A Coup d’Etat by the President. The radical element has long ben crying the alarm throughout the conntry that Mr. Johnson is soon, by a coup d'état, to overthrow the government by armed forces and assume dictatorial sway. There is, bowver, in tho power of the President, a bolder, broader stroke of political policy than that which can be carved out by the sword, Bullet and bayonet my mike wild work, but the votes of the peonle, urred to action by common sense, wil mike a more sweeping overthrow of radicalism than all the armies thatcan be marsballet. Here, then, dep down ani under- lying the mid political waves, is the power that Mr. Johnson shou'd invoke; here, in the people, bea‘s the great heart, the great founda- tion of national safety, Lot Mr. Jonson re- sicn and appeal to it to reinsta’e h'm. Tue radicals have lony enotzh mad him their po- liticul football, and Lis o position to thoir revolutionary schemes bas been the real force which has given them united effort, consisteacy of action and the resultant forces. They have ure! the executive powor as a point at which al! blows mast bo directed; and in the down- fall of this the ralical party must di-appear, eith rin military dezpotism or in fragm:n's torced into separate action over a war for the spoils, Congress bas completely lost sight of the object for which it was culled in.o existence by the people. Its members no longer ropre- sent the great principles which are the only true basis of national stability. They have be- come, as it were,s unit ina con'est for po- litical supremacy, and have, in the tew short years of radical rule, reacho! the same point that the rebel element hed reached in 1860, Their plattorm now is what the rebel platform was then—“rule or ruin!” “ When we cannot rule by the ballot we shall appeal to the bullet.” Trying the issue of the first, they, through the negro, roll ignorance to the summit and demand the nation to look on and worship. Tie wiite man must cling to the bla*k and look to him for national regsnera- tion. Our political sun 1s g-owing so rcfalgent that we must no longer look at it except tirouch a dark medium. Blick becomes the national color, and the repuvlic, by the radi- cal p:rty,is forced into mourning. True to the fanatical spirit whch sways the minds of those who ery party first anl conviry afler- wards, the radicals, tom ke tho ballot surer, to make the national wreck more oomplete, to snk al that ‘ntelligenco holds of value in the once proud United States, finl the proconsular system to be a neces ‘i'y, an] forthwit five dic- tatorships spring into existencs upon a soil which we haughtily boast is pyrt of the repub- lic. Down with the white! up with the blick! and lo! at the word blick stinds where white stood, and white abjestly takes tue place of black. Ivnorance is ata premium and intel- ligence is n> longer a virtue. é The whole country is at length beginning to tire of this turmoil. Tho wave forced on has tenched its flood. Now comes reaction. California, the right wing of the lino, is broken. The left wing fecls the shock, and in Maine trembles almost to defeat. The centre, in Ohio, is so hard pressed that the most revolu- tionary of the radical revolut‘onists ra'ly to the fight and with speech which now thrsat- en, now implores, invoke the receding tide to flow back again. All along the great political backbone of the country, extending trom Sanity Hook to the Golden Horn, the line wavers, and the coming elections promise to deal the finl blows which will give victory; will give to the people the republic as it should be—the re- public ruled by the intelligence of the land, its destinies worked out by Caucasian brains. The reaction which is advancing is not demo- cratic nor republican. It is the great common sense of the people springing to save the wreck. The people have scen the democratic faction of the North lick the feet of its masters, the Southern rebels, and have secn it die with the rebellion. They have seen the radicals stripping instead of repairing the wreck, and now they cry “to the rescus!” Well js it needed; but who will lead? If Andrew Jobnson, cuiting himself aloof fom all those trammels and corruptions that wall in the Presidency, will resign, throw himself into the arms of the people and head the movement, he may be restored to his position by an over- whelming vote. at the next election. If, how- ever, he hesitates, remains as the binding force of the radical pa-ty, enables them to hold their would seise; and he will dissppear, to give place to a more masterly hand, directed with vision and firmer nerve. Let the Presi- and, travelling throughout every Union, demand that the people overthrow of the party that would government and deliver it over, ance and the nogro, then to to « rigid military i fi rf F Fs i FF i a] E Senaters Wade and Wilson em the Stump. We gave yesterday the sposch of Senator Wade at Cleveland, Ohio, and give to-day that of Senator