THE PRESIDENTS LAST TOUR.

If men would learn by the experience of others,
and treasure up what history tells, much of the
blunders and crimes, suffering, and regrets would
disappear from earth. Not only, however, are men
not taught by the examples before them, but a large
proportion are even unable to appreciate and utilise
their own experience. Whatever else may be said
of President JoiiNsoN, lie cannot be accused of ne-
glecting the lessons of the past. It is almost impos-
sible to conceive a greater contrast than is presented
by his tour of last summer and that just completed.
No object would be gained by recalling the events
of that fatal round, when Mr. JOIINSON, as if pos-
sessed of the spirit of his enemies, did for himself .
what they could not do, shattering, in his person,
the respect and influence with which the country
viewed its Chief Magistrate. Never before, in the
person of a President, had the nation been so
humiliated. In Europe, it must be remembered—
fully to understand the feeling—that the citizens of
the United States elect the head of their Govern-
ment. He is their chosen one—their representative
man, put forward by the majority as possessing
pre-eminently those qualifications which, in the Re-
public, are held in the highest esteem. Bearing this
in mind men learn to appreciate the national feel-
ings, and to comprehend the difference on this point
between an hereditary Monarch and an elected Pre-
sident. The subjects of the one cannot be respon-
sible for the man whom accident has placed over
them, but the fellow-citizens of the other are re-
sponsible for the person they had deliberately
elected to the post. His condemnation is their
condemnation ; his shame their shame. Thus it
was that Mr. JOHNSON'S wild tour struck home to
the hearts of a sensitive people, bringing the blush
to many a cheek, the tear to many an eye, an oath
to many a tongue. In spite, however, of Mr.
-JonNsoN's unguarded, undignified, and even blas-
phemous language, he is not only a man of good
heart, but sound head, and, what is more, he showed
himself able to lay a bitter lesson to heart, extract-
ing from it all its healing wisdom. Where Mr.
JOHNSON erred was in overlooking the dignity of
the post which he had so unexpectedly been called
to fill. The simplicity of a Republic refuses to
surround the Presidential incumbent with the state
and ceremonial of European nations, reminding the
ruler at every turn of the great dignity of his office.
It should not, then, create so much surprise that the
daring and successful leader of a partisan warfare in
the wilds of Tennessee should have overlooked thefact
that he stood alone on the great Continent where
he was born, on a pinnacle of power, with but few
others elsewhere to divert from him the eyes of
mankind. We are all more impressed with cere-
monial than we care to own. It is the outward and
visible sign of power, which requires no exercise of
the intellect to comprehend, and which is therefore
readily and easily accepted by every one—even by
the ruler himself. But if the transgression wasgreat,
though not without the excuse of much provocation,
it has been redeemed, by the way, in which Mr.
JOHNSON has profited by the sharp and bitter les-
son. lie seated himself in the martyred Prident's
chair, a factious leader of a party—he willes vacate
that chair the sober and dignified ruler of a mighty
nation. When he entered the White House he was
unworthy of the post—he will leave it qualified for
any sway. His has en a path of thorns, but it
it is on these paths thabte such men learn and become
qualified for power by the prdctical teaching of
dearly-bought experience.
Wherever Mr. JOHNSON went he carried with
him the ghost of his fatal tour. While he
spoke he had this shade muttering in
only
his
ear. No more before his eye stretched
the sea of heads, the eager faces fixed on him
shadow was at his elbow, and beyond the mighty
crowd straining their ears to catch all he said he
saw iu his mind's eye a listening world. He now
realised in its fulness the magnitude of the place,
and iu presence of the mighty reality the PRESI-
DENT stood sobered and over-awed. In vain his
enemies listened for an unguarded word to drop from
his lips. Never spoke ruler with more scrupulous
care ; and while all his thoughts on politics were
sealed, he gave free utterance to the kindly im-
pulses of his nature. With reference to himself he
urged the purity of his motives—"l say it in the
sincerity of my heart that conscientious conviction
has been my courage, the public good alone my
aim, and the Constitution of my fathers my guide."
The cheers which rang over Springfield in reply
were no empty compliment, but the spontaneous
and hearty response to the admirable words ad-
dressed to the inhabitants by their PRESIDENT. It
was thus that he passed along reiterating the
sincerity of his efforts for the public good, predict-
ing the speedy advent of the time when passion
and hatred will cease to divide the country, when
truth and reason will again assume their empire.
Only one idea did the PRESIDENT embody, and it is
singularly out of keeping with the sentiment of the
American people. He said the country was too
large, and that much of the existing differences
arose from that cause. He is right, perhaps, as re-
gards the immediate effect, but the mind of the nation
has a truer inspiration, which lies not in the present
but iu the ultimate object before it. Coming from
such a quarter, the opinion is worth careful study ;
and we will endeavour to show in our next issue that
Mr. JOHNSON in this would sacrifice the grandest
future ever conceived to secure a immediate benefit.
Although the good of the present tour cannot
balance the harm of the last, its effect in re-estab-
lishing the influence and respect due to the PRESI-
DENT has, in one word, been prodigious. It will
hasten the arrival of the good time he predicts. It
takes the wind out of the sails of the ultra-Radi-
cals, and places behind Mr. JOHNSON a solid pha-
lanx of the moderation, good sense, and conserva-
tive element of the country. Anglo-American

