Noticing the rumor that President John
son intended to resign and appeal to the
people, the Chicago Times says:
As to resignation and an appeal to the
people, Mr.. johnson should be politician
enough to know that there are but two poiti
cal parties in this country, one of which will
elect the next president, and that he cannot
be nominated for the Office by either of them.
He is not an available candidate There
have been great many distinguished men
in this country, with eminent claims upon
political parties and the nation, who looked
for elevation to the presidency, and have
been disappointed because they were not
available candidates. Mr.. Johnson must be
added to the list of those distinguished men.
when 1t ls remembered that all the great
men we have had In this country, save seven
teen, have not been presidents, Mr. johnson
should be able to contemplate the hopeless
ness of his chances TO be his own successor,
with happy contempt for popular opin-
ion.
As he is republican, he will not, oil
course, expect nomination from the de.
mocracy and the masses of his own party
are advocating the claims of Grant, Chase
Colfax, Butler, Sheridan, and others. while
his name Is not mentioned, except by the
New York Herald and few other disrenu.
table newspapers of the ruling party without
influence enough to secure a delegate from
single state.
Mr.. Johnson has made an obstinate, but
not very skilfull, fight against the canting
and rotten crew of demagogues and noodles
who are running the country straight to
the devil" For this he deserves the graft
tude of his countrymen. They wish howev.
er, to express it in some other way than
oy electing him president. If he wishes
stu further to place them under obligation,
he will tight the impeachers to the bitter
end. He cannot be convicted except by
partizanship and imposture SO palpable as
to make his judges execrable, and his assail.
ants acknowledge that his acquittal would
destroy the Jacobin party. If he falls. LET
him drag his enemies down with him. So
shall this country be rid of chief magistrate
more honest than discreet, and one of the
West and Ieanest political parties that ev-
er provoked God with blatant hypocricy. or
outraged republic with infamous lepisla.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
telegraphs from Iowa City as follows:

''While you are noticing democratic victories
and gains oil over the country, please publish,
for the benefit of the ''t-uty loI," that Iowa City
elected a democratic mayor, on March 2, by a
majority of 55,-a gain of 81 over last year and

Although no more Treasury stockjobbing
dispatches have been received from Washing
ton within the last three days the public indig
nation which they excited has by no means
subsidized. 1t Is generally known that until
within very short time past Mr.. McCulloch
looked forward to retaining his present Office
under General Grant, but hopes Of this no
longer exist, and the Secretary, as dernier
resort, is said to be intent on making a million
Of dollars, moro or less, before he leaves
the department. The semi-official press de-
spatches Of Friday, Saturday and Monday last
were therefore, there Is good reason TO believe,
part Of the stockjobbing scheme in which the
Treasury ring is engaged, with Mr.. McCulloch
at its head. This is not only q scandal to the
department, but a disgrace to the government,
and It's repetition ought to be punished by
the President by the suspension of his
stockjobbing Secretary of the Treasury. 1t Is
not the business OF the latter to attempt to
regulate Wall street by either bulling or bear
ing stocks, gold aud government securities, in
league with spectators, or trying to influence
the money market by resortng to expedients.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has no authority
under the law to initiate the currency, and 1t
was an abuse Of authority for him to threaten
to do so. aud. moreover. 1t Is in direct conflict

None OF the numerous sidewalks In the city have
been repaired so often and OF them to-day are
in such wretched and abominablc state OF neglect
and dilapidation as the the Broadway side Of
the City Hall Park. Can't our ''City Fathers" have
this disgrace remediedf
The nuisance OF "ticket speculators' that infests
the entrance to most OF metropolitan theatres is
being gradually abolished. To Woods Museum be-
longs the credit OF this needed reform, and other
places OF public amusement, II Is rumored are about
to follow the example OF their uptown neighbour
The young fops and peacocks OF fashion. who have
suddenly taken fancy TO wear peacock feathers In
the bandit hats which are now the rage, would be
less conspicuous would they but content themselves
with the hat and abendr without the feather. These
ninnics plume themselves Immensely upon their silly
appearance.
The proposed nibustering expedition to Cuba Is at
present the all-absorbing topic OF conversation In
this city among adventurous young men OF slender
prospects, VINO have nothing particular to do. To
such as may be inclined TO visit the 'Queen OF the
Anties" the recoections OF Nicaragua and the fate
OF General walker should be warning.

SALE or the PROPERTY or TIE BOSTON STEAMSHIP
COMPANY.

The great steamships Erie and Ontario which
were built little over year since by the newly
organized American Steamship Company OF Boston,
have recently been sold at private sale. Commodore
Vanderbilt was the purchaser, and the price paid
was far below their original cost and probably about
the amount OF the Indebtedness existing against the
steamship company. They were intended originally
to run between Boston and Liverpool but there was
not sufficient business to sustain them. Commodore
Vanderbilt, 1t rs said, win run them between the
Pacific coast and some foreign port.
