One day last week young clerk In
the pest Ofhea 1f this city, while labor
ing under a violent attack Of loyalty
addressed 8 grossly insulting epistle to
Mark q, Pomeroy, ESQ, editor of the
La Crosse Wis., Democrat, signing hlIl1-
self tsA Loyal Clerk in the Pittsburg
Post Office t'BriCk," /" by some means
unknown to rs, obtained the name Of
the loyal chap, ana forwarded the same
to the Department. at Washington, to-
gether with the epistle itself, which was
couched II language peculiar to black
guards Of the lowest order On Satur-
day, Postmaster AEeCleun received a
message from Washington city, order
ing an investigation into the conduct of
the clerk and recommending his imme-
diate dismissal, should the charge
against him prove to be we'll founded.
We may add that his place is now va
can't Fjtts5siEg Post.
Such is the result Of Influence, p with
the great head Of the Government at
Washington. We cannot approve black
guardism in anybody, but If the clerk
referred to can descend to lower order
Of bIackguardism than is apparent in
every issue of POmeroy's paper, he
should be put in a box with q thousand
pounds Of iron, and sunk into some
mud-h0le out Of the reach Of human
sight. But, the idea Of POmerOy COM

Z ment, for being blaekguarded! IL IS on
4 ly astonishing to Us that the cOpper1sh

/ deeply synpathize with this adept IN bill

I His loyalty" however, explains that
matter.-G GZBiN LGeoTgjal UI1ioH.

We have read the political stump
speech, by courtesy called the Message
of the Acting President, 1t ought to be
entitled, g An Incsndiary Document de-
signed to stir up Civil War with a view
to establishing Rebel Domination in
America"
1t ais over nine ordinary newspaper
columns, the frstsix of which consist OF
abuse. Of Congress and of special plead
ing tor the right of a Southern rebel ar
fstocracy to lord it over their physical,
mental and moral interiors" As this
same aristocraey formerly domineered
over the Northern people it is presum-
able that the latter are included in the
inferior class, and the necessity Of re-
storing them to their normal condition
/ is, byindirection, very clearly set forth.
OF ooarse this happy state Of Northern
Rubiugation is plead for in the meme OF
the Constitution and ''tne Sag with
thirty-six stars on it," instruments 50
sacredIy cherished by Andrew johnson
and his Rebel clientss and so contuzne-
liously trampIed upon during the last
seven long years by the Radical Union
lists Of the Northern States.
1t is assumed from the beginning OF
the message to the end that the only no
ttceable Offenders against constitution
al laW in this country are the National
Congress and the party by which its
hands have been upheld during the
great crisis Of the nation. The fact is
scarcely recognized that q great rebel
lion has transpired in the land. The
only 'trabellionD denounced is that
which has occurred sat the Northern
end of the line" The only dangerous
elements to be watched are those which
furnished the money and blood which
preserved this Union. The people who
elected Andrew johnson to Office delu-
sively suppOsing him to be a man Of
patriotism and decency are the only
persons blamed for attempting to dis
rupt ths Union. The people betrayed
by himself and JEFF Davis is the only
people against whose future misconduct
any guarantees are necessary. The on
~ source from which despotism is
threatened Is those same people, who
having put down q rebellion for slavery
have seduOusly endeayOned to restore
the shattered sdifce OF the government
on the liberal, lasting and just basis Of
equal rights for all.
Such is the substance Of this ravinR
demagoguery from the White House. To
particularize we VIII quote, beginning
with the first sentence:
ssThe continued disoreanization Of the
TTrfCr tn Tr1nfnh the RraRffln emf has nrs r,f
ten called the attention Of Congress, is
yet q subject Of profound and patriotic
cencern."
IT the Union continues disorganizsd
who is more TO blame for it than AM
drew Johnson2 If there has been q
more obstinate, passionate and unrea-
.sonable obstacle to a speedy settlement
Of the difficulties growing out of the
war than himself the nation has failed
to discover it. LeagHed with the North

xB Co1GREss


The special session of the Fortieth
Congress ceased at noon on Monday last
and the regular session commenced at
the same hour. Both Houses have ad-
dressed themselves vigorously TO the
financial and Tetrenchment measures
The records show that more bills and
resolutions, directing inquiry, have al
ready been introduced than were ever
before brought forward in the first two
weeks Of any session, and at least three
fourths Of the whole number relate to
these two ects......The Committee on
Banking and Currency is said TO be Op-
posed to reporting any measures for dis
turbing the National Banks, unless 1t
be on the subject Of tax. The Commit
tee will not report bills substituting 8
greenbacks for their currency unless in
structed to do so by the House. .Sena-
ator Morrill,, Of Vermont, introduced a
bill providing for resumption Of spe-
Gle payment by the United States Treas
urV and National Banks, on the 4th of
July, 1869, which was laid on the table
and ordered printed. Mr.. Morrill, said
he should press it at an early day
the Senate on Monday, Mr.. Fowler, Of
Tenn, introduced a bill to repeal the
tax on. cotton. Laid on the table,. Va
rious bills have been introduced to pre-
vent further contraction Of the curren-
cy...,.A bill was introduced proposing
that members Of Congress shall be cho-
sen upon one day throughout ths IN
.Thad. Stevens introduced q bill
to establish a system Of common schools
in the District Of Columbia.- The Pres
ident's Message was read to both Hous-
es of Congress Tuesday. In the House
Mr.. Schenck made a speech before and
after its reading, commenting upon the
disrespect shown to Congress by the
President, in allowing the message to
be telegraphed all over the country be-
fore it was read to Congress. It is stat
ed that an attache of the White House
sold copies to newspaper men during
the previous evening.

