The Rood Ovcst;oo

There is nothing new, we believe in the as
pect of the road question This week We pre-
sumo that the various districts will elect their
supervisors on Wednesday next, and that all
that is good. aud bad, ia the new system will
soou appear. The county commissioners have
surrendered all control over the roads and bridges,
and have this week been settling up the accounts
OF the supervisors.
We notice that writer in the Gazette of
Monday, in II labored article, attempts to bolster
up the new system, and in it fully reveals his
zeal in the cause, ifnot much knowledge Of the
wants and wishes OF the people. Living, as that
writer does, on The very confines OF the city,
with paved streets and avenues almost TO his very
door, and Having no business intercourse with
farmers, we can easily imagine that the condition
OF the roads of the county generally is Il matter
OF supreme indifference 10 him in fact that he
should desire that as much money AZ possible
might he spent where it would enhance tho value
OF his own property, no matter if the farmer OF
the upper end has to wade through mud up to
his wagon axles in hauling his produce 10 market
The use of the slang phrases ''Not for Joe, "you
"pays your money and you takes your choice, y
&C., may be convenient way for 3d." to bols-
ter up this new road system, but it will fail to
convince the people that it is an evil.
But then, discussion Of the question is Of No
use now. We are all aw-abding citizens, and
as this new road measure has been solemnly pro.
claimed law, of course we all yield to Its man
dates, and will make the best Of bad bargain.
The people have no chance to vote on its merits
on Wednesday next; if they had, Mr., "B,
would discover how unpopular his pei measure
really is. The time for discussion Of its features
and principles have not yet come when it does
we doubt not that its ''crrors'' and ''evils'' will
be very plainly pointed out. We cannot aver
what ''the intentions of The bill were, or whether
it was or not intended TO provide "olficcs" fol
"tarmers - but if any good was intended TO be
accomplished by it, then certainly, the work has
| been fcartuly bungled

President johnson.

1t is stated that this distinguished citizen has
Just ANNOUNCED decision" viz : that after
the fourth of March he will return TO Tennes
see, and, at the proper time, will be a-candi-
date for office. He has, we are all aware, been
"alderman of his native village, constable,
"Member of Congress, Senator Governor, Vice
president and President" fact of which he
has oft reminded us, and that he should con
tinue in Office seems necessary to his happ-
ness. 1t is chronic complaint with him.
Evan when the fires Of the fercest kind of re
bellion lit up his own State, and when, as d
matter Of convenience, he announced himself
as for the Union, he coupled such declaration
Of principle with the request that he should be
appointed Military Governor of TENNESSEE
He was appointed, and his happiness was com
plete. He disguised his real feelings and sym
pathes SO completely as to induce the people
of the country TO name him for and elect him
Vice President, and by the death of Lincoln
he was made President. His acts every one
knows, and now, when the days Of his official
course as President are drawing to a close, he
is anxiously nquiring" what next" He has
now, however, fixed upon his line of policy,
and wants to be Governor Of Tennessee. Poor
man, he does not know the depth of his own
degradation. He supposes that he will be trus
ted again by some party; but never was there
a greater error. He has so grossly deceived
the Republicans that they will never @dmi!
him into fellowship with their party again
and it is about the same way with the demo
Gratis. He has no party, no political friends Oh
hackers, and if he proposes to run as u candi
date for Governor of Tennessee ''on his own
shook" the result will satisfy him Of the dis
satisfaction of the people at his course.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE. The national women, in
convention assembled give notice to the country
that in claiming the ballot they do not overlook
the logical fact Of its being accompanied by the
right to be voted for There is another logical
fact which we fear they do overlook II is that
suffrage has duties as well as privileges We
should like to hear of their accepting the logical
fact that they ought not 10 demand the one and
shirk the other. II they want all the privileges
let them prepare for 4 the duties. Suffrage, or
the right to select our own officers and direct the
policy Of our government, is our pay for support
Ing the government and keeping up Its various
departments The ladies .iave too high sense
of justice and too exalted au opinion of their
own ability, not to concede the ''logical fact
that if they to have the same privileges as
men they must expect to pay the same price
therefor. This, OF course inoindea military serr
vice, joining the :slnStey ring presiding over
town meetings and making speeches for Smith,
Jenkins and Brown as the cnse may be.

GsAp We are glad that the success of
the corporators OF the Newark and
New York ship canal, in obtaining sub
scriptions to the capital sock of the
company, has led the corporators of the
canal company between this city and
the sound toroyivo the project for doing
the work, The creek, in its present
condition, is almost impossible for ves-
sells of any considerable burden, and
the deepening Of the stream by dredg-
ing, which is proposed by the Com
pany, would not only increase the IA
cilities for the transportation Of freight,
but would open an outlet for our. sew
ers, which is greatly needed. The
great advantages to the city which
promise to result upon the completion
of the project are apparent, and our
citizens arc anxious to have the scheme
pushed forward. Books of subscrip-
ton, it is stated, will soon be opened.

BeAp With no intention of Interfering
with church matters, we would never
theless like to inquire if the sections arc
beyond the power of reformation. We
do not refer to their squeaky boots, al
though we would like to know whysex-
tons always do have squealy boots. Is
it regulation adopted to arouse tho
sleepers ? What we want them to stop
is their abominable habit of tolling
their bells. The churchs service FISH t
funeral in its nature, but partakes OF
the most exalted description of cheer
fulness, so when the sections have finish
ed their solos they should join in a
grand chorus. There is much meaning
in the music of the bells their grand
pillows of sound float many soul into
harmonious thought. The tolling prQc-
tice is dismal and meaningless, although
dreadfully suggestive.

Begas The fact that there have been
so few sunstrokcs this summer, has
created some remark. But it is hardly
time for these "coups" Besides, the
political cauldrons for the fall election
have hardly yet commenced seething.
Wait until the consuming fires of a
nights heated orgies at a political eau
Gus, begin to operate upon mems
brains, in conjunction with the blazing
rays of old Sol at midday. Then look
out for sunstrokes. In the meantime,
we advise all politicians and wire-pull-
ers to keep their brains cool and their
heads level, and, if they go to the wa
tering places, let them adjure politics,
battle frequently, live temperately, and
not mix their liquors. They may then
come out fresh and in fine condition for
the fall campaign.

GsS~ Mrs. Reilingsheoverty, who lives
in the old tavern building, near the de
pot, was whipped by her husband,
John, last night, and as she was being
punished SO badly, she felt it her duty
to call officer Sullivan to her assistance.
The officer arrested the "wife-b heater .
and locked him up, but Mrs. Reilings-
heoverty, like u good wife, regretted
the incarceration Of John, and refused
this morning to prefer any complaint
against him. John indnlgos in this
little practice semi-occasionally, and
the Justice told him that repetition
of the case must not occur again. John
was fined for disturbing tho public
peace, and his wife made to pay the
shot, after which he was discharged.

a dividend of five per cent, free of tax,

ultimately to the Investment value Of

1t is so every year just about this time
