Their farms were beautifully situated; the soil nat urally productive. So far there was not n particle of difference between the two places. Vet they wore a different as pect. buildings looked nice and tidy. His barn and outbuildings were snug and comfortable, his orchard looked thrifty, und the trees were care fully dressed. Now, Mr. Jones had no more of a family to support than ids neighbor, yet the aspect of ilia house and farm were very different. Oldrub bish wus kicking around iu the yard, that should have been less unsightly places; ids house looked weuther-beat en and neglected ; rags were seen in spots where panes of glass were expected to be found ; there were large cracks in the barn, through which the winds of heaven hud free -course. Ilis apple trees were disfigured by old bark and dead limbs; and in short everything seemed to wear a look of dilapidation and neglect. Edwin Jones wus a hard working man, and he often caughthim self wondering how it was that his neighbor Johnson keptulong so smooth ly and quiet, and yet hehadeverything in perfect order. *«•**#* One rainy day in the Pall after liar vesting was over, Johnson was at work in Ids tool chamber when ids neighbor Jones entered. “Johnson” said the latter, after he had watched his neighbor’s place a few moments, “how much did that old sled of yours cost; I have got to have one this winter.” “Oh, that cost me nothing; I made that myself, L got out the timber lusL winter, so that matter’s disposed of; and 1 feel proud of it too. It’s my first at tempt.” “■Well, neighbor Johnson, I don’t see how iu the world you get along so. Your farm don’t produce any more than mine does, ami I don’t believe you work as hard as I do. Your wife don’t make any better butter than mine; your don’t grow any better wool. You raise more fruit to be sure.” “I have not so many acres as you.’' “ No ; but the fruit is of betterquality, and finds a ready market.” “ Yes, because I have taken paius t.o obtain the best grafts. My trees were the same as yours when we started, — My cows give more milk than yours do in the winter, for they have a warmer barn. X raise more pork than you do, because my pens are tight and comfor. table, and so on.” “ And I suppose you are laying up money?” muttered Jones with a crest fallen look. “ Certainly I am—about $5OO ayear?” “ So much !” exclaimed Jones with a look of surprise ; “ why, J can't lay up a single cent; in fact, am running be hind.” “ Let me tell you the secret,” said Johnson, in the kiudest and most neigh borly way. “ Last summer I saw you buy two pitchforks; now how much did they all cost you V” “Let’s see—two dollars and a half.” “Well, my fork handle got broke last winter, so did some of my rakes. 1 brought them right up here, and when at leisure just fixed them up. There was so much saved. Now you have nothing at all to do to-day.” “ No, indeed ! it rains too hard.” “But I am at work making my apple boxes; how areyougoingtogetyours?” “ Crausiou makes them for me, and I am to give him a barrel of apples.” “ Winch is us good as two dolkit> Now if yuu hire as good a sled as mine made, it will cost atleast twelve dollars. You see how these little things count up.” “ And all this comes of your having tools to work with,” returned Jones, whose eyes were beginning to open. “Yes, neighbor.” “Well, if I had tools I could save a good many sums fu the course of a year, but X never have the money tospar6 for them. Why these 'ere tools o’ yourn must cost mor’n fifty dollars.” “ Just about that.” “ ThenX'm mighty afraid Xshall have to scrape along with borrowed tools. X shall never have that sum to spare.” “You don’t understand. Let me ex plain the secret. I should never have goue with a fifty dollar bill and bought these things. X have procured one at a time with my grog and tobacco money.” “Grog and tobacco money!” repeated Jones with a look of blank surprise. “Yes,” said Johnson with a smile now If am going to give you a lecture. I am going to give you the benefit of my experience. The first year X began on the farm, I used to have 'spirits by me, aud every now and then take a drink, to keep up my strength I said to myself. In the long wai m days, in hay ing and harvesting, the bottle used to be patronized liberally. But X finally began to see that it was growing hard for me to resist and so, after deliberating on the subject, I came to the conclusion that rum and tobacco did me no good, and might do much evil, aud I would leave them off—so I did. So I commenced laying money they cost me. I saw how much might be saved if X could do the work myself I had been obliged to pay for, so I began buying such tools as I thought would come handy. At the end of the first year I found that I had quite a collec tion, and Jit had come from money I * ' ‘ ’'l ' | :' . . ~J.,!l ■■'-j. ,: ~ VOLUME 67. might otherwise have drank and smok ed up, and I feel healthier and happier than the year before. I knew I had laid the foundation for future good. Time passed on —my grog and tobacco money kept coralngin. Itwas now a hammer, then a saw, then an augur, and another plane, a bit stock, &c., till I have now an excellent stock of tools, and they are not only a source of great profit, but of solid comfort into the bargain. I be lieve, friend Jones, in giving up my grog and tobaoco I have been a great gainer. Now, do you not think you could do as well without It ?” “ Johnson,” said Jones at length, af ter a protruded silence,. “I wish you had told me of this long ago.” “ I was afraid it might offend you—it is a delicate mutter at best.” “ I know it, but Edwin Jones is not the man to bo offended with a neighbor for friendly advice.” “Well,” said Johnson, with an ex treme look of gratification, “it’s never too late to mend, and if you get into a pinch, where fifty or a hundred dollars will be of use to you, come to me.” Mr. Jones thanked his friend with a suspicious moisture shining in his eye, and shortly after took leave. The very next time he went to town, instead of refilling his brown jug and empty box, he brought* home a new augur, and a proud man was he, at work with his own tools. Time passed away, and he soon found himself the 9wner of quite a little stock of implements. This tiling operated, many ways for good. Now that lie had the ability to fix up iiis buildings with out borrowing tools, lie began to take a pride in d&ugit. He re-set his windows roofed his beehouse built new pig-pens, tightened his barn, and in rainy weather was never without pleasant and profit able employment. His cows did not break through the barn floor now, and they give as much milk, his bees make as much honey, his trees yield as good apples us his neighbor Johnson’s do, uuU all this is becuuso he stopped his grog and tobacco expenditures, bought iiis tools, and left off depending upon his neighbors ; and so he is a happy, thriving and contented farmer. A ilumb Mah Cured by Prbycr, Joseph Norris, residing