MORE or THE FREEDxES's BuREAu.-A bill is
before Congress to extend that notorious sys-
tenn Of fraud, slavery and corruption, called
the Freedmen's Bureau, for two years more.
In the appropriation bill for the present year
twelve millions Of dollars are bestowed upon
this institution. Next year the sum will be af-
teen millions and the year after IL will be in
creased TO twenty millions; for such gigantic
abuses grow by what they feed upon. All this
money must come from the pockets Of Northern
taxpayers. Strike out the twelve millions Of
dollars given to this Bureau for the benefit Of
indolent darkies and avaricious Yankee over
seers and our taxes will be greatly lesscned.
Continue the Bureau for two years more and
our taxes will be correspondingly increased.
This practical view Of the subject we recon-
mend to Congressman and 10 the constituents

Tho Fenians-War and Revolution II
Canada.

The Fenians have at length startled the
Canadians with positive invasion. A sufi-
cient force of the Roberts-Sweeny division
have crossed their rubicon--a rushing ocean
compared with the paltry rivulet Of Caesar
and few days win probably determine
whether 1t is to be Jfasco or q revolution.
The enterprise may collapse in another Campo
bello fzzle, or in q short and disastrous fight
like that Of Crittenden in Cuba, or in pro-
tracted and sanguinary hut fruitless flibus-
tering struggle like that Of Walker in Nicara-
qua; or 1t may expand and progress to
revolutionary reconstruction Of the Canadas,
eliminating in On independent government
and ending in annexation to the United States
1t will be seen from our news dispatches
that in this aggressive Fenian movement there
is q remarkable proportion Of the most active
fighting men in the cause OF JEFF Davis hand
in hand with some Of the bravcst Irish soldiers
Of the Union. There are also, we infer, some
born Southerners under the green banner Of
ONeil and Sweeny. II IL even reported that
Fitzhugh Lee, son Of the late Southern rebel
commander-in-chief, Is TO head the cavalry OF
Old Erin In this effort to expel the British lion
and his whelps from American soil. Possibly
the fighting heroes Of the South, chatting under
the crushing out OF their confederacy by "the
horrid Yankees" may be anxious 70 redeem
their prestige in a regular thrashing Of the
Canadians. II will be Q remarkable result In

The New REcoNsTRUCrIoN ScHEME.--Thc new
plan Of reconstruction now being concoctcd by
the Senate seems to US excessively absurd.
The first section unnecess arily re-enacts the
Civil Rights bill. The second section, In re-
gard to the apportionment Of representation,
can very easily be evaded by the Southern
States and will be most unpopular at the
North and West. The amendment proposed
for the third section disquali6es the rebel on
cials during the pleasure Of Congress; but oil
that these officials have TO do is to make out
naturalization papers, and they can vote or
hold Office In five years, Congress TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The fourth section,
which insists upon the payment Of the national
debt is very silly, for nobody wants to repu-
diate that debt. This Is what Webster called
re-enacting the laws Of nature. The fifth sec
ton, which prohibits the payment Of the rebel
debt is equally silly, for nobody wants TO pay
that debt. Congress might just % well enact
law forbidding us to pay the debt incurred
by Great Britain in the war Of 1912. Thus the
whole plan, section by section, is shown to be
foolish and impracticable. II Congress desires
TO adopt radical scheme let that Of Mr.. Thad
Stevens be taken up. But the best way Is to
admit at once that President Johnsons policy
Is the only reasonable one before the country.
Why should Congress persist in quarrellng,
not only with the President, but with the
American people, who have already endorsed
the Presidents policy In every possible way
