ted to the appeal made by the Republican
Committee for money to aid in organizing
the party in the Southern States, says:
We understand that n good deal of the
money contributed hitherto has been used
in the distribution of Mr.. Stevens confls-
cation speech among the Southern negroes
is that the use to be made of the money
asked for now?
Where was the poins in STEVENS rebuking
WILSON for threatening the South with
cOntiscation, while, AZ the same time, his

little disturbance which occurred ut Mobile
the othe" day. We are told that It is the
out-cropping of the old Dso-slave-y 'ntol-
erance, and requires prompt aad vigorous
measures. We are informed that it is the
resurrection of the secession doctrine, and
must be dealt with summarily and decisive
ly. We are assured tnaC it Is the -ekind-
ling of the smouldering fires of an unsub-
dued rebellion, and a howl is set up that, Il
need be, tnese fires must be quenched IN
blood. Such are the false and malevolent
comments made by Jacobin editors and
politicians on the Mobile affair. In what
marked contrast with this manner of view
ing comparatively unimpOrtant local dis
turbance, was the reception by he same
parties of the information, q few davs
since, tina: disturbance of equal or even
greater extent had occurred at Browns
Vile, Tennessee. In the latter case brick
bats were freely used. Over hundred
pistol-shOts were fired. The number of
people wounded was not less taan twelve
or fifteen. Why is It that the Radical
press, teeming as 1t is with comments upon
the Mobile disturbance, Is silent upon the
Brownsville disturbance? The whole ex-
PLANTATION of the apparent inconsistency
lies in the fact that at Brownsville the
'iotous proceedings were confined to mem
bers of the Radical party-occurred, In
short, in mixed Radical Convention o.

aB-A single military department" al
the South mas three hundred boards of reg
istration. They have already held theiI
sessions for weeks. They viii hold then
for many weeks to come. Each member is
paid eight dollars a day. Estimating ten
members upon each Board, including all
their runners and attendants, and three
hundred boards 10 each of the five Mon
arches and we have a daily expense of one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars
(Sl20,000) for these boards alone. But thii
is but small part of the cost of the Des.
potism. The military commanders with
their staffs-the army of soldiers--the ma
chinery of the Five Monarchy Act-art
rolling up the expenses of the federal trea'
sury by the hundreds of millions. The
money that is needed to reduce the enor-
nous national debt, Is absorbed by this gov.
ernment of the despots in the ten Southern
States. The expenses of the Wa Depart
meat alone the present year will be one
hundred and twenty-five millions OF dol
lars, aud some estimate it at one hundred
and fifty millions. 1t should noS be Ovel
twenty-five or thirty millions. At least
one hundred millions of dollars will b,
swallowed up this year by the War Depart
ment in carrying out the Five Monarchy
Bill.-HarUord Times.
