to shake hands with the President at the
White House, and therefore Gen. Pierce did
not have the opportunity to refuse to perform
that pump-handlc cermony. Mr.. Hale went
to the White House, not by any manner of
means to pay his respect to the President, for
he does not owe him anything of the kind
Some country cousins Of Mr. Hale wanted to
see the man who voted the French Spoliation
bill, and boinbarded Greytown. Mr.. Hale,
mi>lcd by his courteous feelings, instead of
dissuading them from going to see what was
not worth seeing, conducted them in to the
presence, lie made no advances to the Pre-
sldent, and fortunately for Mr.. Hale, the Pre-
sldent made no advance to him. Thi. is the
