The Retiring Prt-siden?.
The Washington Express comments
ai follows on President Johnson :
President Johnsou wnsoncn one of j
the ohief idols of the Republican
party. In looking back to that still
recent period, wo are lcd to note the
rapid changes that have followed.
Who oould have believed that the
enthusiastic worshippers of yester?
day would be the ferocious crucifiera
of to-dayV Has (he Idol chauged?
Or is tho chango in tho idolators?
In a few months more, President
Johnson will retire from his exalted
position. It may, with propriety, bo
asked, Wherein ls he different now
from what he was when he first took
his seat in the Exeoutivo ohair? Ia
thors pdt abundant proof that he en?
tered tbat chair with the conscien?
tious purpose of carrying out the po
lioy: of President Lincoln? And is
it not equally olear that "they ?*bo
sought to impeach Pr?sident John?
son, would have impeached Presi?
dent Lincoln', if they had possessed
the opportunity?
Let us briefly review tho dSrcer of
tho now retiring President :
1. He hasfehown a firm, consistent,
persevering attachment to tho Con?
stitution of the country.
2. -He has striven to mitigate tho
severity of feeling that ?8 sought to
be kepi alive between different sec?
tions.
3. Ho has avoided, Uko Lincoln,
all self-aggrandizement.
If there be anything diff?rent from
this in tho;Presidential oareer of Mr.
Johnson, wehave yet'to see it. Few
men, in all the land, and in all stages
of its political history, have been
more bitterly assailed than he.
Washington, Jefferson and Jackson
had no more personal assaults to en?
counter. No publio mau of our
times was over so attacked by mean
comparisons, by low insinuations, by
vulgar caricatures. His early life,
his former occupation, the names of
tho humbler offices he has been
called to fill, have been flung in his
face, with a~pertinacity of scurrility
and malice without a parallel.
The men who have been guilty of
all this are the very men who have
lauded the lowly birth of our future
President, and prided themselves on
the faot that they were the admiring
followers of the poor tanner boy.
Instead of holding up a fact which,
in a Republican country like ours,
should bo au encouragement to the
rising generation, these models of
consistency have indulged in all
sorts of flings at tho modest and in?
dustrious apprentice of the old North
State. How constantly the Tennes?
see Alderman has been the butt of
their ridicule! What contempt was
poured on the hoad of the Assembly?
man, and Senator, und Governor 1
All this has paused now, and, with
it, thc scorn, and hatred, and little?
ness of soul, .that saw no real merit
in Mr. Johnson as President. Ho
will be gratefully and affectionately
remembered, however, in many r.
Northorn home, and in many a
Southern one, long after his accus?
ers shall have passed away.
Wo might here refer to President
Johnson's policy in regard to the re?
storation of the Southern States to
their former status in the Union, in
contrast with the Congressional re?
construction scheme ; but we forbear. I
We may, howover, venture to sng
Sest that had tho real wishes of the
fortbern people been carried ont at
tho close of the war-had that mag?
nanimity, candor, and fair dealing
exhibited by President Johnson to?
wards the South been displayed on
the par? of Cougress- -how much bet?
ter would bo the present condition of
our country ! How much peouniary
loss might have been avoided! How
much nearer would we be to that fra
terned feeling and abiding peace so
much desired by all !
History will vindicate Audrew
Johnson's integrity and patriotism.
He will withdraw from Washington
after having passsed through the
most fiery ordeal to which any Presi?
dent was ever subjected, aud feeling
that in all his aotions he was guided
only by whit ho believed to bo his
duty, he may confidently leavo tho
result with his God.
ELOQUENT EXTBACT.-The follow?
ing eloquent extract is taken from an
editorial in Father Ryan's Banner of
the South:
"Thero are mon who desert tho al?
tars of a lost cause, round which they
onco stood with the blood in their
hearts panting for libation, and who
kneel to offer homage at the altar of
successful wrong. There are men
who trample under foot the very
Standard? that once floated proudly
over them. There are men baso
enough to lift their hands against the
very rights for which they once up?
lifted swords. Wo aro not such. For
us principio is principle, right is
right-yesterday-to-day-to-morrow
-forover. Submission to might is
not surrender of right. Wo yield to
tho one, but shall uevor yield to tho
other."

