E1-Presidcnt JOhnson's Speech,

On Friday last, Ex- President John
son delivered the address before the
Mechanics of East Tenn, at the In
dustrial Exposition in Knoxville. -
The Radicals complain bitterly of
him, that he abused the courtesy ex.
tended him by making a portion of
his speech political and abusive of
Grant and the Republican policy
He has abandoned his reputation
hobby and now advocates the abolish
mcnt of the National Banks and a
grcenbacE circulation instead. and
that the bonded debt be paid in six
teen annual installments of $3.50. 000-
600. repudiating only the interest. =
We arc free to say that Mr.. Johnson
must not be regarded as 4 representa-,
tive of the Democratic party. In its
palnliest days it could not have car
red such a load rs Mr.. Johnson now
is. He is opposed to the penitentia-
nv system and makes the following
vain and fippant suggestion which, to
say the least, if adopted and admin
istcred 10y the radicals would close
out the brilliant line of the house of
johnson. Under such a law the rad
icals would very quickly cmasculate
Andy:
II am asked how I would dispose of
the convicts as the pCnitentiary system
is wrong. / would say dispense with
your penitentiaries; dispose of your
coIlvitts In some other way. If we
can do nothing else. would divide all
offenders into two classes. First j
state that | believe man can be eieva-
ted, physically, mentally and morally.
Then, instead of sending criminals to
the peitentiary, where they become
the competitors with honest mechan-
les. 7 would divide all offences in two
classes. Tie first class | would hang
The second class | would deprive of
the power of propag&ting their species.
Thus, in a few centuries, man would
become, ihdced, the image of his Crea-
tor: we would have new and better
race of MEN,
The admission may carry with it
certain degree of regret but certain
it is Mr.. Johnson seems about to
Ontliye his fame.

An Incident of The Fair Murder
Case-Hsw the Hurry Agreed.

The San Jose Patriot of April 2S
| contains the following:
On the night OF the day that the iu-
ry, IN the Mrs. Fair case rendered a
verdict, the case and the verdict were
the subjects of animated discussion in
all the saloons and other public places
in San Francisco. Two Of the Jurors
happened to be in one of those saloons,
sitting quietly and unobserved in a
corner where the verdict was being
discussed and the case commented on
with much animation. After some
time, one of the jurors arose and said
Gentlemen, my friend here and N.Y.
self were two of the jurors in that case
and L will tell yOu how it was decided.
During the progress of the trial not
one juror had spoken to his fellow
jurors of the case. No one had OPEN
ed his lips to another in regard to the
evidence or any arguments it seemed
to be a scaled subject for us all, and
when we retired to make up a verdict.
no one juror knew anything of the
opinion of his fellOw-jurors. On en-
'tering the jury room, the first thing
done was to cut piece of paper into
twelve pieces, and TO place number
on each piece from up to y. These
were put up in hat and drawn, and
the slip drawn was the number of the
juror. On these slips each juror wrote
his finding in the case, when his num-
her was called put into the hat. When
l wrote my finding, Murder in the
first degree I hardly thought there
would be another such finding on any
of the slips; but when the slips were
all deposited and taken out and read,
to my great astonishment it was found
that each juror, on the first and only
ballot, had voted just as had, Muir
der in the first degree"
We obtained this incident last night
from authority We consider reliable.
