CrxrR,1 Benz. A. WILLS, Of New York

GENERAL BENJ. A. WILLS, OF New YORK,
Congressman elect, had lengthy interview
with the President, on Tuesday. Gen. Willis,
although an earnest Tilden man, was an old
Union soldier under Gen Grant AID called up
on him to pay his respects and to give him the
views of the Democrats upon the situation.
Gen. Willis states that he was very favor
ably impressed with the interview. lie
told the President that the American people
Endorsed the spirit of his order, and that
they intended to have fair play and nothing
else. Gen. Willis says that he is convinced
from the language and manner Of the Pres
ident, that be is actuated by the highest mo-
tiyes, and that he is determined to execute
the laws as he understands them, and to pre-
serve the public peace at all hazards. The
President spoke with considerable feeling OF
the prospect of his own speedy retirement
from public life, and of the pleasure with
which he awaited the day which should re
lease him from the obligations of public
duty. The President said that he had been
AZ the front since the first outbreak of the
war. that he had been called upon on many
irving occasions when the Republic seemed
imperilled to do what he could to save Ii.
He had endeavored to do so throughout his
entire administration, and should seek to do
50 to the end of it. lie had no further de-
sire Tor public Office, and only hoped to sur
render in peace the executive chair to whom
soeyer under the Constitution should be de-
clsred to be his lawful successor.
The President added that he now antici-
rated no danger Of an outbreak. He be
ieyed that the American people would &C
cept the situation, whatever the result OF
the count might be, and that the honestly
elected candidate would be peaceably inaugu-
rated but the President intimated that
in accordance with his duties as Chief Exec
utive, and as Commander of the army and
navy Of the United States, he had taken
such precautions as must necessarily pre-
vent any serious disturbance Of the public
peace in any quarter
This Is all just what was to be expected
from the President; bat We venture to say
that very few Democratic papers will print
a word Of it. They prefer to represent the
President as attempting, first to control the
elections, and now to secure a fraudulent
count, by means of Federal bayoncts."

All About Bob Ingersoll,
Knoxville journal, Oct. 11th.

A recent biographcr of Mr.. Robert
Ingersoll says that he is the son of
Il Congregational minister, was born
in Dresden, a small town in northern
New York, and is 43 years old. He
was baptized when he was three years
old in a theatre in New York City.
His father was then preaching in the
city and in this theatre, his church
having been destroyed by the great
fire. His father, it seems, inclined
toward liberalism, and the estrifes and
annoyances he was subjected to from
the narrow belief of his flocks early
embittered the prccocious youth, and
filled him with the utmost hatred of
the gloomy spirit of Calvanism. The
father died in 1859, but when Robert
uttered that famous lecture on "Her-
etics and Heresies," and in which oc-
