was thinking solely of himself The Masonic
Order and its magnificent celebration were
merely string upon which he could array
the shining pearls of his own assumed excel
lencies and virtues. Not Masonry, but Andrew
johnson, was his real topic of thought and
speech. r-
Is this the language of true WORTH is
man whose life has been so public and yet so
consistent so devoted to truth and principle,
obliged to be forever reminding the people of
these facts ? Can't they see for themselves
The very anxiety which Mr.. johnson, so con-
stantly displays in asserting his consistency,
argues a secret consciousness that he has not
been consistent, and that the people know it.
His very asseverations of innocence betray the
inward sense of guilt. His protestations of
devotion to principle reveal the conscious
want of it. If mans course has been con-
sistent, straightforward, upright, honest, and
patriotic, he don't need to be telling everybody
Of it. The people are intelligent. They
know the positions that public men have held,
the principles they have advocated, and the
record they have made. If Mr.. Johnson's
present position is consistent with the one
he held when nominated and elected by the
Union party; if the principles he now main
tains are those he then maintained; If he is
the same "Moses' to the colored race now
that he was, or promised to be, when he made
his celebrated speech to the oolored people of
Nashville; ifhe believes now as he did when he
publicly urged the confscatien of Rebel estates,
and the dividing up of their vast domains;
if all these things are so, the people are suf-
iciently intelligent to know and appreciate it,
without Mr.. Johnson's so constantly taking
the witness-stand in his own behalf. On the
other hand, if these things are not so, no
amount of pdlaUer, to speak plainly on the part
of Mr.. Johnson will suffice to change the
| public judgment of his position and conduct.
| In the future he will consult his own dignity,
| as we'll as that of the Office he holds, by ex-
hibiting greater reticence in regard to him
| self. The Presidents of the United States
| have generally been men of great personal
| dignity, and who knew how to receive those
courtesies and attentions which are due to the
Office without thrusting their personal virtues,
achievements, and records generally before the
| public. Let the present incumbent initiate
| their excellent example.

WORTHY OF THE PREMIER.-At Boston the
following incident occurred, which reflects
great credit on the dignity of the Secretary of
State. Among other incidents, an old man
familiarity addressed Secretary Seward, and
aid,-"How are you, Billy 2' The Secretary
responded, "Very well, thank you; how are
you ?" The old man replied, with much good

Speech of Major General Rawlings.
GENERAL JOHN A. RAWLINGS, Chief of Staff to
General Grant, was called upon to deliver
speech to the citizens of Galena, Illinois, and
in response addressed them at great length.
The opinions of General Rawlings, even did
he not hold the position he does, would be of
interest, as he is brave soldier and an able
lawyer. But his close and intimate relations
with the General-in- Chief give to his words
semi official utterance from that officer. We
cannot say that the contents of the address
are very committal. He reviews the war and
its causes, and favors in ertenSo the Constitu-
tional amendment. Speaking of the Recon-
struction BILL he says
~ a State by It's Wron0 loses its republican
bound 10 restore IT, II Stte REFUSES 1,rotectton to
its citizens, he United States must AFFORD IL. To
United States in the late contest. The Civil
Rights bill resulted. The execution OF this
being imperfect, the Reconstruction bill tol-
lowed. the object and purpose of these acts
cannot be deemed unconstitutional, for they
are in the nature of an execution issued by
Court upon a judgment or decree, arrived at
after full hearing. The Government being
possessed of all the evidence in the case, had,
as in an action at law, delivered Judgment,
and upon noncompliance with q decree,
posse conpitdtuS, the army, had been called in to
ENFORCE Ine execution: beyoHG uo4Ot " WuS
under the Constitution that necessity is to be, and
has been, judged of by the proper authorities"
The General strongly supports the bill, and
argues at length in its favor. 1t is not impos-
sible that, although so intimately connected
with General Grant, General Rawlings may
hold views diametrically opposed to his supe-
rior. But it is much more probable that
his views coincide with those of the soldier
with whom he has so long served. Could
the country receive a clear expression of
opinion from the chief military hero of the
war, it would tend to allay that uneasiness
which the unsettled political condition of the
country naturally creates.
