It says: st, Tt severs the connection between President Johnso and the Republican party. The vast influence of the Execu- tive in shaping the policy of the country is attested by the ve- hement struggles which have slways been wade by our polit- ical parties to secure that ‘:rul office. To clect a President has always boen deemed the greatest vietory which can be achioved in our pelitics. The power of that officer, even if he were the first mechanic or day-laborer that could be picked up in tho stree equal, through the veto, to that of one-third of both Honses of Congrass, He is also Commander-in-Chief of the Army; he negotiates all treaties; he appoints all office: through his subordinates, be has the collection and ¢ ment of the immense tevenues of the Government. In the hands even of the commanest and least sagacious man, this wonld be n great power; butin the hands of & statesman of ity, exporience, and_of a strong, resolute character, like 150, it is gigantic. The success of the Phfladeiphia n, which has, in all respects, answered the expects- 1 the wishes of Presigent Johuson, separai bim effectually from the Repubiican party, aud arrays the whole tufluerce of the executive brauch of the Goveramcnt agalust its policy.” —The effect of this inflaence is strikingly evinced in the columns of The World. 1t is not long since Andrew Johnson was held up to scorn and loathing in its edi- torials as **a boorish tailor,” a low, drunken brute, and his policy as Military Governor of Tennessee, his speeches to the Nashville Blacks, and on taking the oath of Vice-President, were printed by it to let its readers comprehend and abhor the ruffianly beast that the Republicaus were foisting into the secoud office in the country. No public man of our time—not even Gen. Butler—has been held up to such unmitigated popular exccration and disgust as Andrew Johnson. Said that journal, when he was nominated for Vice- Pr “The only merit we can discover in this Baltimore ticket is + itis ell of n plece; thotail not nd shame the tafl, A splitting r, both from the backwoods, both oranee, t rotesque shame tho b batfoon and who might_celobrate them in such Wi wift bestowed ¢ ana_ Ditton, or anes on that servile demagogue, Hyperbolus.” he bad little or nothing to gi 1 was not likely to give whatever he might have to The World's side; now Judas has gone over, carrying bis bag with him, and he has instantly become *‘a statesman of sagacity, esperience, and of a strong, The World stands ready, we it that he was sober as a —Then, you se resolute character.” doult rot, to make affids judge when inaugurated, and made one of the ablest t apeeches ever delivered.

The power to remove at will every Federal office- holder is a tremendous prerogative. It is mowhere given in express terms, That it exists, is a matter of inference—of construction. That the framers of the Constitution never meant to confer it, we are morally certain, Nay, we are confident that they did not con- er it. Mr. Andrew Johnson mnst have been of the sameé mind 50 late as Jan. 10, 1361, when he urged the Southern Senators not to secede from Congress, say- ing: +On the 4th day of Mar a1 nave ext, we (Democrats] sl six majority in this body; and if, as some apprebend, the in- comiog Administration’ shall show any disposition to make oncroachments upon the institution of Slavery, or upon the iy of the States, or any other violation of the Con; tation, we, by remaining in the Union, and standing at our plices, uve tha power to resist all these encroacbments. How? w We bavo the power even to reject the appointwent of the Cabinet officers of the incoming Presidont, * * ¢ 8o faros appoirting even a Minister abroad is concerned, the incoming ‘Administration will Lave no power witbont oar consent, if we remain here. It comes into office bandcufled, powerless to do harm. We, standing bere, hold the balance of power in our hands; wo cau resist at the very threshold effectually, and inside the Union, and in our own House, The incoming Ad- ministration has not power even to appoint a Postmaster, whose salary exceeds 81,000 year, without consultation with, and the acquiescenco of, the Senate of tho United States.” — Surely, it were needless to argue that the man who urged the foregoing did not beliove that the President might, the moment the Senate adjourned, turn out every officer to whose appointment it had assented, and roplace them by bis favorites, whom he knew the Senate would reject! Wa seo with satisfaction that Collector Thomas of Philadelphia proposes to bring this grave matter to the test of a solemn adjudication. e SLAVERY IN OUR CONTEST, The World asks: *Has Tur TriBUse forzotten that the Constitution, as it now stands, abolisbes Slavery forever 1" — Answer.— No, Sir! nor have we forgotten with chat d r party fought that abolition. i feroc is plain that the horrors of the butchery have thus far been undervalued, Tug TRIBUNE has been acc used of exaggerating the number of killed and wounded, but it is now estimated at three kundred and seventy-eight, figures much beyond our own. Important battles were fonght daring the war in which the losses were Nor is the persecution ended. Union men are their enemies, and the more terrible indifference of the Exccutive branch of the Government, it would be strange if they should remain. Farmore appalling than even such a riot is the fact that it could be com- mitted with impunity. JOMNSON’'S REPUDIATION OF LINCOLN. The strongest point which Mr. Johnson could make—the point which be has labored most to make—is, that in his attempt to force Congress to admit policy of Abrabam Lincoln. Never was & claim more ba: in all his speeches Mr. Johnson has repeated it, and, of late, with an irritation which be- trays & sense of weakness, Reverdy John- son, in Dbis address to the President, ingeniously attempts to gain from the love of the people for Mr. Lincoln popularity for his successor, and assures Mr. Johnson that ** being upon the same ticket with that much lamented public servant, whose fonl assassina- tion touched the heart of the civilized world with grief aud horror, you would have been false toobvious duty if you kad not endeavored to carry out the same policy.” Al the Copperhead papers which ferocious! denounced Mr. Lincoln's poliey while he lived, now praise Mr. Johnson for adopting it Thus we may see how Lighly the mantle of Elijah is valued—but Mr. Johnson has a cloak of his own, and the true garment falfillment of the purposes of Mr. Lincoln’s adminis- tration, the Union party might safely appeal to the people, and stand or fall by that alone, There is no conceivable form of denunciation of what you falsely termed ** perverting the war for the Union into a war for the Negro,” that was not employed by your oracles in Congress and their echoes on the stump and in the press. President Lincoln and his supporters were held up to execration by you having sacrificed the Union to Abolition.

