The President md the Lnyv---Pro.
grcss of the Conflict.

Some of the Democratic defenders
of Mr.. Johnson object to the degree
of Importance which is attached to
the suspension of Cabinet officer
and the removal OF district command
ers. In ordinary circumstances, the
objection would be we'll founded.
Suspension and removal would then
be mere personal matters, which the
President might manipulate without
hindrnnce or criticism. At present,
the case is far different. And tho
course of the President CHALLENGES
scrutiny and ccnsuro, because avow-
ediy undertaken in pursuance of Il
policy antagonistic to Congress and
the wishes of the country.
Mr.. johnson, indeed, has left no
room for misapprchcnding his posi-
ton, or the purposes OF his acts. He
has convinced the most incredulous
of his determination to renew at all
hazards the contest with Congress,
AID to avail himself OF the powers
which its forbearance has left in his
hands to obstruct its plans and en-
barrass its work of reconstruction.
This fact it is which invests with
significance his present line Of action.
Stanton, Sheridan, Sicklcs-all have
been set aside as so many obstacles
to the will of the Executive. Pope
and Howard arc to suffer for the same
reason. The Cabinet is to be re-or-
ganized on n Democratic basis, in
pursuance of tho same general
scheme. The intent is unmistakable.
MIR. johnson proposes to do what he
can to defeat the aims of Congress.
These personal changes are simply
incidental to his policy, and are i'm
portant as illustrations of the dis
honesty, the bad faith, the utter lack
OF prudence and principle which cha
racterize his course.
Henceforward the issues OF the
contest can neither be concealed nor
misrepresented. Though Mr.. John
son swear by the Constitution every
hour of the day, the country will
understand that his professed zeal
for the organic law is q prctext in
tended to hide the pro-rebel proclivi-
ties OF his policy. y.-Ne,o Yo,'h; Times.
