It is natural to associate Lincoln and Johnson to-

his figure recedes into history, becomes dignifed

The rivers continued to rise throughout the
middle section of the county and parts of the
NorthWest,to greater or less extent, ON Monday.
The special report Of the signal service stated
that the Ohio river had risen three and a-haf
feet at Pittsburgh, seven and half feet at Gin
cinnati, feet at Louisville, and that danger
GUS floods would probably occur between Louis
vile and Pittsburgh. The Mississippi at St.
Louis, had risen three feet, five inches at Cairo,
and fallen inches at Keokuk. Tie Allegheny
and Monongahela had risen rapidly. The Mis-
souri, and Red rivers had changed but slightly
The Cumberland had fallen fourteen inches at
Nashville. Very heavy rains fell during the
twenty -four hours ending Monday evening in
the regions Of the Ohio Valley and Eastward
to the Atlantic coast. Further accounts OF the
damage by the rains and the overfiows show
immense losses in Missouri and other Western
States, and a widely extended break up of
trave. ON railroads running to and from the
leading business centres Of the West. Several
places have been inundated and some narrow
escapes from drowning are reported.

Death Of Andrew Johnson Order from Pres
ident Grant.
WASHINGTON, July 8.

WASHINGTON, July 81, 1875.
It becomes the painful duty of the President
to announce to the people of the United States,
the death OF Andrew johnson, the last suryi-
vor OF his honored predecessors, wliicl, occurred
in Carter county, East Tennessee, at an early
hour this morning.
The solcmnity of the occasion which called
him to the Presidency. with the varied nature
and length of his public services, will cause
him to be long remembered, and occasion
mourning for the death of distinguished pub
lie servant.
AS a mark of respect for the memory of the
deceased, it is ordered that the Executive Man-
sion and several departments of the Govern
met at Washington, be draped i'll mourning
until the close Of the day designated for the
funeral, and that all public business be suspen-
ded Oh that day.
1t is further ordered that the War and Navy
Departments cause suitable honors to be paid
on the occasion to the memory of the illustli-
ous dead. u. S. GRANT,
By the President /: John l.. Cadwalader,
Acting Secretary of State.

A Contrast.

While Senator Thurman was addressing a
solemn and dispirited audience of about seven
or eight hundred Democrats, at Mansfield. O..
last week, Gov. Hayes, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, was speaking to about nine
thousand enthusiastic Republicans at Marion,
in the same State. Senator Thurman attempted
the dangerous feat Of riding both sides Of the
finance question, declaring himself in favor Of
hard money currency, at the same time adj
vocatlng the election of Governor Allen on a
rag money platform. He contendcd that the
Emancipation, as presented by the Ohio De-
mocracy, was local in its bearing, but declared
that it was necessary to the success of the
Democratic party in IS: 6, that the Democracy
should carry Ohio in October. The redictl-
lous attitude he assumed in claiming that the
issues of the canvass were merely local, but
the result national, is fair specimen of the
laborcd effort of the Senator. 1t was beneath
the character of fourth-rate curb-stone politi-
clan, and places the Senator in a very unen.
vabc attitude before the country.
Governor Hayes met the finance issue bold
y and ally, and gave the following reasons for
The faith that is in him:

A case almost parallel to the Herrigues cru

in Philadelphia some years since, came to
