Perhaps never since the startling news OF the
assassination OF President Lincoln has any tele-
gram created more profound regret than that re-
ceived last Saturday announcing the sudden and
unexpected demise ofex-President Andrew john
son. The news fell upon the metropolis like q
pail, and it Is matter OF grave doubts
whether yesterday New York city or the
quiet little village OF Greenville, Tenn, was
the most serious or respectful in the cele-
bratton OF the obsequies. 10 be sure. those be-
yond the Mason and Dixon line could gaze upon
the calm, pale features of their illustrous dead
while the people here could only honor his men,

1t was this feeling. and this feeling alone, that
rendered Andrew Joanson's death q source OF
netonal bereavement, and. according 10 tele-
graphic advices previously communicated in these
columns there does not not seem to be any section

OF It's worthiest ana most honorable men.

all the adjacent avenues the flags hung at half

ana other public and governmental buildings
were closed out OF respect TO the memory OF the
eX-President, While the different social and po-
tcal societies ana clubs passed appropriate reso-

private, that was not In mourning, and that did
not betray its sympathy IN fitting manner.