Wilson, delivered last night at Wor- cestor, Mass, These speeches are to be ac- counted for much as Senator Wade aceonnted for his preseace at Cleveland. He was there, not because he had something tosay, but because he wasin the bill and was sent by the com- mittee. So we print the speeches, not because they are brilliant, able, eloquent or original— for they are neither of these—but becanse they are part of the political programme, and because there may be a certain amount of in- struetion for the people, if not in the ideas upon which a party lives, yet in the very fact that it is without ideas, We may present these two piecos of party harangue as satisfactorily sbowing two things—first, that the republican party, in using up the nigger, has used up its whole capital and has not o sinzle idea to present to the people—or none thatit dare present; and, second, upon how small a capital of original thought men may be the great leaders of a great party, and stand so high in party appreci:tion as to be nvmed, not sneer- ingly, as Presidential candidates. Mr. Wade made two points. One of these is that the national debt is “a mere bacatelle.” If the national debt 'a a “bazatelle,” men may ask the Senator what it is that makes that burden of taxes that he sometime ago deplored as weighing so heavily upon the people that he thought a new division of property might be necessary to lighten it. Mr. Wade’s other point was that he did not know whether he wa3 a white man or not. And these two points apparently constitute the political capital—the new ideas—upon which the republican party in the West goes into the campaign. Itremains to be seen whether an ethnological doubt and a financial falsity are good capital for @ political campaign. Mr. Wilson’s spsech also exhibits his party as bankrupt in principle anl purpose. He rambles over its achievements and tries to siir up the dying embers by a rush at Johnson. That will not ds, Jounson is too fir gone to serve as a good cause for any real enthusiasm in even the youngest political haaters. If re- publicans can give the people no better reasons than these leaders give for the life of their party, it must go, and all the States must join Maine and California ; for the existence of the white man is certainly one grand political fact aud neods assertion, The Fanny Fenians. Why should we sigh for a Panch ora Jndy, ora professedly comic paper with any name whatever, whea in the regular routine of our daily reporia we can find such funny reading as the account of the sayings and doings of those humorons lids, the Fenians, in the Con- gress of the Irish repubtic, now safely making lawa, not on the hills of Tipperary, or even in Toomey’s wood, but in Cieveland, Ohio? It may not bea joke at all, this Feaian Congress at Cleveland, with a green coa.ed sentry at its doors, and discussing a regulor annual mes sige from Pres dent Rober's; but if not, then ‘we must admit that Pat, wao langs so happily at all that is serious, is the only min on earth who can be preposterously serious over the exquisitely laughable. There was not only s mossage from the President, but one also from the “ Secretary of War,” proposing to organize an Irish army on the temp2rance basis; said army to pay its own expenses and the ex- penses of the war. “ The soldiers of the army ofthe Irish republic are to be sober and dis- ereet men”—as if the Congress did not know that when all the Feniyns get sober tie game will be up! This Srcreary will be, evidently, a gres'er blualercr thon Stanton was, and the Lish Presid:nt ought to turn him out. at once, unless there is an Irish republican tenors of dfize bill, in which case we cannot see that therepublic is within the saving power of saltotre. All the friends of freedom, however, mutt rejoice that the recent action of the Troy chamber- maids has not crushed the infant ropblic. It 'w ll be rememered that those chamiermaids, insensible to the euf-rings of thar nitive country, declared that they would contribute no more money till they were toll wiathal been don? with tao monsy previously given—a ridiculous requir-ment, that would expose to the world all the great plans of th loaders. Notwithstanding this s+2css'0n of ths financial magna‘es of the republic, the war against Great Britain will go on just tho sam: Money will be raised, and wo ars even told hay—overy soldior will be assesse1 ten conts. Nene of this money will be spent in “trappings” or “flags,” but in arms and ammanition—the whole of exch soldier’s tm cen‘s being stricily devoted to furnishing said soldier with one nusket, one bayonet, one cartridge box and forty rounds of ammunition ; and not a cent of it for green cloth or gold braid. With such a practical disposition—such an eye to reality inthe Fenian councils—it is clear that the daysof British power may be numbered——by alk persons con- versant with the integral calailu; We are glad to chroaicle a noble piece ef self-sacrifice on the part of the