Take Him Home.

Why will not Mr.. Andrew Johnson's friends,
if he has any, take him home, and amuse him
there? Awhile ago the unfortunate old man
rushed through Tennessee like roaring hon,
breathing threatening and Slaughter and we be-
lieve he really scared the Tennesseeans. At any
rate they fled at his approach, to that degree
that the poor man found the railway stations
nearly deserted, where he fondly expected
crowds would meet him.
And now he has returned to Washington,
where he is amusing idlers and street boys by
his incoherent abuse of everybody except Mr..
Andrew johnson. "The times are out of Joint"
country is going to the demnition bow-wows
We are all to be enslaved. Liberty has fed from
us forever. And the longer he talks the more
the crowd laughs. Is it not shameful to let the
poor man make an exhibition of himself in this
way? Win none of his friends take him home /?
For there can be no longer doubt that he has
lost his wits. He has no longer a method in his
scolding.-N. y. Post.

A HELLISH PLOT.
It's Exposure by n COIOred Minister of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.

Mcthodist Episcopal Church.
From the atlanta (Ga.) Neto Era, June 20.
Below we publish an extract from letter,
received yesterday, from colored minister in
Harris county. We give the extract in his own
crude language, which is sufficiently plain to
the impress of truth upon every line of it. This
letter exposes scheme-of which we have seve-
raj times before had an inkling-which
is almost too wicked and abhorrent to obtain
credenee. Yet we are forced to believe that
there are men who are bad enough to desire
even this method of stirring up strife and insur-
rection, for the purpose of producing state of
affairs in Georgia which will precipitate the
enactment of some extreme and stringent mea-
sures, in regard to Georgia, by the next session
of Congress. The plot has been conducted with
greater degree of secrecy than ever beclouded
the purposes of the infamous Ku-KluX organi-
zation.

The chief feature Of our Money market
to-day is the active demand for loans and
the consequent advance in the rates. The loans
and discounts are distributed among all classes OF
business men as well corporations whose obga-
tons mature with the close OF to-day, and have to
provide the quibus Of paying out the usual July
dividends and interests The pressure the market
is consequently sharp, but 1t will only be CT short
duration, the Treasury disbursements, equal to

Of dividends On the part OF innumerable corpora

the Treasury and to The South and West making
sudden ana complete 'let up" in the market ineVi-
table after few days.
Under the pressure for demand money, the rates
range from Cos per cent, according to security and
street discounts from solo, according to credits and
the urgency OF applicants. Money is quite scarce,
however, and the rates generally are not unreason-
able when really good paper is offered.

Last week / mentioned the fact that
General Butler had gone to Methodist
camp meetings or course he could not
fail to be seen or known; and with a
sublime impartiality, or because they
loved shining mark, some of the breth-
rem and sisters besieged him with en-
treaties, arguments aud scriptural threats
to 90 forward to the anxious seat"
but all their zeal apparently failed to
move him. l have heard that he was
really quite touched by the persussions
Of one Of them. A voluble brother, who
has not yet attained much grace or any
manners, burst on the General and the
meeting as follows: my brethren, l
see General Butler is here. | want you
should pray for him. He once put me
ia a calaboose at New Orleans. I've
forgiven him, but l bless the Lord that
I'm bound for q place where there isn't
any calaboose, nor any General Butler to
put ne in it.-Bosf0H Letter.
