Mr.. johnson is indicating his rcpu-
tation for obstinacy. lie has resolved
to rid the government of all who refuse
to support his policy, and has begun
with Mr.. Stanton. Warnings and re-
monstranccs have been disrcgarded.
The danger of doing that which cXhib
its the Executive in All attitude Of I'M
placable hostility to Congress is uH-
needed. lie insists upon his right to
throw down the gauntlet, and must take
the consequences.
How long other members Of the
Cabinet can afford to share the odium
which attaches to Mr.. Johnson's pre-
sent course, is a problem which their
friends find difficulty in solving. To
sympathize with the principles pro-
lcsscd by the President, and to con
ccde the propriety Of the views on
which his policy has until recent
Iy been supposed to rest, is one thing.
70 divide with him the responsibility
of q gratuitous and Improbable war
upon the measures of Congress to take
issue with the Republican party on the
fundamental points of its policy, and
identify themselves with the enemies of
that party and of the Union-is another
and totally different thing. Tho latter,
however, is undoubtedly the position
which every Cabinet officer must hold
who, actively or implicitly, makes him
self in any manner a party to the pur-
pose manifested in the suspension Of
Mr.. Stanton. Are Mr.. Randall and
Mr. Seward prepared to encounter this
responsibility Are they willing to be
suspected Of participation in u course
which aims at the decapitation Of tried
servants and champions of the Union TO
crafty the malignity of Mr. johnson,
and give effect to the suggestions Of the
Jerry Blacks from whom he now seeks
counsel? These inquiries are echoed
by thousands who, amid the conflict OF
the last few months, have never lost
faith in the Unionism of these depart
mental chiefs.
Meanwhile Gen. Grant administers
the affairs Of the War Department. An
attempt will be made to invest the cir
cumstancc yith significance wholly
unwarranted. Through many channels
It will be asserted that Gen. Grant !
compliance with the call indicates bis
approval Of Mr.. Stanton's removal, and
consequently Of the policy which exacts
that proceeding. On this head, fortu-
nately, there is no room for misrepre-
sentation. Gen. Grant has not allowed
his habitual reticence to leave the
country in doubt as to his position on
the great occasion Of difference between
Congress and the Executive. He sup
ports the plan of Congress, and IS IN
favor of its prompt and vigorous en-
forcement. The Copperhead counseiors
of Mr.. Johnson will derive no succor
from Gen. Grant. Ills acceptance oi

B, H. Hill, Of Georgia.

Ex-Governor Brown, Of Georgia,
says the Riehmond lfhig, is replying
To- the windy filminations of ex-senator
i. Ii. Hill, Of the same State, against
reconstruction, lie charges him with
haYsng Sbetrayed his constituency in Che
Georgia Convention 5y voting for
secession after having been elected as
a Union man, being induced thereto
by promise of an election to the
Provisional Congress. While the Con-
yention was in session Mr.. Hill, then
a member both of the Convention and
Of the Provisional Congress, made
speech TO the people, in which he said
The North would not fight. There
would be no war. Bat if the North
should be SO foolish as TO 90 into the
contest, there never was a people on
earth 50 well prepared for it as We
were 1t should be an 0g0eSSice Uar.
The war Sh0uid be cuiried into Africa
and when the cities of the North were
laid il ashes, and the country devastated
and laid waste, then we should find that
the people OF the North were the ones
to ask Tor terms and sue for peace" He
pictured the rising glory Of the new
Contedcracy, and went on to say that,
while this became more compact aud
secure, disintcgration would come as
sure as fate upon the old Union, and
they would seek entrance into this.
And he very graciously added that if
they came humble enouyh, as 'hewers
Of wood and drawers Of water they
might come"
1t strikes US that Que Who was so
amuch mistaken in his opinions then,
aud 50 far wrong il his predictions,
might properly be more distrustful Of
himself, Of the inlaIlibility Of his opin-
ions and the wisdom of his counsels
uow
We remember very we'll that when
The Confederate Senate held its sessions
in this city, this Georgia Boancrgcs was
considered its wordicst, windicst and
least influential member. A descrip-
tion Of him by WiglaIl, which will not
bear repetition in print, defined with
striking aptness the lack of force with
the continual desire TO attempt, that's
kept him all the time lumbling at qucs-
tions before the Senate. The only way
in which he could have served the Con-
federacy then was with musket--
which he never carried The only way
in which he could benefit the South
now would be by silence, Of which he
seems incapable.

the duties Of Secretary is temporary and
formal, aud win neither blind him to
the mischief breeding tendencies Of the
Presidents action nor impair the efficacy
of the backing he gives to Sheridan,
Pope and othes objects of Executive
hostility.
Other attempts will probably be
heard of designed to damage Mr.
Stanton's departmental reputation, and
produce an impression that the sus
pension proceeds from other than po-
litical causes. But this manRuYre will
avail Mr.. johnson nothing. 1t is too
late to push this or any similar pre-
tence for the fact stands out sharp
and clear that Mr.. Johnson found no
fault with Mr.. Stanton until the posi-
tive adhesion of the latter to the policy
Of Congress brought down upon him
the vengeance Of his superior. No
amount of ingenuity on the part of the
President or his friends will hide or
alter the complexion of the act Of
yesterday, OK of the programme into
which it enters. Mr.. Stanton is re-
moved, not for maladministration, or
corruption, OF any wrong doing of any
sort, but solely and simply as pun
iShment of his sturdy Unionism, and
his unyielding antagonism to the pro
rebel policy of the President
Nor will the disclosure OF a pretended
plot, in which the periurcr, Conover,
figures conSpicuously, divert public
attention from the renewal Of strife
which Mr.. Johnson is precipitating, or
enable him to arouse sympathy as the
victim Of conspirators. The Attorney
General, we think, would not have
suffered himself 70 give even the SEM
blance OF sanction to the trumpery story
which his Assistant, Mr.. Binckloy has
paraded so Intellectually. Ii IS not
unlikely that Mr.. Ashley, in his zeal for
impeachment, held intercourse with
Conoyer and others equally destitute Of
character; but Gen. Butler, with all his
elasticity OF conscience, is too shrewd
lawyer to place himself at the mercy Of
convicted Scoundrcl whose oaths are
not more trustworthy than his testimony.
Ashley and Butler, Binckley and CONC
vcr--what have these names TO do with
Mr.. Johnson's mad crusade against
Congress and the officers, civil and
military, who support its measures ef
reconstruction? The question which
agitates the country is not whether Mr.
Ashley is choice in his condolences, or
Mr.. Butler scrupulous in his controEer--
sizes, but whether Mr.. johnson is or is
not abusing the trust reposed in him,
and perverting the power he wiclds TO
purposes inimical to peace and
restored Union, It is in its relation to
this question that the suspension Of Mr..
Stanton possesses significance and
peril.
