Johnson and Black.

The Radical Washington correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette, in his
letter of the 23d inst, gives the following
explanation in regard to the withdrawal
of Judge Black from the counsel of the
President in the impeachment trial:
at is known that Judge Black urged
the President to resign, and that his
advice in this matter reached the verge
of an open rupture. There were also
other points Of marked difference be-
tween them as to the line of defense, and
as these could not be satisfactorily ar
ranged, Mr.. Black refused to act. The
withdrawal of Mr.. Black is considered as
most favorable to the trial continuing
to the end without the least inter
ruption from violence, as MIR. Blacks
advice has long been of character
which, If followed, would almost certain
" lead to trouble 1t is further known
that Mr.. Black has been on the point of
breaking with the President for some
months, because the latter would not
send war steamer of the government
to take possession of some guano island
in the Pacific for the benefit of Blacks
clients, and where the fee is said to
amount to half million.
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier refers to the matter
in his dispatch of the Oath inst, as fol-
lows:
Judge Black emphatically contra
diets the statement sent West about his
declining to appear as counsel for the
President. 1t grows out of controversy
between Black and Seward, respecting q
claim of Blacks clients to the guano is
lard of Alta Villa. The President, after
admitting the right of Blacks clients,
was so overawed by Seward, that
he would make no order in the case
either for or against them. Judge
Black declares the President, by taking
sides with Seward, put it out of his power
to serve him as counsel, though he
firmly believes in the justice and law of
the Presidents defense. He does not
retire from the cause for want of conf
dence in the defense, nor in conse-
quence Of ill-feeling toward the Presi-
dent, nor because of any difference with
the counsel. There was sharp corre-
spondence between the President and
Judge Black. Mr.. Stewards extraordi-
nary conduct creates the impress
sion that he is in league with the
robbers whom he protects, and it is prob.
able resolution Of investigation will be
introduced in the House Moreover, it
Is said, we're it not so late, this matter
would form an additional article of i'm
peachment.' This may have been the
reason for Blacks Withdrawing, which
was done last week. Thad Stevens, But
Ter, Bingham and others indorso this
claim, and several Of them assert
Seward is guilty Of malfeasance in office
and should be impsached.

Cold Dollars for tho Boriho'iirc frif'o-
Gratis. and Rag Dollara ior the People
A dollar is a metallic substance Of real
yalue-nota promise on piece Of pa
per; therefore, when the Government
promises TO pay ono thousand dollars, il
engages 10 pay actual dollars : not
premises, but dollars. These dollars
ars made Of gold and silver. Boston
Post
Ali that was "under the republic"
Things have been arranged differently
"under the empire" Democrats have
ever contended that there was no true
dollar but gold or silver one, but radi-
calism, through its Rump Congress, has
enacted~ that greenback promise
TO pay atgold or silver dollar, is dol
lar" and must be takene as such
by peopleto whom debts are due. The
"greenback >" has been made legal ten
der by radical law. and the courts, as
reconstructed by radicalism, have de-
cided that such law is good law. Then,
when the government promised TO pay
the principal of the $40 bonds in
dollars, it meant greenback dol.
lars, aud when the same law provided
for the payment of the interest on such
bonds, it speciiicslly-in terms-says
that such interest shall be paid in coin.
Thus, in the statute providing for the
5 20 loan, the distinction between the
principal and interest is clearly made
the first to be paid in Radical dollars,
and the last in Democratic dollars.
Such is the bond.-Sprinafeld Demo

The New York Herald concludes a

Whatever may be Mr.. Johnson's line

is the test Of party fidelity in the

The Conspiracy Case-Pr0ceedihgs OF

Stolen.


NEW YORK, September 25.-Rol-
Tins, of the alleged conspiracy case.
was again up before the United States
Commissioner to-day, and two or
three witnesses were examined, but
nothing of Importance was elicted.
The Labor Congress to day was oe-
cupied in discussion of the platform
offered at last evenings session. Al
ter considerable discussion, the clause
depreciating voting was stricken out.
Exception was taken to the financial
plank in the platform, and the none
tary system was discussed till ad-
journment The discussion was re-
sumed at the afternoon session, but
was finally adopted, recognizing the
right of workirgmen and working
women of the nation to strike when
all other just and equitable conces
sions are refused.
A box containing about s., 900 in
English coins was stolen from Dun
can a. Sherland's banking house
to-day, while the attention of the
owner was momentarily attracted Ia
another direction. The man was
seen to take the box by several per-
sons and departwith it, they suppos-
ing it was all right.
