Removal of Gen. How,


1t is much regretted that the Presid..,
templates the removal of Gen. Hom
the head of the Freedman's Bureau
affairs of the Bureau have been we'll a. ~
istered. 1t has been blessing to
masses of our people in the hands of ~eI
Howard. The only fault alleged oa'S
him is that he is radical RepubHcaD
any man has right to his own v;or
politics, Gen Howard surely has, forbeh
about him constantly in the loss of =, N|
his arms, the strongest proof that coDn,
offered of his devotion to the country
The correspondent of the Boston a.
tiser says:
At the request of the President Job, ,
Langston, colored orator from Ob;o
had long interview with Mr.. johns, u
garding the changes in the Freedman n
reau. Mr.. Langston urged Mr.. JoEnso1n
retain Gen. Howard, giving as his nSI onia;
that the real interests of the colored p,aol paa
required it. Mr.. johnson replied tPsVPP PPsvP
considered Gen. Howard ambitious and
rupt, and that besides he was hrnao.
and did not have the interests of the oo'
ed people at heart, and said that he mpst t"F
point man who was true friend to II ~
and he intended to do so. He further @ a.a
ed that if the colored people here vor5 o
agree upon some one Of their number N
would appoint him, and clearly intima.I
his readiness to tender the place to MY %a
Langston. The latter has no idea of t,k;a
the place. His friends here advised him y
to do so, and while many of them W wonS w
lik to take thee President at his word anS
commit him to the policy of giving bIsoS t
men Office, still they appear to agree tba
the real design of the President is TO invNla
the bureau in irretrievable difficuIties' W.
putting civilian at its head, and maxim:
necessary the removal or resignation q
many military officers who could not ii
duty under civilian, and also complcatiO.
it's relations with the other bureaus of n
War Department. The President furths
hoped thus to secure the resignation u
many officers through their refusal to servs
with and under cololed men, and in tbi,
way to bring odium upon the Radicals
There seems no probability of Mr.. Lane
ston's being caught in Mr.. Johnson's trap7
1t is also stated that Mr.. Langston eODl
suited Gen. Grant on the subject, who tOl
him he considered it in every respect unadI
visable for him to accept the place. I'd
told him that if Gen. Howard were remOrl
ed, Mr.. Langston could not hope to girl
greater satisfaction in the administrator \
the affairs of the bureau; that he was full
satisfied Gen. Howard had done his betI
and had committed no act which would DJ
bear rigid scrutiny but if he Grant val
to remain Secretary of War, and Langsta
should be appointed he would aid him D
the best of his ability. Genearl Grant ii
conclusion, said nothing had been said ID
him about the removal of General Howard
but if it were accomplished, for reasons 81
ready stated, it would be inexpedient and 4
no practical benefit to the colored race fd1
Mr.. Langston to accept the position. Nj
Langston then urged Gen. Grant to dOal
he could to have Gen. Howard retained d
he was satisfied he was true friend to IL
colored people.
