; weeks issue, in the leading article; head
ed 'The Situation" Andrew Johnson is
thus charged with completely i'll the as

When, from the land of the stranger, a

Of complicity, We all shrugged our shOul-

has done more for it than ten oictores gained
By Lee.
The "head upon which a price was
set" is that Of Geo. \. Sanders, who, it
viii be remembered, charged in pnb-
lished letter that Mr. johnson was at the
bottom of the assassination. This infa-
nous charge is now reiterated in the
above guarded form by the acknowledg-

ORIGIN OF q. THANKSGIvNG.-

this festival was peculiar to New Eng

pointed during the month of November
The credit of its institution is generally
ascribed to the Pilgrim Fathers" but i'll
fact it's of English rather than Ameri

been called the "Gunpowder Plot" dur

Of genaral thanksgiving was at that
time appointed. as appears by the iol-

Mai. Gen. Carl schurz at the White
House, -.r


This hero of few unsuccessful battle
: fields;S it is reported, met with very
cool reception from the President on the
recent occasion Of his visit. He was
kept waiting i'll the anti-room nearly
halfs day while his bitters We're served,
and On his final admission was quickly
disposed of The immediate cause of
this disfavor-fs that, during his recent
semi-oficial trip through the Sonth,
ESchurz, thdagh' ostensibly engaged in
looking after the affairs of the Freed
mems Bureau, spent most OF his efforts
in attempting to organize a Republican,
rarty in that section. 1t is asserted
that he sought to convince the people OF
? the States that he passed through, that
the question of their re-admission would
depend entirely upon their joining that
party.
.Schurz is a political demagogUc of the
Red Repnblican school and OF the red
dest.and most fanatical class. He IS
fine elocutionist, and there all his good
qualities end As public speaker he
rendered the Republican party all the
, service in his power during tue Pres
3denial campaign Of 1860, and Tor that
wGs rewarded with the mission to Spain.

Of the many poor political generals that
