A LEADING Western Radical paper says
"the President considers himself the Govern
ment of the United States" The President
certainly does consider himself very consid-
cradle and important part of the Govern
ment, and proposes to exercise all the power
vested in him as its Chief Executive officer,
and he intends to do this after the letter Of
the Constitution, and in the primitive style,
vigorously, faithfully, and uprightly. He
has not assumed to encroach upon the legiti-
mate sphere Of the other departments of
Government, and does not intend to permit
any interference with his functions by them
without contest, to be decided by the people
the common masters Of them ALL
These Radical gentlemen are getting very
much alarmed at what they call the growth
of Executive power, but there is reason
for their trepidation. They have long since
discovered that ANDREW JOHNSON is not
clay in the hands of the Radical potter, and
that he can be neither cajoled, maneuyered
nor awed into'submission to the dictation of
that faction; and they see, too, that when
radicalism fails to command the entire pow
ers Of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, legisla-
tive and judicial its days are numbered.
An honest independent Judiciary, and a
firm and faithful executive are terrible lions
in the path Of Iawlessness. The Radicals
have recently discovered that both of them
have too much authority, but it is a proverb
that malefactors have no good opinion Of the
law or its officers.

When ANTONY returned from Egypt, to
patch up a reconciliation with OCrAvIUs
CESAR, the young Romans eagerly ques-
toned him about the wonders of that mar
velous land, and received the most satisfac-
tory answers especially about that strange
weeping monster, the crocodile. So we may
imagine the Southern inhabitants inquiring
of their returned delegates concerning the
strange being in the Presidency, who is al
ternately so savage and so soft, so mOnstrous
and so maudlin, so truculent and so fearful.
LEPIDIUs.-What manner o thing is your
crocodile?
ANToNY-It is shaped, sir, like itself;

LONDON, August 25.-The following dis.
patches have been received:
VIENNA, August 25.-The Emperor FRAN
CTS JOSEPH has determined to strengthen his
Empire, as well as his hold on the affections
and loyalty of his subjects, by granting a
new constitution and ministry to Hungary.
1t is announced officially that a new minis
try will soon be formed for Hungary, on the
basis of the constitution granted to the Mag
vars in lS4S, the revocation Of which was
the cause of the Hungarian revolution in
184S.
PARIS, Aug. 25, P. M.-The Empress
CARLoTTA will not return to Mexico, and
it is considered on all hands that the En-
peror's stay in that country approaches its
end 1t is authoritatively announced that
if additional French troops are sent to Mex
leo it will be only sufficient number to
protect the interest of French subjects during
the fall of the empire, and it seems that in
a quiet evacuation of Mexico they will not
be used to sustain the dynasty of MAXI
MILAN.
PRAGUE, Aug. 25.-The cession Of Venitia
to Italy is fully accomplished.
Before the treaty of peace between Prus-
STA, Austria, Italy and Bavaria was signed.
Austria freely and unreserYedly ceded We
nitia to VICTOR EMANUEL.
LONDON, August 25-P. M.-Advioes have
been received to-day, from Port D'Game,
Island Of Ceylon, via the Prussian Gulf and
the Mediterranean Sea, that a civil war has
broken out in Japan.

REV. WIZ. OVTATT.

A correspondent of the Nashville UNION
AND AMERICAN, writing from this place,
last week, makes an unwarrantable attack
upon the Rev Mr. OvIATT, of this place.
Every one Of the accusations made against
him are base iabrications, without the shadow
of foundation, and never were heard of by
our citizens until seen in the columns of the
UNION AND AMERICAN. Mr.. OvIATT came
amongst us last winter-bought property
and settled down as a citizen, and not as a
missionary to preach to the blacks. He
il a Baptist Minister, but he does not con-
fine his labors exclusively TO that church
he breaches to all denominations, both white
and black In fact, wherever he finds work
10 do in the cause Of christianity, he does it.
During his residence here he has won the
esteem and confidence Of all our citizens, and
particularly the different christian denomi-
nations-he has conducted and demeaned
himself as a christian gentleman. He is
not only a good christian but he Is a most
excellent citizen, and the only regret we
have is that we have not more Of the same
sort" in our community. The author Of the
communication alluded to was grossly inn
posed upon by some malicious person-we
think we know him-he is a gentleman and
would not wilfully misrepresent a man If he
knew IT, This being the case we hope our
friends Of the UNION AND AMERICAN viii
place ParSon OvIATT in that attitude before
the public that his christian and gentle
manly department entitle him 10 while a
citizen in our midst.-CieuolGHdB Banner, pan.

THE Sphygmograph is the name Of new
invention for measuring and recording on
paper the action of the human pulse. The
principal idea Of it is, that the short arm Of
light lever is applied to the pulse, and at
the end Of the long arm is a very delicate
pencil, which passes over a roll Of paper,
which roll moves by clock work, similar to
what is seen in telegraph offices The effect
is then, instead Of straight line being
made on the paper, a wavy enc Is produced
by the expansions and contractions OF the
pulse and this line differs according to the
age, health and disease Of the patient. some
very interesting results and discoveries have
been made BY the use Of this instrument
as phenomena which it would be impossible
to detect in the ordinary way are clearly
written on paper

TIE NEW ORLEANS RADICALS.


