To us, the narrative is rather an old story—showing that the President is fixed in his policy—and that his enmity to the principles upon which he was elected and the men who elected him is s intense asever. Among other things ho states that he does not intend to run for President in 1868. It has not been usual for Presidents to communicate the de- tails of their policy to the correspondents of foreign papers, but Mr. Johnson does not seem to be controlled by custom. The Times states: “We do not know whether our sensitive cousins would like to have this regarded as an appesl to the public opinion of the world. aud to the one ‘flesh and blood" of all nations aud Queenstown May 4, arrived t this port yesterday, bring- | roalms, but we are assured that the President gave full permission that the details of this remarkablo confer- ence should be made public.” THE MORAL OF MUR ‘The Evening Post is conducted with so much ability, and is & journal of influence so considerably in excess of many other journals of equal circulation, that we deeply regret to sec it take a single fulse step with regard to the mears wheroby and the conditions whereon the States lately in revolt are to be restored | to their former and natural relations to the loyal States and the Union. We therefore copy as well as comment on the essential portions of its leading article of Saturday, and (as they involve misappre- hensions of our views) will thank that jourual to deal | likewise with our reply. The Post says: | *The other day, there was & riot at Memphis, in whick & number of ruflians and desperadoes set upon sowe eolored men and butchered them, wmuch after the same style in which colored men were killed in New-York in July, 1%63.

'3 “Wo think it unfair, when such an ontrage a8 this Memphis riot 0curs, to speak of it as though it were 'y another proof of the unfitness of the Southern people to | take part in the Government, and of their inveterate hostility to justice, liberty and union. This kind of argament and iu- sinuation is of & piece with the petty spirit which finds fault with Southern men for honoring their dead. The Richmond Enquirer chose to assume mourning on the auniversary of Stonewall Jackson's death, and urged its readers to scatter flowers over the graves of Confederate soldiors. This a mnrnlnf journal calls *Richmond loyalt We think it would be wiser and kinder to pass such things by without re- maik. ‘They are not fit causes rur quarrel or reproach.

I. We beg The Post to cease speaking of that por-, tion of the Southern Whites who honor the memory of Stonewall Jackson and strew flowers over the graves of the Rebel dead as *the Southern people.” Such abuse of terms is false, misleading, pernicious. Those | persons are a part of the Southern people—a very large and influential part—but they are not the whole. There are this day over Three Millions of Blacks and we think Two Millions of Whites in the States lately in revolt who never were Rebels—who hated and (so far as they could or dare) resisted the Rebellion—and | heartily rejoice in its overthrow. For a Unionist to | speak of their and our antagonists in the late struggle as * the Southern people” is alike unjust, injurions and ungrateful. 11 We entirely agree with The Post that the spirit which impelled the late butchery of Blacks and burn- | ing of their churches, school-houses and homes in | Memphis is precisely that which burned the Colored Orphan Asylum and bunted negroes to death or to | death's door in our City. We have no doubt that the | better portion of even the late Rebels of the South | hate its grosser manifestations as condemn and re | heartily as the better class of Democrats bave con- | | demned the Draft Riots of July, 1563, Aud now The | Post must agree with us that this tepid deprecation— whetherin New York or in Memphis— affords no secur ity or protection to the Blacks, aud can hardly be ex | pected to satisfy those who must live in constais | dread of bei their homes for the crime of being of such color as it pleased God to g/ve | them. The good Rebels may be very sorry for/the outrages on negroes which are constautly occwTing | around —but their sorrow does not take » posi tive shape, aud is of very little practical accoupt. IIL. The Post deems it the vital matter that those whom it miscalls ** the Southiern people sljall obey the laws, respect our rights, and those of wll men of | whatever color.” All that is indeed importayt; yet we | consider it even more vital to show that we respect | those rights. How can this appear, if we Consent to s reconstruction which places the loyal Blucks (and the loyal Whites as well) under the feet of the late Rebels, who are every day indicating the natuye of their loy- alty by canonizing Stonewall Jackson, toasting Jeff. | Davis, dining Raphael Semmes, and choosing Rebel Generals like Withers and Hays to thy most important and lucrative offices 7 It is owr minglid imbecility and treason, not theirs, that we are deprecating. We honor the Rebels' persistent deveiion to their bad, ruined cause; we cannot honor the baseness that would impel a loyal Congress to/ put the sharers in our struggle and our triumph under the feet of those we and they defeated and overtirew. 