THE CONSTITUTION AIjIST
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1875.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
The reception of Hon. Andrew John
son as a Senator from Tennessee has
been very cordial indeed. \N ith the
exception of Conkling and Sherman,
all of his old enemies and impeachers
have greeted him with an effusion,
which, whether crocodile or genuine,
has melted the toughness of the man
who was expected “to make Rome
howl.” There seems to be a studied
plan of conciliation on the part of the
Republican leaders and journals, and,
so far, it has warmed Mr. Johnson s
heart, as cocktail before breakfast puts
his stomach in a generous glow. The
adroit and diplomatic New York Times
speculates upon this remarkable change
of affairs, and admits that it is not re
served for many public men to ex
change expensive bouquets for whole
sale mud-pelting, and the refinements
of courtesy for blackguardism and
abuse. Andrew Johnson denounced as
a traitor and a rascal by the Republi
can politicians and newspapers, and
Andrew Johnson smothered with
flowers of exquisite perfume and com
pliments of honeyed significance, are
certainly two widely different person
ages in a dramatic point of view. Con
sidering that the whirligig of time has
indeed brought revenges to the ex-
President, the New York editor wheels
about and puts the case gracefully
thus:
Do not the people begin to suspect that,
after all, the much-abused Andy Johnson
was not so very far wrong in his opinions
about the duties of the Government and the
limits of the Constitution 2 His “ policy,”
which was so ridiculed and caricatured —
what was it, after all ? Read his annual
messages and his veto messages to-day,
and there will be found very little that is
“dangerous to public liberties” in them.
Andrew Johnson made his sacrifices for
the Union in its dark days—few of his as
sailants could or would have made so many.
When the history of the reconstruction
period comes to be written, his share in it
will assuredly not be described by the im
partial historian in terms which wore com
mon enough seven years ago. But what
would Ben Wad£, that “ fiery war-horse,”
and Mr. Sumner, have said could they
have witnessed the reception accorded to
Mr. Johnson yesterday ? Mr. Wade per
haps will tell us—as for the opinion of Mr.
Sumner, it can only be faintly imagined.
The fault committed by Andrew
Johnson was not in devotion to the
Union before secession, but his power
ful and invaluable assistance tp the
Lincoln and Seward abolition fanatics
after the inauguration of war and after
the mask had fallen from the face of
the modern Mokanna. Not only did he
cling to that ruinous and despotic
party, but actually accepted office at
its hands and attached himself to its
administration. By that act he betray
ed the white working classes and helped
more than any other man to fasten
upon this country the money oligarchy
and the race-unity demagogues and
conspirators who have brought Con
stitutional liberty to the brinkof •des
truction and made the rich richer,
while the pool have grown poorer.
This was the crowning guilt of the
man and all of his subsequent errors
flowed from it as naturally as water
constructive murder and to paving the
way for Grant and the military. As
the Day Book puts it, “when General
Lee surrendered, Mr. Johnson, as Presi
dent, had only to withdraw the army,
and the secession ordinances revoked,
the Union would have been restored in
all its original beneficence and grandeur;
but instead, he ordered his armies to
overthrow and disperse the governments
of eleven States, and then appointing
Governors and ordering conventions to
assemble, went through the hideous farce
of ‘ reconstructing ’ the Constitution /”
The Radicals who made use of him
originally for their dire purposes, and,
then, in the day of his repentance,
sought to fling him into the gutter,
which he loudly boasts of as his birth
place, are now honeyfugling the vain
and soft-hearted politician with some
evidences of success. We do not like
him over much. He has been a consum
mate enemy to mankind and especially
to his country ; but he has striven of
late to undo much that he did of evil,
and so, as Mrs. Moulton says, with re
gard to the unhappy Beecher, the bit
terest enemies of Johnson in the South
will no doubt be willing to “ give the
old man another chance.”
Medical Education. —President DAyis,
of the Cincinnati Medical College,
makes, according to the report of the
Gazette, the grave declaration that me
dical culture has not kept pace with
general knowledge ; that the standard
of medical education is not as high to
day as it was when the Ohio Medical
was founded, nor as it was a century
ago ; that persons are admitted to our
medical colleges without thorough ru
dimentary or collegiate education, and
without any preparatory discipline by
methods of study for such a severe
course; that the student is degraded
by “ the multiciplicity of medical col
leges, low fees, and the false notion
that numbers, not scholarship, are the
criterions of success that even the
prescribed course is not always adhered
to ; that colleges have granted diplomas
to those who never heard a lecture
within then! ; that men are graduated
every year who should be remanded to
the corn fields.
Nasal. —We find among the Court
Records of a New York paper the fol
lowing singular case:
Mrs. William Pluntz, of Albany, sep
arated from her husband after only two
weeks of her wedlock, because he snored
so loudly that she could not sleep. Her
plea before the court was “ cruelty to the
sox.” The court could not help her out of
her trouble, but she finally prevailed upon
her husband to give her SIOO and release
her, and she went her way.
