The probability of an appeal to arms being made by
President Johnson in BIZ, couaic. with Congress, is
being seriously discussed il the English press. By
those. however, who arc acquainted with the charac
ter Of the American people it is conterded that there
is no danger to be apprehended this score. Thus
Mr. Goodwin Smith writing to The Manchester EIam-
liner and Times argues that there is no fear OF a sue
cessful resort to arms by the President, nasnuch
in this country every soldier, with few exceptions
is a citizen and as a consequence, directly interested
in the maintenance Of popular rights and popular SOW
ereignty Every soldier" he says understands
the distinction between bis military and his civil duty
and knows the bounds which are set to his military
duty by the Constitution. When for single mo-
ment, General Sherman forgot the limits Of his
mission, and proceeded-not in intention, perhaps
but in fact-to encr0ach upon the functions of the
civil government by negotiating political settlement
with the Southern commanders his soldiers, ardently
az they admired their victorious chief at once though
without any breach Of military discipline showed
their disapprobation Of his conduct and made it mani
fest that he could not reckon upon their bayOnets for
any support but that which sanctioned by the
law If the President Of the American Republic were,
for unconstitutional purposes TO order the soldiers TO
fire on the people they would first refer him to the
proper article of the Constitution, and then fire on
him." Tuthiully and forcbly put, this but let the
people bear in mind that the sures Of prevent
ing aay such attempt as that which some apprehend
is to speak at the polls in so unmistakabe manner
as to convince President johnson that to oppose the
popular will would be about as vain as TO endeavor
TO roll back the swelling pillows Of the ocean

A Racy DescriDtlon.

From treatise on races by Girls
void, (the Fat Contributor,) we quote
a paragraph or two: aa
g | hatter myself that I know some
thing about the horse race. | had a
passion for horse racing when lad,
and used to run horses with a neigh
boris boy in Tompkins' lane. How
wildly do [ recall my last race. I
rode the Governors CRASHED mare, a
sorrel roam, if | remember correctly,
with two white feet in the forehead.
She was little found red In one eye,
but, with the exception of something
like a watermelon on each knee, her
intellect was unimpaired She was
sired by Canal Horse, and id by
every one who rode her. Neighbor's
boy rode . a creamucolored chestnut,
with spring halt to harness. On the
home stretch | was neck and half a
shoulder blade behind, gently en-
couraging the old mare to do her level
best by the application of corn cut
ter to aged ribs. The limp which she
had in her eye prevented her taking a
clear view of a heap of cobble stones
in the lane, and when she struck them
there was a stumble, a clatter of
stones, horse shoe and old bones, and
the old mare was wrecked and no in
insurance
Z" was picked up bleeding and in.
sensible, and / made the remainder of
the home-stretch on a stretcher, COM
ing in under one blanket. The race
was decided in my favor The judges
allowed, although | was a neck be-
hind, when the old mare stumbled,
yet, as / escaped without my neck
