TEE REPUBLIo.-T new Army Of the
Republicans ergans The Republic, made its
appearance yesterday. 1t lisa very hand
some, we'll printed sheet. The editor in his
salutatory says: sit is not our design to
devote much space to politics, yet we could
not do less as an editor than we did as sol
dier-support the Union" He asserts the
doubtful story of the exclusion of politics
from the Posts of the Grand Army, and
pledges himself to exclude from his col
umns all vulgar, slang phrases and abu-
siye personalities" We believe just as
much of the story of there being no poll
tics in the organization of which The Re
public aims to be the organ, as we choose
Our private opinion is, that any one who
imagines we have, under the Military Re
construction act, a Union, would hardly
know what is political or what is not.
AS an evidence that this is not political
paper, we append the following, clipped
from it's editorial columns. It is from a
comment on an article from the Cincinnati
EnQuirer
"Why this constant cry against the New
England states? Is it because her people
are hardy, industrious and perseverlng, and
are in favor of all classes aud colors of citi-
zens becoming equal before the law !? And
for this helesy from the Democracy it
would drive them out Of the sisterhood OF
States. f the Democratic press is fair
index of their principles, they can lay no
claim to the word Union"
There; the man who calls the Grand
Army a political body, or its organ a po-
slitical paper, after that, has no more sense
than the local Of the Journal.

ray General Ord issued on the 18th
the following order. 1t is excellent;
and if. with assistance of the Sheriffs, it
can be enforced, will do much for our
friends in Mississippi. We fear, however,
it will be found extremely difficult, If
not impracticable of execution
Commanding officers are directed to
notify the leading colored men, and take
such other measures as may be neces-
sary, to give general publications of the
fact-that all freedmen who are able,
will be required to earn their support
during the coming year, and to go to
work upon tho best terms that can be
procured; even should it furnish a
support only, and thus prevent their
becoming burden to the Government
All freedmen who can, but viii not earn
a livelihood when employment can be
procured, will lay themselves liable to
arrest and punishment as Migrants. The
CO. operation of sheriHs and constables,
and police magistrates is requested in
the enforcement of this order, and any
lust action of theirs under its provisions
will be sustained by the military author
tiles.

BG- The Reporter (which, by the bye,
is an excellent country paper), pub
lished at Holly Springs, Mississippi, is
urging concert on the planters for next
years operations. 1t says planters
must agree as to the wages to be paid by
them for laborers, and the course to be
pursued towards lazy, insolent, faithless
hands" The course necessary to be
pursued is precisely what is to be deter
mined. But we doubt whether any good
is to result, short of vagrant laws, under
State or national authority. When we
ever see negroes regarding contracts,
as poor white men think it but common
honesty to do, and fairly performing
them, except from compulsion, we shall
see what we never expect to do. What
then can result of advantage from uni
formity in contracts, which because
they are thus made good for the whites,
are never to be executed Will the
terms OF contract and the price agreed on
avail with .aithless hands who will leave
at will the planter with his crop half
made, and when the least they can be
paid in advance is beard and clothes,
which in numberless instances is more
than they will earn? If a hundred
thousand white men cannot be permitted
to live as Migrants, and by robbery and
stealth, neither can so many blacks. In
the absence Of control BY the competent
power, we can see nothing in prospect
but raising the devil generally, pauper-
ism and psndenOnium. IL is law
higher than mans, that they who will not
werk shall not eat, and the population
which lives by plumber must, in self
defense, be met BY arms.

MOBILE, December 2l.-The trial Of
Major Horton, General Pope's appOintoe,
for the violation of the civil rights bill,
in the case Of Charles Archie vs. John

The trial was occasioned by the alleged
illegal Punishment of said johnson from

argued before his Honor Judge Busted
in the United States District Court

considerable discussion and interest
among the people. 1t was regarded as a

bill, and resulted in verdict of guilty,
rendered a few minutes after the jury
retired. Sentence will be promulgated

WASHINGTON, December l9.-The Pres
ident is credited with saying that If his
special message should have the effect to
Mace Hancock prominently before the
country as a candidate for President IL
would be satisfactory to him.
In reference TO Hancock's conserva-
tive course in New Orleans it is proper
to remark that he is executing pro-
gramme marked out for him by the Pres
ident, who appointed him to that COM
mand for that specific purpose.
II will not diminish the high estimate
in which the people hold Hancock by

The Judiciary Committee will decide
to report against allowing members of
Congress extra mileage Many Of the
new members claim they should be
allowed mileage for three sessions of
Congress during the two years, from the
fact of an extra session having been held
during the summer. The committee,
however, do not think the law justites
such extra allowance, and hence will
report against it.

morrow. Knowing ones say 1t is very
strong in its constitutional argument
against the passage of such bill as fully

holders,

From the N. Y. Commercial Adyertiser.l
Unless the action of this Congress
proves beneficial to the people and coun-
try, there will be as many vacant seats in
the Senate and House Of Representatives,
after November. as there were empty
saddles after Antietam and Gettysburg.
1t should then, with due delib-
GRAFTON, but without unnecessary delay,
tax Government securities. Those most
directly and Immediately concerned in
this are the holders of these securities.
Nor can they afford to sleep on it. Mem.
beers of Congress are next in line If
they neglect thus to equalize taxation,
justly dividing the burden between capt.
tai and labor, I" the places that know
them now shall know them no more
forever" And let no man attempt 10
beguile his constituents with Congress
sional pabulum about Keeping faith with
the public creditor, etc, etc The pub
lie creditor" if he be half sensible, will
be the FIRST to urge this action. If Con-
gress expects to preserve the faith and
credit Of the Government, it should
equalize and ease the burdens of taxa
ton. The rich require protection
should be willing to pay for it; or il un
willing, should be made to do So Atany
rate, the NJ. c. who goes home leaving

ment bonds, will have leave to stay at
home.
