The BLACK TIDE.-Kentucky having been
exempted from the Pres ident's emancipation
proclamation, and the legislature Of that
state having passed no emancipation act. of
course slavery still legally exists in tina
state. AS abcli,icndom, however, has de-
cided that the negroes there shall be free,
law or now law, they have found an ldmira
bic instrument in Gen. Palmer, who has de-.
cided that slavery no longer exit, there ''be-
cause it is contrary 70 the spirit Of the age
So, when the master undertakes to exercise
ownership over his property the slave
goes 10 Palmer or one of his lieuiensnts and
gets pass, which takes him across the Ohio

Us are getting quite freiful over the mat;.r r,

President Johnson's Public Policy.

President johnson has taken the earliest
possible occasion to put his foot upon the state
suicide doctrine.And the emphasis With which
he has done it is an earnest OF how cordially
he reprobates the doctrine. That is good
He holds that there being no power OF seces-
sion in a state, the insurgent states are In
the Union still, and that all that is necessary
to restore them to their old relations Is the
setting in motion the machinery of their local
governments by their loyal people. We thank
him for the enumeration. In this he reflects
the conservative sentiment of the country
and most previously disappoinsments the rad
ical abolitionists.
President johnson insists that punishment
should be inflicted upon leaders of the rebel
lion. On this question the democracy will
make no issue with the president. That the
present temper of the country demands that
some examples shall be made of rebel leaders,
there is no room to doubt. The extent OF
these examples will be covered largely BY
time and circumstances President johnson
would carry them to the extent that treason
shall not hereafter be. respectable" The
question is one of the highest craftsmanship.
So that the motive of punishment Is not re-
venge, but justice, and this be tempered with
mercy 80 that the purpose be simply and
solely to subserve the best public policy
there is no danger that examples will be too
numerous or carried too far.
Here, then, are two questions on which
President johnson and the democracy will
not stand apart. And they will not stand
apart on the slavery question, for that is dis
posed of. And when the next great questions
shall arise, when we shall reach the ques-
tions of bank tariff, and taxation. which will
be not long hence,-if President johnson still
holds, as we believe he does hold, to his old
Jacksonian democratic principles, IN which
he was nutured, he and the democracy will
not stand apart on those questions Chicago

Hon. Andrew johnson, president of the
United States, is in the ifty-sixth year of his
age. His family resides at present in Nash
vile, Tennessee, and consists of his wife aud
four children, two sons and two daughters
Ills son Robert is twenty nine, and Andrew
johnson, Jr., is twelve years of age. His
two daughters with their families also reside
in Nashville. having been driven from their
homes in Eastern Tennessee. One OF Mr..
Johnson's sons, Charles, a surgeon in the ar
my, was thrown from his horse in the year
1868, and killed and Col Slower, a son-in-
law, commanding the 4th regiment of Tennes-
see infantry, was killed in the battle of Nash
Vile, while gallantly leading his command on
the 18th of December, 1864. Judge Patter-
son, who is also son in law of the president,
lives in Nashville. Mrs. johnson has been
in very delicate health for some time past,
and it is probable Mrs. Colonel Slower will
preside over the presidential household.
