ANDY JoHNsON.--Gndshiag Of Teeth

The radical papers are terribly exercis-
ed at the prospect of Andy Johuson's
election to the United States Senate.
They fear his trenchant logic, his out
spoken, clustering honesty, and, above
all, his inveterate hostility to the Radi-
cal leaders, who were his bitter enc
mics in the days of Impeachment
Some Of them predict with undisgnised
terror that he viii become "a leader
and not follower in the Senate. OF
course he will. Johnson has nothing
to follow except the peculiar views
which made SO marked u chapter in
the history of his declining days of
power. These views Inc has since
ventilated on the stump, and will no
doubt urge with siedgchammer force
from his place in the Senate: That he
will go there the results of the Ten

JOHNSON AND BUTLER AS SENATOR'S
Says the n. Y. Commercial Advertiser:
Ex-President johnson and General But
ler are said to be. respectively, intriguing
fur places in the United States Senate, and
with fair,proSpects of success. If their am
hition should be gratiticG, we may expect
lively times ahead. 1t is true they have
bnred the political Ratchet, under circum-
stances very cretltable to them. But it
is by no means certain that they Will not
dig it up again. Neither of these veteran
politicians is of a disposition to ''bear a
brother near the throne,,' and the two men
portunities for collision are likely to be
neither few nor unimproved. Both OF
them are impcrions and passionate, adj
lnirable debaters and gifted with unrival-
ed powers of hitting. Each is eompll-
ment of the other Without Butler The
Radical Senators would be pitifully de-
fenceless against johnson, and without
the latter they would be ridden rUugh-
shod by the former. Ii the Tennessee
Democracy should take up the cx-Presi-
dent, the principles of a common phi;ln-
thropy should induce the Massachusetts
Republicans to elect the Great impeachei
as IA sett-otf. Both of them must have a
nunsDhr of State secrets to ventilate, and
they can fight the battle OF impeachment
over again. If they get into the Senate
there will be such d washing Of dirty linen
as has never been seen before, even i'll the
stormy times OF Randolph, Calhoun and
old Bullion.
