Gov. BLOM AND PEISEDINT JOHNSON.--
The Look Haven Democrat, edited by Hy.
L. Diegenbach, Esq., a gentleman rwhese
character for veracity is too well known
to be disputed by any respectable member
of•the press, contains the following highly
suggestive and interesting paragraph It
is the most reliable statement we have yet
seen itt reference to the position of Presi
dent Johnson, and will gladden the hearts
of sU true lovers of the Union
Gov. Bigler of this State, paid a visit to
Washington a few days since, and had a
long interview with the President. The
Governor and the President are old
friends, and were Senators together, an d,
as the record proves, voted together in
favor of the Crittenden compromise and
all other publio questions tending to peace.
We are glad to learn that Gov. Bigler was i cor-
Gally received by President John4on, and that
their views harmonize.
Born England and France appear to
feel considerable. uneasiness concerning
the disposition toward them of the Ameri
can Government and the Ameriaen pert;
pie. The language of the - two Govern
ments is anything but defiant. Both are
now paying us more compliments during
one month than, they have done during
the whole four years of the war. Both re
present their relations to the Government
of the United States as most amicable, but
endeavor in vain to calm the apprehen
siloos of• di.. public.
Lord Palmerston, being asked in the
House of Commons whether a new de
mand of indemnity for the depredations
committed by the Alabama had been re
ceived from Washington, gave an evasive
suewer. lie' only said that new corres
pondence had taken place between the
two Governments, from which reply every
one, of course, inferred that the demand
of indemnity had been renewed.
In France, Louis Napoleon has deemed
it necessary to rebuke his radical cousin
tor the speech made at Ajaccio, and espe-
cially for that portion of it which refers to
American affairs. It is no secret in France
that the dissatisfaction with the continued
occupation of Mexico by French troops is
on the increase. The Frenchmen Irv.- -
that every independent n•- -
as well as thee- _ e ar of Europe,
own common sense tell
MCI
-.in, that in case of a war between
France and the 'United States, France
could not even make an attempt to hold
Mexico. Whatever may be the motive of
the speech of Prinee Napoleon, there can
be no doubt that it will powerfully aid the
opposition. to the Mexican expedition.

This celebrated Abolitionist, once the
candidate of that faction for President,
has arrayed himself on the side of mercy
towards the South, and as usual with his
class is as energetic in the advocacy of his
theory as he is earnest in believing it. It
is a strange fact, and one that most people
will find it difficult to explain, that nearly
all the men who: have taken the lead in
the abolition movement, and, who pre -vi
cue to the war were moat violent in their
anathentas against :the South, are now
among the advocates of a liberal, ma,g
dinimous policy toward the defeated peo
ple of that section. We need only call to
the recollection of our readers the ex
tracts we have printed from the speeches
and writings of Messrs. Phillips, Greeley
and Smith to convince them of the cor
rectness of what we assert. They do ilob
pretend to'deny the guilt of the Sottt) . .. ern '
leaders, or the right of the Gove rnment
to glplish;:them, but tatirig-',h . e stand
point of public policy, thev'i xte k epee the
adoption of 118•00 mikasure, es cer t a i n to
prolong the hatred . engendered during
the war, create bi ° .ier divisions in the
South, and nre ,

harmony
A real Union.
NOTWITHSTANDING the toadyism of some
of the press in trying to convince the pub
lic that military is much better than civil
law, the sense of right and justice in the
Government urges it rapidly towards the
• restoration of civil rule. What was adopt
ed as a necessity in time of war, is now,
in peace, very properly regarded as a dan
gerous anomaly in good government, and
to be removed as speedily as possible out
• of the - way of the regular action of our
courts of law.
__The country is talking of a general com
memoration of the restoration of the
Anion on the. next anniversary of Ameri
can independence. The highest and
noblest commemoration will be the entire
restoration of civil rule, and the_end of
military interference with civil law. The
habeas corpus, the right of bail in baila
ble offences, prosecution on oath before a
civil magistrate, public trial by jury, are
the inheritances of freedom and thcfoun
dations of republican government. With
out these the restoration of the - Union is
not a'restoration of the republic.
AN ABBURD ARGUYINT.—The most popu

virtue of their having served in the army,
black blood is more paivileged than

The deit,ao.l for the Second Series of

with sufficient rapidity to fill the orders.
It will be remembered that a hundred
million, were 'subscribed and paid for in
a single week. The printing presses have
filially surmounted the difficulty and on
Wednesday, June 7th, the deliveries of
the Third Series oommenced, and will be
continued with the same promptness that
marked the supply of the notes of the
first and second series. It hai been this
interruption of delivery at the time of

that after this week the daily subscrip

into millioce , as they will undoubtedly be
stimulated by the opening of the farmers'

at all likely that the Government will
ever again offer so desirable a security as
these notes ; and about two hundred mil

With the close of the war the nitional

The assaults on Gen. Sherman and bia
army still continue in the extritne Aboli
tion press, 'and, so far as we have seen,

Gen. McClellan, the noble servioto:

A sample of the sort o*. abuse they indulge
in may be, seen the following extract

