TIE TOCsIN OF wAR.

From the Press and Times. Aug 81
1t is not only possible but probable that
the country is about TO be convulsed with
another shock, not less wicked and treason.
able than the rebellion. Indeed it appears
TO US hardly possible to escape il. Disap-
pointed and treated with GOODNESS and dis
trust on every hand, the President seems
determined to emulate the infsmy of JEFF
Davis, and damn himself to fame, since he
has hopelessiy forfeited the applause Of the
people. He evidently believes that he can
control the army, and that all that is
wanting to make himself absolute master
Of its movements is to deprive the dis
tinguished officers of their respective com
mands. The dark face Of Gordon Granger,
who by common consent is considered a
servant of the President, ready and apt to
execute any command, now peers from be-
hind the curtain. The country hasno con-
6dence in him, and the soldiers have 40
regard for him. If the President trusts to
his ability he will lean on a broken reed.
The Presidents jealousy of all rivals has
been the country's salvation in the past and
will be in the future. He
Bears like the Turk, no brother near the
throne"
He tolerates none who will not be his
supple slaves, ready to execute his com
mands without parley or controversy.
Hence he cannot get an officer of ability
great enough to destroy the government,
long enough to effect his purpose. An Of
hcer able to help the President to play the
Caesar, will prefer playing Caesar him
self TO merely being the servant of Andrew
johnson. Why should he buy eternal in
fanny at so dear a rate or sell himself to
everlasting shame for so trihing a recon-
pense as the notoriety of being Johnson's
tool? Whoever, in the army, can get his
consent to obey, the President, in his plot,
will assuredly be too feeble to carry it to
successful issue Johnsons inordinate
vanity and extravagant jealousy will in
volve him in endless quarrels with all able
coadjutators, and the Submissive, plant
fellows will have neither brains nor cour-
age enough to give him much help!
We will not be astonished, however to
hear Of the clash of arms at Washington
within the next ninety days The arning
of the Maryland Rebel militia is full of
meaning. Congress will meet determined
to impeach the President, and the latter
will use the most desperate means to pre-
vent it, even to forcing the Rebel Senators
into their seats or dispensing Congress by
force. The republic will be rid, we hope
and believe, of the usurper now at its head
before the next snowfall.

NAUGHTY PHIL-HOW He CAME TO
he EXCOMMUNICATED
From the Freeman's Journal (Catholic)

From the treemans journal (CathOlic.)
Our attention has been drawn to a para
graph in the Herald and Viadicator, week
ly paper in Philadelphia, owned and edited
by an Irishman. 1t refers to a suggestion
made by the Boston Pilot of the name of
Phil. Sheridan as candidate for the Presi-
dency. The Philadelphia paper puts on
tumble airs, and says it will not do for an
Irish paper to propose an Irish-American
Catholic for President. If that is all that
is the matter, General Phil. Sheridan can
get a clean or dirty "bill of health p 1t is
true he is of Irish Catholic parentage We
have heard that he was once in the Domi-
mean College in Ohio as a student. If so,
he is the poorest specimen of handiwork
that we have known the Dominicansto turn
out. We have been assured -thGl-Ise Is a
Free Mason. If so, and if the Lodge he
belongs ts is in good Standing, it would
certainly and of necessity expel him, were
some Of his doings in the Valley of Vir-
ginia to be brought to trial-that is, except
Free Masonry is as much altered as "Meth-
odists North" have been.
If Phil. Sheridan wants to run as Radi-
cal candidate for President we can be of
service to him. We can get him certif-
Gates Of jpso fdcto communication by the
Catholic Church. Free Masonry is badly
run down from what it used to be among
American Masons if he cannot get the same
certificate from that religion-if they ever
had the misfortune of having him among
them.
If Phil. Sheridan wants through ticket
proving he is communicated from the
Catholic Church-and reserved seat at
that, he can apply at our Office and we will
make out his papers for him. The mem
DRY of what he did to the devoted Father
Sheeran, who came into his lines. on pro-
per permission, to care for dying soldiers
of both armies, will haunt Phil. Sheridan
on his death-bed, and a great deal lower
down, except he has the grace to get re-
lieved from the terrible penalties he has in
CURED, and which it is not every priest
that can absolve him from.
If Phil. Sheridan is not fool, he had
better hunt up Father Sheeran, in New Or
leans, and see if the good father has, or can
obtain, the power of absolving him.

CROPPING ON SHARES.

The Franklin, Tenn, Rsyiag, Of the 3lst
nit, has the following:
From what We can see and gather, the
farmers who are cropping on shares with
freedmen in this county, will, as a general
rule, abandon the plan another year. We
know good many fields that would, with
anything like proper cultivation, have
grown rich crops Of corn and cotton, but
were abandoned or neglected during the
late canvass 10 such an extent that they are
entirely ruined. Our farmers. generally.
would do well to profit by such lessons,
which by no means arise from isolated
cases, and shape their plans accordingly.
There Is less probability Of securing good
work next year Than this, and we are sat
ished, after careful study, that the trne
policy Of our farmers is 10 solr q Iarocly, an.
creased body Of lol.d ia grass and cyuin-
which we anticipate they will do. The
farmer who next year, cultivate7 his lands

FAN OF RENTS TNNEW YORK.

Ii is a remarkable fact, that whereas a
year or two since, il seemed impossible to
procure even the smallest room for bust
ness purposes on Broadway, there are now
some of the most eligible stores and lofts
on that thoroughfare-" To Let" The fact
il, rents have been 20 exorbitantly high
along Broadway, the sums demanded are
so totally out Of proportion with the ex-
IRENE limit to which business might be
transacted, as to preclude the possibility Of
renting the places we refer to, and there
can be no doubt that unless a great deduc-
ton is made in prices, they must remain
vacant. 1t is pleasant to add that, in all
parts ofthe city, rents are falling, and next
year will doubtless witness still greater
decrease. During the war, when 50 many
thousands of people crowded into the city
from the West and South, and so many
were prevented from going TO Europe on
account Of the high rates Of exchange
New York was filed to overlooking, and
there was not actually house room for all.
Now that we are resuming a somewhat
more normal condition, landlords viii
have to become more reasonable, and the
sooner they do so the better it will be for
all parties.-N. I, Express.

Indian Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Gen. Hancock,
in his testimony before the Indian Com
mission, is very decided in his opinion
that serious war exists, and even declares
his belief that if troops were Withdrawn
not a white man would remain in Colorado,
and the great highway to the Pacific would
be CLOSED The Indians, he says, are am
ply provided with the best made weapons,
even making use of field glasses The ex-
penses of the department have thus far
been substantially those of a peace estab-
lishment. He places the number of hos
tile Indians engaged between the Platte
and Arkansas at 1900 or 1000.
Returns from the Internal Revenue De-
partment here, show a falling off of fifteen
million dollars in revenue for two months
past, as compared with the returns for the
corresponding period last year.
Notwithstanding the chronic reticence OF
Gen. Grant, an officer who has daily in
tercourse with him, has informed that
he has expressed himself privately against
unqualified negro suffrage This fact is
corroborated by leading Radicals, who de-
clare they will not take him for President
unless he comes out square on the ques-
ton.
