A PLOT is now on foot in Washington to
extend the Freedmen'i Bureau under the
speeious name of the Educational Bureau.
It's purpose is plainly seen to be to drill the
negroes into compact party organizations IN
order to bring them up to the polls en- mdsse
TO vote the Radical ticket and it can easily
be understood how the execution of this
programme will not only cost millions upon
millions of public money, but do more than
any one thing now possible to revive and
embitter all the past troubles of reconstruc-
ton and SOW the seeds of no end of future
strife. Already the people of the United
States have given the negro liberty, equality
before the law, and an opportunity to show
whether be is fit for ths ballot: and it is too
much to ask. after the enormous expendi-
lures involved in these benetactions, that
they should now be bled afresh in order to
give him an education, which will really be
no education, but merely partisan training
of him TO the polls. The question, We
repeat distinctly, is a revivication and ex
tension of the Freedmen's Bureau; and
against the extravaganza, corruption, and
anarchy involved the press throughout the
country and all right feeling members il
Congress should at once protest

have often been asked where the ad min
is.rstion is drifting, and whether congress
and the presiden. are not becoming estrang-
ed. To the first question l answer frankly,
that | do not know; but fear that, as par
~, the republicans are drifting to division
aud defeat. To the second question l am
compelled to say that there is bnt little cor
olaiity between congress and the president.
NO observer could have mingled with Wash.
!ngtOn society this winter without becoming
painfully aware that the administration is
fast drifting toward breakers which, if
encountered, will prove fatal to the unity of
the republican party. | say this with regret
Gen. Grants mistakes have been many; bnt
his greatest mistake was in attempting to
administer the government as he had direct
ed and governed the army. He has been
surrounded from the first by weak, inexperi
enUed, and incompetent men. He did not
seek nor would he listen to the
advice of leading statesmen. HIS
cabinet as first organized would never have
been selected by any statesman qualified for
ihe presidential office. He has not, with
perhaps single exception, one man in his
cabinet 70 day, who could, at the time Of his
nomination, have received the endorsement
oi the republican party of his state for any
position ne holds while some Of that mum
ber-tlsh, Borie and Robson, for examnle
would hardly have commanded the support
OF one hundred republicans in their respec
tive states. If this statement be adm;t,ed
the weakness of the administration ia a VOC
ognized fact. No party can maintain ;ts
sscendancy which ignores its representative
men, and calls to its highest and most hon
orable positions men whom it never recop
nized as worthy of its confidence, or who.
if worthy of confidence, were incapacitated
for leaders.
In all our new territories, q policy has
been pursued which can only end in securing
their admission into the Union as democrat
ic states. Appointments and removals are
made without consulting Governors, aut
there are but one or two territories in which
the federal officials are not at open war with
each other, representing cliques rather thar
the party.--Wash. Cores. N. 7. Sun.

ANNUAL MEETING.


The annual meeting Of the New-Jersey Rail-

The FOLLOWING named gentlemen were unanimously
elected officers for the ensuing year:

Suydam, George r. ChetwO0d, Alfred L. Dennis, Isaac
W. Scudder Martin A. Howell, Nehemiah Perry.
A Committee of five appointed to consider the
feasibility Of closer consolidation between the several
companies already consolidated.
AT present, each Company has its own officers. The
Companies merely club profits and divide them pro rata
Directors of the consolidated Company. .
1t il proposed TO have the several Companies controlled
by a single set or officers.
Mr.. Black believed that unqualified consolidation
would increase the dividends from 10 tO Is per cent
Mr.. Martin Howell favored the project The large
amount OF business transacted by the Companies would
require the establishment departments with response
BILE heads, but they should all be subject TO general
control. The Companies were at present consolidated
in law than in practice He thought that the result
Of the movement would be leSS profit but more STOCK
Mr.. Dudley 5. Gregory said that the movement
should not be indOrsed by the Companies without
due consideration. He was opposed to the
Ashbel Wclch President Of the Consolidated Companies,

the Companies during the past year He said that the
consolidation hal been Effected Jan l. 1907. since that
