AFTERUs, THE DrLUGE mAYHE.

The following is the conclusion of an
article in the New York Herald of the
18th, headed "What are We coming 10 ?"
And the other question may be asked,
"Ifa flush of money is given the people,
will they be quiescent under robbery Of
their liberties ?' Anybody can tell what
we are coming to, but who canswer the lat
ter inquiry:
Thus we find that since the establish
ment Of their provisional military dictator
ships over the still unrecognized Rebel
States the two houses of Congress have
rapidly advanced 10 the absorption Of the
constitutional powers heretofore accorded
20 the Executive and Judicial Depart
menis. The President of the United
States is reduced 10 mere automation,
subject to the pleasures of the Senate in has
removals So well as his appointments,
while the Supreme Court, with its mind
msde mp on an important case involving
Congressional reconstruction, is compelled
TO be silent under special act Of Congress.
What, then, are We coming 10, looking to
the removal of President johnson for
"the high crime and misdemeanor' Of
daring % remove an obnoxious Cabinet
officer without first consulting the Senate
Who can answer this question? We can

events behind us, without the warning that
the end of the chain IL still before us; for

however, We may look Tor the complete

REACTION FOLLOWS INNOVATION

The New York World in the appended
paragraph asserts truth as certain as
that the day succeeds the night
There are periods in the history of par
ticular countries when one or the other
tendency 30 gets the upper hand as to suf-
focate the other. In Asia, conservatism
has reigned predominant for centuries and
civilization has been stationary. In the
Middle Ages, the intellect of Europe re-
voIVed around the ideas of Aristotle and
made no advance. The first half century
after the Protestant reformation was a pc
riod when the other tendency ran wild, and
swarms Of fanatics protested against Luther
az he had protested against the Church.
The first French revolution was another
period of visionary, innovating extrava-
gance. For the last twenty years we, in
this country, have been passing through
another. The characteristic of such pc
RODS IS residences divorced from intellect.
1t is curious to observe how every man of
superior capacity has been flung aside and
discredited by the party in this country
which mounts on the whirlwind and rides
the storm. Clay and Webster survived
their popularity with former suppOrters,
who transferred their confidence to Seward
and Chase. These idols of ten years ago
are now, in their turn, contemptuonsly
cast aside TO give place to crotchetty, ILL
balanced minds like Sumner, and Stevens,
and Greeley.
This being period in which the inno-
waiting spirit has broken loose and run Wild
the minor squads of fanatics naturally hang
about the skirts of the main army, seeking
its countenance and protection, and foraging
in its neighborhooG. They are all inspired
by one common spirit of unreasoning inno-
walton. They have all the same arrogant
passion for domineeriHg over others, and
forcing their notions and practices upon
society. They have all the same uneasy
craving for excitement, the same adherence
of quiet, the same vulgar lack of reverence
for anything which ia established, the same
incspacity for cool reflection. When inno-
walton proceeds 10 such extravagant lengths,
it is the certain forerunner of reaction.
Ailer the wild sects which were spawned in
the last days of Luther, Professionalism made
no further progress. The extravaganza Of
the Roundheads reconCiled the English ma
ton TO the restoration of the Stuarts. France
accepted refuge from the madness of her
revoluiionists behind the throne of Napo-
leon And the signs are neither few nor
Obscure that this country 10 becoming ia
tigued and disgusted with the Radicalism
which has proceeded to such a pitch in our
politics. God grant that the reaction may
not carry us to the other extreme Of IRA
tional adherence to a past which the coun-
try has in some respects OutgrOwn

~ STANTON A COWARD

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Commercial
WAsHTEGToE, April 14.-Gen. Sherman
testified that Mr.. johnson promised to him
that Stanton was cowardly. This fact is
very patent here To those persons whom
he can overawe, Stanton is a roaring lion.
He ia meek as a ring-doVe TO people who
can put him upon any equality. During
this long dd interim season be has been
afraid to quit the War Department, sleep
ing there of nights to the amusement Of
men of all opinions, Even old General
Thomas said:
mo man but one who would do a mean
thing himself would act as Stanton expects
me to act. He thinks / would slip in there
in the night and seize his Office. A poll
tician might do this, not soldier"
Mr.. Stanton's cowardice has been tested
here very often. One of his reasons for
keeping General" Detective Baker in his
employment was to watch his house
and keep assassins, imagined or supposed,
away. During much of the war he lived
haunted existence, relieved by spasmodic
clustering. Indeed, the advance charac-
tiers in the impeachment trial are good
deal like Falstah7s band. Stanton is Nym,
Wade ia Pistol, Howard with his red nose,
Is Bardolph, Butler is Faststi, with his
eye in mourning, Bingham is old Mistress
Quickley and Forney is the convenient
young woman of the play, a camp follower,
who will sleep anywhere.

would have no fellowship with men who
side with the national (RadicaD party"

RADICAL PRESSURE ON SENATOR'S
EO d0AXIGT

There is evidence that a powerful
and determined pressure has been
brought to bear upon the Radical Sena-
tors to convict and depose the President
A Washington correspondent Of the Gin
cinnah Commercial, who states he is
Republican, writes on the 18th inst. as
follows
"You have little idea, at your distance
from the capital, Of the pressure brought
TO bear upon the Senate to make them con-
Wet Mr. johnson. Not only are the mails
full Of admonitory letters, entreaties, APP
peals to ambition and fear, and laments
for the party, If johnson be not convicted !;
but the Republican newspapers, in the ma
jority Of cases, flourish the whip and i'm
precste upon the personal heads OF their
Senators. Northern men who live in the
South have been imported here to add
their beseechings. It il almost needless
here to add that all those present are aspi-
rants for Office in the Southern States"
The world never witnessed just such a
moekery as is now being enacted in
Washington Here is member Of the
dominant party in Congress coniessing
that no considerations ofright and justice
are thought Of but party expediency
alone is the basis for the appeals that are
addressed to Senators to forget their
oaths and convict the President And
these appeals are framed so as to take
any and every shape that viii reach the
Senators addressed What common
tary upon the inherent justice Of the peo-
pie. 1t is scarcely to be wondered at
that Senators falter under the insidiOus
appeals made to them in the name of and
to save the party. It will require great
deal Of moral courage to resist the press
sure which it is perfectly evident is being
brought to bear upon every Republican
Senator 1t is disgraceful that such a
course should be tolerated, yet it is the
weapon with which desperate, revolu-
tionary men hope to win

The McGee AssassinntIou.

OTTAWA, April 22.-The evidence
against Whelan is daily becoming stronger.
Since his arrest he has voluntarily made
several important admissions.
Patrick Buckley, door-keeper of the
House of Commons, has been arrested in
consequence ofthe contradictory nature of
his evidence before the Police Magistrate.
From the correspondence laid before the
House yesterday, in reference to the abduc.
ton of Allen Mcdonald, Lord Monck
will not acknowledge Mr.. Stewards courtsey
as Characteristic. His conduct on every
occasion in which His Excellency has had
to appeal to him, rather snuhs the British
Ambassador for declining TO accept Mr..
Stewards offer to surrender Mcdonald
without giving His Excellency an oppor-
tunity for informing.
