..¦.rat Graat .¦ tl»e Jmn .!?.*..lh» Pralttai'i UUrAtMM «Uk HitPlaa*.General Lee announced to the rebel authori¬

ties oo Monday, June 6, that Grant hadwithdrawn from hia left and centre, and Seore-tary Stanton now annonnoes to the Northernpublio that "the movement ia in successfulprogress." It cannot, therefore, be contrabandto say that the base of supplies at the WhiteHouse has probably been abandoned by thistime, aud that the Army of the Potomac is oncemore in motion. Lee's cavalry was on thenorth bank of the James river last Saturdaynight, and thnt day Grant's cannon were heardwith great distinctness in General Butler'scamp. Grant was nearer to the James riverthen than be had been on the Cbickahomiof.He is therefore moving towards that river. Hisdeliberate choice to adopt the James as a linoof communication, and to open a new base on

that river, will finally silence, it is to be hoped,those doubting critics who urge that McClellanonly adopted such a course under the pressureof defeat. Grant is then substantially whereMcClellan was two years ago; but be iB thereunder better auspices. His initiative is tooapparent to be doubtful even to the dullestperson; he has a large aud well suppliedarmy, and if he has not the complete andhearty support of his governmeut he is certainlynot directly opposed by it There is no personin Washington who dare order him to relinquisha base that be knows to be the best he can got.

Grant's movement to the James will perhapsonce more opeu the question of a rebel ad¬vance to Washington. Such an advaaoe was

one of the administration bugbears in 1802.McClellan, on the Jamas, was not betweenWashington and Lee's army, and thereforeWashington was In danger. Grant is now notbetween Washington and Lee's army, nor hashe been so during the greater part of the timesince he left the Kapidun. He has repeatedlyleft the road to Washington opeu to liee, andLee has constantly preferred to move awuyfrom that city. There is no more danger thatLee will suddenly start for Washington now

than there was that he woHld do so when Grautbegan his southward march from SpottsylvaniaCourt House. Uuly a person saturated withthe Washington stupidity could suppose that,aside from the abandonment of Richmond,General Lee would undertake a march of a

hundred miles, through a barren country, withthe Army of the Potomac in bis rear. No cityhut Richmond is In danger with Grant on tboJames river.

it is now forty days since Grant crossed theKupidun river. The first hurrahs aro donewith, the smoke has cleared away, and we be¬gin to see the more important events of tbocampaign in their true light. We see veryclearly that wo have not yet gotten throughwith the abuse of administrative interference.We see that the President, not satisfied with theawful sacrifices of life that his political schemeshad cost the country in other campaigns, hasmade greater ones in this. Once more the Pre¬sident has directly subordinated the militarynecessities of the country to liis political in¬trigues. At the very outset of the great cam¬

paign of 18!i2 the President rendered our suc¬cess nearly impossible by making five independent commands in Virginia, where there ou^hlto have been but oue. He deliberately pre¬vented the succoss ot our cause for tear thntthe popularity of the commander w ho shouldtake Richmond would be used as politicalcapital against his party.By that act, and later ones of the sa.rue na¬

ture, be crushed a commander who had theability to put the rebellion down. Then we

bud four commanders who had not that ability,aud for whom he bad no fpur. Under thosecommanders matters got to sucli u desperatestrait that Congress was compelled to act, andcalled Grant to the command of our amies.In that choice the President could only ac¬

quiesce. But be has already begun to employagainst this general the very tactics by whichhe prevented the success of our cau.-e underGeneral McGlellan, aud with what effect tin-

present position of the contest shows. HudGeneral Grant been left aioiie. with his simplebut admirable plan for the destruction of Lee'sarmy, be would have put t! e Jauu-s river a-idthe va ley columns under the command ofstaunch military men, and not under flatulentpolitic ans. With the valley column underHunter, and the James river column underBuldy Smith, the work laid out for thosecolumns would have been efficientlydone, and the campaign would havebeen gloriously ended twenty days agom the rout of Lee's army. But thePresident forced upon him for the commandersof those columns men of known and proven in¬competency; men who, tried many times, havefailed always; men without knowledge or

common sense, without genius or judgment,without anything whatever but political in-fluence. As an inevitable consequence, neithercolumn even approached its object; we lost theresult of the desperate lighting on the Rapldanby their failure, and our cause is still in thebalance.Only the President is responsible for this.

