ment, and appealed to the United States

unanimous decision has been rendered by

The Chicago Time recently contained an
article characterizing a Grand Jury in the
Criminal Court of Chicago, which had
just found four indictments against Mr.
Storey, the editor, for libel, as a disreputable,
contemptible aud dishonest body. Because
of these strictures Judge Williams issued an
order that Mr. Storey should show cause why
he should not be puuished for contempt. The
hearing occurred on the 29th, and re
sulted in Mr. Storey being sentenced to
ten days' confinement in the County Jail.
About eleven o'clock on the evening of that
day a writ of xupernlea was issued by Judge
McAllister, of the. Supreme Court, under
which Mr. Storey was held in the sum of $2,
500 to await the action of the Supreme Court

Sevkkal witnesses testified iu the Beech or
suit on the 2'Jth as to the whereabouts of
the defendant on the 2d, 3d and 4th of June,
1873. Mr. Turner and son testified that Mr.
Beecher arrived at his farm at Peekskill on
the afternoon of the 2d early enough to take
dinner. Two telegraph operators testified to
the sending of a telegram on the morning of
that day announcing Mr. Beechers in
tended visit to Peekskill. Another witness
swore he saw Mr. B. there at that time.
Thomas J. Tilney, lawyer, swore that he was
married in Brooklyn on the evening of June 2
by Mr. Beecher. Frederick A. Putman testi
fied that he saw Mr. Beecher at the
depot of the New Haven Railroad ou
June 4, 1873. John Winslow and Stephen
D. White, members of the Plymouth
Church Investigating Committee, and II. B.
Clafiin testified as to the statements made by
Mr. Tilton regarding the evidence against Mr.
Beecher, concerning Mr. Tracy's connection
with the case, and as to the settlement of
the difficulty between Mr. Tilton and Mr.
Bowen, most of which was corroboratory of
former evidence adduced on the part of the
defense.
Wednesday, March 31.
H. B. Clatlin continued his evidence on
the 30th, his testimony relating chiefly to the
tripartita agreement, which witness stated
Mr. Tilton fully agreed to, and both Mr. Til
ton and Mr. Moulton agreed to the award of
the arbitration ($7,000 by Bowen to Tilton)
and to the condition that all the papers
relating to the scandal 6hould be
burned. On the cross-examination witness
said the arbitrators never considered the
truth or untruth of the stories in the
papers relating to the scandal, nor did
they discuss them. Charles Storrs gave
similar testimony to that of Mr. Clafiin re
I tiing to the tripartite agreement. He also
t t that in January, 1871, Mr. Tilton had
t U i.i.u that Mrs. T. had accused Mr. Beech
er of improper proposals. After the publi
cation of the oodhull scandal Mr. T. had
6aid to witness that it contained a great many
lies about Mrs. T. and Mr. Beecher, and that
nothing criminal had occurred. Two or three
witnesses were examined relative to Mr.
Beecher's visit to Peekskill on the afternoon
of June 2, 1873.
The bursting of a kerosene lamp recently
6et on fire the home of a farmer named Col
son, twenty-five miles from Wadena, Minn.,
and the flames spread so rapidly that in a
moment the night-clothes of the father,
mother and five children were on fire. Colson
finally dashed out of a window and res
etted his family, but in a sad condition. They
all dragged themselves to the nearest neigh
bor's, a mile distant, barefooted and , naked,
leaving tracks of their pr gress on the snow
all the way. The father : nd two children
have since died of t'jeir i juries, and it was
thought the mother and remaining son could
not long survive.
The Postoffice at Xeuces, Tex., was robbed
and burned by a band of armed Mexicans
during the recent ruids from over the border.
The Postmaster himself barely escaped with
his life, the robbers believing that he had
perished in the flames of the burning build
ing. A man named Smith was murdered, and
several Americans were taken prisoners and
subjected to the most cruel treatment. One
of the leaders of the murderous gang was
subsequently captured and taken to Corpus
Christi, where he was summarily tried by a
people's court and speedily sentenced to death
and hanged.
At St. Louis on the 29th, in the case of

pealed by the Government from the United
States Di.-trict to the United States Circuit
Court, March 9, Judge Dillon, of the latter
court, rendered a decision affirming that o
the lower court, and Mr. Buell was dis
charged. The Atlanta ((5a.) correspondent of the