We know a man in South Carolina
who snores so prodigiously that he
created an alarm in camp during the
war, and whenever he stops over
night at a friend’s house the shingles
on the roof have to be re-set. And yet
this man is happily married, and his
good spouse would not leave him for
$100,000,000.
THE SPRING TIfcADE.
The New York papers are discours
ing of the Spring trade. The Bulletin
says •
In the dry goods trade a hopeful feeling
prevails, and the weight of opinion indi
cates a fair and safe business. The condi
tion of the country has not yet improved
sufficiently to justify hopes of a very large
business. The package trade in staple cot
ton and Woolen productions, quite active in
January, became sluggish in February,and
ruled comparatively quiet in consequence
of diminished production at the mills,
short water supply, and difficulties attend
ing the receipts and shipment of goods.
The commission merchants and job
bers consider trade as generally sound.
The Western trade has opened prom
isingly, but not so the Southern and
Southwestern custom. On this point
the Bulletin reports much discourage
ment, and adds :
A large volume of business is not ex
pected as long as the weather remains as it
is at present. It is asserted that at the South
and Southwest the people have no money,
and therefore they are unable to buy goods
of any kind; and as the largest domestic
demand from New York comes from these
points, it is not thought the regular trade
will open for at least a month yet.
In hardware the dealers are repre
sented as expecting a steady distribu
tion of staple articles. They declare
that values are lower than two years
ago, the stocks in the interior are re
duced and in some sections almost
exhausted, and it is reasonable to ex
pect that jobbers and retailers will
soon commence to replenish.
In the grocery line matters are ex
pected to improve when the weather
becomes more settled.
In the tobacco trade no material in
crease of business is looked for. The
recent imposition of an additional tax
seems to have deadened instead of en
livening trade.
The main reliance for more activity
in all circles of business, at the great
centres of supply, is a cessation of the
horrible and inclement weather which
has lasted for two months to the
disgust of all persous save those
of a saintly disposition. losing its
calculation upon a change for the
better in this respect, the Times thus
speculates:
The general conditions of the times are
favorable enough. Old stocks in the hands
of country dealers must be getting pretty
low, and a week of sunshine would set
most people to the work of touching up
their houses and replenishing their ward
robes. The stock market is rising, and,
however much we may sometimes abuse
the stock market, it is generally an unfad
ing barometer of the state of trade.
With the adjournment of Congress
and the possible adjournment of rain,
snow, sleet, freshets, etc., etc., it is most
devoutly to be hoped that business
will Income more lively than it has
been.
Sugar.— The sugar crop of Louisiana
promises a splendid yield. One plant
er, John Burnside, made, l ist season,
4,180 hogsheads of clarified sugar and
7,500 barrels of molasses. The grand
total for which this crop sold is more
than $500,000.
A Mistake. —The New York Times,
which is seeking to consolidate the Re
publican party on anew platform of
kindness to the South, thinks the Civil
■* i
the way of that scheme.
Schenck. —According to London cor
respondents, Gen. Schenck, American
Minister to Great Britain, has a mono
mania on the subject of draw poker
and is looked upon as an epitome of
American life.

Post Poads.
Alexander White, the member of
Congress at Large, from Alabama, will

torney Geneial.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
A Republics,n Victory Anticipated—
One Demo sratic Congressman Con
ceded.
Boston, March 9. —Dispatches from
New Hampshire up to this hour indi
cate an unusually large vote by each
party and a possible Republican vic
tory, through the Prohibition vote,
which is very generally being cast for
the Republican nominees. The Re
publicans already claim the Governor
and the Second and Third Congres
sional Districts. The election of Frank
Jones, Democrat, Congressional candi
date in the I'irst District, is conceded
by the Republicans.
Concord, March 9.— Ninety-five towns
give Cheney (Republican), 14,762 ; Rob
ertson (Democrat), 13,937 ; White (Pro
hibitionist) and scattering, 244. These
towns last year gave McCutchins (Re
publican), 12,739; Weston (Democrat),
13,083 ; Blackman, (Prohibitionist) and
scattering, 785 ; which is a net gain for
Cheney of 1.711.
Portsmouth, N. H., March 9.—The
First District has gone Democratic by
an increased majority. Jones has a
majority there of 100 against a Demo
cratic major ty of li last year. A Con
cord dispatch from a Republican source
says the news of a Republican victory
is confirmed beyond doubt and jubila
tions have begun everywhere. Cheney’s
majority is probably small. The Leg
islature is Republican by a good work
ing majority It is known that Jones,
Democrat, is elected in the First Dis
trict, amlßhijr Republican, in the Third
District; ifeEt, his opponent, running be
hind his ticket. The contest is close
in the Second District. The Monitor
says that returns received this evening
indicate beyond a peradventuro that
the Republican party has won
a triumph, even if it has not a clean
sweep, and has undoubtedly elected
Mr. Cheney on the popular vote and
carried the House by an overwhelming
majority, and the Senate two to one.
