The death of Andrew Johnson will excite a feeling of universal sorrow. of romantic and extraerdinary career. Only yesterday, and he was preparing to enter upon the canvass in Ohio, to take his part in the democratic movement to retain control of that State. He had just returned to public life after a contest of extreme bitterness, in which he bad been victorious over extraordi- nary obstacles, This return to him was not merely a victory but a vindication, It was the vindication of Tennessee from the charges upon which he had undergons trial as a crimi- nal, lew-disdaining President, Even as men go in our burried life he wasa young man. He at least might well have hoped to have served one or perhaps two terms as Senator, and to have taken part in the canvass against Grant and Grantism, which we can well believe to have been the darling sim of his li'e. tiring from the Presidency 1x yearsago, amid the execrations of the party to whom he owed the office, and the scarcely concealed contempt of the democrats, who did not deem him, in their conventions, he returned to the Senate amid general respect and esteem. He was believed to have earned the honor. The democrats felt that he was entitled to this tardy vindication; the republicans rejoiced in the opportunity of meeting a foeman worthy of their stecl. In a time of suspicion and corruption Andrew Johnson was known to be Upon his character even slander could leave no stain, He was wel- comed as a bold and manly statesman who believed he was right, and thus believing dared all opprobrium; as one who inherited the traits of Andrew Jackson, and who, if he had possessed the tact as well as the fortitude of his great prototype, might have made as deep an impression upon the country. Even as it is, he will be remembered with the Jack- sons of our history—a narrow, honest, brave, unyielding and persistent leader, who never allowed party allegiance to become party slavery, and who was governed by no ambi- tion but that of serving his country with sin- cerity and courage. In the famous speech of Mr. Evarts, de- fending Mr. Johnson from the charges of im- peachment, he pictured him as one who wor- shipped the constitution with Oriental devo- tion. To his devout mind the adoration of the constitution was a morning and evening duty. Once that he had clearly embarked upon the policy of vpposition to the wishes of the ruling party, and taught himself to be- lieve that the support of the republican policy | of reconstruction would be a violation of the sacred principles underlying our government, he, with the obstinacy characteristic of his Scotch-Irish nature, pursued his policy to the end, caring for no consequences to him- The result was the stormiest political controversy ever known in our history. The President challenged the republicans in the flush and magnitude of their power. He had every inducement to remain true to their discipline. There is little doubt that if he had carried out the policy of anger and suppression with which he began his administration he would have remained at the head of the party, and, with the advantage to be gained from the patron- age of his Presidential office, secured his re- nomination and his continued occupation of the Presidency. So far as political ambition could govern the actions of a President there was no apparent motive for his strenuous and unusual course. He could hope for nothing from the South, A Southern man by birth, education and feeling, a sup- porter of Breckinridge, im company with Davis and Hunter and the rebel leuders, he was regarded with peculiar batred by them. Accordingly, therefore, any over- tures that he chose to make to the Southern leaders would only meet with disdain. The result proved the bitterness of the feeling entertained by them, for after Johnson had brought himselt to the verge of impeachment in their support he was dismissed from the democratic convention with scarcely a cour- teous, complimentary vote. We can only account for Mr. Johnson's course preceding the impeachment trial upon the theory that his love for the constitution had become a fanaticism, and that he would support it to the end whatever the end might be, After the failure of impeachment bis Presidency was little more thana name. He democrats only affected to support him for the sake of patronage and party discipline. This spectacle of an Executive and a legisla- tive body in direct and bitter antagonism was for the first time seen in our government, and the effects have not yet passed away. Although the President saved himself from impeach- ment by the smallest possible chance the re- sult of the effort to remove him wasa violent wrench in all our constitutional relations. ‘The harmonious division of power between an Executive and legislative and judicial de- partment was disturbed; the Presidency was shorn of many of its prerogatives, and at the same time was strengthened in others not in- tended by the founders of the constitution. The Senate gained unusual strength, and from being an advisory, or, to speak more accuretely, tory branch of the government, be- came an oligarchy, with executive and legislative powers which it still retains, The judiciary, heretofore removed from the temptations and opprobrium of politics, The Chief Justice of the United States was openly charged with partisan affiliation with the accused President. In his decisions as presiding officer of the: court of impeach- ment he was treated as partisan and not as a judge. The sacred and almost infallible