Wo have received a copy of the above peri odical for January. It is a magazine of 40 pages, 8 vo. size. The matter is carefully prepared, and devoid of much of the clap trap that is usually found in magazines de voted tJ tbjii Roy$ art. Among the articles is a story ;e$tit!«d “KateiBoynton’s Mistake, ” written for *he- monthly. It is founded on that truly Masonio virtue. Cha rity,land is as fascinating as a ledger romance mid.ten times more instructive. The pub lisher says that he hopes by introducing a story of sucb a nature in each number, to make it “interesting to not only Masons, but to those members of the household who can not belong to the fraternity.” \Ji is published monthly by Theoph.G. Wadman, 30 Kilby street, Boston, Mass., at $2 50 per annum. An act repealing the law allowing negroes to the ! passenger railway can wag in definately postponed in the House of Repre sentatives of Puunoylvania, on the 20th inst., by a strict parly vote—all the Radicals for the negroes—all the Democrats for the white men. ttUB PuUiPKCTS OP IMFSAC11MRNT. Tim Charleston Mercury thinks there is very little probability of iinpeachmeut sob ceedlng in the Senate. “For ah act to be a crime or misdemeanor,” says the Mercury, **it must first be illegal, and second, an in tentional wrong. If there is any doubt as to either of these requirements, the accused must be acquitted. All doubts, according to criminal jurisprudence, must be in favor of the accused. Now, is there no reasonable doubt as to the ponstitmionaliiy of the Teu- ure-of-Office act? All the Presidents who have hitherto filled^the Presidential office, and every Senate which has co-opperaled with them, in filling the offices of the govern ment, have acted on President Johnson’s view of the constitution.” It must be borne in mind also that the Constitution requires that in the trial of the President on impeachment, the Clifef Jns- tics of the Supreme Court, not Ben Wade, must preside, the “Senators shall be on oath or affirmation,” and no couvictioi be had “without the concurrence thirds of the members present.” It is hard ly probable that two-thirds of even the pres ent Senate can be brought to vote “auder oath” for eviction of the President of high crime anamisdenieanor for attempting to administer the constitution as it has been administered from the foundation of the government. TUB PUB-imfiNT AND THE KEVOLl'* TlONARY BONUKESS. In another column we publish an interest ing sketch of a conversation between Presi dent Johnson and a newspaper correspon dent. from which it will be seeu that the President is calmly confident of the recti tude of his position. It^ is manifest from this interview fiiat the immoral of Secretary . Several partisan papers sustaining imr q . . , * j . - j, ' penchment, were sent to thu Clerk, to be Staaton has not been DrouiDtea bv a sudden • * The Legislature of Tennessee has passed a bill giving Brownlow the control of all the legal advertising in the State, to b# parceled outygccording to his will among Radical newspapers, without regard to the wishee or interest of the parties concerned. Recently the Washington Chronicle published a g<fir- emipent advertisement announcing the sale ofchoraes in Texas, for the first time on the day foj sale, and will be paid a good round sum of the same. This is an illustration of the manner in which the “Black Crook’ papers Will use the Treasury of Tennessee, under the bill just MfijMHii that State. “ There's hothin^pBeticking to a thing when you have once said it, especially lor a newspape? correspondent. The Tribune af fords a striking illustrating Iig Washington correspondent gave a very graphic anA de tailed account ot the doings and sayings of Mr. Pame, of Wihcousiu, of the Reconstruc tion Committee, on the subject of impeach meat, and repeated certain remarks said to ~ theeumade by Me. Bteveua. A. Paine fe House, denounced the entire statement fit me. The correspondent reiterated the report, and gave Mr. 8t$veus as the authority for it. Mr. FJieveus declared *he badgnever said anything of the sort to any human be ing. The correspondent repealed his belief that the sloj-y was true. Mr. Paine repeated its denial, and read written statements from every member of the Committee couflVmiug it. The correspondent still persists in de claring'that his informant sticks to tho origi nal stnfeinent. This is plucky, at all events.” —N. Y. Times. The Tribune is richly deserving of all the credit attributed to it by its protean cotem porary. If the Times would stick to its principles as well as the Tribune slieks to its lies, it would exert vastly more influence than it does. If the Tribune has one eardinal nal virtue, one distinguished dpRt more con spicuous than its talents for uttering false hood, it is its tenacity in sticking to its lies when told. On the other band tho Times is scarcely less conspicuous for its tergiversa tion and inconsistency. T6k New York World says it is generally understood in religious circles that Board of Presbyters who bad charge ot the trial of the Rev. Mr. Tyng have decided that be violated the canon in relation te paro chial ’jurisdiction, and that he should re ceive ' a public “admonition,” whioh is the mildest penalty provided in such cases. There is, however, a rumor that some of the members of the court will present a minorty report, which Yfill be based on the facts em" bodied in the defence of Mr. Tyug by Judge Fullerton. Perilous Journey of ▲ L?ttle Qikl. The Whitewater, (Wis.) “.Register,” 14th inst, says : A week or two ago, a little daughter of Dudley Griffin, of this place, eight years of age, reached here from Ireland, whence she had journeyed without eecort. There were friends with her on the vessel to New York, but they left her f -at Castle Garden, where she was fouud by the father of Mr. L. A Wiucheffier, of this place, and was by him., forwarded to-her parents here. She came through all right, and quite uncon hcu>tin that she had run any risk of being lost in the great metropolis. This is a voyage worth recordiug, on account ot its#novelty. Mr. William DeWolf, we believe, wrote to * Mr. Winchester to be on the lookout for such a package, and so, probably, saved the girl much .trouble. .Tim New Secretary of War.---The Ad jutant General, wig> was appointed Secretary of War ad interim by Mr. Johnson, is Gen eral Lorenzo Thomas, one of the oldest offl cers in the army, having reached his sixty eighth year. He is a native of Delaware, and entered the Fourth Infantry as second lieutenant on tbe 1st July, 1823. At the be ginning of the late war, being regarded as a Copperhead, be was not trusted with any command; but in 1864 he was deputed to the Southwest to organize a body of troops. Ho was efficient in this returned apparently so mueh of a Radical that the party quite took to him. Latterly, however, the old geutleman lias shown e leaning to Mr. Jobupou’s views, aad was by him restored to tbe post of Adjutant Gene ral, from which Mr. Lincoln transferred him, the Radicals say, on account of ineompe- tency; others say, of his Democratic prin ciples'. TtfK Murybind Legislature is in a slate of eeciiemeofitypr the action ef the Senate in refusing to admit Phillip R. Thomas. Lead ing members of the Legislature met in se cret caucus and -.resolved to re-elect Mr. Thomas and scndjptn a second time to the Senate, to present his credentials and de mand admissiodl ^ * The.