1V. Our New-York Riots werf: & direct and natural result of our Negro Disfranchisement. * Hit him again! he's got no friends,” fis & natural impulse of debased Human Nature. The Irish are not s whit more popular with the ngn-Irish here than the Blacks are; but the Irish have votes, and this fact shields them from outrage ind flagrant wrong. A shrewd observer once declfired that ‘‘Ifthe Blacks all voted, our managing Dymocratic politicians would goon be claiming that they had negro blood in their veins.” Power protects ifself. V. The Post excuses the Memphis and kindred outrages, on the plea that their authors *“have been educated to believe that & ‘nigger’ has no rights.” That seems to us an excellent reason why we should teach them better, and improve the present oppor- tunity to do so. Let us show them that we believe in Equal Rights—that we mean to live and die in that faith—and we may hope to improve their mistaken conceptions. But if we consent to & reconstruction which makes two of them equal to three of us, while leaving the Blacks utterly at their mercy, how shall we rationally expect them to become wiser on this head? VI. The Post thinks the Memphis and kindred outrages cannot-be * twisted into an argument for dis- franchising the mass of the Southern people.” So we think. What we desire is the disfranchizement of none, but the enfranchisement of all. 'We would not diminish, we would largely increase, the representa- tion in Congress of the States lately in revolt. When- ever they are ready to meet us on the basis of All Rights for All, we are ready to urge their instant ad- mission to seats in Congress and the removal of all disabilities growing out of the Rebellion. Let but the Southern Rebels consent that the loyalists of the South ghall have Equal Rights with themselves, and we will insist on their instant restoration to all the rights and privileges of American citizenship, representa- tion in Congress included. But, s0 long as they re- sist and spurn this, we must consider them still in the gall of bitternoss—still fighting essentially for the bad cause which our Wadsworths and McPhersons gave their lives to defeat. To that cause (Botits champions) we must oppose & determined resistance. hounded from Gen. Antonio Lopes de Santa Anna, ex-ruler of Mexico, now honors our City with his presence—ar- riving just after James Stepheus, President (in pros- fividual deposits was_ouly NEW.YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MAY 14, 1864. pect) of the Republic of Ireland. Santa Anna is anti- Max, and has his face turned toward the Empire of Montezuma and the Republic of Juares. S — GERMANY AND ITALY. “The latest advices from Germany and Italy are of a decidedly warlike character. The people of Italy avow their wish for a war, and endeavor to push their Government forward into @ warlike attitude. The Government, like that of Prussia, represents the arma- ment of Austria as the primary cause for their mili- tary preparation; but such a charge finds few believ- ers both ont of and within Italy. Austria is so weak in consequence of the disordered state of her finances and the conflict of the several nationalities, that no states- man of sound mind would dare to propose any aggres- sive movement; and against no power less than against Italy, whose present territory has been guaranteed by France. The Italian people, at all events, care little whether Austrig has been arming first or not. They hold en- thusiastic war meetifigs, and the Parliament has unan- imously (against one vote in the Senate) resolved “that at this momentous crisis every preparation should be made for war.” On this point the Govern- ment party are in entire accord with the democratic «Party of Action,” and the design is hardly con- cealed to precipitate a conflict as much as possible. The direct negotiations betwoen Austria and Prussia continued without producing an understanding. Aus- tris had once more demanded in a diplomatic note the disarmament of Prussia, and the latter power had once more denied tho demand. The bad feeling whicli overy failure to agree must, of necessity, engender, has been strengthened by the adherence of Austria to the demand of nine of the minor States which re- cently held a special conference at Augsburg, and re- solved that the Schleswig-Holstein question ought first to be solved by the recognition of the Prince of Augustenburg. Prussia has promptly replied to the jonna Cabinet, that she does not agree to the Aus- trian proposal in reference to the question of the Duchies. The consent by Austria to a platform agreed upon at & Conference of the minor States, is one of soveral facts which indicate that the relations of those States to Av