Atamotrou news from Japan would seem to indicate an outbreak of the old hostility of the natives to foreigners, yet it is not be lieved that the acts of violence reported as 'having occasioned the flight of all the Euro peans from the new ports recently, opened, were anything more than accidental in their .

Who stood in solid rank-for its rights and.privi leges whilst the-heavy hand of prescription laid .witli crushing weight upon its aims and enterprises.

Monumental with the .Iron'City, and.afford ing a great commercial avenue, studded on, the Waysides with lands teething with _untold mineral Wealth; smiling in agricultural de velopment and richly fringed with Wasting timber, and forming a fresh continental ar tery for the circulation of trade • from the populous East to the - progressive I.'est - ancl South. Nor have the citizens of Baltimore been mere, onlookers. With .coramenda ble spirit they came forward and subscribed largely and generously to the new loan - thrown on the financial market by the corn . pany. In this action their prompt response might not have sprung froth pure feral pride so much as from their keen appreciation of it safe and remunerative investment:. But in either view their timely assistance is none the less commendable. , r . The Baltimore Ohio , ' Railroad Com pany. one of the Wealthiel4 and best man aged corporations• of the •characte.r in the country. has already manifested its interest in' the early completion of the road by a loan of one million dollars, or about one fourth of the entire sum required.

That it is to the decided interest of the Baltimore and Ohio road to form speedy connection with the Pittsburgh and Connellsville road, was made strikingly apparent in u recently de livered and able report of President GAII RE.TT; of the former corporation.

It - seems to be 'towed that the . President purposes meeting the charges of the peachment Committee by procmstination. The counts of, the indictment upon: - which he is to be tried have been pretty well known since impeachment was first resolved. upon. There, IS but little controversy as to facts. No intricate points of law or conflicts of tes timbny are likely to be presented.. There is no reason why the trial should not proceed - at Once. No more time is needed for the preparation of his defense, and if his only ,anxiety has been throughout what he pro fesses that it haS been, to test .thc C Onstitu; tionality of law, and ascertain:' exactly what authority the Constitution confers - upon him, he ought to use every: effort to hasten the trial, and, have the controversy set at rest. But,' far from doing this, he resorts to every legal' ouibble to postpone the issue. We haVe all tilong deprecated undue haste in this important affair. We have urged that both partleisliortld have ample time for preparation, so that no one need :-.ereafter accuse its of acting ., in'the heat of passion, But the.'PreSident 'Ought not to abuse the Popular patience.. . The line of defense . has chosen—to cavil, object, delay, until the nation grows weary and abandons the whole project-is . a -proof in itself that he richly deserves removal, If he has his way, the eonntry- will be kept for Months— perhaps till, the end of his term—in the_ most unfortunate of conditions. Look at the result- of his conduct! The Government is ini chaos. , There are two officers claim , ing .to be Secretary or War, each asserting the right , to direct the operations 'bf_ one Of the most important of the executive depart ' ments. The army is probably divided in its-judgement whom it ought to obey. Now Mi. Johnson is trying to secure the presence in - Washington of some prominent General - who will be his partisan is any case, and whose reputation may secure the adhesion of a good portion of the rank and file. This is a situation fraught with teadly peril. An I accident, a mere _trifle, an iml,-)rudent word, may whelm us in anarchy. It is the duty of the President to put an end V) the suspense from which all this danger springs. He has only to meet his trial boldly and promptly. We have given him- all the time he needs, and the Senate will weigh the charges with the calmness and deliberation which ought to be eXpected from such an august tribunal. But no . legal technicalities or subterfuges 'must be invoked to stave off the trial, and the more air. Johnson resorts to them the stronger proof will he give of his bad faith. I Let there be justice, but let justice have .1 wings. -7. I" Tribune. , 1111r.thapc,ana the Democriey., The following is translated frOni the:Radi cal Washingten correspondence, of the . 1111; nois Stants - Zeitung: I . Such leading-_spiritS of the. Democratic MParty as Jerry 'Black, Ward Lamon, ontgomery Blair and :others have done their utmost to make a friend )t• 31r. Chase.. They promised him the support of the whole . Demeeraev if he would consent to become I candidate for the Presidency. I haVe - heard Charley Eldridge, the Very wildest *Copper } head in the whole HouSe, say that he would . note for phase, in order defeat Grant, and, the Democrats in.genend are willing to give Chase the Democratic nomination, if he will ! only prove to be a decent man in the recort• struction businego and in the 3lcArdle case. But there is another reason for-all this. The Democrats of New England, New York and Pennsylvania are the sworn enemies of Pendleteri and Of -his platform, At the :beginning, they thought Johnson, or judge Field, or - Gen: Di3t- or Hancock might do to kill Pendleton with. They are now aware that neither:La them. will do, and they hope to kill. Grant and Pendleton , alike with • Prize Fighting in Ohio. The Ohio Legislature, whatever. may - be thought of some of its recent actions upon political- matters, has acted sensibly in passing a severe law against prize fighting, and providing for heavy- penalties in prisorimentsandfiaes. Several other States have' passed . laws within the past year, and, if the laws previously in force had been carefullY expeuted, there would certainly have been ritual less - Prize fighting than there has been. The passage of a strin gent law will 'not of itself eradicate an evil, but'is only one step toward it, and must be followed up -with vigorous enforcement. Laws are good for nothing unless they are faithfully executed, and if, those States that' ' , have taken so strongground in. their statutes against the barbarism . prize fighting shall. take eqUally strong ground in their courts of justice, we may hope to, see this rapidly growing evilchecked, if not entirely crushed out. ; . , DANA'S analysis of President Johnson is so accurate as to beworth reproducing. Mr. Johnson Is, he say 4, in common phrase, "a blower." He is conceited, opinionated and self-willed; is as ready to take affront ,as a bull in the gladiator ring when the scarlet flag is flaunted in his face. Like Misa Dom bey's dog he is always isirking at some imaginary foe foe around the, corner. In con- versation he is loud, loquacions, presuming, pugnacious; never listens to the other side; wags, his head and says to the man he is button-holing and boring, "You agree with me in this," nods significantly, and declares to his silent and weary auditor, "We un dersiand each other on this point." 'ln fine, he is - one of those ill-bred, - coarse-grained, thick-skinned - sort of men who, at the end of a long interview, wherein he has talked at you rather than with you, leaves you with the full belief that you have concurred with ads statements, because you did not fiercely and in words give him : the lie; and that you have made sundry,promises to him, because, in response to hiipropositions, you did notrise, from your chair arid knock him down. , , --Accounts from New Hampshire rem': sent the Democracy terribly They by their defeat at the polls.. They arc not only astounded at their defeat, but many of then', more earnest, active men are .intensely en- raged at their leaders for deceiving them in the way they did.

