Should we GmplO(1
Gin. Pope h::« decreed that state nffi
rials shall do all in their power to break
down, and destroy the conservative press
of the country: and that said officials
shall contribute, in their official capacity,
(oontrary to law,) towards the uphold
•- inn, cncoaragifrg and supporting of Yan
kee adventurers and villainous traitors,
wire have established among us an inccn
diary press. Herein Ids Majesty, King
John, acts an example, which the people
will not be slow to follow, and which
may recoil upon the bead* <>l bis own
friends. Proscription is his theor , : and
bn has the power to enforce it to a err
fain extent; but llte peo/de, although in
chains, are greater than he, possess more
power, and, if wc are not mistaken, will
Ajllow he example he has presented, and
fully illustrate the policy of proscription.
For example: in every village, town
•u(f city in the State of Georgia, are
numbers of negro mechanics, duy labor
ers, eta, who arc dependent upon the
conservative whites for labor and subsis
tence. Many of these colored men have
allied themselves with the Rad cal party
—-joined its "Union Leagues” —and
pledged themselves, by steel-bound oaths,
to work in the interest of those who are
clamorous for the oppression of our peo
ple and confiscation of the remnant of
property left them from the ruins of the
revolution. These negroes have thus
placed themselves in hostility to the pe.i
ple among whom tli y live, by whom
they arc employed, am) from whom they
derive the bread of life. Whilst they are
thriving on our subsistance, they arc
plotting lor our further oppression and
the confiscation of our property. And
still the people confer upon them tavors,
and treat tbumjin every respect as friends.
This humane, but suieidul policy, should
cease. If a stranger should commnni
cato to yutn the startling information,
that at the very first opportunity he in
tended to rob you of your purse and
place upon you insult and oppression,
sod furnished unmistakable evidence of
tiis sincerity of purpose, you certainly
would not clothe him with the means
whereby to remain within your reach,
and opportunity to carry out bis hellish
designs. Far from it: you would drive
him from you with disgust.
This is the ease with many negroes in
Quitman and elsewhere. They have giv
en undeniable evidence of a hostile spirit
—they have joined the armies of the op
pressor—and now only await the oppor
tune hour to strike a fatal blow at the
honor, the property and the homes of
their friends and neighbors; and yet, our
people are so charitable to the .faults of
their old servants, —so disregardfol of
the future interests of the country, tliut
these vile and ungrateful scamps receive
continued and lucrative employment, en
couragement and support; and this, too
from the very men whom they design to
oppress and rob.
We are possessed of much of tho “milk
of human kindness and pity," but must
confess that the actions of these new
fangled fancy colored politicians, has
converted much of it to gall. We are
not disposed to foster the growth of a
ripe.r, or to aid in driving the poisoned
arrow deep in tho bosom of a brave, chiv
alrous andjouce free, but now unfortunate
people.
It is therefore suggested that the pro
scription policy of the immaculate Pope,
be adopted by tho Conservatives, and
that his party friends, (white and black)
be brought to feel and appreciate the
practical workings thereof.
It may be said, that the freedmen are
ignorant, and that Radical emissaries
have taken advantango of their duplicity,
and led them astray. Tho time has been
when suchexcuao would prove available,
but not now. They have, time and again, j
received wise counsel and instruction i
from those who have ever befriended :
them; they have been constantly warned ,
against the intrigues and designs of the ]
enemy, and with a settled determination, j
have persisted in adhering to the cause j
of the Jacobins, The plea of ignorance
is of no avail—they kno.v the correct ;
course, hot refuse to follow it. Many of j
them are intelligent, shrewd and design-1
ing—they are plotting for the ruin of our
government and domestic happiness—
and with the cool effrontery of the Devil,
persist in realizing a subsistence through
our bliud and stupid benevolence.
Let this ruinous policy cease I Employ
none (no matter how pressing the emer
gency) who are allied with the Radical
dietructinnists. Let them suffer: yea, if
need be, let them starve! T. ey have no
night to expect aid from those whom
they design reducing to worse than
Egyptian bondage. Perhaps their Radi
cal friends will come to the rescue and
supply t eir wants Carry out in full
the proscriptive policy of Gen. Pope, and
let his own fi ietide drink to the dregs the
bitter cop lie prepared for others.
It is not generally known that General j
John Pope rescinded the order closing
the state University,-on- tlte express con
dition, that the State Treasurer must pay
if no more money,, “and the preen of the
State must'not'mmment'upon the action of
the General commanding-." There—tell

