solve the most complicated problems in mental arithmetic wiih a moment's hjsitation. Now and then the prices will run up wildly upon a given slate of facts and Yun down as rapidly when it is discov ered that the facts are not having the 'effect which was generally expected by the operators. They are pretty cold and accurate in (he r calculations, but the atrnosphero of the gold rdom almost inevitably pert ets a man’s judgment, and. brings hini to grief fn the long run. CONCLUSION. Thf stock board is provided with a tnodfiiator and two reporters, thus having the semblance of parliamentary law lor its government. The gold board has nothing of the kind. It is a ceaseless jungle, a whirlpool of voic es, without order, without umpire, ref eree or stakeholder. Yet as it spins on, millions upon millions are bought and sold, the prices of all goods, wares, j merchandise, produce bonds, stock and property generally throughout the country are marked up and down, obe diently to the inexorable “indicator'’ in the gold room. How these men can understand each , other and avoid making mistakes is a mystery. Now and then the noise flags, and almost ceases.. While. I was there, it 'ceased for a memejit entirely, The smokers placidly puffed their blue wreaths upwards, and the murmer of tbe little fountain became audible.--- In ten seconds Bedlam had broken again, wider tl an ever. ‘‘Market ex cited ’ said my friend, to whose polite ness I was indebted for an introduction to the room ; and almost immediately the indicator rose from 141 to 141 ii. The id:a that those twenty or thirty men were “the market/’ and that when they exchanged views a trifle more vo ciferously than usual, ‘‘the market was excited” struck me as being so droll that 1 laughed immediately. Jt was nevertheless true. These men were the market, and the market was ex cited. Some spark of information had just come from some quarter of the globe which warranted the operators ■in believing that United States legal •tender notes were worth a fraction less than they were ten seconds before.— The gold room is as sensitive to news ns the “thermoelectric pile to heat” CLASSES 01' OPERATORS. There arc two classes of operators in the gold room- —commission men and speculators. The former buy and sell for others.” With them it is “ heads I win, tails you ltse.” 'J lieir com mission is a certainty, and if they con resist the temptation to do a little on their private account they make money. The speculators make none! Rich to day, pcor toiinorrow, is the rule with them. Those who make money eannot ■get away- When a man makes a mil lion in the gold room, it is as though he had swallowed a gallon of salt water at one draught to quench his thirst, lie must have more. 8o ho stays and loses it. If he loses more than holms and cannot pay his difference, he must take his place at the outer railing.— Even then he cannot drag himself away from the place. The evil genius of gambling has possession of him.— It holds him fast. ‘ Yonder,’’ said my compaion, “is a young man who might have gone away With two millions of dollars, lie was wo/th it once. 11c is now among the “dead-beats,” as poor as any of them. They have all been tich in their time. - uses or it he cold room. To say that the gold room is not useful would be oltpgctlu-r wrong It is not only useful lut necessary. I should not wish any friend of nj i tip to do much business in it, but it must be recognized as a necessity of tiro times Its iiK-tlrod of doing business was ne ver invented by anybody Men slid into it, just as men s’id into lire prac tice of using gold and silver for money. It has been li.und that, the work can ho done more economically aud expedi tiously by the rat-pit made than any other. If it could be done any faster or any cheaper by tiro operators stand ing on their beads, they would do so. The Next Delthlgre. —N French work, recently publishtd, maintains tliat every 10,000 years the waters of the sea pass from one pole to the other, submerging and overwhelming in their passage the earth and all its inhabit tants. According to the i utlvor of this theory, M. Paul de Jouvcnel, the last el' those deluges occurred 4,000 years ago, (lie next or e is due in 6,- 000 years more. M. Jon vend re counts this great cosmicnl drama with the vigor and pictorial effect of an dye witness. Fix thousand years—sixty centuries—then, only, are lift to us wherein to do our whole world’s work, and to complete and perfect that civil lization which has yet hardly dawned on the greater number of mankind 1 Sixty old men may touch hands across the interval between the present mo ment and the last hour of the world as it exists; then all will be finished, all consumed, all will di; appear! The sea for 10,000 years in its immeasurable depths will crush out our history and leave nothing of it at all but a few fos sils ! —so, at least says M. Jouvcnel.

