Please insert the following selection in the
Gazette. 1t is especially applicable to four
gentlemen and three ladies in Alexandria, land
there being many ladies and gentlemen in AL
exandria, it would, OF course, be impossible to
tell to whom reference is made, and it..it is TO
be hoped that they and all others, protesting
friends, will "read, mark, learn, and inwardly
digest. - CAIRO.
;. ,"Ne1yertalk disparagingly about your friends
you have any, even in joke. One sighting
word from supposed friend will do more dam
age in day than thousand enemies could do
in month. If you can't say good word for
friend don't say anything. More characters
are ruined by the poor fellow sort of talk, SO
common sw-a-days, than the worst. enemies a
poor fellow gould possibly have. The true
principle is: back up your friend, 10 word and
deed, or don call him one. - .~-

THE RADICAL PROGRAMME Edmunds
of Vermont, has introduced into the United
States Senate a new bill on impeachment,
which, if it can be carried through, will enable
Congress to get rid Of President johnson on
mere Indictment OF impeachment. The bill
substantially proposes that on the arralgnment
of civilofficer on articles of impeachment from
the House before the Senate, the party SO IN
dicted shall be suspended in the functions OF
his Office until the end Of the trial, and then, it
acquitted of the charges against him, he shall
be reinstated. The bill further provides for the
employment Of the army, if necessary, to Gu
force this aforesaid suspension. Now, as the
suspension Of Mr. johnson would be practical
" bis removal from Office, to the end of his
term this bill bill provides for all that is want
ed by the Radicals inhis case. With this and
the other Radical measures before the two
houses duly passed over the veto, the recon-
struction programme of Congress will en-
brace -55sfg ..e. il
/. The Tenure Of OAiue bill, the working OF
which we have seenain the reinstatement OF
Mr.. Stanton 10 the WAR Department by the
Senate over the Presidents objections to The
continuance of this man as member CT his
Cabinet. ~ 1.',4t.
2. The new Reconstruction BILL which makes
Gen. Grant Provisional Dictator over the ten
unreconstructed rebel States and wholly indie
pendent of the constitutional authority of the
President as Commander LII Chief Of the army.
3. The bill providing that the cOncurrenc: OF
two thirds Of the members of the Supreme
Court shall be necessary to invalidate law Of

This is an imposing schedule of revolutionary
measures. If passed into the form ct laws of

something still more revolutionary and startling
