He was walking with a friend on Pennsylvania avenue, 1 when he observed, following him closely, a ' man who has been for several days lingering I around the White House, and has hinted at J times that his purpose was to kill the Presi- i dent. CaUing a policeman, Grant told bim j to take and hold the man with a short coat. ] The policeman zealously obeyed, and ran i down the street alter Mr. William D. Kelley, of Philadelphia, who had just passed, seized and * held him fast, for want of a few inches more of 1 cloth, until the President came up and cor- c rectcd the error. The right man was soon c after caught, and, being found quite insane, <? was sent to a lunatic asylum.

"PU bet you a thousand dollars you cannot kill me at thc first shot." "I do not wish lo kill you,*' ' Herron replied, drawing hi? revolver, "but I'll take the bet." Johnson also began to draw his pistol, but, before he could gee it out, Her? ron fired, the ball striking Johnson's forehead, just above the left eye. Herron then mounted his horse and rode off. Just below the town, he met two negro men and a negro woman, at whom he fired, killing the men and severely wounding thc woman. Herron has been ar? rested, and is now in jail awaiting trial. At lust accounts, Johnson was not dead, but it was thought lie could not live. -A New York letter ol' Saturday evening says: '.'The week closes in comparative culm. The gold excitement has about worn itself out, and the sensation-mongers, both in and out of 'thc street,' will soon bc ready for something else. With gold resting at or about 12, thc popular notion that we arc to have specie pay? ments all at once would seem to have received a set-back, j)e 4th of July next, however, is considered a good 'objective point.' A relia? ble authority gives thc following decline in thc rctaifcprices during the week, as the result of the collapse'in gold from 15: Staple dress goods from 10 to 15 percent.; carpets of do? mestic manufacture, 7? per cent.; loreign lin? ens, 5 per cent.; American silks and Italian cloths, from 15 to 20 percent.; shawls, from 10 to 12J per cent. Coffee hus fallen from 45 to 35c. per pound. Best white sugar, which sold a month ago at 20c, is HOW held at 123c. by the barrel. Teas are from 10 to 15c per pound lower. Good brands of flour are offered at S7. Boots and shoes are not effected, na labor is high, and the price of leather is ad? vancing." Ye? and Ko. Strong takes the iron-clad oath. What docs the United States Congress mean by this nonsense ? The Southern STATES sece? ded. The best and noblest of their people all who could be called their people-went into the measure. Outside were a few prag? matical fossils and a few designing knaves. Some were Clay-worshippers and others were clay-eaters. But as they were not the peo? ple aud are not, so they were not and are not the representatives of the States. The practical conditions of reconstruction are so plain that any schoolboy can read the palimpsest that mystifies Congress. The States are not lands, but people. If tho lat? ter arealien3, the former are out of thc Union. If thc former are in the Union, the latter are entitled to all the privileges of citizens. In Hamlet's time, "to be or not to be" was a grave moral question. In our day it has become political, and Congress has resolved it by affirming that being and not being ure synonymous terms ! Let us guard against this error, in our ?fl'orts to overthrow Radicalism by the aid sf the colored vote. It is perfectly clear that :his vote can be secured only on one eondi ion. The negro will not vote for any party, ?owever pure, however demanded by the .-ital necessities of the State, so long as the ircrogatives of office are denied to his race >y that party. He himself pafs no tuxes vorth speaking of. Lightly presses upon lim th?T burden of carpet-bags wfcich is ?rushing out the life of every proprietor. \.nd the positions, for the mosf^part servile, tccorded to him by Radicals, have sufficed icretofore to conciliate his suffrages. Thus hey have secured that power which they lave been using for their private advantage, ind to the detriment of thc commonwealth. :t is the manifest policy ol the Citizens' Party JO use this same weapon to redeem the State rom bondage. The colored people of Texas who have, nany of them, broken with the Radicals, lave recently proclaimed with a good deal )f shrewdness what are the demands of their ?ace. They urge two claims. Thc first is, ;hat the proportion of offices shall correspond ,vith their proportional weight in the scale >f population. The second is, that the wor? thiest among thc race shall not be ignored ;o provide for those "who can be used by 'white politicians, however unscrupulous or 1'degraded they may be." The lirst of these lemands ought to bc modified, and practi a?ly will bu, by circumstances of training md qualification. The second ought to be reely and fully granted. Every facility should be afforded to thc bettor class of thc iolored people to enter into political r??liaiicc vith thc Citizens' Party, and to exercise heir just influence over thc policy ami for unes of the State. Thc lime for a pronounced policy has como. Svery one can sec that the contest betweeu he white and colored citizens of the State mist terminate. The situation can be easily ;omprehended and easily mastered. It were >ettcr for us all, this day, were a respectable :olored man in every seat now disgraced by i renegade or an adventurer.