Waininoron, June 8,1863.
-en. Sherman has left the capital and
' d one westward toward his new field of
dutY. I am oonvinoed that Gen. Sherman
never had an anti-slavery sonviotion in
his life. Be was a pro-slavery man, sad,
to all intents and purposes, la so today.
Doubtless he acquiesces in the overthrow
of slavery, as Vallandigkana does. But
he believes slavery right enough in itself,
and thinks the North was greatly to blame
in irritating the South by the agitation of
this question in past years.
Sherman's army is, In many respects,
like himself---brave, patriotio, but nesro=
hating. Most of the troops under the im
mediate command of Gen. Sherman seem
to hate the black man. This feeling has
.exhibited itself in various ways in this
city. Sherman's troops, while here, got
into frequent quarrels with colored men.
On one occasion a serious fight seemed
imminent, but was averted by getting two
or three obnoxious colored men out of
the way. It• perhaps would be polite to
cover up these facts ; but as they natural

the ottangra circumstances* ot
try require a corresponding ot►ang.* of
tone. While there was war there was
some propriety in the Uie of exasperating
language towards the , enemies of the na
tion, and to paint Heir crimes in . the
darkest panible colors was at least natur
al, though we doubt if there was a time
during the war when the people needed
to be inspired with hatred in order to
fight well for the Union. Bat now the
war is over; the rebel armies have sur
rendered, and are disarmed and disband
ed; the whole South lies powerlesti at our
mercy; what do we want now f The work
to be done by Christien patriotism is to
bind up the bleeding woueda ot the na
tion-and assuage the animosities bred by
civil strife We want true union and con
cord in the quickest possible time and by
such means as will make these blessings
perpetual * . Are these ends to be gained
by reproaches and invotives ; by pro
longing the spirit and the evils of war
after the war itself has terminated ? There
can be but one answer to these questions.
Our soldiers uuderstand this. They
show no animosity toward the rebels they
nave conquered. On the contrary,. they
fraternise at once with them. and conquer
theta the second time br kindness. There
is not one of our fighting Generals who
counsels hateh and vindictive measures
towards the subjugated. It takes a °Ra
bin in epaullettes to do it, and only those
who have watched the War at a great - dis
tance echo the cry for vengeance. If the
people of the South could understand the
real feeling in the North they would he
re-assured, There is no such spirit of ven
geance here as is indicated by some of the
newspapem. They are mere echoes of the
echo of the War Department, which has,
not yet learned that we have entered upon
an era of peace. Treason will be punished,
but not in - any spirit of vengean ee or
bloodthirstiness. The Government has
the chief instigators of the rebellion in its
hands. They will be calmly and deliber
ately. tried ; they will be condemned •

That accomplished,
not a life wil i & be taken for vengeance, or
to satisfy abstract notions of justice. And
as to the people of the South onerally.
the Government will bejrnagnanimmus and
generous. The people of the North will
not permit it to be otherwise.
An exchange, rejoicing over the end of
the war, closes its editorial with the-fol
lowing sentiments. They will be warmly
endorsed by everybody :. •
It is perfectly safe to say, that the vari
ous provost marshals' otilces of this State,
and elsewhere, have witnessed more dis
gusting dickers in human flesh than ever
disgraced any slave mart in the South.
We are heartily glad they are to be abut

ofi woman ( known among the soldiers ' as
"red-headed May,) while in the vicinity of

they were stopped by the soldier and tousle,
and stripped of their •wearing apparel, and

their way to Mr. Lonekridge's, where they
were supplied with sacking and to whose

A Law MOWIXTB WITH' 0111111RAL GRANT.—
The reserve anal stoicism which, to the casual
observer, seem to characterize Gen.• Giant,
disappear when one listens to his conversa
tion. lie is frank, direct and positive in his
statements, and superior to all disingeniotis
nem. &pleasant twinkle in his eye lights up
his festarewethen be speaks, and he impresses
one as akindly-hearted, yeileoided man. lie
pommies a large share of that. personal mag
netism which confers power of control, but
neither byword nor look does be manifest the
slightest conseiouttness of this subtle and irret
sistible power. Next to that tenacity of pur
pose to which the eountry ewes so much, his
most striking characteristic is his sincerity
and earnestness. Without those brilliant
qualities of mind wide& make amen a popular
leader, he has largely developed the rarer
qualities of "decision and a sense of justice,
which render power safe. in his hands. •
One incident in the conversation with the
party of Buffalo gentlemen who accompanied
him to Silver Creek, yesterday; illustrates the
nobility of his character. The enthusiastic)
crowds which greet his appearance it every
station were commented upon, when General
Grant remarked that he liked to see the peo
ple so well satisfied that the work of war was
over; that he did not appropriate any of the
enthusiasm to himself, but interpreted it to
be the expression of the popular joy that
Peace and Union were restored ; and that the
only thing remaining to be done was to res
tore the civil authorities and bury the war
snd ita memories cut. of sight. This is not
the language of an ambitious General, but of
a tree American, whose devotion tb democratie
prieoiples and le the beet interests of the
country outweighs all other ._considerations,
and makes him not only willing - lltd anxious
to see his military laurels, Co proudly won,
faded and forgotten.
General Grant expressed the opinion that
the rebellion was thoroughly extinguished ;
that, while it would be necessary to hold the
arrogant class in the South in check until the
civil governments were th'oroughly establish.
ed, no danger was to be apprehended from
the middle classes or the men who composed
the rebel armies. The influence of both Gea-•
eras Lee and Johnston, be said, was exerted
to induce the Southern people to accept the
result of the war, in a becoming spirit, and to
aid in re-establishing law and order. The
tfeaeral spoke hopefully et the condition of
affairs both at the North and the South.
