Tuesday Morning. January 81. 1868.
Feverish.


Washington kilograms say that the
feeling in thatcity is 'feverish." We
do not doubt 1t. The uhsorupulous
portizans who have assumed political
supremacy at the capital, now show
an unmistakable determination to
rule or ruin. They have melted away
all the fine gold of the Constitution
in that misohievous crucible of theirs,
and have given in return nothing but
dross and emptiness. In their deter
mihation to retain political power,
they have, it appears, become alto
gether reckless of consequences.
Without counting the cost, they have
determined to subdue the President,
and Grants political aspirations seem
to have made him their obedient SER
want. The bill which they have re-
ported for the further subjugation,
humiliation and Africanization of the
South is, suggests the New Orleans
Times, the last venture of desperate
political gamblers, who, seeing that
they have been condemned by their
own constituents, undertake to steal
the ace of spades from the political
pack and play it as trump, whether
1t is one or not. 1t would appear that
they really want to swap the white
man for a contraband, even as Esau
bargained away his birth-right for q
miserable mess of pottage. The is
sue between these usurpers and tho
people can no longer be evaded.
Every interest is imperilled by the
lawless course they have pursued.
Capitalists are afraid to invest; gold
has taken IN upward rush; conf
dence everywhere is shaken. For
this. there is but one remedy-a re-
turn to the Constitution and the laws
to the letter and spirit of represen-
tative institutions. The long i'm
pending conflict between the respect
i've departments of the Government
is now. upon US.

IHE COST OF THE FREEDMEN'S BU-
REAU.-Gen. Howard has written an
official letter containing statement
OF appropriations for the Freedmen's
Bureau by Congress-. for the fiscal
year ending July 1, 1867, and July l.,
1868; the amount expended from
these appropriations from July l.,
1866, to July 1, 1867; the misoella-
neous funds from various sources and
the disbursements thereby; also the
total cost of the Bureau since its or
ganization, from which appears the
following: Appropriated by Congress
for the fiscal year ending July 1,
1867. S6,944, 45O; appropriation for
tn the fiscal year ending July 1, 1868,
So, 1856, 800; total $40, 7s0, ESQ; amount
in the treasury January 1, 1868,
80, 736, 984; amount in the hands of
the disbursing officers, $645,9 OIL,
which makes expended from the ap-
preparations, S4,397, 1854. In the
above amount expended is included
$500, 600 to relieve destitution, &c.
lAct approved March 80, 1857 and
800, 600 transferred to the Agricul-
tural Department by Congress to fur
nish seeds to the South. These sums
deductive leave the legitimate ex-
penses of the Bureau for eighteen
months, 1884, 1854. Amount of
funds received from other sources by
superintendent of negro affairs and
agents of the Bureau from May l,
1865, to January l, 1868, $685.
134.41; balance on hand January i
S6, 836, 531; expended in three years,
81, SCI ,6O2.62. Of the above amount,
there has been expended for schools
alone $392,526 The current ex-
penses of the Bureau were paid from
this fund prior to July /. 1866. On
the organization of the Bureau. Nav
10, 1865, it was necessary to assume
the accounts of the Department of
Negro Affairs from January 1, 1866.
Therefore oil expenditures for freed
men from that date are included
above. Hence from January 1, 1866,
to January l, 1868, the cost OF the Bu-
reau has been as follows: From ap-
preparations by Congress, Sd, 397, 1854; {;
from miscellaneous sources, 1861, ,6O2.
The Bureau has also disbursed
S25, 900, appropriated April IT, 1866,
for the relief of destitute citizens of
the District of Columbia, and also
S15, 600 appropriated March 16, 1867,
for the relief of destitute freedmen in

ARREST OF A YoUNG TH1EF.-Chief
Radcliffe succeeded, Saturday night,
in arresting young freedman named
Henry Smith, who has been commit
ting depredations on various indivi-
duals in Columbia, for a length Of
time. He has been hauled up once
or twice, but got off, as a general
thing, with light punishment, on ac-
count of his youth; but as it has been
pretty clearly proven that he belongs
to gang who are levying toll indis-
criminately, it is hoped he will be
semitic the penitentiary. The imme-
date offence of this "Artful Dodger"
for artful he certainly must be-is
stealing a pair of boots from Mr..
Flanagan, and pair of shoes from
Mr.. Shelton. AS Henry has been
very flush with money recently, it is
supposed that the carrying off The
money drawers of Messrs. Mckenzie
and Sloan, can safely be placed to his
credit.

feared that the rush of unemployed

increase the robberies of store-rooms

great many unfortunates were turned
adrift, and they have, during the past
few days, been focking into town.
Accounts from all parts of the sur

ALMOST A DUEL. An affair of honor
was nipped in the bud, through the
perseverance of Chief Radcliffe. It
appears that o night or two ago, as
we are informed, o remark relative
to a lady, made by young man, was
misconstrued by another into an ex
preston of disrespect. Words fol-
lowed, and then challenge. The
parties were on the way to the duel
ing ground, yesterday morning, when
they were arrested, and stop put to
further hostile proceedings. The
affair caused considerable excitement.
