FAVORS ATtALUtIUTION 'n-neral Howard, head of llrecd men’s‘Bureau, is out publicly in favor of the amalgamation of tin* races. A ashington correspondent says tliat ” Howard’s holtl avowal hu- excited great consternation among tho-e Radi cals In Congre- who have become cog nizant of the fact, and mo-t nf them agree that the sentiments of the chief "[’ the FreedmeiiN Bureau unwt he bi j*t ax quiet as po-siMe,*’ Howard, a- our reader- are a ware, is a shining light in the rank* of hi- parly ; he runs the Bureau for Urn beuetU of vagabond negroes, at an ex pense to the white men of the North o millions of dollars. He i- very “101 l. 1 and, like Hon. Butler, John Forney su.d thousands of other-. has made lov it 11%’ pay. Ifi» open advocacy of amal gamation may cvcite “ consternation” amongsome men of his parly, but How ard need not be alarmed, for we have no doubt his idea will be a leading fea ture in the eroed of tlie R idical party before long, and lie will yet he lionized for having broached it. When negro eq utility and universal suffrage were first suggested, some Radicals were frightened; they Jcared extreme mea sures like these might create divisions in their ranks, but they got over their fright when they noticed that their par tizaus, with few exceptions, were ready and willing to swallow the nigger, hide and hair, and make him a companion. Now, no one is considered ’‘truly loir’ who is nut willing to speak of the negro as his equal, il not indeed his superior, “ bloody-handed rebels,'’ even such men as Gen. Longstreet, Lee’s right hand man during the whole four years of the war, can have their "bloody hands” cleansed, their sins washed out in u twinkling, and be d6clared “loil,” by merely saying that they consider the ignorant negroes of the South their su periors, and capable of controlling the affairs of this country. Wo repeat, then, that Howard, the big captain of the Freodmen’s Bureau, need not feel alarm ed at the twitching* of some men of his party who fear that his open advocacy of amalgamation is had policy. They will get bravely over that feeling by and-by, and no doubt will be ready to dispute with Howard as to who first ad vocated the doctrine. Pile on the agony, then, gentlemen of the Radical party-r-put down the screws —insist on negro equality, negro office holders, and finally on amalgamation. All right. The people are fouL you know, and will submit to anything that Radical conspirators may concoct. Trot out Grant, the man who stands branded as a falsifier and dissembler by the en tire Cabinet of President Johnson. Let him be put on the course, hy all means, and then let the white men of the na tion speak, and their voice will he heard in tones of thunder from one end of the Union to the other—“down with the umalgamationists, traitors, negro-wor shippers and falsifiers.” Perpetrators op Chime in the South. —We observe, upon looking through our .Southern' exchanges, long lists of persons who intye been sentenced by. courts for petty crimes or offences, Hourly till of ivhoin were negroes. If the latter were better men than '‘reb els,” why the vast disparity in the com mission of crimes? If it be said that tlie courts were partial, and punished negroes, while white rebels went un whipped of justice, why have not the military, under the reconstruction acts, interposed for the protection of hun dreds upon hundreds of the “superior” black race? Notwithstanding the two-day ex tension of the four-day “election” in Alabama, the carpet sacks and nigs have been defeated in carrying the so called constitution. To prevent a like result in other States the Rump of.eourse will immediately pass another bill ma king a mere majority pf vote? Biifflclent. A BIG BKBATE-NF.GHO WOMAN THE SUBJECT. A negro woman Wits ejected from the cars of the Baltimore and Ohio mil-road a few days since, because she insisted on occupying a seat that had been previ ously assigned to a white lady. She became obstreperous and impudent, and the agent very properly pm her out of the oar. This negro woman.it s«vm<. is one of the employees of the U. Senate—in what capacity is not stated. Of course the Radical Senators felt wry much inccnsetl when they hoard that an indignity had been offered their darling negro lady by an agent on the Haiti* muiv and (diio rail-road.

A voice from tlu gallery—“ good, good, dat’s so, mas-a Yates/' Drake ah’.-.,' followed, lie was ,l in favor of putting a stop to these outrages. This woman, who had been rudely thrust from the cars, was a free uclaroon, scarcely distinguishable from a white woman. This was an out rage of which tlit?