The Nation says :—" The Ohio Republicans have
gone decidedly ahead of their position of a year ago.
One
of the resolutions passed at their State Convention on
Wednesday wook places the party 'on the simple and now
platform of impartial manhood suffrage.' There is now
before the people an amendment to the State constitution
which provides that negroos may vote, and we begin to
think its ratification may be expected. At all events, the
Republican party in Ohio must be held to have purged
itself with due form of the heresy of last year, and the de-
feat of the measure, if it is defeated, will lie at the door of
the Democrats, who, if they do defeat it, will no doubt turn
round as one man, from Texas to Maine, and insist on
being told why the Radicals, who pretend to love the nigger,
don't enfranchise him at the North as well as at the South.
Wo shall bo disappointed if Now York does not follow the
example of her Western neighbour, and at any rate man-
hood suffrage throughout the North cannot be very long
delayed, it having become ono of the things which every-
body thinks must be done quickly before the other party
does it.
The Pacific Railroad is open to Julesbufg, 376
miles west of the Missouri River, and about 200 miles this
side of Denver. Freight and travel aro now going for-
ward and through without much interruption from the
Indians. Tho war is probably over for the season—
exactly how is not apparent yet, for neither have the
soldiers reached the rod skins with their bullets, nor the
agents and traders with their presents, but over
it pretty certainly is. Our side should not ac-
cept it as finished, however, without bringing the
mischievous tribes to sharp terms, and making them fool
our power to hurt, as well as our disposition to spare and
protect. The troops should not bo called back fromseso
the

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 18G7.

_-,---
..,oria DERtY had a satsfactory task to perform last
night in introducing the Reform 13111 into the House
of Lords, and it is reached so advanced Pleasing to reflect that it has the man a stage of proceedings. After
y doubts and drawbacks that attended its
earlier course some will be agreeably surprised that 1

