The President, at 10 o'clock this morning,
sent a communication to Stanton, suspend
ing him from office ss Secretary of War,
and directing him to transfer the records,
booka, ate., to Gen. Grant, and informing
Stanton that Gen. Grant had been smpow
ered to act aa Secretary of War, ad interim.
At the earae hour, authority was aent Gen.
Grant authorizing him to act as Secretary
of War, ad interiin, directing him to at once
enter upon his duty. At noon, the President
received a note from Stanton, denying that
the Pres'dent hai the light, under the
Constitution and laws, to auspead him
(Stanton) without the conaent of the Senate
or legal cause ; but inasmuch as the General
Commanding the Armiee of the United
State# had notified him (Stanton) that he
(Gen. Grant) had accepted the appointment
of Secretary of War ad iuffrim, he (Stanton)
had no alternative hot to anhmit, under
protect, to auperior force. Geti. Grant lias
assumed charge of the War Department
and appeared at the Cabinet meeting, to.
day, for the purpoee of considering certain
qucsMona with reference to territory recently
acquired from Russia.
The first communication from the Execu.
tive Department tc Gen. Grant, as Secretary
of War ad interim, was issued at 2 o'clock
to day, and refers to Louisiana matters ?
The order, it ia said on good authority, is
in harmony with the views of Cutler.

where whole Stale* and -communities are
brought under censure for the conduct of a
few. But it doe* seem to us, (whilst we utterly
condemn any interference by coereire or
|?uaitlve mean* with the right of suffrage.)
that outsider* should not just new join in denouncing
the wretched disfranchised people
of th# State of Tennessee, proscribed and
abused as these are at hsus, concerted from
freemen into political slams, sal th* cilest
of th* population pat orer them in clrll and
military domiaiation?persecuted, threatened,
tor riled, under a reign of terror never before
known in America, or scarcely in any eirliiied
country, in time of peace j with a Hsowslow
Judge proclaiming from the Bench that he
would act punish their murderers, with negro
militia insulting them, and committing villainous
outrages throughout the Statethese
human beiogs might almost be forgiven if they
declined to foster end patronise and encourage
the deludod creatures who vote to perpetuate
their misery and dogredntion.
It is with the unfortunate Tenoossoan a totally
different case from the Connecticut master
manufacturer, whom the Pkaenijc alludes io
as hsviag- iiechargod their operatives for voting
the Democratic ticket, nnd a totally different
case from each nnd every ordinary pnrty
contest. Wo detest party bittcrnes, nil efforts
to carry politics into the common business of
Xho country, or to make politics a religious
test, as has been extensively done nil over the
dominant section of tbo United States; but
upon what principle of political morality, or
Christianity, or justice, or common humanity,
can any man be seriously blamed for not cin~i?i

creature* who exert all their might and strength
to keep a knife at bis throat, and Dsowxtov's
rifle* and pistols pointed at bis breast, and
freely votes to ntako him a helpless slave of
vindictive power, and to deprive him of all
political equality with even the lowest African.
If there were any persona, fa?t'?ry opera
tivee, or any other hirelings, in a Northern
State, who had voted to impose on their
employers there, one half the oppression and
insult that those discharge 1 Tcoti'-es.-e ne
groo* voted against their employe!i, and
such voters should he dismi?ei-d from service
there could not be fonud, we verily believe,
in any other State, North or South, any one
eo bold as to say such employers did wrong
They would not be blamed by lookers on
in any other part of the civilized world.?
The miserable while people of Tenneeaee>
who are not Bkowxlow worehippere, and
we fear, " Che tir'eciabk-s " of other Southern
Slates, in losing their political r'ghte, are
threatened with the loss of the most *uered
rights of humanity ; disarmed of material
weapons, they are sought to he disarmed
even of the right of feeling, speaking and
acting, like other human Ix-ingt, in self de.
fence. -The most common slave in former
times, was usually allowed to choose Ida
own mn?t'-r, but tlie political slaves of Ten
neetee, embracing a vary, very Urge |-or
tion of the most wealth)*, intelligent and
virtuous men of the State, ate to he threat
eiie<l. b.rated, perhaps still further ptinbli-d,
because tliey exercise the poor privilege of
uaing such influence as tb*y can to clxnwe
tlielr own masters. They, having no politleal
righto, naturally preferro 1 Col. Ernxamae
and his friends, as masters, to fluv
ernor Brown low and his friends, an I as
naturally they would prefer, (as long a* the
negroes there are their political ruler*,') to
employ such as are disposed to give th-nt
a more humane master than Gov. Brown
low bas made.
We are thankful that the fate of lit* white
people in other Southern State*, is .tot like
that of Tennessee, and pray that none of
the unreconstructed States may ev?r suffer,
in the future, the same horrors that she lias
experienced. We wish to see no negro or
white man discharged from serviee for any
vote he may give in tlds State; and it ia
comfortable to feel that we are better situated
than Tennessee ; but if the time should
oonte when proscription and disfranchise
m -nt shall he advocated in South Carolina' '
Ai a settled policy, those who favor it eoitld ,
not blame the feeble retaliation of the euf |
ferer* in refusing to take them to their con. i
Adenoe, and to give them the preference as
hirelings over those who show some pity ;
and decency.

