Savartnah tyews.and Herald. BY S. W. MASON. »A9IDSI< W. MASON......... Editor, \V. 1'. THOMPSON, Associate Editor. Official Paper of the City. largest circulation in thesity and county TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1806. THE DEAD DUCK AUAHMED. Since the President tramped on Forney, that defunct fowl seems to have lost his self- possession and is the victim of perpetua 1 alarms. He is in favor of keeping Congress in session until the fourth of March, 18G7, as the only means of prolonging the existence of “the government,” or what is the same thing to him, the power of the radical faction, in whose service he lives, moves and has his being. He says: “It is clear that the moment an adjournment takes place there will not bo an earnest Union man left in office. One of Johnson - * pleas is that he only turns those out who oppose him—a plea illustrated by the fact that ha is every day removing the best men to make room for tho worst. His 7th-ol-April circular in favor of soldiers is constantly violated. Moat of hla recent appointments have been conferred upon politicians. If Congress remains in session until tho 4th of March next it will he short commons for the hosts who are waiting to be paid for association with the Copper heads and abuse of their old friends. The expectation of such a decision on the part^of the two bouses does not aecin to arrest Johnson in bis career. It ie noto rious that within a few days meetings have been held in the White House, at which the propriety of a gen eral official massacre of the radicals has been dis cussed.” Tlmt the Dead Duck should be sorely ex ercised under Buch circumstances is not at all surprising. When not only “short com mons'’ are iu storo as a.reward for treachery and the “abuse of old Iriends,” but a general ‘'•massacre of radicals" is Imminent, it is not wonderful that the editor of the Chronicle is despondent. A DIFFERENCE WITH AUSTRIA. In a portion of Mr. Johnson's remarks in the Senate on the amendment to the Post Office appropriation, which appears in ano ther part of our paper, he said, “If the in structions given by the Secretary of State to our Minister to Austria are carried out the result will he war between this country and Austria." With the nature of these in structions the countrj' is not informed, as lar as we know. Mr. Johnson, as a member of the Senate, an adviser of the President in relation to our foreign affairs, may be iu possession of information with which the public is unacquainted, and we are left to conjecture as to the character of “ the in structions given by the Secretary of State to our Minister to Austria, that if carried out the result will be war between this country and Austria.” The only rational supposi tion of which the case admits, is that Aus tria in furnishing troops to Maximilian is acting in violation of her neutral obligations. Whether this constitutes a casus belli would seem to be very doubtful. The question of expediency would naturally blend itself with the question of war with Austria. This power has no commerce, scarcely, and no colonies. She is not consequently assailable by us, unless we were to attack her territory in Europe, which would be quixotic, while she can and would cover the ocean with privateers, by which she could inflict im mense damage on our wider-spread com merce “The Child’s Delioht.”—This is the title of a charming little Sunday - School paper for children, edited and published by Rev. S. Boykin, of Macon, Ga. It is handsomely printed and illustrated with a number of pretty pictures, and in externals, as well as iu the reading matter will compare favorably with any of the Northern publications of a similar character. It is tilled with interest ing and instructive sketches, stories, poetry, enigmas.Bible questions, Sunday-School cor respondence, etc., calculated to delight and improve the juvenile mind. “The Child’s Delight” will go far towards supplying a want that has been painfully felt among our Sunday School teachers and others interested in their good work. The price of subscrip tion i9 one dollar a year, with liberal reduc tions when more than ten copies are taken. The Burning of Columbia.—As our read- eis are awaie, a question as to who is re sponsible for the burning of Columbia, 8. C., has been raised, General Sherman having as serted that the city was burned by the Con federates and not by the Federal troops. On Tuesday last, in the Senate, Hon. Eeverdy Johnson read a portion of a lei ter from Gen. Wade Hamptonoa the subject, controverting the statement recently published by General Sherman, that Columbia was burned by his (Hampton's) orders, and asking for the ap pointment of a special committee of Con gress to investigate the subject. General Hampton says his State is debarred from representation, and has no one to impose the taxes which she is called upon to pay; none to vindicate her or her sons from misrepre sentation, injustice and slander, and he asks Mr. Johnson to see that justice be done in this matter. LITERARY. Nfw York Weeki.t Magazine. —The May number of this miscellany oontains the usual quantity ol' in- eirucqve and entertaining selections from the Eu ropean journals, such as Chamber's Journal, Dickens, Ac., together with a variety of original matter, con sisting of tales, sketches of travel, biographies, short popular essays on scientific subjects, Ac. A magazine on this plan is an acoesaion to our periodical literature as it embraces, in addition to original articles, such selections from foreign monthlies as are attractive from the merit of their authors, and readable from their brevity.

