| We made some remarks in yesterdays
edition on the head-breaking speech by the
| President to injecting of conservative citi-
zens at Washington. We wish now to say
something of the man himself-to walk
around the pedestal on which his fortune
and his capacity have placed him, and to
scan his proportions.
A few short months ago the Southern
people, and we among the number, regard
ed this man as demagOgue and traitor.
Little did we think then that the time would
soon come when, with a clear conscience,
we should write down this same man, Pat
riot and Statesman. We have met men in
the South, who, as President johnson gave
evidence day by day of his appreciation of
his high position and of his determination
to observe his oath and the Constitution,
would still express doubts as to his motives.
They thought that the course he was pur-
suing, was that of veteran demagogue,
seeking reelection to office. What, is it
the instinct of demagogue to hurl def.
ance into the teeth of the powerful and vic
torious and place himself on the side of the
weak and helpless? What could he expect
from the South, that to gain her favor he
should offend so large portion of the party
which elected him, and which would re-
elect him would he but submit to be made
the tool for their nefarious schemes?
We have no right, under divine or human
law, to attribute bad motives to man who
performs good actions, unless we have ir-
refragable proof of the existence of such
motives. But in the case of President
johnson, it is palpable that the natural
course of scheming politicians would be
diametrically opposite to his. We can ac-
count for his actions very readily. He
knows that he has attained as high am Off
cial position as he can reach, and rather
than put his oath out of sight for the sake
OF reelection, he prefers to go to bed every
night with a clear conscience, and to let
his name pass on to history with good in
dorsement. Such is a simple solution of
the Question, and since the late ''crossing of
the Rubicon" by the old gentleman, when
so many radical heads were broken, and on
account of which a radical wall still fills
the air, we hope thatevery man in the South
will subscribe to it. We hope too that those
same Radicals will soon retire into dark
holes-their broken heads bandaged with
foul rags. The public is sick with the stencil
they carry with them. -
But we started out to take the propor-
tions of this man, Andrew johnson. and
the shortest way to the point is to measure
him with other men. We have thought of
two, whose actions remind us OF his. a.'yi
Augustus Caesar foundhimself dictator of
the Roman world after it had been con-
vulsed by two civil wars, closely succeed
ing each other. More than a million citi-
zens had disappeared; whole territories had
been devastated; bitter animositiesexisted,
Augustus, by pursuing a gentle and con-
ciliatory course, lived to see the Roman peo-
pie reunited and happy. ~, Itllli4

Events of much interest, Indicating a
more free intercourse between the Japanese
and the "Western barbarians," are trans
piring on the other side of the globe. The
extract below, from an English paper pub
lished in Japan, furnishes the latest intelli-
gence:
Our readers will be glad to hear of the re-
turn of Her Majesty's ship Princess Royal
and His Imperial Majesty's ship Duplex,
from HiogO-almost simultaneously with
the mail steamer last evening at half-past
six o'clock.
All the news they bring is most satisfac-
tory. The European ministers did not
themselves go to Osaca, but Her Majesty's
gunboat Bouncer went backward and for
ward every day with dispatches. At length
one of the great ministers of state went
down to Hiogo, and had an interview of
t1Ve hours with our representatives. The
various demands OF the treaty power were
laid down, and ten days given for decision
upon thematter of the ratification of the
treaties, and subsequently other ten days
on other affairs. There was, of course,
large amount of opposition; but, at last,
all of the foreign ministers were rather sur
prised than otherwise at the extreme will
lingness to meet their wishes. The result,
according to notification, is: "MicadO rat
ifes treaty tariff to be adjusted; Hiogo
to be opened in 1868, earlier if possible,
and the indemnity money will be paid"
Many landed from the ships and went for
some miles into the country-not one was
received with aught but smiles and the
never-failing kindly o-hai-o, both in town
and country. The Tycoon acted as our
strong friend throughout. A conflict be-
tween the troops of the Tycoon and Chosin
was to have taken place on the 10Th inst,
but did not come off s.sfH t...

Personal.

