Pending Calamities.

We print in another place today an
article on the Asiatic Cholera. Here
is something in a similar strain from q
religious paper:
GAIL the kingdoms Of the world are
in agitation and solicitude. Revolu-
ton, anarchy, threatens every one Of
them. There have been wars, and new
ones are breeding. There are moral per-
turbations among men. Suicides and all
manner Of crimes and wrong doings are
abounding beyond example. There are
fearful accidents by sea and by land.
There are earthquakes In the last few
years, beyond all examples in history.
There are furious tempests in the air, in
regions that counted themselves exempt
from the like. Frigbtful accidents. deS
flying human foresight, are multiplying
Unnatural crimes are more prevalent
than histories of our ancestors have ev-
er, even by exaggeratfoD, recounted. In
the East--whence plaques come to our
shores--in Persia, we read of frightful
scenes of famine and pestilence togeth-
er. Among thoughtful minds there Is n
foreboding of calamities soon to come
on our country. The pride, the fulness
of bread, the abundance of idlcness,
was never more marked in Baby
Ion or in Tyre, thanin our Babylon and
Tyre of the West, New York, and all the
towns and villages and railroad stations
of the country are but New York ex-
tended. This proud, this voluptuous,
this unbridled people, are calling OH
Heaven for visitation" '..

Exp resident johnson on Grant.

An Interviewer" in the employ of
the New York Tribune. one of the
loveliest of his tribe, went up to Greene.
vile the other day to pump a few out of
ex-P"esident johnson. II will be seen
by the extracts below that the ex- Presi-
dent responded to the process with his
usual candor and frankness:
Mr.. johnson (says the aforesaid inter-
viewisD expressed with great freedom
the peer opinion he entertains of Gen.
Grant. "Grant," he said, .'is wanting
in integrity, wanting in intelligence and
wanting in the win to promote the good
Of the country. The little fellow is sell
fish and avaricious beyond bounds. His
cupidity knows no limit. He Is no sta
tesman and no soldier. He never dis
played any generalship. He marched at
the head--no, not at the head, but in the
rear--of an ilnmense column OF men
that would have accomplished the same
results If he had been in the moon.-
Grant was n mere unimportant incident
lie never showed spark of genius.
What inspiring remark did he ever
make that cheered his soldiers and help
ed to win victory? When did he ever
put himself in danger, like Napoleon at
the bridge of Lodi, to give courage to
his troops? He never showed single
trait of generalsbip. He had no SYM
pathy with his men; he neveg. visited
hospitals or showed any feeling for the
suffering wounded. He was utterly re-
morseless. lie was no leader. lie had
no plans and no strategy. repeat that,
for any good he did in putting down
the rebellion, he might as well have
been in the MOON"
Probably at this time threc-fourths of
the country are ready to agree with the
ex-President in his estimate Of General
Grant, There are other utterances in the
interviewer's report equally plain and
pointed, but we have only room for the
following in addition, which, though
short, embraces a good deal:
Mr. Johnson was particularly severe
on the present system Of internal taxa
ton, which. he said, was destroying
public morals, aud had divided the peo-
pie into two classes-the x-paycrs,
who sought to cheat the Government
ont OF all the tax they could, and the
tax collectors, who stole all the tax they
dared to after they collected it. Fraud,
dcfalcation and corruption were the
natural results of this system.

Interviewed.

The "Interviewers" have recently had
hold of Senator Brownlow and Gen. B.
F. Butler, and the result is before the
country. The Senator is stillopposed
to general amnesty, and thinks if some
Of the leaders Of the late rebellion were
hung he could gather the gentle drape-
rs of his couch about him and lie down
to pleasant dreams. Butler believes it
was predestinated at the birth of crea-
ton that he should at some time OF 9TH
er be Governor of Massachusetts,, with
contingent Inheritance in the Presi-
dental succession. We need not tell
the intelligent reader that the business
of the professional interviewer, though
now somewhat stale and flat, is not
without its uses.

The Tanmany Frauds.

