PRESIDENT JonSsoN's VIEWS.

Major George J.. Stearos publishes,
with tho consent of President johnson,
a report OF a conversation that took
place between them on the I'D inst. In
speaking Of the claims OF the Demo
cratic party to being his supporter,
President. johnson laughingIy said :
"Major, have you never known man
who for n,asy years hid differed from
your views because you we're in advance
Of him, claim them as bis own when he
came up to your stand point r.
=. He continued that 1.-The Democratic
party finds its old position untcaabIe
and is coming to ours ;if it has come
up to our position, I am glad of it,
lie then said that the States arc in the
Union which is wholly indivisabk.
individuals tried 70 carry them out, but
did not succeed, rs q man may Try to cut
his throat and lie prevented by the BY
ISLANDERS; and you cannot say he cut his
throat because he tried to do it. e. HIS.
Individuals may commit treason and be
punished, md large number of individu-
ais may constitute rebellion and be pun
nished as traitors. Some States tried 10 get
out Of the Union and We opposed it, hon
estly because ne believed it 70 be wrong ;
and ne have succeeded ir putting down the
rebellion. The power Of those persons Who
made tie attempt has been crushed, and
now ne VAST 10 reconstruct the State gov
ornments and have the power 20 do it. !. Tho
State Institutions are Frustrated, laid out
on tho ground. and they must be;taken up
and adapted to the progress Of events
This cannot be done in moment. We
are making very rapid, progress; SO rapid
I sometimes cannot realize It; is appears
like dream. ." ,.@.
In speaking Of negro suffrage, be
said:
If I interfered with the vote in the rebel
1<ates, to dictate that the negro shall vote
night do the same thing for my own pur-
poses in Pennsylyania.
We might venture to say that, il
Pennsylvania had been in a state 81
bellion, and her people had struggled
By force ofarms to drag her out Of the
Union, he would then assuredly have

A D. Richardson, correspondent of the New
York Tribune says that the official report of all
the American gold, received at the United States
Mint and its branches from the first gold dis
coveries up to June 3Oth, 1864, shows the am It
to be $597, III, 1888, 81 These figures ought to
convince every reasonable mind that the Ma
tionaI debt could never be liquidated from Ell
ther the sale of the mineral lands or from a
heavy tax upon their proceeds. Still, many
seem to think, that somehow or other the mines
ought to pay off this great debt. But when we
come to compare the amount Of gold taken cut
of the American mines, with the amount of the
public debt, the mineral wealth appears like
only drop in the bucket. All the gold yet
taken to the mints, after all our long and pros
porous mining operations, foots up only little
over half billion dollars; while the National
debt, of only four years growth is estimated at
four thousand millionsl

The ELECTION IN IDAHo.-From the Idaho
World of the 10Th inst, we get the following
in relation to the result of the late election in
the southern counties of Idaho Territory:
Of the result in Boise county, enough is known
to insure the success of the Democratic nomi-
nees by majority of little over 500. The
majority on the total vote cast is larger this year
than at the last election.
The neighboring counties have also done
well. Alturas gives a Democratic majority of
about 200: Ada about 200, and 0wyhee $50 ma
iority. The returns insure the Democracy two
thirds of both houses of the legislature Onei-
da is the only county in Southern Idaho to hear
from. The Northern counties will probably in
crease the legislative majority. The vote in
that section will be light.
This election demonstrates the fact that Ida
no is strongly Democratic, that the majorities Of
last year were substantial and enduring-and
that they are likely to continue so.
AS a party, the late Union party has disap-
peared. The places which have known it, will
know it no more forever in Idaho. 1t is doubt
full whether it will ever again nominate regu-
lar ticket or make another fight in Boise coun-
ty. Like Wolsey, it "has fallen like bright
exhalation of the evening" to rise not again.

TED.-According to the Oregonian, of la
test date, just as the eastern telegraph line had
wires between Jacksonville and Portland part
ed An item it seems was being telegraphed
at the time, to the effect that the laying of the
Atlantic cable had proved failure, the cable
wire having parted while paying it out from one
of the vessels. This is the second failure, and
probably no further attempts will be made to
lay the cable

The Dalles Mountaineer says the people of
that place imagine that they are the only suf-
ferers by the stagnation of business which pre-
walls in the mines, but it is informed by gen
tleman just up from below ''that there is scarce
a person to besseen in the streets at Portland,
and great many merchants would like to move
and change for something better"

the same is needless and unnecessary
