It is unnecessary to say that Mr. Stevens will not be a beggar or a bargainer for the U. S, Senatorship in Pennsylvania; but the self- respecting and sensible letter which he ad- dresses to a legislator of that State will gratify his admirers throughout the country. He reverts to the notorious fact that in a former Legislature the office was bought and sold; and he declares that he will not insult the character of the present one, freshly elected to represent the honest aims of the people, by Jobbying for his momination. The effect of | this letter should be to impress every Republi- ean legislator of Pennsylvania with a senso of the duty which he owes to the people of his State in helping to elect a statesman and not a mere politician to the Senate. Mr. Stevens will mind his work in Congress; and if the Legislature appreciate that work, and if the people are wise, they will make him Senator. e—— THE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT. Mr. Ashley has offered his resolutions, and they have taken the course indicated in the cavcns on Saturday evening. The excitement which the announcement of Mr. Ashley’s inten- tion created in Wall-st. last week did not so much indicate a fear of the impeachment, or even of the result of it, but that our finances were so unhealthy, so feverish and uncertain, that the t derangement created a panie. The currenc; ust now in such a morbid, ex- citable condition that any unusual . event— as the death of the Emperor Napoleon, a war between Russia and Turkey, or an in England, would set our markets in an uproar and drive ruin through Wall-st. In addition to Mr. Ashley’s resodution, Mr. Loan of Missouri introduced an incoherent and amusing resolution, which we are told ere- ated some excitement. Mr. Loan is evidently a morbid person, with the weakness of getting into print, or in somo way attracting attention; and we shall probably hear no more of his manifesto. Mr. Ashl ssolution was re- ferred to a committee, and will be considered. There can, of course, be no harm in thissrefer- ence. At the same time, now that the question has been bronght before the country, there are some points which occur to us as worthy of careful thonght. 1. There is nothing now to be gained by Im- peachment. President Johnson has been a bad President, but also a foolish one. We have had a Chief Magistrate doing all hie conld to destroy the party which elected him, and at the same time all he could to destroy himself. If Presi- dent Johnson has Leen an enemy of Republi- he has also been an enemy of himself. He did much against the party; but the elections left mothing of him. He was left politically dead—scarcely worth burfal., He was looked wupon as a defeated and disappointed schemer; still, he had a large party at Lis back. In this country, the ghortest political road is that which leads from a majerity to a minority. Our party will take this road when it rashly begins impeachment. That can only revive President Johnson's dying fortunes, and give him what he wants— sympathy, and the chance to make a defensive war, 1L Can he be impeache?? We do not doubt the law—Dbut how would the law work? The charges would be mnumerous, intricate, and drawn with skill. There would be endless yearning on the part of the Republicans to make speeches in favor of the prosecution, and of course every effort on the part of the Presi- dent’s friends to prolong the trial, fighting it step by step, and endeavoring at least to drag it end- lessly. We will back Garret Davis for a three months’ speech, and Cowan wuntil the end of his term, with Saulsbury and McDougall good for intermediate volumes of talk. Warren Hastings was eight years on trial, and in his case there was every motive to hurry matters. Here there would be every motive to delay the trial by the President’s friends. 1L, Could the President be removed? Gen. Butler made an ingenious argument daring the election to show that, upou the mere presenta- tion of articles of impeachment, the Senate might depose the President and place another person in his oflice during the trial. Butler's argument was ingenious; but we presume there are twenty lawyers who can make an argument as ingenious on the other side. There is no definite law about it ; and President Johnson is not the man to surrender the benefit of a doubt. Those who think he will quietly walk out of the White House at the bidding of a majority of the Senate, mistake the man and the despe- rate character of the adventurers who control his fortunes. What would an impeachment amount fo with the accused all the time in NAVY GAZETTE. — ST TRLEUEAPE T0 THE TRINCNE DETACHED, R 31, —Acting Vol Lieut.