iu the vicini ty of this city, having lost the use of his speech entirely, about two weeks ago, was recommended by hisphysician Lo tile free use of whiskey or brandy as r a remedy. He tried the prescription for about three days—using brandy and eggs so freely that during that time he kept himself thoroughly uuder its in fluence; but without the desired effect. It did not work a cure on him like the same remedy did on a lady in the neigh borhood of Cambridge city, ail account of whose case we published sometime ago. On Sunday night last Mr. Norris started to attend the Methodist meeting, held at Mt. Pleasant, about three miles from this city, and while on his way, he became impressed that if he would get down on his knees in the road and pray, L)is speech would be restored. So powerfully did this impression become that lie obeyed the premonition, and there in the road he poured outliis sup plications to God, asking him, if consis tent with his Divine Will, to restore iiis lost speech. After concluding his prayer, he arose from iiis kuees, and went on towards the place of meeting—no perceptible good having been accomplished by his efforts. Ashe neared the meeting house, the inward prompting, that “still, small voice,” impelled him to again “ pray to Him that lieareth in secret,” and the result was that he was “re stored openly,” for almost instantly his speech again came to him, and during the meeting he told his experience, and gave to God the glory of his miraculous cure. Truly “ God works in a mysteri ous way, His wonders to perform.”— Ex. A True Xian, He is above a mean thing. He can not stoop to a mean fraud. He evades no secrets in the keeping of another. He betrays no secrets confided to his keeping. He never struts in borrowed plumage. He never take selfish advan tage of our mistakes. He never stabs in the dark. \He is ashamed ofinuendoes. He is not one thing to a man’s face and anotherbehiudhis back. Ifbyaccideut he comes in possession of his neighbor’s counsels, he passes upon them an act of instant oblivion. He bearssealed.pack ages without tampering with the wax. Papers not meant for his eye, _ whetiier they flutter at the window or lie open before him in uuregarded exposure, are sacred to him. He encroaches on no privacy of others, however the sentry sleeps. Bolts and bars, locks and keys, hedges and thick ets, bonds and securities, notice to tres passers, are none of them for him. He may be trusted himself out of sight— near the thinnest partion—anywhere. He buys no office, he sells none; he in trigues for none. He- would rather fail of liia rights than win by dishonor, lie. will eat honest bread. He insults no man. He tramples on no sensitive feel ing. If lie have rebuke for another, he isstraiginforward, open, manly. What ever he judges honorable he practices toward every man. A Child’s Faith. The Petersburg (Va.,) Democrat once told an affecting story of a little boy of that city, who having recently lost his father, found himself deprived of the privilege of attending school as formerly; and in the fullness of his faith he deter mined to seek the werewithal at that footstool to which lie had been taught to look for other and higher blessings. In the simplicity of his heart he sat down and gravely wrote a letter to his Re deemer, thinking perhaps that so formal a mode of preferring his request would meet with greaterattentiou. What was the surprise of the Postmaster, William A. Friend, Esq., on discovering among tiie contents of his letter box, pne morn ing, a missive directed “(To Jesus Christ !” Opening it, he read the story of the boy’s wants, and withnobie kind nessdeposited in theenvelop the amount required, and directed it to the young supplicant. The Path to Kindness. William Wirt’s letter to his’daughter on the “small, sweet courtesies oflife,” contains a passage from which a deal .of happiness might be learned: “The way to make yourself pleasing to others is to show them attention. The whole world is like the Miller of Mansfield, “ who cared for nobody —no, not lie, because nobody cared for him.” And the whole world would serve you so, if you gave them the same cause. Let every one, there fore, see that you care for them, by snowing what Sterne so happily calls the “small courtesies,” in which there is no parade, whose voice is too still to tease, and which manifests themselves - by tender and affectionate looks, and little acts of attention, giving others the preference in every little enjoyment of the table, in the field, walking, sitting, or standing. The Art of Printing. BY BAYARD TAYLOR. Perhapa there is no department of en terprise whose details are less under stood by intelligent people than the “ art preservative”—the achievement of types. r Every day, their life long, they are accustomed to read the newspaper, to find fault with its statements, its ar rangements, its looks; to plume them selves upon the discovery of some roguish and acrobatic type that gets into a frolic and stands upon its head ; or of some waste letter or two in it—but of the pro cess by which the newspaper Is made, of the myriads of motions and thou sands of pieces necessary to its compo sition, they know little and think less. They imagine they discourse of a won der, indeed, when they speak of the fair white carpet woven, for thought to walk on, of the rags that fluttered upon the back of the begger yesterday. But there Is something more wonder sul still. When we look at the hundred and fifty-two little boxes, somewhat shaded with the touch of fingers, that compose ttie printer’s “case”—noiseless except the clicking of the types, as one by one they take their piaceain growing line—we think we have found the mar vel of the art. We think how many fancies in frag ments there are iu the boxes, how many atoms of poetry and eloquence the prin ter can make here and there, if he only had a little chart to work by, how ma/iy facts in a small “ handful,” how much truth in chaos. Now lie picks up the scattered ele ments, until he holds in his hands a stanza of Gray's Elegy, or a monody upon Grimes “ all buttoned up before,” and now “ Paradise Dost,” he arrays a bride in “ small caps,” und a sonnet in “nonpareil;” he announces that the languishing “ live,” In one sentence transposes the words ami deplores the days that are few and “evil,” in the A poor jest tricks its way slowly into the printer’s hand like a clock Just run ning dowu, and a strain of eloquence marches into line letter by letter. We fancy wc can tell thediflereneeby hear ing of the ear,H>ut perhaps not. The types that told a Wedding yester day announce a burial to-morrow—per haps the self same letters. They are the elements to make a world of—these types are a world with something in it as beautiful us spring, as rich as summer, and as grand as au tumn flowers that frost cannot wilt, fruit that shall ripen for all time. The newspaper lias become the log- book of the