The Tribune is located In New
York Generals Brannon and TILL
son are stationed in Augusta, and
yet the editor of the tribune as
suInes to know more about the af-
fair, which happened right under
their eyes, than they do, and has the
audacity to condemn their conduct !
What docs the Tribune mean by
the last sentence.-"what right have
we to demand that the rebe9s shall
respect a flag which Union Generals
combine to insult? Does II mean
that the mob of school marms" and
negroes bore or represented the
flag of the United States? II does
mean that or II means nothing, and
it is a false suggestion. They did
not propose to go in the name Of
the government or under its flag,
but in their own name of their
own motion, and for no other pur-
pose than to create a difficulty, and
they were foiled by those officers
to whom the honor of the flag was
entrusted, and who have done them
selves honor by refusing to prosti-
tute it to mischievous and partisan
purposes.

HWe sympsthize with Yerger /;
we do, indeed: He wants to be the
organ of something. He wants to
grind somebody's tune. He would
like to be a real fugleman, as his
present exertiOns at footing don't
pay. BE claims to be the "Journal
of the Comm onwealth y" official,
at that; which would imply it was
by authority of the people. The
fact is, the people had nothing to
do with it. His score or two Of
subscribers have nothing even to do
with it. He created the position in
his Imagination, and conferred 1t
upon himself. He talks about the
Herald being envlOus of himI Not
so, Yerger, We assure you. We
deeply sympathize with you mthe
hour Of bereavement, and are
anxious 70 weep for you and with
you'll YOu require the sympathy Of
at least a dozen strong men and Of
one or two strong-minded women.

subscription list to that extent ]
To tell you that it is always thus

The Lie Market Active.

Generals Fullerton and Steadman
have evinced such q spirit Of inn
partial justice, that the Radicals
have taken alarm. They have gone
TO work to discredit all the Commits
sioners can say or do. Their report
on the state Of affairs in Virginia
and North Carolina, and their ex-
posure of some Of the Speculations,
malfea sances and cruelties Of off,
cials connected with the Freedmen's
Bureau, have SO frightened and In
censed the politicians Of the negro
school that they have become stim-
ulated to more than usual activity
in their INSCRIPTIONS efforts to dis
credit these gentlemen and their re-
port. Forney has been called into
service, and he is now endcavoring
TO smut them all over. The Radicals
have found It necessary to disercdit
the commissioners and their report,
and they will leave no means unem-
plOyed TO accomplish it. We learn
General +. D. Sewall has COM
menced making an inspection of the
Bureau in North Carolina--by order
Of General HoWard, the king bee
in the negro gum. General Howard
is himself busy writing letters to
break the force Of the startling re-
port Of these commissioners. For
ney calls upon Congress to appoint
a committee "to examine into the
condition and operations Of the
Bureau throughout the South" The
meaning Of all this is that the Radi-
calls cannot stand the truth, and find
1t necessary to hunt up hireling wit
nesses TO contradict it. Ariel was
not more serViCeable to PrOsperO
than the emissaries and agents Of
the Freedmen's Bureau - those
"provident men" as General How
ard calls them, who, when that
Bureau ceases, will have no means
of support, and are hence trying to
make a good thing out Of it-afc to
the Radicals. r.. ago '1s'.. 'ft.

thus place the Southern States, in

THE PRESIDENT AND THE PEOPLE

Our exchanges from all parts of the country
Contain unmistakable evidence that the great
mass OF the people, now that they have taken
the sober second thought, are with the Preci.
Gent, and recognize the wisdom of his policy
OF healing the wounds produced by the war
aud speedily restoring perez and integrity to
the Union His honesty, courage, and steadi-
ness OF will, shown as much in recent events as
at any time previous to and during the rebel
Lion, have won for him the respect even of
those politically opposed to him. 1t begins to
BE- seen and acknowledged that in his veto of
the Freedmen's Bureau bill, he made a two
fold sacrifice of himself: first, in taking a step
so liable to misconstruction; and next, in re-
fusine to accept the immense trust contded to
him by this bull, which would have added so
much to his power. Indications that the q ues-
ton is beginning to he fully understood and
that all those who through four years of bloody
war fought TO maintain the Union in its In
tegrity, will now as boldly advocate these
measures which are best calculated to bring
about cordial restoration, multiply on every
hand.
Apt as we are in this country TO be blinded
by party feelings and prejudiees, we would
perhaps, If We could divest ourselves of them
all concur with Earl Derby, an impartial spec
tator, who, in his late address in the BritiSh
Parliament Oh the q ueen's speech. said:
"l fully concur with the speech in CON-
mending the wise and prudent manner in
which. after the war had terminal ed, the Pres
ldent has sought TO repair the rayages Of civil
war. He seems to seek the best means OF re.
storing the tranQ utility of the country, and we
cannot refrain 1com hoping that his efforts will
be crowned with success,
