Paying for the Whistle.

The expenses of the war department of
The government for the present year are
stated at the SUM of $50 .o0G, 900. The
eutire expenses per yeardurinS the admin
istration Of Mr. Buchanan were only s66,-
600 900. Now. as then, the country is at
peace, Jet We spend for one department
alone more than twice as much as the
whole expenses Of the government under a
democratic administration. 1t seems TO us
that the people are paying pretty dearly
for the radical whistle of a war for eman-
cipation and ltsc seaueDt evils. Perhaps
1t would be well also TO rsmembe. that
much of this radical expense is due to the
t~enacity with which, like leeches the radi-
Gals in power hold Oh to the body polite
sucking the life blood Of the llaboring mas
ses. With all their extravaganza they
could never by any fair means, run up so
large an amount Of expense for the people
to foot up; but they have ignored all con-
stitutio1al restraints, aud stop at nothing

the civilized world, have men been so
oyerbearing. .yrannical, reckless and cor
rupt as are the leaders OF the party now in
power. The rights of the people with them
are nothing, the laws of tho land nothing,
the cries of the oppressed nothing, the
tolls of the laboring men nothing, the I'M
ION Of the States nothing, dishonesty, false
pretenses, peeulation, theft, robbery and
murder nothing to them, provided these
things promise success to the perpetrators
of them in retaining their power and ILL
gotten gains. Tariffs are increased, taxes
piled up, the poor oppressed, the rich ia
vored, the memories Of our revolutionary
fathers maligned, white mcl degraded,
negroes lauded and thrust iuto positions
for which they are totally un prepared and
unqualified, military despotisms establish

Negro riots arc fearfully on the increase
oil over the south In every nook and cor
ner where the Military Dcspotism Bill can
reach a poor, half starve rebel. At Rich
moud, Va, riots occur almost daily, the
negroes being the aggressors in every III
stance, and killing white men whenever
Their thirst for blood wants a victim. They
attack street cars by night, smash in the
windows, and if possible kill the passen-
gers make raids on the f.cmen of the
city while in procession, and pelt them
with stones, and not ~unfrequently FIRE up
on them with muskets and reyolvers. On
Monday at Brownsville, Tenn, at the rad
ical convention, a serious riot occurred.
the result of negro incendiary speeches,
saying that every man that Lad owned
slaves ought to have his heart cut out"
At Mobile, the same day, the negroes
held a meeting, which was addressed by
Congressman Kelly, ofPa., a blatant torch
and-turpe milne radical. He did all in his
power to incitc . mob. The telegraph
says he commenced by SAYING that he bid
defiance to all interruption lie had the
18th regimen; at his back, and if this
proved inadequate, he would have the
whole United States army. In this strain
ne continued, using incendirry language,
and was finally interrupted by 4 white
man askiuga question. whercupon the ne
groes commenced firing upon the whites,
killing several aud wounding a large num-
her. These demonstrations are caused by
the unrcstrained liberty given the negroes
by the military Dictator under the Despot-
ism Bill, and the helpless condition Of the
whites to defend their lives and property,
by command of the same tyrant. The
people Of the 4outh cannot hope for any
thing but the worst kind Of slavery under
the dictatorship of such shoulder-strapped
tyrants as Schofeld. Sickles, Pope, Ord,
and, last, though not least, that living pes
thence, and imitator Of Beast Butler, Maj.
Gen. Phil. Sheridan.

The Beginning of the End.

On Monday Last, JEFF. Davis was bro

derwood at Richmond, and discharged
This action BY one Of the most radical Of
all radicals, is equivalent to an admission
that for nearly two years past, DAVIS has
been wrongfully suffering imprisonment by
the military power of the country. If not
wrongfully imprisoned he should not have
been released under the writ: if it is prop
er and right to discharge him now, he
should have been released in the first
place. Mr.. Davis after being discharged.

of treason, and let to bail in the sum OF
one hundred thousand dollars conditioned
for his appearance at the next term OF the
court to answer the charge.
We very much doubt whether he Will ev-
er be brought to trial. The radicals fear
to try him, because to do SO, and fail to
convict, as they most likely would, they
would become the laughing stock of the
whole civilized world and to convict and
execute him would bring down upon them
the indignation not only of Davis person
al friends aud associates in the rebellion,
but also of all thoughtful and honest men.

