INDICATIONS.
Tho pres<uza fot tho destruction Of tho
Freedmen's Bureau naturally Increases under
the policy Of tho President. Not hero or
northwa11 70 much, because the offensive
features Of Ii administration ara not a eyi-
dent to Northern apprehension, bu. n tae re-
constructed districts, wherc the reecuorated
States have been hlrly weaned from the uro-
vlsional breast, there l. a rapidly growing de.
termination TO endure the surveillance DO

cep.ion of the resolutions declaring that Ken
lucky win not submit to the outrage, md
directing the President to recall Gen. Fisk
from hez borders, although somewhst e1cep-
tlona1, and arising In part from exceptional
conditions, Ia only step in advance of the
fast ripening sentiment in every Southern
State.
Nor Is this sentiment other than natural
and iuevitahlc-a mere eoroHx1y to tho Presi-
DENTAL demonstration. II South Carolina Is
quite 1c-orEanized, and her rnoat rampant
rebels are her safest statesmen, the regulation
Of domestic affairs not only may be left, but
ought to be left, to the State Government.
Meanwhile, authentic reports continue 10
arrive, and to multiply, which show the utter
uureadiness Of either employer OF employc to
handle the social question with safety. Tho
standard Of the employer Is SO far removed
from the standard of the laborer, and each Is
50 confident of the others error, that II the
TWO be LEFT to each other, forra atoue will nr-
bltrate; and whether one party conquers or
the other. both will suffer, for force never
seeks justice and rarely stumbles on 1t.
