RETRENCHMENT. '
White men in the North are hecotn
insr heartily tired of supporting; in idle
ness thousand of negroes in the South,
and hence they demand that the Freed
men's Rureau shall bo aholhhod. What
that Radical conti ivance has cost it 1
l aid even to estimate. No report has
ever b:cn made of the vast amount of
ijiiartermitsler nnd medical steles turned
over to that l'tircau, or of tho vuluc of
triitispot tation furnished. The nearest
we can come to a knowledge of the ex
pense is by the estimate of Gen. How
ard, who asked, in S(it, for a million
and thrie-fjuai lers to tlothi lreedmcn.
hall a milium to buy them j hysie, and
neatly two millions for transportation.
Resides this, there was (in irregular
I I r. -Mi i i ii i
iiinu oi one minion ana a halt which
disappeared in the same way. To these
sums must be added the loss Iho coun
try occasioned by tho withdrawal of la
bor in ten Stales by tampering with tho
negro. Field hands; have been tnrned
into politicians, and laborers, needed to,
raise cotton, rice, tobacco, corn and oth.
er products of the South, have laid
down ,: the thovel and the hoc," and
taken up the ballot and the carpet-bag.
In this manner the resources of the
South have been curtailed, the revenue
of that section diminished, and a heav
ier burden has been imposed upon the
c lpital, labor, and industiy of the North.
Fcr each ufgro supported in idleness
south of Mason nnd Dixon's line, some
white man has to toil an additional
number o! hour noiib of that boundary.
For each pound of bacon or ilour dis.
tiibuted to the Radical pets in the un
represented Sta'is, the wives and chil
dren of w hite men in the N jrth have to
! uller. One reason for the continuation
of high taxes in the country taxes
unprecedejkd in.thc history of nations ;
taxes which arc eating, cancer like,
ink) the very lifo of trade, commerce,
andcuMiicssj taxes raising rents upon
poor pcopb, and, at the sani3 time, ren
deling real estate comparatively unpro
ductive is the fact that the Radicals
have withdrawn tho ueirrocs from the
pursuits of industry iu tho South, and
thus deprived tho North of the benefits
of full productiveness from that section.
This position is incontrovertible. The
facta Hated cannot be disproved, and
yet the Radicals insist upon continuing
t'n j Fieednien's Bureau, the agency by
which all the mischief has been con
suinmateJ. White men who carry on
their shoulders the industrial fabric, of
the naiiou, are opposed to the present
system of feeding negroes iu tho South
and neglecting toilers of a lighter com.
plexion iu the North, and the receLt
elections have demonstrated this fact in
most unmistakable manner.

Anp Catholics. While the Registry
bill was being discussed, John Hick-
u m, a Radical member of the Houpc,
from Chester county, in a speech, as-t-cikd
that " An intelligent negro is
huporior to an ignoraut Irish Catholic,
and i.hou!d have the preference to vote."
Irishmen and Catholics fdiould make
ti uo'e of this, and resent it at the polls
next fall.
2f The RuJh have determined to
let President Jed li.vis go without a
trial, but President Johnson they wiil
depose. Davis tiied to destroy the
government, but J.ihnson upholds the
Constitution. The Rids arcc with
" the great rebel."

( f the money collected is spent by the

Cong esuHcn.
? HE IMl'EA C1IMENT.
The great trial came to a sudden halt
on Tuesday last, w hich was occasioned
through the illurss of Mr. Stauberry,
one of the President's counsel. The
' court ' very magnanimously agreed to
adjouru twenty-four hours to let Mr,
Stanbery recover. The ca 'O is now go
ing forward with the same speed that
bus eharaeteiizei the movement from
its first jr.ccptieu, and the probabilities
of a speedy termination are good.
The witnesses for the President who
have been called, among whom are Gen
Sbcunan and General Thomas, testify
that'Mr. Johnson, iu conversations with
! them, had said that it was no iuteniou
his to use toice in getting Stanton out
of the War Office j that it was bis in
tention to bring the tenure of o!5ce bill
before the courts, where, he said " it
would not stand an hour."
If the President sboulJ have a fair
show of justice, he would without
doabt bo acquitted; but judging ny
the past Actions of the bold, bad men,
who arc bis judges as well as jurors, an
aeijiiittal can scarce be expected.
