A PRESIDENTIAL sLANDER.

In the Chronicle of this morning is an
extract from the testimony of an alleged
member of President then Governor)
Johnson's staff, given before the impesch
ment committee. Among other things, it
alleges that a certain woman accompanied
Mr.. Johnson's party, stopping at the Me
tropolitan Hotel, and occupied room ad-
joining his, which is stated to have been
No. lS2. Here was an opportunity to test
the accuracy of an alleged scandal which
we could not resist. We have made care
iul inspection of the books of the Metro
politan Hotel. They show that President
johnson arrived there on the lst of March
that he occupied room 1873, not 1872, on the
second floor; that on one side of him was
his staff, and on the other a vacant public
parlor; that no female accompanied his
party; that the house was very much
crowded, with no room for single females
that every room on that floor was occupied
then and for ten weeks before and after his
departure by well. known, unexceptionable
parties; that for the same period during
which our examination extended there
were no single women arriving at the hotel
at ali, except those who were of a party of
unassailable character. We cannot there
fore, resist the conviction that the story
is fabricated and utterly without founda-
tion, and We want 10 know if by SIAN
ders which havehothing TO do with mans
public acts il is proposed to furnish ground
of assault upon hiuf for his performance
OF has public duties? We never under
stood and hope never to be able to IN
derstand, why what is slander when ut

tolerated when uttered against a public
character; aud as a citizen Of the United
States who respects the dignity OF the Office
OF the Chief Magistrate, We protest against
tais and all other efioits to soil untrnlhfal-
ly the fair fame OF the Executive Of the
people. Epening Express.

thus "naiIed to the counter" We are fur
ther authorized by the officer in charge of
the "pass department at Nashville at the
time indicated in the statement alluded to
by the Chronicle, to assert that no passes
or permits to trade were issued as stated.
This officer Is 2 gentleman of high standing,
whose veracity will not be compared with
that Of nameless Philadelphia adyentur-
er, who seeks opportunity to vent his
spleen for disappointments in efforts to
prey upon the public purse. 1t must be
humiliating to every decent Republican to
observe that his party is sreduced to such
extremities as to resort TO false and mali
cious slander for the purpose Of assailing
the President Impeachment is not to be
reached by such contrivances.- National In

OH Destroy ed---Terrfbie Intensity of

OH Destroy ed---Terribie Intensity of
the Flames.
From the Buffalo Express. July 90
On Saturday night, at about ten o'clock,
a freight train of forty-six cars on the Lake
Shore railroad, part Of which were laden
with petroleum, met with a serious disas-
ter about three miles from Brockton, one
Of the tank cars taking fire from some un-
known cause aud bursting with snch force
as TO throw three or four others from the
track. The conclusion was so great as TO
burst the tanks and the oil was poured
upon the track and into tie CUTTERS, flood
ing each side for a distance of a thousand
feet or more. The blazing oil at once
spread along the track, communicating
with the cars laden with casks of crude
oil.
By well directed efforts the conductor of
the train was enabled to de.ach all but
some twenty cars and relieve them from
danger, some of which were also laden with
petroleum. The balance Of the train was
entirely consumed by a fire of terrible in
tensity. As near as we could ascertain, be
ing on the spot at six o'clock in the morn
ing. some twenty or more cars were entirely
destroyed, together with some five or six
hundred barrels Of oil, and all the other
property on board that was not saved by the
timely efforts of those in charge of the
train, in extracting a portion of the cars
on each side Of the FIRE.
The fire spread with fearful rapidity
along the track on each side for nearly a
quarter Of a mile, and until the oil reached
the culvert and left the road, consuming in
its way fences, telegraph poles, and every
other destructible article that came in its
path. Indeed he liquid FIRE spread with
such rapidity that shanty occupied by a
poor woman some distance from the scene
Of the disaster, was Tapped up by flames
with so little ceremony, that the occupant
barely escaped with her life.
The debris of the wreck and that portion
Of the track upon which the cars were con-
sumed show the intensity of the fire. Heavy
rails and even car wheels were melted and
bent an every shape
lhe loss IN property 20 the road will be
considerable, though we were not able to
Obtain data during a brief stay at the scene
OF the disaster for anything like a correct
estimate Of The amount.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE
GUARDS.

From the Knoxville Fress Press. July q.
1t will be seen that in response to the
application of a Tennessee delegation, urg
ing the propriety and necessity of Federal
protection in Tennessee, the President has
referred the whole subject to Gen. Thomas
This, Judging from the published orders of
Gen. Thomas on the subject, is tantamount
to saying that the people are to have no
protection at all. Thomas assumes that
the militia are called out for the protection
of the citizens, whereas he knows that there
is no such object in view. He knows that
their presence on the day of election, and
their distribution throughout the State, IS
only designed to overawe and drive the quiet
and unarmed citizens from the ballOt.box.
These militiamen are meant for this purpose
and can be meant for no other. To leave
the matter to the discretion Of Gen. Thomas
is simply to leave the people of the State at
the mercy of the militia. The President is
either sadly deceived in the disposition of
Thomas, or else he fails still more sadly to
appreciate the condition of the people of his
State What outrage upon outrage has
been perpetrated- private and unof-
Tending citizens have been murdered in
cold bloOd.-when houses have been plum
dered and sacked-when defenseless women,
with their children, have been mercilessly
driven from their homes-when the quiet
and lawful assemblies of the people have
been fired into and broken up or dispersed
when every law conducive to the good
order of society has been violated, and all
this by or under the protection of this
same militia, upon which Gen. Thomas re-
lies for our protection, ought not the peo-
pie TO thunder their complaints into the
ears of the Executive until their dangers
and wrongs are fully comprehended and
appreciated? Gen. Thomas orders his
troops to stay away from the voting places
the militia, of course, will be at the
voting places. What protection, therefore,
can the citizen expect from the government
TO which he owes his allegiance, when its
own officer, in command of its forces, de-
fers to the admitted superior importance
of bob-tailed, election ruling set of mill
tia? We would like for the President to
answer.
