1t is a remarkable fact that while Mr..
johnson was surrounded on the occasion
Of his recent harangue, by a crowd OF
semi-secessionists aRd copperheads, among
them the counsel for the assassins Of
Abraham Lincoln, loyal men, leaders in
the party which elected Mr.. Lincoln, were
treated with indignity and excluded from
the grounds. The following dispatch to
the Chicago Republican gives IN instance
of the sort, which, as we happen to know,
is paralleled by many others:
While the crowd were surging to and
fro in front Of the White House, waiting for
the President to come, John Wentworth,
who was in front, and near to the guard,
was pressed back by the soldiers. He re-
moBstrated quietly, when a policeman came
up and said he would arrest him if he did
not keep still. Mr.. Wentworth said he had
not misbehaved, and dared him to try it.
The officer said he would if he did not keep
quiet. Nj. Wentworth replied that he
should not keep quiet, and he (the police
mani dared not arrest him. With a loud
voice, he (Wentworth) said: "Ycu have
murdered Lincoln, and now you want to
destroy Johnson" Just then one Of Mrs
Surratt's counsel came up inside of the
guard, and took the policeman away, when
no more ogtbursts took place"

An Ample APOLOGY.

A gentleman was called upon to apollo
gize for words uttered over wine.
q beg pardon said he, a did not
mean to say what I did; but I've had the
misfortune to lose some of my front teeth,
and words get out every now and then
without my knowinga word about it,
He was going on, when a friend pulled
him down by the coat tail, saying: Don't
say one word more. Never was there a
more perfect apology. If you add a word
more you'll spoilit.'

he indianapolis Journa! says

Throughout the central part of Indiana,
the late cold weather has materially dam
aged the prospect for a fruit crop the en-
suing summer, peach buds are very gen
orally killed. All the more tender varie-
ties Of cherries are in the same condition.
R~aspberries Of the European varieties,
where they were not protected, have suf-
fered severely. 1t is not too early tospeak
with certainty of the condition of the
grape buds, but there is reason to hope
that the damage is but slight, and con
fined to the tender varieties. Peach trees,
cherry trees, and grape vines have es-
capped with but slight damage.

The Boston Post fastening, like all
Democrats, to the defense of its new
friend, thinks that, as the opposition Of
some prominent Republicans did not in
jure Mr.. Lincoln, "Mr. johnson at this
"day will hardly be annihilated by the
" wrath of radical Senators or editors
The Post doesn't appreciate the fact that
the loyal people were all for Mr.. Lincoln,
and that since Mr.. Johnson's veto and
speech they are all against him. Such Il
food of popular Indignation and disgust
was never witnessed before, as that which
is about to overwhelm Andrew johnson,
the renegade.

NeNsnaper WrnngIIng.

A very animated contest has already
begun between the Constitutional Union,
Colonel Florence's Democratic organ, the
old National InteIligeneer and the RePu5-
Iiean, for the organship of Andrew John
aon's Administration. 1t is supposed
that the gallant leader of Democracy Of
the First district will bear off the palm.
Considering that the Colonel has been the
steady and really the honest enemy OF
Andrew johnson and Abraham Lincoln,
having never for a moment denied his
opinions, he should receive the prece-
dence.

The Sandusky Register administers &c
the Cleveland Herald the following de-
served rebuke for its course in reference
to the Presidents recent infamous speech
"Ofa all the Union journals in the couniI ,
only the New York Times and the Cleye,
land Herald are capable of the inefahle act
of approving ap address which has humili-
ated the nation and brought a blush to the
cheek Of every sensible man"
The sentiment which the Register ex-
presses is shared by every right-thinking
man. The journals who make haste to
defend and eulogize such speeches as that
of Mr.. johnson, disgrace themselves be-
yond redemption.

ENGLISH FASHIONABLE SCHOOLS.
How the Daughters of the British
A~ristOeracY are Disciplined by heir
TutOrs-Lettcrs from the Parents
and Guardians Of the Victims.

The practice Of 1oggingpupils i~nschools
is still kept up in England to an extent
that we can hardly credit in this country.
From recent articles in the new London
journal, The Queen, it appears that this
barburious mode of punishment prevails
in the best schools to which the children
OF families Of high social position are sent,
and that it is not confined to boys alone.
but is inflicted in the most indicate man
ner on girls and even On young ladies of
manageable age. We quote the follow
ing passages from a number Of letters that
have recently appeared in The Queen:
From the Queen, January IS.
Some time ago, in consequence Of an
advertisement in the London Times. |
opened up negotiations with a lady who
keeps Il large school in the vicinity of
London, and which resulted in my placing
my daughter, now just turned fifteen
years of age, under her care. My wife
informs me that since her return from
school this Christmas, the first since Join
ing the school, my daughter has had 10
submit on or Two occasions to the APP
~plication of the old-fashioned birch, in
the presence Of her schoulfellows. and
that, too in not the most delicate fashion.
Ny wish is t. know whether this custom
still obtains at other boarding schools be
sides this one, and up to what age the pu-
pills have to submit to this style of currec
ton? I am told that several pupils older
than my daughter have been whipped
during the past half year, and that their
friends, many Of them moving in the
higher ranks of life, are CogniZant of the
fact, and show no disapproval. 1 should
be glad to know the opinion Of some of
your readers.

