Truer Words Never Spoken.

The Ne,o York Times (be it ever remem-
bered that the Times is thoroughly partisan
Republican,, in the following utters words
as true as though Divinity had inspired
them: r..
"People are ready to believe almost any
thing OF Congress which can entertain
such measures as have lately been intro
duced." -
And Republican journals that feel it
their duty to thus represent the ungodly
acts of Congress, will yet, on all occasions
when elections are about to take place, be-
seech the people to vote the Republican
Ticket alleging as an inducement to do so,
that it won't do to elect Democrats. just
so long as the people vote to continue the
Republican party in power, just SO long
are they likely to have cause to believe al
most anything of: Gongress.FH II Congress

country, as well as that of their simmediatee
constituents. Colonel Mungen made quite
. creditable speech this week. He is al
ways ready with sharp question for the
Radicals. Judge Van Trump has made
quite aSreputation as an elegant speaker
and logician. His speech on the law OF
impeachment, made early In the session, is
beginning now, more than ever, to be ap-
preciated as the abiestt afgunent yon that
subject, and coming in play" just now
in anticipation of coming events. General
Morgan has worked as hard as any dray

keep his constituency Of two Thousand ma

sented by as unscrupulous demagogue as
ever lived. His contest will probably come
before the House during the coming week.

Of Patents, will not be confirmed, In which
case General John q. Cox, of the interior
Department, will be nominated and con-
firmed.. General Cox is from Quincy, Ill,
and served with credit on the staff of the
lamented General Mcpherson. General
Cox is now the Chief Clerk in the Interior
Department and has an enviable reputation
as an officer. The General, it is believed,
is, politically, a Conservative. Hon. s. s
Cox's confirmation, it is thought, will be
acted upon some time during the week

When the.D Democracy shall assemble in
National Convention to nominate candi-
date for the Presidency. it Is probable that
there will be rivalry between different
parts Of. the Union to see which shall press
the nomination of Hon. GBoRGR II. PEN
DLEToN-the Taxpayers candidate-with
the most zeal and enthusiasm. A strong
PENpLEfoN feeling is just developing it
self in Maine. The Bangor (Maine) Demo

ing unequivocally for the nominations Of
this distinguished son of Ohio, uses this
language :if7' .i4 8 5eigsa nHe
.sOne of, the most auspicious omens of
the times is the fact, that the Democracy
enters upon the present Presidential CAM
paign with little or-no dfscord in their
ranks either as to measures or men. Since
the refusal of the Hon. Horatio Seymour to
be candidate for the Presidency, all eyes
lin our party, from Maine to oCalitOrnia, and
from Oregon to Florida, have been turned
towards the distinguished young states
man of Ohio, the Hon. George H. Pendle-
ton. The great Conventions of the West
ern States which have recently declared for
him with unanimity unparalleled in the
history of politics, have by their action
given expression to the wishes and i'm
pulses of the Democratic masses OF the West
no more than to the earnest wishes and
strong impulses of the Democratic masses
of the East. In the great popular mind OF
the Democratic party of the country Mr..
Pendleton is already nominated as the STAN
dard bearer of the Democracy in the great
and decisive battle which is TO be fought at
the ballot box on the third day of next No
vember. Fs +ii5, tfiefs.tf .f+fr

Our wa.htnx,on Correspondent.

Two weeks ago our Washington cores
pondent, who enjoys opportunities superior
to most men of finding out what is going
on at Washington, wrote that the displace-
ment of President JOHNSON, under pretense
of impeachment, was seriously contem-
plated, and that the Radicals were working
to that end. At that time no one supposed
such thing possible; but no doubt now
remains on the subject. The Impeachers
are stronger than most persons imagine
Probably nothing will be done with it unyc
til after the New Hampshire and Connecti-
cut elections.

cidenfs.
The Radicals in Congress are as much as
possible guarding against political acci-
dents to their friends. Not certain that
they will succeed in electing their candi-
date to the Presidency in November, they
are so legislating as to put into and to keep
in Office their friends, even should the
Democratic candidate be elected and per-
mitted to take his seat. A bill has just
been passed through the Senate making it
necessary for all special Government
agents, whose salaries are over $1,000, to
have Senatorial confirmation. The bill
also makes the dismissal Of all the present
incumbents OF this description imperative
within 80 days after the bill shall have be-
come a law The latent purpose of this
bill is to secure the appointment and con-
firmation of Radicals and to protect them
against the political upheaving that is
about to take place. s9

party proposes to make the public burdens
lightest. Then zoe may giue it up at once. For