The lady who was invited to take
tho gentleman's arm said no-she
had two of her own and didn't need
a third.
.T?tige Orr.
Mn. EDITOR: I learn thnt Gov.
Oir. ha? accepted the Judgeship of
tho Eighth Circuit, mid that he bj?s
entered upon the discharge Of bte
duties. I am a warn that some politi?
cians ot thia State have declared it to
be dishonorable to accept an office at
the hands of the present Legislature
of the State; and some have even
said that Gov. Orr would forfeit all
of their respect if ho accepted the
position of Judge. Now I am satis?
fied that, looking ot this stop both
personally and politically, it is emi?
nently wise and proper, and will never
be any discredit to the honorable
gentleman. Although wo are all
compelled to admit that tho public
life of Jndge Orr has been a great
success, yet we must say that we have
never known any man who, at varions
times, hos been moro censured and
abused. And why has this been the
case? I think that the question is
answered by stating that on all ques?
tions of national importance he has
always taken his position in advance
of the politicians, tho: press and thc
people, and his great sin has been not
in being wrong iu politics, but being
in advance of public opiuion, and
always expressing his opinion with?
out reserve. Any statesman will bo
abused as much for being in advance
of public opinion ns he is for being
wrong; and there is nothing strange
in this, because we pettifoggers have
not tho information and the bruins
necessary to grasp the great ques?
tions which are to influence the des?
tiny of individuals and nations. It
certainly hos been the great trouble
of the political career of Judge Orr,
as it were, to combat public opinion,
when the Stato has been called upon
to take a position on some great
question; and even bis enemies must
allow that he has exhibited a bold?
ness in assuming, and a firmness in
maintaining, his positions which is
not often seen-and if we had taken
his advice, wo would not now bo af?
flicted with tho curso of uuiversal
negro suffrage and carpet-baggers.
The people on his circuit have acted
with becoming wisdom in assuring
him of their great confidence.
CONSERVATIVE.

SPEcrE PAYMENTS.-The New York
Journal of Commerce quite agrees
with a correspondent of that journal,
that if specie payments are not re?
sumed until the people have learned
how to bring it about without any
personal sacrifice, and through a
pleasant and flowery path, we shall
wait a long time for it. And we
agree both with the Journal and its
correspondent in the opinion, and
think that the sooner tho thing is put
to tho test by proper legislation in
Congress, and the necessary pruden?
tial and business steps ou the part of
the people, the better. Tho incom?
ing administration of General Grant
cannot devote itself to a better and
more desirable policy, and if it does
so determinedly and carries it throngh
judiciously, will receive finally the
applause of all for tho result. We
shall not be surprised to see Goneral
Grant in the outset giving attention
to the subject as a loading and dis?
tinctive featuro of praotical adminis?
tration.

Speaking of Gov. Scott's recent
visit to New York, thc Times says :
"Gov. Scott, of South Carolina,
waa in this city a day or two ago, on
business connected with the interests
of the Palmetto State. Ile represents
the condition of affairs in South Ca?
rolina at this time as very promising.
The State is profoundly peaceful, and
it appears to divide tho credit with
North Carolina of being tho most or?
derly of all the Southern States. Tho
colored people ure becoming more
and moro industrious, and are show?
ing themselves better adapted to the
new condition of things. There is a
promise of something being dono to
advance tho railroad interests of tho
State, and other projects of internal
improvement aro under discussion.
Tho leading Demoorots of tho State
accept the facts of tho late election in
a proper spirit, and express a willing?
ness to labor heartily in the direction
of peace and concord. While in Wall
street, attending to certain moneyed
necessities of the Stato, Gov. Scott
Sassed round an open lotter, signed
y Wade Hampton and other repre?
sentative South Carolinians, giving
their viows of the prospects of the
State, and the feelings entertained by
the white population. Gov. Scott is
hopeful of the future, and gives good
grounds for the hopes he expresses."
"Madam," said a very polite tra?
veler to a testy old landlady, "if Ieee
proper to help myself to this milk, is
there any impropriety in it?"
"I don't know that you mean to
insinuato that there is anything nasty
iu that milk, I'll give you to under?
stand that yc-'vo struck the wrong
horse. j,Thera ain't a first hair in it;
for as soon os Martha Ann told me
that the cat was drowned in the
milk, I went right straight and
strained it over again "

