In the House it is thought that one hundred
and twenty votes can be had for it, probably
not over forty can be polIed against it, while
the only man elected in the North as a Re-
publican, who is believed 10 be adverse TO it,
is Raymond, of New York. Gen. Grant has
expressed himself in favor Of the programme,
as he thought it would be the only way to
make treason odious. A copy was shown to
the President lastevening, when he remarked:
"Why, they backed down there is no colorcd
suffrage in it." He dil not, however, express
himself any farther upon the matter, and
gave no indications as to how he would act
in reference 70 il.

General Grant 10 a recent conversation
with Rev. George Hepworth OF Boston,
said of General Sherman "ohcrman Is
man to be proud Of. lie Is impetuous, ,he
is faulty, but he knows his own fault as
soon as any man" And of Sheridan he
said ale is the best man in America.
He has no peer. He can WELD any force.
He is pure. hearted, simp manncreJ and
a truly noble man" Aud Of himself he
said There were thousand others who
could have dene the thing as we'll as /.

PRESIDENTIAL BEAG-There are
thousands of men at the North who per
illed all that men can peril and did all
that meu could do to put down the Re
bellion. Most of these, to their honor,
have returned to peaceful pursuits of pri-
vate life, and are never heard b0asting Of
their achievements or making a parade O.
the dangers they encountered and the
losses they incurred There are tens of
thousands of homes at the North where
tho eyes of kindred are still wet with
proud mourning for the host of young
heroes who found soldiers graves in their
devotion to freedom. These homes hang
out no signs to tell the world Of their be.
reavement or to beg for sympathy and
praise.
Ia view of such facts, it is mortifyiug,
almost revolving, to have the President
rewarded as he bas thus been, to its cost
thus far, by the nation for all that he has
ever risked or accomplished in behalf of
the Union harp about, every time he
opens his lips to make speech, upon bis
deeds, bis courage, his patriotism, and his
sufferings, as if he alone had felt all the
evils of the war; and as if he had been
more efficient in saving the Republic than
all others who rallied to its defence.

REORGANIZATION.
A letter from occasional" uu

A letter from OCCASIONAL" under
date &C May 4th says:
Fortunately for Observation-Disclosures
Of the people, and for the canse Of good
government, the congressional plan of re.
construction is opposed BY every rebel
and Copperhcad leader, and favored,
without a single influential exception, by
the earnest men who, from the beginning
Of the war, represented the wishes and
responded to the demands Of the people.
The leading advocates Of the Prcsiden-
uaI policy IN the South, are those who
offered a price for the head of Andrew
Johnson when he was true, who rejoiced
over the assassination of Abraham Lin
coin, aud who plotted and sought to carry
into effect those Internal schemes by
which, failing in honorable warfaae, the
cause Of the Republic was sought to be
overcome by poison, arson, starvation of
prisoners, the introduction of pestilence
into Northern cities, aud piracy On the
high seas.
In the same Southern section the lead
ing opponents of this policy are the men
who stood by Andrew Johnson when he
was true, aud who, from the first to the
last, have been the fearless adversaries of
Jefferson Davis and his rebellion In
Tennessee the johnson policy had no
supporters among the men who acted
firmly with him when he first took his
stand to maintain the principles he has
since so brazenIy deserted. What true
of Tennessee is true of the men of Mis-.
souri,, who kept the faith and who are
now represented sn Congress by an almost
united radical delegation. Of Maryland
[ spoke yesterday. In the adhering
States, the loyal column that lowered so
high and stood so steadily during the
rebellion, IS still as firm as the granite
hills. In the attempted convulson of
parties, and the terrific onset of official
prescription, hardly a chip has been
shaken from the solid edi6ce. Is there
a widely respected Republican who has
fallen or been driven away from the faith
Is there one conspicuous War Democrat

More Yetoes Threatened.

The organs and friends of president
johnson positively assert that he intends
to veto the Colorado bill, the real object
being, of course, TO prevent the addition
of two radical Senators to the noble col
umn already 10 that body, This Is a happy
way of showing off HE cIamor against re-
fusing to admit the Southern States to a
full enjoyment Of the rights and blessings

up the great Union party in order to force
traitors into Congress, but when a loyal
State with a population far ahead Of most
new Southern States admitted since he
entered upon public life,such as Arkansas
and Florida, applies to come into the Union
for the purpose of securing a countless
prospective immigration, adding enor-
mously to the wealth and prosperity Of the
nation, he stands in the Way and inter

Threats of a New Deal.