The couutry, Yike a tonder mother, will bear a great deal of congratulation evor the fact that a professional eympathizer so shrewd as Ms. Reverdy Johnson bas helped his presidential nameeake to a relief of his over- charged sensibilities, There can be no mistake abont it; real tears have been shed of late, copious and volu- minous sorrow, a sentimental rain of so general a | character that we have serious fears that the cotton crops will be spoiled by late floods along the track of the returning membersof the Philadelphia Convention. | Thoe President, like Moses, had only to tap the rock of that Convention, and the waters gushed forth to order. “If you could bave seen, sir," said | Constitution has wot been duly ratified, and is not now in | oncurrence of thiee- | or of ndiission to any | amendment to the Consti- | resisted, the | who aflirzms that Congress is without auny It would be easier to define what is not than what which Mr. Johnson and Mr. \d submitted to the South fo a few plain priuciples wh { is the peculiar policy 1 | 8 adoption; yet there o | underlie it.

The following report on the condition of Bureas affairs in Texas Las been received by Ges. Howard: GALVESTON, Texas, Aug. 8, 1366, . 0. 0, HoWARD, Commissioner. ERAL: I have the honor to report turned from a tour through Fort Bend, Colorado and Countier, during which trip 1 addressed several thousand freedwen and macy planters. I found the crops ins most mu= 1 de- bale prosperous condition, aud both planters and freedmen elated at the prospects, All the planters unite in the that if the army-worm does not make it vastate their fiel o!lnoflnn‘w“lhe bove- get simHar r oll parts of the S ) belif that, if not destroyed by worm, the cotton p will b larger than for the past ten years, excepting I800—and that this result is solely attributable to free labor, aud the vigot and industry tbat it incites, The won Las been the worst for cotton raising that hae occurred for many years, aud notwithstanding the almost con. stent raing and floods—and overflows as a consequence—tae product of the freedmen’s labor will surpass years in which all else was more favorable. “The worm is making its appearauce in many localitles, bus not in any great numbers, or in any maliznant character thus far; and it is hoped and believed by old and experienced plauters, who have made its peculiarities a study, , f fa- Yored with dry weather till the 1st of September, the erop wilk be beyond its power. “The freedmen in these conntion are rwostly varll-r for part crop under very favorable contracts, and appear to huve a full apprecistion of the fact that upon their lnbor and indusiry de- pends their incomo at the end of the yesr. 1 made tiis » specinl point in my nddresses. Iam, fowever, fearing great trouble in getting au equitable division ot the crop for the freedmen, Mauy men in this State thiok it no harm to cheat the freedmen oat of their just wages on the gronnds that thete boing liverated and taken from them as property was vconsti- tutional, 1 will, bowever, prefer specitic instiuctions to my ageuts, and do il in my power to see that they get the proper suare of the resvlts of their labor. The greatest trouble 1 have in the administration of the affairs of the Burenu of this State consists in protecting the | freedmen from lawless violonce. Murder and outrage are largely on the increase, Every mail from the ivterior brings me reporis from my agents and other trustworthy soorces of Inforniation, of murders, from one o five at a time, of negroes. T i lef. 80 powerless 1o give proper protection, for want of troops to sustain wy agents and make arrcsts, that 1 grow sich at heart, and wobder ot the war power of the Goveramens Teaving this unfortanate class of people, whom it liberated by foree, thus exposed to the vioience of a chagiined and life long enemy. "Ihe only remedy T oan suggest is army officers for agents, and troops to sustain chem. If in your judgment it is the set- tled policy of tae Executive to leave the Bureau without ad quaie military protection, 1 will desist making these offieial appeals; but until I am’ thus informed, I must coutinue ta plead for such foree as will make 1ay duties bere a realicy a farce, The Appropiiation bill anthorizes the pay- tizen agents now, but I caunot find any who ai nd who can take the oath required. 1am now “nited States srmy ofticers, and bave found twe Gen, Wrignt gives mo ull the officers ba | | | very good ones, “ | thinks be cau spare, but wy State is large aud the requive- weats are great, it you will give mo advantage of the 4tl see- tiow of the act pertaining lo the Bureau, which anthorizes the | retention o ers of volunteers. At present, from the cow dition of my wounds, I am upfit for other duty. Having becomd to some degree neclimated and much interested in wy preseat duties, I would be glad to be retained.
