Presidential Gossip.

The talk about the return Of Genera
Mcclellan for the purpose of grocious
ly receiving the Democratic nomina
ton for the President next year, says
the Nashville Bapncr Of the 22d inst.
is merely branch Of that ever bloom
ing tree OF twaddle from which grape
vine telegraphy takes its start. 1t is
not in the powep of any clique, howev
er powerful, to arrange fer the nomi
nation of any one particular person
and if such power existed, and such
nomination were definitely arranged
the fact would hardly express itself
through the medium Of the grapevine.
1t is true that the nomination of Gen.
eral Grant by the Radicals is next to a
certainty. But this is nota matter of
arrangement. An unwanted contin-
gancy-vcry rare indeed in political af-
fairs-has turned up, pointing out
Grant as Il necessity 1t is not SO with
respect to Mcclellan. The contestants
for the nomination of the Democratic
Convention will be numerous. The
friends of Governor Seymour, Of New
York, will represent his claims with
great industry and skill. lie is gen
tleman of ability and fine address; lie
carried the Empire State against odds,
during the war his record as Il Demo
crat, a patriot, an honest man, is un-
impcachable. Mr.. Pendleton, of Ohio,
will have hosts of warm paltisens. lie,
too, like Governor Seymour, is uiYll-
ian of intellect and experience, bred up
in the Democratic faith, with tile West
at his back Then there is Andrew
Johnson, inferior to neither in capaci-
ty, and superiorto both in vigor, whose
claims cannot and will not be over
looked. These, and others, will be
considered, and we hardly think Gen.
Mcclellan would stand even first in or
der 1t is not usual for man to have
two chances at the Presidency, espc-
cially if he failed in the first. Ger.
Clcllan is an upwright, patriotic citi,
zen, but the occasion which gave him
strength has passed. We should re.
gard his return and appointment as
Secretary of War much more probable
and appropriate than his nomination
for the Presidency next spring.

The Reign of Fraud.

The New York Tribune confesscs
that several hundred millions ofdollars
are annually lost to the revenue. From
Rollins. q red-hot Radical at the head,
Callicott and the Tribune coterie at the
tail, the revenue system is run by Rad
icals.
| The New York Herald announces,
upon what it claims to be positive au-
thority, that, of 10000 bales of cotton
belonging to the government at the
close Of tho war, not "ten thousand, or
their proceeds, ever came to the gov
ernment." The remainder was stoleu
by the agents Of that party of great
moral IDEAS
The Chicago Times speaks ola whis-
ky. ring which ext nds from Chicago all
over Illinois, and takes in large share
of Wisconsin and Iowa. A five barrel
seizure is sometimes made, and once in
a while small still is squclched. If
large seizures are ever made, they are
usually released. A case in point, it
says, occurred there last summer. In
June, very heavy seizure WAS made; I;
but the highwincs were soon after re-
leased. The release made some talk,
and prominent official published a
long defense, the chief point of which
was that serious loss would occur to
the owner if they were not released at
4 certain day. This was so long ago
as last June, and yet, despite the pres
sing necessity of releasing them at once,
some 10 barrels ofthem were not ship
| ped OIL until last Monday and Tues
day.
Everywhere the revenue officers are
Radicals, who divide their plumber with
Radical Congressman and other leaders,

IMPEACHMENT.

President johnson looks upon it as
a party movement, and continues indif-
fercnt. He also declares that if the
Republicans intend to carry it out, the
mode is prescribed in the Constitution,
and to that he can make no objection.
The proposition Of Stevens, Butler and
Boutwell,, to pass an act of Congress,
to suspend the Executive, pending his
trial, and before he is found guilty, the
President will undoubtedly resist as q
high-handed, extra-judicial, and uncon-
stitutional act. He has stated this Of
ten, and recently. Impeachment has
not gaincn ground since the July ses-
sion. The members of Congress in
Washington do not talk that way very
strong.
Before the impeachcrs enter upon
their work the III jority are advised of
facts like these: - ..
lst. That Congress and the Presi'
dent are separate and coordinate de-
partments Of the Government, and each
department elected by the people for a
specific term, and intrusted with the ex
ercise of certain delegated powers.
I'd. Congress has no more leyol right
to "saspend' tile President from the ex-
ercisc Of the executive power vested in
him by the Constitution Than tie Presi-
dent has to sucpend Congress from the
exercise Of legislative powers.
Sd. Congress, in its legislative Gu
| acity, has no rightful power over the
subject of impeachment. The Consti-
tuition vests in the Representatives "the
sole power Of impeachment" in the
Senate, "the sole power to try all i'm
pcachmcnts.'

WILL THEY RESIGN on RETREAT Ohio
has not only spoken as State, but in
Congressional Districts, the votes in
three of which, Schenck's, Shellabar-
gers and Ashley's are worthy Of note.
Schenck, in 1865, was elected in the "a
District by l, OCT majority over Ward,
Dem. This year the four counties con
stituting that district give Democrat
ic majority Of $50, or change against
Radical Schenck of 1857 votes. In

2,l71, now, cnly 0l,--a popular vcr.
dict of 9, $50 votes against Slrclabnr-
ger. In 1866, the lmpeacher Ashley
had majority Of 1917 in the 10th
Ohio District. Now the Radicals car.
ry it by 257, showing a Democratic
gain against Ashley Of 1900. These
are significant facts and results.

Effects OF Tea ON the system,

The Boston Journal of Chlnislry
publishes a lengthy article on the prop
critics oftea, in Of which the writer says
that it is no matter Of wonder with him
that the brain-worlier5, in all che years
since tea was introduced, have regarded
it with the highest favor. 1t has n
power to subdue reliability, refresh the
spirits and renew the energies, such as
is possessed by 10 other agent. When
the system ofman is exhausted by Ia
Dor or study, cup Of tea reinyigorates
and restores rs no other form Of food
or beverage can. He thinks it promo
tive Of longevity, and adds:
Tea saves food by lcsscning the waste
Of the body, soothes TIE vascular sys-
ten and affords stimulous to the brain.
The young do not need it, and it is
worthy Of note that they do not crave
or like it. Children will froquueii.!!Y

y WFE's INFLuENcE.-You fancy,
perhaps, as you have been told so oft
ell, that a wife's rule should only be
over her husbands house, not over his
mind. No: the true rule is just the re
verse of that. a true wife, in her hus-
bands house, is his servant: it is in
his heart that she is queen. Whatev-
cr Of best he can conceive, it is hcrpart
to be; whatever Of the highest he can
hope, it's hers to promise; all that Is
dark in him she must make pure; all
that is failing in him she must strength
en- into truth from her, through all the
worlds clamor, he must WIN his praise
in her, through all the worlds warfare,
he must lind his peace.
