what the london Times Says.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The London Times,
in its obituary article on Andrew Johnson,
says: His career illustrates both the
strong and weak points Of American social
and political systems. During his tenure
of Office he showed himself wanting in tact,
refinement and knowledge of men yet, he
had some qualities which are not so album
dant in American politics as to be dispised
when found. He had dauntless courage,
solely political insight and honesty never
Swallowed by suspicion.

The casket arrived from Knoxville
on the up train at six o'clock, and the

sealed. The casket is very hand
some one of Raymond's best make,
is heavily trimmed in silver, with
Masonic emblems, and bears Masonic
plate with the simple inscription,
"Andrew Johnson, aged g."
Many strangers are already in town,
and kilograms pour in by wholesale,
asking after the hour of the funeral
and rendering sympathy to the friends.
The arrangements for the funeral are
not yet completed, but are being push
ed forward as fast as possible.
The indications are that it will be
the largest ever held in the State, il
not in the country, aud that this an
cient borough will be literally deluged
