GOOD NEWS.

We learn from the Chicago Times that
there is a prospect that the freedmen's
bureau will be brought TO an end, and its
funds, amounting to about a million Of
dollars, be transferred to the bureau
Of education. It is proposed that the
money shall be expended in maintaining
common schools in the Southern States
for the benefit of negro children, 1t is a
matter of curiosity TO old Bourbons to
know where Congress gets authority TO
appropriate money for the education Of
children, black or white. No one but a
superannuated old Bourbon would question
the authority of Congress to do whatever
it felt inclined TO do.
As for the bureau, men of all parties
who despise corruption and plundering
will be glad that the foul and rotten thing
is TO meet its death. It was established
as q political machine, and 10 multiply
offices. The armies in the South could
have attended to the distribution Of Ia
tons and clothing among the destitute.
1t had nothing else TO DO.
The agents Of the bureau were the men
who organized the negroes into secret
oath-bound political societies, and sowcd
distrust between the blacks andthe former
masters. The carpet aggers commanded
the bureau and its workings. Three
fourths Of the money expended by the
concern was TO establish carPct-baggers in
power. Thousands of negroes were fed
in every State who were able to take care
of themselves, in order to secure their

CONGRESS- AND THE LEGAL TEN
DER DECISION.

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in relation to
the legal tender act, is being made the
prctext in Washington for placing that
tribunal in strict subserviency to Con-
gress. It is admitted on all sides that,
practically, the "decision" win have little
if any, effect. Yet, under these circum-
stances, the country is grayely and, by
authority, told that the judgment must be
reversed. And howe The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette
calls attention TO the fact that
Il is stated in Washington, in jour
nal careful of its words, on the authority
Of Senators, that the President has de-
clared that no man shall be put in the va

that from that day he has been we'll
disposed and good citizen, and that he
prays that his rights be restored to him.
This petition is to be sworn to in open
court, and is to be publicly advertised
thirty days, at the end of which time any
person may appear and oppose such petit
ton; but if there be no opposition, the
Judge can issue certificate to the petit
toner, whereupon his disabilities shall be
removed. If there be sufficient evidence
showing why the certificate should not be
granted, then the petitioner is forever de-
barred from relief except by a special act
of Congress- Nothing in the act is to be
construed to restore any rights of proper
ty heretofore lost or forfeited by any cid-
zen, or to allow any claim on Congress for
the same"
The tile of this bill should be, an
act to enable persons laboring under po-
litical disabilities to publicly disgrace
themselves II is stated that when the
bill is reported, Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky,
will move to strike out the exceptions OF
army and navy officers and members OF
the Confederate Congress, and that Gen.
Farnsworth, Republican member, will
move as a substitute that all political dis
abilities OF the citizens of all States whose
Legislatures have ratified the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments be removed.

TO test 10 the utmost tue forbearance Of
the people2 Is it not enough that Con-
gress threatens the Court, on the one hand,
to destroy its functions, and, on the other,
by increasing the number of judges, to
subsidies its Judgments Is the country
to be now Informed that the whole juris
prudence, SO far as 1t depends
upon the judicial decision of the
Supreme Court, is to be submitted to
unscrupulous partisan Reconstruction"
In the vehement efforts of the Washing
ton Chronicle to get Judge Strong con-
firmed, this point is distinctly made, and
his decision or ipSe dat while on the
Supreme Bench IN Pennsylvania quoted
in proof of his willingness to upset the
decision Just made. Indeed, it is "upon
authority" announced that both he and
Mr.. Bradley have ''pledged" themselves
Kin advance to Gen. Grant, notonly upon
this, but other specific points of law, long
since thought to be well settled. 1t is,
therefore, no longer question, says the
| Gdzette's correspondent whether the
Supreme Court is hereafterto act as a con-
seryatiye obstacle to the encroaehments
of Federal authority. The thing is plain
that it is to be used as an engine OF
further oppression, and as a means OF
wholesale peculation! Such revelation
ought to convulse the country-but will

Judge of the Supreme Court would
pledge himself Sin advance" upon a par
ticular point, sure to come before him Tor

pointment,) is sufficiently alarming. But
what is the country to anticipate as to its
liberties, or the people as to their property
or personal safety, when the purpose to
exact such ''pledges' is openly avowed
We all know what sort of Judge JET
fries was. But history excuses King
James of demanding previous ''pledge"
of his judicial brutality as the incentive
for his employment. Let the people pom

