Now AND THEN.--If one year ago, anybody
had told Andrew johnson, who was then sojourn-
ing in Washington, that in twelve months he
would be President of the United States, at issue
with the loyal millions of the country, and in
conflict with two-thrds of both Houses of Con-
gress, because these millions and their represen-
tatives would not agree with him to admit into
the national councils the authors and agents of
the rebellion, his answer would have been an in
dignant, if not an insulting denial ; and we can
imagine how he would have turned to such a
prophet and pointed to the following words, spo-
ken on April Sd, 1865, only the day before:
II am in favor of leniency, but in my opinion
evil-doers should be punished. Treason is the
highest crime known in the catalogue of crimes,
and for him that is guilty of it--for him that is
willing to lift his impious hand against the au-
thority of the nation-I would say that death is
too easy a punishment. My notion is that treason
must be made odious, and traitors must be punish
ed and impoverished, their social power broken,
and they made to feel the penalty of their crime.
Hence, say this: The halter to intelligent, intlu-
entail traitors.

g- The editor Of the Jc,.r,.Sj

- The editor Of the Jo1rti0' d;sc,aims any
wish to pick quarrel !. with us as that is
n0' n's sooau an Strange then, that hardly
~ '''ue y uis paper has appeared for the last
IVY .nonths but that the Unioa has been called
/, upon to do something or to publish some speech,
or an indication that We should support some
particular measure Tho editor admits, however,
time to find out whether we -" sustained, sOitloatt
TessrUe the true aud great policy of President
Johnson We confess that we do not know to
what he alludes in that sentence. When Presi-
dent johnson enunciates any " true and great
policy" we will support it " 'cithom reserve, /"
but when that policy is the elevation Of
traitors to be our rulers, we respectfully ask to
be excused. We support President Johnson in
his Union professions and practice we endorse
his hanging Of the assassinators of President
Lincoln, aud the Andersonvlle murderer we
endorse his utterances that treason should be
made odious, that leading traitors should be
punished, and that loyal men should rule we
endorse his veto OF the Freedmens Bureau Bill ;
but when President Johnson forgets, seemingly,
all this, and denounces the Congress of the Union
as traitors, merely because they differ from him on
the question of the admission of the lately rebel
lious States, we cannot support him we see
nothing to admire, nothing worthy of commen-
dation in such utterances.
| But the journal man has made discovery -
He finds that no one " either intimately or re-
| @fo Inso oAro c;Ouad
the call for that {" mass meeting I" held in the
Court House on the 9th of March. You're right,
| Mr.. Editor; the editors of the Union did not
sign that call their names are not to be found
among the 1.-TWO thousand" and what is more,
they do not expect to ever be found supporting
nent in getting up that meeting. We attended
that meeting, however, and " took a note of
those present We have nothing to say of their
intelligence or responsibility, but the editor of
the Journal knows as well as we do that nine
out of every ten who listened to the patriotic
and conservative speech of Mr.. Harris, were in
sympathy with the rebellion from its inception to
the close were bitterly hostile to .the Govern
ment and its cause and, during the active opera
tons of The rebellion and until Mr.. Lincoln's
death, the severest denouncers of Mr.. Johnson.
The editor of the Journal also takes us to task
for not publishing the remarks Of the Hon. John
NJ Frazier, at the meeting held in the Court
House on the evening of the 9Th of March. If he
will refer to our paper of the 10th Of March, the
next issue after the meeting, he will find Mr..
Frazier's address published in full, word for
word as published in the Journal. We hope
that that echo " may stick little more closely
to the truth hereafter.

INDICTED Fifteen of the Judges Of election in
Somerset county, Md, have been indicted for
violation of the registry law. 1t will be remem-
bered that at the last election, the list of voters
returned by the Registers of that county was en-
irely disregarded and all the Rebels in the coun-
ty allowed to vote. BY this means Mr. Frank
lin had the largest number of votes for Circuit
Judge, but the Legislature settled that matter
right by ousting Mr.. Franklin and securing the
position to Mr.. Spence, the choice OF the loyal
people Of the District

TIE DEMocRATio 'FNaER John Van Bu-
rem, in his late Albany speech, said
SIT is remarkable that all the Federalists who
have been elected have died in Office, and the
Vice Presidents who have succeeded them have
been good Democrats. Harrison, Taylor and
Lincoln died, and good Democrats succeeded
them. Do you not see the finger Of ProvidenceT'
We see the finger very clearly-iti is the right
forefnger, resting on a trigger, Immediately be-
hind Mr. Lncolns head. We see the pistol fred
willie a young Democrat so called, leaps
down upon the stage, shouts sic semper tyran-

like dog. Whatever worship Mr.. Van Buren,
thinks due to the finger" in question, he is at
liberty TO say. Was it this which called forth
from The leading copperhead organ the eulogi-
um Mr.. Van Buren, refinement and instinct
of gentlemanlike propriety are hereditary"

The State Prisoners at the Tortugas

DR.. Mudd, since his attempt to escape by con-
cealing himself in the coal bunker Of a steamer,
has not been able to revive the confidence reposed
in him previous to that time. He is still kept
under close guard, and compelled to clean out
the bastions in the classmates Of the fort and do
some of the most mental and degrading work to
be done. Instead Of becoming reconciled 10 bis
lot he grows more disconnected and queru-
lous. He is now but little more than "a skeleton,
and his growing emaciation shows how bitterly
his shirt chafes under his Imprisonment and
how deeply the iron pierceS his soul. His con-
slant prayer is for DEATH which alone can set him
free. 1t is natural he should suffer more than
his colleagues in crime.
Arnold is employed as clerk Of Capt. Van
Reade, post adjutant. An uncommonly fine PEN
man and accurate accountant-his profession will
be remembered rs that of book-keeper-and
well behaved and modest and yielding in his de-
meanor, he grows in usefulness and popularity
each day. A guard attends him to his meals,
which are the same as the other prisoners, aud
at night he is kept in close custody. His beha-
vior shows that he appreciates his position and
that be does not like Dr. Mudd, intend to abuse
the confidence reposed in him and lose it. His
health is good.
Spangler is at work in the quarter-maSter's car
penter shop. Already he begins to count the
years months and days remaining TO complete
his term of Imprisonment He is robust and jol-
ly-a physical condition he attributes, however,
solely to his being innocent of any participancy
in the dreadful crime charged against him.
In striking contrast to the persons referred TO
is Colonel Marinaduke,. found guilty of the noted
conspiracy to free the prisoners at Camp Doug
las and burn Chicago. He has charge OF the
post garden. In respect to manual labor, no
ROYAL gardener has an easier time. Like the ILL
lies of the fields, he toilsnot. His only business
is 10 see that those under him work. He has
the privilege of going outside of the fort at any
time between revelie and sunset. He does not
evidently allow his prison life to interfere seri-
ously with his health or spirits, for both are ex-
celent. In the extent of freedom allowed him,
he is very much given to putting on the airs of
fine gentleman, and walks and struts about like
one on the very hest terms with himself and the
world -.--,

GoLD ON THE PoToMAc.-Gold and silver, and
all the more valuable metals, Seem to exist in
great profuson in almost every county in Virgin
ia, and in many counties Of Maryland. We
have several times alluded to the discovery OF
gold on the Potomac, few miles above George
town, on the Maryland side. We now learn
that sufficient indications of collaborating quartz
have been discovered on the Virginia side of the
Potomac, opposite those on the Maryland shore,
which arc about one mile and half below the
Great Falls, TO induce the opening Of two mines.
