A project exists, says the National Intelligence,
for the removal of Andrew johnson from the office
of President of the United States. We say 1t ex-
lists. We do not say that it has been definitely
compassed by these bad men. But that it exists
in the bosoms of men of mind, Of WILL ofiu1uence,
and Of high official station, there is no doubt.

There is great apprehension among the Radi-
Gals that Mr. johnson will dismiss ofice-ho
who oppose him ard his policy, and in order to
head him off, Tbad. Stevens has Introduced
bil-which is now before the judiciary Com
mttee in the House-provldins that after
off Ger has been confirmed by the Senate the
President shall not have the power to dismiss
him and appoint another in his place. 1t is not
improbable, in the present temper Of the House,
that that body will pass the bill, but do not
believe it would succeed in the Senate. The
President is growing stronger daily in the last
named branch of Congress, and he is not losing
ground in the otber.- Washington Letter.

u The President (says the Richmond Times)
no longer makes State secret of the fact that he
will in very short time issue official procla
nation that the late civil war is ended. When
he does this he will have accomplished the last
and highest act which the Executive Department
of the Government can perform towards the re-
storation of peace.
He cannot compel Congress to admit Repre-
sentatives from the Southern States, but his pro-
clamation will subordinate military to civil au-
thority, and place all the States composing the
Union upon footing of equality in that respect.
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus will
then be in reach of the humblest citizen of the
South. and our State governments will become
supreme within the limits of the States for the
protection of whose citizens they were organized.
Martial law, which now reigns supreme in eleven
States, will then only be potent for the control
and punishment of those who connected with
the army. in the manner defined by the Articles
of War.

| ATLANTIC & N. G.. RAILROAD.---We have
noticed time Or two in the proceedings OF the
| State Legislature. that DR.. Arendell, Senator
from Carteret and Jones counties. has introduced
of the stock of the above road with that ofthe
| North Carolina Road. We have not seen the bill
itself. and consequently not able to speak of
its details either pro con but are for bill
| of the kind. We have always thought that these
two roads should be but one, for the reason that
they both built expressly. SO far as the State
is concerned in the enterprise to develop the
| resources Of the State. and to build up CONNER
cial interest of sufficient Importance on our own
seacoast, to insure the shipment of the States
products and supplies through her own ports.
This idea also influenced private individuals to a
very large extent; for these roads never could
have been built if there had been no nducement
to have called out the subscriptions ard efforts of
private parties but that of dividends arising from
said stock.-Nevbern Times.
Placing both Roads under the management of
one Company will do but little good if the rates
of freight are not greatly reduced, especially on
the Road from Goldsboro to Newbern. At the
close of the war, the merchants of Newborn had
it in their power to build PIP great business for
that city. but the high charges in the way of
commissions, railroad freight, something else.
caused pretty general dissatisfaction among ship
pers in the Western part of the State and the
result is. we learn. that great deal of such bust
ness has been turned towards Wilmington.
1t is to be hoped that the completion of the
Roads between this place and Charleston will
general reduction of charges on all roads
in this State. We would prefer to the Roads
running to the seaboard in our own State patron
lied if the charges will justify it.

which he condemned the schemes of the radical
