An AMERICAN CHsRAcrERIsTIc. A Euro.
pean traveller describes the United States as
"a country where every man has news
papor IN his pocket" This is a very cor
rect national characteristics, and distinc-
tive one from what any other nation could
apply to itself Every man in this country
has not only newspaper in his pocket,
but what Is better. every man knows how
to read and understand it, Newspapers
havo been so ohoap in the United States,
that evory individual could afford to take
ono, and he has been so long doing this
that his daily journal has become as il.ds-
pensable to him as his daily food In fact
he could do much better without some ar
ticle of daily consumption on his table than
to do without tho daily food for his mind
which q newspaper supplies, and which
keeps the humblest man as well posted as
his moro wealthy ncighbors in all matters
affecting his political, social and moral
good. II is tho general diffusion of intelli-
gonce among the people through news
papers--that kind of Intelligence which is
tho nost practical and the most useful, be-
cause appertaining to all tho movements of
society, of which ho is living aud breath
ing member that gives such activity and
oarnostness to American life, aud makes
every individual nature sclf-dependent and
thoroughly conscious of his manhood.

There has been studious, concentra

ticing the present unsatisfactory attii 'de
of an Administration which stands some
what aloof from the hearty appreciation
of its best friends, and at the same time
stands garlanded with the lad praise OF
its worst foes We are not VI ,aose crit

of those despairers who thick the cause

and solemnly. What will il profit the
Government to lose the Radicals. and to
gain the Chicago Tmss2
From the very announcement oI The
Presidents proposed method OF recon
structon, we, IN common with the great
body of the anti-slaSery party at the
North, feared its inadequacy and felt ITS
Injustice. The policy of too speedy

short probation, has been tried from the
beginning of May to the middle of Au,
gust, aud has disappointed the hopes of
the country. The injustice to the negro,
with which that policy shadowed itself
at the beginning, remains aud darkens.
But Mr.. Johnson, always practical man,
and never mere theorist, assured MS
friends that the moment: he saw his pol.
lev would not work, he would change II.
Now, after three months trial, in the
general opinion of the great party which
supported Mr. Johnson in the late presl'
Dental election. that policy has already
demonstrated its utility There Is now
no clamor, but nevertheless call, for

ill-wiil against the President, but we
know of very little cordial approval OF
his present method of fletting the South

What is the remedy for this Gallant,
tous state of thingsl The remedy Is an a
MORE radical, not a LESS radical. policy by
the Government! We little heed the s.o-
ries in the newspapers that the Admins
tration is going over to the Democracy
but half blind man can see that the
Democratic party is now busy honeying
its lips to kiss Andrew Johnson on both
cheeks. to betray him Moreover. certain
