ficials aud the diplomatic corps They
we're much impressed with the bearing
of the President ard are prepared to
correct the impression which has been
inculcated in the South that Andrew
Johnson Is q rough, uncouth vulgarian.
On the contrary, be is an easy, digni~
fed gentleman, bearing himself like a
man who feels the importance of his
position, and is determined to dis
charge it faithfully. On the trip to
Washington and the return trip, they
were noticed everywhere with the con-

appointing all the old officers in dIff-r-
