The New York Sun has this gossip abou
one ofthe United States Senators:
One of the doubtful Senators is Mr.. Ross
of kansas. Sometimes he is counted on ont
side, and sometimes on the other. But b.
himself says nothing. 1t seems, however
that he is particular friend of Miss Winnie
Ream, the sculptress, and that she is grea
and persuasive advocate for Mr.. Johnsoni
acquittal.
TEe Headquarters for wooden ware" il

itantsN WinchendOn, Massachusetts. One
of the w$pden ware kings is now putting VI
a priyateSer Residence at a cost of S75, geo
which is pretty steep for town of which
few people have ever heard. Winchendon
turns out" yearly over million dollars
worth of pals, washtubs, etc.
A stationary switch of great simplicity,
applicable to horse railroad turnouts, was
ance consists of an immova5le switch COM
bined with a raised guide block of the same
bevel at the side so arranged that guide
shoe upon the car, working between one of
the forward wheels and the block, instantly
throws the Car to the branch track. The
shoe, which is placed inside the wheel, is
attached to lever, dropped to the track by
the action of the drivers foot on approach
ing the switch, and raised again by ratchet
and chain upon the principle of brake.
The switch and block are in one piece, can
be laid down without disturbing the track,
and the combination costs sixty per cent
less than the movable switch, besides dis
pensing with the services Of a tender.
1t is not often that so much malignant
hate, sentimental folly, and impious bias
phemy is condensed into single paragraph
as is found in the following from Brick
Pomeroy's paper:
Do you blame us when we say that God
was Just in sendiug John Wilkes Booth, on
that dark Good Friday night, three years
ago-the darkest and gloomiest in American
history-to strike the traitor down and
liberate the white freemen of America from
the yoke of a despot? God is Just. He
struck the tyrant Lincoln from existence at
an hour when the country could no longer
bear the burden of him; and God, in his
wisdom, can not let the free people of
America, whom he has so protected and
prospered, long remain chatting under the
rule Of any despot. =
If Andrew johnson is acquitted his
naughty and superciliOus demeanor in the
past warns Us what we may expect during
the next ten months of his administration.
The laws will be superseded. The recon-
struction policy of Congress will be thwarted
at every possible point. The KuKlux
Klans and Copperhead associations will be
stimulated to fresh aggressions. We shall
have no longer a republican government,
but anarchy and wild confusion under a
self-eonstituted dictator, who is also hate
full demagogue.
1t can not be possible that there are Re-
publicans in the Senate who would infict
these miseries upon the country. With
one voice the loyal masses ard the
loyal press North and South de
mand that the guilty usurper shall
be removed. In the high court Of popular
opinion, the verdict of Condemnation is ut
tered with unmistakable emphasis. A con-
viction so universal is not based upon pref
udice, nor upon fallaciOus evidence. Il
has been influenced by such proofs as must
be overwhelming to every fair and impartial
mind. The Senators who resist these will
make themselves partners in the crimes of
the Executive, and must themselves answer
st a bar from which there is no appeal