ment is needed—the order -speaks for
itself —and will, for all time to come,
damn its author to eternal infamy.
The Great Requirement Southern
Labor.
A subject of far greater importance
than the political reconstruction of Ge
American Union, is the question of Son th
em labor. The negro has lmd a fair
trial; and it has been sufficiently demon
*strttted that he is unreliable, and adds
neither wealth nor interest to the coun
try. Under these circumstances, it is
well that landed proprietor*, men of en
terprise and capital, and those who have
the future prosperity of .lie South at
heart, should Us devising ways and
means, whereby the vacuum created by
emancipation can be supplied, and pros
perity restored. Time will rectify our
political difficulties, but it requires ener
gy, enterprise ami capital to restore our
industrial prosperity.
General butler uttered the truth (a
rare thing with him) when he declared
that "it is a self-evident political truth,
that where the land is held in large tracts
by the employer, to be tilled by the em
ployed, there can lie no just and trno
field for the exercise of Republican citi
zenship.” To give value to land we must
have a dense and thrifty population, al
lied with the soil by interest. Ist ml in
always cheap where labor is scarce and
unreliable. The object, then, of our peo
ple, should be to induce the settlement
among us of a reliable, thrifty population,
and cause them to be identified in inter
est by becoming landed proprietors.
There is but one plcn by which this
great desideratum can be accomplished:
Tlte direct importation of foreign popula
tion and labor. This can bo procured
very readily, if the proper policy is pur
sued; ami as good terms can bo made
with the Irish and men of other nation
alities, as were made the present year
with the freedmen, and certainly to the
decided advantage of the landed proprie
tors: not only in the character of service
rendered, but in the general satisfaction
given, by deportment and results.
The expense of importation is light.
A commission firm in Savannah, Messrs.
Roberts &■ Tillman, arc making arrange
ments whereby from one hundred to a
hundred thousand laborers can be
brought direct to Savannah, on English
or American merchantmen. They have
established an Agency in Europe, thro’
which any character of labor desired can
be procured, from the most hardy classes
of ycortenry; and Ibis agency is charged
not to forward any hut trustworthy lab
orers. As to cost of transportation, and
Compensation expected for services ren
dered by the laborers, we are unprepared
to give an opinion. Wc are justified in
saying, however, that the matter of
transportation will be a small item, and
compensation not move than at presout
paid to freedmen. We would, however,
advise employers to be liberal to the em
ployees, and good and faithful service
may be expected.
But the true p licy of the planter
wouM be, to divide, say half of Ins plan
tation into forty aero farms, build upon
them small, but jomfortablo houses, and
make sale of the samo to the laborers, at
extremely moderate rates—to bo paid in
work, or in yearly instalments. The la
borer thereby immediately becomes iden
tified with tho country, and will devote
every spare dollar and moment to tho
improvement of his homestead. It is
true, in the course of a year or two, lie
may realize sufficient as a laborer to cut
loose from his employer, and cultivate
his own farm; but tho native planter
need not bp inconvenienced in conse
quence, for the prosperity of tho original
contractor or employee, will, in the mean
time, induce others, in his native land, to
follow him to the South.
This is the manner in which the immi
gration Rchcme in the Northwest was
managed; and if it proved successful
there, how much more so would it bo here.
Fifteen or twenty years ago landA that
now sell in Illinois for one hundred dol
lars per acre, could have been purchased
for five or ten dollars. The enhanced
value has been accomplished by a judi
cious system of immigration. And if
such has been the case with Illinois, most
assuredly similar results would follow in
Georgia, for our lan Is are more valua
ble.
The average revenue rom lands in Il
linois is about thirty dollars per acre; in
Southern Georgia, industry and enter
prise will cause them to yield from fifty
to one hundred dollars per aero.
Therefore we say, let the proprietors :
of the soil offer landed inducements for
foreign labor, and they will not only pro
cure faithful labor, but enhance the value
of their land ten fold. It is tbe only sal
vation of the country, and the sooner the j
peoole stare the fact in the face, and ap-1
predate it properly, the better it will bo ,
for all interests. ‘Trocrastination is the !
thief of time.” If we dilly-dally with the j
present worthless labor population—hop-;
ing against hope, that it can yet be made
available—-the country will be irretrieva
bly ruined.
In this connection wo will remark,
that our sister State, Florida, i.i moving
in this foreign immigration scheme: The
citizens of several counties have made
arrangements whereby several thousand j
Irish laborers will be introduced tbe ap- j
preaching winter. Some of the largest
and most successful planters in that
State, have fully tested the adaptability
of white labor, and are delighted with re
sults.
Tho Editor of the Tboniasville Enter

