T WHAT DOES IT MEAEs
The following Section forms partOf the
Army Appropriation Bill, as passed by
both Houses Of Congress
SECTION 2. Ind be Il further enacted
That the headquarters of the general Of
the army of the United States shall be
at the city OF Washington, and all or
ders and instructions relating TO military
operations issued by the president OF
secretary of war shall be issued through
the general of the army, and, in case OF
his inability, by the next in rank. The
general of the army shall not be re
moved, suspended or relieved from CON-
msnd, or assigned TO duty elsewhere
than at said headquarters, without the
previous approval of the senate and
any orders OF instructions relating to
military operations issued contrary to
the requirements Of this section shall be
null and void and any officer who ssall
issue orders or instructions contrary TO
the provisions Of this section shall be
deemed guilty Of a misdemeauor in
Office and any officer of the army who
shall transmit, convey, or obey any or
ders or instructions so issued contrary to
the provisions OF this section, knowing
that such orders were so issued, shall be
liable to imprisonment for not less than
two nor more than twenty years, upon
conviction thereof In any court of com
petent jurisdiction.
Does this mean that there is doubt
whether the President will faithfully and
submissively execute the provisions of
the Military Despotism bill, and use the
proposed LoyaIist and Negro National
Guard for the purposes contemplated by
the Assassins Of popular liberty and
that, therefore, General GRANT is to be
virtual Commander in Chief of the army
in his stead ? Does it mean that there is
an understanding and q bargain between
! General GRANT and the Anarchists in
Congress, anG that he is to serve them,
as the price TO be paid for the succession
to the Presidency? Unfortunately there
is nothing so strange or startling ia these
days of revolution, that it may not be
presumed to be true.

THERE is a person named GARFIELD in
the lower body of the Congress of pHes
of the United States, who ought 10 have
lived in the daysyQf religious persecu-
ton. He d~ecla%os that the "rebels -
have lost ali their rights. They retain
at least the right to despise him. He
says that he and his fellows have the
to try and hang every one of US.
He talks about taking our last dollar,
and depriving US of citizenship. Had

practices Of the Inquisition, to provide

IF CoNGREss really desires that the
ate owners of the freedmen should treat
hem justly and kindly, does il expect to
fleet this by giving the right of suf-
rage to the blacks and taking it away
the whites . It's establishment Of
hat miserable and unmitigated nui-
auce, the Freedman's Bureau, has al
eady wrought immense mischief, by
.isinclining the negroes to labour, by
making them insolent and exorbitant,
nd by creating in the minds Of the +.
among whom they prowl and {
teal, not a hatred Of them, but an alb
Of sympathy, and a growing in
Inference to their fate. Is it wise to q
urse the miserable race, in addition, I

THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS-. 3
We have said nothing heretofore in {
sspect to the indications Of a compro- y
between the President ami his h
enemies in Congress; nor shall p
e yet believe that he has yielded all to e
lem, TO avoid impeachment. He is Z
rely wise enough to know that he can q
Ot so conciliate them, and would, by ii
Ich a step make his utter ruin i~nevita- b
e. II he has consented to a bargain SO Y
grading, he is lost. 1t would be quite q
