THE NORTHERN FIRE-EATERS.—Thoso
terrible fellows, the Southern fire-eat
ers, were swept oat of existence by the
tempest of war which they brought
upon the country. Where now are the
Yancoys, Rhetts, Toombses, end the
class of men whom they represented?
Where are the fierce and furious spee
ches with which they used to inflame
the nation, and by means of which
they finally "fired the Southern heart
and precipitated the Cotton States in
to revolution." Clone—forever and
wholly gone. But in their stead we
have now a small and equally terribly
set of Northern Fire-eaters—men of
the same narrow and extreme cast of
mind, the same hot and uncontrollable
passions ; the same fierce language, the
same ambitious purposes. They live
by.firing the northern heart, by play
ing upon the sectional feelings, and by
embroiling the popular passions.—
There must be a check put upon them
by the common sense and reason of
the people, or they will yet bring the
country into a state of turmoil equally
terrible, with that from which it has
just emerged. That cheek can be the
most effectually administered now by
honest, peace-loving Representatives,
of whatever party, in our National
Congress.
&r - Fred. Douglas, in a speech at
Philadelphia, said that in the Address
adopted at the National Convention
in Philadelphia on the 14th of August,
there were many things which he ap-
proved. Indeed "if that address bad
emanated from a colored Convention he
thought ho should have gone for every
word of it." We do not doubt it. It
is not the principles of that address, or
the policy which it advocates, to which
objection is taken,—but only thequar
ter from which it comes. Wo have
seen nowhere any serious attempt to
refute the arguments or overthrow the
principles of that Convention. Indeed,
they are very generally accepted as
perfectly just and true by the great
body of the Union men and Itepubli•
cans throughout the North. The only
objection to thorn is that they come
from the wrong quarter. If they bad
only come "from a colored Convention"
they would have been eagerly indorsed
and adopted.

Slanders on the President,
EX-GOV. THROOP TO MR. IVES
WILLow BROOK, Tuesday, Sept. 25, '66
To Bev. B. I. Ives:
Sus : I have been told that at a po
litical meeting recently held at Auburn,
of which you were one of the orators,
you asserted in the presence of a large
assembly that the President of the
United States, at an entertainment
given to bins by the citizens of Au
burn, on my grounds, became so beast
ly drunk that ; ou his leaving the
grounds, the . Mayor was obliged to
help bins into the carriage, and to hold
him up there until they reached the
city; and that you turned round to the
Mayor, sitting near you, and quoted
him as authority, and that the Mayor
was silent. As stories are apt to aug
ment or change their character in pass
ing, the above may be a misrepresen
tation of what you said on that occa
sion; and, if so, I am sure it will be
agreeable to you to correct it. It is
the object of this note to afford you an
opportunity to give your own version
of what you did say ; and, also, that tf
yon did say that the President was
drunk, to give the assertion a flat con
tradiction. I do this from my own
knowledge, and I am supported by in
controvertible testimony, both of la
dies and gentlemen. If you feel justi
fied to persist in the -slander, have the
goodness to state your authority; for 1'
know nothing of your character which
would lead me to believe that you
would utter so foul a slander without
believing it to be true, and that if you
were convinced of an error you would
be most happy to acknowledge it. I
feel this assurance from the obligations
of your social calling, which requires
you to teach others not to bear false
witness. The story has gone abroad
throughout this community, and is be
lieved by.all predisposed, and, nodoubt,
far beyond those limits.
I note, also, that in a paper I never
heard of before, printed •at Auburn,
called the Independent, of which I sup
pose, you are an associate editor, in a
number dated Sept. 20, there is a kin
dred remark, in these wordS : "Such is
the length to which the drunken moun
tebank, whom Booth made President,
would carry the fools who follow him."
I do not address.you, Sir, in the inter
est of any party; for it is well known
that I have no mingled in party strifes
for nearly thirty years. I interpose
in this matter to vindicate the moral
character of an injured individual who
is not in a situation to vindicate him
self from word of mouth slanderers in
obscure quarters; and feel that it is a
duty incumbent upon every honorable
man, under such circumstances, who is
acquainted with facts, to bear tostimo
ny against injurious fidsehoods. I con
sider the duty in this case peculiarly
mine, inasmuch as the President was,
in a manner, my guest on the occasion
referred to.
-STEPHEN
I=Ml'll
The'political and official conduct of
the President are fair subjects for dis•
mission, and if there is a blemish in his
moral character he is no more exempt
than another person from the exposure
of it. But like every other man, if he
is falsely accused ho suffers a wrong for
which the culprit is responsible. The
crime is indeed the greater committed
against a person charged with his re
sponsibilities, for it is a damage to the
public as woil as to the individual.
