said, "if any man ever did, occupies nobly and
worthily great historic position. The des-
TIMES of millions of the human race depend
upon him, and he rises fully to the height of
the occasion. Men whose nerves are shaken
by the holiday politics of such country as
ours will stand aghast at the apdacity with
which President Johnson confronts his adver-
saries" Such is the European verdict, and the
country may thus see that, viewed from pro-
per distance-a distance that enables one TO
take in its full proportions and relations to the
state Of the countryside Presidents speech is
not less great and statesman-lke than we de-
clared It to be from the first.

The PRESIDENTS SPEECH IN ErRoPr-The
English papers praise in the strongest terms
the Presidents speech delivered on WASH
ington's birthday. That speech has put be-
fore the world the true. clear view Of the
state Of parties here and has extorted, for the
leader OF the people, expressions Of the most
earnest admiration from quarters hitherto con-
tent TO cavi and sheer al all that originates on
this side the Atlantic. The speech that the
radicals denounced as horrible, vulgar, unfor-
tunate and outrageous that some Of the Prcsi-
dents friends even were inclined to excuse
and explain, and that the HERALD declared 10
be greater and finer than anything in Demos-
themes, receives from Europe the highest pos
sible need OF praise for Us energetic simplicity.
and for its sentiments is declared 10 be I" NOT
unworthy the great founder of the American
republic" Such q speech, says the London
Times, "has not often been heard in America 49,
speech entirely free from tawdry ornament
or ambitious metaphor, hut conveying the
hrmest determination and the mos, enlightened
principles in the plaiDest and simplest Ian
guage." And the same paper says In another ar
ticle :-"There is stamp Of reality and proud
self-conGdence in this appeal to the sovereign
people which obliterates the effect Of some in

equal courage and dignity" Mr.. Johnson, II -

CHEAP CoAI--The consumers of coal have
great cause for congratulation over the pros
poets of cheap fuel during the coming season.
The dealers and monopolists, II is very evident,
have had their day, and have exhausted their
ingenuity and power to keep coal up to the
standard of high prices, and they must now
succumb to the influences of events which
favor the consumer. The wages Of workmen
at the mines have been reduced from four TO
five dollars per week, the canals are about to
open with freights fixed far below those Of last
year, the Reading Railroad Company have
revised their tariff Of charges for Transports
ton, and have ascertained that they can carry
coal at much less rate than they have hereto
fore been doing; but whether the fact that the
Pennsylvania Legislature has just given au-
thority TO new company to gridron the coal
regions with rails and forbidding a greater
charge for transportation than two and half
cents per mile has had anything to do with
convincing the Reading corporation that they
could carry coal for less than double that price
we are not advised. The effect OF these cir
cumstances combined has been seen in the
recent auction sales OF coal at Elzabethtown,
where a reduction of three dollars per ton in
two months has been submitted to.

Spaniards II is suggestive of suspected weak
ness on their part and unexpected strength
and skill on that of the allies. A few
heavy draws on the depleted Spanish ex-
chequer, will soon force Spain to abandon the
present war against the allied republics of
South America, as she was forced to abandon
that against st. Domingo-in disgrace.

these, 1t will accomplish browning act If it
will give us the Board Of Revision or Control.
Under an administration of that kind taxpayers
will know that responsible and capable men
are supervising the expenditures of the city,
and are prepared to account for every dollar Of
outlay of the public's money. We repeat, there
should be no delay, much less obstruction, in
the passage Of the bill before the Legislature
giving to the city Of New York head that all
taxpayers must respect, like that Of the pro-
posed Board of Revision. Let no member halt
in the performance of this good work.

FRENCH IRON-CLADs FAMURE--ANERIcAN
IRoN-cADs FOR THE PACGIc.-Late accounts
from Europe report the iron-clads in the French
navy to be utter failures, and of no use what
ever, except to remain stationary in port
This has proved a source of extreme annoy
ance to the French Emperor, who, being at o
loss upon whom to vent his wrath for these
blunders, makes some of his ministers, who are
entirely ignorant on the subject of iron-clads,
feel the weight of his imperial displeasure.
But Napoleon can console himself with the
reflection that so far as iron-plated men-of-war
are concerned the British is as badly of as the
French navy. Neither of their iron-clad ships,
so far as experimental trips have tested them,
can Withstand gale at sea. This is an unfor-
tunate result; and when compared with the
success of the Americans In constructing their
Monitors and iron-plated vessels, shows q very
striking advantage in favor of the latter. Both
France and England have been for years en-
clads, while we have built them as we wanted
them, and have never made decided failure
yet Our people hardly knew that we had
iron-clad vessels until some remarkable naval
achievement signalized the fact. Very few
people were aware of the existence of the Ori@-
nal Monitor until she had conquered the rebel
rain Merrimac; and when we some time ago
presented statement showing that the Ameri-
cans had in number more iron-clads than those
in the navies of England and France combined,
and carried metal Of heavier calibre than either,
the account was scarcely credited. Nearly all
our Monitors and iron-clads have made success
full trips up and down the dangerous Southern
coast, and one Monitor the Monadnock, is now
well on her way to the Pacific coast, and has
thus far--having left Rio Janeiro at last re-
ports-made a highly satisfactory and success
full passage. We do not, however, hold to the
propriety of sending Monitors upon so lengthy
voyage when it is easier to build them on the
Pacific coast California furnishes in abundance
all the material for building iron-clads and Mon
itors, and other war vessels She has plenty of
iron, coal, copper, timber, &C., and San Fran
cisco Tor Mare Island) furnishes a splendid site
for the erection Of foundries for the building
of this class of vessels. By establishing q
navy yard on the Pacific coast for this purpose,
upon proper scale, we shall be placing our
selves far in advance of the Powers of Europe
when the contest arises, which will come be-
fore many years, for the mastery of the COM
merce between Europe and the East Indies by
the way of the American continent and the
Pacific. Before that time it may be that both
England and France will learn something
about that of which each, France particularly,
seems at present to be obstinately and per-
sistently ignorant, to wit the proper mode OF
constructing iron-clad vessels. Therefore 1t is
wise for the United States to look few years
ahead, and prepare for what may then be de-
handed on the Pacific coast and on the Pacific
Ocean, q formidable iron-clad squadron.

THE LOAN BILL.

The Loan bill, defeated on the 10th inst and reported
back with amendments passed the House yesterday in
its modified form by vote of SO to 53 Under the pro-
visions of this bill, modified the Secretary of the
Treasury restricted in his efforts to return specie
payments. He cannot retire than ten millions Of
the currency during the first six months eapsing after
the adoption of the bill by both Houses and not more
than four millions per month thereafter. 1t is esti.
mated that by the full exercise of this power the
Secretary retire the entire issue Of green
backs in about nine years. The bill thus pre-
vents the retirement of than eighteen Or twenty
millions during the propos ed OF Congress- when
