GRANT OR JOHNsOE-TO THIS
COMPILATION AT LAST

The Banner publishes the testi-
mony of Gen. Grant relative to the
feelings of President johnson
toward Gen. Lee, and regards that
as proof strong as holy writ, and
amply sufficient to convict Mr.,
Johnson. Grants evidence may do
for the Banner, but the people OF
Tennessee who oppose the Radical
policy, will require further proof
than the evidence of Gen. Grant
and the Radical conspirators who
attempted the impeachment, espe-
cially after the squeIching that the
President, backed by his Cabinet
gave Gen. Grant in the controversy
in 1868 about his resignation OF
the position of Secretary OF War
adj interim. The country has not
forgotten how the President i'm
paled Gen. Grant, and fully sus~
tanned himself by the testimony oil
the members of his cabinet, who
we're present at the interview be-
tween tho President and Gen, Grant.
The Banner ON the 18th OF Feb
ruary,. 1868, published the state
ments Of Secretaries Seward
Browning, Randall, McCulloch and
Welles, accompanied by an edlto-
rial from which we make the fol-
lowing extract; t.f. -
We think that, after a careful perusai
of the entire correspondence, from lis IN
cep,ion to the sequel which we give inns
morning, every fair-minded reader will
agree that the President has as triumph
a9tIy vindicated himself as ne has COM
pletely tquelched the late Secretary
ad Interim, and utterly routed the whole
| neat of conspiratoIs.

On Saturday night party of ladies
and gentlemen, consisting Of Captain Nat
Lowe and lady, Charles Roberts and
lady, and Mrs. Woodward, went to
Gaston's and ate ice Cream. Shortly
afterward they were all attacked with a
violent illness, aud DR.. Frayser was
called in under the impression that they
had been poisoned, and such report
actually gained some circulation. The
symptoms were quite alarming at first,
but the patients are all alive and we'll
to-day, DIR. Frayser states unequivocally
that they we're not poisoned, but that
their sickness resulted simply from eating
the ice cream in too great haste. The
ice cream came from Rocco's, and we are
assured that il was as pure as any ever
made, only it was little too cool for |
health. Swallowing an iceberg and then
waiting in bot room for II to thaw is
not as healthy as thawing it first and
then swallowing. Ice cream eaters should
look out. fw