it has got to the Upper House at all. The noble I
lord proposed to fix the second reading for Monday
next, and in the event of the debate terminating on
that day that they should take Friday for the Com-
mittee, but Earl GREY said that Monday week
would be a more convenient day to fix upon for the
committee, because the debate on the second read-
ing was not likely to end so quickly as the Premier
imagined. The noble earl said he had no inten-
tion to oppose the second reading, nor did he
know of any noble lord who had such intention,
but still he thought of moving a resolution to the
effect that the bill required consideration. IVithout
giving the exact terms of this, Earl GREY seemed to
think that he would meet with considerable support
in this resolution. After such very lengthened exa-
minations have been made in the Commons in the
course of this measure passing through it, it seems
very strange that any one should deem it necessary
to take up any more time than is absolutely neces-
sary in discussing its details. No doubt Lord
GREY thinks that he can make out a very good
case, but the question is, why should he take up
time that is so precious in proposing changes that
can very well be made in committee, if they are
even then desirable or necessary to be made? All
the objections which he made would have done very
well had they been made in the House of Commons
at the earlier part of the session ; but at this pro-
tracted period in the House of Lords they are
quite out of character. He said that he was
persuaded of the importance of discussing the
whole principle of a bill of this kind on the second
reading, so that they Might be properly prepared to
consider its details in committee. It cannot be de-
nied that this seems plausible enough at first, but
then it must be borne in mind that there has been
opportunity enough given to all the members of the
House of Lords to dwell upon the details of this
measure during the time that has elapsed since its
introduction into the Commons.

We do not anticipate that Lord GREY'S sanguine
expectations will be realised respecting the support
he will meet with, or else it would be alarming to
follow him in his portentous announcement. He
said that it was necessary to have some interval
between the second reading of the bill and the com-
mittee, "because until the opinion of the house has
been indicated to a certain extent by the proceed-
ings on the second reading, it is impossible for
those who object to some of the provisions of
the bill to decide upon what amendments they
will propose." What a prospect lies before
one in this description through the vista of
the future--what an array of amendments and a
long list of divisions, but the best consolation is to
think that it is in words more than in fact that the
danger threatens and the delay impends. When
the time comes the good sense of the House of
Lords will come to the rescue, and the committee
will speedily reject such amendments as are un-
necessary, and refuse to consider those that are
Simply vexatious. Lord DERBY very wisely agreed
to the proposed delay, so far as to intimate that the
Government would not seek unduly to hasten the
progress of the bill, but would consult the general
wishes of their lordships, as far as regarded the time
for taking the next stage. The second reading
will be taken on Monday next, and then it is to be
hoped that great progress will be made in a short
time, because it would cause great disappointment
if unnecessary delays took place. Besides the time
spent in discussing the changes that may be desir-
able in the House of Lords, all these alterations
must be again considered by the Commons, and
perhaps it might not agree to them, so that confu-
sion would arise and complications occur, much to
be deprecated and deplored.
It is not expected that the bill should pass the
Upper House without any change taking place, but
then there is a moderation required in all things,
and it will not do to make this occasion an excep-
tion to the rule. The House of Commons has, on
the whole, set the House of Lords a good example,
and it will be well if it is followed with care and
caution. Much time has indeed been consumed in
the passing of the Representation of the People Bill
in the popular branch of the Legislature ; but that
was in many respects unavoidable under the circum-
stances of the case, because the principles of the
bill had to be considered, and many desirable changes
to be made in it. These delays and drawbacks will
not intervene to shorten the progress of the Reform
Bill in the House of Lords, and therefore the
same allowances cannot be made for a length-
ened period intervening before the Reform Bill
receives the Royal assent. We have yet to learn
what Earl RUSSELL will do in the matter, and
must wait until next Monday, in order to see if he
will adopt a wise course or an ill-judged one. Very
likely at the beginning of the session he was fully
determined to oppose any measure on the subject
of Reform that emanated from the DERBY Govern-
ment, but it is not too much to hope that by this
time he has learnt wisdom, and while he
knows the impracticability of succeeding
in a hostile movement, he may recognise the expe-
diency of consenting with a good grace to what
must eventually become the law of the land in
some form or other. The " considerable amend-
. ment," which Earl GREY seems to think advisable
will no doubt dwindle away, and become lees and
less as time proceeds, until at last, if it does not
vanish altogether into thin air, it may be so minute
that it cannot produce any serious result, or cause
disappointment to those who wish to arrive at a
satisfactory conclusion.

