the reconstruction acts, the writer rep
resents him as saying that he desired
a fair registration Of all qualified voters,
without regard to race or color. he did
not wish to give any advantage to the
white men, but much less was he dis
posed to make them the slaves to the
negroes. Where the negroes had the
majority, as in South Carolina, he wished
them to exercise the power; where the
white vote was in the maj Gritty, as in
Texas, he desired the white majority to
control He wanted only the law to be
fairly executed, with equal chances to
all. This was being denied them by
General Sheridan, and his manner and
mode of acting was fast familiarizing the
people with the tyranny of despotic gov
eminent"
The correspondent again urged that
"the public would not be able to under
stand why he struck down despotism in
one department and yet suffered it in
another" to which he replied, "other
changes would be likely to follow soon. A
proper investigation was now being made
into the conduct of one or two other
commanders who, it was charged, were
playing the autocrat. The President
expressed the greatest apprehension as
Al. &c ant xat
said he still relied on the good sense and
patriotism of the people. In his speech
in the United States Senate in Deem
Der, 1860 Mr. johnson said he had de-
nounced the party who would break up
the Government in order to preserve
slavery; and he also denounced those
who would destroy the Government in
order to abolish slavery. He was equally
opposed to both extremes now, and his
only wish was for speedy return of
fraternal relations among the States"
If this is a fair representation of the
position of President johnson, land the
veracity of the Post correspondent is at
stake upon it, then his ground is sim
ply absurd, inane and contemplate. We
hone he has been misunderstood; though
the whole representation of the Post
writer looks very likethe truth, account
ing so well as it does, for the hitherto
hesitating, nerveless, and inefficient
action on the part of the Executive. Mr..
johnson opposes the party which would
break up the government to preserve
slavery, and that which would destroy it
in order to abolish slavery, indeed
To-day there is no party in existence
which would do either. We see there
fore from this conversation what the
President was but not what he is. He |

present status as clear as mud

An Arctic Encounter with an
Iceberg

DIR. Hayes, in his new work, '"The
Open Polar Sea-, thus relates a dan
gerous encounter with an iceberg
"GivinR too little heed to the cur
rents, we were eagerly watching the in
dications of wind which appeared at
the south and hoping for breeze, when
it was discovered that the tide had
changed and was stealthily setting us
upon nest of bergs which lay to lee
ward. One of them was of that des-
cription known among the crew by the
significant title of 'touch-me-not, and
presented that jagged, honeycombed
appearance indicative of great age
They are unpleasant neighbors. The
least disturbance of their equilibrium
may cause the whole mass to crumble
to pieces, and woe be unto the unlucky
vessel that is caught In the dissolution.
"In such trap it seemed, however,
that we stood a fair chance of being
ensnared. The current was carrying
us along at an uncomfortably rapid
rate. A boat was lowered as quickly
AS possible, to run out line to berg
which lay grounded about hundred
yards from us. While this was being
which rose a hundred feet above our
topmasts, then slipped past another of
smaller dimensions. BY pushing against
them with our ice-poles we changed
somewhat the course of the schooner;
but when we thought that we were
steering clear of the mass which we so
much dreaded, an eddy changed the
direction of our drift, and carried us
almost broadside upon it.
"The schooner struck on the star
board quarter, and the shock, slight
though it was was, disengaged some
| fragments of ice that were large enough
to have crushed the vessel Lad they
struck her, and also many Jumps that
ratified about us; but fortunately no
person was hit. The quarterback was
quickly cleared, and all hands, crowding
forward, anxiously watched the boat.
The berg now began to revolve, and
was settling slowly over us; the little
Jumps fell thicker and faster upon the
after-deck, and the forecastle was the
only place where there was the least
chance OF safety.
sat length the berg itself saved us
from destruction. An immense mass
broke off from that part which was be-
death the surface of the sea, and this,
dozen times larger than the schooner,
came rushing up within few yards of
us, sending vast volume of water and
foam flying from its sides. This rup-
ture arrested the revolution, and the
berg began to settle in the opposite
direction. And now came another dam
ger. A long tongue was protruding
Immediately underneath the schooner;
already the keel was slipping and grind
ing upon it, and it seemed probable
that we should be knocked up into the
air like football, or at least capsized.
The side of our enemy soon leaned
from us and we were in no danger from
the worse than Maidstone showers which

Consumption Durable by DIR. Sehenek':
Medicines

To cure Consumption, the system must be
prepared so that the lungs will heal. To ac-
complish this, the liver and stomach must
FIRST be cleansed and an appetite created for
good wholesome food, which, by these medi-
cines will be digested properly, and good
healthy blood made; thus building up the
constitution. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS cleanse the stomach of all bilious or
mucous accumulatiOns; and, by using the Sea
Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is re-
stored.
SCHENCK'S PULM0NIO SYRUP is nutri-
tious as well as medicinal, and by using the
three remedies, all impurities are expelled
from the system, and good, wholesome blood
made, which viii repel all disease. If pa
TENTS will take these medicines according to
directions, consumption very frequently in its
last stage yields readily 20 their action. Take
the pills frequently, to cleans the liver and
stomach. 1t does not follow that because the
bowels are not costive they are not required,
for sometimes in dirrrhGa they are necessary
The stomach must be kept healthy, and an
appetite created to allow the PulmOnic Syrup
to act ON the respiratory organs properly and
allay any irritation. Then all that Is required
to perform permanent cure is. to prevent
taking cold. Exercise about the room as
much as possible, eat all the richest fOod-fat
meat, game, and, in fact, any hing the appe-
