I'd of May next Greeley. Gerritt Smith
John Minor Bolts and others stand as Sc
curities for his appearance in the sum Of
one hundred thousand dollars lie will
doubtless be on hand to show that their
confidence in him has not been misplaced.
but we can tell him that so far US their
bail bonds are concerned he need not be
apprehensive of any loss from his failure
to put in his appearance. Let him be off
to parts unknown, and this aforesaid bail
will me made all right in the release of
Greeley, Smith and Company for payment
But why be off? Let the accused give
us his attention for moment, and we will
tell him why.
By the I'd of May Andrew johnson will
be out Of the White House and "Old Ben
Wade" will be in From that hour rad
icalism will be rampant in the Executive
Department. The removal of johnson, at
the same time, for the "high crimes and
misdemeanors of attempting to remove
Stanton from the War Department and to
put Thomas in his place, and Of few
Presidential stump speeches Of the Ten

Johnson is beheaded for these petty often

DEAR SIR: Mr.. Charles Dickens, the.
author has been paying a visit to the Ma
tlonal Capital, and has been received by
all sections Of our tellow-citizeus with the
respect due to his talents and reputation
the latter Of which, ! need hardly say, i,
as great in the United States as in Great
Britain. lie did me the honor 10 call up
on me at the State Department few day~
since, upon which occasion | took adyan-
tage of an undisturbcd interview to dis
'cuss with him the present aspect Of the
relations between our respective coun-
tries.
The conversation naturally began by a
reference on my part to the object of Mr..
Dickens visit to America, and an express
sion Of my hope that it would be agreea-
BE in all its results, both personal and
pecuniary
Mr.. Dickens replied that, 50 far. as re-
garded his reception and treatment in our
midst he had every reason TO be much
gratlhed' With regard to finance, he had
nothing to complain OF since he became
his own treasurer.
| observed, iocnlarly, that he found it
easier to get money out of us than we. did
to obtain it from his government.
lie replied that he was no politician,
and did not know whether his country
was in the right or the wrong But,
he added Il don't think you'll ever get us
to pay Tor the Alabama.
1t was not 50 much the money | said,
that we wanted, although that was no
very insignificant sum. The American
people were far more anxious to obtain
some acknowled gmont from England that
the conduct of the latter had been un-
friendly during our domestic difficult
ties.
Mr.. Dickens answered that he did not
quite see what we could have expected,
and hintcd that his couutrymen could
hardly help rejecting that during the
Crimcan war the whole sympathics OF the
United States were undisguisedly Rus
sian lie argued that we never lost an
opportunity Of openly showing our anti
