Something of a Runaway.

A not very disastrous runaway took place
yesterday forenoon on High street, near our
Office. A gentleman was driving horse
and buggy up the street, with boy on the
seat by his side. To the boy he had given
the lead of horse he had just purchased.
The new horse, with a sort of mulish stub
bornness, declined to follow in the rear Of
the buggy, probably preferring situation
in front as the post of honor. Be this as it
may, the boy held on to the animal with an
obstinacy quite equal to his. The conse-
quence was, that he was pulled and whirl-
cd about in his seat and finally, the gentle
man who was. driving, was pushed or.
jumped out of the buggy. The horse in the
harness, finding the reins loose and himself
without governor, took it into his head
to do what, it is said, he had often done be-
fore, namely, to run away. The boy, still
holding fast to the horse in the rear, was at
length drawn into the hinder part of the
buggy, and finally out of it into the mud,
somewhat bruised, but not seriously iDjur-
ed. The runaway horse continued bis wild
career toward the river, but at last brought
up against yard fence, where he came to
a full stop. The buggy was slightly dam
aged. The runaway horse was not injured.
Rather better luck than he deserved,

OF from the National Union, Republican, Or
Amendment 10 the COnStiIutlOm.

We are not fthose who believe that the
Constitution is suck weak instrument that
it requires semi to be propped
up with amendments which it is here late
ly so fashionable for members of Congress
to propose. IL was framed with most jeal-
Gus care by men as general thing far
wiser than any who have come after them.
They were master workmen, and their work
does not need the numerous repairs propos-
ed. A great number of our present Con-
gressmen imagine they are thinkers, and are
anxious to try their hands at tinkering up
the Constitution that so well suited our
fathers. They are tinkers and nothing else,
and therefore should not be permitted to
ply their vocation upon so sacred piece of
work as that handed down to us by its great
original trainers, and pronounced by the
wisest of men as near perfect as it was pos
sible to create. If the Constitution is to be
amended, let the entire nation have hand in
it, as the entire nation will be effected, by
taking therefrom or adding thereto.
Let members of Congress turn their at
tention to something else than amendments
to the Constitution. They can find plenty
to do that will be of far more benefit to the
countTy-while their propositions only tend
to distract and keep alive the i'll feeling be-
tween different sections that now prevails so
extensively.
The Dayton Journal tells us "that there
is no practical significance in the presenta-
tion of so many amendments. There never
was legislative body in this country, State
or National, that was not afflicted by scores
of bills and resolutions which never amount
ed to anything more than the qualification
their authors had in presenting them"
If ehio 10 uiIo case would IL not be botter
to attach some Odium to proposition to |
amend the Constitution? This might cor
rect the evil and render it but a poor gratif
cation to the proposer of an amendment. If
our Legislators have nothing better to do
than to present amendments, for the pur-
pose of self-gratiticatiOn, they had better
resign, and we will endeavOr to send men
to Congress who have the true interests of
the Nation at heart, paramount to every
thing alsa -,I.,H .N -. ..r.. ..

The Oneninr Concert.

The first of the two concerts to be given
at the Opera House by the great pianist,
James M. Wehli and his troupe, takes place
thisevening. OF the merits of Mr.. Wehli's
performances our musical friends are well
advised, both from enjoying them on
former occasions, and from the reputation
he has gained as an artist, Our exchanges
award also high praise to Mile Gebele and
Mr.. Campbell, members of the troupe,
Mr.. c. will be recollected as the magnifl-
cent baritone of the Castle-C Campbell Eng
llsh Opera Troupe. His voice is consider
ed the finest American voice of the kind.
1t is, remarks a critic, trifie too heavy for
a baritone and scarcely heavy enough for a
basso. Hence, some of the musical con-
noiseurs style tia baritone bGsso. -6

An AnsauIt.

Last evening between nine and ten
o'clock, as Mr.. T. Lough was passing:down
the north side of West Gay street toward
his residence, man came out of the alley
east of the Crisis office, with cane or club
in his hand, with which he struck the pave
ment several times, making quite a loud
noise. Mr.. Lough suspecting something
wrong, was on his guard, and spoke to the
man as he passed him, remarking that it
was rainy evening, to which the other re-
piled, "Yes," and Immediately struck Mr..
Lough severe blow with his stick.
Mr.. Lough, upon being struck, ran few
PAGES ahead, calling loudly for help. Sew
eral gentlemen ran out OF the Crisis office,
and took charge Of Mr.. Lough's assailant.
He was handed over to police officer and
placed in safe quarters. Mr.. Lough, we
learn, was not seriously hurt.

PoIice C,ourt.

