OUR PRESIDENTIAL FAILURE.

Under this caption, WENDELL Phillips writes
as follows in the anti Slavery STANDARD: I: "What
have we for President? A jockey and seaside
lounger restless boy, needing constantly to be
amused, and so impatient of his business that he
cannot stay at his post more than week at a
time Five months in Office, he has not yot given
us an administration. The Presidency
must indeed be sinecure it, in such an hour as
this, man, bred in o camp and lanyard, can
discharge its duties three hundred miles from the
capitol, in the intervals of the race-coui'se, and
the half hours left after theatres and concerts.
Thus is GRANT slain in the house of his friends
WENDELL PHILLIPS with his giant intellect and
iron nerve, describes the failure and despises its
weakness. What must the President endure, with
the abuse and contumcly heaped upon him, du-
ring the three years and six months yet remaining
of his term of office? Only the fawning syco-
plants lingering about him for the sake Of office,
and the schcming politicians who seek to use him
for their own personal benefit, clingins to his
administration, while the people of the North
stand amazed at his folly and wrcched failures,
and the boldcst Republicans are dealing sharp in
vec;ives on every hand. Ridicued and despised
by his friends Gen. GRANT may expect 10 alien
ate the Northern masses by weakness and vacilla-
ton. His military fame engendered an enthus-
asm in his favor, and the necessities of the Rad-
cal party secured him the nomination for The Pres
idency Where will be the prestige of his military
career at the end of four years, marked by inefa-
BILE weakness and stupidity in the discharge of
high and responsible duties? His failure in civil
life must overshadow the easy successes of
military career founded upon doggcd persever-
ancc And in this wise will the horse Jockey and
smoking Caesar become deteriorated in the eyes Of
tickle populacc, until there be "none SC poor us
to do him reverence"
The Northern people may contemplate The blum
der committed by them in November last and
President GRANT may view the situation with un-
feigned serenity, but this much is ccrtain-the
true and legitimate South can we'll exclaim,
'Shake not thy CORY locks at me; thou c.nst not
say did it!'

A SINGULAR sronY.-The Washington CORES
pondent of the Baltimore Gazette furnishes that
paper with the following political rumor:
A singular story is running the rounds of politi-
cal circles here, growing, perhaps, out of the ex-
traordinary and otherwise unaccountabe tergi-
versaion of the President in turning suddenly
upon party he had just himself formed. 1t is to
the effect that the Boutwell, gang has promised in
consideration of Grants total abandonment of re-
election, to create for him o new military Office
higher than that of General" under some new
name to be hereafter invented, and to include COM
mand over both sea and land-thc salary to equal
at least that of President, to be paid in gold-and
to commence the instant his present office expires.
proviso, it is said, is to be added in plain words,
giving clear field to gifts and donations, and
Qualifications foreign or domestic. The only diff
Guilty in the way of carrying out the sipulatiOns
of this treaty, it would seem is the possibility that
Boutwell, may himself be defeated before the peo-
pie and Democratic House of Representatives
installed before the time allotted for exchanging
the ratifcatons,

IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO DEALERS.

The following extracts from the Act of July 90
1868, relate to tobacco dealers, and rs ignorance
of the law cannot be pleaded in defence where the
same is violated, it would be well for our mer-
chants TO make themselves familiar with the re-
quircments of the Act:
BY the provisions Of section 75 no lnanufac-
turcd tobacco can be sold, or offered for salc ex
cept it is put up in packages, us prescribed by

sale, from bis store house, wagon or any other
place, tobacco twisted by hand, or in any way pre-
pared for use without any machine or instrument
or without being pressed or sweetcned, said TO-
bacco not being sold or offered for sale from q
tax-paid wooden package, stamped and branded
for as required by law, the person so selling or
offering such tobacco for sale, subjects himself 10
n fine Of not less than $500, and to Imprisonment
for not less than six months. Tobacco cannot be
sold in any form except out Of a stamped wooden

THAT coMEr.-A correspondent of the Atlanta
IntclLqcncer furnishes the annexed information
concerning the appearance of the expected comet,
about which some Of our friends are exceedingly
dubious:
About two years since saw an extract from
IN English Journal which stated "that in the close
of the summer of 1869, large comet would make
its appearance second time" This fact took
note of. and short time since l saw piece IN
some journal stating that comet had Deeh seen
in the Northeast About the middle OF July last,
1 commenced watching the horizon at different
hours of the night, both in the Northwest and
Northeast, for the said comet, and up to the 10Th
instant had made no discovery, though heard
that it had been seen. l continued my observa-
tions until the morning Of the 18th instant when
at 3 o'clock, nearly due Northeast, discovered a
part of the tail of the comet low down in the hor-
zon, the light of which very faint, and Short
" disappeared Its tail had ten parts, and, upon
examination, find that ii is nearly like that one
seen in 1911, which, according to the observations
of the celebrated astronomer, Herschel, had
double tail, which was very faint when compared
with its main body. Shortly after the appearance
of this comet, this double tail vanished and
small tail issued from it, then vanished for short
time and then made its appearance again. The
estimate as 10 the length Of its tail is one hundred
millions of miles and its breadth fifteen millions
of miles | am satisfied, from the short time [
saw it, which was half al hour, that it is comet
of immense proportions and that it will not make
its appearance far above the horizon until late in
the fall when, at its rapid rate of travel, it will
begin TO show itself plainly. | nm inclined to be-
lieyc that it is very close TO the earth, and has
something to do with the intense heat We have had
for the past two months and at present.

