A correspondent Of the Louisville
Courier, says: One would not think
it was "hard times" to observe how
both public and private money is
squandared in this commercial hub
of our republican empire; but it is
"hard times" even in New York,
and all descriptions of businesses feel
it. There has been a great depres
sion ia values, but the world is hope
full, and those who see farthest
through a milestone unLesi,alingly
declare that things are about TO inn
prove, and that the spring will be
season OF recaperaiive buoyancy dc

ANDREW JOHNSON.

BY odds the most conspicuous hg-
ure at this moment presented before
the speculation of the American PEG
pie is the extraordinary man whom
turn in the wheel of fortune has
once more brought to the front of
active political life. The New York
Herald calls the return of Andrew
johnson to the Senate ga national
victory" 1t is certainly national
sensation. The younger Adams
found an easy, congenial and safe
as lum in the lower House of Con
gress after he quilted the President
iaI office; but the world is rarely
visited with the spectacle of resur-
rection like that which has just been
achieved in Tennessee. 1t is as if a
subject, cut and slsshed by many
surgical knives, should, by a pro
digious effort, rise from the dissect-
ing table to which it had been SCI
curcly strapped and should say to
the startled assembly of professors
and students, like the old favorite of
the circus ring, Here we are again.
Indeed the country is all upon the
grin, uproarious and expectant it
hears a flourish of trunpets it sees
a cloud of sawdust there is loud
cracking of whips. "This way, Mr..
Merryman," says Tennessee. -
"Aye, aye, sir-r," says. "A. j. and,

HAPPY HOMES. We pity the
man, however prosperous his pe1u-
MARY condition. or however great
his fame, who has not happy home.
A happy h me is the heaVen of this
life. Yet many of our most dis
tinguished men have not been fortu-
nate in this respect. They have
been made to feel how unsatisfactory
was the worlds applause, or the po-
sition of official power, while all was
cold, heartless or unsympathizing in
their private homes. And these I'M
happy matches have not always or
generally been made from motives
of ambition. They have seemingly
been the misfortune of chance. But
terrible misfortune All the dis
tinctions in the world afford no com
pensaiion for such a deprivation.
There is something inexplicable
about many unhappy matches. A
young couple marry from actual pre-
| ference for each other, and from no
motive but sincere affection; but a
want of congeniality is subsequently
developed, and wretched home for
life is the result. Blessed, indeed,
and more highly favored are they
whose homes, f ON beginning to end
are always happy.

Massachusetts is understood 10 be, In q

lost their places. The sun of kind feeling
has been shining in upon the dark deeds Of
the vindiesive Republicaaism that not long
since so embittered the people. This has
changed pchlic opinion and broken sp party
alliances. Then the tyranny. of the Gov.
eminent arG the effort to control that State
through the impudent dictstion of the office
holders have had powerful effect in Gwe-
ing the voluue.of opposition to the GEAsT

own, aud with all her errors g by no means
inclined to syeSphancy. The last cougres-
