The Extraordinary Revolution. We are hurrying onward to our political Niagara ; copperheads, radicals and all the fa- natical elements are sweeping down the rapids. Up to the time that Congress passed the consti- tutional amendment, and including that action, the people were satisfied. But when Congress, mistaking the will of the nation, loses its balance upon its giddy summit of power, then it is proper that the people should again rise and assert their will. The people, watching with intense interest the restoration of their social and progressive welfare, see no hope unless they draw the curb upon the power they have invested with authority. Tho situa- tion is easy of analysis ; for, with all the finely woven radical theories of black and white equality, we want to see those practical results which demonstrate that our legislative action has been productive of good. Search where we may, we can find no evidences of good re- sults; the attempt to reconstruct the South has gone on from bad to worse, until the ten unrestored States drag like a dead weight upon the progress of the nation. Here, in the great republic of the nineteenth century, we go back for precedents in government and find that the Roman system is the only one to which we can adapt ourselves. Thus it is an open acknowledgment that our territorial ex- tension imposes upon us the necessity of a great central force, governing, through a pro- consular organization, all the States that can in any way make a healthy opposition to its power. This principle once well rooted, it takes no prophetic brain to predict the suc- ceeding phases which attended the same sys- tem in Rome. Our people are too sensible to let the power slip out of their hands so quickly. The elections in California and Maine denoted the fact that the people were beginning to reason over the mad acts of a Congress as well as of an Executive that could not understand their desires, The two States named were only the preface to the tell- ing rebuke which we are now giving to our unworthy rulers. Pennsylvania and Ohio, po- tent in the lists, wheel into line and add their voices to the general outcry against misgov- ernment. New York, soon to come to the trial by vote, will doubtless follow the exam- ple set by the former States. The whole coun- try, in fact, is tired of this crushing process of reconstruction, which weighs with equally de- structive power upon both North and South. The Warren Hastings rule of India may have suited that country; the Roman provincial system may have been adapted to the ignor- ance of two thousand years ago; but those were cases where force placed pressure on ignorance. Intelligence cannot and will not bear such rule. There have not been men wanting in the radical party to recognize that their power was but short-lived unless they could throw some great ignorant element into the existing intelligence of the country. This element, the negro, they have seized upon and have, by superhuman exertions, floated him to the surface. Less buoyant than the elements around him, he can only be held up until bis own specific gravity overcomes our power to sustain him. That failing, he must sink to the level to which his talent fits him, and from which, little by little gaining light, he may rise by his own intrinsic value. To cling to the negro we must sink to his level ; by doing which we shall not elevate him but debase ourselves. It has taken some time for the peo- ple to appreciate these facts, but that they now are fully alive to them is undoubted. They see that they have been deceived by the political demagogues who have held the negro up as the main element in our revolution when he was only a minor issue. The revulsion of teeling, we regret to say, will, for the moment, be unfortunate for the black man ; but this is the fault of his fanatical triends who have forced him upward to « point where he cannot bal- ance himself. The action of the radical party has not been the creation of a civilization for the negro, but an attempt to turn the white race back toa barbarism which we have been trying to shake off and from which we have been emerging for more than twenty centurics. It must be understood that our people are awakened at last, and are little inclined to march in retreat. The elections of Ohio and Pennsyl- vania fully demonstrate it Let it not be sup- posed, however, that these elections denote a victory for the old democratic party, whose principles, as shown by the rebellion, were “rule or rain.’ It shows, on »the contrary, that the republican element of the country, tired and disgusted with the radical pro- gramme, have, for the moment, stepped aside to give rebuke to their leaders and show them that the intelligence of the United States is not willing to accept a rule that cannot stand ' the analysis of common sense. Thoro is a mighty conservative power quietly, holding itself in reserve and watebing our political fortunes, It is awaiting the next Presidential election, and when the moment Gomes to strike it will deal » terrible blow ; gomocrat, radical, copperhead and fanatic wily go down before it A President totally’ ungttea to appreciate the demands made upol, pim will disappear, and a Congress that hes made a party football of the nation wil) also be deposed to give place to the best men of the country—the true conservative element of real statesmanship. Progress of American Comic Ljreracure. It would be wrong to predicate on the fail- ure of several comic journals whic, have been started in this country the total absence of the comic element in our current jjterature. The failure of these journals, notyithstanding the recognized talent of many of their contribu- tors by pen and pencil, can easily pe account ed for by a variety of reasons, NO} the least