They all unite in demanding a complete reorganization of the Cabinet.,

probable that they will continue to clamor for Cabinet changes in the hope that some copperhead will be placed at the head of at least one Department of the Government. As it now is, the Democrats have gained nothing by their endorsement of Johnson, and, what is more, they never wiil. The Senate will never consent that a treason sympathizer shall have charge of any portfolio of tho Government. Upon this point there can be no doubt and we notice from the latest Washington advices that the Johnson men are already beginning to acknowledge that the removal of Mr. Stanton was an egregious blunder, and that he will surely be reinstated. So it has been throughout. Whenever Mr. Johnson has attempted to strike a bl iw at his euemies he has succeeded only in inflicLing an injury upon himself.

THK Republican Stato Convention that |iiiet a few weeks ago at Columbia, South Carolina, made the free school system the first plank in its platform. This -showed thai the loyal element, the majority of which is composed of negroes, appreciate keenly the importance of education. But the roport made since then to the Feed men's Bureau, by Mr. Tomlinson, the Superintendent of Education in that State,is still more to the point.

President Johnson, who neither reade or write until his wife taught him, was exceptional only in haying tho good .fortune and energy to eventnajly surmount the ignorance of hi/younge? days. We trust that before inaliy years the children of the South will have the same school advantage* as thoso now enjoyed,by the young at the North.

THK immense influx of German immigrants into tho United States is, with great plausibility, explained os arising from the fet»rs of tho Prussian people that their King, William III, will become more ancTmore involved in the politica changes now going on in Europe As a necessary consequence, tho Prussian arm\ will have to he largely expanded, and the claims of tho Conscription upon the time the peasantry will become oppressively onerous. Hence the increased emigration. Ambitio lays fearful burdens on tho bucks of any people, and the desire of i'ms^ia to put herself at tho head of the Coutinental nations, is depriving her of an industrious, economical class of citizens, while we are gaining skilled laborers to fill the vacancies created by losses in the Slaveholders' Keballion. Notwithstanding the vociferous outcries of Pcn dlclou, Vallandigham, and other Copperhead orators, demanding the repudiation of our National debt, in consequence of tho heavy taxation, these hard working farmor? rind mechanics, not fearing the burdens of a Republican Government, are flocking in great numbers to the Fir Wes', which they will soon mako bloom and blossom like the rose.

be sure to operate unfavorably upon both races. Now, the Superintendent questions whether a man can be found in the State, who, whatever his previous opinion may have been, and his privateconviction may still be, is not publicly in favor of educating them.

Hero we have two most encouraging educational facts, and, we trust, they would hold goed for the South generally. Upon this point Mr. Tomlinson makes some statements which fully confirm this belief. The only objection which he mentions is the fear entertained by many that tho Yankee school teachers will sow the seeds ol discord between the two races.— There is no ground whatever Mr. Tomlinson tells us, for this apprehension. We hope the teachers ale careful to inculcate loyalty to the Government and subordi. nation to the Constitution, but partisan politics ought not to be introdnced into the school room, whether at the North or *at the South.

—The-reporte from Washington for days past have propared the country to expect that the President- would remove Gen. SSKBLDAH from the command of the Fifth Military District. The telegraphic columns, elsewhere in this issue, announce the fact that SHERIDAN was removed on yesterday from his former command and assigned to that previously held by Gen. HANCOCK. Gen. THOMAS goes to Louisiana instead of SHERIDAN, and HANCOCK is transferred to Gen. THOMAS' former place. These changes in themselves amount to very little. They are, abstractly considered, mere transfers of army officers from one command to another and such changes are usually of but little public interest. In the present condition of public affairs, however, the transfer of

Gen. SHERIDAN assumes a significance of considerable importance. This officer had been making a sturdy and relentless opposition to all the schemes of the unreconstructed rebels in his military divisions. He had insisted on loyalty aud decency as qualifications for holding office,"'' and had decapitated scores of blatant rebels for possessing neither

