LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1866.

The Republican party has gained a temporary
triumph in America, and although the result is little
more than was expected, it is significant of the
strength and determination of the antagonists with
whom President JOHNSON has to deal. The Mora-
vian, from New York on the 7th, tells us that the
Senate had passed the Civil Rights Bill over the
Presidential veto by 33 to 15, and that it was believed
that the House of Representatives would do the
same. The division took place after a long and
excited debate, during which one Senator declared
that the enforcement of the bill would lead to war,
bloodshed, and disunion. President JOHNSON, who
knows something of the social and political relations
between the two races in the Southern States, has
always maintained that the violent assertion of
political equality between white and black would
tend to resuscitate the rebellion, and would probably
produce a war of races. To these considerations,
however, the Republican party are openly indifferent.
They hold the South, they say, by the right of con-
quest, and can rule it as they please by force of
military law without troubling themselves about
constitutional forms of government. • The PRESI-
DENT, with unanswerable logic, reminds them that
the war was waged to prevent the rupture
of the Union, so that by now refusing
to admit that the Southern States form part of it
they are virtually acknowledging what the Federals
throughout have refused to recognise—the indepen-
dent existence of the Confederacy. President
JOHNSON has no mind to play the unscrupulous
despot, and knows his countrymen too well tobelieve
that as a rule muskets of a, standing army would be
very long tolerated. He Buds himself at the head
of a great nation, governed professedly at least by
an established constitution, and he does not see
why a time of exhaustion and confusion, when
the wounds of the war are not healed, and
the problems left behind by the struggle are
unsolved, is to be chosen for altering the frame-
work of society, and abandoning those landmarks
of Government which his predecessors, in calmer
times, thought it necessary to adhere to. Again
and again he has made his voice heard above the
tumult, deel'l •
eg that the maintenance of martial
law was incompatible with the preservation of the
civil liberties of
the People ; that the Constitution
respected the rigilt, of states and of individuals, and
that it was his intention
to abide by its doctrines,
and govern according to
its provisions. His re-
construction policy, looked
on coldly in many
quarters, and bitterly denounced in
others, has at
least the triumphant argument of succe to' oppose
to its adversaries. One by one the Southern States
have given in their adhesion to the Federal Govern-
vent, have ratified the Constitutional Amendment,
and agreed to the unconditional abolition of slavery.
There has been no attempt to resist the Govern..
ment, no open manifestation of discontent or dis-
covery of secret intrigues. The South is gradually,
though sadly, settling down, having thoroughly
abandoned the hope
of asserting its de-
dependence, at least, in this generation.
Their reward, according to the Radicals, is to be
the violent interference with the old cherished doc-
trine State rights, which is a recognised portion of
the4merican Constitution. The issue at present is
in reality between the Radicals in Congress and the
public feeling of the country. If the Senate and
the House of Representatives are hostile to him, the
emuueon- sense and good feeling of the people