President Johnson has doue many things - which we consider crimi- nal; Imt wonld the Senate as judges think 801 Tampering with the revenues by re- moving faithful officcrs because they attended to their business and did not concern them- selves about politics, and appointing dishonest men, 18 & serious matter. «The interferenco in the Fenian troubles last Summer, whereby the Lonor of America was sacrificed to please England, should be inquired into, The riots at New- Orleans, and the fact that no human being has been punished for the blood there shed, stain with indelible blackness the adminis- tration of President Johnson. We yearn for some atonement for that crime; and it is wise that Congress should find out the authors of the wrong—all who were accessory either before or after the fact—and punish them. We believe o Comuittee bas the matter uwow in charge, We have yet to seo whether the best remedy for this is impeachment. V. Are there no issues of more importance than this? Must all this Congress be wasted, and the next, perhaps, in & pageant and pro- longed dcbate, endless jarring of lawyers and Senators. The Currency calls for relief, Labor suffers under this fearful inflation. Our tariffs want reconstruction, There are a Lundred questions near fo the prosperity of the nation which must suffer and dio becuuse of this measure, —We do not say that a President should not be impeached. We by no means say that Mr. Johnson should not be impeached. That would be to take judgment into our own hands. We think this Administration has been a calamity —a disgrace—the cause of many evils to the country. We should like some redress. But how is it to be had? In attempting to re- move these evils, may we not fly to others that we know not of? May we mnot put a precedent upon our statute-books which will give any Democratic major- ity of the Senato and House in future years the right to revolutionize the Government in the interest of Slavery? Let us walk slowly, and survey the ground as we go. Let us not lay violent hands upon the Exeentive oflice until we find that no other course remains for the honor of the nation. Perhaps we are wrong; Dbut it does not seem to us that the time for the sterner alternative has come. e TUE DISTRICT SUFFRAGE VETO. No thoughtful observer can doubt that the general current jof human affairs sets strongly toward Democracy, or the further diffusion and distribution of political power. However strongly we may deprecate this—as many no- toriously and openly do deprerate it—we know no one who disputes the fact, The reéstab- lishment of Universal Suffrage in France by the blood-stained usurper who last seized her Ly the throat—its employment to sanction the transfer, first of Savey to France, then of Venetin and the Quadrilateral to Ttaly—the deference just shown to it by the aristocratic despot Bismarck—all these, and many more such, combine to prove that the People must and will vote on public questions vitally affecting their rights and their general well-being. We must destroy our steam printing-presses, pull down our telegraph wires, and tear up our railroads, if this unnfistakable tendency of the age is to be resisted. o Taxation without Representation,”is the war-cry under which the President and bis supporters demand a speedy recognition by ly in Congress of the right of the States rebellion to self-government and i in the National councils. And they are right as to the principle, if not as to its application. In a Republie, those who uphold the State must have a voice in its government. Any exception to this rule is anomalous, and must, in the na- ture of things, be temporary. “The stars in “their courses” beam a smile of approval on every effort to establish “governments for the “people by the people.” Tresident Johnson professes to be a Demo- erat. He hasbeen made “an Alderman, a Mayor, “a Legislator, a Member of Congress, Governor, “U. 8. Senator, Vice-President, and e sident,” by virtue of such cheap and profitable pro- fessions, Yet, when brought to the test, it seems that his notion of the people contemplates only those already enfranchised. *The people™ of the District, he frequently reiterates, are opposed to sharing their Right of Sullrage with negroes. That is to say: Those who now mo- nopolize political power in the Federal District would like to retain sheir monopoly ! Of course | they would : did any possessors of a monopoly ever choose to give it up or share it with others 1 If the Presicent's logic be sound, then farewell | to hope of future political melioration! No aris- tocracy ever yet surrendered its exclusive priv- ileges becanso it was weary of enjoying them. If the President reasons well, then Joln Bright & Co. are pestilent demagogues; for “the peo- ple” who now vote in Great Dritain do not want any extension of the franchise. They are perfectly willing to “let well alone.” 