VETO MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT. Tbe Message of President Johnson vetoing the bill to establish negro suf frage in the District of Goltirfibia, was communicated to both Houses on the 7th instant, but the bill was nrvcrthoi loss immediately passed over the veto, by the requisite majority, and is now the law of tire land. How any nmn or set of men, could vote for tin cstub ment of such u measure, in the face of the overwhelming truths contained in this message, we can account for in no other way, than that, they were either 1 blinded by a foolish fanaticism, or mad 1 with passion and thirst for power.— Perhaps all these ingredients enter j tire body of the Radical or in pound ; but this message of the President, is, j in our opinion, one of the ablest expoi I sit ions of sound doetrino that Iras ever emanated from the Executive Dosart ment of the Government, ana when such noble conservative views, so sir.kingly sot forth by tire Executive!, arc not only disregarded by the na tional legislature, it is indeed time for American citizens to look around them and ascertain whether they havo any lib cties left. It is evident that the Radicals no longer have respectful- tire Executive or the Judiciary,for they are endeavoring Id impeach the one and threaten to abolish the,other, and 1 themselves constituting the third and most pt wcrltil eo-ordinpte branch of i the Government, they seem, from (lien action, resolved upt n consolidating 1 an 1 vesting all power in their own : hands The Constitution is a mere j play thing in their hands, so he taken. | up whenever they desire to punish, I ail’d cast away whenever its provisions I run counter to their arts of aggression, i Their lear ol I'-q utilitury and civic i powers of the South, notwithstanding htr defeat, prostration mid poverty has driven them to measures violative of every principle of tho ('opstijution, of civil liberty, and the common rights .of mankind, and having entered upon such a emirs'.', infamous as it may be, 1 they see. no oseapo save in the final success,of their schemes, which they | are well aware will be the ruin of Arne* rican Liberty. IMPEACHMENT OF TIIE PRESIDENT. At length the lladicajs have deter mined to put their threat of impeach ment into execution, or at least, to try the experiment, and a no member of Congress, knowi. to the country for his high charaoter and statesmanship, would r sk his reputation ho far as to ntsumo the leadership, n man to do the dirty work has been found in the. pen sun of Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, who, as he could not be worsted by defeat, might, it is supposed, become famous by success, like Krostratus. Accord ingly on the 7th inst., the would-be famous Mr. Ashley, introduced in the House of Representatives, a paper and iCsolniion impeaching Andrew John son, Vico President, and acting Presi dent of tlio United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors. Wo had expected on this extraordinary occa sion, some spread ca.-le attempt at imitation of Sheridan, in the deathly 1 stillness of a crowded house, a desper ate effort to produce a grand sensation ; ! but in this instance, the first, to im- I peach the highest dignitary of th ■ 1 nited States, there was Bo combina tion of art, thquenee and genius, ut:d I Mr. Ashler s all important resolution, though burdened with the fate of a , mighty empire, fell upon tho ears of j the assembled wisdom of Congress, ] only with the force if ordinary busi. j ness. It passed both houses, it is 1 true, by a large majority, but as a mat- I ter of c< ur.se, as a part of the Radical ! programme, well understood. Its past | sage has created no surprise among 1 the people, because it was expected by the Radicals and the Conservatives re gard it as a measure calculated to has ten the (’ownfalf of the party or sac- - tion, who originated it as a means of self-agg'imtlizeriMint. VVe did not be lieve the Radicals would even go so far as to introduce the measure, be cause of their own doub; of success and fear of the people ; but they hayg entered the wedge that shall overthrow Con titutional liberty, or grind therin selves to powder. Wei 1 , let them pro-' ceed as rapidly as possibly, for we agree vvitli some of our cotemporaries, -h t they must fail in their undertaking,, and to them failure is total ruin. Whe ther President Johnson tamely sub mits or- not, we believe the result will be tl e same in the end. Ifjie resists, there will be revolution, vyh’reh: ijrust inevitably overthrow the Congressional faction, and if he submits, they may convict yud displace him if they choose, bet that will disgust and open tho every qf the blinded people. Ret tiro eyes of the people once be epened, and all 'will turn but right. Let the South waitpmd be patient. r 1 ———r WHAT OCCURRED IN THOM ASVILLE LAST NIGHT.

J The President’s Political Posi tion. The President’s position on the subt ject of reconstruction is still made tbe theme of seems to us very needless speculation. It has been 30 c-learly defined by what he has done and said and by what ha lias not done and said as to leave very little room for further doubt. It could not have been expec ted that the result of the elections would cause any change in his opinions as to e ther the justice or the expe diency of the policy he had urged up on Congress; and it is now equally certain that it has made no change in his estimate of the feasibility of giving that policy practical effect. It may have led him to charge the grounds of his reliance. Before tbe election he believed the people would elect a Con gress wh'ch would adopt that policy and carry it out This hope has failed lie now believes that the Supreme Court will annul any hostile policy which Congress tnay adopt, and that the necessities of tire country, opera ting alike upon the interests and the .sentiments of tbe people, will c impel a resort to the action he has recom mended. Tire President evidently thinks that | things cannot remain in their present | position. The country cannot stand I still in its present atitude. The 1111. terra! interests involved, —the vast commerce whose movements are sus pended,— the industries reaver for <lc vt ropincnt, —the want-', necessities and ; demands of the whole country unite to compel some action lookir g toward ! relief fietn its present dislocation and I paralysis. Congress must do some thing. If it takes violent action, —if it annuals the local governments which now exist in the Southern States, and which arc the products and repiesen | fives, regularity or irregularity, of the 1 local popular will, and substitutes for i them Territoral governments of its own I creation, the President believes the Stipreiive Court will pronounce its ac : tion null and avoid. Upon what this | belief is based, except the general tem per of (Ire Court and its decision in the ! Indiana cases, we are not aware ; but he holds it and nets upon it. He bc ! lieves that Court will bring the action of Congress upon the status of the Southern States, to the test of the Constitution, —and that it wi-I veto, by an adverse decision, every attempt to impose upon those States universal j suffrage assent to Constitutional Amendments or other conditions of the kin-1 proposed to their enjoyment '■ of the right of r presentation in Con gress and the Electoral College, 'lire ! threatt tied action of Congress, therc i fore, Ire believes is destined to prove abortive. Rut even it this should not be so, he still believes the policy of Congress inns', fail. A hill s!r pping the South ern -States of their existing Govern ments, aid imposing Territorial Go vernments in their stead, will not exe cute itself. It must be supported by force. An army must hr sent and kept in every Southern State. No law can be enforced, 110 tax can he collected, no allegiance can be maintained, hut by military p twer. This may be possi. hie, hut it will be expensive, and it will become odious and intolerable. It will convert tire Nnti -uul Government into a cerrralizcd depotism. and tiro people will not endure it. They will inevitably and speedily expel from power any party that may -to it, and thus the country will he brought to necessity of adopting the policy he lias urged- -which is the only one at once sanctioned by the Constitution and adet quate to the reconstruction of the Union. M e belie' o these to be the views and opinions upon which the l’res dent is acting It is no part of our present purpose citlnjr to approve or oppose them We m* rely state them as the probable, we think tlm coitrin, basis ot the Executive action during the re mainder of President Johnson’s official term.—A*i 10 York Times.
