GENERAL SICKLES ALSO

The peremptory removal of General
Stckies is only another indication of the
superlative folly of the President. What.
ever may be the merits of General Can
by every body knows that General Sick
les is remove because of the earnestuess
and ability with which he has executed
the will of the people in enforcing the
reconstruction law He, like Sheridan,
is removed because his course is not
agreeable to the late reb Is, and is ap>
proved by all faithful Union men. The
my conceivable effect OF his removal will
bs ie'ay 10 rcorgan zng North and South
Carolina The smuulrrng enbers ofrc-
be!liou WI II revive under the Presidential
breath. The rebel chiefs who wer taught
by the old political associates Of Andrew
johnson at the North to dispise the char
auter and purpose and patriotism Of the
States, will despise them all the more
that they could have been so deluded as
to place him in his present position
Those mcn will not belive that he can
help thom back to power. But they see
that they eau help him to defy Congress.
And they despise him as thoroughly as
ever
When Generals Hancock and Candy
arrive at their new posts of duty they
will be tired by these leaders. If they
remain as firm and true as Sheridan aud
Sckles they will be opposed but respect
ed. If they yield, aud become much
under rebel manipulation. they will be
u ed and scorne6. Men like Longstreet,
who acquiesce for peace as they we're
earnest in fighting, can only regret the
dull folly which postpoues settlement
But the valiant editors of newspapers at
the South, which daily lament the lost
cause in the most elaborate and defiant
rhetoric, will shake their terrible pens at
Congress all the more fercely, aud re-
joice that the heel of Despotism has been
wounded by the doughty warrior of the
White House.
Delay in the reorganization which has
so well begun. continued suffering and
hopeless agitation, postpouement peace,
consequent possibility of more rigorous
measures, and universal disgust, are the
only results of such removals. --Harper' &
Weekly,

ST. LOUIS
the Reception Of General Jherdan

ST. Louis, September 9-The dem
onstration to night in honor Of Gen.
Sheridan was the largest outpouring Of
the people ever witnessed in St Louis
The torehlight procession was nearly
two miles long, and consisted of over
twenty posts of the Grand Army of the
Republic, large number of colored or
ganizations, represen tatives OF the va,
rious wards of the city, the fire departs
ment, and an immense, throngof citize MS
generally. The procession was nearly
an hour filing PAST the Southern Hotel
on the east balcony Of which Gen. Sher,
idan, his staff officers, members Of the
various committees and invited guests
were stationed. The crowd at and 10
the vicinity of the hotel after the pro.
eessioH had passed must have numbered
ten thousand, and the number that
thronged the streets on the line Of march
could not have been less than from TWEEN
ty to thirty thousand.
After the enthusiasm of the crowd
had somewhat >ubsided, Lieut.. Gov.
Smith deliverd short but very cordial
welcome to the General on behalf of the
people of the State, which was followed
by very eloquent address by General
Carl Schurz, in which he referred to Sher~
idan as the model American soldier, the
hero of mauy hard fields, the reprssen-
tative of American chivalry, the states
man as we'll as the soldier, to whom the
people of Louisiana aud Texas will here
after look with gratitude and esteem as
the man who opened the way to perma.
nent peace and prosperity
General Sheridan then stepped forward
and replied as follows presume you
all know l never make speeches. re,
greet exceedingly that | am not able to
make you ore tonight, but this very
kind welcome has been unexpected by
me entirely, and | can only return my
sincere thanks for your kind aud enthu'
siastc welcome.
A few remarks were afterwards made
by Gen. Pile, and the crowd gradually
diminished. In point of numbers, en-
thusiasm and general warmth and hearty
sympathy, many of the oldest citizens
say the demonstration has never been
eq ualled in st. Louis From eleven to
one o'clock to-day the General received
visitors at the hotel, and the crowd of
callers was almost iucessant The Gen
eral will leave for Leavenworth tomorrow
afternoon.

A PLEASANT PICTURE.

