Ha has removed one of Ate Cabinet from offlee. His Cabinet, ja Are Cabinet, n?t the Cabinet of Kadicala We | leave out of consideration, the merits of Mr. 8lanton, a* a man or an officer. It war enough, both in law an! propriety, that he did not agtse with President Johnson in his policy, or wm not even personally agreeable to liitn?tho President, by the law, had a right to ohoo#e hie counsellor#, and he has exercised this right. Is there any tyranny in this? N gontlenun would have remained a moment, in such a situation, against the will of the President, Who Is tyrannized over l?y the removal of Mr. Stan, ten bom the offije of Seorstary of War? Vol the people, for a better man is in his plsoe. General Grant, has already by the removal of superfluous oflhrsrs In the War Office In Washington, saved the country millions of dollars. If President Johnson is s tyrant in removing Stanton from offioe, General Grant is the instrument of his tyranny. But, he has roraoT? 4 Generals Sheridan and Sickle, frera their commands in the South. Where is the tyranny in their removal? As "Commander of the Army and Navy of the United States," no one doubts the right of the President, to remove these subordinate officers under -hi? command.? When the power was proposed in Cor gi ea? to be taken from him, in the formation of the Beoonstruction ads, it wna stricken nuf. by the- Senate?on the ground, that such Hgf elation would be contrary to the consti. j tution. No one has said, that the Genera's appointed to succeed liieni, are not eompe. - - ? -- ? jmii.. fc-.'Ill W UlKlllll^Q VI1V unnro v. vivi VM. rnands. Where, then, is the tyranny 1 It does not exist, egainH Generals Sheridan , and Sickles?for they took their commend* by the appointment of the President, w ith n I thorongU knowledge that, ?s oflicere of the army, thoy owed obedience to the head oi - It, snd were removable at Iris pleasure.? * There Is no tyranny against tlvo Northern people?because, the lews three -oflicere were to enforce, puts no tyranny-aacr themThey pot n tyranny over the Southern people. Bnt the Southern people do not com plain. It is not on account of any cfte upon them, tl>?t the 7Yihxne dt-noTi.,?es th*se removals, as aetc of tyranry. Tlie tyranny it denounces is agninst iI.o Noith?rn people; and the essence of it consist*, in the euppoeaed effect it tniy havo, In lightening the tyrana* upon the Southern people. Wo do not presume that the tyranny of tbc ontUrnry acts, will be materi" ally lessened by the change of commanders in The South. These acts, with their negro rule policy, will be carried out, just as well {or as ill) by the substituted, aa by the oilginal commanders, llow are the people ot the North then tyrannized over by the removal of the original commanders 1 The whole truth of the matter, we presume, ta this? The original commanders, were not content, simply to enforce tha Reconstruction laws of Congress, by the means prescribed by the acts; but they un dertook to radicalize the South. Tide they proposed lo accomplish, b" no ndmiui.-ter log these law*, an to put the negro in ft e ascendant over tlie while man. It is the disturbance of this party operation, which extorts the fierce cries of " tyranny" from the Trilnne. It is I hie, which makes PretiJent Johnson a criminal. Ills this, which is to wake np the thunders of impeachment, to launch him from the Presidency. Here is a mockery, which might mske merry the lowest deep of the lower regions. Radicals complain of tyranny I These are they, who have introduced the sword, as the arbiter of right, amongst the people of the United States. These are they, who put Qway the ark of their covenant?'the Coo, titntiou of the Uniten Slates?and set up ^n its steed, a military despotism ever themselves. It is they, who during a tour years' war, waged with a cruel disregard of the laws of war, have, with fire and sword desolated the oountry of a kindred people, whose only offence was, that they, like their common ancestors, sought to rule themselves. It is they, who sines >he war. have refused to grant these people political privileges; t?nt have Kepi insm unocr n military despotism ; and are uow engaged, in tbe flendi.k enterprise, uf ruling them Vy thuir former slaves. These are the peowho wai! over, as "dreadful tyrannies,'' fete ol the President which are justly < a,msn?hle to but one charge hateful with with them?and that is?that they are etrietly legs) and const it u'ional. Their whole vocation, for the ln?t three years of pence, has been to deviae the most efficient uieans by tbe tnost absolute despotirm, without regard to the constitution?whereby, they they can impoverish?harass and , dentroy, socially and politically, the people of ten Ktatee of the United States They suffer a " drtrnffid tyranny ?in the attempted melioration of their tyranny over others. To counteract their power, or even their party interests, is a crime to ho puni*hr<L, by evoking the most august powers of the constitution. What is this, but. tyranny gun mad?the rng? of the tiger, lest his prey should be snatched from his jaws? What i* it, but the fatal sign, that pi'tiee and liberty no longer exist., as controlling elements, in the rulers of tbe Government of the United States?

