It's Commercial Effects.

Time enough has now elapsed since i'm
parchment was resolved upon by the
House, to give spectators, stock brokers,
merchants, manufacturers and all others
an opportunity of deciding how far their
interests will be affected by the removal
OF Andrew johnson and the state of the
markets for gold, produce and other arti-
Giles of traffic, is their answer to the blood
thirsty appeals which the Copperheads are
making. The country is not disturbed.
The assurance that Andrew johnson is
not necessity in the body polite, save as
a lesson and a warning; that he may be
quietly removed; that the threats of the
old fre.in-t he-rear men as to what they
will do then, poor things, are practically
harmless; and tba6 the country will go on
in calmer and better way after he is
shorn of his power,-this assurance is per-
feet; and the trade Of the day proves it.
In fact, we believe that there is profound
feeling among the masses of the people,
extending in many cases to the soberer
and more rational men Of the Copperhead
party, tnat the prosperity of the country
depends upon putting johnson away as
the cause of the disturbances by which
our countrymen are distracted. That he is
liar, mischiefmaker and plotter all
men have long known; and that to his
Vaccinations, which were little short of
reasonable, is due the fact that every
Southern State is not in the Union to-day,
each under a Constitution of its choice,
there is not the remotest doubt. AS the
whole of his official power was addressed
to the defeat of the first Congressional plan
of reconstruction, whereby all this tur-
MOL arose, so every movement that he has
since made has been only for the purpose
of making harmony and reorganization
impossible. In him the rebellion has been
perpetuated. To him the defeated and
beggared ruffians who assaulted the Gov
eminent with arms in 1861 have constantly
appealed for the comfort that their con-
sciences denied them, and for the aid that
their own deluded people would not rem
der; and he has been no niggard in what
ever he could do to relieve them. The
White House, since the day of his apostacy,
has been roosting place for all the I'M
clean birds of the rebellion; and the very
chambers in which Lincoln groaned in
agony over the perils of his country, have
often resounded with the drunken ribaldry
of reasonable wretches making merIy
over the endorsements of the great
cause of human rights for which Mr.. Lin
coin laid down his life. Had any scoun-
drel plan by which reconstruction could
be hindered or defeated; had any one a
plan for thwarting or annoying the repre-
sentatives of the people had any one a
scheme for keeping alive animosity, induc-
ing hate, impugning the national credit,
or preventing peace Pin the President
he found cordial ally and most efficient
helper That the removal ofsuch an agen-
cy Of mischief can have disastrous effect,
no sane man believes, Copperheadism

"A man, name unknown, fell dead in
the streets at Painsville, O., the other day.
He was blacksmith, and stated that he

or places.
"A citizen of Spencer, Missouri, made
his brother present of a suit of old

one being frozen to death in Louisiana.

An old lady in Newburyport recently
complained of her tax bill, saying that she

They told her she had better send on her
bank book. She did so, and found that
$3.50, deposited long years ago, had then
reached $1,750.
"A farmer residing in one of the coun-
ty towns not far from Detroit, recently
found in the woods near his place two
large dead bucks, and from all appearances
they had died in a terrible struggle for SUI
premacy. The skull and neck of one an
imal was broken, and the other it is pre-
sl1ned starved to death. The victorious
animal in the fight had got his antlers SO
interlocked with those of the other ami
NAL, as to preclude the possibility of his
getting away, and as there were no evil
dences of death being produced IN any
other manner, the superstition is that he
died of starvation. q.
