to make profound impression upon
a man like Malsherbes. He lowered

A Presidential Reception.


| went to President Johnson's re-
ception last evening, and it filed me
with reflections The last time I
stood in the Red Room was on that
April morning when even the skies
were weeping tender tears for the
murdered President, who was living
there at rest, under the grand cata-
falque. All the gold and crimson
walls were swathed in black, and
great throng were passing by in ST.
lence, dropping their tears upon the
face of the dead. A few weeks before.
| had promenaded that room at his
last reception. The White House had
never seen more respondent occa-
sion. So vast was the multitude seek
ing admission that the grounds and
the streets were packed with car
riages and people for more than
block, who had been hours waiting
for an opportunity to enter, and the
windows had TO be opened and plat
forms suspended from them, to give
egress to the crowd Aud here, where
Andrew Johnson now is, stood the
good and patient man, with the weary
look upon his face, extending his hand
to all classes and nations. These two
scenes came back most wildly last
night-everything is so changed. A.
Lincoln sleeps mt Springfield - Mrs.
Lincoln, SO gorgeous that night with
diamonds, and plumes and velvet, in
solitude and sickness mourns her ir-
reparable loss. and in the faded pa
geantry of White House spendors.
can estimate the true sum of human
greatness. Here in the White House
are strange faces-and everything in
1T seems strange. Last evenings was
the sparsest reception / ever saw. /
never saw the flowers in the carpet
before on levee night, and was in
clined to cry out, after the manner of
Charles Lamb, where are the faces,
the old familiar faces ?" Where, in
deed, the brave soldiers, the great gen
erals, the true Republican leaders,
who thronged the Presidential levees
last winter? One thing is certain,
they were not there last night. What
is odder still, it would be difficult to
tell who was there. Resurrected
southerners, perhaps, who have come
forth to life once more at the sound OF
the voices of their "AIoses" The
striking feature of the assembly WAS
the leading men of both parties. If
the leading Republicans were not
there, neither were the Democrats.
/ saw Brooks, of the New York Err
press, and one or two others OF his
type but not enough TO give tone to
the assembly. Andrew Johnson
seemed quite alone. No one who at
tended the magnificent reception of
