THE DVPI.ICITV OP THE JOHNSON LEAD
ERS.
We have seen in our day a good deal of
party jugg ery and a good many devices
concocted by partisan leaders to deceive the
masses of the people, but we have witness
ed nothing that surpasses the anxiety, the
labor and devices of the JOHNSON organs
and leaders to deceive each other, and the
public, in regard to the standing of the
President with the union voters of the na
tion. In one place it is asserted that all
the people are for JOHNSON and " my poli
cy." In another "nearlyall." In the third,
" with few exceptions," and in the last
place it is held "that a few may be found
who oppose the restoration measures of
JOHNSON," and thus the sentiments of the
people in the four cardenal points ol the
country, are held to be devotedly, nay en
thusiastically, attached to the President.
That, however, which is a little marvellous
about this busiuess, is the lact, that while
this boasting is going on among the ad
herents of "my policy,"—and this is con
fined to the office-expectants and democrats
—there are many grave charges about
Congress misleading the honest voters. If
all the people are supporting JOHNSON, how
can they be under theinfiuence ol Congress?
Why too, if the patriotic masses are siding
with the President, is there such an anxie
ty to get up meetings in his favor, and so
many, and such bold falsehoods in respect
to their size and enthusiasm ? If the peo
ple are all for JOHNSON, for whose eyes are
these immense and spirited meetings her
alded forth in glowing capitals ? Some
body is to be influenced by them, and pray
who is it, if the people are all right al
ready ? AL, Messrs, Democrats and Com
pany, "your zeal o'erleaps your discretion,'
and the weakness of your cause is plainly
seen through the flimsy gause behind which
you act. It will not do. The people are
not caught in that way ; and it has been
tried tin hundredth time, and the hundredth
time it has disappointed the knaves who
It is a wonder too, that sooid a politician
as JOHNSON is, should rely 011 such shallow
devices. He must know their entire worth
lessuess : or, is he blinded by the infatua
tion that he is the greatest man living, or
his rage ? He is following, as near as the
circumstances of the case will admit, in the
footsteps of JOHN TYLER, the worst used
up man that ever left the Presidency of the
United States, except JAMES BUCHANAN ; and
how did JOHN TYLER ruin himself so com
pletely ? By taking counsel from demo
crats, and making war on those who had
elected him to the position he held. lie
vetoed the party measures just as JOHNSON
IS doing. lie quarreled with the leaders of
his party in Congress. He used his patron
age to defeat the measures ot the party,
and injure its leaders. He called around
him those who had opposed his election and
abused him without stint. He subsidised
with the government patronage the " con
servatives and their papers"—and they
were as numerous then as now—and these
bought-up interests, lavished abuse without
incisure on CLAY, BUTTS, and others of that
class, whom the President could not control.
All this while the democratic press was
profuse, lavish of its fulsome adulations of
JOHN TYLER for his manly independence of
those who made him what he was, just as
the same press is now doing with JOHNSON.
They made him believe he would be re-elec
ed, aud the greatest of all the Presidents ;
and when they had done using him, and
got fr 111 him all they could, they dropt him
like a hot potato, and laughed at him for
his folly. This same game is being played
with poor JOHNSON, to the country's injury,
! and his own disgrace. History is repeating
j itself, and instead of one, the country is to
have two Presidents who defeated the
measures on which they were elected, earn
ing for themselves infamy by their base be
trayal.
THE REIGN OF TERROR IN THE SOUTH.—Com
mercial men traveling in the South, write
to their friends in various parts ol the North,
that the condition of business is at a dis
cotiraging ebb, and that every dollar now
owed by merchants in the late rebel States,
! will be repudiated until its election is forced
i by the military authority of the National
j Government. In Tennessee, Alabama,Mis
| sisippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas,the
magistrates and police forces in every town-
I ship and city, are composed entirely of ex
rebels or those who sympathized with the
rebellion. With the local authority thus in
the hands of the men who have engaged in
an armed conflict with the National Gov
ernment, citizens who were Union men are
treated as traitors. In fact, in the regions
named there are 110 traitors except those who
would not participate in the fight for the
Confederacy. Andrew Johnson is busy par
doning rebels, but we have yet to learn of
a rebel in the South who has pardoned a
Southern Union man. The rebels who were
lately in arms openly nurse their hate of
the North, boldly declare that no man can
live in peace in the South who refused to
fight for the Confederacy. This feeling now
renders life and property insecure in every
Soutlieru State, while the security afforded
by the army is beiug weakened by the re
moval of officers who believe in making
treason odious.
