1MpEatA1 GovERNMENr-eEN. GRANT.

Republics change into Empires by n
very simple process. Cheap citizen
ship and debased franchise push into
power more and more demagogues,
property and intelligence cease to be
represented, the will of the ignorant
majority usurpas the place of law, pa
triotism perishes because there remains
in the country nothing worthy to be
loved or to be proud of, and the people,
weary of the base struggle in high
places for mere plumber, accept repose
at any cost. ~
We see in The profound apathy with
which the trial of Mr.. JOHNSON is re-
garded abundant proof that the people
Of this continent have forgotten the ma
ture of freedom and remember barely
the name. Perhaps they are not quite
ready for the trappings of Empire. 1t
is certain that they have accepted with
complacency the rule of the bay onet.-
Their chief anxiety is to make money
and have it secured to them. As for
the form of the government which shall
crafty their anxiety, that is not ma
terial. The pear of Imperialism will
soon ripen in the American hot-house.
Silent but watchful, the General G ON
manding has seen. bit to throw word in
the direction of the. Senate. He be-
lieves that the conviction of the priso-
ner at the bar of the High Court of I'M
.peachment is essential to the peace of
the country. This isneithcr mandate
nor menace. 1t is, however, some
thing more than an epiuion--it is an
expectation. '.The Commanding Gen.
eral expects" and it is for the Senate to
determine whether it will he needless
of that expectation
The journals of the Opposition have
endeavored to make much capital out
of the Commanding Generals seeming
ly premature utterance. This, ofcourse.
Every movement, however cautious, is
attended with some disturbance in the
surrounding medium. We cannot sup
pose, that the change of government,
now in progress, will be effected with
out noise. Brawlers will brawl.
1t it choose, the Senate may retracc
its steps. 1t may return to constitu-
tionalism. In that event, the trial OF
Mr.. JOHNSON must be decided by law
In ignoring the evidence and putting
the law, as thing obsolete, quietly
aside, the General Of the Armies but
follows the many presidents of the
Senate. Possibly it may be the plea
sure ofthe Senate to abdcate in favor
of the Irish Democrats and German
Radicals, from whose turbulence trou-
BILE is anticipated hereafter. In that
case, the bonds must take their chance
and the General await the opportunity
of positive and widespread commo-
tion.

ESCAPE OF A STATE PRISONER.


Private intelligence from F ort efter-
son, Dry Tortugas, states that the no.
torious Colonel Grenfel has escaped
from his prison, and left, III company
with some soldiers, for unknown parts.
1t will be remembered that Grenfel, who
was formerly an officer in the British
army, participated in the late war as a
colonel in the Confederate service, and
was sentenced to Imprisonment for life.
on conviction of conspiring with Others
to burn the cities of Chicago and Buiia-
10, and effect the release of the rebel
prisoners at Camp Douglas, Chicago
Grenfel is connected With an intiuen-
tial family in England; and Lord Stan
ley in 1864 80 exerted himself to secure
his release, but the guilt ofGrenfel was
SO apparent that his efforts were una
vailing.-Nete York Herald.

MOTHER NATURE OUTDONE.-A few
days since favorite feline belonging to
one Of the "household gods" of Mr. Field
man, who resides ON DeSoto, near Mon
roe street, became the "parient" Of a
litter new to catdom. The progeny
comprises seven, four of which are kit
tens, and three, marvellous As itmay APP
pear, rats. Both kittens and rats are Of
the usual size. Nine days not having
elapsed the eyes of the former are still
closed, but the latter are wide awake
and lively rs crickets. All play togeth-
er, rs though their ratships were verita-
BILE kittens, and are sucked at the same
time. Aunt Tabby bestows IA much at
tention on the rats as the little creatures
formed in her own image; and it is fair
to presume that the young Norwegians
imagine themselves tirst-class kittens.
This is the most practical illustration
brought to our knowledge of the lior
and the lamb lying down together. Mr.
Feldman is quite proud of this accession
to his household, and we hope will sue
coed in rearing the 'happy family tc
maturity. Such consumation vii