Fenian President He was re-electod President, but declined tonccept the position unless the Congress would mise half a million dollars for the cause. Coagtess could not doit. It pledged itself for a qiarter of a miltion, however, upon learahg which the patriot nobly consented to coms down in his price and serve his country til tha last cent was gone. With such a spkit smong tho leaders, who can despair of thelrish republic? What te the Parpose of the Ampesty Pre. clamation ¢ What is the purpose of Preident Johnson’s list amnesty proclamation? What will he do with 14? Does be intend to folow it up by re will no doubt have settled the controversy, in some way or other, with the administration. It is said that old Blair and tho young Blair, Jerry Black, ex-Governor Perry, of South Caro- lina, Bobby Walker, and others of that school, are doing their best to bring the President to a coup d’dat like that of Cromwell with the Long Parliament; but that, while that would be certain destruction to Johnson, it would do no good in the way of reconstruction, The only coup @’é#at which the President can now turn to any advantage Is the coup of the resignation of his office, and an appeal to the country. In playing that card he may still win the game against the radicals. The Press aud Poll as en Our Finances. The national banks and the bondhold-rs and ‘espitalists, who aro making desperate effor's to con'ract the currency and perpetuate their privileges, have enlisted a por‘ion of the par- tissn press of both sides in their cause. The Tribune, Times, World ani Evening Post, of this city, especially, have become the organs of the monopolisis, However muc they may differ on other matters, they agree in a fivancial policy that favors the few at the expense of the mass of industrious people, Contract the cur- rency, they say,no matter how much it may ineress> the burdeas of the poor and indus'‘ri- ous classes or paralyze inlustry, for that will make the rich richer; incre:se the wealth of the bondholders forty or fifty per cent, and place all the property of the middle classes and the tradesmen at the mercy of the national banks. They ery out repuiiation with afscted horror when it is proposed to pay the debt with lezal tenders They want the government to pay every hundred ia gold for which it received only about fi ty in paper, and this without any legal or jas! obligation to 40 ao ; thus propos- ing ‘olay upon the p2ople @ perpetual and insapportable burden for the benefit of a few. They are the advocates of the infamous n1- tional bank system, which takes twenty to thirty m'llicns a year from t'e people in profits on its circulation without render'ny any ser- vice for this extriordinary favor—a system which is the greatest fraud ever perp:trated on the public, and a most dangerons political machine. Thy favor, in short, a banking and financial policy entirely in the interest of mo- nopolists and capitalists and azainst the indus- trious clisses, We need no! b? surprised at this, however, when we consider the power of capital to manu- facture opinions or of a great monopoly to con- trola portion of th» press. TLero wasn atrk ng example of this between the years 1828 and 1832, in the war botwern te old Unite States Bank and General Jackson. That brnk, though no! anythiag like as power'ul or din- gerous as the present netional bank org.n‘za- tion, was hard to kill, and no Preiilent of les force of charact-r ani determina’ion thon Jackson po-sessed could have killed it, Bat it fonght hard, anl amony the m>an3 it used to preservy its power and privileges was the press. The Courier and Evuirer, of this city, received fifty-two thousand dollars from Nick Biddle for taking up itscause. This paper hid been with Jackson in tho fight until that time; but fifty-two thousand do'lars was 8 powerful argument, and the next day it turned over against the President and in support of the bank. It is not the least astonishing, then, to see at any time weak ani partisan journals brought over to sustain gigantic monopo'd:s, The na‘iona! bonks, bon tholders and capit:1- ists wh'ch are in‘erested in perpetuating their monopoly and in try'ng to force specis pay- ments, cin well afford to use large sums of money for this purpose. Thov can exercise great influence, too, over the politicians in Con- gres. Haditno! been for the independent pross and afew bold and iniepeniont m:m- bers of Congress daring the last year or two, the country would have remained in da kness os to the miserable eni ruinous financial policy ot Chase, McCulloch and the national banks, But, with all the power of this combi? nation in Congress and through the press, ligt is breaking upon the people. The last two sessions of Congress a powerful par'y was growing up in that body, among whom was the ablest leader in th» House of Representatives, Thad Stevens, against the crude ani destruc- five theories of the Chaso and McCulloch school of financiers. Ideas of @ more