ANDREW JOHNSON's SPEECH
OpiniOns OF the Press.

The speech of Andrew johnson in the
Senate Yesterday will make Il profound
impression on the country, by reason of
its energy, carnestncss and courage. The
Louisiana question becomes but an in
cident in his sweeping arraignment of
the administration. Mr.. john
sons speech will probably be condemned
for Its impolicy, but policy Is MOTTO be ex-
pected from nature so blunt and cour-
sgeous. With too much passion for the
times and perhaps too much exaggeration,
he has honestly uttered unwelcome truths
and warned the nation of dangers it will
be wise to head.-Nst0 York Herald.
Mr.. Johnson's views on the third term
question, and reflections upon the Presi-
dent and General Sheridan, will attract
attention. but they lay the ex-President
open to the chargeof forgetting his prom
lse to ignore old persona! questions IN his
new Senatorial career.-Netc York Iri-
JRlc.
The crowds who went to hear him, and
the greater crowds who will read him for
curosity's sake, because he was once our
Chief Magistrate and so seems hedged
with uncommon attributes, will feel, we
connot doubt, that Senator Johnson
judgment upon the present political situa-
ton Is most weighty, coming from one OF
the founders Of the Republican party, a
Southern statesman, and an ex-President
of quite unmatched experience in every
department Of our State and Federal
svstem.-Ne,c FORK World.
The country generally takes a man at
an estimate the reverse of that he puts
upon himself 1t will read Mr.. John
sons dreary speech from curiosity this
time, but hardly again. Probably the
most definite idea that it will call up, as
It's readers remember some of the really
able State papers credited to Mr.. John
son. is that Mr.. Seward is dead.-Nco
FORK Times.
MIR. Johnson's speech is delivered from
an independent standpoint, and though
somewhat vesbore and wandering, 1t is
racv anda musing, and bristles all over
with sharp and singing pointsg.-N"'0

Important 10 Railway Employ ees

The Illinois Central Railroad has just
issued the following order 10 It's employ
ees. which is worthy Of further crcu.a-
ton: Hereafter, no compensation will
be allowed to officers or employees who
NAV be injured in the service of this
company where such injuries have
been caused by violation of H.
rules and regulations, or by careless
ness and want of proper pre-
caution on the part of the parties lnJur-
ed. In coupling cars, If II stick or hook
is used instead Of the hand to guide the
link, and proper caution Is observed,
there will be no accidents from this cause.
Getting feet fastened in frogs and fall
ing on the track result from attempting
to place links and pins int draw
bars while cars are in motion, and not
untreIuently walking backwards while
50 doing. Scarcely an instance occurs in
! tram service where men are hurt, that, if
! proper care had been Observed,
the accident would have been averted.
Any employee who does not use prudence
and take proper precaution to guard him
/ self against injury cannot be trusted to
/ take care of this COmpanyS property
| All such must be dropped from the SER
vice. Every application for II donation,
or claim for compensation from injur,
ed employees, must rest on its own mer'
it, and be accompanied by II report from
the head of the department IN which the
said the person was employed, setting
forth all the facts and circumstances con-
nrcled with such injury.

Editors OF the Register.
As am q reader Of your valuable
paper and see but little correspondence
from Marshall, thought that | would
pen few lines to you, and II you th'nk
them worthy place in your paper you
can use them.
The prospect of a good wheat crop i'll
this mart of the country is somewhat fat
tering, though | believe it has been in
iured in some places by the hard freezing,
Scarcely any blowing has been done yet
for the spring crop, the ground being
still frozen In regard to the fruit crop,
/ think peaches will be scarce. We will
have some apples, ifthey don't get killed
A great many potatoes got frozen during
the winter, so think there Will be a
scarcity of seed potatoes this spring 1t
is said by some that the solid ground was
frozen more than two feet deep.
As regards politics and religion, we
sometimes differ little; but | consider
that we have very peaceable neighbor
hood at present. hope that it MAJ ever
be so. Ii men differ in opinion, they
should not quarrel because they cannot
say Just alike. What is the interest of
one is the interest Of all, in a general
point of view For instance, when our
Legislature cnacts laws it effects Us all
alike, whether Democrat or Republican.
If it takes money out of the pocket of
one, it takes it out of the pocket of the
other.
When our legislators appropriate
money to foreign nobleman, or to the
improvement of some of our rivers, or to
erect some monument, or what not, it
affects Us all alike. While we have
Il debt hanging over our heads, | think
tina: we should try to elect men to office
who would use discretion and economy.
"Let wisdom guide our steps Alright,
And all our thoughts CONTROL.

shown to the Governor, which, if the letter be
genuine, discloses the most corrupt purposes
on Robertson's part. They further say that
they sought the advice of Mr.. Jilson, the State
superintendent of education, and of Mr.. War
rem, principal of the State Normal School, in
the selection of books, and were largely infu-
enced by the written views of Mr.. Warren.
They have no knowledge that Robertson's de-
signs we're communicated to any other men,
bers of the commission, and, while their own
views of the proper selection of books were
sometimes overruled by the commission, they
regarded these cases as fair matters for differ
ence of opinion. Finally, they declare that
80 far as they are able to accomplish it, the
matter shall be investigated to the bottom,
andifany of the commission have been guilty
of corrupt practices, or if any of the books
selected are shown to be intrinsically objec-
tionable, they will make the proper changes !;
and, if the charges against Robertson are sus-
lained, he shall be exposed and his corrupt
work undone, so far as it may have affected
the work of the commission. The Governor
has directed Mr.. Shrewsbury, the secretary
Of the commission, to call a meeting of the
commission Immediately, to take into consd-
Grafton the charges made against Robertson,
and to take such action as may be deemed
advisable.
