the Dentist az a creature of diabolcal strain

New-York tribune., 1868-05-25

An Irish member of the English Parliament
on Friday night, gave notice that he would
propose to the Government the question If
" the health Of the Queen is such as TO detain
" Her Majesty from London, why do not the
Ministry advise abdication ?" The impeach-
ment of President Johnson by the representa-
tves OF the American people seems to awaken
revolutionary thoughts in Europe People be-
gin to inquire why their representatives
should be debarred from the right of at least
asking for the removal of soyereigns who do
not attend to their business. No wonder if
the organs of the Tories of England, of Louis
Napoleon, of the ex-King of Naples, and of
the Queen of Spain are indignant at our i'm
peachment trial and the Republican Congress.
New-York tribune., 1868-05-25

A dispatch from Omaha says that the Union
Pacific Railroad now reaches six hundred miles
west Of that place, and is in running order TO
point fifty miles beyond the highest ridge Of
the Rocky Mountains. The rapid construction
of this railroad is one of the most marvellous
feats in the chronicles Of engineering Nothing
like it in "railroading" was ever before ac-
complished. Sixty miles of track have been
completed since the Spring opened. and at this
rate nearly four hundred miles will have been
laid down before the end of the year, and the
great turnpike between the Atlantic and Pa
cific opened for travel next year, instead of in
1870, as promised. The enterprise and ability
of railroad management which has thus done
more than the stint scientific theory set for it,
cannot be questioned, and it is not surprising
to learn that, even with an uncOmpleted track.
the Union Pacific Railroad is paying hand
somely. The great interests which are eagerly
waiting for railroad connection between New
York and San Francisco may well be satisfied
with what these performances promise.
New-York tribune., 1868-05-25
TIE OPENING CANTASS.

The campaign opens brilliantly. The response
to Chicago shows that the Convention struck
the public heart. The record of Gen. Grant is
the most glorious chapter of our history
Whatever may be his politics. no citizen can be
insensble to Grants merits or the luster of his
name. In knowing Grant we know ourselves.
Like Tennysons great Duke. he stands before
us "great in saving cOmmOn-sense and
Gin simplicity sublime" The conquerOr
of Lee is hidden forth to conquer
Lees remaining allies; and as the can
vass deepens and ripens it will be found, we
think, that our candidate will win TO his
standard large part Of the party known as
"War Democrats" The leaders of the De-
mOcracy are sorely distressed for a candidate.
They have a dozen in training. Hancock is
kept on q fine piece of ground near Blair's
place, in the vicinity of Washington, and is in
the hands of company of veteran political
trainers They manage him as carefully as
Mr. CObun and Mr.. McCoOle are managed be-
fore entering the prize-ring. He is dieted, and
made to take long walks, and to look like a
statesman, and to sign abstruse letters,
which people are to presume he
writes. BY July he will be in trim.

We suggest that Gen. Sheridan capture Satan
tee the "bg Indian" who stole HancOcks
uniform coat, and send him East. All the
party wants is coat with gilt buttons, aud
Satantee will commend himself by his ancestry
at least to the tribes of Tammany Hall. In
the event of HancOck's failure we shall have
Mcclellan, or Pendleton, or one of the buried
members of the Adams family. Anybody to
beat Grant
1t will require somebody to make a respecta-
bic canvass The meeting at the Union League
shows the character of the men whose active
support Grant and COlfax command. We find
the representatives of the most conservative
interests of the Republic taking an active part
in the campaign. These men feel that the sue
cess of the Republican party means stable
government, Reconstruction, the healing Of the
wounds of war; generosity, justice amnesty to
the rcpentant and suffrage to the worthy.
They see how sadly and YEARLY the nation
drags its way under the infamous administra-
tion OF Andrew Johnson and they look to
Grant and Colfax to give us new life and vigor.
Our friends from Maine unto California are
warm with enthusiasm. Let the work begin at
once. Let this canvass be the most thorough
ever known The enemy will move heaven
and earth to take possession of Congress, or by

The poor passenger suddenly finds himself
in the possession of red-nOsed committee,

enters upon course of involuntary eating

longed lunch. No allowance is made for the
normal capacity Of his stomach. 1t is taken
for granted that he possesses supernatural pow
ers of absorption. He becomes an automatic

may be to influenza, he must ride bareheaded

of their choicest manufacture. After the pro-
cession there is more eating, more drinking,
more smoking, and then hand shaking almost
to dislocation. BY this time the hero is nearly
dead and the City Fathers are tolerably drunk.
The former sneaks off to his hotel and is

of footing the bills is next in order We en-

such ovations, for their own sake as well as

The English Government is faithfully ex-
.ecuting its promises with regard to Abyssinia.
The liberation of the captives being effected
they hasten to evacuate the country. Already
two regiments have embarked for Bombay, and
the remainder of the troops were to be shipped
as rapidly as possible. The campaign has un-
doubtedly been grand success and cannot fail
immensely to strengthen the rule of England
in India and other foreign colonies, and her
prestige with oil the still independent monarchs
of Asia and Africa, especially with the new
ruler of AbyssiOia.

When he declines to be made a lion of by
those expensive humbugs, the Fathers of City
Hall, he shows laudable degree of common
sense, for which he is entitled to the proper
modicum of credit and If he had only treated
the people who insisted upon running him for
the Presidency with similar wisdom, he
would at this moment stand much higher in
the estimation of the intelligent and discern

man who in the least values his own comfort
