A LAME DUCK.

One of the most virulent of the Radical
papers in the West is the Chicago Republican.
1t never gets up in the morning, nor lies
down at night, without special prayer of
vengeance against President johnson. 1t
calls him by all sorts of bad names, and ac-
cuses him of all sorts of bad feelings and
designs. 1t is edited by a man named
CHARLES A. DANA, who received his edu-
cation from HORACE GREELEY, in the office
of the New York Tribune. He is very bad
egg. The reason of his opposition to the
President is owing to the fact that he is not
the Collector of Customs at the port of New
York. To show which the following is suf-
ficient:
CHICAGO, Jan. 20, 1S66.-To the President: Dear
Sir-SOme of my friends in the New York delega-
ton in Congress want me to be Collector of New
York. | shall be glad to have that Office, and ac-
cordlngly address myself to you. have been
resident of New York city for nearly twenty years
till a few months since when | came here on leav
ing the War Department. | know New FORK, its
merchants and politicians, but, by reason of my
connection with the War Department, | have
been absent to be free from all Identification
with the political factions OF personal controversy
by which the Union party there has been much
divided. j believe that there is no person of any
prominence in the party whose appointment
would give greater general satisfaction than mine.
Should you be disposed so far to entertain the
idea as TO wish for information concerning my ca
pacity to administer the Office, there is no one
who can Judge better as to that than Mr.. Stanton.
Let me add that am, myself, confident of per-
forming the duties, should they be intrusted to
me. to the advantage of the public service and to
your entire satisfaction.
am, with profound respect, your faithful serv't.
(Signed) CHAs. A. DANA.

TEMPER OF THE SOUTH.

In nineteen cases out Of twenty, says the
St. Louis Republican,, the complaints of those
who seek to create the impression that the
lives and property of Northern men in the
South are not safe, are the sheerest fabrica-
tons, and in the other twentieth, we can
suggest a reason for the testimony of the
witnesses summoned before the Committee
of Fifteen" not yet adve~ted to, but which
furnishes an easy key to their aaimas. Ger
tain Northern men, especially military
gentlemen, are mortified and indignant to
find that Southern society is not open to
them, as it once was. Can this be wondered
at? Is it reasonable to expect that social
intercourse should at once be reinstated un-
der the sting Of wounds which hayescarcely
ceased to bleed, and when those who inflicted
them are continually pouring in caustie
instead of oil?

THE TWO PER CENT. MERCHANT
TAX.

To the merchants of Tennessee the two
per cent. tax levied by the present Legis-
lature is the man Of Sinbad, the Sailor. 1t
hangs around their necks TO their utter pros
tration; and though they have borne it for a
time, il will soon exhaust them. When the
Legislature was in the midst of its proceed
ings We called their attention to the subject,
and endeavored toplace such reasons before
them as would induce its immediate repeal.
But being more intent upon DISTINGUISHING
than dealing justly by the people, the major
lily passed our suggestions and arguments
over to the unfinished business, and there is
now no telling when il will be reached.
We speak Of il now to offer a suggestion
10 our merchants and people. 1t is to avail
themselves Of the existing interim of legis-
lation, TO acquaint their representatives with
their wishes Upon the subject. This has no
thing TO do with rebellion and franchise.
The Legislature has already provided for
the issuance Of bonds to meet the interest on
the public debt which is past due and cur
rent, and the Governor has given public no.
tice that the bonds were ready for sale and
delivery. The ordinary expenses of the State
can be met in the ordinary way, and there
is neither rhyme nor reason in continuing
an onerous burden upon the people in the
shape Of this two per cent. tax. 1t is the
peoples money that pays it at last and they
should make il their business TO see their re-
representatives. and inform them emphatical-
ly that its continuance is useless and OPP
pressive.
Further than this, the merchants have it
in their power TO exert powerful influence,
by correspondence with their customers
throughout the State. The mercantile in
tereist should be concentrated, and the whole
influence and weight Of that large and in
telligent class of our people, be brought to
bear in one direction, and in the right direc-
ton. Every bill of goods that goes out,
ought to have line attached upon this sub
ject, and the merchants Of every county in
the State should lose no time in acquaint-
ing their respective members with the de-
mands of their people.
There is no real diversity upon this
question. and il should enlist the attention
Of all alike.

FENIAN MATTERS.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March list Pat
rick's day was not celebrated here on &C
count of the state of affairs in Ireland.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 17.-St Pat
rick's day was celebrated here by large
procession. Bishop Grace and Governor
Marshall made speeches, strongly denomc-
ing the Fenians, and warning the Irish
people against them.
New York, March 18.-A special Otta-
wa, Canada, dispatch of the 18th, says
that all is quiet There was no procession
Leading Irishmen having decided to sub
stitute banquet.
Much satisfaction is expressed in high
quarters at the good faith of the United
States Government.
A special from Toronto says that all is
quiet.
At Kingston the troops were under arms
all the previous night, but no enemy showed
themselves.
The Canadian Parliament is prorogued
until the oath of March, and is not then to
meet for the dispatch of business.
1t is reported at Toronto that heavy can
nonading and small arms were heard at
Port Sarnia Saturday morning; this is
probably false report to alarm the Cana
dians. There is considerable anxiety to hear
from the frontier points.
A battery was loaded on train Friday
night, ready to run 70 the frontier.
MONTREAL, c. W., March 1S-Reports
from all the principal towns in the Province,
received last night, show that no outbreak
has occurred anywhere.
Apprehensions of any successful raid or in
vasion have subsidized; but preparations are
not relaxed. 1t is reported that an attempt
is threatened about the ed inst, but the
Orangemen of the province are ready at a
moments warning.
The Times Montreal correspondent says
that the drain upon the Savings Bank has
been quite important. Depositors residing
fall fifty miles from Montreal have been ar
irving in hot haste during the past four days
to relieve their little all froEi seizure by the
Fenians. An increase Of the volunteer force
to p, 900 men is highly probable, and in adj
di.ion to this there is a probability OF arm
ing home guard of 10000 men. The vol
unteers now orgsnized cost $4,000 per day.
The support of each man, exclusive Of arms
and ammunition supplied by the British
Government may be fairly estimated at $40
per man. We have, therefore, since Thurs
day lat, when men came first under pay, a
colonial expenditure Of $3.50, 600 in gold.