Thursday, April 1.
Mr. Storrs concluded his evidence on the
Slst ult., aud he was followed by Mrs. Mary
E. Perkins, sister of Mr. Beecher, who testi
fied that she spent the whole of the winter of
1871 -'72 at the defendant's house, during the
absence of Mrs. Beecher, and was in the
habit of receiving Mr. Beecher's guests, and
during tliat time did not see or hear of Mrs.
Tilton being at the house. Mr. and Mrs.
Robert T. Moore swore that they would nof
believe JLnc Cary (who was once in their em
ploy) under oath. On the cross-examination
they said they formed their conclusions from
stories they heard while Kate was in their
employ. James Redpath testified that Mr.
Tilton showed him the "True Story" in
January, 1873. Witness was shown and iden
tified a copy of the "True Story" shown him
by Mr. T.
A general order has been issued by Gen.
Sheridan in relation to the policy of the Gov
ernment in reference to the Black Hills re
gion. The order covers a recent letter from
the Department of the Interior to the Secre
tary of War, in which it is stated that a
competent geologist will be sent to explore
that region, and if it be found that the precious
metals exist in large quantities efforts will be
made to extinguish the Indian title guaran
teed by the treaty of 18S. Negotiations have
already commenced to this end, but the pres
ence of trespassers in that section is likely to
endanger their success, and the Interior De
partment therefore calls upon the War De
partment to remove interlopers and furnish a
military escort for the geological party. i

Friday, April 2.
Mr. Redpath was cross-examined on the
1st, aud stated that in an interview he had
w ith Mr. Beecher the latter did not deny that
he had given Mr. Tilton cause of offense.
When asked if, in all his conversations with
witness, Mr. Beecher had denied the commis
sion of the crime with which he is charged,
witness answered that he did not ask him
(Beecher) about it. Mr. Beecher was the next
witness called to the stand. He said he bad
conscientious scruples against swearing on
the Bible, and was sworn by the uplifted
hand. He then began his evidence, in answer
to questions by his counsel, jiving a detailed
history of his life and his acquaintance with
Messrs. Bowen, Tilton and Moulton down
to about the year 1870. His evidence for
the day closed with a statement of an
interview had by witness and his wife
with Mrs. Tilton and Mrs. Morse, at Mrs,
Tilton' residence, and at her (Mrs. T.'s)
request, on which occasion Mrs. Tilton and
Mrs. Morse spoke of the domestic difficul
ties in Mr. Tilton's family, and the result of
which was that he (witness) coincided with
the views of Mrs. Beecher that a separation
between Mr. and Mrs. Tilton would be the
wisest course for them to pursue.

John C. New, who is to succeed Mr. Spin
ner as Treasurer of the United States, is said
to be a hard-money man.
Saturday, April S.
g?lx his testimony on the 2d Mr. Beecher em
phatically denied any and all charges of
either criminal conduct or intent on hlte part
iu his relations with Mrs. Tilton at any time.
He reiterated his statements made before the"
Church Investigating Committee. He flatly
contradicted the evidence of Messrs. Tilton
and Moulton with regard to the confessions
of criminal conduct they alleged he had
made. He asserted that the letter of contri
tion which he signed was written by Mr.
Moulton when he (witness) was laboring un
der great excitement caused by his feeling
that perhaps he might have been uninten
tionally led into doing Mr. Tilton an injustice
by li.-tening and subscribing to the reports in
circulation against him (Tilton) at the time
of h ts difficulties with Mr. Bowen. He fur
ther said that Mr. Moulton suggested to him
(witness) that Mrs. Tilton had allowed her
affections to be alienated from her husband
and to center upon witness; and it was this
assertion on the part of Mr. Moulton, to
gether with the fact that Mr. M. emphatically
pronounced false many of the scandal
ous reports afloat against Mr. Tilton's
moral character, that led him (witness) to ex
press himself in a contrite manner for hav.
ing unintentionally contributed to Mr. Til
ton's sorrow at that time. Witness denied
reading or having read to bim on that occa
sion the memorandum of his remarks made
by Mr. Moulton, and which he signed at Mr.
M.'s request as being the better way of show.
ing to Mr. Tilton that he (witness) enUrtained
no unfriendly feelings or feelings of enmity
toward him.
George Reynolds, a Mormon, on trial at
Salt Lake City for polygamy, has been found
guilty b- a jury composed of both Mormons
and non-Mormons. A motion to set
aside the verdict for the reason that the
defendant had never been arraigned and asked
to plead, and never had the indictment read to
him, was granted, after which the defense
waived a new trial, with a view of taking the
case to the Supreme Court. In the case of
George Q. Cannon, on the same charge, the
defendant plead the statute of limitation, a
demurrer to which was overruled, and the de
fendant was discharged.

