EDNKSDAY MORNING M«y *•, IBM
: F or President
Os thb Unitbd States:
ULYSSES S. GKAKT.
TUE SKUA TI OX.
The trying hour through which our
Government \* uow pawing, is a clear
inriioation that the approaching Presi.leu-
Lial election will he replete with vast inter
est* to the rights an.l liberties of man.
The Republican masses ot the nation have
brought onler out of confusion, justice out
of anarchy, ami in the face of all opposing
forces, reestablished the principle in practice
as in theory, that Man. no matter what his
nationality or what his color, stands upon
an equality with his fellow-man before the
law. This is the step of the in
the progress of nations, and lifts to the
foreground a constitutional government as
the one best calculated to secure the rights
ami the liberties of the citizen.
That portion of the people who have
been forced to yield respect to the nation's
authority, yet entertains the lingering hope
that they may be able to transfer the battle
of treason from the field of strife, and fight
it out on the line of legislation. To this
end they have already invoked the aid and
comfort of the Executive head ot the nation,
and induced him to inaugurate their move
ment, by openly setting at defiance tlic
laws of the people. The President has
accepted the bribe and opens the fight upon
the Congress of the nation by the lx>ld
assumption that no law is binding upon
him until he shall have set in judicial
judgment upon its merits; that none of
the nation’s officers shall be continued in
power it, in his immediate opinion, there
is cause for removal.
In this hour of trial, the patriot, the
statesman, and the Christian, should prove
a unit. No sacrifice should Ire considered
too onerous to Ire made, no treasure too
large to be paid, no work too laborious to
lie accomplished, that shall in any degree
tend to the final triumph of Republican
principles, and the success of the great
Union party of the Nation, by whom these
principles are now held in trust for those
who are to succeed them on the theatre of
human action.
EDUCA TED LEGISLATOR*.
The Batcsvillc (Ark.) Republican, re
marks :
There is one feature pertaining to the
General Assembly which is worthy of par
ticular note, viz: There is not a member
in either the Senate or the House of Repre
sentatives who cannot write bis own name
in a plain, legible hand I And we now
assert without fear of successful contradic
tion, tvecause we arc prepared to prove it,
that it is the first General Assembly ever
convened in Arkansas in which there were
not members who could not write their own
names.
Arnl yet Tory K»i Klu.T Dewoowy horn
abouts are making a great admiration at
the ignorance of the members elect, to all
the Legislatures of the Southern States. Os
our own knowledge, in ante helium times,
we could find in every Assembly that ever
met in Georgia men who could neither read
nor write! and men who were a disgrace to
themselves and their constituents. We say
tliis more in sorrow than in anger, for we
felt the disgrace as a native Georgian,
although wc have the consciousness of
knowing that never yet—with our experi
ence of over a fourth of a century in Geor
gia politics—have we ever voted for an
unlearned man for any office, we knowing
him to Ik* such, party or no party.
“ WHISKEY WELLS."
We are horrified to hear of the discovery
of a whiskey spring, near Nodaway, Mo.
The liquid flows from between two rocks,
and looks like highly colored brandy, hut it
tastes and smells like pure whiskey, and
has the same intoxicating effect. The local
paper in which we fiud an account of die
dreadful discovery, says that “ several law
yers, physicians and newspaper men were
preparing to go out yesterday morning to
test the discovery, but the aspect of rain
deterred them”—that is to say, they did not
wish to mix water with their whiskey The
supply from the spring or well is said to be
unlimited, and it is believed that other
springs will be discovered in the vicinity
till they are as abundant as oil wells in
Pennsylvania. We almost fear to make
these announcements in a New York
journal. We fear that our city will be
depopulated, and that there will he such a
rush to Nodaway that it will become the
metropolis of the country, while we lose
that commercial supremacy which has long
been our boast. We nrgg Congress to
investigate the matter—not too deeply, how
ever—and place a tax of at least *slo a
gallon on the products of all whiskey
springs.— N. Y. Timet.
Congress has anew subject for a bill, if
the above is true; but we cannot see how
they can levy a tax on Nature, with all the
fines and penalties attached thereto for
manufacturing whiskey illegally. Who’ll
foot the bill? The consumers of whiskey
under the Revenue laws as now under
stood, arc not compelled or required to
pay a tax for its consumption, only indi
rectly, and where they get the article from
the producer, who has not paid tiic tax,
and docs not add it to the price of the
article, they pay no tax. We would like
to know who Nature’s agent is in her
manuiacturing establishment, upon whom
the Revenue officers can pounce. Much an
enormous tax as ten Mian, as recom
mended by the Timet, w e apprehend would
require a cost to the Government of two
hundred per cent, to collect it. Let Nature
alone —water is bad enough in some quar
ter#—and the old Dame is only making an
effort to neutralize the bad effects of water
xlmight —furnishing a corrective in her
springs of whiskey pure and nnturnl.
“Am, the Dweni-'Y Patty.”—The stilus!
editors of Democratic journals claim for the
Democracy not only all the intellect and
stateinanship, hut all the refinement and
decency in manners, as welt ns all the
honesty and sobriety in morals.
It is the testimony of all great men, that
the more learned and wise men become, the
more they are impressed with their own
imperfections; and it is equally true that
fools are most noisy in their own praise. *

