HERE is the opinion of the late Pres
ident, Andrew johnson, of his sue
cessor in office, General Grant, as Civ
en- to newspaper correspondent
lately. johnson thus expressed him-
self: a 3
"Grant is entirely absorbed in self.
He is bent on having another term,
for he is making fortune out of his
Office, and don't want to give it up.
About four years more will finish his
fortune if II don't the country. He
is the first American President who
ever tried the experiment of getting
rich in Office, and he wants to make 1t
q success. 1t is humiliating to an i'm
mense degree to see the highest officer
in our government grabbing for rich
es like pawnbroker. If the country
is to be afflicted with him for another
four years, it would be well TO fiud
out just how wuch money he wants,
and make 1t up and give it to him,
Let him set the figures, and let the
people she'll out the amount, and, if
possible, stop the bribe taking, gift
taking, office-selling and horse specu-l
lation propensities of this little whifit,

An election was held in Georgia on
Tuesday of last week for Governor to
I'LL the unexpired term of Ex-Govern-
or Bullock. James M. Smith, the
Democratic candidate, was elected by
$4,000 majority. The people of that
State have thus set the seal of their
condemnation upon the carpet-bag
scalawag and bayonet rule of the Rad
ical dynasty. The Radical Lieaten-
ant Governor and the Radical State
Central Committee declared their pur-
pose not 70 abide the result, and Grant
will find a pretext for further inter
fering in the affairs of that much re-
constructed State. And that is the
way theylfflet as have peace

TRUE Theodore Tilton, in his. Col
den dye, says: ....
And it is the truth, that General
Grant ought never to have been Pres
ident of the United States. The peo-
pie made a fond and affectionate mis-
take III nominating him, and he made
natural and pardonable mistake in
accepting the nomination. We trust
that this mutual blunder is not to be
repeated. we will wait and see.-
Meanwhile, concerning the Presidency
the people are growing wiser-the
President less wise.
There seem to be vast number of
Radicals of the same opinion these
days. Yet il Grant shall be renomi-
mated, we may expect to see all these
men who arc, denouncing him on ac-
count of his blanders, taking the back
track and swearing that he is,the most
proper person in all the realm to occu-
Ply that exalted position,

The Washington correspondent of
the Herald saws:
The facts about the Emma mine
swindle have been diyulged in way
that is far from complimentary either
to American diplomacy or American
Senatorial dignity. Minister Schenck's
compensation lor allowing his name
to be advertised in the English jour-
mails as director of the company was,
it is said, 100000, and Senator Chan
dler had a plum of half million of
dollars in the speculation. Bissel,
Moffit, Waddington, and Hughes,
who engineered the job abroad and
have just got here since their return
from Europe, expected to. make i'm
mense sums of money BY the transac-
ton, These men are well known
Western stock spectators, and their
connection with the Emma mine bu-
siness is no honor either to minister
Schenck or Senator Chandler, inde-
pendently Of the considerations III re-.
gard to the profits these men expect
ed to make by their association with
the adventurers.

Honduras and San Salvador at Swords
Points.
The petty republics of Honduras and Saliva
dor are again at war. The Panama Star and
Herald says:-
'In a circular note to the Governments OF Guate-
mala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica the Minister of
Honduras says that after conciliatory note had
been despatched to the Minister OF Foreign Affairs
of Costa Rica, accepting the mediation of Costa
Rtca for en- arrangement between Honduras and
Salvador, notice has been received by the Minister
of War, from the commander of Chol oluteca, giving
an account of an act of aggression on the night OF
the 21st OF February by force from Salvador, at
tackng and surprising, in the town OF Goascoran,
picquet of soldiers charged with the of the rail-
road.
'This sudden and unexpected attack, without any
declaration of war, and having admitted the media
ton Of Guatemala and Nicaragua proves that Hon.
duras is not the aggressor.
"The note ends by saving that the Government Of
Honduras thus finds herself under the mperious
cessity Of accepting the which has SO justly
been forced on her. leaving all the responsibility
with Salvador.
"In communication to Salvador, the Minister of
Honduras Salvador that the neutrality of the
railroad has been guaranteed by the Governments
OF the United States of America and Great Britain
Honduras formally declared war against Saliva
dor the 9th Of March, on the basis that the gov
eminent Of Senor Duenas OF Salvador, has invaded
the territory of Honduras without previous deca-
ration of war; even while the mediation Of Nicara-
qua and Guatemala had been accepted"