age ; it tells at what rate the world is lunning; we cannot find our “ reckoning” without it. True, the green grocer may bundle up a pound of candles in our lust ex pressed thoughts, but it is only coming to base uses, and that is done times in numerable. We console ourselves by thinking that one can make of that newspaper whut lie cannot makeof living oaks—a bridge for time, that he can fling it over the chasm of the dead years and walk safely back upon the shadowy sea into the fair Past. The singer shall not end his song, nor the true soul be eloquent no more. The realms of the Press is enchanted ground. Sometimes the editor has the happiness of knowing that he has de fended the righ£, exposed the wrong, protected the weak, that he had giveu utterance to .a sentiment that has cheered somebody’s solitary hour, made somebody happier, kindled a smile upon a sad face, or hope in a heavy heart. He may meet with that sentiment many years after it may have lost all charm of its paternity, but he feels af fection for it. He weLcomes it as a ioug absent child. He reads it as for the first time, and wonders if, indeed, he wrote it, for lie has changed since then. Perhaps he could not give utterance to the sentiment now—perhaps lie would not if lie could. It seems like the voice of his former self calling to its parents, aud there is a something mornful in its tone. He be gins to think—he remembers why he wrote it, where were his readers then, and whither wiey have gone—what he was then,and how much he has changed. So he muses, until he finds himself won dering if that thought of his will con tinue to float after he is dead, and whether he is really looking upon some thing that will survivehim. And then comes the sweet consciousness that there is nothing in the sentence that he could wish unwritten—that it is a better part of him—ashred from thegarmeutof im- inortality he shall leave behind him when he joins the “ innumerable cara van,” and takes his places in the silent halls of death. Early Indulgence of the Appetites. Parents should ponder well op the dangers of an early and capacious in dulgence of the appetites and imaginary wauls of their children. Repetition soon becomes a habit once formed, even in childhood, will often remain during the whole of after life, acquiriug strength every year, until, at last, it sets all laws, human and divine, at de fiance. Let parents who yield to the cries of their children for dainty and promiscuous food, or who allow them to torment domestic animals, or to strike their nurses, or to raise the hand against any person, consider well on the conse quences. The moral effects of pamper ing the appetites of children are most melancholy. Is the mother afraid of an explosion of passion, a bribe is too often promised in the shape of a cake or tart, as a peace offering. Does it annoy a whole company by its boisterous or ill-timed pranks, it is per suaded to be quiet by the promise of some sweetmeats. If it has been good, ns the is, and learned its letters, the reward is still too frequently sorne tiifg for the stomach. Eating is soon regarded as the chief end aud object of life by a child, who sees in it the chief incentive to good behavior. A premi um would truly seem to be given for gluttony. The use of the other nobler faculties of the mind, the early cultiva tion of the kindlier and better feelings of our nature—generosity, disinterest edness, pity 7, filial love—all are over come or postponed in favor of the one sensual, selfish and absorbing act of gor mandizing.

Bill Arp Addresses the Lebannon Law School and Gives his own Sad Expe rience. Milledgeville, Feb. 1886. Messrs. C. C. Cummings and others } Committee Gentlemen — l have reseeved your kind invitation to address your law skool. In tbe situation by which lam surrounded it is impossible for me to go. I wish I could, for I would like to tell you all I know about law, and. it wouldent take me long. I’m now’ iu the law bisuess myself at this place.— We are engaged in manufactunn it by wholesaie, and after while irwill be re tailed out by lawyers to anybody that wants it. Its an easy bisness to make law, though some of the bills introduced are awfully spelt. To-day I saw a bill, iu which “ masheenry,” was spelt with two esses and four ease. But the great est difficulty is in understands the law after it is made. Among lawyers tbisdif ficulty don’t seem to lie so much in the head, as iu the pocket. For five dollars a lawyer can luminize Borne, and more akkordin to pay. But he ougheut to luminize but one side at a time. The first case I ever had in a jestice court I employed old Bob Liggens, who was a sorter self-educated fool. I give him two dollars in advance, and lie argued the case I thought, ou two sides, and wus more luminous agin me than for me. I lost the ease, and found out ihat the dependent had employed Liggins after I did, and give him five dollars to lose my case. I look upon this as a warnin io all clients, to pay big fees and keep yourlawyer outof temptation. My experience in litigaliou have not been satisfactory. I sued Sugar Black oust for the price of a load of shuks. He said lie wanted to buy some ruffiuess, and I agreed to bring him a load of shuks for two dollars. My wagin got broke and he got tired wailiu, and sent out after the shuks hisself. When I calld on him for the pay, he seemed surprised, and sed iL hud cost him two dollars und a half to have the shuks himld, and that Ijestly owd him a hull' a dollar. He wus bigger thuii 1 was, so I hwul lowed my bile and sued him. His lawyer pled a set ollTor liuulin. Hu pled that the shuks wus unsouud ; that they were bard with limitations; that they dident ugree with his cow, and that he never got any shuks from me. He spoke about and alluded to me as a swindler about 4-5 times. The bedevild jury went oul und brought in a verdik again me for fifty cents and four dollars for costs of suit. 1 huiut saved nary shukon my plantation since, and I dont intend to until itgits lessexpcnsive. 