Ventions were considered necessary to keep in
trudera at distance and to preserve property
trom poachers; but with all their ingenuity our
fathers were never capable of constructing pits in
the road that would deceive and ent1ap even those
who walked boldly and feared no evil. The march
OF improvement has accomplished wonders, and it
has been left to the present generation to bring
the system OF pitfalls to q science, compared to
which al former efforts were but as child's play.
The great fire Of 81 afforded an excellent oppor-
tunity to develop and exhibit this science. For
merly, as if ashamed Of their deeds, the owners
OF these pits covered them with grating, which
was some protection to the passenger but, alas
old things have passed away, and under the new
regime these open cellars confront MS boldly, and
itreqnires thorough knowledge Of the topography
OF the region to pass through it unscathed.
PAYNE and PARKER's plats are now Of no avail,
and unless the city authorities would have the
burnt district Surveyed and hugo crosses or
some other appropriate symbol (gas lamps, for in
stance) erected to warn the unwary. the dearth Of
items viii not long continue. It is true that the
most Objectionable OF these openings have been
fled up, but it has been done hurriedly, and their
plunge is still rather sudden for those who ara
net fond Of excitement.
As gymnastic performance these involuntary
movements might DO applauded, and indeed do a.
ford amusement to all except the bruised sufferer
and he is consolingy told 'ts better to grin thsn
to growl." Even the old prcvorb to sslook before
yon leap" is 50 much wholesome advice thrown
away-for, in the gloom Of night, the few gas lamps
only shine like the ignis tatuus, and lure the
traveller to his doom. We have heard it stated
that our City Fathers design applying the ''-nult
plying principle to their street lamps, and it is

TO test it thoroughly, they will increase the num-
ber Of lights. -

vention held at Baltimore on the Tth OF
June, 1864, do appoint that a National
Convention Of the Union Republican
party be held at the city of Chicago, Illi-

We invite the cooperation of all cltl-

happily terminated in the. discontinue OF
rebellion who would hold fast the unity
and integrity of the Republic and main

The CURRENCY ANTI CONTRACTION
BILL.-The currency anti-contraction bill
which passed the House by a vote Of
loS to 80, will be modified in the Senate.
Senator Sherman has reported the bill
merely stopping, until otherwise ordered
by Congress, the cancellation of four mila
lions non-intercst legal tender notes. The
House bill forbids the Secretary from re-
tiring the compound interest notes on the
three per cent. certificates, which are
legal tender notes, and which amount to
$75,O0O,OO0. The Secretary will retain
the power to pay these and cancel them
whenever he has the money in the
treasury.
We think that the country will be salts
fed with Senator Sherman's bill. Ofthe
non-interest notes and fractional currency
there are S400, 900, 900 out standing, and
as the national banks have obtained
$500, 900, 900 of notes the country is sure
for the next year, in any contingency, of
a paper circulation of 100000, 600. We
consider it settled fact until the presi
Dental election in 1868 is decided, that
there will be no further contraction. The
people will leave it in the hands of the
next President and the next Congress to
determine how soon specie payments
shall be resumed

THE PRESIDENT,

That some men cannot endure success
is truth forcibly illustrated IN the career
of johnson as President Never since
he corner stone of our Republic was laid
has an occupant of the presidential chair
made such an egrcgious ass of himself as
the present incumbent. Swinging round
the circle was but one of the many fool
ish things ne has done, though that was
sufficiently infamous to condemnn man
for all time. But johnson learns moth
ing. The kicks and cuffs which other
men receive for their folly, sharpens their
wits and teaches them to act with dignity
and grace becoming the position which
they perchance may fill, but not so with
a. J., the more the people kick him for
his stubbornness, the more stubborn he
is-just like mule. In fact johnson
has all the bad qualities of mule, with
none of the redeeming features which
make that animal the useful servant of
mankind. (That last sentence is put in
because we do not wish to cast inf;.my on
anything that worked faithfully to sup
press the rebellion, by odious compari-
sons.
The latest cause of self gluiiiication to
the subject OF these remarks is found in
the action of Gen. Hancock at New Or
leans Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and
hosts of other prominent Generals do
not coincide with the President iii his
views on Reconstruction, but Hancock
does. or seems to, and Immediately the
president points him out as one Of the
greatest living men, comparing him to
Washington, and impudently asks Con
gress to give him vote of thanks.
Thanks for what? for embracing rebels,
and all others who seek to destroy the
government of our fathers? This is it,
nething more nothing less. Andrew
johnson IS worse rebel, worse traitor
than jeff Davis and would destroy the
government if it was in his power to do
so. He has heretofore supposed it was
aad even yet threatens under certain con-
tilgencies to resort to force, if necessary
to resist the w4ii Of the people, which is
equivalent to saying that he can and will
destroy the geeernmert if he is not per-
mitted to have his own way La past
ages men issre lest their heads for saying
not one half as much as that, but we would
not wish to see harm come to the prcsl-
dent in an unlawful manner, for we be-
lieve him powerless to do what he desires
to do, but that old expression which some
one made concerning their joy if the
Lord would remove him to Heaven,
seems to us exceedingly appropriate %
the present time However the only
thing to be done now is to wait and hope
for the best. Let the president do his
worst, his time is nearly out and Grant
the iavincible- roon take his place
and restore order out of confusion.
Fly ~~ifter round We wheels of time
And 5-i.s.s the welcome day.

In session, and why not then have asked
for his removal, If it was decided? 1t
certainly was the intention of the legisla-
tive branch of the government to place a
Cabinet Minister beyond the power of
Executive removal, and it is pretty we'll
understood that SO far as Cabinet Minis
ters are effected by the Tenure of Office
bill it was intended especially to protect
the Secretary of War, whom the country
felt great confidence in, The meaning of
the law may be explained away by an as
tute lawyer, but common sense and the
views OF loyal people will give to it the
effect intended by its trainers.
Second. On the subject of the removal
of the very able commander of the Fifth
Military District. Let me ask you to
consider the effect it would have upon
the public He is universally and de-
scrvedly beloved by the people who sus-
tanned this government throughout its
trials, and feared by those who would be
enemies Of the governments. 1t fell to
the lot OF but few men to do as much
against any enemy as General Sheridan
did during the rebellion, and it is within
the scope of the ability Of but few, in this
or:.any other country, to do what he has.

satisfaction. He has had difficulties to
contend with which no other District
Commander has encountered. Almost if
not quite from the day he was appointed
District Commander to the present time,
the press has given out that he was to he
removed, that the administration was
dissatisfied with him. This has embold-
ened the opponents of the laws of Con-
gress within his command to oppose him
in every way in their power, and has rem
dered necessary measures which other
wise might never have been necessary.
In conclusion. allow me to say, as
friend desiri 1g peace and quiet, and the
welfare of the whole country North and
South, that it is my opinion that the loyal
people OF this country-I mean those
who supported the government during
the great rebellion not quietly sub

whom they have expressed their conf-
dcnce in, removed
