WIZ called in haste to Washington to be

causes uy the unparalleled looseni1 Nv the Ma
shnel Union Johnson Dimokratic party in the var-
Gus States wich held elections the ninth Nv Oc-
tober last. There Seward McCulloch and
Randall present but we missed Raymond and
Beecher, they hevin, understand, played off on

The President wuz gloomy. He hedn't an
ticipated the defeat. He spected that heving
showed hisself through all the Northern States
ther ought to hev ben enthooziasm enough evol-
we'd to hev carried EN- without trouble. The
fault, he remarked, coodent be with his policy.

in it, that it incomprehensible to him why
the people didn' t at once adopt it, why, look
at it," sed he. 81 offered the people NV the
North peace on the simple condishun NV sayin
nothin more about the the mutual troub-
le wich they found therselves into, and rushin
into the arms nv their Southern brethren, and
takin NV back jest they went out How,

olive branches?i
Randall replied that he coodent understand it,
but he he'd summoned . Postmaster to attend,

ance that he could carry enough Republicans
over to our new party to defeat the Union member
elected by larger majority than he he'd ever re-
seeyed. and he wuz in waitin.

and the guard brung him in. A mizrable lookin
obiick he wuz. Ez soon Ell he saw the stern eye
NV the President fixed on him he sunk to his
knees and lifted up his hands mploringly, with