There was but one individual before the
Mayor yesterday morning for a criminal
offense, and that one is anon-resident of the
city, who, for drunkenness and rowdyism
on the streets, was fined S. and costs and
committed.
We congratulate our citizens upon the
remarkable diminution of business in our
Police Court. IItaugurs well for the NOR
ais of our city. 1t is owing, evidently, in
a great measure, to the return of peace, the
disbandment Of the military organizations
in our immediate neighborhood, and the
substitution Of civil rule aud order for mil
itary despotIsm and consequent disorder
Most of the offenders that have, for long
time past been called before our Police
Court have been strangers or temporary
sojourners in or about the city. With the
vigorous administration of municipal jus
tice by Mayor Bun, we anticipate that our
gOodly city viii soon become more orderly
and law-abidiug than even in the "piping
time of peace" before the war. osa sast

The CabinetaUnIt.

The Washington special Of the New York
Times says there is not a word of truth in
the report, that there is between Secretary
Sf4SroN and the President any disagree
ment; but that there is the highest author
ity for stating that Mr. STANTON fully APP
proves the Presidents action, and that it is
also true that the entire Cabinet are a unit
on the same question, and the President is
fully sustained by his Cabinet. '.'.
We have been assured within the last
twenty-four hours, by gentleman who
professed to speak understandingly, that
the only point wherein Mr.. STANTON here
tofore disagreed with the President, was
that the President did not present the issue
so ruggedly as to compel the Radicals to
break with him before now. If our in
formant IS not in error, Mr.. STANTON will
regard tas happy event when the Radi-
Gals shall cut loose from the President. 9a

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.
Another week of the session begins, but
with as. little prospect of the dispatch OF
business as heretofore. Were this the short
session it would be within week of its
termination, and, as yet, the wheels of leg
IslatiOn are clogged by the efforts of Con-
gress to defeat the Presidents plan of re-
construction. The war between the Presi-
dent and Congress has begun In earnest,
but the Republican majority could not, at
the caucus of Friday night, agree upon any
plan of hostilities. They took measures,
however, to save their elections.
Some members now say that it Is useless
to pass bills for the President to veto, and
that, as their own measures cannot be en-
acted, they care for no other. Others pro-
pose a continuous session till the expiration
of the 39th Congress, to prevent the Presi-
dent from appointing his friends to office
during the recess of the Sc rate.
To withhold the appropriation bills is an
other mode of annoying the Executive. but
the substantial interests of the country
would revolt at that, and few members who
resorted to itcould beelected. There remains
one mode, and only one-whereby, If the
Republican majority can recover and keep
the two-thirds power OF the Senate, the
President can be put down-to-wit: i'm
peachment. The first thing to be done to-
ward this Is to obtain two-thirds majority
of the Senate. several modes have been
suggested-one is to create new States in
sufficient number for the purpose.
1t was reasserted to-day in the Senate
that the Cabinet of President johnson is a
unit upon all the measures of the Presi-
dent since his accession. This includes the
veto. Mr.. Seward indorses every word of
the Presidents late speech, and we have
heard, as yet, no remonstrance against it
from others of the Cabinet. 1t is believed
that the Cabinet will adhere to Mr.. john
son, though Mr.. johnson may not adhere to
them. ~ b5l' H'i ii9
Mr.. Sherman has made strong speech
in the Senate to-day against the scheme
shutting out Southern Representatives.

The Radical Demonstration I'm
Chicago.

The Radical demonstration in this city,
last night, against the President, was sim
gular in character, and scarcely respectable
in numbers. One-half of the audience were
Democrats, drawn out by curiosity, and
the greater part of the other half-white,
black and gray-were drawn out by curiosi-
ty also. 1t was such crowd as will as
semble at any time in Chicago when the
prospective entertainment promises to be
either funny or exciting.
The speeches were tame, fiat and unprof-
table. If the reader wants proof in this
respect, let him read the very accurate re-
port of them in another part Of this paper;
or If he wishes to induce somnolence, let
him read this report. They were trashy in
the extreme. We have never inflicted
worse rubbish upon our readers, unless,
perchance, some of these same gentlemen
have before GRATED through our columns. d,

The Rebels and " "COpPerheads''
-f39t ,4f Rejoice.

--Oneo Of the principal objections urged by
the Radicals to the. Presidents veto and
speech, are that they make the Rebels and
Copperheads rejoice; and because they do
this they regard it as eminently proper that
"the loyalr people should condemn them.
That is as much as to say: If President
JoHNsoN's policy shall make the Rebels and
Copperheads sincerely devoted to the Un-
ion, that will furnish cause for ''the loyal"
people to withdraw from the Union. That
is the logical conclusion to such stupid talk.
