Andrew Johnson's Plot--.Our
Danger and Safety.

Andrew Johnson's Plot---ou
Danger and Safety.
In Senator Thayer's speech a
Cincinnati, on Saturday evening
last, were revelations of the con
spiracy Of our accidental President
against the peace and good ordel
Of the Repctlic to which the atten,
ton Of every American citizen
should be callel, and against which
every man who desires the stability
OF our institutions should be on
his guard. Senator Thayer is Just
from Washington, and has had thc
advantage Of close inspection OF
the workings of Mr.. johnson,
scheme; and he declares that the
president Is medltating forcible re.
sistance to the authority of Con
gress, and is organizing his forces
therefor. On just what occasion
he may employ military force is
not yet determined. 1t may be to
prevent the assembling of Congress.
or when assembled, if the House OF
Representatives passes articles OF
impeachment, or it may be for the
purpose Of forcing Southern Sena-
tors and Representatives to seats in
Congress. Gov. Swami, of Mary.
land, declined the Senatorship when
elected, because Lieutenant Govern.
or Cox could not be trusted for
Johnson's purposes. Swami has
organized in Maryland standing
army, Differed mainly by returned
rebels. When the time comes.
which he looks for under some pre-
tences, Johnson will declare Mary
land and the District of Columbia
under martial law, and call upon
Gov. Swami to bring forth his mil.
itia.
The execution ofthis fell purpose
of revolution and anarchy will de-
pend upon the issue of the fall elec |
tions. If these elections culminate
in Republican triumph, Mr. JOIN
son will subsideinto a comparative
ly peaceful condition. But if the |
Democrats should triumph in New |
York and Pennsylvania, and should
make serious inroads upon our ma
jority in Ohio, our mad and reck-
less President would consider the
result demonstration of popular
reaction against Congress and in
favor of his policy, and would bc
encouraged to push his revolution.
ary schemes to the last issue. Our
readers will remember that last year
Mr.. johnson was delouncing Con-
gress rs an unconstitutional body.
and indulging in wild threats that
he would veto their measures as fast
as they sent them in. But the re-
snlt Of the elections changed Mr..
Johnson's tone. He felt the mighty
power of the quiet but omnipotent
)allot, and bowed before it. Let
he coming elections again teach
lin of his weakness, and the peo-
'le's strength. Let every voter re-

HOME AFTER BUSINESS Hours. -
The road along which the man OF
business travels in pursuit of CON-
petence or wealth is not q Macade-
mized one, nor does it ordinarily
lead through pleasant scenes and
by well-springs of delight. On the
contrary, it is a rough and rugged
path, beset with "wait-a-bit" thorns,
and full of pitfalls, which can only
be avoided by the watchful care of
circumspection. After every days
journey over this worse than rough
turnpike road, the wayfarer needs
something more than rest; he re-
qnires a solace, and he deserves it.
He is weary of the dull prose of
life, and athirst for the poetry
Happy is the business man who can
find that solace and that poetry at
home. Warm greetings from low
ing hearts, fond glances from bright
eyes, and welcome shouts from
the many thousand little
arrangements for comfort and EN-.
ioyment that silently tell Of thought
rul and eXpectant love, the gentle
ministrations that discncumber us
into an old and easy seat before we
are aware of it; these and like to-
lens of affection and sympathy
constitute the poetry which recon.
Giles us to the prose of life. Think
Of this, ye wives and daughters
of business mem! Think of the
,oils, the anXieties, the modification
and wear that fathers undergo to
secure for you comfortable homes,
md compensate them for their tri-
lis by making them happy by their
,wn fresides.

Rather Cool.

