The Rollins 1mbroglio.

The following sharp response of Secre-
tary Mccullough to the insolent and lying
letter Of Rollins, (RadicaD Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, we take from yester-
days daily paper. 1t is complete refu-
tation of the charges made by Commission
er Rollins in his pretended letter of resig-
nation. This Rollins is mere tool of the
Jacobin party, and as such, has lent him
self to its dirty work. He has endeavor-
ed, by falsehood, to bolster up the sinking
cause of his party, but has utterly failed
in his first attempt:
"Thls communication is partial, because
il attributes the present deranged con-
dition of the Internal Revenue service to
removals and appointments made by the
President, while it must be clear TO the
mind of the Commissioner that this dc
moralizalion is attributable in part to an
taconism between the Executive and the
Legislative branches of the Government,
which has prevented harmony of action
between them in regard to appointments,
and to the Tenure of Office act,but mainly
to the high duties upon distilled spirits,
tobacco, &C., which have created an ire
sistiblc temptation to fraud on the part Of
revenue officers as we'll as on the part OF
manufacturers, dealers, and others.
at is incorrect, in that it alleges that
numerous recommendations Of the Com
missioner for the removal of Assessors and
Collectors, even for the grossest miscon-
duct, had been always disregarded, while
the truth is that in all cases in which rec
omendations for removals were accompa-
MED by evidence of incompetency and
misconduct OF the part of officers, the rec
omendations were promptly responded to
by the President.
st is unjust and disrespectful to the
President, because the records of the
Bureau show that the falling off Of revenue
in districts in which removals were made
by the President in '66 was not compare
lively greater than in districts in which no
change took place that, in fact, the rev.
enues of the fiscal year ending June 3Oth
1867, during which removals were made
were entirely satisfactory, coming up very
closely to the liberal estimates of the De-
partment. while the decentralization of the
service and the decline cf the revenues
have chiefly occurred during the present
fiscal year, long after the oficers removed
by the President had been reinslated Of
others whose nomination bad been approx
ed by the Senate had taken the places o
the appointees Of the President.
at was for these reasons, and no other
that the communication could not be re-
ceived, and was returned to the Commls-
sioner. The return of it is also justified
by the fact that copies o: it were sent tt
the press before it was handed to the Sec
retary. 1t must, therefore, have been in
tended for the public rather than for tn
files of the Department"

Chief Justice Chase on t1e Situation.

The following is an extract from a pri-
vate letter written by Chief Justice Chase ::

tives by which / am drenched. Almost
everything alleged fact is falsehood out Of
the whole cloth. Where an allegation
has little fact in it the fact is so perver-
ted and travestied that it becomes false

cept disappointment that impeachment
has not thus far proved success, coupled
with belief that have done something

THE FREEDMAx's BUREAU.--A bill
asking a continuation of the Negro Poor
Houses in the South, for the benefit OF
our black blethern and equals, was deba-
ted in the Senate, and will of course be
passed. This is the way Radical Con-
gress retrenches the expenses Of the Gov
erhment and ightens the burdens of the
people, by appropiating millions of dollars
annually to support and clothe a lot OF
ignorant, lazy niggrrs, in order that they
may secure their votes.
Let 1t be remembered by the people,
that Radical Congress is appFoplatlng
yearly, sum of money, for party purposes
and party good only, that nearly equals
the entire expenses Of the government
when under Democratic control.

GRANT REGULATED AT HIS ILLINOIS
HoME-At an election held in Galena, the
home OF Grant,on Tuesday week. just elev-
en- days after his nomination, the entire
straight Democratic ticket was elected by
800 majority! AS at his Washington home,
and in Oregon on the day previous" "Grant
and Colfax" was the rallying cry of the Re-
pubIicans, but "the will of the people" was
recorded in favor of Democracy and Consti-
tutional government.

s- At the late Methodist Conference

g. At the late Methodist Conference,
which assembled at Chicago, the Rev.Mr.
Waldo introduced the following resolutions:
"That all government is based upon the re-
ligious ideas of those who carry it on,and
that the Northern Methodist have acquired
bv conquest the rie Int to control the religion
of the South. That it is just as wrong to allow
the Southern Methodists to meet and wor-
ship in their ways as it would be to allow
Lee and johnson to call together and drill
their armies again. They will soon be pro-
hibitcd from so doing. The religion of the
North is bound TO rule this continent and it
proposes to make a proper application
of our Bible to all the Southern States and
people. A subjugated people have no more
right to apply their own peculiar moral
ideas, than to use their physical implements
of war"
We have not the patience to comment
on this infamous thing. We almost wish we
knew how to blaspheme like old Ben Wade
that we might swear at it. But this is the de.
graded level to which the religion and pol
itics ofthis country are descending under
the reign Of the African barbarian party.
