FOREIGN OPINION OF ANDREW
JOHNSON. -Bayard Taylor in letter
from Germany TO the New York 2Fi-
5une, has the following significant
paragraph:
Let me say since I have touched up
on a political question. that since I
have come to Europe L have constant.
ly been called upon in France, Switz-
eriand and Germany, to explain our
present difficulty, and that while j
have found great many persons un-
friendly the to the permanence of
the Union, no one has the courage to
confess himself an admirer of Andrew
Johnson. Whatever may be the pre-
valent ignorance of our institutions i'm
Europe, most persons can distinguish
between the functions of the Legislative
and executive departments, and the at
titude assumed by the President is
more notifying because it renders the
office, through him, ridiculous i'm the
eyes of both parties-those who wished
us well, and those who wished us ill.
heard Mr., Buchanan praised, over and
over again by members of the party
of reaction i'm Europe, who would re-
store absolutism if they could; but the
same men do not dare to praise An
drew johnson lest they should seem to
sympathize with what even they ad.
NIT to be folly and stupidity. AS fol
the MeCraken style of diplomacy
which has come into practice at Wash
ington, let US blush and be silent.

The President, if his kitchen council
are to be believed, intends to act live
lier part than that of chief barnacle on
the ship of state. We hear threatening
murmurs among the barnacles, and
Washington is as fun of this barnacle
gossip as rocky shore at low water.
What are they going to dos 0verturn
Congress, Grant, the Army. the Peo-
pie, and so forth? Something of this
kind is evidently proposed. The state
ment that the President intends to take
up aims against "the sea of trsublesn
with which Congress confronts him APP
pears to be reiterated in the letter of
one of his confidential supporters,
which we publish among our Wash
ington dispatches. IL is not SO plain
that by opposing them Mr.. johnson is
going TO end them. But the rumor that
he intends to assert the amnesty doc
trine to the uttermost, to carry consti-
tutionality to crisis, and to- proroaue
Congress, has some little color of au-
thenticity. If the object of our Exec
utive, as limited by his letter-writer, be
to die game, by ali means let him die. -

A SINGULAR DIsCovERY.-The Mon
tana Post says: An exploring party
which has been to the headwaters of
the Yellow Stone River has just return
ed, and reports seeing one Of the great
est wonders of the world. For eight
days they travelled through a volcanic
country, emitting blue flame and liv-
ing streams of molten birthstone. The
country was smooth and rolling, with
long level plains intervening. On the
summit ST these rolling mounds were
craters from four to eight feet in diam
eter, and everywhere on the level plain
were smaller craters, from four to six
inches, from which streamed blaze
and constant whistling sound. The
hollow ground resounded beneath their
feet as they travelled, and every mo-
ment seemed to break through. Not a
living thing was seen i'm that vicinity.
The explorers gave it the significant
appellation of He'll

Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts
writes to the Nation, as follows:
"From the day I entered the War
Office to the close, have followed him
with the best opportunities for observa-
ton, and ain sure the nation owes Q

he was an able, honest and devoted

sionately devoted to the country and to

know many public men during the
trials through which we have passed
but no one has impressed upon my
mind more evidences of being actuated
by sense of duty to the country.
II know that he remained in office
for the past two years to do what he
could to save what the country had
done. He felt that ii was 1. hard lot to
be distrusted by friends, and we often

sacrifice himself, if need be, for the
country. honored and loved him for
silently bearing the burden of Office
and reproach. He gave the highest
evidence of patriotism and unselfish-
ness in staying in Johnson's Cabinet.
"Grant knew that Mr.. Stanton re-
manned in office for the sake of the
country, for he was present, only few
weeks ago, when Mr.. Stanton spoke of
these matters. They We're friends,