own political party. Either horn of the
dilemma is dangerous, and yet if he be
tried, they must grasp one or the other
Ii is more p.,bsble that they will, under
one pretext or another, stave off his trial
in the hope that he may die, and thus
leave the question of his legal guilt an
open one for demagogues to harp upon in
the future.
Should he be tried and convicted, it is
extremely doubtful whether President
johnson would pardon him, although
thousands Of leading radicals would petit
ton him to do so. Johnson and Davis
are personal enemies. and Johnson by
withholding his pardon could revenge him
self against Davis and the radicals who
have treated him so shabbily ever since
they asccrtaincd that they could not make
him 90 their bidding. Were it not for
these considerations Davis would have been
released by the PresiGen; long ago on bail
or absolutely pardoned. JEFF. Davis is,

plant on the hands OF the radicals which

A WRITER in the Knoxville TENNESSEE
Commercial gives the subjoined incident
touching the growth of OF Brownlow's mil.
tia:
"A Mr.. Chambers, Of Scott county, has
been for several weeks II lying to make up a
company, and upon Thursday last, the 25th
ultimo, they assembled at Huntsville to
complete the organization of the COMPANY
by the election of officers. After the cleo
ton, the defeated parties, who appear to
not be satisfied With the result, commenced
a dispute. 1t appears to have been a gem
eral melee; a promiscuous fight; some ff-
teen or twenty persons engaged in it. One
man, a Mr- Newport, was killed on the
ground a Mr.. Pennington had his skull
badly fractured, and is in a very critical
condition.. Some eight or ten others were
more or less injured by the promiscuous fy-
ing through the air of sticks, stones, bullets,
etc." :

zcns who wished, by military organization,
to preserve order and strike terror into the
riotous "rebels and copperheads." 1t is

have the matter under consideration, and
will doubtless report in favor of the scheme.
In case OF success, a military commandan.,
such as Schenck would again figure large
ly as Oppressor General, and radical MIN
compoop over the people, subjecting the
civil to the military power, when his will
would be law and democrats be compelled
to keep close mouths and stay away from
the polls, or else be subjected to illegal and
revolving punishments for their attempts
to do otherwise.
And this is to be done 10 the name of
liberty and all the people are expected to
say amen. Will members Of the republi-
can party indorse such high handed outra-
ges on the part eff their leaders, or will they
stop and think, and finally come to the
conclusion that the people have some rights
that jacobinical leaders are bound to res
pect? The infamous Schenck. miscegen-
ating Stevens, the drunken Chandler, the
sot Yates, the braggart Butler. the polished
Sumner, the demagogue Colfax, the bloat-
ed Wade and a host Of their ignoble con-
favor the project, and we expect to
hear by and By, that the rotten Moxa Nor
and his cheek-by-jowl associates in
~iniquity, from Hughes down to
Mattingly, are all in readiness to defend
his infamous outrage upon the rights of a
free people. Whether they will be sus-
tanned is a question for the people them
to decide, and the sooner they COM
nence examining the subject the better it
will be for them. Delay will jecpardize
every right which an American citizen
holds dear.

The case was then brought to the
at.eriion of the cCurt, which fixed his trial
for next term. Remarks were made by
Messrs. O'Conor, Evarts and Chandler in
reference to the amount OF bail and the
character of the bondsmen. The court
fixed the bail at 500, 600, to be given by
twenty different persons, one-half of the
amount by residents Of this judicial dis
trict, the other half by any residents OF
the United State.
Judge Underwood paid a high compli-
ment to Gen. Burton for the humane man
ner in which he treated Mr.. Davis while a
prisoner. He also said he had received a
letter from Chief Justice Chase, WHO
would be present at the next term Iof the
court, which will convene or May %.
When the cement was made by
the court Of its intention to admit Mr..
Davis to bail, no demonstration took place,
bit all present we're evidently pleased at
the result. When the court called for
those intending to go bail, Horace Greeley,
who was present all the while, rose, amid