When the lady returned the “employe of the Senate,” urn impudent wench,j had ta- ken possession ofherseat. She request- ed her to give it up; the wench refused; the white lady then appealed to the conductor, who promptly told the “eift jiloyc of the Senate” that she could not take an occupied seal. She became fu rious, and dared tin* conductor to molest her. lie did not hesitate, and prompt ly and properly ejected her from the ours. Thin b the whole ease; and lids it wa> tiial drew tear-' from Sumner, ami occupied the .Session of the U. S. Senate for one entire day! What are we coming to? The country is suffer ing in a!J its interests ; men arestarving for want of work ; bread rim.- are threat ened in our large cities; and yet the Senate, Instead of trying to do some thing to alleviate the now felt in every State, consumes Us time in an attempt to defend the impudence of a negro woman. Wo had supposed, that the Civil Rights Bill had been passed fur the purpose of meeting just such ca ses as this; but the Radical Senators felt and know that this woman was in the wrong, and hence it was that they could not trust her case to the courts, but must take it into their own hands for settlement. fs it to be wondered at that our country is reeling like a drun ken man, and almost ready to fall into a despotism, when we see the kind of men who now represent us in the Na tional Capital? . Take the Radical political tricksters and army bummers from tire secret or ganization called the “Grand Army of tire Republic,” and very few members would remain. The organization is not under the control of the real soldiers of the late war, lienee it is not a lit place for true soldiers. The political leaders wire are setting up negro governments in tiro South have full control of it, and their design is to dupe tire soldiers into voting the Radical ticket by making them believe that they Rhc loaders) are doing everything solely for the soldiers’ benefit, bet no soldier allow himself to be inveigled by those slavering hypo crites, for, sooner or later, the brave fallow will find that tire scoundrels can lie like serpents and sting like adders. Radical Senator Nve lias left his official duties at Washington and gone to stump New Hampshire. “Tho’ lost to sight, to memory dear”—and dear also to the pockets of the tax-payers. Whenever a poor mechanic loses a day from work, by reason of sickness, or from any other cause, ids employer “docks” him a day’s wages. Why should not Radical Senators, Congress men and office-holders in the same man ner be “docked” for time spent in po litical speech-making and trickery? It is said that Stanton wrote tho Grant letters to President Johnson. >< :,.i rag- " that f. n. of ■vo:: 1 ,i - ’ tiif •vi i ■ ■i.'v'.; irp-.tr,»t ‘U- .harmt uU.abt-: \\ -beu’.d -v GRINT KXnonsr.D nVTIUD Jixr.VKAV Uakutsui no.

IT. 1 It is an old and Inn; saying that “the pon is mightier than the sword," and has found its latest illustration in the correspondence between President John son and General Grant- The lumiilitir ting position in which Grant has bead placed by that con espondenee has deeply chagrined the Radicals. A week agt\. thinking they had at lust discoyiajfctP something on which to base wiSjijSntsh inenl, they called for this and they got a little more than Iheyrbai;- gsmied for. The only way for Grant to explain his duplicity hi giving up the | War office to Stanton, in opposition to the known wishes of his superior officer, was to rai.-e a direct issue of fuel with the President. He virtually charges the President with lying about the mutter; but fortunately for the President, and unfortunately for poor, disgraced Grant, Secretaries Welles, M’Culloh, Browning, [Seward and Randall were present when the interview transpired between John son and Grant, and they confirm every thing that Johnson says, and seriously damage Grant’s reputation as a man of honor, and veracity. In plain truth (hunt wilfully and deliberately lied to the P resident, and of this olVense he stands convicted out of the mouths of six witnesses. The President said, in con versation with a friend on Saturday last, that he would give SIO,IKK) out of his own pocket, if the American people could have seen Grant at that Cabinet meeting when the questions were being pul to him by the President in regard to his ac tion in the Stanton mailer. “He is not by any means a big man” said IMr. John son, “either mentally, morally orphysi cally; but before be had answered the questions we put to him, he seemed to have shriveled up into no bigger than my list,” Poor Grant! He prates about his " honor i\s a gentleman and a soldier,” when his whole course in this Stanton matter shows that he scarcely knows the meaning of the word. But he lias ob tained his price. So long as ho main tained his honor unsullied, he hadn’t any show for the Radical nomination for the Presidency; but now that he has shown himself capable of any measures that may be necessary to carry out the revolutionary schemes of his Radical masters, his nomination is a fixed fact. All the bluster about impeachment has again ended in smoke. The Reconstruc tion Committee backed squarely down and laid Stevens’ impeachment resolu tion on the table hy a vote of six to three. There never wasu clearer case of “ fizzle” in the history of the government. Old Thad raved like a mad hull, ami called his weak-kneed Radical brethren “ cow ards” and “ traitors,” but all his threats failed to bring them up to the scratch.— Tiiey felt that the load was a little too heavy even for the Radical party to shoulder. The defeat of the Constitution in Ala bama threw tlie whole Radical camp in to confusion. It was a severe blow from an unexpected quarter. After all the Ja ilor and intrigue of months, reconstruc tion was slaughtered in the house of its friends. But tlie Radicals are determin ed not to be beaten. Although under tho provisions of tlie Reconstruction meas ures Alabama Inis rejected tlie Constitu tion dictated by the leaders at Washing ton, yet she is to he admitted as a State, on a vote of scarcely one sixtli of her qualified electors. Her vote is needed for Grant, and 'sire and tire other South ern States must bo brought in under ne gro State governments before tire Presi dential election—and for this they will violate their own arbitrary Jaws.— Whether the white people of the North will submit to have a President of tire United States elected by the negro votes of tho South remains to be seen.

Newspaper Laws.—Postmasters are required to give notice by letter, when a subscriber does nob take his paper from thc cilice and give the reasons for its not being taken. Neglecting to do so makes the postmasters responsible to the pub lisher for the payment.