sound and prac‘ic1! charse- ter ara spreading rapidly. The peop'e are becoming enlizhtened. Able and sagacious men of all paries aro taking up tho subjoct earnestly. General Builer, of the radical party, and Mr. Pendleton, of the democratic party, one a lead'ng min of the Bast and the other a statesman of the West, have come out boldly in opposition to the nation:l bank monopoly and the sp:cie psyment clamors of the bondholders and their orgins. They are for paying the nitional debt im legal tondors as goon ag possible, and before the means of the people and government are reduced by contraction, They are for substi‘ating green- backs tor the national baak circulation, thereby saving to the Treasury twenty-five to thirty millions a year, and for having a uniform curg rency. They would make the bondholders contribute as other people do to the support of the governmen’. Those and other measures of a broad and liberal character they adopt as the platform of the future, all tending to lighten the burdens of the people and to liquidate the debt before it becomes insupportable. Thess sagicious men aro very little in advance of the times. Tho great West, embracing men of all parties, is almost s unit in favor of this financial policy; and soon the mass of the people in ell sections of the country will sap- portit, Thisis to be the great iese of the fature. Old political parties and party ques tions will be submerged by it. Privileges and monopolies of the national banks, of boad- holders and of speculating capitalists in gov- ernment fands, must give way to the interests of the mass of the people and welfare of the republic. All the signs of the times indicate that we are on the eve of a great change and © mighty struggle concerning the policy of the country. The Cretae Cirealer. . The Cretan insurrection has now lasted for more than a year. To the inhabitants of the island it has been @ year of unparallele! suffer- ing, of stabborn resistance, of heroic effort. ‘The Tarkish government has done ite best and its worst to pat down the insurrection. The world has looked on with patnfal indifference. ‘The Cretans, still ansabdued, mike an to the nations. What ts to be the result? the history of Crete to be a repetition of National | pel history of Poland? The Grand Turk has at last promised to do the Cretans justice. It will be well if the justice meted out lead to peace and contentment, A little later, and if the insur- rection is not suppressed it will be necessary for the great Powers to do someibing more than speak kind words to the Cretans and offer friendly advice to the Turks. The peoples are awaking to a sense of their rights, and op- pression in its more glaring forms will not much longer be tolerated. The Revenue Frande-Singular Action of Secretary McCullech. If the reports from Wasbington are to be credited, Secretary McCulloch has acted ina very extraordinary mannz2r, in interfering to protect from arrest and suspension a United States revenne collector accused of heavy trauds upon the government, The Metropo'i- tan Revenue Board was created som? months ago for the express purpose, as explained by tho Secretary himself, of patiing a stop to the shamefal violations of the internal revenae laws inregard to distilled spirits, the regular officers in New York’ and Brooklyn being not only found inefficent, but strongly suspected of complicity w:th the fraudulent dealers, One of tho first imvortant acts of the Board, so far as the exposure of corrupt government officials is concerned, bas been tho present movement In the Thiri district; and now we are told that the suspected] officer has mad» the best of lis way to Was'ington, and, backed by 9 strong outside influence, has obtained a special order from the Secretary of the Treasury for the transmission of all the papers in his case to that Departm-nt direct. This virtually puts a stop to the proceedings instituted by the Metropolitan Board, prevents the arrest of the alleged of-nder, and turrcs the whole affair into a political squabble, to to be fought over at Washinzton for the next two or thres months without any result, The course adopted by the Uniied States District Attorney in Brooklyn was cslculsted to bring the matter to a direct issue in the shape of a criminal prosecution, and to prove at once the guilt or innocexc: of the esccnsed party. If Secretary M-Culloch bas no confidence in the inte:rity of th» Dissrict Atiorney and the Metropolitan Revenue Board, he hai better get rid of them all at once. Buti’ he believes thom to be frithfal and] efficiont public officers, he has norigh' to obstruct ths:r actioa or to remove a person ac-nsol before them of frand upon the governmsnt beyond thir jurisdic tion. Such course on the part of tho Socre- tary is calculated to excite tho suspicion that he either des‘res to shield the suspected official or to evince his want of confilerce in the Dis- trict Attorney and the Motropolitan Revenue Board.