proprietor of the new paper in that city,

views agree with his own precisely. If
such is the ease, then the new paper will

The popular propHelors of the "South
ern Palace Dry Goode lloiioo,” of .Savan
nah have one of their peculiar advertise
ment in to-day’s J’ctoYor. \Ve have fre
quently hud occasion to allude to this ex
tensive house, and recommend it to the
favorable consideration of interior mer
chants and planters. Mr. Orff, the senior
partner, is c-onstAnlly in the Northern
markets, and is thereby enable not only
to keep on hand the best of slocks, but
to purchase them at an advantage. A
speciality at this house is domestics.
Having the exclusive agency for Savafi

an immense stock and sell at New York
prices.
A Great Convenience Ford &
Tlioiupnou
We direct attention to the card of
Messrs. Ford & Thompson, of Savannah.
They are deserving young gentlemen, en
gaged in a necessary and laudable bus
iness, and certainly finish a great con
venience to the people in the interior.
Being constantly supplied with all the
most important Daily and Weekly news
papers and Magazines published in the
United States us well as a fine supply of
books, novels, Ac., all our people have to
do is to forward their orders by mail, and
prompt returns will be made through the
same channel or by express. They also
keep on hand Stationery of every des
cription, and will sell the same ut very
moderate rates.
We most cordially recommend this
i ews firm to the favorable consideration
of the readers of the Hanna-, and hope
they will occasionally extend to it pat
ronage.
Roberts & Tillman.
Attention is called to the card ‘of this
new Commission house, of Savannah.
Hiram Roberts is an old and highly es
teemed citizen of the Forest City, and
gen rally known as % reliable and ener
getic business man. Joseph Tillman, of
Madison, Florida, is welj known through
out this section as a gentleman of intelli
gence, business tact, and with all, one of
the largest and most successful planters
in the "Land of Flowers.* It is a strong
firm, and is recommended to the business
community as tru twortby and reliable.
Messrs. Sloan, Groover & Cos.
This is anew firm, and takes the
place of “Sloan, Slegal & Stubbs,” for
tiierly a popular commission house of Sa
vannah. They are located on the Bay,
and business entrusted to them will be
carefully and promptly attended to. Mr.
C. E. Groover, of Brooks, and Col. A. T.
Mclntyre, of Thomas, arc connected with
this firm,—which is a guarantee for tho
faithful transaction of business. They
are correct, discreet and clever gentle
men -facts sufficiently known in this
country to secure for the firm an exten
sive business.
A Hopeful Future.
In the midst of the gloom and depres
sion presented in business circles to-day,
says the Pittsburg (Pa.) Republic, there
is a single ray of hope, which lights up
the future and gives confidence to the
merchant manufacturer and laboring man
There are such unmistakable signs of de
cadence in the Radical party, such con
clusive proof that it is falling to pieces
by its own inluftreut rottenness, that the
country at large may well indulge the
hope, that at no distant day we shall be
rebeved from the thraldom of this destruc
tive organization, and our national politi
cal commercial and manufacturing inter
ests be allowed once more to move on in
a smooth, uninterrupted and peaceful
channel.
The working men of the nation have
a fearful account to settle with the Radi;,
cal loader* Beguiled by their honeyed
words,'they were induced to -east their
ballots for men who have in every par
ticular falsified their promises, and who
to-day, notwithstanding the depression
in business circles, and the unmis
takable complaints of the working
men which come tip from every portion
of the land, are still pressing their ruin
ous policy, with the determination of
men bent on rule or ruin.
But there is a light ahead. The day
is dawning. The masses are awakened
fully to the immensity of the interests at
stake—the peace and prosperity of Hie
nation—and arc silently, but not the
less determinedly, preparing to hurl from
power the men who for six years past
have so grossly abused the trust reposed
in them. It is a consolation that in the
affairs of men or nations there comes a
like a day of reckoning—a day in which
the accounts of the past will be audited
ami the balance struck for or against the
accounting parties as the figures may
detorniine.
So far as the Radical party is coticctn
ed, its tiny 1 1 reckoning- lias arrived, and
the jury of the people are summing up
the testimony preparatory to the rendi
tion of the verdict at the coming elections.
It requires not the pen of a prophet to
foretell what that verdict will be. Already
the culprit trembles for conscience strick
en, the leaders know that tho people
whom they have wronged insulted and
oppressed, will rise in* their might, and
with resistless force sweep them from
power. We may hope for a great revi
val of former business activities. Our
men will no longer be kept in idleness,
our factories will teem with the burn of
industry, our merchants will again be
blessed with seasons of prosperity, and
the whole people under tbe magic change
will commence anew their march toward
supremacy among all the nations of the
earth.
Not Ykt. —President sus
pended, for the present the order remov
ing Gen Sheridan from the couipmod of
the Fifty Militai y District
Gen Pope’ - , Jury Order-
Gen. Pope’s General Orders, No. f>3,
declare* that all jurors shall hereafter be
taken exclusively from the lists of regis
tered voters, without discrimination. —
Thus at one stroke annulling the entire
Jury law of Georgia, and practically
closing every court of justice ill the
State; for no Judge, possessed of a parti
cle of self respect, would consent to pre
side over an illegal Court or deliver a
grave charge to a block jury cinpannelled
contrary to all recognized Statutes. Gen,
Popp evidently perceived the delenmia
JinWtivhich he had cast the judicial affiairs
of the District, and consequently tho
•minor which reaches us from Atlanta,
through the Macon Telegraph, to wit :
that a grave mistake occurred in said
General Order No. 53. It was never
designed to draw the names of colored,
but ordg white citizens whose names may
be on the registry. The mistake of in
serting "without discrimination,” was
the work of tbe Adjutant.
We are glad Gen. Pope has deemed
proper to discover tbe grave "mistake,”
but. he would have subserved the inter
ests of tbe District far more by repealing
the Order in toto.
Perhaps he can likewise discover, by a
careful examination a slight "mistake” in
his celebrated Press Order. Perhaps be

