WHITE LABOR.
A Convention of the White Labor
Unions of the District Of Columbia
and Maryland, is to meet here on the
18th proximo, TO be in session several
DAYS. Great preparations are being
made by the local unions to meet and
entertain their brethren from outside.
Among other important matters to be
considered by the Convention win be
the organization Of a " Mechanics
State Council"
FlgNIANs ON THE WAR-PATH.
The Irish are undoubtedly the m0v-
ing cause Of much Of the political eX-
element that exists on both sides Of
the Atlantic. Taking courage from
the Fenian victories in ireland, the
brethren who wear the green in the
United states have organized another
Canadian expedition, to be command
ed by the intrepid Gen. O'Neil. Par
tfcuIars cannot be had, as the Fenian
leaders have at last learned TO keep
their own council.
REMOVALS.
The President has decided to re-
move the following officers Of Wash
ington Territory, u2mely: Governor
Flanders, Chief Justice pennison, Col
Iector Of Customs Wilson, ana United
States Marshal Ritz, because they
would not support a Radical ticket IN
the territory, the personnel o. which
was to the last degree obnoxious TO
the people. Does this prove that
t-ranti Is running the government ma
chine in the interest Of the party? We
think so.
STANTON
has been assured of a position on the
Supreme bench by the President, the
Z-ice-PresiGent, all the Republican
Senators but three, and many mem
bers Of the House. The case Of Ycr-
ger and the Texas prisoners Is now
hspeless. The murderer Of Mrs. Sur
raft. who believes in military courts,
viii readily fall in with the views Of
the Radical party, and refuse the pro-
lection Of the habeas corpus TO citizens
suffering the injustice of military per-
seeuti0n in the South. Hoar and
Stanton can be relied upon by the
Radical majority. The Supreme Court
viii now be organized to convict.
TENNESSEE.
Fowler liz the Senate and Hawkins
in the House, yere the only members
Of the Tennessee delegation in Con-
gress who refused their signatures to
the protest against our late election,
which was read ia the House on Fri
dav. and has been committed to the
proper committee. Stokes, who par
ticipated in the election, who acQui-
esc,d in il so far as to contend with
Senter Eor the gubernatorial chair, in
presenting this protest, made himself
pardcuiarly conspicuous in his advo-
cacv Of an immediate reorganization
Of Tennessee after the manner OF
Georgia. Maynard seconded him,
and all the little dogs followed, bark
ing and snarling in their own familiar
way. Tennessee RadicaIism hath this
extent, no more.
GRANTS REASONS.
The President says he desires to re-
move Impeacher Ashley because he
was never satisfied Of his titBess for
the position Of Governor Of Montana;
because Of his Dear Case" letters;
because he made a speech referring in
a patronizing way to the iBjUdiciOus
appointments Of the administration;
and lastly, but principally, (if not al
together, because ne said, in a recent
speech to the Democratic miners Of
Montana, that he was willing to rep
resent them on the everlasting nigger
question, aud fight until the white
man buried that obnoxious individual
beyond any possible resurrection.
The first two "becauses' were known
to Grant when be appointed Ashley,
vet he had him confirmed. Of course
Hey did not operate against the man
who with "Dear Case" desired to
operate in Montana lots. The "nig-
ger" was the straw that broke the
camel's back.
BULLY WILSON'S BILL

tracts made in foreign countries for

them before they become citizens OF
the United States engaging their labor
at less than the customary rate for the
same kind Of labor in the most IA
vored parts of the United States, Is
meeting with opposition from unex-
pected quarters. Intended to operate
"a a preventive against the employ.
neut by the South Of Chinese labor
ers. IT viii conflict with the plans and
uuruoses Of the New England manu-
fictrrers, who have for years beer
making contracts with English mil
hands. the enforcement Of which ha:
made them rich beyond any prece
dent in the world. The Natick cob
bier viii have TO withdraw his bill
and allow the South to enjoy and EN-
uIov Chinese labor if she will.
