Disenchantment, though salutary, is
not pleasant; and therefore these days
are sad ones. in which the disgnises have
fallen from the faces OF so many political
leaders whom we cherished and honored
in former times. Those who in the days
of 1860 responded to the name of Seward
as they would 20 a w~atchword or a battle
cry can bear witness 20 the shame and
sorrow with which they have seen their
leader go astray. Those who once be
lieved in Andrew johnson as they believe
in Washington and Adams, know how sad
is the awakening from the illusions. And
while in these days we have been proud to
see how nobly many of our statesman have
stood by their duty, occasion has been but
too frequently given for mourning for
those who have gone astrsy.
Amnngth fallen is Montgomery RlaiE
Nj. LincOln's Postmaster General, and
once among the most trusted and most
able of his advisers. His station was not
perhaps as high in the minds of Northern
Unionists as that of Seward or johnson,
but his fall has been deeper. He made a
speech to the Democracy of Reading, Penn.
the other day, and had the honor of being
reported in the New York World. He
shared the stand and the audience with
Hester CIymer, George II. Pendleton,
Richard Vaux, and other Copperheads of
equal malignity. This we should have
thought was degradation enough, but Mr..
Blair managed to come down TO their
level with a facility which evineed great
alacrity in sinking" Imagine a member
of Mr.. Lincoln's War Administration
standing up before a Copperhead audience
and eulogizing Democratic devotion to
the Government" declaring that 'Dem-
oerats poured out freely their blood
and treasure 10 save the Union" while he
denounced Mr.. Lincoln and his Govern
ment for 'treating its opponents harshly
and unjustifably." Imagine him telling
his audience such ~falsehoods as this:
aThe new tangled Constitution the Radi-
Gals were putting Upon the country was a
curious continuance by which Southern
negroes were 10 be ~equalized with the
whites, or that a negro vote in South Caro-
lima would balance q white mans vote in
Pennsylvania"
Imagine him ~eulogizing the loyalty of
Mcclellan amid the cheers of bowling Cop
perheads, while amid equally enthusiastic
yells he announced that every thief in the
United States is a Radical. The specta
Gle is a sad one.

Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens proposes to have
Congress take a recess until Saturday, De-
cember lst7 instead of adjourning. The
advantage of this consists in allowing
Congress to be called together at any time
between this date and that when, in the
judgment of the presiding officers of the
two bodies, Messrs. Colfsx and Foster, the
exigencies of the case shall demand
it. This will leave it in the power of
Congress, should that dangerous and des-
potic man who has been placed by the
terrible accident Of assassination in the
Presidential chair attempt any revOlu-
tiOnary proceeding, 10 reassemble and
thwart him. Adjournment will leave
Andrew johnson untrammelled and I'M
bridled. The present arrangement will
be aconstant check to him, a constant
warning that if he proceeds too far, the
Congress of the United States, which has
already reminded him of his weakness BY
passing bill after bill over his veto, will
meet again, and again circumscribe his
power and rebuke his usurpations. We
heartilyhoPe that some such plan as this
may be adopted. Unless # Is, we should
look for revolution. We should antici- /
pate that the President would, soon after
ihe adjournment call Congress together,
in special session, ~instructing the represen-
tatiyes and senators of the rebelious States |
to appear the rest. Should Congress
bow TO this and receive these representa-
tives, "my policy would triumph, and the
will of the loyal nation, recorded in
the legislative proceedings of the national
Congress, would be set aside by the ipse
Dirt of a despotic Executive. Should
they refuse TO acknowledge or admit the
Southern representatives, President John
son would give them their seats under the
protection of bayonets, or else the Copper
heads and Johnsonites of the Senate and
House would withdraw, and uniting with
the Southern delegates, claim + be the
true Congress and be recognized as such
by the President. Either of these events
would result in revolution; and it is
against such bloody possibilities as these
that MI. Stevens proposes to guard.

A correspondent of the New York Tri-

connected with General Sherman's Jour

One elderly man, with almost crazy
eagerness, sought the Generals hand yes
terday, which, when grasped, he gave a
h~alf-doubting, halfpiercing gaze into the
small, flashing orbs of the hero, when he
exclaimed:
why, this amt the great General
Sherman, is it2 Zoundsl yOu look Just
like one of usi 1 alters thought you was
an old cussi"
The long, lank sides of the General have
not been more immoderately stirred for
many a day, aud he continued &c repeat
the incident during theday with great de-
light.
AT Worcester, a number of lads hung
like squirrels TO the sides and windows Of
the car, joining the call of "Shermanl r.
"Shermanl" The civilian-dressed Gen
eral, rising, pointed the boys to a military
gentleman in the car, dressed in uniform,
whereupon a bright-eyed urchin respond
ed " Can't come that, General. Can't
fool us up here. We take the papers.
We know you'll" and, convulsed with
laughter, the General was eoerced TO the
platform.

General Thayer, the newly elected Sem
stor from Nebraska, is of Massachusetts
origin, but removed to Nebraska at the
time of the Kansas-N ebraska troubles,
where he was conspicuouSAs a Free4State
man. AT the outbreak OF the war he
raised a regiment in Nebraska, and served
with distinction in the West. He was
made a Brigadier General and served with
credit as such at the seige of Yicksburg.
He was subsequently appointed TO the
command of the army of the frontier, and
commanded one wing of the army in the
disastrous Camden expedition, after which
he remained on duty in Arkansas and
was breyetted Major-General. At the
close Of the war he returnA to Nebraska,
and his services seem TO be appreciated by
his State. General Thsyer was a gentle
man Of good address, fair abilities, and
decidedly radical in politics.

Capt. ]. V. Meigs, has invented a now
device for changing the common musket
into a breech loader, which can 10 at
tsched TO the United States arms with
little difficulty. The invention consists
in so constructing the guard that its hori-
sontdl motion opens and closes the breech
vertically, thus obviating levers and pro-
truding parts, or the necessity of chang
ing the position of the hand which grasps
the stock after firing, to extract the she'll
or preparing for reloading; and the OK
tractor has no spring, but elects the shell
by a Positire motion. Captain NJ. is now
engaged in perfeeting and applying his
invention TO a magazine gun, which will
enable the soldier or sportsman to dis
pense with ammunition boxes, and vet
carry so rounds within the breech of his
gun without Increasing its size or weight.
These fifty rounds may be fred without
removing the gun from the shoulder. As
the invention IS practical, simple and can
be attached to ordinary arms at little cost
