try's distress will never be forgiven
or forgotten by the loyal people Of
East Tennessee. Mr.. johnson, in
retiring to his old home, finds many
familiar faces to welcome his return.
and so long as he iscontcnt withthe
privacy to which they have assigned
him, their intercourse will be friend
ly enough; but if he has any aspira-
tons for Congress, as has been init
mated by his friends, he will find the
people of his Congressional district
have not forgotten his course during
the past five years, made by reason
of his position part of the history of
thecountry. We donot believe Mr..
johnson will poll the strength of his
party in such a contest. We know
he could not be elected.
The ex-President has recently pur-
chased the large brick block known
in Greenville as the Lowerv block:
The purchase was made for cash, at
very low terms-probably not more
than habits real value. tits general
u believed in Greenville that he will
soon establish a bank. lie has the
means, and has been frequently ur-
ged to do so for the convenience of
the businessmen ofthat and adjoin-
ing towns. AS it is now, they have
no bank nearer than Knoxville, aud
they find it now almost impossible
to do longer without one.
The ex-President spends most Of
his time in study. lie writes great
deal, and it is generally supposed
that he contemplates soon, publish
ing a book which shall be a defense
of"my policy" and his administra-
ton. He has some visitors from a
distance, and during court sessions
his house is daily filled from early
morning till night by his friends
from the country, who think him
the greatest man of the age.
The people of the whole country
will be interested in hearing some
thing of the very estimable and
pleasant ladies who did the honors
of the White House with SO much
credit during Mr.. Johnson's admin
istration. Mrs. Slower, who made
many friends during her residence in

carries to her now quiet home al
the modesty and dignity that graced
the Executive Mansion. Mrs, Pat

farm at Home Station.
