Another Interview with the President
NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-The Worlds
Washington correspondent, in a per-
sonal interview with President John
son, yesterday, ELECTED the following
from the Executives: that as the Presi-
dent of the United States, he was bound
by oath to administer the Government
according to the Constitution. He had
In defending principle, found him.
self singularly opposed by another
branch OF the Government. But he
had faith in the good sense OF the peo-
pie, and a modification of sentiment
has ensued. The Radicals have made
Congress u political monstroSity, hRv-
ing oVerleaped all bounds, save those
of party and political ambition. They
now keep down the South to obtain
power more than equivalent to that
lost in the North. He then referred to
the effort made to connect him with the
assassination plot, and said the leaders
OF that movement are capable of en-
ploying any measure to get rid of him,
or shear away his power. The measure
OF Congress, he said, was Revolution
airy. The proposition to deprive by act
OF Congress the vested authority OF the
PRESIDENT, as Chief, is
direct violation of the Constitution.
The bill submitted by Mr.. Bingham
assumes right of Congress 10 do
away Win ku6 Ee6lueuL alIOReInef
It chooses, and makes itself executor as
we'll as legislator of the government.
The assumption Is dangerous and
destructive. If there had been a
liberal and generous law abiding senti-
ment predominant in the North, by this
time the South would have been almost
upon its legs again; the vanity of the
negroes would not have been SO fed to
bursting that labor, free labor, for their
old master should be neglected, shirked
and lost. There would have been no
military usurpation, but civil govern
ments in each State. ewRs convinced
that ifevery district commander in the
South should be changed to a depart
ment commander, with his duties con-
fined to assisting the civil authorities
TO preserve order, the civil govern
ments would be rapidly and peacefully
restored. In his Judgment the speedy
result OF this would be the reorganiza-
ton OF the whole country, but 1t ap-
pears as II Congress was determined
not to allow this happy contamination.
a revolution such as these headlong
spirits seem determined to precipitate,
may have, II suffered to go on, an effect
more damaging than the civil war.
In response to an intimation that he
was Understood to intend TO exercise
all the authority vested in him to repel
these revolutionary measures, the Pres
ident said he intended to do his duty;
as TO what that duty may involve, il
would be premature, he said, even to
suggest, but will leave special meas
uTes for special occasions when they
arise. l have confidence in the good
sense of the army, and believe in the
people; believe in the young men
they will not permit revolution to be
accomplished, even though it might
be necessary for the people to take the
matter into their hands,

The Columbus Gazette says:
"The Delaware, Ohio, Gazette has just

proprietors during its existence"
The Delaware Gazette is a familiar ac-
quAintance of the editor of this paper.
FOrty-one years ago last September we
entered the Gazette Office as an apprentice
to the printing business, with the late
Judge E. GriswOld and Harvey D. Little,
who were then editors and proprietors-
both Of whom have passed to another
world. After our apprenticeship we
worked in the office for a while, and then
became half proprietor of the office, but
finally sold our interest back to Judge
Griswold. The Gazette has always been
q Wing or Republican paper of the strict
est sect, il we except m interval Of two Of
three years after Judge Griswold sold tc
the late Geo. " Sharp; it then advocated
the policy of the Democratic party. With
the exception of this erratic interval, the
Gazette has always been firmly, politi
cally Rnd morally, right, and paying in
stitution. Among those who have beer
connected with the Gazette as editors anC
publishers the following are dead Hon
Z. Griswold, H d Little, Geo. W. Sharp
and d. 7. Fuller. Those still living are

Qua TURNPlKEs. During the winter,
but more especially this spring, for the
winter was dry, the people of this county
have had a good opportunity Of testing
the benefits of our new turnpikes. They
have stood Il 10 winter and spring rains as
well, and even better than was anticIpa.
ted, considering the fact that the grading
and graveling had not been accomplished
long enough before winter set in TO be-
come settled and compact. The following
will serve pretty well to illustrate the
value our people put upon these new
roads. During the wetest and muddiest
time this spring, we enquired of n gentle
man who lives some eight or nine miles
out on the prairie pike, and who phys a
very heavy tax for building these roads,
how Le liked them, and whether they
were much of an Improvement over the
the common or mud roads His quick re.
ply was that they were a very great i'm
proyement, and that be wouldnot do with
out the prairie pike for double the whole
amount of the taxes he had to pAyi and
