SCENE WITH Mr. BucHANAS-The follow
ing is from the Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Prssc m HiR
One Of those rich scenes which have become
quite frequent since Mr.. Buchanan was elected,
took place at the Washington depot on Monday
evening, prior 10 the departure of the train
carrying the President aud his eecert on their
Way to Bedford. reached the station too late
to be Q witness 10 il, but those who we're pres
ent describe il as eminently worthy the pencil
OF some modern Cruikshanks or Hogarth. 1t
appears that in the same cur with bis Majesty,
was Col Simon NJ. johnson. johnson started
out quite patriotically with the Press on the
Lecompt0n question, but patronage WAS too
much for him, and he fell by the wayside aud
became dercely Administration; the considera-
ttOn Of which, as well as his early advocacy of
Mr.. Buchanan's nomination, he was willing TO
accept the post OF consul to Liverpool or to
London. Finally, the consulate at Havre was
offered to him, and. believe, be accepted.
For some reason, however, he has not vet en-
tered upon the discharge Of the duties Of this
ONCE, but has sojourncd in Washington, attend.
ing to his profession as lawyer. When
be saw the President 10 the car ESQ runs the
story he approached 10 pay bis respects TO the
high and mighty Majesty, upon which J. Is. be-
gan to catechise him before the spectators in
udEuuest huu mOsb lmpeTlOuS manner, uemand-
ing to know why he had not proceeded TO the
discharge of his duties, and stating that he had
not appointed him TO remain 10 the country !;
upon which johnson proceeded 10 explain that
the government would be at no Inconvenience.
as business had detaiu him, ete.. etc. This apo
logy still further aroused the ire Of Mr.. Buch-
anan. as he was proceeding to renew his lecture,
johnson fired up, told him that he had never
asked for the Office Of consul at Havre, that it
bad been voluntarily rendered him, and that
be Was not under any obligations to Mr.. Buch-
anan for IL; that be bad dOne quite as much for
him as be u. b. had done for johnson, etc. ETC.
All this transpired while Mr.. Secretary Cobb
Mr.. Secretary Thompson, aud the ladies Of the
Presidential party were sitting or standing by.
The inevitable Col. Florence, who, since his
election in the First District. seems to have re-
solved TO live in the city of Washington, was
partial spectator Of the scene, aud has made the
details OF 1t pretty generally known. Efforts
were made to hush the thing up. so as 10 keep
it out Of the papers, but Col. Florence could not
restrain himself from communicating il conf
dentally to every one he met. Whether the
President will remove Mr.. Johnson, or whether
the latter will ressgn the consulship, at Havre,
is the next thing TO be ascertRined.

This morning counterfeit notes Of idehoani-

The counterfeit one hundreds arc printed in

are in circulation. There are no counterfeit

The counterfeit titles are printed some in black

There was never any genuine fifty dollar is
