= 4 : NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1867. aud Congress-Lupertant us from Washington. Our Washington news this morning is more than lively. {t will be read by many with alarm, by some with delight, by all with inter- est. The storm has not yet burst, but it is brewing, and to all human appearance the explosion, when it does take place, will be on a scale of becoming magnificence. The Prosident, it appears, has no notion of resigning hig position. On the con- trary, it seems he is resolved to maintain his ground and fight it out to the last, what- ever the last may be. Pity he has so re- solved. His determination does not in the least change our opinion. [t is still our conviction—now, indeed, more than ever— that by resigning and making a clear state- ment of the case, as between him and Con- gress, he would not only have placed himself on high moral vantage ground, but would have acted for hia own good and the good of the country at large. As he has otherwise deter- mined, both he and we must abide by the con- Sequences. This, however, fz not all, The Presidant has not only resolved not to resign, but he has re- solved to proseoute with the utmost energy the policy which, by tho dismissal of Stanton, the removal of Sheridan and Sickles, and the amnesty proclamation, he has so vigorously commenced. Taking his ground on the con- stitution, impressed with the solemn trust re- posed in him as President of the United States, and retaining a lively recollection of his in- auguration oath, he will not, even at the com- mand of Congress, sanction a policy the only result of which can be that the Anglo-Saxon element in this great and free and proud re- public shall be put under the heel of a mean, a weak and an ignorant race. As to the un- desirableness of this result, there are many, ourselves amo. the number, who are in sympathy with President Johnson; but it is their and our opinion that the dreaded result would more effectually have been avoided if the President had voluntarily resigned, and, on the broad and intelligible isaue of negro su- premacy or no negro supremacy, appealed to the people. The President, it will be observed from our Washington news, looks forward to the cer- tainty of impeachment, and is preparing him- self to meet it It is not to be denied that the blood of the radicals is up, and that each successive move of the Chief of the State is goading them into wilder and wilder fury. To the opponents of the President the interval which must elapse before Congress can assemble will be an inter- val of agonizing impatience. The interval, however, will roll past; Congress in due time will assemble, and to a dead certainty Andrew Johnson will be impeached ; not, perhaps, for high crimes and misdemeanors, but for the simple reason that he stands obstructively in the way of the reconstruction plans of the popular assembly. In such a case, we are told, it is the determination of the President to prorogue Congress, on the ground that it has become a revolutionary assembly. If matters are allowed to advance to this point, we shall certainly bave reached an im- portant, not to say serious, crisis in our national history. It is easy for Mr. Johnson to say he will prorogue Congress; but what if Congress refuses to recognize his authority ? Which in that case will be right—the imperious President or the rebellious Congress? Or, what is more important still, which will gain the victory? If the members will not return to their homes at the command of the President, by what means will Mr. Johnson compel them? We know of but one means, He must have recourse to the army. He must play the part of a Charles the First, or of an Oliver Cromwell. Has he tho bravery to do so? Supposing bim to have the bravery, would the army obey him? Would General Grant or any other general in the United States bare his sword for such a purpose? Or will Congress feel itself compelled, in the name of the nation, to make an appeal to the army for protection? Which will the army obey—the President or Congress? It is mani- fest that in such an extremity General Grant, or whoever should hold General Grant’s posi- tion, would be master of the situation. It is not our opinion, however, that matters will reach this extremity. Congress, 80 soon as it assembles, it is more than probable, will proceed to the impeachment of the President. But the impeachment will amount to nothing if it does not at once suspend him from office. Will it suspend him? We do not believe it. Andrew Johnson, then, will continue to exercise his functions as before. He will not deem it necessary to put his prorogation threat into practice. The impeachment will drag its dreary length along for another year. For another twelve months Andrew Johnson will rule. During those twelve months he will be besmeared with all manner of slime and filth. At the end of that period will come the Presi- dential election. Andrew Johnson will havea little while longer to exercise his brief au- thority ; but bis chances of re-election will be hopelessly and forever lost. HERALD.

