- 7 .lfate" .President's Ittegsage.
It was something to bo assared that the,.
President' s' moSSage - feltiperaTe
(loon Meet, and so 'far as he' iiixitains from
the downright abuse to which his speeches
have accustomed us, it may be - adinitted to -
be saber. But there is an intemperance of
thought from Which Andrew SOhnson ;is
never free, and the argument which he laid
before Congress is not one whit' more
worthy of respect than his language When
he called Congress a body of traitors, and
suggested the hanging of its lenders. '
Mr. Johnson does not appear to rement- .
ber the rebellion. Thittlen Staten, in,
their sovereign capacitY,declaredthe Union
destroyed,'; and foright for fotir years' to
make that - declaration good, is a. fact which
he would gladly persuade us to forget: He
insults' the' Constitution - by avowing it , to,
be the protection of traitors, the bar to all
progiess—an: absolute' tyranny over loyal
men,-and abroad license to all rebels. We
do not need to prove this ;'the President has
spared -us the trouble . by his - own words.
Ho declares that:the rebel States have the
• right tnitiritedinte 'representation in ten::
gross, taking the ground that rebellion
give's the nation no right over . tho reorgan
ization ciftheir governments, and no
,power
to exaet conditions before they re=enter the - ,
Union they did their best to ' Zs it'
worth while , to 'expose an argument so, ,
utterly inibecilelL9 this? Only perhaps be
cause the President advances it, and give's
the autherity_tifhl4.,ollige.to,:a.theory_that-,
wadi - 11, - 44gram an intelligent , ,4meriean.
schoolboy;'' Our' schoolbOya ,
rebellion yielded only to-force, and that the
nation has a constitutional authority to •
punish traitors who rebelled, to govern
States that seceded, and to grant loyarmey
the eitizenshiP, they- have earned.' , ; : '
But-.the other misrepresentations 'of the •
President are so gross that he cannot plead
ignorance of their nature. 'Ho,tenOnnees
the Reconstruction
,acts as cruel - Mode of,
punishment:, well ,knowing that ;Congress
tlicLnot enact them as a pent* for crime,,,
but as a process of restoration. IppuniSh
meut had been intended, the letidinigrebel
would have - been hung. Congress IMS
simply- forbidden theta to vote.
, ; Yet this,
apostate President has the'effronteri_te;
accuse congress of "stripping whOle States
of their liberty, and 'reducing - all their.
people, without distinction, to the.eonditiein
of slavery.'„ fro ;appears before the,

the tedium of the otherwise insupportable

'present a rather gloomy appearance for the

; Friday raised thehopes of the river-men,
but the snow , and intense cold following,
and which still continues, has dashed those
hopes for the present: By the bye, speak
ing of snow, I read a passagein the Sunday
Leader (Pittsburg) to-day, which spoke of
the streets being covered with a mantle of
"unsullied' white." - The - editor must have
,been in' one of his sarcastic veins, (he can'
write sarcastically,) or else he - must .have
had too, much Thanksgiving Day. White
snow in Pittsburg; why the idea is su
.prernely ridiculous, its very passagt

gredients that form• the surface of paved
streets can be called "mud,"),and formed a
slush such as can be maaufactured only
out here, but thanks to - the chill of Satur
day, the streets are now 'passable.
Speaking of paved streets,' naturally leads'
me to mention the fact that this city - has
'paid out during the summer and-.full, of
1867, $120,000 for grading and paving streets,
in addition to which, there are other streets
paved, upon which estlinetes have not- yet
been rendered, which-will swell the amount ,
'to $180,000.. She has also. paid $45,750 for the
'improvement of the iyhart; and about $45,00,0
more for sewerage ; ;natty good for one year
• in this young city.• I forgot to include some
.$2OOOO t0..„53,0000 damages far the opening,of
-some of these streets. Large as this sum is,
the sum expended - next year - v:111 be larger
for - the items of streets and sewers. Ano=
,ticeable• peculiarity- hereols -the fact that
few of the dry goods and fancy, stores. have
'any abutters-to their windows, ,but leave
thenieperi - all - night - With the 'sets Inifiting
inside• . I suppose the light ]burning inside, •
and the humps on .the..streets . (which burn •
all. night, not extinguished Just at dip time
- they are most needed, as in' Columbia,) af
ford a better safeguard against burglars than
bolted shutters: Ent then their gas-does not
cost them quite as much here as it does with
you. . Gas in,Pittsburg,,sLBo per 1000 feet,
in Allegheny-42.20,, why .
,the difference I
don't ' know; ' even in' Pittehurg un
reasonabie.consumers are complaining of
the
„extortion of - the Gas. Company; (1
believe in Columbia you, only pay. about,
• $4.00.) • I 'paid" a visit to the Western'
Penitentiary' the other daY, situated in
this city, and, by the kind and gentlemanly
'sou of the worthy . warden, Dr. Campbell,
was shown in, through, and around the
:Institution. -- It is a miniature:edition - of the
Eastern Penitentiary; occupying 'a 'space,
with .the outer walls,,of about acres; there
are three wings, sunder to those in, the
eastern, and the interior arrangernerits- are

'are weaving, shoemaking and broom-mak- .
