" Though this seems to Us a very unneces-
sary and even deplorable act on the part Of
the President, We do not anticipate from it
such serious results as seem to have alarmed
the minds of many persons at Washington.

pOsure, resolved onl 10 stand by the country

The Press on the Situation.
From the Ne,r York TriB,fue


1t is hardly worth while to consider tech
nicalities relative TO the orders of Presi-
dent who is capable of making any order
that his passions dictate.
1t is hardly conceivable that
the President could, in his precarious tenure
of his own Office, design to order the election
of Mr.. Stanton by armed force, or that such
an order would be obeyed by Gen Grant if
he issued it. Failing in obtaining physical
possession Of the Office, the Presidents order
would merely refer Mr.. Thomas to his legal
proceedings. That Mr.. johnson should 90 to
so much pains to butt once more against a
stone wall would seem remarkable were it
not that it is exactly what he has been doing
ever since he has been in office. As a politi-
cal dodge 1t is easy to see Mr.. JOhnson's mo-
tive. The magnates of the Democratic party
are now assembled in Washington 10 fix the
time and place and to a great degree the can
didate of the next Democratic National Con-
vention. 1t is quite in accordance with An
drew Johmson's grade of political cunning to
desire at such time to make an impression
on these gentlemen. They are buzzing around
the White House, and would delight in anv
c0up d'etdf that would make either \ j. |
available as Caesar, or get him off their |
hands altogether. But Mr.. johnson will |
achieve no comp d etat. Nature, in denying |
him the courage proportioned to his vanity,
has made him proof against great crime. His
orte lies entirely in peecadilloes. When
congress concludes to impeach him for petty
it will find plenty Of them
But if it waits for high crimes, he will serve
'ut his term in ieverish peacefulness, and
mpty feints.

MARROW EscAPE.-A private letter
states that Ben. Truman, formerly resident
in this city, while taking an evening ride
in the neighborhood of San Francisco, CAL
iiornia, had Gilpin race behind a couple
of frightened horses. After a ride of three
miles at a frightfnl pace, during which the
harness and vehicle were nearly destroyed,
he was thrown from the wreck. He sus-
tanned very severe bruise on the forehead,
broke one of the bones of the palm and two
fingers of his right hand. His wounds
were dressed by one of the surgeons in the
neighbOrhood, and a few weeks will restore
him TO health again.
THROUGH Rugg & Dawson, of this city,
we have received from the Columbus, Ohio
Brush and Wirework Company, a lye
brush of superior quality. The bristles
being secured by copper wire, it is durable,
standing use in all sorts Of water better
than any other brush made.

A great change is going on Ia the public
men. The mass of the Republican party
are more thoughtful, temperate and Just
than they were during the excitement
which attended the progress and close of
the civil war, as the energy of the Demo-
cratic party springs from their devotion to
their cause and TO their candidates. / may
with propriety speak of the fact that never
inthe political history Of the country has the
action Of any like body been hailed with
snch universal and real enthusiasm as that
which has been shown in relation TO the
position of the National Democratic Con-
vention. He concludes as follows: l can
not doubt we shall gain political triumph
which will restore our Union bring back
peace to our land, and give us once more
the blessings of wise, economical and
honest government.

The New York Times of the 81 inst,
says of the prospects for the fall trade;
It's conceded on all hands that the
spring trade was very satisfactory in all
parts Of the country. Accounts of stock
which have been completed for the half
year and the reckoning which accompanies
this duty, following an unfavorable season,
show that n corner has been turned. The
fall trade has commenced with moderate
activity, and in eight or ten days merchants
will be very busy, although in the year of
a Presidential election it is found that buy
ers make their purchases with more cir
cumspection than in ordinary years.
Stocks are known not to be az heavy as
they were last year, either of imported or
of domestic goods, and it 10 not probable
that any diminution in price will take
place until the time arrives for clearing out
whatever surplus of particular styles Hay
remain. The quantity of raw cotton at the
ports of the United States, on the 28th of
July last, was estimated at about $4,000
bales, of good, bad and mediterranean
sufficient to allow of any surplus Of manu-
featured goods The upward turn of the
cotton market on Saturday, indicates that
it is difficult to obtain good article, suit
able for purposes Of manufacture, out Of
this residue.
Although our importatiOns are higher
than were those of last year, they yet ex-
coed our exports. The balance on this &C
count for several years past has been met
by the sale Of our bonds in Europe. The
necessity for part Of this large importation
arose from the disturbed state of domestic
industry during the war, particularly in
the South, but the large crops Of grain
which have already been harvested there,
and the favorable indications az TO corn,
promise for that region the strength which,
with reasonable cotton crop, will enable
il to meet its share of that excess Of I'M
ports for this year, with sufficient exports.
Probably at no time have the crops Of the
whole Union afforded better promise Of
abundance and excellence, nor have there
been stronger indications Of large foreign
demand. The Imperial decree admitting
cereals into France free Of tonnage duty
for three months from the lat Of October
next, shows that the drought which has
been 80 serious in England has Tapped over
| upon the Continent 10 some extent and
produced an unusual necessity for food,
which this country can easily supply, II
nothing unfavorable shall occur az the sea
son advances. We are now sending, and
must continue to send, cheese, butter, lard,
grease, bacon, corn, clover seed, and even
oilcake and hay to make up for the loss
from the dried pastures Of England. lie