Although the weather this week has been any-

Yesterday was one of the most eventful
SULTAN'S visit, and no doubt thesights
presented to his notice were, more interesting
were
presented to him
than the displays of naval and military force
T
e which
e
he might easily have witnessed elsewhere.
arsenal at Woolwich, however, presents no ordinary
spectacle. The triumphs of machinery are there
forcibly illustrated in those special departments of
industrial skill in which English mechanism excels.
Even the SULTAN, calm and unimpressible as is
his usual manner, was evidently much struck
with the wonders of the steam hammer. Ills Ma-
jesty watched with interest the varied displays of
the ponderous hammer, 16 tons in falling weight,
now flattening down a mass of metal, now cracking
without crushing a tiny lump of coal. The vast
force so completely under control certainly pre-
sented
a marvellous spectacle, and not less won-
derful was the drawing of one of the
long coils for a heavy gun from the fur-
nace. The furnace goes back more than a hun-
dred feet, and from its mouth the coil issues like a
monster Pharoah's serpent, and twines itself in fiery
folds round the drum. Such sights as these are far
more marvellous to the SULTAN than any display of
-fleets or armies, for they show him what he cannot
:see at home, and they serve to convey to his mind
in idea of the vast progress made by European
ar.vilisation and science. Such visits are more
ti Aan mere matters of ceremony and eti-
q+ uette, for no second - hand accounts could suc-
ceed in impressing ou the SULTAN and his suite
the facts which a very superficial inspection on their
.own part may demonstrate to them. Travel is

always considered to enlarge the mind and quicken
the faculties, because it takes the most narrow and
prejudiced out of themselves. It inevitably ex-
pands their mental horizon, and shows them that,
however[excellent their judgment,the world contains
some millions of persons in full possession of their
faculties who do not think like them on any of
the most important questions of life. We have
left off talking about the grand tour, be-
cause men now-a-days go on travelling all
their lives. They no longer devote a year or two to
travel, and then settle down immoveably for the rest
of their livesr A trip to Paris, a month in Ger-
many, a visit to Spain or Italy, are mere matters of
everyday routine, and an excursion to Scandinavia,
or a walk up the Alps, are among the recognised
means of passing au autumnal holiday. Business,
as well as pleasure, constantly calls men abroad,
and many of those engaged in commerce or manu-
factures are now-a-days more familiar with the
highways and byeways of the Continent than
their fathers were with Wales or Scotland. There
is no question that this continual traffic has helped
very much to that better understanding among the
nations of Europe that the philosophers of our time
are rejoicing over. It would be impossible for such
tales to pass current of THEODORE of Abyssinia as
were generally believed in this country of the first
NAPOLEON, and though wars and rumours of wars
are still prevalent amongst us, it is no small gain
that populations differing in race, in religion, in
customs, in pursuits, should each recognise the good
to be found in the other instead of narrowing their
views to their own bounded limit.
The SULTAN will take back with him to Con-
stantinople a very different impression of Paris
and London than he could have gained in a life-
time at home, and it is an important step in the
civilisation of the East that such journeys should
be possible. That the Sultan of TURKEY and the
Viceroy of EGYPT should at one and the same
time be our guests argues well for the future of
the Eastern populations. Seeing is believing, and
a sojourn among great free peoples, enjoying all
the advantages of cultivation and science, must
be more instructive and more convincing than a
hundred oral representations. The Viceroy of
EGYPT has already shown a liberal and enlight-
ened spirit, and has on all occasions mani-
fested a friendly spirit towards this country.
The Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs yesterday waited
upon him to present an address from the Corpora-
tion. His Highness, who spoke in Arabic, made a
brief but interesting address, chiefly remarkable for
its sound practical sense. After expressing his
gratification at the warmth of his reception in this
country, the VICEROY said that it would be his con-
stant aim to foster commercial intercourse with
this great city, because it was by commerce that the
East must grow and prosper. Such a sentiment
proves that the VICEROY, at least, has not so much
to learn in political economy as some of our Euro-
pean rulers ; and if he will act upon this enlight-
ened and judicious principle, we have no doubt that
we shall soon see the resources of Egypt greatly
increased, and her vast capacities more fully de-
veloped.
