CONSERVATIVE PIETY.-In Nashville On!
Sabbath week, an aged professor of religion

implored God to erterminate all people who
were Radicals. This hoary-headed old
reprobate calls himself Conservative, and
while he exhibits the rebel spirit of desiring
the determination of those who differ with
him in opinion, he Qike all other Conservs
tives) complains that the Radicals are VIII
dictive and blood-thirsty.
He'll is so full of such professors of religiM
that their feet are sticking out of the wiz

East Tennesseean clergyman in 1861, whG
ON learning that Maynard had goneto Wash.
ington to take his seat in Congress, publicly
prayed that God would never again permit
the traitorous feet oe Horace Maynard tO|

the prayer of a preacher in Nashville in 1861
that God would whiten the fields of Ten
nessee with the livers of Lincoln's invading
army" 1t is somewhat similar to the ez
preston of a Conservative of this city, who

The Political Situation at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Monday, Aug. 26.-That
Mr.. johnson has contemplated serious
trouble has been the firm conviction of Gen
Grant and Mr.. Stanton for many MONTHS
A dozen Senators can bear personal testimo-
ny to this. When Stanton was suspended,
Mr.. Johnson offered the place to Grant for
two reasons. If he accepted, the game was
to make it appear that the President had
the support and countenance of Grant. If
he declined, which was hoped then a man
ready and willing to do Mr.. Johnson's
bidding could be at once installed in
Stanton's place. But Grant has fought
rebels before, and over-matched them before
in strategy. So on this occasion he at once
occupied the position, to prevent the enemy
from gaining it, and, besides, filed such pro-
tests against the presidents course as will,
when the country sees them, strip the Presi-
dent bare of all seeming support from him.
Seeing himself checkmated if these papers
became known, Mr.. johnson tried his old
game of suppression, but this, too, has
failed, and Gen. Grant is to-day the only
man who has his hand upon the throat of
this would-be national assassin, and who
by the aid of loyal men, will hold him back
from his foul purposes.
For two weeks most have attributed the
Presidents acts to spasmodic ebullitions of
anger, but the belief that settled plan of
operations has been agreed upon is rapidly
gaining strength. Its purposes are thought
to be these: To defeat impeachment; to
hold on through the present term; to Or
ganize johnson party that shall uphold
him in all steps necessary to accomplish this,
even if the employment OF force should be
found requisite. Not only have these
threats of using force to protect the President
been freely made in the Administration
journals here, but the matter has been seri-
ously talked over by those who know the
secrets of the Presidents mind, so far as any
know them. Said one of these men, in
reply to question by friend of Mr.. John
son who had just arrived here, and asked:
What do you propose to gain by all these
changes, and especially by changing the
Cabinet % 1--WE are preparing for a con-
tingency." " What contingency 2" continued
the questioner; the President alone can't
remove, nor can he get any temporary ap-
pointments confirmed; he is powerless."
"Suppose in certain contingencies it
should become necessary to scatter Congress
next Winter, the President must have the
right kind of a Cabinet, and right men in
place everywhere" And this from a man
whose character and standing make it very
significant Correspondence Of the Cincinnati
Gazette.

WHAT Is NOT CHARrTY-It is not chari-
ty to give penny to the street mendicant of
whom nothing is known, while we haggle
with poor man out of employment for a
dime. 1t is not charity to bear down a
seamstress to starvation price to let her sit
in wet clothing sewing all day; to deduct
from her pitifll remuneration if the storm
delays her prompt arrival. 1t is not charity
to take poor relation into your family,
make her slave to all your whims, and taunt
her continually with her dependent situation.
1t is not charity to turn man out into the
streets with his family, because he cannot
pay his rent. 1t is not charity to exact the
.uttermost farthing from the widow and or
phan. 1t is not charity to give with a su
made you the rich human, of different blood
from the shivering recipient, whose only
crime IS that he is poor. 1t is not charity to
be an extortioner-not though you bestow
your aims be thousands.

A Word to the People.