He, by atrociously subordinating the cause ofthe country to bis personal advantage, hasagain deferred our Buccess, und if he is to go on

we sec no promise in the future. Military ge¬nius is useless.the dreadful carnage of a monthof battles is useless.if a politician-in Washing¬ton may nullify all that is done simply to fur¬ther a party scheme. And there is no hope atall for success unless In some way the peoplecan rise in their might and demaud that Gen¬eral Grant be left alone with the sole and su¬

preme direction of our armies.

Tbu Turku Hcndreb Dollars ExemptionClause..We see that an effort will be made toretain the three hundred dollars exemptionclause. This is doubtless a wise course to pur¬sue, as otborwise the people will find the draft a

most oppressive measure. The complaint madeagainst this obnoxious clause Is that Itjtakesthe poor man and allows the rich to escape.This is far mors applicable to a draft whichaccepts no exemption, but demands a substi¬tute. These will, of course, Increase vastly Inprice, and then it may truly be said that none

but the wealthy will escape ths draft. Many ofthose who support families on their salaries or

earnings, by making a great effort, may raisethree hundred dollars, and by paying ibis sum tothe government be spared to those who could notexist without them, save In abject poverty. Putup the price of a substitute to on# thousanddollars, and the persons wo refer to would findit impossible to obtain so large t sum, andwould be forced to serve, thus entailing upontbeir families much suffering. The alternative9f flying from the country would do jUsee he

retorted to, and it may be feared that to manyInstance* a determined resistanoe would bemade to tbe draft as a cruel measure. Toavoid all this Congress has but to retain tbeexemption clause. ? draft is at best a mostunpopular measure In this country, and it oer-

taioly is the duty of those in authority to ren¬der it as little oppressive as possible.Arrival of Max!mlllaa la tlcxUo.Start-

lag af tfe* Raw Empire.The steamer Mexico, wbiob arrived yesterday

from Havana, brings us the news of the arrivalof the Emperor Maximilian at Vera Crux, andof his reception by the people of tbe TrueCross. That oity seemed to have turned outeri masse to see tbe sight.a new one to tbem;for it is many years since the Emperor Iturbidoreigned imperially over that rich but wrctohedcountry.Tbe new empire is thus inaugurated. We

now have two imperial governments on thiscontinent.that of Don Pedro, of.Brav.il, a veryrespectable institution, and that of Maxiuiiliau,of Mexico, llow many more are to be carvedout of Hpauish America remain* to be seen.

Spain is preparing for one in Peru. Maxi¬milian founds iiis on the gold and silver depo¬sits of Mexico. Isabella intends to establishhers on the guano deposits of Chincha. Theyare equally rich in their way.About the time of tbe arrival of Maximilian

Ilapsburg, with bis troupe of European states¬men, to 6et up liia empire in the lialls of theMontezumas, Maximilian Maretzek, with libstroupe of European prime donne, will proba¬bly make his appearance in the new imperialcapital to set up the grand Italian Opera.The two Maxes go to make money. Oneleaves his beautiful rotreat at Mirair.nr,in the lovely shade of Trieste, to establish a

great empire and pay his debts; the otherdeserts bis lovely villa on the magnificentIsland of Staten, in the Bay of New York,to seek fame and riches amidst the fashionand folly and gayety and guerillus ofthe city of Mexico. Maximilian Maretv.okwill undoubtedly be the happier and more

prosperous of the two vnpressariL IIo isalready a millionaire; is experienced in hisline; has always made money in exchanginghis notes for gold and silver; is out of debtand has a full bank account. MaximilianHapsburg, on the other hand, has just started inthe business of making empires, and may fail.He begins on borrowed capital, and is up tohis ears in debt of long standing iu his previ¬ous operations.But the great problem is to bo solved. It is

