The Board of M'rokerr und Oold Operators,
resolved to adjourn over for the day, but

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

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

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.

magnificent one, and will offer to' astrono

the moon is but partially eclipsed, but thme

more and more of the disc of the moon be

"the night sun," is obscured, and now a

It will be reanemberedl by the readert
of the News that we lately published
two short items cnorning the whiskey

returns. Thela other, that an off.

The New Jersey galted States Senator.
It wasT Otated- on Friday, that the
Senate of New Jersey, by a vote of I I
to 10, had refused to go into joint Coi
vention to elect a United States Sena

he- had beent elected oii thes repubican
ticket, still lie could not in justice to the
interests of the whole country, as an
American citizen, loving the lasting
unity of these States and good govern
meat, better than party purposes, vote
wvith men whose whole course was
against the government-the policy of
Andrew Johnson. As for hinmself, lie
said, he -intended to sustain the Presi.
dent of the United States and his policy,
and for such considerations lhe voted
with the democratic side of the House.
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.
He even~ intimated that he had been led
to understand that; p*eonal violence
against him was not thing to be an.
tirely lost sight of. Bfore concluding
