TEX-PREsIDEST JOHNsON.7

We reprint this morning from the Wash
ington Republican what it claims to be a
verbatim report of ex-President Johnson's
speech At the serensda given him in Wash
ington, on the evening of the 23d inst.
There has been some disappointment that
he made no reference to the Holt-Surratt
matter. The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune wrote, Oct. %, the
evening on which the ex President spoke,
IS follows;
Ex-PIesident johnson decided come
time ago that if be was called upon to make
a speech while in this city he would not re-
fer to the question Of veracity between him
self and Judge Aforementioned Holt on
the subject Of the Communication Of the SEN
teuce Of Mrs. Surratt. There is
reason for believing however, that
he hiss carefully prepared an
Enswerto the recently published pamphlet
ofJndge Holt, wherein the latter shows
that Mr.. johnson was shown the recon-
mendation to clemency of five members of
the court-mGrtisl which convicted Mrs.
Surratt. This answer, it is under stood, is
now being put in type here, and will be
given to The public before Mr.. johnson
leaves the city. His statement, Of course,
will be of negative character, since it is
claimed by Judge Holt that when he sub
mitted the recommendation of the five
members of the court 10 Mr. johnson there
was no third party in the ROOM"
The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing on the oath
inst, confirms this statement, and adds
that the ex-President's version of the matter
win appear IN pamphlet form shortly.

THE Pittsburgh Commercial, Republi-
can organ, which has been proclaimiDg as
Justify as any of the "Independent" jour- ais,
that the Democratic party was dead aid
buried, has recently swoke to the terrible
realization that It is alive and kicking. 1t
says particularly with reference to Ohio:
"The result will undoubtedly be in
terpreted as showing that Thurman was
right, and that the Democratic organization
is strong enough and vigorous enough to be
maintained, The country will be
divided, politically, as heretofore, into two
parties, the Republican and the Democrat
ic. and those who want 10 earn their spurs
as knights must fight in the lists, under the
banners of one or the other of these organ
izations." L.
The independents" will not thank the
Commercial for that.

THE Maryville Republican, edited by a

THE Maryville Republican, edited by a
full-hued mulatto, says:
'Unless We are greatly mistaken, the fate
q of the Democratic aud Republican parties
of Tennessee is in the hands Of ex-Presi-
dent johnson. If his adberents coaiesce
with the Bourbon Democracy, the Republi-
eau party will be defeated. But if the ex-
President takes the field, the result cannot
now be foreseen. Tue contest now going
on is solely between the Bourbons and Lib
erals"
Tbs is all stated doubtless just as the
writer wishes it 10 be. But in the contest
between Democrats aud Independents, it
should be remembered thst among the
warmest adherents of ex-PresideDt johnson
last fall were tens of thousands of un-
eTerying Democrats.

The Lambertville record., 1873-06-25

"A stranger who reported himself as employ
ed by boarding house agency in Philadel-
pha, recently visited Doylestown. The IN
testigescer says he called on the various hotel
keepers and proprietors of private boarding
houses, and offered to furnish them with all
the summer boalders they wanted, on condi-
ton that they would each pay him $40 for
his trouble and to defray the expense of adver-
Using, &c. He labored industriously during
his short stay in the place, and we learn sue
ceeded in doing quite thriving business
Several of the hotel keepers and some private
parties paid him the whole or part Of the
price demanded and it is estimated that he
pocketed $100 in Doylestown We have not
learned that any of the boarders have arrived,
and it is generally considered that some OF the
usually wide-awake citizens have been most
cruelty sold.

WHAT BENNINGTON NEEDS s.-Lambertville
is mean enough i'll some irespects--there is no
denying that-but she is liberal with water,
and that is more than we can give our town
credit for. We were down there last Friday
afternoon, and whether the city fathers knew
of our coming and wanted to show their re-
spect for one SO distinguished we know not
but they mounted man upon d huge keg of
water and told him to dribble it all over the
principal streets and avenues of the city, so
that the horrid dust would not blow into our
eagle eye We like Lambertville for this
1t shows that the comfort of her citizens and
visitors is an object, and that she is not deter
red from doing good even if it does cost a few
dollars. Now why can't we, too, have a street
sprinkler? Will not some enterprisng man
surge the thing?
SO says the local editor of the Huhterdoa
Democrat. We know just, what he means
by the "meanness " he speaks of. He refers
to those in our city land there are great many
of them) who borrow THE RECORD every
week to read, instead of subscribing and
paying for it. That is "mean enough, y in
all conscience.
But the funny part of the article is the idea
that the city fathers-that is a majority of
them-would ever use water for the purpose of
showing respect to any one, even an editor.

DEATH OF Cor. r. r. HoNEyMAN.-Col r.
r. Honeyman, of New Germantown, in this
county, died on Saturday, the 18th inst, at
his residence in that village. A correspondent
of the Clinton Democrat, writing from New
Germantown, gives the following sketch Of
his life:
GA sadness fell upon our citizens on Satur-
day last, when it was announced that Col.
Robert X. Honeyman had departed this ife
Col. Honeynian was born in this place in 1881,
and was at his death thirty-six years of age
In his youth he had thoughtful turn of mind,
and received an education adequate to prepare
him for a prominent position in society. He
commenced business life as a merchant; and
was at one time elected Justice of the Peace.
When the late rebellion broke out, he was ac-
tive in soliciting volunteers to defend the un-
ion, and was chosen captain of company rails
ed In this neighborhood chiefly through his in
fluence. lie was soon made Major in the re-
ginient to which he belonged, then Lieutenant
Colonel, and brevetted Colonel. While in the
service he secured the respect of all the boys
in his command. They speak of him in the
highest terms of respect and affection. Camp
life sowed the seed of the 6fsease in his con-
stitution, SO that he never recovered fully his
natural strength. For several years he has
been engaged in business in st. Louis, Mo-,
where he was active i'll promoting moral and
religious interests but on account of the un-
favorable influence of that climate upon his
health, he returned to his native place. Three
weeks ago he entered upon business relation
in New York. At the end of the first week
his illness commenced and with varied de.
grees of violence progressed to It's fatal issue.
Col. Heneyman, was a man of fintelligence and
high moral character, and gave promise Of a
life of great usefulness. lie leaves a widow
and three children, and is mourned by large
circle of relatives and friends. Hiss funeral
was attended on Tuesday, 18th, in the Luth.
eran Church, by large concourse of people,
many of whom followed his remains sadly to
their last resting place"