Ireland for Irishmen ! The great question of tho day with the English Government is thc pacification of -ho irish tenantry. The cable has already nformed us of the passage, in thc House of Dommous, by a vote of 442 against ll, of the Irish Land Bill. This tremendous ma? jority would seem to indicate the final pas? sage of the bill beyond all doubt, though imendmcnts may yet be added. But, sub? stantially, tho proposed remedy for the state jf affairs in Ireland may be expected to re? ceive thc sanction of thc House. What will jc its fate in the House of Lords is another question, though that body, in thc face of a powerful majority in the House of Commons, nay deem it prudent to come down, as it did )u thc Irish Church question. On the first ?eading of the land bill, Mr. Gladstone, in a ipeech which showed a thorough study of a rery tough subject, and a great mastery of ,he widest range of details, admitted that he English legislation for the last hundred rears left the peasantry of Ireland pretty nuch a3 they were, and he proposed to give ill Ireland the "tenant right" of Ulster. The lister right is simply the old custom of Eng and. under which Englishmen were always illowed compensation for whatever improvc nents they made on landlords' grounds; an iquitable rule, which was introduced into inly one part of Ireland-Ulster; the Irish werywhere being treated with uo sort of ronsideratiou. "Security" of tenure, how? ler, is not what those who clamor for "fix 'ity" of tenure desire. Mr. Gladstone, it is inderstood, means by perpetuity, or fixity of enure, "that every occupier, as long as be 'pays thc rent that he is now paying, or a 'rent U JO fixed by u public tribunal of valu? ation, is to be assured, for himself ami his 'heirs, au occupation or the land that he .hollis, without limit of time, subject only "to this condition: that with a variation in "the value of produce-somewhat in the na "ture of the commutation" of tithe act-the "rent may vary somewhat slightly, and at "somewhat different periods." But he array? ed with great force thc objections to perpe? tuity of tenure, declaring that the effect of it would bc to reduce thc landlord to thc con? dition of a pensioner upon his own estate. Still he did not describe it as con? fiscation, and he did not reject it as a plan absolutely inadmissible under any circumstances. This would seem to be an admission that perpetuity of tenure is not impossible or unjust, thus leaving a glimpse of hope for the future. Still the measure, as it stands, is an improvement, and the warm endorsement of it by such an extreme radi? cal as Mr. Bright, and OHO whose relation to the land question has been so peculiar, would seem to warrant its approval for the present by the Irish as well as English mem? bers of his party. There is one valuable clause of the bill which enables a board of works to help tenants who wish to buy* an estate from a consenting landlord in tho "co-operative" way. Thc great complaint of the Irish tenantry has been arbitrary evictious, exorbitant rents, capricious notices lo quit, and all thc various forim of petti tyranny in which an Irish landlord disposed to harass his tenants may vexatiously exer? cise his legal powers. Mr. Gladstone has aimed to protect the tenant from all this by a bill which he thinks gives him security of j tenure. This is not, however, what a large portion of the Irish people demand, and hence the unpopularity of the measure with this clas3 in Ireland. It is averred that un? derlying all the just complaints of oppression and taxation by landlords is the rooted con? viction of the Irish tenants that they ought to be landlords, not uncertain holders at the will of non-resident owners; that the soil which they occupy they ought to possess ; o,r, in a word, that the land of Ireland be? longs to the people of Ireland. WE MUST reiterate our conviction that our contemporary, the Marion Star, has done the Anti-Radical members of the Legisla? ture a grievous, though doubtless, an unin? tentional wrong, in including them in the category of those who sold their votes. Careful inquiry lias only served to confirm our confidence in the patriotism and inte? grity of the gentlemen referred to. il oct ano ironno.