Without the authority of law Presi
dent Johnson, among his earliest acts of
reconstruction, ordered the sale of Govern
ment railroads and railroad runuing stock,
iron and materials to au enormous amount
to Southern men, on credit; he directed the
(Quartermasters in charge to turn over the
property, and take the purchasers' notes,
payable monthly, up to two years ; the val
ue of the property thus nominally sold, but
in reality given away, was probably $200,-
000,000. Of course the notes, as they fell
due, were not paid, and it was never inten-1
ded I hey should be paid. They are under'
protest here to millions. The Government
holds chat '" mortgages on property, all in
Rebel hand ; that has been consumed in
large part ; in part has changed bauds :
and the balance of which is used in defiant
disregard of the contract of purchase. The
l'resideut refuses to permit proceedings to
compel payment, or to recover possession
of any portion of this immense amount of
the public property.
THE MEMPHIS RIOTS. —The Secretary o!
War has sent to the House, in compliance
with a resolution of that body, the report of
General Stoneman relative to the recent
Memphis riots. The latter says that upon
investigation by the commission,it appears
there were killed out-right twenty-four ne
groes, eight of whom were discharged sol
diers. The 3d colored artillery had been
stationed at Memphis since its organization
and consequently were not under the best
jof discipline. Large numbers of the men
had what they call families living in South
Memphis, contiguous to the fort in which
the soldiers were stationed.
These soldiers had been used as the in
strumeuts to execute the orders of Govern.
ment agents, such as provost marshals, bu
reau agents, etc., and consequently had
been more or less brought directly in con.
tact with the law-breaking port ion of the
community, and the police, which is far from
being compo ted of the best class of resi
dents here, but principally of Irishmen,who
consider the negro as his competitor and
his natural enemy. Many negro soldiers
have,from time to time,been arrested by the
police, and many whites, including some of
j the police, have been arrested by the negro
soldiers, and in both cases those arrested
; have not unfrequently been treated with a
harshness altogether unnecessary.
After giving the particulars of the riot,
General Stoneman concludes by saying :
''The rioters were composed of the police,
firemen and rabble, and .eg ro-haters in
general, with a sprinkling of Yankee ha"
tors, all led on and encouraged by dema
' gogttes and office-hunters,and most of them
under the influence id whisky." It appears
in evidence before the commission that
(hf glc ii. r .••infer of tin- city, made a
| speech to the rioters, in w vrii he said :
| ''We are not prepared, but. let its pupate
1 to clear every negro s—of a It—out of
town." Very few paroled confederates
were mixed up with the rioters on Tues
day and Wednesday, the large portion be
i ing registered voters. Who commenced
j the iucendarism on Wednesday night re
| mains to be developed.
EUROPEAN EXCITEMENT
Late foreign dispatches show the old
| world is in great trouble. A fiiuyieial.pan
! ic has suddenly sprung up in England not
I exceeding in intensity by any that has pre
i vailed since 1825. The causes are not ful
ly obvious, for foreign news of the week
previous, though recording an increased
stringency in the money market, seemed to
anticipate no such serious results us have
followed. But probably the steady depre
ciation in the prices of most commodities
for the last four or five months, with heavy
losses in particular branches, and the in
creasing perplexities in continental afi'airs,
have been chiefly influential in bringing on
the panic, which is said —as is always said
of such crises—to have "no solid founda
tion." But the end had not been reached at
the date of the last, advices, though the
crisis in London was fought to have been
passed.
