A. NEW plan of reconstruction has
been agreed upon by the President and
a number of Governors of Southern
States. As it is not likely to be popu
lar either North or South it will, like
all other"policies" offered, fall through.
IN the U. S. House of Representa
tives on Friday the Reconstruction
Committee's bill to provide a military
government for the Southern States,
was defeated by a refusal to sustain a
call for the previous question by a vote
of PS to Gl—some thirty odd Republi
cans voting with the Democrats solid.
The vote created great astonishment
in the House.
TIE election in the city of Reading
Friday last resulted iu the election of
the entire "Democratic" ticket from
Mayor down to Constable. This is a
change from former contests, and is
what may be looked for in other places
if the Republicans continuo to agree to
disagree upon the reconstruction of the
country. The masses of the Republi
can or Union party are getting tired
waiting for what was promised them
by the leaders of the party.
TUE Now York TIMES says :--"The
Radical members of the Judiciary Com
mittee who are making the preliminary
examination of the impeachment char
ges are still at work and have exam
ined several witnesser, including Gen.
Butler, Gen. Banks, Judge Honstand,
of Louisiana, and others who are mem
bers of the Southern Republicim Asso
ciation of this city. These facts can
not be disputed, although it can be said
with truth that the,Committee have as
yet done nothing in the premises, and
even that no subpcenas have been is
sued for witnesses. In this informal
investigation it is 'proposed to obtain
the pith' f the evidence to substantiate
thecbarge of high crimes and misde
meanors against the President, and it
will then be submitted to a regular
caucus of, the Republican members,
and if, it is decided to be sufficiently
strong to sustain the charges and war
rant it, the formal investigation before
the whole Committee will be authori
zed, and the regular subpcenas for wit
nesses will be issued. This is the pro
gramme now resolved upon by the
members of both Houses who favor
the impeachment movement.
EAIPLOYMENTIN KANSAS—.PLENTY OF
LABOR.—We find the following in the
Kansas City Jourual of Commerce.
Kansas will need by the Ist of April
5,000 men, laborers and mechanics,
During the past year wo have erected
over 600 buildings, for which we have
had to pay large prices, because of the
high price of labor. Bricklayers six
and seven dollars per day, and other
trades in proportion. This city will
next season build three times as much
as it did last; we are building a rail
road.bridge across the Missouri, which
will cost over halfa million of dollars;
we shall also build the largest deput in
the West. The Fort Scott railroad will
need both laborers and mechanics.
Unless at least 5,000 more laborers
and mechanics come hero by spring
the work will have to be delayed, and
private enterprise must suffer. No
have at this time over one hundred
houses which bad to be stopped last
fall for want of mechanics. Buildings
would have been started hist fall; but
on account of the lack of mechanics
were not begun.
EDITORIAL Tarr..—But' low -readers
ever think of the labors and care de
volving upon an editor. CtiPt. Marry
att most truly says : I know how a
periodical will wear down one's exis
tence.- In itself it appears nothing;
the labor is normanifest ; nor is it in
labor; it is the continual attention it
requires. Your life becomes, as it were,
the publication. One day's paper is no
sooner corrected and printed than on
comes another. It is the stone Sisy
phus, and endless repetition of toil and
constant weight upon the intellect and
spirits, and demanding all the exer
tions of your faculties ; at the same
time you aro compelled to the severest
drudgery. To write for a paper is very
well, [Mt to. edit ono is to condemn
yourself to slavery.
Tho costliest watch-that was
ever made is said to have been ono
which was constructed in 1844 for the
Sultan Abdael Medjie, who must have
found it rather inconvenient, since it
was five inches in diameter, and struck
the hours and quarters on wires, with
a sound resembling that of a powerful
cathedral clock. It cost 1,200 guineas.
Another famous watch was noted for
its smallness. It was inserted in the
top of a pencil ease, and though it was
but three sixteenths of an inch in di
ameter, its dial not only indicated the
hours, minutes and seconds, but also
the days of the month. It was made
in Geneva.
A • number of seamstresses in Paris
have been suffering from violent colic,
attributed to putting the sewing silks
they use in their mouths. The silk,
being sold by weight, is adulterated
with sulphate of lead to make it heav
ier, hence its deleterious effect.

Andrew Johnson Stereoscopically
Viewed,
Sir : Andrew Johnson was no
stranger to the politicians who nomi
nated him. His face was long familiar
in the National Assembly. His abili
ties, his politics, his habits, were fully
understood by those who placed him
before the people for the exalted posi
tiorf he now holds. And if he has dis
appointed us they are responsible. We
well remember how heartily we cast
our ballot fiir—as they taught us to
believe—Honest Andy. We confess to
great disappointment. We would not
think of voting for him again, even for
Mayor. He has good points of char
acter, but is not calculated to give dig
nity to the position nor harmony to
the popular elements. It should be to
those election managers a wholesome
lesson for the future. In the meantime,
we should be as amiable as possible
over our folly, and show our wisdom
by making the best of it.
