TwO Dangerous COuntcrfelts.

Two new and dangerous counter.
teitS have been recently put in circu-
lation. One an imitation Of the five
dollar National Bank mote. The en-
craving on this one is said to be finely
executed, and the bill, in the main,
we'll calculated to deceive. Still, it
may readily be detected. In the gem
uine the group Of Columbus and his
companions is composed Of Eve per-
sons; in the counterfeit there are but
four--the one in tho back ground at
the extreme end and the most extreme
in the group is missing. In the coun-
t~erfeit, also, tho extended arm of Col
umbus is without a hand. Bills of
this description on five different banks
have already appeared, and others will
doubtless o follow.
The other counterfeit is an imitation
Of the fifty dollar legal tenders with
the vignette likeness of Alexander
Hamilton, and is an exact counterpart
of the genuine, except some slight or.
rors in engraving. The easiest way to
detect this one is to observe the mar
ginal line offigures running round the
back Of the note. In tho lower left
hand corner will be found the figures
$50 instead of so, as in the genuine
The mark is quite plain, and will in
sure the detection of tho counterfeit.

The Presidents POIIcy-stantOn
Adheres to Omce,

A special dispatch from Washington
to the Cincinnati Enquirer contains
the following upon the Presidents po-
%sition, and upon the unprecedented te-
nacity with which Secretary Stanton
clings to Office
The various reports Of interviews
with the President on political sub.
jects that have lately found their way
in print, should be received with eau
ton.
Whatever Mr.. Johnson desired to go
to the public on the political situation,
Was embraced in his message to Con-
gress, which was submitted less than
a month ago, and it must be apparent
10 intelligent persons that rs would
not so o o seek to send to the country
fugitive circulars and contradictory
statements, through tho medium ofin-
dividuals in their private capacity
There is authority for saying that tho
report Of the interview between the
President and Nj. Weatherby, ofSouth
Carolina, is in part, at all events, q fc.
ticiouS representation Of the Presi-
dents position.
Mr.. Johnson's views of the political
situation and of the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution have not
undergone any change since he sub
mitted his annual message to Congress
on the third inst, and he has not taken
any steps in his private or official ca
pacity to prevent the free accession OF
all tho States in the matter of adopting
or rejecting the Constitutional amend
ments. That he does not approve
these amendments, every one must
know, and he does not try to conceal
that fact. He considers the amend.
ments eftectually killed, and that there
is no reason to believe that they will
become a part o fthe organic law at all
events, in their present form.
Nor does he believe the Radicals
q succeed in their efforts to terrific
rialiEe the Southern States even ifCon-
gress should enact this scheme into the
form oflaw. He does not believe it
Will stand the test of a judicial decision
in the Supreme Court.
Should Congress pass this territorial
over a veto, an agreed case would at
once be submitted to the Supreme
Court for its decision, and no one here
doubts that the Court would decide
she territorial act null and void.
There is good reason for saying tha0
Mr.. Stanton will cling to the War De
partment as long al possible, notwith
standing he assured Mr.. johnson, som
weeks since, Of his desire to Withdraw
from the Cabinet rs soon as he finished
his report for Congress.
Mr.. Stanton loves power too we'll t.
give il up without a struggle, and h
win exercise all his ingenuity AM
cunning to retain his position 10 Sec
rotary Of War. He will, however, b
put To q test in the course Of ten day
or two weeks. The District suffrag

bill unequiyocally. Informally, oil
the members, save Mr.. Stanton, have
already disapproved tho measure
The Radicals claim Stanton as one of
their party yet and he knows it. But
it is believed he will, for the purpose
of retainining his position in the Cabl-
net, approve a veto ofthe suffrsgobill."

The Republican Union party of Virginia have
achieved triumph far eclipsng in the magnitude
Of It's results the partial success of the Conserva-
tves in some Of the Northern States. The "old
Dominion records her verdict in favor Of loyal re-
construction on the terms prescribed by Congress.
A more exciting contest has never been held in
the State We have never expressed an opinion as
70 the result because ws. feared the copperheads
might be successful OF the entire press Of Virgil
MIA, there were not more than half dozen support
ing the Radical ticket and these were but recently
established and had but few Subscribers The rebel
press were bitter unrelentng in their hostility
Nearly all the social power and wealth Of the State
were in favor Of the Conservatives. The Conser-
vative editors Of Virginia as in Tennessee during
the late canvass, called on those whites who en-
ployed colored men to discharge every one who
should vote for a Convention or for Republican
candidates thereto, yet nearly every colored man
voted this ticket and very few were frightened
from doing 60.
The Convention has been carried by over twelve
thousand majority, and a majority Of about twenty
Radicals elected 10 the Convention. The prepon-
deraHce Of whites over the blacks in the State is
more than 20, 900 men, Of whom not more than six
thousand disfrancised for rebellion by the recon-
struction laws Of Congress Every district that
had majority Of white and colored voters on its
registry has elected Radicals to the Convention
1t is matter for instruction that the counties which
gave the largest Radical majortiss are those which
have in oden time given the largest majorties for
the slave driving Democracy, when none but slave
holders and that class Of whites whom they owned
were voters Now that the colored men also vote,
they are strongholds Of Radicalism.
The Convention just elected viii frame Consti-
tuition, Republican in FORM win guarantee the equal
rights of man, and restore the Old Dominion to her
former rights in the sisterhood of States. Virginia
is to-day Radical State and will cast her vote in
the next Presidential election for the Radical
didate.

Eject Of the Ohio Election In Knoxville.

Ohio the copperherds were as much elated as a ma
jorty Of their party were when they heard the Yam

gave vent 70 their feelings by calling at midnight at
the private residence Of Mr. NJ Childress and rend-
ing the air with groans and curses beating tin pans
buckets, sc. Mr.. G. made himself obnoxious to
them BY bis ardent advocacy Of the Radical ticket
during the late canvass. Another party, young
men returning from serenade, when they knew
the Governor and every male member of his fami-

dence, cheering Justify for Andy johnson, and eX-
claiming 'd-n old Brownlow y
