johnson has lost through weakness and
fear. We despise Sheridan, yet he is more
of man than Andrew johnson, for he is
bold-he is a man and not mass of Jelly,
even if he is drunken despot. johnson
will stand kicking. lie has been cufFed and
kicked by cowards-he has been cowed by
thieves has been driven by few bold Con.
gressmen-he has been wheedled by flattery
put off by promises-haS run from the
spoon-thieves and cotton>stealers of Liucoln's
administration, and as Il President of forty
million people for his lack of boldness, de-
serves to be kicked and insulted by Butler,
Banks, Sheridan, and all other thieves, sots,
aad robbers, who may come along.
Oh for n MAN in the place OF johnson n
MAN who woud defend liberty, arrest vii
lans, preserve his dignity, and not stand like
n dead post about which every thief can whip

A Few Moments Conversation with
Secretary Seward on board of Hud-
son River Steamer.

Secretary Seward passed through the city
this evening on his way to Auburn. He
looked tagged out. A number of friends
went down TO the Auburn steamer to see him
of. One of them said:
well, Mr.. Secretary, how do things look
in Washipgtonl"
Seward.-"Well, my friend, when 1 left
there last night the sky looked calm and
beautiful, the birds were singing in the trees
at Bladensburg, and the waters of the Poto-
mac ran along as smoothly as they do here in
your own lovely Hudson"
Friend.-"Ah, yes, but the political situ>
alton 7"
Seward-"POlitics, sir, have not troubled
me much of late. am either getting tired
of them or they are growing weary of me-
l am not half as well posted ds to what you
call the situation as your New York editors.
Read the World, the Times, the Tribune,
aud the Express, and you will know all about
it."
Another Friend.--"How is President
johnson, Mr.. Secretary Z"
Seward "Do you remember that wonder
full passage in AddisOn's Cato
Thou hast seen Mount Atlas
When storms aud tenPests gather on his browj
WI OOuuSOuS BIZ, Is Ine CatO OIL To- QaV. i
begin to think his country is not worthy of
him"
Something was said about the next presi-
dental election, with occasional regrets that
Mr.. Stewards prospects for the succession
were not as bright as they ought to be-
Seward,-"Reserve your regrets, gentle
men reserve your regrets. All things are
working together for good. The Presidency
is not bed of roses. In all human probabii-
ity my term of life will not run many years
into the future. Time with me was never so
precious as it is at present, aud instead of
lamentiDg that higher houors are not within
my grasp, than those 1 have already enjoyed
at the hands of my countrymen, 1 feel that
ought to thank God that things are as they
are"
These words were uttered in a tone savor-
ing of sadness, but the shrill cry of all ashore
that's going, intermingled with the noise of
the pilots bell, and the roar Of steam, put an
end to further reflections, and obliged the
Secretary aud friends to shake hands and bid
each other adieu.

This is considered the best appointment in

POETICAL.
MY MOTHER.

Long years have passed Of toll and strife,
Aud darker grows the path of Lille,
As up the rugged steep climb,
And pause TO hear the lingering chime,
of mem'ries from the Olden time,
My mother, my sweet mother.
Thou told'st me how my Saviour died,
On bloody Calvary cTucified,
How Mary wept his crOss beside.
As agOniEinglv he cried,
And darkly flowed the crimson tide,
My mother, oh. my mother!
Thy lessons were not taught in vain,
Their sacred seed still retain,
That in my heart will germinate,
And though the harvest be hut late,
Twill bless thee in my last estate,
My mother, my dear mother.
Once more, once more, ] crave to rest,
A child upon thy faithful breast,
And at thy feet 10 prayer TO bow,
And feel thy hand upon my brow,
With many deep lines furrowed now,
My mother, oh, my mother.
Long years have passed. alas what years,
or blIghtCd hopes and binding tears,
And on his lonely wandering way,
Thine absent son doth Dighily pray,
Gods blessings on thee far away.
My mother, my sweet mother.

AN INCIDENT OF GEsTER SICKLEs REIGN.
We have been told of an incident that oc-
Cured some days since in Charleston, aud
which, as illustrative of the condition of
things under Satrap Sickles, is deserving Of
publication. The satrap had taken n seat in
one of the street cars which contained among
its passengers a number of ladies, and bent
on enjoying himself without reference to the
annoyance of others, and in utter defiance of
the rules, commenced smoking cigar. The
conductor knowing the character Of the man
with whom he had to deal, hut still determin>
cd to perform his duty, notified him that
smoking in the cars was n violation of the
rules. "What did you observe ?" said the sa-
trap. 81 merely desired to inform you" said
the man in the blandest manner possible,
''that passengers are not allowed to smoke in
the cars. 1t is contrary to the rules" "Ah,
indeed replied the satrap, taking out his
watch with the utmost nomchaNonce. "In-
deed Then you shall consider The ruIeS
suspended for tie nert kdLf hour" And so
they were suspended, for there is no power,
no authority in the South to set aside the fiat
of the military bully and tyrant who now
reigns supreme over the noble Commonwealth
once represented by such men as Calhoun
aud Hayne.

A Bitter Radical comes to Grief.

