, Every vessel that enters our harbor is more richly laden than its predeces- sor, Our bayers have become less fearful and have already commenced to invest in stock, in expectation of @ busy and prosperous season. ‘The crops, which this your are auusually hoary, are cheering the hearts of our husbandmen. Sick of the monotonous gayety and the con- fined chambers of the various watering places, our up town population will soon have re- turned to their large and airy mansions and to the more solid and satisfactory life of home. A fow weeks more and the season will be at its height. Our warehouses, our hotels, our places of amusement, have all before them the prospect of a rich and abundant harvest, The Reckless Use of Firearms. Two fatal accidents have this week fearfully exemplified the danger of recklessness in the use of frearms. One happened at Saratoga, on Sunday, and the other in this city, on Monday. Tn the fist case @ struggle had been provoked by @ series of annoyances on the part of a drunken man who at length slapped his young opponent in the face, and on being pushed away made, according to one of the eye-wit- nesses, 8 motion as if to draw a weapon, when, as his opponent avers, a revolver which the latter had drawn was accidentally discharged, and the drunken man was shot in the face and died in afew minutos, This certainly seems to be a hard cage, and it is somewhat surprising, in view of the circumstances and of the conflicting testi- mony, and in view of the character of the young man assailed, that the jury should be reported to have found the wound “ma- liclously” inflicted. Whether, however, the discharge of the revolver was accidental or not, carrying it and drawing it cannot have been accidental; and in its best aspect the case affords a fresh and painful illustration of the necessity of rigidly enforcing here, as in France and England, the most stringent laws against carrying deadly weapons. In the second oase to which we have alluded ® young girl was shot on Monday evening, in this city, while at work near the rear window of a bookbindery. The bullet that stiack her came from a loaded pistol which suddenly went off while a man was examining it near a window opposite to the one by which the young girl was standing, Tho wound, it was decided, must prove fatal. In thia case tho dreadtul result must have been caused by gross and culpable carelessness, It offers a warning to all who have oocasion to handle loaded weapons, particularly anywhere in a crowded Both these sad cases should atarile our people into adopting the high standart by which tho most enlightened Kuropean legis- lation estimates the value of humaa life, and the severity with which it punishes those who are guilty of carrying or reck!ewsly using deadly weapons. Whenever accidents of the kind under conslderation occur from this perilous and prevalent habit, it would be well for our coroners to lay spocial stress upon the fact in their verd o'a, FIRES IN NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON Open Hostility Between General Grant and tho President. Refusal of Grant to Execute the New Or- ders Removing Sheridan and Sickles, He Claims that the General of the Army Alone Has Control of the Military Districts in the South. The Cabinet Unchanged, but Not Harmontous, Wasainotoy, August 27, 1867, 11 o'Uiock P.M. Tho Prosident and General Grant Reported In tion to the removal of Gonerals Sheridan and Sickles are irreconcilable, The orders issued by the President yes- torday, direoting General Hancock to relieve General Sheridan and General Canby to relieve General Sickles, have not yet been executed. It is said that General Grant, in a letter to the Presidont, declines to direct the orders to be executed, and states his refusal in strong terms, virtually denying the'right of the President to interfere in any one of the five military districts created by Congress ; asserting that the entire control of the de- partments rests by the Supplemental Reconstruction act in the General of the Armies of the United states; and that therefore he is not at liberty to, and will not, trams- fer it to another, ‘The letter has not been made public, but the above matement is bolieved to bo reliable, as it \s derived from ‘@sually woll informed sources. The Cabinet Crisis. The action of the Cabinet in verbally tendering thelr resignations to the President has created a great deal of misapprehension, and the matter appears to present itself to the minda of even the veteran politicians of Washington in s very complicated form. Tho vast im- portance of the question seoures it a much greater in- terest than {s usually manifested in movements of a po- litical charactor at tho present time, aud makes it the ‘universal theme of discussion in all ciroles, Thero are those bere who are believed to be deep in the confidence of the President who a that ail of the Cy bers have formally tendored their resignations, and there are others whose opportunities for being correctly in- formed are quite as good who contend that not one resig- nation hag beon placed in the hauds of tho President. Both assertions are tu the main correct, The simple truth ta, that all of the Cabinet oMcers have verbally informed Mr. Johnson that their resignations may be rewarded by him as having boon presented. Althongh the Prosident bas not in his possession the written res goations, if he should atany time deem it proper to accept either or allof them, he has but to give the usual noiice of: acceptance, when the receipt of the notification would bs immediately followed by a wrilten resignation, In sbort, the President now has it in hie power to make any change in the hoads of departinents ‘that may to him seom necessary for the fare of the govorament, It is highly probabie that the work of re- formation in the Cabinet will ba resumed at no distant day; in fact other Cabinct changes are daily, sven houriy, expected. Tt is eald that the Cabinet meoting to-day was not os harmonious as these mootings have thus far been since tho accession of General Grant, indicating that the topics under discussion were of a character to bring forth earnest argument and omphatie language. There are, however, no alterations in tho composition of the Cabi- net to mention to-night, whatever to-morrow may bring forth, Kecrulte Ordered to the Military Division of the Missourl.
