 '!Simply because they dare not do it. It would sound the death-knolI of their party and they do not mean to give up the reins while there IS any money to steal."-.sentine', July 19
 President Johnson is entirely in the pow CT of the Republican party; his impeach- ment would " "enhance their party power, by putting a Republican in his place; it would nowhere excite any strong popular opposition, while at the West, it would be popular measure. Not only, therefore, are the foregoing statements of the ,Senti- mel plainly inconsistent with each other but they have no foundation ill fact. Noth- ing, too, can be more discreditable than the style of political discussion which in dulges in such language as this: ''Noth- ing but the fear of publicity restraints them the men who hold the reins of power, from Crime" "They do not mean to give up the reins, ~hHe Mere IS money 10 aeal :" That kind of editorials we expect from spe- cies of Democratic journalists who have nothing but their unreasoning bitterness to recommend them; but from gentle man, and one able to discuss politics fair ly and courteously, we have 8 right to ex- pect something very different.

A Wonderful Land.


In the Eastern Slope newspaper we
find a report of many OF the curlosl-
ties and great riches OF the Black
Rock country, in the Northwestern.
part of California. The reports OF
the singular features of that section
are of many years standing, but are
so marvellous that they have seldom
obtained credence. Among the won
derful stories we have heard is one
that there is a petrifed tree about
100 feet in length! The present re-
port in part confirms previous state
ments, and establishes the fact that
Black Rock is one Of the wonders OF
the Pacific coast, like the Yosemite,
the Big Trees, the Geysers, &c. Be-
side the curiosities, there appears to
be an abundance Of silver at Black
Rock, but the ore is said 10 be OF an
unusual variety and difficult to work ];
but it has been WORKED with very
good results at the mills at Washoe.
The quantity of ore is so great that
it is said it will Justify the erection of
a thousand mills. A gentleman who
visited the section has exhibited to the
editor Of the Eastern Slope very
many curiositieS peculiar to the coun-
try-s.rangc petrificatiOns from the
manifestations watcr-worn pebbles
from the mountain tOpS-knives, ar
row-heads and daggerS manufactured
by Indian skill from solid fint-a
superior quality apparently OF ore
block tin, with its curiohs feature, that
it admits no change in form, and a
thousand strange and new things
The editor says: He also tells us OF
many strange things that he saw, but
could not bring with him, and many
stranger things he heard of but did
not see. Among the latter list OF
wonders is a great basin that contains
a petriied forest, apparently floated
there-many vast trees of solid stone
ranging from to Is feet in diameter
Doubtful as this tale may appear, shall
we dare to dispute its correctness
when we know this strange country
has a boiling spring of fresf
water IA feet in diameter, that can
not be sounded, from which no droI
Of water ever runs; and in the same
vicinity there is flowing stream o
cold and apparently good water, the
drinking of which induces venerea
disease; and that any water founC
by digging is as salt as salt can max
it; that a halfdollar deposited in tn
soil is eaten up 10y the salt, and afte
thirty days no vestige of it can b
found.

the ticket office, carrying her reticule

her ticket, walked out on the platform,
put down her chair, sat down in it.

work diligently. Steadily she rock

The day drew to a close, and night
came on. The last train was about
starting, when the depot master asked
her if she was not going out.

Hadn't you better get aboard, and
secure a seat?.'
Thank YOU" replied the elderly
dame, Pm very comfortable"
The train left. The master came
around again.
Madam, [ shall have to disturb
you. 1t is late; the trains have all

Mr. William I,lovd Garrison ha,

Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison has ad-
dressed letter to the New York Inde-
pendent on the subject of impeaching
the President, in which he emulates the
recent production of Wendell Phillips
in the .4nti-Slarery Standard. He closes
his letter as follows:
"Let this periured and perfidious oc-
cupant of the Presidential chair be sum-
marily removed, and one chosen to fill
it who will be true to his country,
working with Congress in it's en-
deavors to give the same security to lib
erty and loyalty at the South as is en-
.ioYed at the North, and the safety of the
nation will be placed upon an indie
structible foundation. Not to do this
will be the sowing of dragons teeth,
ending in a, harvest, of blood. -
'"The right of impeachment is not only
q Constitutional right, but the Consti-
tuition itself assumes that it may be an
imperative duty. If Andrew Johnson
has not made himself liable to it, then
the phrase gh crimes and misde.
meanors' becomes mOckery, and he
may act the part of q factiOnist and
usurper to any extent with impunity.
But the President of the United States
is as amenable to trial and convention
for betraying the trust as the humblest
official in the land, and should he rs
readily brought to the tribunal of JUS
tice." .
