so?"? I*c!Icy. j
When thc people of tho Northern
States elected Mr. Lincoln for the se?
cond time, they were moved by a
happy impulse to choose as the second
magistrate of the country Andrew
Johnson. of.Tenuessee. The office of
vice-President is, in itself, of little
importance, and though on two former
occasions a vice-President has suc?
ceeded to the Government of the Re?
public through the death of his supe?
rior, we may presume that the expec?
tation of Mr. Johnson's accession to
the higher office was hardly present
to tho mind of any one of those two
millions of electors. Those who chose
him wished to pay a compliment to |
the most energetic and zealous of the j
few Southern men who hail remained
faithful to the Federal cause, and it j
may have seemed to them that by
electing -i Tennesseean they declared
emphatically the non-severance of a |
seceded State from the Union. But ]
the great crime of April last luis given
supreme power to the politician who !
otherwise would have filled for the !
nest t ?ur years the dignified, but pow- j
erless. office of President of the Se
nate. All parties were startled at this j
sudden change of men, and there were
probably few but the nibst extreme
who looked on it without alarm. Mr. !
Johnson must now receive the credit j
??I having disarmed groundless fears, j
and disappointed extravagant hopes, j
We cannot tell what thoughts have <
passed through his shrewd and euer- j
getic mind during those five months of \
unexpected mle-how rauch he may j
owe to the sobering responsibilities of ?
his high office-how much to the
counsels of two or three able men who I
have been schooled to government
amid the difficulties and calamities of !
..var-kow much to his own Southern !
extraction, and to the fellow-feeling j
which he avows for theseceders in |
everything but their secession. Put, ;
whatever the motives which influence |
his policy, the Americans have found
in Mr. Johnson an able and success?
ful magistrate. Mr. Lincoln is said to
have meditated in the last days cf his
Life large amnesty, and the restora?
tion of tue South to its due place in
the Union. When he fell, it was not
unnaturally thought in America that '
.-. sterner rule was to be instituted, and I
the zealots of the Ile] ml iii can party \
hastened to accept Mr. Johnson as :
their ! .?der, with the hope, perhaps, j
that they might use him as their tool, j
These expectations have, however, !
vanished. Within a month alter the !
President's accession to office, hi? !
leaning towards a mode rate policy bc- I
gan to appear, and though it was re
cci\vd with marked disappointment
by .i strong party of his own sup?
porters, the effect of it on thc con?
quered South was so favorable and
tranquilizing that he has persevered in
it. ?-.mi it imiv be expected TO charac?
terize his whole term of office.
But we think Mr. Johnson, in his
liberal treatment of the South in all
tues-.: matters, shows political wisdom
and .: trac appreciation of the differ?
ences which have divide;; the two soc
lions of the Republic. The principles
winch he enounced in his speech to
the Southern delegation at Washing?
ton the other day, are consistent both
with his former acts and his present
policy. They are simply that the
Onion toast bc maintained at ah ha?
zards, by any means, and against any
then or party; but that the Union,
once secured, the rights and political
independence of the States are thc best
guarantees of national prosperity.
Slavery is gone and the rebellion is
over. This being the case, th? re?
storation of ah the States to their for?
mer relations with each other and
with tho Federal Government is de?
sirable, "While Xdreaded and feared
disintegration of the St?tes," says the
President," "I am equally opposed to
consolidation or concentration of pow- j
cr here, under whatever guise or name
they bear; and if the issue is forced
upon us, I shalt endeavor to pursue ?
the same efforts to dissuade from this j
doctrine running to extremes, but I
say let the same rule be applied. Let
the Constitution be our guide. Let
the preservation of that and thc Union
of the States bo our principal ;iim."'
This theory undoubtedly tends to give
the South an earlier and larger r>os
session of political power than is ?
thought safo, even by moderate men
of the Republican party. But wc
think that the confidence of the Presi?
dent, and the bold liberality of his
policy are not likely to be in vain.
Thc Danger? >f Travel.
