GEN. WINFIELD SCOTT HANCOCK Is
getting badly tangled in Louisiana.
We apprehend he will yet have to use
the sword to cut the knots with which
the rebels are fastening him, notwith-
standing his grandilogent expressions

&c. IF the civil laws in that State
are supreme, We would like 10 know
what he is issuing military orders
for, every day OF two. These military
orders SAVIOR of odiOus despotism.
We call upon his accidency. the
President, to modify Gen. HANCOCK
Immediately. After the publication OF
his first order announcing the restor-
alton of the civil authority, ha6eGs
corpus, and the rebels to power, we
expected the General TO subside,
to absquatulate, vamose the rancho,
retire to the shades OF private life.
He don't do anything of the kind.
He brushes the sensibilities of their
ehivalry by new orders-the badge of
their subjugation. A day or two at
ter issuing the order to which we
aIlude, notifying the rebels that they
we're masters of the situation" the
General issues another order, making
a public official of foreigner, thus
deliberately going behind the pow
er conferred upon him by Con-
gress, to say nothing Of the
insult to the intelligence of the
Louisianians conveyed in the insinu-
alton that none of them were quail
fed for the position assigned this for
eigner HANCOCK must quit this
thing, if he expects to beat PEN
DLEToN in the Democratic National
Convention We warn him that the
Democracy will not tolerate such mil
itary freaks. He has the odium,
already, Of having destroyed many
thousands of Democrats during the
war, aud it becomes him now to be-
have very discreetly that his deeds in
that direction may be forgotten.

We decidedly object to the course
pursued by some Republican gentle
men and papers. Men are every day
announcing themselves in favor of
Gen. GRANT, who have not hereto
fore identified themselves heartily
and enthusiastically with the Repub-
lican party. This is no reason that
they should be abused. If Mr..
STUART, of New York, supports Ges.
GRANT, we say, amen. There GER
tainly is no reason why we should
cast suspicion upon Gen. GRANT, or
denounee Mr.. STUART. IF other
gentlemen, in different parts of the
country, are active in organizing
GRANT clubs, we give them
three cheers, and say, roll
on the ball" We notice, how
ever, that some who claim to be
par ercellence, the Republicans of the
country, are disposed to carp at and
find fault with these gentlemen be-
cause of their earnestness and zeal.

The New Commissioners Of Internal Revenue.

The New Commissioners Oh Internai kevenues
President Johnson has sent into the Senate
the name of Perry Fuller, of Kansas, as Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, in place of Mr..
Rollins, resigned. Perry Fuller is the brother
in-law Of Miss Winnie Ream. If for no other
reason the Senate should Immediately confirm
him, as q slight recompense for the indignities
heaped upon his sister-in-law by the Jacobin
impeachers of the House. Mr.. Fuller is said
to have been originally a Massachusetts, demo-
crat. The Massachusetts, democrats are re-
puted to be an obstinate, strong-headed set Of
politicians. Yet II seems singular to be
obliged to 20 so far as Kansas for Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue; but in view of the
fact that Kansas saved the nation from the
folly and disgrace Of impeachment, in spite Of
the whiskey rings, 1t is not inappropriate
that Kansas should be called in to settle
the business Of the whskey rings. The studio
of Miss Winnie Ream was invaded by Butler
and his committee, who ruthlessly cracked the
head of Lincoln and scattered all his stale
Jokes 70 the wind. Now let the Senate con-
firm Fuller and he will in his turn break up
the whiskey rings and spoil the merry jokes in
which they have INDUCED during the last two
years. To be sure, IT has been said that Miss
Ream managed Senator Ross and thus de-
feated impeachment. But this is all balder-
dash. Grant was the last man with Ross at
twelve o'clock on the night before the final
action Of the Senate on impeachment No
doubt Grant and Ross settled amicably together
over glass of brandy and water and a box of
cigars the way Ross's vote was to be cast
Why, then, should Miss Winnie Ream with all
her potential capabilities of rivalling a Praxi-
| teles or Canova, he victimized2

Another veto-Ouick Work.

The President sent in his veto yester-
day against the so-called Omnibus bill,
providing for the restoration to Congress
of the States of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Louisiana
The bill was at once passed over his objec-
tions-in the House 105 to 30, in the Sen
ate 35 to 8. Thus, including Tennessee and
Arkansas, eight of the late eleven rebel States
are reconstructed and restored. The two last
named are fully represented in both houses,
and the other three probably will be before the
Fourth of July or shortly thereafter. With
the admission of their members will come the
proclamation from Congress, if necessary, Of
the ratification of the amendment making ar
ticle fourteen of the amendments of the con-
stitution, which will give the question Of suf-
frage to the States, with the condition that
suffrage and representation shall go together.
Accordingly the suffrage question and the re-
construction question may be considered
settled; for doubtless Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas will yet be brought in under this Con-
gress, and that will finish the work 80 far as
Congress is concerned. This is an important
matter for the Democratic Convention.

