Henry S. Foot replies in the Nashville

Henry S. Foot replies in the Nashville
Press and Times of Monday morning to
a portion of Ex-President Johnson's
speech, in which he assumes that john
son charged him with ingratitude. He
denies the charge, and AYERS that he
owes nothing to the forbearance or gen.
erosity of Johnson. who, he alleges, to-
gether with Mr.. Seward, treated him
|nnkindly and cruelty. He denounces
johnson as seditionist, to whom the
people of Tennessee are indebted for
acknowledgements; charges him with
usurpation and tyranny, and admon-
ishes the people of the Southern States
not to be controlled by him, but to ac-
cspt the legislation of Congress and
confide in Gen. Grant, who. he assures
them, is their friend, and desires to
restore them to prosperity and ggea geeeas
government. He also charges that
johnson Is opposed to negro suffrage
and political equality. and refers to
Johnson's interviews with Fred. Doug
lass, in which he said these things would
lead to war Of races to sustain him.

The Word White.

The Democracy of the Ohio Legisla-
ture inserted the word white wherever
they possibly could in the bill introduc-
ed by DR.. Scott to authorize county
in certain cases, to erect
a "Cbildren's Home" These Demo-
cratic Legislators are willing, in certain
cases, that poor little starving orphan
children shall be taken up and cared
for, provided" they are white! 1t is
almost impossible to believe that in this
Christian day and generation there are
men who, in dispensing charity and al
leviating suffering, would stopto inves-
tigate the color of the sufferers skin;
but it is really fact that we have such
men in the State of Ohio, and at this
time they are majority in our Legisla-
ture. A more spiteful and infamous
exhibition Of party malignancy was
certainly never seen in the State OF
Ohio.-Exchange.

Fitting End to A Robbery.

James Brown, one of the robbers of the
Treasury of Coshocton county, in 1858,
was convicted last week. Brown, a
cOnspired with Ketchum, the
Treasurer, to take the county money,
about S22, 900, and to give it the appear
ance of robbery, Ketchum was left
in the Office bound and gagged. He
was Democrat, and there was then a
Democratic Legislature in Ohio-a visi-
tation which comes once in ten years
which in most suspicious haste passed
an act to relieve the Treasurer. Upon
this he had the effronty to sue the State
Journal for libel because it commented
on the suspicious circumstances and re-
monstrated against this hasty action
This suit was continued along for years
and finally allowed to die The county
spent $40. 900 in trying to ferret out the
robbers. At'length Ketchum quarreled
with Brown because he kept the lions
share, and exposed the whole affair
Brown is said to be worth S100,000. He
was sentenced to ten years in the peni-
tentiary and to pay fine of $40, ,0OO.-

The Pacific Road.

The controversy between the Union

was settled on such terms that they win
stay settled. The common terminus

is to pay for and own whatever is built
beyond that point by the first named.
Every body here is gratified that the
agreement was reached, and that the
junction is named in the bill passed and
signed on Saturday. Private kilograms
show there remain but about fifty miles
to build before the through line is COM
pleted, and thi- can certainly be put
down during hi, month. The officers
of the two Companies have decided that
they will not have any general excur-
sion over their line this summer, as they
wish to use all rolling stock III putting