By this act, nine tenths of the white population of this gallant and misrepresented State are disfranchised. REMOVALS AND APPOINTMENTS. As one of the modes of checking the Pres ident in his power of removing from office incumbents who are inimical t» his policy, Mr. Trumbull, as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, has introduced an amendment to the bill making appropriations for the Mjppoi t of the Post Office Department for tho eusuing year, as follows : “ No person exercising or performing the duties of any offic.-, which by law is required to be filled by the advice Aud consent of the Senate, shall, before con- firinacion by the Senate, receive any aalary or compen sation for liie services, unless he be commissioned by the President to fill up a vacancy which has, during the recess of the Senate, and since iu last adjourn ment, happened by death, resignation, or expiration of term." Sir. Johnson opposed it as an infringement of the appointing power of the President. He said, very truly • “ Thatadmitting the power of Congress to refuse to pay an officer, it was questionable whether there was r^T^W 0 ' 101 * 0 ' The precedent about to be established might be a bad one, and might return to piague the inventor; It might happen that those now rattie minority might obtain a majority in Congress, while the other party had a President elected. Con gress might then refuse to pay the President's Mh poratces.” ” . german said “he believed Congress had the ngnt to limit the powe£ of the Kruiileut to appoint. It exercised that power In 1868 In the bill Greeting the office of Comptroller of the Currency. The pending proposition waa, howerer, very harsh, and he would hesitate before Riving his assent to it. If the Chair man ot the Judiciary Committee would report a bill to regulate the subject of removals and appointments, he would support it if it was judiciously framed. There was a jealousy—he would not say a war—be tween Congress and the Tresident; and lie knew of no time better than the present for regulating the sub ject of removals and appointment* by pup sing a wise and Just law on the subject. It ought not to pass iu in this informal way, as an amendment to an appro priation bill. Ho did not believe it wise to declare that an officer legally appointed should receive no pay unless hia appointment waa agreed to by the Senate." Mr. Henderson aaid “he had partially proposed a bill of the nature referred to by Mr. Sherman. He had come to the conclusion that the President bsd no con stitutional power to remove any one from office. Washington in eight years removed but four from office, Adams ten, Jefferson eight, Madison eight, Monroe nine, John Adams four, Gren. Jackson re moved two hundred and thirty during the first year, and after that some four or five thousand. Since Jackson’s time the habit of removing has been mucb more frequent than before. He did not know that President Johnson would undertake to remove from office to any groat extent. But if he (Mr. Henderson) was in his place, and the same differences existed be tween him and Congress that now exist between Con gress and Mr. Johnson, he would use all the power he had. He believed that until it was taken away from him, Mr. Johnson would be Justified in using his ap pointing power to can y out what he calls “jny policy." Mr. Henderson referred to the fact that a western newspaper had advised the President to march troops into the Capital and drive the Senate out; and also that Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, had said that if the Southern .Senators come here and joined the minor ity in the Senate, it would be for- the President to say which was the legal Senate." The question of the right of removal from office has been discussed at various periods of t.ur history since the adoption of the con stitution ■ The constitutional right has never been questioned. It may be exercised for parly ends. The right of removal is a neces sary exercise of executive power, to render that power efficient- ff the advantages and evils are weighed against each other, there can be little doubt on which side the balance would incline. The non-exercise or imperfect exercise of Executive authority is a far greater evil than the occasional removal from office for party