OF all tho notable things on earth,
Tho qucercst ono il pride Of birth,
Among Our "Acrco Democracy"
A bridge across an hundred ycars.
Without prop to save from sncers,
No: even couple Of rotten piers:
A thing for laughter. sncers, and jccrs,
Is American ariStocracy!
Depend upon it, my snobbish friend,
Your family thread you can't ascend,
Without good reason to apprehcnd
You may find it waxed at tho other end,
by some plebcian vocation;
Or, worse than that, your boasted line
May end in loop Of stronger twinc,
That plagued some worthy relation.
Because you flourish in world affairs,
Don t bc naughty and put on airs,
With inSolcnt pride Of station;
Don't be proud and turn up your nose
At poorer people in palmer clothes,
But learn for the sake Of your minds rcposc
That wcnlths bubble TINT comes and goo'
And that all proud flesh, whcrc'cr it grows
Is subject to irritation.

Rumors of the resignation of Gen.
O. O. Howard rs Commissioner of
the Frcedmens Bureau are again
afoat. There is no truth whatever
i'll the statement. Gen Howard is q
regular army officer, detailed to take
charge Of the freedmen's affairs, and
cannot resign. He could be relieved,
but no application to be relieved will
be made, as the President would con-
strue the wish into an acknowledge
ment, on the part Of the General,
that he was unable to administer the
affairs of the department, and Presi-
dent johnson would claim this justi-
tication for the dismissal from the
army Of a well-known gallant officer,
Gen. Howard's friends insist that he
shall not place himself in such false
position, and Secretary Stanton plain
ly and emphatically asserts that so
long as he is chief of the War De
partment, Gen. Howard shall remain
Commissioner of the Bureau.

The Chattanooga Union gives an
account OF n negro who was attacked
by the small pox, and was taken by
his relatives to an abandoned fort,
imprisoned and left to die. He
escaped, and some days after his body
was discovered by the presence of
buzzards. Soon after another negro
was similarly treated with like results.
The Onion states that some months
ago the Freedmen's Bureau collected
one dollar from every negro adult in
town to establish hospital for their
treatment when taken sick with
small pox. What has become of it?
Probably gone into the capacious
pockets Of the agent.

1t is Il curious historical fact that
the Philadelphia local officials were
rs much incensed against President
Jackson for his war upon the United

that municipality to-day with Presi-

to restore the Union in all its integ-
rity. President Jackson was refused
a reception when he visited that city
in much the same manner as Presi-
dent johnson was refused reception.
For all that. Andrew johnson will as
surely be the means of restoring the

The Right Name.
We do not know who has the honor
of clubbing the faction which now
keeps the country in distraction with
the name Of radicals; but whoever it
was, showedahimseifa an apt god
father, for no more appropriate name
could be found in all the political
lexicons Of the wofM. The members
of that faction vera born radical,

hoped Shortly Araadica1 t6 the last

The present Chief Magistrate of
the Union is the principal object of
their mnlignity, and we have little
doubt, had they the courage, they
would depose him in some other way
than by an Impeachment. He has
thus far foiled them, to the extent of
his Constitutional powers, in their
more wicked schemes; and it is to be
hoped that he will, eventually, by the
aid of the true people of the country,
be able to crush out and demolish the
whole cabl.
They now make q new. .demonstra-
ton, not only against the President,
but for the abolition of the Presidency
itself rs an institution of the Govern
ment. One Of the most influential
organs of the party-the Boston
Consmos,cedAh-is rather glad than
otherwise at the strife now existing
between the Legislative and executive
departments Of the Government, on
tho ground that it win eventuate in
the abolishment of the office.o of Pre-
sident altogether. It says, ssthe coun-
try can do very we'll without Chief
Magistrate, and that the Constitution
must be SO changed as to remove all
check upon Congress.
We do not regard with much ap-
prehension, the rawlings of Thad.
Stevens or the braying of Brownlow;
but the article from which we quote
above is deliberately written, and is
an unmistakable manifestation Of the
schemes of the radicals for the CEN
tralization of power and the ruin Of
the country. Should these destruct-
ives acquire the power they are now
fighting like devils to obtain, they
would wipe out the Constitution al
together and convert this country
into pandemonium of anarchy and
universal rioting in wickedness of
every form. God save the Republic
from such destiny.

