rhe Resirnntion of General slclsles.


IT appears that as soon as General oickies
read the report of Attorney-General stan
berry, he forwarded his resignation TO
Washington. In this he acted like an
honorable and high-spirited soldier, and cannot
be blamed for his course. But we think ne
made q mistake Let the Attorney-General
and all the other legal quibblers in the coun-
try abuse his actions. 1t is his sound policy
70 pursue the even tenor of his way, paying
no attention to anything but direct order
rom the President. When that order comes
he can resign or not, as he thinks proper. To
leave the field because of reflections cast upon
him, savors rather of the impetuous warrior
than the sound statesman, both of viii ch
qualities we expected to find in General
Siokles The Objectionable remarks in the
opinion which have caused this step are
found in the following paragraphs
"The charges against General Sckles are
sweeping and emphatic. In another of these
districts body of military edicts, issued in
gen eral and special orders regularly m numOered' %
gated which already beginto assume the dimen-
Bions of q code. ..r....
After enumerating the orders of General
Sickles, the Attorney General continues:--
"This construction of his power under the
act of Congress places the military COM
mander on the same footing as the Con-
Rress of the United States. It assumes that
THE paramount authority of the United States
at any time to abolish, modify, control,
supersede,' is vested in him as fully as 1t is
reserved TO Congress. He deems himself a
representative of that paramount authority.
He puts himself upon an equality with the law
making power of the Union, the only para
mount authority In our Government, so far, at
least, as the enactment of laws is concerned.
He places himself on higher ground than the
President, who is simply an executive officer.
authority of the State, legislative, executive.
and judicial, and in effect declares Il am the
State. l regret that L find IL necessary to
speak plainly of this assumption of autho-
do not doubt that all these orders have been
Issued under an honest belief that they were
necessary or expedient, and fully warranted by
the act OF Congress"
The statements of the Attorney General were
not noted for their courtesy, but at the same
time it was hardly necessary for General
Sickles to take notice of them. He did not
receive his appointment from Judge Stan
berry. He had nothing whatever to do with
that officer, and until the President officially
endorsed the Attorney Generals opinion, and
ordered the revocation of General Sickles'
'code," he should not have taken such
a step as to tender his resignation. His
motives were, no doubt, highly honorable,
but it would have been more polite to have
distinct cause for such an action, or, if posi-
BILE, to await removal by the Executive. If
such should have been his fate, his popularity
was secured.

WE WOULD LIKE to ask Mr.. G. M. Wagner,
the sexton of that legislative cemetery called
The COMMITTEE on Law" of Councils, how
many necessary bills have been inferred by
them We probably could not make space to
publish the titles, but if he were to consult
his minutes, and let us know the number in
gross, it would be interesting statistics.

A CHAYGE.-It has been the boast of this
country that it was country of law. Itseems
that this is now to be changed, and we are to
be ruled not by laws of our own making, but
by the ''opinioss" of pettifoggers and quibblers.
The President is no longer to execute the law,
but the "cpinion" of his Attorney ey-General.
We don't think the people will relish this
change.

The Requirements of Public Health.
THE following paragraph from the New York
Express is as applicable to Philadelphia as to
the Empire City
1--WE dwelt, a few days since, upon the fact
that the olera returns from the large cities of
South America, now being so terribly visited
by the scourge, proved inoontestably that per-
sons of regular habits and those who attended
most particularly to the cleanliness OF the body,
seemed less subjected to fatal attacks of the
dread disease. This being the case, our authori-
ties, having such unparalleled facilities at their
disposal for the purpose, should establish public
bathing places for the masses. The expenses of
these free baths could be betrayed by the estab-
llshment, at the cost OF the city, of bathing
places, convenient and well kept, which, at
moderate charge, would be well patroniZed.
There should be baths for males and females,
and the result in the sanitary condition of the
city could but prove most gratifying. The bills
Of mortality would undoubtedly be decreased"
We would commend this idea favorably to
the consideration of the guardians of the public
health, if we were possessed of any such luxu-
ries. As it is, the only body capable of
appreciating and carrying out the suggestion
is the Board of Health, and it is deprived of
all necessary funds by the politicians of our
city. We therefore publish the extract, to
instruct theoretically, without any hope OF
seeing any practical good result.

Sheridan to be Humiliated.

The logical sequence of Attorney General
Stanbery's ''opinion," which is now to take
the place Of ldw in this country, is that the
acts of Generals Sheridan Pope, ETC., in re-
moving obnoxious functionaries, must be re-
versed. This has been the subject of Cabi-
net discussion for several days, all the mem
bers agreeing that an order of reversal must
be issued except the incorruptible Stanton.
The country owes a debt of gratitude to Mr..
Stanton for standing at his post during all
these dreary months of Executive usurpation.
His presence has operated as powerful check
upon many mad scheme, that else might
have grown to most dangerous proportions.
But will it not be pleasing sight to behold
the infamous and bloody Monroe restored to
the head of civil affairs in New Orleans How
the Rebel thugs will rejoice Sheridan out
ranked by Monroe And this is the Presi-
dents pretended understanding of his duties
under the Reconstruction law What farce
It would be much more manly to openly avow
the intention of nullifying the law, than to
reach the same result through such askulking
indirection as this is. The Executive refuses
to execute the law, and that is the whole
story.