character of his office became stained, parti- sans lost their respect for the Supreme Bench, and the country suffered from the suspension of necessary business in Congress, the awakening of the rebel spirit in the South, the unseemly aggregation of power im the diciary and the intense bitterness of party strife that swept over the country like a tempest. It was in truth a tempest, and, although President Johnson was not de- stroyed, to the end of his administration he lay stricken and useless in the White House, It was truly a tempest, and from its effects he had lived and could have done the full measure of his work as Senator he would not decided, have beon the Androw Johnson of old. It is the close | Re- | with all of his services, as worthy of mention | was at the mercy of the republican party; the | an advisory moni- | found itself dragged into the unseemly strifc, | Senate, the scandal that fell upon the ju- | NEW YUKK HERALD, SUNDAY AUGUST |, He was a curiosity rather than a leader. | People looked at his return to the Senaio very much as the expectant | thousands at a Seville bull fight look for the coming into the arena of the mighty and fearless beast who is to die for their | sport, but who, before dying, may gore one or | two of his antagonists. A fame of this kind may excite sympathy, but not that admiration which we give to our leaders, which we gave | to Andrew Johnson when he raised the Union | flag of Tennessee. We may question whether | it was worth while living for the career that | | awaited bim and whether death even now | does not come as. blessing to the fame of | Andrew Johnson, ‘Che country had gone be- yond him. The issues which demand consideration and settlement are far re- ‘moved from those which surrounded his administration.

He generation. Lincoln, Douglas, Breckinridge, Sumner, Seward, Cass, Stanton, Bell, Ever- ett—all, all are gone. With them departed the compeers of his active career, the men with whom it was his glory to bear his armor in the past, and without whom he would have led a lonely and unappreciated life in the Senate. Andrew Johnson will be remembered not only as an honest and a brave man, but as one whose life is full of comfort to the lowly and aspiring. His personal career is one of tho noblest in our history, for it is the career of one who rose from the lowliest beginnings to thefirst station in the Republic ; who never feared a responsibility in the performance of duty ; who stood by the Union in its darkest hours, and, when his voice was more power- ful than an army, never faltered in that devotion. That was his creed. In it he hved and died, leaving behind him a name which, no matter what criticism may say, his coun- trymen will not soon let die. The Poltece. Certainly the worst histery that has come out in the police investigation, apart from the Nathan story—the worst chronicle of the ordinary and regular villany of the police—is the recital of his adventures by Mr. Sullivan, the dry goods merchant, of Duane street, who was robbed in January, 1873. In the light of true character—seen in pursuit of the one purpose that all their action or inaction, | speech or silence, turns upon. They are seen not.as the defenders of the public against the rogues, not exactly as the defenders of the rogues against the public, but as the culti- vators of crime and shurers in its proceeds, and as protecting the rogues just enough to insure the regular return of their subsidies, terror and subjection. the money and property stolen in this city in the course of every year; but, whatever the value may be, that aggregate of plunder is the fact in which the police take the greatest interest. They are not anxious to decrease the total value; they want to get hold of the plunder. ‘They do not care to punish the thieves, unless they are followed so ciosely by some plundered citizen that they cannot help it, or unless the thieves are refractory and it becomes necessary to discipline them. They do not mean by their vigilance in the protec- tion of property or by their vigor when the rogues are traced to dishearten and discourage the practice in this city of burglary, pocket picking, murder or any pursuits of that sort; for this would be to reduce their own incomes; to shut up the Big Bonanzas, out of which | captains, inspectors, dectectives and even common patroimen make money. Let 1t not be for a moment fancied, there- fore, that our police means now or ever meant to prevent crime or to protect the people. It | means and always has meant to utilize the crimes committed here as a source of wealth, and to treat the products of theft of all sorts | just as Tweed and company treated the pro- duct of taxation—to make the return as heavy as possible and pocket it, That is what our | police is for. And what is the remedy? Just now o legislative inquiry brings out in | separate recitals the stories the papers have told for years; but we doubt if the day for cleaning out the Mulberry street slough is yet come. The Ohio Canvass, We print elsewhere, almost entire, the two most important speeches so far made in the Ohio canvass. Both were mado yesterday, the one by General Rutherford B, Hayes, the republican candidate for Governor, the other by Senator Allen G. Thurman. We recom- mend these speeches to the perusal of those | who take an interest in the political questions | of the day. Weshall recur to them again, | and say about them now only this—that their | main interest for citizens, outside of Ohio, consists in this, that the two speakers, each | the conspicuous leader of his party in Obio, both declare themselves in favor of an honest currency, and against inflation. General Hayes speaks not only for himself on this, the most important issue ot the day, | but for his party, and in accordance with that party's platform, Senator Thurman speaks against the democratic platform and in oppo- | sition to the candidates named on it, but for | the hard money democrats of Ohio; and he | | evidently means to put down the inflation’! element in his party and cause honest and sound councils to rule init. We wish him success in the effort, and that he may be able to deteat the machinations of Allen and Pen- | | dleton, looking to the attitude of bis party next year, | BSamatoca Races.