The New York Herald wants Andy John
son in the Senate. 1t says: johnson
would be a valuable acquisition to the SEN
ate. He would make the fur fly from the
backs Of the Radical leaders and impeach-
ers as he made it fly from the tanks of the
Southern fire-eaters In 1S60-6l. He would
wake up the Conscript Fathers and keep
them dancing. We should have lively
time and a regular shaking up of the dry
bones of the Senate with Andy johnson on
the floor, and SO we hope he will be elected.
He is the man of all men for Senator from
Tennessee"
The Herald is right. johnson ought to
be returned. Whatever may have been his
political errors he is an honest man He
sought to protect the constitution against
the assaults of the Radical traitors, who in
revenge impeached him. Let him go back
where he may meet his foes face to face
And Tennessee will send him there.

The BOHEMIAN" GIRL.-The fact
was noted the other day that one of the
city papers had engaged young lady to
do its cattle market reports. O:her
journals in other cities, as we now see,
are taking the hint. A PhiladelPhia
paper has engaged lady to help report
meetings, sermons, etc, while another, in
Boston, takes charge of the fires, and
other miscellaneous out door work. Wo>
men not unfrequently "do" the dramatic

from these symptoms that the "Bohe-
