And they are careful to advise him to

incubation which, In view of the CIR
cumstanees, is wholly unnecessary.
The Republican Journals, with
scarcely an exception, eoncede to the
document the merits Of good temper
and elearness and excellence of style.
Generally, they contend that the
President misapprehends his position
and the position of the. country, and
that his adjurations to Congress are
ludicrous because out of date. The
Boston sAdrertiser thinks, neverthe-
less, that he is alive to the lesson of
the Fall elections, to which our CO..
temporary ascribes the sobered tone
in which the restoration question is
discussed. NJ His bearing is that of
one who comprehends his defeat, but
who has ,resolutely set his teeth
against learning anything from its
lessons.
Wefnd few threats or insults. The
weakness of the Presidents situation
is alluded to as reason for abstaining
from relentless hostility toward him.
Gov Hawley's journal, the Hartford
Press, expresses a hope that Congress
Il wilDnot take any steps to reopen a
controversy with Andrew u ohnsony'
adding, II may even go so far as to
show a disposition to renew terms of
friendship with him." The same idea
peeps out In other quarters and in
other forms. & The feeling pre7alent
among the party appears to be that the
President has blundered irretrie7ably,
but that, inasmuch as he no longer
possesses power to act to the preju-
dice of the party or its cause, nothing
ike personal malignity should be per-
mitted against him.
Congress Is told plainly, however,
that it must do its duty. " With
johnson or without johnson, it is
called upon to march straight forward
to the work of undoing what John
son has done lis the saying of one
journal, and we trace its echoes in a
score of others. Nearly all the invo-
cations to prompt and energeticswork
are qualified with suggestions as to
the wisdom of moderation. The
Providence Journal which, aside
from its excellence as a newspaper,
derives importance from its eonnec-
| ton with Senator Anthony-sees that
more stringent measures than the
Amendment may be ultimately neces-
sary, but meanwhile utters sensible
caution against haste or anger. 1t
is for Congress to make the next
move" and the move, come when
it may, should be made deliberately
prudently, courageously." The Jour
nal is safe as well as a consistent
counsellor, and its Endorsement of a
moderate course should not pass uih
heeded.-Neao York Times.

A WOman's LOve-A Remarkable Case.

A Woman's L0ve--A Remarkable Case.
One of the strangest as well as one OF
the most remarkable cases of woman's
devotion has lately come to- our ears
that we have ever known. A young
man who was engaged to be married to
a young lady ofa good family, in Du~
buque, was some time since sent to tho
Penitentiary for stealing. The lady
was the only person who appeared To
have any interest III his release, and
"single handed and alone she did
everything in her power to have him
pardoned. For long time her efforts,
were ofno avail, but finally she wrote
Gov. Stone that her all depended upon
the release ofthe young man--that she,
was engaged to be married to him. and
that unfortunately she was in such a
condition that unless she was allowed
to marry him that herself and family
would be disgraced." BY this ruse sho
succeeded in accomplishing the desired
end. Under the circumstances tho
Governor instructed the Walden to let
the young man "go free" provided
thcyoung lady would marry him boz
fore leaving the penitentiary, which
she did. One Of tho last boats up tho
river brought the young couple home
to Dubuque.
