President johnson and his ftnpeachx


The Memphis Bulletin, which was
one of the staunchest of the ssloyal"
papers during the war, INDUCES in the
following comments upon the pro-
posed impeachment of the President
by the radicals:
Public sentiment must be wrought
up to revolutionary tasks. Nashville
and Boston are selected as centres
whence this destructive organization
may illuminate its DEGREES. The first
blow hurled at Andrew johnson, like
that beneath which Caesar fell, must
come from his own friends. MAYNARD.
or Arnold, or Brownlow-who claims
the Immortality of another Brutus?
Let him strike
But johnson is no Caesar. Still,
there stands the assassins. There is
a dagger hidden within the vestments
OF each of these men. They hate
Johnson, not because he has stripped
Rome Of freedom, but because he has
made Romans freedmen. That Con
federate soldier whose wooden leg
attests gallant deeds, who now tolls
IN pursuit of peace, as when he
starved IN camp, or dug trenches with
his bayonet; that one-armed hero
whose scars are patents of nobility,
or with an empty sleeve, the choicest
device of heraldry; these are men
whose honest assent TO results of war.
provoke Johnsons admiration, and
their misfortunes, his sympathy.
Poor, very poor, are all these Con
federate Ssoldiers. They are rich in
honor, which would be lost if they
were not true to defeat, as they would
have been to victory.
Johnson's crimes consist in his
generosity to men like these. It is not
charged that he usurped the crown or
seized the sceptre. They who crown
ed him, who invested him with the
royal purple, would strike him down.
He will not minister to their madness,
their accursed spirit of vengeance.
Such IS the crime of the President,
such the men who would arraign him.
and such are they whom he has be-
friended. The South should, as one
man, stand by the President. He can
only have the assurance of our SYM
Pathy-of practical support we can
render nothing. The time may come.
when the South, at least, may attest
its gratitude.

withdrawai or Troops.

The Mobile Tribune, of the 10th,
learns from the Montgomery Adcer-
tises, that Gen. Thomas had notified
Governor Patton that all, the troops
would be removed from the State and
that arms and ammunition would be
furnished the State militia. Pro-
visions for the destitute families are
also promised. The despatch does
not announce the date of withdrawal,
but we presume the order will be
carried out as soon as possible.
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph states
that orders have been received from
the War Department to muster out Of
service all the troops, both white and
black, in that district.
This is doubtless forw ard step in
the Presidents policy CT restoration
and reconstruction.

COLUMBIA.
wedne sday Morning, Jan. II, 1866.
In q Eix. .

-
The radicals ''are in 4 FIX" as the
common expression goes, in two
ways. In the first place, if they
break with President Johnson in his
reconstruction policy, they run the
risk of so weakening their party at
the North, that they cannot expect a
majority and if they consent to his
policy and admitthe Southern States,
in any future election they will be
beaten.
The 'irrepressible conflict" is once
more on the tapis, and tie negro-the
everlasting negro-is the cause of it.
Is there wisdom, patriotism or any
other proper principle OF feeling in
volved in this issue ? The radical
party seems determined to force the
issue on President johnson.
And again comes q new feature in
the Treasury Department., in collect
ing the internal revenue in the lately
rebellious States, in consequence of
the scarcity of men who can take the
test oath to hold the Offices OF asses
sors and collectors. In some sections
there are scarcely any to be had, and
the agent of the Department reports
that unless the test oath law is repeal
ed, the revenue cannot be collected.
So it seems that this thing cuts both
ways. It was invented to annoy the
Southern people with, but it has
returned to ''plague the inventors. -
We suppose the people down there
Will be perfectly satisfied if there
never IS man in the country eligible
to collect taxes. It will suit them
exactly. 1t will be entirely fair, how
ever, for taxation without representa-
ton has always been regarded as a
political iniquity, and an outrage
upon the people on whom it was per-
petrated. 1t is now admitted by the
officers of the Government that there
are not enough honest and capable
men in the rebellious States who
were not connected with the rebellion
to hold the Government offices, with
out which the machinery cannot
move. Now what is to be done?
Will the radicals consent that the
rebels shall go untaxed. rather than
that rebels shall collect the taxes?
The object, we of the Phoenic be-
heve, is to place among us corps of
Yankee tax officers. The sstest OATH
IS unconstitutional beyond all doubt,
but the radicals are determined estd
add insult to injury L~A

That there is some good reason for
hoping that the President will disap-
point the radicals in their efforts to
exclude the members of Congress
from the Southern States is abundant
ly shown by the out-givings of Mr..
Forney. In his paper of Saturday,
he says:
''It would be graceful acknow-
ledgment, not alone of the undaunted
patriotism of the brave men of the
South, who, through fame and death.

The New Orleans Picayune saws:

we learn from gentlemen recently
from the plantations, that the freed
men positively refuse to make any
new contracts, or to go to work, Civ
ing as their reasons that they expect
a new proclamation, which they be-
heve will greatly improve their condi-
ton. This was the reply given to the
owners of several large plantations
upon which the freedmen, it was sup
posed, were more comfortah and
contented than anywhere else. Their
conduct and manners to their en-
pioyers were respectful and peaceful,
but they are very decided in refusing
to make new contracts, to go to work,
or leave the plantations. The pesti-
lent agitators and disorganizers who
lnfest the country have impaired to
their Ignorant and unsophisticated
minds some delusion which they de-
cline to explain, but the baneful
effects Of which upon the country and
the freedmen must be obvious to all
rejecting persons. The cultivation
of our staples requires constant labor
for the whole year The failure or
suspension of labor week will seri-
ously affect the production for the
season. If the course pursued on
the sugar plantations has been gene
rally followed, the effect upon the
operations and product of this year
will be most serious
