of the success at the polls of the very party OBJ
STRUGGLING his measures and heaping personal in.
dignities upon him This preposterous position
was taken IN the New Hampshire election last
week, and supported" forsooth, by a letter
from Postmaster General Dennison, who, in an
swer to an inquiry, stated that it was not con-
templated to discharge subordinates in his de-
partment for voting for the republican candid
ates; which, quite illogically, was construed in
to an expression by he president ola desire for
the success of those candidates, the fact being
that he was not consulted at ALL and had no
knowledge of Mr. Dennison's letter But no
sooner was the election over and New Hampshire
carried Though by reduced majority than the
whole radical party were rejoicing over the re-
suit as a condemnation of President Johnson and
an Endorsement of Thad. Stevens Il Co
In striking contrast with this attitude of the
radicals, we see the democratic party laying
aside all partisan considerations and rallying
with the conservative republicans to support the
president and help him to carry out his excellent
programme of restoring the Union and bringing
about permanent peace. There ia equiVoca-
ton, falterng, in their position as to the con-
test between the chief magistrate and the rump
congress. Is it, then, any wonder that the presi-
dent should receive this proffered friendship with
pleasure and grstitudeP Is it surprising that at
this time he is looking into the political behavior
Of his ofice-hoders, and, where he finds them
inimicsl, is quietly taking steps to lessen their
ibhuense anu discourage similar nostlnty In Otft
ers? A good many, whose radicalism seems
greater than their discretion, have already suf-
tered the....penaltyi of their temefity, and no
doubt tho example will have wholesome ef-
feet.
There are still some evidences desired that the
president is an out-and-out Andy johnson man,
though we are far from meaning that there is any
want of confidence as to his determination to
stand by his declarations and not yield his own
opinions to the dictation of congress. His sta
ton may not, does not, comport, to be sure,
with political intrigues. He would not, perhaps,
be justified in descending to what is termed cleo
pioneering; but he should have no hesitation in
declaring, on proper occasions, whom he looks
upon as his friends and which side of the pop
ular contests in the states is most in accordance
with the policies of his administration. In APP
pealirg from a fanatical congress to the intelli
gent Judgment of the people, he would hardly be
doing justice to himself were he by silence to
permit the verdict to be vague, inconclusive and

why the Ice Don't Go Out.

EDITOR ARGUs-I see you laugh at the
idea of the skating parks having anything TO
do with the movesent of the ice in the river.
The question may be easily settled. Speak
ing mathematically, you have three quaint
ties which affect this result, namely: The
land resistance the quantity of the ice and
the temperature of the atmosphere. Let
these quantities be fixed and the ice, year by
year, will leave at the came hour and min
ute, for nature Is never capricious and never
hlunders. But while one of the three guam
tities is fixed, the other two are variable, and
the variation of either of them, to q hairs
breadth, modifies the result. This year the
temperature allowed the ice 10 move sons
weeks ago. Why did it not keep moving,
then? The only reason for the stoppsge is
to be found in the resisting action and resc-
ton OF the land and the ice. The ice, by ar
tiicial means. had gos large volume. The
increased action thus caused fixed it The
Zoe from above came down with the force of

legal rights ~ freedmen and American citi-
gems; they will demand the protection of the
laws of their country; and it charged with
crime, or drawn into controversy about pro-
court and . jury, and will refuse to be tried
by any petty despot, detailed from the
army" whether he be white or black.
Constitutional government and liberty by
Law are worth fighting for. We have just
passed through q bloody war to maintain
them against one set of traitors, and have
no doubt that the people will be as ready, if
need be, to resist in the same way any other
set of traitors who seek to destroy the legal
governments by insidious artifce and bold
usurpation.
An eminent publicist mill, on represent
alive government, gives it as his opinion that
representative institutions depend for their
permanency upon the readiness of the people
to fight for them in case of their being en-
dangered. If too little valued for this. they
seldom obtain footing at all, and, if they
do, are almost sure to be oveYthrown as soon
as the head of the government or any party
leader who can muster force for coup de
main is willing to run some small risk for
absolute power"
think it a fortunate thing for the country
that the radical faction ia 80 demented as to
pick quarrel with the president because he
refuses to be their instrument to overturn the
constitution and substitute in its place a mil.
itary despotism, and to stake their political
fortunes upon the monstrous vices and follies
of the Trumbull bill. For, in doing so, they
do but insure their own defeat, and, conse
quently, the restoration of law, order and
peace, and a revival of national respect for
legal government and national love for lib.
ersy by law.
Even the emancipated negro, for whose
sake it is pretended that this wrong is done,
will not long fail to see the hypocricy and
fraud of the transaction. They will see that
while they are caiolsd with the pretence Of
liberty and equality before the law, thi,
| wicked bill subjects them to the power o.
military cverseers, excludes them from al
legal protection, denies them the rig ht to ap
peal to the courts of law for redress Of griev
ances, and requires the agents and officers o
the bureau to take jurisd ction of all cases
which concern them and their interests.
Very respectfully, your friend and felow-ci,zen

Friends and Foes.

