old member of Congress has suggest
ed that the President, who undouEted-
IL. as the Executive, can controls the
execution of the laws, should direct
the treasurer of the United States not
to pay another dollar to the members
OF Congress, until Congress shall
have rendered itself n constitutional
body by admitting the representatives
from the Southern States. They are
entitled to pay only as members of n
constitutional Congress, and it is
clearly the Presidents duty to see
that public money is not unlawfully
disbursed. We like this plan. It
would unquestionably soon bring the
radicals to their senses.
The first reQuisit'on of the pay
master to Congress which the trea-
s1rer should refuse to honor would
prove to be excellent credentials for
the Southern members. The main
object of the radicals is to secure to
themselves the handling of the pub

themselves to be very tractablc.

IFirlll az r Rock.

There can DO little doubt but that
the radical party intend to impeacll
the President, and rs little doubt
that they will resort to force before
they will relinquish the power which
the majority they have now in Con
gress gives them. The President
himself knows this. In his speech at
st. Louis, he refers to these schemes;
and in his speech ut Detroit, he said.
IN regard to Congress and the course
which he would pursue in the event
of the defeat of the conservatives ut
the approaching elections: Il will
meet them singlc-handcd and alone.
In the words of the poet, L exclaim:
Come oiie-come all this rock shall tlv
From Its firm base as soon as L."
This evidently refers to conflict
which now threatens our distracted
country. May God avert it; but even
after all the blood that has been shed
for the past four years, we believe the
people Of the whole country would
prefer war on the side of the Presi-
dentand the Constitution, rather than
submit to the usnrpation of all power
by the radical party and the anarchy
that must inevitably follow. They
are anxious to avoid such terrible
conflict, but they should be prepared
tor the worst, and stand ready to save
the Government and their own liber
ties from destruction.

Still' the planters are Of opinion that
the rust has already played sad havoc
with the cotton, and that the cron
will fall considerably short. The
planters and the freedmen get alone
very harmoniously in cultivntinc the