1f Mr. Johnson is open to a new engagement, the hard-up British Tory Ministry now desperately clinging to their places would doubtless pay liberally. Even though no reason could be imagined for resisting further Reform, they would like a champion of hoary abuses who can persistently talk, even though he says nothing. There are 100,000 Whites and 80,000 Blacks, says Mr. Johnson, in the Federal District. The former now enjoy a monopoly of political power, which most of them would gladly retain indefinitely. A minority-of these, with all the 80,000, demand Impartial Suffrage. Congress accedes to; the President repels the d@mand. Read him carefully, and judge if there might not be made a better argument against the Golden Rule itself, Mr. Johnson thiuks the District Blacks onght not to vote, because there are so many of them, and likely to be more. These seem to us to be reasons why they should vote. If they were but a handful, and fast dying out, it might be plausibly urged that their voting or not voting was a matter of no moment. Mr. Johnson fears that still more negroes will come into the District, if their race is there enfranchised. This is a capital reason for establishing Tmpartial Suffrage throughout the land by Constitutional Amendment. Then “niggers” would not be induced to crowd into the District in order to enjoy the Right of Suf- frage. Thank you, Mr. President ! Congress may, he thinks, be led on to grant- ing titles of nobility, and cutting up all con- ceivable didoes, if they shall be allowed to enfranchise the Blacks! That is to say: if allowed to do right, they may be led on to do wrong! Very good: when they do, let us pitch into them. But it would be rather hard to forbid a bey to breathe, since, were he allowed to breathe, he might possibly swear. The President suggests that, if the Blacks are anthorized to vote in the District, the peo- ple may finey that they are to be enfranchised in the States as well! “Jess 80.” We trust they may. The President snggests that authorizing the Blacks to vote is likely to “engender a fecling “of ‘opposition and hatred between the two “races.” Hatred by whom ? "We go bail for the Blacks that they will not thus misbehave be- cause they are enfranchised. Will the Whites ? If they will, that fact affords an argument, not against enfranchising the Blacks, but in favor of disfranchising the Whites. But we will not tamely submit to such groundless aspersions on the good sense and decency of our race. Mr. Johnson, being White himself, ought not thus to defame his kinsmen. True, there are mean Whites ; but most of us know how to behave at an election. As to those who do n't, they must be impressively taught. We can't afford to have them disgracing themselves and us eternally. But “the ballot-box,” says the President, “must be carefully guarded against the control “of those Who are coryupt in principle and en- “omies of free institutions”™—which scems t0 be a fling at the late Rebels, Perhaps that is s0; but we hate to strike a man when he is down. Many a Secessionist of 1563 1s a pretty good Unionist in 1867, Won't you allow a sin- ner to repent 7 ’ As to the President’s long dissertation on the interdependence and respective functions of the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial powers, we infer that it was vritten on some other occa- ud inserted here under a mistaken im- pressi n that the Veto Message was not al- e ‘ong enougl. Though rather tame and tedio. 5, it is 't vory bad, save as utterly out of plice. Let the President reclaim and save it for lis next Message, or some other solemn occasion. Mr. Johnson truly urges that the recently emancipated Blacks lack Education,. We ven- ture to suggest that the lively Southern cus- tom of burning negro school-houses might as well bo intermitted, or at least postponed. En- franchise the Blacks, and you make it every one's interest that they be educated, Prescribe that they shall only vote if well instrueted, and you offer fresh inducements to the burners of negro schiool-houses. They scem not to need any. On the whole, this seems the least plausible Veto Message we ever read. Can it Lave been intended to aid the measure of radical justice it seems to oppose and deprecate? gion, ¢ THE MAYOR'S ME Mayor Hoffman's message begins with a com- plaint that while in theory the City of New- York is governed by the Mayor and Common Council, in fact it is not, and he depends upon the long budget of statistics appended to prove that legislative interference in our local affairs is injurions, He finds the net city and county debt to be $30,901,878, of which $11,000,- 000 are for the Croton Water-works, $10,000,000 for the Central Park, and 14,445,000 for expenses created by the war. The tax levy of 1866 was 16,050,767 The rate of taxation last year was but 230 on every hundred dollars, less than that of Philadelphia Brooklyn, Albany, and a number of other cities mentioned in the message, The argument based on these figures is, in effect, that as the rate of taxation is comparatively low, and that f the whole tax levy the State required about 000,000, the legislative commissions, such as the Police Board and the Board of Health, about $8,000,000, and the city and county, ex- cluding interest and redemption of debt, onl¥ abont £5,000,000, thercfore it is to the interest of the people that the whole revenue should be controlled by the city. If these are not the Mayor’s grounds for wishing the Constitutional Convention to restore to the Common Council the power it formerly possessed, we are at a loss to understand the weaning of his Houor's argument. But such a comparison as this is manifestly unfair. It is not the rel amount of money distributed by the legislative commissions and by the city that tests their respective economy, but the application of the funds. The Legisla- ture wisely ‘gave to the Board of Education, the Board of Health, the Metropolitan Police, &ec., the more important and expensive departments; these neeessarily required the greater propor- tion of the revenue for the year ; the real ques- tion is whether had the Common Couneil and the Mayor controlled the schools and the police their administration would have been less ex- pensive ! 