The President and Congress—What fs the Prospect fer President Johnson ¢ The special despatches which we published yesterday from Washington, disclosing the views and purposes of President Johnson in the further prosecution of his fight with Con- gress, have created in this metropolis, and will create throughout the country, a profound sensation. Satisfied that the programme thus disclosed has been resolved upon by the Presi- dent—because everything that he has done, beginning with the removal of Stanton, points in this direction—the questions recur, What is the prospect for Mr. Johnson? Will the issue be to him the triumph of Cromwell or the failure of Charles the First? He proposes to reopen the registration offices in the rebel States, in order that the rebels embraced in his last amnesty proclamation may be admitted to the ballot boxes in the work of Southern reconstruction; and this he proposes in defiance of the reconstruction laws of Congress. It is bis declared purpose, in the event of an attempt by Congress to remove him, to attempt the removal of Con- gress. This brings the contending parties to close quarters and to the consideration of the main question, vizi—on which side is tho heaviest artillery? Assuming that with the reassembling of Congress in the last week of time of most unusual excitement. The country vironed with perils; distrust bad se'zed upon many minds; errors and the forum vied with each oth: great and growing sentiment that promptly dealt with. that it was my misforwune to be chai and tried at this—to me—most inopportune of periods? Napoleon, The time has been, and that at no remote date, when the affairs of one nation were matiera of comparative indifference to the people of all other nations.“ Times have chanzel, and changed rapidly. We do not, because we cannot, say that the nations are bound together by love. They ara bound to- gether, nevertheless ; and, in view of the fact, it matters little whether they are bound together by love or by interest, More and more the nations are feeling themselves one. A natural and necessary consequence of this is that no one of the great nations of modern times can afford to be indifferent to the affairs of any other, : It is this general principle which enables us to understand the interest which is taken by the Old World in the affairs of the New, and the interest which is taken by tho Now in the affairs of the Old. There is an affinity—we cannot well call it electric, but it is as delicate as electric may be—between all pooples. Governments may havo different interests, but the interests of the people in all nations are oneand the same. Touch tho pulse of one nation and the throbbing of the universal pulse is felt. Do wrong to one nation, and the wrong is everywhere experienced. The speeches of the Emperor Napoleon at Arras, at Lille and at Amiens are iilustrations in point’ Since the close of tho late German war the Emperor himself his been mainly responsible for the creation of an uneasy feel- ing financially, not in France alone, but throughout the world. The aneasiness was a source not only of discomfort but of suffering to France. What France was to do France did not know. What Franca did know was that she was suffering, and that the state of sus- pense In which she was placed by the Empe- ror’s policy was the main cause of that suffer- ing. France, therefore, was impatient and the world was annoyed. The Emperor has at last spoken out. His speeches are before France and the world, and France and the world have been bold enough to give their opinions therson. What is the merit of these speeches, whether they mean peace or whether they mean war, are questions for the present aside. To those who are con- cerned about these points we commend the opinions which we have already expressed and the extracts which we g1ve from our European files in yesterday’s Heratp. The points which we wish to notice are, that the public opinion of the nations has forced itself on the attention of the Emperor, and that the Emperor himself is now tolerably well convinced that the game of keeping the nations under a continuous war excitement is.well nigh played out. The “black spois on the horizon,” the source of 80 much disquietude, the Emp>ror begins to feel are very much of his own creating. Fitz John Porter. General Porter appeals for a new trial. The charges which were preferred against him and under which he was convicted he deems can be disproven. We wish they had not been so thoroughly substantiated before the military board which tried him. A lost battle at a criti- cal moment, thousands of lives sacrificed, the war prolonged, Washington almost captured, and millions of dollars added to our debt, were the results of the inactivity of General Porter, who, with the force under him, might have turned the tide, but who, all day long, lay within the roar of the battle and’knew that General Pope was struggling against heavy odds. Another trial for General Porter would be an insult to the judgment of the well selected board which gave him his sentence. letter he says truly :— In his The verdict against me was found January, 1963, at a ‘was on- of great magnitude had occurred ; the press in responding to a yxample should be bad by which faithlessness or incompetency should be May I not now with truth A better picture of the condition of the country at that time could scarcely be drawn. The people looked on and saw officers who, to retain their favorites in command, were willing to sacrifice an army. An example was indeed necessary, and not one alone, but hundreds. Not until the heavy hand of real discipline was laid upon the army did our troops march to victory. To give a new trial now for military offences upon which sentence has already been passed would be to vitiate the high tone which should be maintained in the army and aima sad blow atits future efficiency. If we are