NationalfttpttbUcan »A. 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. * [Communicated.

A religious paper, devoted to the interests of the Protestant Episcopal Church, is soon to be started in Macon, Ga. A Kentucky paper publishes extracts Irom the will ol the late Gov. lielm, of Kentucky, which shows that tho document consists partly of a disquisition on national politics. Church, the artist, Inis returned to Beirut from the deserted city of Petra, where he has gathered a portfolio of wjnderful sketches. He is going also to Palmyra. Bishop QuintarJ, ol Tennessee, writes a letter to the Southern Churchman, de nouncing a ball gotten up in his diocese for the benefit of a church. “Fairs, suppers, lotteries, balls, ami such abominations,” he says, “outrage the principles of Christianity.” “Diogenes,” alias Thomas Augustus Cur tis, the janitor of Bowdoin College, Maiuc, died last Saturday night of heart disease, lie was an eccentric character, and leaves a library of niue hundred volumes, and several thousand dollars in gold. This library, it is slated, will be likely to fall to the College. The people of Southwestern Utah, South western Nevada, and Northwestern Arizona, propose the organization of anew territory, to be known as Aztec. It will include the fertile valley of the Virgen. It is suggested that the capital be named Montezuma. In this region islound many relics ol the famous Aztec Empire. There is a rumor afloat in l’aris that the Sultan was so well pleased with his late visit to the western capitals that lie is going to repeat it this summer, and will probably extend bis trip to the United States, in the history of which he is said to take great interest. He likes to make sea voyages, and the distance will not deter him. 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 purchase a verdict in the impeachment trial is made by the correspondent of the I'roci- Jence Journal, of which Senator Anthony is the proprietor, who reports that on Tuesday “Robinson of Brooklyn” stood outside the Senate doors, and cried out that he would “giv© a thousand dollars for conviction—as it would defeat Grant.” During the target exercise of the French troops with the Cbassepot rifle, at Vincen nes, the other day, a spectator, placed at the line of distance fixed by the authorities as quite beyond the range of the fire, was struck by a Cbassepot bullet, which passed 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 dents found a ninn dead drunk in the streets. They put him in a carriage, shaved the priestly tonsure on his head, dressed him in the white robe of an Augustine monk, with sandals and a rosary,and delivered him at (he 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 seilles, hut it turned out that he was a dealer in ehesuuts from the Place Dauphino. Soi.ouox’s Tkmim.k Stii.i.

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. Pethoi.ki m V. Nasuy, I’. M., (wiclt is Postmaster,) 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 ?
