Some of the Prssidsnts talk to be In
Vssti4Rted.


tFrom the Cmeinnatl Commercal1
The President, it is now said, denies
having nsed the language imputed To
him by the editor OF the New York
Citizen in his account OF his inter-
view with him. The President was
therein represented as having said, in
effect. that the reputation Of the ma
tlonal debt would probably follow the
rel udiation of his policy. The letter
in the Citizen attracted very marked
attention throughout the country, and
rather intensified the feeling against
the President,
The Judiciary Committee propose to
have the editor OF the Citizen before
them, to ascertain how much of the
letter is the invention of his own fer
tile brain, and how much is to be cred.
tied 10 Mr. Johnson.
We hope this examination will take
place not because great Importance
is to be attached to Mr.. Johnson's
opinions as on financial questions, but
because it would be interesting to
know whether in this instance or in
many Others he has gone back" on
correspondents who have been honor
cd with interviews, and have publish
ed what the President said. or what
they understood him TO say, only to
discover in the end that the President
roundly denied having used the Ian.
guage attributed TO him.
Mr.. Johnson has been very unfor-
tunate in failing to make himself
clearly understood on many occasions
since he became President, and the
question Of veracity has been frequent
ly raised between himself and the
journalists who believed thev we're do.
ing the country service in reporting
what he had to say upon grave ques-
tions. To such an extent has this
gone that it has become n very delicate
matter TO report the private talk of
his Excelency. the reporter having no
assurance that fiat denial would not
follow close upon the heels of publica-
ton. Let the editor of the Citizen be
put upon the witness stand therefore,
that we may find out whether he has
exceeded the license Of the reporter,
and put into the Presidents mouth
words not warranted by any thing ut
tered by him.

Progress OF The Mineral Rail-
Road.

From an interview with Mr.. GRA.
Ham, the gontlemnnly Agent of tho
Mineral Pairoad Company for pro.
curing the right OF way, we learn that
the efforts toward this object have been
attended with very gratifying success
along the line in all the portion Of
Fairfield county between this point
and the boundary of Franklin. The
people generally, through whose lands
that part Of the line passes, appear to
have just views Of the Importance Of
tho enterprise and it's beariag upon
their interests and with few exceptions
have met tho question Of the surren
der Of the right Of way in a liberal
spirit.
To the south of Lancaster, wo no
gret to say that different spirit is
reported to prevail to n large exten'.
Betweon Lancaster and Sugar Grove,
there seems TO be greater reluctance
to giving up the right Of way on fair
terms than on any other part of the
limo within our county, This. il seems
to US, can only be attributed to incor.
root conceptions with regard to their
true interests on the part of those who
seem disposed to bo impracticable in
this matter We hope they may b.
speedily induced to take the proper
view as TO their duty to III cmselves
and tho community at large. by which
the obstacles at present existing to.thc
rapid progress OF this great enterprise
will be removed We have reason
believe that tho completion Of the
road Immediately south Of Lancaster
within tho present season will depend
very materially on tho degree of suc
cess attending tho efforts now being
made TO secure the right ot way on iu'
vorable terms tor the road, while at
the same time boing just 10 tho own
Ors Of real estate affected by the i'm.
provcmont. And tho same remark
will apply to the question Of tho final
location of the limo in tho immediate
vicinity of our city. lhcre can be no
doubt Of tho adoption Of the route
which will be most acceptable to the
greatest number of citizens Interested,
unless itshall BE- prevented By illiberal
action on the part Of those who should
be active and jealous co operators with
the company in advancing this impor.
tant and benefcent work to speedy
completion