of which is the fact that almost every one of them has been the organ of a clique—z fact fatal to anything like catholicity in vi¢ws of either persons or things, Moreover, % the HenaLp has often intimated, it is the habi! of the Ameri- ean mind to look for wit and homo, not ina journal specially devoted to thige enlivening qualities, but rather in some cO:ner of almost every newspaper. Consequently according to the grand law of supply and detand, stories, anecdotes and jokes are to be found in almost every American newspaper, relieving agree- ably the driest details of news tnd the drear- iest dissertations on political, religious or scientific topics, The annual aggregate of witiicisms which are thus scattered throughout the columns of our daily newspapers far ex- ceeds the “fifty-two jokes 9-Ysar,” which, ac- cording to Emerson, are all shat can be ex- pected from Punch or Charivart, The lambent play of humor in the pages of Washington Irving, the keen wit of Oliver Wendell Holmes, “a fellow of infinite jest”—briefiy, the charac- teristics of each of a long list of humorists, from “Jack Downing” to the authcr of the “Biglow Papers,” the author of the “Georgia Scones” to “Bill Arp,” “Artemus Ward,” “ Josh Bil- lings,” “Mrs. Partington” ang « Mark Twain” — amply illustrate the claims pf American wit to recognition for individuality, local coloring and power, whatever objection may be made to ita proclivity to exaggeration. And it must be conceded that of jate a great im- provement is manifest in the illustrations of some of the profsssedly comic papers which have retained fn extensive circulation. Poorly enough executed in comparison with those of some of thy European journals of a similar class, they exhibit, nevertheless, de- cided progress. They are far better than for- merly in drawing, and they really attest greater fertility of invention than many of their trans- atlantic model, Moreover, they are, for the most part, quit: up to the times in their selec- tions of topicg and they respond promptly to the vital inte-est of the American public in political affair; In fact, they serve not ineffi- ciently the purposes of the old mutilated statue that wed to stand at the end of the Braschi Palaye in Rome, and near the shop of the famous gossiping barber, Pasquin, whose name was c/nferred upon it. This statue was for a long time covered with lampoons, or pasquinade:, upon popes and cardinals and other pers‘os in high station. The principal illustratiors of four of our comic journals for this and tie following month consist of pas- quinades, quite vigorous and sharp, upon the President of the’ United States. Thus, the Comic M nthly, with its “New Fable” and its “Game o Chess ;” the Phunny Phellow, with its “Great Chief at Washington Putting on the War Pairt, Preparing to meet Congress,” and with its ‘Anticipated Tragedy at the Washing- ton Theatre ;” the Budget of Fun, with its “A. J., his great Politico-Theatrical Entertainment for th» Fall and Winter Season,” and the Yanke Notions, with its “Big Chief Andy Johnsona,” all offer amusing variations of the same theme. The Yankee Notions also pre- sents a clever caricature of “Charles (John Huffman) Dickens’ ‘Improved’ Readings in America.” It is not too much to say that, if the execution of these caricatures were im- proved proportionately to the latest marvel- lous developments of the art of wood engrav- ing, they would compare favorably with those ot European comic journals, and tbat in point of originality and wit some of them are quite superior to those which mark the gradual de- cline of Punch from its old standard of excel- lence. The Citizens’ Association of New York en the New Court Honse. We publish in another part of the Hzratp a communication from the Citizens’ Association of New York, of which Mr. Peter Cooper is chairman, addressed to Henry Smith, Esq., President of the Board of Supervisors of the county of New York, on the subject of the delay and enormous cost in building the new Court House. The Citizens’ Association only revives the exposures and repeats the arguments made in the Heratp long ago with regard to this stupendous job. We need not repeat what we have said before or what the Citizens’ Associa- tion says, but call attention to the communica- tion. The people will there see how infamous- ly the public money is squandered, or rather stolen, by our city officials and contractors. The new Court House will be kept unfinished as long as possible, for it is equal to a gold mine to the corrupt rings of this city. This communication of the Citizens’ Assovia- tion may do some good, but we despair of any change for the better till the whol» city gov- ernment be reorganized. ‘The Party Papers on the ‘tions. The copperhead papers are nwkiug a great fass about the late elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They call them democratic vieto- ries ; but they do not seem to know the canse of the victory. We led the road to the results of Tuesday when we showed up the disrepeta- ble action of the radicals in nominating such » fellow as Barnum for Congress in Connecticut. ‘That was the first blow that radicalism re- ceived, and from which it never recovered. But it happens, curiously enough, that the two party organs in the city—the copperhead World and Jacobin Tribune—both supported Barnam. The copperheads did not know the way before them; but now that the elections have come off they claim for « democratic victory what is only a change of sentiment in the people. The fact is that there is no use at all for party papers. They have no influence, and they had better wind up their business and shat up shop at once. President Jobnson im the Present Crisis. A golden opportunity is now before Presi- dent Johnson to make himself the undisputed master