NEW YoRR, February 5.-s7rhe displacement Of
President JoHNsoN viii not occasion more inconye-
nence than would the displacement Of q Mayor Of
New York" So says the Herald, but after all ,tis
mere matter Of opinion, and business men tell
us different tale; they teIus that when the head
OF the body polite ia removed there viii certainly
be at least some nconvenence" to the body itself:
they tell Us that the Government win threaten to

named REaAN, who had devised q scheme for the

being npped at the same time, and other lottery
sweetness on the ,deeert air. The charitable men
who get up these achemes solely for the benefit OF
the poor lmeaning Ehemsal7esyp put an mcharitable
construction on the motive of the prohibition, and
contend that tho object is To- check them in the
prosecution Of their plans of benevolence.
General SANTAANNA has turned up again, like a.
bad shilling; he has turned. mp on Staten Island
with head uppermpst, and tis limited that in the

era, but homeopathy is inst gaining gronnd whilst
some who cal themselves eclectic physicians mix
up the two systems as they mix their drugs. As
the race stands now, the aopathic steed is still in
