_A FAvoraBLE StcGN.—The fearlessness,
independence and devotion to principle
‘which has marked ‘the course of Federal
Office holders throughout the country since
Johnson attempted to force them to foldow him into the rebel lines, is one of the:
‘most favorable signs of .the times. No
sooner had the President determined to
party to which he owed his place, than
circulars were addresged to all office-hold-*
ers, high and low, requiring them to support. his policy. True, afew men could
be found who would sell their principles
for ‘the crumbs that fell, even from the
hands of treason, andthese were anxious
to declare their fealty to Johnson, after he
had betrayed them, but the large majority
of Union men could not be purchased.—
They defied the President, and preferred
at sucha priceas was demanded’ by the
President. By such men 1 number of letters have been written, in which théy have
fearlessly declared their detestationof the
course pursued by tthe President. Hon.
Isaac ’N. Arnold, of the Treasury Depart‘thent, formerly member of Congress from
Severest letters we have scen. After
charging the President with a betrayal of
the Union party, deserting its principles,
persecuting and denouncing Union men
as traitors, and drawing about him rebels,
whose hands are fresh stained with the
blood of their countrymen, the writer adds:
_ “Sir, you are wielding immense power
and patronage, bat I tell you,not in anger,
‘but in deepest sorrow,there ard few names
other than that of the rebel chief, as yet
in Fortress Monroe, so odious among loyal
men, and so popular among traitors. as
‘that of Andrew Johnson. With fidelity,
you would today have been the first of
American statesmen; with fidelity on
our part there would to-day have been
rmony in all departments of the Goyernment, and peace and security through‘oat the republic. With fidelity it was
the people will prevent your treachery
from destraying it.
T will not now contrast your policy with
that of yonrillustrious predecessor ; but I
ask your attention to one point only. To
the loyal black man and the loyal white
man of the South Mr. Lincoln promised
protection and; security. He kept his
you pardon and take to your. confidence,
‘pro to return to slavery the black
soldiers af the Union army and win the
‘masters they had fought, Mr. Lincoln in-»
dlignantly replied, ‘Should Ido so I should
in time and eternity!’
How can you, Mr. President, occupy the
ative mansion as the successor of
Lincoln? How could you visit his grave
‘with the bloody outrages of Memphis and
New Orleans unpunished? Do you remember that Mr. Lincoln said, “Negroes,
like other people, act upon motives. If
they stake their lives for us, they must be
prompted by the strongest motive—even
the promise of freedom ; and the promise,
being made, must be kept.’
to his ex ted master whom he helped
to subdue, When did you punish a rebel
for the murder of a loyal ‘negro? The
rebels are to-day your counsellors. ‘They
and the copperheads constitute a large
majority of those who call themselves
your friends. They control your patrona
é
ge.
Believing you are to-day exerting your
vast power in the interest of traitors, and
that your policy should be overthrown at
the ballot box—that the Republic based
on liberty and justice: may live, I retire
from office, that T may more freely and effectually aid in that overthrow.”
This is very severe, but no one who has
closely watched the ¢ourse of the Presihosts of other officers who are holding .
‘subardinate positions, that are no less deit to be their daty to make such a public
declaration. They are nevertheless independent, thinking men, who w Il never be
“Indtwed ‘to forget their country:to follow
aftet Andy Johnson. And where sach a
‘@Outrse does not'influence any one, we ay
‘Prove it, for it is better that Union men
should retain their positions, so long as
they are not forced.to.gacrifice principle,
perheads. With the smaller offices the
where is a man justified in sacrificing his
principle. The men whe hold prominent
positions and whose course affects the people of a §tate‘or the Nation, should boldly
declare the truth as Arnodld,. Hamlin,
Speede, Dennison and other prominent
men have done.’ When the Republic has
will never affect it ; and such perfidy as
‘ 3 : eee 2
that of Johnson , will alwa 8 be crushed
beneath the popular will. ~ a

Srntous ACCIDENT To Rosa CELESTE:—
A shocking catastrophe, which thay_be attended with fatal results, occurred on Sunday afternoon at the Willows. Miss Rosa
Celeste the well known funambuliste or
rope walker, says the Bulletin, was. advertised to wheel a. barrow with a. man
named Kennovan, the pedestrian, in it,
along a cable stretched from 4 high platform to the top of the Pavilion. It appears that when the time came for performing the feat, it was found that Kennovan was distrnstful of Miss. Celeste’s ability to wheel him across in safety and had
been*nerving himself with liquor. Miss
Celeste declined to undertake the feat'with
a-timid man; but as the audience, misconstruing her action, jeered her for her want
of courage, she was stung into the imprudence of attemptingit. A young man who
had shared the risk. with her on a former
occasion had been sent for to. take the
place in the barrow, but before he arrived
the unfortunate couple had started on their
calamitous journey. Before Miss Celeste
had gone ten feet from the platform, and
when she was 22 feet from the ground,
her companion in the barrow changed his
position ; by the aid of balancing pole she
had nearly re€overed the shock to her equilibrium, and again essayed to go on when
the foolish man moved a second time, and
Celeste, Kennovan and the barrow came
to the earth. Kennovan was undermost,
and besides the bruises from the fall, was
terribly mangled by the iron work of the
barrow, which tore his ear from the socket,
and lacerated the muscles 6f the neck.—
Celeste clung to her pole and one end of it
striking the ground broke her fall before
it snapped, and she struck on her elbow,
breaking it and her shoulder bone, but
saving her head, and thus escaping instantaneous death. There are doubts respecting the fate of both, as the medical attendants cannot tell what internal injuries
have been received,