1 look upon this as a warnin to all folks, never to go f o law about shuks, or any other small circumslauce. The next trouble I had wus with a feller who I hired to dig me a well. He wus to dig it for twenty dollars, and I wus to pay him in meat and meal, and sich like. The vagubond kept gittiu along untill he got all the pay, but hud : eut dug nary foot of grown. So I made out my akkouiit, and sued him as toilers, to wit: Old John Hanks lo Bill Arp. L)r. To 1 Well you dident dig - - $2O. Well, Hanks he hired a cheap lawyer, who rard round extensively, and sed a heap of funny things at my expense, and finally.dismissed my case for wliut lie called its “ lidikulum absurdum.” I paid those costs, and went home a sadder aud a wiser man. I pulled down my little cabin, and moved it some 300 yards Higher to the spring, and I’ve drunk mity little well water since. I look upon this case us a warning to all folks never to pay for any thing tilt you've gut it, espeshlaUy if it has to be. dug. The next law case I laid I gained it all by myself by the force of sirkum stunces. I bought a mau's note that was given fur the hire of a nigger boy, Dik. Fimlin he wouldent pay me, I sued him before old Squire McGinnis, beleeviu it wassich a dead thing that the devil couldent keep me out of a verdik. The feller’saltoruey plead failure of con sideration, nun cat faktum , aud -ignis fatius , and infancy, aud that the niger’s name wasent Dik, but Richard. The old squire was a powerful secesh, and hated the Yankees amazin. So, after the lawyer had got through his speech and finished up his readin from a book called “Greenieuf,” I rose forward to an attitood. Stretchin forth my arm, ses I, “Squire McGinnis, 1 would ask, sur, if this is a Lime in the history of our af fiikted country when Federal Jaw books should be admitted in a Southern pa triot’s court ? llavent we succeeded for ever from their foul domination ? Don’t our flag wave over Fort Sumpter, and what, sur, have we got to do with Northern laws? On the very first page of the gentleman’s book I seed the name of the city of Bosting. Yes, sur, it was writtenin Bosting, published in Bos ting and sold in Bosting, where 'they don’t know no more about the hire of a nigger than an ox knows the man who will tan his hide.” I sed some more things that was pinted aud patriotik, and closed my argument by handin the book to the squire. He put on hisspek takles, and after lookin at the book a minet, ses he. “ Mr. Arp, you can have a judgment, and I hope that from henceforth and forever, no lawyer will persoom to come before this honorable court with pisen dokuments to prove his cuse. If he do, this court will take it as a insult, and seud him to jail.” I look upon this case as a warnin to all folks who gamble iu law, to hold a good hand and play it well. High jes tice and patriotism ure winnin trumps. After this I had a difficulty with a man by the name of Kohen, and I thought I wouldent go to law, but would arbytrate. I bad bought Tom Swillins wheat at a dollar a bushel if he. couldent do any better, and if he could do better he was to cum back and give me the pj'efvrrnsv. The skamp went oil’ami sold the wheat to Kohen for a dollar aud five cents, and Kohen knowd ail about his contrakt with me. Me and him like to have fit, aud per haps would if I hadent been puny ; but we fiually left it-all to Josh Biliius to arbytrate. Old Josh deliberated on the thing for three days and nights, and finally brought in an award that Ko hen should have the wheat, and I should have the prefereme. I haint submitted no more cases to arbitration since, and my advice to all peepul is to arbytrate nulhin if your case is honest* for there aiu't no judge there to keep one man from strikin the other. An honest man don’t stand no chance no where exseppin in a court house with a good lawyer to back him. The motto of this case is, never to arbitrate nuthin but a bad case, and take a good lawyer’s advice and pay him for it before you do that. But I got Fretman—l dident,‘but my lawyer Marks did. Fretman wasa nut meg skoolteacher who had gone round my naborhood with his skool articles, and I put down for Troup and Calhouu togo, and intended to send seven oreight more if he proved himself right. I soon found that the little nullitier wasent belevih in anything, and on inquiry I found that Nutmeg was given powerful long recesses, and was empfoyin his time chiefly in carryin on with a tolera bui sizd female gal that was going to him. Troup sed he heard thegalsqueel herself one day, andheknowd Fretman was a squeezin of her. Idontmindour boys squeezin of the Yankee gals, but I’ll be blamed if the Yankees shall be a squeezin ourn. So I got mad and took the children away. At the end of the term Fretman Bued me for eighteen dollars, and hired a cheap lawyer to col lekt it. Before this time I had learned some sense about a lawyer, so I hired a good one, and spred my pocket-book down before him, and told him to take what would satisfy him. And he tuk. Old Phil Davis was the jestice. Marks made the openin speech to the effek that every professional man ought to be able to illustrate his trade, and he therefore proposed to put Mr. Fretman on the stand and spell him. Thiß motion were fout hard, but it agreed with old Phil's notions of “.high jestice,” and says he, “Mr. Fretman you will have to spoil sur,” Marks then swore him, that he would give trueevidencein this case, and that he woul&epeli every word In Dao’l Webster’s spellin book correktly to the best of his knowledge and belief, so help him, &c. I saw then that he wertremblin all over like a coldwtt dog. Says Marks, “ Mr. Fretman, spell “tisik well he spelt it, puttin in apA and a th aud a gh and a zh, and I don’t know what uli, and I thought he was gone up the first pop, but Marks said it was right. He then spelt him right strait along ou all sorts of big words, and little words, and long words, and short words, and afterwords, and he knowd em all, till finally Mark ses, “Now sur, spell Ompo7npynusuk. ,, ~- Fretman drawd a long' bretu and sed it wasent in the book. Marks proved it was by an old preacher who was settin by and old Phil spoke up with power, ses, “Mr. Fretman you must spell it, sur.” Fretman was aswettlniikearun down filly. He tuk one pass at it and missed. “ You can come down, sur,” says Marks, “ you’ve lost your ease.” And shore enuf, old Phil giveaverdikaginst him like a darn. Marks was a whale in his way. At that same court he was about to nonsuit a doktor bekaus he dident have his diplomy, and the doktor Oeg’d the court for time to go home after it. He rode seven miiesaud back as hard as he could iiok it, and when he handed it over to Marks very triumfuntiy, Marks ses, “ Now, sur, you will takethe stand and translate this Latin into English, so that the court may understand it.” Well, he jest caved, for he couldent do it. He lost his case in two rainets, for the old squire Said that a doktor who could ent read his diplomy had no more rialit to praktis than a magistrate who could ent read the licence had tojine two couple together. This is a warnin to all professional men to understand their bisness, and the moral of tne case is, that a man oughtent to be squeezm the gals when anybody can see him. But 1 don't want it understood that I’m agin it on proper okkashions and in a tender manner. There alnt no squeelin necessary But I must close this brief epistle. Youth, truly, Bill Aril P. S.—l forgot to mention thut the Freedman's Buro have had me up U kaus Mrs. Arp turned ofl' her nurse for not talkin baby talk to her child. She said that my wife throwd a cheer at her head. The lyiu hussy was there, a wcurin Mrs. Arp’s coilur and shawl that she'd stole. I pinted emout to the Buro, and left in defiant disgust. The moral of this is “to stand your grown” or uurse your babies yourself. B. A.

