WASHINGTON, D. C., OCT 81, 1885
ANDY JonNsoN,s LOYALTY.

About four years ago Mr.. Chaunccy
NJ. Depew of New York met General
Grant at dinner and had long conver-
sation with him, chiefly about the Gen
erals relations with President Andrew
johnson. 1t has just occurred to Mr.
Depew to write up his recollcctions Of
this conversation in an open letter to
Colonel F. d. Grant, which was yester.
day furnished to the press.
There Is nothing in it that has not
been said before by the ttaducers Of
President Johnson, and il is little
singular that q man of Mr.. Depew's re.
puted intelligence should all at once
become inspired to contribute of his
stock of misinformaton to a new attack
upon President Johnson's memory.
The time and the occasion seem pecu-
liarly inappropriate for reviving
charges which in the estimation of
those who best knew Mr.. Johnson
never had any foundation in fact.
That President johnson had ambi.
tion is well known. That he desired
to expedite the reunion of the lately di-
vided family of States by some quicker
and better process than that of parti-
san reconstruction is equally we'll un-
derstood. That he ever contemplated
any scheme of self-aggrandizement at
the expense Of the honor of his country
or entered into any conspiracy for such
restoration of political power to the
South as would practically nullify the
settlements of the war is too prepos-
ferrous to credit, in view of the Presi.
dents historic devotion to the Union
and great personal sacrifices to its
maintenance.
We fear that Mr.. Depew's recollec
tion of the conversation is somewhat
misty. 1t is not improbable that the
conversation itself was more or less
muddled Dependence is not always
to be placed upon what is said at the
convivial banqueting board between
the sherry and champagne and Other
more potential beverages.
The Washington critic., 1885-10-21

THE New York Republicans are
counting a good deal on forthcoming
surprise in their favor which, il is un-
derstood, is soon to emanate from Mr..
Conkling. The latter is supposed to
have settled all his old political ac-
counts, and to be once more in line
with his party. Yet we know of nc
mathematical rule 10y which Conkling
surprise can be accurately measured in
advance

THE social season in Texas has been
inaugurated with great eclat There
was ball in Hallitsville in that State,
few days ago, and two young men
had a little disagreement. The hip
pocket was called in as an umpire, and
the dance went on with fireworks ac-
compartment. When the smoke had
cleared away twas found that one man
had been killed and one fatally and two
slightly wounded.

SAYS the Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer; ~ dropped in the
United States Supreme Court room few
days ago. The habits Of the Justices pend
ing an argument are striking. For instance,
Bradley listens for few minutes and then
falls asleep. Hisreveries are checked when
the court adjourns, Miller sometimes
closes his eyes, but not to sleep. His is
said to be the most vigorous intellect on the
bench, Bradley the most subtle, Matthews
the most penetrating and Fields the most
comprehensive, As the court is now organ
lied II is conceded by lawyers to be the
strongest judicial body in this or any other
landn

wantsto Take the stump.

Miss Cynthia Cleveland, who is we'll
known in Chicago, has come here to get
an engagement to make speeches in the in
terest of the Democratic party in New York
State. Thus far, however, she has fail ed to
get any assignments of that character, but
she says she will have her say in letters to
the New York papers, If in no other way.
She declares that her namesake in the
White House is the best President since the
days of Lincoln.

WHEN WE read about the millions
upon millions of letters delivered and
collected by the letter-carriers during
the past year, the wonder grows how
this country ever managed to get along
without these useful attaches of the
postal service. 1t is very certain that
we shall never be able to do without
them in the future and they deserve
moreover to be literally paid for their
work.

AFTER HE rs DEAD.

How very good bad man Is
When he Is dead
How sweet the hours n bad man knows
On his death-bed!
Fen when he's hanged his spirit flies
Straight on 10 bliss,
Ahead OF good ghosts on their way
The Throne to kiss
Old Peter may forbid him sharp;
For Peters wary:
But here, the bad man says, read my
obituary.
"Just see, sir, what l. said by the
Great news reporter!
That's me, and every word Is true
And nothing shorter.n
The slow, good ghosts at length arrive;
They doubt their wits,
For there, high up, with crown and wings,
The bad man sits

TT is REPORTED from Rangoon that
King Theebaw said the other day to his
Generals that he would personally lead
his troops against the English army.
It is more likely that when Theebaw
gets sober he will content himself by
beheNding fifty or hundred more of
his near relatives.

THERE is difference between Dis.

sheimer as to the prosecution of the
Civil and L. S. cases against Warner

Mr.. Dorsheimor did not consult with
him before having Ward arrested, and
that the arrest will prevent Warner
from being used as U. S. witness
against Ward and all this with view
to letting Ward Off. Mr.. Dorsheimer
replies that Mr.. MARITIME does not know
the elementary rules of law. He says
that the only ground upon which War

OHIO IN A RAD WAY.

Is Ohio really degenerating? When
she succeeded in having Mr. Hayes
nominated for the Presidency it became
popular saying that "Ohio is great
State" And when Ohio began to take
in all the offices after Mr.. Hayes was
inaugurated it became greater State.
1t succeeded in nominating the late
President Garfield, and then it was the
greatest State of them all. 1t got
altogether too big, and became pos
sessed of the idea that it was the United
States and Cincinnati was the capital of
the confederation. 1t took on large
and compact assortment of the d" big
head"
From that time dates its degeneracy.
Senator Sherman and the Republicans
went a-wooing Copiah, Danville and
the bloody shirt generally. The Demo
Gratis shelved Mr.. Thurman, split all to
pieces on the tariff, because of the re-
duction of the duty on wool, and fur
ther divided themselves into "kids, 4"
led by John r. Mclean and "mOss-
backs" of whom Senator Thurman
was supposed to be the typical repre-
sentative, though he did not then take
an active part in State politics.
Then came the Cincinnati riots. The
people of that city were like the
Mikado. They had not seen an execu-
tion for such long time that they
peremptorily ordered several to satisfy
the people of the modern Titipu.
The next thing was a much mixed
election, with threats of more riots.
And to crown it all an investigation
shows that the party managers out
there, who have always considered
themselves the smartest of the smart,
have been caught in the bald headed
palpable and silly trick of putting more
votes in the ballot-boX than there were
voters registered. Was there ever any
thing more stupidity ridiculous? Truly
Ohio has fallen. If she does not look
out even Rhode Island will be turning
up its little pug nose at her.