Bat there is another cabinet of curiot-itieewhich is atti acting almost us general publicattention as Lincoln's Cabinof. Of courso we

refer 1o llellcr's cabinet. Mr. Heller is one oCthe neatest, cleverest and wittiest philosopher#we have hud in this city for mauya long day. Indeed, he is ahead ofother philosopher# in several of hi# feat#,and can only be surpassed by Conjun r Chasein the art of making mouey. ITellei's cabinetis exhibited every evening at his establishmenton BrondWHV. called the Devil's Drawing-room. A splendid fruit store, full of lusoiou«grape# and delicious banana# and goldenoranges, and kept by a descendant of Rem¬brandt, the great painter, is on the north side.A millinery store, or something of that kind, ison the south side. Between these stores, andprecisely opposite the Metropolitan Hotel,where Mrs. Lincoln always stops, is the Devil'sDrawlngroom. JleHer keeps bis cabinet inthis satanic saloon; and a very wonderful cabi¬net it is. With it be produces all the spiritualphenomena, and beats the spiritualists upontheir own ground. The ringing of bells, thesound of musical instruments, the visionaryhands, the voices from the spirit land and thetying and untying of tightly knottedropes arc performed by Heller as wellas by the so-called mediums. Yet licl-ler is no medium and does not employ any.The only medium with which he has any con¬

nection is the circulating medium. By the aidof electricity, a magic lantern and certain pecu¬liar applications of natural philosophy, be de¬monstrates that the spiritual manifestations can

be easily reproduced, and thus reduces spiritual¬ism to the rank of jugglery, and shows the ut¬ter absurdity of the pretended communicationsfrom the dead.For these reasons we pronounce Heller's

cabinet <^iite a# curious a concern as Qld Abe'sCabinet. The one serves to expose the tricksof spiritual mediums, the otber to expose thetricks of political mediums. Seward rings hislittle bell in Lincoln's Cabinet; but we knowM to be all jugglery, like the bell-ringing inHoller's cabinet. Every once in a while we

bear the sound of musical instruments fromthe White House; but we know that it is onlyLincoln's Cabinet members blowing their ownbonis, just as the men In Heller's cabinet do.Now and then Lincoln shows bis band; bnt we

know it to be nothing but a trick, tramped upto deceive the spectators, exactly as Hellershows as a band at his exhibitions. At inter¬vals ws are told to listen to the mysteriousvoices from Lincoln's Cabinet; bat we knowthem to be all hnmhng and deception, "meresound and fury, signifying nothing." As forthe tying and untying dodge, Lincoln has beenwotlung at that until all Ida too* act as-

hausted. First be tied himsetr to tbe consiitu*lion. Then he untied himself end hitched onto the revolutionary radicals. Finding thatthis rope choked him, be unfastened himself.(fain, and spliced himself to the conserva¬tives, amid loud applause. After remain¬ing bound in this position for a shorttime he loosed tbe knots and tookhold of tbe radical rope once more. But latbe meantime the radicals had discovered thecheat, and they exposed it unmercifully at theCleveland Convention. Then Lincoln beganto catch at straws.the Baltimore Convention,for instance. But we are in favor of givinghim a little more rope, confidently believingthat he will succeed in hanging himself beforethe November election. ITeller does this ropetying feat much more satisfactorily, and accom¬panies the performance with much wittier anda great deal more refined jokes than Old Abehas ever yet uttered. In fact, although Lincolnkeeps his Cabinet together by peculiaetappli-cations of natural philosophy, just as Heilordoes, yet there ie no corruption and not theslightest evidence of shoddy in Heller's cabi¬net, while the "devil's dust" in Lincoln's Cabi¬net is very offensive to people of patriotiotastes. Lincoln will pass into history as a

brilliant example of what a good Presidentought not to be; bat lleller must take higherrank, and stand on a level with Martin Luther,Bacon, Newton and other philosophical reform¬ers, since he bos clearly proven that tbe newreligion which tbe spiritualists seek to estab¬lish depends upon sleight of-band aud sleight-of-foot, and optical delusions and juggling ap¬paratus for all its cfaoioest miracles.

Judge Rumei'a C&urge on the Suppres¬sion of Newspaper*.

The charge of Judge Ruasel in relation to thesuppression of newspapers in this city, by au¬

thority of the President of the United States,has produced a profound sensation. Tbe lead¬ing journals refer to it in tuvorable terms, andcommend the high toned views of the Judge inregard to the act us just and very proper.We think, however, that Judge Russel slightly

