every one understands that the tariff works

question is, how fares the Great West?
These New England manufacturers have
no opposition to contend against. Their
manufactures are none of them sent from
the country. but consumed ut home, while
our ports are closed TO free foreign impor-

feat of the bill 70 allow blacks to testify in

to Parson Brownlow, whom it very prom
erly characterises "d Reverend blackguayd.
styled GoUeyHOr." We are glad the Parson
has been found out. And we rejoice still
more that his ''loyal" friends are beginning
TO tell the truth about him. Not very long
ago all kinds of dishonesty and blackgIlard-
ism were condoned in the name of 'loy-
atty" and all that any scamp needed to
wash his scarlet hands as white as snow,
was to put on the garb of supporting the
government" But there seems to be a
change in this particular. Counterfeit coin
will no longer pass current because it has
the stamp of "loyalty' on its brazen face.
There seems to be some chance now that
rogues may be dealtwith as theirrogueries
deserve.

IT appears that Maj.-Gen Baird was first appointed
by the president to supercede MIR Conway, but did not
accept. Gen Fullerton, who adjutant general on
the staff Of Gen. Howard, then appointed"
The experience which Mr.. Conway has had in this
department will enable him to conduct the affairs of
the bureau with practical knowledge of all its duties
and details which will be Of the highest advantage to
him. Many Of the erroneous notions and perhaps some
of the preudces which he adhered to his arrival at
New Orleans have been removed by time and the stern
logic Of events. We believe Mr. Conway has been con
scientous in the discharge Of his arduous duties and
has made an efficient officer

NORTHERN PAPERs.-The following from the Calves
ton Civilian COMFORTS well with our views that we
make room for it in our columns
We see that our southern exchanges begin to repub
fish the prospectuses of the fashy and trashy papers
of the north and to puff such works into circulation
the south. Publications of real meTt-such as "mend
the manners and improve the heart" or convey solid
and useful information of any knd-beong to no par
cular section and deserve to be read wherever thew
can benefit the public but the dime novels and hashy
cheap papers, with no object but to make money and
willing to cater to any morbid popular feeling or pam
per any vice that will bring money into their Golfers
should be left to draw their support from the corrupt
masses among which they are published Half the
money sent from the south to support such publca-
tons, before the war; would have given lis respecta-
Bile literature of own, and not made thousands of
people the dupes and imators Of the fashionable
apes of the north and their trumpeters themselves
copyists and carcaturists of the frivolous fashionable
classes of Europe Almost every county of the south
has been in the habit of renting money enough for
works of this class to support respectable journal at
home, which would to insert many of the things
published at the north which, were the laws enforced
would be indctabe here
There are hundreds of mertorous and useful papers
published IN the northern States which may be read
with profit; but they seem to be mostly neglected by
our citizens The Courier journal and Post at Bos-
ton; the Journal of Commerce, and some other New
York papers, and similar journals in almost all the
cities are worthy of patronage anywhere They are
not devoted to sms, sectional in feeling or demoraliz
ing in tendency; and they do not wanonly and habit
uay pervert the TRUTH and exaggerate everything as
some Of the sensation papers do.

A PHRENoLoGICAL VIEW OF President JOHNSON III
8 recent number Of the chronological Journal, we iind
this analysis of the character of ANDY johnson "
''Phrenologcally considered he has a large brain,
we'll supported by excellent constitution The brain
is specially heavy in the base including large perspec
tive organs broad between the ears, in destructive
ness combativeness and alimentiveness large in the
lower back-head including the social Affections and
it not that Mr.. Johnson has also full top head,
including cOnScieLtiOusness, yeneratOH and beneyo-
lence, he would, indeed be mperlous and despotc As
is he possesses very strong WILL the greatest fort
tude and almost unlimited powers of endurance, with
courage and force to match Cautiousness is not over
large secretveness is full and the intellectual facul-
ties are prominent and active. Sefeseem is full and
considerable pride of character will be manifested.
Owing to large Appropriateness, he will never be
naughty, proud or domneering, but will be modest,
Just respectful and udicious, but always strong and
earnest That he will freely confer with his advisers
getting the best Judgment from all sources there can
be no doubt; and that he will be of the sua-
ton be governed by what he concees to be right and
proper, holding all men to themost rigid accountability
to principles, there can be question.
There will be chid's play with such He
will be calm, sefregulated and determined His or
ganisation will incline him to take comprehensive
view of questions and to consider the interests of the
people There is nothing arstocratic in his compost
on but he is emnently democratic, in the best
of that term-grantng the rights to all men that
he claims for himself There is not the slightest touch
pretension to royalty, or the feeling that Il am bet
ter than thou' nor would he play the sycophant to
lords crowned heads He is, and always will be-
plain Andrew Johnson. He be used by others only
in the interest of the people. He is benevolent, and
even reformatory spirit, but conservative in princ
pie If severe to the wicked he win be lust and to
the humble and peniten he viii be kind. His physiog
nomy has expression of anxious care though he
peering into the futuretrying divine the will
of Providence. He has not that Joyous hopeful sun
ny expression which illumined the face of Mr. Lincoln
but is sedate and sternlooking which is in
keeping with the character of the man Mr. Lincolns
head was narrow between the ears Mr.. Johnson's is
very broad at this point. Mr. Lincon's was high in
the centre, indicating humility, meekness and devoon
Mr. johnson is not deficient in these organs but they
do not exert very marked influence. Executiveness
is the leading trait of his characters and be his pres
dentia career success or failure, it will not lack
propellng power, the spirit to punish wickedness.

sees penitence the part of the offender"

Coon TDEA.-The Louisiana Democrat Of the 18th
nst says of the citizens of Rapides parish ap
piled to the authorities for permission to form hem
selves into companies for the protection against ayess
persons. Col. Schofeld, Immediately authorised the
formation of all such companies may be authorised
by the district court and enons upon every officer and
soldier of his command to afford all aid in their power
to the civil authorities. We think that it would be an
excelentidea for the citizens Of Caddo parish to follow
in the footsteps of Rapdes parish and have doubt
that they would meet with like success We call upon
our citizens to make the trial.