What
Gen. Sheridan Knows of the
Black Hills.
Headquarters Militart Dtvisiov or the I
MtssorRi. Chicago, March 25, 1875. (
Gen. W. T. Sherjian, Headquarters of the Army,
St. Louis, Mo. :
General In renlv to voUr nuestion! "What
do you know of the Black Hills?" I respect
fully submit the following remarks! I
My first knowledge of the Black Hills was
derived from interviews with the late Father
de Smet, a noted Catholic missionary, whom
I mel many years ago on the Columbia River,
in Oregon, from whom I beard the Indian ro
mance of a mountain of gold in the Black
Hills, and his explanation of that extraordi
nary and delusive story.
To Indians, frontiersmen and explorers the
Black Hills country is much more extensive
than that particular locality brought to the
notice of the public by the recent explorations
of Gen. Custer, aud gets its name from the
black, 6crubby character of the timber which
grows on the sides and tops of the mountains
and hills. It comprises the whole of the
country bounded on tbe east by longitude 102
deg., and on the south by the bweetwaterand
Laramie Rivers, on the west by the
Big Horn and Wind River?, and on
the north by the Yellowstone River. This is
really the country of tbe Black Hills; but em
braced in it are several localities called
"Black Hills." For instance, the "Black
Hills of the Laramie," the "Black Hills of
Powder River." and the "Black Hills of the
iSbyenne River," the latter being the locality
in whien ten. custer made nis reconnois
sance last summer, and about which there is
so much sjeculation at the present time, and
within the bounds of which it is supposed by
a large number of people is to be found the
Father de Smet mountain of gold.
Father de Smet's story was that, while liv
ng with the Sioux Indians, he was shown by
them nuggets of gold, which they informed
him had been obtained at different points in
the Black Hills, supposed to be from the beds
of the Big Horn, Rosebud and Powder Rivers,
and from branches of the Tongue River; ana
on his representing that such yellow metal
was of the greatest value, they told him they
knew where there was a mountain of it.
Subsequent investigation, however, proved
that the Indian mountain of gold was nothing
more than a formation of yellow mica, such
as may be found in a number of places in
the above-described country.
I had scarcely given the story a thought
alter this, until about three years ago, wnen
I happened to be in New York, and it was
there brought to mv recollection bv a prom
inent gentleman, who asked me where Father
de Smet was to be found, and Insisted that
some one should be sent at once to get from
him the secret of the gold mountain which
would pay the national debt, etc.
After I had informed him that it was an old
and exploded story his ardor cooled, and the
excitement about the " mountain of gold
again subsided.
It so happened, however, that the Black Hills
country, was embraced in my military com
mand, and two years ago it became apparent
to me that a military post In the Black Hills
of the Shyenne would soon becme necessary
for the proper protection of the settlements in
Nebraska from the raids of Sioux warriors,
who always before they commeuce depredat
ing the frontier secure a safe place for their
r. . : i : . . .. .t ,1 tn . i , ,f.
mumico auu i mages 111 iue locality menuoneu.
Believing that these Indians would ev.er
make war on our settlements as long as we
could threaten their families and villages in
this remote locality, abounding in game and
all that goes to make Indian lire comfortable,
and with this purely military object in view.
the order was given for the Cu6ter reconnois-
sance.
The discovery of particles of gold by allu
vial washing near Harney's Peak, On the east
ern slope of the Black Ilills of the Shvenne.
followed, and brought to tbe surface the Fath
er de Smet story for the third time.
The Black Hills of the Shyenne, described
by Gen. Custer, are situated between the
north and south forks of that river, one of
which is known as the Belle Fourche, the
other tbe South Fork; and although I have
the utmost confidence in the statement of
Gen. Custer and Gen. Forsythe, of my staff,
that gold was found near Harney's Peak, I
may safely say there has not been any fair
test yet made to determine its existence in
large quantities.
There is not a Territory in the West where
gold does not exist, but In many of them the
quantity is limited to the "color," which is
as much as has yet been obtained near Har
ney's Peak. The geological specimens
brought back by the Custer expedition are
not favorable indications of the existence of
gold in any great quantity. Still it may be
there; but as the treaty of 1869, duly ratified,
virtually deeds this portion of the Black
Ilills to the Sioux Indians, there is no alter
native but to keep out trespassers.
But to go back to the Father de Smet infor
mation, there is uot much doubt of the cor
rectness of his statement that gold exists in
large quantities in the Black Hills, but much
further west than the Black Hills of the Shy
enne. l nave seen nuggets trom the Big Horn
and Tongue Rivers, and many specimens from
near Fort Stambaugh, in the Upper Wind
River country, where mining haa failed for
want of water for alluvial washing and from
hostilities of the Indians; and I have
good reason to believe in fact, it is
quite certain that gold exists in the
Owl Creek Mountains, in the Lower Wind
River and in the headwaters of the Powder
River and the Rosebud, all these localities
being under the general meeting in the
Black Hills, and outside of the Sherman, Au
gur and Terry treaty of 1869, except so far as
he privilege to bunt game. It has been my
intention to communicate much informatiou
this coming 6ummer to the Government on
the above-described country; and as the Indi
ans have no absolute right to the soil there
may be but little difficulty in extinguishing
their hunting privileges.
1 purpose, if you ao not ob.ect, to open up
the Yellowstone River by sending Gen. Geo.
A. Forsyth and Col. Grant, of my staff, up
the Yellowstone to the mouth of the Big
Horn as soon as the ice breaks, which will
give the lowest tide of water, having already
secured a steamboat to make this explora
tion. If Gen. Forsyth is successful I will
send Gen. Custer, with a command from Fort
Lincoln, across the mouth of Powder River,
thence up the south bank of the Yellow
stone, crossing Powder River, Tongue River,
Kosebud, and on to the mouth or the Big
Horn.
This country is as yet entirely unexplored,
aud the expedition may develop a very valu
able auriferous section and make tbe Father
de Smet story to some extent true, but I am
of the belief that the mountain of mica has
not changed to gold.
I will also send an expedition down Wind
River, through the Owl Creek Mountains,
from Fort Stambaugh, via Fort Brown, to the
mouth of the Big Horn, and will bring it back
through the parks about the head waters of
rowaer Kiver visited by uapt. Aims ana nis
command last summer. These parks are for
beauty fully equal to those described so graph
ically by Gen. Custer as existing in the Black
Ilills of the bhyenne. 1 may also say irom
my own knowledge that the valleys of the
Big and Little Po-po-agie, Little Wind River
and Mam Wind Kiver can scarcely be ex
celled in beauty and fertility, while the stu
dent of nature will find there the most ex
traordinary upheavals of the earth's crust
probably to be found on this continent. I am of
the opinion that this country is gold bearing,
but of its abundance there can only be a con
jecture. I feel quite confident of our ability to pre