The following dispatch from New Orleans
appears in the New York Tribune They
think it will be worth something in the en-
suing elections:
''The New Orleans Tribune, the only loyal
daily newspaper in the city, has been COM
PEELED to suspend publication. Immediately
after the massacre a military guard was fur
nished for the protection of the office and its
employees. The guard was removed yes
terday, and as the lives of the editors and
printers have been repeatedly threatened,
the proprietors have been reluctantly forced
to close up the establishment. A military
force Of five hundred men is permanently
located and kept in the heart of the city.
-Four hundred men are quartered in the
Commercial Hotel, and one hundred in La
fayette Square, opposite the City Hall.
"Gen. SHERIDAN has been applied to by
many Union men for protection from known
assassins who constantly dog them through
the streets.
"a delegation has been appointed to at
tend the loyal Convention at Philadelphia.
The members are afraid to have their names
Published, fearing they would beassassinated
before they left the city"

THE Hum OF Business throng OF
country buyers in our city is daily increas-
ing, and we hear Of more on the way. This
has given a fresh impulse to the demand
from iobbers, and tradeis rapidly improving.
We notice that credit is more frequently
asked, and more fSeely given than in either
of the last three or four years. While this
shows an increasing general confidence in
the stability of trade, it is hardly consistent
with wise forecasting of events likely 70
occur. This is Just the period when over
trading, if extensively practiced, is certain
10 precipitate a disastrous financial crisis;
and too easy credits are a certain stimulus to
an excessive trade. Buyers with ready cash
may not always be secured, but recklessness
in granting credits is going much too far in
the other extreme. Our dry goods jobbers
stand strongly, although they have made
little money the last seven months; but nei-
Their they nor the wholesale groeers and
hardware houses can afford to distribute a
large stock, at present rates, broadcast over
the country, and trust their harvest entirely
to a future ingathering Of collections. This
recklessness is born Of too fierce rivalry
and oyermuch competition, and the best and
shrewdest houses DO not indulge in it. We
hope the others will be warned in time
With this exception, the aspect Of business
is promising, and our city is fairly begin
ming TO resume Its wonted eheerfulness, amid
the din and bastle Of returned trade.--A. T..

WENDELL PHILLIPS, the silver-tongued
apostle Of agitation and discori, is suggested
as a candidate for Congress in the Third
Massachusetts, District. There being but
little prospect Of having Conservative man
from that locality as a representative in

be Objectionable to have PHILLIPS there-a
plsin-spoken, outright downright, upright
Radical-one who means what he says, and
SAYS what he means. lie isceriainly preiera-
bic to the BANKsEs, BoUTwEBIs, BUTLERs
and that set of trading politicians. PHILLIrs
is rich, smart and eloquent, and don't care a
continental or Confederate postage stamp for

for the pure love Of the thing, and has way
Of making jerked beef out Of the trimmers
and tricksters who use his creed for selfish
ends, that we have a fondness fer. As
things stand now in Massachusetts,, we
are decidedly in favor Of his election. His
trenchant style Of treating things would
make the issues clear and distinct, and
leave no hiding place in party commit
mittees for electie neering devices under the
cloak Of loyalty" and the "life of the
nation" He could do no harm to the cause
of Conservatism, for he would place error
in a light so brilliant that reason could
see where to strike, and be free to COM
bat it. But he would be a troublesome
colleague for the cunning politicians who
are running the Congressional Radical ma
chine. There would be no shutting then,
and many an arrant Knave would be COM
PEELED to give in evidence, even to the teeth
and forehead Of his faults" WENDELL

GREAT RATIFICATION MEETING
IN MEMPHIS.
The philadelphia convention Endorsed,

Ahe Rhiladelpllia Convention Endorsed
Special to the Union and Americana
MEMPHIS, August 25.-One Of the largest
and most enthusiastic gatherings ever con-
vened in West Tennessee was brought to-
gether in Court Square this evening to ratify
the action and the deliberations of the
National Union Convention atPhiladelphia.
Lieut. Gen. n. B. FORREST was called to
preside, and the list Of Vice Presidents en-
braced many of the most distinguished citi-
zens Of the vicinity without regard to past
party affiliations. The meeting was elo-
quently addressed by Lieut.. Gen. FORREST.
Gen. SToNErAN, U. S. A., Hon. GusrA-
vus HENRY, Hon. L. C. HAYNES, and
others, all Of whom heartily and
strongly indorsed the deliberations Of the
great Convention, and exhorted the people
to give their undivided support to President
JOHNSON. The occasion was in every re-
spect calculated to inspire the masses with
hope for speedy restoration of all their
political rights.

THE Endorsement Of the action of the
Philadelphia Convention by the Southern
press is general and enthusiastic. There are
some exceptions, says the Memphis Com
H,ercial, but the exceptions only prove the
rule, and even these exceptional cases take
care while drawing their protests, to honor
the general tone and tendency Of the reso-
buttons and address. 1t will be ascertained,
before the final verdict of the South shall
have been rendered, that the soldiers who
have done the highest, most solid and most
conspicuous service for the cause TO which
they have been devoted, will be least cap
tious and most prompt in sustaining the
platform in which the National Union Con-
yention has put forth to the country, to save
Us from another civil war.

We learn that Gov. BRowNLoW leaves
for Philadelphia tomorrow morning. He
will, no doubt, be able to present a complete
plan for robbing the people Of their liber-
ties, and if they do not submit, to inaugurate
another war. His recent address to his fol-
lowers indicates a settled purpose to bring
on, if possible, an armed and bloody con-
lict. The belligerent disunionists at Phila-
delphia will fix upon a plan, we have no
doubt which will be designed to produce
renewed bloodshed in the Southern States,
and thus progress from stage to stage, until
the whole country is again wrapped in the
flames Of civil strife. That such is the in
Aention of the Radical leaders, passing events
do not permit MS to doubt. 1t is a gloomy
and horrid perspective, and the only anti
dote to its fatal success, is the frmness and
patriotism ofthe people, which, we devoutly
trust, will be all-suficient.