The latest sensation item in military circles
in this department is the order of General
Schofeld, issued on Thursday, for the arrest
OF Charles w. ButtE, of Norfolk, upon the
charge of deirauding and swindling soldiers
OF the United States army out of their earn
lngs. The order was sent to Norfolk with
the usual despatch. when telegram was re-
ceived in reply by General SchOfeId- which
stated that Buttz left Norfolk the same after
noon for New York, with the intention of
abandoning the country and seeking safer
quarters in Europe.
Buttz was volunteer from Pennsylvania
in the service of the United States during the
war, and made his appearance in Norfolk du-
ring the administration of General Butler
Since then he has rendered himself notorious
by melting hatred between the races in Yir-
ginia and disseminating the most radical and
revolutionary opinions. He impeachcd by
wholesale the last Virginia Legislature thro'
the press, and called upon the United States
authorities to suppress it. He is the same
man who, at the late Republican Convention
in this city, had difficulty with Mr.. John
Lewis, of Rockingham, who accused him of
horse stealing. Mr.. Lewis however, subse.
quently withdrew the charge, because he was
not personally cognizant of its truth, and the
witness upon whose information he made it
was not forthcoming. After catechisiug
MIR. Bolts, and figuring otherwise cohspicu>
Ously, he offered series of resolutions laud-
atOry of General Sheridan.-R Wig.
We take the above from the Richmond
IIhig of Saturday. This fellow Buttz was u
candidate for Congress at the last election
and figured very prominently in the late mon
grel convention ut Richmond. Sooner or
later all such men will show the clnven fnnt

TENURE OF OFFICE LAWN respect to
this miserable law which is a sort of defence
for robbers Of the public treasury, who had
been foisted on this government before the
accession of Mr.. johnson to the Presidency. we
copy the following from the New York Tyi-
bmre, the organ OF the Radical party of the
United States
The tenure of Office law has had an un.
expected result, which we hardly know wheth-
er to call deplorablc or comical. a postmas-
ter was suspended for defalcation the Senate
rejected the person nominated as his success
sor, aud under the law the delinquent
had to be reinstatcd. In communicating to
him this amazing result the Postmaster Gen
eral politely requested him, "as favor to
the Department TO use as little of the money
of the Government and mako as few false
entries us possible" 1t is not said wheth.
er there is any legal punishment for stealing
in the State wherein this gentleman lives.

FURTHER DEvELoPMENTs-The Wash,
ington Express contains the following: "a
German named Rabbi, who was confined in
the Jail at the time of the visits of the Hon.
James Ashley to Sanford Conover, and who
was privy to some of the conversations which
took place, has made some curious statements
in regard to the plan of impeachment, as de-
veloped by the representative from the Toledo
district. From these conversations, as we
hear of them, it appears that Couover was
paid by somebody TOR the evidence which he
gave before the impeachment committee, The
aflidavits of Rabbi will be made public few
days."

INVESTMENTS IL THE SoUTH-AD In

that it does not hear of extensive invest
ments, powerful companies and great schemes
for the introduction Of manufacturing estab-
Iisbments in the Southern States, from cotton
and wOOllen factories frOra,iron and steel, 10
leather, boots and shoes aud farming imple-

A new hog disease, it is reported, has
broken ont among the hogs of south Missouri,
which is killing off nearly all attacked by it.
At first the disease was supposed to be hog
cholera, but close observation shows that the
symptoms and actions are quite different from
that disease. The animal has much the ap-
Pearsnce of having what is known among
farmers as the "blind staggers-" As long as
warmth and circulation are kept up, the ani>
NAL shows no signs of disease. but as soon as
it is quiet and inactive the suffering appears
intense. In many instances the eye-baIis are
turned completely around and frequently
burst. The hog attacked generally lives from
two to three days. All remedies yet tried
have proved ineffective, and many farmers
are in dismay at the ravages Of the disease.

Reduction of Work at the Springfield
Armory.

Between $50 and 400 men have now been
discharged from the armory, leaving the whole
number still employed 500 or $50. The first
order from Washington for the AIlin altered
breech- h-lOaders directed the commandant to
make $4,000 for trial These were com
Pleted, aud the reports from the army where
the guns had been used being favorable.
second order for $4,000 was gwen, with in
structions to push the daily production up to
800 day. The instructions were complied
with as soon as possible, and about 81 900
arms of this model had been completed, when
the order, recently promulgated, came to re-
duce the production to 200 per day. This
Will be done at once, and it will consequent
ly take about three months to complete the
$4,000 guns This number will equip our
present standing army, and it is supposed
that the Government, acceding to the stress
Of unsuccessful inventors and breech- loader
proPrietors in high places, will here cease its
alterations on the Allin plan, at least for the
present, and until a more thorough and COM
Plete trial in the army shall have made its
superiority unquestionable
Three months hence, when the order for
$4,000 breech-loaders is filed, the force tS
employees at the armoTy, according to presell
indications, will be reduced to 500 or 400
men, who will devote their time to repairs on
guns and sabres, large numbers of which are
now on hand. This was about the force em.
ployed just before the war If new and
different model of n breech-loader should be
adopted, or there should be war-furrv. the
force will be enlarged again as circumstances
demand; but the numbers indicated must be
accepted as the usual peace quota.-iSpring-
