The Penn's Grove record., 1921-04-15

A LOUD rapping or his hotel door
IA in Washington awakened the vice
president, Andrew Johnson, to the
startling news that the president had
been MORALLY shot. Even before
Johnson took the oath the next morn
ing, strong men were laying plans.
with unseemly haste, to have him re-
verse Lincoln's generous policy toward
the conquered south.
Power quickly cooled the vindictive
passions kindled in Johnson by his
long, bitter feud with the southern
leaders, and he returned to Lincoln's
policy of reconciliation. Wisely, no
one was punished for treason. Hap
PLY, vengeance for a great war was
not wreaked on any individual.
The radicals, who had secretly re-
jOiced in JOhnsOn's accession, turned
upon him furiously. 1t was easy for
them to excite the doubt of the north
in this southerner, and to estrange
the Republicans from this Democrat.
For the first time even the sobriety
Of a president was called into ques-
ton. Johnson's unfortunate condition
at his Inauguration as vice president

had shocked Charles Sumner into
starting a whispered discussion of his
enforced resignation. When he be-
came president his intemperance in
speech lent color to exaggerated re-
ports of his intemperance in drink.
For two years before Lincoln died,
the radical leaders had been insisting
that congress, not the president, should
fix the terms of peace for the south
ern states. They had angrily de-
nounced him as a despot, an autocrat
and a usurper, because of his policy
of reconstruction. And congress had
persistently refused to admit the SEN
ators and representatives from the
states which he had reconstructed on
his liberal plan.
Apart from the Republican politi-
clans and a mere faction of extrem-
lists, the north was in favor of Lin
coins moderate policies. But when
it became a question between johnson
and the radicals, the radicals won over
whelmingly in the congressional cleo
ton of 1866.
With a two-thirds majority in the
new house and senate, the Republicans
Overrode the presidents vetoes, and
congress took command of the govern
ment. The reconstructed states were
Cutlawed. The south was divided into
military provinces. The ballot was
thrust into the unskillful hand of the
freedmen, Notwithstanding it was still
denied the negro in all but six states
of the north. At the same time a
large class of Southern whites was dis
franchised for d~isloyalty in the war,
which left several states to pass under
the corrupt government of northern
carpet baggers' and southern seal
awags,' who gained power by manipu-
1ating the ignorant black vote and who
held it by force of federal b%ayonets.
As northern fire eaters pressed to
the front, on one side of the Mason
and Dixon line, southern fire eaters
took the lead on the other side. By
night the Ku Klux Klan rode their sa-
Bile horses in a campaign of terrorism
to frighter the blacks from using the
ballot.

and south. still vas the marplot of the

before the war, 1t was doing its worst
to prevent reunion, now that the war

A NDREW JOHNSON'S presidency
N began with a great tragedy and
came neal ending in another. With
a two-thirds majority in congress, his
opponents overrode 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 before
had been denied a president, to choose
his W cabinet advisers. When he
tried to dismiss Secretary Stanton,
Stanton turned the war department in
to a fort, and for weeks held it, night
and day, sleeping and eating at his
post.

of high crimes and misdemeanOrs..
Although there were twelve counts IN

were specified and the misdemeanors
that were alleged, consisted almost
wholly of the presidents attempts to
remove Stanton without the consent Of
the senate.
This most important trial in Ameri-
can history began on March 5, 1868,
with the senate chamber crowded and
Chief Justice Chase of the Supreme
court in the chair.
There was a general expectation
that the senate would convict, no mat
ter how fimsy the case, and crowds
of eager partisans fiocked to Washing
ton to enjoy the spectacle of a White
House eviction-to see candy walk the
plank" Senator Ben Wade Of Ohio
was confident to the last that he
would be called on, is president of
the senate, to take Johnson's place.
His inaugural is said to have been
written and his cabinet selected, with
General Butler of Massachusetts for
secretary of state.
As the roll of the senate was called,
amid a hushed suspense, the Republi-
can senators all voted for conviction,
until the chief justice asked, MI.
Senator Fessenden, how say you? Is
the respondent, Andrew Johnson, pres
ident of the United States, guilty or
not guilty of a high misdemeanor as
charged in this articleP'
Not guilty." answered the distin-
finished senator from Maine who had
been in Lincoln's cabinet. The party
alignment was broken and it was again
broken in another moment by Senator
Grimes of Iowa, who had been stricken
with paralysis under the strain of the
trial, but who managed to struggle to
lis feet when his name was called.
Trumbull of Illinois, an old friend of
Lincoln, was another man of ability
and distinction among the seven Re
publican senators who broke away and
joined the Democrats. Yet there We're
thirty-five votes for conviction against
only nineteen for acQuittal, just n
.ess than the two-thirds necessary to
convict.
BY a single vote the unique indie
pendence of the American presidency,
which rnG.kes it the most eminent and
powerful political office in the world,
was saved. Had congress triumphed,
the first long step would have been
taken toward congressional govern
ment OIL the pattern Of the parliament

