unreasonable Demonstrations.

Agitation would die our if there were not
politicians wanting places. But these fellows
take care to feed and fan every fame IN the
present excitement they see only fine oppor-
tunity to make themselves conspicuous by dis
tinguished services to Congress ON the one
hand or to the President on the other, and
their chosen kind of service is the organization
of public demonstrations. 1t is known TO all
that the great substance of parties is made up
in great degree of what Horace Greeley, in
a letter to the Union League Club, calls "stupid
blockheads." Very respectable fellows are
your "stupid blockheads" in both parties.
They are men of backbone, with stiff shirt col
lars and sitter bank account Every one is
quite aware, for instance, how very respectable
the Union League Club is 1t is made up OF
"stupid blockheads" and nothing else.
All the very respectable organizations
OF the other side are made up of "stupid
blockheads" also, and among these the active
politician finds just now the great sphere OF
labor He knows the absolute nothingness
of his men perfectly well; but he knows alse
that their wealth or social position has given
their names certain influence with the public,
and the names only are what he wants. He
wants these to give dignity, effect, Importance
to his call for a great public meeting. We
have had presented to us one Of these "calls,"
proposing to bring out the people in support
of the President in great meeting at Cooper
Institute. In the number of the names OF
"stupid blockheads" signed to it we observed
those of Messrs James Gallatn, Josiah Macy.
Charles H. Marshall, Richard Schell and
William II. Appleton. Without accrediting
these men with any sagacity in politics.
supposng them only to possess that ordinary
sense that has enabled them to gain the
money they have acquired or keep that they
inherited-in virtue of that modicum of intel-
lectual light they ought to be able to per-
ceive that the meeting advocated can do only
harm. Demonstrations on one side can only
beget demonstrations on the other, and be-
tween the two the public mind will be run up
to that excited state in which alone there ia
danger What the country wants is calm
what Congress wants is excitement Only
under cover of the excitement made by the
removal of Stanton did Congress venture on
its extreme measure, and it will be playing
the radical game to keep the fever up. As tho
people cool the destructive programme is seen
in its true proportion and awakens popular
disgust Therefore, Messrs. "Stupid Block
heads" the best thing you can do is TO tend
your several shops and keep quiet.

THE STEAMSHIP IOWA.

Her Voyage from Glasgow to this Port.
The steamship Iowa, Of the Anchor line OF steamers,
arrived al this port oil Monday after tho remarkably
quick voyage OF twenty days from Glasgow. The
vessel under tho command Of man named Hedde-
rick left Glasgow 29th OF January last and soon
after leaving port very
ly gales After she bad been a few days the gales
increased in violence, accompanied by very heavy
seas, which lasted during tho entire voyage The
vessel IL is alleged. pitched and tossed in a frghtfuI
time fearful that she would be unable to weather tno
gales and that seemed TO have combined to
make the voyage as full OF danger possible, and
TO add TO their fears the sea smashed one Of
the others away. On arriving OF Movle the
gales OF such character that the officers.
evidently knowing what the steamer could and could
no. stand, considered IL absolutely necessary lay
until the gales aud high had somewhat subsidized.
The and sailors that the gales terri

The man VINO commanded her on the voyage, He'd

voyage OF the Iowa derived from the log for the pur

council at Washington when the bombsheil
rom the White House exploded in the war
Olice, had nothing 10 say in behalf OF Mr.
Johnson. The committee ignored him, ap-
pointed New York as the place for their Presi-
dental Convention and the GLORIOUS Fourth"
as the time, and then
They folded their tents like the Arabs.
And as silently stole away
The moral of all this is that the New York
democracy intend to fix the ant of Mr.. Pendle-
ton. Mr. Belmont, Mr.. Seymour, Mr. Corning,
Mr.. Comstock and Mr.. Cassidy have some
interest in those bonds, and Pendleton, like
Ben Butler, is too fast for them. But they have
done with Andrew Johnson. His placer OF
fat offices is worked out the democracy are
not responsible for his mistakes he is right in
this fight, but he is republican President any
how, and he may go. Verify, politicians, like
corporations, have no souls. All, yes after
all John Tyler was happy man, and even
Fillmore had good time compared with
Andrew Johnson. Like ST. Paul, when the
scales had fallen from his eyes, he can see at
last that he has been consorting with bad lot.
Like the poor traveller, robbed, stripped and
left wounded and helpless on the ground, Mr..
Johnson IS in need of good Samaritan. The
democratic Pharisees have passed by on the
other side, and the Ishmaelites are left to
finish him.
1t need not surprise him that he has been
squeezed like an orange and cast aside nor
will it be anything wonderful if General Grant,
after adroitly securing the inside track for the
Presidency, should find himself at Chicago
jostled aside by Mr.. Chase, and walked back
to the stable. Bat this change of horses will
depend upon the issue of the trial Of Andrew
| Johnson.

The Streets of New York.

The New York Yacht Club has capital
opportunity this season for creating scnsa-
ton When the ridges and mountain ranges
Of snow and CONCEALED mud that occupy the
middle of Broadway are well thawcd down,
and that thoroughfare is converted into river
or canal, there may be ample depth for our
gallant yachtmen holding their next regatta
there. Starting from.a stakeboat anchored
under the nondescript bridge near st. Pauls,
the oontcnding yachts can shape their cours g
northeriy toward Grace church, placing buoys
on those parts of the sidewalk which may
possibly be in shoal water. The stages should
be well provided with Ito preservers at pres
ent, and it might be profitable investment to
establish a Filth avenue or Blocker street line
Of !erryboats or few steam tugs instead of
the present mode Of. conveyance. One Of the
last sensations on this much ill-used thorough
fare is the appearance of a half-dozen men,
with pickaxes and brooms, working away at
The ridges of dirt that loom up on every block.
Mrs. Partington once cndeavored to keep back
the Atlantic with broom, and this band OF
six heroes are engaged in an equally laudable
and practicable enterprise. The appearance
OF terra .tirma on Broadway will be hailed by
thousands o. unfortunate pedestrians as q great
event. Mould |. be possible for Our municipal
authorities % import a sufficient number Of
those industrious little insects that build the
coral reefs in other seas for the purpose Of
elevating terra frma to the level, at least, of
the Broadway river? As for the Street-clean-
ing Department, it has long since ceased to be
a reality, and all inquiries after it are sent to
the Dead Letter Office.
