that such an interview did MOI occur, Upon 'I

susbefa long and elaborate leader in his paper,

Yoy,, Fgaetions y in which he spoke of his
q visit and made some very positive and en-
phatie statements in relation to the Presidents
as e9s views and purposes, but insisted inasmuch a.
the Republican papers had positively denied
that he had an interview with Mr. johnson
qthatlthey had no right to infer from his lam
ll3oQB guage that he claimed to derive his informa-
aHA ton from the President himself .QWss

whole humorous play upon the newspaper re-

and that he had been privileged with hear

'''ss'm NATION, the editor Of the World says:
And we begin with the proposition, which no
that the result of the New York election de-

for AZ. immediate restoration Of the Union,
and besides, to use miners phrase; Hpros-
gq1 peess the political future fortlis and the next

~ 18Th q Hon the result Of the election in New York
can have 50 much influence upon the question
am17g 9 Of the restoration of the Union may not be
'i9 apparent to the reader at first blush, inasmuch
that election is not for members of Con-

The political complexion Of the next Con-

loyal state and under the law as it now
stands, it is believed no other states can be

we can explain the Worlds meaning. -igga e
That paper intends, evidently, to beget the
% b'as ha impression that should New York go Demo-
caatic, President johnson will regard il as an
iFa INDIGESTION that his apian" is popular with the

a he will reorganize his Cabinet call around him

uaiso9 lot with the Democratic party, and ignore and
turn his back upon the men and the party to
whom and to which he is indebted for the
position he now occupies. If the New York

the Democrats, and result in the triumph of

Republican Congress now elected, and the sig
Bsti nal for putting the knife to an within reach Of
executive power who dare resist or oppose
President Johnsonls plariior an immediate
restoration of the Union." This, and nothing
S3 less than this, we take to be the meaning of
the paragraphs above quoted from the World.
s This Interpretation is fully borne eout by the
following faom the same paper and the same
article 80 go orr,
Ae Doubtless the circumstance is singular that
RlE within a year from his election the Chic
Magistrate should find the success of the great
s---@a and first measure of his administration i'm
periiled by the triumph at, the polls of the
very meh who elected hiln.A IN
To give emphasis to, the ayowal made in the
'a@ first extract above quoted from the World the
e@4 editor Of that paper goes on to say after sug
costing objections anticipated from the Presi
- dents early friends, who nominated and elect
ed him In 1884. 'aaa@
sI94o0O But nevertheless persist IN asserting its
truth as confidently as If we heard the ayog
al iast week rom his, own lips. The unani
ssTs 70 nous endorsement Of the great first and mo-
~ - mentpus measure of his administration by the
nnosi9l Democratic party is SsaG tdcte evidence al