vent the intended trespass on the rights of the
Indians, and cavalry and infantry in the de
partment of the Dakota are being moved at
the present time to the most available points,
to carrv out my directions of Sept. 3 of last
year. "Were it not for these precautions on
the part of the Government there might be a
repetition of the California Gold Beach and
Gold Lake humbugs, with a still greater suf
fering, as many of the persons now crazy to
go to the Black Hills never think of how they
are to exist after they get there, or how they
could return in case of failure.
If they will only wait for further informa
tion from the Government, which now seems
to be desirous of making concessions to meet
these new interests, there will be no one more
willing than myself to aid in ascertaining
their value ; so far as the troops are concerned
I will promise activity in the present emer
gency and a conscientious performance of
duty.
Should the points from which the miners
start be so remote as to make it impossible
for our scanty force to watch them, we can
occupy the two or three gaps in the Black
Hills and effectually exclude trespassers. Very
respectfully, P. H. Shehidaw,
Lieutenant-General Commanding.
The Late John Mltchel.
John Mitchel was born in 1816, at Dun
given, County Derry. His father was a
Presbyterian clergyman of ability and
standing, who acted with the United
Irishmen in 1793 and was a sincere friend
of his native country and a bold defend
er of its rights. The young Mitchel was
intended lor the church, and his early
home training was pointed in that direc
tion. But in 1830 he entered, as a stu
dent. Trinity College, Dublin, and after
graduating adopted the profession of the
law and entered a law-offlce at Ban
bridge as one of the partners of the firm.
About this time he married the daughter
of Richard Verner, a distinguished citi
zen of Henry, and commenced the battle
of life in earnest. For .some years Mr.
Mitchel pursued his profession in a quiet
manner. But all this time he wat accu
mulating that mass of facts and informa
tion which he afterward used with such
zeal and energy against the English Gov
ernment and its officers and agents in
Ireland. In 1845 Mr. Mitchell emerged
from his retirement by the publication of
a life of O'Neill, the Ulster Chief, as he
was called. The sentiments proclaimed
in that work put him at once in the ranks
of the party of " Young Ireland." They
recognized him as tbe coming man, and
looked to his writings as the exponents
of their views, aims and designs in re
gard to the present and future ot Ireland.
Not long after this advent of Mr. Mitchel
as the leader of Young Ireland, Thomas
Davis, died, and the chair of the Nation
at Dublin was left vacant. This, by
common consent, was offered to John
Mitchel and by him accepted. In 1845
he began writing for and managing
that paper and putting forth bld
views in a bold, if not at all
times prudent, manner. In little more
than a year the Nation, was indicted for
"seditious" utterances. The case was
tried. The jury failed to agree. John
Mitchel escaped the clutches of the law,
and continued to write and issue his sen
timents, and that of the party to which
he belonged, in the most plain and un
mistakable language. During the vear
1847 Mr. Mitchel devoted his whole time
to Irish political matters. He spoke,
wrote and lectured urxn the subiect. and
bis papers on "Land Tenures in Europe"
attracted attention not only in Ireland
and England, but in all parts of Europe.
Not being able to agree with some of the
supporters of the Nation as to the policy
of the people, Mr. Mitchel severed his
connection with that sheet in 1848, and
established a new journal called the
United Irishman. The course of the
new paper was still more aggressive than
that of the old. Hot shot w poured
into the Government by Mitchel, Keilly
and Mangan from all quarters. They
spared no one in authority, from the
Queen to the tidewaitcr. Each number
was more fierce and pronounced than its
predecessor. The Government, fearing
the effects of such repeated invitations
for the people of Ireland to assert their
rights, arrested Mitchel on the 13th of
May, 1848, for felony. He was sent to
Newgate, tried on the 26th, found guilty
the same day, sentenced to fourteen years'
penal servitude, put on board ship with
out delay, and in this manner left his
native land for Bermuda, where he re
mained ten months. At the expiration
of that period he was sent to
Australia to begin in earnest his
convict labor. In that country Mr.
Mltchel's companions in exile were such
men as Smith O'Brien, Thomas Francis
Meagher, and other Irishmen who had
offended the home authorities and been
transported for such offenses. Van Die
man's Land was set apart for the resi
dence of Mr. Mitchel. His health had
been impaired and that fact mitigated to
some extent at least the rigor of his con
finement. Still it was irksome for Mr.
Mitchel, and he determined to escape, if
escape was possible. Through the ac
tion of the Lieutenant Governor of the
colony a ticket-of-leave was given Mr.
Mitchel, by which he could visit any
portion of the colony. This was coupled
with a promise from him that he would
not take advantage of this freedom to
make his escape. He subsequently re
turned the ticket to the Lieutenant
Governor, revoked his parole of honor
and escaped from servitude. In his es
cape he was aided by Mr. Smith, now a
member of the British Parliament from
Westmeath. In 1853 a reward of 2 was
offered for the capture and return of Mr.
Mitchel. But he was then en route for
this country, where he arrived in 1854,
and took up his residence in New York.
Having a taste for journalism, Mr.
Mitchel a short time after his arrival
began tbe publication of the Cititen, a
paper in the interest of the native Irish
men in this and other countries. It was
not a success. Mr. Mitchel did not un
derstand the state of feeling among
the Irishmen of the United States,
and they failed to see the point of
much of his writings in relation to reme
dial measures for Ireland. In 1855 Mr.
Mitchel removed to the South, and start
ed a paper, under the title of the Southern
Cttieen. lhis, like the other etlorts of
Mr. Mitchel, had a brief existence. It
died in 1859, and left no mark upon the
affairs of the nation. He then made a
visit to France, but returned to this
country in 1861, and became one of the
editors of the Richmond Enquirer. In
that paper his vehement, declamatory
style was abundantly evident. Leaving
the South before the close of the war,
Mr. Mitchel again located in New York,
and became associated with the News, of
that city. For the expression of anti
union sentiments in that paper he was
arrested, but soon liberated. In 1867 he
made his last newspaper debut in this
country bv the establishment of the Irish
Citizen. This ceased to be printed in
1873. In July, 1874, Mr.Mitchel left for
Ireland, and immediately became a can
didate for the House of Commons from
Tipperary. He was beaten, and the Gov
ernment did not notice either the fact
that he was in the county or a candidate
for office. But on the 16th of February
last he was chosen to fill a vacancy from
Tipperary. In this instance the House
of Commons declared he could not take
his seat because he was a " convicted
felon." A new election was ordered and
Mr. Mitchel was rechosen from Tippera
ry by a large majority. Before the mat
ter could be again pre'sented to the House
of Commons the death of Mr. Mitchel
took place, and that ends the contest.
These are the leading incidents in the
life and career of John Mitchel. at.

