A Western correspondent has made a very
formidable statement to prove that President
johnson, although very obstinate man,
lacks personal courage. 1t seems that John
son made speech once in Cincinnati. in
dulging in bitter dennnciation Of traitors,
and that the crowd applied it to Gen. Buell.,
who was just then in great disfavor with
''earnest" loyalists. Buell. was present and
heard the speech. The next morning, says
the correspondent, "the little game-cock OF
Shiloh marched in full regimentals into
the dining room where Mr.. Johnson was
breakfasting, walked directly to where he
was sitting, clanked his spurs and sword, laid
down his gloves, and with a scowl of fearful
significance, gazed Indignantly into John
sons face, and then taking up his chair and
bringing it down with a bang that made
everybody jump, sat down to his morning
meal. And in the face of this terrific dem
onstration, johnson went on coolly eating
his breakfast as if nothing had happened
We hope for Gen. Buelfs sake that this sto
ry is the invention of an imaginative CORES

The South Ina 1867.

From The Tribune.
The Senate having adjourned, Henry Will
son has resumed the canvass which he COM
menCed at Petersburg, the last great citadel
of the Rebellion, and will journey through
the Southern States, speaking once or more
in each State as opportunity may be presented.
General Wilson was an earnest avowed oppo-
nent of slavery long before the Republican
party was formed, as he has since been one of
that party's foremost champions. Born to
poverty, he has preserved that inheritance
unimpaired; Injured from childhood to labor
and frugality, his education is that of the
common people, but is such as only New Eng
land and the communities sprung from her
loins have hitherto protfered to the children
of the poor.
In his history, his character, and his con-
victions, General Wilson fairly represents and
embodies that great party which has raised
four millions OF our countrymen from brute
chattelhood and aw-guarded ignorance to the
dignity of free manhood and the rights OF
American citizenship. His journey south,
ward is designed to command the Fundamental
truths whereon the Republican party is based
to the understandings of those who have
hitherto heard OF them only through the pre-
JUDGED misrepresentation of that party's
enemies, and to the acceptance of all whC

Governor jenkins - The Fallactes oi
OppOBttiOn To RecOnstruCGIOn.
From The Herald.

GO,ernOr Jenkins - The FaIlacIes of
Opposition TO RscOnstrucGiOn'
From the Herald.
Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, has addressed
to the people of that State from Washington
an extra-gubernatorial manifesto, which we
are glad to see is appreciated at its true value
by the Georgians who pronounce it trash. Odd
notions of the relations of some great recent
events dominate the Governors reason. He
remembers that Congress assures the world
that the war was waged, not for the oblitera-
ton of States, but for the Union; and he says,
'With these ideas in your minds, in April,
1865, you in good faith ceased resistance;
laid down your arms, and made full sub
mission" We may say in all candor that
"ceased resistance" is a good phrase; but it
is not an accurate description of the forced
surrender of Lee and Johnston-that abso-
lutte destruction of the power to resist that
laid the South PROSTATE at the conqueror's
feet many months after it had defantly re-
fused to listen to all proposed terms; and yet
Jenkins fances the South has right to claim
those terms. There is a very ancient illustra-
ton exactly in point. The fisherman by the
seaside piped all day, but the fish would not
dance. Towards night he drew his nets and
as they came into shallow waters the fish
nOppeu up ana uOWn at very nVely rates
"Aha," said the fisherman, ''yOu will dance
now, will your But you will find it will be to
quite another tune" So the South should
naturally understand-and we believe does
understandable, having held out till the last
grasp, it cannot honestly claim what would
surely have been conceded if it had accepted
terms and laid down its arms at time when
resistance was still possible.
Governor Jenkins advises his people to
expect support from the judicial department,
whose DEGREES cannot be overridden by Con-
gress. Modern laws fortunately are not like
those of the Medes and Persians. Ours espe-
cially are the expression of the popular pur-
pose, and grow with our growth. 1t is the
Office of the Supreme Court to interpret the
laws that the people have made, to decide in
disputed cases what was the true intent of the
law making power-the people. But the
appeal to the people is higher than that to the
interpreter of their intentions; and if tn,
Supreme Court shall decide that the law
already in existence must be construed a.
Jenkins claims, then Congress will merel.
make the case clearer by passing laws S
distinctly expressing the popular will o.
reconstruction that misunderstanding will
impossible. Thus the course of Governo
Jenkins is mere folly and the South, i
despising his teachings, shows practical wis
dom full of promise for the early re-establish
ment of law and order over the whole country

Gold Gambling In Wall Street.

From tie Herald
Gold fluctuated in price during the last week
rom 134 to 1893, showing what the specula-
lors call feverish state of the market. The
news from Europe, and not any domestic
trouble has been the cause, or rather the gold
brokers and operators seized the opportunity
afforded by the difficulties between Prussia
and France regarding Luxembourg for Gre
atinp an excitement, in order that they
might gamble in gold. If even there should
be war in Europe, that would be no good
reason for any great change in the value of
yold or stocks here. We should not be
mixed ND in such a war, and should pursue
tbe even tenor of our way just the same. At
frst there might be a little disturbance in the
stock and money markets. through some of our
securities being sent home; but this would be
SLIGHT and only temporary. In the end we
sbonld probably be- benefited by flood of
emigration and money to this country. But
there does not appear to be any ground now
for fluctuations on the war idea. The latest
news is more pacific With regard to these
ms and downs in stocks and gold, the truth is
thew are in the result of gambling, and are
not produced by natural causes. Every event
or circumstance, however trihing, is caught up
and exaggerated for the purpose OF sending
up or down the market price, and very often
the most barefaced bogus news IS invented
and circulated for the same purpose. People
should not be disturbed, therefore, by these
fluctuations in Wall street, and should not,
unless they are in the ring, touch stocks or
gold at such time.
