The HIGHER LAw.-The Boston
Commonwealth wants q Lieutenant
General who will be governed by a
higher law than the orders of his su-
periors. That's the sort of nuisance
which is found in such perfection in
Mexico, and which has given that
country such high standard in the
scale of nations.

BEHIND HIS AGE.-A correspond
cnt of the London Times has had a
protracted interview with President
Johnson, and, by authority, publish
ed the results Of his audience. We
have not space for 50 heightened an
article, but the following extract will
give the measure Of Hercules. On
the delicate subject of impeachment,
the President said with smile: Il
had contracted Old World ideas, de-
rived from Magma Charta and so
downwards, respecting the right Of
the accused to be heard, and to be
fairly tried; but these seem to be
going out Of date Now, q committee
sitting in secret and hearing one side
only, and that side the enemies of
the accused, PREJUDICE his case. 1t
IS q consistent part of the general sys-
tenn which we see being pursued.
We regret that SO determined an
individual as President Johnson when
contracting Old World ideas of
Magma Charta," did not likewise con-
tract Old World notions as to its pre-
servation. n.-4e!guSt0 ConstitutionnliA

SOUTHERN MATTERs-Gov. ORR.

SOUTHERN MATTERS ORn.-
The New York Herald, of Thursday,
in noticing it's Southern correspond
ence, says:
Our Southern letters are dated at
Richmol i, Charleston and Macon.
Some excitement existed in West
Virginia on account of the murder of
two members Of the ''Red String AS
sociation, a radical organization for
electloneering purposes. In South
Carolina, the great destitution among
the people is believed to be mainly
due to the disorganization of the
labor system. \ case, testing the va
lidity of powers of attorney held dur
ing the war, on which property was
sold for Confederate money, is pend
ing in the United States Court at
Charleston-Mrs. Caroline Carson,
daughter of the late james l.. Petit
grew, and now residing in New York.
being the plaintiff. Governor Orr
has been severely denounced for the
sentiments he expressed at the Cham
ber OF Commerce Banquet and in his
address to the freedmen recently. He
said that $40, 100000 Of property
had been banished from Charleston
by the refusal of the people to asso-
ciate with Northern merchants. He
also announced that he was in favor
of giving the negro, who could read,
the right of suffrage Ia Macon,
high hopes of successful business
this year are entertained by the mer-
chants. The action OF New York in
reference to the relief of Southern
destitution is looked to with lively
emotion.
The SUPREME COURT. The Ma
Nonal Lltelligencer says:
eff the destruction bill of Con
gress were brought up for decision
before the Supreme Court, who does
not suppose that a full bench would
declare its unconstitutionality IN toto9
rist, any where in the broad land,
would not SO declare?"
The Richmond Dispatch says:
cit We're an easy matter, perhaps,
w OIlilS Ch1o lioStion peioiS Gue ou-
preme Court; but it would be difficult
to obtain decision. If that Court,
in Difference to demoralized public
opinion, withheld its decision upon
the test oath for twelve months after
its opinion had been formed, how
long would it withhold its decision
on such a question as this? And if
there was majority of only one in
favor of the Constitution in the former
case, what assurance have we that
there will be q majority at all in this
case? Judge Grier's health is said to
be feeble. In his absence, the Court
would likely stand equally divided;
for If four judges could be found to
hold that military courts for the trial
of civilians are constitutional tribu-
nails, there is no reason why four
should not be expected to hold that
Congress is not bound by the Consti-
tuition at ALL"

DOUGLASS AMONG THE ECYPTIANs. =
The Southern part of Illinois is called
Egypt. In Egypt, is a city known
as Cairo. In Cairo, is published u
paper styled the Democrat, which
thus announces all event in the his
tory of that aquatic locality:
Fred Douglass IS u wonderful Mig
ger, and, next to Thnd. Stevens, we
do not believe there is man in this
country who is so universally and sin
cerely worshipped as he is. He is a
nervous, rapid, bold thinker, and an
eloquent talker, and there is but one
thing that initiates from his tran
scendent greatness, and dims the lus-
tire of the unhappy Aurora Borealis
that has shot in such greasy splendor
athwart our skies-that is the streak
of white blood that is said to con-
taminate his veins. The Republicans
of Cairo owe it to themselves and
their party to give their distinguished
champion and leader u reception
worthy the man and the great hour
that brings him among them. Among
the radical leaders of Southern Hi
nols, Fred. Douglass stands up very
giant IN intellect and decency, and
we bespeak for him full house and
respectful hearers.

WAR INEVITABLE. The Courier. des
Etehs Unis, the French paper in New
York, has long article favoring the
idea of a general European war. We
translate the opening paragraph, as
follows:
cit has been seen, by several pre-
ceding articles, that we consider an
European war, at Il period more or
less distant, as inevitable Unless
France has lost all interest of her
dignity and her interests, Franco
must be drawn into it. 1t is probable
that the explosion OF struggle every
one foresees will not occur with the
year just commenced. The French
Government will leave nothing un-
done to prevent universal Exposition
with which so many interests are
concerned-from being troubled by
European disorders. No doubt other
countries, like Russia and Prussia,
might make commencement, attack
ing us before we were prepared; but
they themselves have not attained
the degree of strength they believe
necessary to cope with MS. and unless
unforeseen events occur, we may con
slider peace certain for the year; if we
may give the name Of peace to Il fe-
vcrlsh state of things that is ruin to
the people, and which scatters every
where well-founded anXieties."

Tho good things of this world have each Their
appointed mission. .-.
1t is the mission Of HOSTETTERS STOM
ACH BITTERS to prerent and rsliepe o great va
riety of ailments. ~
For twelve years its success as proteetir'
and remedy has been without check or draw
back 1t is strong negatire ,uidence OF this fact
that the efficacy of the article as specific for
dyspepsia, biliousncss, constipation, nervous
ness. general debility, and intermittent fevers,
has never been questioned.
As proof positire of its infallbility in such
cases, the statements of public men, whose
names are familiar as household words, have
from time to time been given to the world.
If it's reputation is not founded in facts, then
truth is a shadow, and the utterances OF consoi.
entious citizens are of no more value than"dicers
oaths."
And what is its reputation Let the progress
Of its sales answer the inquiry. Where twenty
dozen bottles of Hostetters Bitters were sold
in 1857, Jire hundred dozen arc disposed OF now.
Could public opinion be more significantly ex-
pressed than by its unparalleled increase Of con-