errs in his opinion In regard to the parties whoshould be held responsible for the arbitraryexploit. He recommends the Grand Jury toiud:ct those who committed the depredation.the soldiers who took actual possession of tbepremises of the newspapers, and by tho pre¬sence of force forbid their publication. It isnot these men, we bold, who are the responsi¬ble parties. It is not even the military com¬mandant of the district who is accountable forthe stretch of power. As well might the hum¬ble constable or deputy who serves u warrantissued by his Honor be made answerable forany inlormality of proceeding on the part ofthe court as tor a file of United Sta'es soldiersto be held responsible for the net of their supe¬rior officers. These persons are but the instru¬ments used by a higher power to execute a cer¬tain process. They are tbe agents, who knowno other law than to obey orders and carry outtbe mandates of their chiefs. It is not thesepoor uien, nor their immediate commanders,who are amenable for the acts referred to; forthe orders to have thprn executed emanatedfrom the highest military authority kuown un¬der tho constitution.the I'resideut of theUnited States. It is the President who isthe responsible party. It was by his com¬mand these newspaper offices were clorscd andplaced under military surveillance. R is thoI'resideut of the United States who should beInd cted, if anybody is to bo indicted; for upouhitn rest the blame and the burthen of anyviolation of the constitution of the UnitedStates involved in the question. But how are

you to secure thn personal appearance of thePresident of the Unilod States before the courtif he be indicted? You will bare to order thePresident to arrest the President, and that willbe uu operation attended with some difficulty;for he is rarely found long enough steady on a

single point to be touched even with theitriarrnu arms of tho law. You cannot verywell impeach hitn; for if Congress over mcd'-latcd doing anything of the k nd the Executivemight t avo boeu impeached for violating theconstitution long a/o. But have not the courtssome authority in the ma'ter? They are estab¬lished and worked under tbe constitution o

the United States, a? well a under t' » laws o.

tho State; the judges take an oath to supportthe federal constitution,as the Pros dent swearsto defend it. The courts have clearly the rightto say, then, whether the President has violatedthe constitution of the United St tea by tramp¬ling upon the State laws and setting at defiancethe State authority and dimity, and imperillingunlawfully the personal liberty of its citizens.But here's the muddle: What are you going todo about it? President Lincoln may bo politelyrequested to come before his Honor JudgeRussel, of the Court ot General Sessions ofthe city of New York, and answer to an indict¬ment for violating the laws of the .State. Butwill he couic? Will he stop the bnsiness ofswapping horses, cracking his broad jokes,bamboozling his Cabinet; above all, will besuppress his lofty, peacock-like military aspira¬tions, to answer a summons like this, even if itdo emanate from a dignitary possessing so

much learning, urbanity and personal popu¬larity as Judge Rnsscl? We think not. unlessbe come di^gui^d in .'* long military cloakand Scotch cap," bieiDg his way back to the

pcacoful shade* of the Tillage of Springfield,Illinois, ashamed and afraid to look Into thefaces of a people he baa wronged and deceivedand nearly mined by bia egregious imbecilityas a ruler, and who have become disgusted atbis shameless levity ia these terrible times ofblood and carnage. No. Honest Old Abe isnot coming to the city of New York upon thestrength of the warrant of a criminal juditejust at present.. Now, how can the people ofthe State of New York and uf the country atlarge obtain satisfaction for the muny oppres¬sive acta and criminal blunders President Lin¬coln has committed for over three years past,including this one of suppressing two NewYork newspapers T It is by seeing that thereis no possibility of bis re-elocUon; it is byorganizing and concentrating every element of

opposition against him; it is by sinking all oldparty prejudice* in the one grand effort tehurl from power forever the herd of incom¬

petent rulers who have brought the country tothe verge of ruin, and to re erect the republicupon a basis never to be again shaken by KingShoddy or any of bia miserable and corruptworshippers.In bia charge Judge Rnssel, we think, baa

made another mistake. It Is In relation to theold Allen and Sedition law. All nnthoritiesagree in defining It to be merely a law of libel,operative against individuals, hot not againstthe preea. It was deemed oppressive in Its ope¬ration* ssooclnlLy (gainst aliens. Tbn law wan

never repealed, but has eo long mmilood adead letter that its reaurreotioa would belike therevival of a law of the Modes and Persloao ooimaking it applioable to the present times. Oathe whole, we repeat, Judge Russel'e charge iaa capital one, and if he can manage to producethe oorpus of the oalj responsible party in sup¬pressing the two New York newspaper*.thePresident of the Uuited States.to answer tean indictment for violating the laws and themiyeaty of the State of New York, he will bedoing a good thing for the eountry, and estab¬lish a precedent that may prevent for the fu¬ture a recurrence of the outrages complainedof.

