Rogers, two married bucks Of New
York, who wandering home late one
night, stopped at what Thompson sup.
posed was his residence, but which
his companion insisted was his own
house. Thompson rang the bell lust

lady inquired what was wanted.

Secretary McCulloch and tho Gold in she
Treasury.
II is reported that the prevailing opinion in
Washington. with regard to the sales of gold by
the Treasury Department il that Secretary
McCulloch will not be allowed to exercise the
same control over the market he has hitherto
exercised. The Committee of Ways and
Means, to which the subject was referred, has
not yet come to positive decision but it is
thought report will be made to limit the
power of the Secretary. Mr.. McCulloch 10
naturally opposed to any restriction being
placed upon him. The power he now possesses
is great and full Of temptation. If be should
be SO disposed he can make for himself or his
friends millioas of dollars by influencing the
markets Besides the values of the country and
the market prices OF gold and other things, which
he can send up or down at will, ought not to
be left within the power Of any man, and GER
tainly not in the power of . man Of such mar
row views of financial matters. A large re-
serve ofgold should be kept on hand or within
call by the government, for that inspires con-
fdence; but If the accumulation should be-
come too great, and it be advisable to sell,
then the sales should be regulated by law and
upon fixed principle. There is no other way
to prevent corruption or an improper inter-
ference with trade and values

State to State, respond in favor OF Congress.
Here the conflict should have ended but here
II is only more sharply defined and reduced
to such close quarters that the weaker party in
the fight must be annihilated. 1t becomes the
spectacle of the Roman Coliseum, where the
vanquished gladiator was at the mercy Of the
victor and the voice of the audience life or
death.
Meantime, rallying around President john
son, the rebel States. with wonderful slacrity
and unanimity, hasten to reject the pending
constitutional amendment declared by the
people Of the loyal States as their ultimatum.
From Virginia to Texas the rebel States have
thus, in the field Of politics, resumed their old
conflict for State rights, which we all had sup
posed was settled on the field of battle, and
the President is boastfully paraded before the
country as their champion in this new con-
fict His superserviceable organs Of the rebel
and copperhead press, that have been dead
weight upon him from the beginning, in this
connection have hit upon new but q very
absurd exposition Of the voice Of the people.
Taking the democratic vote Of the North and
adding to it the whole voting population Of the
South as It was before the war, they figure up
half million popular majority off the Union in
support of Mr.. Johnson, and threaten to employ
all this force Vi ct arms, if necessary, to sustain
him to the end of bis term. If we are to believe
these incendiary threatenings As emanating
from the President, we must conclude that be
has gone over to the South against Congress
and the North, and that he has resolved to sink
against the loyal States. in the enforcement Of
his rejected policy.
"Will you," said Mr.. Seward at Cleveland,
we believe, on the Douglas pilgrimage, "will
you have Andrew johnson as President or
King?" The Secretary of State was then
supposed to be unduly excited but if these
late silly copperhead declarations amount to
anything, they show that he was speaking by
the card. AT all events there can be no fur
Their trifing upon this business This state of
things is not likely to be accepted by Congress
as a necessary evil to the end of Mr.. Johnson's
term Of Office. 1t is not likely that the rebel
States will be allowed for two years longer to
dictate their own terms of restoration, when
Congress, by o single constitutional proceeding,
may settle the difficulty, and has the requisite
force in each house to do this thing. This
has now become the main question. and we
guess that the remedy suggested will be APP
piled as the first business in order with the
assembling Of the new Congress on the 4th Of
March, and we have no fear whatever that the
peace will be disturbed in this peaceable
solution.

The utmost activity appears to prevail among
the yet unlicensed liquor dealers to obtain per-
mission to carry on their business until the
Excise Board resumes its sessions The In
spector is fairly run down with applications
which are granted at the rate Of about one
hundred and fifty day. These permits are
not taken out with less feeling of hostility to
the law because they are necessity, nor must
it be supposed that the liquor dealers are re-
taxing their efforts to have the law amended
by tho Legislature. They look confidently to
the prospect Of obtaining such notifications as
will relieve the Excise Law from it's most objec-
tonable features. After next Tuesday those
who have not succeeded in obtaining permits
and have hitherto been selling without license
must remove their signs and signals, haul down
their flags and surrender 1t discretion. Up to
yesterday morning there were about Ave hun
dred and eighty applications to be acted upon.
The total number Of licenses granted 20 far il
about six thousand six hundred.
Between the excitement among those seek
ing license to sell liquor. and the constant
arrests tor illegal distillation, fraudsapon the
revenue, the investigation Of Congressional
committees and the trials before the United
States Commissioners Newton and Jones, the
whiskey question would seem to be the most
lively, and certainly the most spirited, subject
Of the day.

The Rocenssruction Question In Congress.
Thad Stevens Reconstruction bill was up
before the House Of Representatives yesterday,
and an amendment was proposed by Mr.. Spald-
ing and accepted by Mr.. Stevens providing
that nom the date Of tho passage OF the act
until such time % the States In rebellion shall
be admitted to representation in Congress the
writ OF habeas corpus shall be suspended In
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Texas, Alsbama, Louisians, Mssis-
sippi and Arkansas, and those districts OF
country" be In the meanwhile placed under
martial law. In the course Of the debate upon
the bill Mr.. Scoleld made sharp attack upon
Secretary Seward for having sent the consti-
tutional amendment to the ex-rebel States for
their adoption. arguing that the States repre-
sented IN Congress alone had the right to vote
upon the amendment. He charged design on
the part Of the Secretary Of State to lead the
other departments Of the government into acts
recognizing the actual existence Of the rebel
States, and included certain Judges Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States in his
censure. The Southern people will soon begin
to learn the real value of that advice by which
they were melted to reject the terms proposed
by Congress- We have no doubt tina, the
sensible portion of them would now gladly
welcome any policy by which the constitu-
tional amendment might be made operative
without their direct concurrence, so that they
might secure the substance of peace without
doing violence to the shadow of "honor."

Politics.
King Solomon to the contrary, nevertheless,
that there is nothing new, we have in the
present attitude Of the rebel States something
new under the sun. Appealing from the con-
stituton to the sword for the settlement Of their
political dogmaa, and defeated in the field Of
battle after q four years struggle, taxing all
their energies and resources to the utmost
struggle involving the sacrifice Of over half a
million Of able-bedied men-the ruling politi-
clans Of these rebel States are now, as If nothng
had happened, preaching again the old story
Of their constitutional rights. How have they
been brought into this ridiculous but danger
ous attitude With the surrender Of their rebel
armies the States Of the defunct confederacy
recognized their position to be that Of hostile
foreign coalition at the feet Of . conqueror.
This was the grand result OF the war. Those
States and people by their rebellion had for
feited their constitutional rights--the States as
members Of the Union, and their people as citi-
gems Of the United States To this extent they
were At the mercy Of the government, and in
this capacity their reconstruction was provi-
sionally undertaken BY President johnson in
the absence Of Congress.
So far, then, the laws Of war, the law Of ma