Of thesb qualities, and put honest men in their places. Conceiving that Congress had vested him with certain powers, General SHERIDAN did not scruple to use them freely for the good of the country, notwithstanding President JOHNSON'S repeated intimations that he should not do eo. For using the powers i^iven him by Congress for the welfare of his command JOHNSON removes him, thus testifying to the country his disapproval of his course. The act of the President in transferring General SHERIDAN is but a continuation of the high handed policy inaugurated by him in tbe suspension of Secretary STANTON and is part of the system of open warfare against Congress which he has totally adopted. JOHNSOI* is fast growing deepen rate, aud is determined to override every body who opposes his arbitrary will and who is disposed to make his rebel friends act properly and obey the laws ©f the land. The removal of STANTON and

SHERIDAN will do neither himself or his administration any good. Both a nk so low in public estimation that they can never be resurrected, and the people are prepared for any/exercise of arbitrary power in aid of the rebels. The President appears to be throwing down the gaunt let to Congress and seeking an open and direct collision of power. He may as well be careful. Time will show how he will come out. We shall see what wc shall

THK Agricultural Department at W asbington seems to have moro enimies than friends. Frequent complaints are mado of its uselessness by members of Congress, and yet it survives all attacks. It is progressive, too. First it started with tho gathering of statistics then it beeamo a distributor of seeds next it went into floriculture, and proved its worth to members of Congress by the production of beautiful

boquets.

Its last achievement is

the establishment of a model farm. Exactly what is to be produced on this national plantation does not seem to be clearly understood. We suppose that if it is to bo of use it will be devoted to the trial of foreign seeds, roots and trees, so as to determine whether they can be easily grown in this country, and what tho advantage will be in case of success. Per* haps the farm may be put to some good use in tb direction, but the fear will be, that it Jibe a favorite place for fancy experiments—costly, perhaps, and worth but little, if successfull. As there is to be anew administration in that department, it is hoped that the appointee will be a practical agriculturalist, who will do as little visionary farming as possible, and endeavor to make bis farm really one of practical usefulness.

THE railroad line between the Missouri River and the Pacific Ocean grows apace from both ends, and gives promise of an earlier completion than the most sanguine of its projectors had anticipated. Tho Eastern forks are rapidly pushing their way to tho outlying hills' of tho Rocky Mountain chain and lato advices from the Pacific Coast represent the main-stem liue as being at the summit of the Sierra Nevada, witn only tbin wall of granite to be cleared away, when the locomotive can pass regularly and rapidly from "the waters ol the Pacific to the Great Salt Basin. This is an important achievement, since it disposes of the most cousiderable impediment on the Western half of the Route. To hew and blast the road-bed over tins one hundred and fifty miles of mountain section is represented to be a greater undertaking than to prepare for the rails tho six hundred and fifty miles which lie eHst of it. By the use of the most approvod engineering resources, a liberal command of cheap and efficient Chinese laborers, together with a large .expenditure of gunpowder and nitroglycerine' the work has been accomplished and it now seems probable that the year 1870 may witness the completion of the line from New York to San Francis co.

MR. DAVID A. WxLLS,the Special Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who furnishes the facts, and not a few of the fancies, which are dwelt upon by political economists, is at present iu Europe, where he is investigating the systems of taxation and revenue which there prevail.— He has been well received, it is assertedt and will come back with such a budget of information as will make his next report, truly formidable. He has had the opportunity of studying the foreign systems at the headquarters of the revenue in various countries, ahd has been made acquainted itb tho ins and outs of excises, duties, and, we presume, smuggling. He has also been introduced into the industrial establishments of France, England, and Belgium, and beon allowed to inspect whatever he would, and has beon furnished with every needful explanation.Armed with an immense quantity of in* formation, ho will be ready to treat Congress and tho country, during the next session, with a prodigious volume, in which the subject of taxing and being taxed, of raising money and spending it, of getting honest officials and detecting the dishonest, will be exhaustively treated. If, from the bewildering mass, Mr. WELLS will be enabled to extract something practical, which will repay him fcr his trouble, the country will be satisfied. Theoretically there would seem to bo advantage in his embassy. Practically, we must wait the test.

