'YOU ARE HEREBY REMOVED"

Such is the brief. curt, and imperious
language of Gen. Sheridan in removing

ney General of Observation-Disclosures chos.
en- by the people OF that region. This
is the first lesson in military despotism,
and it is but proper that it should be
given by the same man who laid waste
with fire and torch the valley OF the
Shenandoah. The same military officer
that burned houses over the heads of
helpless women and starving children
The same leader who made bonGres OF
barns, IN country where thousands
were starving, and ruthlessly drove from
one of the talrest spots on earth,
swarms Of "subjugated" women, "con-
quered' children and ''subdued' old
men, to the mountains TO freeze aud
perish, roohess and homeless. 1t is fit
that the first lesson in military despot-
Ism should be gwen by this man.
"You are hereby removed !" sounds like
the death knell OF republicanism, and it
could not emcnate from filter source
than Gen. Sheridan. Still the people

The Reriew e. Examiner of last week,
thus relieves itself of an unusual burden
of hate because, forsooth, he to whom
the liberties and lives of the people OF
Louisiana are committed, by swift and
righteous exercise of authority swept
from power the men upon whose souls
Is the blighting stain Of the murders Of
July 1866, in New Orleans. No re-
marks of ours are needed to point out
in all its hldeous detormity the under.
current Of despair, and talsity, and re-
venge, aye and cowardico! which the
language above betrays. Despair for
the loss of their cause; talsity in the
blasphemous libellng OF one otthe North's
best and bravest defenders revenge in
the desire that another uprising should
lay waste the land with fire and sword
cowardice in that they counsel the assas
sination of our leaders
How long will 1t be ere such attempt
to cloak their sayings by drawing abou,

In his tilt with Mr.. Blaine on the impeach-
ment question in Congress, on Saturday, the
hero Of Fort Fisher indulged in some very
disparaeing remarks regarding the press Of
the country. There were few Of the news
paper people, he said. who had not daughters,
sons, nephews, uncles, aunts and cousins in
the federal Offices Of the government. What
ever truth there may be in this remark ap-
plies only to the members Of the profession
who, like Butler, laid aside an honorable call
ing to follow pursuits for which they were
utterly unified, but in which they hoped to
make short cut to wealth and notoriety.
One thing, however, can be said of the news
paper soldiers which cannot be said Of other
civilians who were ambitious of military
glory-when they got into danger they never
turned tail. On the subject of silver spoons
they may have had their weaknesses, but it
was only in association with whiskey punch.

Custom House psrq sisites. The test OF Inn
peachment will depend upon the Judgment Of
the House committee; and as the honesty Of
Mr.. Hulburd is endorsed by both our Senators,
Morgan and Conkling, we predict complete
vindication of the Collector. Asfor the innuen-
does involving the Presidents friends and
family, they are already reduced to- idle gossip.
The Collector and the President inthis busi-
ness have taken the right course, and our
honest merchants in supporting the Collector
are vindicating their own character as class
assailed in these base attacks upon ONE Of
their fraternity, tried and approved through
twenty odd years of responsible associations
as an upright and worthy man.

Alexander II. stephen. Wants 10 Wait.

1t is said that the late Vice President of the
late Southern coniedcracy has counselled the
South TO do nothing, but wait. This is bad
advice from Mr.. Stephens. What the South
wants most OF all just now is active progress
and instant cooperation with those measures
which have been presented by Congress for
reconstruction. Such men as General Lee,
Wade Hampton and other leaders of the late
rebellion are urging the people in this direc-
ton with view to restore them to their
is an evident design on the part of both
Legislatures and people to follow their advice
The inactivity which Mr.. Stephens counsels is
anything but masterly. Stagnation is the
principal thing which the South has now to
fear

On Saturday evening last, on very short
notice, Mr.. Collector ,Smythe packed his carpet
bag, locked it, put The key in his pocket, put
on his overcoat, aud, with few parting words
to bis family, left this city for Washington.
Whether he was summoned by Mr.. Hulburd's
investigating committee oil the House of Rep
rcscntatives, or by the Judiciary Committee Of
the Senate, or by the Secretary OF the Treasury,
or by the President, it was not known; but
busy rumor had it that the requisiion was
from the White House, and that 1t broadly sug-
gested the sine qua non of the Collectors resig-
nation. So many curious things have been
going on at.washington during the last few
days, looking to a new division Of the federal
spoils in this quarter, that we hardly know what
to think of this conjecture in the absence of
specific information; but the special Washing
ton despatch from trusty correspondent,
which we publish this morning, clears up
the mystery, and the solution is perfectly
satisfactory.
Our sorely prosecuted Collector, strong in his
convictions that justice and truth are on his
side, Is not TO be frightened from his position.
His well-earned character as an honest man
and faithful public officer are at stake, and
he will not basely yield it to the clamor Of his
enemies. Every fair dealing man will approve
his resolution to court the most searching
prosecution under the test Of impeachment
rather than ignobly surrender to the hue and
cry Of ravcnous and disappointed cliques Of
Office beggars. We are especially gratifed,
too, with the assurances upon this subject that
the President intends to stand by this faithful
officer, and cordially susains him in his reso-
luton not to resign under these scandalous
combinations Of spoilsmen arrayed against
him. With the President and the New York
merchants at his back these hostile clques
have no resource against the Collector left
them but the test Of impeachment or the aban-
donment of their case.
As IL stands, the case is now divided between
Mr.. Hulburd's special committee of investiga-
ton of the House and the Judiciary Commit
tee Of the Senate-the latter being specially
charged 10 ascertain the truth or falsity Of
certain vague insinuations against Senator
Patterson "a son-in-law Of the Presidency and
Senator Doolittle In connection with the

Canadian Confederation In PARLIAMENT.

The British Parliament seems determined to
rush the scheme for the kingdom of Canada
through. The bill passed in the House Of
Commons after a third reading on the 9th
inst Its success in the House OF Lords may
be assured; therefore, in as far as the Cana
dian Confederation can be affected on the
other side of the ocean, we may look upon it
as established. As majority Of the British
American provinces have dec arsd in favor of
it we may consider the new kingdom on our
northern border as good as formally created.
The sovereign, the throne and the titled no.
bility are, of course, to follow in due time.