With this uncertainty as to the precise
nature and extent of the panic in England
it is impossible to say what its effect will
be here The rise in gold which has alrc-ady
occurred was, of course, inevitable. The
preliminary state of alfairs had tended to
that, for specie has for some time been so
urgently caked for by foreign bankers to
strengthen their position, that nearly nine
millions of gold were shipped from New
Yoik last week. It was thought that this
would give adequate relief abroad ; but
now the prospect is uncertain. But with
our present information we have no reason
to regard the English panic, or its effects
here, otherwise than temporary and of lim
ited extent. The homeward current of our
live-twenties is also liable to be still furth
er checked by the disposition of the holders
of other securities in Europe to resort to
these, which cannot he affected by the hos
tilities now likely at any moment to break
out.
In regard to this latter source of Euro
pean trouble, it can only be said that tin
prospect grows more gloomy every day.—
Prussia, Austria and Italy have entered up
on a course of mutual irritation,from which
they seem to have but little ability or dis
position to recede. The whole future ap
parently depends upon the restraining in
fluence of England, France and Russia,that
is, when narrowed down to the actual facts
of the case, upon the course of Louis Na
poleon. This man is the arbiter of Europe.
Ilis recently avowed detestation of the
treaties of 1815 has not a very soothing
sound ; but if, in consequence of it, he can
bring about his long-cherished project of a
European Congress, peace will probably be
preserved; if not,the chances are heavily in
favor of war.
The following deserved tribute to
our Member of Congress we fiud in the
Montour American :
" Among the most faithful of the Penn
sylvania members, in adherence to the po
litical policy of his party, and to the wish
es of his constituents, and attention to the
minutia- which make up the duties of a
member of Congress, stands the member
from your District—Hon. U. MERCUR. Be
ing a thorough and discriminating lawyer,
whose ability has passed sufficient tests, by
his elevation to, and administration of the
President Judgeship of his Judicial District,
to entitle him to the commanding position
and influence which he enjoys here ; he is
at once classed among the leading and
most influential members of the present
Congress, prudent, he has not weakened
his influence by over much talk ; yet, his
words in the right place, have done much
in shaping the legi lation of the present
session, and every evidence indicates that
before the close of the present Congress,
he will become one of the foremost leading
men of the House."
tesT Anton Probst, the murderer of the
Deering family at Philadelphia, will be ex?
ecuted in that city 011 Friday of the present
week. It is said that 110 special change is
noted in his demeanor.
DEATH OF LIEUT. GEN. SOOTT-
Lieut. Gen. WINKIEI.D SCOTT died i. West
Point a little alter 11 o'clock Tuesd;-2 morn
ing. Few Americans will hear without
emotion the announcement of the death of
one who in years past has deserved so well
of his country ; although, infirm as he had
been for a long while, the news does not
come upon us with the shock of a surprise.
\Vinfield Scott was horn in Petersburg,
Ya., June 13, 1786, and consequently at
the time of his death lacked only two
weeks of the age of 80. He was the grand
sou of an adherent of the Pretender, who
llred to America from the field of Culloden,
and the son of Captain William Scott, an
officer of the army of the Revolution. He
was educated at William and Mary College,
and after having devoted a short time to
legal studies, removed to Charleston, with
the intention of practicing there as a law
yer. But the war with Great Britain was
then imminent, and when hostilities seem
ed on the eve of breaking out, young Scott,
who once before on a similar alarm had
ridden 25 miles by night an soon as heard
a cry for volunteers, and appeared on par
ado the next morning in borrowed uniform
in the ranks of a dragoon regiment, threw
down his books and hastened to Washing
ton to ask for a commission. In April,
1808, a bill passed Congress authorizing
the increase of the Regular Army by the
addition of eight new regiments, and on
the 3d of the next month Scott was ap
pointed a Captain in one of them—the light
artilery.
The war came at last, in 1812, and Capt.
Scott was promoted to the rank of lieut.
j colonel, and ordered to the Niagara fron
tier. Here he witnessed his first battle—
; the affair of Queenstown Hights—where
I he commanded on the field during the latter
j part of the day, and greatly distinguished
himself. In the Spring of 1813 he returned
! to the frontier, with the rank of colonel and
| the position of chief of staff to Gen. Dear
: born. He commanded the American forces
j which captured Fort George, on the 27ih
j. .f May, when he was severely wounded.
