As the country is now interested in all
that relates to Andrew johnson, and es-
peciaIly in his record" were produce the
following. The other day we published
his vote in favor Of the "Crittenden Com
promise" on the ID Of March, 1851, and
before the war. After the war had begun,
he offered, on the oath Of July, 1851, in
the Senate, the following resolution--be-
ing the same as that offered by Mr.. Crit
tenden in the House Of Representatives on
the 22d of July
Resolved, That the present deplorable civ
Il war has been forced upon the country by
the disunionis,s OF the Southern States, now
in arms against the Constitutional Govern
ment, and in arms around the Capitol that
ia this National emergency, Congress, Danish
ing all feeling OF mere passion end resent
menl, will reeollect ONLY its duty to the whole
country that this war is not waged 90 their
part 10 any spirit Of oppression or for any
purpose of conquest or sHDUgation, or pur-
pose Of OperthrOtCfRg or Interfering with
The RIGHTS or established institutions Of
those States, but to defend and maintain the
supremacy Of the Constitution, and TO pre-
serve the Union, with all The dignity, equality,
aud rights Of The several States uHfnipdired;
and that as soon as these objects are accom-
plished the Ddr. ought 10 cease.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Sumner, it
was laid upon the table, but the next day
was called up by Mr., johnson. A debate
of some length followed. Mr.. Polk, Of
Missouri, proposed that the war should be
charged upon Northern disunionists also.
To which johnson replied "The resolu-
ton does nothing but set forth single fact
particularly, as it has occurred since THE
contest commenced Trumbull, of Illinois,
and other Republican Senators, objected
to the denial that "subjugation" was the
object of the war, To which johnson
replied. :. "Of course the resolution con-
templates the enforcement Of the laws and
submission Of the rebels to the laws and
the Constitution. The resolution simply
states that we are not waging war for
the subjugation of States. II The Con-
sftuhon is maintained aud tho 1aws car
ried ou, THE STATES TAKE THEIR PLACES
AND ALL REBEL CITIZENS HUsT SUBMIT.
Thar IS THE WHOLE OF IT." This is
very different FROM the "Solieitor Whiting
theory" which territoralixes the seeded
States. 1t is remarkable that while Jehn-
sons speeches before the war and since,
made in the Senate, are very bitter against
treason and traitors, threatening the ex-
treme penalties Of the law, they contain
nothing definite about slavery. And tbs
same is equally true of all his remarks since
his Inauguration as President and
President. He is yet to declare his policy
distinctly upon that most troublesome ot
questions for he is not bound by the
policy or proclamations of his predecessor
Let not the Radicals" rejoice too soon
In any event he declares himself against
consolidation.

The Lady OF the white House.

1t seems that the statement in some of
the newspapers, that President johnson
is a widower, turns out to be mistake.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says "He has
an exemplary and accomplished vile liv-
ing. to whom he is indebted for his educa-
ton But as she is somewhat advanced
in years, and in feeble health, her daughter,
Mrs. stoyes will preside over the White
House. This lady's late husband, Colo
mel Slower. was killed on the 18th of 'Des
cember, 1864, while at the head of his
regiment, the Fourth Tennessee Volunteers,
in the battle Of Nashville. President
Johnson's son, Charles, surgeon ia the
volunteer service, was thrown from his
horse in 1868. and killed. He has now
four children living, viz Robert, Mrs
Patterson, Mrs. Stoyer, and Andrew, jr.,
the latter bright lad, some twelve years
Of age"

Fatal Arrays in Memphis.

CAIRO. June S0.-On the evening OF the
9th an alteration occurred in Mem phis be-
tweet John Dougherty and comrade named
resulted in Dougherty's receiving an ugly pis-
toll shot wound in the right side. Breen was
arrested. They were both young men and at
tachees of the Theatre. Doughertys recovery
is considered doubtful Another alteration
occurred ip another portion of the city on the
same evening, between Patrick Meehan and
VIM. Fox The disturbance, at first slight
turned into regular quarrel, and from words
descended to blows. Fox was cripple, !hav.
ng but one leg, and carried heavy cane with
which he struck. Meehan over the head, who
having pistol in his hand at once swung it
round and fired. The ball struck the unfor-
tunate man in the neck, who, before the report
had died away, fell dead upon the pavement.
Neehan had been in the Confederate service,
under Forrest some years, and had been in the
city but few days. He made no effort to es-
cape, but gave himself up to the officer, who
ledg him in the Station House.

about his JET. DAVIS story, which zen.
Wool has pronounced falsehood. In
stead of gracefully acknowledging that ne

charging Us with sympathy for the rebel
cbiettain, and "grudge at the old sol
diers and defenders of the flag" This is
done to relieve himself from suspicion Of
having attempted to humbug the public,
and when cornered, of subornation of per-
Jury. We must inform Captain NEwsoN
that be cannot escape the consequences Of
his foolishness by artfully lodging the true
issue between US, and that all his skirmish-
ing on that line will avail him nothing but
the contempt of intelligent readers. Capt.
NEwsoH, if be was an older Eve do not

before this that old soldiers, as well as sail
OTIS, sometimes spin yarnsthat would require
q number of afidavits to substantiate.
This disposition to romance on the part OF
these classes does not involve serious NOR
al delinquency. The old soldier enjoys the
open-eared and wide-mouthed wonder OF
the new recruit, while the old sailor can
not overcome his prediction to humbug
"the marines." Capt. NEwsoNs old SOL
der is only type Of his class, but was
unusually fortunate in making commits

A Real Tragedy on the Stage.

A theatrical biography, just published,
relates the following as having actually &C.

when the arrival OF fresh visitors appeared
to divert his Lordship from the terrible
thoughts that preyed on his mind. To
vary the diversions of the party, it was
proposed that amateur performances OF
theatricals should be got up at the man
sion. Lord C+"leman readily consented.
A large hall in tie mansion was fitted up
in fine style. The play selected was
"Othelo," which was rehearsed. The
cast vas curiously enough arranged; his
Lordship was the Moor, her Ladyship was
Desdemona, and the Major was cast for
Cassie. The piece went on with great ecldt
until the last scene, when lOthelo, over
whelmed with jealous rage, smothers bis

by his fit of jealousy, performed so adml-

wonder and admiration Of all of his guests.
But imagine the horror and CONSERVATION
when it was discovered that it was no
place of acting that his Lordship had gone
through but reality. The Lady C+*le-
man had in fact been murdered! A Cor

and q verdict of accidental death was
rendered, which saved his Lordshi2's life
and reputation. From that time he be.
came an altered man. The mansion was
shut up, and his Lordship went to the
Continent to reside, where he died, and
his remains had Just been brought home.
