Washington Correspondence Of the New York
Herald.
COrrespondent-Idea Of the Civil
Rights bill and its effect:
Andrew JohnsOc-With the ceme-
terry and school clauses eliminated 1t IS
not so Objectionable as originally draft
ed. Nevertheless, I believe the people
Of the country have come to the con-
clusion that either the negro must be
put in his proper place, or the two
races must separate. think the mat
ter will eventually settle itself if a poll
cy Of moderation and calmness pre-
walls.
COrrespondent-And now, what do
you think Of the political outlook?
Andrew JohnsOn-It is not all clear.
l think the people Of the South are dis
posed to be prudent and careful, and If
the entire Democratic party act IN
proper way, we may return to a happy
prosperity. Both Of the existing par
ties are on trial In New York the
Democrats carried the State last fan,
by about fifty thousand, while, two
years before, the Republicans had a
majority of fifty thousand; but this was
not all clear gain. There was a large
Republican element that refused to
vote with the Republican party, and
yet was not ready to join the DemOc-
racy. It is this element that must be
secured before either party can hope
for success at the next election, and, If
moderate cOunsels prevail, l have no
doubt the Democrats may secure 1t.
In the South, | think, there IS a
marked improvement. The feeling Of
terrorism which necessarily sprung up
and followed the rebellion Is dying out,
breaking down, and men are begin
ming to act and think for themselves.
NY election illustrated this. Against
me were ranged a number of COnfede-
rate generals and some effort to enforce
| the old spirit Of terrorism IN their be-
half was made; but it failed. My
election was the first triumph of Union
principles in Tennessee since the war.
And now / want the Herald to cor
rect one thing for me. An impression
has gone abroad that l come here to
avenge my private grievances, to re-
dress personal injuries. 1t is not so.
1 have no wrongs TO redress but my
country's. My election settled all per-
sonal injuries ever inflicted. Ieonsider
that triumph sufficient, and bury all Of
nv grievances behind it. / come
now to deal only with present issues.
| Of course, if any of my acts while
President were attacked, it might be
necessary at some time to defend my
self, but that aside, l come here not as
a party man, but entirely independent.
Then, Strengthening himself to his
full height, Mr.. johnson continued very
/ impressIvely:
q come here, as it were, bearing the
/ olive branch IN one hand and the Con-
stitutiOn Of my country in the other.
Il come with balm from GIlead.
q come to pour oil on the gaping
wounds Of my country.
Il come for peace.