A Melancholy Spectacle.
When Mr. Andrew Johnson was elect
ed to the Senate we were unable to share
the pleasure or the expectation that was
manifested in many quarters. Nobody
in the country was better known, or, as
we supposea, haa been more accurately
measured. A Democratic paper calls
him "one of the founders of the Repub
lican party." The fact is that he was a
Democratic Senator from Tennessee who
did not betray his oountry with the other
Democratic Senators from that region
when the war began, and the Republican
Convention of 1864, which renominated
Mr. Lincoln, associated Mr. Johnson
with him, not as a Republican, but as a
" Union" man. One of the leaders in
that convention most strenuous for John-
son s nomination was asaea Dy a inena
what he knew of him. He answered,
" Not a thing." The convention knew
only that he was a Southern or South
western Union man and an old uemocrau
He was elected by the Republican vote,
but he was never in any sense a Repub
lican except that he was loyal to the
Union.
His career after his election Is familiar
to everybody. It began in the Senate
upon the 4th of March, 1865, with an ex
hibition at which every Republican hung
his head and every Democrat sneered.
Called to the head of the Government by
the death of the President he showed
himself at oDce an ignorant, obstinate,
garrulous, prejudiced man and was soon
engaged in a violent enort to aeieai iue
policy of the party that had elected him.
His coarse vituperation of Senator Sum
ner from the steps of the White House
on Washington's birthday was another
shock to the public sense of decency and
another proof of the various misfortune
which his election had caused. The
most serious result of his Administration,
however, was is effect upon reconstruc
tion. Hia words anl condut, alter a
very short time, held out to the defeated
party the hope of regaining at the polls
what it had lost in the field. This was
one of the chief causes of the trouble and
confusion that have embarrassed recon
struction. His direct endeavor to divide
the Republican party as a bid for South
ern support culminated and failed in
the Philadelphia "Arm-in-arm" Conven
tion, which had, however, the sympathy
and support of some very honorable and
patriotic men.
The prolonged and repulsive spectacle
of "swinging round the circle," in a
journey from Washington to the West,
only confirmed the general t pinion of
his flagrant unfitness for the position he
held. Impeachment followed, and, as
we think, upon inadequate grounds and
a wrong constitutional theory, and he
was acquitted. Notwithstanding his
shameful prostitution of the appointing
power to his personal purposes a pros
titution assisted by Postmaster-Gen.
Randall, who exhorted the vast multi
tude of his subordinates to remem