Lincoln's Bard Road to Cite Proel-deecyr.

Old Abe has at length found a hard roadto travel in his effort to remain master of the

for another term. During hi*present term he has had a constant quarrel iahis Cabinet; but, in allowing temporary expe¬diency to govern his action, he hna managed tecontrol in this way the conflicting elementalHis friends lay great stress upon the platformadapted at Baltimore, as furnishing a settle¬ment of all these difficulties. But the platformis a transparent humbug, and oan deceive no

one. It is a mero jumble of words thrown to¬gether to make a jingle, like that of a sheriff*ball when he is about to sell some unfortunateperson's chattels uuder attachment. Instead ofsettling the Cabinet wrangle, it has, In the sixthresolution, a thrust which rekindles the lateatembers and opens up the controversy mora

Gorcely than heretofore. The Convention, iathat resolution, declared "That we deem IIessential to the general welfare that harmonyshould prevail in tbo national councils; and we

regard as worthy of public confidence endofficial trust those only who oordially endorsethe principles proclaimed in these resolution#,and which should characterize the administra¬tion of the government."

This is so ambiguous in its terms that eachmember of tho Cabinet declares that it doesnot mean him, but Borne other Cabinet minister.Since the platform means anything that enyperson may desire to hare it, as a matter ofcourse every individual member of Mr. Lin¬coln's official family endorses it. Therefore itdoes net apply to them. If the President,under such circumstances, turns out any of hissecroturies, that makes him and his friends an

oppone it. If, on the other band, he goes buckof the platform and takes tho incidents of theConvention as proof as to which of his advisersthey desired bim to remove, he finds no relief.It may be urged that because llatnlin scouredthe appointment of Rip Vuu Winkle Wellesto the Navy he was thrown overboard by theConvention; therefore Welles is the Cabinetofficial meant. But in sending Gideon his walk¬ing papers it sevors the la^t tic, and securesHamlin's and Welles' friends against theticket. If he t»k »s the rough treatment of theBiairs by the Convention as his guide, andorders Montgomery Blair to vacate tho Post¬master's Department, he strikes a blow at theoriginal movers for ids reuominatiou, and turnsthe Blair family, Erst and West, azainst bim.Whatever the Convention may have done, theBiairs have got tho King's name, and it will bedangerous to turn a cold shoulder to them atthis crisis. If he accepts the views of the friendsof Chase, and demands the portfolio of the StateDepartment, now held by Secretary Seward,he will meet the response from that quarter."My friends ran tho Couvention, and you cannotget along without us, inasmuch as we have thocontrol of the National Committee, and can

make the campaign a fizzle." I ', on the otherhand, he sides with St ward's friends, and in¬forms Secretary Chase that ho has decided togive some other ptrsou au opportunity tomanufacture greenbacks, be meets with thoretort that Seward and liia friend* ra.»y manipu¬late delegate* to a convention; but they cannotcoulrol the voters or prevent the radicals frotagoing over to Fremont. Thus, from whateverstandpoint he may view the Held or survey tboPresidential road, it is full of vewning gulfband precipices. It may therefore be truly saidthat Mr. Lincoln finds the Presidential road a

hard road to travel.Ft matters not how much the politician* may

rare, how bitter the controversy they may gelup over the Cabinet, or w: at sweet promiseethey may make to tbeir deluded followers, thornwill be no change in tho Cabinet. The electionoi Mr. Lincoln means tie* continuation of tbepresent Secretaries and the h .rdes of official#now enjoying the spoils of office throughout tho

country during the next form. This is the inter¬pretation of the present army of offl cboldera.lience their attendance upon tho Convcutlonat Haiti more, and their constant chatteringfor Lincoln. It is a fight for the ina torerrm'n in and to prevent any change Intbe division of the plunder. Such appearsto be the understanding of tbe masses; forthe nomination of Lincoln has fallen like a

wet blanket upon the country. When Old Abowas nominated at Chicago a ratification meet¬ing was held in this city within forty-eighthours after it* announcement. Now it baabeen one week before a meeting is held, andnobody but officeholders enlist in getting upthe movement at that. C rtaialy this does no#augur well for the campaign. Defore the Treri-dent knows it his origins) supporters will allbe enlisted in tbe movement for Fremont, andwhen election day comes he will find that hitvoters are simply officeholders, shoddytractors and sboddyites generally.