A Radical paper says that the "Pres-
ident and the Democratic party are the
only obstacles to immediate re-construc-
ton" The impudence of such an as
sertion is manifest. Ever since the day
when the last confederate soldier laid
down his arms, and the last act of arm
ed hostility to the government was
committed, the lately rebellious states
have been striving to regain theirformer
position in the union. They have ac-
cepted the issue of the war as a termin-
alton and virtual humiliation of all
that they sought to gain or establish by
the war. They have chosen men to
represent them in congress. They have
repudiated the debts contracted by them
as confederate states in the prosecution
of rebellion. They have ratified the
abolition of slavery. But when they
are asked to give up honor, in tho adop-
ton of such an unnecessary and harsh
provision as the proposed constitutional
amendment, they respond that they
consider honor us of as much worth as
the union. They are willing to return
on terms which have q shadow of fair
ness or equity, and the President has
thus far been consistent and persistent
in his efforts to aid their endeavors in
that direction. For Journal or party
to contend, in the light of such facts as
are palpaple to every one who can read,
that the fault of their non-return lies at
the door of those states, or at the door
of the President, is height of effronte-
ry rarely reached by any man or set of
men. The delay in reconstruction is to
be laid to the charge of a Radical party,
who see in this course the surest means
of perpetuating themselves in power.
They propose terms which they know
the south can not consistently with hon.
or accept, and then visit upon the south
punishment for non-acceptance. A con-
sistent party, truly.

are made up of thousands of small

bankruptcy to country publishers. In

MORRIssEY AND BUTLER.-John
Morrissey was recently in the city, and
they tell good anecdote of him. In an
interview with the President, Norris
sey said, ''You, no doubt Mr.. President,
have heard that | was a gambler that is
true, l have gambled at cards and made
money by it, but always played fair,
and never cheated, and | have never
even been accused Oft. You also. no
doubt, have heard was connected with
the ring, and was a pugilist. That is
true also, and | always beat my oppo-
nent. Now, this is more than Ben. But
Ter can say. He played and gambled
after his fashion at New Orleans, but he
did nct play fair, but cheated every
body, and no one can say he ever whip
ped an opponent. So l am at least
ahead of him on both points," Pretty
fair that for Morrissey. If occasion pre-
sents, Morrissey will not hesitate to say
the same thing to Butler on the floor
of the House.-IV1ssh. Cor. N. Y. Eren-

How TO DO Up SHIRT BosoMs.-We
have often heard ladies express desire
to know by what process the fine gloss
observable on new linen shirt bosoms.
&C., is produced, and in order to crafty
them we submit the following recipe
for making gum arabic starch: Take
two ounces fine white gum arabic pow
der; put it into a pitcher, and pour on it
a pint or more of boiling water-accord-
ing to the strength you desire--and
then having covered it, let it set all
night; in the morning pour carefully
from the dregs into clean bottle, cork
it, and keep it for use. A table spoon
full Of the gum water stirred into a pint
of starch made in the usual manner,
will give to either white or printed
lawns look of newness when nothing
else can restore them after washing.
Much diluted it is also good for thin
muslin and bobinet.- Raleigh Standard

We're before to see our error, and hum
bier than we were before to own it.
But so it is; and Goldsmith observes
that Frederick the Great did himself
more honor by his letter to his Senate
stating that he had just lost battle by
his own fault, than all the victories won:
Perhaps our greater perfection here is
not to escape the imperfections, but to
acknowledge and lament.--Jay.

RECEIPT FOR CURING MEAT.-To one
gallon of water, take one and a half
pounds of salt, half a pound of sugar,
half an ounce of saltpetre, half an ounce
of potash. In this ratio the pickle to be
increased to any quantity desired. Let
these be boiled together until all the
dirt from the sugar rises to the top and
is skinned off. Then throw it into the
tub to cool, and when cold pour It over
the beef or pork, to remain the usual
time, say four or five weeks. The meat
must be we'll covered with pickle, and
should not be put down for at least two
days after killing, during which time it
must be.sprinkled with powdered salt
petre, which removes all the surface
blood, &C., leaving the meat fresh and
clean. Some omit boiling the pickle,
and find it to answer very well, though
the operation ofboiling purities the pick
lie by throwing off the dirt always to be
found in salt and sugar. Ifthis receipt
is properly tried, It will never be ADAM
doned. There is none that surpasses it

The Washington Chronicle is alto
gether dissatisfied with the decision Of
the Supreme Court against the consti-
nationality of military trials of civil
cases, and thinks it must "shock the
sensibilities and provoke the severe re-
Duke OF loyal men everywhere" also,
that it twill doubtless receive the seri-
Gus attention of Congress at an early
day. Col Forney should ask Mr.. Ste
vens to introduce joint resolution dis
pensing with the Supreme Court al
together. Nothing is easier, and then
there will be no more trouble from this
obstinate old Constitution, which is all
ways getting in the way Of s'progress.'