Alter leaving the table of the Gov
ernor, the President retired to my
house, where he met a party of ladies
and gentlemen, and after having pass
ed sometime with thorn he withdrew
to a more private room for repose.
There I joined him, and remained with
him until ho was summoned to enter
the carriage to return to the city. I
Saw him seated in the carriage with
Gov. Seward by his side and then took
leave of him.

Grant's Views of Reconstruction.
[Conclusion of Gen. Grant's Report
to the President after a Toth• of Inspec
tion in the South, December 1865.
CM]
The following are the conclusions
corne to by me:
"I am satisfied that the mass of the
thinking men of the South accept the
present situation of affairs in good
faith. The questions which have bore,
teflon divided the sentiments of the
people of the two sections—slavery
and state rights, or the right of a
State to. secede from the Union—they
regard as having been settled forever
by the highest tribunal—arms--that
men can resort to. I was pleased to
learn from the leading men whom I
met that they not only accepted the
decision arrived at as final, but that
now the smoke of battle has cleared
away, and time has been given for re
flection, that this decision has been a
fortunate ono for the whole country,
they receiving the like benefits from it
with those who opposed them in the
field and in the Cabinet.
Diy observations led mo to the con
clusion that the citizens of the South
ern Stales are anxious to return to self
government within the Union as soon
as possible; that while reconstructing
they want and require protection from
the government, that they are in ear
nest in wishing to do what they think
is required by the Government not hu
miliating to them as citizens, and that
if such a course was pointed out they
would pursue it in good faith. It is to
be regretted that there cannot be a
greater commingling at this time be
tween tho citizens of the two sections,
and particularly those entrusted with
the law-making power.

Letter from Secretary McCulloch.
Secretary McCulloch, having been
invited by some friends to Indiana to
deliver political addresses in that State
during the present political campaign,
returned the following answer:
IVasmNoroN, D. C., Friday, Sept. 28,
186 G.
GENTLEMEN : I have delayed acknowl
edging the receipt of your letter of the
7th inst., in hope that I might be able
so to arrange my business as to be ab
sent for a few days. from Washington.
I regret to bounder the necessity of
saying that my official engagements
are of such a nature that it will not be
in . my power to accept your invitation
to address my follow citizens of Lafay
ette, Pore and Fort Wayne, as request
ed by you, prior to the October else•
Lions, upon the momentous questions
which aro now engrossing the atten
tion of the people of the United States.
I regret that this is the case, as it
T70111(1 afford me great satisfaction to
have a fair, frank talk with my old
friends and acquaintances in Indiana
with whom I have acted politically in
times past, and especially during the
late civil war.
In the unfortunatecontroversy that
has arisen between the President and
Congress I stand with the former. In
doing so I am not conscious of aban
doning any principle or becoming a
convert to any new doctrine. In com
mon with the groat mass of the Union
Party, I have always held that the
States whose citizens rebelled against
the Federal Government never ceased
to be States in the Union, and when
the rebellion bad been overcome I felt
it my duty to co-operate with the
President in carrying into effect the
plan of restoration which had been ap
proved by his lamented predecessor.
To that plan t regarded the party of
which I was a member as virtually
committed by the action of its Conven
tions and the resolutions of Congress,
before Mr. Johnson attempted to carry
it into effect. To that plan I any still
committed by the dictates of my best
judgment. ' It is, in my opinion, wise,
liberal and statesmanlike—the only
plan yet presented which properly re
gards both the rights of the Central
Government and the rights of the
States, which can be adopted with safe
ty by the Conquerors and accepted
without sacrifice of honor and man
hood by the conquered, and which
lohds directly to reconciliation and
peace.
I have no time to write you at
length, but I cannot close this note
without remarking that the charges
made against Mr. Johnson of abandon
ing his principles or of desiring to bring
the recent enemies of the country into
power are like the reports in regard to
his habits of personal indulgence—ut
terly destitute of foundation—sland
era of which the authors will beasham
ed when the heat of party passion
shall have subsided. In his unpremed
itated remarks ho may have indulged
in a plainness and directness of speech
unusual in the Chief Magistrate of the
nation, and offensive to some very crit
ical and fastidious people ; but every
body admits tbat his messages and
other official communications (and by
these he must be judged) are models
of ability and good taste. Men may
differ with him in regard to his man
ner ofdealing with the States recently
in rebellion, but no fair man could
have been with him, as I have been
during the trying eighteen months of
his Administration, without being im
pressed with his love of country and
devotion to duty, with the unselfish
ness and uprightness of his character
and the honesty of his purposes. That
the principles which he advocates And
represents will be Vindicated at the
approaching elections I hope and be
lieve. Of their ultimate vindication 1
am as fully persuaded as I am of the
perpetuity of our republican institu
tions.