Removal OF DisABrLETEEs.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes, Feb. Il, as
follows:
sThe movement toward a general am
nesty on the part of Congress has at last
assumed a positive shape. This morning
the Reconstruction Committee directed
Butler to report to the House a
bill by which Congress transfers
The greater portion of the pardon
inr mower to the United States
District Court. 1t provides that
every citizen DISTINGUISHED by the third
section of the fourteenth amendment, per
sons who have had commissions in the
army or navy, or have been members OF
CONGRESS, of the Confederate States, shall
be restored to all the rights of citizenship
on applying, by petition, to such acOurt,
in any State or territory in which he had
his home during the war, setting forth
what office he ever held under the United
States prior to April /, 1861, which by
law required any oath to support the Con
stitution; and also, in what manner
he had given aid or assistance to
tbe rebellion, or whether he had
held any Office under a State or Confcd-
erate Government, or either of them, dur
ing any part of the war, giving Particu-
lar description of the acts done and Offices
or plaoes held by them in that behalf, and
that therein and thereby he renounces all
allegiance or fealty to any supposed gov
eminent heretofore set up against the
United States within the same, that
he truly intends hereafter to act and
conduct himself as true and loyal
citizen, and viii bear true faith
and allegiance to the Governments; that he
has not done since June l, 1865, any
act of hostility to the United States, or
committed any crime by violence against
the laws thereof or against the laws of
any State; and that b. has not endeayored
since that time by force and fraud, to in
terfere with the civil rights of any
citizen, or 10 prevent the free

cEnRCTA sENATORs.

The so-called Legislature Of Georgia
elected United States Senator'S on the 10th
inst. The Democratic members refused
to participate in the election on the ground
that it was illegal and unauthorized by the
act Of Congress reconstructing the State
of Georgia. THE Senators elected are
Foster Blodgett, for the term expiring
March 3, 1877; Henry P. Farrow, for the
term expiring March 3, 1873; and Rich
ard II. Whitley, for the term expiring
March 8, 1871. 1t is remarkable that
both Blodgett and Farrow are renegade
Rebels. of Whitley we know nothing, but
unless he is an original Union man, the men
of that class have been completely ignored
in this election. Now comes the fight as
to who shall be admitted as Senators from
Georgia. The Atlanta Constitution pub
fishes the following dispatch:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribune, tele.
graphs that the Judiciary Committee OF
the Senate will report in favor of seating
Hill and Miller. Information from re
liable source confirms this tonight, we
hear that their commissions were called
for bv the committee. Mr.. Alderman IS
here. and defends Hills and MIlcr's right
to seats. j. BoWLEs'

Chief Justice Brown and other Georgia
Republicans are in Washington laboring

and Miller. The following is special
dispatch to the Augusta Chronicle and
| Sentinel.
WAsuIxaToy, Feb. 14-The Senate
Judiciary Committee having finished It's
examination into the affairs of Georgia is
ready to report upon the subject and VIII
| probably do so tomorrow morning.
| There can be little doubt but that the
| committee will report bill which VIII
| nrovide for the immediate admission OF
| Georgia into the Union without any
farther conditions being imposed as
in the case of Virginia. 1t is also
confidently stated that majority OF
the committee will report in favor
of the legality of the election Of Senators
Mill and Miller, and will recommend that
they be allowed to take their seats in the
Senate. There is a difference Of opinion
| as to what course the Senate will pursue
in this latter matter. Some outside state,
ments say that the old election will be
allowed TO stand, while others think thai
a new deal will be required.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial telegraphs, Feb.
Il, as follows:
''The Senate Judiciary Committee have
before them the credentials of Hill and
| Miller. Gov. Bullock's certificate Is
dated Sept 10, 1868, and certities that
| Hill and Miller have been elected in pur-
suance of the Constitution and the recon
struction acts. They were elected on
| July %, previous, and the negro members
| of the Legislature were expelled Sept. ).
| In the memorial of the negro members,
| it is reciled that Hill and Miller were
elected. but their election will be illegal
| unless the expelled negro members shall
be seated. They have been seated since,
and it Is held that Hill and Miller are,
therefore, entitled to their seats IL the
| Senate"

ONE Of Bullock's creatures, called
Sessions, who presides as Judge in the
Brunswick circuit, in Georgia, discharged
a notorious criminal on straw bail or some
thing worse, whereupon the grand jury of

twenty-five dollars and Imprisonment I'M
