A PLEASING ITEM FOR CHEwERs AND
SMoKERs-The Philadelphia Press say =
Everybody who is in the streets at very
late hour of the night or early in the morn
inc, may notice individuals about the fronts
of restaurants, hotels and bar-roOms, gather
ing from the streets and cutters the sumps
of cigars that have been swept out or emp
tied from the spittoons, and will wonder
what possible use can be made of them. For
the benefit of ofpipe-smokersa and chewers we can
give some information On that subject. There
are number of establishments in this city
to which this filthy refuse is taken and sold,
and where it goes through the following
process 1t is washed, dried in the sun or
over a fire, placed in small mill and ground,
and then neatly put up in small packages
and sold as a superior qualify of fine cut
chewing and smoking tobacco OF various
fancy brands. The quantity of g old SOL
diers,' as the boys call them, thus gathered,
remodelled and sold every day, is almost in
credible. The general quality of the tobac-
co which goes throgh this process is said to
be excellent.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
saws the various printed reports efinterviews
with the President and private individuals,
purporting to give the political views, etc,
of Mr.. johnson, should be received with
caution. 1t must be apparent to every per-
sou who reflects a moment, that Mr, John-
son would not seek to send to the country
his political sentiments through the medi-
uln of fugitive, irregular and contradictory
statements of private individuals. Since
the President submitted his annual message
to Congress on the 3rd inst, his views and
opinions upon the political situation and the
proposed amendments to the constitution
have undergone no change.-That he does
not favor these amendments is notorious,
aud does not hesitate to express his dlsap-
proYal of them on all proper occasions but
he has not, either in his official or private
capacity, attempted to interfere with the
free action of any of the States upon the
question. He deems the fate of the amend
ments, at least in their present form, as al
ready etfectually determined by the action
of the Southern States and he does not
regard the threat of tcrritorializing those
States as cause of serious alarm, since there
is good reason for believing that should the
proposed territorial bill be enacted into the
form of law, the Supreme Court would, up
on an agreed case presented for decision, at
once decide the bill null and void.