—The present meeting is | the most brilliant ever kiown in Americn, being Countess, Mate and Cariboo, Tho events were warmly ovptested and the time | was very fast and national harmony are the aims of all | constitution, his flag and his griefs, would | passes away, almost the last of his political | that disclosure the police are seen in their | and as protecting property and the people just enough to keep fhe’ rogues in salutary It would be difficult without the assistance | of the police to compute the whole value of A Christian Address. General Clinton B, Fisk, President of the Board of Indian Commissioners, has been per- suaded to address the ‘Christian public” upon the condition of affairs in the Indian country, and they ask ‘‘careful and prayerful at- tention” to their statements. They inform us, in the first place, that the policy of the Indian Commissioners is “eminently humane and Christian,” and that not only every member of the Board, but nearly all of the eighty thousand agents, have,been appointed on the recommendation of religious bodies. They tell | us that their policy has been successful; that the Indians ‘are taking on the dress, man- ; ners, habits and occupationsof civilized life.” | As to the charges against certain agents and | storekeepers, they are simply “loud-mouthed | accusations,"’ unworthy of attention, General | Fisk and his friends have not learned of the existence of any ring in connection with the | Indian service, although they wisely remark | that‘‘where there is a carcass the vultures will gather.” They inform the Christian pub- lic “that much of the present clamor is raised | and promoted by bad men,” and they wind up by again affirming that tho Indian service ‘nas been and still is vircually within the supervision and control of the religious bodies of the country.” We have perfect respect for | General Fisk and the gentlemen who form the Board of Indian Commissioners, al- | though we must confess that this evangelical rhetoric savors strongly of cant, It is no an- ewer to the charges that have been made against the Indian Department to say that the agents and the Board of Commissioners are members of religious denommnations. When men wear their religion upon their sleeve as an evidence of character they are always open to suspicion, and the ‘Christian public” will be apt toask, not for professions of faith on the part of the General and his friends, but for an explanation of the extraordinary facts that have been laid before the public in the last few weeks. There can be nothing more disingenuous than the attempt to dismiss these revelations as ‘doud-mouthed accusa- tions.” Let us seo what these accusations are. It is charged that in the management of affairs in the Sioux country Indians have been so badly treated, so thoroughly robbed, that they have been compelled to eat their dogs and ponies to save themselves from starva- tion. It has been shown that the government has paid large sums of money for the support of many Indians who existed only on paper. It has been demonstrated beyond question that, instead of issuing fat and useful cattle to the tribes, they have been giving poor, scraggy, worthless beasts, which have been charged to | the government as in good condition. It has | been shown that the tobacco was rotten, the | corn and flour and pork unfit for hnu- {man food. It has been shown that the men who perpetrated those frauds | upon the Indiaus and who are rich to- | day because of their successful perpe- | tration are protected by the Department of | the Interior, and it is not denied that chief | among the men who are prospering out of the | Indian’s misfortunes is Orville Grant, the | brother of the Prasident of the United States. The evidence from which these charges are made is to be found in reports of Congress, in letters written by army officers, in reports of the old Indian Commissioners composed of men like Felix R. Brunot and William Welsh, who are entitled to as much respect for Christian probity as Gen- eral Fisk and his colleagues; in letters written by trustworthy correspondents of the Hznaxp, andin an elaborate statement by Protessor Marsh, of Yale College; and when General Fisk and his friends deny their knowledge of the existence of any ring or combination they are met by Mr. McVey, of Pennsylvania, who, in declining to be appointed an Indian Com- missioner, calls the attention of the people to the fact that, while the President himself has always sought to do the Indians justice, Con- gress, under the influence of this Ring, bas thwarted him. Now, to not one of these facta does General Fisk address himself. The country calls upon him to answer the charges of fraud made against the subordinates of his department and to explain why the Indians