Its Dignity.

Mr. Stanberry has rather an exalted
view of the dignity of the Presidential
Office and the privileges attaching to it
he says:
If the President should 90 far forget
himself in q moment of passion, as to
commit, if you please, the high crime Of
murder, he could not be tried for il while
he was President, because, 6rst of all, be

the nation must deal with him before they

right dealing is-no longer necessary to
insure success in business and respect in
private life. 1t is not only that banks
have failed, that joint stock concerns
have collapsed, and great discount houses
have gone by the board that railway
directors have juggled with contractors,
and contractors with the public; that
three- year old has rpn the whole year at
two year.old nominations, and false
weights have become the rule rather than
the exception. These Athings are bad
enough in themselves, and worse on ac-
count of the widespread misery and
universal distrust which they occasion.
But still more serious symptom re-
mains This is, that gentlemen of high
position and unquestioned integrity Ito

perhaps, scarcely expresses what has

Political Pilgrims to the South.

We clip the following from the New
York Herald ,-.,..
Senator Wilson is the first to set forth,
with wallet and staff, on a pilgrimage to
the South. This is we'll; but he ought
not to 60 alone. Senator Sumner might
safely accompany his colleague from
Masssc chusetts; the Brooksss are all dead.
Old Thsd Stevens, before he dies, should
see the lands which he wants to confs-
cate. Ben loan and Mr.. Ashley might
travel down South together to advantage
the latter might chance to pick up
somewhere that missing and longed-
for letter of Andy johnson to Jefferson
Davis. General Butler and General
Banks might revisit New Orleans
the former could find whether he
left anything behind him when he packed
up and came away. Horace Greeley
might learn something by conversing
about free trade with some of his old
adverssries. William Lloyd Garrison
could see with his own eyes, and at home,
the Southern negro, whom he has talked
and written so much about, a man and
a brother or brother. Wendell Phil
lips should study the march of Sherman
from Tennessee to the Atlantic, and the
march of Grant from the Wilderness to
the Appomattox, in order to learn
why the names of those great generals
are dear to the American people and
he might learn much more than he
actually knows of the relations of the
freedmen to their former masters. Mrs.
Harriet Beechsr Stowe has already gone
far South to see whether her description |
Of Uncle Toms Cabin" and life |
Among the Lowly" we're exaggerated or |
not. Her brother, Henry Ward Bsecher,
had better join her instead of going to

States. If they taught their hearers

Iomething themselves, By all means let

Howrwo Young Ladies Became Drualard.

Some new and splendid dwellings are
being built on the proposed Boulevard
drive, above Central Park. Mr.. Gov
entry Waddell is building suburban
palace in that locality, not far from the
Hudson, about One Hundred and Forty.
Third street. rs was the owner of the
Gothic villa, Murray Hill" covering a
block on the corner Of Fifth avenue and
Thirty Seventh street, where Mrs. Wad-
delPs festivals and balls were the delight
of the fashionable world. The property
was cut up and sold, and palatial brown
stone mansions have arisen on the site
of its garden and pleasure ground. In
one of the houses lives wealthy, but
coarse-minded lady, whose husband has
worldwide notoriety, and whose pro-
fuse dinners and convivial suppers are
attended by foreign gentlemen not abb
stemious in their habits. She en-
tertains few ladies; but a few
years since she took fancy to tive young
orphans, sisters, beautiful, modest and
inexperienced, whose presence, she
thought, would adorn her gay reunions.
She pursued them with attentions, send
ing her carriage for them every day,
keeping them as her guests for weeks at
her town and country houses, sending
them wine and compelling them to drink
excessively at her table, where the re-
Yelling often exceeded the bounds of de-
corum. The consequence was that both
the young girls became slaves to the |
fatal habit of drinking. The lady to
whom they owe their ruin now denounces
them as drunkards, and Unworthy of her |
society," Not one effort has she made to |
rescue her victims from the snare she set
Tor them. Strange as it may seem, this
ady has admission into fashionable cir
,les, though stories like that of her lean
ng out of her front chamber windows to
wear round oaths at her eoachman, H.
ustrate her reputed character.