I have the honor to be, very truly
your obedient servant,
HUGH McCULLOCII.

A Noble Act Rewarded.
Gift from the President to an Indian
Chief.
President Johnson has caused a sil
ver medal to be prepared, together
with ono hundred silver dollars and a
certificate of merit, for presentation to
IMo-ice-op, a chief of the Blackfeet tribe
of Indians, as a'reward for rescuing a
white woman from captivity. The
medal weighs about half a pound. On
one side it bears the profile of the Pres
ident around which aro the words
"Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, 1865.", On the other
side is a pedestal, hearing the word
"Peace," and upon it a bust of Wash
ington. In front of the pedestal Col
umbia is grasping an Indian by the
hand. Columbia carries an American
flag, and is surrounded by the imple
ments of progress and industry. The
Indian carries his weapon, and in the
distance is a herd of buffaloes bound
ing through the prairie grass. The cer
tificate was engrossed on parchment in
the office of Indian Affairs, and bears
a vignette of the United States coat-of
arms, executed with the pen, beneath,
which is the following inscription :
"EXECErriVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,

Gen. R. B. Lee, Richmond,
GENkatAL: Your communication of
date the 13th inst., stating the steps
you had taken after reading the Presi
dent's proclamation of the 29th ult.,
with the view of complying with its
provisions when you learned that,
with others, you wore to be indicted
for treason by the Grand Jury at Nor
folk; that you had supposed that the
officers and men.of`the Army of North
ern Virginia were, by the terms of
their surrender, protected by the Uni
ted States Goveilitnent from molesta
tion, so long as they conformed to its
conditions; that you were' ready to
meet any charges that might ho pro.
feried against you,-- and did not wish
to avoid trial, but that if you were
correct as to the protection granted by
your parole; and were not to be prose•
cuted, you desired to avail yourself of
the President's amnesty and proclama
tion, and inclosing an application there
for, with the request, that, in the event
it be acted on, has been received and
forwarded to the Secretary of War,
with the following opinion indorsed
thereon :
In my opinion the officers and men
paroled at Appomattox Court-house,
and since upon the same terms given
to Leo, canhot to tried for treason so
long as they'obsorve the terms of their
parole. This is •My understanding.
Good faith, as N ' iT r :Is true policy; dic
tates that we should observe the con
dition of that convention. Bad faith
on the part of the Government, or a
construction of that convention sub
jecting the officers to trial for treason,
would produce a feeling of insecurity
in the minds of all the officers and men.
of so disposed, they might even regard
such an infraction of terms by the ,Gov
eminent as an entire • release from all
obligations on their part. I will state
further that the terms granted by me
met with the hearty approval of the
President at the time, and of the coun•
try generally. The action of Judge
Underwood, in Norfolk, has already
had an injurious effect, and I would
ask that he be ordered to quash all
indictments found against paroled pris
oners of war, and to desist from the
further prosecution Of them.

A Singular Character—Eccentricity
and Pauperism.
The Mobile Gazette publishes the:
following remarkable history:-Thereare
few residents of Mobile who have not
seen the Sicilian, Andrea, hobbling
through our streets upon his patched
crutch, and walking staff, or lying ou
some door step, basking in the sun,
wrapped in the rags of poverty—a
picture of filth and pauperism, without
a parallel in any other city. Many
reports are given of his history, of the
cause by which ho lost his leg, and of
his eccentricities, but from these eon
'flicting statements it is difficult to ar
rive at the truth, and ••no inducement
can be offered him to speak of his past'
career. Importuni i his in this direction
are most certain'to be mot by a fit of
passion calculated to deter the most
persevering from preSling the subject
too closely., - : But`qtort . states that in
his boyliootae Quo of Lafayetto's
crow, and lost his.leg during the act .
'
ion between the :Gulf pirate and an
English Man of witr. •
This statement. is Without any sub
stantial authority; bat there seems to
be much more truth in the following,
which has just been related to us by a
gentleman who has seen him daily for
the last fifteen years : About eighteen
years ago Andrea resided in New-Or
leans, and while ono day assisting to
put some !malty timber in a vessel an
dorgoing repairs, ono of the logS fell
upon and, crushed his leg. Amputation
becathe necessary, and was perfotqued
at the Marine hospital in that city;and
a few years afterwards be came to Me
bile, where ho soon became an institu
tion.
