IMMENSE JOHNSON MEETING In
NEW YORK.
Mr.. Seward Sustains the Veto.

There was an immense meeting, at Cooper In
sttute, New York City, on the evening OF the
22d to sustain President johnson.
All the streets in the immediate neighborhood
were also filed with thousands OF supporters of
the president.
Hon. F. b. Cutting presided, assisted by a
large number of the most prominent citizens
as vice presidents The meeting was very en-
thusiastic.
An address was adopted which commepds the
presidents veto, and expresses the conviction
that 1.-THE exclusion, as representatives from the
states now unrepresented in congress, OF loyal
men who were fairly elected, and can take the
OATH is manifestly a usurpation." 1t concludes
BY expressing confidence in the integrity and
fidelity of Andrew johnson to the principles up
on which he was elected; heartily commends
the general doctrines of his two messages, and
offers TO support him in all constitutional meas
ures for the public welfare.
THE resolutions are to the same effect, and IN
addition approve the action of Senator Morgan
and Representatives Raymond and Darling in
sustaining the presidents veto.
Hon. William Ii Seward addressed the vast
assemblage. We cannot spare room for his
speech The Chicago Journal says, OF it, that
'He indorses President Johnson's reconstruc
ton policy, and sustains his veto message

The Latest and shrewdest swindle Known

One of the most simple, novel and skillful
lodges for obtaining money that we have
heard of in many day has recently come TO
light. and by it the most intelligent class of
the community has been in several cases
swindled. Quite mum Der of our prominent
men have lately been in receipt of letters
from Quebec, c. f., purporting to be written
in female hand. They oontain what pur-
port to be two autographs of George Wash
ington appended TO brief business messages.
The writer represents herself to be the wife
Of man who served as captain in the Union
army during the late wer, and who died in
England of wounds received in battle, leav
ing herself and children in destitute circum-
stances. She represents that In looking over
her husbands effects she discovered the two
iuclosed autographs for which her husband
paid $50. and states that while reluctant to
part with them, necessity compels her to do
so. and she forwards them, thinking that the
recipient may find them of value as souvenirs,
and leaving it entirely to his liberality and
charity to forward to her the sum specified
