While in Washington last week we called
upon President Johnson and asked him the
direct quest ion, what he thought of the wis
dom and propriety of adopting our constltu-
tional amendment DISTINGUISHING rebels. The
substance of his answer is this: That If the
Union men of West Virginia thought there
was danger of the State Government getting
into hands of contumacious and unrepentant
rebels il was right TO disframchise them but
if there was no danger of this, then, of course,
the measure was unnecessary, and he would
not recommend us 10 adopt it. Blu. he said it
was q local question, of the wisdom of which
the Union men of the State should be their
own Judges. Will the Coppcrhcads of this
county "endorse" President Johnson on this