Mr.. PEyDLEToNs LETTER OF ACoErTAScE.-
Hon. GEORGE II. PENDLEToN has accepted the
nomination for Governor of Ohio In his letter,
he compliments Gen. RosEcnASs and others who
were before the Convention, and concludes as fol-
lows:
Governor lays, in his speech at Wilmington,
forgot to alludc to the fifteenth amendment, and
We know not his views on that important question.
In discussing the finances lie said: we arc in the
midst Of profound peace, yet money is scarce and
business depressed JIG might have added that
employment is difficult 10 be obtained, labor badly
rewarded, industrial pursuits hampcrcd, enter
prising men engaged in business standing on The
verge Of bankruptcy, interests enormously high
the tariff oppressive, internal taxation unequal
most unjust and OncrOuS that dead capital IS cX-
cmpted, and active capital and labor weighed down.
Warming with the picture, he might also nave said
that for eight years the republican party had been
in absolute possession Of the government, that q
republican Secretary of the Treasury has now
control Of the money market of the country, and
that he uses his power only TO still further con-
tract the currency increase hard times, buy over
due bonds at $l20, which by law lie is entitled TO
Luy at par, thereby taking twenty dollars for
every hundred from the taxpayer and giving it to
the hondhollcr. The farmer, the merchant, aud
the manufacturer will ask why theac things are So
What tho cause what the remedy? They are i'm
portant questions for this fall. They touch demo-
Gratis and republicans alike; they rise above the
domain of mere partisan politics, and should be
considered with the calmest reason, the p'lrest mo-
tivcs, and the best judgment. In this spirit shall
discuss them as soon rs am able TO take part with
my friends in the activity Of the canvass. Of the
result in October we need have no fear"

VALUABLE PATENT TO A GEORGIAN. The
Atlanta Constitution has been shown pa
tent for non-vibrating propeller, granted
by the British Government to Captain
James a. Joyner, young man, born at
lIa(irnnge, Ga, whose father resides in At
lanta. From the description of it by the
Liverpool DAILY Post, we should think it
destined to supersede ali others rs the mo-
tive power in propelling vessels.
The Constitution says Captain Joyner's
history has been rather an eventfnl one
since the close of the war. He is now only
about twenty-six years of age Sixteen
mouths in the Confederate army, he was
subsequently, commissioned by Mr.. Davis
rs master of vessel in the volunteer navy.
Running the blockade in 1868, ho remained
in that service until the close of the war.
Next he took command, in 1866, of Liver
pool merchant vessel, and sailed to Cards,
m Wales, thence to South Africa. His YES
"el was then chartered for Hong Kong,
China. He then returned to Germany
from that to Holland, from Holland to Con
stantinople. In 1868, with arms. ho ran
the blockade in the Cretan war, loaded with
refugees, and was captured by Turkish
inan.of-war. After being released, he ira
veled through France, then went to Liver

OLuMBIA, s. C. :

The LAST ACT OF AMNESyY.-The with
drawal, on Thursday last. of the remaining
indictments, in the United States Court at
Richmond against Jefferson Davis, General
Lee and others, aud the discharge, by order
of the Court, of the securities on Mr.. Davis
bail bond from further responsibility, con-
summaries the benefcent net of amnesty
which President Johnson so appropriately
proclaimed on Christmay day. The gentle
men who went upon the bail bonds of Mr.
Davis, some of them leading members of
the Republican party, deserve to be rcmom-
bered for the moral courage, as we'll as hu-
manity, which such step ut that period
required, but they have already, in the short
time which has since elapsed, found public
opinion coming up to their position, and
even advancing so far in liberal direction
rs TO warrant the President in issuing q
proclamation releasing altogether from fur
5heF prosecution not only Mr. Davis, but all
engaged on the Confederate side in the late
civil war. This act of cemency and true
statesmanship will crown with serene lustre
the close of an administration which has
struggled earnestly to secure to the country
the Union and the Constitution, and has not
overlooked the most influential instrumen.
talty to that end, the cultivation of mutual
conciliation, forbearance and forgiveness
between the people of the various sections
of the republic. If Mr.. johnson has never
expressed in words the sentiment of Gen.
Grant, "Let us have peace" that has been
tie key to his whole policy-the animating
spirit of his administration to its last mo-
ment The fact that those who sought only
party perpetuity would not accept peace, is
no proof that Mr.. Johnson did not point
out the true way to attain it. Doubtless, as
the Baltimore Sun says. if his efforts for
this object had been seconded by Congress,
we should have had "peace" long ago. The
way to peace is to recognize and accept the
good dispositions of those who were once
estranged. Let who may be President,
peace" will never be obtained by any other
means.
