President johnson ana the New Com
grsss-signs Of ana irresponsible Con-
nIct.-
The elections being over, the politicians on
all sides are beginning to show their hands.
For example, we have in their issues of yester-
day some very broad hints from both the Iri-
bu,e and the Times of this city touching the
insuperable difficulties in the way of the recog-
milton by Congress of Southern reconstruction
under President Johnson's programme. One
of these journals represents the radicals and
the other the so-called conservative wing OF the
republican party; but in this case, although
they start out upon different roads, they are
evidently aiming at the same object and to
arrive at the same destination.
The organ of the radicals, indignant and
Disguised, takes very spitefnl view Of the
results of President Johnson's Southern resto-
ratives. They are all quack medicines, accord
ing to Professor Greelcy's analysis. President
johnson has been too liberal with his sugar
plums lie is pardoning rebels by reg imenis,
but he has punished no one for treason. In
his kindness " 10 crafty the South he has been
willing to postpone justice to the negro;" and
what has he gained? In Louisiana Eve find
the negro downtrodden; men are imprisoned
for speaking their opinions about negro suf-
frage; the worst features of the slave laws are
revived" and /" military popinjays like Fuller
ton are rapidly rushing their State back to the
terror and gloom of the ante-rebellon period"
In Mississippi "we find not only a refusal to
allow negroes the rights Of jurors, but even the
rights oil Witnessed" In South Carolina q the
rebels almost put Wade Hampton into the gu
bernatoral chair" and only adopted the con-
stitutional amendment by compulsi0n." In
North Carolina Worth is elected Governor be-
cause Holden was the choice OF the Presi-
DENT "what one State,r asks the Tribune,
after this summing mp, "whst Southern
State Inns accepted all the Presidents
propositions, Not one and for this reason
only, that the rebels will not concedc one jot
or little towards demonstrating a Union that
does not eternize slavery and strengthen the
power Of the Shareholders" The conclusions
are reached at length that "the first fruits of
reconstruction promise most deplorable har-
vest. and the sooner we gather the tsres, pillow
the ground again and SOW new seed the
better"
Now, If we may accept this ~ an authorized
foreshsdowing Of the radical programme it
means that II Is their purpose to reject all the
work in the way OF Southern reconstruction
accomplished under President Johnson's in
structions, and to begin with new schedule
in some general law Of Congress. OF course
this programme involves the rejection OF al
the members elect from the late insurgsnt
States. although they may have fulfilled all the
Presidents conditions Of restoration. In .
word. Greeley is out for ian irrcpressible con-
nict' between Congress and the President
Let m now turn 10 the Times, the snointed
organ Of the Seward-Weed wing Of the New
York republican church. In leading article
on the qualifications Of southern readmission

rides both horses. He holds not only that the
ls.s rebellious States must depend for their
restoration upon Congress, but that all they