He shared in the abortive frontier campaign
of "That unprincipled imbecile" (as be used
t<> call him, ) Wilkinson, and when that was
over, was sent, with the rank of brigadier
general, to command a camp of instruction
jat Buffalo. The value of his labors in this
: place was strikingly displayed at the battle
!of Chippewa, July 4, 1814, when, after a
long series of disasters, the American arms
aincd a victory. sin.ill in itself, but most
imp utant in its moral < fleet. In this en
gagement, as well as in the well-fought
buttle <>l Lundy's L ine, about three weeks
afterward, Scott had a gallant and promi
nent share. In the latter action he was
twice \v mndetl. He was immediately hre
\ i lb d M tjur-Gi la ral, and Congress ordered
a gold medal to be presented to him in tes
timony of their appreciation of his distin
guished services, "and of his uniform gal
lantry and good conduct in sustaining the
reputation of the arms ol the I nited States."
He was offered the post of Secretary of
War, but declined it. The peace which
soon ensued gave him an opportunity to
visit Europe, where he saw Paris during
the allied occupation, and made many dis
tinguished acquaintances. With the ex
ception of the publication of his "General
Regulations for the Army" in 1825, undone
or two personal quarrels with Gen. Jack
son aud others, which fortunately did not
lead to hostile meetings, lie did nothing to
bring himself much before the public until
the outbreak of the Black Hawk war in
1832, when he was sent to the West in
command of an army, but had no opportun
ity of fighting. During the nulification
troubles he commanded in Charleston. The
hostilities with the Seminole Indians in
Florida began in 1835, and Scott was or
dered to the theatre of war, but was soon
recalled and sent to the Creek country.
His campaign here too was brief, and was
closed by a court of inquiry, which decided
fully in his favor. He attributed the sum
moning ol tins court to the personal enmity
of Gen. Jackson. In 1841 he became
General-in-C' ief, on the death ot General
McC'ornb.
The Mexican war opened in May, 1846,
with the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca
de la l'aUna, followed by those of Monterey
and Buc-na Vista, in September and Febru
ary- -all won by Gen. Taylor. It was evi
dent after the storming of Monterey, that
hostilities, to be effective, must be carried
iuto the interior of Mexico, and a new line
of operations chosen, having the capitol for
its objective. Tii army for this task was
was placed under the command of Gen.
Scott, who landed at Vera Cruz with 12,-
000 men, March 0, 1847 ; captured the city
af'cr a bombardment <>f fifteen days ; and
on the Bth of April began his march toward
Mexico. The heights of Cerro Gordo,where
Santa Anna had thrown his army across
the American's path, where stormed with
magnificent gallantry on the 18th ; Jalapa
was taken on the 19th, Perote on the 22d,
and Puebla on May 15. Here Gen. Scott
was compelled to halt, and wait for rein
forcements until Aug. 7. At the beginning
"f September operations were resumed on
the S. \V. side of the city. The wooded
heights of Chapultepec, with the Molino
del Key and the Cusa Mata, were stormed
by Worth, (Jnitman and Pillow, September
13, and the same night the San Costue and
Beieii gates were carried after heroic fight
ing. The next morning the American
army entered the city in triumph, and the
war virtually at an end. The treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed March 2,
1848, and the troops soon afterwards evac
uated the capital, having won the esteem
of the citizens by their strict discipline and
orderly conduct.
The outbreak of the rebellion found Gen.
Scott still at the head of the army, but in
firm in health and no longer capable of di
recting an active campaign. But he was
frequently in consultation with the cabinet
and military authorities at Washington.
As early as October, 1860, he had urged
President Buchanan to garrison the South
ern forts, and he repeatedly begged leave
to send such troops as he could reach to
Charleston, Pensacola and Mobile harbors.