tria are becoming more friendly, and toward Prussia more unfriendly. Prussia has demanded of Saxony and Bavaria to disarm, but both States have refused to comply with this demand. — INTERESTING INFORMATION. The United States Bauk Examiner, appointed by the Controller of the Curreney on the common principle of locking the stable-door after the horse is stolen, has made a report upon the recent failure of the Mer- chants’ National Bank of Washington. The cause of the failure was the suspension of Bayne & Co. of Bal- timore—Bayne & Co. having got deeply into specula- tions, and so on. The circulation of the bank is fully assured, so that bill-holders will lose nothing, which is & comfort. The United States Government, how- ever, is the creditor of the bank for $702,312 37, the most of the money coming from officers of the Pay Department. Lient.-Colonel Paulding alone deposit- ed over half a million. To meet this deficiency the s secnrities of the bavk to the amount Government hold of £100,000. There can be little objection to any officer of the Government depositing money in duly authorized banks. Some of these deposits, however, were made by Government agents for the purpose of *saving” the bauk. The Examiner mentions that at a meeting of cortain friends of the bank it was stated that unless Bagne & Co. * could secure from $150,000 to 000, without delay, they must fail, and that this fail- would involye the failure of the bauk.” At this meeting, held April 20, Liout.-Col. E. E. Paulding, Parmaster, U. 8. A., was present. He proceeded next lay to place £200,000 in the bank, two other officers of the Pay Department adding 13,000 more. When the failure came, it was fonnd that Col. Paulding bad S0, 76 in the bank, the others having drawn out the best portion of their deposits, The amount of in- 610 =0; of loans, was due to other banks and £115,000; whi bankers only § ‘o make this plain lod as particularly *safe” by the people, nor ) by the other banks (as we may see from the sl amount of deposits and credits), permitted, upon 4 ¢, ital of R306,000, to issue $180,000 in notes, and receive $762, 7 from the Government in de- posits. The Treasury Department, or rather the Controller of the Currency, permits 8 bank to run over $600,000 in debt to the Government, when the least inquiry would haye shown that this debt was being incurred to help the house of ** Bayne & Cc in Baltimore, which house alone had $714,000 of the money of the bank, or rather the money of the United States, obtained throngh the bank, and gone, Heaveu knows where! The whole thing looks bad—very bad—and reflects sadly upon certain Government officers. Lieut.-Col. Paulding will, we fear, find it embarrassing to ex- plain bis half-million—gone to * Bayne & Co.,"” de- posited to help ** Bayne & Co.,” for whom belp was hopeless. The Controller of the Currency wight, be amiably asked whether it is customary to seqd Bauk- Examiners only to moribund bauks, and whether an institution having but $35,610 59 of ordinary business doposits—showing what business-men think of the concern—is to have the best part of & million from Un- cle Sam—to fly the kites of certain ** Bayne & Co.’s.” Other officers of the Government in the Indian De- partment, the Treasury Department, the Post-Office Department and the Pay Department, might be asked whether they do not find accomodation enough in the Treasury for their funds without getting into the affairs of ** Bayne & Co.’'s.” Altogether, thore is a fine field for painfully interesting inquiry. e AN ATTACK ON THE FREEDMEN'S BU- REAU. Major-Gen. J. B. Steedman and Brig.-Gen. J. 8. Fullerton were lately sent South by the President to inspect and report on the Freedmen's Bureau. We 1o not remember to have heard of the former of these officers in conmection with the Freedmen, but Gen. Fallerton is well known as the person who succeeded Mr. Conway in the Commissionership of Louisiana. During bis brief administration in that State, he won the regard of the New-Orleans Rebels to such au ex- tent that he was offered & dinner on his departure. In his hands, the Burean was managed on the concilia- tion theory; very much to the satisfaction of the planters, but perhaps not greatly to the benefit of the Freedmen. The Generals have completed their tour of Virginia and North Caroling. ‘The public may as well under- stand at the outset that, according to their report, the Freedmen's Bureau, which has been supposed to be conducted with fair ability, honesty and zeal, is man- aged in at lenst one State by a gang of swindlers and pickpockets. This statement applies more particularly to North Carolina, but even in Virginia tho inspectors aro o il satisfied with its operations that they recommend that the duties of the Bureau should be turned over to the officers commanding troops in the department. Wherever the Bureau has, in the opinion of the In- spector-Generals, been useful, it has been so by “‘acting in harmony with the civil officers