We propose to view our subject ha
partially—not with the contracted
eyes of a partisan, but with the even
scales of a liberal judgment. We would
open an account with him, debtor
and creditor, and strike the balance
according to the stria rule of justice.
No easy task this, we confess. Prcja
dice has been the blind halter to truth
throughout all history. We remember
how it bent the stubborn knees of old
Copernicus, and forced him to recant
a grave conviction ; hbw it reviled
Harvey, imprisoned Stevens, burnt
heretics at the stake, and hung men
and women in l3oston for wearing drab
and funnel bonnets. It is still ram
pant, barring truth, shutting out the
' light, dragging back the car of pro
gress, and blowing the dying embers
of an expiring sectionalism, which has
too long distmeted our country. Wo
would rather err in liberality than
pander to such a spirit.
Wo have watched the progress of
this quarrel between the President
and his old friends with much care,
and have arrived at this conclusion
In the beginning he meant well. He
has been irritated into the present ob
stinacy by determined enemies in the
camp ; and his unguarded tongue is
the rope with which they have execu
ted him politically. Early, Sumner
scanned the situation. Sumner is
Phillips reflected with increased focus
from the Senatorial telescope. Ho
saw that Andrew Johnson was to be a
barrier of the indiscriminate suffrage,
and forthwith proceeded to pour out
his vials of wrath upon him. In the
face of astonished Senators he declar
ed the President "A whitewasher of se
cession," and was sorely rebuked by
them. It was a trick of the wily Ab'
olitionist to head off old Tennessee,and
was successful, no doubt, hoyond the
most sanguine calculation. The Presi
dent waxed hot with wrath, and pop
ped his head into the noose most obe
diently. This was on the 22d of Feb
ruary 1865. In the presence of a large
assemblage he, in passion, kicked the
beam of political respectability, his
last words being "dead duck•"
His unguarded tongue has done
more to destroy his popularity than all
the Congressional pack together. It
has out Stevened Stevens, and made
opponents by the score. That unfor
tunate speech, in which he stooped
from his august position to bandy epi
thets with his opponents, and his Luc
premeditated extemporesin his mem
orable pilgrimage to the grave of
Douglas, did more to neutralize his
statesmanship than all his enemies
could have done in years of wordy
battle. In conferring D. D. on Forney '
he lost his title to respect from those
who elevated him to power. Let all '
future Presidents adopt silened for
their motto if they would enjoy an
easy couch.
As to the sentiment of this first pu
gilistic sotto, we are rather with John
son, with his qualified suffrage, than
with Sumner. We would like to see
universal suffrage when we are ready
for it. Wo hope to live to enjoy this
glorious culmination of political reform;
but we know ignorance is a tyi%ant,
most unjust to its own votaries, and
the very bane of the ballot. This- was
fully proven in the late struggle. For
thirty years past it has given us worth
less paper for currency instead of a
confiding national gold representa
tive. Prudence tells us to take warn
ing from the past, and beware how we
throw our "pearls before swine."
The President has clearly disappoint
ed his friends ; but, to "give the Devil
his due," he has, in the past, deserved
well of his country in its most trying
hour. We remember him as Senator,
when treason raised its slimy crest in
the Senate. how he faced the music,
and smote with keen rebuke the arch
traitors of hisown sunny South. How,
at the close of that exciting contest,ho
journeyed throughout the North,arous
ing the lethargic populace to their
danger. how, when the Border States
hung trembling in the scale, he flew
to the post of danger, and for four try
ing years beat back the maddened fu
ries of secession. The judgment of all
loyal men up to this time was that,
next to Abraham Lincoln, Andrew
Johnson was most deserving of honor
at their hands.
-STEPHEN
"How bas the mighty fallen !"
Strange metamorphosis. He is to-day
the most unpopular man in public ;
end defiant majorities ride rough shod
over his vetoes, as a sort of Congres
sional recreation. Had he cultivated
an amiable deportment, he might have
retained much of his popularity, and
rendered harmless the thrusts of his
designing enemies.
poubtless the President is egotistic,
dogmatic, stubborn, impetuous, un
guarded ;' but we cannot believe him
a traitor,or in improper sympathy with
the enemies of his country. Honestly,
we think he has proved his patriotism
above suspicion; and credit should be
given him in making up our balance,
sheet.
