R6- We ask pardon of our readers for
occupying SO much Of our paper this
morning with matter appertaining to the
Courier Like Commodore Farragut,
we FIRE by broadsides. We have now so
riddlsd the copperhead organ that it will
hardly require further attention until its
friends and bottIe-holders restore It to
consciousness and place it on its fes'
again.

B0- The Courier charges that while
our soldiers we're in the front we were
in the rear guarding bfidges in Indiana,
chicken-coops and pig-pens. The treas.
enable organizations Of the Sons of Lib
erty made the guarding of Railroad
bridges in Indiana very important SER
vice, if Generals Grant, Sherman and
Thomas are TO be believed. The cap
ture of Memphis relieved some rebel
home guards (does our neighbor get the
point) in that city, who at once came
North within our lines, and rendered
the guarding Of chicken-coops, pig-pens
and cattle trains equally important. For
aiding in keeping our lines clear Of
these oath-taking patriots-a work
neither dangerous nor laborious, we
eonfess-we received the thanks of the
Government, of which we are quite
proud.
We presume the Courier editor holds a
little document of the Government that
can't appropriately be. called, certi6-
cate of honorable seFvice.

A Most Serious Charge Against the
/ tn# President.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune makes the fol-
lowing grave charge against President
JOHNSON '.s
without the authority of law President
johnson, among his earliest acts of recon-
Strucfion, ordered the sale of Government
and materials to an enormous amount to
Southern men, on credit; he directed the
Quartefmasters in charge to turn over the
property, and take the purchasers notes,
payable monthly. up to two years; the
value of the property thus nominally sold.
but in reality given away, was probably
s20O,0OO,O0O. OF course the notes, as they fell
due, We're not paid, and IT, was never in
tended they should be paid. They are I'M
der protest here to millions. The Govern
ment holds chattel mortgages on property,
all in rebel hands; that has been consumed
in large part; in part has changed hands;
and the balance of which is used in def
ant disregard of the contract purchase. The
compel payment, or to recover possession
of any portion of this immense amount of
public property" fd w
1iIf this is true, it certainly is of the most
serious consequence. There is no warrant
for selling Government property on credit.
IfPresident Johnson has done this he has
not only violated his sworn oath to take
care that the laws are faithfully executed,
but he has also swindled the heavily taxed
people of the United States out of an inn
mense sum, every cent of which ought to
have gone into the Treasury to help pay
our vast debt, but which must now be
made up by the people in the shape of
taxes. The giving of credit to traitors at
the expense of the people, and the viola
ton of law for the sake Of conciliating
rebels, are offenses that wifi not be readily
forgiven, and ought not to be condoned or
coyerediup. s.4s 5.3 a -f.'fss5r.r
The gcharge is one that calls for a strict
investigation, and we hope that Congress
will not pass il by. In fact, the whole bu-
siness OF the disposal of the vast amounts
of public property since the war needs n
thorough revision and examination. We
want to know how many millions of dol
lars ofthe peoples money have been squan-
dereds ID. any and who is responsible for
it. And if any measure of guilt like that
charged is fastened upon the President. or
| any other officer, the people will reouire
that the offender be held to strict account.