Mr. Johnson has not takon this important step without a careful survey of the circurn stances justifying it, and of hispwn liability to eonwqucuces. Hence hia calm and almost indifferent confidence in view of 1kg extreme measure resorted to by his enemies. He evidently has bo fears of impeachment, while his confidence in the suppprt of the people in whatever emergency may arise,can only be founded on the confirmed gejf- consciousneta of the legality of bis act^Sd the moral rectitude of his purposes. Tne latter from General tiherman, intro duced in this conversation; fully commits both Sherman and Grant jgaiust tho fitness of Stanton's remaining in the War Depart ment in defiance of the P&ident. BREVET PROUOVlOSt GOING A BEG- GlIG-WHAl'fiOCS IT HKAN-f From our noon telegram' from WasJnng- ton it apt-art not only that the army officers, according to Gen. Grant arq a unit in buck ing up Congress, and Stanton, but that Gen. Thomas, iiks Gen. Sherman, declines the honorary promotion tendered him By the President. These facts are significant, and illustrate more strikingly than any event that has ever ocourred in the history of the country, what was so earnestly apprehended by the founders of the Republic—the dan ger of standing armies to free government. It was the army of the Jacobinical -Directory that destroyed ojfil government in France,- the army of the long Parliament that tram pled down British liberty. It is tbe Army of the Union that now backs up the Radi cal Congress in its effort to overthrow tbe Constitution of ths Republic. Is Gen. Grant to be the Cromwell of oar lime ? If so, has he the ability to fill tbe role ? * We think President Johnson has been un wise in teudoring the rejected brevet promo tions without assurance of their acceptance, at least in the last instance. The tender of these promotions has given rise to alarms and suspicious among his enemies, while their rejection has disappointed and dis couraged his friends. The shyness of the appointees will be attributed to distrust on Ibeir port, and regarded as evidence of weakness on the #art of the President. If these promotions were made in the ordinaty administration of* army affairs, as qpospii- ments to distinguished merit, why 'were they dgplined? It there w« a necessity/or them in ttre present emergency of*political affairs, they shqjprtd tinvff'bean bestowed it proper hi^jgggfWith a surety of their ac name we demihd that the Slnats for the appearance of said Andrew Johnson to .answer to said impeachitihnt.'’ ^ Mr. Wade said the Senate would take or der in the premises.

The bill making the majority to confirm' the Constitution, and allowing registered ■voters to vote anywhere in a State after ten days’residence, on certificate, affidavit, or other satisfactory evidence of bavmg been registered, was passed—ayes, 28ffi nays, 6.

THIS NSW THE YORK HERALD IN WIN D. The Herald has a- long doable leaded leader on the state of affairs ia Washington, in which it does not sustain its reputation as a reliable wealhereoek, pointing the direc tion of the political breeze. The Hentid it more non-committal than usual, being evi deotly in doubt as to whether tbe President or OoDgress will triumph. After staling the cum generally and venturing many vigue speculations, keeping its rear well open, so that It may declare for the President or Con gress m the proper time, the editor thus con eludes:—“The case at Washington as it now stands is simply this: if the Radicals fail to act promptly aud decisively they are gone; if they attempt, to act decisively they may fail; aud from their failure Andrew Johnson may eut out all competitors aud walk over the broken fragments of the Republican party into the next Presidency. The moral of the Herald’s article is well illustrated in the following paragraph which which we clip from tbe same paper Gehbbal Bhkbman Kebps Near Shore.— General Sherman appeals to the President to let him stay in Missouri, because his services are needed there, and he wants to keep out ot the political complications of the capital He knows what to do in Missouri, but it ia not yet so svident who may win in Wash ington ; bat a man may commit the blunder of taking the wrong side. When the “Herald and Gen. Sherman keep near shore ” fearing they “ may com. mit the blunder of taking the wrong side,” ordinary people may well be cautious in forming opinions as to tbe probable result of tbe conflict between King aud Parliament.

Tho-form of goverbmeut meditated wilknot he developed until- the revolntion- isis have full possession of tbe military pow er. As soon as they elect Grant the mask will be thrown off, if it can properly be said that there is anv mask at all now. Tbal tbe present form or government will last a year after another success of the Radicals, no men of intelligence at the metropolis, of either party would have ihe effrontery to assume. The subterfuges resorted to, to justify Che naked usurpations daily essayed are laughed at by,the revolutionists themselves, who no longer, in this respect, treat (heir opponents in debate with decency.— Washington Letter, BaltimoH Gazette.
