The " LORD OF TIE woRLD TAILOR BY TRADE.

The LORD OF TIE WORLD TAILOR BY TRADE.
In speech made to the tailors' Protective Asso-
citation, at Philadelphia, on Thursday, President
johnson is reported as saying
" l do not intend to be facetious here to night,
but we should remember when we refer to the
mechanical interests of the country in connection
with the agricultural, it is the basis upon which
this Government rests and when we refer to
the profession that you represent here tonight in
connection with you, my fellow citizens in COM
mon, let me say that our great father and head,
the Lord of the world, was a tailor by trade
[great cheering] and when you refer to the histo-
ric account Of this thing you win find that my
remarks are literally true.'

A CURIOUS "SocrAL QUESTION AN old So
cial question - is now under discussion amongst
some of the Southern papers, viz: Whether
" Southern communities should longer hesitate
to extend social courtesies to the Federal officers
stationed in their midst" The Richmond Times
and Dispatch hold that such courtesies should be
extended A Norfolk paper, however, calls its
Richmond contemporaries to task for obtruding
oficous advice upon most delicate subject,
hitherto denied any direct notice by theSouthern
press" and says with solemn severity, a mans
home is his temple, and as the chief high priest,
he alone is to be the judge of the fitness or unfit
ness ofany individual or class to enter its holy
precints." The Norfolk editor seems to have
been badly reconstructed

A DIFFERENCE Andrew johnson receiv-
ed the news of his nomination to the Vice Presi-
dency he was in Memphis, at the st. Cloud Ho-
tel. He made speech, accepting the nomina-
ton, and in the course of his remarks thus alud-
ed to the necessity of securing the control of the
Government to loyal men
say that the traitor has ceased to be a citizen
and in joining the rebellion has become public
enemy. He forfeited his right to vote with 10y
al men when he renowned his citizenship and
sought to destroy our Government. We say to
the most honest ond industrious foreigner who
comes from England and Germany to dwell
among US. and to add to the wealth of the coun-
try Before you can be citizen you must
stay here for five years" If we are so cautious
about foreigners, who voluntarily renounce their
homes to live with u.s. what should we say to the
traitor who, although born and reared among US,
has raised parricidal hand against the Govern
ment which always protected him? My judgment
is, that he should be subjected to severe ordeal
before he is restored to citizenship.
This is precisely the ground that the Union
men take now. They have not changed, but the
President has.

ga SUBSIDIZED Press There is not paper

not sustain Congress and oppose 81 my policy"
Mr.. johnson, therefore, in talking about &C a sub

He tried to substitute the press as he did the men
who held Federal Offices, but failed. There new
er was more sublime spectacle presented than
that shown in the bold front exhibited by the
Union press of the United States, in connection
with the great mass of gentlemen who held Office,
from Cabinet Ministers down, to be bribed by
Executive patronage. Never, since the days of
John Tyler, was such an attempt made to cor
