Signidc ant Revelations from Washing
ton-Boih Houses OF Congress A Ini osi
Unanimously Opposed to LIncoln's Re-

Unanimou ously Opposed to LIncoln's Re-
.lr~ tton.
IN we'll informed sources, entitled to the
highest respect, we have the significant infor-
nation from Washington that an overwhelming
majority of the republican members of both
branches Of Congress arc opposed to the re-
election Of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency;
that his adherents in the Senate, including
General Jim Lane, have been reduced to a cor
poral's guard. and that the number Of his de-
votees in the House is correspondingly small.
1t has also been revealed to us that this anti
Lincoln republican majority in both houses
will leave no stone unturned to secure new
republican Presidential candidate, and that
there are many good reasons for the belief
that this great object will be achieved.
The Presidential problem thus assumes an
entirely new phase. In striking into the domi-
nant party in Congress, new elements Of great
power are developed, and, somewhat to our
surprise, on the anti-Lincoln side of the ques-
tion. We are not, however, left in the dark as
to the causes of this strange reaction at head
quarters. The leading republicans Of Con-
gress have had searching trial of Abraham
Lincoln as President. They know him inti-
mately and thoroughly. They pronounce him
failure, and utterly incapable to grapple sue
cessfully with the grave responsibilities Of his
position. They believe that his reelection,
instead Of ineuring the salvation Of the coun-
try, will bring inevitable ruin and confusion
upon it. Hence the paramount object with the
controlling majority OF the republican party in
both houses of Congress is to set aside Mr.. Lin
coin, and to set up some other and more salts
factory candidate for the succession.
But how lie this TO be done' In most Of the
States between New Hampshire and California,
through their State conventions or State Legis-
latures, the ruling maorities Of the party in
power have pronounced In favor Of Lincoln.
Mr.. Secretary Seward and bis good man Fri
day, Thurlow Weed, have 30 far signally failed
to manipulate New York TO suit their purposes;
but outside OF New York IL Is not improbable
that the Lincoln engineers have already So
cured majority for the Baltimore Convention.
This convention meets on tie 7th Of June In
the interval the administration will probably
take care that no unduly exciting victories are
achieved by General Grant. How, then, is Mr.
Lincoln's nomination to be prevented. The
convention Is packed, the day is 6xed Secreta
ry Chase and the Treasury, General Grant and
the armies Of the Union, one hundred thousand
oficeholders and q countless legion OF army
contractors and dependents are all in the Presi
dents hands; and how, then, are his arrange
ments for another term TO be superseded
By the very simple process Of postponina
the Baltimore Convention till August or Sep
tember this object may be gained. We ven
ture the prediction, too, that the convention
will be postponed, Il not by the National Com
mittec appointing IL, by the convention itself
ter assembling at Baltimore. a. the fata

WHAT ARE THEY CRYISG ADouT?-We notice
that all the republican papers are abusing
Judge Barnard for simply saying that one Of
the editors of tie Evening Post was practising
miscegenation regularly with black woman.
But suppose this be true, do not the repub-
lcans justify. approve and encourage just such
practices? And suppose it to be false, ought
not the Post editor to thank Barnard for giving
him good reputation among the members OF
the Loyal Leagues! So, in either case, we see
no reason why the republican papers should
raise this hubbub. What arc they crying
about?

Our COMMON SCHOOL SYsTEM-THoRorGH
REFORMATION NEEDED.-The disgraceful abuses
which have 80 often been exposed in the man.
agement of the common schools Of New York
are matters which call for the timely and reso-
lutte action Of the Legislature. Our public
schools, in the hands Of a lot of wretched ward
politicians, instead of being a great public
benefit, are very rapidly being converted into
an irrcdeemable public nuisance This arises
from the fact that the men who, through politi-
cal influence, succeed in obtaining control over
the schools are, morally and Intellectually, un-
fit for the Offices to which they have aspired
What is to become OF our children and of the
whole rising generation if their future destinies
are to be controlled by the vicious, the igno-
rant and the immoral! We have already had
occasion to allude to the system OF wholesale
immortality developed in the affairs Of some Of
our schools, and to the improper intimacy which
has been shown to exist between certain COM
missioners and some Of the female teachers.
The result Of such conduct as this is that the
children who frequent the common schools
acquire, at an early age and in an almost i'm
perceptible manner, the seeds of vice and
crime which in after life almost always ripen
into violent crimes against society. The only
remedy for this state of things is that the Legis
laturc should interfere to change the orgauiza-
ton and functions Of the Board of Education,
making its form and powers as much like those
OF the Police Commissioners as is possible.
Mr.. Bene diets bill. introduced into the State
Senate short time ago, proposes to deal
with the matter by changing the mode Of elect
ing the Board of Education and other school
officers. This is very good move; bat until
the influence for evil of the petty ward poll
ticians be entirely extingushed, and the school
system be made 60 conform to the principle of
the Police Commission as nearly as possible,
there will be no hope for q sound and thorough
reformation of existing evils, which is now SO
greatly needed.

