" Impeacher Ashley"

Tho Washington correspondent Of tho Gin
cinnati Commercial gives the following as o
portion Of a recent conversation with President
johnson; -
Mr.. johnson related the following circum-
stances: Soon after my accession, Il think it
was the day after the assassination of Mr.. Lin
coin; not much later, at all events) Mr.. Ash
lev called on mo and said that he had made
bargain with Mr.. Arson Herrick, of New York,
a democratic member Of the Thirty-eighth
Congress, that if he would vote for the consti-
tutional amendment abolishing slavery, he
tAshleyl would get tho appointment of inter
nal revenue collector for his tlIerrick'S) broth
er. Ashley said lIorrick had performed his part
of the bargain, and now he must have the col
cectorship for his brother, according to agree
ment. He seemed to be very domineering, just
as if he had n right to say what he wanted,
and have it done forthwith. "Wcll," said |,
al don't know about that. I am glad that the
amendment was passed by Congress, because
there seems to be some doubts as to the validity
of the emancipation proclamation, and this
will settle the question in the right way. /
don't know whether | am to take the PreSiden-
cy cum oaere, as they say when you buy farm,
with all the impediments. Iendorso and shall
carry out tho measures and policy of Mr.. Lin
coins administration, but can't be party to
any such bargains with Mr. lIerrick or anybody
else. If there is O vacancy and Mr.. Horrick's
brother is recommended by the Secretary of the
Treasury as a competent person to fllit Twill
make the appointment. But won't turn any
body else out, or appoint an incompetent man,
to pay for a vote in Congress. Ashley got very
much vexcd at this, and went off in a great
rage. IIerrick's brother was appointed, but
not until he had been recommended through
the proper channels Charles \. Dana also
called upon me to help Ashley in this matter
lie also insisted that the bargain was made in
good faith, and must be carried out. Ashley
has been my enemy ever since"
