New York Democratic primary election. The
conservatives of the House of Representatives
are mere playthmgs in the hands OF Stevens.
He is amused when they speak in support of
the Administration, for he has tried them, and
knows that at the crack Of his whip they will
be dumb and submissive Treaoherous or tenn
Porizng Coppe1heads and conservatives have
less respect for each other than for Stevens
and thus he uses the one faction or the other as
occasion may serve him. The radical faction
rule Congress because they are united, bold
and aggressive Their purposes may be bad
tneT measures NAV be vicious and revolu-
tonary; but in their fight they show those
qualities of courage, skill, tenacty, and energy
which invariably command respect, and give
even to bad cause more or less of popular
Thus the President has failed In Congress to
secure q party capable OF accomplishing any
thing. His professed and noisy adherents have
their own axes to grind, their own selfish or
paluy party purposes to serve and they are,
like Josephs coat, of many colors. Hence
against the Radicals the opposition elements of
Congress are as powerless as so many squads
OF bushwackers against the advances of a regu-
lar army. Hence the necessity OF bold ag-
gressve movement from what Stevens calls
the other end of the avenue.p President
johnson must advance his standard, in view of
an appeal from Congress to the people. He
can 40 this by a reconstruction of his Cabinet,
from the Secretary OF State down to the Attor-
neY-General. Let him try the experiment, aud
give us a new Cabinet from the leading heroes
OF the war-soldiers sailors, and civilians
and the Union war party Will rally around him
and his policy. THIS Is The way to commence
an effective organization OF National Johnson
Union party, and in view OF a wholesome revo-
luton in our I II elections. Meantime we would
suggest the propriety and advantages of john
son Union meeting In this metropolis, to
strengthen the Presidents hands, and to en-
courage him to take the initiative against his
enemies, not forgetting the decisive step OF a
complete reorganization OF his Cabinet.

The Law of War.

From the Daily Nea1s
We learn from a city contemporary that DR..
Bluntschli Heidelberg Professor, has Just pub.
lished a treatise on the Modern Law of War;
which is to be translated by DIR. Lieber, and is
destined possibly to figure largely 10 those dis.
cussions OF abstract rights to which wars always
give rise. But the experience OF the last four
years has greatly modified our estimate of the
value OF treatises upon the rights and duties of
beligeIen Men are very wiling, in time of
peace, TO admit that Deligerents have certain
rights which ought to be Tespected; that they owe
certain duties to their antagonists which they are
bound by every obligation of honor to perform.
As long as war Is mere abstract question. q
nice respect is Cheertully accorded TO the
rights OF persons and property, and the law
of nations seems TO be a very beautiful sys-
TEN, based on the immortal principles OF trdth
and Justice, radiant with the light OF humanity,
and glowing with catholic benevolence. But
when actual war sweeps over the land, the law
OF nations turns out to be nothing out sounding
brass and tinkling cymbal. It's theories are
too hne spun Tor everyday use, and they are
quietly put away until there is no further
practical use Tor them. The international
Ihemis is very tine to look at when she has the
field to herself but when Mars Bellona, and
the rest OF the amiable crew take their Trend
Carnage out tor jaunt through the country,
poor little ThemiS runs away, and her apples,
like those Of Sodom, turn to dust and ashes.
chIi's work that the Articles OF War drawn up by
Doctor Lieber in 1868, Tor the use OF the armies
OF the United States, iOrm at once the basis and
the model of the work. If this code of DR..
LebCrs authorizes and iustides the wholesale
plunderng of private property, the Wanton
destruction of crops and agricultural imple-
ments the cOnflagrationS, murders, and yet
darker deeds of lniamy, the cruelues practised
on women and children; in tine the countless
atrocities which marked the progress OF SheI-
man, Stoneman. Mllroy, Hunter, and other
Generals, Doctor BlunJschli's book will pro-
bobby create a sensation in Europe. We
suspect, however, that DR.. Lieber's code, which
is embalmed in General Order No. 100, pub
lIshed by the War Department in April, 1868,
must have been designed rather for show than
use; Tor the German Doctor-bless his innocent
heaIt-commences by sayipg:-"The law of war
has become more humane in the last wars OF
Europe and America" A little further on, the
Doctor, anticipating the possibility of German
war, tervently hopes chat the belligerents will
follow the example Of America" Alas for
Germany, il they do! No. good Doctor, pray
rather, ii you are humane man, that tney
shall follow rather the example of the Cossacks.

