LETTER ;sAox yHoxoRABiE RsvERpY
JoHNsoN.-The West Georgia Gazette has
received the following letter from Hon.
Reverdy Johnson
SENATE CHAMBER, March %, 1867.
Dear Sir,-Your letter of the 18th is re.
ceived. My vote for the bill you refer to
was given, not because approved Of It,
but because ! knep that if defeated, or
not carried out by the South, other
measures, ruinous to them in every way,
would follow.
wished by my vote (hoping that the South
would not doubt my desire to serve them
and the whole country to place myself in
a condition to advise them more efiectually
to acceptance than would If had voted
against it.
NY advice therefore is, and / give 1t most
anriousiy, that the proper course to be
pursued by you is to organize under the
act at once and in good faith. d
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
REvERDY JOHNSON.

material effect upon the Radical Congress,

The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1867-05-09

SOME of the Democratic papers
are quoting speech made by Gov
ernOr Morton two years age, in
which he said:
'sIn regard to the question of ad-
mitting the freedmen of the South
ern States to vote, while admit the
equal rights Of all men, and that in
time all men will have the right to
vote without distinction of color or
race, I yet belive in the case of four
millions of slaves just freed from
bondage, there should be a period
of probation and preparation before
they are brought to the exercises of
political power. Cincinnati Com
mercial.
The effort is to show that the
Governor is inconsistent, and the
curious part of it is that the journals
that assail the Governor forgot that
the negroes have had the very s'per-
iod of probation Morton believed
they should have. The colored
people of the South have been in a
high school during thelast two years,
and they have progressed wonder
fully iii their studies.

Drunkenness in the Senate Cham
hQr- -f

A New York Washington dispatch
says that s'Mrs. Salisbury appealed
personally to Senators not to press the
resolution expelling her husband, prom
ising to take him home to Delaware
No man could resist such an appeal =
1t is impossible to think of such an in
cident without emotion. Mr.. .Sauls-
bury is a man of very marked abilities,
one Of the ablest, most eogent and eff
fective speakers in the Senate, of fine
personal appearance, tall, erect, dark
complexion, with piercing black eyes
and jet black hair, courtly and impress
sive in his manner, and Of noble and
generous impulses But for The dis.
case which affiicts and overmasters him;
he wodld be one Of the most influential
public men of the Senate and the coun-
try Yet he is saved from ignominious
expulsion only by the sympathy felt
for his noble and DEVOTED wife. An
other Senator whose term has just ex-z
pired,-a man of clear intellect, finished
culture and fascinating manners, bfl6
cursed by the same affiiction, was toll
Grated in the Senate only from SINH
lar motive. One of the most touching
sight to be seen in Washington during
the session was the presence in the gal
lery of his wife and daughter, waiting
night after night often till long past
midnight, anxious and distressed, to
him to their home. It may
be said to his credit that, whatever he
may have been to the rest Of the world.
he was never anything but respectful,
obedient and tender to them.

From the Richmond (Va) Enquirer
Singular Occurrence in a Church
Bursting of Il Waterfall.

The bursting of waterspout at sea
is common and sometimes danger
Gus occurrence, but such is the adroit-
ness displayed by the ladies in the ar
rangemeht of the disgusting protuber-
rnces yclept waterfalls that acci-
dents seldom occur to them, although
when they do, they are by no means
void of fun for spectators possessed of
a keen seiise Of the ludicrous.
One of these singular accidents, how
ever befell a lady worshipper at Trinity
church, on Sunday last, for. as she
arose from prayer her waterfall sud-
IDENTIFY exploded, and scattered far and
wide Vast ainount of various material
to the infinite amusement of her partie-
ular females friends, the horror Of the
devout, and the edifcation and aston
ishment Of all the voting bachelors who
witnessed the sad catastrophe. The
contents embraced, we presume, the
traditionary old stocking, the usual
quantity of rags, and the other miscel-
lsny which compose the fine heads OF
hair worn by our modern fair ones.
