THE PRESIDENT AND ConGress.—Evry step in the development of the Johnson
plan of reconstruction, shows that tbe Pree‘ident either totally misapprehends the teim-;
he is determined to -betray the natien into
rebel hands. Whatever may be the cause
Of hts condnect, it becomes the duty of Congress to stand up between the threatened

THE San Franciscv Call says: A week
ago, Charles May, alias Gundiéug, ‘was taken into custody upon suspicien of being implicated in the robbery of Mr. Collector Adsteamer on which Mr. Adams came to San
Francisco, and left the vessel after her arrival. Two or-three days afterwards, he
went on board of her-and brought ashore
his bedding, relled up im & bundle. This
fact, taken iu tonnection with a previous
dark cloud in which the Detective force have
been in the habit of viewing him, was -to
‘them proof as strung as holy writ, and they
slamed him into jail te, Micawber-like, wait
till something turned up to fasten the crime
upenhim. Several days passed away, and
the detectives having fuiled to discover any
evidence against him, he was ordered tu be
discharged from custody, although the de-teétives are morally certain that he is the
guilty party. .If the law would permit the
Courts te eonviet-every man whom the Poearry out his will, and beeause the Repre‘sentatives of the people have the manliness
to-oppose his usurpatiun, he denounces them
as. traitors. Congress is the legislative
branch of the Government, and to that body
* alone belongs the work of reconstruction.—
When Johnson asaumes to legislate for the
country or any portion of it, he forgets bis
oath and assumes powers which should cost
him'the place he disgraces. ‘That be has
forgotten the party which placed him in
ples he advocated in the early days of rebellion, is demonstrated. by, bis disgraceful
‘conduct on the 22d. The most charitable
way in which to account. for his cunduct is to
attribute it to drunkenness, for to say that
Johnson was in his right mind would be an
edmission that he is totally uvfitted for .the
“exalted position he occupies. Let any~man
point to an instance where a President of the
United States so far forgot his position as to
exibit such ‘viadictive hateand low yulgariand lew illusions in bis. dinlogue with the
crowd, show a Aotul disregard fur decency,
which cannot be accounted forupon any
other grodind than drunkenness. He gutoff
the sane old nonsense in regard to the equal.
responmbility of the North and the Soath m
charges .made in the Senate in ‘60 and '61,
that Jeff. Davis and hie associates. were alune
would hang them as traitors. He has for{
gotten that he once: said, “Treason was the
uighest crime known to the law and should
de punished,” und he now says that the
Southern people erred for atime. He has
forgotten all his past record and his gone
over te the enemies of the Republic. Should
be succeed in carrying out his purposes,
tant rebels and their copperhead allies. We
are satisfied that Congress will stand firin in
the right, and that the loyal masses of the
nation will sustain that body. The uprising
has already begun and the Union loving people are speaking in unmistakadle language.
‘The political grave of Andy Jvhoson is opened and his history will prove .how low the

Foroey’s article in the Philadelphia Press,
which prevoked the wrath ef Johnson, is telegraphed to the Sacrameuto Union, It chargee the President with premeditated treachery to the Union party, with making promises be never intended to fulfill, with cuurting the society of traitors and Copperheads

In.November of last year, a numbegof citizens of
Nevada and Grass Valley had subscribed towards a
survey fora RAILROAD to connect these cities
with the Central Pacific Railroad, at or near Colfax.
The money subscribed was to be. expended (as set~
forth in the subscriptien paper) ‘‘under the direction
of Messrs. George W. Kidd, Ira A. Eaton, George
D. Roberts, E. McLaughlin and A.S. Hart.”” The
last named gentleman, enly, took an active part inthe matter, the. other parties, for reasons best known
About the middle
of November last, at the request of Mr Hart,L-eametant, Robert H. Moore, Esq, for the purpose of making the survey. Before beginning active opera_
tions, a meeting ofthe subscribers was held in Nevada, at which it was resolved that the survey should
be made forthwith. Accordingly I made an accurate and thorough survey of the route, returned ,to
San Franciseo with the notes, and completed the
Map, Profile and Estimate. With these I returned
to Nevada a few weeks since, laid them beforé a
meeting of the subscribers, who examined and adopted my report. It seems, however, that the greater