The following testimony to the char
acer of the free Omen we take from the
correspondent ofthe New York Times
That paper will not be suspected Of EN-
ploying correspondents to write Radica
letters; and we have not seen an appar-
emily truer picture of the actual conduct
and temper of this important class of
citizens. From the beginning Of the war
until now they have constantly justified
the efforts made for them and the conf
dence felt in them by the other loyal peo-
pie Of the country:
"When the war was over the question
What shall we do with the blacks p ag,
itated the whole country The very fact
that the negro had been held to woik all
his life under compalsion was taken as
an indication that under freedom he
would not work, and would become an
unmanageable aud uneudurable burden
on the community. This anticipated
evil found expression on the part Of the
South, in tho negro codes-a system Of
legislation next only in infamy to slavery
itself. The establishment Of the Freed
mems Burean--an institution which, in
spite of some attendant evils, has been
OF lncalculable benefit to the South
happily broke this up, and the blacks
were left free to choose their own eni-
ployers. Well, tc the joy of his friends
and the discontinue of his enemies, the
negro became an industrious laborer. 1t
is true things did not work very sm ,othl
ly the first year, but they were great
deal better the second, aud this year the
demonstration of the industry and idel-
ity oil the colored class is complete
Throughout the South there IS only one
answer to the question as to how the ne g.
froes are doing Very well; better than
could have been expected better than
ever before = variant in form, but SO
strong in its cumulative evidence as to
leave no doubt in the mind of auy dis
passionate observer.
"Then there came that severer test to

tn Sc who really wished well to the col>

blacks would prove mistake but | very
soon perceived that it was at least ne

fair>minded Southerner who doee not ad
NIT that when the negro was deprived of
| the protection of his master it was abso,
lutely necessary he should have that 9th
er protection which comes fromthe pos.
session of political rights. But here again
pleasant surprise met US. To justify
the faith reposed in him, the colorcd man
began eagerly to fit himself by education
for citizenship. The progress 10 this re-
gard has been most astonishing. Not
only are the children being taught, but
adults soow passionate hunger for learn
ing; and if an educational qualification
had been required for voting, l believe
that before the next election there would
hardly have been black man in the
South that would not have been able to

The Brooklin Eagle continue

The Brooklin Eagle continues
to inculcate the revolutionary idea of
resistance by the President to the
constitutional action of Congress-
1t now wants to know if the radical"
have contemplated what might hap
pen in case the President refused
to vacate his office in sbedience to
the vote of Congress "from which
ten States are excluded 2" Here it
is distinctly suggested that Mr.. john
son should, and probaly would, refuse
TO obey the verdict of impeachment
on tho gronnd that the rebel States
are not permitted to participate in
the proceedings. This is the old
threat and for reason advanced by
the President. A year ago he prea-
ched up the doctrine, because the reb>
els were kept out, that Congress was
an illegal body and he talked loosely
about driving it out. The threat itself
presupposes disposition leading to
acts for which he should be impeach-
ed. Let him undertake to execute
any one Of his threats.

-Fiye million a mnnLh in thA rcdnn.

Five million month in the rcduc-
tion of the public debt, will do pretty
we'll for dull times. Sixty million year
makes some thing of a hoe in the noun
tain. And this is the minium reduction,
we believe, made any mouth since the war.
On the revival of business, on the bring
ing of the years good crops into the mar
ket, on the siIencing, by public rebuke
at the election, of the demagogical can
.tings and growing, and on the recoustruc.
tion of the sec .de1 States, we anticipate
business prosperity in the country that
will whittle down the public bebt and in
divdual taxation at a rapid rate. If
the whisky tax were honestly paid, the
reduction during the past month might
have been perhaps twice as large as it
was. 1t is for the interest of every citi'
zen that this tax should be properly as
sessed and paid. The more effectively
the laws be put in execution on that arti-
Gle, the sooner may every citizen expect
reduction Of his own tax bill.

SoOLDING.-lt laughter begets fat, it
is no less true that scolding is the parent
of nieagerness. Who ever saw plump

would seem that the attrition of fierce,
exacting temper gives sharpness to the