Would we impeach ? •No. "Why
waste our ammunition on a dead
duck ?" We would not exchange our
frying pan for the fire. Were we
Andrew Johnson, we would pray
without ceasing for impeachment. It
would be his opportunity. We can
conceive how eminent and able coun
cil could add a new page to the vol.
ume of our national eloquence in the
defense of such a ease, the world hold
ing breathless attention to every ut
terarice. Acquittal would iu all proba
bility follow ; and the great Union
partyr—that hope of progress—would
stagger rc.der the effects of its own
folly. Its power for good would be
perilled, and the defunct corpse of
Democracy— that arch-enemy of pro
gress—might start afresh from the
grave to which a tried patriotism has
consigned it.
Phillips, Sumner, and Beecher aro
all, doubtless, well meaning men.
They have their hobbies, and black.
ones they are ; and they choose to
ride them, without chart, lantern, or
compass, into the unsurveyed future,
reckless of consequences. Shall we
mount behind and do likewise ? This
is not the platform of our party. We
prefer listening to the admonition of
experience, and to exercise, at least, a
little of the caution vouchsafed to us
by nature.
We can recognize a flaw in our own
web. We think it the height of bigo
try to assent to every edict of our
party. What party, either in State
or Church, was ever perfect, and void
of prejudice ? Majorities run into ty
ranny as freely as water runs down
hill. We should be over awake to the
tendencies of human nature.
The President may have too much
charity for Rebels. His opponents
may err on the other extreme. We
would choose a middle ground, on
which both reconstruction and recon
ciliation could be consummated. To
secure the one without the other,
would be like a foolish attempt to rear
a houseof stone without the necessary
cement with which to render it en
during.
We would not justify the President
in his perverseness, but we dare to
credit him for the good deeds of the
past—for the faithful spirit with which
he strove to save the Union from•the
whirlpool of secession. Ono, thing is
deserving of consideration. Traitor or
not, he has the confidence of the best
men of Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet.
Do these also partake of the treasona
ble sentiment said to be resident in his
heart ? The great Premier, world
famed for ability and patriotism, and
whose devotion to liberty has never
been questioned—the honest Secretar
ies, who on the land and the sea car
ried our starry emblem triumphantly ,
to the end. Such are his advisers.
May it not, after all, be but a .misun
understanding that has thus divided
old friends. We would rather come
together in the spirit of reconciliation
and reason, that the services of these
great and good men may be preserved
—that our victorious march may be
combined, and new victories of peace
be achieved. We have a great work
before Its, which may be perilled if we
weaken our energies by fratricidal
contention. BadiCais will say no; but
if we tie our destinies to their skirts,
God only knows where we may bring
imp. A REPUBLICAN.
A Terrible Hand-to-Hand Fight.
The Port Rono correspondent of the
Louisville Journal says :
Herewith I give you additional and
accurate information of the—terrible
calamity that befel the 18th United
States Infantry on the 21st day of
December, 1866, at or near Port Phil.
Kearney, in Dakotab Territory. On
that ill-fated day the Indians made an
attack on the wood train of the afore
said post. Colonel H. B. Carrington,
the commandant, sent out reinforce
ments to assist the guard of the wood
train. The Indians numbered fifty,
the reinforcing party numbered eighty
one men, including officers and citi
zens. As soon as the Indians perceiv
ed that wo were in close quarters, they
began to retreat. Our mon followed
them.
The Indians entered a ravine, our
men still following. The Indians bad
two thousand warriors concealed in
the ravine. The troops were permit
ted to enter the narrow defile until
they were carefully and hopelessly
surrounded. Then commenced one of
the most terrible hand-to-band fights
ever recorded in the history of Indian .
warfare. Our eighty one men repul
sed two thousand Indians in three suc
cessive charges ; but the fourth charge
was too much for them. Owing to the
overwhelming numbers and disadvan
tageous ground, our net, could sustain
themselves, no longer. They were kill
ed and scalped to the man. Not one
was left to tell the tale of blood.
The post was too weak to send assis
tance to those poor men. They were
Lorribly mutilated. There was but one
eye witness to this fight, Dr. Hines,
ho being at a distance from those en . -
gaged. He stales; that our men fought
desperately. The Indians kept a hun
dred men busy carrying otT their dead
and wounded. It is a supposition that
the loss of the Indians amounted to
four hundred ki.led and wounded.
This faet, however, is not easily ascer
tained, as they carry MI their dead
and wounded on purpose to keep
them from being seen or the number
known.
ESCAPE FROM THE INDIANS—A SAD
CASE :—The Topeka Tribune says
there is at the Gordon House, in that
city, a young lady who has been the
victim of some bitter and brutal ex
perience from the hands of our breth
ren, "the noble red meu of the forest."
