G. c. Clay is expected home this week.
A. h. Stephens arrived in Atlanta last
night from Washington, and is stopping
with Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown.
The prominent candidates for President
of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad are the
rebel General Joseph E. Johnston and
Milton Brown. 1t is the general opinion
that Genera! Johnston will be elected 20
the office. Both we're traitors, but john
ston was the most pernicious, and per
consequence the most popular at the
South.
There is some prospect that the great
seulling match between Hamill and
Kelly may not take place, as the latter is
making many objections to the stipula-
tions Of the former.
Mons. Gustave Dore, the eminent artist,
went on top of the towers of Notre
Dame, in Paris, recently, and, throwing
himself over the balustrade, suspended
himself with one hand to it, kept his
body in a straight line, kicked his heels
together, and then bounded back again
behind the balustrade. His friends were
breathless while he wa giving this evil
dence of his proves as a gymnast.

johnson boasts that no living man has
done so much to free the slaves as he.
Lincoln never boosted but prayerfully
evoked upon his great proclamation the
c~onsiderate judgment Of mankind, and
the gracious favor of Almighty God.
johnson, whenever he meets a negro,
promises to be his Moses. Lincoln made
ne promises, but when the triumph of our
arms in the fall of Richmond had given
liberty throughout the land to all the in
habitants thereof, ne turned to the country
and said: Il had nothing to do with this
crest work, give the whole credit to
Grant and the army" johnson held on
to his slaves until they were set free, and
delayed their emancipation by inducing
Lincoln to except Tennessee from the
proclamation of freedom. Yet he repeats,
"Have l not sacrificed all for emaneips-
ton ?" Lincoln incurred the wrath of
fifteen millions of men, which ultimately

The wheat crop in Southern Illinois
viii not DO mora than half the usual
amount.
A correspondent Of Lake county, Ohio,
says: Wheat on the sandy and grsVslly
land looks well. In truth, it always looks
well at this time of the season on such
soil, and it not unfrequently happens that
it never afterwards looks so well. This,
however, depends on the season. II it be
moist the wheat will continue to thrive
throughout the growing period
A gentleman who has been travelling
through Fairfield end Perry counties says
much of the wheat is ruined by the severe
march weather. Corn planting has CON-
msnced, and the prospect is fair. Apples
and cherries viii be abundant, if not in
iured BY late frosts; the trees are now in
full bloom. There VIII be ZONE peaches
and plenty Of small fruit The grass d

The New Party" Movement I'm New
York.

The New York correspondent of the
Detroit Post writes the following:
The Great Union-J Johnson party" has
semitic New York its apostles and mission
aries preaching, converting and promising
sweet things in the name of the Office
granting divinity. There is a list carried
about to be signed, and, above all, to be
substantially subscribed. Mr.. Kelly, the
Postmaster-is n of the men heading this
list. OF course Federal offeo-holders are
particularly requested to come forth as
followers of the Savior in the White
House. How far the preachers Of the
Sewsrd-JohnsOn gospel will be successful
remains to be seen. I know of two in
stances in which an apostle, instead of
meeting with repenting sinners, found
rather out-spoken and obstinate heather.
What's your aim p asked the first one.
the devoted servant of johnson.
Well, sir, you see, we intend to fight
the Copperheads and-the Radicals
$50! that's i'll Now, sir, I don't see
itP was the answer.
Another gentleman replied: 81 to sign
q pledge to fight the Radicals 1 tell you,
sir, I rather would cut of my right hand.

Let US hope that many similar rebukes
will be administered to the emissaries of
the White House.

IaereasinG the PoIIee FOree.

