JOHNSON ON GRANT.

Here is the opinion of the late Presi'
dent, Andrew johnson, of his successor
in office, General Grant. as given to a
newspaper correspondent lately. John
son thus expressed himself:
Grant is entirely absorbed in self. He
is bent on having another term, for he
is making a fortune out of his Office, and
don't want to give it up. About four
years more will finish his fortune, If it
don't the country. He is the first Amer
lean President who ever tried the exper-
Uncut of getting rich in Office, and he
wants to make it a success. II is hu-
initiating to an intense degree to see the
highest officer Of our Government grab
bling for riches like a pawnbroker. If
:; ;is country is to be afflicted with him
for a1other four years, it would be well
to find out just how much money he
wants, aud make it up and give it TO
him. Let him set his figures, and let
the people shell out the amount, and, if
possible, stop the bribe-taking, gift-tak
ing, oflice-selling and horse speculation
propensities Of this little whifiit

ABOLITION OF LAW.

Letters received in New York by
friends of families who live in those
counties of South Carolina which have
been placed under martial law represent
the situation there as terrible in the ex-
IRENE. The streets of the villages are
deserted except by the soldiery; gentle
men do not dare to go abroad for fear
their appearance may be the signal for
arrest; and their wives, mothers and
daughters are either grieving over the
absence Of those who have been i'm
prisoned or in a safe of constant appre-
hension lest their families should be
broken up by further arrests. A man S
innocence of all completely in the out
RACES of the Ku-Klux, or even of
any feeling of sympathy for the
purposes of that organization, fur
nishes no protection; the merest
breath of suspicion or the malignant
ISLANDERS of personal enemies, are sufi-
cient grounds for tearing the suspected
individual from his home and immuring
him in a prison where he may be kept as
long as the military authorities see fit to
hold him, without any opportunity to
meet his aecusers, or even the poor sat
isfaction Of knowing who they are.
Worse than all, it is believed that it is
deemed necessary for political purposes
that arrests shall be followed by convic-
ton, and many refined and gently-nur-
tured women who know their husbands
to be free from all connection with any
infractions of the laws, live in the dread
Of seeing them sent to Northern penn
tentiaries as convicts on the perjured
testimony of frightened and degraded
wretches who hope to save themselves by
bringing ruin on their innocent neigh
hore

AFTER GRANT.

The Louisville Ledger of yesterday
says. Hon. Garrett Davis, of this State,
as will be seen by our telegraphic re-
port of yesterdays proceedings of the
United States Senate, is after Grant
with a sharp stick. He threw a bomb
shell into the Radical camp, in the
shape of a resolution calling for com
mittee to investigate the charges OF the
Presidents nepotism, Seneca sand
stone, San Domingo and other specula-
tons, which called Morton, of Indiana,
and Edmonds, of Vermont, to their feet.
These gentlemen expressed their desire
for the passage, claiming that the chance
was now offered to vindicate the Presi-
dent; but the Senate took great care to
lay the resolution over, knowing full
well that investigations we're going on
now quite sufficient to damn Grants
administration to everlasting fame.