No TINKERrNG OF THE FINANCES THIS SEs-
sIoN.-Our advices from the capital indicate
that the Ways and Means Committee have de-
cided that it is inexpedent for Congress to take
any action this session upon the numerous
financial propositions which have been pre-
sented for their consideration This is q wise
determination, and will afford some relief to
the country at large As our present Congress
appears utterly incompetent, as we have re-
peatedly asserted, to grappe with the great
financial question of the day, II is much better
to leave II as it now stands than by q process
Of tinkering involve the country in greater
financial disorder than now exists. All Of the
schemes now before the committee are projects
we are assured for the enrichment Of national
banks and certain individual bankers The
public have been sufficiently imposed upon by
both classes ofleeches upon the national Trea-
sury and have no desire to undergo another
process of bloodletting. The best thing that
this Congress can do with our finances is TO
''let them alone severely" and by SO doing
give the people chance to elect body Of
men to the Forty-6rst Congress who can compe-
tently and successfully treat the subject.

The Protest Against Arknnsas-Brooks and

the Democrats.
The crime of the radical party has been
that it kept the Southern States out of
Congress-out of the Union-and so pre-
vented the restoration of the country to nor
NAL condition. With great pretence of patri-
otc purpose II constantly cheated the nation
of the one thing that should have been first
done by any truly patriotic party, and still
put further and further away the time when
the States should stand side by side as equal
sovereign powers. The position of the demo-
cratic party was that it opposed this disunion
policy of the radicals and urged constantly
the giving all their rights to the Southern peo-
pie. This gave the democrats strength before
the country for the nation has already for
given the Southern States their great error,
and earnestly wishes to see all the uncer-
tainties of our future cleared up in the re-es-
tablishment of the authority of civil law
everywhere. But now, suddenly, the demo-
Gratis turn up as the opponents of an immediate
return of the Southern States, and formally
deliver in Congress their protest against the
admission of Representatives from Arkansas
They protest against what the whole nation
desires-protest against the fact Of prime ne
cessity to the national welfare simply be-
cause they do not like the manner of its &C
complishment, and because II is done by the
party that il is their especial business to oppose
Small partsans to the last, they cannot see a
great principle. They will not have done even
| the thing they want If II is to be done in any
other way than that they may define. They
oppose the bad acts of the radicals with some
persistency, but they seem to reserve their
greater force for the occasion when the radi-
calls propose to do what must certainly benefit
| the whole country, and are determined that
their opponents shall not do good thing Il
they can help it--shall not do that which
abounds in the greatest promise Of any re-
cent act of legislation because there goes
with it pitiful little threat Of possible evil

bic evil, and in this pessimist temper, in pur.

THE IRISH CHURCH BILL IN THE HOUSE OF
LoRDs.-The Irish Church Appointments Sus-
pensory bill was called to a second reading in
the English House of Lords last night. Lord
Granville moved the measure, repeating the
arguments used by Mr.. Gladstone and his
supporters in the House of Commons, and
an animated, exciting debate ensued. The
High Church and spiritual peers, with a
few Of the Grey reform wings, opposed
the bill as anti-Englsh, ill-timed and
unnecessary. The debate was adjourned at an
early hour this morning. Our cable report of
the first nights arguments renders it quite evil
dent that the great battle which will decide the
fate of the Irish Establishment, and mayhap
that Of the Disraeli Cabinet, will really be
fought in the aristocratic branch of the British
legislature-a very bold undertaking for the
peers, particularly in the present tone of the
political temper of the English people.

The whiskey "ring" has recently ac-
quired some new devices for escaping
the so-oalled vigilance of the officers.
Alcohol is being imported into Chicago
from New York in tin cans holding from
five to ten gallons each. These are built
almost square, and fitted closely in a
packing box. The entire package i.
then shipped as hardware. Another
way is to make "slack" casks, into
which whiskey barrel will snugly fit.
The inner barrel is filed with alcohol
then placed in the "cask," and the pack.
age marked ''cutlery" or "hinges."
This contrabaud alcohol is selling at So
to 1925 per gallon, which illicit man.
ufacturers in that neighborhood can't af
ford to take. Hence the local business
in alcohol is exceedingly limited. The
''ring" and the revenue officers should
come to an understanding. The latter
ought not to ask more than their breth

THE NAVAL ScHOoL--The school year
at the Naval Academy closed on Thursday,
with class numbering 80. The farewell adj
dress of the students was made by Lieutenant
Governor Scott, of Iowa, one Of the board of
visitors. The School fleet sailed on Saturday,
with three-fourths of the midshipmen. They
go first to West Point and then to Madeira.
The report of the board of visitors to the
naval school will severely deprecate the res
toration during the past year, by President
Johnson, of number of midshipmcn who
had been dismissed for misconduct.
