dent Grant. and the cause has been at

him. to intemperance. The following
letter gives other reasons for this de
cline than those usual Y offered We
give it to our readers with this caution:

Boston Herdid one of those magnani

pendent" newspapers. of which this
country is ust now cursed with several
noted specimens. Nevertheless. the
account may be true:
The simple truth is. that the Presi-
dent is looking very bad. He no longer
has the sleek. well-fed look in the face
which has been his characteristic eve,
since the war. His features now have
swollen look. and his face is terribly

rash or sensational predictions of hi,

will he no difference of opinion outside
the legal profession. In regard to his
peculiar belief. and whether he was
rightfully or wrongfully excommunica-

know nothing and care less. 1t had
nothing to do with the "unfavorable
comments upon his character" to which
he takes exceptions: and the intrusion
of his peculiar notions of church gov

of place in this connection. This part
of Mr.. JohnSon's letter is Il piece of

such Il record. Otherwise it may do
injustice to his memory.
We may have done the Christian
IHiOH injustice To class it with the In
depeni'nt but on referring to our AZ
ticlc of Il dozen lines which has brought
out this long letter from Mr.. johnson.
We find we did not even mention the
name Christian Ini0n. What We did
say WAS this at is not vet forgotten
that Il dozen Years ago Theodore Tiltun
WAS the editor OF the independent, the
great religion newspaper of the coun-
/ try. The Christian public will learn

mcrcial advertising sheets, run by some
sharper for money, on the strength of IL
great mans name, aud take less pre-
tending but more religious papers,
As We said above, the name of the
! Christian Union was not mentioned at
all in the article. but there is III infer
ence implied 10y the near proximity of
/ the two sentences which is not compli-
mentary to Mr.. .Johnson's journal. and we
cannot blame him for feeling gIieved ut
being cli>sed with the independent as it
WAS. or Theodore Tilton as he is. In
our reference to the independent we did

the religion of the paper and Henry G..
