Mr.. Johnson. Dinners.

Mr.. Reverdy johnson has two more dinners
awaiting him, having been invited by GER
tain British corporate authorities to public
show He has accepted, and will, as a mat
ter Of course, attack their mutton aud their
champagne, and amer dinner tell the Brit
ishers who destroyed our merchant marine
how well Jonathan loves John Bull, and
how there Is to be an abiding peace between
the two countries.
Mr.. johnson has, we think, negotiated
three treaties which now lie dead to all ap-
pearance upon the table In the Senate Cham
Der, where, unless there is considerable tink-
ering and amendment, they are likely to lie
forever, for Reverdy's time lie short; and we
advise those burly Englishmen who were so
intent and so industrious in destroying our
commerce with the piruticai Alabamas which
they fitted out during the war to hurry up the
cakes, so that they may hob-nob and be jolly
In true Mark Tapley style with their friend
Reyerdy before he retires to the privacy Of
his own home in the monumental city. We
trust that not many days Will elapse aftcr
President Grants Inauguration before new
man will represent us at the court Of St.
James.