The TINES ON THE RENosnNATIoN OF LN-
ooIN.-When politicians despair Of securing
desired aim by fair means they never hesitate
to resort to trick or artifce. In the Times Of
yesterday is long article, based upon the very
questionable authority Of Neal Dow. endeavor-
ing to show that the denomination or Lincoln Is
an event. the rebels view with infinite dismay
and that they would regard his reelection as
finishing blow to their cause. The Times then
labors to prove that Lincoln should be re-
elected for the vigor, wisdom and discretion he
has exhibited; for the wonderful manner in
which he has succeeded in keeping Union SEN
timent compact; for having combination OF
qualities which no other public man could have;
and for "his war policy, developed through
years, and thoroughly tested" Now, all the
facts and the whole argument on this question
are upon the other side Neal Dow to the con.
trary Notwithstanding The rebels hope for the
reelection Of Lincoln. They wait and watch
and pray for such a consummation. They will
hail Lincoln's reelection as the sure harbinger
of their future independence. And why should
they nots They know that Lincoln cannot com.
mand majority Of republicans in Congress
for denomination. And, they ask, who ex-
cept such a bungler as Lincoln would have
permitted this wretched war to have dragged
its slow length through, three long, weary yearss
The imbeclity OF Lincoln; his confused, clumsy,
vacillating war policy; the vast corruptions
and alarming extravaganza Of his admDistra-
tioni his well known partiality for smutty
jokes even amid the stern realities and horrors
ofwar, and his selfish, scheming, 'pettifogging
manipulations to secure the succession to him
self, are matters which, while disgusting the
mass Of Union people, have penetrated even
the rebel lines, and given the rebellion strength
to totter along until brighter days shall
come upon them. These, they aver, will come
if Lincoln should be reelected; and hence the
rebel leaders would be "fools as we'll as
traitors" if they failed to hail such an event as
the precursor of the hour of their deliverance.
No. The arguments used by the Times in
favor of the reelection of Lincoln should be
used in favor Of the election Of General Grant
1t is such man as General Grant, or some
other brave general, who has
Proved the Union doctrine orthodox
BY giving rebels hard blows and knocks
the rebels fear. They fear and respect brave
and victorious warriors, manly and gallant
foes, and do not care the snap Of . twig for all
the Old Abe Lincolns that could be packed
between Washington and Timbuctoo We hope,
by exposing this trick of the Times to make
Caesar or Napoleon or Cromwell out Of
Uncle Abraham, that we have saved that print
occasion for much future modification.

Charleston Convention OF April. 1860, after
wrangling till May. adjourned over, at the point
OF the final rupture, to the 18th Of June, and
from Charleston to the cooler climate of Balti-
more. The power Of the majority OF Congress
over this question is still great, though
considerably diminished by its concessions to
the Executive
By the last Congress, in view Of the possible
contingency Of an opposition majority in this,
everything was granted that the administration
asked for to carry on the war, and much more
than was necessary in the way Of military
financial and political powers. The present re-
publican Congress has reasons enough to de-
plore those folles. It was found that these
extraordinary powers conceded to President
Lincoln have been used by him not 80 much
to put down the rebellion as to secure another
answer to this indictment.
What can he say Has he not uselessly sac
riiced the lives of hundreds Of thousands of
our brave soldiers In his blundering military
adyepturess Has he not thus squandered away
thousands of millions of treasure, Has he not
rather encouraged than attempted to check the
frightful corruptions, spoliations and waste
fulnes1 Which, in high places and low, have
marked the management Of this war; And
what is he now doing with General Grant.
The General as we are told, has had nothing
to do with tho reorganization Of the Army of
the Potomac. He was kindly relieved Of that
trouble by the President and General Halleck.
The act of Congress reviving the grade of
Lieutenant general would 1t was hoped, effect
the removal of Halleck; but he is still retained
at the Presidents elbow, to assist him in manag-
ing Grant. This, too, is an item in the bill Of
complaints which the majority of the republi-
cans in Congress have made up against Abra-
ham Lincoln. In assumptions Of power in
claptrap cant and low cunning, they have found
him sort Of backwoods imitator OF Crom-
we'll, but utterly incapable Of initiating old
Oliver in anything else
We cannot be far out of the way In the
opinion that the party In Congress which pro-
nounces its Executive a failure holds the
balance of power against him, and will exer-
else it to some purpose. We count upon the
shelving Of Lincoln through the postponement
of the Baltimore Convention.