The people of Southwestern Utah, South

propose the organization of anew territory,
to be known as Aztec. It will include the

An exchange says that a hen has the
capacity of laying six hundred eggs, and
no more. Usually they lay a few the first
year; from three hundred and twcuty to
three hundred and seventy in the next
three years; and the rest from the fifth to
the ninth year, inclusive. The true economy,
therefore, is not to keep liens after their
fourth year.
The first definite charge of an offer to

During the target exercise of the French

through his hand and l lien entered his
groin. The new firearms, it would seem,
have a force of projection exceeding the
calculations of the military officers best
acquainted with the subject.
In a recent sermon Brigham Young lec
tured the Bishops of the Mormon t hurch
for their shortcomings. 11 Some of our
Bishops,” he said, “have made no improve
meats for eighteen years.” '1 he particular
fault of which he complained was that he
had asked the Bishops to sow a little rye to
make straw for hats, and they hadn't done
it. The general principle was that Bishops
ought “to make their lives, characters,
doings and sayings a fit example to the
people.” Brigham also told his hearers
that ‘if they were willing to receive the
true knowledge from heaven in regard to
their diet, they would cease eating swine’s
flesh.”
The London Star sums up the results of
the explosion at Clerkcnwtil prison as fol
lows : “By this diabolical act six persons
were killed outright; six more died from
its effects ; five more owe their deaths
indirectly to this means ; one young woman
is in a mad house; forty mothers were
prematurely confined, and twenty of their
children died ; others of their children are
dwarfed and unhealthy ; one mother is now
a raving maniac ; one hundred and twenty
persons were wounded and fifty went into
hospitals ; fifteen are permanently injured ;
besides £20,000 worth of damage to person
and property.”
The successor to Lord Brougham in his
title, is his brother, who comes in by a
special act. William, now the second Lord
Brougham, was born in 1795 ; has two sons,
the eldest in his thirtieth year; was highly
distinguished in the University of Cam
bridge,where he graduated in 1819 as senior
optime ; was called to the bar in 1822 ; was
M. P. for the borough of Southwark from
1891 to 1835; was soon after appointed to
the office of Master in Chancery, from which
•he retired years ago on a largo pension.
He inherited the family estate in Westmore
land, upon which stands Brougham Hall,
which was repaired and restored by the
late Lord.
The other evening in Paris, some stu

monastery of the order in ihc Rue d’Knfer.
The porter took him in, and the young men
were kindly thanked lor their charitable
trouble. The npxt morning the drunkard
woke in a cell, with a monk saying prayers
at his bedside, and ready to rebuke him lor
his misconduct. They supposed lie had
come from a branch of the order at Mar

