LINcoLN's LAST ESTIMATE OF JOHNSON. -Three
DAYS before the murder of Mr. Lincoln, he had
made arrangements for an afternoon ride with
certain members of his family, and the hour of
two clock was fixed upon At that time, the
President not appearing, word was sent to him
that the party was waiting for him. He returned
an answer that The Vice President had called up
on him, and that he should not be able go. Mr..
johnson remained about two hours, when the
President joined his family, and, in conversation
regarding the delayed ride, remarked, with much
apparent concern 'sThdt miserable man! can
not anticipate the trouble he aoW cause me during
my second term of office"
Such were with scarcely doubt, the last
words spoken by Mr.. Lincoln concerning the
present occupant of the White House and spo-
ken as they were in the privacy of his own fami
ly circle, they were doubtless the full and free
expression of his real belief Cincinnati Gazette.

SCARCITY OF GAME.-One of the remarkable cir
cumstances of the present is the scarcity of
game. 1t is subject of universal complaint,
both in town and country. Our marksmen are
deprived of their favorite sport, and our country
cies for the market The birds have evidently
taken their flight to some more congenial region
to satisfy the appetites ofthe epicure or supply
the necessities of different class of men. The
few which still linger with are hunted from
rock to glen, and from mountain gorge to the
quiet retreats OF the dim wood, where the fallen
leaves echo to the tread of the rabbit, and the
winds at times moan dismally through the naked
branches OF the leahess trees. The pursuit of the
remorseless sportsman is incessant. and the crack
of his fowling piece is heard wherever feather
is seen, or the rustic OF wing disturbs the quiet
of forest or field.

Two MEMBERS OF THE HAPPY FAMILY The
Memphis Appeal responds to the Chicago Time,
negro suffrage article in the following remarka-
BILE terms
The Times is not the representative of the De-
mocracy Of the North. 1t is rather one of those
industrial concerns that seeks to make money
1t has said many good things, and sometimes has
been right, but it has not always been right. II
the Democratic party had been properly led, Hi
nois would not have exceeded her quota in the
field by more than fifty thousand men, and the
blood of her sons would not have stained so ma
ny battle fields.
In this the Appeal PROFESSIONALLY does the
Times injustice No zealot ever labored more
earnestly for his faith than the latter journal did
to prevent Illinois from putting her quota in the
field, during the war for the Union, and to defeat
the efforts of the Government to suppress the
Southern rebellion. Let the appeal be just. The
Times aided treason all it could or dared.

CALvERToN, Nd, Nov. 23, 1866.
Messrs. Editors Not having seen a commu-
ncation from this place to your valuable paper
for long time, and not wishing it to be forgot
ten, propose TO give you few items
The defeat of the Union party by the Rebel
Johnson--Swann-Demo --Conservative--Na-
tional- Union-party in Baltimore County, has had
the effect to-if possble-more firmly bind to-
gether the loyal men of this neighbOrhood, and
make them still more determined to stand Ivy
Congress in its efforts to unite the country i'll
bonds strong and eternal. Notwithstanding the
State Militia, which lives here you know, is with
Johnson and Swami, our people who haze been
Union people are still loyal to the governing pow
ers of the country. The State Militia is tremend-
GUS tbig thing and has heretofore been in the
habit ofloudly procaiming its loyalty, and the
people of that faith here were wont to look up to
it, but when it left the old landmarks and re-
ported its forces to the renegade heads they con-
cluded to let the militia go, and lift could assist
the holder of that wonderful "Great Seal " to
induce the Registrars to put " liberal construc-
ton " on the registry law, they would in no
wise be responsible for whatever fperjury might
be committed by the " dear" fellow citizens of
the humble individual No. 2.
Having had a few leisure hours the other day,
l strolled into the enclosures of the County Aims
House, and after viewing the grounds, which
contain about 40 acres of the most beautiful
building sites in the vicinity of Baltimore, OBJ
tanned permission to visit the institution, which,
together with the farm, is superintended by Mr..
Abraham Cole, of H., who very kindly showed
me through and very satisfactorily explained the
workings of the place. There are at present in
the house 80 inmates, 26 males, "a females A
Whites, 6 Blacks, all female, there not being a
single colored man in the house. found the in
mates well clothed and well fed, and in passing
through the departments could not help noticing
the scrupulous cleanliness.
The Commissioners were fortunate in securing
the services ofso humane and kind a gentleman
and one So altogether fitted for the duties as Mr..
Cole. The physician to the Aims House is DR..
L. A. Monmonier, of the County, and judging
from the sanitary regulations and the condition
of the inmates, he must be an energetic and pro-
icient officer.
There is large tract of land here belonging to
the County to be disposed of, and had intended
to make some suggestions to the Commissioners
in regard to it, but have already taken up too
much of yourspace and wlldef them. Alta.

says, in an article on the situation
What Mr. johnson will do, we do not know.
The fact is, we do not see what he can do. His
role is difficult one. He appealed to the people
and the people--of the North, at least-repudia-
ted him and his policy. We use plain language
and call things by their right names, for there is
no use in attempting to gloss them over. Should
this rejection of Mr.. Johnson and his policy be f.
nal, and should he .'cave in" the South will, in
all probability, be no more the loser than she
would be if he adhered to his present policy. 1t
would be a mere mental adhesion for he would
be without the power TO enforce it. saan
President johnson has simply to,carry out the
wishes and purpose ofthose who brought the war
to close, and all will be well with both sections.
Instead Of continuing to setiup his own against
the popular will, he should accept the situation
as it is, and hasten the work of restoration by
cheerfully cooperating with those to whom the
country has assigned the task Of reconstruction.

SLANDER-There is no man who holds q more
despicable position in the community than the
common sanderer, and yet there is none who re-
ceives less punishment from indignant people.
He seems to enjoy kind ofimmunity in his con-
duct and claims an intutive right to play the
scoundrel. Occasionally, a jury can be empan-
nelled which imposes vindictive damages in rare
cases, but the majority of these rascas either
cape entirely unwipped of justice, or have mere
nominal damages imposed upon them with costs.
And yet the crime OF which they are guilty, prop
erly considered, is one of the highest known to
the law There is no offence more destructive OF
the best interests of society 1t poisons to great
err or less extent every fountain Of public health
and prosperity. 1t assails every class the COM
munity youth with its warm bushes and bouy-
ant heart; manhood with its high impulses and
bounding energies, and old age with its wrinkled
brow and palsied hands. None are exempt from
its malicious and vindictive attacks. 1t enters
the bowers of beauty, and plucks the roses from
its cheek. 1t looks in upon the door of innocence
aud the flowers which grow upon its threshold
wither and die at its approach. 1t is sin, alb
horrent to man and condemned Of heaven. Il
stands arrayed against the eternal canon of the
Almighty, delivered amid the flames and thun'
ders of Mt. Sinai thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against thy neighbor." God protect the pure
and the virtuous from the advances of this insid
nous fiend. 1t is sufficient that his poison should
be~wasted among the low and the Profigate.