of the State.” Elsewhere difficulty has arisen from the ** ar- bitrary, unnecessary, and offensive interference of the agents of the Bureau with the relations between the planters and their hired freedmen,” which creates *'u growing prejudice against the Government among the planters.” It is easy to see by comparing the two statements that the theory of the Buroau which Gen. Fullerton put in practice in Louisiana still occupies his mind, To hiw the Bureau is & machine . wao find & bank, certainly not | i against the Government during the last four years, And the inspectors declare explicitly that the present Virginia code “ renders the freedmen, in our opinion, perfectly secure, if left to the care of the law and the protection of the troops.” OF course, it makes no difforence, in their opiion, whether the Bureau be well or ill conducted. Tn either case it is a nuisance or a superfluity. The burden of the complaint against the North Carolina officers, is that they are working plantations on their own account. Gen. Fullerton states—and we have no doubt of the fact—that among the North Carolinians there is a universal desire forthe removal of the Bureau; which desire he attributes to the “‘mis- conduct” of the officers of the Bureauin *working plantations, running saw-mills, manufacturing tur- pentine, tar, &c.—operations which bring them armed with suthority of their official positions, into com- petition with the citizens who are employing freedmen."” Under this indictment, G Steedman and Fullerton bring to the bar a long array of aceused officials, among whom are Col. Whittlesey, t' - chief Commissioner of the Burcau for North Carolina; Capt. F. A. Secley, Capt. Rosekranz, the Rev. Mr. Fitz, the Rev. Horace James, Capt. Wheeler, Chaplain Glavis, Major J. C. Mann, Major Wickersham and others, who are employed as super- intendents or sub-agents of the Burean. Col. Whit- tlesey is charged with being interested in the cultivation of a large farm, with attempting to conceal his interest, with giving low wages and making the most stringent labor mgulnfions to the groat detriment of the freedmen, and inci- dentally with smothering an inveatigation into the alleged murder of o negro by his partner, the Rov. Tgrace James, or by his clerk Boyden. The others are all, we believe, accused of being connected with plantations, and with many subsidiary offenses, in- cluding prevarication about the facts, cheating the negroes, stealing four barrels of pork, exchanging white sugar for brown, and (inferentially) pocketing the difference, cruelly treating the freedmen and sub- jecting them to exorbitant taxes for support of the Bureau, selling Government property for their own use, &e., &e. 1t is not our business to enter on a defense of any of these officers. If any of them have been guilty of offenses, we are most desirous they should be tried and punished. The good will we bear to the Burean makes us solicitous that whoever of 1its officers abuses his trust should be exposed and removed, But we print herewith a letter from Gen. Howard, which will have some influence on the public judgment in these matters, It is written not in reply to the official report of Gens. Steedman and Fullerton— which Gen. Howard had not seen—but in reply to their unoficial report by the pen of a correspondent of The New-York Herald published last week. In regard to the general charge that his agents are work- ing plantations, Gen. Howard does not deny that they are, but entirely approves their action in so0 doing. He does not believe there has been any speculation, or prostitution of official position for private gain, He “‘urged the renting and running of plantations to afford practical examples, and to encourage joint companies,” Gen. Howard, there- fore, and not his subordinates, is responsible for what Gens. Steedman and Fullerton assume to describe as “ misconduct” in this respect. As to the rest of the charges, Gen. Howard says emphatically: **Ihave not yet the facts as to North Carolina, but you and your friends may rest assured | that every shadow of accusation of complicity in crime on the part of those officers there, is utterly He adds: without foundation. T axpect denunciation of this Bureau, but the samo denun- tion could be made against the Treasury Department, ot y other department, and of the Government, with equal w of justice. ‘The Bureau does not do enough to secure the of the nogro, I will admit; but it does not burn segro hes and school-houses; it does not reject negro t revent starvation until the ne: erop comes in. It will always keep its legitimate objec Clearly tu view of promoting industry, education and justice. Gens. Steedman and Fullerton spent parts of ten days in investigating the operations of the Bureau throughout the State of North Caroliua. Whether they or Gen. Howard are more likely to be well in- formed of the character of its officers and the manage- ment of its affairs, the public can judge. 18 ehure! mony.

