A desperate effort has been made to show
breach between the President and Gen.
Grant. 4 difference Of opinion did exist as
to the authority conferred upon Gen. Grant
by the supplemental reconstruction act, and
correspondence on the subject transplred,
but the President was in the right, as &C
knowledged by the Now York Evening Post
(RadicaD which says:
General Grant has issued an order to-
day for the removal Of General Sheridan,
Just as the President directed it, After
careful investigation, it is generally agreed
among the friends of Gen. Grant that the
supplemental reconstruction act confines his
authority over the district commanders sole
ly to approval or disapproval Of their acts in
removing rebel officials, and does not extend
to all the acts of said commanders, such as
postponing elections, changing registration,
etc. This is regarded as great omission
by Congress, and was not so understood by
General Grant when General Thomas was
directed by him to continue in force every
order of General Sheridan's."
The Radicals and the friends of General
Grant acknowledge the President to have
been in the right and thus ends what CO.
temporary remarks did not amount to q

Impeachment has been more talked of in
the past few weeks than at any time since
the adjournment of Congress. From what
VIC can learn the plain avowal lately made
by Hon. Thadeus Stevens, has thrown
somewhat of a damper over the impeach-
ment scheme. The National Intelligencer
says ''let the effort at impeachment come.
x ): The President can only get out
of the dilemma into which his counsellors
have betrayed him, by inviting a conflict be-
tween himself and his accusers.''

The Abolition party Of the North set up
-. e f;o,J,L;n for +ho ooIorod


The Abolition party Of the North set up
q vast claim of friendship for the colored
man, in which there is no justice, but on the
contrary the truth is that their hatred to the
colored man based upon extreme selishness
has brought about the existing state ofthings.
In earlier days there was considerable de-
sire on the part of Southern men to bring
about gradual emancipation, in The view OF
lettering the condition Of the then slave,
without damaging the interests OF owners
and the country This was too slow pro-
cess for the North and was overshadowed by
q desire there to abolish the institution The
advocates of abolition, it is true, en2eavored
to increase their numbers and power by
sympathetic appeals, but they showed their
hand plainly in the effort to unite with them
the white laboring classes. Then they as
serted that the labor Of the colored man, as
a slave, who, in that condition, would ever
be the preferred laborer in the South, stood
in the way of Northen white labor finding
renumerative employment here. Then was
the truth exposed and the doctrine of the
irrepressible conflict enunciated. There
was no love-no real sympathy for the slave,
but he stood in the way of Northern white
labor and must give way if determination
should follow. This pet scheme was carried
out but the white laborer found a competitor
still in the freedman, who, innocent of the
change in his relation to his former master,
continued to find employment and susie
nance among his Southern friends in prefer
ence to the white stranger. Old friendships
were too strong and chasm must be
made IN them or the result so long
desired would be lost in the only ire
pressible conflict" possible-between white
and colored labor. Then were words of friend
ship breathed into his confding ear until he
was ready to believe the insidious doctrine
that his interests were in conflict with his
late masters. There the seeds of distrust
were sown on the one side, to be nourished
by that immense act Of friendship CD the
elevation to the right Of suffrage, which,
while intended to humiliate' the Southerner,
would accomplish that other purpose, the
alienation Of the master from his former
slave. This accomplished, competition to
white labor would be destroyed and it would
even be sought after This result all can
plainly see stalking on to the ultimate detri-
mcnt if not destruction of the colored man.
And this result, who can look at the facts
and fail to see was the object sought, and
who can find therein one act of genuine
friendship to the colored man? But a friend
ship which gives the franchise to the igno-
rant freedmen of the South as right and yet
~ithholds the suffrage from the educated col
ored men Of the North. A friendship that
would, tomorrow, reverse the tables and
send the freedman back to servitude had it
d purpose to subscrve A friendship, the
counsels of which, the colored man. when he
fully comprehends it, will disregard, if he
values the perpctuity and prosperity Of his
race in this country.