of the political situation and his admin- istration a positive power in the land. If he has any pluck, any sagacity, any clearness of vision in perceiving the advantages of his present position, he will readily understand what is required of him to reach these advan- tages and to turn them to good account. The great Central States, through the voices of Pennsylvania and Ohio, have spoken on this radical ultimatum of universal negro suffrage and negro supremacy, and it has thus become manifest to all eyes that we are on the verge of one of the greatest of revolutions in the annals of our political parties. Mr. Johnson may now do much to give cobesion and direc- tion to this new uprising of public opinion, and a complete reconstruction of his Cabinet is the first easential to meet the demands of this crisis, In beginning a new administration with an old Cabinet Mr. Johnson undertook s very difficult task ; but in attempting from time to time to adapt this old Cabinet to a new order of things, by patching a patch here and a patch there, it was “love's labor lost”—an ex- periment not only profitless but so fruitful of disasters that he may be thankful it has not cost him his official head. But if, in an official sense, he has escaped the last misfortune of Charles the First or Louis the Sixteenth, it is because his mistakes have served the purposes of his adversaries and they have profited by them. Now, with their own heavy budget of blunders, condemned by the popular voice of the Northern States as far as they have ex- pressed themselves, Mr. Johnson may turn the tables upon the baffled and astounded radicals, and identify his name, his policy and his ad- ministration with the great majority of the loyal masses of the loyal North. To this end he needs a new Cabinet, begin- ning with the State Department. Retirement would not now be an act of cruelty to Mr. Seward, butan act of kindness. He has outlived his day of usefulness in public life. He belongs to an age and generation, to a political system of dogmas and ideas, that have passed away. The best that his faithful, good man Friday can now do for him is to glorify him at the expense of Mrs. Lincoln, and in mean and scandalous tattle about her little bills as lady of the White House. To get rid, therefore, of the master, in order to be relieved of his man, would be of itself good move on the part of the Presi- dent; but much higher and larger consider- ations call imperiously for a new Secretary of State. s The same broad and general reasons, to a greater or less extent, apply to all the other members of the existing Cabinet, including old Mr. Welles and his ring of spoilsmen under the care of Mr. Fox. We understand that Mr. Johnson has been meditating for some time past upon such a stroke of policy; and it has been intimated to us from well informed sources at Washington that he will, in all probability, under the encouragements of these late elections, proceed, without further delay, to active measures. Let him do so; but let him, in the reconstruction of his Cabinet against the implacable radicals, be careful to avoid the other extreme of incurable copper- heads, He wanw no such official advisers about him as either of the two Seymours, or the two Woods, or Mayor Hoffman, Voorhees or Vallandigham. Such dead weights would soon sink Mr. Johnson beyond the reach of a resurrection, He wants mon thoroughly iden- tified with the Union cause in the war—men of whom the loyal masses of the North are justly proud, and yet men who are not com- mitted to the revolutionary schemes of radical fanaticism—not visionary, but clear-headed men—such men, if you please, as Grant, Thomas, Sheridan, Hancock, Farragut and Porter. In the intermediate coursé thus suggested Mr. Johnson may now do a great work in fusing the conservative Union men of both par- ties into the victorious party of 1868, leaving Northern radicals, fanatics and copperheads and all the disturbing factions of the day, North and South, high antl dry, like the drift- wood left on both sides of a great river from a heavy flood. We may say, too, that if the revolutionary programme of the last two ses- sions of Congress stands condemned by the people, the constitutional amendment upon which the elections of last year were contested stands emphatically endorsed. A Cabinet, therefore, and a message to Congress, framed upon this issue, and especially upon the suf- frage settlement embraced in said amendment, would make at once a diversion in both houses of Congress as fatal to the radicals as it would be advantageous to the administration in se- curing the legislative balance of power. Mr. Jobnson will do well to understand that the people have not been following him or fighting his battles in these late elections, but that they have been pronouncing judgment against the vicious negro schemes of radical fanaticism, as they pronounced a year ago in favor of the fair and acceptable scheme of Congress which the radical leaders in their inflated folly and self- conceit abandoned, Our News from Italy. In one of our evening journals we have had 8 proof of enterprise which is really fitted to alarm some of our older morning journals. A long and costly telegram relating to the situa- tion in Europe appeared in the Telegram of Tuesday. The news thus conveyed revealed a knowledge of the situation in Italy which was so full and convincing, that in many minds a revolution of opinion has been produced. The uprising in the Papal States has not been so alarming as we had been led to believe. It is now full time, supposing the insurrection to have been general, that Rome were in the hands of the insurgents. Rome seems to be quiet and fearless. The Papal troops seem to be equal to their task. Headway, if being made at all by the