purposes. General Jackson’s dismissal of Mr. Duane from the poet of Secretary of the Treasury because he would not remove the public deposits from the Bank of the United States, was no doubt an abuse of the porfer of removal. This was an extreme case. Such an exercise of Ex ecutive power had not occurred since the organization of the Government. But. on the other baud, suppose Mr. Duane had re fused to obey any other order of the Presi dent of unequivocal constiutional and legal obligation, how would the Executive func tions be performed under such a construction ot the laws? How could that portion ol Executive duty be performed which makes it iucumheut on the President to see the laws executed? Unless the subordinate who re fuses to obey the mandate of his superior is removed, and another ia appointed in hia place, the Executive funotiona muat be im perfectly performed. Would Congreaa be in the exerciae of ita legitimate powers by omitting to include, in the appropriations, the payment of the salary of an officer appointed under such circum stances ? Such an omission would be nuga tory in fact. If the Secretary of the Trea sury were to refuse to obey an order of the President to pay an officer of the govern ment his salary, the President would have the undoubted right to dismiss him atid ap point another who would obey his order. It is not by tacking a proviso to an appropria tion act that such an evil, if evil it be, can be reached. It can be cured by nothing less than an amendment to the Constitution. Mr. Sherman observed, “that the pending proposition was harsh.” It was worse. It was a pitiful display of party spleen. He remarked, “that he would support a bill on the subject of removals and appointments if it were judiciously framed.” If he meant by judiciously” constitutionally, we should like to know how thifi could be done with out, as Mr. JohuBon expressed, its being “an infringement of the appointing power of the President.” It is yet to be decided, whether Congress was in the constitutional “exercise of right to limit the power of the President to appoint when it exercised that right in 18G3, in the bill creating the office of Comp troller of Currency,” as implied by Mr. Sher man. On the whole, this left handed attempt to control the President, and thus abridge his legitimate prerogative to displace from office those who refuse to aid him in carrying out a policy that he deems essential to the good government of.the cotmtiy, and appoint others who will not counteract that policy, only shows the animus of the party who would engross the powers of the government for the next four years. It will not succeed. Infamous Behavior of Negro Troops. The following {sets are furnished by one of the conductors of the Memphis end Charleston Bailrosd, (Mr. Fowler) who obtained them from another con ductor (Mr. Tighe) who was himself an eye witness of wbst is here related: LMt Thursday week (April 19th) About 150 negro troops were transported over the Memphis and Charleston Railroad from Tuscuuibia to Huntsville Before starting many of these colored soldiers loaded up their guns, and, on the way were constantly amus ing themselves by firing from the windows of the cars unchecked by their white officers, at any whim people that might come within range of their vision. They deliberately fired at a man ploughing in the fields, be tween Courtland and Decatur, but fortunately missed him. But it was at Leighton, s flat station, a few miles west ol Conrtland, ihat they perpetrated their greatest enormity—one of those now oft recurring out- rsges which are so well calculated to sat on lire the passions of Southern men and make them perfectly ruthless in their hatred toward, not only the criminal negroes, but also tho bad whits man who have delu ded the blacks into the belief that they are now the ruling race, and that vengeance la a duty. At Leighton, one of these black devils saw a lady— Mrs. Osborne King—standing on the balcony of her residence, with her infant child in her arms, abont one hundred and fifty or two hundred yards from the moving tram; whereupon, he raised hie gun, and pointing it through one of the windows ot the car, took deliberate aim at the lady, and fired. The ball struck Mrs. King’s thumb, tearing off the nail, passing on through the clothing of the child, and lodged in the fleshy part of the lady’s arm, inflicting a severe and most pslnful wound. After the perpe tration of this hellish enormity L a negro sergeant, who was present in the same car, was heard to approve the deed, and cried oat: “Keep on Shooting boys, If you want to; don't shoot at anybody in particular— but keep on shooting. 