the Chief Executive would make no effort
TO stop them. The Iiiassacres of New Or
leans, the long reign of terror in Texas, the
murders and outfages all Though the unre-

Andrew Johnson's policy. Thanks to him,
there are States properly belonging TO the
Union which are without civil government.
Thanks to him, the bsyonet overrules the
bench, the privilege of the habeas corpus
is suspended, and justice Is administered
at the drumhead. Thanks to him, the
fields are uncultivated, the plow stands
idle, the mill wheel Is still, and gHsnt star

is stopped, property is insecure. life Is pre-

conquest and degradation of the North
these are the two planks of his platform
We are thankful to perceive that Congress
is resolute in its determination that this
platform shall be overthrown. 1t is fixed
in its policy OF reconstruction, and every
which stands in the way must
be removed. The South is not to be given
up to anarchy. The President Is net to
override the laws. Our duty Is now plain.
We must stand by our representatives.
They are fighting our battle, and we must

LETTER FROM SENATOR WILSON, OF MAssA-
CHusETTs M
In this year, ls6S, the peop.e are TO
choose Chief Magistrate Six millions OF
men, weaponed with ballot, will strive
for the glittering prize. Mighty issues are
involved in the impending cyiiest. The
political organizations, with sharply defined
ideas, principles, and politics win contend
for the mastery, for the executive power OF
the government during the coming four
years, in which are to be gamered up the
fruits ofthe victories of the terrific strug
giles offhe past seven years, or In which
old Issues will be reopened and old strifes
renewed, that must embitter the future of
The Republic.
The people are ranged ;2to two politic.l
organizations, each with nearly three mil
lions OF voters, q name, and history. The
one claims to be the Democratic party; the
other calls itselfthe Republican party. The
history of the country during the past thir-
teen eventful years is record Of the ideas,
principles and acts ofthese antagonistic or
ganizations. Their issues have not been.
like the ordinary issues Of political parties,
mere questions Of administration !: but fun
damentai and vital, as opposite as the ze-
nth and the nadir ;..,rsSf s-ststl
The history of the country for the past
thirty yearstoo clearly shows that the Dem
ocrafic party has been dominated by the
dark, inhuman and unchristian spirit of
slavery; that 1t was guided through series
Of years by the councils. Of slave masters,
or by leaders in sympathy with slave mas
sers. That history teaches us that under
that fatal leading the Democratic party re-
nounced the faith Of the republican fathers; !;
look from black men rights accorded by

throat aud lungs. TO test the value Of il in the
case alluded to, I compounded small quantity Of
the medicine that had been planning, and gave
1t IN teaspoonful doses. The result was exceed
ingly gratifying. Within two days the irritation
ofthc throat was removed the cough subsidized, and
a speedy cure was effected. Soon after this sent
some to a lady in Londonderry. ". H., who had
been suffering for some weeks from bad cough

Canton, Ohio, has a curious sensation.
The Stark County Democrat says ii Is an
undispuied fact that young lady aged
sixteen years, named Anna Brown,
residing in Canton, has snake in her
stomach. Its head has been seen in her
mouth number of times by many people,
and on Sunday, the 29th ult., by twenty or
thirty, when for brief time it was out as
far as the lips. The attending physician
was about 10 grasp it, when a movement of
t5e girl, who was in a spasms prevented,
and the opportunity was lost. The doctor
thinks it is of the tape species, and very
long, probably twenty yards. The girl,
for some seven years, has been afflicted
with spasms of severe character. By
laying the hands on her stomach at times,
IFS terrible motions and contortions can be
easily felt. The head OF the slake or
worm Is quite black. The usual time for
it TO make its appearance is about six
o clock In the evening. People are con-
stsntly coming and going, amounting to
several hundred day.

When we speak of a restoration of all

slavery, some of our people smile, and
think we arc vver-sanguine. 1t is some
consolation to know that we are not by
any means alone. Read what the Hon.

CONGRESS- and the suprcms Court.

The attempt which has been masle by a
majority III the House Of Representatives
to prevent y decision by the Supreme
Court against the constitutionality of the
Reconstruction Acts, has been condemned
throughou, the country. a large number
of pal .crs in the Republican connection
have denounced it, and even the most
Radical organs OF the party have done lit
tie more than teebly to apologize for it.
1t must not be supposed, however, that
this result has had any salutary effect
upon the minds of those who originated
tie scheme The new measure which has
since been prepared by Thad. Stephens
published by us Yesterday is not pre-
scntcd as substitute with any Difference
to the prevalent popular condemnation OF
the former project, for it avows,. in express
terms, the object for which the first bill
was covertlv contl,wed Mr. Stevens and
some of his Radical coadjutors are sharp
enoughtn sec that the original PROPOSE
ton must fall by its own weight. An ull,
constitutional law would have no effect in
securing another of the same character
from judicial condemnation. The new
measure, IL VIII fuc Seeli, oiuS Tic a
peal to the Supreme Court of any ca &c
arising under the illegal action of Con-
grcss in the establishment of a military
despotisln in part of the United States.
This is both confession that the acts
referred to are unconstitutional, and the
avowalof a determination to enforce thom
at I'LL hazards. But; no matter how trying
such desperate measures may be, they can
only be met fairly at the polls, and the
people must possess their souls i'll patience
until the remedy is in tEcir hands. The
lesson will not be without its uses. When
we portrayed the characterof that Radl.
calism now throwing off ;ll disguise; some
of our readers thought that the picture
was overdrawn. They can now sec its
dpf1rmity for themselves. and are not
likely to be enchanted with the revelation.
Tile Conservative portion OF the dominant
party are rcaping the bitter fruit of their
own sowing, and we trust that they will
be wiser for all the time to come.-Journdt

proposition, in cabinet meeting, i'll regard
to the abolition of whipping, as a punish.

officers agreed on that point, but they
differed aSsto the propriety OF interfering

NEW ORLEANS WEDNESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 20 1868.

