arrived late, and at wunst perceeded
to the Executive Manshen. 1t was famil-
yer sceen. Their wuz Seward, Randall,
Secretary Wells, and the President, and
all Nv em Sraver than the sanity raven
Nv stately days of yore. The President
wuz tryin to keep stiff upper lip, but
l Good see teers folleriu each other
adown his holler cheeks in rapid success
sion. "He goner !' thot | "no man
kin stand that drain on his foods. No
matter how much he may take in, that
pace will kill any one"
The President wuz a recdin kilograms
and letters, aud they wuz not Nv cark-
ter to pleeze him. The first wuz from
August Belmont, and red thus:
81 hev, ez 700 Know, the highest pos
sible regard for yoor Eggelency, and shell
regret exceedinly to see 700 deprived ov
yoor offs but, reely, 700 kin scarcely
eggspect the democrisy to embarrass
themselves by espousin yoour coz The
fact is, no party hevin fucher before it
kin tie itself to a ded past. The teem-
stcr draws a sigh over a ded mule, but ez
a dead mule cant draw his cart, he ma
terally turns eyes onto them still possest
NV vitality. | hope 700 see the pint
without my explainin it. Excuse me for
comparin yoo to a ded mule, but the
simile wuz the first that sejested itself to
me. y E
with profound respect, am, etc.
"P 5 S-Shood biznis call me to Ten
nessee, | shell do myself the honor to call
on 700 in your dignifed retirement"
The President wiped an avalanche Nv
teers wich followed the reediu Nv this
unfeeltn letter, and the next wuz open
ed:

place, be Nv any servis Anser J. A"

ty only polls 500 votes, and that cuss
hez bin borin me for place in the de-
partment for over yer. Drive on"
The next wuz from Vallandygum
"Sincc the disggraceful exhibishun
yoor friends made NV themselves at the
Philadelphia Convenshun, l didn't con-
slider myself bound to you I, ez yoo
know, never took any stock in half and half
mixtures. My defect by Thurman heznt
increased my love for you and yoors. 1
hev no objecshun to yoor noldin yoor
sect to the end nv yoor term, but reely,
it's matter Nv but little conscience to
me. Shood 700 pass thro Dayton, on
yoor way to Tennessee, | shood be glad
to extend the hospitalitics Nv my house
to yoo" aF
The next wuz from Franklin Peerse,
and wuz dated at Concord, n. H.:
Il feel for 700, that is, | feel for you
on general principles. (Thad Stevens,
permit me to say, in parenthesis, hez bin
feelin for yoo, and hez at last, [ am salts
fed, found yoo). feel for 700 ez [ do for
every man who hez offs and is obliged
to leave it. Nevertheless, | cant help
700 | wood, but 700 see we have all we
kin do to help ourselves. Wv coorse yoo
don't expect the Dimocrisy to take any
part in the struggle between 700 and
Congriss. Elected ez a Republikin with
Republikins in yoor Cabinet the Dino
crisy, while they appland wat yoo hev
done, can't, of coorse, make your quarrel
theirs. When 700 leave Washington for
Tennessee can't yoo take Concord in yoor
way? | have no objocshun to minglc
teers with yoo."
The next was from Western politis-
hun lately appointed postmaster:
"Sir-l return the appointment 700
gave me last month with loathin and
skorn. | survived the Moo Orleans and
Memphis massacres, yoor opposition to
the will of Congriss, and all the other
damnin iniquitics Nv yoor most damn

do me justis, and likewise the SENT +"
Sed Rondall, "that cuss bored me for
better nor yeer for the appointment, but
the SENT won't confirm him. Oh, Wade,
