4 Virginia planter wishing to obtain q num-
Der of able-bodied negro lsborers, recently
went to Richmond to procure them, having
heard that there were hundreds of unemploy-
ed blacks lounging about the city. He was
directed to one of the places where the freed
mems bureau distribute large quantities of
bread and soup. There he found about five
hundred ragged persons, among whom he
counted one hundred and eighty able-bodied
men capable of performing any labor on a
farm. While they were idling about the
spot, with pans and kettles and jugs, waiting
for soup and bread, he offered many of them
the highest wages paid agricultural laborers,
and abundant rations of good food. But
they one and all refused to go to work on
any terms, alleging that they were fed by
the bureau without any trouble on their part,
and if they left Richmond they would lose
their right to vote So it is that we are tax
ed to keep lazy negroes in idleness, that
they may vote the radical ticket and recon
struct the south on good radical principles
What should we think were the streets of
our northern cities filed with robust beg
gars, fed by the government instead of being
compelled to earn food for themselves?

A dispatch from Washington says: Du-
ring the discussion of the reconstruction bill
in the house, Mr.. Cary, of Ohio, sent bomb
into the radical camp by propounding four
questions to Mr.. Bingham, viz Mr.. Cary
said: aA4
AS time will not allow to give my views on
this subject, desire to ask my colleague, when
he closes the discussion, four questions, and ms
they shall be satisfactorily answered, my vote
shall be determined
!. II General Grant shall neglect or refuse to
exercise the provisions of this law or il in its
execution he should act in an oppressive and
cruel manner, to what tribunal would he be amen
able for his nom feasance mal-feasance?
.. As by the terms of the bill the President
can not interfere, can the General be tried by
esurt-martial, and, if so, who can order and who
shall constitute the COURT
B. Not being civil officer. can he be i'm
peached? and if SO, by whom and before what
tribunal?
4. IF he can not be arraigned by any earthly
tribunal, Is he not made absolute despot?
Before Mr.. Cary had concluded, half the
members We're on their feet, and Butler,
Boutwell,, Schenck, and others, rushed up to
Bingham to counsel with him how to meet
these propositions, but they were unanswer-
able, and Bingham failed to give a sati5fac-
tory reply.

In 1864, Charles Sumner, Ben Wade,
Zachariah Chandler, Henry Wilson, and
other leading radical senators, addressed a
communication to the then President, Mr..
Lincoln, with the view of inducing him to
make change in his cabinet. In that COM
munication, they said:
THE theory of our government, the early and
uniform practical construction thereof, is that the
President should be aided by a cabinet council,
agreeing with him in political principle, and
that all important mt assures and appointments
should be the result of their combined wisdom
and deliberation."
Now, these same senators thrust upon the
President q cabinet officer obnoxious to him,

was not led away BY the temptation, nor did
he advance the price at home. This =
only one among a great many instances
which can be given to show that DIR. Trues-

give Mr.. Cable credit for liberality or gener-
osity, in not taking all he could get-but we
give him credit for good business manage

them certain supply at all times, and keep

when this proposition was made, that the

could build as many cars as they wanted

guarantee that they should make as good

The legislation of congress in the new
reconstruction bill, by which Gen. Grant is
made a supreme military dictator,and placed
above the President, who is constitutionaIly
commander-in-chief, is oddly contrasted with
the language of the act in which this con
gress created the grade of general in the
army. 1t authorized the appointment from
among the army generals of one most dis
tinguished for courage. skill and ability
"Who, being commissioned as General, may be
authorized, under the direction and during the
pleasure 81 t!.s President, to command the armies
Of the United States"
Now, we are not such devotees to the exc
cutive authority as to believe that the presi-
dent can do what he peases with the army.
notwithstanding the laws which congress
may pass. Congress may stop the pay or
dissolve the army, and make regulations for
its government. They may restrain the
president in the use of the army, and estab-
iish directions in what way it shall be used
with reservations, of course, that these laws
shall be IN other respects constitutional
But they cannot take away the command OF
make another commander-in- chief, or give te
anybody else, Or take to themselves, the full
executive power of the president, to have
command of the army in all cases and for
all purposes for which it is used under any
law. Every restriction Oh his authority in
these respects is unconstitutional and in
the case now---of establishing a dictator in
the country, with a command of the army
superior to the Presidents not merely un
constitutional, but aagrantly revolutionary

Mr. Sherman'si funding bill is a PROPOSE
ton to convert six per cent. non taxable
bonds. payable in greenbaeks after the expIr-
alton OF five years, into five per cent. non-tax-
bic bonds, payable in gold after the expira-
ton of twenty years. Capital prefers long
investment TO short one; and il is thought
that five per cent. bonds, with not less than
twenty nor more than forty years to run, with
the stipulation of payment in gold, will be
considered by present bond holders as equal
TO six per cent. bonds, on five-twenty years
time, payable in greenbacks. The conjee-
ture is an extremely probable one, even with
out considering that the plan is one to put
into the pockets of bondholders about thirty
three per cent. more than the actual value OF
their bonds at the present time! IL Is estl-
mated that the difference between i've per
cent. ard six per cent. will save to the peo-
pie some $l5,000,O00 year in the reduction
OF interest. 1t seems a marvellous saving,
when the same scheme proposes TO take from
the people at least $500, 100000 more than
they actually owe! IL is q species OF say

A Washington special says the Ways and
Means committee agreed to prepare an
amendment to the bill laying special tax
of 81 per barrel on whisky in bond.
The House Banking committee favor the
substitution of the proposition offered
some time since by Mr.. Hooper, for the
Senate bill increasing the national cur
rency.
The Senate Finance committee have de-
cided to report the substitute proposed by
the Secretary of the Treasury for the
House bill relative to the transportation of
merchandise in bond from ports of entry
on the seaboard to ports OF entry in the
interior. Important features of the House
bill are retained, but special guards are
made against fraud.
Heavy frauds on the Government are al
legged to have been practised in the pay
ment of bounty to colored soldiers, and it
is said q prominent head of bureau in the
Treasury is involved.