1f every tax-payer cannot answer this question, the schedule of the general expenses of the departments controlled by the Common Council certainly does answer it, and not in a way that sustains Mr. Hoffman's argument. After deducting the salaries of the police, school teachers, Board of 4lcalth, Park Commis- gioners, Fire Department, &e., in fact the bulk of all our offices, we find the salaries of the City Government amounting to £811,849, and £40,000 were expended in stationery, #50,000 in printing for the Common Coun- cil. This is not very good evidence of wisdom or economy, nor do we know what are included in the “miscellancons items” which swallowed £747,120 of the nearly four millions set down to general expenses. We have repeatedly ex- posed the corrupt Pontracts and extravagant appropriations of the Council, and but the other day noted their unjustified donation of $200 to each officer under their control, in addition to his regular sadgry. We need not repeat these details; it is enongh that [Mr. Hoffman cannot assame the superior cconomy of the Common Conneil beeause it only expended #5,000,000 while the legislative commissions spent $8,000,- 000, while he ignores the difference of pur- poses, and of the benefits the city derived., His gencral charge against the commissions shonld bave been sustained by specifications of their bad management; this he has not attempted except in the single case of the special com- mission for the improvement of the Broadway pavement, a matter involving £372,- 793, and the alleged extravagance in this case is not yet proven. The very decrense of the rate of taxation to which he refers is proof of the value of the reforms we have begun with the aid of the Legislature, Mr. Hoffman would undo all the good that has been done. He would place the Treasury completely under the coutrol of 24 Councilmen, of whom, last year, but six were known to be honest. The majority, as Mr. Parton well said, “were about equal in experience and “ability to the management of an oyster stand “in a market,” and we have yet to learn that the new members are any better. The Coun- cilmen are notoriously elected by the worst classes of the city, and well reprosant their consti- tuents. Mr. Parton's moderace analysis of the vote which supports the “ Ring” assigns 10,000 votes, to the grog-shops, 20,000 to the criminal classes, 10,000 to the gambling-houses and brothels, and 20,000 to the men controlled by office-holders— a total of 60,000 votes pledged against reform. Mr. Hoffman says that he “ possesses the confi- “dence of the vast majority of the people “of the city,” bnt, with these figures uncontradicted, we wonder that he should boast of it. This power we cannot fight suc- cessfully without the help of the Legislature, and the disgraceful record of past years is good reason for agreeing with the Citizens' Associa- tion that the abolition of the City Council would be better than its present rule. With the evidence before it, the Legislature will not be convinced by Mr. Hoffman's argument, but will rather take from the Council more of the power it abuses. Wo may expect it to create this Winter a Board of Public Works, and per- haps even a Board of Revision, and the Con- stitutional Convention will certainly strengthen a system which in the Board of Police Com- missioners, in the Paid Fire Department, the Board of Health, and the Board of Excise, has already done so much for the prosperity and reputation of the metropolis. —— 1t is now the common expectation that the animosity of the Greeks against the Turks will very shortly ripen into open hostilities, and the Great Powers of Europe are consequently de- liberating upon the attitude they shall assume in ych a case. The reports ou this poiny aro, as usual, contradictory”. “ A cable dispatch dated yesterday, informs us tha¢ France and England are agreed mot to meddle jn a war between Turks and Greeks, unless Ruossia should under- take to interfere in 1t. Mr. Kasson has proposed in the House a timely resolution declaratory of the trde intent and meaning of the clause of the late Amend- ment prohibiting involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for erime. The intended meaning of the excepted servitude is, we presume, as the resolution declares, “impisonment or other “restraint of freedom under the immediate con- “trol of the officers of the law,” but Lad the Janguage been more carcfully chosen we might Lave been spared the shame and willful wrong of the slave-sales which have taken place