that if there are any counterfeiters still

! as The Cincinnati Commercial says it
is coincidence possibly worth notice, that
the last case of impeachment was that of
Judge Humphreys, of Tennessee, who was

we desire. The legal, institutional re-

way out of its political confusion and bust

gE General Grants father says, in the
New York Ledger, that although the Gen
eral has served long in the army, he was
never known to utter a profane word
was never known to utter an oath under
any circumstances The editor of the
Ledger adds that the Generals repugnance
to profanity will not prevent his taking
the oath of Office.
eY- A Democratic stump speaker at
Nashua, New Hampshire, the other day,
drew a flask of whisky from his pocket,
turned out glassful, and holding it up
before his appreciative audience, told them
that if Hartman was elected the tax on
that amount of the precious beverage
would be twenty-five cents The old-time
Democratic argument, and a clincher upon
his hearers, this.
gYr The pardon list, which has lately
been printed, shows that during the period
from the time when he was sworn into of
flee as President till the middle of last No
vember, Mr.. johnson pardoned exactly
one hundred persons for counterfeiting, or
for passing or being in possession Of coun-
terfeit money. Seventeen persons were
pardoned who had over four years each to
serve when released. asdf 4t
gY On the Oath ult, the Copperbead
M. G.. of the Newport, Kentucky, Dis

Ring the bells. Call out the people.
Sustain the President. Send on resolutions.
THOMAS L. JONES, M. G.
They "called out the people," and
elected a straight Republican ticketsthe
next day, report of which, let us hope,
was duly " sent on"
er 1t is well remembered in Washing
ton that Mr.. Lincoln had strong aversion
to Andrew johnson, and during the brief
term that elapsed between his second in
auguration and his murder, treated the
Vice-P President with marked GOODNESS, so
much so that when Johnson followed him
to City Point on his way to Richmond, he
in very decided manner declined sug-
gestion made to him to invite the Vice
President to dine with him. Only three
days before his death. at the end of long
interview with Mr.. johnson, he said Of
him: "That miserable man; cannot
anticipate the trouble he will cause me
during my second term" The trouble
thus wildly anticipated by Mr.. Lincoln
fell upon the country, and now promises
soon to be terminated by the process of i'm
Deachment
