ton of Col Leon Trousdale with thu
appeal has ceased, and the fact is an
nonnced as follows:
We part for the time with our associate
Mr.. Trousdale, with the most sincere
regret The absolute necessity of reduc'
ing the expenses of the Appeal, in con.
sequence of the depression of business
of every kind, has alone compelled its
proprietors to deprive themselves of his
most efficient and valuable services.
MANY articles from his pen in the Appeal
during his connection with it have proven
him to be sound thinker and a
vigorous and polished writer; and if we
had all the world to choose from, we
should select him to be our associate.
He possesses our esteem, our affection,
and our admiration and we congratulate
our sprightly and valuable coadjutor,
the EVENING LEDGER, on its good fortune
in securing his services--for he is the
soul of honor and the sworn servant of
Truih.-Ed, Appeal.
We regret to say that the announce
ment of the connection of Col. I. with
the LEDGER is premature; for most
heartily would we indorse the utter
ance of our neighbor. We nave risen,
under the shadow of "Jove," to q
sprightly and valuable elevation.
We propose soon to get on the back of
Mont Atlas, and fling some thunderbolts
of our own. Let the big blankets stand
from nnder.

WASHINGTON.

New YORK, January IA Washing
ton special says the report of Revenue
Commissioners Wells will be presented
to Congress on Tuesday. Considerable
Importance is attached I'd it, as il
discusses at some length the financial
and industrial questions now before
the country. 1t is understood to advo-
cate reduction or repeal of taxes on
manufactured articles.
The National banks not having re-
ported their receipts for the month, the
public statement will not be issued until
to-day (Tuesday.)
A Times special says it is understood
that General Gordon Granger will be
assigned to succeed General Swayne in
the command of the b.district of Ala
bama.
General Candy has relieved General
Niles of his command at Goldsboro, N.
c., and assigned General Henks in his
stead. 1'he district will include nearly
all the eastern portion of the State where
complaints of disorder have been made
daily.

An Outrage.

A difficulty occurred last night be-
tween black hearted and cowardly dog
named Tullidge and a well known citi.
zen, Robert Chatham, in which the lat
ter gave the former q good and well
deserved ihrashing Immediately after
wards, Mr.. Chatham surrendered himself
to the civil authorities Maj. A. W.
Allyn, commanding the post, took Mr..
Chatham out Of their hands and had
him placed in confinement at the
camp, refusing bail, and stating he
did not recognize the civil authorities.
This is an assumption Of military
power which shows the petty despot in
the man who did it, and which will yet.
as il has many greater men, cost him his
posiiioa- The military are the servants
Of the law and they are not to interfere
with the civil authority until il fails Ia
perform its duty. The act Of Major
Allyn is an outrage on the liberties oil
the people Of the United States, and
prove him not only unfit for bis position,
but that he is what Shakespeare says:
Man, vain man,
Vested with little brief authority,
Cuts such fastastic tricks before high Heaven
/ As make the angels weep

A Washington dispatch Of the I'd inst.
to the Cincinnati Gazette says: Rev.
erdy Johnson is said to be busily engaged
in the various legal schemes looking to
the defeat of the reconstruction laws.
BE informed sone Of his Southern
friends, few days ago, that he fully
expected decision from the Supreme
Court within a short time, affirming that
Virginia is State. The President also
expects this, and the lawyers interested
in the case say that if such decision is
rendered he will withdraw military
supervision from that State, by ordering
the commanding officers net to interfere,
except at the request of the civil authori-
ties. 1t is said Reverdy Johnson is
giving close attention and advice in the
cases now being prepared, involving the
constitutionality of the reconstruction
laws in each of the Southern States.
Those engaged in these schemes profess
perfect confidence in their ability to
defeat the Congressional plan

the white race must and will control

blacks outnumbered the whites two to

We never doubted this, until We saw
clearly that the Southern whites them

certainly would not hold themselves so
pertinaciously aloof from the work OF
reorganizing their governments as they
DO. If brains, culture, political sagacity
