A NDREW JOHNSON'S presidency
IA began with a great tragedy and
came near ending In another. With
a two-thirds majority in congress. his
opponents OVERRIDE his vetOes, seized
control of reconstruction. stripped the
president Of authority to dismiss a
postmaster or to get rid Of an enemy
even in his own cabinet, and bound
him hand and foot.
Although the president faithfully ex-
ecuted the reconstruction laws that
had been passed over his vetoes, he
asserted the right, which never before
had been denied president, to choose
his own cabinet advisers. When he
tried to dismiss Secretary Stanton.
Stanton turned the war department in
to a fort, and for weeks held 1t. night
and day, sleeping and eating at his
post.
Emotion having supplanted reason,
the house FASTENED to declare that "in
the name Of the house of representa-
tives and of the people Of the United
States we do impeach Andrew John
son, president Of the United States,
Of high crimes and misdemeanors."
Although there were twelve counts IN

dered to vacate without the least pos

The roads leading to McGrath and
Solana are veritable streams of re
fugees, moving to safety. The road
leading to Whitepine from Solana is
impossible because of flames sweeping
the road.