Neither do they undervalue it, and declare that it was sold too cheaply^ Oa the contrary, they are- disposed to assert that it was a fair transaction on both sides, and that moneys worth was ex changed for money. But, nevertheless, in parting with this territory they perceive an advantage to themselves, whilst they recognize that we will also be benefitted. The Journal of St. Petersburg says that in looking at the matter seme attention is to be given to ulterior .consequences. Considering the matter in all its aspects this paper says it is a transac^ "tion of reciprocal advantage, which will "probably result in a profitable reaction "upon tho commerce of our' (Rossiafi) "ports in Eastern Siberia in-'/giVtog 6 "now value to possessions' which we "have not been able

"of the two contracting parties in tho "Pacific Ocean." & V. This shows a belief that, in making the sale, Russia" was not unmindful of her own interests and dapatflt^." While the United States have the facility'df attracting emigrants from all parts of the earth, and have also a reetleps population,: always eager to engage in new enterprises, Russia has no «uch advantages. Emigrants never think of going to her shores, and for her increase she must depend upon her own population. The United States, however, are filled with the enterprising of all nations, and grow .rapidly because their institutions insure the largest measure of liberty. In the possession of Russia, tho Territory- Alaska, _in twenty voars from this time would differ little from what it is now but in the hands of the United States,it will become a thriving, well-peopled* State._ JJetween the now owners and their Russian, neighbors on tho opposite coast there will be sympathy and agreement,..and puch trade as will be for the benefit oT.N6rth»6aBtef0

Russia, and insure to the enterprise of that people useful commercial friends. These are considerations wellworthy of the Russian Government, and they, doubtless, had much to do *ith the determinatiow of the Czar to sell the territory.

RAILROAD CO.

THEIR FIRST M0LTGAGIS BONDS

As an Investment.

The rapid progress ofthe Union Pacific Railroad, •ow building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming, with its western connections, an unbro ken line acroes the continent, attracts attention to the valne of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offer to the public. Tbe first question aaked by prudent investors is, "Are theae

bonds

secure?" Next, "Are they a profitable in vestment To reply in brief: 1st. The early completion of the whole great line to the Pacific is as certain as any future busi ness evunt can be. The Government grant of over twonty million acr a of land and fifty million dollar? in its own bonds practically guarantees it Or.c fourth of tho work is already done, and the tr.ick continoee to be laid at the rate of two miles a dny. 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bends are issued upon what promises to bo one of the most profitable linos of railroad in tho country. For many years it must be the only lino conuocting tho Atlantic and PaciSc and being without competition, it can maintain remunerative rates. ££3d. -i'25milesof this oad a-e finished and fully equipped with dspois, locomotives, cars, Ac., and two trains ar« daily running each way. The materials for tho remiinlag Si i^ilos to tho eastern base of the Rocky Mountains are on band, and 1 is under contract to bo dono La September. 4th.

Pacific Railroad bonds can

Gt:. Thoir amourt is st'ictly limited by law to a sum equal to what is granted by tho U. S. Government, aud for which it tikes a

its security. This amount upon tho first 617 miles west from Omaha is only 815,000 per mile. 7th. Tt»e faot that tho U. S. Government considera'a second lion npon tho road a good investment, and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders tho country havo atrestdy paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which is to them a third lien,) may well inspire confidence in a first lien. 8th. Although it is not claimed that there can be any tetter securities than Governments, thero .tre partiov who consider a first mortgage upon such a property as this tho very best security in the world, and who sell their Governments to reInvest in these bonds—thus securing a grrater iutrost. 9th. As thj Union Pacific Railrua'l bonds are offered for the present at 90 cents ou tho dollar and accrued interest, they aro tho cheapest iu the market, boiDg more than 16 per cent, less than U. S. Stocks. 10th. At tho current rato of premium on gold they pay