editorial fraternity, your early attention
will greatly oblige, yours most respect
fully, Ac.
Suspension of tlie Alliun)’ News.
The Bainbridge Georgian says it
"learns from private sources that the
Albany News was suspended by order of
General Pope, Commander of the Third
Military District, on Saturday the 17th.
We have not learned the reason for this
course more than the general charge of
disloyalty.”
We very much doubt this report. It
is true the News has not made its appear
ance in our sanctum for ten days or more
and there is a probability it has "gone
under.” It certainly gave no cause to
Pope to suppress it, as its editorials were
mild but dignified. Wc are disposed to
agree with the Savannah Advertiser, that
it was a more powerful General than i
Popejwho caused its suspension—Gen
eral Starvation.
Getting Scared-
A dispatch from Wilmington, N. C.,
says that the Republicans ill that city
are becoming alarmed lest a negro should
be elected Mayor. It is too late now to
“cry over spilt milk;” as they have sown
so shall they reap. It was a nice little
game the radicals fixed up to catch negro
votes —never dreaming that poor Cuffie
had aspire tionsaa well as mean Yankees.
A negro Mayor is a small matter. Look
out! Perhaps you will see a score or more
negro Senators and Representatives de
manding seats in the United States Con
gress. If the Yankees can stand that, we
of the South have no cause to complain:
especially as we no longor have any in
terest in the United States Govern
ment.
Conservative Convention.
A Conservative County Convention
was held in Tallahassee, Fla., on tho 24th,
and it is reported as a grand success.
White and black delegates were present
in force, and hundreds of spectators were
unable to gain admittance to the hall. It
is represented as a grand rally of the
masses, and speeches were made by sev
eral distinguished gentlemen. The reso
lutions adopted accept the situation, pio
puse to give the freedmen every political
and civil right, and call upon all, without
'regard to color or antecedents, to unite
to reconstruct the Btate under the acts
of Congress.
A dirty sheet, up in Griffin, in this
State, edited and controlled by a dirty
native dog—the American Union, -stands
s' litary and abne in giving a wholesale
endorsement to the vile proposal of l’ope
to exile our best men. It says : “Ifour
feeble voice can avail anythiug with
General Dope, we implore him to put in
to immediate operation his idea of ban
ishment, Such moves will make treason
odious-, and after all it is only retaliation
in a very mild form for similarorders.were
issued here by the rebel government du
ring the war. Yes, banish everybody
who does not think proper to respect and
uphold the government, say we; it is on
ly paying the rebels back it. their own
coin.”
I Bsig" Query: What is the matter with
; Simon kaizen berg, late merchant, cotton
speculator, etc of MadisouFla? During the
recent war he was considered “all right,’’
and as true a non-fighting rebel as could
he found South. Recently we hear of
him as a delegate to a Radical Conven
tion, and now President of the Board of
Registration for the county of Madison.
] What’s the matter, Katz. ? Have you
j taken tho “Iron-clad,” and like some oth-
I ers we know, perjured yourself? If you
! have—may God have mercy oil your
soul.
It is reported from Atlanta, that or
ders liave been privately issued from