SEVERE FIGHTING IN FRANCE-THE ADVANCING
NATIONALS DRIVEN BACK.
PARIS, April 2, Evening, via London, April
3-6 A. M.-Fighting has been going on at
various points since yesterday. In the Place
de la Ooncorde this morning, cannoneding
was distinctly audible, the sound coming
from the direction of Neuilly.
The fortress of Mont Valerien opened fire
on the columns of the Nationals, which were
marching on Courbevoie, and kept up con-
tinuous fire for several hours, to prevent
them from establishing themselves in position
there. The Nationals were finally compelled
to retreat, after suffering considerable loss in
killed and wounded.
special despatch to the London Times
says the fighting at Courbevoie was sharp.
The reports are conflicting as to which side
fred the first shot. The Nationals were at
first driven into Courbevoie, where they main
tanned themselves for some time, protected
by the houses. They were at last shelled out
by Fort Valerien, and fell back to the bridge
at Neuilly, where they kept up hot fusilade.
From this position they were again forced
to retire, and finally withdrew into the city
and shut the gates. The Versailles troops
did not attempt to follow. An estimate, pro-
badly exaggerated, puts the loss of the Ma
tionals at 200.

THE COLLEGE GHOST.

Another Thrilling Chapter I'm the Memphis
Sensation-Uhe PossessOr of the Myste-
rious Jar nearly Murdered and the
Treasure Stolen.
The Memphis Aodlanche of Wednesday last
has the following:-
Last evening number Of persons were sitting In
the parloTs OF j. r. Robertson Esq, whose name
has become quite prominent in connection with the
spook sensation, when noise was heard In the
back yard as OF some persons talking. Mr. Robert
son remarked that some person evidently in the
yard, and went out to see what was the matter.
In about five minutes, servant man came run
ming into the parlor and said that Mr.. Robertson
was
LYING DEAD IN THE BACK PART OF THE YARD.
Several OF the gentlemen Immediately proceeded
TO where Mr.. Robertson was and found him lying
insensible in pool Of blood near small stable in
the rear OF his lot.
A LONG, UGLY-LooKIEG WOUND,
that appeared as If made with knife or some sharp
instrument, extended about four inches over the
forehead from the left eye back towar ds the crown
Of his head, and also the marks OF person s
fingers upon his throat, as If he had been choked.
A reporter OF this paper at once proceeded to Mr..
RobeTtsons residence and received the following
particulars of the outrage from the sufferer himsef
lie said that just as he stepped out he noticed q
couple Of men standing under the wood-shed. He
had not had time to give any alarm, when the men
the same instant showing pistol in front OF his
face and telling him to give no alarm
or they would Kill him. One of the men
said to him, ave have come after that Jar
and you have got to tell where it is, or Wen Kill
you" Mr. Robertson, fearing for his life, told them
that the jar was underneath the seat in the out
house, attached TO rope and told them how to get
it. One Of the men at started to the clubhouse
while the other remained with him, guarding him.
In abo 1T two minutes the man returned with the
jar, when the man who had been guarding the pri-
soDer suddenly grasped him by the throat and COM
menced choking him severely.
Mr.: Robertson begged the man for Gods sake not
to Kill him. as they now had what they wanted; and
while he was still speaking the other rufan struck
him violent blow over the head with what he sup
posed was pistol, and rendered him unconscious.
WARNED OF VIOLENCE.
He states that he received on Monday morning a
letter telling him that violence was intended him,
but thought nothing Of it..
The questions now are, who attacked him? and at
whose instigation was the attack made? Are there
any persons who feared the result of the jar OPEN
ing? Were the rufians actuated by desire to plum
der, believing the jars contents to be valuables?
This seems the most probable theory; Mr.. Robert
son, during the entire excitement growing out OF
the Brnkley College affair, has only, like hundreds
OF others, sought to unravel the mystery, is man
whose life is blameless and we doubt il he has a
personal enemy in the world
