# an interview held last Sunday with
President johnson by John N. Langston,
ESQ.,, the eloquent and able colored orator
md lawyer Of Oberlin. Mr.. Lsngston ar
lived in Washington on Friday, but the
heavy pressure of national business pre-
the Presidents giving him audi
snce until the Sabbath. He went there to
before the President the case of & pri-
rate OF Edgsrton's Battery, formerly of
Lorain county, who was arrested
and thrown into prison on the charge of
grand larceny, many months ago, and dis
honorably discharged the service. There
was evident injustice done the soldier, and
Mr.. L. procured from Captain W. Dorsey,
in whose company the private had formerly
been, certificates as to his good moral char
and correct soldierly bearing. Armed
with these, Mr.. Lsngston spread the
casa before the President, whose ac-
quaintance, it may be stated, he form
ed in Nashville last winter. and who
heard him with great kindness and atten-
ton. The President Immediately wrote an
order for the release of the soldier from
prison, his Reinstatement in the company
and the payment of some $500, the amount
of his regular wages during the time of his
imprisonment.
Mr.. Langston is highly pleased with the
happy result of the interview, as he may
well b., on personal grounds as well as out
of Consideration Of the Presidents generous
deed, and We congratulate him on the issue
Of the audience, which is 50 highly COM
plimentary to himself.
