THE PREsIDENr IN A RAGE.-We
are indebted to the Washington cor
respondent Of the Chicago Times for
. pen photograph ofthe President, as
he appears on the last day of the ses.
sion. None of Mr.. Johnson's prede-
cessors bear close inspection 30 i'll as
he. Here is what his political friend
says Of the scene, in the Presidents
room at the Capitol:
The Pre- sident went to the Capt.
tol ut ten o'clock to-day, TO be pres.
ent to sign bills, SO as to prevent the
delays in transmission to the White
House. He occupied his room in the
rear Of the Senate Chamber, and, as
sisted by all tho members of his
Cabinet, examined and acted on all
the bills as they were presented to
him. The exertion, however, was
too great for his pacienco, for the bills
came thick and fast, and cards show
cred in upon him in great numbers.
The ventilation was also poor, and he
shouted, and scolded, and perspired,
giving short answers to the Senators
and Others who approached him from
time to time. His petdlance getting
the better Of his courtesy, he refused
10 see such Senators as sought him,
and would answer no questions what
ever. There was great anxiety to
know ifthe President was to sign the
Funding bill it he was to call an ex-
ira session, and other matters Of ma.
terial interest, and he, at last, in q
foaming rage, took his undle o bill
under his arm and made lor The Whit
! House."

great enthusiasm the nominations of
Seymour and Blair. Ofthe proceed.
ings at Atlanta a special TO the Gas-
cite says:
's,The mass meeting was assembled
under great artificial grove on the
public square. Five thousand people
were present. Bob Toombs, Howell
Cobb, and B. III. Hill, the three great
leaders of the rebel democracy, all
made speeches. Toombs took the
broad ground that all the action of
the government in reference to tho
South for the last three years, was
void and Of no effect. Cobb followed
in the same strain, and Hill poured
forth a torrent of disloyal malignity
and blasphemy which will astonish
and alarm the country The whole
spirit ofthe speeches was violent and
revolutionary in the extreme,
Toombs alone making any pretence
of decency or moderation"

The Butcher.

1t is q favorite slang with tho Cop.
perhead papers to style Gen. Grant
"the Butcher;' that he led 100000
men 10 slaughter. Now it is very
natural, and just what might be ex
pected from northern Copperheads
and traitors, that they should hiss
from their viperous tonguesthe vilest
epithets against the man. who swept
from existence what Copperheads
said, hoped, and prayed, was tho H.
vincible army oftheir groat general
and noble man, r. e. Lee. That be
should have done this without the
weekly grand rcvlews, masterly mac
tivity, and the five days slaughter Of
the wilderness without effecting any
thing but disastrous retreat from
the enemy, which characterized the
generalship oflittle Nc, the late Dem
ocratic candidate for President, ID
just what troubles our draft skedad-
dlers peace at any price Democrats.
Howl on, no more effective campaign
documents can be had to ensure the
triumph Of General Grant tn: such
foul ISLANDERS daily published in the
leading Copperheads papers. Let US
venture to say this to you, revilers ol
the General of our armies, in reply to
your charge Of his leading SO many
men to slaughter: That those good
and noble patriot dead who fell un
der the leadership Of Grant werc slair
every one OF them by Democrats, SO.
called, by your co-workers before the
war, during tho war, and 80 far as
they are living are good and faithful

friends slew that army Of patriots

marched under the old flag, and you

The Right of Expstriation.

In the important legislation and
action Of the session of Congress just
closed there was nothing more graft
fying than the ratification Of the
treaty with Prussia upon the right
of citizens to expatriate themselves
and acquire political rights and as.
sumo political obligations in other
countries. The treaty with Prussia
has been followed BY like treaties
with the other German States, and
with the most favorable considera-
tion Of the SUBJECT BY Great Britain
and France. We have no doubt that
another twelvemonth will see the
Prussian treaty made the basis of .
like arrangement with all the nations
Of Europe. The treaty with China
recently ratified contains recogni-
tion of the same principle This il
q revolution in international law. i 1t
is = concession to the American prin-
ciplo of repatriation, under which
our fathers opened the doors ofsocial
and political equality to all who
might come hither. The world, at
the end of ninety years, accepts the
American theory and abandons the
feudal doctrine oftonce subject al
ways . subject, an6 is preparing by
law to declare the4reedom of all men
to choose thcir own political home.
Congress has alap made . very en-
phatic declaration bpon this subject,
which cannot fail b have it's due ef-
feet upon the people as we'll as the
governments Of Europe. 1t is dec
larat,on that the United States can.
no longer, in Justice to their people,
permit the right of expatriation to
be denied in the case Of any one of
them, aud making it the duty of the
Executive, in case any foreign power
shall discriminate between natural
ICED and other American citizens, to
interpose for his protection. The
act is sufficiently authoritative to
give to the Presidents interposition
. proper effect. No European gov
ernment would disregard it to the
extent of proceeding to summary
measures with the person held; and
if the case require il, Congress can
direct the necessary action at its
next session, even to declaration of
war.
The people Of Europe will see in
this declaration, and in the treaties
upon the subject, the confession Of
the growing might of popular gov
ernment in o free republic, and of
the growing weakness Of those gov
ernments resting upon absolute pow
or and precedent, aud not upon pop
ular consent, for their continued ex-
istenco.- Chicago Tribune.

A stienge and surprising incident
occurred last week in the country
come miles north Of Corinth. A
Mr.. Mangrum killed q young man
during the war, and few days since
Mr.. Mangaum was on deer drive,
and while at one Of the stands he saw
an object approaching him, which SO
alarmed him that he raised his gun
and Rred at it. The object, which
resembled q man covered with Q sheet
continued to advance upon Mr.. Man
grum, when he drew his pistol and
emptied all the barrels at the ghost.
None Of the shots seeming to take
effect, he climbed tree to make his
escape. By tho time he was . short
distance up the tree, the white object
was standing under him, with it's
eyes fixed upon him, and he declared
that it was the spirit of the young
man whom he had killed. Mangrnm
was so startled at the steady gaze of
the eye that he had been the cause of
laying cold in death, that he tainted
and fell from the tree. His friends
carried him home, the ghost follow
ing, and standing before him con-
stantly, the sight Of which brought
mp the recollections Of his guilt with
such force to his mind that he died
in great agony, after two or three
days suffering.
