change.

The Sriantonomoh and Cuba-A Fair Kx.
Now that Spain has got into dif1culty with
England and feet Of British iron-clads are
threatening Cadiz, we have fair offer to mako
to Spain. Our Monitors can demolish all the
iron-clads of England without much trouble,
which is admitted by British authorities, includ-
ing, we believe, the Board of Admiralty. The
Miantonomoh is now lying off Leghorn, quite
convenient to the Spanish coast She could
reach Cadiz in very short time. We have no
doubt that If the Spanish government would
only telegraph to tho State Department at
Washington, this magnificent Monitor would AZ
once be traded of for the Island of Cuba and
would be ordered, by q cable despatch, to
report for service in Spanish waters, fully
manned and armed as she is, and transferred
TO Spain. This would be q fair exchange. II
the latter country has any other islands In the
West Indies to dispose Of, we have plenty moro
Of the same sort as the Miantonomoh left to
barter in the same why. There are few in
New York and some in Boston, for which we
have no use that can be obtained In exchange
for real estate.
As Spain evidently cannot take care Of her
foreign possessions in the midst Of her present
home difficulties, we have no objection to take
care of her West India islands, and we will
accept the responsibility Of their safe keeping
against all comers Before she gets into war
with England It might be advisable for her to
follow the example Of the Wall street stock
brokers and other spectators, who, when they
are flush in cash and have made what is called
"a good thing" buy nno property, which
they settle upon their wives, and when crash
comes they do not own an available dollar,
while their wives are comfortably rich. II
spain would adopt this course before her
trouble comes, her English creditors could not
touch an acre Of her property in American
waters. We will take care Of Il and give good
security in valuable feet Of our invincible
Monitors.

acquired additional territory to the extent
OF three hundred and eighteen thousand
square miles. Texas was q slave State
and had area enough to make several
slave States. The question Of slavery had
long been an exciting and troublesome one.
The North wished to limit this institution, and
more than twenty years before had restricted
it to the boundary south Of the Missouri COM
promise line Of thirty-six degrees thirty
minutes north latitude, except as to the State
Of Missouri The South, on the other hand, az
slave labor had become very profitable In the
cultivation Of cotton, and a. 1t was fast losing
political power by the more rapid growth OF the
North, was desirous OF strengthening itself Dy
the acquisition Of slave holding territory or
territory that could be made into slave States.
The contest on the annexation OF Texas, then,
was chiefly with regard to this question. But
the Southerners, through their Northern poll
tical allies, and through the general desire OF
territorial aggrandizement, carried their point,
and Texas was annexed.
Out Of this grew the war with Mexico In
1s46; for that republic still claimed Texas and
had not given up the intention Of subjugating
It The result Of that war is well known as
leading to the conquest Of California and New
Mexico. By this conquest, and by purchase
and the treaty Of peace with Mexico in ls4s,
we added five hundred and fifty thousand four
hundred and ffty-fve square fmiles to our
domain. Subsequently we obtained by pur-
chase Arizona, strip Of Mexican territory
lying south Of the Gila river for the purpose
Of having an available railroad route to the
Pacific. The last annexation is that Of Rus
sian America, estimated to contain four hum
dred and eighty-one thousand two hundred
seventy-six square miles.
Such has been the growth of the great repub-
lie. It is undeniable that the material ad-
become mighty Power by these successive
acquisitions Of territory. But they have given
us great deal of trouble and brought the
Union to the VERGE OF dissolution. They,
ultimately and mainly, were the cause Of our
civil war, the abolition OF slavery and the
remarkable state of things that now exists.
We are, however, approaching the end Of sec
tional strife from the annexation Of territory.
Hereafter there will be no slavery, and no
South and North in political and sectional
sense, for our institutions will be the sams
everywhere. We may "rouni of the repub-
lie" by the annexation of the British posses
sions, and even of Mexico, the West Indies and
Central America, in due time, without future
danger. The telegraph and railroads will
bring all parts Of the continent near one
another, and the whole will be governed as
easily as the thirteen original States.

