perienced in this vale O. teers, WUz in
Washinton last mite His Eggslency
telegraph me tn come on ia Washln-
ton. and | obayed. | hevn't tied much
tn him recently, but | ceodent forgit
that he first gave me the OfhsI I've
on, that his IGNORED name is at the
bottom Of the'commishun l hold, and
I felt that | ought at least tn be with
him while he wuz dissolutin. de-
termined that he should dror his last
ofishal breath ontU my faithful bUz
yum.
I arrived here, aud at wUnst per-
ceeded to the Executive Manshun. 1t
wuZ a familyer sceen. Their WuZ Sew
ard, Randall Secretary Welles and
the President, and all Nv EN- graver
than the stately raven Nv the stately
days NV yore The President was a
tryin to keep stiff upper lip, but |
Good see teers a follerin each other
adown his holler cheeks in rapid sue
cessiOn. =" He's a goner, thot I. no
man kin stand that drain on his
foods No matter how much he may
take In, that pace will kid any one.
The President was a reedIn tele
grams and letters, and they wuz not
Nv a carikter to pleeZe him. The first
wuZ from August Belmont, aud red
thus:
8 hev, ez 700 know, the highest
possible regard for yOore eggslency,
and shell regret exceedingly to see 700
deprived ofyoor high offs but, reelly,
700 kin seacely eggspect the Democ-
/ risy to embarrass Themselves by es
1 pousin yOor coz. The fact IS, no par
| ty heven a fUcher before il kin tie it.
| selG tn a ded past The teemster
draws a sigh ouer a ded mule, but as
a ded mule can't draw his cart, he
naturally turns his eyes onto them
| still pOssest Nv vitality. j hope 700
see the pint without my ezplainin It,.
/ Excuse me for cOmparin 700 to a ded
mule, but the simile wuz the first that
segested itself to me.
With profound respect, l am. ect.
"P. S.-Should biznis call me to
Tennessee, l shell do myself the honor
to call on 700 in yoor dignihed retire
ment."
The President wiped an avalanche
Nv teers, wich follered the reedin Nv
this unfeelin letter, and the next wuz
opened.
"MAYEsvILLE, KY, Feb. 80, t68.
| Wood regiment Nv Irish raised
in this place be Nv any servis ? Anser
y J. A"
Sed Randall, :. the whole county
only polls 800 votes, and that cuss hez
bin BORN me for aplace in the de-
/ partment tor over year. Drive on.
The next wuz from Valiandygum
Since the disgraceful exhibishun
yoOr friends made Nv themselves at
the Philadelphia Convenshn, [ didn' t
consider myself bound to 700. I, ez
700 know, never took any stock in
half and half mixters. Mydefeet by
Thuaman hezn't increased my love
for 700 and yOors. / hey no OBJ
jecshn to yeOr holdih yoor seat to the
end of yoor term, but RELY its a
matter Nv but little conscience to me.
ShOCd 700 pass thro Dayton on yoOr
way to Tennessee, shood be glad to
extend the Inequalities Nv my hum
bic house to yoo."
The next wuz from Franklin
Peerse, and wuz dated at Concord,
| n. H -
9" feel for VOC; that is, L feel for
700 on general principles. (Thad.
| Stevens, permit me to say, In paren-
thasis, hez bin feeiin for 700. and hez
at last, / am satisfied, found yoo) |
feel for 700 ez l do for every man who
hez a offs and is obleeged to leave it.
| Nevertheless, | can't help 700 /
wood, but 700 see we hev all we kin
do to help ourselves. OF course 700
don't expect the Dimocricy to take
any part in the struggle between 700
and Congris. Elected ez a Republi-
kin, with Republicans in yoor Cabi-
net, the Dimocrisy, while they APP
plaud wat you hev done, cant of
| coOrse make your quarrel theirs.
When 700 leave Washington for Ten
nessee, can't 700 take Concord IN yOor
way? | hev no obiecshen to minglin
teers with 700.
The next was from a Western poll
tisben, lately appinted master:
4 SIR: l return the appointment VOC
gave me last month, with loathin and
skOrn I survived the Moo Orleans
and Memphis massacres -yoor opposi-
ton to the will NV COngris. aud all
the other damnin iniquities Nv yOor
