SURRENDER OF CONGRESS I
Great Defeat of the Radicals!
Impeachment Killed. COffined and
Buried!

The agony is over! The great I'm
parchment humbug is played out at
last. On Friday last, Boutwell,, the
leader of the Impeacbers, finished his
speech in favor of deposing the Presi-
dent, and was replied to by Mr.. Will
son, of Iowa. When the latter had
concluded his speech, he moved to lay
upon the table the report of the I'm
peachment Committee, and called the
previous question. The lmpeachers
ragged and roared with chagrin and an
ger. Stevens characterized Wilson's
motion as San unheard-of outrage"
Butler, Logan, Schenck and Ashley
resorted to diIatory motions, but to no
purpose. On Saturday the Impeachers
hoisted flag of truce and proposed
that if Wilson would withdraw his
resolution to lay on the table, and agree
to take direct vote upon the Impeach-
ment resolution, they would cease max
ing dilatory motions. This proposition
was accepted, and a vote was taken
upon the resolution, which resulted as
follows: Ayes, 81, Noes, 108! Thus
was Impeachment slain in the house
of its friends. Thus did Congrt IS sur
render to Andrew Johnson. Thus was
the President of the United States, by
a vote of two to one, vindicated from
the false and malignant charges pre-
ferred against him by his enemies.
Let the country breathe freely. The
Ogre, Radicalism, is slain, coffined and
buried out of sight.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We print, on our outside pages, the
annual message of the President of the
United States, and ask that all "untO
whom these presents may cOme," will
give that document a careful perusal.
The grave importance of the questions
which it discusses, as we'll as the propri-
ETY. of ascertaining for ourselves the
characterof the information concerning
the state of the country, which the
Chief Executive has seen fit to transmit
to Congress, renders it the duty of eve
ry good citizen to read and ponder the
Presidents message. For our own
part, we are not inclined to comment
upon it at length. Suffice it to say that
it is sound on the issues of the day, and
is written with great force and ability.
The Presidents treatment of the Ere
construction" question, is happy in the
extreme, and we doubt whether the
immortal Webster himself could have
made a clearer and more cogent argu-
ment upon the constitutional points
involved in that question, than that
given us by Mr.. Johnson. If any man
can read the Presidents discussion of
the Reconstruction Acts, and after
wards believe them either cOnstitu
tional, or practicable, he must be ''pos-
sessed of devil" AS to Mr.. JOhnsOn's
views on financial matters, we believe
them to be sound. A resumption of
specie payments, would go far toward
restoring business to its natural chan
nels. The withdrawal Of the National
Bank issues and the substitution in
theirstead, of government legal tenders,
would be step in this direction and
would cancel a considerable portion
of our bonded debt on which we are
now paying interest in coin. But we
refer our readers to the Message, and
leave them to judge of its merits, for
themselves.

CUFFEE AT WORK.
A Black Rebellion In Alabama.
MONTGOMERY. Ala, d

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. l..
Alarming excesses have recently
been committed by blacks in Bullock
County, in the neighborhood of Perote.
The cOlOred loyal leagues have organ
lied and resisted the processes OF the
civil authorities. Under instructions
from colOred emissaries, they have
framed code of laws TO govern the ne
gro population, opened court, Ofhcered
and organized, and are arrestlng by
night all blacks who oppose their un-
lawful proceedings, and have carried
punishment so far that their victims
have applied to the civil authorities
for protection. The black sheriff and
his deputy were finally arrested, but
other insurrectionary leaders organized
the negroes and made armed resistance.
Aid from other leagues was summon
ed, and the blacks fiocked to Union
Springs, threatening a general rising
and the determination of the whites,
and taking possession of the country.
The black leaders went to the planta-
ti0ns and forced the labOrerS to JON
them for vengeance, showing pretended
orders from General Swayne that they
had right to kill all resisting their
authority. During the excitement
the negro church at PerOte was burned
by unknown parties-it is alleged by
black leaguers, to infame the negroes.
The whites universally regret it. The
white citizens have organized for pro-
lection. General Swayne was appeal
ed to, and sent a detachment of troops
promptly to the scene of troubles to
restore order. The black insurrection-
lists have been arrested and lodged in
Jail, to be tried by the civil authorities.
At the last accounts. order WAS restored,
and all was quiet.