Old Granny Fox Drops a Hint

Clever and. shrewd is Old Granny Fox.
All the little people Of the Green For
est and the Green Meadows agree to
that. Even Old Man Coyote admits it.,
and you know Old Man Coyote has a
pretty good opinion Of his own clever
mesa and shrewdness and doesn't often
pay compliments to others.
Granny had been quite as much sur
prised as any of the others who had
seen all that happened off there by the
great windfall deep in the Green For
est. No one had been more surprised
than she. She had expected to see
Mrs. Bear run away at the first glimpse
of Farmer Browns boy just as more
than once she. had seen Buster Bear
run. So when instead Mrs. Bear chased
Farmer Browns boy up tree old
Granny Fox could hardly believe that
her eyes were not playing her tricks.
All the time Mrs. Bear kept Farmer
Browns boy up that tree old Granny
Fox watched and her shrewd old wits
were very busy. "Why should Mrs.
Bear fly into such rage and seem to
have no fear at all Of Farmer Browns
boy, while Buster Bear always runs at
the first ~vhiff Of man scent 2" thought
Old Granny Fox. at isn't because She
is bigger and stronger than he. I am
sure IL Isn't because she doesn't know
as much about these two-legged crea-
lures called men and how dangerous
they often are. There is something
else behind it, There is a cause Of
some kind for her quick temper and
bravery. wonder what it is"
1t was just then that Old Man Coyote
appeared and stood just in front of the
entrance to Mrs. Bears bedroom under
the great windfall. Granny Fox saw
Mrs: Bear look over at him then start
to climb down from the tree in which
was Farmer Browns boy.
Queer. Very queer. Very queer. in
deed" muttered Old Granny Fox to her
self. ut looks as if she is coming
down to drive Old Man Coyote away.
Now, why should she care for Old Man
Coyote? Can it be that she has fine
dinner hidden around here somewhere
and is afraid he will steal it?"
She watched Old Man Coyote disap-
pear and Mrs. Bear rush around the
md Of the great windfall. She heard
Mrs. Bears ugly growls. She watched

offered her daughterin-law money to
consent to a divorce.
Mr.. Gammans went to Porto Rico as
the representative of the law firm of
Round, Hatch, Dillingham; & Debe-
voisc. He started suit for divorce
there, alleging that his wife had been
cruel to him and had abandoned him.
In spite Of the allegation that the
elder Mrs. Gammans had offered her
daughter-in-law cash not to oppose such
an action, the younger Mrs. Gammans
Immediately started an action before
Justice Newburger for separation.
In support Of her action, she alleges
that her husband enjoys an income Of
$4,000 in Porto Rico, while she and her
e.ighteen-year-old daughter, Constance,
the child of her first marriage, subsist
laws brothers, although Constance had
been adopted formally by Mr.. Gam
mans.
Says She Wasn't Divorced
Mr.. Gammans alleged in his answer
to the separation suit that his wife
still was the wife Of Salvatore Guiffre,
whom she married in 1908, when she
was fourteen years old, at the time of
her marriage to him. The decree of

An assertion that Mrs. Gammans
was music student in Boston when
he met her is denied by Mr.. Gammans,
who says in his answer:
"She was not studying music when I
met her, but was spending money in
hotels and cafes of Boston which she
got from the father Of Gaynor in con-
sideration Of not setting up a claim
to be his lawful wife. The annulment
was obtained because of Gaynor's in
fancy, and she could have blocked it

Former Mrs. Caynor Finds
College Boy Husbands Failure
Last One Answers Her Separation Suit With Charge
That Her Second Marriage Was Bigamous and

Mrs. May oddo Guifgre Gaynor Gam
mans is beginning to doubt the success
OF the college student as husband.
She intimated yesterday, in afidavits
hled In the. Supreme Court in connec-
tfon with her separation suit against
Nelson Gammans, that the college stu
dent husband was not characterized bv
the insight, generosity and breadth of
view which she found in one of her
temporary fathcrs-in-law, the late
Mayor Gaynor.
Mrs. Gammans was married TO Msvor
Gaynor's son, Rufus. in 1909. The
bridegroom was twenty years old and a
student at Amherst. The marriage was
annulled at the instance Of Mavor
Gaynor, who is alleged by Mr.. Gam
mans, the defendant in yesterdays ac-
tion, to have paid the bride consider
able sum not to contest the suit.
This allegation was ignored by Mrs
Gammans in her afiidavits. She did,
however, refer to the attitude Of Mayor
Gaynor toward her marriage to Mr.
Gammans, then student at Harvard,
in 1911.
I'VE went to the marriage license
bureau in New York for \ license" she
said, "but when the clerk learned that

son he told US he would have to lay
the papers before the Mayor with a
view to learning whether there would
be any objection to giving the license.
Mayor Gave His Blessing
When he had done so he returned
and told US that the Mayor said: III
she desires to marry, there is no reason
why she should not. ] hope she may
marry good man and be happy"
When Mr.. Gammans and his wife
went to live with his mother in the St.
George Hotel, in Brooklyn, it is alleged
that the elder Mrs. Gammans was at
no pains to conceal her disapproval Of
