DISTRESS AMONG THE: WORKING
PEOPLE OF TIE NORTH.

There Is an unusual amount Of suffer
ing and destimtion among the working
people Of the Northern States. Il is
,tated that at least one hundred and
fifty thousand working men and women
are out Of employment in New York city
alone OF course this lack of employ
ment entails an immense amount Of pri-
walton. The New York Post states that
it is conceded by those best informed
upon the subject, that with the exception
Of the very hard winter Of lS54-5, desti-
tuition was never 50 general in that city
as at present, and adds
"The reports from the various missions
and other benevolent societies, as well as
those from private individuals, speak OF
extraordinary privations among the poor,
including an unparalleled number Of
Americans. This winter, for the first time
IN the experience Of the police, American
mechanics nightly seek the shelter OF the
station houses; and not alone for night,
or In few numbers, but by dozens, and &C
| co1lpsnied ia some instances by their
wives and little children. In many cases
the applicants for shelter are women and
children - frequently the widows and
orphans Of those sho lost their lives in the
war Some Of the lodge st the station
houses many nights in succession"

He does not stop there. His indignation
reaches snch pitch, he telegraplia his
brother his determination To resign at once.
Senator Sherman replied 10 the General
begging him not to resign, and sent note
to the Military Committee requesting, in
the name Of the General, that the nomina
ton he not confirmed Sherman, in his
dispatch, ventures TO protest sgainst being
called to Washington to make it his head

the Radicals of much Of their apprehen-

the turn that things are likely TO take.

friends, and The purpose of the President
is to ALLEVIATE them.

that Horace Greeley in conversation a

At the outset, by the applicant He has

THE PRESIDENT.
Three Highly Important Movements
Conformation Among the Radicals
Gen. sherman Indignant.
Special to the Louisville Courier

Gen. sherman Indignant,
Special to the Louisville Courier.
WASHINGTON, d. C., Feb. 14.-DeyeIop-
ments seem to indicate that johnson has
assumed the offensive, with the determine
ton to carry the war into Africa. But APP
pearanCes are deceptive, and things are
fearfully mixed at the national capital.
Within the past twenty-four hours the
President has made three important moves,
all calculated to alarm the Radicals and 20
produce an impression in the country.
We have had a rapid succession Of nom-
nations. Lieutenant General Sherman az
brevet General, the creation of a new mill
tary department styled the Military Di-
vision Of the Atlantic, headquarters at
Washington, and third, ordering General
Thomas, Adiutant General of the army, 10
report, which has been filled for the last
six years by Assistant Adjutsnt General
Townsend. The latter order IL significant
in view OF those which precede it. Matters
of private and personal character caused
Gen. Thomas TO be detailed to duty else
where aud his sudden restoration was not
anticipated.
As to the purpose for thus establishing a
new division, and fixing headquarters at
Washington, he may or NAV not choose to
explain. We have now General Grant,
commanding United States, headquarters
Washington. We have Breyet Brigadier
General Emory, commanding department
Of Washington, headquarters here. We
have also Lieutenant Colonel Wallace,
commanding the garrison Of Washington,
with headquarters here.
The second order has been followed by
resolutions Of inquiry from Senator VIII
son, calling on the the President for the
authority for creating a new military diTis-
ion. While his authority is denied in the
Senate, it will he found, on examination,
full and complete, and on this point the
President is perfectly secure.
The Radical inquiry now ia, why has a
new military division been formed, and an
other General, with headquarters at the
Federal capital, appointed.
Sill more important is the movement in
regard TO Gen. Sherman. The movement
is likely to prove embarrassing to the
President and create considerable excite
nent when the facts are known. The
President evidently has been striking in the
dark in the matter, as q telegram received
to-day from Gen. Sherman, now in St
Louis, By his brother, the Senator, shows
ANYTHING else than.appreciAtion Of the high
compliment paid him.
The General condemns the nomination
a. one which should never have been made,

North Carolina Convention.

RALEIGH, Feb. 15.-The convention
was engaged to-day on the bill of rights.
Among the sections was one pledging the
faith of the State for the payment of the
public debt, other than that incurred in aid
of the rebellion.
Mr.. Durham offered a section prohibit
ing marriage between whites and negroes,
which was tabled, thus virtually voting il
down.
The use of the hall for lecture was OBJ
jected to by a negro and white delegate,
on the ground that on former occasions
negroes had not been allowed the privilege
of the same floor with the whites.

In former and better times the slave
aristocracy of the South was the great
bug,bear to the North But what do we
find now? Slavery and the so-called
slave aristOcracy' Of the South have
passed away. In their place has sprung
mp a bond aristocracy of the North,
more eneryating and more crushing than
was ever felt in the country. The former
added to the aggregate productive indus
try ofthe Union the latter adds nothing,
but drains the people Of two hundred
millions pei annum. The four millions
of slave property added that amount an
nually to the wealth of the countryside
three millions OF boarded bends takes
away the same acknowledgements pro-
ducing drain Of four hundred millions
per annum upon the industrial resources
of the country, besides the support of
the freedmen The remedy is, to get rid
of the bond holders, as we have already
dispensed with the slave holders, and
give every man fair and equal chance,
and compel the negroes to support them-
selves.
