A New Discovery.


PRESIDENT JOHNSON has discovered an extern
sive mares nest in the assumption that, if the
present sO-called State Governments of the
late Rebel States are superseded by legitimate
organizations gotten up in accordance with the
provisions of the acts of Congress, the old debts
OF the old Southern States that existed before
the war will become lawful charge upon the
Government of the United States. The Presi-
dent must be hard pushed when he resorts to
such a.device as this to influence the action of
Congress. The State Governments that con-
trdcted those debts perished at the commence
ment of the Rebellion. They were revolutonized,
and Rebel State Governments, foreign to the
Constitution and laws of the United States, set
up in their places. These Rebel State Govern
ments were as illegitimate as the Rebel Con-
tederacy itself. They in turn were overthrown
by the armies of the United States at the close
of the Rebellion. Next came the present
organizations, illegitimate, unconstitutional,
and revolutionary, set up by President John
son. They are as foreign to the Constitution
and the laws as were the Rebel State Govern
ments They are the unlawful work of the
iOoAuOhV1 III GIIS aSSuulpJlOu VI powers
expressly forbidden to him by the Constitu-
tion. Congress now proposes to assist the
people of the late Rebel States to organize
legitimate State Governments. There have
been none such there since the Rebellion com
menced. Ever since the overthrow of the old
loyal State Governments revolution and usur-
patton have ruled. Now we are coming back
to law and order. The debts under considera-
tion were lawfully contracted by the Southern
people, and by them they will have to be paid.
We have no idea that the people of any of the
Southern States will attempt to repHdiate these
debts, though evidently invited to do so by
the President; but should such an attempt be
made in any Constitution framed under the
Reconstruction act, that would be good ground
for refusing the State admission into the Union
under such Constitution. The supposition
that by the overthrow of Mr.. Johnson's illegal
organizations the general Government becomes
responsible for debts contracted blythe Southern
States under lGpfm Governments years ago,
long before the Rebellion, is too absurd to be
cOmbated by serious argument.

Public Baths.

The ordinance forbidding boys bathing either
in the Delaware or Schuylkill, as at present
enforced, is decidedly defective. We have as
much regard for modesty and all that as any
one, but we are at a loss to see why, after
nightfall, boys and men should not enjoy a
bath in certain portions of our river front.
AT present every urchin who dares to venture
into what is necessary to health and enjoy
ment is liable to be arrested and mulcted in
offends. 1t is essential to the preservation of
health that the people should have opportu-
mites of frequent bathing during the summer
months, and nature has furnished ample facli-
ties in supplying us with two large rivers.
What we need is not an absolute interdict to
all such aquatic sports, but how they should
be enjoyed. If the law were to be so amended
as to allow bathing BEFORE say s o'clock in the
morning in certain parts of the river, the
object of the ordinance would be accomplished,
yet at the same time the people not be de-
barred from the advantages of a swim. At all
our watering places such a privilege is ac-
corded, and it is much more necessary in Phi
ladelphia than it is at Cape May or Atlantic
City. We doubt the feasibility of swimming
baths free to the public. The only baths
which will be within their reach for a very
long time will be the rivers. 1t is grievous
error for police regulations to encroach on
sanitary necessities. We repeat that the
present law is defective. What is wanted is a
proper restraint, and not total prohibition,
which, from its very stringency, must prove
inaffpctnal

IHH bitter malignity which still fills the breasts
of the masses Of the late Rebels may De seen
in the bigoted and unscrupulous persecution
which they heap upon such Of their iate ieao-
ers as have had honor and maniiness enous"
to 'accept the situation" in good iath' anu W
urge others to do so. General Longstreet just

these unconstruoted Rebels. The Augusta

from a distinguished Confederate General who
has just returned from New Orleans that the
Judgment of popular indignation upon this
recreant Southerner has already been pro-
nounced upon him by his former friends and
associates in that city, and that so strong and
marked is their denunciaton of his course,
that he has been compelled to leave the place
and seek shelter in some interior village"
In one view we ought, perhaps to welcome
just such displays of ranoorous Rebel hatred as
are evinced in this case. Such men as Long
street can but have their friends and their

separate them more widely from those who
still cling to the old idols of slavery and a
Southern Confederacy, and throw them into
more intimate association with that rising
power of genuine republicanism which is
bound to become dominant throughout the
South. Everything which breaks up the old
Southern unity is to be welcomed; and
nothing can more effectually do it than such
unjust persecution of men who have hereto
fore achieved distinction as leaders of public |
sentiment at the South. It is not in the
nature of high-spirited and able men to sit
down tamely under political and social ostra-
cism, when they have on their side the inteli- |
gence, the virtue, the moral power and the ply
sical force of great nation. The elements of a |
powerful and ultimately dominant Republi- |
can organization are abundant in every |
Southern State. All they need is discipline |
and leadership, and these they are likely soon
to receive from men like Longstreet, whom |
the old dominant element of the South is |
attempting to ostracize and put down.

