StGteS,V an act that means nonsense or VIO-
LENcE," its efforts to represent the tried and
incorruptible statesmen of the land as a "reu-
dictionary cabal," thus apparently seeking to
prepare the public mind for some "coup-Fetat.',
on the part of the executive, -these things
and others like them show upon how willing
ears the Presidents talk about putting down"
Senators and Repr esentatives of the people
have fallen, into how congenial soil his drag
ons' teeth have been cast. How far these new
found friends of his represent and interpret
his views, those who are now excluded from
his confidence can only conjecture. Ii they
construe his words more literally than he in
tended, he must blame himself and himself
only for having used words perfectly capable OF
such construction. If the country is serious
ly disquieted at manifestations which month
ago would have appeared supremely ridicu-
lous, the President, by public exhibition of
passions so unrestrained if not ungovernable,
Of vanity so weak, of terrors so whimsical, of
arrogance so aggressive and imperious, want
of sense and lack of judgment so amazing
has made himself alone responsible. We must
stand firm.sa ..r AHti .a. l..a......i &C.
Speaking of newspapers, one may derive
grim satisfaction from witnessing the attempts

swallow the bitter cup of shame and humilia-

Even government pap gives it but sickish

of easy nonchalance, or of smiling compla-
cence, while convulsed with inward loathing,
proves in most cases but sickening and

The Arms Ready for Another Rebel

According to Rev. DIR. j. p. Newman,
President Johnson, either purposely or
careleSSl y, has been making the same
preparations, or suffering them to be
made, for another rebellion in the South
that were made by the iniumOuS FloVd
The forts of the United States in the
South have been filled full of ordnance,
ammunition, and warlike stores of ali
kinds, sufficient for immense armies
and the President has removed the gar
risOns from the forts, or so weakened
them that they can be again seized by
traitors as they were at tho beginning
of the rebellion under Buchanan. Mr..
Newman, in letter published in the
New York Methodist, says:
"NOr is 1t the least objectionable fea-
ture of Mr.. JOhnson's administration
that, having Withdrawn the greater
garrisonS, he has collected in these self
same garrisons Immense quantities of
military stores ana ordnance sufficient
to equip large force. There is to-day
at Baton Rouge, Lu.. ordnance of all
Kinds to equip an army Of 200, 900 men,
NTH but a SINGLE regiment to protect thcNL.
Although officially notified of the fact,
he has paid no attention TO the notifica-
tions of the danger involved. The South
DdS 1cVcI' better armed than HOIr."
Now suppose that "my policy" is de-
tented at tho coming elections, and the
Johnson party, mainly located i'll the
South, shall choose to rebel again; or
suppose that there ARE enough Northern
sympathiZers with the South elected so
ms to make practicable the revolution
airy scheme of dispensing the legal Con-
gress at the point OF the bnyonet, and
declaring the Southern congressman
and Johnson men are the true Congress
tho weapons are prepared ready in
the hands of the supporters of the
Presidents contemplated usurpntion.
Did johnson think Of these arms, thus
carelessly exposed, lchcm he proclaimed
that he might make himself Dictator ,
Whether he did or not, the facts remain
tho same, and there is danger in them !;
the moro especially as Mir. Newman
asserts unqunliiedly that the President
has been "0DiciutLy notified of the fact, !"
but che has paid no attention to tho
notifications of the danger involved. -

The mo.t EormIdnhle Vessel Anoat.

