SENSATIONAL ITEMS.

The telegraph now Informs us that
there is no truth in the report that there
has been a rupture between the Pres
ident and General Grant. The story
now denied, by authority, did not lind
a very extensive credence among u
people, nor, We judge, could it have
been readily believed by any sensible
person. Some newspaper men who are
distinguished for their radical lack Of
common sense, INDUCED in a column
editorial or so, rejoicing over the n
nouuced disagreement, and they will
doubtless be sadly disappointed to learn
of the repeated statement made by the
President that the Reconstruction Acts
are to be carried out in good faith. 1t
must be evident to every rejecting and
candid mind that President Johnson has
nothing to gain-no sinister motive to
urge him to such a line Of conduct-by
setting himself up at this juncture as q
" great obstructionist." If the Military
Bills are of the character he has Veto
ingly denominated them, if they are
likely, in his opinion las he asserts, to
rebound to the injury Of the country,
the very argument attributed to his plans
by his most violent ~denouncers comes
in evidence of his sincerity in making
the declaration of resolve to faithfully
and fully execute the Congressional
| Policy Statutes" Nomatter what's the
individual opinion as to the wrong or
right of Andy Johnsou's last v~etoes,
there are very few citizens of intelli-
geuee who do not agree that it would
be supreme folly for him, in view OF
impeachment prospects, regarding him
alone in his selfish interests, &c seek to
uullify the laws as they stand. This
last sensational item is Of a sample with
the story that the President propounded
a long list of interrogatories to Attorney
General Stsnberry, once upon Il time,
querying the constitutional existence OF
a Congress that was about to convene.
This rupture-report has served to de-
velop a desire on the part Of the ex-
treme Radicals for such a break-the
wish father to the lying telegram. How
they would rejoice in such u grand and
Nationally calamitous disagreement as
they have enjoyed in imagination for a
day. 1t seems to us that every good
citizen must at once apprehend the fear
full consequences that would grow out
Of an express and manifest determine
ton on the part of the President to
yacate the Reconstruction Acts of Con-
gress. Even to the most intense hater
of Johnson, if his hatred be united with
q clear understanding Of the certain
incidental results Of Il conflict direc,
between Congress per General Gran,
aud the President, must deprecate with
all the sincerity OF his nature the hap.
pening of the falsely reported event al
the Federal Capital.
We have not merely ar explicit official
denial of the reported conflict between
the President and General Grant, but a
series of orders is telegrsphed which
correspond only with the denial, and
would be inexplicable without it. Those
who have editorialized and ~speechi6ed on
the basis ofthe dispatches printed yester-
day, TO the glory of any assumed cause
involved, may feel slightly mortified for
their.,hasty hurrah, or they may neither
appreciate their folly on this occasion
nor realize in any degree what is the
indubitable fact: that the people desire
henceforth the peaceful progress Of the
work of reconstruction, and do not wish
to witness any such Cabinet emente ::a'
has been proclaimed,-a disaster which
only the worst and most INSCRIPTIONS
class Of politicians desire.
