efectually applies. They realize In the first
place that we have just gone through long
war for the preservation Of the Union, and that
the President Is trying to secure to the coun-
try all tho benefits Of that struggle by cement
ing the victories gained in battle, and making
them permanent and enduring. They also see
that his policy leads to the immediate adjust
ment Of all foreign complications, our debt,
currency, and oil the evils which they now de-
sire corrected, and, at the same time, adding
TO the glory and increasing the power Of the
republic. With this picture before them in all
its vivid colors, what " i'll the great mass of the
people care for the numerous distractions
daily presented by the radicals in Congress or
elsewheref All that kind Of talk will be &C
cepted and considered IS mere dodge to de-
lay restoration and prolong our difficulties at
home and abroad for selfish purposes. Mem
bers of Congress will find that the only ques-
ton that they will be called upon to
meet will be, are you for or against
the plan proposed by President Johnson?
All efforts to shirk this direct question by side
issues and long essays on some abstract ques-
ton about the bravery of negro soldier, the
bitterness of this or that sec essionist, will
amount to nothing. Andrew Johnson has pre-
sented to the people stronger and clearer argu-
ments than any that have or can be brought
against him. At the best those on the other
side cannot rise above the title of special
pleadings, while his have come in solid mass
The longer Congress persists in opposing his
policy the greater will be the unpopularity of
those who compose that body, and the more
sweeping the reaction against them which is
sure to follow. The President has furnished
practical mode for the solution Of the great and
vital questions of the day. Now let Congress do
its duty as well, and by the return of another
anniversary of the birthday of the nation the
people, from one corner of our land to the
other, can on that day not only celebrate its
birth, but the complete and perfect regenera-
ton of the nation.

France md the United states-The Vague
Promises OF the Emperor.
France and the United States have mutual
respect each for the other. We felt the fellow
ship OF France in the gloomiest period of our
history, and it will require many bitter expert
ences to erase from the memory of the nation
the fact that the French were our allies in the
war which gave us existence as an independent
people. We have had the sympathy of France
and we have in turn sympathzed with her in
all her glorious aspirations and attempts. We
have regretted her errors and grieved over her
misfortahes as earnestly as we have admired
the magnificent heroism of her sons. Indeed,
the lives of the two nations have reacted upon
one another in so marked degree that it
seemed al one time to have established polit-
ical twinship between us. French blood was
and the influence that her participation in our
struggle had upon France enlarged her nature,
opened her eyes to her position and power, and
enabled her in turn to throw down her own
tyrants and-tll intoxicated with the glorious
draught of liberty-to take her position as the
leader of the free nations of the earth. War there
fore could not be kindled between these two na-
tons without doing violence to the traditions and
sentimspts of both; and whatever form political
complications may take, however the peace
between America and Europe may be broken,
there Is no people whom our countrymen less
desiN TO meet in battle than the people of
France.
But there is limit 10 the forbearance that
these sentiments would impose. We want plain
dealing from the Emperor on the withdrawal
of his troops from the Mexican territory. While
we respect France, and are quite content that
her pride should be spared as much as the I'M
fortunate nature of her position in Mexico will
permit, we also have to assert our own dignity
as great nation, and cannot submit to any
in dilemma in Mexico-that is q national
calamity; but they must remedy that who
brought her there. II is her calamity, not
ours; and if there is to be any expense of
national dignity 1t must be the dignity Of

The STREETS AND THE CONTRACT SYSTEM
Providence has come to the aid of the street
cleaning contractors, and we hope these dainty
individuals, who stated recently in their circpr,
lar that their contract did not compel them to
clean the streets when snow fell, will take
advantage of the opportunity and remove some
of the accumulated filth from the public thor.
oughfares. II the cutters of the city had been
clear yesterday the rain would have done more
to clean the streets than the contractors have
done in three months The idea that the con-
tractors should not be bound to work while
the streets are under snow is absurd. That
is precisely the time their services are
most needed. II gang Of several hundred
men had been set 10 work on Broad
way the night of the late snow storm,
they could have had every particle Of il carted
off before morning, and then we would have
been spared the disgraceful condition in which
that street was on Saturday last-a river o.
mud, utterly impossible for anything except
1atboats. But we suppose the contractors take
into merciful consideration the health of their
employees. They might take cold IL they had
to work in the snow. 1t makes little difference
that the public, and even delicate women who
are compelled 10 20 out in all weathers should
be obliged to wade through slush and water,
but the contractors, IL seems, are too tender OF
the health Of their workmen to expose them
TO the damp.
The fact Of the matter is that the system OF
cleaning the streets by contract Is an unneces-
sary nuisance. There should be special de-
partment for that purpose, like the Fire De-
partment or the Police Department. How
quietly and effectively the new Fire Depart
ment works. There may be fire almost next
door, and you know nothing Of IL until it ap-
pears in the papers, so admirably do the paid
aremen perform their duty. 1t is the same
nor arrest thieves by contract The Park Com
missioners have their roads cleaned by their
own people, and they are always clean and
in good condition. In Paris, during the
heaviest rain storms, gangs Of men are 10 be
seen on the Boulevards sweeping away the
slush as fast a. II Is made. II is the same in
the principal streets in London; while In New
York, under the present contract system, wet
or snowy weather instead Of being used a. an
opportunity for cleaning the streets, Is made
an excuse for not doing II BY our dainty con-
tractors. We want bureau Of responsible
street cleaning commissioners who will attend
to the business themselves, and be amenable
to severe public censure II they do not give us
clean streets all through the year. We would
then know exactly whom to blame II we were
afflicted with dirty streets and epidemic dis
eases.

Such fellows Is the editors OF the RichMoaI

that the North had the best of the fight, and h
content to trust 10 the magnanimity of the vic-
tors in adjusting the question Of restoration.
Then, looking at the Northern side Of tho
picture we find that while such victorious
Union champions as Generals Grant, Sherman,
Meade, Sheridan, Logan, Hancock and many
more of the same sort, and the great mass OF
their heroic hosts, who were in the midst Of the
asrcest fights, are in favor Of fair and honor.

Stevens, Wade, Chandler, in Congress; sucb
immaculate military leaders a. Carl Schurs

Half Shell Downing-neither Of whom eyee

to devastate or oonfscats the South, wipe OUT
