At last, my own turn came, and was ad-
mtted TO the Presidents room. Dir. John
con may have coiistsd on the certainty OF
bis acquttal fsem The hrst, and he may have
had pleasing assurances from the members I,
of lis Cabine. and his counsel, or some 9th
or influence may have had its effect, but it
is sure that have never within the past
two years, seen him in better spirits. He
has, however, oil during the trial been re.
markedly cheerful and hopeful. In an In
tsrvisw, few days since, when conviction
was among tho probabilities. ] judged that
Mr.. johnson did not dread bis conviction

dishonest, unprincipled, and reckless OF the
country's good He did not want the
American people to misunderstood him.
To-day, he had only time to say few
words to each caller, and thank him Tor his
