a johnson anees.n..1

audience comprising about 900 men, many
of whom were for Cheatham. The meet
ing was called ostensibly for the purpose of
forming johnson Club, but, as is general
ly the case, there were some few men pres
ent who were suffering from a surplusage
of words, which flowed with copioas free
dom, and-wasted their sweetness on the
smiling crowd.
Col. Colyar was the first to relieve HIM
self, which he did in his peculiar style, de-
voting his time to ex-Gov. Harris,
the anti-Johnson campaign doe
uments, and Johnson's foes, and after en-
veloping all in a cloud ofmurky misappre-
tension, he retired and requested that Mr..
Jeup, the editor of the Daily Emigrant,
German paper published in this city,
should address the meeting. Accordingly
Mr.. Jeup came forward and gave brief
though witty speech, in which he said that
he was prepared to answer any questions
that might be put to him. Some one then
called out, chow about Carl Schurz?n and
he gave bis opinion candidly, and it was a
favorable one of course. After he had an
sTered great many questions satisfactory
ly calls were made for Capt. Bingham to
make a speech, Mr.. Jeup thought that the
crowd when they called "Bingham," were
referring to Senator Bingham who conduct
ed the johnson impeachment trial, and
so answered them, giving as his opinion
that the gentleman was a fraud. He then
retired, and as the cries "Biogham" still
C 'ntinued, the gentleman-Capt. Bingham,
who dur ng the war was connected with
one of the Memphis papers, came up smil-
ing, and Jeup saw that there was living
member of the Bingham family present.
He accordingly told the audience that what
he had said regarding bingham" he would
take back, as he did not know there was
any one in the crowd by that name. The
affair produced considerable merriment.
When Capt. Bingham had finished, w.
G.. Brien, the independent candidate for
Congressman from the Fifth district, was
called for, but said he did not have time to
make much Of a speech, as his
opponents were then addressing an
assemblage on Broad and Market
streets, where he must shortly 60. He
could moi, however, leave the audience
without rehearsing the greater part Of thu
little jokes which he had gotten off against
his opponents in various parts of the dis
trict during the canvass, all of which he
did with infinite satisfaction to himself and
some of the crowd.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Brien's remarks
the following committees were appointed:
