At the meeting of the Eclectic Medical Society ia Albany yesterday Mrs. Hayden, of New York, was elected to a membership, General Grant and Presidqnt Johnson=Tho Union and the Constitution. The two most conspicuous public men be- fore the country to-day are General Grant and President Johnson—the one the successful leader of the armies of the Union in the subju- gation of a gigantic rebellion, and the other the resolute defender of the constitution in the important work of the restoration of the rebel States. Upon these two men the eyes of all sections and all parties of the country are now fixed in reference to the shaping of the issues and the opposing parties in our approaching Presidential contest, and for the simple reason that Grant and Jobnson are each capable of wielding in this contest an important political balance of power. Like King Saul among the mighty mon of Tsracl in his day stands General Grant among the warriors of the Union, a head and shoulders above them all. From Fort Donelson to Appo- mattox Court House his record against the skilfal leaders and desperately fighting armies of the rebellion is a record of comprehensive combinations, strategy and tactics; victories and captures in their magnitude and in their consequences unparalleled in the ware of mod- ern times, except in those great Continental campaigns which made the First Napoleon master of Europe. In truth, there is no cam- paigo of even the First Napoleon which, in the area of territory and in the various salient points,embraced, on the land and water, and in the numerous and widely separated co-ope- rating armies engaged, will compare with that stupendous campaign of General Grant which began with the stirring out of General Lee from the jungle of the Wilderness in the spring of 1864, and which ended in the collapse of the rebel confederacy, with the disarming of its four hundred thousand fighting men in the apring of 1865. Such is the record of General Grant as the leading champion of the Union in the field against the most formidable rebellion in his- tory. His services, too, since the war, in the matter of Southern reconstruction, have added to his laurels as a soldier the reputation of a cool and practical statesman. In this ca- pacity both President and Concress, in their great embarra:sments, have looked to Grant for advice; and so he has stood the right- hand man of @ conservative administration and the main reliance of a radical national assembly. The marplots of Congress, however, are resolved to detach him entirely from the President, or between the two stools to bring him to the ground as a Presidential candidate. We may infer, too, from recent events at Washington, that the radicals havo substan- ally secured their man, ond that conse- sently bis chances for the republican nomi- aation are greatly increased. This despgrate crowding of Gencral Grant into acorner results from the vigorous and persistent hostility of President Johnson to the radical destructive polley of reconstruction. So far, too, bas Mr. Johnson succeeded in baffling and arresting the despotic and revolutionary schemes of the radicals, that he now stands the embodiment and the champion of all the opposing conservative and constitutions) elo- ments of the country, North and South. Stil! there are men professing some degree of wis- dom in our political affairs who, while admit ting the grest services of Mr. Jotnson in defence of the constitution, are inclined to class bis pretensions and bis position with those of John Tyler. This isa great mistake, The issue upon which Tyler was detached from the whig party was involved fn his vetoes of certain hybrid nations! bank bills; but with his second veto the question was settled, and there was an end of it. Towards the close of his administration the only issue for the succession was the i{ssue of the spoils, and upon this issue the democrats wisely selected a new candidate as preferable to an old one, and Tyler supported the movement. The case of President Johnson ia widely different from this. Ho is now en- gaged in the very crisis of tho battle with the destructive Jacobins of a radical Congress. If he were to give way the whole cause of a, constitutional restoration of the Union would be lost, Aji men of all partics opposed to the NEW YORK MERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY’ 16, 1868. revolutionary and despotic schemes of the radicals have learned to rely upon Andrew Johnson for a deliverance, and they have now no otherreliance. ~ Why, then, we ask, are the short-sighted leaders and managers of the democracy casting about among the Pendletons and the Seymours fora new standard bearer, in the midst of the fight, when Andrew Johnson, the actual leader of the opposition forces, has them all in line and the enemy fairly upon the hip? The re- publicans of 1864, in renominating Abrabam Lincoln, did so because az their leader against the rebels of the South they were satisfied that he, of all men, was the man to finish the battle he had so bravely undertaken and had so faith- fully carried on, Mr. Johnson against the de- structive radicals of the North now stands in a similar attitude. In this crisis against Chase or Grant a8 the radical candidate, it may well be doubted whether any other man is competent to take Johnson’s place as the recognized head of all the opposition forces, Without his support they are shipwrecked, but under his banner they secure at once” the key “ness and skill the recent suc: to the enemy’s