In an editorial article on Pennsylvania pol
tics, the Cincinnati Commercial has the fol.
lowing remarks: "The effort to organize g
third party in Pennsylvania, consisting of the
supporters of President Johnson, is attracting
attention. The removal of radicals from the
Federal Offices in Pittsburg is regarded as the
initiative in this business. 1t is proposed to
call a State Convention, and put a third can
didate on the track for Governor. We pre-
dict now, that if this enterprise is carried
into execution, it will result in the withdrawal
of Clymer, the Democratic candidate, whose
chance of election is more remote than the
millennium. Indeed, the Harrisburg Patriot,
the central organ of the Democracy, foreshad-
ows this. 1t says: "If we have to choose
between Geary, candidate of the disunionists,
and true epnblican-give US the latter, by
all means" CIymer is detested by the SOL
diers, and a policy that would give to
third candidate the vote of the Democracy
and the conservative Republicans, il is
thought would defeat Geary. Notwith8tand-
iuSr IL - PIOOaDIc tHdI TeaIE Will NC CLeCteu,
and that the soldiers will vote for him in
preference to any man that can be named.
1t would take more sophistry and eloquence
than Buchanan, Bigler, Reed & Co. can en-
ploy to convince them, or anybody else, that
Gen. Geary is disunonist, or would permit
his name to be used as the candidate of dis
union party. 1t is simple nonsense to talk of
such a thing"

TROuT FISHING.

II a late number Of The Country Gentleman
there is pretty good article on trout fishing
portion of which, containing some practical
information, VIC tranfer to the columns ofthe
Journal, in order that beginners may have
some idea about it-always remembering
however, the professional sportsmen nevsr
use any other bait than artificial fly:
First, as to the habits of the trout They
seek in warm season, clear cool running water.
In winter, they retreat to the deeper water,
such as fords and deep holes. The trout may
be said to dislike civilization, and when The
forest and brush are cleared from his Old
haunts be talks good care to leave also. There
are many streams in this region which twenty
years go yielded trout abundantly, that are
now almost deserted Solicitude is therefore
indispensable to their increase, except when
propagated by artificial means. When the
spring opens, and the streams are warmed by
the sun, and the trout run up into the brooks
and may then be taken by the experienced
angles. The trout is very shv, sud he who
would catch him mustkeep without the range
of his eye as much as possible. Noise does
not frightcn HIM. They usually lie under the
edges Of rocks or logs or under banks, or in
any place where scclusion can be obtained
When in search of food, as at sunset or the
early morning, or at times on cloudy days
they are all about the stream, but Will oftenest
be found in quick water or in the deepest
water.
Second, the best time to catch This is
usually in the morning or at evenin. Cloudy
days are preferred TO bright days because the

COMING EVENTS.

a literary curiosity has just appeared
in London under the title Of "Louis Ma
poleon the destined Monarch Of the
World" &c, by the Rev. NJ Baxter. au-
thor Of Coming Battle" 1t is said that
twelve thousand copies have been sold, the
book finding readers, notwithstanding its
apparent absurdity,on account eff the note
worthy names used by the author as au.
thorities. We are indebted to Mr Baxter
for the cheerful news that the world is 10
end in l873-so that people may set about
their preparation for that event as soon as
they like; but during that brief interval
of six or seven years the emperor Of the
French is to become sole monarch of the
world, personally representing the Anti.
christ of the latter day. He is to become
supreme over Eng aud and NEST Of Amer
lea, the rest of Christendom submitting
to his sway. He is to make covenant
with the Jews, who By his aid are to re,
turn to Palestine, resume their rank as a
nation aud rebuild Jerusalem. Napoleon
is then to begin and carry on the perse-
cution of the Christians which answers to
the pouring out of the viaIs. Two years
and six weeks" after the date of the Gov
enant with the Jews, ''the ascension Of
the one hundred and forty thousand
wise virgins" is expected to occur. The
Jews are to be favored only for seven
years and two and half months, and
then the great battle Of Armageddon is
to take place, in which Louis Napoleon
(the great beast") is to be defeated and
slain. This is revelation more startling
than any of DR.. Cummings inventions.
The House of Representatives has
passed bill establishing the rank Of Gen.
eral as the highest position in the army
of the United States. 1t will confer upon
Lieutenant General GRANT upon whom.
by universal consent, we suppose this new
dignity will be conferred, slightincrease
of pay aud an additional aid.
