back seats, whereas their proper place would
be in the very front Of the instrument in the
form of a bill of rights. These instances will
suffice for illustration; they point TO q kind Of
reduction which can never be performed
except by a convention. There is no reason
why there should remain in the Constitution
things which have ceased to be in force, nor
why the amendments which have cancelled
them should be scattered hap hazard at the
end Of the instrument without being digested
into any order or method.
None of the changes recommended by our
correspondent have a party bearing, cir
cumstance which ought to gain for them q
candid consideration. Most of them are OF
such obvious utility that they will recon-
mend themselves without much argument OF
explanation to all who have watched the
workings of our Government and are &C.
qusinted with the doors by which most oi
the existing abuses have entered. But 1t re-
quires a movement 80 extensive and con
oerted to set in motion the machinery fol
calling a Federal Convention, that we feal
the languid interest our people feel in things
not connected with party politics will prove
insufficient to set the wheels in motion.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-03-06

is explicit and emphatio in insisting that we
can and will pay the uttsrmost farthing; that
we can easily do so from our vast aud daily
sugmenting resources; and that our nHtlonal
honor, our lasting reputation, as well as our
true interest, imperatively requtre that we
should 80 pay. rhis declaration Is worth
countless millions to the labor, oommerce,
and prosperity of the Republic. Mr.. john
sons proposal of reputation would have
damaged us incaculaby II 1t had not been
promptly rebutted by Congress. we nave
heard the last impeachment OF American
honesty, and the last assault upon American
credit, from the Presidential chair
Mr. johnson harps necessarily upon his de-
votion to the Federal Constitution, and winds
up by proposing more radical change than
has ever yet been made. President Grant
simply urges the ratification by the States of
the amendment already adopted by Congress
whether he likes the laws or not he will
obey and enforce them. Mr.. Johnson assails
Congress upon every conceivable ground
even for the failure to try Jefferson Davis
Over that proceeding Congress had no control
whatever. The President makes and directs
District Attorneys, and is charged with the
execution of the laws. The audacity of this
attack outdoes its intrinsic absurdity. Jeffsr-
son Davis was in his hands, as President,
from the time he was captured in the pine
woods of Georgia, and IL was for him to see
that he had a speedy and impartial trial.
Congress had nothing to do with the matter,
one way or the other, and made no effort to
assert our authority. Mr.. Johnson's asser-
tion that he might have kept our vast velun-
teer forces embodied long after the Rebellion
was suppressed, and even employed them in
the prosecution of foreign war, shows him
to be grossly ignorant as well as oonceitsd.
The President has no power to make war.
The Constitution oonfdes that to Congress.
Any attempt on the part of Mr.. Johnson to
have retained our volunteers under arms
when they were no longer needed, would have
rendered him even more detested than he
now is. This expression of his supposed au-
thority only shows how sadly he undertakes
the intelligence and republican spirit of his
countrymen.
1T is a blessed consolation that Andrew
Johnson has ceased to disgrace his country in
public station. He will continue to be the
low, unscrupulous demagogue he has already
80 often proved himself, and is still capable OF
considerable mischief. His power for evil can
never again be tithe of what it was. For
three years he has done all that one bad man
could do to keep the country in turmoil to
strengthen the spirit of Rebellion, and to
excite a war of races. The most he can do
henceforth is to defend as local demagogue
the wrongs which a national calamity so long
| enabled him to enact as President. Let us
thank God that We are so easily and so hap.
| PLY rid of him, and that we can turn oui
faces with hope aud trust to the glad auspices
Of future harmony and prosperity afforded by
the accession and the inaugural of President
| Grant.

of industry and usefulness, to give light to

TO the heart and brain. That such may be the
result of this movement every well wisher OF
Ireland in America, as we'll as in England, may
truly hope.

Shall We Have Federal Convention

From the ". Y. World.
We printed yesterday temperate and
well-reasoned communication advocating
various amendments to the Federal Constitu-
ton; some of them merely for the purpose of
symmetry and pruning away dead limbs and
excrescences, and others for introducing what
most intelligent judges would admit to be
substantial reforms. The changes proposed
by the writer are somewhat numerous, and
could not be very well engrafted on the Con-
stitution except by a convention OF the
States-a machinery OF revision which has
never yet been called into play, although pro-
vided for in the Constitution. Ga the appli-
ca ton of two-thirds of the States, Congress
is obliged to call a convention, and its work,
like separate amendments proposed by Con-
gress, requires the ratification of three-fourths.
We have no hesitation in indorsing the sub
starce of our correspondents recommends
tions, although, on fuller examination, we
might differ from him considerably in details.
We yield to none in veneration for the Con-
stitution; but what we reverence Is its funda-
mental principles, not its excrescences and
| imperfections, it's occasional ambiguous
+; phraseology and obsolete provisions. En-
lightened appreciation OF the great excellences
of that admirable instrument is not promoted
by pedantic and superstitious worship OF its
improbable parts. 1t is not well to be per-
petually tampering with its phraseology and
/
wise, after an experience OF seventy years, and
considering the greatly altered state OF the
country, TO haul the good old ship for once
into the dry-dook for advantageous repairs.
A revision would be worth while, even for
mere symmetry, although that motive is not
sufficiently urgent to justify the calling of a
convention. The separate amendments which
have been from time to time adopted, give
the Constitution patchwork appearance;
the provisions which are annulled or
modified remaining to disfgure the in
strument and the amendments, instead
of falling in their appropriate places in con-
nection with the subjects to which they are
germane, fare tackled on like loose shreds to
the tail OF kite. Thus, there remains in the
article relating to the constitution of the Ex-
ecutive Department the old Obsolete provision
which prevailed before there was separate
vote for Vice President, and we have to seek
In dragging heap OF miscellaneous amend
ments in another place for the actual mode of
eleoting the highest officers of the Govern
ment- So the amendment abolishing slavery
superannuates numerous provisions scattered
through the instrument which grew out OF
the existence Of that institution, and which
now remain not merely as excrescences, bat as
blots. Even the first ten amendments, which
were adopted soon after the organic alton OF
the Government, are showed into obscure
