AN ELEVATED EXAMPLE OF ERESI-
DENT JOHNSON.
From the Baltimore San. April 27

FROM the Baltimore sun, Aprl II.
There Is a portion OF the speech Of Mr..
Nelson in the impeachment case not in the
direct line of his argument for the Presi-
deht, but which is nevertheless Of peculiar
interest, and which incidentally illustrates
in very striking and honorable manner
the rigid and uncalculating frmness with
which Mr. johnson adheres to his convic-
tions of duty. 1t is the recital of facts
given by Mr.. Nelson relating 10 the with.
drawal of Judge Black from the defense OF
the President Mr.. Nelson states that
while Judge Black was one of the counsel
for the President be had an interview with
the President, urging upon him to take
action in reference TO the rights of citizens
of the United States upon the Island of
Alta Vels, and the sending of an armed
vessel TO take possession Of it. The Presi-
dent having declined to do, so Judge Black
(acting for one of the parties interested in
Alta Vels) declined to appear further as
counsel in his case" "Snch," said he, "are
the facts in relation to the withdrawal of
Judge Black and SO far as the President is
concerned, the head and front OF his Offend
ing hath this extent no more"
Well may MFR. Nelson say that the con-
duct Of Andrew johnson under these cir
cumstances was such as will elevate him
in the estimation Of every high-minded
man in the country. Here was lawyer
whose great legal and forensic abilities had
induced the President to look to him as the
sheet-anehor Of his defense, and whose COM
batiye and vehement energies would have
been sufficient to throttle Butler at the very
threshold of the struggle, deliberately
given up by the President rather than yield
to an ulterior purpose, by doing an act
which would have increased the Presidents
popularity with the unthinking, and which
was actually solicited in letter signed by
four of the managers of the Impeachment,
since the impeachment proceedings began.
But the President did not believe that be
had the right TO do that act, and though his
very political existence was trembling 10
the balance, he refused to do it, knowing
he was by that refusal adding 80 his enc
mics, depriving himself of the strength of
Judge Blacks powerful assistance, and ex-
posing himself to the slander which has
actually been circulated since, that Judge
Black had abandoned him on account Of
his guilt. Ii would be difficult to find on
record a more admirable example of lofty
and uncompromisiug devotion to principle,
aud there is no true man in all the land
whose respect for the President will not be
increased by it.

JEAN LAoRoIx, the French Canadian
in Ottawa, who claims TO have witnessed
the shooting of Darcy McGee, is either
an extraordinarily timid, or very keen
person, II is suspected that his story was
manufactured 20 obtain the $4,000 re-
ward, but he tells il with circumstantial
readiness. In room containing several
men, he at once pointed out Whelan as
the assassin, much 10 the prisoners discom-

the murder, he had been with a relative

thirty feet in the rear. Just as McGee APP

circumstance that made him utter an
