A DINNER soUELcHED ON HIS ACCOUNT

From the bondon Times, Dec H.
Last night crowded meeting Of the commit.
tee charged with getting up banquet to Mr..
Reverdy johnson was held at No. Adelphi ter
race, Mr.. Beales in the chair. Mr.. Coningsby
moved and Mr.. Stevens seconded the following
resolution " That the American minister having
accepted an invitation to dine with this commit.
tee and its friends, any change OF programme
which would substitute public meeting or de-
monstration would be impolite and inconvenient
Be it, therefore, resolved that public dinner
shall take place during the Christmas week, the
price Of tickets for which shall be As Sd each ;
and further, that at all future meetings of this
committee, any discussion upon the merits of
Mr.. Reverdy johnson shall be deemed irrelevant
and out of order, and be Immediately stopped
by the chairman" Mr.. Connolly thought it
would be impossible to get up the banquet at
all, but he felt there was no necessity to abuse
Mr.. johnson, who was man of great tact and
ability. Mr.. Appleearih. secretary of the commit.
tee, said he was not ct first aware what was the
state of feeling in America with regard to Mr..
johnson. New that be was aware of it, he was
content TO let the matter remain where il was.
The chairman felt the difficulties that lay in the
way of the banquet were increasing. Mr.. Lloyd
Jones did not think go at all. In his opinion it
was more than ever necessary for the working /
men Of England to address their brethren 10
America. Mr.. Coningsby, although willing to
withdraw his resolution. seeing that the feeling
Of the meeting was opposed to it, could not do
30 without stating that he saw no valid reason
why the proposed banquet should be given up,
and protested against this cry against Mr.. john.
son. He saw no reason at all urged against the
movement except the publication of letter
from Mr.. Smalley, the representative in this
country Of Mr.. Horace Greeley, of the New York
Tribune, the fact being, as he had heard, that
the latter was anxious to fill Mr.. Johnson's place
when it became vacant. Mr.. Holyoake said the
last statement was entirely without foundation.
After considerable discussion the following reso-
luton, moved by Mr.. Elliott, was agreed to !:
That deputation be appointed to wait upon
Mr.. Johnson, and inform him that in consequence
of the conflicting opinions existing in this country
and America, on the questions now In the course
Of arrangement, it is considered not advisable to
proceed with the proposed banquet

There are two lawyers at the New Orleans bar,
who have lived here many years and stand in the
front rank of the profession. Age has made its
nroads, and whilst one Is troubled with loss of
several front teeth, which causes him to make
prolonged sibilsnt sound whenever he pro-
nounces a word ending in or z, his
brother at the bar has grown deaf of
late years, as well as q little irascibls and
petulant. On Tuesday last these learned counsel
lors were opposed to each other in conducting an
examination Of Witnesses in the clerks Office OF
one of the district courts. The names of the
three clients Of the sibil Mt counsellor all ended
in $; he was engaged in the direct questioning Of
a witness, and dweIt with peculiar and sonorous
emphasis on the three proper names. His oppo-
nent. deeply interested in the questions and an

volume Of HoratiO SeymUIrs political
speeches since 1851 would bee AN excellent Re-
publican campaign document. To insure his
overwhelming defeat in November. il is only
necessary To let the people know his sentiments
and position during the war. Fortunately. his
record cannot be concealed. for Mr.. Seymour.
though no, brave man. has spoken boldly
enough.
He was outsl'oken in defence of the rebellion.
because he sincerely believed that il would
succeed. lie asserted 81 often that the North
could never subdue the South that he convinced
himself tina, all the victories Of Grant and sher.
man were unimportant matters, which only
helped TO prolong the war. In his own words.
the only practical question was this: "Shall
ave compromise after war. or compromise
without war;" In lS63 his croakines Of dc.
feat were incessant. and he drew a fearful pic.
turc Of the ruin of the North BY the war. at
the very moment that Lee was being whipped
at Gettysburg and Grant was entering vicks.
burg. II was TO stop the wicked war" that
he did his best TO interfere with the draft, as.
suring the New York rioters that he had sent
his AiJutant General to Washington TO have il
Stopped, aud telling the mob that u should be
satisfied. II would not do. uf course. TO send
rnsn tn the army when Lee was invading the
North Ills admiration Of the South was 50
excessive that when the rebel constitution was
made at = ontgomery he declared. 1T is bet
Ter than our own why not obviate all dbl
equity by adopting IT." Astounding as this
may seem. Mr.. seymour really used that Ian
