Andy JoiFssoS.

We were never one of Andy Johnson's
political admirers. Andy used to be We
ry great denagogue--but not moreso than
many other men. When Andy assumed
the Presidency, be sided with the Radical
party, but he soon discovered bis mistake
and cut loose from them. For this the
RAIDS impeached him, but failed to convict.
A memorable event IN Andy's Administra-
ton Is that in which he proved Gen. Grant
base liar! The proof was clear, positive
and irrefragable. Bnt il didn't matter !;
the lie only lifted Ulysses coat-tail to walk
into the Presidency!
As little, however, as we admire tho an
tecedents Of Andy, We accord him sound
sense. His views on the situation (which
We publish on the Ist page.) assimilate
in measure with our own. We remark
that the freedom Of the negro is fxed
fact for all time TO come. Forever let him
remain free. But we cannot lose sight Of
another fact that this was and should BE-,
a srhie mans Government. The North.
in order to humble and degrade the South,
mixed in the luck element and required
the South to accept il. It was done. and
the South will adhere strictly to the letter
u the Law. But if the North, at future
day. shall see its mistake and. repenting.
shall propose 10 crop out the Llack features
If this Government, ace land We speak for
ourselves only would accept the PROPOSE
ton. Wbatharm would there bc il that?
II the North made the Africana voter. it's
for her to take the lead in unmaking him IL
she gets sick q hcrvWn phySic. But until
the popular voice Of the North demands
this change Of tie new amendments of the
Federal Constitution. We accept them IN
good faith until their dnality is objected to
By those that flstsncd them IN Us.

a short time since, according to reports
in the Missouri papers, an old trapper.
named Anderson Sheppard. sixty-fve years
old, was attacked while in his skiff on .
stream called Warmers river, in the south
eastern part Of the State, BY three rnfians
in another skiH. AT the first fire the old
man right arm was broken; but. nothing
daunted, he levelled bis rife over the edge
Of his skiff with his left~hand, and shot one
Of his assailants dead. The surviving ruff
fans then fred at and wounded him in the
body, but with his left-hand and teeth he
succeeded in reloading his rife, and shot
another of bis foes. And finally, after re-
ceiying seven wounds. lie got his rife once
more loaded, and shot the third and last
Of his assailants. AT last accounts this old
hero was still living, though in critical
condition.

How A Doc SAVED A MANS LIFE
A pleasant little story, of which a hero is
a well trained setter-dog, comes from
Quincy, H., and the Wing Of that city tolls
it as follows:
The dog usually sleeps at night in q
kennel in the rear Of the house. Ga Thurs
day night last, about TO o'clock, as his
owner went to his room 10 the second story
on the front side of the building (the lights
below being exliOguished), he heard his
dog come beneath the window and set up
most earnest constant barkng,apd it seem
ed to him that there was an unusual tone
in the animals voice. Surprising that there
were intruders on the premises, he oponed
the window and called out to Mig to 'catch
EN- The dog, instead Of starting off un-
der the order, continued to bark, jumping
up against the wall Of the house beneath
the window, evidently desiring that bis
master should come down. The gentleman
went down, aud as soon as he reached the
outer door was met by the dog, who, still
barking, ran to the rear Of the dwelling -
His master following, found his hired man
lying on the ground, helpless and uncon-
scious' He bad as he afterwards stated
stopping out from the kitchen, fallen upon
the ice, bis head striking a stone step and
cutting a fearful cash in his scalp. lie
had to be carried into The house, and IL was
