One Of the transparencies displayed in
Broadway during the Presidential recep-

"Show me the man who makes war or
the Government and fires on its vessel,

have al such arrested, and when tried and
convicted, by the eternal God, would have

ANOTHER DECIsIoN.--The UuitedStGtes
Treasurer has decided that the only pro-
section to the owner against the payment
of a bond or 7-30 note that may hsye been
stolen, is by entering a coveat at the Office
of the Secretary OF the Treasury. Cou
pons are as negotiable at all times as a
bank note, and VIII be paid in tho hands

in the case where it is known they have

Some years ago, Mr.. Horace Greeley, IN
sentence Of sentaGous contempt, charac-
teri2 i Mr.. Henry J. Raymond as "the
little villain" The designation stuck,
not because Mr. Greeley applied it, not be-
cause it was spitefuIn but simply because it
was true In the use Mr.. Raymond is
making of the post Of Chairman Of the Ma
eionaI Republican, Committee, he demon
strates that a lapse Of years has wrought
no change iu his composition.
The Philadelphia Convention has pro
duceI one legitimate resuIt-it has in
creased the market value Of Confederate
bonds in London. The money barons Of
Europe comprehend what the Presidents
Policy really means. Restore the rebels
to power in the government, and why
should not their bonds Appreciated The
only sure thing is toPass the Congressional
Amendment. That makes a finish Of the
rebel debts.

The Supreme Court and the President.

Mr.. johnson, in his reply to the address
of the Philadelphia Convention, described
Congress as "a body hanging upon the
verge of the Government" words unmis-
t4kably insulting to the American people
whom Congress represents. II the Senat-
Urs and Representatives Of New York,
Pennsylvania, New England, the Middle.
States an4 the West, constitute body
hanging on the verge Of the Government,
the President, who is but one man, must
hang outside Of it,
This insult 10 the people has Leen fre-
oueuty repeated by Mr. Johnson, and IS
caused by the assertion Of their right to
determine the reconstruction Of the Union
by legislation, in opposition to Mr.. Johu-
sons claim to settle all questions by Exec
utiye action. Morally, this Is question
as to who truly represents the people, the
Senators and Representatives Of p States
or the one man who las become President
by an accident.
Congress, unquestionably, far more thor
oughIv embodes the nations prll ciPles,
and is in far more intimate relations with
the people, from the fact that it represents
:tl the shades Of opinion in every district
Of every loyal State. The business Of the
President is TO execute the laws, aud not
to make them. In this matter Of recon
struction, he Is, not only morally, but le-
gally, bound to carry out the decisions Of
Congress.
In the oft quoted case Of Luthur agt
Borden & How, U. S. Rep P. l J, which
arose out Of the 'Dor war in Rhode Isl
and, it was held by the Court (page 42)
that, under the fourth section Of the Con
sriturion, the United States should guar
tee to every State republican, form Of
government. &c, "it rests WtN Congress
to decide what government Is the estab-
lished one in the State. For as the United
States guarantee to each State a republ.-
can form Of government, Congress must
necessarily decide what government IS es-
tablished before it can determine whether
it is republican or not. And when the
Senators and Representatives are admitted
into the councils of the Union, the author
ity of the Government under which they
are appointed, as well as the republican
character, is recognized by the proper con-
stitui0naL amtoritV, and It's decision IS
limiting on eeery other depertnsent ofzte
Eo0erameng, and could not be questioned
in jndicial tribunal" :"
This decision embodies the long estab-
lished popular and judicial opinion Of the
jurisdiction Of Congress, and it suggests
that Mr.. johnson, who talks SO much about
the Constitution, would DO well to read it.

A FEW SLIGHT ERRORs.-A story is
going the rounds of the Southern pa
pers and the Democratic papers North,
that II "Yankee school marin" in Mo.
bile, named Miss Sarah Jones, had
married wealthy negro named Sam
uel jackson. The Mobile Register and
= d"crtiScI makes few slight corrcc-
Il0ms in the story. 1t says:
Wodo not wish to DO too particular
oD0"L small matters, but there are sew
er3l mistakes in the above that ought
10 DO correctcd; as, for example:
The namc of the yankee school
marin" is not Jones.
not Samuel Jackson.
The negro S.noL wealthy,
The bridegroom is not Il negro.
The bride is not Il white woman.
Tho Yankee woman is not a "school
mnrm."
The Yankee woman is not married.
The school marin is not married.
The negro is not married.
And finally there has been no mar
riagc in Mobile, of either Samuel Jack
son or Sarah Jones, or of IL Yankee
school marin, or Ofany negro at all to
any white woman at all.
We are sorry to spoil a good story,
but must tell the truth.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The Hernld's
correspondent, from Matamoras, the

cent revolution, which displaced Car

Governor, is traced to the general dis
like toward tho former manifested :by
all the Mexicans in the city, caused by
having formerly beseiged the city for
over three months, and his American
prOclivities, behaving, during his re-
cent command in Matnmoras, gathered

A Dispatch from PhiI. sheridan.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3l.-It appears the
following dispatch from Gen. Sheridan
was not published with the others on
tho New Orleans riot:
H'DQ'Rs. Mil. DIV. OF THE GULF,
New ORLEANS, La, AUG. l3, 'G6. J
To Gen. U. s. Grant, Washington, d. c:
The Military Board, called by General
Baird, to investigate the occurrences in
the city of July so, is progressing as
rapidly as possible. see in the papers,
by reports of an official character here,
that nm attempt was made to cast blame
on the military for not being present on
the 18th ult. There could have been no
object in its being present except to
prevent the police from perpetrnting re-
voting massacre. Its absence, for this
reason, regret. From accounts of my
own scouts, who saw the affair from
first to last, from my own officers, from
disinterested and faithful persons, be-
lieve that at least nine tenths of the casu-
nlties were perpetrated by the police
and citizens, by stabbing and smash
ing in the heads of many who had been
already wounded or Killed by police
men. (Signed) z. II. SHERIDAN,
MAJ. Gen, Commanding.
