Arrival OF Ex.Pr0sident Johnson IN
Warrington.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Ex- President
johnson arrived in this city tonight, ac-
companied by Colonel John Williams, Of
Tennessee. The object of his visit is to
attend to private business and to be pres
ent at the commencement of Georgetown
College en- Thursday next, his son being
a pupil at that institution.
Your correspondent sought an inter-
view with the ex-President and found
him in good health and spirits, and will
ing as usual to converse on political and
other objects. He still feels very bitterly
toward Grant. When asked his opinion
of the President and the administration,
he replied very frankly and freely. "You
know what my opinion was in the past,
and have seen nothing in the conduct
Of the administration to induce me to
change that opinion" He then spoke of
the President in the most contemptuous
terms, chsracterizing him as nonentity,
as wanting in physical and intellectual
power, and declared that he was a man
without creed or policy, and therefore
not to be trusted.
He reviewed some of the past acts OF
his own administration, especially those
with which General Grant, as Cabinet
officer, was connected. He said he knew
Grant thoroughly, and had on more than
one occasion read him through and
through, and was satisfied that he was
without substance or opinions OF his own.
He also spoke of Cabinet members from
whom the President had been the recip-
lent Of presents.
He thought it most humiliatiBg spec
tscle that the President Of the United
States should permit himself 10 be placed
under such obligations TO his eonstiiu-
tionsl advisors. He then rehearsed at
length the controversy between himself
and General Grant, and reiterated the
charge Of prevarication on the part Of the
latter. Upon this subject Mr.. johnson
became very warm and showed great
deal of i'll temper and bitterness Of spirit.
he had no favors to ask of this admin-
istration. he said, and no ends to accom-
plish. he had reached the summit Of
his ambition, and his race was almost
run. All that he desired was to see the
Government fixed upon a solid, constr
tutional foundation but he had no hope
Of that under the present administration.
He took the most discouraging views Of
public affairs generally, and entertained
the most serious apprehensions OF the

that efforts are being made to pack the
Irish Republican Convention that takes
place in Chicago on the fourth of July,
with Irish Democrats from this and other
States that no delegate from Penn

ton without credentials made out and
signed by the proper authorities, and that
the Convention will assemble not in the
interest of any clique or ring of Irish or
American politicians, but to enunciate
and give support to the principle Of
universal suffrage, protection to the
American Union, and the social and po-
litical elevation of the Irish race on both
hemispheres.

The Regfsfrarnhip.

EDrroR LEDGER: Before the crude and
iIl-digestsd notions ahoat in regard to the
identity of the Commissionership Of
Registration of this county shall have
engendered confusion, it may be well
enough for those more directly interested
TO know how the case stands, and then
action can be taken with some practical
results. By the act Of June 8, 1865,
chapter Is and section 6, the duty Of reg
istering voters was imposed upon the
Clerks of the County Court. This act
created no new Office. 1t required no
oath of Office, nor did it in the least alter
or change the character Of the Office of
Clerk. but simply said that in addi-
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1869-07-01

| ten TO the usual duties, q certain
officer In existence and we'll known
to the law, should perform another
duty. Thus the law stood until
May 8, 1866, when the Legislature
saw ct to create new Office, hitherto
unknown to the law, to-wit: that Of
Commissioners of Registration" for
each county; gave the Governor the
power to appoint, prescribed the duties
| of the Office, and pointed out the mode Of
his removal from Office. See acts of'65
| and &c, chapter 80. Under this law
James Davis was appointed and qualified,
and continued to act until he was forcibly
removed by Governor Brownlew late in
ga, or early in SO, and J. j. Sears APP
pointed. Shortly before the election OF
county officers in March, SO, the Legis-
lature took from the Sheriff and gave to
the Commissioner the right to hold
elections, by virtue of which Sears held
the elections in the county in March, 81.
Some of these elections were contested,
and in the argument of the cases before
that lofty and Immaculate tribunal, the
County Commissioners Court, the ques-
ton was raised whether the Governor
had the power to remove Commissioner
of Registration, and the negative of the
question was pressed upon the court with
great earnestness by the counsel for the
contestants. The learned court solemnly
decided in favor of the power, overruled
the objection, and placed the negro in
Office But the force of the question was
such in the estimation of the intelligent
portion of the party that in very short
time after the argument of the case the
Legislature passed an act giving the
Governor the power of removal. 1t
seems now that Radical Judge has at
last justified the objection taken before
the Commissioners Court, and before
Judge Pierce of the Law Court, more
than year since, even in the
face of PLAIN act of the Legislature
passed expressly to meet the difficulty. |
Now then, if the Governor has not the |
power of removal, who ia the Commits
,ioner2 Clearly not Mr.. League. He
has not been removed from Office either
BY the Governor or the Legislature. He
found certain duties annexed to his office
when he took it. The Legislature took
hose duties from the Office of clerk which
did not originally belong to it, and i'm
posed them upon an officer created by
he same act for that purpose. Mr.. James
Davis was duly and regularly installed
in that Office; has never resigned il; has
never ceased to claim that he is rightfully
he Commissioner, and has never been
displaced by any act except the order of
he Governor, which the Chancellor says
Is void If, therefore, Mr.. Davis sees fit
% open his Office at once, and 90 to work
n it, who shall gainsay him2 Williams
g not Commissioner, and never was.
Sears never was No one ever was, for
his county, but Mr.. Davis. Out Of this
,tate of things questions may grow and
confront his Honor the Chancellor,
where, perhaps. he did not look for
hem. n