The Charlotte Democrat, speaking
Of the crops and prospect of bread,
says: eve do not think the scarcity
in this section will be anything like
what it was feared it would be a few
weeks ago-the recent rains having
done much good"
The same paper says:
From Lincoln and CASTOR Conn-
ties we hear cheering reports about
the crops. A few localities in those
Counties have suffered little from
drouth, but generally the prospect is
fair; the late rains in this section have
done much good.
"But we are sorry to hear of poor
prospects In Union County. The
whole of that County appears to have
suffered from drouth.

Our RECEIPTS OF GoLD FROM EU-
RopE.-Gold still continues to come
over to this country from Europe in
heavy shipments. On the 10th in
slant, the steamer City of Boston,
from Liverpool, bought over $3.50
600, and the Hermann, from South
ampton, brought $31O, 600. Then we
have the information by the cable
that ou the 9Th .of September, the
Jura sailed from that port with
nearly $1,5oo, 600 in gold among her
precious freight. At this rate, the
term sporadic will hardly apply to
this returning tide in gold; but It
must be attributed to some general
and important reaction abroad in
favor of American securities and in
vestments. Meantime, our increased
receipts OF gold from California, Ari-
Zona, &C., are equally remarkable.
Our receipts from San Francisco
since January of this year have been
over S29, ,OO0,0 900, against some $12,-
100000 for the same period last
year. With such substantial facts in
our favor, we cannot perceive why an
early return to the specie standard
and specie prices should be regarded
rs an impossible achievement Every
thing is operating in favor of this
great result, it appears to us, except
the head Of the Treasury, who does
not seem to comprehend the means
and advantages within his grasp.

8Sarr,r' Duty.


The Hon. Alexander H. Stephensl
has @rittap a 1s<ter to Q friend sAew]
Orleans, which lis published iA the
Times, of that city. The following is
the dosing Paragraph. refeexina o.
the Philadelphia conservative Con-
vention: E% a
s'I hope good will come from the
proceedings of that assemblage.
God, in his mercy and WISDOM how
ever, only knows what is to be the
future of this country, The destiny
of States, as wen as Of individuals, is
in His hands. All that we poor NOR
tails can do is to discharge our duty
rs well as we can from the lights be-
fore us, and then bow submissively
to His will"
Mr.. Stephens does not counsel
supine resignation to the Divine will,
but tells the Southern men, at the
same time, that they must discharge
their duty as well as they can from
the lights before them. Those lights
show us that the doom of the South
is sealed, if the conservative elements
of the North and West should be
overwhelmed by the maddened
masses which the radicals may be
ablc to muster at the coming cleo
ton. They show us of the South the
grim fate which awaits us in the
future, viz: confscation, dishonor
and extermination. The mind can
scarcely picture the horrors cf the
scenes through which the people of
the South Will be called to pass,
should the enemies of the President
and the Constitution prevail.
1t is we'll, then, that We should be
counselled to do our whole duty.
We can only do this by cordial sup
port of the policy enunciated by
President johnson and endorsed by
the Convention to which Mr.. Ste
phens was q delegate. It will not do
to sit with folded arms and s'lope
good will come from the proceedings
of that assemblage. 1t will not do
to go to work to pick out flaw here
and another there, in the declaration
of principles set forth by that body
of conservative leading men, Assem-
bled in deiberative council from all
sections of the country. 1t will not
do to observe what some call ga dig
nified silence" when all the courage
and manhood of the whole people
are demanded to save that country
from ruin and our own sunny South
from the fate of ST. Domingo. No!
1t is our duty to do all VIC can do ri
this time, and that is to give Presi-
dent Johnson, and the party which
has rallied around him, the assurance
that the people of the Southern
States will support them in every way
possible throughout the struggle fol
Constitutional liberty. South Caro-
lima, above all her Southern sisters,
should not remain silent.

