The Last Fantastic Trick.

Ihe political situation is interesting.
Any conjecture of affairs which re-
wives the hope of tho Presidents I'M
parchment is welcome. The suspen-
sion of Mr.. Stanton and the removal
of General Sheridan are two contin-
gencies which We have great hope will
prove sufficient to incitc an easy going
and amicable Congress to the stern
duty of depOsing the Traitor of the
White House.
The American people and their
representatives in Congress sometimes
do great public act from the highest
motives but not often-c certainly not
always. All the great measures of
Liberty which have made lllustrious
our political history of the last few
years were prompted more by time
serving expediency than by moral
duty. The rebellion was conquered
not SO much through the great yirtue
of the North as through the over
fendishness of the South. The Fede-
raj cause needed to be goaded to
victory by the plottings of Jefferson
Davis ; by the disaster of Bull Run ;
by the slaughter of Fort Pillow; and
by the horrors of Andersonvillc. How
wonderful is that constitution of affairs
whereby the wrath OF man is made to
praise God ~-~-A---
So now, to tho maintenance of The
public safety, the nation still needs
little further prolongation of that chief
OF its calamities, Andrew johnson.
Sweet are the uses of adversely We
still need Mr. johnson in the presi-
Dental chair for the purpose of edu-
eating the American Congress up to
the high duty of impeaching him next
December. A few more tricks, a
little more treason. an added spice OF
Satanic malice in the President, and
thu thing will be done SO we REUTER-
Mrs. Browning's prayer, Give more
madness, Lord !"
The impeachment ought TO have
been accomplished long ago The
President has held his office year too
long already. Shall he be permitted
to hold it to the end of his term
From the time Of the first plain proof
of his surrender to the rebels, we have
demanded, and shall continue to de-
mand, that this Aaron Burr, this Benc-
dict Arnold, this Andrew johnson
shall be put out of the way of lniurng
a government which he first disgraced,
tEen betrayed, and would willingly
destroy.
The most hopeful sign of the times
now on everybody's lips is that, if the
President uses the bow -strug upon
Mr.. Stanton and General Sheridan,
he shall himself be strangled with it.
But was not the Presidents measure
oil inl4ulty long ago full, pressed down,
aud shaken together! Must the great
renegade add new outrages to the old
in order to earn bis title to decapita-
ton? What has heretofore been, and
what is now, the one and only OBJ
staclc TO a peaceful and speedy recon
structi0n of the Union! Nothing
under Heaven but the treachcrv. ma
lignity, and bascncss of Andrew john
sou. lie has been long the chief
enemy of the Republic. Why, then,
is he suffered to remain its Chief
Magistratel
If anybody is to he removed, let it
not be MIR, Stanton; let it not he
General Sheridan; let it be Andrew
Johnson
Congress ought not to have adj
iourned, leaving the field clear for this
brlgand to crrry on war against the
Republic. Mr.. johnson is a bold, bad
man, and needs to be waiched-not
only with eyes, hut with votes, and
with arms. 1t is only because he has
so miserable minority of accom-
plices that he has not already over
thrown the Republic. We ask again
for a general utterancc of the popular
voice in spontaneous demand loI the
Presidents impeachment and d. no
sition from Office Noe York Mdc-

The Athens Foundry and Ma,
chine Works, ut Athens, Ca, had be-
fore the war an excellent reputation
for the manufacture Of steam engines:
saw, sugar, and bark mills; threshers,
horse powers, etc, and have ever since
been kept in successful operation. We
are glad to learn that this concern is
now doing a thriving and increasing
business. Captain Il. Nickerson, the
manager, is thorough mechanic, and
improves every machine he takes in
Eand.

manufacturer, was arrested inEirginia
