E6y You must not believe eve rything

Ray You must not believe eve rything
you hear or see in the'papers now-a-
days, is hardly strict enough to get one
into the habit Of believing on ly what is
true. Observation-Disclosures reporting
par.icultrly-has become so unreliable
lately that the news clipper is as much
mistifed usually as the ordinary news
paper reader. We annex a paragraph
on subject on which there is as much
doubt as on any subject we have
ever heard ofand we shall begin to be-
lieve that there has not been a word of
truth uttered on the subject yet, and
that there is no such parsonage as MIR.
Frignet, or any agent of the Rotchchilds
in this country
"a good deal has been said in tho
public prints about the presence here OF
an agent OF the Rpthschilds to negotiate
for the national debt at four Fer cent
says the Washington kepublioaa, and
1t has been further stated that The said
| agent, Mr.. Frignet. had communicated
| directly with the President, and that he
received assurances of character that
would lead to the success of his mission
by any by. This statement is unfound
ed. There is the best authority for
| denying that the President has been in
correspondence with any person upon
the subject"

BA- 1t is said that Gen. Canby's re-
port on the charge of fraud and intim-
idatlon, at the recent election in Vir-
ginia, not only will show that the cleo
ton was one ofthe fairest ever held but
that there was less fraud and tswer at i.
tempts at intimidation than is common
at almost every election in the Northern
States. The charges of fraud wer. pre-
ferred chiefly by the leaders of the Rad
icals; but when put upon oath and
closely questioned they were unable to
substantiate them.

suspicion that they will ultimately fall
into the hands of the professional politi-

editor cautiously adds: ave would

ANDY JoHNsuN THE RADICAL
TERRoR.-The radical papers, says
the New York HeraH, Of August
l2'h, are terribly exercised at the
prospect of Andy Junnson's election
to the United States Senate. They
fear his trenchant logic, his outspok-
en-, clustering honesty, and, above
all, his ihvelerate hostility to the rad
ieal leaders, who were his bitter
enemies in the days OF impeachment.
Some Of them predict with undi.-
guiSel terrer that he will become "a
leader, and not a fnllrwer, in the
SENATE. Of course be will. john
son has nothing to follow except the
pscuhar views which made 50 mark
Ell chapter in the history of his de.
ciinIng days Of power These views
he has since ventilated on the stump
and will no doubt urge with sledse
hammer forte from his place 10 the
Senate. That be will go there the
results of the Tennessee election have
made almost fixed fact. Ii is no
wonder that Andy Johnson's pres.
ence in the Senate chamber should
be terror to the radicals but then
he is very likely 10 be sent there By
his fellow citizens fur all that. and We
hope he will. A little leayen of
Andy Johnson's spiei will do that
august body no harm. while hi.
wholesome ventilation Of manv pub.
lie questions, such as the limits of
legislative authority. the privileges
OF The Executive, the reality Of the
CONSTITUTION, to say nothing of the
fareicsl phases Of impeachment, will
undoubtedly prove verv interesting
ana Instructive to the people at large.
