The following we clip from the Peters

rHE CASE OF REV. q. T. WILLIAMS. rnR AL
LEGGED rICKPoCKET.
The New York papers of Saturday-ouc
and all--contain accounts OF the arrest and
Imprisonment IN that city, on Friday last. OF
Rev. Geo. II. Williams, rector of tile Epis-
cOpal Church at Suffolk, on n charge SO re-
markable that we would fjln discredit It's
truth. No mafwho knows Mr.. Williams, and
there are many here in Petersburg who
nave known him for years, could have
believed him guilty OF the willfnl
crime oi larceny, or suspect him of DELHI
crate commission Of any act repulsiye IA
the feelings of an honorable high-toned
Christian gentleman. Mr.. Williams was
formerly resident of this city, and. we
believe, married here. He was ut one time
Church. but subsequently subscribed to the
Episcopal faith. and was ordained a minis
ter Of that Church. Since his ordination hp
has always been held in good standing, and
by his earnest and consistent labors In be-
half of the great cause to which he devoted
his services was regarded with high esteem
by his brother ministers and all with whom
he was acquainted. We cannot but think
there is some mistake in the charge. nor
haps some fraud, and therefore await with
mtcrcst the issue of the case.

Beecher on Labor and Laborers.


The Rev. HENRY WARD BEECHER in his
sunday Sermon" (so-callcd), among other
things, it is reported, argued:
In the fourth place the question for the
labOring men, who mustconStitute the bulk
of every community. Ii was on them final
lY that the mischiets of bad government
must fall, and upon them chiefly that the
prices We're dear, the rich man did not feel
them, while the poor man did. The form
er could pay advanced prices, the latter
could not. If clothing went up. IL coal
and rents went up, IL the commodities and
necessaries Of lite rose in price they went
beyond the reach of the daily laborer
Then he was obliged TO use less and that of
= coarSer Kind. and so keep on shining still
downward. The oppression always came
upon those that lay mt the bottom of socie-
~. IT, therefore, there were any profit In
public immortality, the rich man reaped il,
and, If any disadvantage. it was the labor
ing man, whose only capital was his talent
or his strength
We were not aware that BEECHER was ca
pablc of telling so much truth in so short Il
space, nor one which applies with such
force to his own party. How truly has
"the public immortality" since 1860 been "A
source of profit to the rich man? Look at
coins Administration on partisan favor
ties. aye, even on the relatives of "the mar
tyr" Mr.. DAWES, of Mass, declared that
the surAs thus stolen In the first year of the
war exceeded the cost of Mr.. BUCHANAN's
yearly Administration, which the AbOli-
tion papers denounced as so wickedly eN-
travagant, that he ought to be turned out
of Office! And while the rich have been
adding to their treasures by this public
immortality how is. 1t with the poor?
Look at the cost of all articles of prime ne
cessity. What are the prices of cotton,
meat, flour, and every other article that the
poor man must have? Verify, the Abol-
tion party have sown public immortality"
and while the rich have reapcd bonds and
greenbacks the poor have reaped only tax

Wages.
[Lynchburg News. ],

A New York paper says the pay of a
needle7wolnan in that city. is eleven cents a
day for making shirts. Out of this she has
herself, and probably her family, to feed, or
rather-to famish. Now mark the contrast.
A negro woman in the South is paid not less
than SO per month or % cents per day. and
in addition is fed on good substantial food,
aud her work is less constant and less labo-
rious than the poor shirt-makers Of the North.
And yet it is no unfrequent occurrence for us
to see in Northern radical papers long jere-
miads on the'fpoor negroes" of the South be-
ing lily paid for their labor. Would it not as
well to cease their bowls over this, matter and

Bully, for BrOyynIOw |!

Browplow in his Knoxville Wing of Feb
ruary 2lst before us, takes tho proper posi-
tion, so far as the President, his party and
his reconstruction policy is concerned. He
says:
1.-THE rebel flatterers and new born ad-
mrers of President johnson ask with inso
lence, if such men endorse the President
and his reconstruction policy2 By this
standard they measure everv mans patriot
ism and love of country. We are called to
an account and an answer demanded Of us
upon this point. Ia answering the ques-
tion we would be pleased to have some one
say whdt that policy is, and what is contem.
plated by IT, We endorse all the orders.
proclamations, and speeches of the Presi
deHt M reported and published, whllo he
was Military Governor of Tennessee.
Throughout that entire period he contended
that treason should be stamped with in
fanny that leading, intelligent. conscious
traitors should be tried and punished; that
treason should be made odious, and the de-
mands of justice satisfied by Furnishing its
guilty authors; that all the guarantees of the
Government, in fact as well as in form be
placed beyond the danger Of recall; and
that il there we're but 5000 loyal men in
lcnnessce, tney snOulu cOntrol tue Cthte
and further, that rebels should occupy the
back seats We are on this platform, and
if the President is still on this platform we
are with him. If his reconstruction policy
proposes to revorse this policy and to aban
don this platform, zee are not with him, nor
are the loyal and true men of Tennessee. If
he intends to pardon and turn loose upon
the country all the bad men that led off in
this rebellion or if he intends to reconstruct
the lato rotten Democratic party, and to
force upon Congress the rebel delegates talk
ing Of treason, and boasting OF what they
did to destroy the Government, we are not
with him, nor are the true men Of the ma
ton. II he holds to the principles of the
Baltimore Platform, upon which himself
and Mr. Lincoln were nominated. we are
with him. If he has crawled off of that
platform, we will not 90 off with him, nor
will the loyal men Of the country. We are
not able to say what the President will do,
but if he shall play into tho hands of the
enemies of the country, he is not the far
seeing man, and Judge of men, that we had
supposed him TO be. Our mind is made up
We are with tho Union party in Congress, and
with them We iRtend to sink or swim. The
people are also with them, and for the coun-
try, and against its enemies.