The Impeachment of the I‘reeident—The
Reparations of the Martyr for the Com
in<j Event irhirh it Casting its Shadow
Before.
WAsm NtiTox, May 2, 1868.
The President is uv the opinion that ho
will be itnpeechcd, which opinion is shared
by his confidenehel friends! Indeed, Run*
dall fell onto his neck when he told him that
he hed come to the conelooshun, and romarkt
that wuz the first correct conelooshun he
lied come to sente lie hed bill President. Es
anything will stop it, it will be the speeches
which are delivered by the prosecooshun.
lie hez some hope that tho people, when
they see tho avalanshe uv words thnt he*
bin piled onto him, will hev their hearts
turned into pity, and that pily will in this, ez
in other matters, melt into love. But that’s
a thin reliance, and he knows it, and is,
therefore, preparing to leeve Washington.
He he/, nlreddy bid adoo to Mrs. Cobb.
They met mr the last time this morniu.
She wood hev accompanied him to Green
ville, but he sed : —“Nav.” To yoose the
words uv another—
“My fate it is too cold for thee, Mrs. Cobb
‘Twould chill tby deerest joy ;
I'd rather weep to see thee free, Mrs. Cobh,
Than keep thee to destroy.”
“Here wc part, I hev no longer the pard
uin power, or the disposal uv offices. Es
I should get to be Mayor uv Greenville,
wich is in tho state uv Tennessee, I mite
perchance, give yoo the disposal uv the one
polecee uv that anteek town, but alars '. lie
cood not afford to pay yoo euuff to keep yoo
in garters. No! no! Farewell ? I'm scoop
ed. A. Johnson's okkepashun’s gone.”
Mrs. Cobb wuz led out, bathed in tears.
1 am informed, however, that she is in com
fortable circumstances, hevcu bin ruther
savin doorin that halcyon period uv pardnin
rebels. She bled him handsome, and put
nothin by for a rainy day. I told the Pro
sident this, and he wuz visibly releeved. It
wuz segested by a council uv his friends,
that be shood return quietly and by the
neerest route, to which he assented. He
wood go, lie said unostentashusly and with
out display, to Greenville, by way uv Balti
more, Philadelphia, Noo York, Noo Haven,
(Conn.), Savannah, Mobeel, Noo Orleans,
Loois&ille, and Dubukc, lowa- “Write to
all my friends,” sed he, “and beg uv cm not
to offer me any ovaslicusor anything uv the
surt. I desire to glide into history ez a
martcr, (with a halo round my hed), wich
bowed meekly and uneomplaininly to the
behests uv the and dcst tyranny on the globe.
Tell cm that the most I desire is in the
larger cities proceshens, with approprit
moosio, banners and sich, to receeve me at
the eats and to eseort me to my hotel, and
a simple balcony from which to address my
fellow-citizens, that 1 may set their hearts
at rest by itshoorin uv em that I am ez
devoted to the constitooshen now ez ever,
and to tell cm how much 1 hev suffered in
their behalf. I want no wreaths, no guady
chaplets wove for me ; no illuminashens, no
nothin. I wood merely sejest that at each
place the percussion be headed by a tomb
—a mausoleum—on wheels, drawed by ten
black bosses, all clothed in mournin, the
tomb to bear the simple inscription, “Im
peachment, In this is buried Androo
Johnson, and witli him the constitooshen,
lite flag, and the liberties uv liis country,
which lie wood hev saved.” It might be
well to hev another follerin behind it, with
a wax Sgger uv Columby bus tin the mauso
leum, and his tin a wax figger uv me out uv
it, chiickin the constitooshen at me cz site
'loos it, flxclaimin tho while, “Rise, second
Washington—rise, step-father uv yor
country.” These little allegories wood
itiinlcate a great moral lesson, and wood
inspire the people with awe.
Randall objected. “Wat’s the yoose !” he
e<!. “Es I am in the carriage with yoo, and
I suppose I slid hev to see this thing out,
the Ablishnists will jeer and limit me, and
say, “Go up baldlicad !" The iascripshins
they will tali' at, and they won’t do our own
people eny good, for not one in ten kin read
em.”
Welles wuz in Invar of the mausoleum,
only lie wood hev u slight change. He wood
hev Columby supported by him, ez Neptoon,
the God uv the briny deep, puttin a wax
sceptre labelled “veto," in the hands uv the
wax I’resident, with the iuscripshen, “with
this he wood hev saved the Constistooshen.”
Randall wuz overpowered, but he did not
give up his pint. “Es yoo will go into the
wax Agger’s bizness, sed he, “I perpose that
wax figgera be made uv a family uv niggers,
with another wax ligger uv the President
regardin uv cm with a sorrowful look, with
this iuscripshen, 'How often wood 1 hev
gathered them ez a hen-hawk gatherelh
chickens, but they wood not” hut this
sejestion wuz tooled out to wunst.
‘ I hevdccidcd on this,” sed the President,
“1 she! not prevent the people from testifying
their devoshen to me and bearin witness to
my many virchoos. I hev already received
tenders uv percersions ez terribly e* armies
with banners. The Wood Tubs uv Ralti
tnore, the Killers of Philadelly, and the Ded
Rabbits uv Noo York hev all expressed a
desire to do me this honor. In Noo llaveu
the Noo Yorkers kin go ther to make the
percession, jist ez easy ez they went up ther
to vote our ticket in the spring, ez 1 shel not
be in two places the same day. In the
South, if the Confedrits I hev pardoned will
all turn out, the percessiotis will be miles in
length, and es they do not, the Ku Klux will
b« on hand.
Randall cautioned him not to count
double. “Yoo are probably aware,” sed he,
“that the Ku Klux is made up almost en
tirely uv the patriots yoo pardoned. Rut
that don't matter, yoo will still be ovalid to
yoor hart’s desire.” I hev correspondence.
Here is a letter from a prominent Noo Y’ork
Dimocrat: “Hev him come this way. The
nigger orfan asylum burnt in 1860 liez bin
rebilt, and the boys are achin for a chance
to go for it agin. His eomin wood stir up
our voters to some extent and help to swell
the majority for Seymour.”
Another one sez:
“I hev no objockshun to yoor funeral
percussion passin thro Noo Haven. I don’t
think it wood hurt us. It wood hev the
effeck uv gittin up some excitement, wich
possibly we cood turn to account in the fall
election. Rut it must be managed nicely.”
Another remarks:
“He lied better come to Richmond I
think. We cood git up a percession wicli
wood terrify the niggers and white loyal
ists, and possibly keep cm from ratifying
the constitooshen. I will make the speech,
and will say any good things uv Johnson
yoo may sejest, for 1 am an old man and
hev no further hopes for myself, and am
eonsekently reckliss.”
“1 hev,” said Raudnll, “others of similar
import from Noo Orlecns, Mobeel, Vjxburg
and Memphis.” The writers all manifest the
most ardent devoshen to
“I knowd they wood,” exclaimed ll.e
President. “I yit hev friends.”
“ —To the candidate uv the Noo York
Oonvcnsliun, and ez they all appear to
think that this percession thro the country
wood help cm, lam willin. 1 can stand it.
bike my Richmond frion<4 1 hev nothin to
hope for.”
The tour wuz dcsided upon, and the
President retired comparatively liapny.
The people must compliment him to his
face, ami he's a goio out in a sort uv a blaze
uv glory anyhow.