The evening Deinocratic paper hive has caused some little talk, to-night, by urging the 'claims of 'Chief Justice Chase as the Democratic nominee for the Presidency.— "Washington Dispatch.' Both .evening and morning- Copperhead papers iniVashingtort have fallen desper atelY in love with Chief Justice Chase since the House of Representatives took steps to impeach Johimm. All at once they have discovered that he would make a capita "conservative" candidate for President, to run against Grant. They havb baited their' hook with a "fly," supposed to represent a Copperhead Presidential uoinination, and are floating it under the nose of the Chief Justice, hoping that he maytite. A sim ilar "fly" was floated before the eyes of ,General Hancock. He bit greedily, com mitted himself to coppprheadiam, forfeited his position with all Union men, and is now a caught codfish, with no more chance of getting the Copperhead nomination than has his boot-black.

I Some people think tha Chronic Dyspepsia may be cured by exercise and diet -alone. This is a Mis take. The stomach must be_ stimulated and regula ted, and the liver and the discharging organs put In good working ordeybefore a cure can be effected. Such to the operation of rIOSTETTER'S BITTERS. Many:persons fancy that Fever and; Aerie can be. avoided by adopting unusual precautions against damp and cold. Never was there a greater fallacy. There Is no absolute safeguard against , malarious maladies. except HOSTETTER'S pITTERS. "To'brice the frame...and make it agoe-Preef. Ts keep the causes of disease aloof." There is nothing like' this genial vegetable litrigo= rant. So. too. In cases where there is a predisposi tion to biliousness: the constitutional tendency is combated and held in check by the alternate action of the BITTERS.' Dlet and regimen are powerful allies of judicious . medical :treatment when the preservation of health in insalubrious localities Is the object in view; but they ,will notanswer the desired end alone. Use themes aids to the BITTERS..but do not rely upon the efficacy of any formula that does not include this admirable tonic. _ The BITTERS consist of an unadulterated vegetable essence (unrii - alled among stimulants.) medicated solely with herbs and roots Of acknowledges' virtue a$ tonics. It is agreeable to fist taste and perfectly harmless.. Even to chil dren of delicate constitutions it may be given with perfect impunity. • In fact, with these, •as with . those of older growth, its wonderful recuperant properties are at once apparent.