'Twon’t make any difference if you do kill a few of the damn aecesh.” The white officers on the train, of course, heard the shooting which was going on, at intervals, ail th# way from Tusoumbia to Snntsville, but they made not the least effort to put a stop to it; on the contrary, they seemed to enjoy the sport. Now, wa would like to ask General Thomas, and General Kverybodyelae, who has authority in this country, how iong this sort of thing is to continue un- whipt of justice? Ia Gen. Thomas one of those radi cals with shouiderstraps, who, like Gen. Fisk, thinks there ia no oppressive treatment that can be too cruel for the Southern people ? The above statement is, no doub t, in the main cor rect, as the same negro troops are known to have fired a volley into the oity of Huntsville as they were leaving that placa in the train; but we are reluctant to bolieve that their conduot, above reported, was either sanctioned or “enjoyed" by their white officers, one of whom, it will be remembered, chastised those who fired on Huntsville severely with his sword. It is not wonderful that auch troops are controled with dif ficulty by their officers. Washington News. AMNESTY PARDONS GRANTED. New York, May 4.—The Times* Washington specie^ says: The President is now preparing an answer to a resolution of the House, requiring a statement of the number and names of all who have 'been granted amnesty pardons, and a particular statement ot all the confiscated property that is restored to original own ers. The value of the property is not stated, but it learns that the number of pardons is something over 7,000, and with but few exceptions the persons par doned were private citizen*. JEFF DAVIS’ TRIAL. The World’s Washington special says: Judge Under wood, who is now here, states that the grand jury which meets at Norfolk on Monday next, will bring in a trial bill against Jeff Davis for treason. This is the just step. As soon, therefore, as the House Judiciary Committee have acted upon the subject, which wiil probably be within the next sixteen days, the Govern ment will be ready to proceed with his trial, provided Congress throws no obstructions in the way. The com mittee, however, are trying very. hard to make out a case which will warrant them in recommending his trial before a military commission. In this they will fail, for the President does not intend to have him or any other person connected with the rebellion tried in any other way than before a sivil tribunal. [From the Hartford Times, May 2d.] Fall of a Five Story Building In Hait- ford. Conn. At two o'clock last night, or rather this morniu" during • furious Northsast rain-storm, which came down In flood*, the entire north wall of the lofty brick structure on Trumbull street, below Peer!, known ue the Oity Bindery, fell out with a tremendous crash, carrying with It the contents of all the north roams— book presses, machinery, windows, root, and ths Urn bsr* of the different stories. The whole was one vast pile of rains, presenting this morning a scone of oon- fualon worse confounded. Csss, Lockwood St Co. were digging deep for t foundation and a cellar for a new brick edifice to )ie erected In close connection with the City Bindery. In the progress of this excavation the workman had gone close up to the north wail of the City Bindery building, and then dug down to a considerable depth below the level of its foundation stones. It is sa’d they dug six feet below these stones. This was a dan gerous condition of things, and very unsafe iu case of rain. The rain came, and the slippery clay, thus weakened, was unable to hold up the foundations with their immense superincumbent, weight. It is an almost providential circumstance that the crash came at night. About three hundred hands male and female, are employed inf tho building; and had the fall ooourrsd In the day time a fearful Joss or life would have been the result. By Telegraph. LATER FROM EUROPE.

