Mr.. johnson said be wished to call atten
ton to the operation of the "CiVll tenure
law" which had been passed by Radical
Congress, for the purpose of circumscrib-
ing the power of the Executive in the ap-
pointment and suspension of Federal ofiic-
ers, and the practice of the Senate ia re-
gard to such removals when made under the
law by the Senate. He referred to the case
of John IL. Anderson, Collector of Internal
ReveRue for the Fourth District of Virginia.
During the recess of the Senate it was
shown by evidence satisfactory to the Pre-
sident, that Anderson was guilty of mis-
conduct and crime, and the President, on
the 10Th day of September, 1867, in pursu-
ance OF the statute in such cases made and
provided, did suspend the said John Fl.
Anderson, from the Office of Collector of
Internal Revenue for the Fourth District of
Virginia.
The President, on the 4th day OF October,
1867, did designate suitable person-Wm.
E. Wells-to perform temporarily, the
duties of said Office, until the next meeting
of the Senate; and until the case should
be acted on by the Senate, and the said
Wells entered into and gave bond for the
faithful discharge of all the duties pertain
ing to said Office.
In the me antime legal steps were taken,
and on the 10th day of June, 1868, the said
John III. Anderson was convicted In the
United States Circuit Court for The District
Of Virginia, on 2 charge of conspiring to

sNOnBER AS A NATIONAL CHARAc-
TERISTIC.

From 81, Pauls Magazine
II is an accepted axiom that snobbsry is an
English speciality; that strongly marked
thread of the vice is inextrlcably lnterwo-
ven ia the woof of the national character;
that Britons, In short, though they may
never, never be slaves, are, have been, and
to all appearances, ever, ever Will be snohs
Sundry other accusations have at differ
ent times been brought against Us as ma
iion, In examiaing which there would be
little interest, either because there is nothing
specially Characteristic In them, or because
they are maniiesuy unjust, and have been
mostly urged by those who do not at all
understand us. But in this matter OF spOb.
berry, the accusations are made by ourselves
and there Is, undenlably, such an amount
OF truth In IL as TO make a
fair xa',inaiion of the meaning Of the
charge, and the degree Of justice with
which il may be considered national blot,

fFrom tho Decatur IN . Magnet March 9d.l
On Tuesday evening, about dark, = bright
eyed girl OF eighteen, handsome aLd appa-
renuy, intelligent, stopped at one Of our
second class hotels. She told the landlord
that she had but little money. and wished to
stop with him few days. The good-nalur.
cd landlord told her that was all right-that
he would l. old her trunk as security for all
deficiency in bis regular charges for his
board. Nothing more was said until this
morning, when the girl informed him that
she wished to 20 to 81. Louis, and asked
with tears in her eyes for her trunk and the
loan OF $40. This the landlord refused at
the time TO comply with, but demanded
about 81 due him on board. She said she
had no money that her trunk contained
valuablss that she could not dispose of in
Decatur, aud promised him quick remit
tance as soon as she arrived In ST. Louis.
Everything was arranged for her departure
the $40 furnished her, but, as che was
getting upon the st Louis train, an officer
from Cairo, with documents in his nocket,
laid his hand upon tue shoulder and said,
"YOu IRE arresied-my prisoner" Before
she could make things satisfactory to the
officer the train lelihe depot with the young
lady in charge Of the Carlo officer. She
was brought before oae ofthe justices Of the
peace, her trunk broken open and contents
examined. II was found TO contain LOT Of
burgular tools. four changes Of suits and
masks and about $500 in counterfeit money.
Upon a more full Investigation, and upon
close examination in private room, 1t was

there arc no snobs. English people az
often much struck by the absence OF snob-
berry from The social relationships and man
ifeslatons OF those peoples, and to be very
sensible of the charm-lOr there Is charm
arising from the freedom from IL. But II
they would only consider what the qualities
are by the loss OF which this absence OF
snobbery is paid for, they would gladly
compound lor the disgust occaslOned by the
ridculousness, the lltleness, the absurd
ties, the meannessnos OF British snobbery.
Let US glance for an instant al the attitude
OF this snObbish British people during the
period OF trouble and anxiety through
which tho nation had recently to pass while
| the life ofthe heir to the crown was in dan
ger. Most assuTedly such national atti-
lude, such a manifestation OF national senli-
ment-if, us IS probable, II might be witness
sed on a similar occasion among our TeutOn
kin-would be wholly out Of the question
among, and is almost inconceiTable, 10, a
people of Latin race. Aud we are often "a.
ted for the snobbery aud "huxyism" OF our
interest In and regard for royalty aud all
that surrounds II. No doubt we have all
been showing our snobbery upon the occa-
sion that has so happily passed away. But
has It not been the natural outcome Of that
phase Of the national character which has
been referred to-a capacity for rcverence-
side Of the national temperamenk for tue
absence OF which no other, or hardly any
other, qualities could compensatu2 Let US
be very sure that to lUok up, to be able to
feel loyalty, to revere, is not ignoble, but Is,
on the econtrdrY, so essential to noblenes of
character that no true nobility OF national
temper can exist where II is not. Happy
/ would II be foT some other nations il II were
| possible for them 10 feel and exhibit such
sentiment as that which has Just been
making itself manifest over the whole length
and breadth of the British family.
May we never cease TO be snobs at the
cost OF ceasing to be revereniial people.
II we can hit the goldea moau and learn,
all Of us, 10 have the virtue without falling
into the vice, SO much lhe better. We
shall reach that consumatiOn some day.
And in the meantime do not let us make to
much OF this matter OF English snobism, as

depreciation which has Of late years been
