Benjamin Swan, who testified that John
Allen and his wife kept disorderly house, and
a resort for thieves, gamblers, and disreputable
persons. Swan SAID that while passing down
Water street on Friday evening he was invited
10 John Aliens house by woman whom he met
on the street, Margaret Ware by name; that he
gave Mrs. Allen SIS 10 pay for the drinks, and
that during the night Margaret stole SIS more

directly from the White House to partisan
newspapers, used Jobnson's name several times
last week, as feeler and in his dispatches to-
day forcibly argues that the Democrats ought
to change their candidates. He would not dare
take this ground IN opposition to the President.

sent Jobnson's ideas before dinner, aud War

This is the Interpretation put upon these con-
Aictng statements here. 1t is notorious that
johnson was highly elaled with the proposed
Withdrawal, and would have gone on the
ticket, but fuding the principal leaders of the
party averse TO change, he now denies that he
ever encouraged it.
