THE CosT OF PAyEMENTs.-The Mem
phis and Cincinnati papers are both engaged
in discussing the comparative cost Of the
different kind Of pa'ements. Regarding it
as an interesting question to our city fathers,
we append the following extract from the
Cincinnati Commercia,
A calculation of the cost, for a thirty-six
feet front lot, on a street thirty-six feet in
width from curb to curb, Of the Nicholson
pavement, in comparison with that of our
old style bowlder pavement, will give an
idea of this: Tlrlrty-six feet front by
eighteen feet, half the width Of the street,
would give sevenrT-two square yards Of
pavement, which, al 81 IS would cost S2l2
40; thirty-six feet Of Dayton stone curling,
at 81 20 per lineal foot, would cost $50; and
the grading, at SOC per cubic yard, would
cost, say Sl0-total 1915 40. And the fol-
lowing are the figures of the cost of the
bowlder pavement UPON the same superficial
area Of seventy-two square yards: Pave
ment at 81 0S per square yard, Sl49 70;
curbing of limestone, at 47c. per lineal foot,
SIG 80; grading, say S10-total, SIG 6S.
Excess in cost Of Nicholson pavement over
bowlder pavement, in front Of thirty-six
foot lot, SO ~. Every cent Of this expense
has to be paid by thi. property-owner upon
an assessment of direct special taxation.

smnshinr enc Thermometer.

[From the Columbus Journal, February 2Oth.l
A story is told of an Irishman who,
when he found the thermometer above
ninety and still with an upward tendency,
cursed it for producing the hot weather
but finally, with exquisite skill, "circum-
vented the little basis" by turning it up
side down, so that-to use his accurate and
jubulant language-"the higher it got the
lower it WENT
Something Of this sort of management
seems to have controlled the Commanding
General in the issue of the recent Circnlar
Letter, dated February nth. The Irish
man, with a genius for bulls, and possessed
with a devil of drollery, only turned his
thermometer upside down. The Com
handing General, with the dogg9d de
termination which all through the wal
bore down all opposition of whatever sort
quietly crunches his Thermometer under
his heel, and determines upon fair weather.
With all respect for that grand genius
which enabled the Lieutenant-Genera to
scatter the armed forces OF the enemy like
chaff before the wind, it is impossible not
to feel that here he has made a mistake.
What would be thought ofthe engineer
who, when his sa~fetY-value rose, and the
steam began TO escape, should place addi-
tional weight upon it so as tc keep II
quiet 2 Yet, this is wtat this Circular
Letter proposes to do with our sizzling
brothers of the South.

From the Day ton (Ohiol Journal
Brigadier General Dawson, formerly
Major Dawson, of the staff of Major Gen
eral Thomas J.. Wood, and late Colonel of
the 18th D. Y. L, favored us with a call
yesterday. He rec'lyreturned from Macon,
Georgia, where he was in command O. the
District, and was mustered out of service
with his regiment. General Dawson's
opinion of Georgia, formed under the
most favorable circumstances during some
months s%oiourn among the people, is COM
PROGRESSIVELY stated: "There is not real
loyalty in the Stateo Georgia" During
our brief conversation he remarked that
he was conservative up to the close of hos
%tilities, when he he was placed in COM
mand of the District of Macon. In the
course Of three months his conservatism
was driven out of him by the bitter dis
loyalty of the rebels.
Up to the last moment of his s%ojourn
he discovered no change for the better, on
the contrary the people were more bitter
than ever, and cherished a belief that they
held the balance of political power, and
would soon he in a condition to exercise
it. General Dawson said his opinions are
shared by all intelligent officers in the
South. Only a few weeks ago, while dis
cussing the subject with Major General
Wilson, the latter said; "If anybody in
Georgia tells you that he is a Union man,
tell him he is a liar" General Dawson
entered the service April 18th, 1861, and
was mustered cut last month, having
served nearly five years. He says it is
foolish for Northern men to go into
Georgia to plant, as their lives are not
safe. After his own arrangements are
completed he will return to Macon as
cashier of the Second National Bank of
hat city.

yohn,on,s DeFen.e.

We print in another column the speech
of President johnson to the Oopperhead
Convention which waited on him upon
the 22d. We shall discuss it at length in
future. At present we have only time to
say that it is the most extraordinary ad-
dVess ever delivered by a President of the
United States. When the Chief Magis-
trate Of the United States goes out of his
way to denounce, with scurrilous slang,
the leaders of the party which elected him,
land strives to gain popular sympathy by
~insinuating that he is in danger of a~ssassi-
nation from that party, he stOops to the
low arts Of a demagogue, and fergets the
dignity Of his Office, which even Tyler and
Buchanan never failed to remember and
respect. Mr.. JohnsOn's performance on
Thursday last is more astonishing and
disgusting than his conduct upon his in
1suguratiOn, a year ago, and can only be
excused upon the same hypothesis.