Mnmlnc, Feh. 2 th. I^oo. >cn* Gcorpe li. Wripht, Chairman uf the /itpub lican Central OnnmiUce, CX/tambivs (jluu : My Dear Sir—On Saturday last I had the honor of an interview with the President, which I regarded as of suffi cient interest aud importance to make it proper that I should reduce to writ ing my remembrance of liis statements whilst they were fresh in my memory, since he seemed to me liu a perfectly free aud unpremeditated conversation to exhibit, with peculiar clearness, the processes of his owu mind in reaching some of his opinions, aud to express them with such manifest candor aud entire freedom from personal feeling thut I could not but think that if he would conseut to it good might be done by making his statements public. Ac cordingly, I uguin waited upon him this uiorniug to make known what I had done to ask his verification of the truth of my report, and his consent to make the same known to the country. Although he was perfectly unaware of my purpose to reduce lifa remurks to writing, and I myself.had no such in tention when I first called upon him. he most frankly gave his consent, and assented to the accuracy of my report, wnicli is as follows : He said he had no thoughts which he was not willing toavow; that his policy had simply aimed at the earliest possi ble restoration of peace on the basis of loyalty. No congressional policy had ever been adopted, and therefore, when lie entered upon the duties of his office, he was obliged to adopt one of his own. He had in some sense inherited that of Mr. Lincoln, with which bethought he agreed, and that was substantially the one which he had carried out. Congress had no just grounds of complaint that he had done so, for they had not seen fit to declare their views or adopt any measures embodying what could be called a policy of restoration. He was satisfied that no .Jong continu ance of military „ government could be tolerated, that the whole country would properly demand the restoration of a truly civil government, and not to give it to the lately rebellious. States, would be an admission of the failure of the administration and of the party which had carried through the war, to prove themselves equal to the ex igency, now that the work of destruc tion was over and that of rebuilding had begun. Military governmentaloue would not pacify the South. At the end of a long period of such government we would be no nearer, and probably not so near the end, than now, and would have the same work to do. Hence there is a real necessity of adopting a policy which should restore the civil government fully, just as soon as the rebellion should be thoroughly end ed, and these conditions accepted by the South which were to be regarded as absolutely necessary to the peace of the country. One central idea had controlled him in the whole matter, and this was that the proper system of pacification should, be one which tended everywhere to stimu late the loyalty of the people of the South themselves and make it the spring of loyal conduct by proper legis lation rather than to impose upon them laws and conditions by direct external force. Thus, in the case of the Freed men’s Bureau, he was not against the idea of the bureau in toto, for he had used it and was still using it. It might continue for a period of more than a year yet. He had contemplated that either by proclamation of hisown or by some action of Congress as a coudition of peace the technical end of the rebel lion would probably be declared at some period (perhaps not very remote), and as he understood the present law the bureau might continue a year from that time. Meanwhile he could say to the South, “It depends upon yourselves to say whether the bureau shall be dis united at an earlier day, for I will put an end to it just as soon as you, by proper action for the protection of the freedmen, make it necessary.” This, said he, the hope of getting rid of the institution, stimulates them to do what is right, whilst they are not dis couraged by the idea that there is no hope of an end to what they regard as a sort of military government. If, on the oth er hand, the bureau were to be made a permanent thing by legislation, which on its face appears to be part of the fixed law of the land, all the objections he had urged in his message applied in full force to it, and instead of encouraging the South to loyalty, you tend to drive them to desperation and make their hatred of the government inveterate. The same principle of stimulating loyalty was shown in the m&nner in which he held martial law over them. Whenever they should show so peaceful and law abiding condition ,of their community that martial law was not needed, it should be removed. Their own conduct would thus determine the matter, and the desire and interest of all the best people be increased to put down disturbances and outbreaks, to protect Union men and obey the laws, because in so doing, they would hasten the with drawal of the direct interference of the military arm in their affairs. In precisely the same way and under the influence of the same idea, he had acted in regard to civil affairs generally in that section, regarding.it as necessary and propertoimposeupon therebellious States conditions which would guaran tee the safety of the country ; and re garding the then existing affairs of the local governments as having disqualified themselves, by their treason, forcontin uance in power, he deposed them and established Provisional Goveuments. Then he asked himself what conditions ought to be demanded of them, and how their disposition to accept them in good faith might be stimulated. The coudltious, viz: The amendment of State Constitutions, excluding slavery ; the acceptance of the same amendment of the U. S. Constitution ; the repudia tion of the rebel debt, and the admis sion of the freedmen to various rights, &c., everybody is familiar with. Toatim uiute them to accept these conditions, being such, as usiug his best judgment, and in the absence of any Congression al plan, lie thought the nearest right of any he could frame, he engaged thut on ibeir acceptance, with evidence of good faith, he would permit them to reorgan ize their State Governments, elect leg islatures, &c., and, so far as Executive acts could do so, would restore them to their position in the Union of States. They had so far accepted his conditions, that lie did not regard the experiment as a failure, but a success. He had ac cordingly reorganized the Post Office Department everywhere among them, had reopened trade aud removed restric tions thereon through the Treasury Department,juid in like manner, in ail the Executive Departments, recognized them as .States in the Union, only keep ing enough of a military hold to protect the freedmen, as he had before stated, and to induce them to do some thing mme thorough in that di rection. Now but one tiling remain ed in which those States did not exercise the full rights of States, aud that is representation in Congests. In this lie had advised that eiple of stimulating as