If anybody has supposed that ex-President
Johnson would succumb under the triumph of
his opponents, they will find themselves mis-
taken. According to all the accounts of his
conversations since his arrival in Washington,
he is certainly as outspoken, and as plain spok-
as can possibly be desired. Of Gen. Grant, it
seems, he does not hesitate to express the
most decided opinions-as, also, upon the
whole course and policy Of the Radical party.
We gave specimen in yesterdays Gazette. -
1t is reported by the Washington correspon
dent OF the Baltimore Sun, that he johnson
said he considered Gen. Grant not entitled to
the great credit that had been given him, as
the one who terminated the war; the war was
ended only BY sending to him large masses oil
men from time to time, which finally overpow
cred the South.
Mr.. j. w. Forney appeared at Culpeper
Court House yesterday, and made speech in
favor Of the Radicals and of the Wells ticket.
After ne had concluded, ex.Gov. VIM. Smith,
by request, addressed the people, in an animated
and strong speech in reply. Mr., Forpey took
occasion to announce that the administration is
10 favor Of the Wells ticket, and to assert that,
10 his opinion, Mr. Lewis Mckenzie viii not
be allowed to take his seat in Congress il elect
ed. As to the administration being in favor OF
Wells, that is their falkland no business Of
orrs-aud if the House of Representatives do
not admit Lewis Mckenzie, We do not think
they will admit any Union man who isa native
OF Virginia. They will prescribe Union men
as we'll as Rebels in that event.
The Washington Chronicle says there are
now at the custom house in Georgetown, hav-
ing Just arrived, and awaiting the orders of the
persons for whom they are intended, presents
Tor President Grant, General Sherman, Mrs.
Lincoln, and ex Secretary Seward. That tol
the President consists Of service oil silver, in
laid with gold, twenty four pieces Mrs. Ian
coin, several pieces of silverware. The whole
are IRON gentleman residing in Mexico, who
approved the course OF Mr. Lincoln, and the
gentlemen named above.
1t is said that the monthly public debt state
ment UP to July will not DO SO favorable to thu
Government as will be the full returns for The
year. when received from all sources, The
Treasury has redeemed nearly one million o
three per cts during the present month The
internal revenue receipts will be very heavy fol
the remaining two days Of this month, and
the total for the year will undoubtedly reach
$l58,O00,000
The Radical papers are very busy just now,
in attributing to Chief Justice Chase political
movements looking TO his being candidate for
President at the next election. They charge
HIM with affliating with the Southern people,
81. 1t is certainly, al least three years too
soon for another Presidential campaign TO com
mence.
Rodas, the new Captain General OF Cuba,
arrived at Havana yesterday. lie was quietly
received, and issued q proclamation declaring
that 'his platform is, Spain, Justice, Moral
n.y." There had been some fighting in the
island, variously reported, and the yellow
lever is spreading.
Isaac N. Morris, one Of the Government
Commissioners appointed last March to ex-
anime the unaccepted portion OF the Union
Pacific Railroad, has submitted long report
10 President Grant, denounciDg and condemn.
ng It's construction in almost every particular.
The Washington Chronicle (Forney) urges
the election Of the Wells ticket, of Whittlesy,
a e. III ~
why the Conservatives should give a long pull,
strong pull and pull altogether.
Ii is said that many sensible colored men 10
and near Norfolk, Charlottesville, Danville and
other places, have signifed their determination
TO vote for the Walker ticket. They formed
Walker club in Norfolk.
There is q rumor that Attorney Genera!
IlOar will shortly resign. 1t is alluded to in
the Washington Chronicle.
Accounts of the result of the harvest, so far,
are everywhere favorable.
The first boil OF cotton grown in Georgia. this
season, has been sent to Savannah.
OUR HANOVER correspondent desires us to
say, that in the haste Of writing, q private re-
mark Of appointment Radical was inadvertently
attributed to Judge Page, as part Of his pub
lie speech. He publicly affirmed that Walker
would never be permitted to take his seat if
elected" he did not publicly say that
those who controlled the ballots, would not
suffer him to be elected.
