THE PRESIDENTS OPPOSITION

The people have one cause OF complaint
AGAINST the President which is independent oI
the unfortunate difference of opinion between
Mr.. Johnson and the nation. He has refused
70 make an honest, straightforward opposition
70 Congress. When his administration begun,
he began q course of unfairness which, we
fear. is not yet ended. Democrats claimed him
AS Democrat, and Republicans fresh fromp private
conversations with his Excellency as emphatically
claimed him as a Republican. No one then
could determine his policy from his words,
and those who quoted his strong language about
hanging Rebels as high as Haman soon found
that they might as well quote, as proof OF his
intention the bulls of the Pope His actions
were alone to be depended upon, and these
contradicted every loyal pledge he had made
Even then no one could tell how far Mr.. john
son had been converted to the falth OF
his enemies He approved the Freedmen
Bureau bill when it was shown to nm py
Senator Trumbnll, and opposed 1t vehe,
mently few weeks after, when lt had
been PASSED. So when the Reconstruction acts
were odopted Mr.. johnson vetoed them on the
broad ground that they placed the lives ana
nronerty of all the people in the South abso-
mtely within the power of the District Com
monders but when they became laws his At
torney- G eneral discovered that the military
authority was mere police force, and
the President sent that opinion to the
Commander of each District. 1t was
also understood that the President would
execute the laws in good faith, and in this be-
lief Congress adjourned last April. But dld ne
- o,,, stens In carry ont the intent OF the
lawsP On the contrary, Gen. Sickles could not
even obtain from the Navy Department one poor
onnboat. The whole course of his opposition
to tbe will of the people is a singular combl-
nation of stubbornness and insincerity, yet
there have always been Republicans ready to
mt faith in Presidential repentance, and the
prospect of his reconciliation with Congress.
We are disposed to believe that there is no
weapon, however petty it may be, that Andrew
Johnson will not use, now that we have
New-York tribune., 1867-07-17

The debate upon the separate submission to
the people of the negro suffrage question was
continued in the Convention yesterday, and
we do not object to the long discussion Of this
old sui ject while the Committees are not ready
to report. Old as it is, the Conven-
ton furnishes proof that it is not un-
derstOod. The Constitution provides for the
election of delegates to a Convention for the
express purpose of preparing a new Constitu-
ton and submitting it to the people. The Suf-
frage is only one of the important questions
and no reason exists why it should be separately
submitted rather than a dozen other i'm
portant questions The delegates are supposed to
represent the people; when a majority of Re-
publicans were elected it was universally un-
derstOOd that the suffrage reform would be in
dorsed by the Convention Now we are
told that it is point Of honor
with the Republican party to submit it
to a separate vote. We submit that such
action would be altogether superfuous, and
contrary to the evident duty of the Conven-
tion, which is to make the best Constitution it
can, and to submit that.

read his last Message to Congress.
Weakness of intellect and strength Of
obstinacy could go no further than in this
argument that the United States in re-
constructing the Union becomes responsible
for the legitimate debts of the Rebel States
This is mere pettifogging The intelligent
Democrats who ironically commented on it in
the Senate indicated the severe treatment Mr.
Johnson will certainly receive from that party
when his term of Office expires. Did he actually
suppose that the country could be frightened by
the debt of 900 he invented, or that such
self-evdent stroke of demagogism would
affect single vote in Congress, or the result
of one township electionq We are afraid that
Mr.. johnson did entertain hopes of frightening
other people, though we cannot do him tho
Injustice to suppose that he was in the least
scared by his own imaginary monster. Those
who manufacture bug-a-boos are not terrified
by their horns or tail. 1t would be better for
the President were he to abandon this dubious
and trivial policy at once. The best part of his
Administration is over, and in the twenty
his plans will triumph. He will remain in
Washington in defeat, he will leave Office in
defeat, and had better recognize his defeat
But if he will not surrender to Congress, We
beg him to oppose it squarely, and to give no
more double constructions of the laws he don't
like, and no more broOmsticks dressed up like
specters Of National ruin.

Sanitary tuition is still needed in this filthy
city. Last week we commented upon the as
sertion made by the Registrar of Vital Stats
tics, that the increased mortality Of the pre-
cedng week was due to the Overcrowding and
uncleanliness of certain portions of the city.
The lesson of that week is repeated in the re-
port Of the health of the city for the week
ending on Saturday last. While there was an
increase of the death rate from 3072 to 1898
per 1000 and while 13j more children under
five years of age were carried off, there was no
increase of mortality in the cleanly and we'll
kept regions of the Fifteenth Ward and por-
tions of the Eighteenth and Twenty first. Here,
the deaths were less than one to six thousand; !;
but down in the foul slime of the East River
Wards the deaths were one to eleven hundred
and 50 per cent of those who died were children
under five years OF age.

1t has been no secret that the Italian Party
of Action has for some time been preparing
for another campaign against the Papal States
with view to- their annexation to the King
dom of Italy. The attempt made few weeks
ago to invade the Papal territory was disOwncd
by the Party as premature, but their designs
upon Rome they frankly acknowledged, and
preparations for a new war were made publicly
and on the largest scale 1t Is now reported
by a Cable dispatch that the Papal Government
is anticipating serious disturbances from the
movements of the Garibadians, that it has ap
peaed to Emperor Louis Napoleon for aid
and that it has received from him the promise
of efficient aid whenever it shall he needed.