Our Fail EIec tiOns The Coming Political
Revolution.

FIOW tHt LtTutN'
The public mind of the Northern states is ripe
for political revolution in our approaching
lall elections. The people are ready They
need only the active organization OF a national
johnson Onion movement TO bring them into
line. The enthusiastic johnson meeting held
in Philadelphia on Saturday evening last, and
the spirited popular gathering on the same night
aud the same platform at Westminster, Mary
land, of Republicans and Democrats, show how
the tide is drifting. The people are spontane-
ously falling in with President Johnson's policy,
and they need only little active work in the
way of organization to put an end to the tactious
and iupractcable dolngs oil the present Con-
gress in the elections for the next.
CONGRESS- has been nearly six months in ses
sion, aud what has it doCe In the way OF South
| ern reconstruction and restoration? 1t has
! given us the scheme of the Joint Committee Of
| Fifteen which Is now before the Senate-a
| scheme the manifest purpose OF which is the
| exclusion of the lately rebelllous States from
the coming Presidential election, and their
| indefinite exclusion from tine Two Houses. This
scheme is ingeniously covered up with the lead
| ing measures OF President Johnson's policy; but
| the issue remains bstdntially the same. The
| Presidents policy is Southern restoration to a
voice IN the Government; the policy of Con-
| gress is Southern exclusion, This Is the issue
which will be submitted to the people in our
approaching september, October and November
elections; and upon this issue, we say, the pub
lie mind of the North is ripening for great
political revolution. '"

The Last VOlley.

Col. John S. Mosby visited Lcesburg
last Monday, on professional business
Because he happened to wear cape in
these piping times of peace which had on
it several brass buttons with the coat Of
arms of Massachusetts on them, the Fede-
raj Captain in command there declared his
purpose to arrest him and cut them off.
Being unwilling to submit to this treat
ment, but disposed to do anything in rea-
son to avoid breach of the peace, the
Colonel, at the suggestion of friend, con-
sented to leave the burg. The Captain
with four troopers and sixty infantry, en-
deavored to intercept his retreat, but was
too late, by several moments, to effect his
object. When the Colonel rode upon the
crest of hill he looked back, and saw the
doughty warriors make furious bayonet
charge upon haystack, which had served
to conceal him from their view when he
made his exit. The spectacle was so lu-
dicrous that he could not rcpress an incli-
nation to whoop. lie did so, and at the
same time raising his hat, he waved part
ing adicu. The irate Captain acknowl,
edged the compliment by ordering a leader
volley from sixty guns to be fired at the
Colonel. The bullets whistled closely bu
harmlessly past him, and made music which
reminded him of by-gonc years of strife
We believe the Massachusetts button il
the symbol of treason, and are somewha
surprised that the Colonel was so disloya
as to retain one on his cape at the risk of
liberty and fe.- IPeureaton Inoer.

Look at ItAThink OF 1t.

Harpcr's Weekly, an ultra radical paper,
is responsible for the following revelation,
which will show the people what the aboli-
ton whistle has cost them in money, leav-
ing out of view the terrible destruction to
life, morals and material prosperity:
The public revenue from taxes, direct
and indirect, during each of the fiscal years
1866 and 1867, is officially estimated
a. $525, 900, ,oOO-say SIG SO per head Of
the total population of the United States
being 33 per cent. more than is paid by
the population of Great Britain and Ireland,
and about 100 per cent. more than is paid
by the people of France: 1t is clear that
when Jefferson Brick, in his next Fourth
of July orations, refers to the "worn-out
despotisms" of the Old World, it will be
but prudent to omit the usual sarcastic al
lusion to 'tax-ridden people"