position, Such is the balance of power which Andrew Johnson holds in re- ference to the succession. Is it to be used or cast away? That is the question. The Reorganization of Political Parties In the State. Tho several political partics in the State are busily engaged in the work of reorganization preliminary to the approaching Presidential contest—burnishing their arms, patcbing their old clothea, selecting their leaders and map- ping out their plans of the campaign. The radicals in this city have made a clean sweep in their General Committee, deposing all the old officers, who cut down the party vote fifty per cent in the last December election, and putting a new set in their places. Those “ancient and fish-like” democratic leaders, Horatio Seymour, John A. Green, Peter Cag- ger and Sanford E. Church, recently assembled at Albany to take into consideration the pro- priety of retaining in their hands the manage- ment of the democratic organization and run- ning Seymour for President; but their love- feast was spoiled by the sudden appearance of the Tammany leaders at the Siate capital, who proceeded at once to organize the Legis- lature, and on the strength of their tremen- dous majority in this city last November succeeded in effectually deposing Sey mour, Cagger, Green, Church and Company, and in taking into their own possession the wires that move the democratic machinery all over (he ‘State. The conservative or Seward républi- cans have also been on tho alert; and atter brushing up their home affairs in New York, and electing a president, vice presidents, sec- retaries and treasurer of their respectably select organization, are now in Washington, probably making an effort'to induce Andrew Johnson to strengthen their hands for the Presidential fight with such little patronage as he may have to bestow. | Of all theso partica the democrats will oc- cupy the most important position in the ap- proaching campaign, from their sweeping vic- tory of last fall and the complete revolution they then made im the political standing of the State. With ordinary prudence the New York democracy will not only increase their majority next November over the revo- lutionary radical negro reconstructionists, but will carry with them nearly all the Northern States and elect the next President, together with their own Governor and other State officers. But in order to do this they must eschew all such small politicians as Church, Cagger, Green and Hoffman, who have neither brains to conceive a plan of campaign nor courage to execute a bold political movement, and must place themseives under the leadership of the mon who won for them the tremendous victories of last November and December. It is time now for the party to select a standard bearer, and their choice should fall upon Peter Bismarck Sweeny, to whose masterly management, bold- 33 of the party is wholly duo, The domocracy of the rural districts, under the leadership of Dean Rich- mond’s former lackeys, were beaten by their opponents last November, and if it had not been for the vote of New York city the As- sembly, the Canal Board and all the State oM:es would still be in the hands of the Fenton radicals. ,But Bismarck Sweeny came to the rescue, rallied the democratic masses of the metropolis, mode combinations with the skill of an accomplished general, and piled up a majority large enough to redeem the losses incurred by the blundering management of the country leaders and to entirely revolu- tionize the State. The democracy of New York should, there- fore, immediately nominate Bismarek Sweeny as their candidate for Governor next fall. Under his standard they will succeed in unit- ing all the conservative elements in the State. His extraordinary skill in combinations is established by the fact that he succeeded last December in domolishing all the outside demo- cratic organizations that have so long mado successful war against the regular democracy of the city, and for the frst time in ten years has gathered the whole democratic party of New York inside the Tammany Wigwam. Hoffman ond the rest are only the toole with: which Sweeny worked. They are incapable of managing a party, and could never have suc- ceeded but for bis master mind and extraordi- nary power ag a political leader. Sweeny has also shrewdly estabilshed for himself a wide popularity by giving upto the city treasury some hundred and fifty or two hundred thou- sand dollars » year—the perquisites of his office of City Chamberlain—thus showing him- self to be # practical reformer and economist, This one act will gain for him one bandred thousand votes outside his political party, and we bave no doubt that his majority for Gover- nor will be larger than was ever before cast for a public officer in this Siate. Let the New York democracy at onco make this nomina- tion, and the American Bismarck will use up the Jacobin Fenton and hia radical followers aa thoroughly as the Prussian Bismarck ever used up Napoleon. Fansixo tae Reve’ A sample of Gnan- cial ability, or rather practical joking, was shown in Congress on Tuesday by our radical Solons. A resolution instructing the Com- mittee on Ways and Means to inquire into the expediency of selling to the highest bidder the exclusive right to manufacture whiskey in the United States was introduced before the House of Representatives by @ preqogique Necker, from Ohio and adopted. History tells us the disastrous consequences that resulted ,trom! farming the revenues of France immediately before the