Mr.. johnson maintained that the Sec

additional power on the President, and
that there could in consequence be no
necessity for repeating it. In che course
of his speech Mr.. johnson referred to
the imprisonment of Mr.. Davis, and to
the fact that he has not been allowed a
trial, which he denounced as "blot on
American civilization" After some

was rejected. A vote was then taken

There is some difference of opinion as

the belief that the latter will be the

death is tugging at its very vitals. But
this last dose, the purging of the Su-
preme Court from our political system,
is little too strong for its iron-clad
stomach. 1t cannot, dare not swal-
low it. The people would eject it, as
Jonah did the whale. Isn't it glori-
Gus, though, to think that with all the
dia6lerie, the twisting and screwing
and cheating and tyrannizing and iy-
ing and stealing, of the leaders of the
Mongrel party, the Democracy have
got the better of them in two of the
three branches of the Government :?
The Executive and Judicial branches
are both administered in accordance
with Democratic doctrines, and moth
ing remains to the Mongrels save the
Rump Congress. What is best of all,
is, that Seward in the one and Chase
in the other branch, are at the head of
affairs, and both have been compelled,
6y their oath to the Constitution, to step
under the Democratic banner. Rich,
isn't it?
The Democracy of this city are pre-
pairing to celebrate the eighth of Janu-
ary, in grand style. The anniversary
of Old Hickory's victory at New Or
leans, is an appropriate occasion for
Democratic reunions and ought to be
observed in that way all over the coun-
try. Talking of celebrations, reminds
me that the party who furnished the
supperpn the occasion of the late Rad
ical weleometo Congress, has brought
suit for moneyfdue him for furnishing
the said supper. Someof the Mongrel
Bumpers, will probably get rid of some
of their extra pay before they get
through withhim.
The last on dit is that a movement is
afoot among the Western Democrats to
nominate Gen. Grant for the Presiden-
cy. The Radicals have tried their best,
to capture Grant, but have utterly fail
ed. But lam getting prolix and must
halt for the present. PRY.
