WHAT Do THEY Do WITH THEM Pit is
curious thing in politics to notice the 'little
pickings'' which fall to the share of the
holders of seats in all representative bodies.
1t matters not what party is in the ascendant,
the result is the same. 1t matters not whether
it be national senate or city council, the
same general peculiarities are visible. In
view of the following report of expenditures
for 1866, found in Doc. 30, U. S. s., the ques-
ton is pertinent, 'Do Senators intend to spend
their after lives in retail storesH Without
comment, we give portion of the list of per-
quisites:-

near the ship Of state was to drifting into the
maelstrom, and we not aware of the danger
Suppose the resolution had been defeated.
Then would we have had another cruel war;
The "buzzard would have been gorged with
spoils." A new rebellion would have been
inaugurated, and we tremble to think of the
result. We would have had to fight with
chairs and tables and pomade pots. Our fur
niture would be turned against us. Truly,
every house would be divided. We would
have had a daily skirmish with disloyal
sofa, and a nightly battle with a rebellious
bed, and our lives would have been burden.
Yet sleeping in innocence, we passed within
sight of Scylla and within stones throw of
Charybdis, and dreamed not of our danger.
UNGRATEFUI AND UNKIND.-The lash of the
Herald is laid over the shoulders of the un-
happy President, and to-day well-written
article, reaching the acme of the sarcastic, is
given by Bennett, in which he reiterates his
demands for Mr.. Johnson to resign. II he
accedes, James Gordon says that he will rank
with Curtius, Virginius, and Regulus. But
let him speak for himself
retrieve his character ana save his name in Tia he
history of the remarkable events of this period,
but that may give him O present victory over
his opponents. This is his resignation and re-
tirement from office. 1t may seem siy-absurd
even-to counsel him to such step but it is
more likely to seem so to the small reasoners
! of party cliques than TO those whose thoughts
! take wider range. If Mr. Johnson will rise
| above the political accidents and excitemeuJs
| that now follow their daily round in his life, he
has the mind to understand that this act
would be a pit ce OF deep political
! sagacity and mauly dignity as far
as it touched his own personality, and a
piece OF civic herosm as 1t might affect the
| position of the Southern States. Suppose even
| that he became a sacrtce-what then? Can he
| hope to do anything nobler in office, though he
| remained a century, than he would In going
out with the fame of another Curtius closing
| up with his person the gulf that endangered
| the State? Who cannot see that the stern
| father Virgnius, though he lost some years of
| delight in what he loved, saved his daughter
| forever in the fame OF great act done In the
| cause of virtue? And did not Regulus, thinking
| more OF his country than OF his own ease or
| pleasure. and counselling against the course
| that would have set him free, provide Infinitely
better for his own honor than he would nave
| done by needing the small advice of friends
| who could not see beyond the morrow"

question at issue concerns not only

make no distinction of race. We have
therefore applauded the election made by

THE FREEDMgN-The disposition of
the freedmen to emigrate to the Gulf
States is very marked. The papers in
the Southern States speak of it and
record movements of emigrants some on
a large scale. A meeting has been called
at Selma, Alabama, to devise means for
supplying the vacuum in the labor mar
ket thus created Texas has the pref
erence of the freedmen over the other
States, and this fact recalls the argu-
ment Of Robert J. Walker, when the an
nexaton of Texas was the national
question, that that territory would be
the gateway through which the negroes
Of the South would ultimately pass
into Mexico and Central America, where
the climate is exactly suited to them and
they will encounter no preiudices Of
race.

GenoraI Grant and his Opinions.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Evening Voice, communicates
the following interesting account Of the
"phvsiQueo Of the General, and his sup
posed views upon current questions,
with the rumors Of what the testimony
of Sheridan, Thomas and Others may be-
before the special investigating COM
mittce upon the outrages against Union
men in the South
An observer in the gallery Of the
House for several days past could not
avoid seeing quiet looking, compactly
built gentleman, seated in a careless at
titude in one of the outer and vacant
seats on the Republican side and gen.
erallv engaged in conversation with sew
eral members gathered about his chair.
From the fact that he generally wore
semi.military cloak, his luStleSS yet at
tputiyc attitude and the notice he at
traCted, il could be seen that he was not
a member. 4 close scrutiny would re-
veal a face well known to the country
and dear TO every patriOt-that of Gen.
/ U. S. Grant. To day he might be seen
in the Ladies Gallery Of the Senate a
Quiet but very attentive listener to the
tariff debate going on there.
It is quite noticeable and attracts at
tentiOn-the close and constant interest
/ displayed of late by the General to the
proceedings in Congress. Certainly the
/ education thus attained is one eminently
/ desirable for man in his position, and
/ the associations he there forms are
/ much better for his political health as
/ well as prospects, if he has any, than
those with which he has been connected
! at the other end of the avenue.
From the galleries, Grant does not
impress one as being of higher grade
than the "bold butcher boy" or fireman
tvpe of character. OF course he is not
! of that type in manners or acts |
simply mean in physique and general
makeup. When, however, you get
nearer him, the impression Of power
grows distinctly upon you, Quiet, per-
sistent power is the sum-total of his
points. Take his head, for instance. AT
front glance the forehead is rather
meagre, but moderately broad and
high vet it is not mean, low or paltry
1t is not at all of the smooth, undevel-
oped type, like the Burnside face pre-
sents, nor is it the fiery, impulsive, en-.
ergetic, tomahawk sort of frontal OF
forehead which Sherman's presents
Grants is a good, STRENGTHENING, quiet
forehead. But it is when you get side
aance at the General that you get more
Idea of his intellect. The head and face
as seen from a position when you gel
the artistic three, quarters view, is seer
to be long and compact, especially from
the ears forward.
Indeed, there is a remarkable depth
and breadth in the head before the ears
while the breadth behind shows wher'
the motive power comes from. Th'
chief characteristic of Grants face i'
its uuietness combined with intensity
The close trimmed, brown beard sprink
led with gray shows the powerful unde
jaw to good advantage, while the uppe
part of the face is 10 keeping. | hav'

A RAILROAD TO CONNECT PORTLAND
WITH VERMONT AND THE WBsT.-St.
Johnsbury stands upon the Passumpsic
railroad, Il miles north of Wells river,
and Just that distance further from Port
land by an existing or possible railroad
route thither. Dalton lies east from st.
Johnsbury and about midway between
the Passumpsic and Grand Trunk rail-
roads. The face of the country between
st. Johnsbury and Dalton is hilly and
rough, which renders the location of a
railroad both CircuitOus and expensive,
as it would be necessary to cross the
streams instead of following the valleys.
Persons acquainted with that part of
New Hampshire are of the opinion that
the two places could not be connected
with less than forty miles Of railroad.
Dalton Is situated southwest of Cor
ham, N. H.. and twenty-five miles dist
ant therefrom.
Now if we add the q miles which st.
Johnsbury lies distant north of Wells
river, to the 40 miles between st. Johns
bury and Dalton, which makes 81 miles,
and deduct it from that portion of the
Boston, Concord and Montreal railroad
now operated toward Portland, we shall
find ourselves at point between Weir's
and Lake village, three miles from the
latter place.
This point is 16 miles west of Alton
bay and Is miles from Sanbornton on
the Boston, Concord and Montreal rail-
road, (which place may hereafter be re-
ferred toy, and should stand equi-distant
with Dalton from Portland, Gall other
considerations being equaD, to bring
the st. Johnsbury and Dalton route into
competition with the Portland and
Rochester road.
