The Man who Betrayed a. President.

Nashville American.
Buck Lewis, janitor of the Meigs school, East
Nashville is dead. Lewlsjwas at one time the
body servanto of Andrew Johnson, when that
distinguished Tennesseean was President of the
United States and, createdsa sensation in Wash
ington by revealing the great connoners. pr-
waite affairs to tile Presidents enemies This
was done while the impeachment trial was going
on, became the ruling sensation of the hour,
and was a common theme for speculation
during many months following President
johnson discharged Lewis at that time, and he
came back to this city, where. he has remained
since.
Lewis has since frequently suffered great
want, anditold a. friend that President Johnson's
words when he discharged HIM, had often come
to hismind during, his misforunes. The words
referred to by LeWis.a are. these: Take this 500
bill and go where you Will trusted YOU and
you betraypdimy confidence forless than have
often given you without asking. All can say
to you is that You will never suffer as much as
you have caused me to suffer by your base
treachary,n
The person to whom Lewis told these words
only a few weeksagosis Andrew d. Foster, one
of the proprietors os the Maxwell, House barber
shop, who was for many years the body servant
and valet of President johnson, and to whom.
the great Tennesseean was a benefactor up to
the Lour of his death

as body. At themeeting. when this was read,
the union officers stated that they could accept

Mr.. l1eponaltl,s Moral Ethies.

Washington Critic.
If e'dispatc $ from Indianapolis are correct
ex-senator Mcdonald must have a very peculiar
code of moral ethics There was a conclave of
Democrats to- consider Mr. BlaIne's libel suit
against the indianapolis Sentinel. According: to
the report, the ex-senator urged that the case
should not be tried during the campaigns, but
that it should be postponed until after the cleo
ton, hoping, that then the suit would most likely
die a,natural death. as after the result was
known there would no longer be any incentive
to keep the matter before the public. That is Al
most delectable view of it. In other words, Mr.
Mcdonald thinks that a man has no right or in
centfve to protect the honor Of his family unless
he is up before the people for their votes.

American breeding

Chicago Tribune.
The notion that imported breediag stock is
better than that bred on American soil and I'M
der American systems Of management was al
most universally held less than a quanter Of O.
century ago. With many the single word i'm
portedg was all the Recommendation required
to. effect the saleof an animal. Even now there
are many who are influenced to very consid-
cradle degree by the magic word Yet there Is
not asingle reason for the belief that Ameri.
can-bred stock is not fully as good with
possibly the exception of o half dozen
famous animals rs any IN existence abroad AS
to Jersey cattle. this is becoming generally nm
derstood and there is no longer an eagerness to
secure atlong prices animals from the island
unless they have much more to recommend
them than the bare fact that they were bred
abroad The effortis, indeed to secure those
animals which have won for themselves a good
reputation by doing something Of practical
value. The butter test has done more thar has
anything else to bring people to their senses in
this matter.
IL the beef breeds there are, it is admitted,
as good animals in this country as are to be
found It IS not claimed thai there arc enough
of the best class to satisfy tho demand. Prob
ably there Will never be enough Of that kind IN
the world to satisfy the demand at, what farm
ers generally will call moderate figures But
there are plenty 10 improve the general
stock OF the country. and these can he bought at
prices so low that they leave no chance of loss.
Ehere'is no longer; Of necessity, any speculative
element In the purchase Of breeding stock of the
established beef breeds. The experience of the
last fifty years shows eeuclusivelY that the pur-
chase of cattle of pure breeding is among the
safest and most profitable of Tanning invest
ments. This has been the case when prees have,
been high. and when fashionable strains of
blood, having mach booming but little Practical
value, seduced breeders into paving high figures
for paper cattle. There can, then, be scarcely a
chance of loss when sires of good hloedieaH be
bought as they eannow, forPrices a. little higher

72812 Mr.. Cohen has turned over to his bonds,
men, all of his property, valued at $4,000. The
bondsmen held meeting yesterday for the
purpose Of determining upon plan for the
future, and it was decided to pay into the treas
ury the amount of the deficit, and allow Mr..
Cohen to serve out his term. There are fifty
six names to his bond, and the amount for which
each man will have to fall will be light and as a
sufficient amount Of property has been turned
over to them, they will not lose anything in
the end. A competent man to act as his deputy
will be named by the bondsmen, and James He
Watson will probably be the man. County war
rants are now Endorsed at the treasurer's office.
'for want of funds, not payable, Mr.. Cohen
will be able to resume his duties next week. It
will now be necessary for the county commits