Returns from 49 towns give Cheney
(Rep.) 7,686 ; Roberts (Dem.), 7,715;
White (Prphib.), 149 ; scattering, 3.
These towns last year gave McCut
chins (Rep.), 6,581; Weston (Dem.),
7,160; Blackman (Prohib.) and scatter
ing, 503. A Republican gain of 902.
The Republican State Committee are
confident that they have carried .the
State. The indications are that the Re
publicans diave elected their Governor
and carried the Senate and House of
Representatives. Wonderful Republi
can gains are reported from almost
every section of the State. The Demo
crats are reticent as to the result, but
are confident that further returns will
elect their Governor and possibly Bell,
their Congressional candidate in the
Second District.
Sufficient returns have already come
in to ensure, beyond all doubt, a
sweeping victory for the Republicans.
During the evening the several news
paper offices and the Republican head
quarters have been crowded with peo
ple seeking information. All the news
obtained was of the same general char
acter, showing victories for the Repub
licans and Losses for the Democrats.
Not much excitement was manifested
in the streets —those interested having
crowded into the several offices, where
and congratulations.
The rooms occupied by the State
Committee of both parties have been
opened all the evening. That of the
Republicans has been filled with an en
thusiastic crowd, while the visitors at
thG Democratic headquarters have
been few in number. The Republicans
held a meeting in Rumford Hall, where
congratulatory speeches were made by
several citizens. The Republicans
claim that they have elected Cheney
Governor by the people, and all three
Congressmen, and that they have a ma
jority of from thirty to forty in the
Legislature; also a majority in the
Senate, as the returns already show
the election ot 7 Senators.
NEW YORK.
The New Hampshire Campaign.
New York, March 9.—A special
dispatch to the Times, from Concord,
N. H., says the campaign ended last
night with great meetings in the larger
citie3 of the State, held by both parties.
Both partk s show by their canvasses
that the State is sure, and it is impos
sible to predict the result. There can
be no doubt that both parties are in a
better condition than ever before. The
Prohibitionists are scarcely heard of,
and the feelings is that they will very
generally vote with the Republicans.
About Congressmen there is little talk,
the interest being centered in the Gu
bernatorial contest. It is thought the
First District will be carried easy by
the Republicans. The Second District
will be saved by a small majority, and
the Third will go for a Democrat. The
excitement over the naturalizement
frauds is great. Yesterday two arrests
were made.
Creation of Carninals—The Arch
bishop of New York a Cardinal.
A special cable dispatch from Rome
to the New York Freeman's Journal
announces that at a pro-consistory to
be held on Monday next, March 15th,
Archbishop McCloskey, of New York ;
Monsignors Ledeehowski, Archbishop
of Posen and Gniesen, in Prussia;
Deschamps, Mecklen and
Primate of Belgium ; Archbishop Man
ning, of Westminster, and Monsignors
Bartollni and Giannelli, of the Roman
Court, will be created Cardinals.
Aid to the Washington Light In
fantry of Charleston, S. C.
Efforts which are making by mem
bers of the First and Second Divisions
of the National Guard of this State to
assist the Washington Light Infantry
of Charleston, S. C., in raising funds
for the benefit of the families of their
deceased comrades are meeting with
gratifying success.
FLASHES.
The standing committee of the Dio
cese of Mississippi refuse to confirm

Montreal, March 9. — The Grand

Charles were burned. Loss, $130,000.
London, March 9.—The Mark Lane
Express says since its last weekly issue
wheat has gained fully a shilling, with
a better feeling, with no speculation.
Paris, March 9.—The Cabinet combi
nation of yesterday has failed, in con
sequence of M. Buffet’s refusal to enter
the proposed Ministry, and the general
unwillingness of leading politicians to
join a governmept, the existence of
which is considered precarious, M.
Buffet, presided at to-day’s sitting of
the Assembly, after announcing, yes
terday, that his doing so would signify
that he had relinquished the attempt
to form a Cabinet when the Assembly
had adjourned. Mr. Buffet received
and rejected overtures to join a combi
nation formed by a fraction of the As
sembly under M. Wallon, and this
scheme has also fallen through. The
Left are indignant over the delay in
the formation of a Ministry.
Vienna. March 9. — Budget Com
mittee of the Riechstatch threw out
75,000 proposed by the Government
for the expenses of the representative
to the United States Centennial Exhi
bition.
Berlin, March 9. — The Tagblatt, of
this city) says the Government having
been informed that France intended to
order an experimental concentration of
troops*on her eastern frontier early in
the Spring, intimated to President
MacMahon that it would direct the mo
bilization of two army corps on the
Rhine if France persisted in carrying
out her intention.
