PRESIDENT JOHNSON TEEroLALER.-Mr.
b. b. French is superintendent of Public
Buildings at Washington. Having learned
that Hon. Mr.. Price has alleged that the Pres
ident is drunkard, Mr.. French comes to
the rescue in the following emphatic Ian
guage;
/ feel it to be duty that owe not only to
the President, but to the community, to say,
that probably no person has had better OPP
portunity, from April 1856, to this time, to
Judge OF the habits of the President than
have. As Commissioner of Public Buildings,
duty required that / should visit the Presi-
dents House almost daily, and no week pass
ed when L did not have personal interviews
with President johnson. L have seen him at
all hours of the day-in his Office, in his sleep
ing-rOom-and never have i seen him in the
least under the influence of strong drink, nor
did ever see him taste any but once, and
then, when in company with many gentle
men, at their urgent solicitation. he poured
into glass perhaps half tablespoonful, and
drank in company with the rest was with
him throughout his journey to Boston, and /
saw him in places where Intoxicating liquor
was abundant; but he followed strictly the in
junction, "Touch not, taste not, handle uot," !"
SO far as my observation extended. i sincere
ly believe Andrew johnson to be as temperate
a man in all his habits as any man In the
United States. .-i Ni -
The President Is entitled to all the evidence
that can in any way be adduced in his favor.
But this plea of temperance and sobriety is of
but little avail in establishing his character as
a man of correct habits and well disciplined
mind. IL is most charitable to him to assume
that the speeches of the 29d OF February and
of the Western tour were due to the intoxica-
tion Of stimulants and not to the intoxication
of DassiOn ...a
