WHAT THE PRESIDENT SHOULD Do.-A late number
of the Chicago Times has lengthy article on this sub
jec, from which we extract the following:
We do not hesitate to declare that it is the solemn
duty of the president to follow his words bv deeds
We do not hesitate to declare that it is the solemn
duty of the president to command the arrest of Thad
deus Stevens, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner and
their eonfederaes in congress and all over the coun
try for the crime of treason. In no other way can
the northern rebellion be promptly quelled, and tie
public quiet restored.
And if the rump in congress shall notapeediy aban.
don its sedtoUs revolutionary and awless practices
if it shall persist in excluding the representatives OF
eleven States from their rightu seats, and in exerc
sing the powers of the congress of the United States
we do not hesitate to declare that it will become the
solemn duty of president johnson to constitute him
self the Cromwell Of the time, and dissolve the eamI
by military power.

Death of Professor s mith, of the Naval
Academy.

The papers inform us of the sudden death of
A. w. Smith, LID, Professor of Mathematics
in the United States Naval Academy at Annapo-
lis. DIR. Smith was a native OF Madison county,
in this State, and graduate of Hamilton Col
lege and from 1882 Professor of the Wesleyan
University, Connecticut, of which be was also
President for several years. In 1850 he received
an appointment in the Naval Academy, which he
held with honor until his death. He died at
Annapolis, March 22d, of pneumonia, after a
short illness, aged sixty-four.
We wish that the vacancy, so unexpectedly
occasioned, might be filled by the selection of
another man of equal ability, and as well fitted
for the place by the sauvity of his manners, his
frmness in duty, and general dignity and weight
of character.-N Y. Euening Post March 29b.

Great Emigration from ireland.

According to the Cork Examiner, upwards of
four thousand persons left Ireland during the
first week of the present month, going to the
United States by way OF Queenstown. 1t is est-
mated that two-thirds of the number were of the
middle and farming class. The farmers we're
complaining last year of the want of laborers to
gather in the harvest; but if the emigration con-
tinues at the present rate (says the Erdn.iner),
one thousand five hundred week, they will GER
tainly have more cause to complain this year, as
those leaving now are mostly of that class.
About six hundred passengers are now waiting
in Queenstown to get ava y by the steamers.