President johnson, at the close of his mes
sage vetoing the Freedmen's Bureau Bill,
made distinct appeal to the people to sus-
tain his policy of restoration. The masses of
the people, irrespective of party names, do
sustain that policy. But their voice is disre-
garded by the leaders of the reiening faction
in and out OF congress. A Jealous attempt
was made IN the senate, as Ia we'll known, to
pass the Freedmen's Bureau Bill over the
presidents head and notwithstanding his
weighty and convincing objections. Every
republican senator who voted to uphold the
president has been singl led out by the radi-
Gals for condemnation and abuse. The Penn
sylvania state convention of that party re-
Gently unanimously passed resolution de-
handing the resignation of Senator Cowsn.
In Connecticut, Senator Dixon has been out

president had noticed in terms the reverse OF

Tbaddeus Stevens and John w. Forney, have
been formally extolled aud indorsed in a set
OF resolutions by representative bodies of the
republican (radical) party. Different state
legislatures controlled by this party have Off
cialiy condemned the course of the president
and approved that of congress. Such news-
paper organs as the New York Tribune,
Washington Chronicle, Philadelphia Press,
Cincinnati Gazette, Chicago Tribune, Chicago
Republican, with many others we could
name, daily pursue the same line of conduct,

Mack" the Washington correspondent of
Cincinnati Commercial in his last letter says:
1t is pretty well known that there is wide
spread Dissatisfaction. bordering on a spirit
of mutlny, existing among the large mum Der
of volunteer troops who were retained in the
service more than year beyond the term OF
their enlistment, and kept on GARRISON duty
in the south and on Monroe Doctrine duty in
Texas. There is q disposition to blame the
war department for this act of injustice and
fragrant breach of contract, but a case cannot
be made out against Mr.. Stanton without lay
ing the sins of others at his door, and il is
generally concluded that he has enough pee
adiloes Of his own 10 snswer for. These faults
rest with congress and nowhere else. 1t is
very clear that the volunteer cannot be dis
charged until the regular army is organized
and recruited to a size sufficient for the mill
tary requirements OF the country. 1t was
the duty OF congress to have passed the reg
ular army bill three months ago, for the very
purpose of releasing the volunteers, but in.

The Population of the Globe.

There are on the globe about l.2sS millions of
souls, OF which
3o9 millions are OF the Caucasian race;
552 millions of the Mongol race:
100 millions are of the Ethiopian race:
l76 millions are of the Malay race;
! million are OF the Indo American race.
There are J, 642 languages spoken and |, 900 dif-
ferent religions.
The yearly mortality of the globe 333, 1888, 1893
persons. This Is at the rate of 81 ,554 day, g.
$50 per hour, 90 per minute. So each pulsation
of our heart marks the decease of some huma n
creature.
The average of human life is 33 years.
one-fourth of the population dies at or before
the age OF seven years-one- half at before sew
enteen years.
Among 100000 persons, one arrives at the age
of loo years, one in 900 attsIns the age of 90,
and one IN 100 lives to the age of 60.
Married men live longer than single ones. In
200 persons 90 marry, and more marriages occur
in June and December than in any other months
of the year.
One-eght of the whole population is military.
Professions exercise great influence on longev-
ity. In one thousand individuals who arrive at
the age of 10 years. AZ are priests orators, or pub
lie speakers: 40 are agricuturists, 30 are work
men, 30 soldiers or military employees, 90 adyo-
Gates engineers, % professors, and "a doctors.
Those who devote their lives to the prolongation of
others die the soonest.
There are $50 millions Christians
There are 5 millions Israelites:
There are 90 millions Asiatic religions.
There are 100 millions Mohemetans.
There are 200 millions Pagans.
In the Christian churches,
no millions profess the Roman Catholic.
20 millions profess the Greek faith.
so millions profess the Protestant.