Many planters are unable, through want
of means, to pay freedmen wages, and can
only employ them on the system Of shares
in crops raised. In all such cases, bureau
agents will, when called upon, furnish all
necessary assistance, as provided under
existing orders
ART. g. Monthly reports of INDECENT and
helpless, specified in circular No 10, series
of 1867, from these headquarters, will be
made and forwarded as heretofore, and
must include only those destitutes who are
unable to labor or otherwise provide for
themselves, and to whom the parish or
other local authorities fail to render the
necessary assistance to prevent starvation
and suffering.
The utmost care will be taken by the
agents not to include the accounts of the
INDECENT and helpless with those of the
laborers who receive assistance through
the planter. In all cases their accounts
must be distinct and separate.
Subsistence for the INDECENT and helpless
will be issued gratuitously, and will be ac-
counted for in accordance with instructions
heretofore promulgated.
The necessary blanks will be furnished to
agents requiring them on their application
for the same to these headquarters.

AMUSEMENT =.
St. Charles Theatre.


As Spdrtdcus in the "Gladiator last
evening that eminent tragedian, Edwin
Forrest, sustained his reputation. Unfor-
tunately, the severity of the storm deferred
hundreds from witnessing the performance
who had purchased tickets and secured
seats in advance. This evening Mr.. Forrest
will appear as Hamlet.
Academy of Music.
Burnt cork, and too much of it altogether,
at the Academy last evening, where many
people went to get out OF the rain. Miss
Adele st. Clair appeared in song, and was
warmly applauded. Delehanty and HeDg-
Ter in the popular Senegambian gambols,
and the brothers Miaco in their thrilling
performances can always be mentioned ap-
provingly. The unsuccessful and disgust
ing burlesque of the Black and Tan Con
vention " ought to be withdrawn at once
There is neither wit, humor, nor sense in it.
Miss Nellie Taylor proved herself to be an
accomplished vocalist. This evening the
usual variety performances.
Varieties Theatre.
Almost everybody in the city had the
blues last evening except those who went
to the Varieties to see Joe Jefferson in the
comedy of "Lend Ne Five Shilliugs" and
in the burlesque of Mazepps." He is
one of the most amusing actors that has
been on the theatrical boards in New Or
leans this season, and will appear this
evening in one of his favorite characters.
AmeS' Museum.
The Crescent City museum, No. 40 ST.
Charles street, is open day and night for
visitors. The innumerable curiosities, the
glass blowers, the little queen, Miss Leak,
the wild animals, ETC., form very pleasing
collection, and attract crowds of visitors.
Do not fail to visit the museum.

Appearances along the levee are improv
ing. Boats arriving bring in pretty fair
loads, and an increasing number of pas
sengers, all of course Contributing to the
cityis welfare. Boats departing are carry.
ing away better loads than they were a few
weeks ago. Pleasant.
We have heard it stated that clothing and
some varieties of dry goods are selling al
lower rates here than in New York.
Dust and dullness prevail in the court
house, but opposite is Jackson square,
fresh, verdant, and redolent with fruit and
flowers.
A little further on toward the river, and
comes motley mess-draYs and trucks, well
loaded, rattle along increasingly, with a
hurry that seems queer how they avoid
crushing into one another.
Those little shops along Old Levee street
have exposed for sale cheap shotguns that
are very dear. One good charge of powder
would send them and the holder 10 Kingdom
come.
IS there city in the world that has as
many miles of street railroads as New Or.
leans? Probably not. And more are to be
constructed.
One more large and old mercantile firm
has deserted Chartres land taken a building
out Canal street.
We noticed a "Cheap John store on the
south side of Canal street, where they have
nothing on sale that costs more than one
almighty dollar.
The independent markets are all making
a living, and perhaps something more,
while no falling of is perceptible in the
regular markets. Room for all.
Seven soap factories on Washington
street.
If the draining canals are not soon at
tended to, the name will have to be re-
versed.
The style of creditor to debtor, az must
pay my licenses tomorrow; settle that little
bill" And so often repeated that our gro
Ger must have about ten thousand licenses
to pay; but he hasn't.
Twenty, ten, and five dollar bills are free
ly handed in over the city treasurer's coun-
ter daily for licenses.
Blue ribbons are numerous since the fair.
We saw dray horse in the last degree OF
consumption futtering piece, and news
boy flying one from very dirty shirt.
About time for another coWhiding affair
on Carondelet street.
A correspondent should take lessons from
Anna Leak, the armless girl, who writes a
pretty hand with her toes.
Capitalists should know that the present
is proper time to purchase real estate in
this market at rates that are bound to result
in large profits.