When General Grant was in Charleston
he was entertained by General Sickles. Next
door to the residence of General Sickles re-
sided a secesh family, the children of which
evidently under instructions from their seniors
made mouths at General Grant every time
he appeared ON the stoop or at the window,
and used other insulting gestures against the
commander-in-chief. They even accompanied
it by abusive language. Next day not stone
or splinter OF that house would have been
visible, If General Grant had not personally in
terfered to prevent the soldiers from pulling it
down. tmay be stated that General Sickles
neither owns nor pays rent for his fine resi-
dence in Charleston, or did not do so at a re-
cent date. The building had been vacated by
a conscience-stricken Calhounite, and is still
retained ION Government business" as has
been explained in response to the demands
made by the owner when he recovered from
his scare sufficiently to broach the subject of
restitstion or rent to the commander of the
Carolinas

Difficulty Between Mr.. G. w. Field and
Mr. George Jones.
from The NeiO York Times.
1t has been well known in certain circles for
some time past that the Associated Press, and
certain of Its members in particular, we're
agerieved by the policy pursued by the Direc
tors of the Atlantic Cable Company. Leading
directly from desire to harmonic the Difficult.
ties, the managing members of the press were
invited to dine with the Cable people last week
at the rooms of the Union League Club. On
that occasion, the leading host, Mr.. Cyrus w.
Field, saw dit to indulge in remarks that were
so unquestionably insulting to his guests, and
pointedlY offensive - Mr.. George Jones, the
publish ?r of the Times, that he promptly re-
sented it. Through the efforts OF MIR. Peter
Cooper and Mr.. d. d. Field, tho company sepa-
rated without further ANNOYANCE.
Subsequently Mr.. Jones, desrous of atfording
MIR. Field an honorable retreat from the ques-
uonable position he occupied, demanded an
apology for the insulting epithet he had applied
to gentleman when sitting guest at his board.
This Mr.. Field declined to give.
The sequel of the affair is thus reported by an
evening contemporary
From The Evening Gdzene, July 10.
In consequence of some difference between
the managers of the cable and the press, the di-
rectors last week invited the leading members
of the press to dinner at the Union League
Club. During a speech of Mr.. Cyrus W. Field
he saw fit to make use of language which Mr..
George Jones. publisher OF the Times, deemed
insulting, and subsequently to give Mr.. Jones
the lie. The timely interference OF Peter Cooper
and d. D. Field prevented fracas at the time.
The next day Mr. Jones demanded, through
Mr.. Raymond, an apology, which MIR. Field de-
clined to give. Thus matters stood until this
afternoon, when the parties met in front of the
telegraph Office. MIR. Jones instantly seized Mr..
Field by the nose and pulled 1t, in the presence
of a gathering crowd, and greatly to the incon-
venience of that sacred member. Before any
one could interfere pugnacious pull satisfied
the ire of Mr.. Jones, md the interested parties
separated. Thus ends the second chapter.

IHE INDIAN WAR.
Captured Indians Bought and Sold by
SOIdierS,


The War Department has Just received CODY
OF Circular No. 8, Issued last month by General
Mcdowell, commanding the Department of
California, to post commanders in Arizona.
General Mcdowell communicates to them the
following paragraph from letter addressed to
him by Governor Mccormick, of Arizona:-
find that at Fort Mcdowell and at other
posts they (Indian captives taken by the troops)
have been turned over to civilians without any
process OF law. learn OF instances in which
children have been sold by the troops; of others
in which they have been exchanged for goods,
and, in cases where they have been given to the
Pima and Maricopa Indians those tribes have
afterwards sold them to the whites Moreover,
have been informed that at Mcdowell it has
been the custom to deliver the adult female
Apache captives over to the Pimas and Mari
copas for slaughter.
The General has directed commanders of dis
tricts ana posts in Arizona to investigate these
charges at once, and report to him all the par
tculars. In conclusion, the General says:-
These charges, as well by the Nervousness of
the o1enses specified. as by the high source
from which they come, are most damaging TO
the character of the service, and must be fully
investigated and answered by every officer TO
whom this circular is sent.

clubs of St. Louis that prevented that city from
falling under Rebel control. As a GLASS they
are frugal and industrious, and il is seldom
we see German reduced to absolute want.
In innocent amusements, such as the compe-
tition which has drawn them to our city, they
excel, and stand unrivalled for their success
in harmless pleasures. They are a class whose
continually increasing size brings to us no
fears, feeling confident as we do that the pro
gress of our nation will be hastened, not i'm
peded, by an increase of the population of her
German American citizens.

The German American Population.
AT the present time we have in our city
large representation Of the best portion of the
German-American population of the States.
Gathered together as they are by desire to
unite in an innocent and worthy emulation
for the prizes distributed to them as musi-
clans, we have good opportunity of contem-
plating the characters of this most important
class of our citizens Already the Germans
have become most influential and useful body
OF people. Coming to us as they did through
desire to secure that perfect liberty denied to
them abroad, they not only are with us but
are OF us They have become at once iden-
tined in all their interests with their adopted
land and have thoroughly imbibed all its
principles Unlike other foreigners, they have
Disseminated good from evil; and failing to
be deceived by the specious name of
Democracy have, as class, sided
strongly with freedom and freedoms
party. They have thrown the weight
of their influence in favor of the Renubli-
cans, and contributed in no small degree to
bring the late war to a successful Termination.
We cannot forget that it was the German
population of Missouri that saved that State
from secession, and that it was the German