revolution took place, and it woula seem as if our “bright” legislators were bent on bringing us to the verge of financial ruin, The brilliant suggestion may not be adopted by the committee to which itis referred, but it entitles its author to the position of “end man,” ov “little joker,” in the Congressional minstrel troupe, Progress of the Radical Nigaer Whitening Process Down South. The reports of the proceedings of the Bouth- ern radical constitutional conventions continue to be diverting and charactéristle both of the humor, ignorance and desperation of Sambo. It is evident that the nigger whitening process is meeting with but equivocal success. The extreme is attempted in the Louisiana zebra Convention, where the blacks, encouraged by their white allies, are grasping at more than the privileges extended to whites. In all the public places, in all respectable hotels, travel- ling cars and steamboats, where the discretion of managers and agents is exercised in regard to the propriety of receiving and entertaining white guests, that discretion is not to be per mitted in the case of negroes, A white man drunk can be ejected Sich impunity by a Louisiana landlord, but a black man drunk can be visited with no such indignity under the new constitution, A black loafer, foul with filth, can take his seat beside a white lady at the hotel table, in the steamboat saloon or in the railway car, while a white loafer would be turned adrift without ceremony. In public assemblages a black barbarian can yell to his heart’s content and commit acts of dis- turbance without molestation, while a white rowdy is hastily despatched to the nearest sta- tion house. Briefly, the whole scheme of these Louisiana radicals is to make the black not only the equal, but the superior, of the white man ; to break down all the rules of society, looking in their aspiring ignorance to the time when a decent white woman will esteom it an honor to wed a lazy and besolted black. In the Virginia Convention two remarkable events have just occurred, and nearly at the same time—the recognition of the Deity and the appearance of Ben Butler. The couserva- tives made a call for Henry A. Wise, but he did not appear. The Convention has also just decided two other.matters, both of which have already been settled and clinched by the Union arms—namely, that secession is null and void and that slavery is forever abolished. The opening vapors of the North Carolina Convention begin to arise, but nothing of s tangible shape has yet appeared. The South Carolina Convention, in which the blacks have some ten majority, is laboring which of two evils to choose—a South Carolina ora Massachusetts man for presiding officer. The latter is said to be the blackest. The Georgia Convention is both hungry and desperate. ‘Things are becoming more and more gloomy and intricate in that State. The presence of General Meade does not appear to have smoothed the ruggedness of tho situation or softened the asperitics of party fecling. There is no money either in the State Treasury or in the pockets of the delegates. It is a beg- garly show all around. A call is made to Con- gress to donate the public lands to the negroes in order to test their capabilities of self-gov- ernment. It would be agood way of getting rid of them. The Mississippi Convention is floundering be- tween going on with its business and smashing up altogether. The proceedings thus far are exceedingly farcical; but the negro element predominates, at twenty dollars per day each. We have nothing from the Arkansas Conven- tion, which was to have assembled on the 7th inst, The Florida Convention meets on the 20th. Meanwhile the starving darkies in the inte- rior, ag well asin cities, are awaiting the re- sults of all these efforts to hasten them on the road to civilization ; and, when not engaged in pastimes of a more lively and desperate char- acter, they pass their time in catching catfish and stealing sweet potatoes. They are too lazy to earn even their salt. A Messnge from General Grant. Genera! Grant on Tuesday sent bis first mes; sage to the Congress of the United States, Hitherto there has been a prejudice against Congress receiving messages relating to the adminisiration of the government from any but the President of the United States, Usage, moreover, has given a color of right to this prejudice ; in fact, both usage and prejudice originated in a foolish regard people bad for that old fashioned piece of political furniture, the constitution, But we are growing too great to be controlled by trifles. Congress can make all the laws we want; then why’ care for aconstitution? Congress, moreover, can pass a law to give into the’hands of a man who is not President all the President’s duties ; and thus the people may bo spared the trouble of President making. This would be economy. As Congress actually has such a law pefore it, and as General Grant has already taken upon his shoulders the President’s duties and sends his messages to Congroas, utterly ignoring the President’s existence, it ia clear that there will not much longer be occasion for Mr. Johnson to stay in Washington, He may go to Ten- nessee. What @ parcel of old ninnies the founders of the republic were to bother their heads as they did about making o constitution when a nation can get on so well without one! Have, we not Thad Stevens and Boutwell and Bingham? What fs the use, then, of our listen- ing any longer to Kent and Story and Hamil- ton? Let the people’ burn all that old trash. Narorgoy, Vicron Eaasvet anp tae Pora.