PRESIDENT JoHNsoN.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the PhiladeI-
phia Inquirer says Of Johnson
He is not plausible in manner, not
affectionate, not surly, not anything
remarkable good or bad. His dress
is mediocre his face is average, his
language is ordinary. You see in him
nothing that surprises. A dreary type
of man is he, without genius or char
acteristics. If he gets drunk, he gets
drunk without enjoyment; he gets So
Der without regret. He gets power
without a chuckle. He knows no an,
ecdotes. He plays no game. He
never goes to the theatre. Politics is
his business, and he sticks to it in q
logged way. He is not either a mon
ster OF wickedness. His appetites are
not violent. His wrath it not revenge
full. He keeps out of debt. He does
not resent newspaper attacks. He is
not discOurteous. There is only ne
pathos in his nature. You try in vail
to recollect him; to nickname him !; tt
individualize him. He is not suav,
as James Buchanan, nor hOspitable a
Frank Pierce few of his equals low,
him. He is often fond of his interiors
but they never rise to be his friends
Yet this man, thus episodically barrel
of characteristics, becomes, when yo
have watched him two or three years
very subtle type Of character.
treacherous pertinacity Of purpose, a
uneasy determination, an implacabl
vanity for winning, have made hi
life eminent in its success and of e2
traordinary influence upon the couI
try.

On Lake Michigan, at Chicago, dur
ing the late frost the ice reached down
to the bottom Of the lake, as is shown
by the fact that when it broke up and
large cakes turned over there were
seen upon them huge rocks weighing
hundreds Of pounds which had frozen
in and been drawn from their resting
places in the ooze below.

WINTER WHEAT IN ILLINOIS. The
Springfield Qll.) Journal says 1--WE
have fine accounts of the winter wheat
throughout Sangamon and the adioin-
ing counties. We are informed by
those who have been out through the
country that the prospect never look
ed better. The snow and steady cold
weather of the winter kept it protect
ed, and now it shows itself firmly SET
and in good condition. Many wheat
fields are already green"

imbued with the spirit of their work.
In all the districts do we want such
teachers, the smaller as well as the
larger districts. 1t may be that in
that back school with its eight or ten
pupils, is the future pres. of the Uni
ted States. Dare you say cheap
teacher will answer just as well for
that school? But it is not enough
that good teacher be secured, he
must be sustained.
Many of our really good instruc-
tors fail in government often for want
Of support from the parents. Shall
teachers especially females continue
to feel On entering school that they
are to compare their physical strength
with those whose years bespeak man.
hood and womanhood? The time
when corporeal punishment was in
vogue in the navy, but advancing
civilization has obliterated this relic
of barbarism. Why not let its genial
rays into the schoolroom When
public sentiment shall demand the
abolition of corporal punishment IN
the school room and its necessity
shall be obviated by tie scholars con-
tinuance at school being made de-
pendent on his good behavior, then
shall we have annihilated one of the
the greatest obstacles to good schools.
But so long as one or two of the
scholars are allowed to crafty their
malicious propensities in disturbing
the school one half of the money eX-
pended for the school will be thrown
away. This will bring the govern
ment the school In great measure
into the hands of the committee where
it now legally and properly belongs.
There is woful dereliction on the
part Of committees. If we employ
an agent to invest few hundred dol
lars we expect him to take all neceS-
sary pains to make the outlay pro.
fitable one to us. But the school
committees dispose Of the district s
money without regard to the manner
of its expenditure.
He employees the cheapest teacher
he can get, puts him into the school
room and at the end of the term pays
him the stipulated sum, without once
having entered the school to see if
any of the appurtenances necessary
to a good school are wanting, or tC
, ascertain whether the teacher is {
benefit to the district or a positive
injury. This may be modern kline
of honesty, but it is not the kind of
honesty the districts should demand
of their committees.
This is not an overdrawn illustra
ton. have seen it more than verif

5 schools is the admission of the highe

/ classes to such an extent that tn
smaller scholars are necessarily NEG

A casual look into the affairs Of the
Willamette Woolen Mfg. Co, recently
made, has given us n little new light into
the WOODEN trade and manufacture of the
country. The w. w. Mfg. Co. have
bought about 800, 900 pounds Of wool the
present season. A part of this has been
done through other parties, but IL Las
been mainly done directly through the
Conpany's Office. The Company expect
to build their trade up to 400 900 pounds
OF wool this year. This is about tho
amount of their annual consumption.
They use from %, 900 to $4,000 pounds
per month, according TO the Aneness Of
material they are working upon.
They now run all the machinery they
have, in daylight, and spinning jacks are
run at night extra. The new machinery
that was lately received from the East il
all put up and running, except one jack
which will be In operation probably the
last of this week. Several very impor
tant improvements have been added tc
that lately received, and all remark the
superior finish and the beautiful manner
in which the goods are turned out.
In the basement arc several important
improvements in the fulling department
aud the convenience Of finishing up tho
work in this heretofore crowded room
This mill viii now compare with, if no
excel any on the coast. The new addi
ton on the width OF. the old building
and the whitcwashing Of the ceiling o.
the entire Mill, causes more light ant
gives u new appearance TO everything
connected Herewith, and must be a sub
ject of pride to that enterprising com
pauy. One hundred persons arc cm
ployed by the company 10 various capac

per day and the usual disbursement 70

The following letter from Blair to
the Democratic Convention, will re-
ceive the endorsement of every gen.
uine Democratic voter in the Union !:
There is but one way to restore the
Government and the Constitution,
and that is for the President elect to
declare the Reconstruction Acts null
and void, compel the army to undo
its usurpations ut the South, disperse
the " carpet-bag" State governments,
allow the white people TO rcorganize
their own governments, and elect Sen
ators and Representatives. The House
of Representatives will contain n
majority of democrats from the North,
and they will admit the Representa-
tiyes elected by the white people OF
the South and with the cooperation
of the South and with the co-opcra-
ton of the President, it will not be
difficult to compel the Senate 10 sub
nit once more to the obligations oil
the Constitution. 1t will not be able
to withstand the public judgment il
distinctly invoked and clearly ex.
