There wuz or three more Gen Carey,
| Nv Ohio, requested the President to move
him from his Collectorship, ez the holdin

finally we cum to wun, the seal Nv witch

bowle-knife couchant, supported by trottin
horses, on a field Nv green cloth. 1t wuz
from Hon. John Morrissey, who he'd just
been elected to Congress in Moo York
Mr. Morrissey remarked, that ez one NV
the pillars Nv the Democracy, he felt he he'd
a rite to speek. He wished it to be under
stood that he washed his hands Nv any con-
nection with Johnson or his party. He he'd
seed life. In States where the Democra-
sy, Nv which he wuz piller, he'd tied them
selves to johnson, they he'd gone down to

otis restrained him from sayin that the De-
mocrasy coodent carry such cussid load,
but he wood say that the result Nv the

solely on muscle and niger, witch is the
reel Democratic capital, and succeeded,
while, where the Democracy wuz loaded
down with Johnsonianism, they failed, sat
isfed him that the President wuz inkubus.
He said this with all doc respeck for the
offs. Mr.. Morrissey further remarked that
he he'd also personel reasons for making
this request. He commenced in humble
position, and he'd filled the eye long enuff
to satisfy his modest ambishen-he he'd
wallOped Sullivan and Heenan--hed owned
the fastest horses and won more money at
faro than any man in Amerika. His ambish
en- wuz satisfied so fur ez he was concerned
but he hoped to leave behind him for his
infant son, (Which wuz Only twelve years
of age, and wich he'd development of in
teiieck and muscle remarkable for one so
tender, hevin already walloped every boy
in the skool to wich he wuz going, he
desired to leave that son honorable name
1t he'd been given out that he wuz a sup
porter NV the individooal who okkupied the
Presidenshal offs, and it wuz inioorin him.
He wished that stigma removed-a REGARD
FOR HIS REPUrAsHEN forced him to insist up
on it.

There wuz silence in the Cabinet. This
last stroke intensified the gloom witch he'd
settled onto the government, and ez turn
ed my tear-bedewed eyes l saw the great
drops coarsin down the cheeks Nv every
one present Mr.. Seward retired without
sayin anything about ninety days, and one
by one they all departed
1t was solemn time. Their wuz other
letters yet to be read, but no one he'd the
heart to open 'em. made move in that
direckshun, but Androo prevented me. "I'm
sick" murmured he in husky voice, wich
showed that his heart wuz peerced-"Help |

Intellectual head beneath the snowy kivrin |
TX his Uneasy couch, all but the nose, witch |
in him is the thermometer Nv the sole, and
wich accordingly glowed, not with the |
yoosooal brilliant hue, but with dull, dead
and ghastly bloc. Noticin the convulsive
heavins Nv the kivers, wich betrayed the |
agitashen Nv the breast beneath, | whis-
pered in his ear ez l handed him his mite |

over his nose, but it subsidized in an instant. |