The EFFECT OF PHILADELPHIA RA-
D1cALIsM.-A correspondent writes
from Baltimore MS follows:
The recent conduct of the radical
officials upon the visit Of the Presi-
dent to Philadelphia, is at this time
receiving its just reward in the posi-
tive refusal of Southern merchants
to go there for supplies. An instance
was to-day furnished of this fact by
the return to Baltimore of a number
Of merchants of South Carolina, rep.
resenting q capital of 500, 900, who
had intended to purchase there, but
were deferred from doing so by the
disgraceful and dastardly action of
the municipal authorities when the
city was honored by the Chief Magis-
trate. This threw quito large share
of cash into our merchants hands,
and it is to be hoped they will i'm
prove such and similar circumstances.

The following extract from Clown
sends Encyclopedia of the Great
Rebellion" shows that Massachusetts,
in times past, as now, favored the
policy of obstruction when it was de-
sired to add State to the Union:
In January, 1911, the author of
this reminiscence was at Washington.
The question of admission of Louisi-
ana, then Territory, into the Union
as State, was under consideration.
Mr.. Poydras was the delegate to
Congress. He was Erenchman, and
could not address the House in Eng
lish. Mr. Poindcxter, the delegate
from Mississippi, was assigned the
duty of presenting and advocatingt the
admission Of Louisiana into the Union
as State.
Josiah Quincy, member from Bos-
ton, opposed the admission with
great vehemence. He denouncedt the
purchase of Louisiana and the gene
ral principles of the Jefferson and
Madison Administrations, and said it
might be necessary for Massachusetts
to secede from the Union ''Amica-
bly, if we can, violently if we must"

It is with extreme regret that we
chronicle TIE retrelnent 0f tue Hon.
Ben. Wood, from che editorial con-
dnct of the above named iournal
Our readen are hot unfamiliar With
sthe tone eld character OF the. Ne,cs,
for we have frequently extracted
from its columns. It was one of the
few journals of New York which, from
the beginning, was firm and con-
sistent advocate of the rights of the
South; and since the close of the war,
has done good and efficient service in
battling against the radicals and their
wicked measures. = (
a Mr.. Wood became tho proprietor
Of the Neps. in 1860, and for his hold
apd manly articles, denouncing the
war and vindicating the South, Mr..
Seward's little bell closed the Office of
the Ne,rs, for eighteen months. AS
soon us the suppression of newspapers
became odious to the people, Mr..
Wood again issued tho Ne,cs, and the
first number of its reissue, in the
tone and character of it's articles, was
even stronger, if possible, in denun-
citation of the war and in defence of
the Constitution and the rights of
the people. Through all the vicissi-
tudes of the campaign, the leading
articles of the Ne,rs were marked by
an ability and dignity which com
aanded the attention of the people.
:. The Ners had become great
favorite at the South, and deservedly
SO. Its proprietor was liberal and
opeh-heartcd to many Of its citizens
who needed aid, and especially did
Mr.. Wood extend helping hand to
the proprietors of the Southern
press, in enabling them, when their
property was destroyed, to resume
the publication OF their journals.
When the proprietor of the Phosni.e
visited New York to make arrange
ments for the improvement and en-
largement of his paper, he found no
truer or more substantial friend than
Mr.. Wood, and takes occasion, on
the retirement of that gentleman
from the field of journalism, to make
his grateful Acknowledgements, and to
speak those words of kindness, ex-
pressive of friendly interest in, his
future prosperity and happiness,
which we find to be the universal
tenor of all the articles written by
our cotemporaries in noticing Mr..
Woods withdrawal from the duties
and labors of journalist.