1t is now known that Secretary Harlan
has positively signifed his intention OF re-
| signing as soon as he shall have consum-
mated some measures pertaining to the
Interior Department which have origin
ated under mis- administration.
THE NEW YORK CoLLEcToRsHIP.
A dispatch to the New York World
says:
The last few days have oversloughed all
the prominent candidates for this position.
A new candidate is in the field, and he
will undoubtedly carry of the prize. He
is q johnson man without an if. We
are not at liberty TO use his name at pre-
sent, as it might bring down an avalanche
Of politicians here to the great annoyance
of the President.
A NEGRO OFFICER.
Major D. G. belong, of Ohio, the first
negro mustered into the service Of the
United States as an officer, was not in
cluded in the order mastering out his regi-
ment the other day. Gen. Sickles bears
hearty testimony 10 his Sc: vices and char
acter, and asked his retention, that he
might assign him to special duty in the
Freedmen's Bureau in South Carolina.
VISITORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
The number calling on the President
to-day was very large. Among those who
had interviews with the President were
Governors Cox, of Ohio; Sharkey, of
Mississippi; Parsons, of Alabama; Cen
erals Steadman, McCook, CroNton, SEN
aters Lane, Of Kansas, and McDougal,
with several Representatives and others.
THUELow WEED on II SPEECH
Thurlow Weed telegrqphed from New
York on Thursday afternoon, ratifying
the Presidents course and offensive
speech Of Thursday, as follows:
10 Senator Morgan:
"All right here in Washington and in
the country. The work is done"
UNION MASS MEETING.
A mass meeting of the Unionists viii
be held on Thursday, to indorse Congress.
The call is signed by all the Lincoln cleo
tors and the prominent UniOnists at Bal
timere. Senators Fessenden and Cress-
well, Generals Schenck and Garfield, and
other prominent members Of Congress,
lave been invited to address the meeting.
Rebels are arming themselves, and fears
are entertained that they VIII attempt TO
break up the meeting. Unionists, how
ever, are prepared for any such contin-
gency.
CORRESPONDENTS BETWEEN THE PRESI-
DENT SOUTHERN GOVERNORS.
1t is2scertained that the correspondence
between the President and the Southern
Governors and the official documents
called for by q resolution passed by the
Senate about two months ago, were col
lected by the State Department and for
warded TO the President over four weeks
ago, but they have beenso far withheld by
the President. The circumstance Is
looked upon as indicating that the cores
pondenee and documents contain things
shedding so ~unfavorable a light upon the
Presidents reconstruction policy as to
render it desirable for His Excellency not
to have them published. 1t is expected
that the call for the papers will be repeat
ed at an early day, and it remains to be
seen whether the President will still re-
fuse to give the people an inside view of
the workings of his system.

MADAM: As I I'M writing anonv-
mously, l have no objection to informing
"A. F. w that at a great many ladies'
boarding schools the birch is very extern
siyely used. l was myself for four years
ut a strict boarding school at Bath, until
l was seventeen, and for certain otfensos
we were most severely whipped by the
mistress, but privately in her own room.
l know several of my friends who have
been at other schools, and have always
heard that punishment was inflicted for
some otfenses. l remember a ease of a
girl over sixteen who refused to submit
until her parent mother was written to;
out the end Of it WAS that she received
twelve most severe strokes. No one can
conceive the strictness of a large boarding
school and the tyranny of the ~governness.

You are tanning the fire of discord in the
Union ranks with an activity worthy Of
all praise. l wish ! was there to take Il
had at the bellows, but, my dear fellow,
you must get rid Of Stanton before 7 can
cross the line. Tell our friends not to
trust Johnson too far. He is too loyal for
Us and means it. Don't demand anything
Of johnson, for fear he may give You the
cold shoulder. Don't press him too hard
to make speeches. a you observe that in
all the speeches he makes he insists upon
the election Of loyal men.
That was a damned hard rap he gave
the Virginia delegation. The chairman
mad Just proposed Gen. Lee for Governor
Of Virginia, and in the face Of that fact
johnson told the delegation that if there
were only five hundred loyal men in a
State, and all the rest were disloval, he
was IN favor Of ignoring the latter, and
giving the offices to the former.