in the other respects w+*4e&4ic had named. He would admit only 'such representatives as were in fact lr>yal men, giving satisfactory evidence of this. Whenever a State or District sent u loyal man, properly elected and quali fied. he would think it right to admit him the same us from any other Slate, and lie would admit none but such loyal men, so that other States or districts might be (bus induced to elect and send similiar men. When they had all done this, their representation would be full, and tile work would be <lone. Such was liis plan. He did not ask to be the judge of the elec tions and qualifications of members of Congress, or of their loyalty. Congress was its own judge, and he had no dream of interfering with its constitutional rights, but lie feltlikeurgingupon them, and upon the country, that this mode of finishing the work, so nearly completed in other respects, was the only feasible one which had been presented, and that it was impossible to ignore the fact that the States were exercising their rights and enjoying their privileges within Lhe Uniou were, iu short, restored in all oilier respects, and that it is too late to question the fundamental right of rep resentation. [ then remarked to him that I had heard it .suggested that legislation could properly be made by Congress, purely civil in its character, providing lor the protection of the frcedmen by United States courts oi inferior jurisdiction, in all cases where the States did not do so themselves. He replied that sucli an idea would run exactly parallel to his ! plan, but lie hud not thought it yettime to fix his own ideas of the precise inode ' of accomplishing this end, because we had a margin of time lasting till after the next session of Congress, during which the present Freedmen’s Bureau could continue in operation; and if heftxe that time the Southern States should recognize the necessity of passing proper laws themselves, and providinga proper system of protection for the freedmeu, nothing further on our part would be necessary. If they did not do what they ought, there would be time enough to elaborate a plan. He then referred brielly to the fact, that men who have been disloyal were rejoicing over his veto ‘"essage, saying, that if men in good land: adopted the views of policy he had himself held and acted upon, and which he had so freely elaborated in his unnQal message and explained to me, the country sure ly could have no cause for sorrow in that. If disloyal men and rebels every where, North and South, should cor dially give in their adherence to the conditions of reßtoratiou he had uni formly insisted upon, lie thought that was precisely the kind of pacification loyal men everywhere should rejoice in. The more they were committed to such a course, the better lie would like it. for if they were not sincere, they would at least diminisLj their power of dangerous opposition 7 in the future. His whole heart was with the body of true men who had carried the country through the war, and he earn estly desired to maintain a cordial and perfect understanding with them. Thissentimeutand purpose he regard ed as entirely consistent with determined opposition to the obstructive policy of those extremists, who, as he believed, would keep the couutry in chaos till ab solute ruin might come upon us. Such, my dear sir. is theconversation al statement of the President on this important matter, and if you could meet his straightforward, honest look, and hear the hearty toues ot his voice, as I did, lam well assured that you would believe me, that, although lie may not receive personal attacks with the equan imity and forbearance Mr. Lincoln used to show, there is no need to fear that Andrew Johnson is not hearty and sin cere in liis adhesion to the principle upon which lie was elected Very truly, yours, An Old Robbery brought to Light—Re covery of a Large Amount of Jewelry. From the Montgomer (Aki.j Mull, 20lb. It will doubtless be remembered by many of our old citizens, that in the year 1851 the jewelry’ establishment of Mr. George Harris, Market street, was •Miteivd by thieves, and a great variety’ of jewelry abstracted therefrom,amount ing to about ten thousand dollars in value. At that time, and uutil a few days since, no clue could be obtaiued as to the property or the thieves, and all thoughts of the robbery had ceased to exist in the minds of the people. Strange to say, as an old gentleman was passing through the city cemetery a short time since, his attention was attracted to a large clay root by a dog, which had pursued a rabbit to that lo cality. The old man whose name we believe to be Chase, on arriving by the spot indicated by his dog, was startled on beholding, laying around loose, having been scratched up by his dog ship, a great variety of gold watches, bracelets, finger-rings, &c. The old mau was astonished, and thought him self in a dream. In a few moments, however, he was “master of the situa tion,” and proceeded at once to collect his “fortune,” but tindmghe wa&unable to rexndve it alone, he procured the as sistance of a friend, when the booty was secured. A large amount of the jewel ry has been sold around the city promis eously. but it is being collected up, and turned over to Mr. Harris. The works of the watches are, of course, totally ruined, but the cases, as well as the rings &c., are all good. Mr. Harris fortunate ly has preserved the advertisement of the robbery, and is thereby enabled to identify his property. The Way they Drink In Maine. A correspondent of the Herald, at Augusta, Maine, writes as follows: Malt liquors and whiskey seem to be prevalent beverages. Hundreds of young men are addicted to the habit of tippling. A stranger would not sup pose we had a stringent prohibitory law on our statute book, but we have; yet it is not enfoiced, save in a few in stances. We have sadly gone back since the days of the Maine Law and Neal Dow. Groggeries are in full blast and the most lucrative part of the apoth ecary business is the compounding of villainous potationsof tanglefoot whisky &c. Even ladß of twelve or fourteen toss off*their glass of ale with as much gusto as soakers of fifty imbibe their favorite poison. I Tne Democracy do not Claim thePresl- The New York World puts the case fairly in the following sentences: "It would bo nbsurd and belittling to claim the President In consequence of his wise and courageous aotion, as a convert to the Democracy. « • . * When the most important nnd valued rights are id peril, it is praiseworthy inagnunlinitv for a President.to rise above party oonsiif erations; nnd the country is under great obligations to President Johnson for his single-minded devotion £b the interests of the whole Union." We have seen nothing as yet to indi cate that the President has abandoned the Republican party; although by act ing for the interests and welfare of th,e whole people and far the permanent re establishment of the Union nnd Consti tution, he has passed for in advance of the leaders of his parly. The Democracy would be untrue