President Johnson and the Figure Seven.
OF the New York Express.

Correspondence or the New ork Z press
WASHINGTON, April II, 1865.
There is something remarkable in the
frequent recurrence of the figure sepen,
in connection with the history of Presi-
dent Johnson, and j have taken the
trouble to note this circumstance, which
may be of interest to the public. His
name. johnson. it will be perceived, has
seven letters in it; he commenced TO
learn 4 trade at fourteen years of age,
which is twice seven He served seven
wears at his trade finishid his trade at
twenty-one years of age, which is three
times seven. He was elected alderman
of the town of Greenville, n c., in 1898.
making multiple of four times seven.
He was elected to the Legislature of
Tennessee in 1885, which is q multiple of
five times seven; and was then aged
twenty seven. He was elected to the
Congress in 1913. aged thirty five, which
is five times seven. He was elected to
the United States Senate in 1857. aged
forty nine. which is seven times seven.
He was appointed the Military Governor
/ Of Tennessee on the seventh of March
| 1862 and was nominated for the Vice
Presidency in 1864; aged fifty six. which
| is eight times seven. To say the least,
this is somewhat remarkable occurrence
of single figure IN one mans public
| life He viii no doubt be successful in
| bringing back the original seven Seces-
sion States, and make the Union seven
NEST as strong as ever it was before the
rebellion. May Gods blessing rest upon
him and may he live to be aged seventy
/ times seven
/ And perhaps he will assist in pouring
/ out the seven phials of wrath on the
] heads of traitors DautoH Journal.