to have a military organization let us put the standard high, and let every officer understand that when he fails in bis duty he is no longer in the service of the November the Honse of Representatives will, in the capacity of a grand jury, pass resolu- tions requiring the Senate, as the high court of impeachment, to try Andrew Johnson for certain “high crimes and misdemeanors,” what will be the next step in this case? If Mr. Johnson be next declared suspended in his official capacity, and Benjamin F. Wade, Presi- dent of the Senate, be declared President of the United States for the time being, what then? It strikes us that there the conflict must end, for the constitution provides no appeal against the removal of a President by Congress. All orders fromi Mr. Johnson, after he shall have been declared superseded by Congress, will be so much waste paper, and will be so regarded by all officials subject to the President’s authority. Mr. Johnson must not permit Congress to proceed to the ex- tremity of his removal or suspension, or he is gone. But he will anticipate this result and prevent it by proroguing Congress. The two houses, however, will disregard this order; and what then? The example of Cromwell, in dispersing the Long Parliament by a squad of soldiers, will then be the only alternative left to the President in pursuing his line of rosist- ance against Congress. But will Mr. Johnson take this hazardous step? We think that, with all the blunders he has committed, and with all the inducements and arguments that have been or may be presented in favor of it by Jerry Biackand the Blair family, he will be too wise to venture upon such a blunder as this, We daresay that this warlike programme, which he has foreshadowed for circulation among the newspapers, is mere Chinese thun- der, intended to frighten the radicals, and that this new radical hue and cry of impeachment ia probably more intended to frightea Johnson than for anything else. If the President were really serious in these fearful designs, be would hardly blazon them abroad to the world in advance of the time for action. If he were in earnest the word and the blow would come together. We guess that he has been unduly excited by the late elections in California and Maine, and thinks that his policy is at last creating a tremendous popular reaction against Congress, and that perhaps the people are ready for any measures that will rid the country of this radical Con- gress and its radical revolutionary schemes. If such, however, are the notions of Mr. Johnson in causing these hints of his present in- tentions to be made known, we suspect that he wili very soon be undeceived, and that he has again been making political capital for the fepublican party es represented in Congress. United States. We desire to do no injustice to General Porter; if he has such additional evi- dence in his favor as he believes will exon- erate him from the charges under which he was sentenced, or reduce the severity of the penalty imposed, let him state the evidence itself, and upon this the President may judge if it be advisable to give him another trial. a The War of the Reses. The party organs have been making a great deal of unnecessary fuss over the recent elec- tions in California and Maine, and have been striving to put their own interpretations on the results, according to their political affinities, The copperheads have claimed California as a democratic victory, and have pointed to Maine asan indication of the increasing strength of their own wornont organization. The repub- licans have striven to explain away the Cali- fornia disaster by pleading a local division in their ranks, and to account for the losses in Maine on the ground of the apathy and over- confidence of their friends. Neither set of politicians takes a correct view of the matter. The truth is, the people are thoronghly sick and tired of the disgraceful doings of the republican politicians in Wash- ington and all over the country, and are deter- mined to clear them all out and get rid of them altogether. The old anti-war copperhead democracy have nothing more to do with it than has the defunct Confederate govern- ment with which they were in sympathy all through the rebellion. The republican poli- ticinms have disgusted the people by their dograding equabbles and quarrels, which threaten to involve the country in all manner of difficulties ; and the recent elections are only the forerunners of a reaction against the leaders of the dominant party which will epread through nearly every State in the Union. The whole turmoll and confu- sion andér which we are suffering come from the republican politicians. The republican the republican Boutwell is denouncing the republican Wilson; the republican Butler assails the republican Old Blair; the republican Wendell Phillips attacks the republican Fessen- den ; the republican Governor Wells abuses the republican General Sheridan as soon as he can do so with safety ; the republican Hun- nicutt fights the republican Botts in Virginia. In our own State the republican Weed is in per- petual hot water with the republican Gr-eley and everybody else, and the republican Fenton intrignes against the republican Morgan. One set of repubiican revenue officers denounces another set of republican revenue offlcers as thieves, and vice versa, The republican Old Thad Stevens denounces republican Senators and Representatives generally, and the wiole army of republican expectants of country Post Offices are at their wits’ ends to prevent the republican Ben Wade from getting into the Presidential chair. It ia against this disgraceful exhibition that the people protest. They have already crushed the old copperhead democracy out of existence, and they are now determined to repeat the operation on the squabbling, quarrelling, fight- ing republican politicians who are at present swearing and tearing