GRANT AND JOHNSON.

Not satisfied with removing Sheridan,
says the North american, President j hn-
son has taken step further in his policy
of reaction-nay. We may say several steps
IIc has appointed Canhy to relieve Sick
les, and he has substituted Hancock foI
Thomas in command at New Orleans. =
Worse still, he has annulled Grants in
structions TO both Sheridan and Thomas
Grant ordered Sheridan to report person
ally at Washington before proceeding to
his new command in Missouri. johnson
oyerru!cs this, aud directs Sheridan to
proceed at once to his department, an in
reference altogether unnecessary, and
without any other Significance than the
determination of johnson to oppose and
overrule Grant at all points Next, Grant
had ordered Thomas to carry out all the
orders made by Sheridan, and johnson
has just reversed this.
These acts display an animus in the
President that is not to be mistaken He
has made up his mind that the Congress
lonal policy of reconstruction shall not
succeed. While pretending that he is
disposed to enforce the laws he is taking
.he most determined steps to prevent their
enforcement. He acts upon the dogma
that the Constitution vests in him the sole
Executive power. But lie ignores the
fact that while the Constitution clothes
him with the power to enforce the laws,
it gives him no power to anuul or alter
them. His orders amount virtually to an
attempt to destroy the force Of those laws
We toreSaw that Johuson's object in
appointing Grant Secretary al iatcrim
was to have .here an officer who by his
oath of Office was bound implicitly to obey
him. This seemed to gain force from
Grants acquicscence in the removal OF
Sheridan, acains. his own will 1t IS now
brought directly home to Grant whether
he will allow himself to be made insiru>
meatal in defeating the objects Congress
had in view in the passage of the Recon
strucIion acts, OF whether he viii take Il
bold stand against the President and re
fuse TO acquiosce IL the orders issued to
him. If we may credit the news receiv-
ed by telegraph, Grant has taken the
ground that he is the executive head in
military affairs that Congress has cx
pressly clothed him with power to arrange
all matters in the five military Districts
and that if he does not execute the law
he will be amcna5lc to Congress for the
failure.
We need not say that our sympathies
are wholly with Grant and against John
son. We cannot doubt for a moment that
the people, without distinction OF party,
will sustain the patriotic Chiettain who
ended the war so gloriously. Certainly
they should do so, and if they 90, howev-
er serious the situation may now seem,
the triumph will rest with Congress in the
end, and Johnson and all his reac,ionary
crew Will be defeated and disgraccd.

trict, from the Harrisburg 1eicgraPh:

that the Republicans Of the various coun-
ties are making the very best nominations
Cor Assembly in the several districts of
the State, and to those already annornc-

Ii. II. WILSON, of the 10Th Pennsylva-
MIA cavalry, and Ii. s. WHARTON, Esq,
have been unanimously nominated from
the Huntington, Miffiin and Juuiata dis

Capt. WILSON fought bravely through
the late war, and was severely, and at one
time dangerously wounded-the greater
portion of his jaw-bone being shot off,
but by the aid of a skiilful surgeon, he
has been so far restored that the wound
can scarcely be obseryei. The Captain
is man Of decided ability, and will
make a useful legislator.
Mr.. WHARTON represented the dis
trict last winter, and has proven himself
an honest and faithful legislator. Nc bet
ter selection could have been made.

PRooF OF MARRIAGE.-A bigamy
case was tried in Portland, Maine, last
week, the accused party pleading tina; he
had not been married to the woman re-
ported to have been his first wife No GER
tlfed evidence Of marriage was produced,
but simply the fact that the defendant
had lived many years with the woman, by
whom he had family, Judge Dickor-
son charged the jury that marriage may
be proved in various ways. 1t may be
done by a II, ,arriage certificate, by the tcs-
timony OF person who was present at
the ceremony, or by the admission and
acts of the party accused. If the re-
spondeut lived with the woman, and ac
knowe1ged and recognized her as his
wife. aud held her out to the world as his
wife, then thai may be proof that there
was a marriage. For a party is not at
liberty so to conduct himself living with
another holding her out to the world as
his wife, and then to say he was not mar
red to her.

REPUTATION Is the coming danger o!
the hour Right and left the Democracy
are showing their hand. Under the pre-
tence of immediate payment by food Of
greeubacks or Of taxation by ininical State
Governments, they are all over the coln-
try laying violent hands on the credi, o.
the nation and sapping its toundations.-
The most direct manner in which repudi-
alton can now be effected is though TIE
courts by series Of hostile decisions
against the national currency and sccuri-
ties. Nothing can be done through Con
CESS or the State Legislatures as long as
they are controlled by large Union maj
tiles. But 70 the courts we must look -
They must be guarded with watchful Fl
deity. The best safeguard is TO Ell then
with lawyers who honestly and conscien.
tiously believe that our Government cur
rency is constitutional. 4 lawyer who
honestly and conscicntiously believes our
notes or bonds, or any Of them, to be un
constitutional, is at least a questioaabl,
candidate a, such crisis. Credit is ;
flower Of too tender bloom to be tampereC
with. We can afford to run no risks in
this matter. and We cannot too easily take
alarm.

Evidence OF Mischief.