This is the anniversary oil the dark, myste.
rious and appalling Booth tragedy. On the
night Of the 14th of April, 1866, President Lin.
coin was shot and MORALLY wounded at Ford's
Theatre, Washington, by John Wilkes Booth,
and nearly at the same hour, on the same
night, Mr.. Seward, Secretary of State was at
tackled In his bed and seriously wounded by q
confederate of Booth, known as Lewis Payne,
by whom Mr.. Frederick w. Seward, Assistant
Secretary, was also seriously wounded In .
struggle with the assassin. The death Of Prcsi-
dent Lincoln next morning instantly changed
the popular rejoicings over the fall Of the re-
bellion into universal horror and mourning
over the terrible loss of tho tried, faithful and
esteemed leader and champion of the Union
cause.
Since the assassination Of julius Cesar, sci.
dom, If ever, has the death Of any one man In
any country produced the shock, the public
commotion and such train of political conse.
quences as those which have followed the death
Of the lamented Lincoln. Doubtless, had he
lived, all the rebel States would ere this have
been restored to Congress and upon far moro
easy terms than the stern and radical condi-
tions Of reconstruction resulting from President
Johnson's mistaken policy. Lincoln knew how
to manage Congress. In gracefully submitting
to and relying upon the two houses, he held
them in his hands. Quietly yielding whom
the odds were against him, he was always
strong, and that without an effort, when the
occasion required . show Of strength.
So we have reason to think that his
death was serious disaster to the South,
II we look only ct the passing suferings Of the
Southern people resulting from President John.
sons conflict with Congress. Yet In tho end
the comprehensive revolution which this CON.
fict has brought about In the leading ideas,
acts and facts of reconstruction wnl, We dare
say, prove vastly better for the South and the
country than would have been the halfway
conciliatory policy of Lincoln.
Thus, as in everything else deplored ss dis
asters and calamities during the war, from the
first Bull Run to the bloody failures around
Fredericksburg, and later, even the appalling
death Of Lincoln, may be accepted as sacri-
fee which has brought the grandest compen-
sations to the country. It is remarkable, too,
that the day Of Booths fatal bullet-the 14th
of April-was the day upon which Major An
derson evacuated Fort Sumter, in 1861, and
that on the very night Of the Booth tragedy
the identical " old flag which was taken
down by Major Anderson from Sumter four
years before was flying again over Sumter's
ruined walls, having been replaced by the
same man, Major General Anderson, during
the day, amid great rejoicinga How INSTRUCT
i've are the events and how strange are the co..
incidences Of history.

The Question Settled.


The Question Settled.
On the Mississippi petition before the Su-
prcme Court for an injunction against the
President In restraining him from the execution
of the Southern reconstruction laws Of Con-
gress, on the ground Of their unconstitution-
ality, Mr.. Stanbery, the Attorney General of
the United States, in the name Of the President
and upon a single point, submitted an argu-
ment on Friday last which settled the question.
The Attorney General said that the petition
ers (Sharkey and Walksrl task this court to
submit him (Andrew Johnson), as President,
to the process Of subpe IA, to compel his at
tendance. and to bring him, as President,
process of attachment which, to give the re-
lief claimed, must involve the Presidents
commitment to Jail and his detention In Jail,
under the custody Of the court-a criminal pro-
cess which will amount practically to his
removal from office. This, too, whom 1t Is only
before the Senate, as q court Of impeachment,
that the President can be called to answer for
any dereliction Of duty. There, and there only,
he can be called and tried and punished for
such derelictfons. But here, it is assumed,
the court is better judge Of his duty
than he is himself, and that when he proceeds
to execute a law Of Congress, to avoid impsach-
ment, this court is to interfere and tell him
what to do and compel him to do it, or to hold
him in Jail as long as he refuses obedience to
the court.
This demand, the Attorney General declared,
in legal language, was scandalous-"a suit not
ct to be brought, and which no court in the
United States can for one moment sustain" "It
is," said the Attorney General, "with the ap-
probation, advice and instruction Of the
President that appear here to make this
objection. Although the gentlemen (Sharkey
and Walker) in their bill have said that he has
vetoed these acts OF Congress as unconstitu-
tional, when the President did that he did
everything that he intended to do in opposi-
ton to these laws. From the moment they
were passed over his veto there was but one
doty, in his estimation, resting upon him, and
that was faithfully to carry out and execute
these laws.r
That will do, Mr. President That settles the
question, whatever may be the decision Of the
Supreme Court upon the constitutional quib-
bles and pettifogging involved in these Missis-
sippi and Georgia applications for an injunc-
ton against the execution Of these laws Of
reconstruction. The Executive Is not answera-
BILE to the Supreme Court for his conduct; but
the Judges Of the court, and the Executive, and
all the other civil officers Of the States, are
auswerable to Congress. The sovereign arm
Of the national government is Congress, and in
recognizing this constitutional and fixed fact
President Johnson need have no fear of injunc-
tions, subpnnas or impeachments, and all
apprehensions Of any embarrassments from
this court or that court in the work Of recon-
struction may be dismissed.
