Of q long editorial says the country turns

It has sat in Richmond and day after day
witnessed the military strength of the
Confederacy dwindiing away and though
Lee has appealed to il and imptored it to
use the great military strength Of the ne
groes for the defense Of our country, yet to
this date of the session it has wholly failed
and refused To adopt this measure for the
salvation Of the country.
Again, 1t says no convention is now
wanted in Virginia. A convention will
not fight, but it might run away-it might
capitClate. When that sad alternative
shall come Gen. Lee is the proper conven-

No convention is needed, for what does

ton or the other, and there Ii no longer any
intermediate "halfway house Of diplomatic
rest"
In the list Of standing committees proclaimed
by the Speaker we find that Mr.. Thaddeus Ste
vens as chairman is limited to the Committee
on Appropriations, where he can't do much
mischief, and may be very useful. Mr.. Morrill,,
IS the head of Ways and Means, is good ap-
pointment; and so, too, "a we learn, Is Mr..
Pomeroy, of New York, as chairman on Bank
ing and Currency. This appointment was
properly due to New York. and we dare say
that in conceding 1t the Speaker selected the
best financial man he could find in our rural
districts in the absence of satisfactory repre-
sentative from this metropolis.
The last business proceeding Of the House
was a refusal to suspend the rules for the I'D.
mission OF a resolution giving the members
elect from the excluded States the privileges Of
the floor. We may have to-day some sction
on the Stevens resolution. Meanwhile, to the
people of all parties throughout the North
who believe in the reconstruction policy OF
President Johnson as the best for the Union
and tho national Treasury, and for law and
order. industry and prosperity in the South,
we would submit the propriety Of public meet
ings for the enlightenment Of Congress. A
grand mass meeting in this city, to begin with,
of Union men Of all parties who have faith in
the Johnson programme, would at this juncture
have good effect at Washington. Cannot our
Union citizens who desire to restore the South,
aud to strengthen our national Treasury by
the restoration of Southern industry, get up
such meeting? The dominant party in Con-
gress evidently need such instructions fresh
from the people.

GENERAL BUTLER UNEASY IN Hrs BorrLE.-
II Is reported that General Butler has deter
mined to make an effort to get out of the bottle
in which he has been corked up BY General
Grant, and that this Is to be done in an ex-
haustive reply to General Grants late conclu-
sive report There can be no objection to this
undertaking on the part Of General Butler; but
we fear that II will DO labor in vain, and that
he will continue tightly corked up In his bottle.
The simple and established facts of history are
too much for even a Massachusetts, lawyer; but
as General Butler feels uncomfortable in bis
bottle let him get out IL he can.

This is the mighty question Of the day. Before

application Of the Monroe Doctrine to Mexico.
or of our foreign relations, sink INTO insignif-
canoe. To know who are tho "traitors to

time. The Irish republic Tin America) sprana
into existence like Minerva, full armed ana

The world gazed in wonder at such porten-

WHERE ARE THE UNION MEN?-Down TO tho
close of our late aulumral State elections all
parties were for the Union platform and Union
policy Of President Johnson. Where are they
now? The Chcvalicr Raymond, with his mas
ter, Thurlow Weed, and the rump of the New
York republicans, with all their ine promises,
have surrendered TO Thaddeus Stevens. They
have no backbone. The radicals have captured
them without firing shot. Where, then, are
the reconstructed New York democracy? What
has become Of the Haslin platform? Where is
Dean Richmond Where is Johnny Green
And last, though not least, where is John Van
Buren,, with his pledges to stand by Andy John
son to the close Of the next Presidential cleo
ton? Now is the time for him to rally bis
friends in support Of the Union and the Union
policy of President Johnson. The elections
are over, and the time has come for dividing

TIE Bill FOR THE RELIEF or Mrs. LINCOLN
Mr. Wentworth, of Illinois, introduced in
Congress on Wednesday last bill in
relation to Mrs. Lincoln, the passage Of
which is required by the dignity as well
as the generous spirit Of the country. It
provides for the payment 80 thu widow Of
the late President Of the full salary that would
have been due for his four years. term OF SER
vice. In paying this salary tho country has
an opportunity to make one material recogni-
ton Of the services of the great martyr to the
public cause; and it should certainly not fail
to provide for those who lost their only sup
porter and protector in the same bereavement
that robbedthe country Of its chosen leader. II
is said that the estate left by Mr. Lincoln is
practically great deal below the figure it has
been estimated at, and that the widows por-
ton of this il not sufficient to maintain her in
the position in which every lover of the coun-
try would desire TO see the lady who had boon
the honored wife of one Of the nations greatest
men. Let the bill 60 through by all means,
and let Congress remember that 10 do this
piece of Justice, gracefully il must do il at
once.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1865-12-12

why some mere politician should DO put in
that place over him
President Johnson has an opportunity TO
apply the same rule to the Custom House that
Mr.. Lincoln did to the United States Treasury
in appointing Mr. McCulloch. The Office Of
United States Treasurer has heretofore been
filled by politicians, mostly by men who had no
knowledge, either theoretical or practical, of
the complex question of finances. An accident
was appointed to the position which he now
holds simply because there was no politician
available. The wisdom of the selection has
shown itself beyond all doubt His recent re-
port reveals a knowledge of the resources of
the country, its financial career from its COM
mencement to the present time, as well as
thorough comprehension Of the question of
government finance in all its bearings, both in
theory and practice. We have not had pub
lie man during the last thirty years who can
compare with him in practical financial know
ledge or who was so complete master Of the
subject Events have shown that both Secre-
tary McCulloch and Mr.. Clarke, Comptroller Of
the Currency, are the right men IN the right
place The Treasury, under their auspices, is
administered as it should be, from financial
standpoint, and not as a political machine, as
heretofore. Now, the Custom House is an inn
portant auxiliary to the Treasury Department
It is from that source that large amount Of
revenue is obtained. AS we have shown, acct
dent placed Mr.. McCulioch at the head Of the
Treasury, and now an accident has given Presi-
dent Johnson an opportunity to remove the
Custom House Of this city out Of the political
arena and place it in charge Of man of the
same practical character as Mr.. McCullocb This
opportunity ought not to pass by, for another
such chance may never offer ITSELF If, how
ever, the President does not see @. to commits
sion Mr.. Clincb, at all events he should let him
discharge the duties until tho developments in
Congress on restoration show who are his
friends and who his enemies.

BN WUD ON TAxEs.-We notice that the
Hon. Bin Wud, or the Stale Legislature, is
opposed TO heavy tax on tho immoral and do
moralizing theatres. We also presume that he
ia opposed to heavy tax on lotteries. This is
very singular; for il is well known fact that
he is in favor of high tax on candidates
Put the Hon. Bin must not begin TO wear his
legislative honors too soon. The gossip about
that twenty-five thousand dollar check, from
the Jake Thompson assassination fund, has
been revived, and there is some talk OF expel-
ling the Hon. Bin rs warning to New York
secessionists. He had better be quiet. there-
fore, until he knows where be stands.
