FOreShadOWing Trouble.

The Presidents home organ, the
National Inteuigencer. has a lengthy
article on the course which the Pres
ident should purs ue, in view of the
recent legislation of Congress, which,
if it in any respect is al indication
of the views or intentions of Mr..
JOHNSON, is %portentous of trouble to
the country. The Richmond En-
Quirer. n of the most rabid of the
Southern rebel newspapers is highly
elated with it, and says: The ar
tcle IS significant Of ~Snopendtng
troubles. The Integligencer declares it is
the Presidents sworn duty to pro-
tect and defend the G constitution, and
that he cannot execute the Recon
struction acts, or permit their execu-
ton by others; and hat if pretended
Executives attempt to put In force
these laws. no one can doubt what
the Presidents duty is, and what are
the consequences of any hesita-
ton or faltering on his part. 1t
talks very significantly about IAN ap-
preaching crisis" and intimates that
it may be precipitated by the action
of Congress on the supplemental re-
construction bill. The Mteuigemcer
argues that " acts Of Congress purport
to exonerate from or forbid the
D.os;Jart 70 ovoouta fbopo oap not he
laws. for nothing is a law of the
United States which the President is
not bound to execute" 1t further
refers to S. contingency which may
arise " and "a collision between the
Executive and the Legislative Depart
ments. We can hardly believe that
President JOHNSON is insane enough
to raise a point in reference
to the plenary power of Congress
to create laws for the govern
ment of the Nation; but if the article
in the Intel igencer foreshadows his
action, he will only insure the suc
cessful accomplishment of the work
of the Impeachment Committee.
Congress has just decided to do moth
ing with the impeachment business.
but it would only need the usurpation
and folly indicated by the Presidents
organ, to bring about his arrangement
and displacement from office. Moth
ing is more fixed than the determine

Governor. The latest name suggested
is that of Hon. Tom. BOWLING, OF
Terre Haute, as "a gentleman pos
sessing, IN an eminent degree, those
peculiar requisites which amply
qualify him for the first position under
u political State organization. y
The nomination appears in a letter to
the New Albany Ledger, in which
the hope is expressed that "he may
be induced to lend the use of has name
IN that connection" That is the great
trouble. There is an immense amount
of unemployed Democratic talent just
suited for the place, but the trouble
is that these distinguished gentlemen
somehow cannot be induced to lend
the use of their names in that con-
nection.
In reference to the suggestion the
New Albany Cdna8serctal says:
Tom. Bowling belongs to that fos-
sIllterous class Of curious specimens
that are occasionally dug up to re-
mind US of the days beyond the food.
He delights in the of the
days when he was an old Wing, the
only pure party, by Cd, sir, that
ever existed" His greatest pleasure is
to hang his harp Che was an Irishman)
on some convenient willow, and sigh
and sing of the days that are no more.
By some accident he drifted into a
Democratic eddy years ago. and, al
though at times he has seemed to
struggle manfully with fate, he has
never been able yet to buffet his way
out, having become somewhat obese
and Fallstafian of late years.
Latterly he seems to have re-
lsigned himself to fate and calls him
self a Democrat, under protest. Mr..
Bowling, having been Canal Trustee
many years, has managed to lay by
some hundred thousand or so for
these rainy Republican days, conse-
quently he can well stand the racket
and expense Of a canvass for Govern
or, a matter now of no small conse-
quence, considering his microscopic
hope of an election. But if it were
possible that any Democrat could
come within thirty thousand votes of
beating Baker, we would as soon
have Tom. Bowling try it as any
body else. He is a clever gentleman
p" of the old school, SIR" If he was
Governor he would run the State on
the old Wing plan, 1.-THE only pure
party that ever existed, sir"

