Nsw.YOK, 80t March 1808. Mss1s EoToas:-To-day being '0o< Friday has been observed partially as i holiday throughout the unholy city of Goth am. thus affording to the sinners of Wal Street an opportunity to repent of theil *ickeness at least for twenty.four hours, The Board of M'rokerr und Oold Operators, resolved to adjourn over for the day, but the Banks not loving the power to clost their doors *ithout a proclamation from thi Executive, hal to keep open alT the day foi the payment of drafts that might be pre. Wented. If our Legislatures had the proper Obristian feeling they would pass an act making (ood Friday a legal holiday the same same as Chrisnutms, &e Day after to morrow will be Easter Stnday. and prepa rations are being made in the Episcopal and Noman Catholic Churches to observe thi. grand festival in a becoming manner. There will be fine thral decorations in such of out churches as can afford' to go to the e-xpense of procuring the exot'ies ; for tie gtood readers of the Ncws ntst remember that we are still in the winter, comparatively speaking, and not a tiower is blooming by the wayside, and all the boquets that are showered down upon our Clergy's tables ire fron the hot house and consequently can only be procured by congregations who are well off. From things divitne. we will now turn out Attention to things diametrically opposit (and prove the adage, ilkat extremes meet.] that, is the political situation. When Mr. Johnson vetoed th Negro Suffrage Bill, the Radicals were thunderstruck, it waS a bomb shell in the midst of their camp, and thir consternation was too great toadlmit of their Attering a word. At last they discovered thait the Bill was a matter of not the slightest moment, (fortunate individals,) as the Civil Rights Bill would noswer every purpose. But President. Johnson vtoces the Civil Rights Bill, also; the 'Abolition Radicals gnash their tee--. and swear that Andrew Johnson has tur.ied "Copperhead," and that he is a "rebel" sytapathizer. Ilut these same Radicals are making themselves the laughing stock of the out side World, and at the same time are disgracing their con stituency at home by their drivel in Coit gress about the admission of certain States into the Union, whiledurinq the war these self same Rbadicals aiays insisted that none of the States were out, of the "Union." '-Consistency thou art a jewel," a gem not in the possessinui of any of the ltadiucal merbers of Congres, --that's poz " An effort, will no doubt be inade to pass the Civil Rights Bill, over the veto of the Presi dent, but there is not the slightest. proha. hility of it being sutcessful ; the masses of the people support Andrew Johnson, and detest, the wicked abolition stirrers tp ol tr.% fho are using every means in their power to prevedt amicable feelings between el'e two sectiontr of lte country. The itu happy war ha'ving been brought to nO end it becomes the duty of every christian to do all in his power to bind up the wounds of those who had been ninde the sufferers by or in it, and not. to- a'dU to their suf forings by contemptable'attempts at humil. iation, which could only be the promptings of pitiable dispositions, or New' England Radicals. * Let us congratulate ourselves that New England is not the United Sittes, and at the same itie remind her of the fate of one poor frog wh would fain make itself as large as an ox, when' a sudd'en oollapse brought its vain at tempt to a summary close. 10.80 p. m.--As I now write'a, grand hu nuar eclipse is taking place, the night is a magnificent one, and will offer to' astrono ihers a fine opporter.ity to make rheir inter eating observations ; at the present motment the moon is but partially eclipsed, but thme ight, is becoming darker and darker as more and more of the disc of the moon be Scomes obscured, and presently it will be as dark as Erebus. Now a p)art of thte moon, "the night sun," is obscured, and now a large slew is taken off, and now te whtolo faoe of the moon is covered as it were with a black veil. Ilow wonulerful are the ao tions of nature, and here they proclaim tihe handiwork of a Supreme Deting. SatunDAY, 81.--Gold opened this morn lng at 127't@i@128.

It will re vive the despondency of the trit Unior 1men of the North and strengthie the knees of the pliable conservative R.pub licans The President has enough of old "Hickory" in himt to standjup to his position. He need not. use the empliat ie language of JACKSON to indicate hi policy. His nets do that. Let the Radicals of Congress at teipt. to impeach ANi:.w JOHNSON, and if their political hieads do't, Ry off faster Lhan flies off a hot stove, then we'll stand treat. The Radicalss may think they have taken the tide of affitirs that leads on to fortuine, but if they don't miss the port it will be because Axuy is-'A there to swamp their craft. A truce to this radicalism ! a hns no principle. It is just as oscillat inig as the weather-coek. Tis 4s slippery as an eel. Ft's like old O'en. BENNiNc 's cow-hide tllat wits flung oui upon rhetorical breezes to cheer the whipped Confederate "boys"--if you mash them down ot,e place they will jimp up with a saucy grunt in another. But the President's feet are large enough to keep the old radical hide down all around. He lis the genteel part ofthe civilians to support him, and better lali that lie hans at his back the metallic cur. rency of the country, nob that alone that "Blls" and "Bears' are-always goad ing and hugging, hut that other which is final as an appellate Eecause it pays the last debt.

Stupendous Business. It will be reanemberedl by the readert of the News that we lately published two short items cnorning the whiskey tra ffic in New York. One was that a dea'er in the article had to pay a fine el *l50,000 for making failso revenue returns. Thela other, that an off. cial wvho wtas mnking a reconnoisance for the purpose of discovering the ilcii distillation of whiskey fell into a vat and wvas drowned. A mtan who scays he knows the first party, giveR na informiation that the dn ceased wvas ."over-soaked" in the distuhle ry of that party. The circaumstances are these. The official detective got on track of theo unlawful dealer, and "beard. ed'the lion in his den." Thie dealei who had boon too sharp for the Govern. menb,~ pitched on a plan to lay the thing cold. So lie give Mr. Detective obeck on the Bank for thmirty t,housand dollars. And detective, not that he loved dut.y less, bait, that he loved rnoney ,(in kpile) more, accepted the hint poo eted his check, observat,Ion qnd an and became thenceforth ait er if not a wiser nan. Not many day@ passed before the detective, encouraged by his first pull determined. to throv out aga-in. So he went th? second time to the Baccliantilinn, to investigate his Premises. Biut in) the round this time the check lie got %as of a very different Rt.yle. He got on a trap-door and then Tho.ability of the dealer to pay his fine will not be questioned. whlen the reader is told, as we w 1, hat. in tiii months lie realized one million dol. lars from the distillerv.

He said hie had been thireatened. in his room, a few hours previonely, with exposure by being "posted" all ovet ti.e streets if he aid not vote with the repulb. licans ; but, he cared nothing for this threat. and intended to stand~np boldly atnd meet his enemies, and pursue a course, without regiard to party inter ests, which he beliJved the times de maa.ded of all good Americans ini office.
