reality result which has been anticipated here for
some time past Ben Field and heavy delegation
have been going and fro between this and the national
capital In good deal Of alarm about the unanimous
sentiments Of the people against the facous course Of

radical opposition abated and day by day the leading
emsaries Of the controlling powers in the republican
organization proceeded to Washington to mofy Con-

the views and policy Of President johnson It is
fairly acceptcd In the State that the President acted
with characteristic sagacity in the appointment Of
. Collector for tho port Of New York, and that

have fair chance for his claims Tho truth is that all
the feeling against Andy Johnson has been the acrd
expression Of sort Of family jealousy mainly directed
against the Cabinet.
