EX>PREsIDENT johnson severely criticised
Gen. Grant in his Clarksville, Tenn., speech.
Comparing him with Washington, he said
the first contrast is the ditidence and dignity
OF the one, and the arrogant self suficiency
Of the other. Washington did not enter the
Executive Mansion as into a grand gift
establishment; but how is it with the second
Washington He was approached by one
man, whom he afterward appointed Secretary
of the Treasury, with j 365, 900 check; by
his future Secretary Of tine Navy with deed
to furnished house in Philadelphia; by his
Attorney General that was to be, With an
expensive library; and SO on al infnitun,
each one that hoped for Office coming with,
au expensive gilt to purchase it. Here is a
second comparison The real Father of his
g. H.
principles and the good of his country, while
the second Washington was shrewdly looking
out for himself. He concluded by saying |:
81 think the radical party are disiDtegrating
and crumbling away. l am opposed to max.
ing soft bed for them to recline on in death.
The offices are not enough for all +; money is
getting scarce and things lying around loose
have been all picked up. Now they are filled
with discussions and dissatisfaction, and are
fighting for the little residuum of plunder.
Our duty is to give it to them now, 10 press
home upon them and hasten their death by
adheIerce, by bold, manly, courageous adher-
ance to the essential principles of true repub-
lican government"

times and San Francisco twice as much cof,

cate that the latter city was given a ratio
demand for coffee of ten per cent. over the
amount consumed in Boston. Dr. Trail,
in writing on this subject, predicts that the
United States will, within ten years, show a
decrease in the amount consumed, and a
proportionate increase in chocolate.
THE "good times" farmers and others were
to be blessed with, for voting the mongrel
ticket, seems to be the good times they are
having trying to raise money enough to pay
