Cutting Deep.

The Radical Congress, in it's extrava-
gance and proAigacy, acted on the idea
that the heavier the taxes on the peo-
pie, the heavier should be the expendi-
ture, and especially the salaries of the
members. Instead of cutting down ex-
penditures, and salaries, thereby max
room for a reduction Of taxes, the Con-
gress actedo on the opposite idea. We
r told that the people will excuse all
that, as the Congress labored so indust-
riOusly for the negro, and to head the
President. One of the Radical orators
told US Saturday night, that it makes
no difference how much the Congress.
men pay themselves. That is what
the Radical Congress thought. Pile on
the taxes upon the people, their backs
are broad and purses deep and full, and
help ourselves and friends, was the
Radical motto.IGClncinnati Enquirer

What Congress Has Done for

President johnson, in his able and intrepid
ST. Louis speech, thus describes what the
Rump Congress has done for tho soldiers;
"rhey pretended 10 do something for the
soldiers. Who has done more for the soldiers

A CruIe Take-down.

The crazy ones o fthe "loyal Conven-
ton" went beside themselves over a
reliable dispatch received by one ofthe
delegates, that General Grant and Adj
miral Farragut had left the Presiden-
tial party at Cleveland and gone to
Detroit. They cheered and danced,
and cut up antics as if they were 80
many monkies. They had hardly got
through the performance before anoth-
er dispatch came, announcing that the
President and party had arrived at
Detroit, where General Grant was wait
ing in a carriage to receive Mr.. John
son. That sobered them for a moment
and until a dusky orator fred them up
again on the subject Of negro suffrage.

We hear much about breaches OF contract
on the part Of freedmen The tact OF the
case is, th.t few genuine contracts are VI
olated The negro, like any other parry, II
he finds that he has oyer-estimated the de-
STABILITY of situation, begins TO enquire
into the strength of the tenure by which be
is held, aud if he finds gate left vice open,
and the banner of the law flying overheard,
he steps out, and that flag protects him
Several such eases have been brought 6efore
mayor Kidd, and he decided against the
legality of the bond, and supported the ne
groes in their alarm to the right of leaving
their employers. We have heard OF 10 ne
groes, legally bound, who have violoted the
bond fsuch cases occur, the matter Is IN
the hands of the employer, and he can,
through the medium of existing laws, for
tify his position. The law imposes heavy
penalty upon the man who shall give en-
ployment to the violater of faith Let the
negro alone and watch him if employed,
proceed with the utmost vigur against the
employer; exact the full penalty of the
law. II yoH do this, you erect wall of adj
amant around your plantation that the Ia
borer cannot pass if legally held, for no
white man will dare To employ him, and he
must be faithful TO bis contract, or staFve.
Our readers will do well to take this view Of
the case, and shape their contracts aeeor-
dinghy. If they do this, and fulfill their
own agreements they need have no fear of
the desertion of freedmen.-Sunny South.