— The question as between Italy, France and the Holy ‘See, according to a telegram of yesterday, approaches a@ solution. -In the circumstances in which Italy is placed, with a population though to a large extent one in race yet divided in sym- pathy by long years of divided government, and with an empty exchequer, it has to be ad- mitted that the Italian government, presided over by General Menabrea, is pursuing a wise because patient and cautious policy. The principles at work will, we believe, ultimately give Rome to the Italian people. War with France would be the ruin of, Italy for gene- rations, It will be well, therefore, if an arrangement of a reasonable character in regard to Rome can be patched up between France and Italy. No arrangement, of course, which does not give Rome to the Italians can be permanent ; but a reasonable arrangement, which will stave off war without unnecessary humiliation to the kingdom, will be a positive gain to Italy and to the Italian people. If our telegram of yesterday proves to be correct such an arrangement satisfactorily, progresses. GeneraL Meaps Tizp Ur.—Notwitbstanding the novel mode adopted by General Grant in communicating the fact to Congress, there is much food for reflection in the statement made by General Meade, that “unless the pending bill in Congress directing military commanders to fill the offices in the States under their com- mand rescind the test oath In regard to quali- fied voters, its execution in his (Meade’s) dis- trict will be entirely impracticable.” This is & very important announcement, and convicts the radicals, through the testimony of one of their own instruments, of haste and inconsider- ateness, to use the mildest terms, in framing the reconstruction acts. Here we find the hands of General Meade virtually tied up, and himself, as a conscientious commander, placed in the mortifying position of a military officer without power to enforce a plain provision of the law. This, however, is but one of the ridiculous provisions in the reconstruction acts of Con- gress, and the sooner others are ventilated the sooner will the people become aware of the impracticability and ‘absurdity of the entire Congressional scheme of reconstruction. GENERAL HANDCOCK IN DEFENCE OF CIVIL INSTITUTIONS. [From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.) ‘Wasmnxoron, Jan, 15, 1968. On the 28th ult.

George Francis Train has gone to Europe— we suppose to England, perhaps to Ireland. Who knows? Train is a Fenian, of course. He has been actively associated with that fine propaganda of explosive gas ever since it came before the world as a thing that could command popular attention. We are not sure that he was not the prime enginecr, the origi nator and inventor of the thing, tho first H. C.F. B., the prime C. 0. L R., and all the rest of the alphabet. He is full of real, red-hot love of Irish liberty and votes, and has devoted to the Fenian cause some of the most astonish- ing of his florid sentences. He once bearded the British lion “with one million Irish votes in one hand” and his own Samson-like locks élipping grandly through the flagers of the other. But this was in Boston. Has he now gone to do the same splendid thing in some English or Trish city? Well, we cannot say. We only know that Train has done some big things in his time, He did the Pacific Rail- road, concocted the whole job, cooked it up— surveys, rails, bonds and all; and but for his energy and eloquence the world would hardly have heard of it. Now he has gone to foreign parts, too little appreciated at home, perhaps, because he never was sparing of himself, and nimia familiaritas parit contemptum. Has he gone to give the benefit of his genius for organ- ization to the Fenian cause? Shall we once more hear of the movements of the Fenian army of invasion, and shall Train have another million of Irish votes in Europe as he already has one bere! If he has indeed gone to taxe charge of the Fenian movement he will make that as great # success as he did the Pacific Railroad and the city of Omaha, “haif- way between London and Pekin.” Some might apprehend that this reference to Train's departure would put Joha Bull on his guard.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. , Public Feeling Towards the United States American Relations Towards Russia and Sympathy with Crete—Appreciation of the Foreign Diplomacy of the People of the Re. » bcs Constantinopsz, Jan. 14, 1668. The Levant Herald newspaper publishes an editorial article commenting on certain statements which have appeared lately in journals received from America to the effect that the diplomatic influence of the United States with the government and Cabinet of the Sublime Porte was on the wane—had, in fact, been lowered in this city on account of the Executive and Ministerial intimacy, and general cordiality of feeling which exists to- wards Russia both in Washington and St. Petera- burg. The sympathy expressed by the people of the United Statesfor the Cretans and the insurgent cause in Candia, as embodied in the Congressional resolutions lately presented to the Sultan in favor of an amelioration or change in the administra- tion of rule In the island, is also, the writer states, set forth as « main cause of this altered condition of the actr tone of the relationa of the countries.

E. Joy Morris presented his credentials and commenced to discharge the duties of Minis- ter of the United States at the Court of the Sultan. .