AGRICULTURAL.
Among the arrivals of choice fruits
advertised in Denver, are oranges and
onions. •
The capital invested iu fruit growing, of
which Chicago is the market, is $2,000,000;
amount of sales, $16,000,000.
Surface manuring and cultivation are for
grain, and, in particular, for fruit—buried
manure and deep culture, for vegetables.
California farui&s are beginning to learn
that they want grass more than wheat, or
wine, or silks, or gold.
A Horticultural Society has been organ
ized in Tennessee, and a fruit show is to be
held at Nashville in May, which is the first
fruit
In England a farmer does not work nor
own land—lie only hires it. He who does
the work is ucithcr farmer,, contractor, nor
proprietor.
1 lie Western Rural, ol Chicago, says that
the lumbermen of Northern Michigan have
cleared large farms in the wilderness to get
hay for their teams.
Wool buyers suy that farmers might as
reasonably expect to sell cobs for the same
price as corn, as grease and dirt for the
same price -as wool.
The grapes of which port wine is made
are pressed by a gang ot half naked labor
ers, dancing in the vat to the sound of the
fiddle. The result is a little more fiddling
anil a good deal of fuddling.
Anew variety of corn, the result of select
ing seed and of high culture, has originated
in Minnesota. The yield last year wa3 as
high as 137 bushels to the acre.
A fig tree cutting was carried in a vest
pocket to Ophir, California, where it was
planted and well cared for, anil in four
years it bore 265 figs, which were sold for
$42.-10.
Peat and coal beds are continually being
discovered through the prairie region.
Within sixty years as much wealth has been
discovered in the earth, as was on it in tho
time of Shakespeare.
It is discussed among tho English whether
the cheapest bread is to come from the
Russian serfs, recently emancipated, or from
our Western farmers, recently converted to
free trade doctrines.
The latest style of pie nic has been or
ganized at Rochester, called the Maple
Sugar May Party. The chief part of the
entertainment is to be warm sugar and
custard pie.
Dancing Without a Fiddler.—lt is
amusing to notice with what spasms South
ern ex-slaveholding editors catch at any
thing which may be turned against tho
black race. It would seem that the logic
of events would before long loosen the
scales on the eyes«f our Southern brethren.
For nearly naif a^century they have been
arguing that the colored man was not
originally intended for equality with the
white man ; that he occupies a position at
least one degree below in the scale of being,
and that he should pray a3 the anxious
infidel did, “O Lord, if there is a Lord, have
mercy on my soul, if I have a soul.” A
respectable journal in Savannah, Georgia,
has just made a desperate lunge at tho
statement .of a Paris anthroplogist, to the
effect that he thiuks there is no anatomical
resemblance between a man and a gorilla.
Os course this makes secession right, the
war a barbarism,vand Booth a hero, in the
ex slaveholding editorial columns. No
doubt these writers feel relief upon the
question of relationship between themselves
and the ape, a point upon which there
probably Has' been justifiable grounds for
misgiving. When will our “Southern
brethren” accept the situation, and learn
that they only make of themselves comic
exhibitions, by continuing to dance, un
mindful that the war broke down the fiddler ?