in a tod and arranged for a epeaher'a rtaod.

emissary .but waa actnallr loalna mono* br tear.
ing bono, lis owned himself a thorough Hopublican,
but said that hi* party intended not U
reconstruct the country a* State*, like (t formerly
was, but a* a nation. Mr. Arnbtronq
expressed aomo kiad sontiments for the State
of South Carol hi a, and proclaimed himeelf in
fbror of liberty for all. We eonelude he
would make a much better ruler and wiaer
Governor than Mr. Browrlcw, of Tennossee.
Next followed Mr. ? Houston, of Charleston,
colored, who dellrerod quite a fair acd
suitable speech to the crowd, whioh showed in
him good raising. We understand this speaker
is a natlre and eld resident of Chartertom
long before the war, sad was always a respectable
mom>>#r af his class.
After the second spoakor had couolndod,
Solomon Jours, a well known ettlson of this
District, was loudly called for. lie came forward,
a moment or two, hut declined to apeak,
fin the ground, particularly, that ha wns a
Register of voter*, and hia opinions were
known to be for the Republican party. We
must say that tbo spirit displayed by Mr.
Jonus wo* becoming nn honest man. In the
circumstances in which be now stands.
Wilson Cook, colored, was loudly called
for, and responded, in a vory good speech, for
a man of his opportunities ; many pronounced
it the best of the evening. Hn avowed himself
h Republican, with kind feelings for alb
white and colored ; advised nil who voted, to
vote for tbo best men, uvon if such were a
former master. He said he had been raised
himself amongst respectable people, and bad,
whilo a alave, always tried to be an honest
man. Ruch advice as Wilson Cook gave, will
be always calculated to do good and preserve
peace and good will among all classes. He
showod bo bad sense and principle enough not
to forsake the honest training ho had received
from those who raised him, and that if
others could be made fools of, by evil minded
and selfish strangers, ho was not likely to be
led astray.
Mr. Jas. M. Allrn, the postmaster of this
Town, made a very brief speech, indeed
*?r ecially addressed, he said, to the colored
men present. Inasmuch as he had heen
represented to he fond of sneaking to them.
He felicitated himself and hi* hearers upoa
the happy oil-*nge from the former condition
of things, when he could not hare
dared to publialy advocate the same seuti
mente for universal liberty, as he now oould
do. without ary one dating to disturb him.
At intervals, there was music to enliven
the crowd, and some very beautiful singing.
Good order ar.d good humor seemed to prevail
with every one, and no bad feelings
were stirred up. Upon iho whole, we h?>pe
the occasion will be productive of good ?
Much kind advice was bestowed on nil
classes who heard the speeches, uud if
speakers and listeners will carry out their
avowed principles of justice and foir dealing
to all classes and raeca, we shall have
no otj.-ction for theiu to call themselves
Republicans. They will deserve a good
name.
We Itsve never, for our part, since . man
cipation lias taken place, been disposed to
deny to the colored man, full equality wtb
the white man In si' legal rights, and so far
as that principle goes, w-- arc as much Re
publican as any one. We cannot rejoice,

Joj in Sorrow.
BY OBBTBUDS H. IIAZABD.
W? commend to our readers the exquisitely
beautiful poem thst follows, which we
ttke from the Rhode Islmnd Mercury. It i?
often thst the highest moral troth it expressed
with such psthos snd felicity of illustration.
Genius snd ptsty have united
to ranks plain to our understandings, and
acceptsblc snd dear to our hearts, the reli.
gious principles that sorrow is knowledge,
snd grief the teacher of the wise. It U
hard to attsio to this wisdom, but when attained,
the darkness becomes light, and our
path, however rugged and difficult, be'
comes smooth snd stright. The darkes*
problems of life nr?- solved, and we are rei?nnoi\mA

Above all floods of earthly agonies,
Purification being the joy of pain.
