The President and the Soldiers.

Colonel John Taggart who has lately been re-
moved from the Philadelphia collector8hipi by the
President after learning of his decaptation, made
bold to call upon the President and respectfully in
quired the reasons for his removal. The President
refused to assign any reasons for his action upon
which Colonel Taggart courteously remarked that
he failed to see in his removal an adherence to his
the Presidents late circular in reference to the ap
pointment to Office of e1-soldiers and sailors To
this the President deigned no reply, and Colo mel
Taggart left as wise as he came. This is other

II appears by the report of the Judiciary Com
mittee Of the House of Representatives, which OPP
posed the proposition TO modify repeal the test
oath, SO as to permit persons who were implicated
in the rebellion to hold Federal offices, that IN some
posts, for which competent, brave, and faithful
Union men were applicants! Thus Mr.. j. j. Glers,
of Alabama, who asked for an appointment as COM
missioner for the collection of direct taxes IN that
State presented endorsers OF his loyalty and com
potency Abraham Lincoln, Andrew johnson, Gen.
G. H. Thomas, and Gen. Grant, but his claims were
rejected to make room for one F. W. Sykes, who was
a member of the rebel Legislature of Alabama =
The report also shows that the rebeous States fur,
nshed than so 900 white soldiers to the Federal
armies; and it seems strange indeed that there can,
not be found in the ranks of so many who proved
faithful among the faithless and ready to share the
dangers incurred in the defence of the Repuohc,
enough loyal men to enjoy the rewards and honors
it has to bestow in their respective localities Can
it be that, while laws make treason dlsquallh-
cation for holding Office the Administration is dis
posed to reverse the rule in the South and to make
patriotism fatal objection in the aspirants of that

Two EXTRAORDINARY FACTS. -The
United States are the greatest gold
producing country in the world; yet
gold constitutes no part of our clrcu.
latipg medium. We have, instead of
gold, paper currency that is at a
discount Of nearly fifty per cent.
Again the United States are the
greatest cotton producing country in
the world; yet we have to pay much
higher price for all our cotton fabrics
than any other country in Christen-
dom.
These are two very important and
extraordinary facts. Every man will
agree that they are unnatural, and
must be the result of political policy.
Can a policy which produces such re.
suits be wise? Clearly not. But
it is a policy introduced and contin,
ued by the party now in power, We
shall see, one of these days, to what
fatal consequences it will Lead
