D1sGRACE IMPENDING.—The conduct of
““gur accidental President, brings a blush of
shame to the cheek of every lover of his
* country. For the evidence is niost couclusive that we have another McDougal with
not half McDougal’s abilities, in--the Presidential chair. From such a source there is
little hope. We might be able to console
ourselves that whatis past is only a slight
dereliction, if Johnson were possessed of the
moral stamina of his predecessor, indicative
~~ Of a disposition to right“a wrong and shape
‘his course—according to the expressed wil!
~ of the loyal-people of -the-country. Unfertunately there isno ground for hope in this
‘regard. The President disgraced himself on
coming to assume the duties of his office,
and bas now given the world a secoud. dose
ofhis maudlin stuff. We suppose it will
not be disputed that Johnson was drunk
when he harrangued a crowd of copperheads
and men generally of the baser sort, ona
very récent occasion in Washington. The
Tue Largest NueeeT.—Speakiag of
the “largest nugget’ of gold ug record, says
forms us that it was found at Ballarat, io
1859, and weighed 224 pounds troy. You
need not look for ‘its brother. In I854,a
nugget weighing 196 -pounds was picked up
in Calaveres county, California. . There
are not many such lying around loose in that
sectiun ef the country at present. A third
was found in Australia. weighing 145 paunds
Such chunks of good luck are like angel’s
visits, ‘few and far hetween.” The story of
ithe gold-digger finding so large a lump, and
who, fearing to leave it, offered a thousand
doHars for a plate of pork and beans, may
not have been entirely witbout foundation.
Fentan.—The Fenian trials are still in
progress in Dublin” In the case of Byrne,
the warden at the Richmond prison; charged
with aiding the escape of Stephens, the jury
agree upon -@verdict, and. were discharged. .
Fair Division.—In New York-city, on
Sunday evening. January.7th, Mies Hanna
Jane Duke, better known as the Iowa giantess, Was united in warrisge to Alexander
Bobn. He weighs one bhundred-and forty
pounds; she brings the scale down at five
hundred and eighty-three pounds! The
Siamese Twins witnessed the ceremony.
WibLiaAM LLoyp GARRISON, ip his edi. ignored. Thus, Seward was. sent North
with the approbation of Johnson, to pour
cit on the waters troubled by the President's
ill-advised veto of the Freedman's Bureau
Bill. ‘There must have been a full under:
standing between the two as to what course
Seward was to pursue in Now York. But,
while Seward attempts to. harmonize in some
degree; counseling peace and forbearance ; .
and while Raymond, another satteliteof
Jobnson’ who is knywo to speak Johneon’s
sentiments,is tryitig to convey the impression
inthe Times that the bresch between Consigns of beastiality are too prominent to be .
torial valedictory, says he began the publication of the Liberator without a subscriber,
and ends it without a farthing, as the pecuniaryresult of the patronage extended to
itduring thirty-five years of unremitted labor. .
Not DEAp.—It is now stated that Rev.
Alexander Campbell i not dead, but is still
living in Western Virginia,~ The name of
thé theologian deceased was Duncan Campbell, who was-also aman of much note.
CoLp.—The Helena Radiator, of December 16th, says the thermometer had been
gress and the Executive isnot irreparable,
but of trifling monient, the President himeolf makes direct and=positive war on those
who differ with him on questions of recon
struction. And whu ever heard from a President of the United States such personality,
men as he denounces, whe have stood by
the Government in its trying ordeal, are
worthy of more gentlemanly treatment.— .
~The position which Johnson occupies de.
mands the use of courteous terms, and no
one who has been so long in public life as
Jobnsoa, would degrade the position, ualess
drunk, by vulgarity.
Then, bis talk of assassination from these
men, and his mock heroism of standing by
the Constitution, reminds one of Bombastes
and the boots. No one but foolor a druvken man would make himself so ridiculous,
or-perhaps, we should say, so contewptible.
The beginning is but a foretaste of the
end. Johnson, like other accidental rulers,
If the friends-of freedom can possibly learn
a lesson from hisexample, it may be well.
Ifthey can learn that'a_man who has never
uttered in all his speeches for thirty years
one sentiment of sympathy for the oppressec,
nor one hope for the enfranchisement of all
mankind, is not to be preferred; either as
lawgiver or executive, simply because of oe
act of merit, over another who is to be credited with that same meriterious act, and
whose life has besides given evidence of
promptings of a spirit of freedom on all occasions, the world may yet be the better for
the disgrace of Aidrew Johnaon.
. THE Sacramento Union of yesterday says
the political sturm is raging in the East.—
Evidence accumulates that the: rupture of
the relations between the Presiderit and Congress was dehberately planned, “Seward,
Weed, Raymond & Company being the
managers of what was intended to be a partisan coupd’ etat. ‘These individvals, backed by the “Democracy,” are now pulling
the wires in all directions, to makethe move:
ment an apparent success, but the President's speech, which ie almost unanimously
condemned by the Union press, isa heavy
drawback to the patriotic efforts of bis
friends. Alexander H. Stephens addressed
the Georgia Legislative on February 22d,
«hailing Johnson as the staidard-bearer of
“the Conriitution and liberty. Stephens ig
themost promising candidate for the Vice
Presidéney.” . :

IN proof of the advantage to the public of
the National Bank system, it is stated au”
thoritatively that the circulation of the only
National Bank which has failed—that at
Attica, N. Y.—amounting to $45,000, is receivable by all National Banks at par, and is
now redeemable in—hrwfut money upow pre-.
sentation at the United States Treasury.—
Contrast that fact with the result of bank
failures under the eld system.
In the Montana prize fight, Marley was
~ ia going to disgrace the country still more.-— . Whipped by Orem, but Marley's friends are
not satisfied, whereat Orem, on the i1th of
January, proposed .to fight him again for
$,5000. There is no account of the acceptance. =
