how truly his ruling passion minifcsted

A SAD STORY.
THE ISLANDER ON EX.PRESIDENT
JOHNSON AND MRS. HAROLD.
HOW 1T STARTED AND ITS TERRI
BILE RESULTS.
A SHOCKING TRAGEDY.

From the Knoxville Chronicle (Radical), 25th.l
About the last of April the detailed cir
cumstances Of a great scandal, based on oc-
currences said to have taken place in
Greeneville, reached the Chronicle re-
porter, and under circumstances that indi-
Gated that they had ut least some founda-
ton. Desiring TO act with proper care
and judgment before giving the rumors
publicity, We telegraphed to responsible
citizens of Greeneville, asking MS to the
truth of the stories. They promptly an
swered by telegraph that the charges were
false. Subsequently the story reached us
again with full circumstances, and in Or
der to ascertain the real truth, one of the
editors Of the Chronicle went to Greene
vile to make an investigation of the case
THE FALSE RUMoRs.
As the names Of the parties and the
charges in an exaggerated form have been
made public we propose now to give tho
result of our investigation. The card
published in yesterdays Chronicle camo
to us too late on Thursday night to enable
us to send this statement forth with it, as
we should have done had the parties in
| terested In Greenville sent us copy Of the
card referred to, in proper time.
The story originally started was that
Mrs. Harold and ex-president johnson
| had had improper intercourse with each
| other for some time. The story ran that
these meetings took place in Mr.. John
sons library, which is next door to Mr..
Harolds house, and that the liason was
discovered by Mr.. II. meeting his wife late
ut night coming from the library with a
blanket shawl over her head. The story
ran that Mr.. Harold had suspected the in
timacy, and on tho night referred to had
watched his wife and caught her on the
street disguised MS referred TO. He was
said TO have halted her, asked her who she
was, pulled the shawl from her face, but
that She had avoided him and gone around
behind the house hoping TO enter BY tho
back door unobserved. Her husband, how
ever, anticipated her, went 70 the back
door, and there found his suspicious con-
hrmed. The report was that they had
highGwords, and that their quarrel had
been overheard. This was substantially
the story as 1t originally came out In
Greeneviile. We may DO mistaken us TO
some OF the details, but we have given tho
main facts as wo heard them. The state
msn~ were false In every respect.

STOREY ON MARSHALL.
THE CoN0REssMAN's LETTER--woRDs OF
CHEER-RATHER SENSIBLE WORDS FROM
Mr. STOREY.

THE CoN0REssMAN's LETT ER--woRDs OF
CHEER-RATHBR SENSIBLE WORDS FROM
MR. STOREY.
From the Chicago Times, 2sth May.l
The Hon. s. s. Marshall has written a
cool, calm, and timely letter to the Demo-
cratic newspaper In Cairo, which in its
mistaken and foolish zeal on behalf Of the
Cha ppaqua philosopher, had grossly mis-
Represented Judge Marshall, and, directly
| or indirectly, every other Illinois Demo-
crat who advocated the nomination Of
Judge Davis to the Presidency as q Re-
| publican who would do what the Chappa.
qua sage has utterly failed to do, namely,
unite upon himself the entire opposition
to Grant, and therefore defeat the candi-
date of corruption in the presidential con-
test.
Judge Marshall's explanation is in
tended only as a personal one; yetjn ex-
planning the reasons and motives of all
other democrats who expressed an earnest
desire for his nomination by tho gather
ing of republicans at Cincinnati. Never
theless, that the auxiliary organs Of Grant
the inconsiderate journals that are
championing republican candidate
whose election Of Grant is an utter impos-
sibility-will continue 10 misrepresent the
reasons and motives OF democrats who are
compelled to differ from them, Is very
probable.
Judge MaAhall says:
al DO not know of any movement on
foo. to bring Judge Davis before the Bal
timore convention. l hope that no such
purpose now exists, and feel confident that
Judge Davis himself would not permit"
This ought to pu: an end to the misrep-
resen nations by the papers that are labor
ing (undcr a white-coat delusion) for
Grant, in that respect ut least.
Judge Marshall utters some words OF
excellent counsel TO those democrats who
delude themselves with the thought that
il is possible to beat Grant by dividing
and dispensing, instead Of uniting and
concentrating, the opposition to him. He
| says:
"There never was time when spirit
of harmony, Cancellation and forbearance
was more needed than now. 1t would be
criminal in US to waste our strength in a
time like this by worse than useless con-
tentions among ourselves. 1t is impossi-
bic that we should all see things rs our
neighbors see them, but let us determine "a
act together, let our differences be what they
may, FOR IN THIS Is OUR ONLY SAFETY
If tits our destiny to go as allies to the
liberal republicans, let us not go as dis
banded, demoralized rabbie, rendered i'm.
potent by our oien discussions but rattle,
as an organized and disciplined army q
freemen."
The Times desires 10 commend these
words of wisdom, from one Of the mos
considerable, prudent, and earnest demo
Gratis in the west, to the thoughtful con
sideration of all those who are laboring To-
the election of Mr.. Grant, by striving 4
perpotuate discord and division, instead o
to restore unity and harmony in the dem
ocratic party.

KOERNER AND PALMER.

