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 eS 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, et ee EDUCATIONAL.—The November number. of the California Teacher furnishes some interesting statistics in relation to schools: throughout the State. There are in the State 84,042 children between five and fifteen years of age, of which 82,324 are white.