insurgents, is being made but slowly. Tho Italian government has not interfered. Napoleon has landed no troops. Itis difficult, in fact, to resist the conviction that the capture of Garibaldi bas converted what was intended to be, and what might have been, ® formidable insurrection into # miser- able fiasco. If one of our telegrams of yesterday prove to be correct Napoleon has resolved upon & wise and satisfactory course. The occupation of the whole of the Papal States, with the single exception of the city of Rome, may satisfy Italian ambition, coupled, as the occu- pation is, with the prospect of getting Rome also on tho occasion of the death of the present Pope. The rumored arrangement can scarcely be less agreeable to the clerical party in France. Italy wants Rome, and Catholies in and out of France have a regard to the com- fort of the Holy Father. If Italy will be satis- fied with the present occupation of the Papal territory and the prospective occupation of Rome, the clerical party in France will not be without reason for believing that Napoleon is still conscientiously acting the part of the elder son of the Church. Mrs. Liscelm and ‘the Partisan Press. American gentlemen have acquired a repu- tation over those of any other country for their courtesy to women ; but our politicians and partisan journalists certainly cannot claim that distinction. The manner in which some of the republican editors are assailing Mrs. Lincoln, the widow of their martyred chief, is disgraceful. The community of the Five Points. would have as much decency and cer- tainly more gratitude. The radical organs of this city, with the old lobby king, Thurlow Weed, attack this poor lady in a shameful manner because she has thought proper to sell some of her dresses and jewelry to relieve herself from pecuniary embarrassment. Has not Mra, Lincoln a right to sell her own property, as well as any other private indi- vidual, without the interference and disgusting comments of the partisan press? Thurlow Weed has been mean enough to publish some details about the cost of a dinner given at the White House to Prince Napoleon and the charge made for it. He says Mr. Seward only paid three hundred dollars for just such a dinner as Mrs. Lincoln paid nine hundred for, insinuating that she wanted the Secretary of the Interior to pay her more than the dinner cost. Even if this were true, which few will be inclined to believe from such an authority, it is disgustingly mean to mention it. The fact is, theae old republican politicians have always persecuted Mrs. Lincoln. They made it a grave charge against her because she had a brother in the rebel army, when every one knew she neither had any control over this brother nor could be responsible for his conduct. The truth is, these men, who owed a large debt of gratitude to Mr. Lincoln and bis family for the favors they received, have behaved s0 badly and ungratefully that they are afraid of public opinion and are base enough to attempt to throw odium upon the poor widow of their President’ These republican man- agers, who are now washing their dirty linen before the people, will damage themselves more than the victim of their ingratitude and vengeance. If they have no sense of pro- priety or decency the people have, and will know how to estimate their odious attacks upon a widowed and defenceless woman. The Fanay Fenians. Those terrible fellows in buckram, the Feni- ans, are again poking the British lion in the sides and threatening him from Jones’ Wood. A muster and parade of the “grand army ” of the Irish republic, consisting of a single bri- gade of “centres” and patriotic recipients of the money of poor servant girls, took place on Tuesday and was followed by libations of lager beer and the usual hackneyed assur- ances of the wonderful power and pros- pects of the organization. The servant girls, however, taught by the experience of the last two years, keep aloof, and there is little to be got now when the Fenian hat is passed round. They have been humbugged too often not to know now that a flank movement by way of Jones’ Wood is directed against their pockets and not against the “cruel ”” At the last muster and bluster of the ferovious yet fanny Fenians the o: jon was represented by the usual set of gentlemen, gamins, poets, adventurers, filibusters, saints and sinners, who jump up like a “Jack-in-the-box” whenever a police- man is beaten or a prisoner rescued across the ocean. But their race is run, as, with Arch- bishop McCloskey and his clergy against them, their raids on the hard earnings of their poor, honest fellow countrymen in this city have been effectually stopped. Impeachment Played Oat. A petition is going round for signatures asking the Fortieth Congress to impeach Andrew Johnson without unnecessary delay. We rather think that impeachment is knocked on the head. The eleciions on Tuesday set- tled it. It is laid out flat on the radical plat- form, and it makes what the old crones call “a very purty corpse.” CABINET MINISTERS IN TOWN, Arrival of Secretary Seward and Postmaster General Randall. The Secretary of State arrived in this city yesterday morning by thejearly train from Washington, accom. panied by his son, Colonel Augustus Seward, and « colored servant. Mr. Seward drove straight to the resi- dence of Mr. Thurlow Weed in Twelfth street, where he Dreakfasted and spent the greater portion of the day. In the afternoon he took # drive inthe Park and re- turned to Mr, Weed’s house atsix o'clock in the evening fordinner, He leaves the city this morning by the eight o'clock train on the Erie Railroad for Goshen, accom- panied by Mr. Weed and family, where he will remain to-day, and then, after short stay at his birthplace im Orange county, proceed to Auburn, where he is expected om Saturday.