bufer Mr. Johnson was never thought
of by any party or any person for a re
nomination ; and when he retired it was

triotic man that he had not been able to
accomplish more mischief, and with the
devout resolution upon the part of Re
nnhltcans that thev would never again.
under anv pretense, borrow a candidate
frrm the Democratic party.
A choleric and commonplace man, of
a loose and shambling speech, who had
shown no political ability of any kind, it
was not easy to see why, when the Dem
ocrats lately returned him to the Senate,
there should have been an expectation
that he would say or do any wise thing.
He baa made a soeecn luuoi me oiu
vanity, inconsequence and solemn folly.
Like Mr. Eaton's, it la, In itself, of no
importance, except that ho is a Demo
crat, and that the party feelitg and
tendency may be seen in what he says.
When he reached Washington he was
interviewed, and told the reporter that
the negro must be put in his place
which was to be expected of the signer
of the CiviLRights veto, but hardly of
the " Moses" of the colored race. In his
speech he warns the country that the
President is driving rough shod to des
potism over the ruins of liberty and the
Government, and that he would have
made no mistakes in Louisiana if he bad
onlv done as a certain acting President,
who shall be nameless, did in Tennessee
in 1866.
Mr. Andrew Johnson in the Senate Is
another of the boons that we owe to the
Democratic party. And those who have
sustained the Republican party for
years, but who have been troubled and
alienated by many later tendencies and
measures, yet who must now support the
Republican or the Democratic organiza
tion, may well ask themselves whether
it is the part of wisdom and patriotism to
join the Democrats and march with Mr.
Johnson and Mr. Eaton, or to act with
men like Mr. Christiancy within the Re
publican lines. Is there nothing to do
but to insist that nothing can be done,
that the Democrats cannot be trusted,
and that the Republicans are unworthy
of trust? Harper's Weekly.