In the midst of the painful excitement,
that broke upon the country when the tel,
egraph announced the apostacy of Andrew
johnson, 1t was great relief TO hear that
William Dennison yet lived aud was about.
That he started, with Seward, to New York,
and like the Podsnaps and Veneerings
went about" and did something, the teiel
graph informed us, and we felt better. That
William Dennison has his views we have
no question. We never heard his yiews.--,
We never met any one who had heard
them. Still we have faith. We believe the
views are on hand and can be had. when
one goes about it properly. We never WENT
about it properly. We have heard William
'Dennison discourse by the hour, but we
never got view out of him. l' 70'a W
While we have faith in the fact that Will
liam has views, we will hazard the opinion
that he has no convictions. We believe
that were William to break out in convic-
tlons' they would strike in and kill him..
conviction presupposes a brain to COM
prehend, and a heart to appreciate. VIII
liam, made in one of natures seveFestI
MS OF economy, has neither the one nor the
other.
1t was relief to a startled and pained
community, to learn that William DenniLD
son had gone to New York. Fears wereI
generally entertained that he had gone to
the devil. We should feel grieyed beyond
measure if William were to miss the CITY
and fetch up with the last above -nention-I
ed. What could we do without our Denni-s
son We put 1t to discriminating public
what? And then how terrible il would
be Tor the devil.--Mdc- a. Cheek Press, (Hdd)

Remarkable Case of Trnnce-A
Lady Rises from her Coffin.

A lady, residing within sixteen miles of
Raleigh, says the Progress, who has been in
delicate health since she lost her husband
in 1858, died last Friday (as was supposedly,
and her friends in the neighborhood pro-
ceeded to take the steps usual on such oc-
casions. The coffin was ordered, the corpse
shrouded and laid out, and all needful prep-
arations consummated for the funeral GER
emonies last Sabbath. Strange as it NAV
appear, it is said that, while the watchers
in an adjoining room were indulging in hi
lalrlty and hot coffee, noise was heard in
the apartment where the remains of the be-
loved departed reposed. .n laIlly
Supposng cat or rat was playing there
in, a gentleman went to stop the revelry.-
On opening the door he was horrifei to
find the lady standing on the hoorthe very
incarnation of perplexity. The brave fell
low hastily retreated. His demonstrations
excited the rest of the party, and the whole
crew, shrieking and trembling, deserted
the house for season. An elderly, negress,
more courageous than the others, went into
the dwelling, ascertained the state OF af- :
fairs, and, with Christian heroisma admin
istered to the necessities of the dead-aliye

who has attended the lady dupihgthe pastp

to the medical profession. It is simply a,
case Of trance or suspended animation. The
only remarkable circumstance, perhaps, is
the duration of the spell, though after her
presumed decease the absence of that per-

Chill Market.

The Ns,oYork Post, in calling attention
to the importan of "Cnill as market y /
points to the fact that of the foreign i'm
port into that country, amounting to many
millions annually, the United States fur q
nishes but 100000 worth of it. The Chill. /
ian trade is mostly in British hands, and
the Post concludes that if our merchants !,
permit it to remain there "they will show
themselves less wise and less enteFprisine .
than they are reputed to be.n Tpere is no
reason, with our ports on, the Pacific side,
why we should not do almostthe whole OF
the carrying trade with Chill; and icertain-o

Grape Hints.

Grapes coming in bearing should not be
permitted to perfect large crops of fruit
while young 1t is excusable to fruit a
bunch or so on young vine, 'just to teot t
the kind" but no more should be permitted
till the vine has age and strength Vigor-
GUS growth, and great productiveness, are
the antipodes Of the vegetable world. En-
courage as much foliage as possible on the
vines, and aim to have as strong shoots at
the base as at the top of the cane this can
be done by pinching ont the points of the
strong shoots after they have made a
growth Of five or six leaves. This will make
the weak ones grow stronger Young vines
grow much faster over twiggy branch,
stuck in for support, than over straight
stick as trellis, and generally do better
every way. Where extra fine lunches of
grapes are desired, pinch back the shoot
bearing it about four or five inches above
the bunch. This should not be done indis-
criminately with all the punches. Too much
pnching and stopping Injuries the produc-
ton of good wood for the next season.
These hints are for amateurs, who have
a few vines on trciliscs for large vineyard
culture, though the same principles hold
good, so far as they go, they will vary in
their application.-GG GGrdae1's MoathIy