should be starving while the contractors are getting rich, and the General simply responds that he is a dutiful follower of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and that the Indian ser- vice, asa whole and in detail, is controlled by “the religious bodies of the country.” The persistence with which the friends of the Indian Ring address the country and the energy they show in endeavoring to protect themselves from the fact of these accusations are only evidences of the power of this com- bination. The President knows the Indian problem well. He knows, also, how much truth and how much falsehood there would naturally be in the accusations made against the service. His first mistake in the Indian policy was when he surrendered the old Board of Commissioners to the demands of Delano, ‘That was the end of the humane policy. His second mistake was when he allowed his brother to become a trader in the Indian region, for the country said, when the old Board was dissolved, that a Obristian policy which could not be carried through by Felix R. Bronot and William Weish could have very | little life in it. They say now that unless the President rises above the cant of his Board of Commissioners and the villanous influence of the Ring which contro!s them, as well as the Department of the Interior, he profers the interest of his brother, who is now making money out of starving squaws, to the in- terest of the people and of the Indians who are our sacred wards. Mrstatvnz Yacutine has beeome quite a favorite sport on the Prospect Park lake in Brooklyn. In another colurnn will be found | s graphic description of yesterday’ s races, A Goop Inua.—A “another of seven chil- | dren”—the very statement entitles the lady to consideration as useful member of society—suggests in » letter to the Hzrarp | that one of the many docks or piers extend- | ing far out into the river betweon Spring and | Christopker streets, or even further up, be nicely planked and fenced in with a neat wire | fence, supplied with # sufficient number of | seats and sheltered by a roof, so as to enable | the poorer classes, with their children, to sit | there and enjoy the cool and healthfal river breeze. The idea isa good one. The dock Andrew Johnson never recovered, Even if | There were three races yesterday, the winners | would prove a desirable auxiliary to the free excursions and would cost nothing. Will the Board of Aldermen take the suggestion into | aonvideratton ? 1875.—TRIPLE SHEET, Juice of the Religious Press The thought of our religious exchanges this week is not concontrated on any partic- ular theme more than another, but is seat- tered over a variety of topics. The Christian Union exposes the fallacy of the defence set up by the Indian Bureau’s friends that as the government has intrusted the menagoment of Indian affairs to the churches it must be, therefore, in honest hands; but if it is not then the churches not the government are to blame, But the Union insists that these agents are in every respect government offi- cials, appointed and paid by it, and to whom it sends supplies, and from whom it requires reporis and ac- counts. It is, therefore, absurd to hold the churches responsible simply because a few doctors of divinity may have signed their names to the recommendations of such dis- honest agents. It is a signal opportunity, the Union thinks, to the churches to show what the nation’s Christianity is good fer, and they ought to select their ablest, wisest and most devoted men for this service. Somewhat on the same tack the Catholic Review takes up this subject and declares that gentlemen have been nominated to agencies in the Grand River country who have been rejected again and again by the Indian Bureau, though they were known from positive knowledge to be fit, experienced and reliable men and Catholics. The Review indorses the Henatp’s exposures and hopes the latter will continue its good work, for what the religious press cannot do is easy of accomplishment to the secular. The Christian at Work thinks that certificates of good character after Professor Marsh's ex- posures are of little avail for Secretary De- lano or Commissioner Smith, and if the Professor's charges are substantiated the President should send these gentlemen into private life. Their case looks bad, very bad, and their particular line of defence does not tend to improve it. The Jewish Messenger returns to its dis- cussion of the need of an ecclesiastical leader, no shepherd such as Moses required, no supervising authority to whom may be left matters which require solution, with the feel- ing that its decision will be respected, for it will be according to Jewish law. With Israel- ites every rabbi and every congrogation is a law unto themselves, and there is necessatily & conflict of opinion upon disputed points. The Messenger calls upon its people to appoint judicious men to act in the capacity indicated, that its church need not rush to civil courts every time they haves dispute among them- selves. The Hebrew Leader discusses certain aspects of Sunday observance. Ii insists that such observance by public worship is clearly not of divine obligation, but is ai the option of the individual. The Leader thinks the cleri- cal merry -andrews are to blame for the people's neglect of the churches. Church and State in- dulges in a little pleasantry on the establish- ment of a monarchy in this country instead of a third term Presidency. It would have an unlimited monarchy or nothing—a power to strike