mon mon ii the relation of debtor. An In
discriminate pressing Of claims is an I'M
possibility. The most that creditors de-
sire to do is to be placed (asMr. STEARSs
desires to Beg in poastion Of security, and
to know that they have their rights unim-
paired. That inspires confidence and In
duces adisposition to wait wherever there
is corresponding display Of sincerity and
faith on the part Of the debtor by the
proper employment Of the means at hand
to gradually reduce the debt.
! What man desires the finger of scorn to
be pointed at him ever for ruthlessly
breaking up the peace and destroying the
means of support Of an honest debtor
whose intentions were unquestionablef Or,
does any man suppose that the creditor
class-which all must admit Is highly intel
ligent and ssgacious-would bring general
wreck and ruin upon people oppressed
by monetary revulsion, or Calamity
such as we have sustained, by general
enforcement of claims, the destruction OF
values of every sort, and the general DIS
ruption of society," The supposition Is
monstrous; for the creditor class cannot
| save themselves in general ruin.
All this matter in the hands of the peo-
pie who have entered into contracts will be
infinitely better managed than if inter-
| fered with by the Legislature. What does
that interference doi It offends the
debtor class; and most reasonably So
They regard themselves as upjustly put
under condemnation before the world
without trial. They may 60 further, and
look upon the men who have had their
property as combining to bind their hands
by depriving them of their rights under
the Constitution. Of course from this
sentiment, this sense of wrong, born in
spirit of resentment, and probably re-
venge, which only awaits its opportunity
to be gratifed. Thus are matters made
worse for the debtor.
This sort of interference is a mere
species of demagoguism, as are all de-
vices to divide the people into classes.
Those who make the greatest noise about
them are rarely anything but demagogues
AID caring nothing about the people in
deed, only seek to use them by these
| tricks to promote their own aspirations for
Office and emolument. 1t will be observed
that in every instance when one of these
disturbers of the public peace seeks to
array one class against another he al
,oays supports the side Of the greatest num-
5erS.
The present stay law having outrageously
disturbed the otherwise fair and peaceful
| relations of debtor and creditor, its sudden
withdrawal might be characterized by some
increased disturbance. While we believe it
| would pass off without serious injury, still
the apprehension Of trouble might be a
specious argument for the prolongation of
the protection originally so entirely un-
necessary.

Mr. ,1ohnson,s Legal Remedy.

MT, JOQuSOA . AsSes~ - - ~
In the midst Of lawless strife mes
who enters the ring to fight his way with
tho Constitution and the Code would rare
little better than one who attempted 70
oppose bayonets with dagger o. ia'p.
There can probably be no "play" be-
.w;~, ar Johnson and Congress sufi-
GENTLY exciting, by its evenly and yigor-
ons,y contested nature, to enlist very gene
raj interest. Mr.. JoHNsoS's weapons are
no. of the kind to suit the times or make
the collision, at the present time at least,
doubtful. His resort is suggestive Of the
auecdote Of the Judge and young lawyer
who were recently conversing about ma
tional affairs. The Judge suggested q step
which the young lawyer pronounced with
much emphasis to be unconstitutional.
You remind me, says the Judge, Of the
children playing circus, when the real cir
Gus has gone long ago!
1t is probably Mr.. JoHNsoN's intention
to press the issue, and fall or die by the
law, ard thus, meeting defeat By the con.
gressional invasion and reputation of law,
to appeal to the people,. g., he will test
the issue Of the right Of his appointee to
the War Office before the courts, and
force Congress to respect the law or remove
him. Alas. We wish Mr.. JOHNSON had
better grounds for an appeal to the masses
If the Government is to be restored to
law and Constitution, the best sign of 1t
would be in the general rallyiDg of the
people to sustain him, and thus rebuke
Congress and the destroyers of public
liberty. But, with our impressions at the
present time, we should trust rather to an
appeal from the side sustained by power,
By military men and bayonets, than to one
from q powerless and evicted President.
The day has more the seeming of the day
of might-when might altogether ignores
right-than anything else; and we very
much apprehend that the time is not very
near when the nation will be guilty of any
such waywardness as to justify any one in
exclaiming, with Dame QUICKLY, go, that
Right should thus overcome Might"
The short and long of the matter is that
this nation is at the stage when admiration
for the victor, however unjust his cause, is
much stronger than sympathy for the de-
feated, however great may be his wrong.
If Mr.. JOHNSON had moved earlier, and
forcibly elected Congress from the capitol,
his chances for successful appeal to the
people would have been all the world to
nothing ....

aware of.
The sword used by the men is shaped
like an Irish sickle; and they fight Win

The letter-writers describe the English
army as presenting gay appearance, with
the red and black of the English and gay
colors of the Sinks, Punjaubs, Hillmen,
Mahrattas, Mussulmans, and Hindoos.

One of the English captives writing from
Magdala describes the country as fertile,
and the climate delicious. They have
every day fire at night and morning, and
for the satisfaction of those who may be
coming that way he declares that the
guina worm, 'that agonizing and disgusting
disease is as little known there as on the
banks of the Thames; but he admits that
the "tape worm" is there, which, however,
foreigners may avoid by not eating straw
becf"-that III be hard on the Englishman
This prisoner fears the dreadful THEo-
DoRE, who pins people to the ground, and
hopes that the British army will get ahead
of him (Which it will not). 1t may be
gathered from this enthusiastic prisoner,
vibrating between hope and fear, how it is
he probably got into trouble-viz., by too
much endeavoripg to reconstruct
other people. lie says:
"England has done, and is still doing,
under the good providence of a covenant
keeping God, much for the progress OF
civilization and true religion throughout
the universe and if she is in 1858 as
generous to enthralled Africa as she was
not many years ago, she may from the Al
pine heights of Ethiopia proclaim an act
of emancipation to this enslaved contl-
nent, which to the very verge of time will
cause the sable sons and daughters OF Ham
to call her blessed"
1t is to be regretted she does not relieve
somebody nearer home! Per contra, q
very sensible writer, estimating the trouble
and the cost, says very truly that England
is getting tired of following her wayward
subjects into Tartarian wilds and African
jungles. The Abyssinian expedition cost
last year ELS, 900, and will cost nearly
as much evey year it continues. He says:
81 think I can say that this will be the
last war England will embark in to save
travellers or missionaries. 1t will hence
forth be an understood thing, that if ira
weller or O missionary likes to trust himself
among savage nations, that he does so at
his own risk. A million per head is rather
high price for nation to have to pay for
the rescue of gentlemen who have, with
their eyes open, gone into the clutches OF a
barbarous chief"

habitable may be added to the British pos
sessions by the expenditure

STEARSs touching the suit recently decided
by the Supreme Court, and his disposition

the debtor class ought to be satisfied with

one on which both the creditor and debtor
may stand with safety, as being just to
both.
Our own opinion has always been ad-
verse to stay laws and homestead exemp.

fulflment is much better left to the PEG.
pie who make them. They can manage
them better than the Legislature, which
always oversteps the bounds of reason
and prudence when 1t undertakes to med.
die with this subject. Glass legislation il
especially abominable, and when Legis.
lature impeaches the intelligence and hu'
manity of the creditor class by depriving
them Of the remedies which, under the
organic law Of the body-politic, were ma.
turally accorded to them, they not only
iniict an outrage but a gross injury. 1t il
assumed that they are people whose fe.
rocity and greed are such that the balance

Nothing could be more unjust. In the

say that from what we know it is unbound