to their principles should they fail to approve the measures of a policy parallel with that of their own organization : but, for all this, the time may come wlteu Mr. Johnson may diverge from the Democratic course as he has from that of his own party. He has declared his purpose to act indepen dently of party and for the people of the whole Union. While so acting he must of necessity be Democratic, but while surrounded by advisers and, iu a meas ure, controllers who differ witli him the distant future, is quite uncertain. A small portion of his party are yet with him, and it may be that, with that as a nucleusarouud him, and the threat (not expressed but implied) of joining the Democracy, he is determined to bring the radical and major portion of it is party to the adoption of a Union policy—the only policy that cun save it from defeat and extinction. The Democracy can, at least, rely upon it that so long as Mr. Johnson remains Arm in the stand he has taken so long will there be hope of a restored Union and a protected Constitution. Should the majority of his party utterly refuse to adopt his policy, lie lias it iu his power to strengthen his hand by drawing around him the Democratic and Con servative elements tlirouglioutth'ocoun try, and tliusbuildingupiipartydevoted to the cause of the peepfeand invincible In number, ability and patriotism. It Is this fact which makes it manifest that the radical Republicans are holding their fate in their own hands. If mad ness shall continue to rule them, politi cal oblivion must be their portion ; but if they shall speedily recant their here sies and hang out some visible sign of contrition and desire to do right, they may count the probabilities of further indulgences in place. In the latter case to the Democratic party will be due, at all events, the honor of having forced upon the Republican purty the alternative of a restored Union an un destroyed Constitution and a White Mun’s Government, or the unavoidable and permanent dissolution of their or ganization. In any event, therefore, the Democ racy have cause to rejoice. It might please many to know that Mr. .Johnson had determined to dispense patronage to Democrats, but, liowever gratifying this fact might lie to some, the para mount consideration with the many is and should be the restoration of the Union and the supremacy of the Consti tution. It is this that induces the De mocracy toendorse the adoption of such stringent measures by the Executive as must eventually force the disunion rump faction to declare themselves Dem ocratic iu principle in order to retain power and patronage. The first thought, therefore, with Democrats being the Union and the Constitution, it is to be hoped and is urgently requested that no one who claims fraternity with the Democratic party will stultify the or ganization by soliciting office of Mr Johnson. Buch solicitation certainly would stultify It, if, as .is supposed, the President is merely using the Democ racy as a rod to whip the refractory members of his own purty back to the ranks which hecoramands. Let us not stumble into any such pitfalls. Let us, also, have it to Bay that, in seeking the good of our country, no selfish or un worthy motives entered into our thoughts or actions. The Democracy have, for long and terrible years of revolution, borne every species of con tumely and persecution foropiuionssuke —unswerved by threats and firm and pure against all the combined powers of prison bolts and dungeons and thegolden bribes of ambitious demagogues. Shall we allow this crown of glory to depart from us now, by the exhibition of the slightest desire for office or power, ex cept in a legitimate and honorable way, as a means to restore the Government to its pristine unity and greatness? We hope not. Let us wait and work. The people are coming over to us—every day makes this moremanifest. Let us, therefore, bide our time.— Patriot and Union. THE RADICAL WAR OX THE PREBIDEXT.

THE NEW YORK TIMES. The course of Andrew Johnson lias touched the public heart as with a coal of fire. Everywhere it is denounced by the earnest friends of the Union cause. Not since the fall of Sumpter has there been such an uprisiug against unpro voked and uuexampled treachery. The Northwest has united against him in solid phalanx ; and everywhere in the Border States the true men—the men who have sacrificed property and risked life, and suffered almost unparalleled horrors, have repudiated him with a bold indignation that shows equally their scorn at the betrayal and the be trayer. Among those who haveremain ed untouched or unimpressed by these national manifestations is theNew 3 York Daily Times, a newspaper heretofore wielding a large aud deserved influence. Its subserviency more than humiliating. It not only approves the political policy of Andrew Johnson, not only sanctions his veto to a bill which Governor Raymond, the editor of the Times, sustained as a Represen tative in Congress from tiie city of New York, thus going directly in the face of his vote and his voice, but it adopts the Copperhead cry and assumes the Cop perhead uniform with an ease that shows how well it has learned the tricks, and how naturally it was pre pared for their associations, But this is not- all. It absolutely enters into a eulogium of the disgusting diatribe of President Johnson on the 22d of Febru : ary, gloating over and repeating its vul garisms, an effusion from which even the New York Dost (after fully sup porting the veto) recoiled with disgust, so enchants the limes that it loses its self-possession aud attacks such of its contemporaries as do not follow its lead. Mr. Raymond ought to warn his editors against such bluuders. He is, of course, master of his own newspaper, and of his own actions, and can degrade himself at his own will and pleasure; but he should take care not to complain if his neighbors, unenvious of his example, refuse also to befoul themselves. Now J. D. Cox it may be, as the Times says, that the editor of this journal has cast his lot among the radicals. We freely admit to having made every effort within our power to conciliate Andrew Johnson and to save him from the fate he so Bteadily provoked—the fate of complete surrender to the Copperheads and the returned rebels. To avoid this catas trophe, we have spared no exertions — going even to the verge of offending those earnest men who Tong ago, with a better knowledge of his character, doubted his truth and suspected his sincerity; and if we have taken our stand with the radicals, let us thank God that we have adopted the course which has been adopted by millions of our countrymen. When Andrew John son became President of the United States, these men believed him to be too earnestand too ready to take vengeance upon the traitors, and were anxious that he Bhould pursue a more moderate JPJMBER 9 square of ten lines; ten per cent, increase for fractions of a_yesr« heal estate, p***o*ixpitamrrT,and geei xral Advertising, 7 cents a line for the first, and 4 cents for each enbeeaoent Inser tion. • .

