things, and thatno person could tell when
they would end. he also said to me;
'Theo, this will ell end we'll If you will

: The Richmond Va.) Enquirer says
that the return of johnson to the Sen
ate is somewhat remarkable from the
fact that he is the only President who
has ever gone back to that body after
filing the position OF Chief Magistrate
Of the country" BY no means. If the
Enquirer had been a close student of the
Dyersburg Tenn Gazette for the past
few months it would not have expressed
any surprise at the election Of Johnson,
for that able journal settled the matter
last December by stating that Andrew
Johnson is the only surviving ex-Presi-
dent, and therefore should be sent to the
United States Senate" That remark
made q stone wall Of support for john
son out Of the nine heroes FROM
Shelby county who effected his election.
If the Enquirer can't succeed in getting
the Dyersburg Gazette to exchange,
then in order to keep posted, the En-.
quirer should subscribe for the Gazette.
