An Extraordinary Executive Message.
In the late edition of THE EVENING TELEGRAPH
of yesterday we published the message of Mr..
Johnson relative to the propriety of Congress
passing resolutions complimentary to General
Hancock. When we frat received by tele-
graph that extraordinary document, we had
grave doubts as to its being genuine mes
sage. We find nowhere in the history Of
Executive communications such a surprising
exhibition of cool assurance. 1t must he re-
membered that General Hancock was the sue
Cessor of General Sheridan, and that, in direct
opposition to the spirit of the Reconstruction
laws, he commenced to nullify all the acts of
his predecessor, and to proceed in policy di-
rectly opposite to that favored by General
Grant, by Congress, and all the loyal people
of the North. His late proclamation is a rehec
tion of censure on the policy of his predecessor,
and, in fact, is a severe criticism on the spirit
of all the code of Reconstruction acts as passed
over the Presidents veto; and this proclama-
tiOn, breathing Of subserviency to the Presi-
dent and friendliness to Rebels, is to be the
ground on which he is to receive some public
recognition of his services. OF course, Mr..
Johnson does not suppose that Congress will
pass any such resolutions as he suggests, and
this fact but increases the insolence of the
whole document.
The Message is penned in the true Johnsonian
style-empty platitudes and high-sounding
paragraphs, which would do honor to DR.. Ben
in his most hOwery humor. We are told that
Hancock is second Washington, that he pre-
sents the noblest exhibition of ''the highest
public virtue that human nature is capable of
producing Passing by the insolence of his
recommendation, we have but to lock for
moment at its object. 1t seems to be very
generally conceded that it amounts to decla-
ration of the support of the Administration
for General Hancock as President, next year.
The whole document bears evident marks of
such being the intention of the author. AS it
is, it is more calculated to damage Hancock
than anything which has yet appeared. The
people, both Democrats and Republicans, have
no faith in Mr. Johnson, and his advocacy of
any one is sufficient to place the chances of his
favorites success low on the list. AS it is,
General Hancock will feel but little satisfac-
tion at the extraordinary document which
declares him demigod; and if the President
persists, the unfortunate Commander of the
Fifth District will have to call on the heavens
to save him from his friends.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-12-19

tains are again exhibiting signs Of life. This,
in itself, is rather alarming. Then we have
earthquakes. All the Gulf islands feel the
tremble Of the mighty oonvulsion. Italy
is subjected to like excitement; while by
telegraph, this morning, we are told that
Vermont and Northern New York also expe-
rienced shocks, thing never before known
in that locality. In consideration Of these
commissions, we have recently seen a
pamphlet which advocates the doctrine that the
worlds end is approaching, and from its tone
seems to seek to terrify all sinners into con-
version. We would not speak in
any way disrespectfully of those who
honestly entertain this opinion, or of
their well-meant efforts to do good; but
we must deprecate the sensational style Of
religious literature which is now the fashion.
We do not believe that the soul is reached
through the nerves, and consequently have no
faith in those predictions which are the result
of physical terror. They are only calculated
to injure the health of the susceptible, and do
little or no good. Whenever we hear these
descriptions Of the approaching end of all
things, we remember the remark of an elo-
quent divine on similar statement being
made TO him:--'I feel no additional fear from
that. may die in an hour, and then, so far as
am concerned, all earthly things will end. If
| am prepared to sustain this visit to which
all are susceptible, without fear, have no
cause for alarm at the possibility that the de-
struotion of the earth is at hand" This is
the sound common sense view of the case, and
one which we would commend to all. We
have been led to these remarks because of
the appearance of several such pamphlets as
that which we have received and perused, and
we deem them but lily calculated to do aught
but terrify. We repeat, we mean no disre-
spect, but we see no cause for additional SEN
sation because Vermont or st. Thomas feels
an earthquake, or because Vesuvius opens
again, as she has done since the days of the
elder Pliny.
