New ORLEANS, September "a spe-
cial dispatch says intelligence has been
received from General Sheridan to the
effect that the order relieving him from
command reached him on Saturday, and
that he would turn over his command to
General Griffin as soon as that officer
could arrive from Texas Radicals OF
New Orleans express confident belief
that Congress will see General Sheridan
is returned to finish the work of recon
struction which he has so ably begun
Petitions are already in circulation
urging this upon Congress.

gress.

BY- There have been fewer applica-
tons for relief under the bankrupt law
in the northern cities than was anhcl'
pated. The New York World says
that "instead of taking advantage of the
law to free themselves from their obli'
cations by being declared bankrupts,
the delinuuents and unfortunate traders
are "settling" with their creditors. For
one person who makes application to
the courts, there are twenty who pri-
vatelv come to an understanding with
their creditors. This has been done to
so great an extent that throughout the
country thousands of old merchants Will
re-snter business this fall and winter. The
law allows practically of three modes oil
settlement, the voluntary and involuntary
bankruptcies Of insolvent debtors, or
compromise without legal proceedings
and this is what is now going on all over
The coun,ry. The effect cannot but be
GOOD. Hundreds of energetic men will
again find their way into business and
thousands Of families will be relieved
from the burden Of old debts. The Ia"
30 far seems to have worked well.

WAsHIYGToY, September 3.-The Presi-

formerly member of Congress from

for the Fourth District of that State, and
Col. Minor, OF Ohio, Collector of Gus
toms at GalvestoR.
The Treasury discussed during the
month of August $25, 900, 900 for public
service, mostly on account of debts con-
tracted by the War and Interior depart
meuts.
Commissioner Rollins has gone North
for two weeks. All Efforts for his re-
moval will encounter resolute opposition
by the Secretary of the Treasury, who
declares there is no possible ground on
which charge against Mr.. Rollins can
be made.
Receipts of Internal Revenue to day
amounted to $l,5Os,O39 so. For the
month Of August they reached l7,s4S, =

the income tax this year fell due in May

LONDON, September 3.-Queen Victo-
ria's speech proroguing Parliament is
not very sanguine as to peace. She
trusts no grounds exists at present for
apprehending any disturbance with
regard to Abyssinia A peremptory
demand for the liberation Of the
prisoners has been made, and, il
necessary, measures for supporting that
demand will be taken. The reasonable
conspiracy in Ireland is referred to in
severe terms, but no room is found for
promising any redress for the great
grievances which the Irish people still
suffer.
The reform bill is referred to in gen.
eral, unmeaning terms, and no an
nouneement is made as regards the
supplementary bills which must come
up at the next session of Parliament
The foreign office has issued blue
book containing the documents which
have been filed in that department in
the case of the Alabama, and the corre-
spondenee which passed between the
governments of Great Britain and the
United States relative thereto The
latest dispatch shows what progress has
been made in the controversy, and gives
the condition upon which the English
Government is willing to attempt final
settlement. In dispatch addressed by
Lord Stanley, Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, to Sir Frederick Bruce, British
Minister at Washington, and dated May
"a, 1867, Stanley informs Bruce
that England is willing to submit
the claims of American citizens
for damages caused by the Alabama, and
all other demands on the part of the
United States on common arbitration,
if the claims Of British subjects against
the United States, for losses suffered
during the late war, are likewise sub
mitted to decision IN same commission.
In a circular note, the Porte announces
to his ministers at foreign courts that
the war in Gambia has been brought
to close, and general amnesty
granted to the usurpers. The same note
promises many reforms forthwith, in

of laws.

GEN. GRANTS Powers UNDER THE
RECONSTRUCTION AcTs All the power
granted to the General of the army by
the reconstruction acts is strangely,
foolishly, and no doubt Internationally,
confined to the approval OF the removal
and appointments OF ofliceholders. The
act, carefully read and literally inter-
preted, gives General Grant absolutely
no other power; and here we have an.
other specimen of the result Of hasty
action by Congress. Just in the very
emergency that Congress designed to
meet, General Grant himself crippled to
very serious degree by bungling legis
lation. -Ne,o York Times.
Abandoning the landmarks Of the
Constitution, the Congress is swinging
round the circle, in succession of
plumbers. II il should meet as often as
once a week to rectify mistakes, there
would still be blunders to rectify, 1t is
beyond the capacity Of the radical Con-
greas to legislate in violation Of COM
mon right, and cover it up under Re-
publican forms, as that usurping body
essays to do. Hence the necessity for
another session. If Congress will come
out boldly in its work of usurpation, and
declare itself supreme over the Consti-
tuition, appointing Grant sergeantat-
arms, the work will be made so much
easier, that, by continuing In session to
rectify frequent errors it may be able to
keep along In bungling way and reign.

Ray We are all but forced to the con-
clusion that lying land we use the word
in its strongest sense) has become one
of our national traits. The amount OF 1t
done by our northern friends during the
war has only been equaled by what they
have done SINCE. Those who misrepre'
sented our condition when in arms with
view Of encouraging enlistments IN
the armies opposed to US have turned
the depraved faculty to better account
in recruiting for the ranks of Radlcalism
by maligning and slandering US now.
The northern rabble, which was duped
nv its leaders into war which was to be
ended in sixty or ninety days (2) are
quite as easily manipulated to-day in
perpetuating the hard feeling and malig'
nifty engendered by that warfare There
are exceptions among the more intelli-
gent and thinking classes, but we have no
reason to believe that the masses North
have yet discovered that they were not
fighting for four years band of outlaws
and half civilized barbarians. Such are
the results of the wholesale classifying and
instrumentation through official re-
ports and newspaper correspondence
practiced during the war, and the same
thing repeated by radical organs and
politicians ever since, A friend returned
from a visit to the Northwest informs us
he was constantly bored by inquiries as
to whether any northern man would be
safe in passing through the South.
Even Democrats and peace men quite
frequently were the propounders of ques.
tons no less absurd and laughable, and
who can for a moment doubt their sin
cerity in doing So There is a system
of deception, thorough and effective
which has been, and is to-day, kept in
operation upon the minds Of the North
ern masses, the fruits Of which are mis-
conceived ideas OF the South, preJudiees
and bitterness of sentiment, all Of which
contribute 10 the strength and perpeiuVy
of radicalism. And here it is we dis
cover the object aud the enc great end
to the accomplishment Of which lying
has been brought in vogue aud rendered
so very fashionable. Ignorance among
the Northern masses is the proper bliss
of Radicalism, for only therein it holds
its lease Of power and existence. In
tighten the masses North, and that mo-
ment the hold which ambitious dema-
eorues and party aspirants have upon
them will be sundered forever-then
living will fail Of its objects, and falling,
become as unbelievable IS truth and
honesty are nov. Tine only may &C
eOmplish this, bat we are eOEhdent that