Bank of France and other great moneyed establishments in Europe have more money than they know what to do with, It is let out at two per cent inter- est, and sometimes at less on government secu- rities. Aga matter of course this extraordinary plethora, or, as the London 7imes says, unpre- cedented state of things, creates a great deal of speculation as to the cause. It is chiefly attributed to a reaction in the minds of capi- talists against previous speculations and ad- ventures which turned out badly. It is said that capitalists are acting from fear, as a burned child avoids the fire, Then, again, the unsettled state of Europe is considered as partly the cause, men holding fast to their cash and preferring to take a very low rate of interest where it is secure to letting it go in ventures beyond their reach. Now, there is some trath, doubtless, in both these nesumed causes; but there Is another and a greater cause hardly n broad stole andrew with noticed and that is the want of business for profitable investment for such an abundance of accumulated capital as Burope, and pa rand lower yoeterday old was excite ioularly England, holds. England especially has nearly |} reached the limit of production. Her mines and manufactures have come to the highest point of productivencas, and other nations, with more nataral wealth and equal skill and enterprise, have become ber successful rivals, That is tho main cause of the glut of money nd low tate of interest, While this ts thé situation of Hurepe tho reverse is the case here. Money can be profitably and safely employed in the United States at six, eight or more per cent. We could absorb all the capital of Europe in de- veloping the wonderful and boundless re- sources of our country. Millions of acres of the richest lands remain untilled. We can produce in the greatest abundance all the products of the temperate and semi-tropical zones. We have minerals of every kind that can be easily and cheaply obtained, and there is a surprising and constant influx of emi- grants who want capital applied to their labor. This is the country for the oapitalista of Europe to employ their surplus money in. There is no fear of it not obtaining a rate of interest throe times or more that which ts obtained in the Old World. Let these people gorged with money send it here, where it will bring them large incomes and double itself in the course of a few years. Great Revival of Business=Prospects of a Brisk Season. While the politicians are doing their best to unsettle the public mind and to lead the coun- try into new complications and difficulties, the great tide of business and general prosperity is flowing steadily onward, increasing in volume and force as it proceeds. From every quarter the indications reach us of « won- derful revival of trade, not ephemeral in its character, but based upon the solid foundation of bountiful crops and an unusually favorable season in which to harvest them end secure the wealth they represent, New York, as the centre of the commerce of the Union, is, of course, the firat to feel in a marked degree this onward stride in the national prosperity. Tho great activity apparent on our docks and in all our large importing houses is only the precursor of a rush of business that will soon be felt in all branches of trade, wholesale and retail, throughout the country. Every railroad train that arrives In the city brings its full load of passengers; the hotels are crowded to over- flowing ; and the clerka in the jobbing houses are beginning to find as much work on their hands as they can well attend to. The daily influx of strangers is enormous, and thousands of our country customers, after purchasing their goods, visiting our churches and Sabbath schools, and seeing the Black Crook, depart for their rural homes only to make way for other thousands who arrive hourly to take their places in the stream of business and pleasure constantly flowing through the metropolis. The advertising columns of the Heratp—the true business barometer of the country—afford a fair indication of the extent of this great revival. Our advertisements at this time are more numerous than in the corresponding sea- son of any former year. While this is in some degree owing to the fact that the Heratp has now become the medium through which princi- pals transact their business directly, without the intervention of middlemen or agents, the extraordinary number and variety of the ad- vertisemeats to be found in our columns afford unmistakable evidence of a fall season brisker than any we have had since the termination of the war. This happy state of affairs is beneficial in an infinite number of ways. Money is plentiful everywhere, and full pockets make men good Christiana, promote the publio health, extend life and foster morality. No person cares how many blunders Johnson may commit, or heeds the wild ravings of crazy radicals, so long a3 he bas all his debts paid and a plethoric purse in his possession. What fear of cholera or yeliow fever, or any other epidemic, when men have allthey can eat and drink, plenty of amuse- ment, ready cash at their banker’s and no care on their minds? The more widespread the general prosperity, the greater the blessing to the nation. If the railroads are amassing fabu- lous wealth, think of the delightful prospect that opens before the eyes of expectant legisla- torsand anxious lobbymen. If the farmers find their granaries filled to overflowing, with @ brisk demand and good prices for their pro- duce, imagine the happiness of rural wives and daughters in prospective visits to New York and increased stores of the latest Paris fashions. Asa natural accompaniment of the great revival of business come corresponding life and vigor iato the drama, the opera, the con- cert and every species of amusement. Ristori will be bere to delight the intelligent with her wonderful genius. Strakosch may visit us and bring home to her American admirers the charming Adelina Patti. Bateman will make a new sensation with his operatic troupe. Stuart, Brougham; Wallack and other man- agers will feel the impetus and give us a grand revival of the legitimate drama. The people will flock to the theatres and the halls, pleased with themselves and all the world. A social millennium is at hand, during which the demon of care will be bound hand and foot, and pleasure, enjoyment, good will and prosperity will reign triumphant. Who knows but that Johnson and the radicals may yet jingle their glasses together in good fellowship, and even Greeley and Thurlow Weed kisg and be friends ? The Russian Canard of the Tribune. A day or two since we were entertained by the Tribune with a Russian ullimatam to Tur- key. War was to be immodiately declared, and Crete to be annexed to Greece. The Tribune bad lit upon a comet, and was rapidly sailing heavenward. Massa Greeley was so struck by the phenomenon that he considered that glory enough had been won fot one day, and immediately resigned his seat in the State Con- vention. The comet suddenly went out, how- ever, in a blaze of manufactured glory. It no longer had a luminons tall, Greeley, dis- gusied, resumed his seat in the Convention, and the world settled into quiet.

