gB- The release on parole of Clement G.
Clay, causes considerable comment in WASH
ington. The reasons for the Presidents action
are not known. That he should take such a
step while a committee of Congress is investi-
eating his case with view to bringing him to
trial for treason, for completely in the assas-
sination plot, is regarded as a very singular
proceeding. What conclusion the COMMITTEES
will reach in this case, and that of jefferson Da-
Wis, cannot be yet said but the statement that
they have asked the appointment of military
commission for their trial is wholly unfounded

~ VI Purify the CITY!

We are glad to see that the city authorities
are determined to enforce the law in relation
to the removal of dirt and filth from the
lanes and yards in the city. THIS is as it
should be. Cleanliness is not only near akin
TO goodness, but it is absolutely necessary to
the preservation of health, and also to prevent
the introduction and spread of the cholera,
which threatens to visit us this summer. But
there is another nuisance quite as great, and
one which will contribute as much at least to-
the spread Of this terrible disease as filthy
streets or yards filled with decaying vegeta-
bles, and that is the numerous grog-shops
which abound in many parts of the city. 1t
is high time that these nurseries of moral poll
luton as well as of contagious diseases, now
be closed up forever, and it is alike the duty
OF every good citizen and every officer to join
in the work of their SUPPRESSION y i&g1f

Candy, which is recommended to them as the best

Throat, Lungs and Nervous System. The proprie-

fully sustain the high reputation it has already
quired in various parts ofte United States. To those
who let their prejudces always blind their judgment
it is useless to present facts arguments but to 9th
we feel that will besucient to say that offer
discovery experiment; our goods are stand
ard. In the East, Hasheesh is the beginning and
the end of Medicine; il Is used for numberess dis
cases. and that it is used with success we need only
refer readers to the unlimited testimony tray-
eers in all ages. That it should SO long have escap
ed the practical science of the Western Word is an
astonishing fact but that it is prepared in such
form TO make it pleasant safe, and above ALL eff
fectve, there can be doubt that it is destined to
obtain the confidence of the public, and especially of
those for whose relief it is prepared. 1nyalids can
be assured that it contains not particle of opium
anything else that is in any way injurious to the
system, but that it is agreeable and permanent

The President Speaks.

President johnson has been making anoth-
er speech from the steps of the White House.
1t Is iong-winded affair, taking up two col
umns OF the Boston Post; and is devoted en-
tlreiy to abuse of the "snarKng, swapping
pack" OF the radicals, to glorification Of the
courage and patriotism of Andrew johnson.
and to somewhat rambling and illogical de-
fence OF his favorite "policy.n The occasion
OF this new utterance on the part of the
President was a scramble tended him bv a
delegation of soldiers and sailors in aeknowl-
edgement of his recent order to the Heads of
Departments to give preference in their an
pointments and promotions to the subordinate
offices to persons who have rendered honor
able service in the Army and Navy.
The attempt to monopolize for President
johnson whatever credit may belong to such
an act of common justice as this, is very
shrewd trick perhaps, but it will deceive no
one. who is aware of the facts in the case
The duty of Heads of Departments to give
preference in their appointments to the class
OF persons indicated is not dependent upon
the President. 1t is enjoined upon them by
law OF Congress, bill to that effect hav-
Ing been some time ago introduced into the
Senate by Mr.. Wilson of Massachusetts. a
radical of the radicals, and having received
the cordial approval not only of that BODY.
but Of the House of Representatives. The
order of the President, therefore, though cred
liable to him as an expression of right feeling
on the subject, is entirely supplementary and
superfuous. 1t has no binding force whatev-
er, the authority for carrying out such prin-
ciple having originated wholly with the ''rad-
ical" congress and with President Lincoln
who did not veto the bill. 4-

than fifty years of faithful, honest work, the
Boston Advertiser comes before the public as
a candidate for wider patronage and offers at
fractions which hardly, any other newspaper
in New England or in the country can pre-

advanced per sdltam to the front rank among

rendered to the Executive. The poor fellow
selected to address the President was SO abash-
ed by the presence in which he stood that he
stamInercd and hesitated in the most pittIl
manner, drawing upon himself the ieers OF the
crowd. The President began his response in a
calm and moderate tone of voice, but soon
worked himself into an excited state, and to-
wards the close ofhis remarks, when speaking
OF the opposition which his policy had encoun-
tered, betrayed considerable passion. Nopart
= OF the speech elected hearty or unanimous ap-
plause, while some carts of it received very de-
cided and emphatic comment OF disapproba-
ton. y The sentences which won the greatest
appreciation were those in which the Presi-
dent alluded TO his course in the Senate in OPP
posing traitors, while his remarks in regard to
the action of Congress were received in silence
| or with feeble attempts at cheering. indeed
it was evident throughout that the President
had an audience before him of a far different
character from that which applauded to the
echo his more violent but not less feeble speech
OF the 22l OF February. When. the President
propounded and repeated his question, "What
| is the veto ?-what does it mean?" voice in
/ the crowd answered, 1T means putting down
| the niger; !" and the mirthful uproar which
greeted this apt response prevented the Presi-
dent from proceeding for several minutes-
Many persons, weary of the speech, withdrew
from the crowd before its conclusion, and not
few men in blue uttered dissatisfaction at its
sentiments. 1t should be stated that the
proposition to serenade the President was al
most unanimously voted down at the meeting
OF the Soldiers and Sailors Union, on Mon
| day evening, that the serenade was afterwards
| gotten up by a dozen members of the Union
who held civil offices under the government,