at each other in a disgrace- fal acramble for the lion’s share of the spoils. and Mr. McCal- Among all the rumors from Washington. of Cabinet changes little ia said about the re- moval of Mr. McCulloch. Of course he will never voluntarily resign. Indeed, he seems to be more firmly seated in his place thon any other member of the Cabinet. Yet there is no ohange so urgently required, none in wh'ch the people and government are more deeply iute- rested and in which more important conse- quences are involved. We cannot explain the Presiden‘’s conduct in keeping this incapable man at the head of the Tgpasury Department in any other way than that Mr. Johnson ‘ts igno- rant of great financial matters, an lis deceived as to Mr. McCulloch’s ability and his mia- management of the Treasury. The gross irregularities or frauds which have been discovered in the Department, and which have been brought to the knowled xe of some of the authorities and the Investigating Com- mittee of Congress, afford ample ground for the removal of the Secretary from office. All this is in evidence, and we have the facts as stated, although this. evidence has not been made public, and there is every reason to fear a portion of it has been suppressed. The sums involved in these irregularitivs or frauds are stupendous, We are afraid to state the amounts named. Whether they are overrated or under- rated we cannot say; but there is no donbt about the general fact of gross irregularities and mismanagement, involving a loss to the country of a very large amount. The facili- ties for committing frauds have been so great that we should not be surprised at the most astounding disclosures. If such things were to occur in any bank or large mercantile house the responsible head would be promptly re- moved. Shallincompetency in the person in charge of the financial affairs of the republic be longer tolerated? An incompetent bank man- ager may lose thousands, but an incapable Secretary of the Treasury may lose hundreds of millions and bring the country to bank- ruptoy. But it is not only in tho printing bureau of bonds and currency and in other branches of the Treasury at Washington where the evils of’ incapacity and misman- agement have been shown. Lately we have seen the government defrauded of millions upon millions in its internal revenue. The frauds in whiskey and other distilled articles have amounted to little less, if any, than a hundred millions of dollars. It is needless to say this has occurred through the dishonesty or ineffi- clency of agents of the Treasury Department. The head of the Department, the Secretary, is responsible, Had there boon an able and vigilant man in Mr. McCulloch’s place these monstrous frauds would not have occurred. Then tho whole financial policy of the Secre- tary is wrong. About this he has but one idea, that of the old British bullionists. He acts as if he were doing the business of « banker, favoring the capitalist at the expense of the community at large. His contraction notions and on to specie payment theories are crude and ruinous. With regard to contracting the currency, he sometimes makes an effort to carry out his theory and at other times takes a differ- ent course. Infact, he has no settled policy or fixed principles. With immenso piles of gold, as much in the Treasury as the Bank of England ordinarily holds in its vaults, and with 6 vast revenue and almost unlimited resources in the country, gold still goes up, and our },! burdens are not lightened. Besides, he fosters the monstrous national bank monopoly, which takes over twenty millions a year‘that rightly belong to the government and people, which threatens to devour all the profits of the nation’s industry, and which is o most dangerous politi- cal machine. We speak of his ignorance and of his incompetency for the important office he holds; but that is not all; we object to him because he fs the tool of Chief Justice Chase, of Jay Cooke, and of all the political and finan- clal schemers of that old combination. No; instead ot Mr. McCulloch being the last to leave the Cabinet, he should be the first. He is costing the country a vast deal and is alto- gether anfit for the position. We want an able financier and statesman for Secretary of the Treasury, and not asmall country banker, who bas no ideas above those of the counting house. Mr. McCulloch and his friends fiave made a great fuss about the reduction of the national debt within the last year or two, as if the Seo- retary deserved the credit. The truth is the resource of the country are so stupendous that we have bad a large revenue in spite of Mr. McCulloch and his mismanagement of the Treasury. Had we been fortunate enough to have had acapable man at the head of the Treasury Department the debt might have been reduced, with the same resources and under the same fiscal laws, mach more. In the samo time that it has been reduced a hundred mil- lions it might have been brought down several hundred millions, Tho question is not what has been accomplished in this way through the surprising resources of the country, but what might have been done by the exercise of even ordinary financial ability. With an iscome of five to six hundred millions a year; with s constant fund on hand of near two hundred millions, over # hundred miilions of which has been in gold, and that in time of peace, what might not the Secretary have done in reducing Congress is fighting the republican President ; | the debt? It might bave been reduced, proba- bly, four or five hundred millions, But had he been vigilant and prevented the enormous frauds on the- revenue of which we have spoken, six or seven hundred millions of the debt might have been paid. Never did the finance minister of any country prove so costly as he has been. Ho has been far too long in office, and for the good of the republic it is to be hoped he will resign or be removed.