Discovery ot m. JWuaU of Sticks pe? rt:.
We have seen, at the studio ot Mr.
William Page, some photographs of
the highest interest to every student
of human genius, and especially to
every admirer of Shakespeare.
These photographs represent a
mask of the face of Shakspeare, taken
in plaster from nature, after death,
and necessarily produoiug, with great
oxaotness, his features as they were
at tho time. The mask ie now in
the possession of Prof. Owen, nt the
British Museum, iu London. Its
history is extremely interesting.
lu 1847, On ancient German family,
tho Count of Kespelstadt, near Co?
logne, bccamo extinct, and a collec?
tion of pictures which had been iu
their possession was sold at auction.
One of them, a very small pniuting,
evidently by some pupil of Van Dyke,
represented Shakspenre lyiug in
state after death. It is dated 1637,
twenty-one years after Shakapeare
died. Tho idea that it was painted
from a cast was at ouco coucoived;
and investigation revealed thct there
had been a plaster mask in thc Kes
Belstudt collection, which, on account
of its death-like expressiou, had not
been accounted of much value at tho
sale. A prolonged search fluidly dis?
covered this mask among a lot of
rags, aud other worthless articles, in
the possession of a dealer of old
traps. On comparison with the pic?
ture, it was found that the conjec?
ture respecting it was correct. It
was tho original of the painting, and
beyond doubt was taken from Shnk
speare's own face.
This mask and tho little picture uro
now, as wo have said, in tho posses?
sion of Prof. Owen. On the back of
the mask is inscribed "Anno Domiui
1G1G." That is tho year of Shuk
spearo's death. The face differs con?
siderably from any other portrait of
Shakspearc, but this difference af?
fords a strong authenticity of the
musk. Indeed, this is tho only por?
trait of him which seems adequate lo
tho subject. The forehead, especial?
ly, is wonderful. It is uot very high,
nor marked by any great promi?
nences. It is quite round and full
everywhere, but a careful examina
tiou discloses an exceedingly flue va?
riety in tho surface, as if each phre?
nological organ, so to say, bad been
very fully and yet independently de?
veloped. The nostrils have boen
frayed by time, and one of the eyes
is somewhat disfigured by a little of
the plaster sticking in the lashes.
But there is no great emaciation
about tho face, nor any sign of decay.
It is evident that the mask was taken
immediately after death.
It is believed that this mask was
also the original of tho Stratford
bust, carved by Gerard Johnson.
That work was doubtless cut from
such a model, and there is sufficient
resemblance, especially in the round?
ness of the forehi ia, to make it
highly probable that one of the two
was wrought after tho other. But,
unlike the bust, the noble intellectual
beauty of the mask is almost beyond
description. It is said that when
Fanny Kemble saw it she burst into
tears.-New York Sun.
Tight Breeches.
Wo have not been backward on
mauy occasions in lashing the follies
into which that inexorable mistress
of the female sex, fashion, leads so
many of its, votaries. Such being
the case, we deem it but fair that the
following defence of woman and at?
tack on the sterner sex by one of the
fair ones, should find its place in our
columna, remarking that she has a
very just idea of the ludicrous, and
that the men folks get no moro than
they deserve. Hear what she says:
The press has never been remiss iu
deprecating the follies of the female
sex, upon occasion, in stylo of female
apparel, but the solemn fact that the
popinjay style of breeches now in
vogue, is more ridiculous than any?
thing the women over wore, is unno?
ticed. Female loveliness is such that
it can make charming auy oxtremo
fashion; but what length of familia?
rity, pray Heaven, can ever make
tolerable, much less comely, the dex?
ter appendages of n> human crane,
wouud about with cloth so tightly as
to stop the circulation?
The present stylo of pantaloons is
ncitlier comfortable, comely nor eco?
nomical. Tho "swell" that adopts it
can neither stoop nor sit down with?
out positivo danger of au exposure of
his person, from ruptures caused by
tension.
When we soo these fashionables of
the male persuasion in tho street, wo
are reminded of the oxhortation of
tho raw-boned, ill-formed preacher,
when illustrating tho wonders of cre?
ation. Raising hisloug, skinny arms
high above his head, ho exclaimed,
"God made this frame." A voice in
tho congregation replied, "then his
I tools were mighty dull."
Hero comes a six-foot gallant, with
I a number ten boot, nod a figure Uko
I a pair of tongs. There is not
enough of his legs to make a shadow,
and he walks as if eaoh boot was a
double bass viol. By his side, per?
haps, is another devotee of the samo
style, half his length, whose make?
up reminds one of the plum pudding
perohed on the handle of a pair of
{?inohere. There go the extremes of
olly, and the very ossenco of ludic?
rousness. Kothing a woman ever
wore will compare iu folly with tight
breeches on a bandy-legged haman
biped.
Leap Year "Sealed Proposal?."
A chap at Louisville issued a leap
year invitation and sent the following
notice to the contractors for publica?
tion in tho Courier :
To CONTRACTORS.-The undersign?

Mn. CHASE ON TUE SECEDED
STATES.-Tho New York Times pub?
lishes a letter, writtou in April last,
from Chief Justice Chase to Hon. H.
W. Hilliard, of Alabama. In it Mr.1
Chase says that he agreos with Mr.
Hilliard that tho secuding States
"have never been other thau States
within the Union since they became
parties to tho Federal Government,
and that the failure to maintain their
assertions of independence in the
conflict of arms which followed left
them States still within the Uniou."
This is certainly anti-radical doc?
trine.
At Blonntville, Tenn., last week,
a man named Rhea shot his wife in
the head, inflicting what will proba?
bly prove a fatal wouud. On being
shot, Mrs. Rhea fled to tho yard,
whore she fell exhausted. Her hus?
band pursued her aud attempted to
shoot her a second time, wheu ho fell
on the steps, accidentally discharging
tho pistol into his own body, killing
him instantly.
Mr. Samnel L. Clemeus took his
7i0?t de plume, "Mark Twain," from

shoal water, used to cast the lead, and
when tho depth indicated two fa?
thoms, called out to the officer in
command, "mark twain."
An "Ex-Medical Officer United
