Forney OH the Message.

The President himself, in full view OF his
accountability to the people, declares that the
work Of restoration is complete, SO far as he
could control it, and that the people OF the
South are ready to obey the obligations and
penalties they have incurred, and are pre-
pared to show their sincerity by their works
The testimony of Lieutenant General Grant
in support OF this important declaration Is
Enthusiastically frank, explicit and truthful
We certainly ask no better witnesses. They
are not alone competent to speak, but album
dainty worthy of belief. And this is i'm
pressively true in view of the fact that nothing,
either in the message or the accompanying re-
port looks to a surrender Of principle as under
stood by the friends of the Government and
laid down in the platform of the National Y nlon
party, or attempts to postpone or TO eVadc
the great duty of defending, protecting and
befriending the freedmen of the South The
whole exhibit is manly, straightforwnrd, ana
full. That it has been. criticised is to De ex-
pected in these days Of novel complications
and novel remedies but that any statesman
should believe that it does not come up to the
full measure of patriotic expectation is almost
incomprehensible. We hail it as the monu-
ment from which to date the restoration OF
the conquered States to Il indicated Union,
and the true historical begin ming OF Repub-
lie without a Washington Chronicle.
Mr. Forney, like Mr.. Greeley, tries to re-
concile the message and tho Republican plat
form The very earnestness with which they
try to prove that the President has done moth
ing to displease the Republicans is sufficient
evidence that, Cufiee being in the case, hi
/ has literally made the wool fly

WHAT Mr. Stewards PRocLAxArION SIaSI-
FlEs-The proclamation of Secretary Seward,
officially declaratOry of the amendment to the
Constitution in abolition OF slavery, has, at
this crisis, an additional significance, as being
an affirmation on the part Of the Federal Ad-
ministration Of the existence Of the southern
States, as States, within the Union. In that
respect it was harbinger of the Presidents
message to the Senate. The proclamation ana
the message are bOmbshells in the hadIca!
camp. They define the Presidents policy OF
reconstruction beyond any chance OF miscon-
ception. MIR. Stevens and his faction have
been OutmanHuvred, and q breach mas Deen
accomplished between the Executive ana the
Radicals through which the Southern STATES
can pass on to their legitimate position III the
POLITICAL household. Mr.. johnson Is now posi-
lively committed to the enforcement OF INC
right of the south to Congressional represen
tation, and the Select Committee OF fnteeh
might as well send in their report AZ once
and ask TO be discharged from the consl6ela-
ton Of q foregone conclnsion.-Ns'o York Ne.e g.
The Nescs gives Mr.. Seward q hint, IN anotnoa
article, that the Southern people, from wnose
sympathies only one question-that OF slave
ry-eyer separated him, will prooaDiy ialiy W
his support and elect him to the PRESIDENCY
!" And Democrat though we are, 1t VIII reJoice
orr heart as q lover Of the peace OF the cOun'
try. and Of the institutions Of our int1eIs'
when n Reconstruction ON the basis Of the COZ
stitmfionl shall have replaced our politics WIN
IN the SAFE limits Of constitutional party.

Greeley ON the Presidents Message.

President johnson yesterday transmit ted to
the Senate deeply interesting reports recently
General Grant General Howard and General
SchurZ accompanying them by brief message,
wherein he recommends an early restoration
of the States lately in rebellion to all the rights
and privileges which they forfeited by at
tempting to break up the Union.
We find in the text Of this message no ade-
uuate reason for Mr.. Summers denunCfa ton
Of it. If the President had demanded of Con-
gress that it act on his judgment rather than
it's own then he would have acted unwarrant-
ably; but he has simply given his own
view of the existing situation, with his rea-
sons for suggesting particular course, he de-
serves neither denunciatiOn nor Obloquy.
Two great ends are now in view: /. The
restoration of the States lately in revolt to
their former position in the Union 2r Inc
protection of their freedmen from future OPP
preston and outrage. We are in favor of both
these. We are opposed TO keeping the South
ern States indefinitely in the condition OF con-
uuereChprOv inces or territories we are III favor
of requiring and providing guarantees for the
protection and rights OF their freedmen. Ihere
may be those who fancy that they are favor
ing the freedmen by calling for the execution
of the rebel chiefs, the cOnfiscatiOn OF rebel
property, and the perpetuation of Southern
pupilage-or rather, vassalage: but we believe
there is a kinder and surer way OF reach'nG
the end we aim at. We see not how we couid
help the freedmen by making war either on the
President or on the rebels, who have thrown
down their arms. Where we find either III
fault, we do not hesitate to say so; but We
iudge that the true interest of the blacks is tC
be subserved by cultivating the kindliest re-
latiOns with both.
We trust there will be developed i'll Congress
the suavity and practical sagacity required &c
secure at once an early restoration OF tn.
Southern States and a perfect and perpetual
guaranty Of the essential rights Of manhood Il
their freedmen. And we still hope to see Con
gress and the President cooperate in securing
these beneficent and nowise inconsistent ends
/ Hope against hope, Mr.. Greeley. Your party
! is divided in twain; and all your diplOmac,
cannot restore its integrity.

Grand National Railroad From Washington
10 New York.

Quoting the bill in regard to railroads, which
we published yesterday as having passed the
House of Representatives, tho Washington
Chronicle remarks
"Great satisfaction and discussion have
been excited by this passage, and some persons
have conceived it was intended to have n sph
cial reference to one or two particular rail-
roads, whereas it was simply an enunciation
of a clear and general policy of vast impor-
lance. 1t is believed that Mr.. Stevens will in
trOduce bill for direct line between Wash
ington and New YOrk-sO direct and level as
to avoid every local interest of any diversion
from its main course TO help any other road.
That it will cross leading railroads on the
route 1t must traverse, is to be expected but
that it viii be SO surveyed rs to look to the
promotion of any particular interest will SIM

in view and to forget the public interests. 1t

near the mouth Of the COnestOga, and will
therefore run through one Of the richest sec

take more than seven hours. This Wilt fact,