Her name is Sarah Jane Luster, and
her home is in Wise county,. Texas.
Some time in the month of September
last the neighborhood. i n which she re
sided was visited by a band of Catrian
elle Indians, who captured her, to
gether with the lady whom she lived,
and two children. The latter lady
was murdered at her house because
she would not cease crying for aid.
Miss Luster and the two children
were taken away by their captors.
Miss L. was divested of all her cloth
ing and was furnished only with a
waist of' an old dress a dirty blanket
for her wearing apparel and bedding.
Making her -escape from the Oilman
ches, Miss Luster was taken by the
Kiowas, with whom she remained
about six weeks: when in the latter
part of October, during a cold and
stormy eight, she escaped from her
second captors, takin , b with her a po
ny. She was without food alone three
days, when she fortunately struck the
Santa Fe road, about ninety miles
westof Council Grove, and where a
Santa Fo train was camped. The
teamsters kindly administered to her
wants, and sent her on to Council
Grove, where she arrived in Novem
ber last.

One Million Lives Lost.
Of the terrible famine in India it now
appears that ball bad not been told.—
The details received were bad enough,
but later and more complete accounts
far surpass anything previously recor
ded. The Friend of India, of Novem
ber 20th, contains the following :
11.1 r. T. Ravonshaw, Commissioner of
Orissa, bas sent to the Bengal Govern
ment a report of the famine in that
province. Never has so heart-rending
a picture been drawn. An official,
whose basis, if it exists, must lead him
to tone down the horrible facts, esti
mates the loss of life from want of food
and its consequences at from 500,000
to 600,000, and in some places at three
fourths of the whole population. This
is among the four and a half millions
of Orissa alone, where .the official re
ports show the deaths to be still going
on at the rate of 150 a day. The mor
tality was not less severe proportion
ally in the adjoining district of
pore, with its population of more than
half a million. In Ganjam, with near
ly a million of people, the calamity
was comparatively light, but famine,
disease and debility swept away thou
sands. The same is .true of Chota
Nagpnre. We have a reliable record
of the deaths of paupers from famine
stricken districts in Calcutta.. Add to
these the mortality in .the other dis
tricts of Bengal, from &Ingot. Island to
Patna aid' the borders of Napaul, and
we have a record of the loss of life
which exceeds in horror and extent
that of any of the six great droughts
of India during the last century. Be
fore the destroying angel takes its fi
nal flight the tale will have mounted
up beyond a million known deaths,—
This is worse than in the great famine
which carried off 800,000 people from
the Northwestern Donb in 1838.
We have reason to believe that the
most terrible of all recorded afflictions
of this kind, that of 1770, was 'not
more ruthless in its murderous work
than this which still demands its daily
holocaust. For the treater part of
that of deatTs has occurred,
not over a wide extent of territory,
nor among millions of people, but with
in an area not larger than that of
England. and Wales, and among a
people who do not exceed six millions
in number. No plague, no black death,
110 yellow fever, no great physical
convulsions like the most tremendous
earthquake, on record, has engulphed
so many victims. The last famine, of
which Baird Smith was the alleviator
and historian, carried off a half a mil
lion, or only one twenty-sixth of the
thirteen millions affected, and the
starvation price of food was never
higher than 7 seers the rupee. This,
ere it closes, will have swallowed up'
a sixth of the people, among whom
rice sometimes was not be had at all.
and for many a long mouth not lower
than 0 seers the rupee.
The Creditor's Stratagem.
Four creditors started from Boston,
in the same train of cars, for the pur
pose of attaching the property of a
certain debtor in Farmington, in the
State of Maine. tie owes each one
separately, and each one was suspi
cious of the object of the other, but
dared not say a word about it. So they
rode, acquaintance, all talking upon
everything except that they had most
at heart. When they arrived at the
depot at Farmington, which was three
miles from where the debtor did busi
ness, they found nothing to "put 'ern
over the road" but a solitary cab,
towards which they all rushed. Three
got in and refused admittance to the
fourth, and the cab started. The fourth
ran after, and got up outside with
_the
driver. lie asked the driver if he
wanted to sell his horse. Ho replied
that he did not want to—that he was
not worth more than fifty dollars, but
he would not sell him for that. He
asked him if ho .would not take one
hundred dollarslor him. "Yes," said
he. The fourth man quickly paid over
the money, took the reins and backed
the cab up to a bank, slipped.it front
the harncsk and tipped it up so that
the door could not be opened, and then
jumped upon the horse's back and rode
onickety-switch, while the insiders
were looking out of the window, feel