RECONsERUOTIOK


The New York Tribune in the course
of an editorial commenting on the re-
sponsibiities Of Congress, very truth
fully says:
This session Of Congress promises to
be of unusual importance. When the
present Representatives were elected,
the Republican party was powerful in
most Of the Northern States by the bal
lot, in all of the Southern States by
military occupation. The party was
charged with Reconstruction. That
work is done. Mr.. JOhnson's course
was embarrassing, but these very en-
barrassments compelled it to labor with
unusual VigiIanCo and industry. Re-
construction, so far as it is a legisla-
tive political policy, is finished. Mr..
Johnson Will find it as impossible to
change the policy as it would be for him
to initiate Joshua and stop the sun and
moon. We have given the negro the
ballot, and it cannot be taken from him
without asociaI cOnYu1siOn. We do not
think there is any party--unless, per-
haps, a fragment of ignorant Copper
heads-that seriously proposes to annul
Manhood Suffrage. In the North, pre-
judice has kept it back but with as it
is not practical question.
Here and there, new stitch may be
necessary, but the Reconstruction work
is ended-and a very good piece Of work
it is.

The Acting President graciously con-
eades, ia part of the political harangue
called mis- message, that his duty to
'spreserve, protect ana defend the Con-
stitutionH has not yet required him to
"adOpt forcible measures" TO resist
what he considers the unconstitutional
legislation Of Congress. For this con-
cIusion the public will no doubt be pro-
foundly grateful, particularly as he
cOnfesses to have "deliberated much, p
and to have been vo1ed with great anE.
lety Of soul in his effort to determine
whether duty called him to use such
6orcibIe resistance. He thinks, hoWev-
or, that 4cssea may occur in which the
Excessive would be compelled. to stand
on its rights and maintain them re-
gardless Of consequences" In other
words VEnsu the peoples representa-
tivss proesed so far In opposition to
King Andrew that his forbearance
ceases to be numbered among his other
virtues he will employ force to turn
them out Of the capitol.
The untoWafd generation who have
chosen these representatives should
be deeply grateful for tho Difference
shown them By their Merry Andrew,
and for the naildness with which he
tenpers his threats of possible ehas-
tisemsne.

The National Government, as in duty
bound, paid the expenses for defending
Governor Tod against prosecutions by
the Democratic martyrs, who sought TO
inf1ict personal damage upon the Gov
ernor IN this way for the discharge Of
official duty. These expenses in the ag-
gregat8 amounted 10 h6een hundred
dollars. The Statesman, with that fa-
cility for multiplication in which it ex-
cells, stated the amount at fifteen thOus-
and dollars. During the last week we
have several times seen the item bob
bfnE round in the dirty sea of Demo
cratic Journalism, and the rural press

The negroes are dong their work very
well. They labor with diligence, and,
as the elections show, vote promptly
and intelligently. We certainly have
not seen any of that blind and docils
obedience to their old masters, which
we were assured was insepaTable from
their former condition of slavery. Nor
have we noticed any evidences of the
malignity and vengeance which the
Copperheads assured as would result
from their accession to power. We have
had no general law of disfranchisement
in the State Conventions, no voting each
other farms, no effort to force them
selves into Office, no clannishness, not
even the excesses Of whittier races emer-
ging from slavery. 1t viii be some
time perhaps before suffrage is as intel
hgent as in the North; but we believe it
to be quite as intelligent as in many
wards OF New York City. Events alrea-
dy justify the wisdom of Impartial Suf-
frage, and Congress may well leave Re-
construction to Time.

There has been a g6od deal Of Con
aressional debate on the question how
we contracted to psy. our national obi
cations and, Incidentally, whether we
should pay them in greenbacls. In our
judgement this is not ths question in
order. The naisl questions the all inn
portant question which now forces it
self upon the attention Of Congress and
the people is, what is the shortest and
safest method Of returning to specie
payments. Let rs get back 70 specie
payments as soon as practicable, Hs the
Interests and safety Of the country de-
nand, and the people can no longer be
jealous of paying our national creditors
In specie, since our paper money win
have become equivalent TO coin and
quite as desirable.
