CHICAGO, April 3.-Some members
say the tenure Of Office bill is not what
Butler and Bingham represented, aud
this is getting up some feeling on the
matter The President will probaIy re-.
frain from signing till a motion for > re-
call Is acted on. The President hesitates
to sign and will probably veto the bill

Congress contest Interpretation, while
jurists believe it restores thes uspended
officers.

KNOXVILLE, April 3.-The city IS
thronged with people to-day, on the occa-
sion Of Andrew Johnson making a pub
lie address to which about 5000 people
listened. johnson asked for fair ex-
animation of his record. He said, ho
intended to devote the remainder of his
life as private citizen to the vindication
of his official life and his native State
from obloquy cast upon them. He allud-
cd to obituaries of himself published in
the papers, said he might be regarded as
one risen from the dead. He thought
one coming from the grave should be be-
lieved, aud said there was great danger
that the Legislative department will wipe
out the executive and judiciary depart
ments of this government.
He compared the acts of Congress to
the acts of Great Britain to the Colony
before the revolution, and said wiso and
good Prince was infinitely better than an
arbitrary despotic Congress. Noticing
the accusation about his being the Moses
of the blacks, he asked if it was not he
who had freed the negroes of Tennessee.
Freedom is only liberty to work, not to
build up miserable Lazaroni to be sup
ported by the Government. He never
deceived white or black man He told
his auditors that they were all slaves of
the bondholders, who mover shed drop
of blood. Would to God the Govern
ment had not credit to borrow q dollar to
carry on the war. Thank God my hon.
ors have not boon gained through blood.
Wounded soldiers cannot attribute their
wounds to me.
