The suggestion of the Richmond I'm
QlCiTer that Andrew Johnson should
play the role Of Oliver Cromwell, and
disperse Congress at the point Of the
: sbayonet, is not 41asw one, and the. diff
dCuLttes IN the way Of Sucn summary
procedure are more numerous now
than when il was hrst propoed to his
ExceIlencY to gain immortality in that
fashion. The President then had not
the Secretary of War on the brain, and
had not quarreIed with the General of
the army, and in attempting to execute
such . scheme it IS not likely he would
have the concurrence of the one or the
cooperation of the other. Besides, il is
too late in the day for him to incur all
the risk which the enterprise involves.
Andrew is like the old physician of
New Jersey who paGhetically y represen-
ted the sands Of his life as nearly run
out. The day is far spent with him,
and the night is at hand. Twelve
months more and he will be Of no more
consequence than any private citizen.
For the little lease of power left him,
te would not pay to resort to the bayO-
net, any more than it vii. pay for Con-
gress to impeaeh him and try to Oust
him from Office. To be sure, the EgIq25i7'-
er SAYS it is probable he is doomed to ig-
uOmiuious defeat in his tussIe with
Congress !; but would il be worth while
for him to ''risk office, life, every thing, "
=
the Radicals now
Even if he thoughtit would, he is not
the man to undertake it. All along he
has been as hardly pressed as now, and
no doubt reVolved in his mind the
proposition which the Enquirer boldly
puts to him, but he never has been able
20 t'screw his courage to the sticking
point - and he never viii. He is like
General Mcclellan; he organizes vic
tory very well, but bis hesitation, his
timidity, have neutralized all the Rd-
vantages of organization, and the ex-
peditious plan of dissOlving Congress
and routing the Radicals has never been
carried Commercial.

?
To the U9aioa Men Of Ohio:
The State Central Committee having
issued its call for a State Convention,
to be held at Columbus, on the 4th OF
March next, a committee of the Union
members of the General Assembly have,
in brief address, advised the sending
Of large delegations on that day. OF The
loyal and patriotic people of Ohio.
Heartily concurring with, and in res
pOnse to such action, the Union Club
of Columbus, has instructed its Execu-
tive Committee to tender to their breth-
rem of the same political faith through
out the State, an invitation to come up
to the approaching Convention, without
regard to numbers, pledging that in
whatever force they may come, they
shall receive a hearty welcome, and
that all the hospitalities of the Union
citizens Of Columbus will be most
cheerfully rendered to them.
The growing interest and enthusiasm
now being manifested throughout the
land in the cause Of the great Union Re-
publican party, not only indicates the
coming Of a glorious triumph in the inn
pending political campaign, but renders
It certain that the Convention which is
to inaugnrate that campaign in Ohio
viii be of absorbing interest and of the
greatest Importance. The Union Club
Rooms, corner of High and State streets
VIII be open night and day during the
Convention, and on the day previous /;
and all in attendance who desire ac-
eommodattons are requested to report

This elevator has been built by the private en-

handle the grain he may ship by this route, and
such other as will pay him the usual cost for so
doing. II is aaoat on barge, aud will be placed
between the ship to be loaded and the barge to
be unloaded, and with system of bands or straps
with tin scoops fastened thereon, it will transfer
5000 bushels Of grain per hour from the barge to
the hold of the ship, or nearly one hundred tons
per hour. The engine that works this elevator
hes an eightinch cylinder with twenty inch
stroke, and consumes but little fuel Mr.. James

THE WAY TO PAY DEBTs.-Some wise finan-
cier teegrsphs from Washington that the adop-
tion Of Mr.. sherman's bill, assimatng the
coinage of the United States with that of France,
will save eighty millions OF the national debt.
The saving is TO be effected by reduction of
the American gold dollar to the value of the i've
franc piece-say about five per scent. How easy
1t would be, in this simple manner, to get rid Of
almost the whole of the debt. II to re1uce the
American gold dollar five per cent in value will save
eighty Millions we have only to reduce it fifty per
cent. and we save eight hundred millions. IL we
should reduce it ninety per cent We would save
nine-tentbs Of the debt. In other words, by the
simple expedient of calling dime a dollar, we
should owe only etenth Of what we now owe
and the public debt could thus be paid Of in two
or three years. The plan is not new, and that
seems to be its great defect. Governments have
frequently paid of their creditors in debased
currency; but, strange as it may appear, those
unreasonable creatures would grumble at this
method of settling with them, and even have gone
so far as to intimate that it was not exactly
honest. Not TO put too fine point on it, histo-
rians and political economists have stigmatized il
as barefaced swindle. However, we don't know
that il is any worse to call dime dollar. and t.
force creditor to take it for dollar than to cal
q piece of paper which only brings seventy cents
dollar and compel people to receive 1t as equiva.
lent to a dollar in the payment of debts due to
them.

will bear frequent repetition, without becoming

the Varieties stage during the week. II Is an ad-
mirsbe Irish drama, embracing many beautiful
and many amusing scenes. The fair, winding up
in a grand Donny brook fight, in which the Grace
and Purcell factions mngle in desperate conflict
of silleshs and brickbats, is the best scene of the
hind ever seen upon the stage, SURPRISING even
the barn-dOor jig in " Arrsh-na-Pogue."

Of Gouned, will be sung again to night. The per-
Torrance is an extraordinary one, and in honor OF