Ho has relatives in good circum
stances, who have made ninny efforts
to reform his vagrant; habits, and once
prevailed upon hiirOtitb such success
as to establish him in afruit stand, fit
ted up for his, beiefit, in which he
continued but 1.• feW days, when ho
broke up his . stands and boxes, pitch-
ed his fruit into the dock, and without
giving a word of explanacion,resumed
his uncouth habits. Ile has been re
peatedly provided with good clothes,
which seemed to dis o rust him more the
nearer they approached g entility, and
w
a fe days will find 'them n torn up,
patched and repatched, imtil . all sem
blance of shape has been destroyed in
them, and Andrea rejnice in his rags
again. Strangers, thinking him an ob
ject of charity, sometimes offer turn
Money, which ho alWays throws back
at them in a fit of rage and passion.
When driven by. hunger he will
sometimes ask for a piece of bread,
which is nevcr refused him, but more
frequently enters a saloon or bakery in
whatever part of the city he may ho,
and helps himself to any article of food
desirable to him, and coolly emerges
into the street again - , Without saying
"by your leave," o 1 "thank you." At
the market lie heti been known to take
up a fish, sometimes devouring it raw,
but when his appetite gives him lesiiire
he goes through a process of cooking
it, peculiar to hiinself
Without scalding, ekaning,orgiving
it any civilized preparation whatever,
he will place it on the Coals of some of
the furnaces on Front street, and per
mitting it to broil but a few seconds,
draws the tempting morsel forth, and
instantly devours it. Taking his posi
tion in the sun, the vermin with which
bis rags aro populated soon warm in ,
to lifo•and activity, when Andrea's oc
cupation begins by an onslaught upon
the graybacks. Ho will go under one
of the clocks when the process of ablu
tion becomes a necessity with him,
wash
.his clothes, and after hanging
theM out to dry, take his crutches and
swim to the opposite side of the river,
remaining there until his apparel is
sufficiently dry to be worn, when he
returns and resumes his peregrinations
through the city, travelling day and
night, sleeping in the sun, wherever
and whenever fatigue overtakes him.
Andrea is never dishonest, takes
nothing without being seen, and never
accepts anything that is not absolute
ly. necessary to the support of life.
His constitution is'of iron ; ho nas nev
er been sick, or rather has never been
missed from, Pao :street, unless (it .is
said) on tho full of the moon, %%ion ho
becomes morose, anti, apparently out
of his mind. Left to himself ho is harm
less enough,
,but. when set upon by
mischievous boys, is.easily worked in•
to a dangerous passion.
Horrible Daring.
The Buffalo Express of Friday says:
A man named John Ross was arrested
at Evan's during the early part of this
month, charged with steeling a horse
from United States Deputy Collector
Thompson, who had , seized the same
at the Black Rock Ferry for the non
payment of duties. , Ho was brought
before Justice Albro, who, on the sth
of September, fully. committed him to
jail to await trial on the charge.
HO remained in jail without any
thing unusual happening until yester
day afternoon, when at the usual hour
of letting out the prisoners be went
down into the privy, taking with him
the rope from his bunk. He then pull•
ed up a couple of rotten hoards, and
lowered himself nto the horrible vault.
The rope was found attached to the
scantling but a short time after his dis
appearance, and search was commen
w3d immediately for the prisoner.
The vault is an exceedingly large
one, and has not been eleatised for some
time, and the accumulation of filth
rendered the stench Unbeatable. Far
ther examination demonstrated that
the man had not only descended into
its depths, but that he had disappear
ed in the sower, which is only sixteen
inches square, connecting the vault
with the main sewer on Ellicott street.
A long pole was procured by the bill:
cials, and an effort mado to reach him
by thrusting it into the aperture; but
without success. Ono of the prisoners
was induced to enter the sewer to see
if he could find him, but, he was una
ble to resist the influence of the fetid
atmosphere, and came out gasping for
breath.
From the description of the sower it
seems almost inevitable that the man
must have suffocated 'before reaching
the main drain in FA street, or if
he did not, he must have exPCrieitced
some terrible sensations in forcing his
passage through.
lie is described as being five feet
eleven inches in height, and propor
tionately stout, and it would seem al
most impossible for such a person to
squeeze himself along the narrow pas
sage from the vault to the main sewer;
but if he did succeed in accomplishing
his object, what must have been his
herror to find him Self in the passage,
when perhaps ho thought the small
passage terminated somewhere above
ground. Ile may have reached the
large sewer, but, in that event, his fate
could only o a most frightful death,
in the most dismal place tot's pOnceiv-.
ed of—the dark sewer of a large citY, :
surrounded by myriads of rats, which,
he know, would soon feast upon his
dead body—perhap3 would not even
wait. for his death, but attack him
while still alive.
Whatever may have been his fate,
the incident must be regarded as one
of the most, horrible that has ever oc
curred in our city.
