Congress, last year, when less enlightened | than it is now, an@ when it had more confidence | ia the untried ability of Mr. McCulloch, left the ; lucttor of construction within certain limiis to | his diseretion. What has been (he result? It | Was never intended that he should use the power granted to injure the country ; yet he continued to withdraw the legel tender cur- rency while every step he was taking para- lyzed trade and suspended indusiry, ‘The press and people cricd out against this, for rain was staring them in the faco ; still be was | blind and obstinate. It was only when the | effect was felt in tho Treasury and a deficiont | revenue threatencd that ho was forced to aban- | don his ruinous course, and thea merely for a } Tesolution to suspend his operations he was in | full swing of contraction again, notwithstand- ing feilures, suspensions and financial trouble | in business were springing up all around him. | The country and the representatives of the | people have lost confidence in him. Even his former stanch supporters ave abandoning him ; for we see one of the writers of the lesser radical organ of this city, the New York Trim- | mer, sneeringly calls him the “Indiana banker.” Dut it i# not only on account of hia ruinous | contraction policy that Mr. McUulloch should uor be removed. Tho Treasury Dopari- ineut has been fearfully mismanaged in other | respects while under his control. Over a tun- | dred million dollars have been lost through internal revenue frauds, and that in one or two | articles only, In all probability the losses to the Treasury from his incapacity and mistman- agement amount to hundreds of millions. This is frightful to contemplate. No other govern- ment would keep such @ man in office an bour. Besides, he has utierly failed to give us any practical plan to reduce taxation, to improve | the finances, to bring economy or to benefit { the country. Inu word, Mr. McCulloch ts the | greatost failure as a finance minister with which any nation waa ovor afflicted. In England, France or any other great coun- try a minister of finance would resign instantly if bls policy were condemned by the repre- seniatives of the people, as Mr. McCulloch's | has been, EV8n wQ_absolu'e monarch would | not venture to retain him {9 omg: Would it | bo decent, then—would it not be ontrageous— for Mr. McCulloch to hold bts place? If be | should not respect the will of the people and | the voice of their representatives, if he bas a0 | regard for the welfare of the country or for his | own seltrespect, and will not voluntarily | resign, the President should demand bis resig- uation or suspond him. He has cost the coun- | wy too much alroady, and it cannot afford to let a man so incapable and 40 dangerous to the interesis of the people continue at the head of the Treasury Departmont, The country needs HW a practical business | man of broad views for Socretary of the Trea- sury—a man who is fomiliar with large finan- cial operations aad commerce—who knows | how to raise o revenue at the samo time he | is fostering trade and indusiry, Ho should be taken from the great commercial metropolis— | First, because he would bo more likely to under- stand the duties of the office than a country banker, farmer or politician ; and next, because | this is the centre of trade, commerce and finance. ‘There are men ia New York fully capable of | managing well the national finances, Among | them we may mention the Collector of the | Port, Mr. Smythe. We know how admirably he has managed the affairs of the Custom House, which ia @ post scarcely less arduous and requiring almost as much ability as that of the Treasury Depariment, Then, he has the confidence and reapect of the whole commercial community, Irrespective of political parties, Hehas had @ lifelong experience in largo commercial ond dnenelel A } perience in the Custom Hause, too, would enable him to prevent the trads on the reve- nue which have lately startled the country by their magnitude.

Owages of a revoliiag and iiameless characte are fre- quently reported as being commutiil by them. | Records of murdors, highway robbries, house burnings, petty thefis and all the leer crimes are numberless. Lod by unscrupulus Norih- orn radicals and outlaws, they bdeve they have a divine commission (o do as tey please and to regard themselves as the msters of the whites of every condition. But Opir latest and crowning operation was that of thich wo gave an account @ few days since ayhaving oc- curred in Bullock county, Alabama, It appears thatthe black loyal leaguers oranized and resisted the processes of the civil authorities, believing themselves, no doubt,to be the supreme lawmakers of the land. Jnder direc- tions of Northern emissaries thy actually furmed a code of laws, opened a cot, offivered and organized it, arrested all slacks who opposed thom, and were proceedag with the infliction of punishment until theirvictims had to seek the protection of the civilanthoritios. The black sheriff and his deputy were finally arrested ; but this, it seams, did mt qnell the disturbance, for other leaders oganized the bands and made armed resistance. They massed at a placo called Union Springs, throat- ening, according to our accounts, a general rising, tho extermination of the whites and the taking possession of the country. The whites organized for protection, but it was not until a doiachment of United States troops made its appearance that the outbreak was suppressed an the ringleaders arresied. ‘Thus is the era of negro supremacy, or a war of races, inaugurated in the South. [fsnffered to spread, the horrors of St. Domingo will pale before the atrocities