abolishing slavery, repudiating
,all rebel debts,
recognizing the debts of the United States, and
extending the elective franchise to all male per
sons of color residing in said State over twenty
one years of age who can read the Constitution

said that he had no assurance from the Pre
sident on the subject; but that he proposed
to-day and hereafter to take his position
alongside of the President. Mr. Wade, of
Ohio, said in reply : "Who is your Presi
dent, that every man must bow to his opin
ion? "If you please, why, sir, we all know
him. lie is no stranger to this body. We
have measured him, sir. We know his
heighth, his length, his breadth, his capacity
—all about him, and you set him up as a
:paragon, and declare here upon the floor of
this Senate that you aregoing to wear his
collar. • Is that the idea, sir? You are going
to be his apologist and defender on whatever
he may propose. ' Is that the understanding
•of the Senator from Kansas ? I do not
think, sir, that his constituents will be quite
satisfied with so broad a declaration that lie
is to wear any man's collar, and follow him
wherever he may go." The Civil Rights bill
was passed over the President's veto by a
vote of 33 to 15. The so-called Republicans
who voted against its passage were, Cowan,

MAKING TREASON ODIOUS.
President Johnson can now appear in a
new role. We refer not now to the apparent
desertion of his.party and the Union cause.
The desertion of party is, an old story.. It is
the peculiar vice of Vice-Presidents, when
lifted into the place of their superiors, dei
gratia. Andrew Johnson is' but a third-rate
actor in that line of things. Two ignoble
predecessors have gone into obscurity before
him. He will never find them, though he
seems bound to go in search of them.
The new role of .President Johnson is that
of an originator, an inventor. He proposed
to make treason odious. We thought we had
understood his method. We had formed an
idea of the way in which he might do it.
But we were mistaken. His method is just
out; showing us how to do it, by turning
traitor himself. Let the Examiner accept the
model. Let the illustration be patented.
—The Pacific.
UNLOOSING THE ROCKS.—The great cost
of silver and gold arises not so much from
their scarcity in the earth, as the difficulty of
extracting them from their stony combina
tions. Dr.' J. C. Ayer, the well known
chemist of Massachusetts, has cut this gor
dian knot. Atter having merited and re
ceived the gratitude of half mankind, by his
remedies that cure their diseases, he is now
winning the other half, by opening for them
an easy road to the exhaustless treasures of
the hills. He has discovered and published
a chemical process, which renders at little
cost, the hardest rocks and ores .friable like
chalk, so that the precious metals are loosed
from their confinement, and easily gathered.
Mines too poor to pay, may be worked at a
profit now, and the yield of rich, mines is
largely increased, while the cost of extract
ing the metals from the ore, is diminished.
Either is a great achievement, to enrich
mankind, or cure their diseases.. But we are
informed our celebrated countryman adheres
to the latter, as his specialty and chief ambi
tion.—Buffalo Sentinel.