/
The great iron-clad ram Dunderberg,
which has been built in New York, is
ut longth ready for use, and was tried
upon n short trip in that harbor on
Wednesday, with success, 1t is report
ed. Previously, her machinery had
been kept going at tho dock for forty
eight hours, hu Algonquin. Every
thing is reported to have worked
smoothly. This monster ship is said to
be tho largest irOn-clad in the Ameri-
lean navy. She has two engines of six
thousand horse power each. and con-
denser twenty foot long and ten feet in
diameter. She has also independent
engines for ventillating and pumping
purposes. Her boilers are seventeen
and IL half feet in height. thirteen feet in
depth, with Il breadth of tWenty-One
feet and a half. These immense mas
ses of iron weigh ono million eight
thousand pounds. Tho boiler surface
is thirty thousand feet, and the propel-
lers twenty-five feot i'll diameter. The
ship is of immense proportions, being
three hundred and eighty feet four inch
es In length. seventy-twO feet ten inch
es In breadth of beam, with rolid ram
extending from the bow aboveand un-
der wntor fifty feet; her depth of hold is
twenty-five feet and half, and her
draught of water is twenty-one feet.
Her armor weighs two million two hum
dred and forty thousand pounds. She
can carry two millions and quarter
pounds of coal, and burns three tons
and quarter hourly. 1t is said that
the full capacity of her engines will
give her a speed of from sixteen to
eighteen miles per hour. Upon the trial
trip on Thursday last, the ship ran
down to tho NnrrOws, where some eX-
periments as to her capacity in turning
quickly wero made. There were forty
ono trials in all of her capacity, and
she was turned repeatedly in a space
barely more than half heE total length,
each complete revolution being made
in an average time of three minutes and
thirty seconds, and not the least dipping
or lateral lurching being noticeable to
the ncutest observation. AS a prophesy
and exhibition of tho rapidity and flu
Cility with which, in case of conflict, tho
nautical annihilatOr could "change her
base" either to vary tho direction of
her discharges or to bisect her oppo-
nent, this execution was pronounced
unapproachable on the part of any
thing elso that now carries cannon; by
the unanimous verdict oc the officials
on board. After this satisfactory test,
the ship returned to her dock, and
preparations are now being made to
make II trip to sea, to try tho quality of
the vessel under all circumstances. We
need scarcely say that the Ounderberg
carries guns OF the largest calibre, and
is truly tho most formidable vessel
now ntloat in any navy.

Large Incomes.

The London Spectator, In comment
ing upon American incomes, has the
following remarks:
We see from the lists that one Alex
ander T. Stewart, dry goods person. we
believe, returns an income OF H3l4, 200 n
year, the grentest in America. If Mr..
Stewart Is not the mere representative
of n company, it is also, in all proba-
bility, the largest business income in
the word. 1t is Extremely improbable
If we except the ROthschilds, whose
wealth is rather that ofa family than OF
an individual, that any umcroWmcd per-
SON has an income approaching Dfr.
IStctUGrt's. Ifsuch n one exists, 1t must
be among tho South American States,
where there are sill one or two families
with incomes surprising those of Eu-
rope. The largest realized income in
America Is Mr.. Astor's, returned, we
believe, at more than ESQ, 600 a year, a
sum below tho English highest level,
but considerably above the boundary
line between the rich and tho mil
lionaires, namely, ESQ. 900 a year from
realized property. Till recently there
were certainly not one thousand such
millionaires in the world. but with tho
rise in the rents and prices the number
must have considerably increased.

An Alabama editor thus speaks of
one OF our bravest soldiers. We call
the attention of the Feniaus to the sub
joiEed paragraph:
General Phil Sheridan grew, dur
ing the war, to be quite notorious. His
blood is Irish, and, being an IrishmAn,
he was full of fight. He commanded
lrishmen. They would fight. Hence.
in an army of Yankee blue-bellies,
who were most splendidly drilled in
retroHAde movements, and against a
man whose taste for peach brandy was
stronger thHn his sense OF duty, this
little hve-feet- eight of resolute Fiune-
Ennism made some reputation. We
rather liked the little fellow on account
of his pluck, and were glad to see him
promoted, even In an army of cravens
and thieves. He studied hard at West
Point. He behaved we'll in Washing
ton Territory, and it pleased us to see
him escape the paternaI pick and
shovel, which had contributed largely
to the internal improvement of Ohio.
"Why, then, has he spoiled all by
his foolish show of authority? Why
has he proved to the world that he is
only vulgar ditcher at heart after all, i,
and that his rank is not the reward of
merit, but the mere result OF fortuitous
circumstances? This is really too bad.
We have hencefOrth to acknowledge
these Yankee hybrids as countrymen,
and 1t would be gratifying to Southern
gentlemen to know that some of them
had just claims to decency and respect.
But one by one, the leaders OF the
Northern army show themselves to be
only blackguards and braggarts."
