TIE Democrats are generally demand
ing the repeal of the laws which were
uassed by the Radical Congress stripping
the President Of all power to act indie
pendent Of that body. The Washing
ton correspondent Of the New York Tri-
b,gJc says " It is said that certain Dem
ocratic members intend to introduce a
bill for the restoration Of the full privi-
lcgcs Of the Presidency to Gen. Grant,
and it is believed that the Republicans
will anticipate them, and that an act
will pass in December TO take effect
from and after the fourth Of March,
which will give the new President the
full privileges of his office.

FLORIDA was model Of a reconstructed
State. There were no Rebels or "ku-
KIux Democrats" to interfere with the
working Of this loyal State government,
and so il was carried on for the benefit
Of the carpet-baggers and scalawags, until
they quarrcled among themselves. As
the thing now stands it is uncertain in
whom the authority Of the State is
lodged. The Legislature has impeached
the Governor, and deposed him so far as
the action of that body is concerned, but
he refuses to give up the office. The SUI
preme Court has been appealed to to de,
eide who is the State" and in the mean
time the trouble continues. 1t must be
confessed by Radicals that reconstruction
in Florida is failure.

ANDREW JOHNSON.

All eyes are turned now toward the |
rising sun. Politicians and place-hunters
of every degree, and of every political |
hue, unite in culgizing Grant as the in
coming President. It is natural, and, in
a certain sense, it is well. IF the man is
to be the President, let him be respected
as such by all who have their self-respect;
and let ofice-seekers and funkeys praise
him for pay and the smiles of faver he
has the power to bestow.
The National IntelligeRcer Of the
1lth instant, in the course of an article
retrospective Of the past four years, says:
And has not the time now arrived
when President Johnson's true position
is being understood by the great masses
of his countrymen? Has he any enemy
now so bitter as could even wish that his
fame should lie under the mountain Of
calumny that party rage has heaped upon
it? For the sake of our faith in the nobler
qualities which 90 so far to redeem even
the worst Of men, we would fam believe
that every day Of moderation will be a
day Of sunlight and justice in the hearts
Of all to the record Of President john
sons motives in his administration.
History will never forget that instead
Of counting the breath of agitation, which
must, ifhe had famed it, have carried
him per. force into a second term, he
preferred the patriotic labor Of justice,
Cancellation, and restoration, on the basis
of the Constitution Of the United States,
as he understood it, TO entertaining the
dogma-to which point Congress forced
him-or a dismembered UGiOn, Of the
Northern part OF which he, who swore
to be President Of the United States
was to consider himself only as the local
Civil Chief Magistrate. History Will
soon write down, even in the souls Of all
his late detractors, that a moro unseltish
and single-hearted statesman has not
lived in our day than is Andrew Johnson
And so far his party reward has beer
the recompense that awaits all public
men who have the courage to stand
and put position and power in The
way of a passionate and revolution
airy party before its force is spent
Against the absolute power OF
reSistless party President johnson ha
only opposed his powerless opinions AM
unanswerable arguments unanswerabl'
so far as these arguments are based oil
the Constitution of the United States
which, as its sworn Chief Magistrate, h
was bound to respect. The other view
Of the subject, outside Of the Constitu
ton which the late Mr.. Stevens though
justified by the necessity of the case, i
was impossible for the Chief Magistrat
ola united people, acting under a writer
Constitution, to entertain in time ofpeace
and when the sections Of both Of whicl
he is the solemn guardian, were appeal
ing for health and restoration. And 70
this discharge Of his duty, in his owl
blunt, resolute, fearless way, history vii
honor him long before those who have S
wRntonly miSjudged and prosecuted hin
haze reached that sober second thought
which, even in their judgments, will ye
DO him Justice.

TIE Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune says a prominent
member Of Congress who attended tie
session on the 10th inst. has already
prepared an amendment to the Constitu-
ton regulating suffrage throughout the
United States, which he will introduce
on the first day of the December session.
There seems little doubt that this
amendment will be adopted Ly Congress,
ana as the Legislatures Of two-thirds Of
the States are Republican, it Is thought
there will be no dificultyin securing the
ratification Of such an amendment

1t is reported that member of Cons
rress has prepared a bill which he will
introduce early in the session authorizing
the Secretary Of the Treasury to issue
small currency bond bearing 800 per
cent interest and convertible into green

Such a bond, if it were now in existence,
it is claimed would be the very thing to
relieve the present stringeney in the

Many of the articles are made entirely of one
piece of wrought iron, which, during the pro-
cess of manufacture, receives several cOatings
of block tin; this leaves a surface, when I'm
ished perfectly smooth, easily kept clean, and
entirely protected against rust. The cost is but
little more than common tin ware, and every
article will do ten times the service. The
shane enables US to pack the various sizes in

but a little heavier than tin ware, the cost of
transportation is very small. At present our