For several years a small band of American
missionaries have been working with great zeal
in the Asatic countries of Turkey. They have
established a number of churches, which are
prosperous, though not yet large; but their
labors have not been confined to preaching

The allocution of Pope Plus TX, delivered to
the assembled cardinals in Rome on the 2oth
of June, and published by us in full yesterday
has probably disappointed many who hoped To
find in if an explanation of the extraordinary
Gathering which now surrounds the pontitical
throne. Matter fact people have all along
been puzzled to understand why hundreds OF
bsbops-most of them old men-and thousands
of priests, should travel from all the four quar-
ters of the globe only to attend canonizatlon
and centennial anniversary. Canonlzatlons
are not rare, and why should the martyrdom
of st. Peter and st. Paul be commemorated
with any more sOlemnity this year than 1t was
in 1767P His Holiness does not help us out
of the perplexty. What he says about the
proposed great council is not much. He wants
to have one: he means to have one as soon
"a he can; but when that may be he does not
even guess. Of the rumored purpose to ee-
yate the belief in the infallibility OF the Pope
10 the dignity of dogma of the faith there Is
not word. The Holy Father only hopes q
council may find an efiicacious remedy tor tno
evils which now aflct the Church, and may
in a general sort of way, do much gooa 10 rc-

4 TEMPERANCE REFILL.

The Sons of Temperance in Our State hold
a quarterly meeting of their Grand Division
at Saratoga Springs on Wednesday, the 9th
inst, when Temperance jubilee is cOntem.
plated Many will be glad to seek a brief re-
Taxation from their daily labors in trip to
Saratoga in the hight of the season. while
the newly awakened and widely extended in
terest in Temperance is morally certain 10
secure the attendance of thousands of the
Sons not only, but Of the Good Templars,
Rechabites, and other active devOtees OF tho
cause. The Hon. Henry Wilson Of Massachu-
sets will be among the speakers, beside emf
nent apostles of the faith from among our own
citizens Probably the largest inland gathering
of Temperance men ever witnessed in our
State will be. assembled, to gladden. the heart
of the patriarch Delavan ere he finally rests
from his labOrs.
Our great Civil War wrought immeasurable
injury to the Temperance cause. Fatigue,
hardship, exposure, privation, are apt to plead
successfully for Alcoholic indulgence. "Give
"strong drink to him that is ready to perish

while on the march in camp. to seek soiace
and endurance in the glass. We presume
three-fOurths of those who were Temperance
men when they enlisted were, under one pre-
text or another, tempted to drink ere they
"came marching home.'
But Peace again blesses the land and tho
moral influences which the War neutral
lied are resuming their sway. Especially has
the cause of Total Abstinence made more pro-
gress within the last year than throughout tho
five years preceding. The Sons of Temper
ance have more than doubled their active
members within this year. and the other Tem-
perance organizations have been hardly less
prosperous When the Legions of Alcohol
make their next onslaught on our legal or
other defenses, then these will be found far
better manned than they had been for years
prior to the present.
We urge the friends of Temperance, not only
in this but in adjoining States, to attend the
grand rally at Saratoga next week. They will
hear good speaking, press the warm hands of
some whom it is at once pleasure and an in
spiration to greet, and return refreshed and IN
vigorated for the struggle before us. We trust
the victories of Temperance during the latter
half of 1867 will even surpass those OF the
former, and that an earnest of this may be real
lied at the Saratoga meeting.

which he had evinced at Vera Cruz, writing to
Gen. Taboada commanding in that city, that
he (Santa Anna) hoped to return thther in
war steamer and meanwhile seeking to intrigue
with Gen. Peraza, Governor of Yucatan, against
Juarez. The allegation is that Santa Anna was
forcbly seized on board the Virginia by the
Mexicans; but even this appears to have no
foundation in truth, for in second letter OF
his to Peraza, quoted by Mr. Seward, are these
words: "While | was awaiting your answer,
"Col. Medina the Military Commander OF this
sport (SisaD, presented himself to me on board,
"and informed me that you invited me to
Gland. ] Immediately began to get ready, and
commenced by shaving myself. The
captain of the vessel Capt Deakcn) in
"formed me that | could not land, as his
"orders from the American war steamer
"(COmmander ROe) were that L might

"prctext to set foot on Mexican territory.
"Finaly, the captain yielded, and was al
"lowcd to disembark, not, however, without
"protest - Now | am at your disposal,
"and | hope shall soon see you" Thus 1t
appears that Santa Anna landed at Sisal, not
only voluntarily, but contrary to the express
instructions of Commander Roe, and against
the protest of the captain of the Virginia
What becomes of the loud complaints that
Mexico. in this matter has insulted and vio-
lated the American fagP 1t is Santa Anna
who has insulted our President and our Gov
ernment by pretending to be their emssary,
authorized by them, i'll defiance of all inter-
national law, TO incte a revolt against u
friendly Government. 1t cannot be said that
he has not merited the worst that may befall
him.
Mr. Seward winds up his memorandum as
follows: "The Mexican nation seems at last to
"have trumphed over all its internal and for
"eign enemies, and to have reached a crisis when,
" if left alone it may be expected to restore tran
"duility and to reorganize itself upon permanent
foundations of union, freedom, and republican
government This is not only the hopeful but,
we believe, the just view TO take OF the case.
The Mcxcans did not stand the test in the first
excitement after victory, smartinS under recent
wrongs few nations do; i'll our case, when SIM
ilarly situated there were loud cries for ven
geance against the instigators of the Rebellion.
But popular indignation i'll Mexico will Sradu-
ally subside. and will, we trust, he replaced by
wiser thoughts and better feelings. Juarez has
been pupil in the best of all schools, the school
of adversely The future may show that he has
profited by its lessons.

A correspondent writes us to complain OF
the publication of the names of applicants for

he says, inficts needless pain upon the unfor-

his insolvency secret a single day. If he can
not pay his debts, the public ought to know it,
though he may not be to blame If he can pay