But now, taught by his treach ery to his voluntary committals, by his persecution of his nearest frieiuls, and by his complicity with the enemies of his country, they reallzq that there is no other course but to adopt the meas ures of the radical statesmen of the day. The New York Times pursued precisely our course up to the period of the- President’s veto of a bill for which the editor voted in the House. Called upon, at that moment, to choose betwecu going with the eurnest men of the country —between acting with the great major ities In Congress—between responding to tli© wishes of the loyal millions--be tween yielding to the voicein fact of the Republican party and Joining the Cop perheads in their slanders upon these majorities, and upon the clear expecta tion of its party, the Time# chooses the latter alternative, and is now as ac tive an ally or the sympathizers with treason as the New York World and the New York News. It is true the Times pretends to uct within the Union lines. Like many another impostor during the war, it wears the uniform of the Republic and acts with its euemies. We can appreciate, if we cannot sympathize wftn that journal, when we notice how happy it is iu its congenial Copperhead associations. The attempt to class the editor of the Press aud Cf/ironidc among the slanderers of Audrew Johnson is a fair proof of the disreputable charaeterlsticsof the IHmes. Itself hand-and-glove with the constant and eonscieueelessdefaiuersof Abraham Lincoln aud Andrew Joliusou, all through the rebellion, down to the assassination of the first and to the ele vation to the Presidency of the latter, we are denounced, because, when An drew Johnson joined himself, like the Tinu s , to these same defuiuersaud slan derers, as one of his friends and suppor ters, we will not unite with him and the Times in this utter iufamy ! Is it any wonder, when a nmn like Gov. Ray- , mond falls from his high estate and be-/ comes the tool of such profligacy as this, that even his former enemies turn away from him with loathing ? l etter from ” Occasional.” Washington, 1). (J., Feb. 27, 1800. The interview between President Johnson and the new Governorof Ohio, General J. I). Cox, printed this morn- ing in ail the newspapers, is the last and the clumsiest feat of Andrew Johnson. It is only useful as one of numerous con versations between Mr. Johnson and those credulouscltizens who believed ho was sincere when lie pledged his word to the fulfilment of certain distinct obli gations, ami who discovered their mis take when lie coolly forgot or deliberately denied that to which he was solemnly bound. There is hardly a loyal states man in Congress who cannot draw from Ilia own experience confirmation of this humiliating statement. Beginning with Andrew Johnson's public denunciation of treason, which committed him to as specific a pledge as ever was made by mortal nmn, and ending with his very last assault upon the leading men in Congress, almost his eutire Presidential career is covered with the wrecks of violated faith, individual und national. I saw Major George Stearns, of Boston, last evening, whose celebrated inter view with the President in regard to the colored races of the South, specific and detailed, will never be forgotten by the American people. It was hailed witli ecstatic gratitude, because it seemed to them to be the sure pre cursor of justice to the freedmen, and of union and strength among the friends of the Republic. Major Stearns, like General Cox, took his con versation, after he had written it out, back to Andwrew Johnson, read it to him, and obtuined his eminent to Its publication as an authorized version of a well-considered understanding be tween the Executive and a free people, on questions of surpassing moral and political importance. Now,that which was in fact an elaborate and blpding treaty, Is no more remembered by the President than if It had been signed and sealed in the days of the Pharoahs! I might add a volume ofsimllar instances. Not to revive his volunteered ussurances to the colored people of Tennessee that ho wophf be their Moses and would lead them into the promised land ; nor yet his osteutatious demand for the confiscation of the es tates of the rebels, and their division among the heroes of the republic; nor his hundreds of declarations of eternal hostility to Copperhead plots and poli ticians—all ot which are no more thought of than if they had been the babblings of idiocy. Who shall keep a record of the thousands of brokeu prom ises in reference to the distribution of his patronage among the members of the great Union party, to which that patronage oiearly belonged? There is hardly an earnest man in Congress who has not some story to relate. It is easy, therefore, to predict what will be the fate of the new promisewhich President Johnsonproposes In his interview with Governor Cox. The only thing real in the whole aflair is the malignant deter mination of the President to continue hiswaraga iustthe Congress of the Uni ted States. Another Address by President Johnson Washington, Feb. 28. This afternoon a committeeof gentle men from Philadelphia, under the aus pices of the James Page Libra ry Com pany, waited upon Pre dent Johnson to p resent the resolution of a meeting held on the 22d of February, approving the restoration policy of the Adminis tration, and the preisen position occu pied by the President.tsThe committee consisted of John A. Marshall, T. H. Hill, John A. Clark, J. P. Robinett, M. Heller, E. 8. Eyre, J. F. N. Snider, E. Fitzgerald and Dr. Joseph R. Coad. Mr. Marshall said the meeting which passed the resolutions was without dis tinction of party, and in the course of his speech remarked : “We will Btand by you, then, rather as conservative citizens than as partisans. We stand by you as Pen nsylvuDians, os Pennsyl vanians always stood by Andrew Jack son, never losin g faith in his honesty of purpose to do what was right and bis power to do it, and never to submit to what was wrong, und his ability to pre vent it.” The President responded as follows I beg leave simply to thank you for the kindness you have shown towards me and the encouragement you have given me by your approbation of my public policy, as it has been presented to the consideration of the country. I can only say, that I trust your confidence has not been misplaced, and I cau but point you to my past course and to my public promulgation of the principles by which I am guided, as an evidence of what my future course will be. It now behooves every man to apply him self diligently to the task of understand ing the real condition, the true remedy for aii existing evils, by a faithful obedi ence and enforcement of the Constitu tion and the law’s made in pursuance thereof. It has been an object to find a healing plaster coextensive with the wounds that are inflicted on the body politic— the nation We thought we had found it, and still thinking so, we shall pursue and persist in our policy uutil the result is accomplished, or it shall be de feated by a power over which we have nocontrol. I thankyou, gentlemen, for the approbation aud encouragement you have extended to me ou this occa sion, and I repeat that I hope and trust your confidence has not been misplaced. ' The various members of the commit tee were then introduced to the Presi dent, and retired, much pleased with their interview. 8. S. Cox, in his recent Bpeech at the Washington veto-ratification meeting, thu9 tersely stated the present political issues: “The conflict row is between bureaucracy and Democracy; between the rump and the executive; between State existence and State destruction; between Constitution and anarchy; be tween liberty ordered by lawandiiberty disordered by Radicalism; between Union and Disunion ; between perpet* ual peace and incessant agitation*’'
