are known to subsist on Government pap OF
black mail, from Forney's Washington CAyoa-
iele down to the smallest of the class in Idaho,
al industnously parade the wonderful stories
they have to tell Of tie great craftsmanship and
prodigious influence Of Senator Williams OF
Oregon But we observe in late New York
Tribune which is not purchasabe or black
mail sheet-that in q lengthy notice of all the
conspicuous Senators, Radicals and Democrats,
the name OF Williams of Oregon is not men
toned. And the same thing is noticeable in
every respectable, established, leading Radical
organ we have seen-that Senator Williams
Of Oregon is not even mentioned in them as an
Influential, honOred or prominent member of
the Senate or of their party We personally
know the Senator, and must say, if he has be-
come either great in ability or honest in poll
tics, the climate Of Washington has wrought in
him the most astonishing changes, mentally and
morally, which have record in history. It is
impossible for any one to name party or fac
ton, doctrine or an ism, which has had ex-
istence in the last ten years, to which Williams
has not been both follower and deyotee, oppo-
nent and persecutor. chameleon lives on

Com'g District OF Columbus.
One OF our Alabama exchanges
publishes this order, and makes the
following comments:
Let heHurcau restrict itself to
its Legitimate duties. and not inter
pose an unnecessary oGiciousncss in
the relations Of the two races in this
country. We believe honestly that
the Southern people generally have
not only acquiesced, without linger-
ing regret, in the new relations now
sustained towards them by their for
mer slaves. but fully recognize the
Justice and obligation of according
them the rights prescribed by the
law, and of treating them with kind
ness and humanity. The law puts
both on an equality as to the con
tract, and both have equal remedies
for its violation. Besides annulling
the law and setting up iii its place
the Will Of the commanding officer,
the order is obnoxious for the adtli-
tional reason, that while it is impor-
tant to individual and general pros
pcrity that the freedmen should be
Industrious and contcntcd, it encou
RACES idlcness, paupcrism and q spirit
of oppressive eXtortion and cXaction.

LLOYD GARRISON ON IMPEACHMENT.
Mr. William Lloyd Garrison has ad-
dressed Il letter to the New York
Independent on the subject Of impeach-
ing the President, in which he emu
lates the recent production Of Wendell
Phillips in the Anti-Slarery Standard.
He closes his letter as follows:
Let this perjurcd and perfdious
occupant OF the Presidential chair be
summarily removed, and one chosen
to fill it who will be true to this coun-
try, working harmoniously with Con
gress IN its endeavors to give the
same security to liberty and loyalty
at the South rs is enjoyed at the
North, and the safety of the nation
will be placed upon an indcstructiblc
foundation. Not to do this will be
the sowing of dragons teeth, ending
in n harvest Of blood.
The right Of impeachment is not
only constitutional right, but the
Constitution itself assumes that it
may be an imperitavc duty. If An
drew Johnson has not made himself
liable to it, when the phrase high
crimes and miSdemcanors' becomes
mockery, and he may act the part of
a factionist and usurpcr to any ex-
tent with impunity. But the Presi-
dent Of the United States is as amen
able to trial and conviction for
betraying the trust rs the humblest
official in the land, and should be as
readily brought to the tribunal of

HE NEW ORLEANS RIOT.-A special
telegram from Washington. January
9, to the New Orleans Crescent, says:
The radicals here say the report of
the New Orleans riot committee will
no. be presented to Congress for some
three weeks. No reliance, however,
is placed in this assertion, ard it is
generally believed that the committee
will endeavor to send it in before the
opening Of the discussion on Thad. 5
Territorializing bill, for the purpose
of making capital in its favor A
number OF shameful facts connected
with the investigation have been as
certained from reliable sources 1t is
known, for instance, that, without
including the time similarly occupied
lii Washington, the committee de-
voted five days and half to the
hearing Of radical partisan testimony,
and only two days and Il half to the
taking of evidence by which that
might have been exposed and re-
futcd.
Quite enough is known, in short.
to show that the opinions Of the radi-
cal members of the committee were
made up on the question they were
appointed to investigate, even before
they left Washington.
The treatment Of the authorities
and others of the citizens who offered
testimony to the committee, is learned
to have been outrageous. They posi-
lively refused to admit the evidence
which was offered with respect to
most important points.
The testimony of Gov Wells, on
the other hand, was admitted, after
the committee had announced the
closure Of the investigation.
The evidence is said to cover seven
hundred printed pages.
An able minority report, it is said;>
will be presented to Congress.

How 1t Works.

Figures may sometimes lie, but in
the instance we now notice, such can
scarcely be the case. The chief of
the Frecdmen's Bureau, Gen. How
ard, as n paragraph in our paper,
some days since, informed our read
ers, has recently reported officially to
the War Department an approximate
estimate of the number Of freedmen
at present in eleven Of the former
slaveholding States. These estimates
arc made fl The latest reports fur
nisled by e.4t agents of the Bureau
throughout the States of the South.
In Mississippi, a. census was taken.
The present colored population,
according to this report, is 3, 067, 900.
A cotemporary remarks that, by turn
ing to the United States census, the
reader will find that the negro popu-
lation of these same States il June
of that year, was 1886, 900, leaving
a deficit since then of 2GS, COOLEST
to the world by the efforts of the
North to better their condition.
These statistics are truly startling,
and indicate the fate of the poor
freedmen in this country; for it
should be noticed that between the
years 1850 and 1860, the rate of in
crease Of slaves in the eleven States
named, according to the census, was
something over ffty-two per cent.
BY figures, at this rate of increase, it
IS shown that this class of population
should have numbered, in June,
1866, 1876, 900, or an increase of
100000.
No one will question the evidence
of Gen. Howard and his subordinates
III relation to this matter, but it shows
as clear us noon-day, that the race
Aourished. increased and multiplied
under the old institution to an ex-
tent they can never attain under the
new system of so-called freedom.
The former was one in which the ne
gro was contented, industrious and
happy: the latter, according to statis-
tical evidence AID every day observa-
ton, has worked an unfortunate
change. We can hardly dare to hope
although we wish-for q better
State of things among these people.
Wendell Phillips supplied, some
weeks ago, Il reason for the movement
made by Mr.. Ashley, of Ohio, in the

ton whether the Republican party

nit that such movement was neces-
sary to the success of the Republican
party, and the New York papers in
