The INTERNAL REVENUE OFHCERs.-Now that
President johnson has made commencement
In removing radical officials II will be well for
him to extend his work to the collectors and
assessors under the Internal Revenue law. A
large majority Of these assessors and collectors
are Chase men, appointed because they were
identified with that interest, and should now
be compelled TO give way to conservative re-
publicans These officials can WELD an i'm
mcnse power and thus become formidable
machine in the hands Of the radicals and
against the policy Of the present admnistra-
ton. Mr.. johnson owes II to himself, to those
conservative republicans who have come for
ward and stood by him, as well as to the coun-
try, to place all these ofnces in the hands Of
stanch Union republicans, instead Of the pre-.
sent set Of Chase revolutionists sad disorgan.

The Failure OF the Reconstruction Conn
mittcc-ConGress all at Sea.
We are not surprised to hear from Washing
ton that the Congressional Joint Committee OF
Reconstruction has practically fallen to pieces;
that "at their last meeting the members failed
to agree upon Robert Dale Owens plan or any
other plan, and split" that "the delegations
from each State separately have agreed to de-
lberate upon plan of reconstruction, inde-
pendently OF the committee and report to the
House., and that Thad Stevens acknowledges
that all his experiments to solve the problem
have filled 10 meet the case. The two houses
OF Congress, therefore, after nearly five months
of deliberation. investigation and discussion,
are all at sea, like a disabled ship in a fog,
drifting among the shoals and breakers Of a
dangerous coast.
With the organization of the two houses In
December last II was resolved between them
that all matters relating TO the States recently
In rebellion should be referred to joint COM
mttee of fifteen, and without debate, and that
no member elected to either house from any
one OF said States should be admitted short of
a report from this committee and its adoption
by the two houses declaring such State duly
reconstructed and qualified for readmission
into the national councils. The doors were
closed and the functions Of the two houses
were surrendered into the hands Of this joint
committee and the committee into the bands
of Thaddeus Stevens Now, after Ave months
OF tinkering experiments in the shape Of con-
nd Inf Inn
and after the examination Of cloud Of wit
nesses OF all sorts, whites and blacks, civilians
and soldiers, loyalsis and rebels, men and
women, upon the present condition, poliii-
cal and social, OF the late insurgent
States, II appears that Stevens and his
committee, and the two houses, are COM
pletely muddled and know not what to do.
With oil the outside assistance vouchsafed
them from Wendell Phillips, Fred Douglass,
General Ben Butler, Robert Dale Owen, Mrs.
| Swisshelm, Anna Dickinson, and host Of
others-rcformers, rcconstructors, philanthro-
pists. lawyers. editors, divines and spiritual
| isis-thc committee are still befogged. The
confusion Of tongues which dispersed the
builders Of Babel has crept in among them,
and the same fate most probably awaits them.
What the radical majority Of each house Of
Congress 10 really driving at is the Presiden-
tial succession. This the radicals believe TO

Boous EcoxoxY-One Of the radical journals,
too silly 10 comprehend the real and important
point at issue, advocates the withdrawal Of our
Minister from Austria, on the ground that IL
would save the few thousand dollars paid him
for his salary. This incident clearly reveals
the iAlse ideas which the radicals have about
our greatness as . nation end the bogus
economy with which they seek 70 cover up
their resi extravagance. These radicals would

principal courts Of EurQps IN order V ave .