Our readers will remember the controver
sy on these matters which took place be
tween him and ex-president Buchanan some
time afterwards. On the 3d of March,
1861, he addressed a note to Mr. Seward a
note of advice, in which he urged him, as
the probable chief member of the new cabi
net, to throw off the old designation of Re
publicans and assume that of the Union
party ; to adopt the Crittenden Compro
mise, and to collect the import duties out
side the ports of which the government had
lost the command, or else to blockade them.
He wanted no war in any case, and con
cluded with these words : " Say to the
seceded States—'Wayward sisters, depart
in peace.'"
On the 31st of October, 1861, having
been a cripple aud unable to walk without
assistance for three years, he retired from
the army, President Lincoln and all the
members of the cabinet waiting upon him
to bid him farewell. By special act on
congress he retained his full pay and air
lowanceß.
The general was a magnificent man
physically, of almost gigantic stature,
powerful aud well proportioned frame, and
dignified aspect. His stately manners in
clined now and then toward pomposity,
and his acknowledged greatness in his own
profession made him ofte i intolerent ; but
lie was universally respected for his ster
ling virtues no less than for his public ser
vices. He spoke his mind so freely about
people he disliked that he had enemies
everywhere, but private frieuds will never
be able to displace him from the exalted
position he holds in the respect and grati
tude of the American people.
Gen. Scott was married in 1810 to Miss
Mary Mayo, of Richmond, Va., who died in
Rome in 1802. There were seven children
by this marriage, of whom three daughters,
we believe, are still living.
FENIANH !
INVA SI O N OF CANA II A.
BUFFALO, Friday, June 1, 1800.
Notwithstanding the viligence ot the au
thorities in this region, the United States
steamer Michigan being under steam and
having her ports open, and the fact that I
the city is swarming with Canadian spies,
j several regiments of Fenians crossed over J
into Canada last night,including the troops
from Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana, a
regiment from Ohio, and a regiment from
! this city.
At this point they crossed in canal-boats, !
drawn l y tugs, and when uearing the Can
adiau side sent up wild Irish cheers, with
the green Hag floating
O'Neill, of the 13th Regiment, of
Nashville, is in command at Fort Erie.
A large number of persons are viewing
; the sight, from this shore.
Col. O'Neil threatened to bayonet a man
who attempted to appropriate to himself the
use of a large woolen shawl found in a pub
lic house.
The Fenians say that no depredations j
shall be permitted.
The approach of a mounted Fenian cans- ;
ed great terror and excitement among the |
passengers and crew of the International
j ferry-boat, to the merriment of lookers on ,
i upon the Buffalo side.
All the telegraph wires to Canada are cut
| on tho Canadian side except those via the
Suspension Bridge.
The agent of the Associated Press has left
for the scene of operations.
It is reported that the mail agent was
fired upon this morning as he was crossing
in a small boat.
The Fenians are reported marching to
ward the Suspension Bridge, 22 miles from
here
The latest accounts from the Fenian bat
tle ground, given Saturday, left the con
querors of Fort Eiie in a rather demora
lized, because unfed and unreenforced, con
dition. It appears, however, that at an
early hour on Saturday morning, having
burned the bridges at Frenchman's Creek
and Miller's Point, the whole force was put
in motion. They were pursued on the road-.
toward Port Colborne bv a party of Regu
lars, while another party of two companies
; occupied Fort Erie, and sent out skirmish
ers in all directions. Seven miles up the ;
lake,toward Port Colborne, near Ridgeway,
the Regulars came up with the Fenians
who were encamped in a bush. The col
umn at once attacked them, the " (Queen's !
Own" firing the first shot. The fight now ■
became general, the Volunteers driving the
Fenians. A number were killed on both
sides. The volunteers behaved splendidly,
rushing at the retreating Fenians with the
| utmost gallantry.
Of the forces engaged, there were about
j 800 Canadian volunteers and toward 1,000
I Fenians. One authority state that two of
the English troops were killed and a num
! her wounded,and that the Fenians suffered
to a greater extent. At all events, there
were about 00 taken prisoners nad carried
to Fort Erie. Auother account says : "The
Queen'B Own Company of volunteers came
upon the Fenians this morning near Ridge