"Mack," the Warrington correspondent
of tho Missouri Democrat under date
| May "a, writes as follows:
In Illinois, the liberal republicans pro-
| pose TO nominate Ex-Governor koerner
seainst General Oglesby, with the expecta..
ton that he will carry the German and
democratic vote, and help to give the state
TO Greeley. If Koerner Is q Greeley man,
he has changed his opinions since the 4th
of Nav. for on that evening he was swear
ing BY the jumping Jehosaphst that ne
would never vote for the old scoundrel
He was the bitterest Of all the prominent
Germans who denounced the Cundurango
ticket. Poor Palmer 10 TO be left oYi in
tho cold entirely, with nothing but vne
slim promise Of an ONCE from Greeley.
The attempt made In this paragraph to
throw suspicion upon the devotion of Gov
ernor Koerner to the Liberal cause, can
have no effect in face of the well-known
fact that he has publicly declared his in
tention to support Greeley and Brown.
At the Liberal conference in Springfield
last week, Mr.. Koerner said that tho NOM
nations at Cincinnati had been fairly
made, and that, although he would have
preferred another man, he, could support
Mr.. Greeley with enthusiasm and zeal.
He 10 the favorite Of many Liberals and
Democrats for Governor, and would re-
ceive the hearty support Of Gov. Palmer
for that position.
We know this to be fact. At the con-
ference, q Democrat had said he had no
doubt the Democrats of Illinois would
cheerfully vote for either Palmer, Trum-
bull or Koerner. Gov. Palmer, fol.
lowing this gentleman, said the Liberals
and Democrats should select as their NOM
inees for State offices the best men, and
for Governor a man who would uphold
the dignity and defend the independence
of the State, "and," said he, pointing to-
wards Governor Koerner, "there is the
right man for the place." The applause
which followed, was a compliment to Gov
ernor Koernor of tho most fsttering kind.
When Gov. Palmer had concluded his
remarks, Gov. Koerner said there were
many reasons which would constrain him
10 refuse to consent to be candidate for
the Office of governor, the insuperable
ones being private, but that he would not
fail to give all the aid be could TO whoever
might be selected to bear the standard Of
reform and progress.
Both Governor Palmer and Governor
Koernor have acted in the most unselash
manner, and neither will be left out in the
cold by the friends Of the Liberal cause
They are of the pioneers, and the people
will not fail to reward them both will
confidence and honors.

REMARKABLE ScESE.-A remarkable
scene occurred in the British House Of
Lords two or three weeks ago. In the
British Parliament, a member of the House
of Commons who becomes bankrupt
thereby loses his seat if he does not pay up
within u twelvemonth; and bankrupt
peer is utterly disqualified from sitting,
voting, or speaking in the House Of Lords.
On discharging his Indebtedness, however,
bankrupt peer becomes rehabiltated.
These provisions are of recent introduce
ton. Formerly, Parliament was favor
tie refuge for impecunious aristocrats who
wished TO avoid the unpleasant attentions
of the bailffs. A victim to the new rules
of the House of Lords, DE Maulay, who
had been compelled to vscate his seat,
having paid his creditors, and produced a
certificate from the Court of Bankruptcy
TO that effect, on motion Of the Lord Chan.
| cellor, has been reinstated in his privileged
AS peer, with all the formalities due to Sc
important an event. This WAS the first
occurrence Of such scene in that body.

From the saratogian.l
Speaking of his adaptability for business,
the great merchant prince said that for
many years he had the utmost distaste for
business, SO much 80 that he dsliked the
task even Of purchasing articles for his
own personal use that he hated to go and
buy pair of gloves. That Mr.. Stewart
has managed to overcome this repugnance
to trade was exhibited in the statement, IN
reply to a question, that he now employed
twenty-five hundred persons, had crossed
the ocean thirty-fve times, and had sold
upward Of $75, 900 worth of goods at retail
in one day. Mr.. Stewart stated that his
ambition was to make the sales at his up
town store reach 100000 per day. He
keeps busy about five hundred porters,
and has delivered from his retail store as
many as five thousand packages in one
day. At this establishment he has eleven
hundred employees. Mr.. Stewart appears
TO carry the responsibility Of his enormous
business with perfect ease, comprehend.

hearty, wsll-preserved man of about
seventy years, and looks as though he
might enjoy the blessings Of life for q

MR.. STOREY ON MR.. MARSHALLS
LETTER.

In another place in THE BULLETIN we
publish the comments Of Mr.. Storey, who
is tho Chicago Times upon the letter of
Mr.. Marshall to the editor of this paper.
THE BULLETIN has not, as Mr.. Storey
charges, misrepresented the Democrats who
desired the nomination Of Judge Davis by |
the Cincinnati convention. We believe
the majority Of those Democrats desired
Judge Davis nomination because they
mistakenly thought he would DO the
strongest man that could DO put in the
field against Grant, but We know that Mr..
ssorey's advocacy Of tho Judge was for
personal reasons. To this we had no OBJ
jectisn, but when that gentleman, an
gered because he could not dictate to the
Liberals, turned upon them maliciously,
and, after declaring the Democratic party
dead-after having driven the party in
Illinois into support Of the Liberal move
ment-raised his voice in shameful denun.

Mr.. voorhees, was disappointed. The
manner Of his speech betokened that. He
saw at glance that he had made mis-
take, that the people were not with him nor
could he by the witchery of his eloquence
or any OF the arts of orAtory stir them to
applause. His splendid appeal 10 the
working classes made no impression. The
tub thrown TO the German whale failed to
reach its mark, and in all that vast district
extending and stretching "two hundred
miles away answered not word Of APP
prevail to his eloquent appeals. And
why? The solution is plain. 1t was evi.
dent that he felt it, and we are inclined To
think he will retrace his steps at the
proper time. In his speech, Mr.. Voor-
hees said he had no favorite candidate to
present for the presidency, but that he
would labor on until the 9th Of July to
defeat Mr.. Greeley, but he was careful not
to say he would not support him if nomi-
mated ut Baltimore, but that If nominated,
he would simply "wrap the drapery 70
his couch about him and lie down to
pleasant dreams" Good bye, Daniel.