The Fidrelandet, of Cpenbagen, of the 30th of August, publishes a lengthy article dwelling upon a long since expressed wish of North America to purchase thd Danish possessions in the West Indies, and advocating their sale to that Power, The writer says:— The cession might, perbaps, be less agreeable to Eng- land, but no Cause at present exists to take that cons! ation into account. It might aiso be possible to convince France of the policy of such ransfer of the Danish colonies te North America; for, after an advantagoous sale of those posseasion®, Denmark would b abled to make a material increase to her fighting power, and notably to hes ir jad feet The London News of the 0th of August, apeaking in its city aréicle of the congestion of specie in Bngland, says An unusually large amount of gold was sent into the Bank of Engiand yesterday, and the returns of that establishment, as well as of the Bank of France, con- tinue to afford evidence of an oxtraordinaty plethora of yet the stock markets bave to-day shown in- pression.

Opinions of the French Press on the Imperial Assurances—The * Dark Spots” in Europe. {From the Paris Liberté, August 30.) We mus: acknowledge it; Europe bas never had so formidable a ras f0 go through; neyor has a mora sole emn crisis occurred; ar has & future been 8» dark, Thiers was guilty of no oxaggeration whon a few months ago he exclaimed, “My memory seeks in valn for a yar. alfel to our present situation.” One dark spot alone on the horizon ia enough to warn the experienced pilot of the coming storm, It is not one, but three dark spots that stare usin the face, nofth, east aud south—on the Rhine, the Bosphorus and the Tiber. [From the Courrier Frangais, August 30 ] ‘We confess it; it is with indescribable, with heartfelt sorrow that we hear th yr declaring it is indis- pensable for a nation dike ours to trust to the wi-dom and patriotism of the government. Has the govern- ment, then, not yet understood that that blind conf- dence which it invites is a source of weakuess, not strength? * * * The Emperor mus! not delude him- self; bo must not trust overmuch to the enthusiastic acclamations that greet him on his tour. The cheers which hailed Charles X. at Cherbourg were but the prelude t the revolution of 1830. It has been often repeated of late, and with a malignantly hoatiie object, that the crisis before us is akin to those which have attended tho downfall of every government we have had since the , beginning of the century. 1867 is@ fated date, which recalls 1813, 1829 and 1847. Zb avoid the catastrophe, it ts, therefore, rience of the ime bas come to repeat = ppc that e w to turn to account the time. And if Napoleon L. had isaued the Acts Addition- nol on bis retura from Moscow instead of on his return from Elba, there can be no doubt that the course of con- temporary history would have been changed, and that France would have been the cal double restoration aad a double invasion.

Moreover, France has ever beon conscious of her strength, and she entertains chat feeling of conscious strength s0 deeply now that she is auxious to find repose in it, convinced that no nation on earth will be tempted to disturb that repose if she herself abstains from dis- turbing that of others. (From the Paris Temps, August 29.) The eee i aon at Lille will be regarded as a confirmation of he uneasiness which has been felt by the public for the last tweilvemonth. On the first read ing the “black spots’’ wich, according to the Emperor, have appeared in the sky of France, formerly so serong, and brilliant, would seem to be in the quarter of Mexico, This would be a confession of faults committed, aod of the check experienced in that important expedition, ona little more retlection, we perceive that lack spots spoken of must not be looked for in the past, but in the horizon.

Our readers will readily believe that wo have no pleasure in construing in this seuse the imperial speech, but it seems to us impossible not to see the trace of some bitterness cauced by Sadowa, and the hopes ceived at Saitburg.