MURPIIT, Paint Shop, corner Bull and Bryan street. Cave Johnson, formerly for years in Congress, 1 hen Poetmar.tei -General, was recently chosen to the Tennessee Senate from the district composed of Rob ertson, Montgomery, and Stewart Counties. On at tempting to take his Jeat, April 26, ha wa* objected to as a traitor, and the Senate, by a vote of 12 to 7 voted that lie couldn't come in. The Nashville Gazette learns that the proceedings <f the Senate in excluding i$oq. Cave Johnson, have been ordered to be expunged from the journal of that body. Tbe editor remarks ; Well, if men cannot re frain from doing mean things, it is something ia their favor to be ashamed of such conduct From «>«« ad vance toward* virtu* we should judge there are men in the Senate who, if they should continue to improve lor a hundred years, might become lit to be on a jury. ChaSOX THI Cabikst—President Johnson, says the New York Herald, is beginning hta reconstruction of the Republican party at the wrong end! It i* all vary well to remove radical postmasters and Chase revenue officers; bat three changes will be unimportant un less they are accompanied by the removal of th* radi cal members of tbe Cabinet. The way to kiU.th* hy dra of Northern rebellion is to chop off ite heads, in stead of wasting time in trimming off the little end of ita tail. Rxxuamo to Bonx Taxi* Own Dead;—The Freed man's Bureau for the District of Weet Tennessee has given notice to the city suthorJUae of M.» r Ki. that the Bureau will no longer relieve, the oity from ths responsibility of burying Its on colored peanera - The unfortunate negro who te old otimmtm,,^ a’ises tbe meaning of th* President's words, -the colored people will soon find out who are their reel fofonds." Financial.—In the absence of specie, financiers in North Carolina are agitating the question of a real estate bank. It is proposed that* charter -h°n be se cured from the State Convention for a “Land Loan Company," with a stock of from ten to twenty mil lions ofijgllars, founded on real estate estimated at gold value. The Newburn and Raleigh paper, unite in approving the scheme. The success of the French assignats, issued upon a real aetata baais of credit, was not such as to commend the system very highly. Colored Mas Excluded non Boston Theatres —The theatrical managers in Boston have combined to keep colored people out of the places of amusement, notwithstanding the recant law on the subject. As only a nominal fine ia impoaed for breaking the law, and their licenses are not affected by the exclusion, they think they can successfully resist the law. Fen Pictures of Jefferson Davit by a Master Artist. Below ia a pen picture,of th* greet “rebel chief;'' which all who read it will say is drawn with th* touch of a master: / “He (Jeff.) was a close student, a chtvalrlc opponent, a steadiest friend, a gentleman in all his relations, and in his own family singularly kind and genial. Al though undoubtedly th* head and heart of the South ern rebellion, he want into it reluctantly, aa all who heard hia last speech in th* Senate will remember, * ben, with broken accent tearful eyes he bade farewell at once to that body and to all true greatness Jefferson Davis wss blessed with many accomplish ments. He was alike a soldier and a statesman. No public man of my acquaintance was mace devoted to scientific pursuits, and mac* femihar with the abstruse teachings of political philosophy. No branch of hu man knowledge seemed to be unworthy of his investi gations.” The above is certainly find—anil who, reader do you suppose wrote It 1 IS you an a von will ray it wra eome VaUsndighimer.

Mr. Mitchell's flock in the ancient town of Halifitx, he (a negro himself) determined to coerce his followers and to vindicate hia authority. Accordingly, on Wednesday last he collected a large number of bis more trusty followers, and after arming them in a manner u to render them invulnerable to attack And terrible In onslaught, he started ou his march to the devoted town to assert his ecclesiastical authority and enforce his supremacy over his rebel lious and intractable disciples. Matters began to look very bine in the ancient town when it was announced that Brother Mitchell, with his gallant and trust worthy veterans, with arms in their bands, Were ap proaching the town very rapidly and wero but a short distance off We presume that the cheek of many a darkey who had rebelled against the authority of Bro ther Mitchell blanched in contemplation of tbe aspect whioh matters had assumed. We learn, however, that the white citizens oi the town, to prevent the effusion of so mucb precious blood, sent out a' delegation, to meet Brother Mitchell and his legion, and importune with them not to ej^er the town. The negotiations of this delegation, we understand, proved successful. Brother Mitchell wae prevailed upon not to press his legions on the town, and they all marched off in another direction, mucb to the gratification, we have no doubt, of tome of the rebellions woolly heads of .Halifax. We do not kuow that any further attack may be apprehended, or that Brother Mitchell will make any subsequent effort to re-establish his au thority by fores. ,. It there no.power in this State to teach (bis clerical gentleman of color the impropriety of bis disorderly demonstrations 7 This may be considered a small matter; but if such riotous proceedings are not nipped in the bud they may ultimately lead to serieus. con sequences.— Weldon Star. 23i/i.