The New York - -ne has a chap?
ter of "statistics OL one and dis?
aster'" in the Unitc-w ?tates i'or six
months ending 10th of October, in
which, after a long array of homi?
cides, parricides, matricides, fratri- !
! cides, sororicides, familcides, ic, ii ;
gives the following under the head of
viraticiues, or murders of travelers :
RAILWAY MASSACKES.
Railway accidents open up a large
account. From May 15 to October 1
15, there were GS in all, or 63 in six
months, up to September. Of these !
2-4 were collisions. 9 explosions, (two j
of which did not occur on the line.) '
6 came from bad bridges and culverts, j
22 from rotten ties, broken nails and j
axles, and 12 wore precipitations, |
moro or less uncomfortable to the j
traveling public. Ten accidents oe- j
curred in June. 8 in July. 13 in Au- ;
gust. 27 in September, and in the ?
whole year to date, not less than 1?0, ?
comparing the present with, our form- |
cr statement of accidents prtblished1 j
in August. Thirty million dollars
would be a modest reckoning for the ;
loss involved in the demolished lives. ;
trains, and properties ol the past ,
year, and probably not less than 300 i
persons have been killed, and more j
than GOO injured iu every shape by!
accidents iu the same time.
CAiiAirrrr B? STEAMBOAT AXE? .?Hir-1
WRECK.
Steamboat explosions and ship- '
wreck naturally accompany this class i
of traveling accidents. Ten expie,- -
sir>ns and eight c< ?llisions of steam- ?
boats arc- noted, along with -15 burn- j
ings, sinkings and wrecks o? vessel?,
63 disasters in all, upon the water.
Several ol* these catastrophes, which
have crimsoned river and ocean far
and wide, aro remembered in all their
awful poetry, and helpless agony and
terror. By the explosion of the
steamer Sultana, some 1,200 victims
found a muddy grave in the Missis- i
sippi ; iOOwent down in the burning]
ship Nelson ; 250 with . the Brother
Jonathan, and 100 were drowned by
the collision of the steamers Pewobic:
and Meteor on '.Lake Michigan. |
Nearly 3,000 lives, it may be guessed, .
have been lost at sea between April1
and September. The trans?a:.-abie I
loss cannot be fur inferior to that
sustained upon tho railroad. Eight
additional disasters arc recorded ir.
j October.
! SPEECH ET FEAJTX BLAH:. -Franki
I Blair made <; characteristic speech at
! Holla. Mo., o;:,- night just week. He|
stated that around the works oi Vicks
i burg, were captured hy Grant over
j one hundred thousand bales of ci >tton,
and turned over to the Government,
i and not a thousand bales oi' it ever
j were accounted for. . He said the
j Provost Marshals of the West were a
! .set of thieving plunderers generally,
j and robbed the people ?iud swindled
I thc Government. He made bitter war
j upon Stanton ; accused him of being
I an original traitor, and said that
; Alexander H. Stephens, the Vice
' President of the Southern Confedera
I cv, was a loyal man--a more loyal mau
j than Stanton, Brak.-, Fletcher, or any
' other radical ; and that, when Stanton
i had Stephens locked up, the good,
I loyal and true man was inside, and
! the rascal and traitor upon the out?
side, ld- cann: down upon tin- officers
1 of tlie Western army with one full
? swoop. He charged them with all
; sorts of corruption.
CHAMP FERGUSON.-Champ Fergu- j
son, who was recently executed at j
Nashville by a military commission, j
iu Iiis last statement said: j
"I was a Southern man at tho start;
I am yet, and will die a rebel. I be
lieve ? was right in all I did. I don't ;
thinh I done anything wong at any j
time. I committed my deeds in a ;
cool and deliberate manner. I killed !
a good many mon, ot' course; I don't
deny that, but never killed a man ?
vhom I did not know was seeking my j
life. It is false that I never took any
prisoners. I have taken a great many, |
and after keeping them awhile parol?
ed them, I tried to provo this during
my trial, but they would not give me
time to do it."
'.Mrs. Grundy's" advice to radical j
sportsmen is, "To ride the woolly
horse, if you want to keep up with
the chose.''1