| shall be sent to tbe Convention! So, Mr.
[ Radical Negro, how do you like this
| form of proscription? You may vote for
a dyed in the wool Radical, but you
shall not he permitted to partake of the
“loaves and fishes,” nor have a voice in
the deliberations of your Radical mas
ters. You will be permitted to eat and
sleep with them, in the dark, but during
daylight, yoo must stand back. Inis is
Yankee equality. They are ashamed ot
yon. Don’t like your color o r smell Quit

The Two Races.
We dislike very much to
notoriety to men of shallow brain;—it
makes them cbnccitcd. Gen. John Pope
is oue of this class ; but the position he
occupies gives importance Id hia opin
ions and therefore the reason for reproduc
ing the following extract from his recent
letter to Gen. Grant. It Is sufficient
evidence to convince any jury of twelve
men, that the man is crazy :
“The earnest and touching anxiety of
the freed people to learn cannot but make
a profound impression upon the mind of
any one who bus had the opportunity to
observe it. It may safely be said that
the marvellous progress made in educa
tion and knowledge by these people, aid
ed by tbe noble and charitable contribu
tions of Northern societies and individ
uals, finds no parallel in the history of
mankind. If continued (anJ if contin
ued at ail it must be by the same agen
cies,) and the masses of the white peo
ple exhibit the same indisposition to be
educated that they do now, five years
will have transferred intelligence anJ
education so far as the masses are con
cerned to the colored people of this dis
trict.”
An Appeal to the President
The Memphis Avalanche makes an
earnest appeal to the President to arouse
from his let! argy, and rescue thccoun ry
from the hands of the spoilers ere it be
too late. We quote the closing portico
of the article :
We ask yon in tlte name of our fore
fathers, In the name of departed liberty,
in the name of a once hooored Constitu
tion and in the name of suffering human
ity, break your charms, re assert your
place, drive out the usurpers, reestablish
States, break down despotism, and be a
worthy successor of Washington and
Jackson. Yea, fifteen States clothed in
sackcloth, and covered with ashes, look
to you and with a voice that shakes the
continent—almost wakes the dead—-call
upon you, you—yes, you—to save them
and their children from hopeless abject
slavery.
Do not say Congress is responsible.
There is no Congress. It is a rump, a
miserable Radical rump, and we beg you
heed not its mandates. Deposed you
they have, but they have no right to do
I the wicked deed. They were and are
j viler than midnight assassins. The blow
I aimed at you has fallen upon the whole
! nation, ami it reels to and fro as though
!in its last throes. You alone can save
! it. Strike, and millions will rise from
; their death of slavery to anew and glo
rious life. Our Savior said : "And
i greater works than these shall they do.”
: lie had stood by the grave of Lazarus
and called him from his sleep of death.
Wc bid you stand with uplifted hands
by the grave of liberty ar.d bid her rise,
and she will awaken to a glorious life.
.Stand by the deep, dark grave of fifteen
States, and command them to rise to
life and take their glorious place amid
that brilliant Constellation which has
shone for eighty years upon the American
sky. Do this, and high as Jackson, nay
alongside of Washington you place the
name of Andrew Johnson. Fail to do
this, and a darkne s thick and black will
forever obscure a name which might
have shone with a splendor equal to any
of the "few, the immortal names that
were not born to die.” Now, Mr. Presi
dent we have made this earnest call, up
on one whom we loved to honor in hap
pier days, when together we fought a
gainst dark lanterns. Since the re estab
lishment of the Avalanche it has sustain
ed you with uufaltering fidelity ; yon
have no truer friend no firmer vindicator
Listen to our pleadings and we ask no
more. Restore peace and liberty and we
are yours forever.