ILLINOIS.

There was no general election in this
State, this fall, but the returns of the
elections indicate that the Democrats
have majority in the Prairie State.
Last year the State gave upwards of
fifty thousand Radical majority. Tru-
ly, the political revolution Of the pres
ent year has been overwhelming.

THAT'S THE TALK.

Recently committee of Kansas SOL
diers addressed a letter to Gen. Thomas
Ewing, asking him whether it would
be prudent to form clubs for the sup
port of Gen. Grant for President. Gen.
Ewing replied as follows:
~ hope yet to be able to support
Gen. Grant for the Presidency; but |
want first to know whether he approves
of the reconstruction measures, for, if
he does, l cannot support him. | re-
gard them as miScheviOuS begOtten of
revenge, misdirected philanthropy
and lust of power. / would as soon eX
pect house to stand on the crater of a
living volcano, as State, where whites
and blacks being nearly equal in num-
bers, the whites are prescribed, and the
blacks made rulers. Such govern
ment cannot long have the heartfelt
sympathy of any large body Of white
men anywhere"
Now, there's some sense in that kind
of talk. Gen. Ewing will not support
Gen. Grant because he is Ulysses Simp-
son Grant, but aoM support him if he
accords with him in political senti
ment. With men ofintelligence, hero
worship is played out" Gen. Ewing
is, himself, soldier, but he is also a
statesman and patriot. Such man
cannot support any candidate, mot ev-
en- Gen. Grant who accepts, whether
openly, or tacitIy, the tyrannical and
outrageous Reconstruction" policy of
the Radical Congress.

ssTHE WILL OF THE COLORED PEO-
PLE.o

We Gull this flower from the l)drterre
of Ulysses S. Grant, that is to say, we
pull this specimen brick out of the
structure of the Report of the Acting
Secretary of War:
"The will of the colored people may
be in favor of supporting loyal office
holders, but their intelligence is not
now sufficient to enable them to COM
bine for the execution of their will
All their combinations are now con-
Quoted by white men under the prOtec
ton of the military; if this protection
is withdrawn the white men now con-
trolling would withdraw with it; and
some of the Southern people, now eX-
asperated at what they deem the freed
mems presumption, would not be very
gentle toward them, so that the pres
ence of q larger force will be required
for some time to maintain the freed
men in the right of suffrage"
"The will of the colored people may
be in favor of supporting loyal office
holders" We had thought there was
no subjunctive mood about that mat
ter Ulysses Simpson Grant, we are
astOnished at you! To think that yOu
could have any douot about the twill
of the colored people" being in favor of
supporting loyal Office-holderS! Are
the Southern blacks not all 'lOyal" to
their very hearts core! Were they
not always Union men and true to the
"oJd flag" during the war! Nay, didn't
"the cOLored troops fight bravely !'-
And yet you coldly say "the will of
the colored people may be in favor of
supporting loyal office-holders." A
gain, "their intelligence is not now
sufficient" &c. Why, we had suppos-
ed that the coIOred people of the South
are the most intelligent of all the in
habitants of Dixey, at least far more
so than the white di5franchised rebels.
Are not the "coored people" revising
the Constitution of the Southern States,
improving upon the work of the Pinck-
neys, the Crawfords, the Houstons and
the Premises, and do you dare to say,
Ulysses Grant, that they are not inteLi-
0ent? "All their combinations are
now conducted by white men under
the protection of the military" Soft
ly, softly, Ulysses! We are under the
impression that SIdUery was abolished
some years ago. Is it possible that we
are mistaken? Can it be that the
twill of the colOred people" is still
trammeledand fettered and that "white
men, protected By the military" conduct
"colored" organization? Is it really
true that the ''cOlOred man. is still a
beast of burden in the hands of white
men, who control him and make him
do their bidding, with bayonet at
his back instead fthe overSeer'S whip?
y ulysses, IL cannot De! ana yet you
say so. "And some of the Southern
people, now exasperated at what they
deem the freedmen's presumption,
would not be very gentle toward them,
so that the presence of larger force
will be required for some time to main
tain the freedmen in he right of suf-
frage." Only some of "the Southern
people," We were led to believe that
all of the Southern people are murder
ers, wolves, blood-hounds, hyenas,
gOrillas; you know they are, Mr.. Grant,
for all the Radical presses and preach
