PHrLApEIpHIA, August 26. = Prepare
tons are on foot for the reception of the
President on Tuesday
Gen. Meade yesterday issued orders to
thirty military commandments IN this
department, directing them to render
appropriate military honors to President
Johnson. snhasnze Ht
General Vaughn will be commanding
officer at New York city and harbor, and
Gen. Devassey commanding officer at
Philadelphia. t@
The city troops will act as escort to the
President, duty they have performed
on every occasion of Presidential visit
to Philadelphia since l176.
A meeting of merchants is called for
tomorrow to adopt measures for the
Presidents reception. 1t will be held at
the Exchange, the Board of Trade, as IS
alleged, having refused the nse OF their
rooms for that purpose.
It is believed that the city authorities
will take no part in the reception no
meeting of the Common Council having
been called.

GEN. ]. Z. B. Stuart.


The military correspondent OF the
London Times, writing from Powlowltz'
pays the following indirect compliment
to the illustrious cavalry leader of Nir-
ginia tt
Were there such cavalry General on
the Austrian side at present as the Con-
federate General Stuart, in the American
civil war, he would have a grand chance
to win a glorious stake by a raid upon
Brunn. The King of Prussia is in that
town at the present moment, and only
two battalions of infantry and a squad
ron of cavalry have been left as his
escort With him are Count Bismark,
Gen. Vol Motke, the War Minister, Gen.
Won Room, and large staff of officers.
If these could be captured, or even one
alone, OH what different terms could
Austria sue for peace. But it would
need man of Stuart's intrepidity TO
seize the prize, and the capture would
not be effected without severe cost; but
to secure the King would compensate for
any sacrifice.

/ Mr.. JOHNSON s last communication
to Congress demonstrates not only
that we have a Bourboniamongst US,
but, by a. strange, turn Of fortune,
he occupies the Presidential chair,
The whole document shows that he
has learned nothing and forgotten
nothing. We are again 5nauseated
with his stale and improbable talk
about my restoration policy" not
withstanding the people have said
very emphatically that they did Mt
like it,,and would have none of it.
He repeats what he said in his mes
sage oof December 4th, 1865, as to
what he had done for the restoration
of States, viz; Appointed Provisional
Governors, elected Governors and
Legislatures, Senators and Congress
men, opened Courts, re-established
Custom Houses and Post Offices, be-
sides debating to the rebelious States
what they should do tosgain admit

did,. # Having progressed thus far, !"

does the Constitution authorize the
appointment of Provisional Govern,
ors? In what article and section
does it convey power to the Execur
tive to dictate to State Conventions
and Legislatures the kind of action
they must take upon disputed ques-'
tons? 1t is very certain the Presi-
dent had exhausted his constitution
al authority long before the assem-
bling of the Thirty Ninth Congress,
and had it been in his power he would
have gone farther. Fortunately for
the country, another power had i'con-

engaged in rebellion That they
have not been admitted is the fault of
- the other States" Tennessee accept
ed the Constitutional Amendment and
was at once admitted. The other
States, partly at the, instigation of
the President himself, rejected the
Amendment and are still out in the
cold. They may thank Mr.. JOHNSON
for it. The language of the Presi
dent indicates that he regards all the
Representatives and Senators elect
from the late rebellious States as loyal.
The people differ with him materially
on that point. The acceptance of the
Constitutional Amendment by those
States win necessitate an entire new
election of Congressman, for that
Amendment DISTINGUISHES nine4tenths
of those now clamorous for admis-
sion to Congress from those States
The people recognize this fact and in