which will be committed by the black barbarians to whom the radicals of the North are giving political power and at the same time supplying with warlike imple. ments When tho hour of retribution comes hamanity will shaddor at tho appalling record it will present. Now is the time for Congress to ao reform its reconstruction policy as to make it move accepiable to the South. It is its Jast chance, Lot it give tho whites and blacks equal rights at the ballot box. Let it passa general amnesty bill, wipe out old scores and begin entirely anew. For it t+ as certain as day if the radicals do not now relax their hold upon the throats of the Southern white popula- tion, whether identified with the rebellion or not, the gloomy fato that awaits the negro after the reaction that is now occurring in the North shall aswell, as it certainly musi, into an over- whelming torrent, will b> neithor distant nor problematical. The white people of the North and West qill in no event sanction the horrid policy of negro supremacy, and their verdict will, in duo time, settle the whole qnosiion. In the meantime it will be curious and amusing to watch the proceedings of the negro supremacy milla now worklog extra time jn Vitginta, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana. rendqua have rece Fenianiom ta Koglan | savagely and even vilely, rofesslons, and, traaght: with qemgen te onr.own tree, We recognizs in the whole condition of svoiety in Great Britain symptoms of disor- ganization and demoralization in the spread of this feeling, which is called Fonianism, but which is, in reality, revolution. We would, therefore, advise Mr, Disraeli and Lord Sianley to lose no time in settling the Alabama claims and looking after Canada. If they do not— and this is no time to trifle about the subject-- wo should not be surprised within half a dozen years to age the whole British iglands surging in the full tide of revolution; and then what would become of Canada? Minister te Austria Tha President has nominated several persons for the Austrian migsion—Messrs. Cowan, Cox, Nousscau, Raymond and some others, and, iinally, Mr. Grecley—but still there is no mia- istor, My, Johnson’s candidates for this honor- \blo position, for the convenient reference of tniure hislorians, must be divided into throe classes. Ho first selected his friends, and re- arded the mission as a reward for good in- ations and doubtful services, The Senate rejected this class for the samo reason for whieh the President had desired to honor it— becauso it was made up of men whose only jistinclion was that they were Mr. Jobnaon’s iviends, Mr, Johnson’s next class waa that of trimmers—men who would be anybody's friend for a good mis Theso the Senate rejected for their shpperiness; and then Mr. Johnson vegan wiih his third class. This is intended to tnelude those who had abused bim most His first name in this class was Greeloy. Upon being askod i sont in this name, the President said he “wished {o give the Senate a chew ot ry bad tobaceo.” The Senate accepted the moreeaun and chewed it, and Greo- Toy did the spitting, He spat apon tho omination and che confirmation—Presideat, Senaie and all together; and that 1s an end of Greeley’s diplomacy, But tho Senate's neaepl- anog of this chew of bad tobacco mu + indicate to Mr. Sohnaos {hat he is now on the yuee road to success in his effort to fil the Austrisa nission. Senators will not reject 3 class; and any man wo haa sufficiently al, sed the scutive stands a firat rate chance for the sion. Mr. Johnson will nominate ilu iv get him out of the way, and the Senate will confirm him to pay for his invectives. Three candidates are still on the lisi—Mr. Boutwell, of Massachusolis; Mr. Asiloy, of Ohio, and | was most pitiable. Wendell Phillips, of everywhere and nowhere. Mr. Boutweill did stand well; but his recent defeat before the House makes it not worth while to get rid of him, and a waste of means to pay him, The same may be said of Ashley, of Ohio, who has delved into every man’s old breeches pockets, in the attempt to find for- gotten letters and other trash that might be used against the President. No good candi- date remains but Phillips. This man has abused the President, with leas regard to cir- cumstances, with a more magnificent reckloss- ness, and a fuller, richer and more elegant vocabulary of denunciation than any other; and he, therefore, is just the man. Let him have the place forthwith. On to Richmond!—On to Specie Paymont! The radical ery is now, “Oa to specio pay- ment!’ But this sounds ominously, like tho old radical cry during the war, “On to Richmond!” Tho. latter cry—noltsily reiterated and thrust upon the government over and against the re- monstrances of Scott, McDowell and all the army men—lod to deadly disaster, delaying the fall of Richmond and prolonging the hor- rora of war. dreadful, must be the results of the new radical ery, “On to specie payment!” The Chase organ in this city may be vory knowing about the negro and very philosophical about Fouri- rite phalansterics, which, by the by, generally have ended in failure, notwithstanding all the aid and comfort afforded them by the Tribune; but if it persists, with Chase and his other friends, in advocating contraction and forcing prematurely a resumption of specie payments, in opposition to the intelligent views of states- men and the will of the poople, it must be ready, in the character which it has lately claimed as an “enterprising newspaper,” to chronicle a series of fiaancial disasters as the logical result of the pernicious theories em- bodied in this silly ory ot “On to specie pay ment!” Beecher’s Sermon to the Merchants.
