What tyranny has President Johnson
aommlVed? 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.

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

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

To counteract their power, or even their

by evoking the most august powers of the
constitution. What is this, but. tyranny

Stay Lawa?Gta Blokltt,Order Vo. lO.
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. Wo maintain that tho nn*tnj/cd operation
and enforcement of tho old debtor and
i. , r ikl>
would bomoat nmrrcilcss and opprossi7o thing;
in its immediate efTi-els mnro ruinnns to the
country than Stephk vs* mihl crm/l*ctttion. 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,

and tho United States have taken away from

Negroes, Dank paper, Bank Stocks, Rnilro td
Blocks, Ac, Ac., and then, if he has a little
land left, to tako that away for almoet literally
nothing, and wind up by imprisoning the
debtor. 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

targe of that pmporty for you T Yon
ill surely reply, No I wo. would not.?
?n you, then, wonder that most serious obotion

Hon. J. S. Murray was then lalrodaeed, and ^
in an able manner explained the object of the
Government, and demonstrated the necetelty
for a stable Qorernment at this time. Be
then gave a brief history of the introduction
of slavery, and of the oontesta to which it led.
Ilavlng remarked that all were elthsti OT a
common country, that Qod bad east Ohr let
together, end that we must lire together,
either as friends or enemies, he then'Warned
the eelored people ngalnet emissaries from the
North, whose motives were selftsb. and whose
designs are destructive of their beet iatereets.
He also erged them not to identify tbuac
selves with any party ; shewed that the Roe
pnblicao party discriminated in favor of White
labor, by lioavily taxing cotton, wbleh Was
unjust and oppressive. The speaker explained
thoir civil end political rights, and daslesed
that when these were secured to them, their
destiny would be in tbeir own hands, nhd that
with industry, economy, education and mode*
rut ion, a bright career was before thorn |.1>ttt
If they recklessly made the white man an enemy,
nnd brought abont a oonflict of rscoo, fhotl
destruction was certain.
Hon. J. L. Orr was than introduced, and.

and vote for a Convention, ne It Wis fbliy
nnd madness to attempt to deibnt that object.
There were 90,000 negro, voters against M.OOO
white, nnd as the Convention would look to
the interest of the black man, it oould not be
oxpvctud that ooe of them would vote against
it. He then admonished the freed men that
' they must be industrious and save their moo1
cy, and rominded them that if they attempted
oppression of the whites now, while la the
' majority, it might he visited upon thete It the
future, when the balance of power Would be
different, ns no more negroes were to be
I brought to this country. He disabused tbeir
I minds of the idea that they would obtain
, lands from the Government, and shewed that
, this was not even desirable upon their pert.?
r The Governor prevented every phee* of the
' issues before the people, with great feroe aad
Ability, to the satisfaction of hi* hlirm. W?