We observe that the Board of Police
Commissioners have requested authority
to increase the police force to sixty men,
and that the City Council now have the
matter under consideration We trust
that there may be no hesitation or delay
on the part of that body in granting the
requested authority. The needs of the
city certainly require an increased force.
The Metropolitan Police Act limits the
number of patrolmen to one for every
thousand inhabitants, which is certainly a
small enough number. But there ID a
further limitation in the fact that the
number Of inhabitants is to be ascertained
BY reference to the last Federal census.
Now, in 1850, when the last Federal cen
sus was taken, the population of Cleveland
was 4s,4lT, and forty-three patrolmen may
have been sufficient. Bat in 1865,
when our population numbers fully sixty
five thousand FOULS, two-score patrolmeA
are entirely Inadequate. Every business
man knows that h protection afforded
to property by u present police arrange
msnts are by no means what they should
be. The most conclusive evidence Of this
is the fact that over forty private watch
men-an number almost equal to the total
police force, and considerably greater
than that of the night poliee-are employ
ed by the business man Of the city to do
what the police force are paid and ex-
pscted to do. By increasing the police
force twenty men, all theSs night wa tch-
men may be done away with, and the en-
tire guardianship Of property be entrust-
cd to an adequate force Of responsible
men, controlled and directed by one CEN
trail authority. This the Police Commits
sioners have power to do, if they obtain
the consent of the City Council.

the celebration of the passage of the Civil
Rights bill was suppressed by the aid of
the military under command Of Major
Stanhope. In the performance of this

to the very small number of troops at his

by the mob of white citizens, who threat

NEGRO TESTIMONY IN ARKANsAs.

The Assistant Commissioner of the
Freedmen's Bureau, in the states of Mis-
souri, and Arkaneas, in his last report,
says that it is an in~disputable fact that
very much of the cheerful industry of the
freedmen is owing to the confidence they
have in the military authorities and the
Bureau to protect them in their civil and
personal rights. Under the present laws
there, the testimony Of a negro can not
be received in any court against a white
man. When, therefore, justice demands
the admission ofsuch testimony, the cases
are tried by a court of this Bureau. When
the negro testimony can be dispensed
with the cases are turned over to the
civil courts.

The principal objection to the amendment

urs being tackled on an appropriation bill.
1t WAS urged that such law, if passed in
the caseaof postmasters, would be equally
just to have applied to all other officers
whose appointment require tho Senste's
confirmation. The vote on this PROPOSE
ton will probably be bad to-morrow.

am constrained to say that I look upon
this objection to the bill as a mere bubble
on the Part of the President, and at being
hard pressed for some excuse in withhold
ing his approval of the measure; and his
sllusion TO foreigners in this connection
looks to me more like the ad ~c1ptGHdum
of the mere politician and the demagogue,
than a grave and sound reason to be of
fered by the President Of the United
States in a veto message upon so impor-
tant a measure as the homestead bill.

When bare majorities have passed bills,
it is a salutary check TO arrest what may
be called hasty and Incorporate legisla-
ton. I have advocated its exercise,
though seldom and cautiously, with that
view; but, sir, when, according to the
if not according to the exact letter
of the Constitution, a measure has been
passed by two-thirds vote of both Houses,
after a discussion of fifteen years, showing
it is not hasty or improvident legis-
lation-I say respect to both Houses of
Congress, should have been a great in
ducement to the Executive to approve
such a bill.

WHEN A VOTE Is IMPROPER.

But here, in the teeth of the Executive,
there was q two thirds vote in favor of the
bill. The two Houses have said this bill
is constitutional and right. In the other
House, rejecting the popular sentiment of
the nation, the vote was one hundred and
twelve to ffty-one, ten more than a two
thirds majority, which the Constitution
requires; and when there is a two-thirds
vote for a measure, 1 say it is against the
spirit of the Constitution for the Execu-
tive to say, "No; you shall not have this
measure; 1 will take all the chances of
vetoing it."

THE JEWEL CONSISTENCY.

The President of the United States pre-

two Houses of Congress, in violation of
the spirit, if not the letter of the Consti-
tuition, that this measure should not be-
come a law. Why do l say this? 1 ask
is there any difference in the spirit of the
Constitution whether a measure is sane
toned by a two-thirds vote before its pas
sage or afterward When a measure has
been vetoed by the President, the Con-
stitution requires that it shall be recon-
sidered and passed by a two-thirds vote,
in order to become a law.