Our country lads outstrip those of older lands in ambition and euterprise, and more early set their marts where success can be fuces toward the gre; most largely gained, if gained at all, They come, fresh from the dewy influences of home, to stake their youth, faith, and purity against wealth, fame, or power.

The young wen now overcrowding this metropolis are, in the future, to sustain or surrender the foremost position she now commands. Let our mercantile and social leaders consider whether, in their indifference to the welfare of this class, they are not sowing the wind for 8 whirlwind of profligacy and dishonor. I this be o, their sin of omission transcends & host of minor, positive offenses. We are impressed with the statistic By the census of 1260, our male population, between the ages of 15 and 30, amounted to 111,091, Esti- mating its increase during and since the war, there are now among us at least 150,000 young men—an active portion of the laborions, excitable life of this gweat unmindful city, Two-thirds are without resi- dent friende or kindred, striving to conguer a foothold —and how hard the contest! What daily widening gaps between those who bave succeeded and those just entering the field ! Neither the religion nor the of this subject. Look &t enough to include their emplo; growth of aristocracy and exclusiveness; the whirl of folly, luxury and fashion; the enormous cost of sub, sistence; the meager salaries in vogue; and see what chance of comfort or sympathetic ease the town has to profler her 100,000 clerks, apprentices and students Herded together in the beds and attics of boarding- houses, shut out from the happy homes established by long residence and success, they are almost driven to the publie saloon for light and warmth, and for that friendly companionship which, either for good or evil, fouth instinctively craves and will obtain. The employers are surrounded with all the appurte- nances which make virtue attractive aud easy to pur- sue. The employés are mot only urged into vice by their discomforts, but it is Vice alone who tenders them an alluring hospitality. She sets forth her 7,756 convenient bar-rooms, her 653 billiard tables, her 100 gambling hells, her 235 concertsaloons, and 730 regis- tered houses of prostitution—in all of which every young man will meet & cordial and cheery welcome. Why, here is a whole army with banners, a sonorous and glittering array, perpetually recruiting for those powers of Evil which our philanthropists claim to op- pose. It is estimated that the receipts of the *pretty- waiter-girl” saloons and of the houses of ill-fame alone, amount to the annual sum of $6,500,000. Add to this enormous item the immense income of the dram-shops, and you have an exhaustless commissary- chest for the maintenance of the satanic campaign. ‘What are the forceson the other side?

It has latterly been managed by earnest and accomplished young men, belonging to resident families, who devote time and money with- out stint to befriending those less fortunate tham themselves. There are literary, social, and religions facilities at the rooms of the Association, and its members perform a deal of gratuitous labor in finding aid and employment for those newly arrived and out of work. Committees *On Boarding-Houses,” “ On Employment,” and ** On Visitation of the Sick,” are significant of the practical turn which the Christianity of this Association has taken. The managers are now essaying to increase theis means to the proportions of the work in hand, and, es- pecially,toerect abuilding which willreallyenable them to offer social and moral attractions to the young mes of New-York. Theirdesign includesa Lecture Room, Reading Room, Circulating aud Reference Libraries, Conversation Rooms, a Gymnasium, and other means of recreation and advancement. Such a house corld not fail to become a general place of resort. For ite erection and endowment they ask the sum of $250,000. The amount, if large, is nothing in consideration of the object to be gained, aad our generous merchants, it they choose, can raise it in a single day. They cam find no better use for surplus funds, since this is al- most the first movement, of a truly philosophical na- ture in behalf of the youths of this city. It is based upon Heaver's own plan—that of making the instincte and tastes of the young subserve to their growth and well-being. Young men love, and will seek for, brightness, friendship, entertainmont, love, society. Give them something of all this in the pure and natural way, if you would offer any effective opposition to the saloon, the gambling-hell, and the brothel. It is strange that the gathering forces of corruption which gedden our thoroughfares at night with their lurid watchfires, do not awakon an alarm among us. Wo fear the coming pestilence, and lLave overthrown the routine of ;years to stay its advent.
