President johnson to Take the Stump

President johnson TO I0Ee the STUN up
HIS Political Vaews.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 2-Advices
from Greenville state that ex-President
johnson is recovering from his recent
sickness, ard that he viii speak in Knox
vile next Saturday. The Tuesday and
Wednesday following he will be in Nash
vile and address what promises to be the
largest crowd ever assembled in the City OF
Rocks.
It is stated that Nlr. johnson is strong
ly opposed to Democratic gubernatorial
canvass, with the franchise left as it is by
the Supreme Court, and the Republicans
in power. Defeat, he thinks, would. un-
der the circumstances, badly damage the
Conservative cause-possibly put off en-
franchisement fortwo or three years. The
object of the forthcoming address is in
tended more as sort Of review Or vim
dication of his presidential career than a
campaign speech.
If there is any possible chance Of Con-
servative success, however, in direct can
vass, Mr.. johnson is bound to give his
stump efforts direction that will have
direct effect. 4 few weeks will determine
whether or not there will be a canvass.
Nearly all the militia scattered through
out the State have been recalled to Nash
vile. This is caused by the general
quiet throughout the State, and from the
earnest appeals to that end made By the
leading men of all political shades.

Grant "cusses" at the Carpet-Boggers
"A Richmond letter in the Petersburg
Enpress says:
Edgar Allen has gone to Washington
to see if the powers there can advise or
assist him in getting revenge. Hunnicutt
has also gone to the capital, with what OBJ
ject I DO not know But these fittings to
and fro, from Richmond, to Washington
and back again, show how i'll at ease the
Radicals of both sides are. They worry
Congress and Grant to death. To one of
these fellows Grant said the other day,
BY G., sir, wish Virginia had seeded
and established her independence ; for
then we would be rid of all the embarrass-
ments that have sprung out of her recon
struction.'"

A Fine Portrait Of Butler.
Don Piatt writes to the Cincinna

Don Piatt writes to the Cincinnati
Commercial:
"The New York Times is pleased to
say that Butler is working himself into the
leadership of the House. Benjamin, sur
named Butler the Beast, is certainly very
busy, but I rather guess this does not
mean leadership. If understand the
honorable gentleman. he means mischief.
''Butler is an ambitious man, as we ali
know he is also sensitive man, as we all
do not know and he has just about as
much conscience and principle as his Sa-
tanic Majesty don't mean Millions dew
il who was gentleman, which Butler
is not, nor that other parsonage spoken Of
in the Book of Job, but the real old fash
Toned devil, with an odd foot and nara
tive attachment, and huge horns, who
goeth about seeking whom he may de-
YOUR. Disappointed in securing the
leadership long since-stung to the quick
by the open contempt shown him by his
fellow-members-he is striving to divide
and destroy the Republican organization.
This has been his history He will rule
or ruin and az he cannot rule, he must
ruin. He hates Grant, while pretending
to be his friend He hates the Repubii-
can party. He hates everything but Ben.
Butler, because he is Ben. Butler, and
Ben. Butler he despises.