in Maryland under a literal construction of the amendment. The resolution will come up be- fore the House to-day. MUSIC. ———— It will appear strange to aselect class of opera- goers that German Opera, a6 we have it at the Thalia Theater, with its Gretchen-faced donna, whose voice is more genial than wonderful; o tenor whose artistic senso.and style only redeem a thick and heavy in- tonation; & baritone who is seldom more than manly and spirited, though withal a good musician; a bass who at the most seems only carcful and clever— should be, after all, a promising success. Yet it onght not to be at all surprising, in view of the rarity and novelty of any genuine attempt to bring the public into familiarity with the unoqualed wealth of the German intellect and imagination in musie. Voices which on an Italian stage would be little more than tolerable in the sonnambulistic infancy of opera vocaksm, essay Mozart, and succeed in entertaining, and even instructing, popular sudiences, The good does to the current musical a German opera iden of the community is not to be meas- ured by its vocalists, but by its composers. German opera, such as we get, is popular with_ the intelligent German masses—not because Herr Wil- helm ti“umm» and the yest sing it, but because Mozart, Beethoven and Weber wrotg it. To have such operas as *“The Magic Flute,” ™ elio” and “Euryanthe” sung at all, when the greater part of the money and enterprise devoted to operatic specu= lations is wholly invested in the modern stage masters, is at least o satisfaction, and pensates us, by force of movelty, for want of certain sensuous perfections which belong to the Italian muse and stage. Lacking better rendition, our German masses are con- tent to hear their mmsieal scriptnre interpreted by Bumblér ministers. A deficiency of great voices an abundanee of great music have led them to pre music itself above the singer, and to be content with subsisting upon that average intelligence of musi- eal performance which, 3t must bo admitted, is stronger among the ans © than any other people. With eves artists in individual respects, the prod TIAN Opers on of seldom fails to afford us distinguishing merits of orchestra and chorus; and we hearing apt and xrr i good vocalists, ‘ are geuerally sure of iative musieians, if not always s6 whoremember Manager An- kable as no subsequent seasons have been for extent and variety of their reper- toires, and boasting nothing so mueh as a well- drilled chorus, an orchestra in its true element, and a leader ivspired with his work—will witness the wneral justice of our remarks.

But it is well to remark that a stylish ren- lering of these trios would be the last thing desira- ble; and there is at least o merit of simplicity in the werman rendering. g Horr Himmer returned to the stage as Tamino with all his old grace and expression as an artist, and all his natural defects as a singer.

The part of the Quee the Night is blessed witha music so delicionsly subile and airy that Shalespeare’s elves might sing it, The voice of Mlle. Naddi is much too tremulous, bt its sincerity at least suggested this beauty » best praise of the general performance must given to Sarostro, as sung by Mr. Joseph Chandon of the French nr'r;l. A calm, well-sus- taine en bass is needed for the profound, dreamy and powerful music which makes this l[mrt one of the grandest in all the range of opera. Lhe song of “ In diesen heilgen hallen” will admit ang extent of basso-power; and to say that M. Chandon sang it gracefully and with careful expression is the praise wo think due to & clever artist. We shonid have been glad to have heard the opera more fully and earnesily sustained in respectof chorus; and we trust that the nianagers will not negleet to use every means to perfect their troupe, and to satisfy the taste from which they are to’ their suppol artial to and w spirited and Of Ml THE DRAMA. e OLYMPIC THEATER. Iu our unotice of the Olympic Theater, yesterday, the name of Mr. Grau was, by an error of the types, substituted for that of Mr. Grover.

BRUTUS AT THE WINTER GARDEN, John Howard Payne's tragedy of *Brutus” was acted last evening at the Winter Garden, before & targe audicnce, and will be repeated to-morrow night. It was neatly put upon the stage. Mr. Booth’s personation of Brutus shows his genius in a strong light. The former portion of it is full of singular force—the latter of intense feeling and manly dignity. The character is well known. Tt is the Bru- tus wlhio avenged Lucretia, drove the Tarquin from | Rome, and sacrificed his own son on the altar of de- votion to his country, The dramatist has illustrated this heroism in a foiir-act tragedy, the action of which enlminates in Brutus's condemnation of Zitus. At first Hrutus simulates madness; then—a cause for revolt beiug furnished in the crime agninst Lavinia—his spirit breaks loose, and he sweeps ou to vengeance. M Booth was eapeclally powertal, last. evening, in the imprecation against Sertus, und in the address to the p\uulv‘n from the faneral pyre of Lucrelia. But it was In the fourth act, vl'lmugm portrays the struggle betwixt natural affection “and the Rowan sense of justice, that he attuined the eminenco of pathos.
