PRESIDENT JOHNSON ARRIVES THIS EVEN
ING.-The President and his distinguished
fellow-travellers are expected to arrive by
the $50 train at the Petersburg depot this

by Captain Milward, whose carriages will
convey them Immediately to the Spots
wood hotel. A cavalry escort will also ac-

The fine band of the Eleventh United

President to remain day in Richmond,
but should he determine to 60 on immedi-
ately to Washington the whole party will
leave by the Richmond, Fredericksburg,

morning.


The Governor, Mayor, and City Council
will, we learn, meet the President at the
depot in body, and extend to him an in
vitation to remain in Richmond during Sa-
turday and avail himself Of the hospitality
of the city. Should he conclude not to
remain they will doubtless do all that is
necessary in honor Of the distinguished

An English paper tells story Of a singular
application of the telegraph, which may well
go into the permanent annals on the electric
wire. The special correspondent in London of
a Glasgow paper was accustomed every even
ing at late hour to bring his dispatch to
telegraph office in the upper story of high
building, the street door Of which was closed
at certain hour, and attended after that by a
porter. The functionary, on the occasion in
question, went sound asleep, and the most
energetic poundings of the correspondent on
the door were unsuccessful in awaking him to
his duty. After half an hour or SO Of increas-
ing Gn He went m az
station and sent message to Glasgow, re-
questing the clerk there to telegraph to the
clerk in the inaccessible upper story in Lon
don, to go down and awaken the porter. This
was done with entire success in about twenty
minutes, the message traversing distance Of
over four hundred miles to arouse man onl,
separated from the visitor by door.

the registered voters did not vote in the
strong Union county of Nevada, one OF
the local papers there tells us that 'out
of 800 voters on the Great Register,
hardly $500 votes were cast in the
county" 1t was the same, we presume,
in nearly all the counties; and of those
who did not vote it is safe to assume that
nine tenths were of the Union party.
With a ticket such as the people would
have nominated the Union vote of the
State would have been 10000 more than
it is recorded. They were utterly dis
gusted at the hypocrisy and corruption
of the politicians who assumed their
leadership, and all the terrors of party
discipline and the insane rawlings of a
false hearted and pusillanimous press
were as unavailing as the idle wind. So
may il ever be. In this degree of spirit,
intelligence and honor, the welfare OF
the State is so safely lodged that no one
neas ever again despair of it.

There are instruments that measure


the density and temperature of the at
mosphere, foretelling the approach of
destructive storms or cloudless skies.
Their variations are governed by immu-
table natural laws. The rising and fall
ing of the mercury in the barometer is
not a more reliable indicator of the con-
dition of the atmosphere than gold is of
the condition of National affairs. In
1861, gold was at par. With the pro-
gress of the war it varied in quotation,
although in reality the standard of value
as regularly as success or disaster came
TO the government. Financiers are the
shrewdest politicians. They do not
measure events by the flexible rule oi
theory, but by their practical effects


He who read the gold report each day
saw at a glance the real condition of the
country. The Treasury endeavored to
control it, with millions of gold on de
posit to flood the market when the rise
was rapid, but the effect was temporary
and local. Its quotations not only re-
corded but anticipated the events of the
day. It reached $50 in the darkest days
of the rebellion and receded as ou-
armies were ricioylcus nd the cauzs s..

A certain Reverend Mr.. CARROLL, Of
Wayne county, We believe, proposed in
the House Of Delegates on yesterday
to enact that suits for libel may be in
stituted in any county where the paper
publishing the same, may circulate, and
that such suits may be brought against
editors and publishers, either jointly or
separately. From the fact that this
gentleman recently demanded of us
the name of q correspondent, who
had been ventilating some of his ex-
ploits, and from the fact that he as
sured us of his intention to seek Gre
dress, sirs, in legal point Of view," we
are at no loss to infer his disinterested
purpose, in having the laws fixed to suit
his case. He probably intends, when
he gets his bill through, to institute his
proceedings in that august and incorrup-
tible tribunal over which his superior in
brains, if not in honesty, NAT.
HARRISON, presides. If it be not
deemed impertinent, we would
like to know what percentage on YER
diets will fall to the share of the bogus
judge, and what proportion will be
"hived" 10y the brevet parson.


Is the reverend gentleman of the
opinion that under existing laws his
contemplated suits will avail him moth
ingi Does he reflect that under the
Constitution the truth may be plead in
justification of libel, and that unless
he can get before Court that has as
little regard for the Constitution as it
has knowledge of law, his prospects Of
success are dim' If so, his prudent
preparation is highly commendable.