The applieatien by Gen. Hickmi of thU order to iltjrlng tbe ptoorM of lb* united States Court (an Execution for debt) oecasion d bla removal. It is a little remarkable that tbe effort to protect a ctttieo o' his military district from present oppression and rein bee resulted in orsling the General fVom hll command. We are ploesed to ay*, however, that the Ordor Number 10 remains In km, so fhr as the 8tato Courts are concerned, and prevents the present ruin of the State by the mnltitudlneus salts and judgments Impending over tho people for debts for negroes, and debts contracted during the war, and old debts duo upon' tho faith of property which has been annihilated by tho result* of tbe war,Gen. Siokt.ks, in his letter to Gen. Grant, just published, tnaVcs a very able defence of tj?e policy of his "Order Number 10, suspending. for tho present, impricouaieut for debt, and < suits for negro dobts, and the enforcement by execution of old dobts. Nothing could.be more reasonable and politic, wo think, than this ordor. There being no capital or money in tbe country, and at least four-fifths of the property whioh existed, at the tiniy tho debts were contracted, destroyed, a general soiling by execution, (threatened by certain creditors atl over tbe Stato,) would have been general ruin to both the debtor and creditor class. All creditors, forbearing and unforhcaring, might havo been forced by uncontrollable circumstances to see the property of tbe State, the land, brought into markot under sheriff sales. It would bo only necessary for one creditor in ton to bogin tho game of soiling, and almost universal ruin would ho the result, whilst tho State is in that political condition that no Capitalists froai abroad would invest "money in purchasing land among us, and wo have- none ] at homo able to do so. One creditor could not, cither, advance money to Par another in bid ding off property at sheriff's sales; so that the consequence must he, without the relief by Order No. 10, the grentor part of tho land of tho people of this Stats wrtmld go to pay coats. The proper!* would change hands withe. . benefitting any but a few speculators on ihi misfortunes of their fellow-men. Tho p'?or of till classes, nd having money enough to bid tho costs for losid, would not ho honrtUlod, and their proa >oct of obtaining laud hereafter materially lessened, IV, sco our worthy cotompornry of the jirleaton Courier, is inclined to rejoice in I tho hopo of rcmoviug Slay orders, aad consequently of oponing tho floodgates of sheriff talos in tho present horrible depression in C. uanoial mallors. Doe* the Courier also seo with satisfaction the proband# restoration of arrest and Imprisonment for debt? Is now tho tinio to turn tho sharp edges of the law upon the nnfbrtunato debtors of South Carolina, and to deprive them utterly of that " mercy in their woe," that almost only mercy from rule* which tho Order of General Sk ulks has afforded ? Shall we unchain and let looeo tho demons of coretonsness and shyiochism fur a season upon tho dowu-trodden population of South Carolina, and romand them back to arrest and imprisonment for the misfortune of debt, and yet complain of Radical govern, ment.

It is a littlo strango th.it thoro is ao many men anxious to have sheriff sales operating ia ail cases, nndcr all circumstances, utterly opposed to any relief laws of order, whilst they are crying out against confiscation and disfranchisement. Tboy would instantly pauperise the great majority uf the State, and transfer thuir land to strangers for a miserable trifle of costs, or little m?ro than costs of the executions, fur debts for tho negroes that the State and tho United States have taken away from tho purchasers, nod Cull it juatico and good government.

If the debtor bus a wife who bas inherited a little property or a form, our merciless South Carolina law drives her from that, and will leave her and her children to starve for the mi/fortunes of her husband, perhaps to pny a security debt or jtorcbanco a debt for an emancipated negro.