terror into the hearts of the lawless and unterrified. It has no doubt that there are people among us who would be glad to play the parts of lords and ladies and that a genuine monarch would find no lack of trum- peters and boot blacks. Of course we could easily import a prince, but it is always desira- able to have a king as native and home-born as possible. This facetious editor thinks the present is a good time to discuss this question, so that the monarch can be inaovurated with becoming pomp and ceremony at the close of our centenary year. ree Baths and the Pubiic Health, The tree baths of the city are doing much good this summer, and have, no. doubt, been instrumental in placing a check upon the large mortality, Bathing is animportant pre- servative of health, and the limited accommo- dation afforded by the baths has been taxed to its utmost since the warm, weather set in. Alarge number of persons, especially boys and girls between the ages of ‘cn and eigh- teen, who are constant attendants at the baths, prove the value of such institutions by the fact that they have preserved their health daring the heated term, and are as ruddy and vigorous as if they had passed the summer in the country. The only trouble is that we do not have enough of baths fora city like New York. The river fronts enablo us to supply the entire population with bathing houses, in localities available to the people, all the way frum the Battery to the Harlem River, on both sides of the city ; and it would be a wise policy to appropriate such an amount of money for the purpose as would erable us to take advantage of this privilege. Hitherto we have been stupidly parsimonious in our ap- propriations in this direction. Money spent to preserve the public health is always well spent. It economizes the public expendi- tures on sickness and pauperism, and gives us ® healthful and vigorous laboring population. If we supplied the people with five times our present number of free Laths wo should de- rive a profit from the investment. There is another viow in which free baths or cheap baths are desirable. They induce the young to learn the art of swimming, and this not only helps to preserve life, but fos- ters a disposition to use the bath in after life. Men and women who can swim and feel con- fidence in themselves in the water will always be bathers. At the Eleventh street and North River baths this season a large number of ladies and young girls have beeu turned out 4s proficients in swimming, and the accom- plishment is ono that will remain their own during their lives. There is no foretelling, indeed, at what moment it may become in- | stramental in saving their lives. The classos for working girls are especially commendable, and the large attendance proves that thoir value is appreciated. It is to be hoped that | next year we shall have a more liberal supply | of free baths, and that no person who has the chance of learning how to swim will neglect the oppoMunity. Tuarery Franxcr.—In tho first half of this year France imported goods to the value of $342,200,000, and exported to the value of $385,500,000, so that she sold oniy $43,300,000 in excess of what she bought, and, though this is nota large sum, it is always on the right side of the books. Butshsimported only $45,000,000 worth of manufactured articles | and exported $212,800,000, and the manufac. tured articles she exported paid for all the natural product#and raw material sho bought. Tm other words, her industry paid for ® areat | Lippo-Det» portion of the material it wrought in, and purchased in addition all the foreign pro- ducts required:in excess of native products to feed the people. Pulpit Topies To-Day. All of our city churches, fortunately, have not closed for the summer. A few are still open and their pastors will to-day minister as usual to the congregations that gather within them. One building, however, which it was intended should be kept open, as it has been ever since it was founded as the Church of the Strangers, will be closed after to-day. Not, however, that pastor or people may en- joy themselves in tho country or by the soa- side, but that improvements may be made ir lighting, heating and ventilating the build- ing, avd that it may be thoroughly painted and upholstered and put in perfect repair. But betore its doors are closed Dr. Deems will have somothing to say about an honest scep- tic and about tho lost opportunity which so many honest sceptics as well as others who are not sceptical have to mourn at the last. Mr. Saunders will prick the bubble of the instantaneous per- fectionists in his treatment of the growth in grace, and Dr. Porteous will utter his profound thoughts on the lack of soul re- liance in religious matters manifested by Christian people as wellas by others. Mr. Taylor will tcll what he knows about a king who went inio bad company and how soiled he was when be came out—if he ever did. Mr. Lightbourn will show that Christ and the believer are inseparable and that there may be such a prodigy as on uncorrupted public man. We do not suppose he willset up any of otr. local politicians or Congressmen as samples. They would herdly be fit to be in Mrs. Hana- ford’s one fold and under the supervision of her one Shepherd. Mr. Inskip wiil give his views, so often expressed, on the higher life, at Sea Cliff, and Mr. Loutrel will give us the conclu- sion of the whole matter, so that we shall have no need to be troubled in mind or be lightly moved from the {sith after we have heard his discourse.