THE returned Quicksteps give a
glowing description of their trip to
Evansville. They were cordially re-
ceived and escorted to the grounds,
where every courtesy was extended to
them. There was avery large crowd in
attendance, and a great many ladies.
During the progress of the game the
Quickstep boys were the recipients of
many favors from the ladies, In the
shape of bouquets, applause, &c. for
which they feel profoundly grateful.
The game commenced at about half
past ten and ended at one.
The party adjourned to the Sher-

a sumptuous and magnificent dinner.
They were edited and entertained by

GENERAL THOMAS is now on a tout
through the Southern States, for the
purpose of inspecting and improving
the various national cemeteries where
repose the remains of the Union SOL
diers who fell in the late war. He
has already visited Vicksburg, Nat.
chez, New Orleans, and Pensacola,
and before returning will visit San
Antonio, Brownsville, and Tyler, in
Texas, passing also through Louis
lana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennes-
see, and Kentucky.
The object of the tour is not merely
to visit existing cemeteries, but to
open new ones, and to arrange for the
transfer from various isolated and tenn
porary burial-places to these national
cemeteries of the bodies of the fallen
heroes. The total cost of the work
will be three million dollars. During
the war the American Government
showed in its sanitary arrangements
that no army was cared for like the
American; and its careful attention
to the remains of those who have
fallen in its service is worthy of the
people it represents.

THE Louisville Courier furnishes
Kentuckians with a programme of
operations in case Congress refuses to
admit all the members to their seats
who were elected last May, in that
State. 1t says it will be the duty of
the people to re-elect their rejected
members and continue the programme
of reelection until Congress becomes
ashamed of itself and admits them.
1t cites the case Of JOHN WILKES. of
England, who, on being rejected by
Parliament, was successfully sent back
by his constituents four times, until at
length wearied with the struggle Par
Lament gave way, and he was admitted
to his seat. u.s.
All this is very heroic, but won't
amount to much in the end. We
think it will be much, wiser for
Kentuckians to elect Congressman
who are not tainted with treason, and
who will be allowed to take their seats
'withoutany opposition whatever. The
contumacy of the Southern States,
which were in rebellion in rejecting the
mild terms first presented for their
acceptance, only resulted in Military
Governors and negro suffrage, Per-
haps the Courier is ambitious of
securing for Kentucky the same bless
ings. That paper could not adopt a
policy better calculated to bring
about such a result. What with The
murder of Federal soldiers, the mall
treatment Of the freedmen, and out
RACES upon all classes of Union men,
the State is already attracting the
earnest attention Of the people. 1t
only needs hat she should persist in
electing rebels to represent her in
Congress to insure the application of
the remedy that is working admirably
farther South.

The ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

IHE ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
-Congress has adjourned till Novem-
Der, which is simply adjourning to its
regular session, with the time for that
session fixed a little earlier than US
ual. This puts a sudden damper on
the exploitation of all those grand
schemes and all that humanitarian
philosophy that certain of the radical
leaders carried to the national capt.
tai; no grand Alabama demonstration
from Chandler; no universal confisca-
ton and redistribution of property
from old Ben. Wade; but Congress
has quietly and practically gotten
through with what it met for, and is
going home. This is a praiseworthy
course. We believe. on the whole, it
is better that the President, even by
Veto Message and his Message on the
Southern State debts, could not stimu-
late Congress to take up the business
ofimpeachment; for, since he can do
none of the wrong he dreams, it is
more in accordance with the sense of
the country to express a distinct
opinion Of his harmlessness by leav-
ing him alone.-New York Herald.

The New York Times says, The
sensation produced in Europe by the

er than occurred on the assassination
of LINCOLN. Not a voice is anywhere
raised in justification of the decd.
The excavations which, in LINcoLN's
East were directed against BooTH. are,
in the present case directed against
the whole Mexican nation We see
nothing very remarkable in this. In
Europe the flowing of royal blood
always produces a greater sensation
than that of mere plebians. But it
must have been observed by all, that
while Mr.. LINCOLN's assassination
most powerfully affected the common
people of Europe, MAxIMILIAN's
death is most keenly felt by the
crowned heads, and sorrow for his un-
timely taking off is mainly confined to
the court palaces.
