The REMOVAL OF GENERAL SHERIDAN,
from the command of the 9Th Military Dis
trici will not take the country by surprise,
as the time when any Of Mr.. Andrew John
sons performances could surprise any one
has long since past If, as the dispatches as
sert, Gen. Thomas has been assigned to the
command Of Gen. Sheridans district, we do
not think the national interests will suffer by
the change, while Gen. Sheridan will be
benefited by having the popular enthusiasm
in his favor, aroused by his actions as militia
ry commander,strengthencd and intensified
On the part of the President, however.
the action can be considered as nothing but
wanton spiteful insult and defiance to the
loyal majority of this nation and their re
representatives. in Congress. Had Mr.. John
son replaced Sheridan by a General who
favored "my policy" his action would hay,
appeared like an attempt to violate the spiri
of the reconstruction act, while conformin,
to the letter of the law, but in placing an
other as radical as Sheridan himself In tn,
place, he clearly shows that he wilfully ant
wantonly insults the nation because h
thinks he dare insult it,..and for no othe
reason, than that he takes a malicious de
light in doing so.
II any one suffers from the late removal
II will be Andrew Johnson himself TO be hi
Victim is the surest and spesdiest way
popular favor and esteem.

THE GAZETTE STILL AT II.


The Gazette seems to remain in the same
painful state of irritation in which we found
it week ago, and to have lost all pretence
to courtesy in its attacks on the CONNER

fact that General Grant, son the Rawlins

of the COMMERCIAL, and thinks we have in
him an elephant we cannot well get rid
of. The grounds ON which we placed him
we ever become convinced that he did not
stand ON that platform, we should unhesitat-
ingly take down his name but as yet, neitli-
er the awkward position in which the COM
mands Of his military superior have placed
him, or the artful manner in which the or
der directing him to take charge of the Wal
office is written, ON the one hand, nor the
openly expressed doubts of the greatest
Republican journal of the country on the
other, have shaken our belief that the Gen

An EpIroRIAL in the Philadelphia (Sun-

Hughes, is to establish connection from

The PHILADELPHIA BULLETIN repeats a
complaint which has come to be well worn,
that there is disposition TO sympathize
with, and pity convicted murderer, sentenc-
ed to be hung. Our contemporary regrets
that in their sorrow for the hanged man they
forget his unfortunate victim, whom lie sent
unprepared to judgment, &C., &c. All OF
which only serves to point very obvious
moral, and that is that the system Of
capital punishment is bad one. 1t can bt
demonstrated by various testimony, but this
Of the public mind is additional evidence o
the fact. Hanging man is putting human
ity TO one OF the worst uses possible.

EQUAL RIGHTS.

We publish to-day,a call for convention
In favor of Equal Rights. This call emana-
tes from men who are well known In this
State as the friends of Progress and even
handed Justice. 1t comes from NO political
party and has no partisan object. 1t is a
firm, well considered assertion Of citizens
who acting upon their individual RESPONSE
bilIty and seeking to bind no one but them
selves, are willing to stand or fall upon prin-
ciples. The assertion does not spring from
policy; much less, as may readily be I'M
agined, from any desire Of mere political adj
vancement. It is the spontaneous act Of
men without distinction Of color whose
solemn conviction is that our Union must
secure and guarantee perfect equality before
the law: who have their convictions upon
Right; and who, in doing what they con-
ceiye to be right, are willing to leave the con-
sequences in the hands of the Almighty and
to patiently await, through good and through
III, the results which He may please to bring
about. In this there can BIO no selfish mo-
tive. In this Is the truest Faith-the most
exalted Patriotism. aA
We have passed through aterrible nation
al struggle. We first denied men their free
dom, and for this abandonment Of rights,
we suffered severe chastisement When We
gave freedom, God gave Victory. We thcr
denied the manhood of the colored race, an,
It was not until we made the black man a
American soldier that our arms were crown
ed with complete success We are hesita
ting now to make him citizen, and Will
we hesitate, permanent peace does not com
to our country. Shall we not learn that tll
riylt way is the safe way; and shall "
not declare that all men may occupy wlln
ever positions their virtue and inteligen
may qualify them to hold ?-The progre
which God has wrought within the last fe
years in spite of our hesitation, and oppos
lion, must be recognized and we must fe
that, just as there could be no victory wit
out Freedom, so now there can be no pea
Without Justice. Why struggle against t
inevitable ?-Why endeavor to postpone
consideration Of great principles and t
work of political and moral reform, by tel
porizing with the tlmidity and faithlessnt
OF parties? The time for mere expedients
passed 1.-THE time has come when we nj
confess the incapacity Of our governm
Ia accomplish its purposes; or else sec
and perpetuate it upon the everlasting pill
oi Justice to all men, The stone that
hull ers rejected Freedom-has become
iuadstone of the corner. Let us see t
this Freedom is no mere NAME but is ide
c,,l with the privileges and fruits of citiz
sap as well as with the national and
a,,,nahle rights of men.

A REBEL MOB which cruelty beat color
ed girl near Plymouth, North Carolina, with
one hundred and torty-six lashes has been
very properly arrested by the military au-
thorities and each of the gang Of rascals
who perpetrated the outrage fined heavily
and sentenced to Imprisonment at hard
labor for terms varying from one to three
months. The story of the lawless deed, as
told BY General Sickles In his order approx
ing the sentence Of the Court Martial, al
most freezes the blood of the humane reader
and compels all to sympathise with the
Generals regret that the penalties imposed
by the Court Martial were not heavier.
The offence of the girl was the whipping
of white girl who attempted to whip her,
without the shadow Of legal right to do SO.
Shameful to say woman, one Mrs. Har-
man, was party to the scandalous outrage
and allowed the colored girl to be scared into
| indenturing herself to her, and then, as the
girls mistress, consented to hand her over tt
mob of furious Williams to be logged. Tho
terrible degradation of the white women
those called ladies-of the South, through
the brutalizing of their feelings, is one OF thu
worst results Of slavery and the war.