The people in this direction are moi
presumed to be specially interested in
the municipal and local affairs of the
city of New York, but as the radical
papers have been raising a howl over
the alleged frauds and corruptions OF
the "Tammany Ring" and seem dis
posed to charge these to The great dem.
ocratic party Of the country, it is well
enough to let the truth be known. The
short article below, from the Philadel-
phia Age, is significant of the facts OF
the case:
at now appears, says the Philadel-
phia Age, "by the fullest proof and
without the possibility of denial, that
every one of the extravagant bills cited
by the New York Times. was allowed
and paid under the system OF govern.
ment established during the Radical as
tendency In the State Legislature. IT
was system very like that proposed
In the radical House or Representatives
in Pennsylvania, last .winter-.the sys-
tenn of government by commission. 1t
also appears that the attempt of Mayor
Hall to oppose some of these eXorbitant
payments was frustrated by a suit in
which George Jones, the proprietor of
the New York Times, was the plaintiff.
The New York World refers to its for
mer articles denouncing and opposing
this system, which was ended by the
new city charter, which was the first
fruit of Democratic ascendency in the
Legislature, within the present year."

Iunacy.

1t is remarkable what a fast hold the
notion of the destruction Of the world
by the act of God takes upon listemper-
ed minds. AT Saco, Me-, Immediately
after the earthquake, a poor bewildered
man went about the streets crying
awake we, awake; for the Judgment
Of the Lord is upon YOU. Prepare yc
for the everlasting tresw This sort Of
lunacv is highly unreasonable, and will
be satisfied with nothing less than n
general combustion of matter, the saints
being sent up to enjoy themselves and
the sinners sent down to be eternally
roasted, toasted, grlled, broiled and
fried. This general idea of the des-
truction of the world at some future
time is doubtless based on certain
scriptural passages. .

From Vermont.

BURLINGToN, Aug. About three
o'clock this morning a negro entered
the residence of a German named Sal
zor living in the southern part of the
city, it is supposed for the purpose to
steal. but, seeing a young girl lying OH
the bed, he determined to execute a
darker purpose. His efforts to CRAFTY
his passions aroused the girl, and she
screamed for her father, who was sleep
ing down stairs. The old gentleman
proceeded up stairs at once, followed by
his wife and young boy. The wife car
ried a lamp, which enabled the negro to
locate them as they assembled the stairs.
He drew pistol and fired, the ball
entering the heart of the old man, kill
ing him instantly. The negro then made
his way out of the house, fled, and has
not been heard of. Saizor leaves fam
lily of three children to mourn his loss.

The Harvest in Europe,

Some facts have been published by
the European journals regarding the
harvest prospects in the graingrowing
countries of Europe. In Prussia the
prospects are not favorable, especial
~ for the early crops, and the late ones
have suffered severely for the want of Il
warm sun. In Saxony, however, mat
ters are different, and the prospects of a
good, healthy yield has gladdened the
hearts OF the farmers. The wheat and
barley crops of France. especially in the
West and Southwest, have greatly i'm
proved, and promise a productive and
bountiful yield. Russia will, according
to all accounts, be up to the average OF
last year. The promise of an abundant
harvest in Hungary is gratifying, and
in Roumania, Bulgaria and Besarabia
the promises are flattering.

The Communist Element,

Recent advices indicate that the fires
of Communism in France are only
smouldering, and are liable to break out
in another disastrous confiagration at
any moment. A general socialist move
ment, now imminent in the South OF
France, excites the anxiety Of the Gov
ernment, and the numbers and iuflu-
ence of the International Society, not
withstanding its recent bloody failure
in Paris, have aroused the fears of other
powers, and they are moving to fore
stall and prevent any outbreaks OF the
kind on their own territory.

The South.

We are glad to see such candid &C
acknowledgement as the following in the
Knoxville Chronicle: ....r
Notwithstanding the war has been
ended only six years, the industrial af-
fairs Of the South are in more pros
porous condition than cverbefore. We
have more manufactures, our fields are
being better cultivated, our internal i'm
provement system has been improved,
and our cities have been built up. -,
This is a just and propertribute to the
patient industry, the perseverance and
enterprise of the Southern people under
the most adverse and discouraging cir
cumstances and surroundings.
