"Ihe superiority OF rediICy 70 sham was
never more apparent than in the contest now
waging between the President aud the Secre-
tary of War Stanton is n power in peace or
war. He is the one who upheld the war He
did more with His single brain than Lincoln
with all his Generals to destroy the South
lie took in the true idea from the start, that
it was to be revolution Of both society and
government. He acted on that idea with
persistence, system and audacity, day and
night, and he made himself and his office the
source from which Northern power proceeded
with overwhelming force. johnson is not
any body; he never was Of the least use to
the party that elected him, and he has been
a most serious disability to the Democracy,
which foOlishly thought of adopting him
He is a man of words, aud not of deeds. He
has neither order nor energy, nor 4 moments
release from his egotism and vanity. lie al
to gether lacks courage, and the knowledge
of men, and especially of principles. He is
n sinruLacrWm /; the Vest and South has given
the best definition We have seen of Andy
Johnson small man in large place.
''Stan.On is entirely too many guns for him,
although the telegraph says the President
has put his foot down. Old Hickory would
have raised his in the same circumstances ::
but the two men are from Tennessee, and that
Is their only resemblance. johnson signed
the tenure of Office bill, which makes it the
law that the Secretary of War and all the
Cabinet are only responsible to Congress, aud
may carry on the Government in spite of the
President, till the Senate removes him by i'm
parchment, as they will do. Father back
johnson abdicated when he failed to call on
the Southern States to send their rcpresen>
tatives, and with them and the Democrats
make Constitutional Congress. But that,
his own meddling with those States had for
hidden, and we find him caught in a net of
his own spinning.
Stanton is the incarnation of the Radicals;
he is not so much Secretary of War AZ he is
the real representative of the dominant party
a man in position, and not only in position,
but a man of such intrinsic force that he could
have done the same thing for the South he
has done for the North. A most formidable
man is Stanton such a man or devil as the
South could not match, and thereforc persisted.
johnson had better not fling his own head at
Stanton's or he will lose it."

THE CABINET CHANGE.

President JOHNSON has atlast nerved him
self up to the discharge of duty which he
owed to the country and his own selfrespeOt.
In rebuking the, insOlenee of Stanton, and
suspsnding him from the discharge of his off,
cial duties, he has only performed an. act
which had been rendered absolutely necessary
for the vindication of his own honor and the
unity and concurrence of his advisory COun-
ell. The retired Secretary. Of War was an
incubus upon the administration, aud was
ready at all times to thWart any patriotic eff
forts. at Cancellation that might be made
With the brutality of Hayneau, the blood
thirstiness of RObespierre, and more than
the ability of Talleyrand, he had made him
self the Bismarck of this government, and
was welding his power and the influence of
his massive brain to crush out and annihilate
the political existence of more than a third
of the population Of the country. That his
presence in the cabinet was tolerated so long,
speaks well for the amiability of the Presi-
dent and the fOrbearance and christian forti.
tude of Mr.. Seward whilst his removal at
this late day excites theapprehension.that tha
President has been influenced more by per-
sOnal than by patriotic considerations. The
cOntumacy of Stanton had become intOlera-
bic, and his usurpatiOns insufeTable. The
SSident's personal pride was touched, and
with herOism that should have had Its man.

Next in order comes the grand Swan Pond
bison, or ByersbuLIeuD,, an animal that is rep
resented to be exceedingly vicious in its pro-
pensities, and decidedly canine-ieal in its af-
fectiOns, setting greater store to the ear Of a
pup than to the eye of bull. 1t is said that
this animal is capable of forcing the strongest

The last specimen to which we can refer
without overlapping our limits, is the Prose
e"terer, or Carroll Stubbsidun, and here
SOuIhall fails US, and we are obliged to fall
back upon our own imagination for descrip-
ton. We know not unto what animal we
can iken him, unless it be the byOntO zOXnl
5iganteuUs, which SOuthall says feeds mostly
on oysters, but is very fond of pound cake
and frozen milk, and that it can walk, swim
or rise in the air. The rising part, We pre-
sumo, is not to be taken literally, but refers
to the soaring of the fancy"

one of the express wagons. As the wagon
was returning from the cars, and just ~ it
had rot in front Of the Office on Second
street, tub full Of eggs on the load slid to

ken. The driver thought it an egg scrutias-

PEoPLE AND CAPITAL CoNISG.-The Ions
don correspondent of the New York Herald
says:
. am inclined TO think if we get things
settled in America, and arrange our differ.
snces with England before the end Of this
year, that the next European mania for spec.
ulstion may turn toward the United States,
very likely to the purchase of Southern lands
and grand plans of emigration. In another
year something must be done with the vast
accumulation Of money now lying idle here
and on the continent. The United States is
IN high favor. If we have no serious mishap
this will increase. The lavish expenditure Of
Americans in Paris and elsewhere, backed as
it is m most cases by unauestioned and ran.
idly acquired wealth, is making a serious inn
preston upon Europeans.

We call attention to the advertisement OF
the stove and tin ware business, by Williams
Son. B. A. Williams, the senior party,
has been carrying on business for many years
in our city, and has, by perseverina atten.
ton, accumulated handsome capital, por.
ton Of which he has invested in the manu-
factsrine business, and is thus doing more
to promote the interests of the city than
many others who make more pretensions.
His business has become quite extensive.
and is still thriving and growing, and yields
handsome profit. His example and e1pe>
rience should stimulate other citizens to
consult their own interests, and at the same
time promote the prosperity Of the city.

IT strikes US that Spring is having pretty
rough time Of it in getting foothold this
year. 1t has come and gone time after time,
TIL one almost gets out Of patience with its
sluggish movements. For instance, the first
day OF the month was bright and pleasant, as
much Ike May weather as could be desired,
while yesterday, the second, was cloudy, raw
and dissgreeable. Early in the morning we
were treated to light fall of snow, not q
great deal, it is true, but fully enough for the
novelty Of the thing. Snow on the second Of
May, 10 this section, we take it would be as.
tonlshing, even to the most Anticipated inhab-
liant. Fires during the day were necessary,
and, in short, the weather resembled very
much the blustery, bleak November, more
than the genial, inid-ke May.
