watched with that degree of vigilance
which is the known price of liberty. And
when it comes to our own ranks, we must
watch and pray some, and see to it that
our party has moral prestige as well as po-
litical truth to stand upon. Above all, my
humble advice and admonition would be,
that we should have no dictation or domi-
neering from those members of our party,
who, to say the least, are no better than
other men, and no thrusts, By innuendo or
otherwise, should be hurled at the original
leaven Of Radical Union men of Louisiana,
by those who have ebbed and flowed as the
tide of personal prosperity or individual
safety seemed to indicate or dictate.
These brief thoughts are suggested by
what | notice on the political surface of
New Orleans. When return to my home

NEW ORLEANS, April 80, 1867.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1867-05-01

you support the measure will undoubtedly
induce Congress to give the matter calm
and favorable consideration. Mr.. Angamar,
who is still here, maturing the measure for
the next session Of Congress, assured me to.
day that your aid had already converted
several Senators in its favor.
There is not much probability that Con-
gress will assemble in July, as the Presi-
dent seems to realize the fact that he has
been overpowered"-to use a favorite
rebel expression--by Congress and his
out the reconstruction measures of the
Republican party. He seems content
let the contest with the people and Congress
end and you must have noticed that since
the" swinging round the circle" of last fall,
he has made no speeches until yesterday
On this occasion he avoided all allusion to
Congress. 1t was the occasion of visit
from the japanese troupe, now performing
at Wallis Theatre in this city. By the fol-
lowing extract from the Chronicle of this
morning you will perceive that Andy for.
got all distinctions of race or color in his
promises to these extraordinary beings
Upon entering the mansion the members
of the troupe, both male and female, re.
moved their sandals, and were then con-
Quoted to the Presidents private Office,
where President johnson was waiting to
receive them, the visit having been prear-
ranged. Upon entering the apartment they
made their obeisance in accordance with
the japanese custom, and were then indi-
viduaIly presented to Mr.. johnson. who
cordially grasped the hand of each, after
which he made few remarks expressing
his pleasure in meeting them. He said that
| he would be pleased to see any of their
countrymen who should cali upon him, and
that he would do all in his power to insure
their comfort and happiness during their
stay in the United States. In conclusion,
the President wished them a prosperous
trip in this country, and safe return to
Japan, and expressed the desire that upon
their arrival there they would do all in
| their power to establish a friendly feeling
between their countrymen and the Ameri-
| can residents.
Having replied affirmatively to an interrog.
atory as to whether they desired to visit the
| different apartments, the President person
ally conducted them down to the Red Room
and then passed through the Blue and
Green Rooms into the East Room, where
after an interchange of civilties and a brief
| conversation with little All Right, the Pres.
ident left the party.
You thus perceive the President is reform
ing. Indeed, the opinion is he will soon be-
come Radical. He addresses men who diff
| fer more from us than the African, he prom
ises to ''do all in his power to insure their
comfort and happiness" and he makes not a
single allusion to Thaddeus Stevens or the
dead duck" Gen. Butler, in speaking of
this visit, said, 'the japanese jugglers have
paid their respects to the greatest juggler in
the world"
Hon. B. F. Flanders is here, engaged at
his duties in the Treasury Department. He
is in excellent health, and intends to start

HON. THAD. STEVENS.

We learn that Hon. Edward Mcpherson,
Clerk of the House of Representatives Of the
United States, is collecting the materials
for, and has indeed commenced to write, the
" Life of Thaddeus Stevens A work OF
such magnitude could not be confided to
more competent or more congenial care,
and we announce the fact that 1t is In courte
of preparation so that Mr.. Stevens friends
may not suppose that 1t has either been
neglected or left to incompetent hands.
Mr. Mcpherson was born in Adams county,
Pennsylvania, in 1880. where, fourteen
years before, Thaddeus Stevens, an emf
grant from Vermont, was admitted to the
practice of the law. He may thus be
said to have grown to MANHOOD by the
side of the Great Commoner. The inti-
mate relations between Mr.. Stevens and the
father OF the young historian, and the facs
that they were always in hearty political
sympathy, will give to the work an au-
thentic stamp. Mr.. Mcpherson will enjoy
| the additional advantage of having sat In
Congress with Mr.. Stevens, representing
the very district which had been the scene
| of the earlier struggles of the latter, when