Truth from a Uxiox Shrieker. —Flake,
of the Galveston Bulletin, a notorious
Northern Radical, says, “We may just as
well tell the truth at once. Whatever
lights or privileges have been bestowed
on the freedmen by the North, have beeu
given of necessity. It is a great mistake
to suppose that there is any superfluity
of love for colored men in the bosoms of
Northern people. There is an intense
hatred of rebellion, but no more love for
the negro than can be conveniently enjoy
ed. Tbe Hues of distinction between the
races are deeper broader and more indeli
ble in Quaker Pennsylvania than Mis
8 ssippi or Texas It would not be
strange if, sometime in the far distaut
future, the negro would be forced to ap
peal to the South agaiiist Northern pre
judice.”

i shipmates. The eagerness of the former to secure
I the negro’s help, is only equalled by the zealous
; self-importance that marks his upward progress
1 to greatness and power; and both exhibit unrais-
I takable signs of that sort of lunacy the Gods are
said to afflict their doomed victims with, just pre
ceding the final catastrophe. ... ,
There is however, some method tn tbe mad
ness of the negro. Taught by his quondam
friends to believe that he has been suddenly
transported from tbe regions of darkness and [g
norance to tbe summit of intelligence and light,
and that tbe elective franchise is a rignt long with
i held from him, he is at a loss to And the distinction
i between that right and the right to hoid office,
j Impressed with the idea that he is at least equal,
in the social, moral and intellectual scale, to the
vagabonds who court his political association, he
is uot unmindful of the political qMpro quo.
and is beginning to assert the logical deduction
!of the argument that makes him a voter. In the
Quitman Banner of to-day, Mr. Patrick Hcklin",
S a v,. r y respectable gentleman of color, boldly
throws down the gauntlet, and proclaims some
■ potent reasons for the faith that is in him.
The candidacy of Mr. Fickling is one of the
significant signs' of the times, and develops* a
i tact of the gravest import to tbe American peo
ple. It is the natural fruit of the Radical tree
| [tsetf. The fact is clearly uml formally present
j ed that the new voting element will claim Its
share of the spoils, and that no party can secure
I its strength without pledges and a fair division.
The dominant party must, therefore, yield to
S the pressure, and submit to a “mixture of races
lin the h ills of the National Legislature and,
■ peradventure, to a colored presiding officer in
: the Senate, or lose the negro vote of the South,
and hasten to its final dissolution. It is not in
I their present pnigiamine to do that thing; for two
: reasons it bus been and will be excluded: hirst,
it will consign tbe party to defeat and infamy,
| and second, they have too many hungry aspir
ant* to think of giving Sambo a place. The only
: use they have for the negro is his vote, and, tor
one i at!) glad he is finding it out; and it that
i fact shall become generally known among the
freedmen, I shall expect to see them cast their ;
entire vote for delegate* of their own race.
I should an election for members of Congress be
1 ordered under the present scheme of reconstrue
! tion; and it may, in the course of events, become
j the true policy of the obstructionary whites to
give aid and comfort to the movement. But it
! is perhaps, injudicious to touch that key just
j uow, and i therefore adjourn my letter to a more
; appropriate season.
Yours loyaJy,
Servbtus.
Johnson and Grant Disagree-
A dispatch from Washington, dated j
the 28th, says that it is stat and that Gen. f
! Grant has written the President a letter, j
claiming that Congress has vested all j
authority for reconstruction in the com
manders of the five Districts. Geu. Grant
is unwilling to vest it in others, and
therefore will at least delay the execu
tion of the Executive orders relieving
Sickles and Sheridan.
Sickles’ Removal.
We take the following telegram, dated
Washington, August 2Tth, from our Sa
vannah exchanges:
The brercti between the President and
General Grant is widening. O- n. Grant
is on defiant ground, in opposition to the
Executive assignments, lie protests with
some indignation against General Han
cock’s removal from the Department of
Missouri. Grant has not yet promulga
ted instructions carrying the President’s
orders into effect.

i To-day the Tribune hugs Grant and
j the Herald drops him saying the political
I position assutnmed by Gen. Grant shows
i our great soldier in anew light. It is
his first development of political genius
i —his first and final mistake. The reply
j if the President has completely over
i thrown him and outflaked him. Gen.
j Grant does not understand the crisis