Should Gov. Worth advise the people to
vote against Convention, he would be
turned out of office. That would be the
fate of any of his set, that might do the
same thing.
But Gov. Graham, holding no recognised
office, takes the bit in his own mouth and
goes against Convention at full gallop.
Now the Sentinel and all its followers in
office, who are the creatures of Gov. Gra-
ham, say that they agree with him privately,
but that they must go fora Convention nev-
ertheless. They reject Gov. Graham's ad-
vice. and hold on to their offices with Tidi-
culous tenacity. 1t Is cruel to desert their
leader in this dark hour, but somehow or
other they are obliged to do it. But had
they learned to reject unwhelesome advice
from Mr.. Graham a long while ago, they
would not have been compelled to do so at
last, and the State would now have been re-
stored to the Union. They would have been
better off, zoe would have been better off, and
that era of peace would have. begun, which
all of us so much desire.
When our loyal people are called on to
choose between military government, and
self government, we have no fear. The most
discordant element amongst US now is of
that class, which preferred suhjugation to re-
construction during the war, and still cher
ishes that preference.

RALEIGH & GAsToN RAILRoAD-We have
intended for some time to call the attention
of our readers to this admirably managed
road. Owing to a combination of the Roads
in which the State owns an interest, it is now
necessary that persons wishing to patroniZe
this road should order their goods to be
marked via r. & G. r. r.
A correspondent of tho Sentinel paws the
following deserved compliment to this Road
and its officers:
Messrs Editors For twenty years or
more, the Raleigh & CASTOR Railroad has
unquestionably been one of the best conduc-
ted Roads in the State.
1t has had fewer serious accidents than
any Road within my knowledge. Its en-
ployees, of all grades, have been uniformly
adapted men to their particular positions
that can be found anywhere. Its President,
DR.. w. J. Hawkins, has not his superior as a
Railroad man in the South, and Messrs.
Vass. Secretary and Treasurer, J. NJ Pool
Chief Clerk, and G. B. Allen, Chief Agent
all of whom have been connected with the
Road from the beginning, are scarcely
equalled in their departments. Its gentle
manly conductors have not found eXcelled
upon any Road 1 have travelled. Every eff
fort is made by them to accommodate travel
ers, and they spare no pains in doing it
Ladies are as safe and as carefully attended
to, by the conductors of this Road, as if at
companied by their fathers, husbands or
brothers.
Everything connected with the Road is
carefully supervised, promptly, by vigilant
officers. The Road is kept in fine running
condition, and is always up to time No
Incorporate man is retained on the Road.
As a freight carrier, no Road in the land
is preferable. Its running stock, engines
and efficient eng ineers, are equal to any
emergency or demand. Freight is not al
lowed to lie over and to be injured by ex-
posure at the depot. The word is FORWARD
nor is one customer preferred over another,
but all are treated alike, as at the mill first
come, first served" And one of the highest
Communications of the Road is, that all loss
es OF freight, at the risk of the Road, are
paid promptly, without vexatious delays or
law suits. Every public carrier should do
the same.
Farmers and merchants resi3ing conven-
lent to the Western (Extension) North Caro-
lima Railroad, or the North Carolina Rail-
road from Raleigh to Charlotte, or the Char
lotte and South Carolina Railroad from
Charlotte to Columbia, S. c., will always
find this line, by the Raleigh & CASTOR Rail-
road, to Petersburg, Norfolk, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York and Boston, one of
the cheapest, most expeditions and safest
routes in the country. Every farmer and
merchant, therefore, either sending to or
receiving freight from Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk or Peters
burg, should be careful on every box, bun
die, package, barrel or hogshead, to have
put, via r. & G. r. R.
Messrs. Editors, I am not interested dol
lar in any Railroad, but I admire prompt
ness sobriety, energy, skill and the spirit of
accommodation, which have witnessed for
many years on the Raleigh s. CASTOR Rail-
road, which alone prompt me to commend
this Road to every traveller and shipper, con-
venient to this route.

THE CANADIAN GOLD MINEs.-The Mad
oc gold mines, located in Hastings county,
Canada West, are yielding large quantities
of the precious metal. The property was
used for farming purposes up till the begin
ming of last year, when the presence OF the
metal becoming known, a party of shrewd
Chicago gentlemen became purchasers OF the
tract. The Canadians, learning the immense
value of the mines, endeavored by armed
mob to drive the Chicago Yankees" out of
their possession, and as the claims of the
latter were not indisputable, owing to the
compromise was effected by forming joint
stock company to work the mines, the Chi
cagoans retaining a controlling interest,"
The gold is the richest ever discovered, and
is said to exist in large quantities.
