The latest and most fantastic suggestion in

thusiast, who, ike all inventors and origlust-
ors of grand ideas, is now being heartily
laughed at in Europe for his pains. The
old plan with discoveries was to rack or
burn them; the new plan is to cover them
with ridicule. Perhaps in this case such
punishment is not ill-deserved. Our enthus-

wags who claim TO represcntseve
of thy Southern States in Congress,
by virtue Of some sort of an cleo
ton, are after putting money in
their purses as well as guard the
interests Of their constituents. An
attempt was made in the House of
Representatives on the 25th inst. to
secure pay for these members for
the full term of the fortieth Con
grcss. The resolution, az drawn,
included only the Arkansas Nom
bcrs, but was equally applicable to
all the rest. 1t recited the prece-
dents of the Louisiana and Tennes-
see members in the thirty seventh
Congress, when both States were
also represented in the Confederate
Congress, and the case Of the Ten
nessee members in the thirty-ninth
Congress, who were admitted du-
ring the second year Of the term,
but received pay for the full term.
After numerous motions, the House
evaded the responsibility of a di-
rect vote by referring it to the Re

IL ANDREW JOHNSON a DEMA.
GOGUE?

As the, in many respects, remark
able man who has been President
for four years past, is about to lay
down the seals of his great office,
and be one of the people again
and as it is generally believed that
he does not propose to be silent and
inactive, the following criticism on
his character and public career, ex-
tracted from the National Intetif-
gencer, may be proftably read by
that portion of the people among
whom he will probably first act
The comment is, in the main, just:
ANDREW johnson has been called a
demacocue. in one sense We accept the
definition for him. The legitimate mean
ing of the word "demagogue" we take to
bc-"from the people, or leader OF the
people" 1t is commonly used, we Know,
10 an offensive sense. But we cannot
consent TO apply this epithet in the latter
definition to the President, as one who
artfully and decoitfully seeks to lead the
people. We do not think that any fair
man who has read the State papers
which have emanated from Nh. johnson,