There arc some men whose presence
cannot he noted anywhere without cxcit-
Ing the most painful suspicion Of impend-
inc mischief. Andrew johnson is one cf
these characters but he is exceled in
this characteristic by a man with whom
he has made alliances, aud whose pres
cncc in the National Capital as one of the
personal confidential advisers Of the Pres
ident is calculated to ill the minds of all
men who know the individual to whom
we alludc with the most fearful apprchen-
sions Of danger to the country. We al
ludc to Jeremiah S. Black, of PepsAl.
vania, than whom no more arrant dema-
gogue, cunning schcmer aud corrupt poll
itician lives in any civilized country ID
the world. With great and powerfui
intellect he is animated by the most sor-
did and selfish passions. He is emphati-
cally bad man, bent on mischief for the
love of evil. Disappointment in his pub
lie career, feeling that he has been ioiled
in reaching great position, and knowing
that he is not trusted by the people, Black
delights in situations like that which
johnson has created He is one Of those
creatures at whom the world only gets
glimpse when i'll omcns startle lis gaze
lie sinks far beneath the surface when
patriotism and manly honor prevail anG
looms up only when fraud is to be perpe-
,rated or when the national honor Is to be
disgraced. Such men as Black have
nothing TO lose, because they posses little
in the shape of noble reputation. They
are always more prompt TO enter a bad
than enlist in a good cause, because IL
engaged IN the former, they are aware
they could achieve little reputation. Jerry
Black is now the hand servant of Andrew
Johnson. He writes all Presidential vc
toes He manufactures Johnson's yitu
peration. lie reviscs all Cabinet delb-
erations. lie gives the color of legality
to Executive mons;rosities. He invcnis
sophistries with which to enable the Pres
ident to make futile answers to the arcu-
msnts Of patriotic and pure minded sol
dies lie is the buzzard Of the White
House. Truly the nation may be regard
ed as in danger while Black rules in tho
kitchen of the Executive mansion.

1UF RATS GNAWIEG.

r,,o e..t irstinct of the rats just before they
Ioovo tbe sinking ship is TO get INTO tne pantry
o,d cargo themselves. We have such a pne-
,,a,,,onon in Washington now. The AdmlnistIa-
,;o', r,to have figured out just five hundred ana
Gst,, Gvo davs of feeding excluding impeach-
,, chances. which, to say the least are not
- had now a. when Congress adjourned. Ii
tLov were even sure of five hundred and nifty
FIVE days, it would be well enough puV tney
oro NOT very certain of more than hundred.
So they assail the Treasury with vlndictive
and hungry eamestness. Uncle Sans Oaken
chest was never so persstently gnawed They
have clambered around it, over it, up the sides,
across the ends, along the top, trying every
bolt, stave, and lock. They have snapped
at Mr.. McCulloch with yenOmOus en-
ergy. If they could drive him away
the box would be easy prey; but the whacks oil
his cudgeI are too severe, and rats have whack-
able backs. Grant is as bad in the War
Office. The Indian claims, the cotton claims,
tbe soldiers bounty claims-the claims for
everything but honest wOrk-that Grant WON'T
settle are innumerable; and so the rats gnaw'
and scratch, and bite, and snarl at the acting
Secretary. Even Randall, who, with all his iauts,
is honest, and between whom and jerry Black
is said TO be a brOOding row, on account OF
certain claims that Randall docs not "see," Is
being pursued by the rats
AS for Mr. Randall, we care little We
think Grant made a mistake in entering the
War Office, but we trust he may remain there
for the present, for economy's sake. AS to
MIR. McCulloch, we feel that his removal would
he calamity. McCulloch is about as bad a
politician as can be, but he is a good finance
minister, does his duty, and keeps the rats ont
of the Treasury. The country should demand
his retention.
New-York tribune., 1867-08-29

1t is difficult to please everybody. One even
ing paper says, "THE TRIBUNE, with its great
circulation, has done more than all other
Journals to excite hostility against the Ad-
"ministration,n and wonders why the editor
did not go to Austria when the President made
the offer. Our great circulation IS one
reason, at least. Another evening paper thinks
THE TRIBUNE is trying to create a panic, ana
warns us that it will resist bitterly. That eX-
clusively-circulated sheet said we were trying
to create panic about the Philadelphia Con-
ventiOn last Summer, and resisted. We know
what its resistance amounted to. The three
tailOrs of TOOley- were small compared TO IL.
A third evening paper-a sort OF sloppy con-
cern, with the general impression OF pawn
brokers' shop-cries out that we are crazy
indeed, generally crazy" A fourth evening
paper, which since its beginning has never had
an opinion, except about tapes and hominy,
suddenly finds out that THE TRIBUNE hardly
knows what to say, but cries out Tor war
upon everybody and everything" In the
mean time, as the first of these newspapers IN
Inmates, our great circulation steadily con-
tinues to become greater.
We shall war upon wrong until we triumph.
We have never been in contest that we felt
so sure of winning as the one pending with
the Administration. We believe the Admlnlstra-
ton to be nimical to the country, and we purpose
to continue the battle until justice triumphs.
Patience with President johnson has ceased to
be a virtue. Silence in the presenceI of his
treason would be "A crime. So we must keep
up the war upon him until he is pOwerless for
| evil, either by his own act or by that of the
people. We want the line to be drawn. We
ask no quarter, and purpose to give none.
Let our friends organize everywhere, and pre-
pare for the October and November struggles.
We can make the canvass Waterloo success
if we begin early and work without ceasing.
